Chapter 20: bloodshed
In a garden, situated somewhere in the mountains, one could see two women seated and each had a unique temperament.
Flowers could also be seen on the sidelines, though pretty each was emitting strong spear intent.
After having visited the mountain and her master escaping, Ruruo was brought to this place by the ‘crazy’ Si Wanrou. Looking at this place, Ruruo couldn’t help but admire it.
It seemed to contrast with the aggressive woman sitting before her. But that was not all, she could actually see that the treasures in this place were indeed everywhere.
Even the ginseng in the distance seemed very old, perhaps beyond hundred years in age.
Although she had tried some means to plant small cut pieces into the garden, he was not sure how long it would take for it to become ready for use.
At the same time, he had wasted an entire year, due to not having a good martial art for body refinement.
.....
Body refinement, unlike other martial arts, was focused on developing body potential.
It was also a difficult route without enough resources to support it.
Wang could tell this and thus was very eager to find another way to deal with it.
He was sure it was too much work, thankfully over this period he continued to improve his medical skills and even set up a medical clinic.
Through this, he planned to develop some connections and then obtain some things that could be more convenient.
He had the ambition to come up with a way to obtain a steady flow of resources in the future to make his path of cultivation much simpler.
As much as he seemed to have been wasting his time, the martial arts he practiced had also been improved by two levels over the year.
He had already stepped into the middle stages of blood refinement.
In the same way, his physique improved by a larger margin, but the most important thing was that the blood Qi in his body was very exaggerated.
The numerous techniques he had used to train this realm might be the reason, but the coexistence of the forces could be something to do without the attribute panel.
At the same time, he was glad that he improved the techniques to the same level, thus allowing the forces to slowly but surely coverage and merge.
With this regardless of what techniques he has added over the years, managed to be incorporated without bringing any waves.
His body has undergone a huge transformation inside out.
During this period, he made a reputation among the commoners for his medical skills but at the same time, didn’t bother to interact with the rich, he was aware it would just end up wasting his time.
The commoners however had their eyes everywhere and he had gained immense information from them.
For those with background, he has only treated one person, and the individual gave him another medical material he was impressed with.
It was some sunflower and half a year back he had removed the seeds before planting half and consuming the others.
During this period, he was impressed by the essence contained in the sunflower.
Back in his home world, the sunflower was just an empty title but in this world, he could feel the strong Yang essence from the seeds.
After using it to cultivate, he had managed to strengthen the blood Qi in his body and even Yang element added to it.
The effect was much better than the ginseng roots he had used before to cultivate.
It is also the reason he was very much dedicated to his farming, other than the medical clinic he visited occasionally.
He had a schedule that he followed and Ago would always come to remind him, in case he got involved too much in his activities.
He has thus been using patients to study the human body and analyze a way to generate a superior technique for body refinement.
During the year he had depended on the technique and sunflower seeds to make progress, but it also halted, but at his current level he had still gone very far.
But he couldn’t make his physique stronger without a proper method to cultivate.
From the ancient texts he had gathered, nobody’s cultivation techniques could be seen.
But even with a huge collection of techniques from the library, it proved very difficult to find what he wanted in the end.
He was in no hurry at all, after all the body technique was something he needed urgently and by obtaining one, his physical body state could be further enhanced.
The best way this to take the path of creating a technique himself, but he knew that was nonsense with his current self.
Perhaps he could imitate some techniques to attack but creating one was not possible at all. The most important thing to note was that such a technique would have to consider the human body.
His understanding of the human body was still minute and would take him a lot of time to gain some actual headway in that than it is to cultivate even the hardest of techniques for people with average talent.
He at least could still gauge that his strength was still increasing daily due to the martial stats techniques he had learned.
Every time they circulated his body more and more changes happened with his meridians being slowly expanded and strengthened.
He could usually feel his perception improve slightly. At that, he could already guess that his body strength had advanced slightly too.
He taught Ago singing so that he can help him take care of some trivial things.
Even at the moment, he had already moved past marrow cleansing and jumped at the entry of blood refinements that Wang referred to as level two with some help of the ginseng to improve blood energy in his body.
He had also obtained a ginseng root when he passed the illusion test back then.
Using it he managed to take a stop through to level one and then advanced again recently.
It was due to Wang’s advice that he didn’t rush straight ahead or he could attain that with the ginseng.
Even with the huge capabilities of the spirit, to analyze and dissect the techniques in his hand, coming up with a body refinement art requires more than just a fusion of the already existing exercises.
In this respect once wanted to do it but after a few attempts, he already saw this route to have no future.
But taking the essence and incorporating it into each other was acceptable as such he used the same method to peak the blood regiment realm.
But that would require him to go all the way to perfection of the techniques he had used so far.
The ambition he has thus kept him from advancing even with the resources he holds.
He needs to allow his body to stop improving before he can take another step ahead.
He thought of his previous life’s knowledge of the essence of balance in an equation, but this required his understanding of the existing techniques to perfection.
He thus has most of his consciousness deducing and passing through the techniques he learned and he knows that the most important thing for beginners is to strengthen blood energy.
After that, he can then go to flesh and bones, and thus a technique in his current level should only put blood as a focus.
In that way, he can then incorporate other means after he reached the ninth level.
[Perhaps I need more than a year to come up with a good technique, but I can’t postpone improving my strength so much.
I should probably at least, deal try getting a hang of fusion force first. The most important that way I can be able to see the road of intent in the future.]
The idea was indeed crazy, but also greasy at the same time.
Having the brain do more than one thing is indeed something difficult.
But improvements to his spirit motivated him to begin.
But to accomplish it wouldn’t be that easy, Intent coming from nowhere is indeed difficult.
But he seemed to be trying to do it, on one hand, to come up with a trump card and on the other save time.
The period of one year was indeed not small, for him. The things he could do in that time should be a lot.
The same night, he was feeling somehow through his perception that figures were moving swiftly towards their residence through the cover of darkness.
He could still see their way of dressing did not seem like someone coming for something good.
He could also see they were all close to normal blood refinement experts.
He stood up and decided to intercept them when he heard their conversation through his perception.
[Make it like a robbery, our client also doesn’t want anyone in the residence to realize our existence otherwise even we might be coming out alive]
After listening to some of their discussions he was already feeling something was not right, but he failed to get any idea who the client mentioned.
He didn’t care about that though, as, from the word go, he moved from the room stealthily towards them.
He also wanted to test his capabilities against those of the same rank.
But he felt they were somehow weaker.
He had his reasons for doing this.
After going outside, he was already becoming a huge target, since he didn’t give off any impression of an expert.
The group immediately decided to take him and ask some questions before dealing with him.
Having been in this business for a long time, how could they be fools?
The most important thing was to prepare to avoid losses.
.....
This action was already something even Wang admired. But he was not here to make friends so he counted five shadows in the dark.
To get rid of them would be a huge hassle even for him. But they would probably not be willing to make it known of their sneaking into the residence.
With his study of medicine and martial arts at the same time, he could still immobilize them using some means but that would be too much work.
He left towards the medical garden and the group followed him from behind.
Only two were left, waiting for the information.
After arriving at the farm, Wang disappeared and the group spread out, they could easily handle him, so they thought.
But he naked up on them using his perception until all there were knocked out.
Taking out some rope he tied them up and sneaked around appearing from the opposite direction.
Seeing him, the remaining two were already alert, only to realize he did not seem panicked.
They relaxed and decided to catch him since the others lost him.
Three people couldn’t lose so they moved towards him, unfortunate they made the same fate of being knocked out and tied down.
He then made sure none could escape before going back to sleep. Earlybinntge morning, a huge commotion role him up.
“Who are those?” but he still asked.
“They are officers, we found some people passed out here turns out they were part of a gang wanted by the government. So we informed them.” Ruruo said.
She also somehow found it, weird after saying it.
But Wang was not very happy at all, his face was looking like he wanted to cry, he didn’t kill that group at all, but now all dead.
That meant someone from the mansion did it.
[Doesn’t matter anyway, since they cleaned themselves up, meddling might only make oneself a target]
