29 Getting There and Breaking Through
"Duke, please stay."
Lu Xuan turned around, and this woman was the same young girl who had a chance to meet not long ago.
"What is it?" Lu Xuan knew that the old man and the young woman had secretly followed him all the way behind, but still pretended to be ignorant.
"The scene just now at the Hong Clan's Chamber of Commerce, the young lady just happened to see it." Hong Ling handed over the cloth bag containing the Spirit Rhino Wood and the Cyanogen Fruit.
"Without merit, what do you want?" Lu Xuan suddenly became clear and said.
"Little girl feels that it is obviously inappropriate for a gentleman with his great talent to succumb to the small city of Tianwu City, so why don't you follow me to the imperial capital, where there is a wider world for you to show off your skills."
Hong Ling was born in a royal family, and although she was a forthright character, she was still very reliable when it came to critical moments.
An official speech, saying the right thing.
"You want to buy me off with this object alone? The girl is not a bit whimsical."
Lu Xuan shook his head.
This girl was not deeply involved in the world, and really wasn't proficient in the means of dealing with people.
At this time, one should not single-handedly and directly make a request for recruitment, instead, it was best to take a roundabout approach and subconsciously bring people together.
Rashly showing goodwill would easily backfire.
"Uh, well..."
As expected, Hong Ling was instantly stuck.
"Just, I'll take these two items for now, of course I won't let you guys lose out." As he spoke, Lu Xuan took out a pen and paper from the Xuanhuang Pearl and mimeographed down the complete version of the Eight Extremities Fist Outline in a couple of strokes.
Hong Ling was a bit startled as she held this book of merit.
Her purpose wasn't as simple as taking the technique.
She was trying to befriend Lu Xuan, a strange man, and as for the question of merit, when the two became acquainted, what merit would she need that wasn't there!
"That, that..." Hong Ling still tried to say something.
Lu Xuan waved a large hand and said, "I know exactly what you're thinking, except that Lu is a cloth-clothed man who prefers to live a life of idleness."
"The matter of recruitment, don't mention it again."
"As for the problem of the Xuan Frost Strength, Lu Xuan will personally visit you some other day and help you root out the problem, how about it?"
Hong Ling's eyes brightened, although recruiting was not possible, but being able to cure the root of grandfather's illness, and also pull together a wave of relationships, why not in one fell swoop.
Immediately taking out a token and slipping it into Lu Xuan's hand, she said, "This is a token of our Hong Family, and the Immortal Guest House in the city is also one of our industries, if you need something, you can go to the Immortal Guest House and find us."
Lu Xuan intoned slightly for a moment, the young girl in front of him and the old man from before were clearly not ordinary people.
If they befriended each other as equals, they might even be able to gain some benefits.
With this thought in mind, Lu Xuan did not refuse and took the token.
"Half a year long, half a month short. Lu will definitely come to visit."
Upon hearing that, Hong Ling nodded excitedly.
With that, she was able to go back and turn in her work.
After seeing Lu Xuan return to his cave, Hong Ling quickly returned to among the Immortal Guest House, where Hong Zhennan was currently sitting on the top floor of the Immortal Guest House, gently siping fragrant tea.
He appeared to be light-hearted, but he was actually very anxious.
"This girl Hong Ling is reckless in nature, I don't know if she will upset that person this time over."
Thinking so, Hong Zhennan sighed worriedly.
And at that moment, Hong Ling returned.
Hong Zhennan even asked, " Hong Ling is back, what did that person say."
Hong Ling smiled, "Everything is in order, it's half a year long or half a month short, he will personally come over to the Immortal Guest House and help grandpa with his illness."
Hong Ling repeated what Lu Xuan had said.
"Fine, fine!" Hong Zhennan was overjoyed and laughed three times at the heavens.
With this person's help, he might be able to step into the legendary Earth Life Realm and become a great master of the generation!
Even if there's only a glimmer of hope, it's better than sitting around and waiting to die!
"Then grandpa, do I still have to practice the Xuan Frost Strength?"
The dangers of the Xuan Frost Strength had already been stated by Lu Xuan, so Hong Ling naturally didn't want to practice this harmful technique anymore.
"There's no need for you, Ling'er, to practice the technique that the high person gave you."
Hong Zhennan took it for granted.
As for putting this merit method up for auction?
He hadn't even thought about it.
Not to mention that he didn't lack that money at all, a technique that allowed one to cultivate the True Qi Outward Bound realm ahead of time would definitely set off huge waves when it was spread out.
Even Hong Zhennan didn't dare to take such a risk.
All he could do now was to wait.
Meanwhile, after Lu Xuan returned to the cave, he didn't stop.
When he arrived at the alchemy room, he placed more than ten medicinal herbs on the table in different categories.
At the same time, he took out a bottle of bright red liquid and a green glowing, fist-sized fruit.
It was the Blood Jiao Essence Blood and Cyanogen Fruit that Lu Xuan had obtained through various means.
"After all this time, we've finally gotten all the materials together."
The Blood Jiao Essence Blood was too dense to be completely refined by Lu Xuan's current cultivation alone, and it was even more likely that it would burst into flames if it was forcefully refined.
Therefore, the best way was to refine it into pills.
Take it one pill at a time and progress gradually.
However, if the Blood Jiao Essence Blood was to be used as the medicine, there was still another side medicine that complemented it, the Cyanogen Fruit.
After a series of twists and turns, Lu Xuan had finally gathered all the required materials.
"The pill furnace here is still adequate, so there is no need to purchase another."
The cave's alchemy room housed a half-human tall pill furnace with an inscription burned underneath, connected to an earth fire.
This would minimize the loss of the alchemist's true Qi.
With everything ready, Lu Xuan's arms shook, and a blazing fire ignited at the bottom of the furnace.
As a strain of spiritual medicine was put in.
A fresh medicinal fragrance permeated the alchemy room.
One day, two days, three days....
On the fifth day, Lu Xuan opened his blood-covered eyes and cupped his hands with a spell.
Dozens of rounded pills with demonic red manes flew into his palm.
"Not bad, this furnace has actually refined into forty blood pills."
But the power of qi and blood it contained was dozens of times that of ordinary beast blood!
Lu Xuan didn't stop there, seizing the time to recover his true qi, striving to return his state to its peak in the shortest possible time.
Two days later.
Lu Xuan officially began to cultivate the legendary Heavenly Forging Technique, "Moving Blood".
Silently circulating his mind, he simultaneously grabbed a handful of blood pills and swallowed them in one gulp like chewing a candy bean.
A violent force of qi and blood instantly flowed from the meridians to the limbs.
Through this huge force of qi and blood, Lu Xuan began to impact the thirty-first meridian.
The thirty-first meridian succeeded in opening up.
The thirty-second meridian opened up successfully.
.....
With each meridian opened, Lu Xuan had to experience inhuman pain, like using a blunt knife to slowly slice through flesh.
But he didn't utter a word, his face as normal.
With great willpower, he forcefully struck the first bottleneck of the Moving Blood Chapter.
Eventually, a hundred rivers became a sea, and countless blood qi gathered together, all blasting at the thin layer of the bottleneck.
The first part of "The Moving of Blood" has been broken!
