By the time the Marrow Cleansing Pill was completely refined, it was already noon the next day.
Lu Ming didn't sleep the whole night, but he wasn't sleepy at all. Instead, he felt refreshed and full of energy.
The Marrow Cleansing Pill had completely transformed him. His body was stronger than an ordinary young man, and his meridians were no longer blocked. They were full of tenacity and vitality.
However, there were layers of thick filth on his body. They were all excreted impurities. It was sticky and very uncomfortable.
With a thought, Lu Ming returned to his room.
He tiptoed out of the room and found that Li Ping and Qiu Autumn Moon weren't there. They must have gone out to buy groceries.
Lu Ming went to the well in the courtyard and drew water from the well to wash away the filth on his body. He changed into a clean set of clothes and instantly felt refreshed and comfortable.
At this time, Li Ping and Qiu Autumn Moon came back from outside. When they saw Lu Ming, they stared at Lu Ming in surprise.
Now, Lu Ming was full of energy. He was far from his weak and sickly image. No wonder the two were surprised.
"Ming 'er, are your injuries better?" Li Ping carefully looked at Lu Ming and asked.
"Yes, Young Master, you seem to be a little different from before." Qiu Autumn Moon also blinked her big eyes and asked.
Lu Ming smiled and said, "Mother, I don't know why, but after I was injured this time, I cultivated Qi Gathering Technique last night and actually cultivated a strand of Qi. That's why my body is a little better."
"What? Ming 'er, you cultivated Qi? "Hearing this, Li Ping was ecstatic. Tears welled up in her eyes. She was happy.
Lu Ming didn't tell Li Ping about the Temple of Paragon. There was a Divine Level Cultivation Technique inside. If it was spread out, the three of them would be in big trouble.
However, he swallowed the Marrow Cleansing Pill and his body changed. If he didn't explain it, Li Ping and the others would inevitably find it strange.
That was why he revealed that he had cultivated true qi.
"Ming 'er, that's great, that's great." Li Ping's eyes were brimming with tears.
Although he had only cultivated Genuine Qi and could not even be considered an ordinary martial artist, let alone a Blood Meridian Martial Artist, she was still very happy for Lu Ming.
"Young Master, then you have to protect Madam and me in the future." Autumn Moon smiled happily.
After that, Li Ping and Autumn Moon started to cook. Soon, the aroma of the food filled their nostrils.
The three of them happily sat together to eat.
The dishes were simple, one meat dish and two vegetables dish.
"Ming 'er, your injuries haven't healed yet. Eat more meat to replenish your Qi and blood." Li Ping kept putting meat into Lu Ming's bowl.
"Mom, Mid- Autumn Moon, you should eat too," Lu Ming said.
Ever since news of Lu Ming's father, Lu Yuntian's death, the lives of the mother and son in these six years had been getting worse and worse. The allowance given by the clan had also decreased and they rarely had meat to eat.
Even if there was occasionally meat, Li Ping and Autumn Moon would give it to Lu Ming. As for Autumn Moon, she was still growing and her nutrition couldn't keep up. She was a little thin and weak.
A martial artist's cultivation required a large amount of energy, so they were more particular about what they ate.
The martial artists in the Lu Family who had awakened their bloodlines didn't eat ordinary beast meat, but demonic beast meat.
Even those who were more talented would not only consume demonic beast meat, but also demonic beast blood, bone powder, and various precious medicinal ingredients to refine Dragon Tiger Pills.
Dragon Tiger Pills contained strong spiritual essence. Not only could it strengthen a martial artist's muscles, bones, meridians, and organs, it could even be converted into Genuine Qi to aid in cultivation.
Eating like Lu Ming did, the nutrition was far from enough.
"Ming 'er, you've already cultivated Genuine Qi. Eating these dishes is far from enough. Mother has eight Dragon Tiger Pills here, take them and cultivate."
Li Ping carefully took out a bottle and handed it to Lu Ming.
Lu Ming was stunned. He didn't expect Li Ping to take out eight Dragon Tiger Pills. Puzzled, he asked, "Mother, Dragon Tiger Pills cost a hundred taels of silver each. Where did you get that much money?"
"Mother naturally has her ways. Originally, I wanted to buy them for you to strengthen your body. Since you can cultivate Genuine Qi, you can use them." Li Ping smiled.
"Young Master, Madam sold the Dragon Phoenix Bracelet to buy these eight Dragon Tiger Pills." Autumn Moon couldn't bear to watch any longer and added.
"Autumn Moon!" Li Ping called out softly, as if blaming Autumn Moon for talking too much. She said, "Ming 'er, don't worry and cultivate. As long as you can cultivate Genuine Qi and strengthen your body, what is a Dragon Phoenix Bracelet?"
"Mother …"
Lu Ming's nose was a little sour. His hands tightly gripped the bottle of Dragon Tiger Pills.
The Dragon-Phoenix Bracelet was a love token that Lu Yuntian had given to Li Ping in the past. Lu Ming knew how much Li Ping valued the Dragon-Phoenix Bracelet. However, for the sake of Lu Ming's health, Li Ping had sold the Dragon-Phoenix Bracelet.
"Mother, don't worry. I will definitely become strong and use my strength to protect you. I won't let you suffer any more grievances." Lu Ming swore in his heart. His gaze was incomparably resolute.
After the meal, Lu Ming took the Dragon Tiger Pills and returned to his room. He entered the Temple of Paragon.
Once he entered the Temple of Paragon, Lu Ming's gaze landed on the second platform above the ninety-nine steps.
Because there was also a box on the second platform, and it was bronze in color.
In the first black metal box, there was the first level of True Dragon Arts, Flame Dragon Fists, Dragon Snake Steps, and Marrow Cleansing Pills. What was in the second box?
Lu Ming was incomparably curious. He walked towards the stairs.
But when he reached the ninety-ninth step, he wanted to go to the second platform, but he couldn't. There was an invisible force blocking him.
"Is it because my cultivation is not enough?" Lu Ming was helpless. He could only retreat.
Then, he sat down cross-legged and poured out a Dragon Tiger Pill. He swallowed it and began to cultivate.
When Lu Ming swallowed the Dragon Tiger Pill, his spine suddenly heated up. A strong suction force was produced, absorbing all the medicinal energy of the Dragon Tiger Pill. Then, a pure energy surged out from his spine.
"So fast?" Lu Ming was shocked at first, but then he was ecstatic.
An average person would need at least a day to refine a single Dragon Tiger Pill. However, he was able to refine it in an instant.
It was because of the bloodline that hadn't yet grown.
This bloodline that hadn't yet grown was really amazing. Not only did it absorb Heaven Earth Ling Qi at the same speed as a Rank 2 bloodline, but it also had the effect of refining pills quickly.
"Okay, now I'll start to break through the meridians." Then, Lu Ming calmed his mind and started to circulate the 《True Dragon Battle Art》, breaking through the first of the three 'meridians'.
The rolling energy was controlled by Lu Ming and rushed towards the first meridian.
Boom! Boom!
Rumbling sounds seemed to resound in his body. One by one, the meridians were broken through.
When the energy was insufficient, Lu Ming swallowed another Dragon Tiger Pill.
Just like that, when evening came, all eight Dragon Tiger Pills had been consumed. Lu Ming also used the eight Dragon Tiger Pills to successfully break through three 'meridians'.
The Meridian Opening Realm was divided into the early, middle, and late stages.
Breaking through one to three meridians was the early stage of the Meridian Opening Realm. Breaking through four to six meridians was the middle stage.
The Meridian Opening Realm was the foundation of a martial artist. It was also the easiest.
Of course, the ease varied from person to person. An ordinary bloodline martial artist would definitely be able to break through all nine meridians within a month to a year.
But an ordinary martial artist might not be able to break through all nine meridians. Some might not even be able to break through all nine meridians in their lifetime.
But someone like Lu Ming, who broke through three meridians in one afternoon, was extremely rare. If this news were to spread, it would definitely shock everyone.
This was inseparable from the 《True Dragon Battle Art》 and the unique nature of the immature bloodline.
The True Dragon Battle Art was a Divine Level Cultivation Technique. The immature bloodline could even refine pills in an instant, which was why it was able to create such a miracle.
Feeling the True Dragon Battle Qi circulating in the three meridians in his body, Lu Ming was filled with joy and fighting spirit.
After dinner, Lu Ming hurriedly entered the Temple of Paragon and began to cultivate.
Now, he planned to cultivate the martial technique 《Flame Dragon Fist》.
Martial techniques used True Qi to move the muscles and bones of the body to attack.
Different martial techniques, the circulation of True Qi and the movement of the muscles and bones were all different. Therefore, the effects of martial techniques were different, the moves created were also different, and the power was also very different.
Therefore, the control of one's True Qi and the control of one's body was very demanding. Without years of hard work, it would be very difficult to master a martial skill to its peak.
The higher the level of the martial technique, the more difficult it was to control True Qi. The more complicated it was, the more powerful it was.
Lu Ming got into a stance and began to cultivate.
Above him, the chanting of scriptures kept coming out from the palace, making Lu Ming's mind extremely clear. Some of the secrets of 《Flame Dragon Fist》 kept flashing in his mind.
True Qi circulated and flowed into his feet, then moved the bones and muscles of his feet.
"Ha!"
Lu Ming shouted and took a step forward. Power flowed from his feet to his spine. His spine twisted like a dragon, and an even more powerful force flowed from his waist to his hands.
Boom!
Lu Ming threw a punch. His power erupted, causing the air to vibrate and explode.
"Beginner's Insight!" Lu Ming's eyes flashed with surprise.
The cultivation of martial techniques was divided into six levels according to the level of mastery.
First Glimpse at the Door, Minor Accomplishment, Mastery through a comprehensive study, Perfection, Perfection, Unity of Man and Martial Arts.
Six levels, one step at a time. It was very difficult to achieve it overnight. The higher the level of the martial technique, the harder it was to improve.
Lu Ming did not expect that he would be able to reach the first level, Beginner's Insight, the first time he started cultivating 《Flame Dragon Fist》.
This was a low-grade Yellow Rank martial technique. If it was an ordinary person, it would be difficult to reach the Beginner's Insight without a few months of time.
"The chanting of scriptures in the palace is very helpful to my cultivation."
Lu Ming looked at the palace at the end of the stairs and thought.
Lu Ming speculated that the reason why he could cultivate so quickly was because of the chanting of scriptures. Also, his own perception was probably not weak. Since it had such an effect, Lu Ming naturally cultivated even harder.
Without the Dragon Tiger Pills, Lu Ming's speed of opening meridians was greatly reduced.
But after three days, he still managed to open the fourth meridian and entered the middle stage of the Meridian Opening Realm.
And the 《Flame Dragon Fist》
He had even cultivated it to the second level, which was a small success.
But after three days, the blood vessels still did not grow. It was still in the slow process of growth.
With a smile, Lu Ming left the Temple of Paragon and walked out of the room.
The moment he walked out of the room, he saw Qiu Qiu Moon returning with red eyes.
"Young Master, please call Madam back. She has been kneeling in front of the Li Family for a few hours." Qiu Qiu Moon said with a sobbing tone.
"What? What happened? Let's go. "
Lu Ming hurriedly walked out with Qiu Qiu Moon.
On the way, Qiu Qiu Moon told Lu Ming about the situation.
Ever since Li Ping knew that Lu Ming could cultivate True Qi, she was very happy.
However, one needed cultivation methods and martial techniques to cultivate martial arts. Therefore, Li Ping thought of the Lu family's library and wanted to borrow a few cultivation methods and martial techniques for Lu Ming. However, the guardian elder of the Lu family's library was the Chief Elder's subordinate. He dismissed Li Ping by saying that Lu Ming was a good-for-nothing.
Li Ping had no choice but to go to Lu Chuan and the Grand Elder. She even knelt down and begged them, but they still did not give her a single martial skill.
Li Ping, who was at her wits' end, went to the Li Family, hoping to get a cultivation technique or martial skill.
The Li Family was a small family in Fenghuo City. It was Li Ping's mother's family. Currently, Li Ping's elder brother, who was also Lu Ming's uncle, was in charge of the family.
But Lu Ming's uncle rejected Li Ping because Lu Ming was a member of the Lu Family and it was not appropriate for the Li Family to lend cultivation techniques or martial skills to outsiders.
Li Ping had no choice but to kneel in the Li Family's main hall, hoping to get a martial skill.
