In Lu Bu's courtyard, Lu Bu sat quietly on the stone platform, recovering his strength. After studying the killing technique and fighting the Horse Gang, he did not rest. He had discussed the prison with Barbaric Bull and Zhang Xue. He had been warned by the system many times, and even with his abnormal strength, Lu Bu felt tired.
However, it was not without benefits. His combat strength had increased by 4 points in a day, from 61 to 65. It was a huge leap. His intelligence had also increased by 1 point, which was not bad for Lu Bu.
After his combat power reached 65 points, Lu Bu could clearly feel that his pure strength was nearing its limit. Now, as he recovered his strength, he tried to use his mind to circulate the blood in his body.
The concept of martial arts was different from that of the later generations. The Han Dynasty had just experienced the burning of books and the burial of scholars by Qin Shihuang. Many ancient sciences and ancient cultivation methods were lost. During the Han Dynasty, martial arts were in an era of reconstruction. The so-called internal energy was just in its infancy. At that time, martial artists also had the concept of qi. However, in their view, blood was the mother of qi. In order to strengthen qi, they had to strengthen their blood first! After that, he would circulate his qi and use it to drive the circulation of his bloodline.
The more powerful the blood, the more powerful the Qi. The cultivation techniques in the system were based on Qi Refinement. Qi was the commander of blood, and Qi could promote blood circulation. It was much easier than Lu Bu's method of using his mind to control the blood circulation. However, this way, without the powerful blood energy, the amount of Qi would decrease. Although the energy in the blood would become stronger as the cultivation progressed, it was much lower than Lu Bu's method of directly cultivating the blood.
Both had their pros and cons. Lu Bu's direct cultivation of the bloodline had a solid foundation, but it required too much talent. The mind was very mysterious. In modern terms, the mind was mental energy. Ordinary people who had just started cultivating would not have so much mental energy. Moreover, this method of cultivating the blood first and building a good foundation would take too long to take effect. Unless one was as talented as Lu Bu, most ordinary people would have already passed their thirties if they wanted to achieve anything. It was almost impossible for them to advance any further. Even for a top-notch general like Lu Bu, once he cultivated his bloodline to the Xiantian realm, if he did not rely on Qi to circulate his blood, he would not be able to temper his body and extend his lifespan. This was also why many ancient generals were unable to extend their lifespans despite their incredible strength. An ordinary Qi Practitioner could extend their lifespan to around 120 years after reaching the Xiantian realm, while those who cultivated their blood would have the same lifespan as an ordinary person even after reaching the Xiantian realm.
However, once one cultivated blood and fused the strengthened blood with the body, breaking through the restrictions of the Xiantian realm, not only would one's lifespan increase greatly, but their strength would also be several times stronger than those martial artists who broke through to the Xiantian realm through Qi Refinement. It was just that very few people could live until then.
Bean-sized beads of sweat kept pouring out of his forehead. Not only was the blood refinement method difficult to advance, but the process also required unimaginable pain. Just by using one's mind to drive the blood circulation, the feeling of exhausting one's mental power and being unable to think of anything was not something that ordinary people could bear.
"Peng ~" The door was violently opened, and Bull rushed in.
Creak! Fifteen sharp arrows were aimed at Bull, and at the same time, fifteen sharp auras made Bull fall silent in fear.
"My lord is cultivating. No one is allowed to disturb him. Otherwise, he will be killed without mercy!”The leader of the 15 light cavalrymen said coldly.
Barbaric Bull knew that these 15 brothers were not only powerful, but they were also true to their words. If they wanted to kill, no one else could do it except Lu Bu. Barbaric Bull did not want to die in his own territory for no reason. It would be embarrassing if word got out. He immediately became a silent gourd and stood in a corner of the courtyard, quietly watching Lu Bu cultivate.
Seeing that the bull did not say anything more, the fifteen light cavalry soldiers did not say anything else. They continued to protect Lu Bu with cold expressions, like fifteen stone statues.
Lu Bu's expression was one of pain. Bull couldn't imagine that even someone like Lu Bu could feel pain. What kind of pain was that?
Strands of blood mixed with stains flowed out of his pores through his sweat. Some of them stuck to his clothes, while others dripped onto the ground. By now, they had already gathered into a small pool.
Bull stole a glance at Lu Bu. He could feel the heat rising from Lu Bu's head. The air in the courtyard was filled with the smell of blood. Lu Bu's handsome and resolute face seemed to be in great pain, and it was twisted with malevolence.
"Roar ~"
After a long time, Lu Bu suddenly opened his eyes and roared. He pushed his palms forward and pressed them against a small tree.
" Kacha!" The tree, which was as thick as an adult's thigh, snapped at the waist. Bull could clearly see a transparent wave shoot out from Lu Bu's palm. This was the legendary internal energy!？If it hit itself…Bull looked at the jagged fracture and subconsciously swallowed.
"System Notification: Congratulations to player Lu Fengxian, you have successfully comprehended the basic inner force mental cultivation method. Strength 5, reputation 10. As the first player to successfully comprehend inner force, the system has rewarded you with a high-level inner force mental cultivation method-Blood Fiend Battle Technique.”(Internal arts cultivation method levels: Basic, Elementary, Intermediate, Advanced, Top, and Peerless. The levels of internal arts cultivation method only differ in cultivation speed. Even if one cultivates the basic mental cultivation method to a high level, it is not inferior to the Peerless level.)
" Mas…Master…You…" Raging Bull and Lu Bu were using consecutive VIP gaming cabins. Lu Bu could see the information he received and could not help but be stunned. Lu Bu's combat power had risen to 70…On the other hand, Raging Bull, who was reputedly the strongest player within a hundred miles, only had…22 combat power. Forget it, he could not compare to him. Raging Bull had subconsciously treated Lu Bu as an NPC.
"You're here." Lu Bu looked at the bull and took off his clothes. He entered the bathtub that he had prepared beforehand and started to wash. He couldn't help but think back to his first time cultivating. At that time, he had just finished cultivating. He was exhausted and his mouth was dry. However, due to his lack of preparation, he was in a sorry state. The corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up.
This was the first time he had seen Lu Bu's smile. It was a domineering yet gentle smile. Even Man Niu, who was also a man, couldn't help but be stunned. It wasn't that Man Niu had a problem with his sexual orientation. It was just that Lu Bu's gentle, mature, and aged smile was 70% domineering and 30% gentle. It was very lethal. Could this be considered Lu Bu's personal charm? This kind of charm was probably not inferior to Liu Bei's crying martial arts, right?
"What's the matter?" Lu Bu stretched his body comfortably, and his body emitted a burst of popping sounds. He turned to look at Bull and asked,"
"Uh, Master, I was thinking…um…when are you going to teach me kung fu?”Barbaric Bull asked weakly. Although Lu Bu had agreed to it, Barbaric Bull felt a little lacking in confidence when he stood in front of Lu Bu. His voice had unconsciously weakened.
"Your current strength is too low. Go and practice the basic skills I taught you first. In addition, killing techniques are a form of killing intent. From tomorrow onwards, you can go challenge the mountain stronghold.”Lu Bu said irresponsibly, closing his eyes and enjoying himself. To him, a stronghold without discipline and organization was no longer interesting. What he needed was to find a stronger opponent and defeat him. He would break through again and again in battle, and finally stand at the peak of the world and look down on the world!
Err…Bull was speechless. Lu Bu might be a top-notch battle general, but he was definitely not a good teacher. He was too irresponsible. Thinking about it, Lu Bu's martial arts were different from famous generals like Zhao Yun. His martial arts were learned from fighting on the battlefield. He was born to fight. Moreover, he had not studied much. It would be difficult for him to teach his students. It seemed that he had to rely on himself.
After sending Barbaric Bull away, Lu Bu took out the Blood Fiend Combat Technique that he had just obtained. His technique was actually the most basic technique. He wanted to see what was so special about the so-called high-level technique.
The Qi Refinement technique had started to take shape during the Sui and Tang Dynasties. It was very different from Lu Bu's cultivation method. In addition, it was not as unbearable to cultivate as it was in the Han Dynasty. Therefore, the Blood Refinement technique gradually declined with the rise of the Qi Refinement technique. Moreover, the things after the initial stage gradually disappeared in the long river of history. In the end, only the initial Foundation Establishment technique was left. It strengthened the muscles and became a cultivation technique to strengthen the body.
However, the Qi Refinement technique had opened up another path of cultivation for Lu Bu. Although the new theory seemed a little awkward, it was not without reason. With Lu Bu's insight, which was almost at the Xiantian level, he could naturally see the pros and cons at a glance. If this Qi Refinement technique was used in conjunction with his own cultivation technique…
Lu Bu's eyes lit up. From his current perspective, these two completely different techniques complemented each other. Most importantly, Lu Bu was currently in the early stages of the Blood Refinement. If he were to cultivate both techniques at the same time…
At present, Lu Bu's body did not lack Qi, but he lacked the method to circulate Qi. During the 400 years of the Han Dynasty, there were many masters and disciples who had tried to find a method to circulate Qi, but the results were not satisfactory. Many geniuses died because of Qi deviation. Unless they could break through to the Xiantian realm, it was impossible for them to circulate Qi. This had almost become an iron law among the martial artists of the Han Dynasty.
He did not expect that he would have the chance to break through to the late Xiantian realm in his lifetime! One could imagine the excitement in Lu Bu's heart. The Blood Refinement technique could double one's lifespan, which was much longer than the 150 lifespan of a cultivator who had broken through to the late Xiantian realm. Who wouldn't want to live longer?
