Do you know what mythical life is?

Xie Yunhai is feeling a lot of pressure.

Lu Pingan also felt the pressure after Xie Yunhai left.

He is still too weak.

Although he had Qin Muzhi as a powerful backer, his master, a master of great skill, wouldn't always be by his side.

Just like now.

His master, a highly skilled individual, hasn't returned for several days.

And who knows, his master might ascend to heaven at any time.

"I hope Master will come back soon."

Lu Ping'an made a wish in his heart.

He has quite a bit of talent.

With the giant tortoise constantly feeding him, he'll probably break through to the Qi and Blood Realm in just a few days.

Once he breaks through to the Qi and Blood Realm, he can start cultivating the White Tiger Body Forging Technique.

"According to Master, the Xuanwu Armor-Covering Technique only forms an invisible armor in the body, while the Baihu Body-Forging Technique is the real body-forging technique."

"In addition, the White Tiger Body Tempering Technique can not only strengthen the body's external strength, but also enhance the martial artist's internal organs."

"Once I master the White Tiger Body Tempering Technique, breaking through to the Inner Strength Realm will be a piece of cake."

"At the same time, once I learn the White Tiger Body Forging Technique, it means I can combine the four techniques into one and master the supreme martial art, the Four Symbols Returning to Origin Fist."

Lu Pingan was filled with anticipation.

While superior martial arts are powerful, they cannot compare to top-grade martial arts.

He was confident that once he broke through to the Qi and Blood Realm and mastered the Four Symbols Returning to Origin Fist, he would definitely be able to fight against Inner Strength Realm martial artists who were above his level.

If combined with the Heavenly Pillar Body, it wouldn't be impossible to kill a martial artist at the Inner Strength Realm.

"Continue your training!"

With these thoughts in mind, Lu Ping'an stopped thinking about it and began to focus on his cultivation.

As for Xie Yunhai...

Although he really wanted to deal with this old thing, he had no way to do anything as long as Xie Yunhai didn't go to the big tortoise.

Unless he brings the giant tortoise into Yunxi County.

……

"Brother Lu has broken through to the Marrow Cleansing Realm?"

"I'm so envious!"

"I wonder when I'll be able to break through."

While Lu Ping'an was immersed in cultivation, the news of his breakthrough to the Marrow Cleansing Realm quickly spread throughout Yunxi County.

Upon hearing the news, Zhou Hexin and the others had mixed feelings.

Lu Ping'an was about the same age as them, and he had already broken through to the Marrow Cleansing Realm.

They, however, did not know how long it would take to break through.

"How could that be?"

At the Poyue Martial Arts School, which was on the same street as Lu Ping'an, Liu Shuyuan's expression changed several times after hearing the news that Lu Ping'an had broken through to the Marrow Cleansing Realm.

He wasn't entirely convinced of his defeat after losing to Lu Ping'an last time.

He always believed that it wasn't because he lacked talent.

It's not that the cultivation technique he used was ineffective.

But the cultivation technique doesn't matter; as long as his cultivation level is higher than Lu Ping'an's, that's fine.

Therefore, he has been diligently cultivating these days.

Unexpectedly, in just a few days, Lu Ping'an broke through to the Marrow Cleansing Realm.

……

Lu Ping'an was unaware of the commotion outside.

Three days passed quickly during the cultivation.

"Qi and Blood!"

Lu Ping'an activated the Vermilion Bird Blood Bathing Technique, and his blood and qi surged, causing his palms to swell slightly with blood.

boom!

He threw a punch, the violent force of which made the air roar.

"It's done!"

Lu Pingan withdrew his fist.

He felt the qi and blood in his body settle into his body after he finished his practice, instead of dissipating, and a look of joy appeared in his eyes.

After three days of cultivation, he finally broke through to the Qi and Blood Realm.

Compared to the Marrow Cleansing Realm, breaking through to the Qi and Blood Realm was truly easy for him.

"So, I guess I've surpassed the advisor in this regard?"

Lu Pingan chuckled.

His master had previously said that his grandmaster had taken five days to break through from the Marrow Cleansing Realm to the Blood Qi Realm.

However, this five-day period was calculated from the time his master completed the transformation to the Marrow Cleansing Realm.

Instead of starting to calculate once you break through to the Marrow Cleansing Realm.

If calculated using the same method, he should have broken through to the Marrow Cleansing Realm in just four days.

"It's just that Master isn't quite up to par."

After calming his internal energy, Lu Pingan shook his head.

These past few days, he has been going to the Sixiang Martial Arts School every day.

However, they never saw Qin Muzhi.

I wonder where his master, this expert, went.

He was not worried about Qin Muzhi's safety.

A master like Qin Muzhi, who can suppress himself from ascending to immortality, is someone that few in the entire world could rival.

However, he was worried that his master, a master of great skill, might accidentally ascend to the Great World.

Then he became numb.

After all, he was still missing a portion of the Four Symbols Returning to Origin Fist, a top-tier martial art.

"Let's take another look at the Bloodstone of Ten Thousand Beasts."

Thinking of this, Lu Pingan sighed.

He then changed his perspective and went to the giant tortoise.

Using the giant tortoise's senses, it sensed the scene at the Bloodstone of Ten Thousand Beasts.

at this time.

Deep in the mountains, under the cover of night, a giant black bear, five or six meters tall, had just fought and killed a strange beast, a black tiger.

After killing the black tiger, it immediately gutted it, took out the Blood Stone of Ten Thousand Beasts, and swallowed it whole.

"roar!"

After swallowing the Bloodstone of Ten Thousand Beasts, the black bear roared to the sky and pounded its chest.

"How am I supposed to retrieve this?"

Lu Pingan sighed again.

A black bear that's five or six meters tall—let alone him, even a giant tortoise would probably be no match for it.

Therefore, he has basically given up on the Bloodstone of Ten Thousand Beasts.

I only glance at it out of curiosity when I'm tired of cultivating.

"Hmm? Master?"

Just then, Lu Ping'an's heart skipped a beat.

Suddenly, in the scene surrounding the Bloodstone of Ten Thousand Beasts, he saw a figure in a green robe, with a refined demeanor and a sword hanging at his waist.

This figure was none other than Qin Muzhi, who had disappeared for several days.

"This treasure should be ready."

Qin Muzhi gently fell from the tree.

Looking at the black bear in front of him, he reached out and pointed in the air, and a burst of energy shot out, hitting the giant bear right between the eyebrows.

The next second, the black bear, which had just been exuding a terrifying aura, collapsed to the ground with a thud.

Qin Muzhi approached the black bear, glanced at it, then grabbed the five- or six-meter-tall bear carcass, lifted it above his head, and walked straight down the mountain.

"This is……"

Lu Pingan was dumbfounded.

The Four Symbols Returning to Origin Fist is indeed a top-tier martial art, but no matter how top-tier it is, it is still only a physical cultivation technique.

It is absolutely impossible for Qin Muzhi to possess such immense strength.

Lu Ping'an did not withdraw his senses, but instead secretly watched his master.

He wanted to see what his master, a master of martial arts, was planning to do.

Besides, he also breathed a sigh of relief when the Bloodstone of Ten Thousand Beasts fell into his master's hands.

Because in that case, he might be able to get his hands on the stone.

"This is... Sheung Shui Town?"

As he watched, Lu Ping'an suddenly realized that his master had actually come out of the Longyun Mountains and arrived at Shangshui Town.

"I don't know how this kid tamed this tortoise beast."

Upon arriving at Shangshui Town, Qin Muzhi sensed the surroundings and went to the section of the river where the giant tortoise was located. With a loud "boom," he threw the giant bear's carcass into the water.

Without lingering, he leaped forward and used his lightness skill to quickly return to Yunxi County.
