I Killed Gods and Demons in Song Dynasty

Chapter 43 Huge Improvement
With the sacrifice of qi and blood, countless mini "Li Qingyun" composed of the gray mist in the temple began to practice at an extremely high speed.

[Remaining Qi and Blood: Eighty-three Souls]...

After a lot of boring and repetitive practice and exploration, Li Qingyun finally mastered the method of condensing the scattered natural spiritual power between heaven and earth into Tiangang Zhenqi, and using it to temper his body.

Different from the step-by-step approach of "Tianlei Body Tempering Technique", "Tiangang Body Tempering Technique" treats the entire body's flesh and blood as a whole, hammering and quenching it over and over again to remove impurities, and ultimately tempering it through thousands of times to forge steel bones.

The entire body refining process will go through 9981 times of hair removal and marrow cleansing, but this kind of slow and steady work is not difficult in the face of the millions of different incarnations of the Holy Spirit's wisdom and "initiation" magical powers.

[Remaining Qi and Blood: Seventy-six Souls]...

After forging forty-nine times, the "Tian Gang Body Tempering Technique" was practiced to the minor success stage. The Tian Gang Qi permeated the body, and the physique was greatly enhanced.

[Remaining Qi and Blood: 70 Souls]...

After eighty-eight sixty-four times of tempering, Li Qingyun mastered the technique to perfection.

[Remaining Qi and Blood: Sixty-four Souls]...

After 9981 times of body tempering, the "Tian Gang Body Tempering Art" was finally perfected. Li Qingyun's body was as hard as steel, and the essence in his body flowed slowly, running through the meridians like a warm stream, nourishing every acupoint. He thus stepped into an unprecedented new world.

The first realm of martial arts, the pinnacle of "refining essence"!
Li Qingyun opened his eyes and came out of meditation. He was surprised to find that the world in front of him seemed to be washed clean. The texture of the wooden furniture, the trajectory of floating dust, and even the wings of the small flying insects in the house became extremely clear.

He could feel the caress of the flowing air and even hear the faint footsteps of ants on the ground. The scent of grass and soil outside the window became particularly strong. He took a deep breath, as if he could taste the flavor of dusk on his tongue.

Li Qingyun was overjoyed, but still felt unsatisfied. He had guided the heavenly thunder into his body, and under the repeated pressure of the body-tempering technique, the trace of thunder and lightning power contained in his blood seemed to have merged with the Tiangang True Qi...

He felt blessed and continued to meditate and practice when his energy and blood were sufficient.

[Remaining Qi and Blood: Fifty-eight Souls]...

[Remaining Qi and Blood: Fifty-two Souls]...

……

This time it took obviously much longer. Finally, with the infusion of a large amount of Qi and blood, the power of thunder and lightning merged with the Tiangang True Qi into one, forming a brand new force, domineering and pure, with a force as powerful as thunder.

[Remaining Qi and blood: forty-six souls].

After the training, Li Qingyun observed his body with the inner vision method recorded in the book, and suddenly found that his bones were made of jade, and the blood in his body was glowing with light blue electric light, surging freely, like thunder piercing his body, and the roaring sound was endless!
At the same time, his internal organs and meridians throughout his body were protected and nourished by the dense and tangible Tiangang Thunder and Lightning Qi. He looked sharp, as if he was a human-shaped divine weapon, dazzling.

Although he sacrificed nearly forty souls' blood and energy, the rewards were so abundant that it was unimaginable. The accumulation of his body's foundation at this time even far exceeded the highest realm described in the "Tian Gang Tempering Body Art", reaching a whole new level that was not even written in the book.

He felt that he was now infinitely close to the second stage of "Qi Refining", which would further transform his essence into vital energy.

As long as there is an opportunity, a breakthrough can be achieved.

"call……"

Li Qingyun took a deep breath, forced himself to calm down, and tried to concentrate on thinking and summarizing.

Can the Taoist method of inducing thunder be integrated with the Tiangang Zhenqi of martial arts?
Does that mean that I can practice Taoism as well, and use Taoist magic to enhance the power of my martial arts moves?
This idea seems quite feasible at the moment. Anyway, as long as we kill the evil spirits and accumulate enough blood for sacrifice, and repeatedly experiment and practice with the "initiation" magic power, we will always be able to find a feasible method.

The only danger is that after the two pathways are merged, there is a possibility that they may go off track and become out of control and go crazy.

Well, I'll ask Bai Yunrui tomorrow. The three orthodox traditions have been passed down for thousands of years. Any attempt must have been made by someone before. With their experience, I don't have to take risks to explore little by little... Li Qingyun had a plan in mind, so he picked up the knife on the table for cutting fruit, rolled up his sleeves and gently cut his arm. The tough feeling of cutting cowhide came, and the sharp blade was gently bounced away, leaving no trace.

Li Qingyun patiently increased his strength, experimenting again and again, until he used 30% of his strength and slashed fiercely...

A faint flash of lightning flashed across the forearm, followed by a crisp crackling sound!
The knife couldn't withstand such great pressure and was immediately broken into two pieces.

Li Qingyun looked surprised, then a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

My body is actually harder than an iron knife, and I have one more way to save my life in this chaotic world.

In his joy, he picked up another book called "Bagua Wansheng Golden Sword Technique", sacrificed his qi and blood, and began to practice.

[Remaining Qi and Blood: 43 Souls]...

After countless people and countless drills, Li Qingyun, who already had a basic foundation in swordsmanship, quickly mastered the tricks of this sword technique, memorized every move, and gradually practiced it to perfection.

In the grey fog, holding the illusory ghost-head sword in his hand, he was as swift as lightning, and every move and every style was perfect and natural. Suddenly he shouted loudly, and the Tiangang Qi containing thunder and lightning burst out, drawing a perfect lightning sword light in the air.

As the sword was swung out, Li Qingyun suddenly felt a sense of comfort all over his body, as if the sword was an extension of his arm. Inspiration burst out in his mind, and countless insights emerged.

He immediately continued to sacrifice his energy and blood, trying to grasp this hard-earned ray of spiritual light.

[Remaining Qi and Blood: Thirty-five Souls]...

Finally, Li Qingyun learned three killing methods from the Bagua Wansheng Golden Sword Technique, which he named "Lightning Shadow", "Slaying the Void" and "Empty Darkness" respectively.

This is a unique skill he designed by combining his own Tiangang Thunder and Lightning Qi with the "burning blood" magical power. According to Li Qingyun's judgment, with the unreserved burst of Qi and blood, he can briefly burst out with power close to the peak of the second realm.

These three killing methods will be his current trump cards.

……

At the hour of You, Li Qingyun, after changing his clothes, came to the Gathering Hall of the Hero Building and found that Song Ke was already sitting there waiting for him.

"Gang leader..."

When Song Ke saw Li Qingyun coming, he quickly stood up and saluted, then opened the bundle on the table, revealing the white silver inside, "This is the bounty given by the Zhu family. Since it is a task you have completed, you can take half according to the gang rules. The two hundred and fifty taels are all here."

Wow, such a huge sum of money, it’s all mine?
Li Qingyun was excited, but in order to maintain his image as a gang leader, he remained calm on the surface and said calmly:
"Please carry it with me. I may need it when I go to the trade fair in East City later."

Song Ke nodded and consciously put the bag on his back.

"Boss, shall we go?"

He was not afraid of being robbed with so much silver, because tonight's trade fair was hosted by the "Xuanwu Pavilion", one of the most powerful forces in Bianliang City. There were many extraordinary masters in charge, and none of them would be so bold as to steal there.

Li Qingyun was not afraid at all, because he possessed the power of divination, and even if the silver was lost by Song Ke, he would be able to find it back.

So he nodded: "Lead the way."
