Lin Qi reached in and pulled out a jar-shaped object, contained in a transparent vessel filled with a reddish-brown viscous ointment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the bottle’s surface was printed a black-and-white QR code.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Drip!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Qi pulled out his phone and scanned it; the screen switched to a webpage displaying text and images—the instructions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Qi read through it carefully from start to finish, even watched the video, and soon understood fully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Bloodred Ointment】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Effect: Apply to every part of the body to stimulate muscles and enhance blood cultivation effects; can be stacked with other potions.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Qi nodded—it was a resource from Chiqiong Martial Arts Gym, normally applied to the body before training to stimulate muscles and blood, accelerating cultivation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At first, once a day; over time, you could apply it multiple times daily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Qi pulled out his phone again and searched online for Bloodred Ointment; he quickly found the price.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Item: Bloodred Ointment】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Price: 50,000 Xia Nation currency per jar】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sss~”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the price, Lin Qi felt only one thing:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Expensive!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He thought the Energy Potion was costly, but this Bloodred Ointment was ten times the price.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the metal box were four jars of Bloodred Ointment, worth 200,000 Xia Nation currency.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He turned to the other potion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It resembled the Energy Potion closely—only one vial, containing a crystal-clear deep-blue liquid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Qi scanned the QR code again and got results quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Item: Blue Marrow Potion】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Effect: Contains massive source energy; when dissolved in water and absorbed, greatly increases blood value.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Price: 200,000 Xia Nation currency per vial】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Huh~”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Qi exhaled—heavy breath; the Blue Marrow Potion was even more expensive than the Bloodred Ointment, four times the price, costing 200,000 per vial!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was equivalent to a third-tier genius loan—just this tiny vial!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His family used to spend less than 200,000 in months; now one vial cost that much.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Martial cultivation truly consumed money.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without a contract, he simply couldn’t afford these potions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Today had given him a small shock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These resources were absurdly expensive—he’d never imagined such prices before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, the Blue Marrow Potion was in constant shortage at martial arts supermarkets; every restock sold out instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Buying elsewhere cost even more—possibly 250,000 or 260,000.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only geniuses with B-rank contracts or higher could obtain it—that was the advantage of having connections.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Qi looked at the four jars and one vial in the metal box—worth 400,000 total.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Enough to buy a decent new-energy vehicle, equivalent to four or five years of spending for an ordinary family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this was only the first batch; according to the contract, new resources would be delivered periodically.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The purpose was to ensure resource security.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Qi put everything away and stored the metal box in the cabinet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“One week until the midterm exam—these resources arrived just in time; they’ll help boost my blood value significantly.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Evening, Chiqiong Martial Arts Gym\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Room B123, Lin Qi’s private martial arts chamber\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Qi changed into his martial arts uniform and took out the Bloodred Ointment from his backpack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Today, I’ll test its effect!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He opened the lid; a strong, spicy fragrance spread out, even smelling like grilled meat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Qi scooped out a bit and applied it evenly to every part of his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once fully coated, he clearly felt his entire body heating up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Huh~”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He took a deep breath and began standing the Round Stance; as soon as he adjusted his breathing and settled in, his body grew even hotter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So hot!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Qi frowned; his body grew hotter still, soon surpassing a threshold into pain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His skin burned fiercely, his body searing as if on fire, radiating intense heat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ahh~” Lin Qi gritted his teeth, face twisted—intense burning engulfed his whole body, excruciatingly painful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It felt like being set ablaze; his body temperature kept rising.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wanted to give up, to throw himself into an ice cave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t give up—the instructions said the ointment’s effect lasts one hour; if I quit now, it’s all wasted.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Qi endured the pain, fully immersed in the stance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sweat dripped steadily from his forehead; white steam rose from his body, his entire frame glowing red like a steamed shrimp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Huh~”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Qi endured painfully, his body burning as if aflame—few first-time users could last this long.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he was different—he possessed astonishing willpower, having undergone multiple template modifications, forging ironclad resolve.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In pain, he sensed his muscles becoming wildly active, like standing on scorching ground—feet burning, forcing constant motion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blood surged into every corner of his body; searing heat pierced his skin, racing into his muscles, hammering furiously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Muscle cells thrashed violently; Lin Qi felt his blood itself transforming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【You used “Bloodred Ointment.” While standing, your blood value increased: +0.01】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【While standing, your blood value increased: +0.01】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【……, blood value +0.01】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Qi felt the pain as his muscles grew stronger, his chest heaving, blood value steadily rising.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One hour later\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Master, one hour is up!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Chan, dressed in blue, appeared as an auto-projection, reminding Lin Qi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Huh~”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Qi plopped onto the floor, his seat soaked; the ground around him was drenched into a small puddle, the burning sensation fading.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He checked his data panel—his blood value had changed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【You used “Bloodred Ointment” for the first time—effect significant: blood value +0.05】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Blood value: 9.0 → 9.05】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Qi looked at the blood value data; a smile appeared on his tired face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No wonder this ointment costs 50,000—first use was excellent; in a few days, my blood value will break 9.1.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Jiang Tao said that from 9.0 to breaking a realm, everyone’s progress slows.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Unless you use better resources—now, Bloodred Ointment is exactly that for me; my progress will remain fast.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Qi thought, slowly rising.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He picked up a functional drink and drank deeply, staring at the sweat puddle on the floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He recalled the pain—no ordinary person could endure it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The instructions mentioned a resource called Coolant Potion—it greatly reduces the burning pain of Bloodred Ointment.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But I just checked—the price is 5,000 per vial, same as the Energy Potion.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“And though it reduces pain, it also slightly weakens the Bloodred Ointment’s effect.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Neither 5,000 nor reduced effect is acceptable to me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So I’d rather endure the pain—it also trains my will.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The world’s strongest, Emperor Chi, once said: Only iron will creates a true powerhouse.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Qi thought of this, his gaze brightening, hardening. He changed into a fresh martial arts uniform and socks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once he felt his strength restored, he grabbed his training spear and began practicing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Shhh~”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The spear pierced the air; Lin Qi’s mind returned to the Blue Marrow Potion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bloodred Ointment’s effect was already strong—Blue Marrow Potion’s would be even greater.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The instructions said you must acclimate to Bloodred Ointment before using Blue Marrow Potion—they complement each other to maximize effect.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Acclimation time varies by individual—fastest one month, slowest two months.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, it should be used when your blood qi value is above 9.2, allowing you to absorb over 80% of its effect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With my talent, I certainly won’t need two months—one month is enough, even less than thirty days will suffice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Qi silently speculated, and soon cleared the clutter from his mind, throwing himself entirely into the spear technique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>……\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1239,"2026-06-20T20:27:41.493Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","058cf808df522631374077fc37e849a29040904c9008c96f3408659ffe8650dd","high-martial-world-getting-strong-by-grinding-er-chapter-62","high-martial-world-getting-strong-by-grinding-er-chapter-60",992,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fhigh-martial-world-getting-strong-by-grinding-er-cover.jpg"]
