Douluo: Not enough blood? Use your brain

It has to be said that Zhenhua is also good at persuading people.

However, he wasn't really opposed to Xu Yuan's idea.

He was also making useful suggestions.

"You should first perfect the soul spirit contract method. Your father should already have a semi-finished product. If you can complete it and achieve a contract between your Qi and blood and your soul spirit, then you can slowly try to integrate the spear force and spear intent into the Five Elements Spear Spirit, and then integrate it into your Qi and blood to nourish your Qi and blood cultivation."

"The subsequent steps should also be carried out little by little. First, separate the two major martial souls. The Five Elements Spear Spirit should still be contracted with multiple parties at the same time, but try to give the next soul ring of the Five Elements Spear Spirit only to Qi and blood, or simply don't try it, but instead attach the second soul spirit only to the Tianyuan Brush."

"When you find a soul spirit that is more suitable than the Five Elements Spear Spirit and matches your Tianyuan Brush's first soul skill, the Five Elements Control, then complete the final handover, replace the Five Elements Spear Spirit's position with the new soul spirit, and completely separate the Five Elements Spear Spirit from the Tianyuan Brush martial soul, while also completing the last step of the Qi and blood martial soul."

Although Zhenhua is a blacksmith, his thinking is very clear, and he speaks logically.

Seeing Xu Yuan thinking seriously, and knowing that his suggestion had worked, he simply pointed out the key.

"Actually, I can roughly guess where your eagerness comes from. You want to improve your physical fitness because your spiritual power talent is limited by your physical fitness. In fact, in my steps, as long as the Qi and blood contract is completed, it should be able to help you solve this problem."

"Xiao Yuan, your talent is already top-notch on the continent. It's not that you can't take risks, but you also need to be steady. Being reckless won't work."

Zhenhua took out a network drive, placed it in Xu Yuan's hand, patted Xu Yuan on the shoulder, and sat back in his seat, watching Xu Yuan think.

After staying in Tiandou City for two days, Xu Yuan showed his recent forging results and received Zhenhua's guidance. Two days later, he once again boarded the soul-guided train and returned to Shrek.

"Uncle-Master is right, I need to develop. Just like how Huo Yuhao only started sorting out his soul core and distinguishing between the Qi and blood soul core, soul power soul core, and mental soul core when he was breaking through his limits, I can't be impatient either."

Xu Yuan introspected himself.

It seemed like he had become a little inflated.

"Perhaps it's because my mental power has been restricted by my body and blocked for too long, which has led to a change in my mentality."

After reflecting, Xu Yuan calmed himself down.

Cultivation emphasizes a balance between tension and relaxation, and steady progress.

Xu Yuan made adjustments to his cultivation.

He continued to accept tasks from the association as usual, and daily training could not be neglected. Under these circumstances, he would then take the time to study this so-called Qi and blood contract.

Time passed, and in the blink of an eye, two months had passed.

During Xu Yuan's cultivation, the soul-guided communication device vibrated.

"Teacher?"

"Yes, I'm in Shrek City now. I've sent you the address. Come find me."

"Okay."

Xu Yuan hung up the communication, packed up, and left the academy.

Finding his teacher's hotel, Xu Yuan arrived at room 404 on the second floor and knocked on the door.

"Come in."

Xu Yuan went in, and Mu Ye quickly closed the door, sealing the room with soul power.

Inside the room, Xu Yuan saw a huge wooden barrel, with fiery red liquid churning inside, and a rich energy gushing out.

Chapter 45: Condensing Qi and Blood

"This is..."

Xu Yuan looked at the churning liquid in the wooden barrel, shocked by the majestic energy contained within.

"This is a medicinal bath from the Body Sect, specially used to help disciples like you who haven't fully developed yet to condense the power of Qi and blood."

Mu Ye explained, then instructed Xu Yuan: "Remember, when absorbing the power of the medicinal liquid later, don't refine it with soul power. Only use soul power to transport it, and circulate it according to the acupoints I've pointed out to you, compressing the medicinal power into the acupoints."

As he spoke, Mu Ye continuously pointed out acupoints on Xu Yuan's body, each one accurate and without error.

Xu Yuan memorized these acupoints and nodded.

"Zhenhua told me about your idea of creating a Qi and blood martial soul, and I also agree with his steps. Don't be impatient."

"You're still young. Although I've controlled the dosage of this medicinal bath, there should still be some remaining. After the Qi and blood are condensed, if you feel like you can't absorb any more medicinal power, then don't absorb any more. Don't think about using the excess medicinal power to complete the Qi and blood contract in one fell swoop."

Mu Ye instructed.

Xu Yuan scratched his head and chuckled.

He felt that what his teacher said was similar to some plots in novels.

"Don't worry, teacher, I'm still very steady, and I haven't even prepared for the contract yet. Besides, Uncle-Master also told me before that I must try it at his place."

Mu Ye didn't believe Xu Yuan's nonsense about being steady and rolled his eyes.

"Just remember it. Don't be impulsive later. Go to your Uncle-Master's place to try it. Even if there's something wrong with your contract, he can correct it for you later. It's like an insurance policy, and at his place, as long as you don't be reckless, you can basically guarantee your safety."

Mu Ye also gave more reasons to further make Xu Yuan understand why he had to go to Zhenhua's place to be supervised.

"Your Uncle-Master is a Divine Craftsman who deals with metal spirituality all year round. It's no exaggeration to say that his understanding of 'spirit' is the most profound on the continent, and soul spirits are also a type of 'spirit'."

The spirit forging of a blacksmith awakens the spirituality and gives metal life. Soul forging is the fusion with metal, giving the metal a soul inheritance, which is the development of the wisdom of rare metals. The subsequent sky forging is the evolution of its life level.

Starting from spirit forging, rare metals already have similar characteristics to soul spirits, of course, corresponding to the level of hundreds or thousands of years. When it comes to soul forging, it corresponds to ten-thousand-year soul spirits, and sky forging means raising the soul spirit to the level of one hundred thousand years or even higher.

Zhenhua, who has been forging for many years, has a very important say in this regard, which is why both Zhenhua himself and Xu Shengqun, and even Mu Ye, wanted Xu Yuan to go to Zhenhua's place to try.

"Teacher, then can't we just go directly to Uncle-Master's place to condense the power of Qi and blood?"

Xu Yuan suggested.

Go directly there, and then use the remaining medicinal power to go all the way to the end and carry out the Qi and blood contract.

Mu Ye slapped Xu Yuan on the head.

"What are you thinking? Is your contract just going to be perfected based on theory? Wait until you condense the power of Qi and blood, and then adjust the contract yourself based on the power of Qi and blood."

Xu Yuan grimaced.

He felt that what his teacher said made sense.

Honestly jumping into the wooden barrel, Xu Yuan felt the scorching hot medicinal liquid frantically drilling into his body.

His whole body's skin was burning hot, but there was also a comfortable feeling.

The medicinal power penetrated into the body through the skin.

"If you don't want to become the muscular man you hate in the future, don't let the medicinal power temper your flesh and blood layers for too long."

Mu Ye's faint voice reached Xu Yuan's mind.

Xu Yuan shuddered.

Having muscles is fine, but a huge [censored] is something he doesn't want.

He quickly circulated his soul power, moving the medicinal power, guiding it through the meridians to specific acupoints in sequence.

His blood was boiling.

As this medicinal power integrated into his body, Xu Yuan felt as if his blood was being burned, and his heart pounded more powerfully with each beat.

The many acupoints that Mu Ye had indicated were distributed around his chest, centered on the heart. As the medicinal power took effect, Xu Yuan's heart was constantly tempered, and the blood passing through it also began to boil.

The speed of blood circulation also increased.

The blood surged within his body, like a great river rushing through the blood vessels.

This was much more satisfying than the weak flow of soul power in his meridians.

Bang, bang, bang!

Xu Yuan felt the energy within his blood reach its peak.

"Circulate your soul power and restrain this energy within your blood," Mu Ye's voice came just in time.

Along with it, Mu Ye continuously pointed his finger, using his powerful soul power to help Xu Yuan compress the energy in his blood.

Boom!

In an instant, Xu Yuan felt as if all the energy in his body had completed a unification.

At this moment, his entire body felt transparent.

The power of Qi and blood condensed.

The feeling of transparency was only momentary, but it gave Xu Yuan a shock, causing a wave of numbness from his spine to the top of his head.

Is this the cultivation of Qi and blood?

While still in shock, Xu Yuan felt a great force coming from the back of his neck, restricting him, and then suddenly lifting him up.

"I told you not to absorb too much, what are you doing spacing out?" Mu Ye said in annoyance.

Although he said so, he didn't blame him. Clearly, Mu Ye himself knew the shocking feeling of condensing Qi and blood at that moment.

It was an indescribable stimulation from the instinct of life.

Xu Yuan was thrown onto the bed.

He had no other thoughts and immediately sat down cross-legged.

Because at the same time as the Qi and blood condensed, he also felt the opportunity for a breakthrough in his soul power.

It had only been four months since he broke through to level eighteen, and after only a month, he broke through to level nineteen under the impetus of the soul spirit advancing to a thousand years. Over the past three months, he had already cultivated to the peak of level nineteen.

Soul power is accumulated bit by bit. Similarly, one level of soul power is also divided into early, middle, and late stages. Of course, only the concept of peak is meaningful, meaning that the current level has reached its peak and is impacting the next level.

At this time, under the stimulation of the condensed Qi and blood power, the small level twenty bottleneck was also broken.

With his soul power breaking through to level twenty, Xu Yuan restrained the Five Elements Spear Spirit and did not add a second soul ring to his martial soul.

With the Qi and blood power condensed, Xu Yuan's physical fitness also had a qualitative improvement under the tempering of the medicinal power. In addition, with the breakthrough of soul power, his mental power also had a small explosion.

Although he hadn't tested it, Xu Yuan felt that it must have broken through three hundred.

Besides, his mental power temporarily no longer had that feeling of being bound. It was estimated that in the next period of time, his mental power would improve very quickly.

"I wonder if I can break through to the Spirit Sea Realm," Xu Yuan thought expectantly.

If he could improve to the Spirit Sea Realm in a short period of time, then he could fuse his brain martial soul with a soul spirit, and then his soul power cultivation could continue normally.

Most importantly, the further growth of the brain martial soul after adding a soul ring would greatly increase Xu Yuan's learning ability, and also make Xu Yuan's learning pressure in the four auxiliary occupations easier.

There was no pressure for Xu Yuan to go from level two to level three, but he was clear that when the four auxiliary occupations faced the level four threshold, his pressure would not be small. Before that, cultivating the brain martial soul would eliminate those worries.

Of course, there was one more thing.

Cultivating the brain martial soul for a period of time would also facilitate Xu Yuan's further research, making the creation plan for the Qi and blood martial soul smoother.

Chapter 46 Two and a Half Months, Mental Power Improvement

After condensing his Qi and blood, Xu Yuan returned to the academy.

Under Mu Ye's instructions, he decided to continue to improve the magic circle.

Mu Ye returned to Heaven Dou City to find Zhen Hua, asking him to help mobilize a soul spirit from the Spirit Transfer Pagoda, a soul spirit that was very compatible with Xu Yuan.

As his uncle, Xu Shengqun naturally had this ability, but Xu Shengqun didn't want Xu Yuan's twin martial souls to be exposed so early, so he didn't plan to mobilize it himself. He was only responsible for helping Xu Yuan screen the high-quality soul spirits of the Spirit Transfer Pagoda. As for how to obtain it, he could only go through Zhen Hua for the time being.

Returning to the academy, Xu Yuan tested his mental power.

'347'.

Almost three hundred and fifty points of mental power.

Three months ago, Xu Yuan's mental power was only two hundred and sixty.

In three months of cultivation, Xu Yuan's Heaven Devouring Earth Eating Technique broke through. He was already using the Heaven Devouring Earth Eating Technique to replenish a large amount while ensuring sufficient exercise. What's more, there was also a cultivation session at the Sea God Pavilion, during which Xu Yuan had a small epiphany, and his mental power also had a small improvement.

In addition, there was this time of condensing Qi and blood power, plus the breakthrough of soul power.

Under the continuous drive, in just three months, his mental power value had increased by nearly a hundred points!

This wasn't the most exaggerated thing. For Xu Yuan, this time of condensing Qi and blood was the key to improving his mental power. The feedback to his mental power at the moment of completing the condensation wasn't obvious. The biggest benefit was that after condensing Qi and blood, his physique was strong enough to not restrict the growth of his mental power.

"Next, I will focus on cultivating the brain martial soul and see the limits of the brain martial soul!"

Zhen Hua's efficiency was extremely high.

The face of the only divine craftsman on the continent was also great. On the third day, Mu Ye called to tell Xu Yuan that as long as his mental power value broke through five hundred points and reached the Spirit Sea Realm, he could absorb the first soul spirit for his brain martial soul.

Now that he mastered the power of Qi and blood, Xu Yuan had more cultivation projects.

Verifying the magic circle with the power of Qi and blood, adjusting and improving the contract magic circle, was just an extension of the original work on the development of the contract. Xu Yuan also had to add more practice of the power of Qi and blood and adjust the use of the Heaven Devouring Earth Eating Technique with the power of Qi and blood instead of soul power.

After switching to using the power of Qi and blood, Xu Yuan tried to use the Five Elements Spear Spirit to transform into the power of the five elements to perform the Heaven Devouring Earth Eating Technique, which could be regarded as a pre-run of the power of Qi and blood and the Five Elements Spear Spirit.

Time passed.

In the blink of an eye, two and a half months had passed.

In just two and a half months, Xu Yuan's mental power had risen again by over a hundred points, reaching four hundred and sixty!

This was the result of him changing his meditation target.

This effect also fully demonstrated the talent of his brain martial soul in mental power.
