Chapter 52: Marrow cleansing and blood exchange, the dragon boy
"It's easy to know where I'm waiting. Maybe I bumped into him accidentally.
But how did that person in the secret know the skills you practiced?"
"Not bad!"
Tie Tang nodded in agreement.
He considers himself not a celebrity. Although he is somewhat famous, it is limited to Yuncheng and a few surrounding counties.
What's more, many people have only heard of his name and don't even know what he looks like, let alone what kind of skills he practices.
"It seems...that person in the secret should know me and know that I practice the Five Phase Diagram of the Wild Ox, and even guessed my purpose of coming to Longyuan City."
"Who could it be?" Tie Tang's mind ran through a selection of individuals, and finally settled on a few of them.
At this time, Wang Andao interrupted his thoughts: "Tietou, don't care what that person wants.
Are you sure this picture is real? If it is a fake catalog, it would be a joke."
"Let's go out of the city first and find a quiet place. I will have my own means to identify the authenticity."
——
Longyuan City, outside the south city.
This is a secluded and uninhabited section of a large embankment, with a weeping willow planted every few feet. Under the wall is the surging Qujiang River.
Normally, many literati would come here to study and enjoy the scenery, and many crazy men and resentful women also regarded this place as a holy place.
However, it is now the fourth or fifth watch, and the night is almost gone. There is almost no one here.
Wang Andao found an open space and lay down with his eyes closed, without looking at Tie Tang, and began to catch up on his sleep.
Not long after, there was a thunderous snoring sound.
A martial artist in the physical realm can stay awake for days and nights and still be energetic and refreshed.
But once they fall asleep, they can sleep for several days and nights. If someone who doesn't know what they are doing sees it, they may think it is a corpse.
Tie Tang placed the image of the sun and moon on the ground, sat cross-legged, and carefully tried to figure out the true meaning of martial arts in it.
He has now reached the Great Perfection of Marrow Cleansing, and his improvement in cultivation has made him no longer ignorant about martial arts.
Although he is not as pure a martial artist as Wang Andao, he has begun to have some understanding of his own.
Just based on this catalog on the ground...
Tie Tang is 70% to 80% sure that it is the real picture.
If that were the case, he would not practice rashly without being 100% sure, but he still had a trump card.
"Whether it is true or not, you will know once you try it!"
There are eight pictures in total of the sun and moon phases.
Three of the paintings are meant to absorb the essence of the big sun, and the other three paintings are meant to attract the beauty of the cold moon.
The last two paintings are about swallowing the sun and the moon and spitting out the sun and the moon respectively. One swallow and one spit are wonderful.
After Tie Tang read it, he started practicing on the spot, practicing each of the eight scenes and the exercise route.
Then he sat down cross-legged on the spot and immersed his consciousness in his mind.
"My judgment may be wrong, but the panel will not!"
[Name tab: Tietang]
[Cultivation: Marrow Cleansing Realm·Perfection]
[Exercise: Five-Phase Diagram of the Wild Ox·Remnant]
[Martial Arts: Vigorous Eagle Claw Kung Fu (Grandmaster), Eight Steps to Chase the Cicada (Perfect), Hunyuan Opening Monument Shou (Beginner)]
【Star Yuan: 21】
"It's a real picture. It's actually the fifth phase of the exercise. It's guaranteed to be fake!"
Tie Tang is very convinced.
Because in the exercise column, the numbers that originally disappeared appeared again.
It means that he has the follow-up skills and can continue to improve.
"Wait a minute, since I have obtained the five complete catalogs, all five aspects are complete, why are the ones shown here still incomplete?"
After the five-phase diagram of the Mangniu, there is the word "broken", which means that this skill is incomplete.
At first, Tie Tang thought it was because he didn't get all the catalogs, so it was natural that they were incomplete.
But it’s different now!
He obviously has all five aspects, and in theory it is a complete skill.
"The five-phase diagram of the wild cow is extraordinary. This technique has another mystery. It is an extremely rare double-refining method."
"Practice once in the forward direction and again in the opposite direction. You can practice both forward and backward. It is a double practice."
Two sentences suddenly broke into Tie Tang's mind and made him realize it.
"There will be no mistakes on the panel. Since the display is still incomplete, it means that this skill is incomplete.
But my five pictures are already complete, where can I go to complete them...
Do you really have to practice backwards?"
Things are definitely not that simple, but these are not within Tie Tang's scope now.
"It's useless to think too much. Improve your cultivation first. It's not in vain that I reserved 20 star points."
Focusing his consciousness on the exercises, Tie Tang thought silently in his heart.
"Promote!"
The number of stars instantly decreased by 20 points.
Then the words "Martial Arts" began to distort, and the column of "Cultivation" turned into starlight.
Tick tock!
Tick tock!
Drops of new blood are born from Tietang's heart.
As soon as these new blood appeared, they crowded out the old blood, making them look out of place and a bit domineering.
Tie Tang felt strange at this moment. He felt as if he could see what was going on inside his body.
This feeling is very subtle.
It's like touching an object with your hands.
If this object is something he has seen with his eyes, then he can know what it is and what its current state is by touching it.
But if he has never seen this thing with his eyes...
Even if you touch it with your hands, you may not be able to know what kind of object it is and what state it is in. It is like a blind man touching an elephant.
And Tie Tang is now in the latter position.
With his knowledge of the human body's own structure, he can feel the location of his heart, liver, spleen, lungs, kidneys and other organs.
You can also roughly feel the location of some bones and tendons, and what their current status is.
But in some places he didn't know... he could only have a hazy perception, but it was not clear.
Unless he has a pair of 'eyes', let him look at it first.
Boom!
Dull thunder sounds sounded from his body, and new blood was born faster and faster, and soon 10% of the old blood was devoured and replaced.
Tie Tang feels that his current strength is both improving rapidly and declining at the same time.
Two extremely contradictory feelings filled the body at the same time.
And when the new blood increased again, the vitality of the rain and mist he was born in the Marrow Cleansing Realm was no longer enough to support this change, and he began to absorb Tie Tang's own vitality.

"No, if this continues, I'm going to kill myself, right?" Tie Tang was shocked.
But soon.
The subtlety of martial arts is demonstrated again.
At the Dantian, where the twelve meridians and tendons meet, there was originally a sea of blood, but suddenly a golden light emerged from the sky.
One of the brightest light spots emerged, like a slowly opening door, from which a lot of vitality, essence, and some inexplicable substances burst out.
"This is...the location of the Shenhai point. Is it the first orifice point that has been penetrated?"
Mrs. Liu gave him a cup of Seven Star Tea that day, and Tie Tang had already figured out the locations of his ninety acupoints.
At this time, the place where golden light appears in the Dantian is one of the large acupoints, the Shenhai acupoint.
Once the first acupoint appeared, two more major acupoints soon emerged.
They are the Tanzhong point between the chest and the Yintang point between the eyebrows.
Relying on the power of the three major acupoints, Tie Tang's physical treasures were developed and he entered the realm of blood exchange normally.
A long time.
All movement has calmed down.
Tie Tang, who was sitting cross-legged, tried to stand up, but almost fell to the side.
"Huh? Why does it feel so weird? My body seems to be disobedient."
He obviously wanted to stand up, but halfway through, he suddenly sat down.
"Don't panic, it's normal. You can get used to it a little bit." The sleeping Wang Andao didn't know when he woke up and looked at Tie Tang strangely.
"How do you practice, kid? Either you make no progress at all, or you do it at an alarmingly fast speed.
Do you know...if your current cultivation speed were to spread, how many heroes would you surpass?"
Tie Tang shook his head decisively: "No, just keep silent and make a fortune. When I get to the secret realm of Wu Jin, no one will care about these details."
"It doesn't matter that you don't have a good reputation now. I'm just afraid that in the future... you will be targeted by some interested people.
You have to know that for some people, seeing that you have better qualifications than him would be more uncomfortable than killing him."
Tie Tang smiled and said: "I understand this truth, otherwise I wouldn't come here to practice.
Now it’s just you and me. As long as you don’t tell me, who knows how far my cultivation has reached?”
"That's weird, that's weird!" Wang Andao stepped forward and looked at his friend back and forth, wanting to know how he practiced.
But there was no need to think about it. There must be some secrets involved, which could not be disclosed casually, so he did not ask, so as not to embarrass Tie Tang.
"Forget it, your improvement in cultivation is something to be happy about. Maybe you and I can enter the secret realm of witchcraft together and receive the true seed of martial arts together.
I really want to know... what talents will you get, Tietou?"
Tie Tang touched the back of his head and laughed at himself.
"Maybe it's Tietou Gong!"
Wang An was delighted: "If that's true, it's not bad.
The head is the first of the six Yangs. As long as the head is protected, no matter how serious the injury is, there is still a glimmer of hope."
"Let's not talk about this. The purpose of my trip has been achieved. It stands to reason that I should return...Old Wang, what are your plans?"
Without even thinking about it, Wang Andao said a wise saying: "Everyone is here!"
While the two were talking and laughing, a glimmer of light lit up in the sky, and the full moon gradually disappeared.
Beneath the dam in front of me, the surging river water suddenly rose several feet high, even exceeding the height of the dam.
A scaly and armored red dragon emerged from the green river water and pressed its claws onto the embankment.
Then his whole body swayed and turned into a handsome young man who looked to be only fifteen or six years old.
Tie Tang and Wang Andao, who were several feet away, were stunned when they saw this scene.
It's not that I was shocked by the dragon's transformation into a human body, but I was shocked by the appearance of this dragon.
"Whoever dressed him up like this...is too disgraced."
"In my opinion, I am either an elder sister or a younger sister."
"That's probably the case!"
It’s hard to imagine.
A strong man eight feet tall with bulging muscles all over his body...
It turned out to be a young man with a braided head, bright blush on his cheeks, wearing a lotus koi bellyband, revealing a small amount of chest hair.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Seeing the young man approaching who was like the earth shaking with each step, Tie Tang and Wang Andao swallowed unconsciously.
"I dare to ask my two brothers, do you know when the Qujiang Feast will start today? Where is it located?"
Although the young man is dressed strangely, his eyes are clear and his manners are polite. There is no trace of the arrogance of the Jiao tribe when facing the human race, nor is there any humility.
Tie Tang stood up and suppressed a smile: "Ahem! Little brother, you look so dignified... I'm afraid it won't be easy for you to go to the banquet."
"What nonsense are you talking about? Give me a punch first!"
