Chapter 680

The next day.

On the training ground.

"Those who can move blood and Qi, step forward!"

Xiong Jiaotou Xiong's gaze swept over the boys and girls.

Xun Xun Heihu took a deep breath and took a big step forward in the shocked, stunned, and envious eyes of his companion Zhao Daniu.

It was only then that he discovered that the girl with a good figure whom he often peeked at also took a step forward.

"Xun Xun Heihu, Jiang Dayan... stand the Bai Lu Stake!"

Xun Xun Heihu didn't have time to think too much, and Xiong Jiaotou Xiong's voice came to his ears.

He subconsciously obeyed the instruction, stood the Bai Lu Stake, and his figure floated slightly, like a small deer jumping lightly in the forest.

At the same time, a big hand pressed directly on his lower abdomen: "Operate the blood and Qi!"

Xun Xun Heihu immediately grasped the blood and Qi and gathered it towards his lower abdomen.

"Very good, indeed you can already move blood and Qi, you can refine pills and take medicine, and try the next step to sprint into the ranks."

Xiong Jiaotou Xiong withdrew his hand and looked quite satisfied.

And beside him, a female instructor also withdrew her palm, and with a scar on her cold face, she said without any emotion: "Passed!"

Xun Xun Heihu and Jiang Dayan looked at each other, and a trace of relief appeared on their faces.

"The rest of you continue to practice the Bai Lu Stake, you follow me."

Xiong Jiaotou Xiong took Xun Xun Heihu and Jiang Dayan to another square.

Here, there were only twenty or so boys and girls, all of whom had broken through before.

Xun Xun Heihu discovered that Ye Ye Fengchun was among them.

But Yuchi Gang, the genius who had always been mentioned by everyone, was not there.

Xiong Jiaotou Xiong took the two to a new place and left. Instead, the cold female instructor with a scar on her face stayed behind: "My surname is Yu, you can call me Xiong Jiaotou Yu... Xun Xun Heihu, Jiang Dayan, next, I will teach you a method to move the blood and Qi of the intestines and stomach to assist in digesting the 'Copper-Lead Pill'. You who have practiced blood and Qi can get one 'Copper-Lead Pill' every day... Next, you have nine months to practice martial arts. If nine months pass, and you still can't break through after taking the pills..."

"Then we will be kicked out, right?" Jiang Dayan opened her mouth and answered.

"No, you will get stomach disease and poisoning... If there is no brilliant doctor to treat you, even if you barely live, the second half of your life will be unbearable to look at."

Xiong Jiaotou Yu said: "If you regret it now, it's still not too late."

"I won't regret it."

Jiang Dayan appeared very firm.

In comparison, Xun Xun Heihu appeared very ordinary.

"Not bad, I like your temperament very much. If you can enter the ranks, you can worship me as your teacher."

Xiong Jiaotou Yu squeezed out a ferocious smile: "But your name is too vulgar, I don't like it. If you worship under my sect, you must change a character, call it 'Jiang Jiang Yuyan'..."

Xun Xun Heihu nodded repeatedly, feeling that this name sounded better than Dayan.

Xiong Jiaotou Yu glanced at him: "You don't have to think about it, I don't accept male disciples..."

'Actually, I can be called Yu Hu.'

Xun Xun Heihu looked at Jiang Dayan with some regret and pinched off the budding affection.

He learned the blood and Qi movement method for a while, glanced at Xiong Jiaotou Yu, and suddenly leaned towards Ye Ye Fengchun: "Why don't I see Yuchi Gang?"

"Yuchi Gang?"

Ye Ye Fengchun was a boy as thin as a monkey, and smiled bitterly when he heard this: "He is a true genius of an aristocratic family. He broke through the Copper Gate pass three days ago and became a real Ninth Rank warrior... Now he doesn't have to be with us, but can worship an instructor as his teacher and practice alone... Sigh, Xiong Jiaotou Yu said he will inevitably be able to practice internal strength and formally join the Five Birds Sect. Compared to him, we are simply..."

Xun Xun Heihu was fine. He already had a real treasure and never felt that he couldn't catch up.

After practicing martial arts seriously for a day, he took a strange pill and returned to his new dormitory.

Apprentices who have practiced blood and Qi need a quiet space to swallow pills and practice, so his dormitory was moved to an independent shed. Although the space was not large, the privacy was stronger.

He lay on the bed and soon entered a dream.

Inside the Eastern Zhenwu space.

"Copper-Lead Pill? Can it really be brought in?"

Xun Xun Heihu looked at the brass-colored pill on his hand that was no bigger than a grain of rice, and couldn't help but open his mouth wide.

"Since this place can store blood and flesh, it can naturally also be brought into pills..."

Fang Xing sneered. For him who had long mastered the true and the illusory, the boundary between reality and illusion was actually very blurred.

"Moreover... swallowing pills here will have the same effect as swallowing pills in the outside world. Similarly, you can swallow the flesh of ancient fierce beasts in the Eastern Zhenwu space..."

He flicked his hand, and that 'Copper-Lead Pill' fell into his hand: "This pill contains lead, copper, and many herbs... If you still can't break through after taking medicine for several months, it will be too harmful to the body, even for a warrior."

Fang Xing flicked it casually, and the pill fell into Xun Xun Heihu's hand: "What is your decision?"

Xun Xun Heihu didn't hesitate much, set up the Bai Lu Stake, and swallowed the Copper-Lead Pill in one gulp.

'It tastes like rust, and a little sweet...'

He felt the changes in his abdomen and immediately began to move his blood and Qi to digest the power of the pill...

Fang Xing watched Xun Xun Heihu practice martial arts silently, but secretly thought: 'This Nine Provinces martial arts is a bit extreme... Although it follows the path from outside to inside, the lower three ranks are all hard arts, but directly swallowing metal pills to destroy the body and promote regeneration... aren't they afraid of heavy metal poisoning in the end?'...

Time passed day by day.

Soon, it was nine days later, the last day of the three-month period.

Xun Xun Heihu and the others were rarely given a holiday and came to the original training ground, looking at the pale little partners.

Over the past three months, those who could grasp blood and Qi were ultimately a minority.

Most apprentices paid five hundred taels of silver and obtained a chance to change their fate, but ultimately could only stop here.

Xiong Jiaotou Xiong's gaze was like electricity, sweeping over the remaining students: "Today is the last day of the deadline. Is there anyone who can grasp blood and Qi?"

He asked twice before a timid disciple walked out.

Xiong Jiaotou Xiong took a step forward: "Operate the stake method..."

He pressed his palm on the boy, and after a while, he sneered and slapped down.

Slap!

The boy was directly slapped to the ground, blood spilled from the corner of his mouth, and his face was full of disbelief.

!

"You used 'Violent Blood Pill', but it's a pity that the subtle changes in the power of blood and Qi catalyzed by this kind of medicine can deceive ordinary martial arts masters, but they cannot deceive me."

Xiong Jiaotou Xiong sneered: "Do you think people from our One Temple, Two Sects, Six Great Factions are the same as those in ordinary martial arts halls and second-rate sects, and can be fooled by you? Get out!!!"

By the end, his voice was simply like thunder.

Boys and girls had red eyes, some cried directly, and were led by handymen to pack their things and leave.

"Look carefully, remember this scene well."

Xiong Jiaotou Yu's cold voice sounded in Xun Xun Heihu's ear: "On the path of martial arts, the loser is this kind of end! If you don't want to be treated like this, you can only keep progressing, keep... fighting!"

A moment later.

"Daniu?!"

Xun Xun Heihu found his little partner.

"Woo woo... five hundred taels, my dad will beat me to death when I go back." Zhao Daniu cried with tears: "How many cows do I have to sell for this..."

Xun Xun Heihu fell silent, thinking that Zhao Daniu's family was a landlord and raised quite a few cows...

After going back, he would probably inherit the family business and become the silly son of a landlord...

"Take care!"

After thousands of words, in the end, he just cupped his hands and clasped his fists!

"Hmm."

Zhao Daniu nodded, stuffed something into Xun Xun Heihu's hand: "I know I have no talent, and now that I've tried, I accept my fate. But Brother Xun, you have talent, so you must go on... I heard that practicing martial arts becomes more expensive the further you go. Take this private money, and go on with my share."

He gritted his teeth, carried his luggage, waved his hand, and walked out of the Bai Lu Academy gate.

Xun Xun Heihu looked at the heavy money bag in his hand, looked at Zhao Daniu's back, and his palms kept clenching...

Inside the Eastern Zhenwu space.

"I want to practice more, practice hard!"

Xun Xun Heihu had faint airflow generated between his breaths.

"Daniu has the financial resources, but no talent!"

"And in Chuzhou, I don't know how many children have talent but no financial resources... they can only starve to death on the road!"

"The five hundred taels my dad gave me is not easy... I must stand out!"

Xun Xun Heihu breathed heavily and began to practice ancient martial arts move by move.

Gradually... he felt warm currents surging in his body.

This was not blood and Qi, but similar to blood and Qi, but it carried more violent power, even making his eyes a little red.

"This is... ancient martial arts broke through?!"

Xun Xun Heihu was overjoyed, feeling the strengthening of his physique.

A strong change was forming in his body!

"Not bad!"

Fang Xing appeared, looking at Xun Xun Heihu's surging muscles, and nodded: "The world misunderstands that ancient martial arts don't work, because they don't have the environment of ancient times and can't eat top-level ancient fierce beasts... so they think the middle three ranks are the limit."

"And here with me, you can obtain the most top-level ancient fierce beast flesh as a primer... plus ten times the hard practice, and the characteristic of breaking through bottlenecks, you finally succeeded and awakened one of the Twelve Body Differences - Qilin Blood!"

"Qilin Blood?"

Xun Xun Heihu was a bit confused: "What's the use? Is this also a martial bone?"

"Qilin Blood... I believe you have felt it. Stimulated during martial arts fighting, it can speed up your blood flow and comprehensively increase your own strength, but it may also fall into the emotions of madness and slaughter... Blood is born from bone, so it can also be called 'Qilin Bone', which is naturally a martial bone, and a top-level martial bone!"

Fang Xing commented, and felt a bit regretful: "I specially chose the flesh of 'Three-Horned Pig' and 'Swallowing Heaven Rat' as primers for you, actually intending to induce the 'Taotie Stomach' among the twelve strange phases... This body difference can make your digestive ability greatly increase, and the effect of taking medicinal meals and pills will far exceed ordinary people. Moreover, ordinary people can only take one Copper-Lead Pill a day, but you with the Taotie Stomach can take two or three... It's a pity that awakening what body difference depends entirely on luck. You are named Xun Heihu (Black Tiger), so your hands are indeed black..."

Xun Xun Heihu inexplicably felt that he was scolded by the artifact spirit, but there was no evidence.
