After returning to the Sword Marquis Estate, Chu Qianye produced the blood pill without hesitation.

“Now, there is a Marrow Cleansing Pill. Continue to open the second meridian.”

This was Chu Qianye’s first thought after returning to the manor.

Only by unblocking his meridian channels would his strength increase.

But Chu Qianye was very clear that although he had grown a fair bit during this period of blood ceremony, his physical body wasn’t strong enough.

Hence, before opening the meridian channels, there was a need to absorb the blood pill to solidify it.

He examined a black medicinal pill in his palm.

He spent a lot of money on this Blood Pill. It was one of the most important pills for warriors to refine their bodies.

Chu Qianye observed for a good while and couldn’t help but sigh in admiration. This pill had actually formed five pill patterns and was full of blood energy. Who knew what kind of beast essence blood pill it was refined from?

The quality of a Blood Pill was related to a Barbaric Beast’s essence blood. The higher the cultivation base of the Barbaric Beast, the more berserk the essence blood would be, and the better the tempering effect.

However, pill refinement masters were also very useful. Even the same pill refinement ingredients would be of different quality in the hands of different people.

There was a total of nine grades of pills. Grade one was the lowest and grade nine was the highest. It could also be further divided into patterns and lines. The more lines there were, the more precious it would be.

Hence, this Five-vein Blood Pill was already a level 3 medicinal pill. However, its Pill-Lines were smooth and sleek. It was quite a good medicinal pill.

The thing that pained him the most was that this pill cost him 20,000 gold coins. This was a gold coin that he earned from two days of fighting, not through a storm.

This strengthened his determination to learn how to refine elixirs.

“Let’s begin with this Blood Core.”

Chu Qianye thought to himself.

Boom!

A wild and violent aura instantly exploded within his body the moment the medicinal pill entered his mouth. That kind of frightening Three Thousand Lightning Movement shocked Chu Qianye until his head turned numb.

The blood pill dissolved and an astonishing strength ripped through his tendons, twisting them into a ball.

Thick blood Qi pervaded his body, and a painful expression appeared on his face.

Even so, Chu Qianye clenched his teeth, crossed his hands, and performed a special hand seal in front of his chest. His breathing was steady.

The ridicule he had suffered during these five years allowed him to understand how important strength was on the Mystical Mystic Qi, so this little bit of pain was nothing at all.

An enormous tempest was formed in Chu Qianye’s body, tearing apart his tendons and veins wherever it passed.

“I’m finished. Am I going to die?”

Feeling his muscles and veins shatter, Chu Qianye felt a wave of powerlessness wash over him. He had awakened his Martial Soul with great difficulty and possessed the ability to turn the tables on him. Who would’ve thought that he’d end up with nothing in the blink of an eye?

"No!"

Chu Qianye roared furiously, but he still couldn’t stop the tearing.

The silhouette of the holy sword suddenly flickered with golden light as a gentle cooling sensation spread across his entire body.

His expression was one of shock, and his eyes shone with joy.

Under this gentle force, the tearing sensation slowly subsided, and it also gradually recovered at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Chi! Chi!"

As he did, golden light started to circulate inside of him.

A week later, the shattered meridians had almost recovered. By the second week, Chu Qianye was astonished to find that there was a golden aura flowing around the shattered meridians.

“This is...”

Chu Qianye was astonished because the color of these golden lights was exactly the same as his holy sword Martial Soul, and their auras were compatible.

The Blood Pill gradually became gentle under the lingering golden light.

As time passed, Chu Qianye’s tendons began to absorb blood energy.

After a day of tempering, Chu Qianye’s eyes snapped open, and the corners of his mouth curled into a smile.

Earlier, when he recklessly swallowed the Blood Pill, he thought he had a slim chance of surviving, but he ended up profiting from a disaster, absorbing his Martial Soul’s energy and obtaining the Blood Pill’s tempering.

Right now, both his physical body and meridians had become very strong. Taking two more Blood Pills would not be a problem.

“We can now open the second meridian channel.”

With a thought, he took out the Marrow Cleansing Liquid from his Universe Ring and swallowed it. Almost without any pain or difficulty, Chu Qianye successfully opened his second meridian.

Clenching his fists tightly and sensing the flowing Mystic Qi in his body, Chu Qianye smiled lightly. If he were to meet Ning Yifan again, he would definitely be able to easily resist his aura.

He waved his fist and suddenly threw it forward.

Bang!

The terrifying fist was like a fierce dragon coming out of the sea, and wherever the force passed, the void distorted.

“The strength of three cauldrons!”

Chu Qianye was astonished. Presently, he was only at second level Yellow Realm, and ordinary people only possessed the strength of two ding at most. According to this speed and after consuming some blood pills to refine, his strength would probably increase to the enormous strength of four.

The current him would be able to put up a fight even if he were to encounter a Third Order Yellow Realm Beast!

Chu Qianye stretched lazily and shook his head lightly as he gazed at the run-down courtyard.

“It won’t be long before I have my own courtyard!”

There was a flash of light in his eyes.

In the Sword Marquis Estate, every genius had their own independent courtyard, and there were spiritual energy gathering formations arranged around them with abundant Qi. This was also the dream of many people in the Sword Marquis Estate.

It was time to collect the spiritual herbs.

Chu Qianye gazed at the blue sky and said with a smile, “Although I already have pills, it’ll be a waste if I don’t take the cultivation medicines gifted to me by the Sword Marquis Estate.”

With light steps, he slowly walked towards the direction of the Herb Hall.

At the end of every month, the spirit grass in the Sword Marquis Estate would be distributed early next month, which was why there were many Sword Marquis Estate disciples gathered at the Herb Hall.

Chu Qianye arrived at the Herb Hall and lined up with the group.

After waiting with great difficulty, just as he was preparing to collect the Spiritual Grass, a hand suddenly caught him and a cold laugh rang out.

“Oh? Isn’t this the outer court genius of the Sword Marquis Estate, Chu Qianye? Since when do geniuses need to rely on this little bit of Spirit Grass to cultivate?”

This sentence attracted everyone's attention.

“So he’s the outer court genius, Chu Qianye.”

“Heh heh, I can only say that it was in the past, but is now ruined.”

“Last time at the Martial Arts Pavilion, he was almost crushed to death by Ning Yifan’s imposing aura. If Wenren Muyue hadn’t come out to persuade him, he would probably be dead by now.”

“Ha-ha, Genius Change Into Trash.”

...

"Let go."

Chu Qianye’s eyes were black and bright as he spoke emotionlessly.

“This kid is dead for sure. Last year, when Xu Zhen entered the inner residence, he received Master Liu’s guidance, and his strength increased at an amazing speed.”

“Even if he doesn’t say anything, Xu Zhen will not let him get away with it. After all, he injured Xu Can. As his older cousin, he will naturally not sit and watch without doing anything.”

Chu Qianye recognized this person. After all, he had suppressed the other party before.

"Ha, what can you do if I don't let go? You are no longer the number one figure in the outer palace. Don't put on airs in front of me." Xu Zhen says with a cold laugh. "Although Xu Can is crippled like you, he is still my younger brother after all. Even if you cut off one of his arms, I'll break one of yours today."

Chu Qianye’s eyes became sharp.

"I'm giving you a chance. If you can withstand three moves of mine, I'll give you this spiritual herb. But if you lose, you'll have to hand in the spiritual herb every month in the future, and when you see me bark like a dog, do you dare?"

At this moment, everyone was staring at Chu Qianye, waiting for his answer.

This was an extremely difficult choice to make. If Chu Qianye were to admit defeat, then not only would he not have any cultivation materials in the future, he would also suffer great humiliation. However, if Chu Qianye accepted the challenge, then Xu Zhen could openly teach Chu Qianye a lesson.

As such, Chu Qianye had fallen into desperate straits no matter what.

This was like putting his face on Ye Zichen’s.

Chu Qianye’s shiny black eyes couldn’t help but squint slightly.

“Why wouldn’t I dare?”
