Chapter 124: Perfect Skin Forging, Qi Cultivation Stage
In the dark woods.

The four bodies were scattered all over the place, like randomly discarded dolls.

Their faces were distorted, with expressions of fear frozen in their faces before death.

The blood appeared a strange dark red in the sunlight, and it formed a small stream on the ground, flowing in a winding manner.

The air was filled with the stench of rusty blood and rotten leaves.

Even if a breeze blew occasionally, it couldn't blow away the strong smell of blood.

Lian Bing and the other two who were still alive all fixed their gazes on Shen Qing, their eyes filled with surprise and suspicion.

It was as if they had seen some indescribable monster.

Lian Bing opened his mouth and wanted to ask something, but in this dead silent forest, he found that he had no idea where to start.

He lowered his head and glanced at Shen Qing, letting the shock spread in his heart.

After a while, Shen Qing bent down under the gaze of several people, and slowly fiddled with the corpse. He took out the silver and Qi and Blood Pills in their hands one by one, and put them into his pocket without blushing or beating his heart.

Lian Bing and his companions did not stop it, thinking that it was all natural.

After making sure nothing was left out, Shen Qing poured out a bright red Qi and Blood Pill and placed it in the palm of his hand.

He walked up to Lian Bing and asked, "Captain Lian, is this Qi and Blood Pill really that useful?"

Lian Bing reacted and hurriedly clasped his fists and bowed his head respectfully and said truthfully: "This is a common pill in the salary issued by our government. The essence contained in a Qi and Blood Pill is more than a bowl of Ten-Ingredient Tonic Soup. We usually take one before practicing to speed up the practice. We also take one after being tired from fighting outside to boost our spirits."

"I see. I just went through a battle and consumed a lot of energy. This is a good chance for me to replenish it."

Shen Qing looked at the Qi and Blood Pill with interest, then threw it into his mouth and started chewing it.

The taste is a bit like calcium tablets, with a hint of sweetness.

Gulu!
Shen Qing swallowed it in one gulp and felt it quietly for a while.

There was no vision at first, but after a moment, he suddenly had a mental shock.

coming!

Shen Qing felt a faint herbal aroma in his mouth. The essence contained in his bone marrow merged with the essence in the elixir and continued to emanate from the inside out.

At this moment, the huge amount of vital energy, along with the qi and blood, began to run wildly like a wild horse, shuttling through his meridians and constantly washing his flesh, blood, and skin.

Shen Qing noticed that the membrane on his arm had become more crystal clear due to the refining of the Dragon Roar Iron Shirt, and the essence that was emanating from it was constantly locked inside.

His skin was turning red at a speed visible to the naked eye, and from a distance he looked like a boiled shrimp.

Shen Qing knew that this was exactly the effect brought by the Qi and Blood Pill.

He was delighted, and mentally guided the medicinal essence to circulate in his meridians, continuously washing over his body.

The effect of a Qi and Blood Pill lasted for half an incense stick of time before completely disappearing.

After finally getting some feeling, he stopped. Shen Qing frowned slightly, feeling a little unhappy.

Without hesitation, he took out a Qi and Blood Pill and swallowed it.

Shen Qing now noticed that his skin began to tighten and harden, as if it was about to touch a membrane, and was constantly changing.

He understood that this was the result of his cultivation constantly improving under the effect of the Qi and Blood Pill.

The first time he took the Qi and Blood Pill, it was of extraordinary benefit to him.

After Shen Qing ate two in a row, he still felt a sense of hunger in his flesh and blood, and was far from reaching his limit.

"In that case..."

Shen Qing swallowed all the remaining seven Qi and Blood Pills in one breath.

Lian Bing, who was standing by, couldn't help but be dumbfounded when he saw this scene.

He had never seen such a ferocious way of eating.

Because he ate too much in one breath, a large amount of essence escaped from his mouth.

Shen Qing quickly covered his mouth and nose and continued to refine.

Time passed little by little, and at a certain moment, Shen Qing suddenly heard a muffled sound in his ears, as if at a certain moment, it suddenly broke through the barrier of the membrane.

Something in the flesh, blood, and skin broke and shattered.

Immediately afterwards, the muscles attached to Shen Qing's bones began to wriggle and slowly expand.

The blush on the skin all over the body faded like the tide and melted into the skin, and all abnormalities came to an abrupt end.

Shen Qing raised his hand and touched it, feeling a cold and hard touch.

"Have I... completed the leather forging? Have I advanced to the Qi Cultivation Stage?"

There was a glimmer of surprise in Shen Qing's eyes.

He clenched his fists, stretched his muscles, and found that every move he made was filled with great power.

The skin all over the body is as thick as cowhide and as hard as iron.

"As I expected, the Leather Forging Realm is indeed the realm that is easiest for me to break through." Shen Qing muttered to himself: "With such strength plus the membrane of the Dragon Roar Iron Cloth Shirt, my defense power is estimated to be to a terrifying level."

He put away his fists, stood with his hands behind his back, looked around, his face full of strong confidence.

Lian Bing, Xiao Zhi and the others were unaware of Shen Qing's inner changes at this time. They only felt that his aura had quietly changed, and seemed to be more... powerful...

At this moment, a loud explosion was heard in the distant forest.

Shen Qing and others looked in the direction of the voice.

Lian Bing stood up and blurted out, "Someone has found the tiger monster's trace."

A trace of panic flashed across his face.

He didn't know how terrifying the tiger demon was before, but now that he had seen how difficult it was to deal with the ghost minions, when he heard about the tiger demon again, he was like a frightened bird.

Shen Qing glanced at Lian Bing and said nothing.

He turned his head to look at the old tree next to him that was so big that it took two people to hug it. He kicked his legs and rushed along the trunk to the treetop.

He looked towards the direction where the fireworks were exploding in the distance, his eyes stern: "Eagle Eye!"

hum!
Pictures of the mountains and forests kept appearing in Shen Qing's mind, and these pictures began to combine to form a bird's-eye view.

He clearly saw that birds were constantly flying away in fright somewhere in the mountains.

A large, gorgeous tiger as big as a calf was running in the forest, heading towards him.

Shen Qing licked his lips and shouted to Xiao Zhi: "Give me the bow and arrow!"

Xiao Zhi, who had walked under the tree, heard the sound and hurriedly threw the heavy bow and arrow up.

Shen Qing caught it.

He hooked one foot on a branch and stood on the tree.

In the vast green mountains and under the scorching sun, Shen Qing slowly raised the heavy bow in his hand.

His arms stretched out like apes, his muscles swelled like tree knots, the lines were smooth and full of explosive power.

Shen Qing took a deep breath, placed a heavy arrow on the bowstring, and pulled the bowstring.

When the bowstring was drawn to the full moon, there was a brief silence in the woods.

Shen Qing suddenly loosened his fingers, and the bowstring was released suddenly like thunder.

The arrow made of black iron cut through the sky, bringing with it a whistling sound and fierce momentum, and shot towards somewhere in the distant mountains and forests in a perfect arc.

The big tiger was hurrying on his way when he suddenly sensed a murderous intent. He was so shocked that all the hair on his body stood up.

Before it could understand what was happening, it saw a black light falling from the sky and heading towards it.

boom!
The moment the black light fell on it, it seemed as if the entire forest was shaken.
