Chapter 115: Chapter 75: Advancing to the Qi-Blood Realm! Lifespan Limit! 3
Standing in place and feeling the changes within his body, Su Changkong marveled at the transformation after stepping into the Qi-Blood Realm.
Having achieved the Qi Blood One Transformation, the change was nothing short of a rebirth!
The Five Animal Frolics and Turtle Breath Technique would soon break through, ascending to a new level!
Even his lifespan had increased. Su Changkong’s life expectancy rose from the original too years to 110 years.
It seemed that advancing within the Martial Arts Realm could also extend one’s life, but one had to reach that realm, and among ten thousand martial artists, not even one might achieve this degree.
“Although I broke through to the Qi-Blood Realm, I’m out of money,” Su Changkong said with a sigh, even as he felt happy.
The Qi-Blood Realm is divided into four tiers and twelve transformations, with every three transformations constituting one tier, corresponding to levels of Qi-Blood Veil, Qi-Blood Wolf Smoke, Qi-Blood Long Dragon, and Qi-Blood Furnace.
Having broken through to the Qi-Blood Realm, Su Changkong was merely at the level of Qi Blood One Transformation, the Qi-Blood Veil. To complete the twelve blood refinements, one could imagine there was a long road ahead!
Su Changkong thought about ways to earn money. He had mastered alchemy which in theory is a profitable skill, but in reality, it’s not that simple due to ’ competition.
Just by himself, Sun Yiyear of the Precious Pill Residence had accumulated a reputation over dozens of years in Ink Forest Prefecture City. How could Su Changkong possibly compete with him?
Even if Su Changkong were willing to refine pills for free, people might not agree, preferring to pay a hefty price to queue at Sun Yiyear’s.
After all, the cost of alchemy isn’t small, and a single failure would mean a total loss!
If Su Changkong himself had to choose between an unknown newcomer and an experienced old alchemist with decades of experience, he would also choose the experienced alchemist without a doubt!
Moreover, Su Changkong’s alchemy had reached the third realm, and he knew how to refine only the Vivid Qi Pill and Qi-Blood Pill. Indeed, his skill wasn’t profound; if he tried to help others with alchemy and failed a few times, his reputation might be completely ruined.
“Let’s not think about this for now. Once I break through the Turtle Breath Technique and Five Animal Frolics, I’ll think about money. With strength, there s no fear of not earning money, right?”
Su Changkong didn’t dwell on it any further.
Glancing at the two corpses on the ground, these men who had harbored ill intentions and sneaked into his estate died in vain.
Su Changkong prepared two cloth bags, put the corpses inside, and buried them in a secluded corner of the estate. He planned to throw them into the wilderness when he had time to leave the city.
To Su Changkong, this was but a minor episode, as he continued his daily practice of the Five Animal Frolics, Turtle Breath Technique, Iron Cutting Blade Technique, and Blade Nurturing Art-his days were completely filled!
After reaching the Qi-Blood Realm, Su Changkong seemed to have broken certain limitations. The Five Animal Frolics and Turtle Breath Technique, which originally required a certain level of physical strength, both made ’ breakthroughs after a month!
“Roar!”
In the morning, as Su Changkong practiced the Five Animal Frolics, his movements were a combination of dynamics and stillness-sometimes like a fierce tiger bounding through the forests, other times like a bird soaring high into the sky.
Tiger, deer, bear, monkey, bird-the Five Animal Frolics were routines that Su Changkong had practiced countless times already.
At that moment, he brought the Five Animal Frolics to the ultimate level, as if dividing into five separate entities, each form with 54 variations switched according to his will. When still, he was like a Spirit Deer moving silently through the forest; when fierce, like a roaring tiger that could intimidate the woodlands.
Anyone who witnessed Su Changkong’s practice of the Five Animal Frolics would be unconsciously immersed in it and could only exclaim that it was flawless and transcendental! It was a realm that seemingly could not be achieved by humans merely through effort!
Having practiced to the utmost, Su Changkong’s Qi and Blood naturally boiled and sped up its flow, with a faint red mist seeping out of his pores, wrapping around him like a veil.
“I’ve broken through…”
Sweat beaded on Su Changkong’s forehead as he stopped his practice, feeling an unprecedented sense of exhilaration. A slight smile appeared on his lips; the Five Animal Frolics had finally broken through again, advancing to a new realm!
Five Animal Frolics (8th Realm Transcendental 1%)
Su Changkong’s Five Animal Frolics advanced further, entering the transcendental level of the Eighth Realm!
“Five Animal Frolics… transcendental? Perhaps throughout history, among all those who practiced the Five Animal Frolics, very few could reach this step?” Su Changkong also felt a slight pride and a sense of achievement.
Any skill is easy to start but difficult to master, and to bring a skill or martial arts to the transcendental level requires not only hard training but also natural talent. Otherwise, even after decades or centuries of practice, it would be difficult to reach this level!
-The Five Animal Frolics of the Eighth Realm, with all its variations and moves are far too much intricate than before! If I face that Black Lotus Sect Qi-Blood ’ Realm again, even if my Martial Arts Realm is the same as before, with this transcendental Five Animal Frolics, I have a chance to overcome the weak to defeat the strong and kill him!”
Su Changkong was even more confident. Facing someone like Liu Bairen from the Qi-Blood Realm, with the transcendental Five Animal Frolics, he would absolutely be able to kill him without having to scrape through narrowly escaping death, relying on hidden weapons and poison like before for a chance at victory.
“Next up is the Turtle Breath Technique!”
Su Changkong’s Turtle Breath Technique had also reached its bottleneck.
Three nights later, the Turtle Breath Technique followed the Five Animal Frolics and achieved a breakthrough!
On the bed, Su Changkong lay on his back breathing deeply, the Turtle Breathing True Qi within his body darker and reminiscent of a deep blue ocean As he breathed in and out, the True Qi circulated endlessly, as inexhaustible as it was, with some Qi and Blood merging into it, making the Turtle Breathing True Qi circulate faster.
“Boom!”
When it reached its climax, it was as if a giant turtle emerged from the sea, and the waves continued to crash tirelessly against the shore..
