Chapter 124: Perfecting the Skin, Cultivating Qi

In the dark woods.

Four bodies were scattered in all directions, like dolls that were thrown away at random.

Their faces were distorted, and their faces were frozen with the terrified expressions before death.

The blood showed a strange dark red in the sun, and it formed a stream on the ground, winding and flowing.

The air was filled with the stench of rusty blood and rotten leaves.

Occasionally, a breeze blew, but it couldn't blow away the strong smell of blood.

The three people who were still alive, Lian Bing, each of them locked their eyes on Shen Qing, their eyes full of surprise and suspicion.

They seemed to have seen some indescribable monster.

Lian Bing opened his mouth and wanted to ask something, but in this dead forest, he found that he had countless words to say.

He lowered his head and glanced at Shen Qing, letting the shock spread in his heart.

After a while, Shen Qing bent down under the gaze of several people, and slowly fiddled with the corpse, taking out the silver and Qi and Blood Pills in their hands one by one, and put them into his pocket without blushing or beating his heart.

Lian Bing and others did not stop him, thinking that all this was natural.

After making sure that nothing was left out, Shen Qing poured out a red Qi and Blood Pill and placed it in the palm of his hand.

He walked up to Lian Bing and asked, "Constable Lian, is this Qi and Blood Pill useful?"

Lian Bing reacted, clasped his fists and bowed his head respectfully, saying truthfully, "This is a common pill in the salary issued by our yamen. The essence contained in a Qi and Blood Pill is more than a bowl of Ten-Ingredient Tonic Soup. We usually take one before practicing to speed up the practice. We also take one after being tired from fighting outside to cheer up."

"I see. I just experienced a battle and consumed a lot. It's just right to use it to replenish it."

Shen Qing looked at the Qi and Blood Pill with interest, then threw it into his mouth and chewed it.

The taste is a bit like the taste of calcium tablets, with a hint of sweetness.

Gululu!

Shen Qing swallowed it in one gulp and felt it quietly for a while.

At first there was no strange phenomenon, but after a moment, he suddenly became alert.

Here it comes!

Shen Qing felt a faint herbal aroma in his mouth. The essence contained in his bone marrow merged with the essence in the pill, and continued to overflow from the inside out.

At this time, the huge essence, along with the blood, ran wildly like a wild horse, shuttled through his meridians, and constantly washed his flesh and skin.

Shen Qing noticed that the membrane on his arm became more crystal clear because of the refining of the Dragon Roar Iron Cloth Shirt, and the overflowing essence was constantly locked inside.

His skin was turning red at a speed visible to the naked eye, and from a distance it looked like a boiled shrimp.

Shen Qing knew that this was the effect of the Qi and Blood Pill.

He was delighted, and in his heart guided the essence of the medicine to circulate in the meridians, constantly washing his body.

The effect of a Qi and Blood Pill lasted for half an incense stick and then completely disappeared.

It was not easy to feel something, but it was stopped. Shen Qing frowned slightly, feeling a little unhappy.

Without hesitation, he took out a Qi and Blood Pill and swallowed it.

Shen Qing noticed that his skin began to tighten and harden, as if it was about to touch a layer of diaphragm, and it kept changing.

He understood that this was the result of his cultivation being continuously improved under the effect of Qi and Blood Pill.

Taking Qi and Blood Pill for the first time was very helpful to him.

After Shen Qing ate two in a row, he still felt a sense of hunger in his flesh and blood, and he was far from reaching his limit.

"In that case..."

Shen Qing swallowed all the remaining seven Qi and Blood Pills in one breath.

Lian Bing, who was standing by, couldn't help but be dumbfounded when he saw this scene.

He had never seen such a fierce way of eating.

Because he ate too much in one breath, a large amount of essence escaped from his mouth.

Shen Qing hurriedly covered his mouth and nose and continued to refine.

Time passed little by little, at a certain moment.

Shen Qing suddenly heard a muffled sound in his ear, as if at a certain moment, it suddenly broke through the barrier of the diaphragm.

Something in the flesh and skin broke and shattered.

Then, the muscles attached to the bones of Shen Qing's body began to wriggle and slowly expand.

The blush on the skin of the whole body faded like a tide and melted into the skin, and all abnormalities stopped abruptly.

Shen Qing raised his hand and touched it, feeling waves of cold and hard touch.

"I am... skin forging successful? Promoted to the Qi Cultivation Realm?"

Shen Qing's eyes flashed with surprise.

He clenched his fists and stretched his muscles and bones, and found that his every move was full of powerful strength.

The skin of the whole body was as thick as cowhide and as hard as iron.

"As I expected, the skin forging realm is indeed the realm that I can break through most easily." Shen Qing muttered to himself: "With such strength and the membrane of the Dragon Roar Iron Cloth Shirt, my defense is estimated to be a terrifying level."

He put away his fists, stood with his hands behind his back, looked around, and his face was full of strong confidence.

Lian Bing, Xiao Zhi and others were unaware of Shen Qing's inner changes at this time. They only felt that his aura had quietly changed, and seemed to be more...powerful...

Just then, there was an explosion in the distant forest.

Shen Qing and others looked in the direction of the sound.

Lian Bing stood up and blurted out: "Someone has found the tiger monster's trace."

A trace of panic flashed across his face.

He didn't know the horror of the tiger demon before, but now that he has seen how difficult it is to deal with the ghost, he is like a frightened bird when he hears about the tiger demon.

Shen Qing glanced at Lian Bing and said nothing.

He turned his head and looked at the old tree next to him that could be hugged by one person, and kicked his legs directly, rushing along the trunk to the color of the treetop.

He looked in the direction of the fireworks in the distance, and his eyes were stern: "Eagle Eye!"

Buzz!

Pictures of the mountains and forests kept appearing in Shen Qing's mind, and these pictures began to combine to form a bird's-eye view.

He clearly saw that birds kept flying in fright somewhere in the mountains.

A large tiger like a calf was running in the forest, constantly rushing towards him.

Shen Qing licked his lips and shouted to Xiao Zhi: "Give me the bow and arrow!"

Xiao Zhi, who walked under the tree, heard the sound and hurriedly threw the heavy bow with arrows up.

Shen Qing caught it easily.

He hooked a branch with one foot and stood on the tree.

In the vast green mountains, under the blazing sun, Shen Qing slowly raised the heavy bow in his hand.

His ape arms stretched out, and his muscles like tree knots swelled, with smooth lines and full of explosive power.

Shen Qing took a deep breath, put a heavy arrow on the bowstring, and pulled the bowstring.

When the bowstring was pulled to the full moon, there was a brief silence in the woods.

Shen Qing suddenly loosened his fingers, and the bowstring was released suddenly like thunder.

The arrow made of black iron cut through the sky, with the whistling wind and fierce momentum, and shot towards somewhere in the distant mountains and forests in a perfect arc.

The colorful tiger was rushing on the road, and suddenly felt a chilling murderous intent, and was shocked, and the tiger hair all over his body exploded.

Before it understood what was going on, it saw a black light falling from the sky and falling towards it head-on.

Boom!

The moment the black light fell on it, it seemed that the whole mountain forest was shaken.

I have been staying up late these days to update. I work during the day. I have a fever today and I can’t bear it anymore. I want to rest early. The chapter that was originally scheduled to be posted in the early morning will be posted tomorrow. Let me tell you about it.
