Chapter 51 Breakthrough to Blood Burning!
Five days later.
Many details of the Heyang Elegant Banquet eventually leaked out.
The Fan family was the first to side with the River Law Firm, and when the news spread, all the families were incredulous.
Over the years, the River Law Office has repeatedly challenged the bottom line of many grain merchant families, and water prices have risen year after year.
Fan Ling's actions undoubtedly betrayed the entire grain merchant family, and many family heads have expressed their opinions, demanding an explanation from the Fan family.
Faced with the overwhelming wave of public opinion, the Fan family kept a low profile and refused to see anyone.
Originally, the Fan family wanted to lay low for a while, but the Lin and Feng families caught them off guard by opening large-scale porridge shops and sorting out the refugees.
This time, the Lin family, in conjunction with the Feng family, launched a campaign to distribute porridge and grain throughout Qingyan City and its subordinate villages and towns.
Many families also sensed something unusual, and after talking with Lin Che all night, they all chose to follow suit.
Not only that, they also took the initiative to lower grain prices, which made the displaced people cheer with joy.
The sheer scale of the event prompted a flurry of discussions among high-ranking government officials, including the city lord, the river administration commissioner, the grain commissioner, the provincial administration commissioner, and the civil official.
For a time, undercurrents surged within Qingyan City.
...
...
After returning from the Lin family.
After handling a few more matters related to family promotions and arranging for Zheng Bo to contact the Zhao family's ironworks and help the farmers repair pots and pans at the farm, Feng Xiu took care of some trivial matters.
He then began his seclusion again.
Feng Xiu has always had his own plans regarding his own strength and realm, and he never changes them based on external circumstances.
Even during the crisis between Su Wantang and the owner of the pond a few days ago, Feng Xiu still wanted to push his limits.
But Fan Ling's defection made him suddenly realize that chaos had arrived.
Without strong power, even with abundant family resources, one is merely a sitting duck to be manipulated.
Breaking through the Blood Burning Realm is imperative!

.....
Inside the training room.
The room, which was warm in winter and cool in summer, seemed to be filled with a layer of steaming, scorching heat.
The original training area for honing strength and tempering muscles and bones has now been replaced by an enormous metal medicine barrel.
Beneath the silvery-white barrel, eight stacked blue bricks support the iron barrel, lifting it about an inch off the ground.
Coal and charcoal burn at extremely high temperatures.
Inside the iron bucket, bubbling boiling water churned with countless ginseng, codonopsis, tiger bone, concentrated deer blood, and other highly nourishing ingredients. After being simmered for a long time, the medicinal liquid had a deep, dark color, resembling thick black mud.
At this moment, Feng Xiu's eyes were slightly closed, his upper body was naked, and his body was leaning against the barrel wall, still soaked in countless viscous medicinal liquids.
The medicinal power flowed into the whole body like a surging ocean, following the skin's texture and pores.

Feng Xiu silently felt the continuous flow of qi and blood within his body, exhaled slightly, focused his mind on his dantian, and slowly opened his eyes.
"It's still not enough, I want more than this!" A strong sense of unwillingness flashed in his eyes.
Five days have passed, and Feng Xiu has once again refined his own qi and blood to a deeper level.
The benefit is that all the data have also improved significantly.
The downsides are also obvious; this is basically the limit of the Body Refinement Realm.
Now, Feng Xiu could clearly feel the faint tearing sensation between his skin and bones.
So much so that even the slightest exertion can create a strong sensation of one's body exploding.
"Phew~"
Feng Xiu took a deep breath, and his eyes returned to a calm and resolute expression.
I raised my head slightly and looked at the wall, where there was a huge diagram of the human body's meridians and acupoints.
On the human body in the drawing, there are several black marks on the shoulders, elbows, backs of hands, legs, knees, ankles, waist and hips.
Especially around the heart, it is marked with a red line, making it very conspicuous.
Feng Xiu stared intently, carefully examining the Ren, Du, and Chong meridians, as well as the twelve regular meridians.
"Blood lock, heart lock, arm lock, leg lock, chest lock."
"Compress, compress some more, I hope you won't disappoint me~" Feng Xiu murmured to himself.
At the churning medicinal liquid on the chest, a century-old ginseng rippled, and a bronze arm slowly rose from the liquid.
The four fingers are bent, the middle finger is raised, and the nails are sharp.
Feng Xiu watched.
His eyes closed and then suddenly opened, as if he had made some kind of decision.
His right middle finger suddenly pierced through the liquid, the movement so large that a large amount of liquid splashed out instantly.
It was poured onto the burning charcoal, producing a puff of white smoke and a sizzling sound.
Then, press hard towards the area below the dantian in the lower abdomen!
The next second, countless condensed and accumulated qi and blood burst out of his body, and Feng Xiu's face turned pale!
The chaotic torrent is like a surging sea, constantly crashing against the three meridians and acupoints.
Accompanied by a violent tearing sensation as skin snapped open.
Feng Xiu took a deep breath, steadied his mind, and silently circulated the Five Elements Internal Breathing Technique and the Dragon-Snake Breathing Technique.
Only after using the two breathing techniques did the turbulent blood and qi improve slightly.
At the same time, in accordance with the concept of the Blood Gate and Qi Lock of the Overlord Fist, the Qi and blood were continuously controlled to surge upwards, and then forcibly stopped at the Guanyuan acupoint, slowly gathering in the chest and heart area.
One failure, and one's vital energy and blood begin to dissipate.
After two failures, the feeling of blood and qi gradually subsided.
Feng Xiu's face was pale, but he continued to breathe. He reached out and grabbed the Blood-Replenishing Pill from the table, which was as tall as the medicine barrel, and swallowed it.
Instantly, the medicinal effects were rapidly broken down, and the body's blood and qi surged out once again.
Feng Xiu doesn't have many internal energy cultivation techniques right now, only the Five Forces he relies on, according to what Xiang Geng said.
The dispersal of qi and blood is only done when one is in the Blood Burning Realm, after the qi and blood in the body have been generated on their own, in preparation for cultivating the second type of strength.
But Feng Xiu still chose to disperse his blood in the Body Refinement Realm!
As long as the Qi and blood are tempered and solidified again, and there is a Qi lock that will soon be applied to the heart by the blood gate, in conjunction with other blood gates.
This way, the potential impurities and hidden dangers arising from practicing multiple types of strength can be minimized!
This step cannot fail!
"The ultimate concept of the Blood Gate Qi Lock is that the core is only the heart. As long as this is successful, everything else will fall into place naturally."
Feng Xiu quickly thought of something else.
After several days of repeated discussions, Feng Xiu has gained a deeper understanding of his ideas for the Overlord Fist.
However, this step was extremely difficult and risky, and only after condensing his Qi and blood did Feng Xiu dare to attempt it.
At this moment, Feng Xiu was constantly visualizing the prototype of the Blood Gate Qi Lock in his mind, forcibly controlling the blood and qi in his chest and condensing it towards his heart.
Even though Feng Xiu had prepared for the worst in this step, he still underestimated the difficulty of the Heart Lock when it was actually implemented.
The heart is the source of qi and blood; locking the heart's framework of qi and blood is no less effective than someone tightly gripping the heart.
With each step the airlock advanced, the feeling of suffocation and compression intensified.
"Uh~" Feng Xiu couldn't help but groan.
My vision started to go black, and I heard a buzzing sound in my ears.
The cold sweat on my forehead was indistinguishable from heat.
"continue!"
Feng Xiu's breathing gradually deepened, and the blood and qi in his body stopped surging, spreading inch by inch along his heart.
Just as the progress was halfway complete, the blood and qi dissipated again, and the feeling of pressure suddenly disappeared.
The previously gathered qi and blood showed faint signs of flowing back.
Seeing this, Feng Xiu grabbed another Blood-Replenishing Pill from the table without hesitation and swallowed it again.
The medicinal power contained the energy of blood and qi, which instantly filled the body and flowed out in strands, slowly promoting the construction of the heart lock.
