If delayed, the meridians will completely solidify, blocking the path to becoming a Martial Artist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s no big deal.\" Zhou Yang nonchalantly waved his hand, \"As a Senior Brother, isn’t it my duty to guide Junior Sister?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His eyes burned as he gazed at Jia Hong: \"No need for a meal, I can’t let Junior Sister spend lavishly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’ve heard that the camellias on Qingfeng Mountain have bloomed in the past two days, and I wonder if Junior Sister would grace us with your presence for a visit?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jia Hong hesitated upon hearing this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ahem!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, there was a cough behind them, and Huang Longgang walked in from outside, his face somewhat gloomy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Junior Sister, we’ll talk tomorrow then.\" Zhou Yang glanced at Huang Longgang without greeting him, and walked off towards the other side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just came, Longgang.\" Jia Hong, unfazed, smiled at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you have feelings for Zhou Yang?\" Huang Longgang coldly laughed, \"Well, he’s already a Circulation Martial Artist, much more talented than me, and I’m nothing but a good-for-nothing wastrel!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why does Longgang think so little of me?\" Jia Hong looked hurt, \"For some time now, I couldn’t grasp the Breathing Technique, couldn’t sleep or eat peacefully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I asked you for help, and you couldn’t assist me, so I had no choice but to humbly ask Senior Brother Zhou. Do you think I wanted to...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this, Huang Longgang was a bit embarrassed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, he hadn’t yet mastered the Breathing Technique himself, so how could he teach Jia Hong?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Jia Hong’s eyes brimming with tears, he became flustered and hurriedly went to comfort her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hongmei, don’t worry, I’ve asked my father for plenty of Purifying God Incense, it will surely help you master it soon!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not far from them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lou Yi, with exceptional senses, watched this melodrama completely unfold, shaking his head silently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huang Longgang was completely under Jia Hong’s thumb.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately, he couldn’t escape being the ultimate tool, the sycophant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He activated his Breathing Technique on the spot, throwing punches and kicks, his chest rising and falling rhythmically, like accompaniments to a main melody, each complementing the other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, a warm current emerged from his left sole, circulating upwards through his chest and abdomen, swirling for a few moments before swiftly rushing down to the right sole.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the warm current coursed through him, his entire meridians and muscles felt warm, as if being tempered like steel, becoming more solid and strong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And every time the warm current completed a circuit, the next would be slightly more robust.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once it becomes robust enough, the energy will undergo a qualitative change, forming potent Secret Blood. At that point, it can be attempted to use Secret Blood to break through Xuan Gate and become a Martial Artist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After practicing for half an hour, Lou Yi felt a swelling in his meridians, knowing that was enough training for the day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the Attribute Panel, the progress of the prospective Martial Artist was +2.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the introductory level of the Breathing Technique, training for half an hour daily adds progress of +2.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To break through faster, proficiency in the Breathing Technique must be increased.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lou Yi looked at his friend Zhan Weida opposite him, who was frowning, sighing while practicing punches.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What’s wrong, haven’t grasped it yet?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The methods you taught me, the ones Uncle Pan taught, I’ve tried them all, no use!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’m dumb, what can I do? If it doesn’t work, I’ll just take an Elixir for a forced breakthrough!\" Zhan Weida said a bit despondently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What kind of Elixir, so powerful?\" Lou Yi was surprised; this area was his knowledge blind spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What else but the Blood-Rushing Pill,\" Zhan Weida said, and explained the related knowledge to Lou Yi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The so-called ’Blood-Rushing Pill,’ as the name implies, upon consumption, causes the Blood Qi to surge naturally, strengthening the body, and in the process forcibly realizing the Breathing Technique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It is essentially getting the result first, then reverse-engineering the process, much easier than deducing the result from the process.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, the side effects are quite pronounced.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>First, consuming the Blood-Rushing Pill means that even if someone breaks through to Martial Artist later, their combat power will be at the bottom of their tier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Secondly, every subsequent level would require continued medication for breakthroughs, forever remaining a pill test subject.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t rush, let me help you check.\" Lou Yi still valued his friendship with Zhan Weida and hoped he wouldn’t take the wrong path.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some dozen feet away, Jin Feng was watching with envy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had neither Jia Hong’s beauty and intelligence, nor the prestigious family backgrounds of Zhan Weida or Huang Longgang, nor such a close friend as Lou Yi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this thought, Jin Feng couldn’t help but feel a twinge of regret.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back when Lou Yi was being targeted by Zhan Weida, he really shouldn’t have behaved so opportunistically, causing him to lose a friend.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Sigh, I’ll just have to figure it all out on my own.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this thought, a trace of sorrow appeared on Jin Feng’s dark, honest face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhihai Tower, located on the most bustling street in southern Tai City, features many famous dishes like ’Fish Head Soup,’ ’Stir-fried Beef,’ and ’Braised Lion’s Head,’ boasting considerable competitiveness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The building layout is divided into two floors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first floor is open to the public, spacious and bright, without partitions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside, there are thirty to forty square tables and long benches, with guests sitting about five feet apart, their loud laughter and conversations clearly audible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The second floor comprises private rooms, with landscape paintings hanging inside and orchids placed in the corners.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking down from the carved window, the street view is completely within sight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the moment, in one such private room, there are a table full of signature dishes like Lion’s Head, beef, river shrimp, and a jar of fine Daughter Red wine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Four young men in red clothes sat on each side of the square table, engaged in enthusiastic conversation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the bench beside them, each person had a black sword, twice the width of a usual sword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Junior Brother Qi, the Lion’s Head at Zhihai Tower is exceptional, fatty yet not greasy, with a great texture, you must try it!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you, Senior Brother Han, I’ll give it a try... indeed delicious, the juice is fresh and tender... I’m from a small place, forgive my provincial manners.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah, no such thing as a small place, heroes never ask for their origin!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Junior Brother Qi, having just broken through Xuan Gate at fifteen, in the future we might have to rely on you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Indeed, Junior Brother Qi, when you become a Martial Artist, do remember to help us!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You flatter me, Senior Brothers.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The one called ’Junior Brother Qi’ had a red cloak, a black belt with gold lining at the waist, wore deerskin boots, and had fair features with rosy lips and white teeth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, his eyes always carried an unresolved gloom, as if there’s a backstory to his past.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking of the letter from his hometown, the Qi-named youth couldn’t help feeling blocked in his heart, his hatred growing uncontrollably, so he drank continuously to numb himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His somewhat blurred gaze involuntarily swept down at the busy street below.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>People were bustling about, men and women, old and young.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, the Qi-named youth’s eyes focused, his pupils expanding sharply!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the crowd, he spotted a young man dressed in yellow, over six feet tall, with thick eyebrows and an air of heroism on his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could this countenance be forgotten, having appeared countless times in his dreams recently!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lou Yi!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Qi-named youth shouted, leaping out of the window without thinking, descending from the sky!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What’s going on?\" His tablemates looked puzzled and worried for their little brother’s safety, rushing downstairs to check.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the broad and busy street, the Qi-named youth ran around frantically, looking for the one who had just caused him to lose his composure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Where is he, where is he!\" The Qi-named youth roared in unwillingness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Did I see wrong?\" He murmured to himself, lowering his head, \"No, impossible!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He abruptly raised his head, his eyes bloodshot, filled with hatred, causing a chill to everyone who saw him: \"It’s him!
