142: 142.
Indeed, it is the Vermilion Bird 142: 142.
Indeed, it is the Vermilion Bird At that moment, the two were embracing in a strange posture.
Soon, the sweetness in their mouths turned scorching hot, spreading from their abdomens to their limbs, making even their fingertips feel hot.
After a long while, they parted.
Xiao Cha turned her back to tidy her clothes and said without turning her head, “We need to push through in one go, don’t forget.”
Before her words ended, the girl had run out the door.
Lu Li smacked his lips, savoring the taste, thinking to himself, “That was unexpectedly significant…”
The “Heart Blood” Xiao Cha had fed him was not only a high-energy nutritional substance but also a surge of “Heart Energy.”
A breakthrough in Martial Arts was not only about the body, but the mental state was also crucial.
At this moment, Lu Li was certainly feeling a surge of emotions, and he started practicing the “White Dragon Whip Skill” in the room.
His movements were extraordinarily swift, and the thudding sounds of his muscles and bones echoed continuously.
Judging by this intensity, he might collapse from exhaustion in three minutes.
But that was precisely the effect he wanted!
Intense movement drove the organs to operate beyond their load, and at the peak moment, it spurred the inner breath!
~~~~~~~~~
Outside the house, naturally, the two girls heard the noises.
Wanqing checked Xiao Cha’s pulse and said with pity, “You…
oh…”
Looking at her pale-faced friend, she repeated herself several times without really saying anything, only bringing over some donkey-hide gelatin and Spiritual Tea.
Xiao Cha ate a piece and smiled, “I’m fine, the physique of a Marrow Cleansing Martial Artist is unimaginably robust.”
Wanqing half-smiled and said, “So, when do you plan to consummate the marriage?”
“Consummate the marriage!?” Xiao Cha quickly lowered her eyes in embarrassment, “Why bring that up all of a sudden…”
Smiling amiably, Wanqing said, “You’ve already fed him, so stop dawdling and just go for it.”
“No rush, we should at least be acquainted for a year,” Xiao Cha waved her hands repeatedly, avoiding a direct answer.
Amiably persuading her, Wanqing said, “You have abundant Yin Element, and it’s easy to get pregnant now.
It might not be so easy once your realm increases.”
Xiao Cha touched her ample rear end and pouted, “Having abundant Yin Element isn’t good, it makes one look lustful, and men only think about one thing.”
“Also…”
Xiao Cha said melancholically, “I might not have time to have children next, Lu Li is aiming to achieve great things…”
Before her words ended, a loud, prolonged cry suddenly came from the house, making the doors and windows clatter!
A flock of birds took flight in alarm, and the two girls quickly stood up.
A few seconds later, Lu Li stepped out of the house, formally declaring, “I have not failed the mission!”
The two girls’ faces lit up with joy and simultaneously performed a Wanfu Ceremony, saying, “Congratulations!”
~~~~~~~~~~~
Before this, Lu Li had never imagined that a person could become so strong.
His organs, particularly his heart, were like an engine providing a continuous flow of energy, and his body was filled with explosive power.
He bent his knees and jumped, leaping nearly two meters high on one leg alone!
“Indeed, strong as a tiger, impressive!” Lu Li exclaimed in amazement, and Xiao Cha said:
“Now, you must use inner breath to nurture your organs.
Once the organs grow stronger and produce more inner breath, and it seeps into your bones, that is Marrow Cleansing.”
Curious upon hearing this, Lu Li swelled his inner breath and suddenly felt as if there were little mice scurrying inside his body.
Xiao Cha quickly said, “Don’t play, don’t play, you still need to save it for cultivation.
The inner breath runs through the meridians, as Wanqing has taught you.”
“Yes, I understand,” Lu Li exhaled deeply and said:
“The easy part is done; next…is the ‘Fetal Breath.'”
Both girls knew that ‘Fetal Breath’ required one to experience brain shock, which filled them with apprehension.
Yet they didn’t dare to speak recklessly, fearing they might shake his confidence.
Lu Li took the initiative and said, “No need to worry, I will make full preparations before attempting the breakthrough.”
Wanqing sighed with relief, and Xiao Cha said brightly, with shining eyes,
“Yes!
Just like scooping dumplings from a pot—you have to grasp it firmly!”
~~~~~~~~~~~~
In the following days, Lu Li solidified his Martial Arts Realm while carefully studying the books he had recovered, trying to enrich himself as much as possible.
However, the more he read, the more curious he became about “Fetal Breath.”
According to the descriptions in the books, this realm not only allowed one to sense the external world with Spirit but also to store the Spirit within objects, creating items like Flying Swords and Vestment robes.
The Spirit would give these objects a certain “Spiritual” nature, simply put, a rudimentary intelligence.
Meanwhile, the Spirit became increasingly agile and could be combined into more complex spells.
After finishing books like “Void Realm Six-colored Sky” and “Feijian Refining Notes,” Lu Li was itching to make a breakthrough and couldn’t wait any longer.
However, he had a feeling that he was still a few steps short; that was his “inner breath” was not strong enough yet.
This “inner breath,” a type of Life Energy, was incredibly magical, serving not just as a nutrient but also strengthening human cells.
For example, focusing it in one’s hands could make one’s fists as hard as if they were cast in bronze!
Thus, as Lu Li continued to stabilize, adapt, and enrich himself, the day of “evolution” drew ever nearer.
Yet, there was a twist—it was Wanqing who made the breakthrough first!
And it happened on the eve of the New Year!
Moving from Muscle Training to Bone Forging was not considered difficult; a person with slight talent could achieve it within a year and a half.
Especially with the aid of Medicinal Diet, Spiritual Tea, and inner breath.
On New Year’s Eve morning, wearing only a thin layer of clothing, Wanqing practiced the “White Dragon Whip Skill” in the cold wind.
Her body was originally somewhat tender, but now it appeared more taut, and her large grapefruits were more firm and bouncy.
Of course, that was not the main point; the key was that when Wanqing threw a punch, her muscles and bones vibrated, producing a loud “bang!”
The sound continued to echo, and both Lu Li and Xiao Cha gathered around.
After watching for a while, Xiao Cha vigorously applauded and shouted, “Finally, Bone Forging!
All that nourishing paid off~”
Wanqing, not really paying her any attention, turned with flushed cheeks and inquired of Lu Li, “Young Master, can I break through now?”
Lu Li confidently responded, “You can now; your physical condition meets the criteria, and you can enter the state of ‘Forgetfulness’ at will, no problem.”
With him as a forerunner guiding the way, Wanqing’s breakthrough was no longer blindly groping in the dark.
This is the importance of “Wealth, Comrades, Dharma, and Place.”
Without any more hesitation, Wanqing exclaimed, “I am going to make a breakthrough!
To toss a brick to attract jade, to wish for Young Master’s good fortunes!”
The girl then ran into the house, but Lu Li and Xiao Cha jointly called out,
“Wait a minute!
Break through right here in the courtyard~”
The last time Wanqing almost set the house on fire; it was safer in the courtyard.
Lu Li also spread out his Spirit, ready to assist at any moment.
Wanqing nodded to them both and closed her eyes in the courtyard.
Having listened to the Sitar Wave Fanle music for many days, she easily entered the “Forgetfulness” state like Lu Li, connecting to her subconscious…
But she discovered that she was eye-to-eye with a pair of cold eyes!
At that moment, a strong wind inexplicably blew outside.
Then, Wanqing collapsed softly to the ground, with countless Spirit Powers emerging from between her eyebrows.
This formless and immaterial force, when encountering air, burned fiercely like gasoline, forming a giant bird of flame!
Standing around two meters tall with a wingspan of about five meters, it emanated intense feelings of fury, seemingly wanting to burn everything in the world!
Rolling heat waves rushed forward, but fortunately, Lu Li was prepared, and his Spirit formed a hemispherical shield covering the courtyard!
This was a spell from “Void Realm Six-colored Sky,” although he had not yet made a breakthrough, so he couldn’t create a full Hive Shield, but it was enough to block the anomaly.
“Vermilion Bird…”
What this fiery bird was seemed apparent; luckily, it lasted only a few seconds before retracting back into Wanqing’s brow.
Xiao Cha quickly helped her up, and Wanqing soon came to, weakly saying,
“I, I guess I really am a Vermilion Bird…”
