Martial arts immortality begins with upgrading buildings.

After finishing his work at the dock, Chen Qing gained some experience as a porter.

Then he returned to the shack, changed into his training clothes, and headed towards the county town.

He arrived at the Wujiquan Society and continued to practice stance training diligently under Guo Hong's guidance.

Around noon, they would have a hearty and nutritious lunch and drink a bowl of blood-strengthening soup to boost their health.

During that time, I chatted with Wu Shun and learned various information from him.

He continued practicing diligently in the afternoon.

After a day, the experience gained from Wuji stance training only increased slightly, and a little more Qi and blood was added to the body.

At this rate, it would take a full one hundred days to become an external martial arts master.

However, he also learned from Wu Shun that if he could take more nourishing foods like the Blood-Strengthening Soup, he could speed up the process of refining his blood and qi.

Most of the apprentices from the outer academy would spend extra money to buy supplements.

Therefore, many apprentices with average physical constitution can accumulate 100 strands of Qi and blood in about two months and attempt to break through the barrier.

However, breaking through the barrier is difficult, and usually only one out of ten people can succeed on the first try and become an external martial arts master.

If you fail to break through the barrier, you will lose most of your vital energy and blood, and you will need to start all over again.

At the same time, if the root bone is damaged, the success rate will be greatly reduced, and the upper limit will be locked. Even if you manage to break through by chance, you can only cultivate up to the level of internal strength at most.

If one fails to break through the barrier again, although there will still be a chance to recharge one's Qi and blood and try to break through again, one will only be able to remain at the level of external strength for life.

If one fails three times, one's physical constitution will be completely ruined, leaving permanent health problems and making one's body even worse than that of an ordinary person.

The Wuji Quan Club has strict requirements. Failing to pass a level once means losing all potential and no longer being eligible to stay.

The number of apprentices in the outer academy is large, but every day some people fail to pass the test and leave in disappointment.

Chen Qing doesn't need to worry about that.

He only needs to continuously refine his qi and blood, and once his qi and blood reach a hundred strands, he will naturally be able to break through the gate.

However, the current blood-boosting process is still too slow, so we need to find a way to increase the intake of supplements.

After a day of training, Chen Qing dragged his aching body to the street where he usually bought groceries and went into a poultry shop.

"The effectiveness of the spirit beast circle still needs to be verified. Just to be on the safe side, let's buy a small amount first and see how it goes."

Chen Qing pondered to himself.

So I only bought one laying hen, five newly hatched chicks, and a small amount of chicken feed.

On the way back, Chen Qing took advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention and quietly put the chickens and chicken feed he had just bought into the spirit beast enclosure. While traveling, he kept an eye on the chickens.

After observing them all the way, it was discovered that these chickens were noticeably more active in the spirit beast circle than in the outside world.

As soon as Chen Qing returned to the shed, the big hen laid three silly eggs.

It's important to know that a normal hen typically lays only one egg per day.

Only under extremely special circumstances will they lay two eggs.

Three eggs were laid in such a short time; the effect of the spirit beast circle was truly amazing.

"If each chicken can lay three eggs a day, I can raise several thousand or even tens of thousands of chickens. Just selling the eggs would bring in a considerable income."

Chen Qing was filled with longing and daydreaming.

When his consciousness returned to reality, he first practiced a few sets of Baduanjin to relieve the soreness in his body, then started cooking to fill the void left by the afternoon's exertion, and after eating, he continued to practice Wuji Zhuang.

Over the next few days, Chen Qing lived a very regular life.

He would do odd jobs, practice his skills, and then take some time to stroll around Qin Gen's courtyard.

Perhaps Qin Gen was being overly cautious, but the number of people coming and going from his courtyard had noticeably increased these past few days.

According to Zhou Tao, Qin Gen has not been seen at the dock for several days in a row.

Chen Qing couldn't find an opportunity to make a move for a while.

Through these days of observation, the effectiveness of the spirit beast circle has been verified.

That big hen lays at least two eggs a day, and yesterday she laid three eggs again.

None of the five chicks died, and they doubled in size, growing much faster than normal chicks.

Moreover, the chicken droppings are directly absorbed by the soil, so Chen Qing doesn't need to clean them up at all.

The only thing he felt was that none of the chickens had evolved.

Chen Qing felt that there were not enough chickens, so after finishing his training, he went to the poultry shop and bought thirty adult hens and three hundred chicks.

Including the chicken feed, it cost him a total of twenty dollars.

These days, his blood and qi have accumulated to eight strands, and his daily appetite is gradually increasing.

Every day, just eating costs a lot of money.

His total assets have now shrunk to three dollars.

"When will I ever become rich?!"

Chen Qing gave a wry smile.

With his current daily income, he is completely unable to make ends meet.

He hoped that the hens would lay more eggs every day so that he could sell them and make money to cover his daily expenses.

Chen Qing returned to the shack and, as usual, practiced the Eight Pieces of Brocade a few times to relieve his body's soreness.

After typing it three times, a line of small text suddenly appeared in front of me.

[Eight-Section Brocade experience maxed out, starting to break limits]

"Without realizing it, I've already maxed out my experience with the Eight Pieces of Brocade."

Chen Qing was overjoyed and quickly looked at his personal panel, where he found that the skills and talents sections had changed.

[Skills: Eight-Section Brocade (one-time limit 0/500), Wuji Stance (8/100)]

[Talent: Repair]

[Repair: Continuously repairs minor damage to the body, eliminates fatigue, and keeps the body in a healthy state.]

"Not bad, not bad, it's actually a passive talent."

Chen Qing was extremely excited and immediately began practicing Wuji stance in the shack.

During this period, he practiced Wuji stance with unparalleled skill, and could hold the three stances together for three minutes.

This time, however, he clearly sensed something different from usual.

Although my muscles were still very sore during the drills, I always felt a force inside me constantly repairing the soreness.

Although the repair process was slow, it still greatly extended the time he could stand in the stance.

When Chen Qing collapsed to the ground uncontrollably, she discovered that she had actually lasted for six minutes this time.

Moreover, in just thirty seconds, the stinging sensation in his body had completely disappeared, and his body had returned to its optimal state.

"What a terrifying effect!"

Chen Qing was extremely surprised.

This passive talent improved his stationary combat effectiveness several times over.

Under normal circumstances, it would take about ten days to accumulate a trace of qi and blood by relying solely on the nutrients provided by ordinary food.

If you drink a bowl of blood-strengthening soup every day, you can fill your body with one hundred strands of qi and blood after three months.

Chen Qing only has inferior physical constitution, so it may take even longer for him to cultivate his qi and blood.

However, with the talent for repair, under sufficient nutrition, it only takes two days to accumulate a wisp of qi and blood.

In addition, a bowl of blood-nourishing soup every day adds a bit of qi and blood.

In just over two months, Chen Qing was able to replenish his Qi and blood.

It greatly reduces the time required to deplete qi and blood.

If some other supplements are added, this time can be shortened even further.
