"What happened?"
In the inn, the innkeeper heard the wails coming from next door and was puzzled."It sounds like the cry of the Mystic Tiger."
"I don't know."
Lao Bai also heard the sound, but he didn't take it to heart. Since Su Xuan was at home, Mystic Tiger would definitely be fine, so he didn't go and check.
In the evening, when Su Xuan brought the Black Tiger into the inn, everyone was stunned.
"Oh my god, what's going on?”
Tong Xiangyu rushed forward and hugged Mystic Tiger's head to check his injuries.
"It's fine. It's just a small wound. It'll be fine in two days.”
Su Xuan chuckled.
"What happened?"
She said angrily as she gently rubbed the blood clots on the Mystic Tiger's body. The latter looked aggrieved as he snuggled into her embrace. He didn't forget to secretly point at Su Xuan, who was drinking tea, with his claws.
"Little Su called you?"
"Little Su, why did you hit Mystic Tiger for no reason?" The shopkeeper frowned.”
"Aren't I teaching it martial arts?”
"Who doesn't suffer a little when practicing martial arts? Besides, it's just a small wound," he explained.”
"Even so, you can't beat them up until they're bruised everywhere.”
Upon hearing Tong Xiangyu's words, Mystic Tiger actually started sobbing.
"I really admire you. You're already so free that you're teaching a tiger martial arts.”
Lao Bai gave him a thumbs up.
Su Xuan's face darkened as he shouted towards the kitchen,""Big mouth, add more meat for the Mystic Tiger tonight.”
When this fellow heard that he wanted to add meat, he immediately didn't feel wronged. He used his swollen paws to crawl straight into the kitchen.
Not long after, he began to chew on a large basin of raw mutton with blood in his mouth.
After dinner, Su Xuan brought Mystic Tiger back to the residence. He started a fire to boil water and boiled a large bucket of medicine.
"You must soak until the water is cold before coming out, do you hear me?”
"Don't sneak out early," he said.”
Mystic Tiger nodded and lay obediently in the wooden bucket. He rested his head on the side of the bucket and dozed off in boredom.
From then on, the Mystic Tiger's howls would be heard from the Su residence every day. Together with a large amount of raw meat and medicinal baths, it would heal its injuries and replenish its qi and blood.
This guy's strength had almost skyrocketed. He didn't grow much, but his palm power was getting stronger and stronger, and his body was getting heavier and heavier.
Every two to three days, after Mystic Tiger adapted to his current strength, the wooden stick in his hand would increase a little.
It continuously stimulated its skin and muscles, knocked on its bones, and cleansed its body with true energy.
In just half a month, he could send a 5000 jin rock three feet away with a single slap.
When the cudgel landed on his body, it stopped barking. His pair of palm-leaf-fan-sized palms waved in a rather orderly manner.
"In the next half a month, you can cultivate on your own. I'm going into seclusion for a period of time.”
A month later at night, he said to Mystic Tiger, who was soaking in a medicinal bath in a wooden bucket.
The latter nodded obediently.
Returning to the third floor of the small building, he sat cross-legged on the bed and circulated his inner breath to nourish his spirit. When he was complete, he mobilized all his mind and recalled the mantra of the first stage of the Vajra Dragon Elephant Technique.
The so-called blood refinement required one to first nourish the blood, using the essence of the entire body to nourish the heart blood, and then using the blood to nourish the body and strengthen it.
The first thing he had to do was to infuse his entire body's essence into his heart and blood. He had to calm down and slowly circulate the mantra.
He mobilized the blood in his limbs and meridians and circulated them quickly. In an instant, an uncomfortable feeling surged into his heart.
His heart beat violently, and as his blood flow increased, his muscles began to expand and contract rapidly.
This process was extremely painful, as if he was suffocating. He felt dizzy and his temples were throbbing.
When his blood and Qi increased to a certain speed, it would produce a suction force that would absorb Essence Qi and nutrients from his flesh, bones, and meridians.
The essence and nutrients merged with the blood and condensed without dispersing. However, the flesh and blood that had their essence extracted began to wither slowly.
To be reborn, one must first destroy. Only by demolishing the original house could a taller and bigger house be built.
If he wanted to cultivate the Vajra Dragon Elephant Art, he had to destroy his indestructible body and condense all the essence and nutrients in his body into his blood.
The Indestructible Body of Vajra was the limit of the Nine-Layered Golden Bell Shield. There was no way to go beyond it.
At dawn, Su Xuan woke up from his cultivation. His blood flow was normal, and his muscles were no longer bulging.
He rested for half a day and waited for Lao Bai to bring him lunch. After eating, he continued to cultivate the Vajra Dragon Elephant Technique. The Qi and blood in his body became weaker and weaker.
As time passed, his face began to age, as if his life force was rapidly flowing away.
Other people would become stronger and younger the more they practiced, but Su Xuan was the opposite. The more he practiced, the weaker and older he became.
However, he had no intention of stopping. Half a month passed in the blink of an eye.
Su
Xuan woke up in the small building and walked to the bronze mirror. He looked at himself in the mirror and saw that he had aged from his twenties to his forties. His body was slightly thin, and even his long robe couldn't hold up.
His skin was wrinkled, and a few strands of white hair had appeared on his black hair.
He closed his eyes and sensed that 50% of his Essence Qi had already been fused with his heart blood. With another 50%, he would be able to complete the first level of Lava Blood cultivation.
"Dong, dong, dong."
Someone was knocking on the door outside, followed by Tong Xiangyu's voice."Little Su, have you finished practicing? Old White and I have brought you some food.”
"Come in."
As Su Xuan spoke, the door was pushed open and Tong Xiangyu walked in. Her gaze landed on him with a look of disbelief.
"Are you Little Su?"
Her tone was filled with uncertainty. Although she had heard Lao Bai say it many times, she never believed it. However, when she saw Su Xuan's gaze with her own eyes, her heart felt a little sour.
"What, Sister Xiangyu can't recognize me?”
Su Xuan said with a smile. He wasn't dejected because of his aging appearance. His temper was still the same.
"What kind of martial arts are you practicing? The more you practice, the older you get. Why don't we stop practicing?”
She put down the food box and said worriedly,""If I continue practicing, I will be in my seventies or eighties. What's the use of practicing such martial arts?”
"Sister Xiangyu is right.”
He said,"The more I practice this martial art, the older I get. The more I practice, the weaker I become. In the end, my essence, blood, and energy will all be gone. At that time, I will also look like I'm a hundred years old."”
"Why are you still practicing such an evil martial art?”
Tong Xiangyu was anxious.
"This is called destruction before establishment. It's the Dao of Yin and Yang.”
Su Xuan explained,"Only by plunging oneself into a land of death can one break out of the cocoon and transform into a butterfly.
With his heart's blood as the foundation, the reconstructed body would be reborn and stronger than the Indestructible Body of Vajra.”
The shopkeeper was confused, but Lao Bai seemed to understand a little. He frowned and said,"Will it be very risky?"
"Yes."
He nodded."But it's worth taking the risk. When you practice martial arts and wander the Jianghu, you're least afraid of taking risks.
However, if you want to learn this skill, it will take at least three to five months, or at most a year and a half. I will have to trouble you to deliver food every day.”
"This is a small matter.”
Bai Zhantang shook his head.
"The other brothers can't help, but it's not a problem to send some food.”
After lunch, he rested for the afternoon and took the time to teach the Mystic Tiger how to knock on the door with force, as well as to help it cleanse its body with true energy.
Then, a strange scene appeared. In the room, there were two large wooden barrels. In one of the wooden barrels, there was a black tiger lying on the ground, and in the other wooden barrel, there was a person sitting.
The later he went, the slower he condensed his blood essence. After another half a month, he had only condensed 30% of his blood essence.
His face had aged to the age of 60, and his body was getting thinner and thinner. He was no longer tall and straight, but slightly hunched.
After that, Lao Bai decided to move into the small building at night. Every day, he would travel between the inn and the manor, delivering food, purchasing medicinal herbs, brewing potions, and even guarding Su Xuan at night.
He had personally witnessed Su Xuan's transformation from a twenty-something-year-old man with a tall and straight body and a creamy face to an old man with gray hair and a face full of wrinkles.
Three months later
,
the skinny Su Xuan sat cross-legged in the wooden barrel. Lao Bai kept adding medicine to the pot while the fire in the stove burned brightly.
He poured the entire pot of medicine into the wooden bucket and immediately started to boil the second pot.
He added firewood and poured all kinds of precious herbs into the pot. He looked at the skinny old man and said worriedly,"Little Su, do you still want to continue condensing your Vitality?”
"I want more."
"Yes," Su Xuan replied."I'm only 10% away from entering the Nirvana Realm and starting to dissolve my blood.”
"What if I can't hold on?"
Old White continued, but his meaning was obvious.
"Moreover, your current physical body is extremely weak. If you continue to use strong medicine, I'm afraid it will backfire.”
"I'm not afraid,"
Su Xuan said firmly. He closed his eyes and circulated the zhenqi in his body to absorb the medicinal effects. In just a few breaths, he had dried up and his skin that was sticking to his bones bulged, making him look exceptionally strange.
The skin on his entire body was about to be torn apart. He endured the pain and circulated the Vajra Dragon Elephant Technique.
It increased the flow of blood and quickly extracted the medicinal power in his body, turning it into essence energy and nourishment to nourish his heart and blood.
At Tongfu Inn, after Tong Yu and the others had dinner and cleaned up the restaurant, they locked the door and headed to the Su residence.
Lao Bai had mentioned in advance that Su Xuan's cultivation would enter the final and most dangerous stage.
Therefore, the shopkeeper wanted to help. Even if he didn't have martial arts, at least he had eyes, ears, and a mouth.
It was not a problem for him to send a message.
The cold wind was bone-piercing. It hadn't snowed for the first time this year, but the weather was very cold.
In the courtyard, there were withered leaves everywhere, covered in a fine layer of milky white frost.
Below the small building, the mighty and majestic Mystic Tiger was lying in front of the hall. Its body was almost ten feet long, and its limbs were as thick as tree trunks. Its head was the size of a millstone, and its claws were as long as daggers. It was extremely sharp and could even tear through steel armor.
His strength was also ridiculously great. A stone weighing ten thousand jin could be slapped more than ten zhang away.
Seeing Tong Xiangyu and the others enter, the Mystic Tiger's eyes were filled with joy, but it did not move. Mo Xiaobei jogged over and lay on the Mystic Tiger's back, playing with it.
Big Mouth started the fire in the furnace. The shopkeeper took out a few quilts from the guest room in the backyard and spread them on the rooms on the first and second floor, preparing to spend the night here. "What happened?"
In the inn, the innkeeper heard the wails coming from next door and was puzzled."It sounds like the cry of the Mystic Tiger."
"I don't know."
Lao Bai also heard the sound, but he didn't take it to heart. Since Su Xuan was at home, Mystic Tiger would definitely be fine, so he didn't go and check.

He poured the entire pot of medicine into the wooden bucket and immediately started to boil the second pot.
He added firewood and poured all kinds of precious herbs into the pot. He looked at the skinny old man and said worriedly,"Little Su, do you still want to continue condensing your Vitality?”
"I want more."
"Yes," Su Xuan replied."I'm only 10% away from entering the Nirvana Realm and starting to dissolve my blood.”
"What if I can't hold on?"
Old White continued, but his meaning was obvious.
"Moreover, your current physical body is extremely weak. If you continue to use strong medicine, I'm afraid it will backfire.”
"I'm not afraid,"
Su Xuan said firmly. He closed his eyes and circulated the zhenqi in his body to absorb the medicinal effects. In just a few breaths, he had dried up and his skin that was sticking to his bones bulged, making him look exceptionally strange.
The skin on his entire body was about to be torn apart. He endured the pain and circulated the Vajra Dragon Elephant Technique.
It increased the flow of blood and quickly extracted the medicinal power in his body, turning it into essence energy and nourishment to nourish his heart and blood.
At Tongfu Inn, after Tong Yu and the others had dinner and cleaned up the restaurant, they locked the door and headed to the Su residence.
Lao Bai had mentioned in advance that Su Xuan's cultivation would enter the final and most dangerous stage.
Therefore, the shopkeeper wanted to help. Even if he didn't have martial arts, at least he had eyes, ears, and a mouth.
It was not a problem for him to send a message.
The cold wind was bone-piercing. It hadn't snowed for the first time this year, but the weather was very cold.
In the courtyard, there were withered leaves everywhere, covered in a fine layer of milky white frost.
Below the small building, the mighty and majestic Mystic Tiger was lying in front of the hall. Its body was almost ten feet long, and its limbs were as thick as tree trunks. Its head was the size of a millstone, and its claws were as long as daggers. It was extremely sharp and could even tear through steel armor.
His strength was also ridiculously great. A stone weighing ten thousand jin could be slapped more than ten zhang away.
Seeing Tong Xiangyu and the others enter, the Mystic Tiger's eyes were filled with joy, but it did not move. Mo Xiaobei jogged over and lay on the Mystic Tiger's back, playing with it.
Big Mouth started the fire in the furnace. The shopkeeper took out a few quilts from the guest room in the backyard and spread them on the rooms on the first and second floor, preparing to spend the night here. "What happened?"
In the inn, the innkeeper heard the wails coming from next door and was puzzled."It sounds like the cry of the Mystic Tiger."
"I don't know."
Lao Bai also heard the sound, but he didn't take it to heart. Since Su Xuan was at home, Mystic Tiger would definitely be fine, so he didn't go and check.
In the evening, when Su Xuan brought the Black Tiger into the inn, everyone was stunned.
"Oh my god, what's going on?”
Tong Xiangyu rushed forward and hugged Mystic Tiger's head to check his injuries.
"It's fine. It's just a small wound. It'll be fine in two days.”
Su Xuan chuckled.
"What happened?"
She said angrily as she gently rubbed the blood clots on the Mystic Tiger's body. The latter looked aggrieved as he snuggled into her embrace. He didn't forget to secretly point at Su Xuan, who was drinking tea, with his claws.
"Little Su called you?"
"Little Su, why did you hit Mystic Tiger for no reason?" The shopkeeper frowned.”
"Aren't I teaching it martial arts?”
"Who doesn't suffer a little when practicing martial arts? Besides, it's just a small wound," he explained.”
"Even so, you can't beat them up until they're bruised everywhere.”
Upon hearing Tong Xiangyu's words, Mystic Tiger actually started sobbing.
"I really admire you. You're already so free that you're teaching a tiger martial arts.”
Lao Bai gave him a thumbs up.
Su Xuan's face darkened as he shouted towards the kitchen,""Big mouth, add more meat for the Mystic Tiger tonight.”
When this fellow heard that he wanted to add meat, he immediately didn't feel wronged. He used his swollen paws to crawl straight into the kitchen.
Not long after, he began to chew on a large basin of raw mutton with blood in his mouth.
After dinner, Su Xuan brought Mystic Tiger back to the residence. He started a fire to boil water and boiled a large bucket of medicine.
"You must soak until the water is cold before coming out, do you hear me?”
"Don't sneak out early," he said.”
Mystic Tiger nodded and lay obediently in the wooden bucket. He rested his head on the side of the bucket and dozed off in boredom.
From then on, the Mystic Tiger's howls would be heard from the Su residence every day. Together with a large amount of raw meat and medicinal baths, it would heal its injuries and replenish its qi and blood.
This guy's strength had almost skyrocketed. He didn't grow much, but his palm power was getting stronger and stronger, and his body was getting heavier and heavier.
Every two to three days, after Mystic Tiger adapted to his current strength, the wooden stick in his hand would increase a little.
It continuously stimulated its skin and muscles, knocked on its bones, and cleansed its body with true energy.
In just half a month, he could send a 5000 jin rock three feet away with a single slap.
When the cudgel landed on his body, it stopped barking. His pair of palm-leaf-fan-sized palms waved in a rather orderly manner.
"In the next half a month, you can cultivate on your own. I'm going into seclusion for a period of time.”
A month later at night, he said to Mystic Tiger, who was soaking in a medicinal bath in a wooden bucket.
The latter nodded obediently.
Returning to the third floor of the small building, he sat cross-legged on the bed and circulated his inner breath to nourish his spirit. When he was complete, he mobilized all his mind and recalled the mantra of the first stage of the Vajra Dragon Elephant Technique.
The so-called blood refinement required one to first nourish the blood, using the essence of the entire body to nourish the heart blood, and then using the blood to nourish the body and strengthen it.
The first thing he had to do was to infuse his entire body's essence into his heart and blood. He had to calm down and slowly circulate the mantra.
He mobilized the blood in his limbs and meridians and circulated them quickly. In an instant, an uncomfortable feeling surged into his heart.
His heart beat violently, and as his blood flow increased, his muscles began to expand and contract rapidly.
This process was extremely painful, as if he was suffocating. He felt dizzy and his temples were throbbing.
When his blood and Qi increased to a certain speed, it would produce a suction force that would absorb Essence Qi and nutrients from his flesh, bones, and meridians.
The essence and nutrients merged with the blood and condensed without dispersing. However, the flesh and blood that had their essence extracted began to wither slowly.
To be reborn, one must first destroy. Only by demolishing the original house could a taller and bigger house be built.
If he wanted to cultivate the Vajra Dragon Elephant Art, he had to destroy his indestructible body and condense all the essence and nutrients in his body into his blood.
The Indestructible Body of Vajra was the limit of the Nine-Layered Golden Bell Shield. There was no way to go beyond it.
At dawn, Su Xuan woke up from his cultivation. His blood flow was normal, and his muscles were no longer bulging.
He rested for half a day and waited for Lao Bai to bring him lunch. After eating, he continued to cultivate the Vajra Dragon Elephant Technique. The Qi and blood in his body became weaker and weaker.
As time passed, his face began to age, as if his life force was rapidly flowing away.
Other people would become stronger and younger the more they practiced, but Su Xuan was the opposite. The more he practiced, the weaker and older he became.
However, he had no intention of stopping. Half a month passed in the blink of an eye.
Su
Xuan woke up in the small building and walked to the bronze mirror. He looked at himself in the mirror and saw that he had aged from his twenties to his forties. His body was slightly thin, and even his long robe couldn't hold up.
His skin was wrinkled, and a few strands of white hair had appeared on his black hair.
He closed his eyes and sensed that 50% of his Essence Qi had already been fused with his heart blood. With another 50%, he would be able to complete the first level of Lava Blood cultivation.
"Dong, dong, dong."
Someone was knocking on the door outside, followed by Tong Xiangyu's voice."Little Su, have you finished practicing? Old White and I have brought you some food.”
"Come in."
As Su Xuan spoke, the door was pushed open and Tong Xiangyu walked in. Her gaze landed on him with a look of disbelief.
"Are you Little Su?"
Her tone was filled with uncertainty. Although she had heard Lao Bai say it many times, she never believed it. However, when she saw Su Xuan's gaze with her own eyes, her heart felt a little sour.
"What, Sister Xiangyu can't recognize me?”
Su Xuan said with a smile. He wasn't dejected because of his aging appearance. His temper was still the same.
"What kind of martial arts are you practicing? The more you practice, the older you get. Why don't we stop practicing?”
She put down the food box and said worriedly,""If I continue practicing, I will be in my seventies or eighties. What's the use of practicing such martial arts?”
"Sister Xiangyu is right.”
He said,"The more I practice this martial art, the older I get. The more I practice, the weaker I become. In the end, my essence, blood, and energy will all be gone. At that time, I will also look like I'm a hundred years old."”
"Why are you still practicing such an evil martial art?”
Tong Xiangyu was anxious.
"This is called destruction before establishment. It's the Dao of Yin and Yang.”
Su Xuan explained,"Only by plunging oneself into a land of death can one break out of the cocoon and transform into a butterfly.
With his heart's blood as the foundation, the reconstructed body would be reborn and stronger than the Indestructible Body of Vajra.”
The shopkeeper was confused, but Lao Bai seemed to understand a little. He frowned and said,"Will it be very risky?"
"Yes."
He nodded."But it's worth taking the risk. When you practice martial arts and wander the Jianghu, you're least afraid of taking risks.
However, if you want to learn this skill, it will take at least three to five months, or at most a year and a half. I will have to trouble you to deliver food every day.”
"This is a small matter.”
Bai Zhantang shook his head.
"The other brothers can't help, but it's not a problem to send some food.”
After lunch, he rested for the afternoon and took the time to teach the Mystic Tiger how to knock on the door with force, as well as to help it cleanse its body with true energy.
Then, a strange scene appeared. In the room, there were two large wooden barrels. In one of the wooden barrels, there was a black tiger lying on the ground, and in the other wooden barrel, there was a person sitting.
The later he went, the slower he condensed his blood essence. After another half a month, he had only condensed 30% of his blood essence.
His face had aged to the age of 60, and his body was getting thinner and thinner. He was no longer tall and straight, but slightly hunched.
After that, Lao Bai decided to move into the small building at night. Every day, he would travel between the inn and the manor, delivering food, purchasing medicinal herbs, brewing potions, and even guarding Su Xuan at night.
He had personally witnessed Su Xuan's transformation from a twenty-something-year-old man with a tall and straight body and a creamy face to an old man with gray hair and a face full of wrinkles.
Three months later
