Chapter 77 Unexpected Breakthrough

After Qin Hao spat out a large mouthful of blood, he felt slightly comfortable. He had been holding it in before and made himself extremely uncomfortable.

He sat on the floor, leaning against the door with rapid breathing. He was too weak to climb into bed.

After sitting there for a few minutes, he felt as if he had some strength. He finally got up and shakily climbed into the bed.

He struggled to get into a meditative position on the bed and tried to heal his injury by refining Qi in his body. He was still being hunted down, so he had to recover as soon as possible. Otherwise, he would be killed if he couldn't protect himself in a place like Wuliu Town.

The second level of Qi Refining of the Eternity Spell could have allowed him to heal his injuries faster and more comprehensively than before. But this time, he didn't even finish circulating his spiritual energy for an entire period, he felt something clogging up his chest and spat out another mouthful of blood.

This time he suffered the worst internal injury in his life. The collision with the "gorilla" had almost shattered his heart, then he had even raised the "gorilla" high up, consuming a large amount of his spiritual energy. If he hadn't held it back in the pub, he would have spat blood in the pub.

Kong Kim was too strong. Even he was not a martial Cultivator, but he was better than a martial Cultivator. In terms of brute force, those people from ancient martial sects who had reached their early period of the Inner Stage wouldn't match him.

Qin Hao continued trying to adjust his breathing. What made him depressed was that every time he was refining, his Qi and blood would churn; thus he was unable to continue healing himself. Doing so could only cause him to keep spitting blood. He did not have that much Qi and blood! It looked like there was something wrong with his meridians.

What should he do?

Qin Hao frowned. After thinking for a while, he recalled of the Blood Core Grass in his bosom that he nearly forgot about!

Blood Core Grass was a spiritual herb, in the Spirit Martial Continent — the continent where the other soul, Yuan Hao located was only a very common and low-level spiritual herb, however on the Earth, Bloody Core Grass was extremely rare. People always fought for it with their head broken and bleeding, which would even cost their lives.

Qin Hao took out the box, opened it and took out the Blood Core Grass. It was indeed a spiritual herb. Although it had been plucked for a long time, it was still so red and beautiful. There were almost no signs of withering.

The stem of this Blood Core Grass was as thin as a chopstick and about five centimeters in length. From the color, it was a superior Blood Core Grass. The redder and brighter the color was, the longer it grew, the higher its grade was. It had to say that Qin Hao was quite lucky to have a stalk of Superior Grade Blood Core Grass.

Generally speaking, the best way to use a spiritual herb was to refine it into a medicinal pill, it would be less useful to boil it into a medicinal soup, the worst way was taking it directly.

However, Qin Hao had no other choice right now. He did not know how to refine pills at all; it needed other supporting ingredients for boiling it into a medicinal soup. Furthermore, Qin Hao was too weak to craw, how could he possibly cook a medicinal soup? Thus, he could only take it directly. Although it was a bit of a waste, it was the only choice.

Before taking it, he pinched the tip and put it back in the box. He had another use for it tomorrow. Then he divided the Blood Core Grass in his hand into three parts, each time took one part. At this time, he had completely forgotten about his promise to Mo Yong that he should return the Blood Core Grass to Mo Yong after he found Ayte. However, a promise was nothing compared to healing himself.

Blood Core Grass was not only bitter, but also stinky, so its alias was Red Smelly Grass. A person would throw it far away just by smelling it, let alone eat it raw like this.

With a sour face, Qin Hao put the stalk of Blood Core Grass into his mouth and swallowed it. The bitter, smelly feeling numbed his mouth.

Fortunately, the Blood Core Grass quickly came into effect. Not only could it release spiritual energy, but also dredge meridians and stimulate the flow of blood. This was the effect of Qin Hao's first consumption. All spiritual herbs would show their effects very quickly for the first time they were used. However, the effects would not be evident after taking it more.

Qin Hao did not dare to waste it and immediately utilized the Eternity Spell to heal his injury and to absorb the Blood Core Grass's medicinal properties as much as possible. The spiritual energy within his body slowly became smooth, and he could feel that part of his meridians was slightly expanding, and the blocked areas were slowly opening.

Expanding meridians was a must condition to raise one's cultivation level. Every time a cultivator increased their cultivation stage, his body would be able to contain more spiritual energy. The place that held spiritual energy was a person's meridians.

Qin Hao didn't expect the Blood Core Grass to be able to expand his meridians. He was overjoyed. Without caring about the bitter and smelly taste, he immediately threw another piece of Blood Core Grass into his mouth, chewed and swallowed it.

The second piece of the Blood Core Grass formed a warm current in Qin Hao's body, stimulating the blood flowing and knocking the block in his meridians. Every time of the knocking made his meridians enlarged like blowing the balloon, and Qin Hao felt a pain inside. Fortunately, he could still endure the effects of the medicine. Soon, he was covered in sweat, and the muscles on his face were contorted in pain. But the pain was worth it, he would benefit significantly from the expansion of his meridians.

Just like that, Qin Hao endured the entire night in pain. He ate three parts of the Blood Core Grass and wanted to eat more, but there was none left.

"Whew." Qin Hao breathed a deep sigh of relief, indicating that his treatment was over. At this time, his internal injuries had recovered to about seventy to eighty percent, and he had received a surprise - his cultivation had increased by a small level, from the early stage of Second Stage Martial Cultivator to the middle period. Right now, all the martial cultivators below the Perfection Stage were no longer his match.

It was already 11 AM. Baldy followed Qin Hao's instructions and didn't disturb him.

"Brother Baldy, when Brother Qin could be recovered？ It was already noon. No, I must get him up. I personally stewed a 'Sweet Honey Love Soup' for him. If he doesn't eat it now, it will become cold and taste not good anymore. " Xiao Xiaoyan stood in front of the door. She wanted to knock the door several times, but Baldy stopped her.

Baldy wanted to laugh when he heard Xiao Xioayan mention the name of the soup, Sweet Honey Love Soup. It was just a pot of pork chop soup with some lotus seeds cut into the shape of a heart.

"No, Xiaoyan, listen up. Brother Qin asked not to disturb him." Baldy was more anxious than Xiao Xiaoyan. He knew that it was very possible that Qin Hao had internal injuries. He must have spent the entire night healing himself. A whole morning had passed, there was still no movement inside. Could there be some sort of problem? However, he also understood that the most forbidden thing for Martial Cultivators was a sudden disturb when they were healing themselves. It was easy for them to go berserk or cause some mishap. Thus, no matter how impatient he was, he could only wait.

Baldy could understand this; however, Xiao Xiaoyan didn't. After waiting for a few more minutes, she really couldn't wait any longer. Pulling on Baldy's arms like a spoiled child, she tried to pull him away from the door of Qin Hao's room, "Big Bro Baldy, get out of the way. It's already so late, he shall also have enough rest. My soup is still waiting for Brother Qin."

"Xiaoyan, be a good girl, don't cause trouble."

"No, no, no. If you don't move away, I'm not going to stop."

The girl started to act like a child. Baldy, a boorish man, could do nothing. At this moment, the door behind him creaked open.

"Brother Qin, you've finally woken up. Did you rest well last night?" Xiao Xiaoyan shook off Baldy’s hand and immediately jumped in front of Qin Hao, asking him with a sweet smile on her face.

Qin Hao smiled, "I've had a good rest."

"That's good...Ah, why there is blood in your room?" Xiao Xiaoyan suddenly shouted.

Baldy was reminded by her shout and hurriedly looked towards Qin Hao's room. Indeed, there was a lot of blood on the floor. It was the blood that Qin Hao had spat out last night.

"Brother Qin, are you alright?" Baldy looked at Qin Hao and asked worriedly. However, Qin Hao looked healthy again.

Qin Hao looked at the blood on the floor and laughed, "I'm fine now. I'm sorry that I have messed up your guest room. "

"It's good that you're fine. It doesn't matter that the guest room is dirty. Xiaoyan, clean it up." Baldy immediately instructed.

"Ok, I'll clean it right away." This was the first time when the little girl was so hospitable, "Brother Qin, go and wash up first, we'll have lunch very soon."

"Oh, okay." Qin Hao answered and walked to the washroom.

When Qin Hao walked out, he suddenly remembered someone. He hastily called out to Baldy who was arranging the dishes in the dining room, "Baldy."

Hearing the shout, the baldy put down bowls and chopsticks and ran over. "Brother Qin, what's the matter?"

"Where is the foreigner Ayte?"

"He's in his room."

"Let's talk to him."

"How about after dinner?"

"We'll eat later." Qin Hao was anxious to know more about Blood Core Grass, how could he have the mood to eat? If he could obtain a large amount of Blood Core Grass, not only would he cure An Ru's mother, he could also use it to increase his own strength quickly. His thoughts were too good. He could just raise his strength by a small level for the first time of using Blood Core Grass. Moreover, the blockage in his meridians was not very serious. If he used it for the next time, even with a significant amount, there would not be such a magic effect.

Baldy had no choice but to bring Qin Hao to Ayte's room: "Brother Qin, he might have been frightened last night, so his condition is not good."

"Isn't he a pirate? So timid?" Qin Hao felt a little disdain towards him.

"Err..." Baldy didn't know what to say. The shocking scene last night was nothing special to Qin Hao, but anyone on site was terrified. Baldy had been scared silly. Luckily, he was on Qin Hao's side. Otherwise, he would have been as scared as Beatles last night.

Soon the two of them stood outside Ayte's room. When Baldy knocked on the door, Ayte's scream came from inside, "No, don't kill me, don't kill me."

Qin Hao frowned, "It seems that this guy is terrified. Let's kick out the door."

BOOM! Baldy was startled by the loud sound. Qin Hao broke the door with one kick. He did so like he was in his own house.

"Ah, the devil, the devil... Don't kill me, don't kill me! God, I am your pious servant, please save me." When Ayte saw Qin Hao walking in, it was as though he had seen a ghost. He screamed and ducked under the bed. But his body was too long, and his buttocks were still exposed outside.
