The Great Medicine of Qi and Blood

"This is the 'Tiger Subduing and Bone Refining Technique' of my Killing Martial Arts School. Junior Brother Li may refer to it and review it from time to time, but remember not to pass it on to others."

"This Qi and Blood Elixir is potent, but its effects are volatile. Beginners should cultivate for at least ten days before consuming it. Junior brother, please be careful when taking this medicine."

"As for this medicinal bath pack, simply soak it in boiling water for half an hour, then pour it in when you take a bath. Its medicinal properties are much milder than those of qi and blood tonics. It comes in two ounces a pack. If you have plenty of money, Junior Brother, you can buy more. A daily bath will help you cultivate your skin and flesh to perfection even faster."

After explaining, Yu Xiangyang placed the items directly on the stone table in the courtyard.

"Junior brother, you can look at and use these things on your own tonight. Next, I will teach you the cultivation of the 'Tiger Subduing and Bone Refining Method'."

After saying that, he took off his outer clothes, leaving only a pair of shorts, revealing his muscular upper body and the thighs and calves of his lower body.

"My Killing Martial Arts School's 'Tiger Subduing and Bone Refining Method' is called bone refining, but it actually includes all the methods from stance training to bone refining."

After explaining the moves, Yu Xiangyang first demonstrated the Tiger-Taming Stance Technique, and then began to instruct Li Xijun on how to practice.

However, he did not expect Li Xijun to learn so quickly; she could basically learn all the stance training movements in one go.

In just a short time, he had already mastered a complete set of Tiger-Taming Stance techniques.

[Your "Tiger Subduing Bone Refining Technique" level has improved from 0% to 5% of the beginner level.]

This surprised Yu Xiangyang, who was standing to the side.

Li Xijun silently pondered for a moment, then shook her head slightly.

The effect is good, but when it comes to improving qi and blood, my "Azure Dragon Heaven-Reaching Method" is inferior to even the other six basic methods, let alone my own.

"Junior brother, you must have practiced stance training. No wonder your qi and blood are so abundant."

Yu Xiangyang understood what was going on, but he wasn't surprised.

Nowadays, there's no rule against learning martial arts with prior experience in the school, especially since Li Xijun paid five hundred taels of silver and is an inner disciple!

"Since you've already learned stance training, things will be much easier. I just don't know if you'll continue learning the Tiger-Taming Stance, or if I'll directly teach you the Tiger Demon Bone-Refining Fist to refine your skin."

"Is it okay if I don't learn the Tiger-Taming Stance?" Li Xijun asked.

"Sigh, most martial arts schools use stance training to cultivate qi and blood, which is then used to 'refine' the skin, flesh, tendons, and bones. The real core is the training method used by each school. The 'Tiger Demon Bone Refining Fist' is the essence of our school."

This made Li Xijun understand the key points of martial arts in this world even more, and he immediately nodded in agreement.

Yu Xiangyang then leaped back and landed under a large tree in the more open courtyard, where he began to demonstrate the "Tiger Demon Bone Refining Fist," starting by saying:

"Our Killing Body Martial Arts School's 'Tiger Demon Bone Refining Fist' has a total of seventy-two forms. The first twenty-four forms refine the skin and flesh, and the last forty-eight forms refine the tendons and bones. I will demonstrate all of them for you first, and then focus on practicing the first twenty-four forms."

"Watch closely how my skin and flesh change during the 'refining' process."

One person teaches and the other learns,

A day passed quickly.

Until the setting sun turned blood red at dusk,

Li Xijun, whose upper body and thighs were also exposed, suddenly arched his back, spread his legs apart, and his thigh and calf muscles twitched. Power rose from the ground and flowed through his legs. In an instant, blood and qi surged, and the muscles and fascia on his legs tightened with a soft sound.

Then he pushed off the ground with both legs and lunged forward, the force and blood rushing to his upper body like a tiger pouncing.

This is a move from the "Tiger Demon Bone Refining Fist".

After landing, Li Xijun continued practicing without stopping. He felt his legs, back, abdomen, and limbs were burning hot, and his skin and membranes were burning and stinging. This made him concentrate even more, breathing heavily, his qi surging, and his blood boiling. He stood up and took a step forward, his hand striking forward like a tiger's claw.

The sound of something cutting through the air was extremely loud in the courtyard.

Li Xijun felt his muscles and skin vibrate, and his blood and qi were violently flushed and burned, giving him a feeling that was both painful and pleasurable.

Yu Xiangyang, who was full of energy when he practiced "Tiger Demon Bone Refining Fist" before,

At this moment, he unconsciously leaned against the wall and began to doubt himself, especially as he looked at Li Xijun practicing in the courtyard, his eyes twitching every now and then.

As he taught today, he became increasingly alarmed.

At first, I thought he was a wealthy student who had returned from studying abroad, and at most he had learned some stance training while studying abroad.

Unexpectedly, when this person was learning boxing, he could remember almost anything at a glance and learn it after being taught it once. If I helped him correct it once, he would not make the same mistake a second time. He kept improving, improving, and improving again!

"A genius! This Junior Brother Li is definitely a genius straight out of a storybook!"

"I absolutely must cultivate a good relationship with him from now on!"

"Observe him for a few days. If he seems like a good person, then we'll ask our master to take a look."

........................

That night

After telling Yu Xiangyang that she was living elsewhere, Li Xijun returned to her home on Lanxing.

He had already filled the tub with hot water and poured the prepared herbal bath pack into it before submerging himself completely.

"Ah~~~~ That feels so good!"

The muscles that had been torn and damaged by practicing the Tiger Demon Bone Refining Fist were repaired and strengthened by the continuous penetration of the medicine's effects. Li Xijun felt warm all over and had an indescribable comfort.

After soaking,

As usual, Li Xijun practiced the Azure Dragon Heaven-Reaching Technique for a while before going to bed, and this time, he noticed that his blood and qi were improving a little faster.

Others might not be able to understand it, but he, who had refined his spirit and opened his mind, could clearly feel it.

"No wonder Senior Brother Yu thinks that stance training is irrelevant; the 'method of practice' is the most important."

"Although this method of martial arts training is a bit crude, the improvement each time is considerable."

"Although my blood and qi did not improve directly, my muscles and skin were 'refined' and became stronger."

"As long as the medicinal bath after refining replenishes the skin and flesh, my skin and flesh refining will not only not hinder my qi and blood cultivation, but will actually help it."

Li Xijun quickly realized that her physical strength was almost gone. This time, instead of stopping her cultivation and ordering a meal, she took out the qi and blood medicine she had prepared and swallowed it in one gulp.

"hiss----!"

Li Xijun felt a sudden fire rise in her stomach and couldn't help but gasp.

Immediately afterwards, as he practiced the basic repair method, he felt the violent medicinal power taking effect, which was completely different from the gentle and easily absorbed blood and qi medicine.

A burst of flames burned fiercely within his body, rolling through it like flowing magma.

But accompanying this pain was the powerful, domineering medicinal force that propelled the continuous generation and circulation of qi and blood, allowing Li Xijun to continuously circulate the "Azure Dragon Heaven-Reaching Technique" to absorb and nourish his body.

It wasn't until 2:30 a.m. that Li Xijun, having finally fully digested the medicinal effects and felt that he had reached level 6 in terms of Qi and Blood, slowly exhaled a hot breath.

"This blood-nourishing medicine is potent!"
