After sitting cross-legged and meditating for a long time, Zhang Mingtu healed his injuries bit by bit.
Feeling the strong and powerful state between the bones and meridians, he smiled slightly.
The bones of the whole body are like mutton-fat white jade, shiny and strong, and the Qi pulses throughout the body are long and powerful, but the Qi and blood consumption is a bit large, and the face is still a little pale.
The fifth stage of marrow cleansing and blood exchange broke through silently, and the true essence also entered this stage.
If you practice normally, it will take more than a month.
However, Zhang Mingtu took some shortcuts, and the price of taking the shortcuts was that all the monster blood and related herbs accumulated over the years were consumed.
Normally, breaking through to the fifth level of marrow washing and blood transfusion would not require so much consumption.
A lot of energy was wasted in the fight between dragon and tiger for no reason.
Is it a pity? It is indeed a pity, but Zhang Mingtu does not feel any regrets.
Time waits not for us, as the storm continues to sweep across.
As he gradually entered the center of the storm formation, his strength and realm became increasingly insufficient, and he was often stretched thin.
"Blood Knife Hongji!"
Zhang Mingtu couldn't help but repeat the name again.
He has been able to determine that this grandmaster-level figure must be connected with the figure in the Land of the Rising Sun. If he continues like this, if he continues to act like this, he will inevitably have a face-to-face meeting with him.
He was not even sure when this master-level figure would appear in front of him, and he had experienced the Book of Life and Death changing the future many times.
Zhang Mingtu clearly knows that the future is definitely not static. The future he has seen will not maintain that rhythm forever. The general trend cannot be changed, but small trends will continue to undergo subtle changes.
Who knows if I continue walking at this pace, one day I will encounter that bloody swordsman Hong Ji.
Zhang Mingtu took out a blood pill from his arms and swallowed it in one gulp.
The vigorous life essence suddenly spurted out from the inside of the body, causing Zhang Mingtu's face to flush with blood.
In the past, after swallowing pills and related monster essence and blood inside the body, there would be a feeling of fullness and no desire to absorb them.
After swallowing it today, there was an extremely strong sense of longing inside the body and between the limbs and bones.
Without much resistance, the vigorous life economy was absorbed by the body in the blink of an eye, and Zhang Mingtu even felt a faint sense of weakness in his body.
"You still have to pay attention. At least you have to rest for a while before trying again."
Feeling the faint feeling of weakness deep inside his body, Zhang Mingtu knew that forcing the dragon and tiger to compete this time had indeed consumed a lot of his potential.
Even with the Taotie method and swallowing a large amount of energy in advance, his body still suffered considerable damage.
Although his body was damaged, Zhang Mingtu's eyes were filled with brilliant light.
If he normally improves his cultivation level, his progress will be extremely rapid, and there is no need to suffer such a loss. But he still pays so much, and of course the gains are huge.
At least the body that he had reached the limit with his master-level training speed has cooled down again.
At least the physical body and true energy cultivation will no longer be restricted. With enough heavenly materials and earthly treasures and careful maintenance, one can break through quickly without encountering too many obstacles.
For other characters, this may be dispensable and not of much significance.
After all, breakthroughs are not something you can just break through if you want to. If you have not reached the accumulation, understanding, and natural talent, and if you have not reached any of the three levels of energy, energy, and spirit, there is no way to break through.
After all, not everyone is the overlord of Western Chu, and it is completely unreasonable to break through. However, he had already become a martial saint in the world a year ago, and he was truly a towering figure soaring in the world.
It was different for Zhang Mingtu. He knew clearly that his talent was average and a little worse than ordinary martial arts practitioners, let alone the Overlord of Western Chu.
But he has always worked hard, and with the help of 99% of his efforts and 1% of the help of his brothers, he did not have many thresholds before reaching the master level.
It was actually a great thing for him that his body had cooled down again.
"You still have to take a rest."
Then he swallowed the remaining two pellets of essence and blood into his belly, and the vigorous life essence flowed to every corner of his body.
Normally, it would be impossible to swallow such a strong amount of energy, but with the operation of the Taotie Technique, a black hole seemed to appear in Zhang Mingtu's body, and all the energy was swallowed into it, and then slowly released.
…
In Yaodu, on the river where Zhang Mingtu once killed demons, a large ship was moored here with a ship full of people. On the bow of the ship, Wang Fuyuan was happily recounting the scene of that day.
The group of people below listened attentively and applauded from time to time when the wonderful words were spoken.
"...When the carp demon that was more than ten feet long jumped out of the river, a huge shadow was cast on the water, giving people a great sense of oppression.
And the Iron Bold Divine Fist calmly stood on top of the dragon turtle, and punched out, while the scales were shattered, the carp demon..."
A middle-aged man wearing a bamboo hat and linen clothes stood among the crowd, listening quietly.
His eyes were scanning the river more and more. He was here, but his thoughts seemed to be far away. On his back was a long knife that was almost as tall as a person.
The long knife is slender and similar in style to Miao Dao and Tang Dao.
"Young genius, Zhang family in Kyoto..."
The middle-aged man murmured to himself, thinking about the young prodigy and the Zhang family in Kyoto, his eyes were indifferent, and there was no reverence in the eyes of the people around him.
His eyes were fixed on a statue not far from the river.
The statue is of a young man standing on a dragon turtle. The young man is tall and tall. He has one foot on the back of the dragon turtle, which makes him even more energetic.
The left fist was placed at the side of the body, the right fist was raised high, and the eyes were staring into the void in front of him.
Coupled with that handsome face, he can be regarded as a first-rate young hero.
"The genius of the Zhang family..."
The man in the middle silently remembered this appearance in his heart. Listening to the continuous admiration from all around him, he couldn't help but touch the long knife behind his back with his right hand, clenching it tightly and then releasing it.
After hearing this, he quietly stepped off the boat and strode towards Bashan County.
…
Tuk, Tuk, Tuk!
Zhang Mingtu was about to continue taking a rest when the sound of Jin Yiwei Xiaoqi's voice sounded at the door.
"General Zhang Qi, the county magistrate has invited you."
Zhang Mingtu let out a breath, tidied up his surroundings a little, and straightened his clothes in front of the bronze mirror.
Seeing that there was nothing strange about him and no serious injuries, he nodded.
"Got it, come right away."
When I opened the door, someone was already leading the way. It was smooth all the way to the county office. Ruihai was already waiting in the lobby.
Seeing Zhang Mingtu, a slight smile appeared on his face and he said softly: "The transfer order has been issued. We have to pack up and take office."
