Li Qinglin naturally had no intention of suffering with his clone, so he immediately controlled the bell toad to swim upstream and crawl back to his nest.

However, as the bell-toad grows in size, the crevices in the rocks where it used to live have become increasingly narrow.

Now he could only get half of his body in, with his butt and hind legs exposed.

It feels chilly.

"The bell toad is getting bigger and bigger. The well can no longer hide it."

A trace of gloom flashed through Li Qinglin's mind, but he immediately regained his composure.

Under the damp well.

In the dripping rock wall.

The bell toad hid obediently in the darkness. Due to the severe pain, its body twitched from time to time, and its short and fat front limbs dug deeply into the rock.

"Quack~"

A suppressed voice was heard, with a hint of grievance.

…

Sizzling hot!

Scorching!

About to burst out!

As soon as his consciousness returned to his body, Li Qinglin immediately felt a swelling that almost burst him! The heart toad pumped like a drumbeat, and a strand of extremely heavy blood, like lead and mercury, suddenly appeared and poured into the blood sac.

"This is... mercury blood?!"

Master Fu Wu’s teaching words are still vivid in my mind.

But isn't mercury blood only produced in martial artists? How come the bell toad can produce mercury blood now? !

However, before Li Qinglin could think about it, this extremely heavy trace of mercury blood was faintly pressing on the blood sac, and a hot current began to run wildly! "Not good!"

Li Qinglin's mind focused, and he immediately got into position and started practicing the Herb Picking and Standing Technique.

Li Qinglin quickly found the feeling of emptiness and strength.

At this moment, he didn't even need to control it, let alone figure out the trick of putting this broken shackles on his head into practice.

The heat flow in his body, along with the mercury blood, gradually and automatically moved toward the top of his head as he practiced the standing meditation posture.

Li Qinglin closed his eyes tightly, his chest heaving, sweat steaming, and his muscles and bones trembling rhythmically.

I guess the founder of the standing meditation exercise never thought of it.

One day, someone will conceive mercury blood while still in the mortal stage.

He worked hard to create the Herb-Gathering and Standing Still Technique, laying the groundwork step by step in the previous and subsequent chapters, just for the final empty and spiritual top strength to increase the probability of becoming a martial artist.

But at this moment, there was an exception.

If one wants to break through to become a martial artist, one must gather one's essence and blood, transform mercury into lead, and break through the shackles.

So how do you get mercury blood?

You must first break through to the level of a martial artist.

"But common sense is meant to be broken!"

Li Qinglin roared in his heart.

"Crack!"

A silent and crisp sound rang in my ears.

The mercury blood easily broke through the shackles above the head, then penetrated downwards and entered the membrane.

Li Qinglin suddenly felt like he was soaking in a hot spring, with a slight tingling sensation from the top of his head to his toes.

After an unknown amount of time, the mercury blood was exhausted, and Li Qinglin suddenly opened his eyes, with a gleam of light in his eyes.

The muscles in the body contain incredible power.

Ear, smell, hearing...all five senses have grown to varying degrees!

Li Qinglin jumped slightly, and he felt as if he was jumping onto the beam of the house.

The first step to lock sperm is to tighten the membrane! Li Qinglin has officially entered the realm of martial artist!

【Other-transformation and freedom】

【Name: Li Qinglin】

【Lifespan: 15/63】

[Realm: Locking the essence, tightening the membrane (skin head, as thin as a cicada's wing)]

[Exercises: Herb-collecting and Standing Posture Exercise (Great Mastery), Eighteen Rolling Stone Tumbles (Beginner’s Guide)]

[His Avatar: Bell Toad (transforming?)]

[Freedom Furnace: Heart Toad (Trait 1: Blood Sac)]

Life expectancy increased by four years, which is no lower than the average life expectancy of the people in Dajiang.

The realm is just the beginning of entering the tight membrane, which is evaluated as thin as a cicada's wing.

As for the bell toad, it seemed to have fallen into a dormant period of transformation. Li Qinglin could vaguely feel that some drastic changes were taking place inside the toad's body.

Clench your fists lightly and feel the power.

Li Qinglin suddenly felt the joy of seeing the sun and the moon through the clouds.

In just over a month, he had broken through from an ordinary person to a martial artist! This speed was simply shocking! Even the bloodline of a large family in the inner city, who had been nurtured with all kinds of natural treasures since childhood, could only do so fast!

Although all this is inseparable from his hard practice, it is also related to the pale knife fish just now.

"What is the origin of that fish?"

"What on earth is the other side of the gap in the well connected to?"

The sun sets.

The night is silent.

There was little smoke rising from the kitchen, and the firewood at the bottom of the chimney had also died down.

The chef and the butcher went off duty, leaving only a few cooks and maids washing the pots and pans.

At this time, outside the kitchen, in the side room where firewood was piled.

Yu Qian and two firewood-chopping tenants were squatting on the ground, with a small kang table in front of them.

On the kang table, there were hard dishes such as lion head, braised beef in soy sauce, and prawns.

Although it was leftover from the host's meal, most people only touched it with a few chopsticks.

Especially the Flying Dragon Soup, which is made from the bones of rare and exotic animals, boiled in pottery jars and then packaged. Although most of it is gone, the soup at the bottom of the jar is extremely thick and steaming as if it had just come out of the pot!

Yu Qian picked up a prawn, which was emerald green in color, with the paper-thin steamed skin showing through.

This work is organized and uploaded by Liujiu Book Bar~~

Take a gentle bite and the skin will break, revealing the minced vegetables made of shrimp, leek and egg inside, which is refreshing and delicious.

“It feels so good…”

Yu Qian sighed with contentment, and the tiredness brought by standing still seemed to dissipate a little.

He was about to pick up his chopsticks again, but he saw that the food on the table had been eaten up in no time!

Yu Qian glared at the other two fiercely, and the two did not dare to say anything and just smiled awkwardly.

"Donkey face, brother, I'm not full~"

Yu Qian turned his head and saw Hong Cuicui and Donkey Face standing in front of the door with gloomy faces and no words.

Especially Donkey Face, he looked a little embarrassed, with blue and white spots on his face. When Donkey Face heard Yu Qian's words, he felt so depressed that he almost vomited blood!

The three people including Yu Qian were like a buffet.

He stayed in the woodshed the whole afternoon, constantly urging me to bring food.

It is true that Hong Cuicui is a cook, but in the past she only took a little bit of this and a little bit of that, eating evenly.

How dare I withhold so much food at one time!

Hong Cuicui had no choice but to speak well of the other cooks and was able to temporarily borrow their shares.

Hearing Yu Qian's words, Hong Cuicui's face turned serious, she put her hands on her waist, and glared angrily.

"You three rascals, don't be ungrateful!"

"If you piss me off, I'll go complain to Steward Wang and you'll be in big trouble!"

Hearing Hong Cuicui's threat, Yu Qian laughed out loud, "Sister Cuicui, in the past you were the only ones who could cheat on us, why don't you let us have a good time now?"

Yu Qian put down his bowl and chopsticks, stood up, twisted his neck and made a crisp sound, revealing a fierce aura, and said with a smile,

"Sister Cuicui, you don't want your lover to be unable to get out of bed tomorrow, right?"

"you!"

Hong Cuicui was furious, her face turned red, and she stared at Yu Qian fiercely but stopped talking.

One hand, however, held tightly onto the donkey's face behind him, to prevent him from acting impulsively and suffering physical pain again.

As a last resort.

Hong Cuicui took another plate of steamed buns from the kitchen and dipped them in some oil.

Yu Qian and the other two did not show any disgust and continued to eat with relish.

Hong Cuicui looked at the appearance of these people and was so angry that tears were about to burst into tears.

She seemed to have thought of something, lowered her voice, and said to Donkey Face, "Didn't I ask you to go find your buddy, Li Qinglin, for help? I heard from others that he seems to be born with brute force, and the martial arts masters in the training ground all look up to him."

"He might have a way to beat Yu Qian and the other two scoundrels away!"

Upon hearing this, Donkey Face began to stammer.

"I, I, I forgot. Brother Lin has been very busy recently..."

Hong Cuicui knew Donkey Face very well. It was obvious that she didn't want to trouble Li Qinglin, and she was immediately furious.

"It has come to this, and you still care about the so-called brotherhood! I..."

Bang! Suddenly.

There was a knock on the door.

The people in the room stopped what they were doing and looked at each other.

Who would come to the woodshed at this hour? Bang, bang...

Outside the door, the knocking sound continued rhythmically.

Yu Qian frowned and signaled the other two to put away the table, then asked Donkey Face to open the door.

Squeak...

The friction sound of the door hinge twisting prolonged.

Behind the door, a tall figure dressed in black cloth appeared, blending into the night.

Li Qinglin looked past Donkey Face's surprised and worried expression, and saw Yu Qian and others in the room.

Enter the room and close the door behind you.

The cold wind blew in through the gradually shrinking gap in the door, lifting the corner of Li Qinglin's clothes.

The dull voice broke through the silence of the house.

"So, you are here..."
