Chapter 17 Internal Energy Develops, Minor Success in Qi and Blood Cultivation
Bu Che had never thought of returning a favor before.
However, the restaurant staff made Bu Che truly understand what it means to reciprocate kindness...
Today, because I spent more time practicing the Battle Body Fist and Hammer, and the Stamping Technique to strengthen my physique, I arrived at the restaurant a little late.
Originally, I planned to come to the restaurant again, secretly stake out Zhao Laizi, and eavesdrop on what he was planning.
After all, Zhao Laizi had his eye on him, and there had already been a rift between them. What if Zhao Laizi plotted to deal with him?
If you can know in advance, you can naturally take precautions.
Of course, Bu Che, a new apprentice in a broken porcelain workshop, probably didn't have the status to make Zhao Laizi plot against him.
So, having missed the deadline today, Bu Che had given up hope, but unexpectedly, the shopkeeper actually inquired about it for him.
"Thanks, brother!" Bu Che's eyes flickered, and he patted the guy's shoulder heavily.
College students can call anyone "brother" without any hesitation.
The waiter's heart was pounding, and the smile in his eyes grew even wider.
"You can just call me A-Che," Bu Che said with a smile.
"How could that be? I call you Brother Che, and Brother Che will definitely have a bright future," the waiter said with a smile.
His expression then changed, and he pulled Bu Che to an empty table deep inside the restaurant. Lowering his voice, he said in a low, serious tone, "Brother Che, while I was delivering drinks to the private room, I secretly found out that Zhao Laizi invited Zhao Hu to a banquet in order to get Zhao Hu to help deal with a martial arts master named 'Zhang Hengyuan'!"
Dealing with Zhang Hengyuan?!
Bu Che's expression changed slightly. His guess had been confirmed, but he felt no relief whatsoever.
Although he had reminded Zhang Hengyuan, he didn't know if Zhang Hengyuan had really listened.
"Thank you, brother. Zhang Hengyuan is indeed related to me!" Bu Che said solemnly, taking out five coins from his money bag and handing them to the shopkeeper.
Thank you!
The shop assistant, however, looked serious and pushed the money back.
"Brother Che calls me 'brother,' that's a sign of respect. I can't accept this money! If I do, I'll lose face as Brother Che's brother!"
The waiter shoved the money back and went to serve Bu Che his dishes.
A moment later, a steaming half-pound of braised beef and a pot of warm yellow wine were served. The aroma of the wine and the meat mingled together, making Bu Che's mouth water!
With a broad smile, the waiter took the money from Bu Che and greeted him with a cheerful laugh, "Then enjoy your meal, Brother Che. I'm off to get busy, or the manager will scold me."
After finishing speaking, the waiter draped a white towel over his shoulder, bent over, and jogged off to greet the new customers.
Bu Che smiled and began to devour the beef with gusto.
Perhaps because of his diligent cultivation and two years of focused effort on the Xue family's Qi and Blood Technique, he was already starving and had an enormous appetite.
After eating the beef and drinking the rice wine, Bu Che felt refreshed and his stomach felt like it was in a furnace.
The Qi and Blood Gong began to circulate involuntarily, with countless hot blood surging through the body. In the dim light, the Qi and Blood flowing through the meridians seemed to slowly condense into an incomparably resilient aura.
This made Bu Che extremely happy!
"This aura... could it be the 'internal energy' mentioned in the martial arts manual?"
Bu Che was overjoyed!
He is only one year away from achieving minor success in Qi and Blood Technique. Once he has diligently cultivated his mind and reached the minor success stage, he will be able to condense a wisp of energy.
The emergence of internal energy is the key to unlocking the first realm of Ghost Martial Arts, the Body Refinement Realm, and entering the realm of internal energy!
"Gurgle, gurgle."
A thunderous sound came from my stomach, the stomach wall was churning, digesting the swallowed beef, and growing stronger blood and qi!
Sure enough, you have to eat well to practice martial arts!
This is just ordinary beef. What kind of effect will the "demon beast meat" that the waiter once mentioned have?!
However, considering that beef is already expensive, the meat of demon beasts must be even more pricey!
At least, it was not something a mere apprentice like him could afford.
The workers were busy at work. After saying hello, Bu Che left and returned to the apprentice compound. It was already late, and the apprentices who had finished work had all returned to their respective houses.
The heavy snow had already piled up a thick layer in the open courtyard of the apprentices' yard, and the snow crunched softly underfoot.
Back in the Seventeenth Chamber, the strong smell of feet and sweat hit them. The apprentices didn't have the habit of bathing, and they were covered in sweat from practicing martial arts and working all day, so the smell was truly pungent.
Bu Che frowned, returned to his bed, and sniffed himself. In fact, he didn't smell much better either.
With a thought, he picked up his cotton-padded coat and left Room 17.
After leaving the apprentice compound, I found an empty alley on Seli Street, slipped inside, took off my clothes, and grabbed some snow from the ground to rub on my body. The icy coldness was intense, but after circulating my qi and blood, I forcibly suppressed the chill.
As he rubbed the snow, as if he had taken a shower, Bu Che put his cotton-padded clothes back on. His whole body was warm, and heat was constantly radiating from under his skin.
When Bu Che returned to Room 17, he found that the bed next to him was still empty; Zhang Hengyuan had not returned.
Bu Che didn't seem to mind; Zhang Hengyuan's diligence was practically overflowing.
However, to Bu Che's surprise, Zhao Laizi and his henchmen did not return!
There's no such thing as room checks in the apprentices' courtyard. It was originally the residence arranged by the Xue family for the apprentices. If they had money, they could move out.
As long as you can get to work at the Xue family kiln on time and don't miss your job, Steward Liu won't interfere too much.
Bu Che sat cross-legged on the bed, took out the "Brightening Porcelain Powder" that Old Zhou had given him, and opened it while the others in the seventeenth room were not paying attention.
Inside was a clump of sticky white powder, emitting a strong medicinal smell that felt like it was going to burst through the meninges.
Bu Che frowned, took a deep breath, and then poured the entire packet of Cleansing Porcelain Powder into his mouth. He then took out his water pouch and gulped it down.
hot!
It's not the kind of spiciness you get when you eat chili peppers!
It's like biting into a huge chunk of wasabi, a spiciness that hits you right in the head!
"Holy shit!"
Bu Che's teeth marks were visible, and he was panting heavily through his mouth and nose, but the hot sensation rushed to his head, and his mind became incredibly clear and active!
The moment the porcelain shattered, it was as if struck by a heavy hammer, and the spirit became clearer and more resilient, just like boiling water.
Crumple the yellow paper containing the "Washing God Porcelain Powder" into a ball.
Bu Che sat cross-legged on the bed, taking advantage of his surging and active spirit to circulate the Xue Family Qi and Blood Technique!
The effects of this Cleansing Porcelain Powder... are just too good, aren't they?
Didn't Brother Kong Ci say that this thing is only for relieving mental stress and healing hidden mental injuries?
You call the feeling of having wasabi poured over your head "relieving stress"?
Bu Che gritted his teeth, beads of sweat the size of soybeans appearing on his forehead!
"Could it be because I haven't suffered any hidden emotional trauma?!"
This thought involuntarily surfaced in Bu Che's mind.
However, he soon forgot about it.
His spirit was boiling and vibrating. Following the circulation path of the Xue family's Qi and Blood Gong, he circulated his Qi and Blood, causing the boiling Qi and Blood to roar and circulate rapidly through his meridians like a fierce tiger descending the mountain!
The stinging sensation even came from the meridians!
This time, the speed at which Qi and blood circulate is faster than ever before!
One week!
Two days!
Two weeks have passed in the blink of an eye, but my energy level hasn't dropped at all!
continue!
Bu Che took a deep breath of the cold air, letting his turbulent mind slowly calm down.
Three cycles, four cycles, five cycles...
Bu Che simply focused on circulating the Xue Family Qi and Blood Technique!
Smoke billowed up from above their heads like smoke signals!
boom--!
Suddenly.
Bu Che felt as if a muffled thunderclap had exploded in his mind!
Then the lazy, broken ancient sword trembled, and two or three strands of sword energy trembled off.
This creates a complex web of information.
[Xue Family Qi and Blood Technique (Rank 9) Minor Success (4/4)]
In the fourth year, at the moment of diligently blessing it.
Bu Che's Xue Family Qi and Blood Technique has officially completed the required number of years to reach the minor completion stage!
boom--
The sword's aura rises and falls, like flowing light!
