He felt that his breathing was much smoother than before, and he was more sensitive to the smell of medicine in the apothecary.

'This wisp of Qi is too thin now. The efficiency is too low.'

"As the number of levels increases, this wisp of Qi should gradually increase in size." Yang Chen pinched his fingers. At this rate, he would only need ten days to become a martial artist that everyone envied.

After dawn, Master Liu Changyue, Senior Brother, and the rest dispersed.

Yang Chen began to follow the routine, cultivating on the rockery in the backyard at seven o'clock every day and going to the apothecary to gain experience. During the day, he would go back and forth between the main hall and the backyard to buy and sell medicinal herbs.

On the first day of each month, Yang Chen would take half a pound of his meat and cook a small barbecue in the courtyard. Now that he had become an internal affairs apprentice, he could eat his fill for every meal even though there was not much oil in his three meals a day.

In addition, there were not many entertainment activities in ancient times. With five hundred wen a month, Yang Chen could only spend a few dozen wen for snacks at most, and the rest was impossible to spend.

Because his senior brothers' cultivation level wasn't low, Yang Chen was able to pick up a lot of experience every time.

The Qi Cultivation skill's experience bar only increased by 100 points each time. Therefore, he quickly rose in level, reaching the two heavens, three heavens, and four heavens.

In a short two months, Yang Chen's Qi-Nurturing Technique had already reached the tenth level.

Yang Chen sat cross-legged on a fake mountain. The morning sun shone down, and it was as if holy light had descended upon the world. The clear sky gathered around him, and the Qi and blood in his entire body began to boil.

His entire body was red, and his Qi and blood began to transform under the light, like a silkworm chrysalis turning into a butterfly. Yang Chen was in high spirits.

"Martial artists, ah, ah," Yang Chen said, hot air coming out of his mouth and nose.

"Although there's not much change in my physique, my body has obviously become much lighter." Yang Chen tried to punch from the backyard.

The sharp sound of the wind accompanied his fists, and his strength was no longer the same.

He lifted the big rock he was sitting on and was as relaxed as his second brother, Gao Ruyang.

"I've finally broken through." Yang Chen's heart stirred as he looked at his personal panel.

Name: Yang Chen

[ Cultivation Method ]: [ Qi Nurturing Technique (Level 10, 4/1000) ]

[ Skill: Alchemy (Intermediate, 296/400) ]

[ Stage ]: Level 1 Blood Refinement Realm

"It seems like the experience increase from the Qi Cultivation Technique has stopped."

Yang Chen looked at his Qi Cultivation experience bar, which had stopped increasing, and he was delighted.

He felt the Qi in his body. It had changed from a wisp two months ago to a 'white snake' swimming in his body. When it was 'fine', it would coil around his dantian.

Yang Chen could control the white snake to devour the residue of the food they ate every day, as well as the impurities that were produced for no reason.

This was the profoundness of the Qi Cultivation Technique.

"If I were to cultivate the Qi Strengthening Technique to the 30th or 50th level, how strong would this 'white snake' be? Will my body really be able to hold it then?"

"It's a pity that ever since alchemy was upgraded to beginner level, the experience that can be obtained from prescriptions has been very little." Yang Chen frowned.

It was probably because the apprentices' alchemy skills were too poor and could not provide the experience needed to level up to intermediate level.

Yang Chen was also relieved. In any case, beginner-level medicinal skills were enough for him. It was not a problem for him to take care of small disasters and illnesses every day and prescribe medicine for himself.

In the past two months, Yang Chen had also tested it when he was collecting the experience balls. Gao Cheng, who had entered the door with him and had a better relationship with him, had given much more experience than the others.

The scores of the senior and junior brothers who had not interacted much with each other were very average. However, there was a person called Gu Erwa, whose experience points had been low for a long time.

Although he didn't know what the problem was, this guy probably didn't like him very much.

"This kind of life is really good, stable, and leisurely." Yang Chen muttered to himself. He lifted the big rock he was sitting on and felt the power surging in his body.

"Huai'er has broken through the realm?!" Liu Changyue suddenly walked up from behind and saw Yang Chen casually lifting a big stone.

"Master!" Yang Chen quickly put down the stone.

"No need to be so polite, no need to be so polite!" Liu Changyue was excited and not as elegant as he usually was.

"I was just lucky. As I practiced, I felt like I was transforming," Yang Chen was honest.

"Hehe, stop pretending with your master. Every time you reach a higher level in your Qi-Nurturing Technique, the 'white snake' in your body will grow stronger. It's impossible that you didn't notice it." Liu Changyue smiled and shook his head.

'He became a martial artist in two months, a martial arts genius. Unfortunately… Hehe… '

"Is there something wrong?" Yang Chen asked.

Liu Changyue's expression was desolate as he explained, "It's a pity that the cultivation technique is only an incomplete technique. Ordinary techniques can break through a realm after every ten levels, but the cultivation technique can only be cultivated to the first level of blood refinement. After that, no matter how profound your cultivation technique is, it will be useless even if you cultivate it to the thirtieth level."

Realization dawned on Yang Chen. No wonder the experience bar for the eleventh level did not increase after he had reached the tenth level of his Qi-Nurturing Technique.

    Bai You nodded. "It's also a kind of memorization. However, according to Miss, this token should allow you to enter the dojo directly and become an apprentice. After all, you're in the limelight now. I'll get a good impression of you if I accept you. But the test of innate ability, talent, and vitality strength should be an indispensable test."After lunch, Yang Chen was quietly taken to a corner by the beautiful woman, Yu Xin."Madam, I can't do this!" Yang Chen was stunned as he looked at the silver notes that Yu Xin stuffed into his hands.It was a total of two hundred taels. Even if he was a second-refinement martial artist now, it would still take a long time to return the money."If there's a problem in the small test, give 200 taels to the main examiner, and you'll probably pass." Yu Xin wanted to provide Yang Chen with a layer of insurance."I don't even know how to repay such a great favor." Yang Chen felt that it made sense, so he didn't reject the money.Yu Xin smiled, but

    He thrust the spear into the pig demon's head again, and red and white matter flew everywhere."I've underestimated the tenacity of a pig demon," Reihom murmured. He carried the gun in one hand and the demon pig's corpse on his shoulder with the other. He went downstairs and left.Yang Chen, who was in the crowd, suddenly couldn't take his eyes off it. He saw a green experience ball on the ground.His heart moved slightly as he put away the green experience orb."Ding! You have collected a [Thunderflash Skill Essence (Green)], [Thunderflash Skill] Experience +100!"In his mind, there seemed to be a flash of stone stakes and the sound of thunder. His wrist was also slightly sore.After a year of Yang Chen's tests, the maximum distance for the experience ball to appear should be within 20 meters. Apart from that, each person could only get one experience ball per day.It was only today that Yang Chen realized that he could actually get experience balls by watching others fight. Of cours

    "He's the most talented young man in the current generation of the Thunderbolt Dojo. It's such a coincidence that he did the same thing as Senior Brother when he was fifteen years old."It's just that Reihom left the city from the south gate and killed his way out for 30 kilometers. All the mountain bandit gangs along the way were wiped out by him. About a thousand people, I guess. I heard from my father that the road outside the south gate was filled with vultures and hyenas for seven days."Senior Brother, let's go and take a look." Luo Ya's face was filled with anticipation."Alright." Yang Chen nodded. He also wanted to see what the number one person among the younger generation of the Thunderbolt Dojo, which was the top of the eight major martial arts centers, looked like.The two of them wanted to squeeze through the city gate, but they couldn't squeeze into the sea of people.Luo Ya pulled Yang Chen and ran out. She turned around and ran to a small restaurant near the city gate

  • Chapter 22 Choosing a Path

    Yang Chen didn't know much about the eight major martial arts centers. He only knew that an ordinary family of three would only have one tael of silver for their monthly living expenses.In fact, Yang Chen's days as Liu Changyue's disciple in the apothecary were already quite good. However, compared to the 50 silver registration fee, it was still a huge loss.Liu Changyue had mentioned it to him before. The rest of the disciples were the descendants of wealthy merchants, dignitaries, and landlords in Pingnan City and the nearby villages.Moreover, the eight major martial arts centers were not in Pingnan City. They were building their own residences outside the city."Huai'er, this is your master's congratulatory gift." Liu Changyue squeezed through the crowd and took out a hundred taels of silver. "I know I was wrong. I only made this decision as a last resort because of the apothecary. I don't expect you to return to us, but I hope that you can return home often on account of the mas

    The poor man, who had no time to care, also had a happy expression on his face.One of the butchers slammed his knife on the chopping board, his saliva flying everywhere. "If the Blackhawk Gang dares to put up a bounty for me, I'll dare to charge up the mountain alone! This is called blood!""Then what's an outstanding person?! It's a fifteen-year-old who went to Ghost Slope Mountain alone to slaughter the Blackhawk Gang! This is called a hero!""Compared to Yang Chen, those proud sons of heaven from the eight major martial arts centers are not even worth mentioning.""Don't think that Yang Chen's current strength and state are inferior to those so-called proud sons of heaven. He'll be a waste of time in ten years. You'll notice it after five years.""Yang Chen is definitely better than the eight major martial arts centers!""It's not because of talent, it's just because of Yang Chen's courage.""Good! Well said!" The commoners squatted at the entrance of the meat shop, and thunderous

  • Chapter 20 A Hero's Welcome

    Yang Chen experienced the changes in his body. It was many times more effective than the Qi and blood soup.He glanced at the breath control technique and saw that his experience was at level 10 (501/1000).Yang Chen then wrapped a pile of silver and tied it to his body. He even broke off two roasted pork legs to fill his stomach."Too bad I can't take all this food with me." Yang Chen looked at the feast longingly, then immediately went down the mountain under the cover of night....Yang Chen had just descended the mountain when two men in leather shirts climbed up the other side.The men smelled the blood and found the bodies of the gang members."Looks like there was another fight.""Your method is really good. You only used breath control as bait, and we didn't need to do it ourselves. We only needed to wait for the right time to pick up so much blood food.""I've avoided the risk of being exposed."If someone was there, they would have noticed that the two men seemed to have lon
