It was busy until five o'clock in the afternoon, and the crowd of people signing up for the martial arts center thinned out. Liang Qu held the pen with five fingers, wrote down his name, let it dry and put it aside. He has a thick stack of registration books on hand, at least more than a hundred people. The lowest grade is seven taels per person, and the minimum guarantee is one thousand taels of silver. If calculated based on the middle grade of twenty taels, it is three thousand taels. Several students I met in the academy before came to sign up, saying that they wanted to develop in both civil and military fields, and they all chose the highest grade of fifty taels. No wonder Pang Qinghe came to vote and discuss matters. If he lost, he would throw away three hundred taels of silver. If you have a good reputation, you will really have a lot of money. Xiang Changsong walked out of the front door, picked up the teapot on the table, poured water, poured three cups in a row, and breathed out a sigh of relief: "I'm so thirsty that I'm so bald. Let's go, let's go to Master's house. Break the Blood Pass!" "Okay." Liang Qu packed up his pen and paper. The first three levels are not dangerous for warriors, but the fourth level is the most dangerous level because it involves all the blood in the body. If you are not careful, you will die.
He even needed the help of three blood-coagulating pills and three blood-changing pills to successfully pass the test. He had to learn more about the past. Hu Qi also packed up his things and turned around and said, "Li Libo, Chen Jiechang, you two can help take a look at the martial arts gym!" "Okay, Senior Brother Hu."*2 The last time there was no one in the martial arts hall, Hu Qi temporarily asked Lu Shaohui to support him, and the incident was still fresh in his memory. It gave him a long memory. People who learn martial arts are full of energy, and many of them have never read a book. They are brought in by their families who have some extra money. When you are seventeen or eighteen years old, things are most likely to go wrong when you get together, so you have to find someone you can trust. Li Libo and Chen Jiechang are about to break through the barrier and be able to suppress the new apprentice. They are responsible for their duties and are suitable. Speaking of which, it was thanks to Liang Qu that Li and Chen had spent three months studying, but it was Liang Qu who allowed them to stay in the name of recruiting recruits for the martial arts school. The martial arts hall is expanding, and there are often more than a hundred people. Hu Qi, Xiang Changsong, and even Liang Qu can't take care of them. At present, I only have to take care of food every day, and I have no wages. I have to wait until I clear the customs before I can have a monthly salary of three taels of silver. In the Yangfujing room. Xiang Changsong sat cross-legged on the ground, wearing only a pair of black wide pants, and breathed out his breath. After a moment, he swallowed a fiery red pill. Liang Qu couldn't take his eyes off, learning advanced experience. The red pill is a blood-activating pill, mixed with horn powder of pomfret, which can activate the blood in the whole body and warm up the blood-breaking barrier. After the warm-up is over, we really start to break through the level. Xiang Changsong took a long breath, opened the medicine bottle, and took another fiery red pill. This pill was bigger than the previous one, but it was not a blood-activating pill, but a blood-transforming pill! The blood-changing pill is also mixed with ox horn and pomfret horn powder as a medicinal ingredient, but the two have completely different pharmacological properties and can fully activate human blood.
To break the blood barrier, first take the blood-transforming pill, then the blood-clotting pill, and so on for three rounds. In the perception, Xiang Changsong took the blood-changing pill. Within a few breaths, the energy in his body suddenly became intense. The red light of energy and blood came out of the body, and the air flow in the quiet room stirred, almost becoming wind. Xiang Changsong's skin was red, his forehead was sweating slightly, and his breathing was rapid. Yang Dongxiong shouted: "Sting Yangming, bleeding Qi." Xiang Changsong frowned slightly, his breathing gradually became calmer, and his chest rose and fell according to its inherent rhythm. The red skin became even redder, and a strong smell of blood suddenly rose in the quiet room with a faint scent of incense. The source was none other than Xiang Changsong! A horrifying scene appeared. On his bright red skin, large drops of blood rolled down, and they actually seeped out from his pores! But no one was shocked. This was a blood exchange in the Blood Pass. Three surges and three condenses! Three times the blood was emptied, three times the blood was condensed! All must be completed within an hour at one go! Ordinary people will become weak in their limbs and pale if they lose 20% of their blood, and their lives will be in danger if they lose 30% of their blood. Losing 10% of the blood, death is certain! Without the foundation of the first three levels, you will die on the spot after just one surge! The first three levels of the warrior can be said to be preparations for the three surges and three condensations. The blood rolled down like dew, and when the temperature was too high, it dried up on the skin and formed a thick scab. After half a stick of incense, Xiang Changsong's breath was extremely weak. He raised his hand tremblingly, blood scabs fell off his body, and he took the blood coagulation pill with difficulty. The throat was surging, and the pills entered the abdomen. The aura that fell to the bottom of Xiang Changsong gradually picked up. Until the breath is stable, the intensity is twice as strong as at the beginning! Xiang Changsong took the second blood-changing pill, and the same scene as before appeared, and the smell of blood in the quiet room became stronger. The surrounding ground has already formed a thick layer of scabs, like peeling pine cones, with layers of scales peeling off. Then came the second blood-coagulating pill, the third blood-transforming pill, and the third blood-clotting pill. Repeated three times, each time Xiang Changsong's aura increased rapidly. If a mentally fragile person were to observe this, he would probably be frightened to the point of splitting his liver and gallbladder. The bleeding all over his body would be too terrifying, and the feeling of powerlessness after death would be even more like falling into an abyss. It is precisely because of this that Poxue Pass needs someone to look after him and provide him with spiritual support. This is also to prevent accidents and prevent him from dying silently. Yang Dongxiong asked Liang Qu to come and observe just to get a vaccination and familiarize himself with the process.
When Xiang Changsong's Qi and blood recovered for the third time, the intensity of his breath had tripled! In a battle between warriors, the one with strong breath will live, and the one with short breath will die! If you can't come back in one breath, you may be killed on the spot! But once the blood barrier is broken, the flowers will bloom, the fire will cook the oil, and the strength in the whole body will never be exhausted or diminished! Xiang Changsong shook his neck slightly, and the blood scabs fell off and broke into powder on the ground. Finally, he opened his eyes, and a brilliant light seemed to shoot out: "It's done!" "Good!" "Congratulations, senior brother!" "Congratulations, junior brother!" Everyone stood up with smiles on their faces to congratulate, and they were relieved in their hearts. Almost everyone present had experienced the blood gate, so how could they not know the danger. Now that he has crossed this threshold, he is a real martial artist, and they are all happy for Xiang Changsong from the bottom of their hearts. Xiang Changsong stood up from the ground, and with the energy of Qi, all the blood scabs were shattered, revealing his original appearance. The blood Qi that penetrated the body was completely restrained, not weaker, but stronger, which was the embodiment of the condensation of Qi and blood. It would not be revealed unless it was deliberately stimulated. He clenched his fists, and his excitement was beyond words. Xu Zishuai put his arm around Xiang Changsong's shoulders and said, "Don't be too happy. Go take a shower and wash off the bloody smell. Then go eat. I've been hungry all day, waiting for your meal today! I'm going to kill you!" "Of course, I'm the host today. You can order whatever you want!" Xiang Changsong was beaming with joy and ran out of the quiet room excitedly. He was also uncomfortable with the bloody smell The water hit the rocks, splashing water. "How does it feel to have a blood transfusion?" "It's so uncomfortable. I really feel like I'm going to die. I have no strength at all. I almost couldn't swallow the pills." "Hahaha, it feels so good after breaking through the level." "Yeah, I feel a lot more relaxed and my breathing is light." "Now Xiaojiu is the only one among us who is not a martial artist. We have to hurry up! Maybe we can have another meal this year." Liang Qu and others walked to Nanshi Bridge. Xu Zishuai, who was joking, looked sharp: "Hey, isn't that Pang Qinghe?" "Really, they also came to Langyun Tower for dinner?" "They saw us." Everyone didn't expect it to be such a coincidence. They met at noon and met again in the evening.
On the other side, Pang Qinghe also noticed Yang Dongxiong and his group. After Kou Zhuang noticed the gaze, he touched the back of his head and smiled foolishly, with bruises on his face. "Master Pang is also coming to Langyunlou for dinner?" Pang Qinghe smiled awkwardly: "Yes, everyone is very tired today, so I will take my disciples out for a good meal. That's just right. I'm sorry for what happened today. Master Yang, this meal will be on me, Pang." "Master Pang, you don't have to spend money." Yang Dongxiong shook his head, "Today, my eighth disciple broke through the blood barrier and came here to celebrate." "It's really a cause for celebration, so I won't disturb you guys any more." The two sides exchanged a few words without much greeting. Liang Qu and his group entered the box and ordered dishes happily. "Hey, there are a lot of new dishes!" Dangtou bowed and smiled: "Thanks to Master Yang, there are more and more businesses in the town. The ingredients that were rare before can now be seen every few days, so they are all added to the menu. There are also various kinds of monster meat. Gentlemen, try it?" "Okay, I will make my eighth junior brother bleed!" Xiang Changsong accepted everyone and waved his hand: "Come on, my pocket is full!" "First, bring the wine, ten jars of Zuixian wine! One jar per person!" "Okay!" "This mangosteen pig, half a head!" Warriors eat in the style of warriors, with big appetites, and it is impossible to order dishes one by one. They often order half a head of goods and let the chefs use their skills to make them. "Brother Xu, are you saving me money? Why eat half a head? If you want to eat, eat a whole head!" "Okay! Then one head, I'll try this one" "Okay, okay, bring some vegetarian food, otherwise it will be too greasy." The atmosphere in the wing room was warm. The wine was served one after another, and the dishes were served one after another. Liang Qu was not polite and ate heartily, because it would be his turn in the future anyway. Compared with the meal that the owner of the fishing shed invited him to, the dishes on the table were indeed much richer. Big places are indeed good, and there are no such things in the corners. An hour later, Xiang Changsong was dizzy and leaned against the wall to pay the bill. "What, it has been paid?" "Yes, Master Xiang, it was paid by the martial arts master who came with you." "Oh, that's it."
Xiang Changsong held his head and took a break, then returned to the box to tell Yang Dongxiong. "He is a very thoughtful person." Yang Dongxiong shook his head after hearing this, and he turned to look at Liang Qu, "How long will it take you to break the bone barrier?" "Today and tomorrow." "When you break the barrier, we will go to the small lake you mentioned and explore it."
