'Extremely active. Isn't this the so-called Yang Qi?' Lu Sheng's heart skipped a beat. 'In other words, my current Yang Qi is too strong. Nothing else can withstand it.'
He thought for a moment, then bit down hard on his finger, squeezing out a drop of thick, blackish-red blood.
The drop of blood dripped onto the ground.
"Hiss …"
What left Lu Sheng dumbfounded was that the pool of blood on the ground was expanding rapidly and madly.
At first, it was only the size of a fingernail on the ground.
After a few breaths, it had expanded to the size of a palm.
He waited at the side, watching as the drop of blood devoured a large chunk of metal on the ground, forming a fist-sized pit. Finally, as if the cells had multiplied to their limit, it slowly stopped.
'It can even eat metal?' Lu Sheng reached out and pinched the flesh-like floccules on the ground. These floccules were the tissues that grew when his drop of blood devoured the metal.
This was the first time he had witnessed the powerful effects of a human body being strengthened to its limit.
Lu Sheng raised his finger to look at the bite wound. The wound had already healed, and its surface was once again covered with a greenish-gray keratin.
"Gulp …"
Suddenly, Lu Sheng felt a strong hunger surge from his stomach.
His body rapidly shrunk, returning to his normal Yin Extreme Mode form. Then, he hurriedly poured out a handful of concentrated grain pills from a medicine box and swallowed them.
These were grain pills made from sesame, peanuts, sugar, rice flour, and many other foods. One could be eaten as a meal, and each was only the size of a walnut. It was very convenient.
After tidying up the mess in the silent quarters, he changed his clothes and walked out of the stone door.
"How long have I been in seclusion?" Lu Sheng took a deep breath. The sun was shining brightly outside. It was already noon.
"In reply to Sect Master, it's been four hours," the guard replied in a low voice.
"Is Song Zhenguo here?"
"He's been waiting for a long time."
Lu Sheng nodded and called for someone to lead the way. He went to wash up first, then went to the little garden to meet Song Zhenguo.
The winter plum blossoms in the garden were in full bloom. White petals were everywhere on the trees, and the ground.
Song Zhenguo was dressed in a set of grey warrior robes, and he was sitting in front of a stone table in the garden, feeling somewhat restless.
He was suddenly brought to such a magnificent place. As someone who had seen the world, he naturally knew that this place was not something an ordinary force could possess.
Although the newcomer had come with Master Lu's name, he couldn't rest easy until he saw Lu Sheng.
"Zhen Guo." Lu Sheng slowly walked into the garden.
"Master Lu!" Song Zhenguo stood up, his expression finally relaxed. "I've always been worried about who would bring me to such a place. It's really Master Lu! " He had long guessed that Lu Sheng wasn't simple, but he didn't expect him to be this powerful. From the attitude of the people who brought him here, he could see that Lu Sheng had an extremely high prestige in their hearts.
"How do you feel?" Lu Sheng also sat down and watched as Song Zhenguo hurriedly poured wine for him.
"Come to think of it, it's strange. Ever since Master Lu gave me pointers, I feel that my skills have improved by leaps and bounds. I've already stabilized the entry level of Green Pine One Thought Formula." Song Zhenguo's face was full of joy.
"Give me your hand." Lu Sheng pinched his pulse and sent a thread of inner Qi into his body to check on his condition.
As he had expected, the inner Qi in Song Zhenguo's body appeared to be Green Pine One Thought Formula on the surface, but in reality, it was still a thread of Aquarius Qi that Lu Sheng had sent in.
However, that thread of inner Qi seemed to have grown a little stronger. One wouldn't be able to tell without careful observation. But if Lu Sheng wanted to, he could extract that thread of inner Qi at any time, causing Song Zhenguo's previous efforts to be in vain. Even the foundation of his inner Qi would be completely destroyed.
'What a strange skill …' Lu Sheng sighed inwardly, but his expression didn't change.
"You're progressing well. Next, you can practice some complementary skills. I have a set of fist techniques that doesn't have any offensive effects. It can only nourish the body and regulate Qi and blood. It's called the Pulse Illuminating Fist. Learn it."
Lu Sheng didn't intend to let Song Zhenguo spoil things through excessive enthusiasm. Everything would be fine as long as he followed the prescribed path. As for revenge …
Song Zhenguo's enemy was Scarlet District. And given his martial arts, even if he cultivated for a lifetime, he wouldn't be a match for the weakest ghost in Scarlet District. That would be meaningless.
Lu Sheng intended for him to follow the prescribed path and practice steadily. It would be enough if he could escape from ordinary ghosts.
After teaching him the fist technique, Lu Sheng confirmed the effectiveness of his Aquarius Qi. It could indeed raise and control the cultivation of others. This way, he would be able to nurture useful death warriors.
Lu Sheng had Song Zhenguo escorted back to the city. In his heart, he began to plan to nurture some useful people.
At his current stage, there was not a single person in the entire Crimson Whale Sect who could lend him a hand when he was in real trouble.
'I need a force strong enough in the dark to protect my friends and family and handle some Bind realm matters. Perhaps I'll find an opportunity during this trip to Martial League. A Divine Prime expert would be a good choice. '
Martial League had taken in quite a number of Divine Prime experts in an attempt to resist the Noble Families. Unfortunately, even when they encountered Ashoka Manor, they could only hide, unable to make a name for themselves.
On this trip, Lu Sheng planned to settle the matter of the eyewitness. On the other hand, he wanted to collect enough secret manuals. Lastly, he wanted to recruit experts and attempt to nurture martial arts experts who could threaten the Bind realm.
Through Song Zhenguo, he discovered that as long as he infused his Aquarius Qi into these experts, their cultivation would increase. But the extent and proportion of the increase was unclear.
"Summon Xu Chui."
Lu Sheng instructed after some thought.
"Yes!"
Xu Chui rushed to the garden and knelt on one knee before Lu Sheng.
"Greetings, Sect Master."
"Come with me." Lu Sheng led him out of the Little Garden. They sped all the way and soon arrived at another martial arts training field.
At the same time, he instructed everyone not to enter and disturb them.
"Ah Chui. How long have you been stuck at Intent Proficiency? "Lu Sheng stood before the wooden window, his back to him as he gazed into the distance.
In the distance of the surging river, there were patches of blackish green. Anglers sat on the turquoise, while flat-leaf boats docked beside them.
White birds chirped as they flew past the Green River. Under the blowing wind, the surface of the river rippled with layers of scale-like waves.
On the waters near the Crimson Whale, some sect members bobbed in the cold water, swimming and training in their shorts.
"It's been three years …" Xu Chui replied respectfully.
To the current Crimson Whale Sect, Lu Sheng's existence was akin to Zhen Family's in the past, suppressing the ghosts in the entire Northern Lands. The safety of the sect's tens of thousands of members rested entirely on this tall, young man before him.
That was why he respected Lu Sheng all the more.
"You're thirty-six this year. How many three years can a person's life be delayed? "Lu Sheng said impassively. He retracted his gaze and looked at Xu Chui.
"Xu Chui knows that too … but in the end … in the end …" Xu Chui's face was crestfallen.
"If there's a chance for you to forcefully break through to Intent Proficiency and attain the corresponding level of power, but you'll have to rely on me afterwards, what will you choose?" Lu Sheng's voice was low.
Xu Chui was stunned and fell silent.
There was a look of struggle on his face. His grip on the hilt of the saber at his waist tightened, his knuckles turning white.
After a long while …
He took in a deep breath.
"Ah Chui … I'm willing!"
Lu Sheng turned completely around to face him.
"I can use some methods to help you break through your cultivation. But … such a breakthrough will prevent you from ever using force against me. This isn't poison, nor does it require a time-limited antidote. But from now on, your cultivation will be tied to me forever, "Lu Sheng explained carefully.
"It's your subordinate's honor!" Xu Chui said resolutely.
Lu Sheng was taken aback. Then, he recalled that this wasn't Earth.
The people here weren't so complicated and unpredictable. In an era where loyalty was a virtue, loyal subjects were respected everywhere.
There were even people who were willing to become true death warriors. Some retainers raised by princes were even willing to draw their swords and die to repay their kindness.
Such examples weren't just found in novels.
Lu Sheng saw the determination and a hint of worship in Xu Chui's eyes. Suddenly, he thought of his immense prestige in the sect.
"I hope you won't regret it," he said in a low voice.
Xu Chui took a step forward and knelt on one knee.
"I won't regret it!"
Lu Sheng stared at him for a while. There was a moment of silence.
"The inner Qi you've cultivated is actually just one step away from the threshold. But because of your lack of drive, you've lingered on this threshold for too long and are gradually losing your spirit. Today, I'll lend you a helping hand! "
Xu Chui raised his head, slightly puzzled.
Just as he was feeling puzzled, he suddenly saw Lu Sheng's figure blur, leaving behind a trail of afterimages as he dashed toward him.
"Infinite Universe, Yin Yang Jade Crane!"
"Hiss!"
A jade-like hand landed on his forehead at a seemingly slow pace.
In an instant, a huge wave of pure inner Qi surged into his body. Xu Chui felt his entire body swell up like a balloon.
His skin, muscles, and organs were in excruciating pain. He involuntarily tried to cry out. But when he remembered that this was the Sect Master imparting his inner Qi to him, he gritted his teeth and endured the pain.
Lu Sheng's right hand swelled up slightly. Wisps of faint red Qi floated around him. That was the defensive blood web of Ultimate Crimson Nine Furies Skill.
The red Qi danced around the two of them.
With a swoosh, he suddenly lifted Xu Chui up, letting his body tumble rapidly in midair.
"Bam!"
A palm struck out.
Lu Sheng's right palm landed squarely on Xu Chui's chest.
Yin Yang Jade Crane Aquarius Qi surged wildly into his body. Xu Chui gritted his teeth in pain. His muscles began to contort and tremble violently. Tiny spots of blood seeped out of his skin.
Although he had only infused a tiny bit of Lu Sheng's centuries of cultivation, it was still too much for him to bear.
Even for Lu Sheng, he had upgraded himself time and time again. Only after his body had adapted to it did he continue with the next upgrade.
Such a huge amount of inner Qi surging into his body at one go was unprecedented.
As the huge amount of inner Qi surged into his body, Xu Chui's muscles began to contort in a mutated manner.
Bloody red tumors the size of fingernails gradually grew on his chest. Soon, the densely packed tumors covered an area the size of a palm.
Then, two lines of blood grew out of the tumors and extended toward Xu Chui's arms.
A surge of power many times stronger than what he had possessed in the past surged within his body.
In the drill ground, the two of them were locked in a stalemate. Xu Chui's chest seemed to be glued to Lu Sheng's palm as he hung motionless in midair.
Countless wisps of red Qi revolved around the two of them.
