90: Is this thing very precious?

Chen Heng was delighted in his heart; it seemed that iron futu armor also existed in this world.

"This thing is just a pure iron can, and the craftsmanship is quite complex..."

Xu Lieying pinched his brow.

"But it's not a big problem, three days later you..."

Xu Lieying stopped mid-sentence, looking at Chen Heng, who appeared like a handsome Young Master, and was a bit speechless.

"What's wrong, Hall Master Xu?"

Chen Heng always felt that Xu Lieying's gaze towards him was a bit off.

"Chen Heng, are you planning to wear this set of iron futu as you are now, or as you were the night before last?"

Xu Lieying gestured with his hand.

Indeed, Chen Heng's usual physique and his full-power physique differed too much.

One was a handsome Young Master, the other was a blood-and-flesh beast.

"This..." Chen Heng was also a bit troubled.

After thinking for a while, Chen Heng still decided to have a set made according to his usual state.

There weren't many enemies that could make him go all out; if necessary, he could always have another set of three-meter-tall iron futu made.

"Alright, then we'll make it according to your current physique."

Xu Lieying nodded and personally took Chen Heng's measurements.

"Alright, go now. Come back in three days to pick it up."

Chen Heng cupped his fists towards Xu Lieying, then turned and left the Lou Clan Blacksmith Shop.

Returning home, after instructing Xiao He to brew thirty servings of qi and blood decoction, Chen Heng continued to practice the White Tiger Geng Metal Saber and Eight Extremes Fist.

Time slowly passed. After dinner, Xiao He brought up the brewed qi and blood decoction.

Glancing at the moon hanging high in the sky, Chen Heng clicked Optimization.

Taking out fifteen servings of blood refining powder from his system backpack, Chen Heng kept two servings.

He poured the remaining thirteen servings into his mouth.

"Burp!"

Letting out a loud burp, Chen Heng then pulled out the crimson blood pill Qi Longhu had given him.

This item, after Optimization, was a good thing; eating it could increase six hundred points of Qi and blood, ten years of cultivation, and a good amount of Internal Qi.

It was just annoying that it had a cooldown.

However, one pill was equivalent to ten servings of qi and blood decoction, so Chen Heng was quite satisfied.

Besides the blood refining powder, it also provided a stable method for increasing cultivation, so the crimson blood pill was still very important.

After optimizing these six crimson blood pills into hundred refined crimson blood pills, Chen Heng took one out and swallowed it.

Smacking his lips, Chen Heng opened his System panel.

Name: Chen Heng

Qi and Blood: 12550

Cultivation: 158 years

Internal Skill: Nine Revolutions Longevity Art (Third Revolution), Five Elements Five Organs Diagram (Netherworld Heart Fire Perfection, Lung Metal Perfection)

External Skill: Indestructible Golden Body (Initiation), White Tiger Geng Metal Saber (Major Achievement), Eight Desolations Six Harmonies Fist (Initiation), Dragon Tiger Strength (Maximum seventeen times)

"Oh, Dragon Tiger Strength increased a bit again."

"When Big Brother Qi has his Breakthrough tomorrow, I'll try it out with him."

"Is it a bit bullying to use seventeen times Dragon Tiger Strength against him?"

After closing the System panel, Chen Heng sat cross-legged on the bed and began to circulate the Nine Revolutions Longevity Art.

With the help of his Zombie Body, Chen Heng's Internal Qi increased faster and faster.

At this rate, reaching Third Revolution Perfection and breaking through to Fourth Revolution would only take three to five days.

One night passed quickly.

When the sky was fully bright, Chen Heng stopped the Nine Revolutions Longevity Art and began to wash up.

Looking at the ripe peaches on the peach tree, Chen Heng realized that autumn was coming soon.

However, he was not sensitive to external temperatures now; he felt that spring, summer, autumn, and winter were all about the same.

Perhaps this was immunity to cold and heat?

After a simple breakfast, Chen Heng put the blood refining powder into a porcelain bottle and got into the carriage heading for White Tiger Hall.

By the time Chen Heng walked into the Martial Arts Training Hall of White Tiger Hall, Qi Longhu had already begun to adjust his state, preparing for his Breakthrough.

"Little Brother Chen, I am ready. I wonder how that qi and blood decoction you mentioned is?"

Qi Longhu opened his eyes, but the scorching Qi and blood in his body were still circulating.

He had to adjust his state to the best, as a martial artist's Breakthrough was extremely dangerous.

A slight carelessness could cost him his life.

"Here, this is the qi and blood decoction I told you about."

Chen Heng took out the porcelain bottle containing the blood refining powder, uncorked it, and placed it in front of Qi Longhu.

"Good stuff!"

Qi Longhu wiggled his nose and reached out to pick up the blood refining powder.

As a martial artist who had been immersed in the martial Dao for over eighty years, Qi Longhu could confirm that this decoction was a hundred times better than the crimson blood pill!

The effect of the crimson blood pill before Optimization was just so-so, and it was certainly no match for the hundred refined crimson blood pill.

"Little Brother Chen, then I'll trouble you to be my Protector."

Confidence flickered in Qi Longhu's eyes.

"Alright, hurry up and have your Breakthrough. When you're done, I'm planning to try out some moves on you."

Chen Heng sat down about three meters away from Qi Longhu, propping his chin with one hand, staring at Qi Longhu.

"Thank you for your trouble."

Qi Longhu took a deep breath and poured the single serving of blood refining powder into his mouth.

Instantly, Qi Longhu's face flushed red, seemingly due to the impact of the blood refining powder's medicinal power.

"What fierce medicinal power!"

Chen Heng looked at the trembling Qi Longhu with a strange expression; he deeply suspected that this old man was acting.

When he drank blood refining powder, he drank it by the basinful, and he never looked like this?

Those who knew thought he was having a Breakthrough; those who didn't might think he was having a seizure.

"Hoo!"

Qi Longhu roared, his entire body's Qi and blood surging.

Traces of a bloody smell wafted from his body, and his eyes were wide open, bloodshot.

"Hahahaha! Acquired Realm! I've arrived!"

With a muffled thud, something inside Qi Longhu's body seemed to shatter.

Then, Qi Longhu's entire Aura surged, emitting an indescribable pressure.

"I, Qi Longhu! Enter the Acquired Realm today!"

"Hahahahaha!"

Qi Longhu roared to the sky, his hair, which was originally tied into a bun, now loose and wildly disheveled.

After a while, Qi Longhu returned to normal.

He re-tied his loose bun and stood up, walking towards Chen Heng.

"Little Brother Chen, my Breakthrough to the Acquired Realm this time is all thanks to you."

Qi Longhu cupped his fists firmly, his expression extremely serious.

"This blood refining powder must be exceptionally precious, as it directly increased my cultivation by a whole year."

"Such a precious item certainly cannot be exchanged for a mere crimson blood pill Pill Formula."

"Tell me anything you want, and as long as this old man can get it, I will definitely get it!"

Chen Heng looked at the serious-faced Qi Longhu, unsure what to say.

This old man definitely misunderstood.

When he had enough medicinal ingredients before, he drank blood refining powder by the basinful.

He truly didn't feel it was that precious.

"Alright, stop talking about those useless things for now."

Chen Heng waved his hand, temporarily skipping over the topic.

"Come, come, give me the crimson blood pill Pill Formula, we'll talk about the rest later!"

Chen Heng extended his hand towards Qi Longhu, even hooking his finger.
