Chapter 220: Chapter 105: Qi and Blood Six Transformations! Sixth Realm Giant Whale Technique!_3
Su Changkong tried it out, and he was able to refine 3 to 4 Qi-Blood Pills a day! That’s 100 pills in a month!
“This is really like spending money like water.”
Even Su Changkong couldn’t help but sigh.
Ordinary martial artists, even those from prestigious and powerful families, couldn’t afford to consume such a massive amount of Qi-Blood Pills like Su Changkong. Instead, they would take lower-grade pill medicines, or practice certain blood-nourishing techniques, to gradually strengthen their Qi and blood in a less costly manner, taking years to complete one cycle of blood refining!
If they encountered a barrier or bottleneck, it wouldn’t be unusual to be stuck for a decade, or even several decades.
Take Meng Sang or even Li Hun, the Ninth Grand Thief, for example—both high in status and rich in assets, yet they remained stuck at the barrier between the Qi Blood Six Transformation and the Qi Blood Seven Transformation, highlighting how difficult it was to break through.
Of course, this is the gap between geniuses and ordinary martial artists. Many genius martial artists break through barriers once or twice successfully, achieving the most significant progress with the least resources!
Su Changkong led a rather peaceful and fulfilling life.
Every day, he started the pill furnace for alchemy, refining four to five batches of Qi-Blood Pills, enough to supply his own consumption!
With Su Changkong’s alchemy skills, he gradually became proficient in the method of refining Qi-Blood Pills, and his success rate also increased.
Su Changkong refined five batches of Qi-Blood Pills every day, with an average success rate of about 10 pills, meaning about two pills per batch, which was rather high!
With an ample supply of Qi-Blood Pills, he spent money like water every day, and this led to an incredibly rapid growth of Su Changkong’s Qi and blood!
In just two months, Su Changkong underwent a Qi blood metamorphosis and completed a blood refining, reaching the level of Qi Blood Five Transformation.
As for the cost, it was a full 200 Qi-Blood Pills, which translated into a total of 300,000 taels of silver spent on alchemy!
This was still with Su Changkong succeeding in breaking through on his first attempt; if the Qi Blood Metamorphosis had failed for others, it would result in damage to their Qi and blood, leading to regression instead of progress.
Su Changkong was thoroughly satisfied, refining Qi-Blood Pills and practicing martial arts every day, making progress almost daily—nothing could be happier than this!
Time flew by, and it had been nearly half a year since the battle of the Blue Rain Sea, and thanks to the overwhelming victory over the Sea Pirate Alliance, the Giant Whale Gang saw particularly smooth development during this half-year period!
Another winter arrived, and Su Changkong had turned nineteen years old.
“Huff puff!”
In the cold winter, within the quiet residence, Su Changkong was sitting cross-legged, practicing his breathing. He was like a giant whale; with each breath, a hurricane roared through the room, as if a storm was brewing at sea, quite astonishing.
His body surged with Qi and blood incessantly, like billowing smoke swirling around the room.
“Crack crack crack!”
Within Su Changkong’s body, Qi and blood rushed furiously, causing his muscles and bones to tremble. This further enhanced his already powerful Qi and blood, refining his entire body and rapidly increasing the strength of his physique.
“I’ve reached the Qi Blood Six Transformation… My Giant Whale Skill has finally entered the sixth level!”
After a while, everything calmed down. Su Changkong opened his eyes and let out a breath, a smile appearing on his face.
In nearly half a year, Su Changkong had spent a total of 750,000 taels of silver, which was due to the increased proficiency in his alchemy skills and the rising success rate of refining Qi-Blood Pills. Otherwise, to advance to the Qi Blood Six Transformation, Su Changkong felt he would need to spend the equivalent of 900,000 to 1 million taels of silver on Qi-Blood Pills.
In six months, completing two Qi Blood Metamorphoses and succeeding in breaking through on the first attempt each time was undoubtedly a rate of progress that others could hardly imagine!
Having reached the Qi Blood Six Transformation, Su Changkong’s physique had grown significantly, and both his strength and speed were more than a notch better than when he was at the Qi Blood Four Transformation. The fundamental purpose of refining Qi and blood is to push the body beyond its limits and continue to grow and transform!
Beyond that, Su Changkong had made the greatest progress in the Whale Technique and the Wind Thunder Archery.
Wind Thunder Archery (7th Level, Profound Mastery 3%)
Thanks to Su Changkong’s high potential value of 30 points, the Wind Thunder Archery had crossed two levels in a short half-year, reaching the 7th level!
The 7th level Wind Thunder Archery had already surpassed Sikong Huang, who had taught him the technique!
Arrows like the howl of the wind, arrows like the rumble of thunder, the union of wind and thunder, Wind Thunder Linked Beads.
Su Changkong could now perform Wind Thunder Linked Beads, shooting arrows one after the other, each one precisely piercing the target without losing any power. To put it simply, he had progressed from single-shot to rapid-fire!
The power of each arrow in the 7th level Wind Thunder Archery, combined with Su Changkong’s robust True Qi, was even more powerful than that of the Divine Arm Crossbow, and it could rapid-fire—it was terrifying!
As long as he maintained a distance, Su Changkong could easily shoot down experts at the level of Tie Jinggang merely with his archery!
Additionally, there was significant progress in the Giant Whale Skill. The Giant Whale Skill progressed rapidly by consuming and refining various foods and top-grade Pill Medicines.
Giant Whale Skill (6th Level, Reach the Pinnacle 2%)
The Giant Whale Skill had reached the 6th level!
The strength of various cultivation techniques differs according to their characteristics.
For instance, Su Changkong’s Turtle Breath Technique focuses on health maintenance and is not suited for combat. The reason the Turtle-breath Function is so strong is solely because he had practiced the Turtle Breath Technique to the unparalleled 9th level, not because the technique itself is powerful!
This is an overwhelming advantage in terms of level.
Compared to the Turtle Breath Technique, the Giant Whale Skill, although it also induces a metamorphosis of the physique, seems lackluster in comparison.
However, in reality, the strength of the Giant Whale Skill is superior to that of the Turtle Breath Technique, at least in terms of combat power! At the same level, the Giant Whale Skill can overpower the Turtle Breath Technique!
