39: Chapter 39 Mid-stage of Muscle Refining

Next, Chen Hu took out the martial arts cultivation card and silently recited, "Activate."

"Ding, congratulations to the host for obtaining 10 days of cultivation!"

"Claim cultivation!"

The next moment, a trickle-like stream of Qi appeared within his Meridians and flowed toward a secondary Meridian.

This stream of Qi seemed to possess a life of its own.

It easily broke through the blocked Meridian and continued forward.

In no time.

One Meridian was opened.

Then, the stream of Qi flowed directly toward the second Meridian.

Two.

Three.

Four.

...

Before he knew it, 14 of the 72 secondary Meridians had been opened.

The 10 days of cultivation were also completely exhausted.

Thus, Chen Hu controlled the Qi and began to circulate it through his Meridians.

After one cycle, the Qi that fell into his Dantian had become somewhat purer.

With a thought, a spiritual fruit card appeared in his hand.

He chose to use it.

Then he opened a spiritual fruit called the Meridian Opening Fruit.

"It really is like having a pillow appear just when one is sleepy!"

Because after consuming this Meridian Opening Fruit, blocked Meridians would become clear.

Thus, Chen Hu decisively consumed the Meridian Opening Fruit.

Soon, the effect of the spiritual fruit became apparent.

In his perception, the Impurities in the blocked Meridians were rapidly expelled.

This caused the Meridians to quickly become clear.

However, the effect of one Meridian Opening Fruit was limited.

Half an hour later, the effect vanished.

Only twenty secondary Meridians had become clear.

In other words, Chen Hu had already opened 34 secondary Meridians.

As long as he opened the remaining two secondary Meridians, he would officially step into the Mid-stage Tendon Refining.

Thus, Chen Hu decided to make one final push.

He would open the remaining two secondary Meridians.

With a thought, the Qi surged toward one of the blocked secondary Meridians under his control.

He tried a few times first.

After finding the appropriate force, he immersed his mind into it and exerted all his effort to open this Meridian.

An hour later.

Chen Hu exhaled a breath of stale air.

This blocked Meridian had finally been opened by him.

However, the consumption was not small; he had used up a full 60% of his Qi.

He took out two pieces of exotic beast meat and consumed them.

After refining the energy of the exotic beast meat, his Qi was fully restored.

He continued to open the second secondary Meridian.

Another hour passed.

The second secondary Meridian was also opened.

Suppressing the excitement in his heart, Chen Hu consumed two more pieces of exotic beast meat to restore his Qi before controlling the Qi to circulate along the brand-new cultivation path.

After one cycle of cultivation.

The Qi fell into his Dantian and underwent a certain transformation.

Compared to the Early Stage of Tendon Refining, his Qi was purer and more powerful.

Moreover, the Dantian had also expanded slightly under the nourishment of the transformed Qi.

Opening two Meridians in succession consumed a significant amount of his mental energy.

Therefore, Chen Hu did not plan to continue Cultivating.

Instead, he turned to Spirit Refining.

He consumed a soul nourishing pill and adjusted his breathing.

Soon, Chen Hu entered the state, actively controlling his Divine Soul to absorb the medicinal power of the soul nourishing pill.

After consuming the remaining soul nourishing pills, Chen Hu stopped Cultivating.

Instead, he took out the alchemy card.

First, he recorded all three Pill Formulas into the alchemy card.

Subsequently, he chose to refine the soul nourishing pill and then added the medicinal herbs.

In just the time it takes to breathe, the Medicinal Pill was successfully refined.

One portion of medicinal herbs yielded a full 30 soul nourishing pills.

Moreover, Chen Hu discovered that the soul nourishing pills refined by the alchemy card were better than those he refined by hand, both in appearance and medicinal power.

He tried swallowing a soul nourishing pill and began to Cultivate.

When he exited the cultivation state, a look of surprise couldn't help but appear on his face.

Because the effect of the soul nourishing pill refined by the alchemy card was more than twice as good as the ones he refined himself.

In other words, one soul nourishing pill refined by the alchemy card could be used as more than 90 regular soul nourishing pills.

"That's it for today!"

Chen Hu realized it was almost dawn.

He didn't continue Cultivating, but planned to take a nap.

Even though Spirit Refining had the effect of relieving fatigue, it couldn't relieve all of it, so it was still necessary to rest for a while.

He dozed for more than half an hour.

The sky outside had already completely brightened.

Chen Hu got up and walked out of the room. After having Er Niu bring hot water for him to wash up, he sent someone to buy breakfast.

After eating breakfast.

Chen Hu unhurriedly claimed the rewards from the wealth gathering card, pill card, gourmet card, meat field card, and others.

As usual, the rewards he obtained were all ordinary.

Time passed.

In the blink of an eye, it was afternoon again.

Chen Hu discovered that the morale of most of his subordinates had become high.

He knew why.

Because once midnight passed tonight, they would officially occupy the two streets belonging to this stronghold.

On the other side.

Gang Leader Du Zaishan, having stabilized his injuries, returned home.

"Husband, you've finally returned. Peng'er was murdered; you must avenge him!"

Yang Yingyue said to Gang Leader Du Zaishan while weeping.

"Enough, I know. I will avenge him when there is an opportunity in the future!" Gang Leader Du Zaishan was already in a bad mood. Encountering a weeping Yang Yingyue right after returning made his mood even worse, and he felt a thick sense of irritation.

"Husband, I heard that the one who killed Peng'er is just a big boss of the Fierce Tiger Gang. Can you avenge Peng'er right now?"

Although Yang Yingyue noticed Gang Leader Du Zaishan's irritation, she did not retreat, relying on his deep affection for her.

"Slap!"

Gang Leader Du Zaishan raised his hand and slapped Yang Yingyue: "Bitch, didn't you hear what I said? Get out of my sight!"

Clutching her cheek, Yang Yingyue was on the verge of tears, looking at Gang Leader Du Zaishan with an expression of disbelief. She never expected that the man who usually doted on her so much would hit her.

At the same time, this slap also sobered her up. She immediately lowered her head and said, "Husband, I'm sorry. I was just too concerned about my brother. By the way, Husband, I brewed some chicken soup for you. Shall I go bring you a bowl?"

"Go!" Gang Leader Du Zaishan waved his hand.

After a while.

Yang Yingyue came to the study with the chicken soup.

Gang Leader Du Zaishan took a sip and praised, "The chicken soup you brew, Yingyue, is still the best."

As soon as he finished speaking, he drank the whole bowl of chicken soup, then reached out and pulled Yang Yingyue into his arms, saying softly, "Yingyue, it's not that I don't want to avenge Xiaopeng immediately, but our Wild Wolf Gang has just been heavily damaged by the Fierce Tiger Gang. If we dare to make a move now, we will definitely face a crazy retaliation from the Fierce Tiger Gang.

By then, our entire Wild Wolf Gang might be wiped out.

Once the Wild Wolf Gang is destroyed, I'm afraid neither you nor I will be able to save our lives.

Therefore, we must not be in a hurry to avenge Xiaopeng. After this storm passes, I will find a way to avenge Xiaopeng, okay?"

"I'm sorry, Husband, it's all because I was being unreasonable!"

"Enough, I didn't mean to blame you!"

"Husband, you are so kind!" Yang Yingyue said coquettishly, pressing her face against Gang Leader Du Zaishan's chest.

Time flew by.

It reached the Hour of the Rat (Midnight).

Inside the Feihu Street stronghold.

Everyone perked up because they were only half an hour away from officially occupying Feihu Street and Feiyan Street.

Fortunately, during this half an hour.

They did not see anyone from the Wild Wolf Gang coming to attack.

Once midnight passed.

Everyone except Chen Hu cheered.

After everyone finished cheering, Chen Hu announced that after arranging for people to take turns on guard duty, everyone else could go rest.

And Chen Hu also walked into the room, intending to activate the martial arts cultivation card.
