he only had a lead for now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was mainly due to the lack of relevant knowledge as a starting point.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>PS: New book uploaded, seeking collections, flowers, and ratings!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>As for Su Xuan himself, after nine months of effort, he had broken through realm after realm, and his martial arts cultivation had surpassed Wen Pin, reaching the peak of the Transformation Realm in one go.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was not far from breaking through to the Dan Jin Realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was terrifyingly fast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no help for it; with no bottlenecks, plus the 'Six Storehouses Swallowing Heaven Technique' accelerating the cheating, it was just that terrifying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And this was the result of him working hard to solidify his foundation and also practicing the Human Immortal martial arts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Human Immortal martial arts was a body-refining cultivation method Su Xuan had created five months ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Based on fragments of external body-refining techniques, after long-term observation and analysis of the strengthening effects of Qi and blood on cells, meridians, bone marrow, blood, etc., you understood their essence and laws, and combined with inspiration from your past life's memories, you deduced and created the 'Qi and Blood Martial Arts: Human Immortal Martial Arts'.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(Human Immortal martial arts realm division: Strength Refining Realm, Tendon Changing Realm, Skin Refining Realm, Bone Forging Realm, Organ Refining Realm, Marrow Washing Realm, Blood Changing Realm, Human Immortal Realm.)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entire process of Human Immortal martial arts is to consume Qi and blood to temper the whole body one by one, tempering it to one's own limit, and finally breaking through the limit to reach the Human Immortal Realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This process consumes an extreme amount of Qi and blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it can continuously and gradually strengthen a person's muscles, tendons, bones, skin, internal organs, bone marrow, blood, etc.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this process, vitality, strength, defense, reaction speed, recovery ability, etc., will all increase with the improvement of the realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xuan spent five months, consuming a portion of the Qi and blood converted from food every day, just to barely cross the Strength Refining Realm and enter the Tendon Changing Realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To a certain extent, this dragged down the progress of his internal strength martial arts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the benefits were also huge. After completing the Strength Refining and tempering a small portion of his meridians, his strength surged by 2,000 jin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With other conditions being equal, his combat power was at least comparable to the middle or even late stage of the Dan Jin Realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And with Su Xuan's comprehension of martial arts and combat experience, which far exceeded so-called martial artists of the same level, relying on his peak Transformation Realm + Tendon Changing Realm cultivation, he could even suppress those at the peak of the Dan Jin Realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could even trade blows with those at the early stage of the Gang Jin Realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mhm!
