Breaking Through the Qi and Blood Realm!

Chapter 78 Breaking Through the Qi and Blood Realm!

"Big brother, we caught a fish!"

Shen Kun grabbed the fishing net.

Once dragged to the ground, a few fish could be vaguely seen jumping around in the fishing net.

It's not very big, about the length of an adult's index finger.

These fish have fine scales on their bodies, whitish bellies, brownish-gray backs, and pale orange-red fins.

"This fish is so small."

Shen Kun was puzzled.

This isn't even enough to fill a gap between his teeth.

"That's how fish in small streams are; they don't usually get very big."

Shen Yi didn't know if this fish was poisonous.

In the next couple of days, we'll have Liao Ning and the others catch a few wild rabbits or something similar on the mountain to test the poison.

He took out a prepared bucket, filled it halfway with water from the stream, and then put a few small fish in it.

The small fish entered the water, its tail fins slapping against the current, and it immediately began to swim with a splashing sound.

Splashes of water flew everywhere, making it look very lively.

As Shen Kun approached, the splashing water immediately soaked his face and hair. He wiped his face and exclaimed, "Brother, these fish look small, but they're surprisingly strong."

"I don't think there are any big fish in the stream. If I take them back and raise them, they probably won't grow very big."

"It's mainly to add some life to the newly dug pond."

It can also provide the base with a fresh ingredient.

The three siblings continued fishing in the stream.

More than an hour later.

Their two buckets were already half full of fish.

A total of three types of fish were caught.

The first type is the small orange-finned fish that you just harvest.

The second type is slightly larger, about half the size of a palm, with yellowish scales.

The third type is the largest, about half the size of a hand, but also the fewest, with only three caught.

It looks similar to a crucian carp, but its body is slightly larger, unlike the other two types of fish which are long and thin.

The whole thing has a dark bluish-gray base color.

These fish look similar to fish on Earth, but they are actually quite different.

We still need to verify whether it is toxic before we can eat it with peace of mind.

"Alright, bring up some more aquatic plants, then we're done and heading back."

Seeing that the harvest was almost complete, Shen Yi scooped up a large pile of aquatic plants from the crevices of the rocks and the mud in the stream and put them into the bucket.

Hang the bucket on the wooden golem and then head back towards the base.

The three siblings spent the day fishing together, a rare and pleasant time they rarely had.

When they returned to the base, Shen Kun and Shen Yuan both had light and bright smiles on their faces.

Shen Yi hurried towards the pond.

After eight days and nights of hard work by the villagers who had reached the Qi and Blood Realm, the pond is still not finished, with only about one acre remaining.

"Village chief, you've returned from fishing?"

Previously, some villagers had fished, so everyone was familiar with these fish.

Seeing Shen Yi and the other two carrying buckets, they quickly noticed that there were many live small fish in the buckets.

"Village chief, so you had us dig this pond to raise fish."

Shen Yi shook his head and smiled, "No, these fish were just an unexpected bonus. My original intention was to create a pond to store rainwater so that it would be easier to change the water."

He glanced at the pond and said, "Put these fish in the pond first, and you guys go dig the ones on the other side."

"Village chief, leave this job to me!"

Cao Minghui immediately stepped forward and lifted the two wooden buckets at Shen Yi's feet.

Just as she was about to go with someone to set up the fish farm, she suddenly heard Shen Yi say to her, "Minghui, I remember Wang Shaohui has mastered the Three Styles of the Wild Bull. Why didn't your husband join the hunting team today?"

Cao Minghui's expression froze instantly.

She quickly recovered and forced a smile, saying, "My husband injured his health a few years ago and is no longer fit to hunt demonic beasts, so—"

Upon hearing this...

Shen Yi paused for a moment, then said, "I see. If you need anything, just let me know."

"By the way, your son Wang Shuo, I heard he already had a strong physique by the age of ten and has good aptitude for cultivation. You could arrange for him to work in the hunting team."

"This child is only at the second level of the Qi and Blood Realm, and hasn't mastered the Three Styles of the Savage Bull yet."

"It's alright, just have him go to the hunting grounds where the hunting team comes every day and let Fifth Master Mo give him some pointers."

Cao Minghui immediately said gratefully, "That's wonderful! Thank you so much, Village Chief, for nurturing my son, Wang Shuo!"

"Okay, go ahead and get busy."

Shen Yi nodded, said nothing more, and turned to lead Shen Kun and the other man back to the courtyard.

Guan Yue stood in front of the Blood Fiend Wooden Dummy, tirelessly throwing punches, each punch triggering her blood and qi to temper her body.

Judging from her condition, she must have been practicing the Bull Kung Fu for most of the day.

"You're back?"

Guan Yue once again broke free from the "practice on the wooden dummy" state, panting heavily.

Upon seeing Shen Yi and the other two return, she immediately stood up and went over to them, asking with concern, "Did your trip go smoothly today?"

"We explored about twenty miles to the east and confirmed the location of a small stream. We also caught quite a few fish, which we have already instructed people to put in the pond."

As Shen Yi spoke, he removed the items hanging on the wooden puppet soldier, and then took off the Yin Wood Armor he was wearing.

"Are you hungry? I'll go stew some monster meat for you."

Guan Yue shifted her gaze from Shen Yi to Shen Kun and Shen Yuan behind him.

"I'm a little hungry, thank you, Sister Guan Yue!"

"You're welcome. Take a rest, it'll be done soon."

After Guan Yue finished speaking, she turned around and quickly walked into the kitchen.

"Big brother, Sister Guan Yue practiced her kung fu really hard today."

Shen Yuan glanced down at the sweat on the ground, then looked at the location of the Blood Fiend Wooden Dummy, her eyes flickering.

Shen Yi put away the armor. "Her desire to become stronger is very strong, not much different from yours."

"Yes, Sister Guan Yue has been using the wooden dummy a lot these past few days. Is she about to break through her cultivation level?"

As she spoke, Shen Yuan's heart tightened.

"She just broke through a level a few days ago, she won't break through again so quickly."

Shen Yi stood up and walked to a blood-red wooden dummy, his eyes deep and unfathomable.

However, he has already touched the threshold of the fifth level of the Qi and Blood Realm, and is just one step away from the finish line!

It has been less than two months since I traveled from the time I arrived here.

Shen Yi has gone from the first level of the Qi and Blood Realm to the point where he is about to step into the fifth level!

This speed is unparalleled in the entire Heishan Village over the past sixty years.

Many villagers have spent decades only to linger at the second or third level of the Qi and Blood Realm.

However, besides having plenty of demon beast meat to support him, Shen Yi also had the strange artifact of the wooden dummy that could assist in his training.

Most importantly, it's the talent "Netherfire Food Refining"!

This talent allows him to refine and absorb the food in his stomach, enabling him to obtain one or two times the energy of others in a single meal!

His talent is his most fundamental advantage.

"talent-

'

Shen Yi hadn't forgotten.

He still has the essence of three yellow weasels, which may be able to refine into new talents.

However, obtaining Soul-Nourishing Wood presents a significant challenge.

Furthermore, he hasn't figured out the rules of the talent slots yet, and can only equip one talent at the moment.

Therefore, even if he refines more talents, he cannot equip them all at the same time.

"Is there a limit to the number of talents that can be loaded in this talent slot, or is there a way to increase the limit?"

"How can I add another talent slot?"

"The monster meat is ready! Everyone, come and eat!"

Guan Yue's voice interrupted Shen Yi's thoughts.

He immediately suppressed his doubts and, feeling the growing hunger in his stomach, quickly sat down at the dining table with Shen Kun and Shen Yuan, and began to feast on a pot full of demon beast meat.

After the meal.

Taking advantage of the energy surging within their bodies from the demon beast meat, Shen Kun and Shen Yuan quickly went to practice the Wild Bull Technique on the Blood Fiend Wooden Dummy.

Shen Yi felt a burning sensation in his abdomen as well.

The "Netherfire Refining Talent" continuously refined the monster meat, spreading its energy to every part of the body. The blood and qi in the body seemed to change, becoming more stagnant and heavy than before, as if undergoing a transformation!

Then, the blood and qi surged uncontrollably, causing the muscles and bones to suddenly crack!

After refining and absorbing this pot of monster meat.

Shen Yi felt that he was starting to loosen his grip on the threshold of the fifth level of the Qi and Blood Realm.

Qi and blood surged continuously!

We're about to break through!

The thought had barely formed when Shen Yi swiftly stood before a blood-red wooden dummy.

The fist, drawing upon its power and the convergence of vital energy, slammed heavily onto the wooden dummy!

Boom-!

The force of the punch resonated, and soon a strange shockwave came from the Blood Fiend Wooden Dummy, traveling along the arm and striking the acupoint between the ribs!

Shen Yi's muscles went numb from the shock, and his posture involuntarily shifted to the left. In this posture, his internal energy and blood seemed to be activated, and he suddenly broke through a certain distance!

There is a slight sign that the shackles of the fifth level of the Qi and Blood Realm are loosening again!

This blood-red wooden dummy is helping him break through his current realm!

Shen Yi stopped deliberately suppressing his strength and kept unleashing the three forms of the Savage Bull towards the wooden dummy!

Each time he struck the wooden dummy, his blood and qi would seep into his muscles and bones, tempering his body even more deeply!

Under Shen Yi's relentless attacks, the flow of qi and blood between his muscles and bones became increasingly smooth and rapid.

at the same time.

Shen Kun and Shen Yuan also noticed their elder brother's movements.

But they had no time to be distracted.

Because their vital energy is rapidly increasing, they have no choice but to desperately pour their power onto the wooden dummy!

Shortly afterward, a cracking sound rang out inside his body.

The two players broke through at almost the same time.

But they did not stop.

While striking the wooden dummy, fully experience the new power emanating from every inch of your muscles and bones!

Breakthrough!

The two then took a moment to turn around and look at their older brother, who was making an even bigger commotion than they were not far away.

Shen Yi's blood surged, and his attacks were as swift and powerful as a storm!

The wooden dummy was driven into the ground with loud thuds!

"Wow, that's fierce!"

After they had been hitting the wooden stake for a full quarter of an hour, they saw the eldest brother suddenly stop for a moment.

Then, his blood and qi erupted, and he threw a punch from below upwards!

Break through the ceiling!

boom!

Just as the Qi and Blood completed their final surge from low to high, this punch also shattered the shackles of the fifth level of the Qi and Blood Realm!

Become!

Shen Yi opened his eyes and felt power surging through his limbs and bones, strengthening every inch of his muscles and bones.

In particular, the three forms of the Bull Demon King are showing signs of reaching perfection!

"Big brother!"

"You guys have broken through too, right?"

Shen Yi turned around and saw his younger brother and sister running over. He quickly noticed that their blood and qi strength had increased significantly.

"That's right! We've finally reached the mid-stage of the Qi and Blood Realm!"

Shen Kun let out a sigh of relief.

Previously, only the two of them were at the third level of the Qi and Blood Realm, while only the eldest brother and Sister Guan Yue were at the middle level of the Qi and Blood Realm.

Now they have finally reached that level.

"Brother, how does it feel to be at the fifth level of the Qi and Blood Realm?"

"Actually, I didn't feel much, except that my muscles and bones were stronger."

The Bull-like Skill is a martial arts technique.

Its main function is to strengthen muscles and bones and increase strength.

Let alone the fifth level of the Qi and Blood Realm, even the ninth level of the Qi and Blood Realm is still just a mortal body.

It won't cause people to generate any other mysterious powers out of thin air.

After he calmed down the turmoil in his blood and qi caused by breaking through the realm.

Suddenly, bursts of excited cheers erupted outside.

Then, someone arrived outside the courtyard, and Huang Dahu's excited voice rang out: "Boss! We had a great haul today in Black Mountain! We brought back quite a few monsters!"

Upon hearing this...

Shen Yi gave Ah Kun and the others a look.

Guan Yue went to open the door and immediately saw Huang Dahu, Liao Ning, and the other three standing outside the door carrying large baskets.

Two of the large crates were filled with the corpses of monsters!

"Boss, the bow you forged is amazing! We don't have to struggle as much as before when dealing with monsters."

"This bow allows us to easily aim at our targets. As soon as a monster appears in our sight, we can kill it with a single arrow!"

""

"Today we hunted down four demon rabbits, two field mouse demons, and one demon snake! A total of seven demon beasts!"

Shen Yi checked the harvest; they had collected about two hundred catties of monster meat today.

"Well done."

"Don't just stand there, come in."

Liao Ning and the other three quickly picked up the large baskets and went into the yard.

What they saw was a mountain of lantern ghost firewood, and three wooden dummy statues in the yard.

"Guan Yue, take them to put the monster meat away, then stew a pot of monster meat for them."

Shen Yi gave Guan Yue an instruction, then looked at the four of them and said, "From now on, you will all come here on time every morning and wait. I will have Guan Yue prepare three meals of demon beast meat for you."

"Boss, I'm fine!" Huang Dahu was the first to shout back.

"We have no problem either."

Liao Ning and the other two spoke up one after another.

Shen Yi nodded and looked at Guan Yue: "Today, in addition to preparing monster meat soup, we will also give each villager two ounces of monster meat."

"Okay, I'll go right away." Guan Yue nodded and turned to do it, leading the others to put the monster meat away.

At dusk.

The villagers were having dinner and talking about the hunting party that had gone up the mountain that day.

"What's wrong with Liao Ning and the others? They can kill several monsters a day. Before, it was already considered very good if they could kill one monster every two days."

"I heard from Huang Dahu that the village chief used the wooden puppet technique to forge a batch of weapons for them, making it easy to kill monsters!"

Everyone echoed this sentiment.

The arrows from Shen Yi's family were indeed much sharper and tougher than the deep black arrows that were often made in their village.

Unfortunately, only those who joined hunting teams were equipped with items crafted by Shen Yi, which they greatly envied.

"The monster meat soup is here!"

Soon, Guan Yue and the others came over carrying two wooden buckets.

Everyone quickly stood up.

Soon they received some exciting news.

"The village chief said that the hunting team had a very good harvest in the Black Mountain today, so each person will be given two ounces of monster meat! Line up to collect it!"
