Chapter 66: Xu Yan Achieves Great Success in Qi and Blood, Gains Insight into the Pre-Heaven Realm Cultivation Method

After receiving his master's permission, Xu Yan returned home once again to teach his parents the methods of martial arts cultivation. The foundation of martial arts cultivation naturally began with sensing qi and blood, followed by refining the skin.

For this purpose, he deliberately brought back a nine-leaf primordial ginseng to assist his parents in their cultivation, to help them sense qi and blood.

The core guards of the Xu family were currently composed of the pharmacist Pan and over a dozen guards who could be considered as loyal to the death. These were all secretly cultivated by Xu Junhe.

Pharmacist Pan possessed the strength of a supreme expert in the martial world, while the other dozen or so guards were all top-notch experts.

Moreover, Pan could also refine nourishing medicines.

Since they were core members of the Xu family, Xu Yan also imparted them the methods of martial arts cultivation. Whether they could successfully cultivate and whether they had the talent for it would depend on their own fortune.

Of course, Xu Yan only imparted the methods of refining the skin, bones, and organs, not the qi and blood realm cultivation methods.

The qi and blood realm was too far away for them.

Upon returning to Donghe County, Xu Yan set out again for the capital to impart the cultivation methods to his uncle, cousin, and others.

In Yunshan County, Li Xuan sat leisurely in his chair.

Meng Chong, as always, diligently practiced, and with his cultivation, his physical body's golden bell became stronger, and his bones had been tempered to the stage of iron bones.

Shi Er also came every day to cook, clean, and do odd jobs. He was quick and efficient, making him a good errand runner. Li Xuan decided to impart him the method of refining the skin in martial arts cultivation.

Shi Er was already a supreme expert in the martial world. If he had the talent for martial arts, sensing qi and blood and refining the skin would significantly enhance his strength, and the speed of completing the refinement of the skin would not be too slow.

"Shi Er, come over!"

Li Xuan waved his hand.

"Senior, what do you need?"

Shi Er ran over and bowed, asking.

"You are a smart and diligent person. Since I am entering the secular world for travel, I need someone to run errands and do odd jobs. Are you willing?"

Li Xuan asked with a calm expression.

"Willing, willing, this is a supreme opportunity for me!"

Shi Er was extremely excited and knelt down with a thud.

"Shi Er, I pay my respects to my lord!"

Thump, thump, thump!

"Hmm, get up."

Li Xuan nodded and said, "I will impart you the basic methods of martial arts cultivation. Whether you can enter the path of cultivation depends on your own talent and fortune!"

"Yes, thank you, my lord!"

Shi Er's heart pounded violently.

Finally, he had the chance to become a martial arts expert.

"The primary step in martial arts cultivation is to sense qi and blood, then refine the skin. Today, I will impart you the method of refining the skin. Whether you can enter the path of cultivation depends on your own talent and fortune."

Li Xuan imparted the method of refining the skin to Shi Er. As for the methods of refining the bones and organs, he would impart them after Shi Er could sense qi and blood and complete the refinement of the skin.

"Thank you, my lord!"

Shi Er was extremely excited.

"Go and practice on your own, and find a room to stay in."

Li Xuan waved his hand.

Since Shi Er had become a servant, he naturally had to stay in the courtyard and be responsible for all odd jobs.

"Yes!"

Shi Er respectfully withdrew.

In the capital of the Qi Kingdom, due to Xu Yan's return, Emperor Qi and his ministers once again became cautious, as if a huge mountain was hanging over their heads. This feeling of oppression made Emperor Qi and his ministers even more determined to find martial arts experts.

Only by finding martial arts experts could they remove the mountain hanging over their heads.

After imparting the martial arts cultivation methods, Xu Yan did not immediately return to Donghe County but stayed temporarily at the Qi Prince's residence.

"I am about to achieve great success in the qi and blood realm."

Xu Yan was extremely excited during his cultivation. He was just one step away from achieving great success in the qi and blood realm.

"I have almost comprehended the cultivation method of the pre-heaven realm. I have some ideas, and after achieving great success in the qi and blood realm, it won't take long to fully comprehend it."

After achieving great success in the qi and blood realm, he would be one step closer to the second realm of martial arts, the pre-heaven realm.

"After achieving great success in the qi and blood realm, I will strive to achieve perfection within a month."

Xu Yan set a goal for himself.

Boom!

The qi and blood surged, becoming increasingly vast. The jade bones seemed to shine brightly, and the qi and blood continuously refined and grew. The realm of great success in the qi and blood, where the qi and blood reached a hundred feet, was just within reach.

At a certain moment, the qi and blood seemed to cross a chasm, suddenly surging, and the purity of the qi and blood increased even more. A column of qi and blood shot up, reaching a hundred feet high.

Boom!

Immediately after, the hundred-foot column of qi and blood transformed into a giant red dragon, as if soaring into the sky.

Xu Yan's breakthrough caused quite a stir, and Guo Rongshan and others were all alarmed. Seeing a hundred-foot dragon rise from Xu Yan's courtyard, they were instantly stunned.

"Xu Yan's strength has increased again?"

"Good, good!"

Guo Rongshan and his son were overjoyed.

The Qi Prince's residence was not far from the palace. At this moment, Emperor Qi looked in the direction of the Qi Prince's residence, feeling extremely uneasy. Was the young Xu Yan showing off his strength?

No!

His strength has increased?

At this moment, Emperor Qi felt a sense of urgency and realized he must find a martial arts expert as soon as possible!

In the Eastern Palace, the third prince excitedly ordered, "Quick, prepare the gifts, I must go to pay respects to my teacher!"

The ministers were shocked and, after a round of whipping their idle sons, sent them out to seek experts.

The eldest prince could no longer sit still and, on the same day, led his guards out of the capital to personally seek experts.

On this day, the capital of the Qi Kingdom was destined to be restless, and a new wave of seeking experts would rise.

Meanwhile, Xu Yan, the instigator, was immersed in the joy of his breakthrough, feeling the enhancement of his strength. Only after breaking through did he realize the true might of his master.

"My master once showed me the image of achieving great success in the qi and blood realm. That overwhelming momentum and boundless qi and blood were far stronger than what I have now!"

Xu Yan felt a bit ashamed: "I am still too weak. Even with the jade bones, I am still far behind.

"My master's realm is unfathomable, but the image of achieving great success in the qi and blood realm that he showed me should be what he looked like when he achieved it. In that case, I am far behind.

"No wonder my master always told me to be humble and not arrogant. My strength is still not strong enough."

The more he thought, the more he felt the might of his master.

"Although I am not as strong as my master, I am certainly not weaker than the ancient prodigies, and I might even be stronger. I should not belittle myself!"

Xu Yan encouraged himself.

My master is too strong, a mountain that cannot be surpassed, but as long as I have this belief, I can certainly get closer to my master's height, and perhaps one day, I can reach the same height as my master!

The qi and blood converged, and Xu Yan exhaled.

"I have achieved great success in the qi and blood realm, and the cultivation method of the pre-heaven realm is becoming clearer."

Xu Yan entered the room, sat cross-legged on the bed, exhaled, and his mind gradually became clear, entering a state of self-forgetfulness.

Only the profound insights gradually surfaced in his mind.

The cultivation method of the pre-heaven realm became clearer, slowly forming a thread that connected everything.

How to open the bridge between heaven and earth, how to condense qi and blood into pre-heaven true qi, how to absorb the essence of heaven and earth, and open the dantian and qi sea...

The cultivation method became clearer, and the image of breaking through to the pre-heaven realm, including how to absorb the essence of heaven and earth, seemed to appear in his mind.

"Open the bridge between heaven and earth, sense the essence of heaven and earth, guide the essence into the two bridges, and open the dantian and qi sea..."

Xu Yan's face showed excitement.

The more he comprehended, the more complete the method of the pre-heaven realm became, and the sequence of breaking through and the cultivation process... all appeared in his mind.

"I have finally comprehended the cultivation method of the pre-heaven realm. Once I achieve perfection in the qi and blood realm, I can begin to break through to the pre-heaven realm!"

Xu Yan opened his eyes, his expression filled with excitement.
