46: Chapter 46 Plans 46: Chapter 46 Plans “Indeed, cultivating External Forging is not that simple. The consumption of Qi and Blood is truly overwhelming.” Bai Ziyue was panting, feeling his power severely depleted. Ten minutes of cultivation, and he hadn’t even completed one cycle, yet he could no longer persevere. “Furthermore...” Bai Ziyue grimaced, looking at the fine sweat beads on his body and the terrifying streaks of blood stains mixed within. These blood stains were the stagnated blood expelled when Bai Ziyue’s skin membrane broke during the cultivation. “No wonder they say ‘Literati are poor, while martial artists need wealth.’ At this pace, without an immense amount of meat to replenish, who could withstand such a consumption of Qi and Blood?” Bai Ziyue thought to himself, unable to stop from glancing at his attribute panel. Name: Bai Ziyue Power: 2.07 (Cannot be increased) Speed: 1.91 (Cannot be increased) Physique: 2.09 (Cannot be increased) Spirit: 1.80 (Cannot be increased) Martial Arts: Zen Meditation Posture Perfection (Cannot be increased) Fifth Rank Golden Body (Uninitiated, cannot be increased) Eighteen Linked Blades Minor Success (Can be increased) One-character Punch Great Success (Cannot be increased) Immortal Technique: Purple Qi Divine Observation Technique (Uninitiated, cannot be increased) Soul Energy: 672 “However, it cannot be denied that even though it’s just the first time cultivating, the effects are still very apparent.” Comparing the data to before, Bai Ziyue immediately noticed that his power, speed, and physique had all slightly improved. Moreover, he indeed felt a lightness. Pinching his skin, he wondered if it was an illusion, but it seemed truly more elastic than before. After resting a bit, Bai Ziyue finally regained some strength. “Given my current Qi and Blood, continuing to cultivate will result in a depletion of Qi and Blood that won’t recover for several days. Fortunately, Qian Ming just sent over a few Qi Blood Pills. Using them to restore my Qi and Blood for cultivation should pose no problem. No matter what, I must complete one cycle of cultivation today.” Disregarding the blood stains on his body, Bai Ziyue took out the Qi Blood Pills sent by Qian Ming. Having already tested their effects, he was confident in them, and with his severe depletion and empty stomach grumbling with stomach acid, he directly took out two Qi Blood Pills and swallowed them in one go. Immediately, as the Qi Blood Pills entered his stomach, a scorching aura quickly spread to every corner of his body. The previously exhausted Qi and Blood quickly restored, giving him a seemingly inexhaustible strength everywhere. The vigorous Qi and Blood felt as if it was burning, forming visible wisps of smoke around his head and body. Not daring to hesitate, Bai Ziyue assumed the posture again and began cultivating. Driven by Qi and Blood, the internal power quickly formed, then slowly moved and flowed along his blood vessels and meridians. Simultaneously, the continuously generated power was slowly released, flushing his skin membrane. One minute, two minutes, three minutes... The Qi Blood Pill seemed to contain endless Qi and Blood power, which was entirely converted by him into power, becoming nourishment to enhance his skin membrane. After half an hour, Bai Ziyue let out a long breath. He finally completed one cycle. At this moment, his entire body was almost entirely covered in blood stains, dried up and congealed together, looking extremely terrifying. Feeling that he still had some strength, he quickly got up, left the room, and taking advantage of the night when no one was around, drew water from the well and swiftly washed himself. “If every cultivation session expels blood stains, then I must be careful. Otherwise, if some experienced martial artist sees, they will surely discover my secret.” As he cleaned thoroughly, Bai Ziyue’s thoughts raced through his mind. He actually considered moving out and finding a place to live on his own. He didn’t know many of the apprentices, but he knew that every formal disciple could find a place to live outside, just by registering the address with the gang. But with his current status, if he really moved out, many things would be hard to explain. “It seems I must prepare in advance before each cultivation.” Bai Ziyue thought, slowly heading back to his room. As for others discovering he cultivated an External Forging Technique? He wasn’t too worried about that. Martial artists, whether it’s External Forging or Inner Cultivation, as long as they don’t show corresponding strength, others would find it hard to discern their true level. As long as he didn’t reveal that he was already in External Forging within the Sunburst Gang, not even his master, the Sect Leader Liu Dong, who had cultivated Inner Qi, would easily detect his difference. ... In the following days, Bai Ziyue practiced martial techniques like the One-character Punch and the Eighteen Linked Blades at the training ground during the day. At night, he silently stayed in his room, cultivating the Fifth Rank Golden Body External Forging Technique. Over the course of a few days, he felt his progress almost every day. All of his attributes steadily increased. Name: Bai Ziyue Power: 2.23 (Cannot be increased) Speed: 2.02 (Cannot be increased) Physique: 2.27 (Cannot be increased) Spirit: 1.80 (Cannot be increased) Martial Arts: Zen Meditation Posture Perfection (Cannot be increased) Fifth Rank Golden Body (Uninitiated, cannot be increased) Eighteen Linked Blades Minor Success (Can be increased) One-character Punch Great Success (Cannot be increased) Immortal Technique: Purple Qi Divine Observation Technique (Uninitiated, cannot be increased) Soul Energy: 672 “Power, Physique, both increased by more than 0.15, and even Speed finally broke through 2, reaching the same level as Power and Physique. The only unfortunate thing is that the Spirit attribute still hasn’t increased.” Scanning the attribute panel, Bai Ziyue knew that with his current power, facing Liu the Sixth again would be much easier. However, his Qi Blood Pills were finally exhausted on this day. Twelve Qi Blood Pills, equivalent to twelve taels of silver; a few days ago, he never thought he would be this extravagant. “With the Qi Blood Pills gone, to continue cultivating smoothly, I can only use Qi Blood Pills, or configure a medicinal bath according to the instructions in the Fifth Rank Golden Body.” Bai Ziyue’s mind flashed through the medicinal bath recipe mentioned in the Fifth Rank Golden Body. The other ingredients were ordinary; Bai Ziyue estimated he could buy them at a pharmacy, but one main ingredient, as he knew, was extremely valuable and perhaps hard to obtain, even with money. “Tomorrow, I’ll try the effect of Qi Blood Pills. Maybe I’ll be able to complete two or even three External Forging cycles.” Bai Ziyue was eager to try. While Qi Blood Pills were good, two at most would only allow him to complete one External Forging cycle. Qi Blood Pills were evidently better and twice as effective. “Also, tomorrow is my master’s mention of Lord Guardian’s father’s seventieth birthday. I might as well check the pharmacy for the medicinal bath ingredients. Additionally, I need to prepare for the talisman drawing.” As Bai Ziyue lay in bed, he thought silently and soon fell asleep.
