Although the Lian tribal clan was located in the wilderness, and the living conditions were harsh, the Lian tribal clan had a place rich in herbs. That was the Lian Clan Herb Mountain!
The Lian Clan Herb Mountain's Heaven Earth Yuan Qi was slightly thicker, so it could breed herbs. It could barely be considered a wonderland.
Although it was said to be a wonderland, it was only relative to the impoverished Lian tribal clan. If it was placed in a large tribe, the Lian Clan Herb Mountain would not be worth looking at. In the vast wilderness, there were many places with rich Heaven Earth Yuan Qi.
A large tribe would usually choose a place with good feng shui to establish themselves. Such a place was rich in resources, and it was beneficial for warriors' cultivation.
Most importantly, for some unknown reason, powerful desolate beasts and wild beasts did not want to go near these "wonderlands". This provided the tribe's residents with an extremely important safeguard.
Of course, occasionally, there would be some injured or enraged desolate beasts that would charge recklessly, completely wiping out some small tribes.
However, everything had its pros and cons. While the spiritual land isolated most of the desolate beasts and wild beasts, it also made the animals near the spiritual land extremely rare. It was not easy to hunt for prey. Occasionally, there would be a few rabbits and roe deer, but they had long been caught clean.
So under normal circumstances, only Purple Blood warriors had the ability to venture deep into the vast wilderness to hunt.
The wonderlands in the vast wilderness were a highly sought after resource. The Lian tribal clan's herb mountain was one of the lowest grade, or else how could the Lian tribal clan keep it?
Although the herb mountain's grade was low, it was a treasure to the Lian tribal clan. It was the foundation of their tribe.
Every time the villagers went up the mountain to pick herbs, they would be searched to prevent anyone from secretly hiding herbs.
Yi Yun carried the herb basket and walked alongside Jiang Xiaorou. He had just asked Jiang Xiaorou about the realm of martial arts cultivation.
The lowest level of martial arts cultivation was called Mortal Blood. Warriors with Mortal Blood cultivation were called Mortal Blood warriors.
Mortal Blood was not a specific realm, it was just a general term for martial arts practitioners.
Mortal Blood was the blood of mortals. To put it bluntly, a Mortal Blood warrior was a mortal warrior. Although they practiced martial arts, they were not completely different from mortals. They were inseparable from the word "mortal".
However, Mortal Blood warriors were much stronger than normal people. They could tear tigers and leopards apart and run like galloping horses.
The Mortal Blood realm was split into five levels. The first level was Valiant, the second was Long Qi, the third was Thunderous, the fourth was Meridians, and the fifth was Qi Gatherer.
The first level of Valiance was when a martial artist trained in martial arts. Through continuous lifting, running, piling, fighting, supplemented by ginseng, deer antler, and beast meat, one could slowly improve one's physical fitness, greatly increasing one's strength and speed!
Yi Yun's current level was Valiant. His strength had increased to about 150 pounds, and his speed was twice that of Zhao Tiezhu's. In this aspect, Yi Yun was much stronger than a typical warrior. After all, he was only eleven or twelve years old, but his physique was comparable to a strong man.
Valiance was not even the beginning of martial arts.
Mortal Blood Level 2's Long Breath refers to a martial artist whose body's quality has greatly improved. Their Long Breath refers to the fact that after a martial artist's body's quality has greatly improved, their Qi will become longer and longer. If one's Long Breath is trained to the extreme, one's Qi will become like a snake, and one's Qi will become like an arrow. This is the so-called "Breath in like a snake, Breath out like an arrow". This is most obvious during the winter, and the Qi arrow can travel four to five feet, even piercing through paper!
Moreover, the heartbeat of an Elder of Vigor realm warrior was only a third of that of an ordinary person's. However, the amount of blood that was pumped into their veins was much longer. Even if a warrior like this chased after a thousand-li horse for an hour, his face would not turn red, and his heart would not palpitate.
The third level of thunder referred to the integration of the physical body. The skin, flesh, tendons, and bones would all become extremely sturdy. Every part of the body would be able to cooperate perfectly. When not moving, one would be like a dormant venomous snake. When moving, one would be like a lion pouncing on a rabbit.
A warrior in the Thunderous realm had a large body. Once he used all his strength, the joints in his body would emit a faint sound of thunder. This was how the name Thunderous came about.
The fourth level of meridians referred to the opening of the body's twelve meridians and the Ren and Du meridians. After this level, a warrior could feel Heaven Earth Yuan Qi.
The fifth level of Qi Gatherer and the fourth level of meridians complemented each other. When a warrior could feel Heaven Earth Yuan Qi, he could guide Heaven Earth Yuan Qi into his body. When Qi Gatherer reached its peak, the Heaven Earth Yuan Qi would transform one's body, completing a rebirth process. Then, a warrior would officially step into the next big realm, the Purple Blood realm.
Strictly speaking, the Purple Blood realm was the true beginning of martial arts.
The reason why this realm was called the Purple Blood realm was because when a warrior's body was trained to a certain level, there would be a qualitative change. At the moment of breaking through the realm of a Purple Blood Warrior, the blood in one's body would become as dense as mercury. And if this blood was placed under the sun, with the help of the sunlight, the blood would have a purplish-gold luster.
This was how the Purple Blood realm got its name!
A warrior who stepped into the Purple Blood realm was extremely powerful. They could support a small tribe by themselves, so in the vast wilderness, Purple Blood Warriors enjoyed a high status.
A Purple Blood Warrior could casually enter a small or medium-sized tribe. In that tribe, he would be like an emperor. All the tribesmen would listen to him, and he would hold the highest authority in the tribe. He could enjoy all the prettiest women in the tribe, and all the women would feel honored to be visited by a Purple Blood Warrior. Even the Patriarch's daughter would obediently crawl into the Purple Blood Warrior's bed.
This was something that couldn't be helped. Imagine a girl who ate porridge every day and was in a precarious situation. One day, a hero suddenly appeared in her life and could bring her the most sumptuous food and the most comfortable life. How could she not throw herself into the arms of a hero?
In this era, people worshipped the strong, especially women!
…
"Yun 'er, I'll climb up to pick the herbs. You'll catch the herbs that I throw down," Jiang Xiaorou said as she climbed up a vine.
As Jiang Xiaorou spoke, she had already climbed up a vine. The Lian tribal clan's herb mountain covered a vast area, and the terrain was extremely dangerous!
Most of the precious herbs grew on the precipice and were not so easy to pick.
Climbing cliffs to pick herbs was a dangerous activity. People often died. Yi Yun had previously fallen to his death.
Now that Yi Yun had come back to life, Jiang Xiaorou did not want Yi Yun to climb cliffs again.
Yi Yun could not let Jiang Xiaorou take the risk. He said, "Sis, you pick the herbs below. Leave the top to me!"
"Yun-er, don't mess around! Your body has just recovered, how would you have the strength to climb up … "Jiang Xiaorou's words got stuck in her throat. She watched helplessly as Yi Yun grabbed onto the rattan and climbed up like a monkey.
"Yun … Yun 'er …" Jiang Xiaorou stared with widened eyes as she watched Yi Yun crawl up the cliff as if he was walking on flat ground. When did Yun' er become so agile?
Picking herbs on cliffs was not just about climbing high. It also required experience and familiarity with the herb's habits and most likely growing spots.
For example, some herbs liked the shade, while others faced the Sun. Some herbs liked the dryness, while others liked the humidity.
Although Yi Yun had crammed some knowledge on herbs the day before, his knowledge was limited.
He had planned on using his agility to make up for his lack of knowledge, but he soon realized that it was no longer necessary …
After Yi Yun climbed seven or eight meters up the cliff, he suddenly saw a faint light rising from a boulder not far away.
The light hovered in the air for a few seconds before flying towards him and entering Yi Yun's chest.
Following that, the Purple Crystal's coolness became more obvious. The energy flowed through his veins to his limbs, making Yi Yun feel extremely comfortable.
Without a doubt, the Purple Crystal was absorbing energy.
"Could it be …"
Yi Yun quickly crawled over and peeked his head out to look at the bottom of the boulder. Underneath the boulder was a fiery red fruit the size of a fist!
Dan Guo, a low-grade Purple Blood herb. From the heat, it was at least twenty years old.
Yi Yun was overjoyed. Just as he was about to pick it, he realized that another light had flown out from the surface of the Dan Guo and into his chest!
A few seconds later, there was a third light dot and a fourth light dot.
The number of light dots increased, but the luster on the surface of the Dan Guo seemed to dim a little. If one did not look carefully, they would not have noticed it.
