In the bamboo forest of the back mountain, Lu Qing was practicing the first nine forms of Health Nourishing Boxing.


    After more than a month of training, his mastery of Health Nourishing Boxing had be second nature.


    His movements, graceful and fluid, carried a unique rhythm and essence.


    The vigorous energy exuding from him made it pleasing to the eye and soothing to the heart.


    Even the old doctor Chen, if present, would surely praise Lu Qing’s boxing.


    Because Lu Qing had developed his unique understanding of the first nine forms, mastering thempletely.


    Focused and absorbed, Lu Qing practiced his boxing.


    He concentrated deeply, sensing the flow of blood and qi within, searching for the breakthrough opportunity.


    At this moment, the blood and qi within his body were several times more vigorous than when he first stepped into the Qi and Blood Realm.With each move, the power hidden within surged, causing the surrounding air to swirl and fallen leaves to dance.


    Suddenly, a sh of insight struck Lu Qing’s mind, and he grasped the secret of the blood and qi flow.


    Instantly, his blood and qi connected seamlessly, forming a unified whole, circting effortlessly.


    Lu Qing shuddered, a wave of understanding rising from his heart.


    "Blood and qi like a, continuous and unbroken. I''ve finally reached the minor sess of the Qi and Blood Realm."


    Indeed, Lu Qing had achieved the minor sess in the Qi and Blood Realm.


    The three stages of the Postnatal Realm: Qi and Blood Realm, Tendons and Bones Realm, and Internal Organs Realm.


    Each stage divided into four levels: entry, minor sess, major sess, and perfection.


    The hallmark of minor sess in the Qi and Blood Realm was the seamless connection of blood and qi, forming an invisible, continuous and unbroken.


    With this connection, power could be unleashed at will, no longer needing to gather blood and qi before exerting strength.


    Both endurance and explosive power were greatly enhanced.


    For Lu Qing, the biggest obstacle to reaching minor sess was not understanding the continuous and unbroken flow of blood and qi.


    It was the total amount of blood and qi power within his body.


    With his unique abilities, he neverckedprehension in boxing techniques.


    But the insufficient blood and qi power within his body had always limited his breakthroughs.


    Now, with the daily refinement of a Blood Replenishing and Qi-boosting Pill, his blood and qi power had finally reached a critical point.


    Breaking through to minor sess was just a matter of course.


    In a sh, Lu Qing moved to arge old bamboo, gripping the battle de inserted nearby.


    The de hummed as it was drawn, a cold light shing.


    Returning to his original position, Lu Qing exuded a murderous aura, beginning to practice the Four Directions de.


    de light shimmered, like moonlight flowing. With each move, he coordinated with the explosion of blood and qi, speeding up his strikes.


    The de sliced through the air, causing strong winds to rise, scattering dry bamboo leaves.


    Afterpleting the nine forms of the Four Directions de, Lu Qing stood still, feeling the residual strength within, a smile spreading across his face.


    This minor sess in the Qi and Blood Realm did not disappoint him.


    Before the breakthrough, he could only execute up to the seventh form of the Four Directions de, his blood and qi power insufficient to continue.


    But now, afterpleting a full round, he still had strength left, able tounch another round if needed.


    Nine forms in a row, each strike executed with full power, continuous and unbroken.


    ording to the records of the Four Directions de, he had achieved minor sess in this de technique.


    Sheathing the de, Lu Qing prepared to go home.


    Having achieved breakthroughs in two techniques, he was in an excellent mood.


    He decided to celebrate with a good meal.


    As he walked back, Lu Qing thought about his next training n.


    In martial arts realms, he had now reached minor sess in the Qi and Blood Realm. With continuous enhancement of his blood and qi, achieving major sess or even perfection wasn’t far off.


    However, he was running low on Blood Replenishing and Qi-boosting Pills, and it was time to ask his master to help refine another batch.


    Though skilled in gathering and brewing herbs, he hadn’t tried refining pills yet and had no experience.


    Otherwise, he could have made them himself.


    After all, he wasn’t short of ginseng now.


    When Xiao Li moved in, Lu Qing had asked about it.


    He learned that in the mountains, Xiao Li had discovered more than one ginseng nt.


    Some even matched the size of the two he had brought before.


    Upon hearing this good news, Lu Qing didn’t immediately send Xiao Li to gather the ginseng.


    Instead, he let them continue growing in the mountains.


    He nned to dig them up personally when needed.


    After all, whenever Xiao Li dug up ginseng, they got slightly damaged, affecting their medicinal properties.


    Moreover, he always wanted to see the actual growth environment of those herbs in the mountains.


    Despite his thorough study of the Compendium of Materia Medica, book knowledge and real-life experience were different. To be a good doctor, one had tobine knowledge with practice.


    Therefore, Lu Qing decided to seek his master''s guidance on refining the Blood Replenishing and Qi-boosting Pills after his master finished studying the Qing Nang Medical ssic.


    With those ginseng nts, Lu Qing’s cultivation in the Qi and Blood Realm would face no obstacles.


    In terms of martial arts techniques, he needed to find new ones to practice.


    Having reached minor sess in the Four Directions de, further progress required the body of the Tendons and Bones Realm.


    Before reaching the Tendons and Bones Realm, he could no longer progress in this de technique.


    So, he needed to find one or two more martial arts techniques to practice.


    “Tomorrow, I’ll see if my master has suitable martial arts for me to train,” Lu Qing thought.


    He remembered his master mentioning that besides the three Tendons and Bones Realm techniques he had shown, there were other ordinary Qi and Blood Realm techniques.


    Since he had nothing better to do, Lu Qing didn’t mind the lower level of those techniques. After all, he was still just in the Qi and Blood Realm.


    Having made up his mind, Lu Qing quickened his pace.


    To celebrate his breakthrough, he nned to go home and cook some meat for a good meal.


    As he descended from the back mountain and approached his house, he suddenly heard amotion, mixed with angry shouts, as if there was a dispute in front.


    What happened?


    Lu Qing paused, putting the wrapped battle de through the back window of his house, then circled around to the front yard.


    Arriving at the front, he saw arge group of people gathered, divided into two opposing sides.


    On one side were the vigers of Jiuli Vige.


    Grandpa Zhang protected Xiao Yan behind him, while other vigers, like the young Wang Da''an, held farm tools, looking agitated.


    Opposite them stood seven or eight burly men, leisurely waiting.


    “Didn’t you say that Lu Ming’s debt was cleared? Why are you here again?”


    Grandpa Zhang, shielding Xiao Yan, angrily shouted.
