Chapter 61

The metal box opened slowly, accompanied by a fresh fragrance, and inside were bottles and jars with two different types of packaging.

They were embedded in special material. Lin Qi reached out and took out a jar-like object; it was contained in a transparent container, inside of which was a reddish-brown viscous paste.

A black and white QR code was printed on the bottle wall.

"Beep!"

Lin Qi took out his phone and scanned it; the page jumped to a webpage, and text and images appeared, which was the manual.

Lin Qi read it carefully from beginning to end, even watching the video, and understood it a moment later.

【Red Blood Ointment】

【Effect: Apply it to every corner of the body to stimulate body muscles and enhance the effect of tempering Qi and blood; it can be used in combination with other agents.】

Lin Qi nodded; this was a resource produced by the Chiqiong Martial Arts Mansion, usually applied to all parts of the body before training to stimulate body muscles and vital energy and blood, accelerating the tempering effect.

At first, once a day; after a while, it can be applied several times a day.

Lin Qi took out his phone again and searched for Red Blood Ointment on the internet, quickly seeing the price.

【Item: Red Blood Ointment】

【Price: 50,000 yuan Xia Guo currency/jar】

"Hiss~"

After seeing the price, Lin Qi had only one feeling:

"Expensive!"

He thought the energy agent was expensive enough, but he didn't expect the price of this Red Blood Ointment to be ten times that.

And in the metal box, there were four jars of Red Blood Ointment, worth 200,000 yuan Xia Guo currency.

Then he looked at the other type of agent.

This was quite similar to the energy agent, with only one tube, containing a crystal-clear deep blue liquid.

Lin Qi scanned the QR code again and quickly had the result.

【Item: Blue Marrow Agent】

【Effect: Contains a large amount of source energy; soak and absorb in water to significantly increase Qi and blood value.】

【Price: 200,000 yuan Xia Guo currency/bottle】

"Phew~"

Lin Qi exhaled; this Blue Marrow Agent was even more expensive than the Red Blood Ointment, four times as expensive, actually worth 200,000 per bottle!

This was equivalent to a third-tier genius loan, just for this tiny bottle of agent!

In the past, his family couldn't spend 200,000 yuan in several months, but now one bottle of agent cost 200,000 yuan.

Practicing martial arts really consumes too much money.

Without the contract, he couldn't afford this kind of agent at all.

Today could be considered a small shock to him.

These resources were ridiculously expensive, which he couldn't have imagined before.

Moreover, this Blue Marrow Agent was in a state of short supply in the martial arts supermarket, and every time it was listed, it would be sold out instantly.

Buying it from other places was even more expensive, possibly needing 250,000 or 260,000.

Only geniuses with a B-level contract or above could possess it; this was the benefit of having a background.

Lin Qi looked at the four jars and one tube in the metal box, which were worth 400,000 yuan.

It was enough to buy a decent new energy vehicle, which was the expenditure of an ordinary family for four or five years.

And this was just the first batch; according to the contract, a new batch of resources would be delivered every once in a while.

The purpose was to ensure the safety of the resources.

Lin Qi put the items away and placed the metal box in the cabinet.

"There is still a week until the midterm assessment; this batch of resources came at just the right time and can help my Qi and blood value improve by another large margin."

Evening, Chiqiong Martial Arts Mansion

Room B123, Lin Qi's independent martial arts room

Lin Qi changed into his martial arts uniform and took out the Red Blood Ointment from his backpack.

"Let's try the effect today!"

After saying that, he opened the cap, and a rich, spicy fragrance was emitted, even smelling a bit like roasted meat.

Lin Qi scooped out a little and applied it evenly to every corner of his body.

After applying it all over his body, he clearly felt his whole body heating up.

"Phew~"

Taking a deep breath, he began to stand in the Primordial Origin stance; as soon as he adjusted his breathing and entered the state, his body became increasingly hot.

"So hot!"

Lin Qi frowned; his body was getting hotter and hotter, and it soon exceeded a certain limit, turning into pain.

His skin burned with pain, his body was scorching, as if he were being burned by fire, erupting with massive heat.

"Ah~" Lin Qi gritted his teeth and frowned; the intense burning sensation enveloped his whole body, which was exceptionally painful.

It made him feel the pain of being burned by fire, and his body temperature kept rising.

It made one want to give up and have the thought of throwing oneself into an ice cave.

"I can't give up; the manual said that the effect of each application of ointment lasts for one hour; if I give up, it will be in vain."

Lin Qi endured the pain and devoted himself entirely to the stance.

Sweat kept dripping from his forehead, his body kept emitting white steam, and his whole body was bright red, like a steamed red shrimp.

"Phew~"

Lin Qi endured bitterly; his body was like it was being burned by fire; not many people could persist the first time they used it.

But he was different; he possessed astonishing willpower and had experienced several template transformations, having long ago forged a steel-like will.

Amidst the pain, he could feel his body muscles being exceptionally active, as if a person were standing on scorching ground, burning their feet, and having no choice but to be active.

!

Qi and blood surged into every corner of his body, the scorching heat penetrated his skin, darted into his body muscles, and frantically tempered them.

Muscle cells moved violently, and Lin Qi felt as if his Qi and blood were also constantly transforming.

【You used "Red Blood Ointment"; while standing in the stance, your Qi and blood improved, Qi and blood value +0.01】

【While standing in the stance, your Qi and blood improved, Qi and blood value +0.01】

【......, Qi and blood value +0.01】

Lin Qi felt the pain, his body muscles kept getting stronger, his chest heaved, and his Qi and blood value kept increasing.

One hour later

"Master, one hour has passed!"

Xiao Chan, wearing blue clothes, projected automatically and began to remind Lin Qi.

"Phew~"

Lin Qi sat on the ground with a thud, his bottom was wet, the surrounding area was already soaked, turning into a small puddle, and the burning sensation on his body was also subsiding.

He looked at the data panel; the Qi and blood value had changed.

【You used "Red Blood Ointment" for the first time; the effect is significant, Qi and blood value +0.05】

【Qi and blood value: 9.0→9.05】

Lin Qi looked at the Qi and blood value data, a smile appearing on his exhausted face.

"It's worthy of being an ointment worth 50,000; the first time I used it, the effect was very good; in a few days, my Qi and blood value will be able to break through 9.1."

"Taozi said that from 9.0 to breaking through to the First Realm, during this period, everyone's progress speed will slow down."

"Unless better resources are used, and for me, the current Red Blood Ointment is a better resource; my progress speed will still be very fast."

Lin Qi thought to himself and slowly sat up.

He picked up the functional beverage from the side and drank it deeply, looking at the puddle of sweat on the ground.

Recalling the pain just now in his mind, it really wasn't something an ordinary person could endure.

"The manual said there is a resource called Cooling Agent, which can significantly reduce the burning pain when using Red Blood Ointment."

"But I just checked, one bottle of Cooling Agent actually costs 5,000 yuan, the same price as the energy agent."

"And although it will reduce the pain, it also has side effects; the effect of the Red Blood Ointment will also be reduced a little."

"Whether it's 5,000 yuan or the reduced effect, it's an unacceptable result for me."

"So I would rather continue to suffer; this can also temper my willpower."

"The world's number one master, Chi Di, once said: Only a steel-like will can create a master."

Thinking of this, Lin Qi's eyes became bright and firm; he changed into a new martial arts uniform and shoes.

Feeling that his physical strength had recovered quite a bit, he grabbed his training spear and began to practice.

"Swish swish~"

The long spear pierced the air, and Lin Qi's mind recalled the Blue Marrow Agent again.

The effect of the Red Blood Ointment was already strong enough, and the effect of the Blue Marrow Agent would only be stronger.

"The manual said that you need to let your body adapt to the Red Blood Ointment before using the Blue Marrow Agent; the two complement each other to maximize the effect."

"And the adaptation time varies according to each person's physique, fast in one month, slow in two months."

"And it's best to use it when the Qi and blood value is above 9.2, which can absorb more than 80% of the effect."

"With my talent, it definitely won't take two months; one month is enough, maybe even less than 30 days."

Lin Qi guessed silently; soon, the distracting thoughts in his mind were removed, and he devoted himself entirely to the spear technique.
