"I have a green dragon on my left and a white tiger on my right... no, I mean a long sword on my left and an arrow on my right. One strike for a hundred, so awesome!"
On the back mountain, Lu Tao diligently used his longsword and arrows to gain experience points on Jiang Xiong's legs.
In a short time, Jiang Xiong's thighs were covered in bruises.
Lu Tao had already gained enough experience with his longsword and arrows.
[Blade: 310,000,000 (Eighth-tier low-grade; even a ninth-tier low-grade entry-level item can be treated like grass and trees, easily cut through.)]
"Holy crap, it can cut through advanced-level weapons now? That's amazing!"
The introduction of the longsword surprised Lu Tao.
Advanced weapons are no ordinary items. There are several experts in the Blood Refining Realm in Dafeng Town, but according to He Zongming, only the owner of the pill shop has one advanced weapon.
The others didn't have even half a piece.
Even Jiang Xiong, the leader of the Axe Gang who had been a notorious villain for decades, didn't have a high-level weapon, which shows how rare this thing is.
Lu Tao didn't expect that after his longsword was upgraded to the eighth rank, it could easily cut through a low-grade ninth-rank weapon. It was indeed impressive.
"Arrows, upgrade."
[Arrow: 0/1,000,000 (Tier 8, low-grade; can easily pierce Tier 9, high-grade armor; even against Tier 8, low-grade armor, it can cause significant injury.)]
"Indeed, its destructive power is too great, and at this speed, even those at the Blood Refining Realm might not be able to dodge it."
Lu Tao put away his knife and arrows with satisfaction.
After glancing at Jiang Xiong's body, he thought for a moment, dug a hole, and buried him.
When Lu Tao got home, he found the two little ones lying on the ground, looking utterly exhausted, their eyes devoid of light.
Looking at the experience gained from the pills, I found it had exceeded ten thousand, plus a thousand more.
Lu Tao chuckled and said, "Alright, get up and take the pills to improve your aptitude."
Upon hearing Lu Tao's words, the man and the dog immediately stood up, their eyes fixed on Lu Tao like copper bells.
"Here, one for each of you." Lu Tao distributed the upgraded Dust-Clearing Pills to the two little ones.
Wu Ming swallowed the pill as soon as he got it. The pill turned into a clear stream and flowed through his body.
The tingling sensation in his body made Wu Ming unable to stop himself from twisting and turning.
"Don't scratch, bear with it," Lu Tao reminded him promptly.
Wu Ming obediently gritted his teeth, stood motionless in the yard, his face flushed red, and didn't move an inch.
The big black dog on the other side also lay obediently on the ground, quietly waiting for its body to transform.
...
Fortunately, although there was only a 60% chance of success, both the person and the dog's aptitude were successfully improved.
I have to say, they were really lucky.
All three dust-removing pills worked.
"Brother Tao, it's true, I really felt the primordial energy of heaven and earth. They were like stars, floating all around me."
Wu Ming shouted excitedly and reached out to touch the invisible primordial energy of heaven and earth around him.
"Go take a shower quickly, then try your cultivation later."
Okay.
Wu Ming happily took a shower to wash away the filth on his body, and then began to cultivate.
Lu Tao also offered guidance, "Calm your mind and stand properly. Do you remember what the movement is? How do you breathe?"
"Brother Tao, I know, I've remembered it for a long time."
Wu Ming closed his eyes and carefully recalled the movements, breathing, and mooing of the Wild Bull Body Training Technique.
Under Lu Tao's guidance, he began to cultivate.
"Moo..."
A quarter of an hour...
Half an hour...
Half an hour...
Finally, Wu Ming vaguely sensed a bit of the primordial energy of heaven and earth seeping into his body through his arm, and immediately felt a warm sensation in his arm.
Wu Ming suppressed his excitement and continued to cultivate according to his current rhythm of movements and breathing, not wanting to interrupt his cultivation process.
As Wu Ming immersed himself in cultivation, more and more spiritual energy from heaven and earth converged into his body.
Wu Ming felt as if he were taking a bath, which was very refreshing.
However, the pleasant feeling disappeared after only a short while.
Because he absorbed all the surrounding spiritual energy.
"Brother Tao, it's over." Wu Ming couldn't help but feel a little dejected.
"Pah, pah, pah, you need to speak clearly. What do you mean Brother Tao is gone? Brother Tao is alive and well."
Lu Tao rolled his eyes and said, "In our ordinary place, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is thin, so of course it's not enough for your cultivation. You'll use this for your cultivation from now on."
As he spoke, Lu Tao took out a large pile of porcelain bottles.
He had found all of these in the Axe Gang; they were all potions used in the Skin Refining Realm, numbering over a hundred bottles.
Wu Ming hesitated for a moment, "Brother Tao, this must be very valuable, right?"
"not worth……"
Lu Tao initially wanted to say it wasn't worth much, but considering that the little guy might think it was worthless and give it away, which would be a loss, he directly said, "One tael of silver per bottle, but Brother Tao won't need any of these. You can keep them for your cultivation. Remember to hide them well and don't let anyone know."
"Yes, Brother Tao, you're so kind. Thank you, Brother Tao."
Wu Ming nodded heavily.
"Alright, it's getting late, let's go back."
Lu Tao dismissed Wu Ming and then said, "Remember to come and wash my chopsticks tomorrow."
"Okay, Brother Tao, I'll come first thing tomorrow morning."
Wu Ming happily carried a large basin full of porcelain vases home.
After Wu Ming left, Lu Tao looked at the big black dog, which had already washed itself clean, and felt somewhat helpless.
Although the big black dog's aptitude has improved, it unfortunately cannot cultivate.
"I wonder if there are any Beast Taming Sects in this world, or maybe I could buy a cultivation manual for animals."
Lu Tao pondered to himself that the big black dog was unlikely to improve its strength for the time being; he would have to wait until later.
After glancing at the sky, Lu Tao stopped doing anything else and went back to his room to cultivate.
With just four more bottles of blood medicine refined, Lu Tao could raise his cultivation to the mid-stage of Blood Refinement in just over three hours.
Lu Tao decided to improve his cultivation level tonight.
After taking a vial of blood-nourishing medicine, Lu Tao quickly became immersed in cultivation...
One bottle, two bottles, three bottles...
One hour, two hours, three hours...
Time passed, and darkness fell. Soon it was late at night, almost dawn.
Boom...
Sitting cross-legged on the bed, Lu Tao felt his blood tremble violently, and then he realized that his blood seemed to have undergone some kind of transformation.
The blood flows faster and appears to be more concentrated, yet it has no adverse effects on the body.
Lu Tao circulated his Qi and blood and found that the power of his Qi and blood was much stronger, several times stronger than in the early stage of Blood Refinement.
"What a powerful feeling! With this kind of energy, if I were to encounter Jiang Xiong again, I could kill him with a single punch."
Lu Tao clenched his fist, feeling his own power, and was very satisfied.
Afterward, Lu Tao cultivated for a while to stabilize his cultivation. Just as he was about to go to sleep, he suddenly heard the barking of the big black dog.
"Woof woof woof." (Someone's coming.)
Lu Tao frowned. It was already late at night. Why would anyone come to his house?
As Lu Tao stepped out of the room with a lamp on, he saw a group of people running towards his yard with incredible speed, with three wolves at the front.
"The Three Wolves Gang?"
Lu Tao's eyes widened when he saw this group of people.
Although he didn't know anyone from the Three Wolves Gang, he knew of its existence; the three-headed wolf was their symbol.
I heard that the Axe Gang and the Three Wolves Gang have been secretly vying for power recently. I didn't expect that just after he wiped out the Axe Gang, the Three Wolves Gang would come knocking on his door again.
After a moment's thought, Lu Tao understood why this group of people had come looking for him.
For the sake of the sacred herb.
