Immortality Martial Arts: I Started with the Five Animals Health Fist

Chapter 60: Chapter 58 Above Body Refinement Great Achievement! Qi-Blood Pill Recipe!—1

Su Changkong did not continue to mock Wang Yun, instead, he directly said, “It’s good for everyone that Lord Wang intends to act against the Black Lotus Sect, but what does this have to do with me, a mere martial artist?

Wang Yun, who wanted to deal with the Black Lotus Sect, could simply call upon the troops, so why was he approaching him? What did he want to do?

Wang Yun said earnestly, “Most members of the Black Lotus Sect are quite skilled, and Mr. Wen, being highly proficient in martial arts, is rare in Clearwater City. I would like to ask Mr. Wen to take action and chop down those sect followers! This would disintegrate the influence of the Black Lotus Sect in

Clearwater City!”

in fact, there were only a few members of the Black Lotus Sect. Among those Su Changkong had encountered, such as Zhao Qing and Du Zhen, only Du Zhen and Zhao Qing were official members with the sect’s identity token. Most of the others were underlings who had been convinced or controlled by them, not even formal members of the sect.

These Black Lotus Sect members, whether they had considerable martial arts cultivation or possessed a strong ability to beguile people’s hearts, took advantage of the chaos to coerce some civilians and mercenaries. As long as these followers of the Black Lotus Sect were killed, the turmoil around Clearwater City would gradually dissipate.

“This Wang Yun… he really is quite the schemer.”

Su Changkong thought to himself.

In dealing with the Black Lotus Sect, the most effective method for Wang Yun, with his status as a County Magistrate, would be to directly mobilize the local government and the masses against the sect. However, it was clear that Wang Yun was worried about provoking trouble.

If Wang Yun leveraged all his resources against the Black Lotus Sect, it would mean declaring war against them. Other people, even bandits and outlaws, had reservations about killing officials, but the followers of the Black Lotus Sect wouldn’t care about such things. Wang Yun and even his relatives and friends would face assassination attempts from the sect!

Therefore, Wang Yun was exceedingly cautious and unwilling to confront the Black Lotus Sect openly. That’s why he had come up with this plan, asking a martial arts expert to assassinate those Black Lotus Sect members causing harm everywhere.

It was not unusual for highly skilled chivalrous individuals, who could not stand the harm done by the Black Lotus Sect, to draw their swords and eliminate the villains, protecting the innocent; this had nothing to do with him,

Wang Yun!

And within Clearwater City, some martial arts experts like Xu Jin, the head of the Iron Cloth Martial Art Academy, were also powerful; however, they did not dare to provoke the Black Lotus Sect, for fear of involving their families. Wang Yun couldn’t enlist their help either.

This young man known as Wen Tai, with his mysterious identity and strong martial arts skills, was simply perfect for the task!

Immediately, Wang Yun bowed deeply to Su Changkong, “I implore Mr. Wen to help those innocent people who have been victimized by the Black Lotus Sect! It’s a great act of merit!”

Wang Yun’s words were passionate and sincere, yet Su Changkong remained expressionless, knowing full well that Wang Yun was only looking out for himself.

Su Changkong said indifferently, “Enough, I am not such a good person who loathes evil. We both know how formidable the Black Lotus Sect is. If we act against them, and things go awry, it can affect friends and family. You think I would risk my life against the Black Lotus Sect just based on your empty

words?”

Su Changkong was no naive person. Although he also despised and was even angry at the actions of the Black Lotus Sect, picking a fight with such a colossal entity was not the way of the wise.

Hearing this, Wang Yun’s eyes lit up. Since Wen Tai didn’t outright refuse, there was a chance. As long as sufficient benefits were given, even the Black Lotus Sect would not intimidate Wen Tai!

Wang Yun immediately said, “Mr. Wen, if you are willing to help Clearwater City against the Black Lotus Sect, for every official member you kill, I am willing to offer Mr. Wen 500 taels of silver as a reward! Our yamen will also provide intelligence to Mr. Wen and support you fully!

Five hundred taels for a single head! In these times, many people wouldn’t earn

500 taels of silver in their entire lives!

Su Changkong calmly stated, “500 taels? Some wanted criminals have bounties of several thousand, even tens of thousands of taels of silver! The harm caused by the followers of the Black Lotus Sect is no less grave than theirs!” Wang Yun offered five hundred taels of silver for the head of an official member of the Black Lotus Sect, which was not a small amount, but Su Changkong was far from satisfied. Wang Yun was no good man, and since he wanted him to make a move, he would have to pay a steep price!

Su Changkong indeed had no fondness for the Black Lotus Sect, as they had poisoned the water source at Black Iron Manor, causing several people to fall ill and die. Even if Su Changkong hadn’t been strong and sturdy, he might have fallen ill as well!

Wang Yun wanted to hire him to deal with the Black Lotus Sect, and in doing so, Su Changkong could take his revenge while also making enough money—in fact, Su Changkong was in great need of money!

Wang Yun knew that to hire the unfathomable expert before him, he would have to pay a certain price. Clenching his teeth, he said, “500 taels really isn’t a small sum… I’ve been relatively incorruptible over the years and don’t have much savings, but I can give Mr. Wen a pill recipe for the Qi-Blood Pill, worth its weight in gold. This is a precious secret recipe that money can’t buy!”

“A pill recipe for the Qi-Blood Pill?”

Upon hearing this, Su Changkong felt a slight stir in his heart. Any recipe referred to as a “pill” was of an extremely high level, unlike the Body Strengthening Soup and Vital Qi Spread Su Changkong had worked with before, which were not in the category of “pills !

Wang Yun wanted to use a pill recipe for the Qi-Blood Pill as a bargaining chip to prevent Su Changkong from raising his price further.

Seeing the slightly puzzled look on Su Changkong’s face, Wang Yun explained with renewed vigor, “In the cultivation of martial artists, the first realm is the Body Refinement Realm. Reaching the Divine Bravery Stage of Body Refinement Great Achievement is the limit, and the next step is entering the Qi-Blood Realm, where one cultivates Qi and Blood!”

“Hmm.”

Su Changkong nodded slightly, he was certainly aware of this, having discussed it previously with Yan Song; he knew that above the Body Refinement Realm was the Qi-Blood Realm.

The Body Refinement Realm was divided into levels of Strength Refinement, Internal Strength, Divine Power, and Divine Bravery.

The second realm in martial arts was the Qi-Blood Realm!

Blood is the source of life; if Qi and Blood weaken, one would become frail and sickly with a lackluster spirit. If Qi and Blood are vigorous, then one is immune to myriad diseases and can easily ward off evils!

What is cultivated in the Qi-Blood Realm is Qi and Blood!

But for martial artists, entering the Qi-Blood Realm is extremely difficult. Not only does it require achieving Great Achievement in Body Refinement, but there are also age restrictions. Being in the prime of life, when Qi and Blood are most vigorous, is when one reaches the peak of their life, and the impact on the Qi- Blood Realm is naturally doubled.

However, once one has aged and their Qi and Blood have begun to wane and their physical state has declined, then attempting to break through to the Qi- Blood Realm becomes much more difficult!

Wang Yun said, “After martial artists reach the Divine Bravery Stage, advancing further is filled with insurmountable difficulties, because their bodies have reached the limit of what Body Refinement can achieve. But if one can bring their Qi and Blood to their peak and cause a metamorphosis, then they can step into the level of the Qi-Blood Realm, breaking their shackles and allowing their bodies to grow once more! Every martial artist in the Qi-Blood Realm is powerful enough to take on dozens or even nearly a hundred enemies!

“And the simplest, most straightforward method to strengthen Qi and Blood is through eating! The food that is consumed and digested will partially transform into Qi and Blood!”

Wang Yun spoke up, and although he was not a martial artist, as the County Magistrate of Clearwater City, he surely had extensive knowledge and was well-informed.

Su Changkong nodded slightly; he was clear on the method to reach the Qi- Blood Realm—to increase Qi and Blood to their peak, naturally resulting in metamorphosis.

And relying on the consumption of nutrition-rich meat was one way, but it was very difficult.

The amount of food a person can eat has its limits, and even though martial artists in the Body Refinement Realm consume much more than an average person, even eating meat at every meal is just enough to maintain their own energy balance. To rely solely on eating to expand one’s Qi and Blood to the limit, causing a Qi and Blood metamorphosis, is possible only for those with unique physiques and exceptional talents. Hence, most martial artists seeking a Qi and Blood metamorphosis need to increase the quality of their food intake, consuming items that nourish Qi and replenish blood!
