Another new day arrived.

When Lin Qingshan arrived at the Martial Hall and saw Xu Wuzhou unharmed, then noticed the empty Armory, his heart tightened suddenly.

"Disappointed, aren't you?" Xu Wuzhou walked up to Lin Qingshan and said, "By the way, you forgot to restock the Armory yesterday. Don't forget today."

Lin Qingshan's expression changed dramatically. He looked down at Xu Wuzhou, not daring to say a word.

Seeing his reaction, Xu Wuzhou was certain that Lin Qingshan had done something behind the scenes yesterday. Otherwise, how could the Martial Hall have been empty, with no one responding to such a commotion?

"Don't forget to restock," Xu Wuzhou said to Lin Qingshan.

"Ah! Okay!"

Lin Qingshan was extremely anxious. Over the years, he had done many things that betrayed the interests of the Qin Family.

Yesterday, Shi Lei and Shi Sen found him and asked him to help locate Xu Wuzhou. Without thinking, he sold Xu Wuzhou out, as he had long been displeased with him. He even cleared out the Martial Hall to make it easier for Shi Lei and Shi Sen to deal with Xu Wuzhou, hoping they could cripple him.

But now, Xu Wuzhou was safe and sound here, and there was no news of Shi Lei and Shi Sen. Could it be that something happened to them?

Xu Wuzhou certainly didn't have the strength to deal with them, so who helped take care of Shi Lei and Shi Sen? A strong member of the Qin Family!

This meant that Qin Li might have found out about what he did.

Cold sweat dripped from Lin Qingshan's forehead as he looked at the Armory. No wonder it mysteriously disappeared; it must have been Qin Li's warning to him.

Yes! That must be it. After all, he was Qin Yunjie's cousin, so they only moved the Armory to warn him.

Seeing Lin Qingshan instruct others to buy weapons, Xu Wuzhou smiled. This was his pig to raise, slaughtering it one slice at a time.

...

Dai Yaoyao came to the Martial Hall to give a lecture on the Postnatal Realm of Meridian Clearing. She spoke passionately, and Xu Wuzhou verified the medical techniques, gaining a general understanding of many things.

Despite many people still mocking him behind his back that day, Lin Qingshan didn't actively cause trouble for him, and no one else did either.

Xu Wuzhou enjoyed the rare peace, listening to Dai Yaoyao's lecture while integrating drops of blood-colored liquid into his body.

Previously, when a drop of blood-colored liquid entered his body, he could feel his blood qi rising rapidly.

But this time, as a drop entered, he felt nothing, as if a drop of water had fallen into the sea.

Xu Wuzhou wasn't in a hurry and added another drop. After receiving two hundred and ninety-nine taels of silver from Dai Yaoyao yesterday, he found two hundred and ninety-nine drops of liquid in the black bowl.

This made Xu Wuzhou feel a deep pain. The actual value of those weapons in the Armory was about three hundred taels, but they only produced fifty drops of liquid.

In other words, they were only worth fifty taels.

If sold as scrap metal, they would be worth about fifty taels, but the value of weapons couldn't be treated as scrap metal.

However, clearly, the black bowl didn't care about craftsmanship; it only recognized metal, meaning those weapons were only worth scrap metal in its eyes.

Drop by drop, the liquid fused with the Sword Intent and entered Xu Wuzhou's body. After the tenth drop, Xu Wuzhou finally felt a slight increase in his blood qi.

Ten drops! In the past, that would have been enough to advance a whole realm, but this time it was only a slight increase.

However, Xu Wuzhou didn't stop and continued to integrate the blood-colored liquid into his body.

At the same time, Xu Wuzhou noticed his Sword Intent spreading throughout his body, penetrating every part of his limbs and bones, giving him a tingling sensation.

"Sword Intent Body Refinement!" Xu Wuzhou knew what was happening; his body couldn't withstand the blood qi, and the Sword Intent was enhancing his body's strength.

Dai Yaoyao glanced at Xu Wuzhou while lecturing, a hint of confusion in her eyes.

She felt that Xu Wuzhou seemed like a sword sitting there, but upon closer inspection, he appeared ordinary.

"An illusion?" Dai Yaoyao didn't understand. After observing for a while, she confirmed he was indeed ordinary.

"Why did I have such an illusion? Could it be that he has a tendency towards enlightenment?" Dai Yaoyao wondered, paying extra attention to Xu Wuzhou. However, Xu Wuzhou's Sword Intent originated from his soul and wasn't revealed, so she couldn't see it.

The Sword Intent refined his body, and the blood-colored liquid transformed into blood qi, continuously integrating into his body.

As more drops entered, Xu Wuzhou felt his blood qi finally beginning to rise slowly. This increase was very gradual, but Xu Wuzhou was overjoyed, as every bit of improvement represented a breakthrough of his limits.

From morning till night, Xu Wuzhou continued to integrate the blood-colored liquid.

"Boom!"

After consuming two hundred drops of blood-colored liquid, Xu Wuzhou's body trembled, as if he had broken free from shackles, feeling liberated.

The Power of Ten Bulls!

Xu Wuzhou clearly felt the strength of his blood qi. At this moment, his body seemed to harbor a primordial beast, powerful and full of terrifying strength.

With abundant blood qi, evil forces couldn't invade. Xu Wuzhou felt that if ordinary evil entities entered his body, they would be instantly shattered.

"It took a whole day just to increase the Power of One Bull." Xu Wuzhou muttered after familiarizing himself with the changes in his body.

No one could hear Xu Wuzhou's muttering, or else they would surely want to beat him to death. Many people spend years trying to break through the limits to increase the Power of One Bull without success, yet he did it in a day and still found it too long, like a beast.

"However, achieving the Power of Ten Bulls is indeed not something ordinary people can do."

Xu Wuzhou was also shocked that reaching Ten Bulls required two hundred drops of liquid, more than twice the amount needed to cultivate to the ninth level. No wonder Dai Yaoyao said Ten Bulls was hard to achieve. Accumulating such profound blood qi, who could withstand it?

Only Xu Wuzhou, with the help of the black bowl, could achieve it so effortlessly.

Feeling the abundant blood qi within, Xu Wuzhou stopped cultivating.

The next step was to use the blood qi to impact the Eight Extraordinary Meridians, clearing one meridian to gather qi and blood into a river, reaching the Postnatal Realm.

If the Vital Energy and Blood Realm was a process of accumulation, then the Postnatal Realm was a process of eruption. In the Postnatal Realm, qi and blood gather into a river, flowing like a torrent. The Postnatal Realm represents a qualitative change.

"When others impact the Eight Extraordinary Meridians, they have to stop once their blood qi is exhausted. But with the blood-colored liquid, as long as there's enough metal, my blood qi won't deplete, allowing me to clear one meridian in one go and step into the Postnatal Realm."

"But... there are only a little over a hundred drops of blood-colored liquid left in the black bowl. Will it be enough to support breaking through one meridian?"

Thinking about this, Xu Wuzhou suddenly asked Qin Yunjie, "What cultivation level is generally needed to achieve a ranking in the Grand Competition?"

"Postnatal Realm First Level has a chance to achieve a ranking," Qin Yunjie replied disdainfully, looking at Xu Wuzhou. "So if you really want to participate, you won't be able to achieve a ranking."

"Oh! That's not too difficult!" Xu Wuzhou muttered. Dai Yaoyao said his strength was stronger than the Postnatal Realm First Level. Although combat couldn't be measured by strength alone, it meant he had the power to fight against the Postnatal Realm First Level. However, to be safe, it would be best to reach the Postnatal Realm First Level.

"Not difficult?" Qin Yunjie heard Xu Wuzhou's muttering and sneered. This person was always arrogant, so it wasn't worth mocking him.
