Chapter-5: The Blood and Qi pill

" You are going to fight it with all the power you have gained from the training" then there was some more rustling in the nearby bushes.

"Or should I say them"

Two more wolves come out of the bushes. They have a ferocious look on their face, baring their fang like they haven't eat for two days.

"G-grandpa, how am I supposed to be fighting them"

"Obviously with the martial arts you have learnt so far"

"then can I take off my bracers"

"No, and you are not allowed to take off the bracers until it's an emergency"

"This is an emerge-" Then suddenly a wolf jump on me but I luckily dodge it because of Divine senses.

The wolves have surrounded me. with out wasting any time I start circulating the Qi. Two dragons appears at my back. I can now control two dragon since I have broke through the second layer of the The Breath Of Dragon technique.

I controlled the dragons with my fist and attack two of them one after one But the third one attack my arm.

The wound is not too deep because the Asura Body Forming that I activated before hand seeing that I can't dodge this attack.

Then I hit the last wolf with my dragon fist and it also died.

The forest become silent. Tears start coming out from my eyes.

"Grandpa he is dead right? a-and I killed it"

The old man hugged his grandson and said

" No you didn't kill anyone you just save yourself and someone who can be its prey"

The old man brought his grandson and let him rest on his bed.

The next day,

Kuo Fang still hadn't forgotten what happened last night. And it can be seen on his face.

'I guess he still has not overcome from yesterdays incident'

"Hey are you feeling good?"

"Y-yes"

"If you want to you can take a rest for today"

"No, I am fine. I need to become strong. So what am I going to do today"

'huh! hahahaha that the spirit'

"ok! since you have already broke through the first stage of Asura Body Forming you don't need to do any other training just do the bone refining training and you will soon broke the second stage"

"Then are you going to teach me a new technique"

"Yes you are correct. Now tell me what kind of technique you want to learn"

"hmm. When I was fighting with those wolves I can barely dodge them because of my speed so is there any technique that can make me agile"

"Yes there is techniques that can make you agile. It is called Footwork. Now follow me let me show where I have put my other martial arts techniques at"

He bring me to the armoury. then stop in front of a big hammer. From the looks of it would weight two hundred fifty kilogram atleast.

"Grandpa why is this hammer here"

with out answering my questions he pull the hammer towards him. and then suddenly a door open behind the hammer.

"Just as you can see this hammer is a lever for the secret room. now follow me to the next floor"

I went down the stair and reach a room. The room is filled with book shelves. And every book shelves has a sign written about what that martial arts that shelf have.

He brought me to the shelves that written footwork on the signs and told me to chose only one manual.

I took some time choosing the manual I need but atlast I found a manual that caught my eyes. The manual is called Divine lightning steps. This book is not written in any ancient language but I can feel strong aura out from it. I took this book and bring it to my grandpa.

He question me why I chose this book.

I answer him that somehow I can feel that a strong aura is coming out from this book.

'Fair enough. he can feel which technique is strong or weak because of his physique of Satan'

"Since you have chosen the technique Let's get back to the training ground"

In the midday he told me go to the training ground alone he need to bring something from the armoury.

I reach the training ground and After some time he also come.

"Ok before starting the training let me give you a brief information about this technique. This technique may not be the strongest footwork technique but it have the most potential. If you learn this technique seriously you can make more than ten afterimage"

"Wow. It wow be awesome to make afterimage"

Yes. But do that you have to do training. Now wear these bracers on your leg"

"What more bracers"

"Yes. This technique also need you to wear bracers. Now put them on quickly"

He pass me the bracers. The bracers were going to slipped out of my hand. But I was able to hold on them because of the strength I gain from the muscle refinement.

"Grandpa how much this weight"

"A single one weighs twenty Kilogram so in total it's forty kilogram"

"W-what! forty Kilogram? How am I going wear it"

"I don't know. You have wear them to continue your training"

I somehow wear it but I can't pull my legs up

"so what I have to do now"

"It's very simple. you only have to run"

"What! I can't even take a step and you want me to run?"

"Yes, and this time you are not allowed to use Qi. you have to manage it somehow by yourself"

He tell me to start the training. first I slowly rise my foot and take a step but when I put my foot down the ground around my foot shake everytime.

I wasn't being able to run so I have to walk all day. After the training end my grandpa told me to put off my bracers and after I put off my bracers I see that my feet and legs are swollen from the training.

He give me a medicine and tell me to rub that medicine on the swollen area.

After some time we reached home and I realised that the swollen is all gone and there's no pain also.

"Grandpa did you also made this ointment" I asked him because we have a herb garden and everytime I fell sick he always made the medicine my himself.

"Yes"

"Grandpa can you teach me how to make medicine"

"sure"

"Then wait here"

Grandpa goes into his room and a minute or two later he come back. He has five books in his hand. He sit infront of me and put the books on the table.

"To learn about medicine you have to memorize these books"

"A-All five of them!" I am shocked after what he said. Every book is atleast have more that three hundred pages.

"Don't shout like that and you will be able to memorize all off them with you divine sense without any effort"

"Huh! Really?"

"Yes, Now take a look at this book this one is called Fairy herb Scripture"

"In the world there are many herb with the different attributes and have different quality. This book contains the details of the herbs that are easy to find with good quality"

"Now on to the next book. This one is called five elements poison scripture"

"Grandpa is this book about poisons"

"Yes"

"Then why do I need to learn this book"

'He should learn this book since it will help him in future but now he is too much innocent. How should I convince him?"

"Uh-Umm, Y-you should learn this book because it help you sort out the poisonous herbs"

"Yea you are right"

"sigh! Now onto the next book, It is called Longevity medicine manual"

"Is this book about how to make medicine?"

"Yes, with this book you can learn how to make medicine of many deases, Wound etc. Then onto the next book It is called Calamity Poison Making"

"Grandpa-" he cuts me out before saying the word

"Ok listen before asking me anything. This book help you cure someone who has been poisoned much faster because with this book's help you will be able to recognise the poison much faster"

"Oh! I guess you are right"

he looks at the last book and said "This is the last one I guess"

"Yes. And this book is called Heavenly pill forming scripture. Grandpa tell me about this one also"

"Like today you get an external wound from that wolf but when you would fight with someone who has stronger Qi power can break your Demonic body layer and could give you a Internal wound and to cure that wound you need to take pill not some ointment and to make pill you need to learn this technique. So tell me now did you understand everything"

"Yes thank you for the explanation"

"It's okay. Go and wash yourself and then come to eat the dinner"

After I eat my dinner I went to my room and start studying The manual of medicine herb and poison herb.

I am surprised by the memorizing speed with my divine sense. In one night I have memorized both manual completely. And after that I went to sleep.

The next day,

Everyday I wake up in the morning I practice the breath of dragon technique but today I memorize the manual about making medicine and poison completely.

Then after that I went to bathroom and did my breakfast and then went to training ground.

"Let's end today's training. Go and wash yourself"

"have studied the book I gave you?"

"Yes"

"Then after washing yourself come to the living room I will teach you how to make pill"

After washing myself I went to living room. Grandpa is waiting for me with some herbs and a furnace.

"Come and sit infront of me"

"Can you recognise these herb"

I nod

"Then tell me what is the name of these three herbs"

"Yes. The herb on the left is Moon grass, The middle one is Rock ginseng and the herb ont right is The Yang flower"

"You are correct. Now tell me what kind of medicine I can make with these herb"

"It will become a medicine that can stop the pain when you put it on the spot where you have pain"

"Absolutely correct. Now tell me what is this herb called"

He take out a herb from his pocket.

I am shocked and shout " Grandpa isn't that the Snowflake root. That's a very dangerous poison. If someone consume it he will turn into ice and shatter in pieces"

"Yes. And we are going to use these herbs to make a pill"

"What kind of pill are you going to make"

"This pill called Blood and Qi pill. You haven't read the Heavenly pill forming scripture. Right?"

"Yes. I haven't read that book"

"Then let me explain what a pill can do"

He starts explaining about what can a pill do like making one's body stronger, Can be used as a poison or medicine and can be used to surpass the present limit of your body.

"The pill I am going to make can surpass the present limit of your body"

"How would I know that I have hit my body's limit"

"It is when you can't become any more stronger even after doing your training two times harder"

"Then can anyone take this pill to surpass the limit"

"No anyone just can't take this pill because when you consume it. It gives you a shock and if your body can't take that you will be paralyzed for your whole life if you don't die"

"Then how can I consume it?"

"You have to have a strong body to take this pill and to make your body strong you need to go through rigorous training or you have to take body strengthening pill"

"Then what about who become strong by only taking pill"

"Well~ you can become strong by only taking pill but if you consume too much pill it will become poison and this poison doesn't have any cure. so taking too many pill will lead you to a guaranteed death"

"What!"

"Now focus! Learn how to make pill by seeing"

After some time,

"So, Did you get it?"

"Yes"

"Then take a pill and use it"

"Huh! But I don't think that I have reached my limit yet"

"I know I know, But your body is strong enough to take the shock of this pill. So try one"

I ate the pill. It was normal at first but after some time passed my whole body suddenly started feeling immense pain.

But I can handle that much because I have already feel pain much more stronger than this.

And then suddenly the amount of pain increase. It is feeling like someone is breaking my bone one by one and my veins can be seen on my whole body it was like those veins will soon explode.

Then suddenly I feel a shock on my heart. My heart stopped working and my consciousness is slowly fading away.

'Am I going to die?' I ask myself.
