Cultivating for Immorality: I Evolved Martial Arts into the Immortal Path – Chapter 6

Chapter 6: Blood Coagulation

“Doctor Wang, A-Liang is my brother. I just want to ask, how is his injury, really?”

Zhao Hu brought a few of his little brothers to find Doctor Wang from the village.

With a worried look on his face, he said, “Doctor Wang, you also know that A-Liang and I had the same master. We have a very good relationship. Now everyone outside is saying that A-Liang is not going to make it. I’m so anxious!”

“I cannot disclose any information about the patient.”

Doctor Wang’s face was cold, and he directly closed the door.

Regarding this, Zhao Hu and the others could do nothing.

In the village, Doctor Wang’s status was very special.

No one dared to offend the doctor.

After all, everyone gets sick sometimes. If you offend the doctor, who knows what kind of medicine he will give you?

“Keep inquiring. If A-Liang really isn’t going to make it, we’ll make our move!” A fierce glint flashed in Zhao Hu’s eyes, and his voice became a bit colder.

In the village, Zhao Hu wasn’t the only one eyeing Chu Liang.

Just as Chu Liang was worried about.

Hearing that he was seriously injured, many people in the village started to have ideas, especially those lazy village ruffians.

Outside Chu Liang’s yard, several village ruffians walked back and forth several times. They were as thin as weasels, their eyes filled with greed as they constantly sized up Chu Liang’s yard.

One of them, with shifty eyes, whispered, “Brothers, what do you think?”

“A-Liang has money. If we get him, we brothers won’t have to worry about food and clothing anymore. Maybe we can even get wives.”

“Hehe, get wives! Get wives!”

“I’m just afraid A-Liang still has strength.”

“That’s true…”

The village ruffians were all hesitant.

Thinking of Chu Liang’s tall and strong physique, they were a little scared.

It was no exaggeration to say that if Chu Liang wasn’t injured, he could grab them by the neck with one hand and lift them up.

Their small bodies were no match for Chu Liang!

“Let’s wait and see.”

“Alright, let’s wait a bit longer…”

Their inner fear of Chu Liang made the village ruffians decide to wait a bit longer.

After all, a serious injury couldn’t be healed in a short time.

It takes a hundred days to recover from broken bones and tendons, as the saying goes.

At this moment, Chu Liang was still lying in his room, quietly feeling the pain all over his body.

It still hurt a lot, but it was much better than last night.

“From last night until now, I’ve already used four sets of healing balm. That’s twenty taels of silver…”

Twenty taels!

In a small mountain village like Qing Shi Village, no one except for Master Hu, the landlord, could afford that much silver.

Ordinary families couldn’t save any money. They had to tighten their belts just to barely survive.

Chu Liang had been a hunter for so long, and he had only saved eight taels and seven qian.

Of course, eight taels and seven qian was still a huge fortune for the other villagers.

“The wounds on my body are all numb and tingly. I can’t move too much in the next few days. I have to wait for the wounds to heal. I hope no one with bad intentions comes in.”

For his safety during these few days, Chu Liang made ample preparations.

He hid an evolved hunting knife under his pillow. He also evolved the hunting poison and soaked his blow darts, bow, and arrows in it. He also placed the Soul-Bewitching Smoke and Corpse Melting Liquid within easy reach.

If someone really did come in with bad intentions, he could fight back even if it meant tearing his wounds open. He should be able to kill them.

Of course, it would be best if no one came in.

Chu Liang didn’t want to expose his weakness.

And so, time slowly passed…

Fortunately, the next few days were relatively peaceful.

No one came to Chu Liang’s small courtyard except for his Second Uncle Chu Erniu.

During these few days, most of the villagers were searching for Third Uncle Chu Sanniu. Many people had already entered the forest in groups, but most didn’t dare to go too deep.

With the help of the healing balm, Chu Liang’s injuries gradually improved.

◈◈◈

By the fifth day, he had basically recovered.

This rate of recovery made Chu Liang sigh, “Even with the advanced technology of my previous life, they couldn’t make a person on the verge of death from serious injuries recover in five days.”

On this night, the bright moon was clear, and silver light spilled down.

Chu Liang came to the yard and exercised his limbs until he was sweating before stopping.

“Comfortable!”

He exhaled a long breath, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and felt refreshed.

He had been lying in bed for five days, and he was tired of it!

Thanks to the Evolutionary Appraisal Mirror, otherwise he might still be lying there, or even dead.

After resting for a while, Chu Liang took out a yellowed booklet and placed it on the stone table in the yard.

“Dragon Tiger Body Refining Manual, the name is quite domineering.”

This booklet was the Blood Coagulation Chapter of the Dragon Tiger Body Refining Manual that he had obtained after evolution.

The Evolutionary Appraisal Mirror indicated that this manual could be further evolved. The next chapter was the Skin Tempering Chapter, which required twenty jin of ordinary demon beast flesh.

Chu Liang couldn’t get demon beast meat right now, but the Blood Coagulation Chapter was enough.

He opened the booklet and carefully read it.

“Blood coagulation is the first step for a martial artist.” Chu Liang’s expression was focused. “This book says that before becoming a martial artist, the Qi and blood in the body are scattered. Ordinary people cannot sense it or control it… If one can sense the power of Qi and blood and condense it into one, their strength will greatly increase…”

To coagulate blood, one must first sense the power of Qi and blood.

Qi and blood must be strong enough to be sensed.

“I’m already very strong, but it’s still not enough. I still need to train!”

Chu Liang’s eyes were fixed on the book as he continued to read.

“This manual has a set of stance training, specifically for tempering Qi and blood. There are thirty-three static stances in total: Golden Rooster Standing on One Leg, Lion Holding a Ball, Retrieving the Moon from the Seabed, Holding Shoulders and Shrinking the Body, Closing Shoulders and Lowering… and nine dynamic stances…”

Each stance had a corresponding written explanation.

There were also corresponding stance diagrams, with a small black figure demonstrating the required movements for each stance.

Chu Liang’s brows gradually furrowed, deepening as he read further.

These movements…

Were difficult!

Some of the stance movements were even more difficult than the yoga he knew from his previous life.

“Ordinary movements cannot temper the whole body. Although these stances are difficult, they can train most parts of the body.”

To practice martial arts, one must endure hardship!

Chu Liang was mentally prepared.

To become a superior person, to be a master, how can you do it without enduring hardship?

“Just stance training is not enough. It must be combined with food supplements and medicine supplements, otherwise one will train oneself to death…”

Generally speaking, half of it is training, and the other half is eating!

For poor people, even if they were lucky enough to know the stance training and understand the precautions, they would not be able to become martial artists.

Eating… this alone was enough to keep most people out of the path of martial arts.

“I have the Evolutionary Appraisal Mirror. I can get enough money and food. This is my capital!”

Chu Liang was full of confidence.

A little hardship was nothing.

He continued to read until late at night.

“I’ll start practicing martial arts tomorrow!”

Chu Liang put down the manual, stood up, and stretched. He felt a sense of openness before him.

The path of martial arts in this world had opened up to him.

“Whoosh—”

A gust of night wind blew by.

Rustle…

The manual on the stone table moved with the wind, its pages flipping rapidly. The black figures in each stance diagram connected their movements, as if they had come to life.
