Rise from a Poor Family: My Martial Arts Counterattack

Chapter 153 True Blood Refining, Panel Re-Iteration
Wu Garden.

Lin Chen stood in the yard under the night wind.

After meeting Master Tai, he came to Wu Garden.

Although Jingshui Martial Arts School and Zhenyue Martial Arts School both reserved dormitories for him, he still preferred to stay in the Martial Arts Garden.

Even though his mind was filled with thoughts, Lin Chen still continued to practice.

After completing a set of Qingfeng Palm and Shuiyun Palm, Lin Chen's thoughts completely calmed down.

Cultivation has completely become a part of his body and can even regulate his emotions.

And with the help of the understanding of "One Black to the End" during cultivation, Lin Chen's mind can also analyze things more clearly.

The Huo family that was targeting him was not the mastermind behind the scenes. The real mastermind was a force even more powerful than the Huo family.

He could sense this from Lord Su's cautious attitude when talking to him.

It is not easy for a child from a poor family to stand out among the children of powerful families. It is not just the gap in resources. Lin Chen is clearly aware of this.

If it weren't for Lin Ming's incident, this model student of Jiangnan Dao would have given up the position.

But after what happened to Lin Ming, even though he and Lin Chaoyang had long severed their relationship as grandparents and grandchildren, how could he really be indifferent to Lin Chaoyang's death?

If he still gives in when someone forces him to do something and someone in his family dies, then what’s the point of practicing martial arts?

If the other party can attack you directly, then you have no choice but to give up and move away.

But since Lord Su and the others were able to stand on my side at that time, it proved that the other party was also afraid and would not deal with me openly.

He also has supporters behind him, including Lord Li from Quzhou Prefecture, Lord Qiu, Lord Su and Lord He.

This force should not be underestimated.

Lord Su was right in saying that the Huo family was a behemoth to him, not to mention the existence behind the Huo family.

The only thing I can do is to improve my martial arts potential.

The improvement in realm cannot reflect one's potential in martial arts. The awakening realm is nothing to those great figures who have entered the realm of martial arts.

After more than half a year of understanding martial arts, Lin Chen also realized one thing: even if he quickly broke through the awakening realm in the future, it would at most surprise the adults.

Or maybe he would surprise these adults a couple of times by following his own extreme martial arts path, but the overall difference would not be that big.

"If you can leave your name at Wudao Mountain, the Ministry of Military Affairs will send someone here."

Lin Chen thought of what Senior Zhao said in his mind, but then he smiled bitterly. It was too difficult to leave a name on the Martial Arts Mountain.

With his Qi and blood far surpassing those of other students at the same level, he couldn't even defeat a senior with the ninth acupoint, let alone leave a name for himself.

According to the current progress of training, it is absolutely impossible to leave a name in Wudao Mountain.

After a while, Lin Chen walked back to the study from the yard and first glanced at the panel.

[Host: Lin Chen]

[Realm: Extreme Enlightenment Realm (14/24): (390/400)]

[Qi and Blood: 478000] (Expand to view past Qi and Blood growth)

[Qingfeng Palm: Breaking Limits]

[Iron Bone Skill: Perfection]

[Water Cloud Palm: Breaking Limits]

[Wild Wind Kick: Proficiency (160/200)]

[Title: Dark to the End (The world is still undecided, you and I are both dark horses. Wearing this title, your martial arts comprehension and perception will be enhanced in the dark night)]

[Fate: [Successful outcome]: The ultimate martial arts realm, perseverance, gradual progress, unstoppable momentum, no bottlenecks.]

In another day, he will break through to the fifteen orifices.

Lin Chen wrote down his Qi and blood values on a piece of paper, and then began to write numbers on the paper.

It's just a number. Even if someone came in now and saw what was on the paper, they wouldn't understand what he was writing.

Qi and blood = acupoints.

After writing this line on the paper, Lin Chen drew a cross on the equal sign.

There is no doubt that the breakthrough of the acupoints will inevitably lead to the growth of Qi and blood, but the growth of Qi and blood does not mean the breakthrough of the acupoints.

Whether it was taking the snake demon meat or bathing in the demon blood, including entering the special training ground later, his Qi and blood values had increased a lot. According to this increase in Qi values, he should have entered the fifteenth or sixteenth acupoint long ago.

But I am still in the Fourteen Apertures. The panel won’t lie, and my body won’t lie either.

Why can't the qi and blood that have increased out of nowhere impact more acupoints?
This doubt has been lingering in Lin Chen's mind ever since he ate the monster meat, but in order not to expose the fact that he had a panel, he did not ask the teachers.

The notes left by that predecessor mentioned more about the relationship between various acupoints and the speed of qi and blood circulation.

Use more Qi and blood to impact the acupoints, so that the Qi and blood do not pass through the Dantian, but go directly from one acupoint to another.

The reason why this predecessor's theory is so shocking and no one is willing to follow it is not just because of what Senior Zhao said, that the pain of the medicinal bath is too excruciating and only those with great willpower can persist.

More importantly, is it possible for Qi and blood to flow directly from one acupoint to another?
Is it really possible to achieve this just by relying on vigorous qi and blood?
Lin Chen did not accept it, precisely because of the last reason. He was afraid that this road would not work and would be a dead end, and he did not have the cost to make trial and error.

The children of the powerful and wealthy, even if they fail, can always turn back in the end.

But once he embarked on this path, he found out that it was a dead end. He wasted a lot of time and did not fall behind other students, which meant that he would never receive resource rewards from the Military Administration Department again.

The reason why he refused was that he didn't have the money to try and make mistakes.

"Perhaps, I should brush up on my knowledge of the martial arts training system."

During the one and a half years since he embarked on the road of martial arts, he was ignorant except for the year in the martial arts hall. After arriving at the martial arts hall, he spent more time practicing martial arts. Lin Chen found that he did not have a deep understanding of some martial arts training systems.

He had been to the libraries of both Jingshui and Zhenyue Martial Arts Schools, and there were some notes on martial arts training in them, but these notes were all from his senior brothers and sisters. When these senior brothers and sisters wrote down the notes, they were only talking about opening up the mind or practicing the internal organs, and the descriptions were not profound.

"When we return to the special training ground tomorrow, I will ask Instructor Min or the master of the school. I must at least have a thorough understanding of the conditions of the Qi, blood, and acupoints."

With a plan in mind, Lin Chen tore the paper into pieces and walked out of the study. However, what he didn't expect was that Senior Yan was standing in the yard waiting for him.

"Junior greets Senior Yan."

Yan Hean looked at Lin Chen. He knew clearly what had happened in the past few days.

"We're going back to the special training ground tomorrow?"

"Well, they only gave the disciples three days of vacation. We will rest in Wuyuan for one night today and leave tomorrow."

Lin Chen was not surprised that Senior Yan would say the word "special training ground". Ever since Senior Yan took him to see the Thousand Hammers Diagram, he felt that the energy of Wuyuan was no worse than that of Wuzhengsi.

"The road to martial arts is long, and it is normal to have some setbacks along the way. No one's martial arts journey is smooth sailing."

"Thank you for your comfort, senior. I understand."

"You are a man of determination and self-determination. You can figure it out on your own without me saying anything more." Yan Hean's eyes were shining as he looked at Lin Chen: "Let me tell you something. Hongdu Prefecture also has a martial arts garden, and your competitor is also favored by the martial arts garden."

Lin Chen was stunned. His competitor?
To be honest, he knew that other prefectures had also put forward students to compete for the model student of Jiangnan Dao, but he did not know who these students were, nor did he make a special effort to find out. Because in his opinion, who would be the model student of Jiangnan Dao was not something that a mere martial artist at the Enlightenment stage like him could decide, but it had to be decided by the upper echelons like Lord Qiu.

"In terms of strength, the one from Hongdu Prefecture is the best. He was in seclusion recently to break through the internal organs. I think he will enter the internal organs realm in a few days."

"The students from the other three prefectures are not as strong as that one, but your advantage is that you come from a poor family. You are designated as a role model for Jiangnan Dao students and can serve as an inspiration to the students at Jiangnan Dao Martial Arts School."

"If it weren't for this advantage, if Jiangnan Dao wanted to select a model student, it would definitely be the one from Hongdu Prefecture."

Seeing Lin Chen in a daze, Yan Hean sighed in his heart. Originally, the Huo family was targeting Lin Chen, and he was thinking about whether to help. But he learned from Elder Zhao that Hongdu Mansion Wuyuan favored Li Zhe, just like Poyang County Wuyuan's attitude towards Lin Chen.

Both of them are rising stars that Wu Yuan is optimistic about.

He even learned more inside information from Elder Zhao. Qiu Rufeng, the former director of the Military Affairs Department of Raozhou Prefecture, also knew these inside information, but he would not tell Lin Chen.

"There is a proverb among the people of Daliang that says, 'The palms and backs of your hands are all made of flesh.' This also applies to the Jiangnan Dao Wuzheng Hall."

"You think of the Wuzheng Hall as the head of a wealthy family. You and that guy are the two promising children in this family. When two children fight, the head of the family will not be partial to either. But if one side uses the power of the mother family to suppress the other side, it will break the rules."

Yan Hean's eyes were filled with meaning. "As I said before, we are all made of flesh. If we cannot prove that the child instructed his mother to do this, then perhaps his mother acted on her own initiative. If you were the parent, how would you handle this matter?"

Lin Chen pondered for a moment and said, "Deal with his mother's family, but there will be no punishment for his son."

"So, the outcome of this matter is that Xing Huaifeng was demoted. This is the explanation given by the Wuzheng Hall to you and Poyang County." Yan Hean relayed Elder Zhao's analysis to Lin Chen.

According to Elder Zhao's analysis, the Military Affairs Office would not even punish the Li and Huo families because these two families were not openly involved in the matter.

In the eyes of the Military Affairs Office, Li Yuan and Lin Chen are the same, and they may even value Li Yuan more.

Lin Chen could actually guess how the Military Administration Department would handle the matter. The matter would end with Xing Huaifeng being fired.

Compared to the Wuzheng Hall, he was now more curious about what Wuyuan was like.

Hongdu Prefecture also has a martial arts garden, so the martial arts garden searches for potential students from all over Daliang for training?
"Senior Yan, I'm curious about what Wu Yuan is?"

"Originally, I shouldn't have told you, but Elder Zhao gave me permission before he left." Yan Hean looked at Lin Chen and said word by word: "Lin Chen, I want to ask you, are you willing to officially join Wuyuan!"

"Senior, you haven't told me the answer yet." Lin Chen smiled.

"The existence of the Martial Arts Garden has only one purpose, to attract human martial arts talents and explore a path to the pinnacle of martial arts."

"Martial Garden has branches in many countries, but it does not participate in disputes between countries. No matter which country a warrior is from, as long as he meets the standards of Martial Garden, he can join Martial Garden and become a formal member of Martial Garden. He can then enjoy the resources of Martial Garden. Of course, these resources are not free, but require Martial Garden points to redeem. Every member who joins Martial Garden will receive 100 contribution points, which can be regarded as the help provided by Martial Garden for new talented warriors like you."

"I see!"

Lin Chen's eyes were shining. No wonder Lord Su did not object to him having more contact with Wu Yuan. Wu Yuan did not belong to any particular force.

"Senior Yan, if I join the Martial Garden, are there any other requirements?"

Yan Hean smiled slightly. He knew what Lin Chen was worried about and explained, "Wuyuan never asks any member to do anything. It is more often issued in the form of tasks. Members who accept tasks can get certain contribution points as rewards. It is up to the members themselves whether to accept the task or not. Wuyuan will never force them."

"Junior is willing to join Wuyuan."

Senior Yan had made it so clear that Lin Chen couldn't think of any reason to refuse.

Joining Wuyuan will only benefit you and not harm you.

"When you understand Wuyuan, you will know what today's decision means to you." Hearing Lin Chen's agreement, Yan Hean patted Lin Chen's shoulder meaningfully: "Joining Wuyuan requires the review of the elders, but Elder Zhao has agreed. This matter is just a formality."

"Senior Yan, can I use the 100 contribution points now?"

"Do you want to use it now?"

Yan Hean didn't expect Lin Chen to be so impatient. Although according to the rules, Lin Chen has not yet been officially registered and is not in compliance with the regulations, Elder Zhao of Poyang County Wuyuan has the final say, and Elder Zhao will not object, so a few minor violations are nothing.

"You don't even know what you can exchange your contribution points for. What do you want to exchange your contribution points for?"

"I would like to exchange for some martial arts experience on the Qi and blood of the awakening state."

Although Lin Chen made the request on a whim, he had thought it over carefully in his mind.

According to what Senior Yan said, Wuyuan is an organization of martial artists pursuing the pinnacle of martial arts, so its research on martial arts must be unique. After all, Wuyuan is also a multinational super power that has absorbed the essence of martial arts from various countries.

"There is a book on martial arts experience in the awakening state of qi and blood in the library of the martial arts garden, but..."

Yan Hean's ears suddenly twitched: "One hundred contribution points are just enough. I will go get them for you right away."

"Excuse me, senior."

……

……

Yan Hean left the yard and went to another yard immediately. When he saw Zhao Qianqiu in red, he hurriedly said, "Elder, you are back."

"Go get that notebook for Lin Chen."

"Elder, the contribution points stipulated in the secret book are 500 points. Lin Chen..."

Yan Hean just wanted to say this to Lin Chen, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he heard Elder Zhao's secret words in his ears, so he changed his words in the end.

"I will give him this share."

Zhao Qianqiu rubbed his brows and saw the doubts in Yan Hean's heart but did not explain.

She would not tell Yan Hean that the reason she gave Lin Chen convenience was because she almost had a fight with that old man Jiang Zhikai from Hongdu Mansion.

Since Jiang Zhikai values Li Zhe, then he will bet on Lin Chen.

"You are fighting with that Li Zhe, and I am also fighting with that old man." Zhao Qianqiu whispered
……

……

"Mr. Lin, I've been waiting for a long time."

After a cup of tea, Yan Hean reappeared in Lin Chen's yard with a book in his hand.

"This book cannot be taken out of Wuyuan, and Master Lin must promise not to reveal the contents of the book to others. Otherwise, if Wuyuan finds out, Master Lin's membership will be revoked."

"Junior will remember it."

Lin Chen could understand why Wu Yuan did this.

This is one of the bargaining chips that Wuyuan uses to attract talented students. If Wuyuan's collection of books is easily leaked, its attractiveness to those talented students will be greatly reduced.

"In that case, I will not bother Master Lin. As for other rules of the Martial Garden, I will inform you in detail when Master Lin returns to the Martial Garden after his special training."

Yan Hean left with a smile. Lin Chen did not waste any time and started flipping through the book in his hand in the yard.

The Essentials of True Blood Refining

【Qi and blood are the carriers of vitality.】

[Blood is the carrier, and qi is the sail. ]

[Blood: stored in the twenty-four orifices like water in rivers]

[Qi: Traveling through the meridians like a hurricane pushing a boat.]

[Opening the orifices refers to blood, and training the organs refers to qi. 】

[When a person's Qi and blood grow, no matter if they eat monster meat or take precious medicine, what grows is virtual blood. When the acupoints are broken through, the blood that grows is real blood.]

[It is easy to replenish deficient blood, but it is difficult to increase true blood. 】

[I have spent thirty years training hundreds of disciples to open their minds, and finally came to the conclusion that virtual blood is the foundation of true blood, and acupoints are the furnace for condensing virtual blood into true blood. Therefore, I wrote this book and named it the Essentials of True Blood Refining Acupoints.]

……

In the yard, Lin Chen's eyes were shining. This senior's notes on qi and blood... mainly the research on blood was extremely thorough, which made him feel like he had suddenly realized something.

Many unclear points in the past became clear to me after reading this book.

"Virtual blood is the root of true blood. When a warrior attempts to open his orifices, each acupoint is like a furnace, refining virtual blood into true blood. The more orifices are opened, the more virtual blood will be refined into true blood."

"In addition, the amount of virtual blood also affects the amount of true blood refined by the acupoints. My current blood and qi value is close to 500,000. Naturally, the amount of true blood refined by the acupoints is much higher than that of those students whose blood and qi value is 200,000."

"As for Qi, according to what this senior said, it is the fundamental factor that affects the speed of Qi and blood circulation. The breathing methods of those entry-level exercises are a way to regulate Qi."

"True blood is originally stored in the twenty-four acupoints, while the false blood is stored in the seventy-two small acupoints that accompany the twenty-four acupoints. Because Qi is stored in Dantian, it is necessary to pass through Dantian to use Qi to drive the circulation of blood."

“But if the small acupoints accompanying the twenty-four acupoints are all refined into true blood, the true blood will spontaneously form a tide of qi and blood without passing through the dantian.”

"The method of refining true blood from false blood mentioned in this senior's notes, combined with the theory of that old senior, may actually be successful."

There was a gleam in Lin Chen's eyes. This approach could be tried. At least he could use an acupoint to verify it.

All the virtual blood in the three small acupoints associated with one acupoint will be refined into real blood.

That night, Lin Chen wrote and drew in the study until the sky turned white. Looking at the dozens of papers on the table, a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

The next moment, Lin Chen burned all the papers, rubbed his tired eyes, and went into the bedroom to rest for a while.

For him, this night, working on the plan to refine his entire body's energy and blood was far more tiring than practicing martial arts.

……

……

Early the next morning, Lin Chen returned "The Essentials of True Blood Refining" to Yan He'an, went to the county pier, and took a boat directly to Linhu Village.

Jiang Kui's boat was already waiting at the shore of Linhu Village.

"Why don't you go home and say goodbye to your family?"

Jiang Kui saw Lin Chen boarding the ship directly and asked in surprise.

He also learned some of what happened to the Lin family when he talked with Lord Su. He knew that something had happened to the Lin family and that some families were targeting Lin Chen.

"I said goodbye to my family yesterday and I'm not going back."

Lin Chen explained with a smile, and Jiang Kui didn't say anything else. He turned his feet, and the cruise ship flexibly changed direction and headed towards the depths of Poyang Lake.

……

……

Special training ground.

Lin Chen returned to the bamboo forest. Senior Zhao was not there, so he could only throw the medicine bag prepared by Senior Zhao into the jar himself and then set it on fire.

Wait until the medicine in the vat becomes boiling hot, then take off your clothes and enter the vat.

The medicinal liquid hardened his bones, and Lin Chen's expression was hideous with pain. Every time he was soaked in the medicinal liquid, it was a painful torture.

Half an hour later.

Lin Chen climbed out of the tank tiredly and dragged his exhausted body towards the manure pit.

The next moment, he jumped into the cesspool without hesitation.

Today, the fifteen orifices should be opened.

In the past, Lin Chen would choose to use Qingfeng Palm or Shuiyun Palm to mobilize the qi and blood to impact the acupoints in one go.

But since I have decided to take another path, according to what the senior said, when I break through the acupoints, I need to refine more essence and blood and I cannot do it all at once.

Bang, bang, bang!
Lin Chen could feel the vibrations in his fifteen acupoints at this moment. This was caused by sufficient Qi and blood and the constant impact.

Every wave of impact made his whole body tremble.

If you impact the acupoints with one breath, it will feel very comfortable. However, if you rely on the qi and blood themselves to impact, the process will be extremely slow and painful.

According to that senior, this will cause the true blood in the acupoints to collide with the acupoints.

The acupoints of ordinary people are like rusty locks. A success is achieved when the virtual blood penetrates 30%. Then the real blood cleanses and completely breaks through the acupoints.

……

……

Once, twice, three times, four times...

Lin Chen was sweating all over, he clenched his teeth tightly, and his body was shaking slightly.

He could feel that the bones and meridians where the acupoints were located were beginning to become disordered under the impact of this true blood.

But at the same time, the energy from the manure pond mucus was constantly flowing into his body, repairing the damaged bones and meridians at the acupoints.

Snapped!
I don’t know how much time had passed, but a crisp sound came from the acupoints. Lin Chen immediately looked towards the location of the fifteenth acupoint.

The skin on the surface was as transparent as amber, and the bone marrow and meridians were vaguely visible, but after a moment, it returned to normal.

at the same time.

The panel once again appeared in front of Lin Chen.

[Detecting changes to the host's martial arts path, the panel will be updated soon...]
