"It seems Du Qiaoyun has found a beloved mate, willing to give up the opportunity to advance further in the Martial Dao for Che Zhongyang."
"Alas!"
"Let's hope they're a good match."
Getting on the carriage, Fang Zheng shook his head and sighed lightly, then quickly stopped pondering this issue, lowering his eyes to the slightly yellowed book in his hand.
"Master Hu's Treatise on Qi and Blood Transformations"
The title of 'Master' is not given lightly; at least the universally recognized Masters are top-tier experts in both magic and the Martial Dao.
The Pure Yang Palace has many disciples and exceptional heritage, but according to Zhang Mingrui, only a few Masters have erged over hundreds of years.
One of them was even the founder of the Pure Yang Palace.
This shows just how rare and exceptional Masters are.
Master Hu,
really is a true Master!
However, this book is more like a travelogue, with very few sections on martial arts, mostly describing his travels through mountains and rivers.
Fortunately, the part about Qi and Blood has special annotations.
"Practicing martial arts and cultivating thods are nothing more than refining essence into Qi, refining Qi into spirit, refining spirit and returning void, and the Qi Blood Third Transformation is rely refining essence, an entry into the Martial Dao."
"Heh..."
"No wonder he's a Master, what a grand tone."
Fang Zheng shook his head and continued to look down.
"Refining the Skin, Bone Forging, Refining the Internal Organs, Qi Blood Third Transformation, Rebirth, once the essence qi is sufficient, one can open acupoints and rge with Heaven and Earth Qi."
"At this point, True Qi is ford."
"You ask what acupoints are?"
"Primordial Spirit, True Spirit, Soul..."
Cannot comprehend!
Fang Zheng furrowed his brows; perhaps the book's contents are profound in aning, but at this mont, he feels like a primary school student looking at advanced calculus.
Everything appears to be Greek!
Moreover, it's all disconnected, jumping from one point to another.
"Qi and Blood, True Qi, and this so-called 'Qi,' what exactly are they?"
"No, that's not right!"
Fang Zheng shook his head:
"For now, I don't need to know what they are; I just need to follow the steps in my cultivation, and that's sufficient."
After flipping through the whole book, along with his previous martial arts knowledge, he finally cleared his thoughts.
After Three Blood, what needs to be done is to condense Qi and Blood, impacting the True Energy Realm.
As for how to condense Qi and Blood...
Given Fang Zheng's current situation, it's best to focus on one martial art exclusively, using others as supplentary, which might take about ten to eight years.
He's now twenty-six; in ten to eight years, he'd be in his thirties; it's not too late.
Moreover, this is the worst scenario; if successful, he might achieve it in three to five years, possibly just reaching thirty then.
Naturally,
it's also possible to create a unified cultivation technique based on his own studies.
At that ti,
he'll naturally be able to condense Qi and Blood, unify the Three Forces, and possibly step directly into the True Energy Realm.
This approach is certainly difficult, and Fang Zheng admits he's not the kind of genius who can create a Dharma Gate, so he can only tread the convenient path.
Which is...
acquiring a superior martial art.
And then changing his cultivation thod!
As long as there are no special restrictions, changing thods isn't troubleso, like Fang Zheng himself who doesn't know how many martial arts he's cultivated.
The initial Xingyi Fist, Three-Body Form has long been shelved and rarely used.
"Better be prepared on multiple fronts."
Setting aside the book, he whispered with a sigh:
"First, focus on Fishing Toad Force, try to integrate Qi and Blood, and simultaneously see if I can comprehend a 'Supre Martial Art.' anwhile, the search for a superior Dharma Gate mustn't lag behind."
"Whichever succeeds first, use that one."
"No need to rush."
Indeed, there's no need to rush; Gu'an County is just a small place; even counting all the martial artists who reached Three Blood, there are only about twenty.
Hmm,
maybe there are a few more now, but not many."
As for martial artists, they're even fewer and far between.
Plus, with his deep foundation and trump card, unless he's facing a martial artist who has achieved True Qi cultivation, he's not afraid.
In modern society...
Back when he just achieved First Blood, he could wreak havoc in Miami Club, forcing He Xuanping to admit defeat; now that he's reached Three Blood, there's even less to worry about.
The perseverance to reach higher realms isn't really for safety but out of curiosity.
Curious about what kind of scenery that realm would entail?
"Master."
Li San's voice ca:
"The road ahead is blocked; it seems soone is causing trouble."
"Oh!" Fang Zheng looked up and asked curiously:
"What's going on?"
"Kicking the hall," Li San replied:
"A strong person wants to challenge the Divine Spear Hall; huh, this person's spear technique seems similar to the Divine Spear Hall's."
Fang Zheng pulled aside the carriage curtains, looking down towards the front, where he saw two people holding spears in a fierce battle at the entrance of the Divine Spear Hall, the situation perilous.
"Xu Xiu!"
The son of the Divine Spear Hall's master, Xu Seng's son Xu Xiu is one of them.
He wielded a Red Tassel Spear, its tip flashing with cold light, the red tassels dancing wildly, the shadow of the spear multiplied, and the powerful qi emanating effortlessly swept the surroundings.
Three Blood!
He also made a breakthrough.
Fang Zheng's eyes moved slightly, yet he wasn't surprised.
Most martial artists break through Three Blood between the ages of twenty and thirty, nearly impossible later and lacking foundation earlier.
Of course, there are exceptions.
Like the person Xu Xiu is fighting against, who still shows signs of youth on his face, seemingly under twenty, but exhibits extrely seasoned spear technique."
Cultivation base,
is also Three Blood.
Fang Zheng's eyes sharpened, instantly noticing that although their spear techniques differ slightly, they share the sa origin — they must be from the sa lineage.
Their contest appears akin to sparring between fellow sect brothers.
"Collapse!"
The young man's long spear suddenly trembled, gathering the spear shadow scattered in the sky, thrusting out, seemingly slow but faster than lightning.
Even accompanied by the howl of 闷雷.
Xu Xiu's eyes narrowed, using his body as a bow, the long spear as an arrow, his fra drawing taut like a bow, his entire body shuddering, the long spear in his hand darting like lightning.
"Clang..."
The two spears clashed mid-air, the point of contact erupting with strands of electric arc, accompanied by deafening thunderous roars that forced the surrounding onlookers to retreat repeatedly.
