16: Chapter 16 Forged in the Furnace of Blood and Qi! I, with my seemingly useless talent, crushed the prodigies.

At the same time, after swallowing two Medicinal Pills, Gu Han's Qi and blood had completely recovered.

Immediately, he used a life origin crystal to start Cultivating the Turtle Breathing Technique.

In an instant, Gu Han's aura began to continuously conceal itself.

Until Gu Han's cultivation base was completely hidden at the Body Tempering Realm Sixth Stage.

"Very good!"

"Continue!"

Gu Han once again used a life origin crystal to Cultivate the "Turtle Breathing Technique."

He would not give up until he had Cultivated the "Turtle Breathing Technique" to Perfection.

Soon, after Gu Han consecutively invested two life origin crystals, he finally Cultivated the "Turtle Breathing Technique" to Perfection as he had wished.

At this moment, he could completely and freely conceal his cultivation base.

Unless someone was two major Realms higher than him, they would not be able to see through his cultivation base.

"Although four life origin crystals were consumed, it was worth it."

"There are fourteen life origin crystals left now; I'll first Cultivate a Body Tempering Realm Cultivation Technique to see the effect."

"Let's see if my Qi and blood can surge."

Immediately, he made his selection and decided to first Cultivate the "Blood Strengthening Technique."

With the auxiliary Cultivation of one life origin crystal.

In the blink of an eye, the "Blood Strengthening Technique" was Cultivated to Perfection, and Gu Han's Qi and blood increased significantly, just as he had expected.

However, it was far from reaching a qualitative change.

"It's effective!"

"Continue!"

...

As the "Tiger Roar Blood Tempering Technique" was Cultivated to Perfection, the Qi and blood within Gu Han's body also reached a critical point.

"Boom!"

In an instant, the Qi and blood within Gu Han's body rumbled and surged.

Subsequently, the Qi and blood circulated throughout his entire body at a speed visible to the naked eye, continuously solidifying.

The energy emitted by the Qi and blood made the entire room become hot.

At the same time, Gu Han's body was covered by a thin veil.

"I've finally strengthened my Foundation a little bit."

According to the Dao of martial arts that Gu Han understood.

After the Body Tempering Realm Ninth Stage, one could actually continue to refine Qi and blood.

And Qi and blood were further divided into several minor Ranks: Qi and blood veil, Qi and blood smoke, Qi and blood manifestation, and Qi and blood furnace.

However, ordinary Loose Cultivators would all choose to Breakthrough to the Meridian Connecting Realm once they reached the Body Tempering Ninth Stage.

On one hand, they lacked Cultivation Techniques.

On the other hand, their resources were limited, making it difficult to support higher-level Qi and blood tempering.

But Gu Han was different; with the assistance of life origin crystals, he could completely aim for a higher level of Qi and blood!

"The Qi and blood veil is formed; next is the Qi and blood smoke!"

Gu Han's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and he unhesitatingly invested two life origin crystals entirely into the "Blood Tempering Technique" and "Blood Forging Technique."

In an instant, the Qi and blood within Gu Han's body surged again.

The heat waves rolling off his body even caused the wooden furniture in the room to faintly smell like it was scorching.

"Boom—!"

His Qi and blood surged like boiling water, eventually transforming into a scarlet smoke visible to the naked eye, shooting straight into the sky from the top of his head!

Qi and blood smoke!

This was one of the ultimate manifestations of the Body Tempering Realm, representing that his Physical Body Foundation far exceeded that of Martial Artists of the same Rank!

"It's still not enough!"

Gu Han gritted his teeth and invested another life origin crystal into the "Tiger Roar Blood Tempering Technique."

At this moment, Gu Han was like a gambler who had gone mad.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The Qi and blood within Gu Han's body surged again.

The scarlet smoke of Qi and blood faintly condensed into the phantom of a fierce tiger, roaring above his head!

Qi and blood manifestation!

This had already surpassed the level of ordinary Qi and blood smoke, reaching the ultimate Peak of the Body Tempering Realm!

"The current me, relying solely on Physical Body strength, can crush an Early Stage Meridian Connecting Realm!"

Gu Han's eyes flashed with a sharp light, feeling the surging power within his body.

"It's still not enough!"

"Since I have come to this world, I must forge a supreme Foundation; even with trash Aptitude, I will crush everything."

At this point, Gu Han had finished Cultivating all the blood strengthening Cultivation Techniques he had purchased.

He was still very far from the Qi and blood furnace.

To make his Qi and blood Breakthrough again to the Qi and blood furnace, he needed to Cultivate at least many more blood strengthening Cultivation Techniques.

"Forget it, I'll first Cultivate the Body Tempering and blood strengthening part of the 'Martial Suppression Technique'."

In the blink of an eye, Gu Han Cultivated the Body Tempering Realm chapter of the "Martial Suppression Technique" to Perfection.

Unfortunately, everything was as he had expected.

At this moment, the System displayed a line of text.

【Detected that the host has mastered multiple Body Tempering Cultivation Techniques, and all have been Cultivated to Perfection. Can consume five life origin crystals + ten years of life essence to perform Cultivation Technique Fusion and deduction.】

"brother system, I love you to death!"

"It's just ten years of life essence!"

"I can afford it."

"I'll bet!"

Gu Han chose to perform the Fusion without hesitation.

The five life origin crystals evaporated instantly, and ten years of life essence from the netherworld also slipped away.

In an instant, thousands of insights into the Dao of martial arts exploded in his mind.

"Boom!"

The Qi and blood throughout his body suddenly surged, like towering waves, forming a terrifying vortex within his body.

The skin on Gu Han's entire body cracked with spiderweb-like bloodstains, but they were instantly repaired by surging vitality.

The tables, chairs, and stools in the room turned directly into powder under this pressure!

【Deduction complete!】

【Obtained nameless Body Tempering Realm Cultivation Technique】

Gu Han suddenly opened his eyes, and blood-colored flames were actually dancing in his pupils.

With a casual wave of his hand, the copper lamp three feet away was actually melted into molten iron by the aftermath of his Qi and blood!

"Is this... the power that transcends the extreme Realm?"

"Qi and blood furnace?"

Gu Han looked down at his palms; it felt as if magma was flowing beneath his skin, and every heartbeat triggered surging heat waves within three zhang of his body.

Suddenly, he closed his five fingers.

"Boom!"

The air in his palm was forcibly crushed, exploding into a circle of scarlet Qi waves.

The window lattice of the entire room instantly burst, and the old tree in the courtyard spontaneously ignited without fire.

His body was like a furnace, with Qi and blood as firewood, burning continuously.

Constantly burning away the Impurities in Gu Han's body.

"This Qi and blood furnace is just too strong."

"The current me can completely kill the previous me in one move, the kind without any resistance."

Gu Han felt the surging power within his body.

"Every breath can burn gold and melt iron!"

Gu Han stared at the 【Nameless Body Tempering Realm Cultivation Technique】 words flashing on the System panel.

Suddenly, he grinned.

"Since it can be Cultivated to the Qi and blood furnace, let's call it 'Furnace Blood Refining Technique'!"

【Naming successful!】

Immediately, he unhesitatingly threw the remaining life origin crystals at the Meridian Connecting Realm chapter of the "Martial Suppression Technique."

"Crack!"

As the Qi and blood guided the external Spiritual Qi into his body.

The first Meridian was instantly connected!

Gu Han let out a muffled groan, and fine beads of sweat seeped out on his forehead.

The connection of the Meridians brought a trace of pain.

But Gu Han did not stop.

The second.

The third.

...

He consecutively broke through to the twelfth Meridian before stopping.

At this point, Gu Han had already Cultivated the Meridian Connecting Realm chapter of the "Martial Suppression Technique" to Perfection.

His cultivation base also took advantage of the momentum to Breakthrough to the Meridian Connecting Realm Ninth Stage, Spiritual Qi transformed into True Qi, connecting twelve Meridians, forming a Great Circulation.

"Damn!"

"Am I not of trash Aptitude?"

"How did just one life origin crystal allow me to Cultivate to Perfection!"

Gu Han looked at the panel in confusion.

At this moment, he finally discovered.

The 【Aptitude】 column displayed: Good Talent.

"Eh!"

"My Aptitude actually improved."

A sharp light flashed in Gu Han's eyes.

"Since my Qi and blood have reached the extreme Realm,"

"then the Meridian Connecting Realm must also Breakthrough to the extreme Realm, connecting all hidden Meridians and other Meridians throughout the body."

Just as Gu Han was immersed in the time of Breakthrough.

Butcher Zheng was currently standing respectfully in the hall, waiting for Ma Yong's orders.

Then, after a moment, Ma Yong said coldly.

"Butcher Zheng, last time you just sent some small-time thug to handle things."

"You really don't take this lord's affairs seriously, do you!"

"Do you really think this lord doesn't know that you and your big brother are secretly sucking up to other people?"

Butcher Zheng's whole body trembled, and cold sweat instantly slid down his forehead.
