Chapter 115 Blood Exchange Pill, Blood Coagulation Pill
It was busy until 5:15 pm, and the crowd of people registering for the martial arts school began to thin out.
Liang Qu held the pen with five fingers, wrote his name, and put it aside to dry.
He had a thick stack of registration books piled up next to him, with at least a hundred names on it.
The lowest tier for each person is seven taels, and the guaranteed minimum is one thousand taels of silver. If calculated based on the middle tier of twenty taels, that would be three thousand taels.
Several students I met in the academy before came to sign up, saying that they wanted to develop in the direction of being both civil and military, and they all chose the highest level of fifty taels.
No wonder Pang Qinghe came to send a visiting card to compete, and even threw down three hundred taels of silver if he lost.
Having a reputation really means a lot of money.
Xiang Changsong walked out of the main entrance, picked up the teapot on the table and poured water into it. He drank three cups in a row and took a deep breath: "I'm dying of thirst. My mouth is so dry. Let's go, let's go to Master's house and break through the blood barrier!"
"Okay." Liang Qu packed up his paper and pen.
The first three levels for a warrior are not dangerous, but the fourth level involves the blood vessels throughout the body. If you are not careful, you will die. It is the most dangerous level.
He even needed the help of three blood coagulation pills and three blood exchange pills to pass the test successfully. He had to learn from the past.
Hu Qi also packed up his things and turned around and said, "Li Libo, Chen Jiechang, the two of you help look after the martial arts hall!"
"Okay, Brother Hu."*2
Last time, there was no one in the martial arts gym, so Hu Qi temporarily asked Lu Shaohui to take over. The incident that happened is still fresh in my memory.
It can be considered as a lesson for him.
People who learn martial arts are full of vigor and vitality, and many of them have never been to school. They are just those who have some extra money from their families.
It’s easiest for things to go wrong when 17 or 18-year-olds get together, so you have to find someone who is reliable.
Li Libo and Chen Jiechang were about to break through the skin barrier, and they were able to suppress the new apprentice. They were honest people, which was appropriate.
It was all thanks to Liang Qu that Li and Chen had already spent three months studying, but Liang Qu let them stay under the pretext of recruiting helpers for the martial arts school.
The martial arts school expanded and had more than a hundred people. Hu Qi, Xiang Changsong and Liang Qu alone could not take care of them all.
At present, I only get meals every day, but no wages. I have to wait until I pass the level to get three taels of silver as a monthly salary.
In the quiet room of Yang Mansion.
Xiang Changsong sat cross-legged on the ground, wearing only a pair of black wide trousers, breathing in and out the Qi.
After a moment, he swallowed a flaming red pill.
Liang Qu watched intently, learning advanced experiences.
The fiery red pill is a blood-activating pill mixed with horn powder of ox-horn pomfret. It can activate blood circulation throughout the body and warm up the body for breaking the blood barrier.
After the warm-up, we will really start to break through.
Xiang Changsong let out a long breath, opened the medicine bottle, and swallowed another fiery red pill. This pill was bigger than the previous one, but it was not a blood-activating pill, but a blood-transferring pill!
The blood-exchanging pill also contains ox horn and pomfret horn powder as a medicine, but the pharmacology of the two is completely different, and both can fully activate human blood.
To break the blood barrier, first take the blood exchange pill, then take the blood coagulation pill, and repeat three rounds.
While perceiving, Xiang Changsong took the blood-exchanging pill. Within a few breaths, the Qi in his body suddenly became intense. The red light of Qi and blood shone through his body. The air flow in the quiet room was stirred, almost turning into wind.
Xiang Changsong's skin was red, his forehead was slightly sweaty, and his breathing was rapid.
Yang Dongxiong shouted: "Prick Yangming, bleed the qi."
Xiang Changsong frowned slightly, his breathing gradually slowed down, and his chest rose and fell in a natural rhythm.
The red skin became even redder, and a strong smell of blood suddenly rose in the quiet room with a faint scent of incense. The source was Xiang Changsong!
A shocking scene appeared.
On his deep red skin, large beads of blood rolled down, actually seeping out from his pores!
But no one was shocked, this was the blood transfusion in the blood test.
Three surges and three condensations!
Three times the blood gushed out, three times the blood coagulated!
All must be completed in one hour!
If an ordinary person loses 20% of his blood, his limbs will become weak and his face will turn pale. If he loses 30% of his blood, his life will be in danger.
If he loses 100% of his blood, he will definitely die!
Without the foundation of the first three levels, you will die on the spot after just one surge!
The first three levels for a warrior can be said to be preparations for the Three Surges and Three Condensations.
The blood rolled down like dew, and dried on the skin before it could fall due to the high temperature, forming a thick blood scab.
Half an incense stick later, Xiang Changsong's breath became extremely weak. He raised his hand tremblingly, and blood scabs on his body fell off. He swallowed the blood-clotting pill with difficulty.
The throat was surging and the pill entered the stomach.
Xiang Changsong's breath, which had fallen to the bottom of the valley, gradually recovered.
Until the breathing becomes stable, the intensity is twice as much as at the beginning!
Xiang Changsong took the second blood-exchanging pill, and the same scene as before appeared. The smell of blood in the quiet room became stronger.
The ground around it was covered with a thick layer of scab, like a peeled pine cone with scales peeling off layer by layer.
Then came the second blood coagulation pill, the third blood exchange pill, the third blood coagulation pill,
This was repeated three times, and each time Xiang Changsong's breath grew rapidly.
If a psychologically fragile person were to watch, he would probably be frightened to the point of his liver and gallbladder bursting. The sight of blood gushing out of his body would be too terrifying, and the feeling of powerlessness of being on the verge of death after the blood gushed out would be like falling into the abyss.
That's why Poxueguan needs someone to take care of him, give him spiritual support, and prevent accidents so that he won't die silently.
Yang Dongxiong asked Liang Qu to come and observe just to give him a heads-up and to familiarize him with the process.
When Xiang Changsong's qi and blood recovered for the third time, the strength of his breath had tripled!
When warriors compete, the one with more breath survives, and the one with less breath dies!
If you can't get back in one breath, you might be killed on the spot!
But once the blood barrier is broken, it will be like flowers blooming and brocade, fire boiling and oil boiling, and the whole body will have endless energy and will never be exhausted!
Xiang Changsong shook his neck slightly, and blood clots fell off and broke into powder on the ground. Finally, he opened his eyes and a gleam of light shone out: "It's done!"
"Good!" "Congratulations, brother!"
"Congratulations, junior brother!"
Everyone stood up with smiles on their faces to congratulate, feeling relieved.
Almost everyone present had experienced the bloody gate, so how could they not know the danger involved.
Now that he has crossed this threshold, he has become a true martial artist, and everyone is happy for Xiang Changsong from the bottom of their hearts.
Xiang Changsong stood up from the ground, and with the energy of his qi, he shattered all the blood scabs, revealing his original appearance.
The blood and qi that permeate the body are completely restrained. They do not become weaker but stronger. This is a manifestation of the condensation of qi and blood. Unless they are deliberately stimulated, they will no longer show outside.
He clenched his fists, his excitement evident.
Xu Zishuai grabbed Xiang Changsong's shoulders and said, "Don't be too happy. Go take a shower and wash off the bloody smell. Then go eat. I've been hungry all day, just waiting for your meal today! I'm going to slaughter you!"
"Of course, I'm the host today, everyone can order whatever you want to eat!"
Xiang Changsong was overjoyed and ran out of the quiet room excitedly.
He was also uncomfortable because he smelled of blood.
The water hits the rocks, creating a splash.
"How does it feel to have a blood transfusion?"
"It was so uncomfortable. I really felt like I was going to die. I didn't have any strength at all. I could barely swallow the pills."
"Hahaha, it must be great to pass the level."
"Well, I feel a lot more relaxed all over, and my breathing is lighter."
"Now Xiaojiu is the only one among us who is not a martial artist. We need to hurry up! Who knows, we might be able to have another meal this year."
Liang Qu and the others walked to the South Stone Bridge. Xu Zishuai, who was joking, looked sharp and said, "Hey, isn't that Pang Qinghe?"
"Really? They also come to Langyunlou for dinner?"
“They saw us.”
No one expected it to be such a coincidence that they met each other at noon and again in the evening.
On the other side, Pang Qinghe also discovered Yang Dongxiong and his group.
After Kou Zhuang noticed the gaze, he touched the back of his head and smiled foolishly, with bruises on his face.
"Master Pang is also coming to Langyun Tower for dinner?"
Pang Qinghe smiled awkwardly: "Yes, everyone is very tired today, so I will take my disciples out for a good meal. That's perfect. I'm sorry for offending you today, Master Yang, so I'll pay for this meal."
"Master Pang, you don't have to spend money." Yang Dongxiong shook his head. "Today, my eighth disciple broke through the blood barrier, and we came here to celebrate."
"That's really a cause for celebration. I won't disturb you any further."
The two sides exchanged a few brief words without much pleasantries.
Liang Qu and his group entered the private room and started ordering dishes happily.
"Hey, there are a lot of new dishes!"
Dangtou bowed and smiled: "It's all thanks to Master Yang that there are more and more businesses in the town. The ingredients that were rare before can now be seen every few days. They have been added to the menu, and there are also various kinds of monster meat. Gentlemen, would you like to try it?"
"Okay, I'm going to make Eighth Junior Brother bleed profusely!"
Xiang Changsong never turned away anyone who came. He waved his hand and said, "Come on, my pockets are full!"
"First, bring the wine. Ten jars of Immortal Drunkenness Wine! One jar for each person!"
"okay!"
"What is this mangosteen pig? Give me half of it!"
Warriors eat in their own way. They have big appetites and it is impossible for them to order one dish after another. They usually order half of the dishes and let the chefs prepare them with their own skills.
"Brother Xu, are you trying to save me money? Why eat half a head? If you want to eat, just eat the whole head!"
"Okay! Then one, and I'll try this one."
"That's enough, that's enough. Let's have something vegetarian, otherwise it's too greasy."
The atmosphere in the room was lively.
Jars of fine wine were served one after another, and various dishes were also brought out one after another by the waiter.
The sound of dishes filled his ears, but Liang Qu didn't hesitate to eat. He thought it would be his turn in the future anyway.
Compared to the previous meal that the owner of the fishing station treated us to, the dishes on the table were indeed much more sumptuous.
Big places do have their own advantages. You won’t find these things in the corners.
An hour later, Xiang Changsong was dazed and leaning against the wall to pay the bill.
"What, she's been married?"
"Yes, Master Xiang, it was tied to the knot with the martial arts master who came with you."
"Oh, I see."
Xiang Changsong held his head, relaxed for a while, then returned to the box and told Yang Dongxiong.
"He is quite a smart person." Yang Dongxiong shook his head after hearing this. He turned to look at Liang Qu, "How long will it take for you to break through the bone barrier?"
"Within today or tomorrow."
"Once you've cleared the barrier, we'll go explore the small lake you mentioned."
