Chapter 108 Qi and Blood Martial Arts
"What's the situation?" Gu Qingyuan strode over. Some time had passed since Zifu had set out.

Xi Jing shook his head: "The demon race wins because of their large numbers. We humans have too few purple palaces, and ordinary beasts and monsters are everywhere. Now the three sects are taking the lead, and the human purple palaces are all out, leading the righteous disciples to put out fires everywhere, gather the people, and move all the people in the villages and towns to the city. With the help of the purple palaces, the big city has sprung up in an instant, but the facilities inside are not so complete. Fortunately, the people also know how to build on their own, so the situation is not too bad. What about you, can you see anything about the alienated calamity beast?"

"That mutated calamity beast has rough skin and thick flesh, and it has grown black scales that can weaken the power of cultivators' magical powers and spells. In addition, its body is strong. A calamity beast that was sent by Zifu to build a foundation has disappeared from its body of immortality and merged with its flesh. Most of its magic power has turned into qi and blood, and its immortal powers are no longer there. Instead, it has developed countless magical powers of flesh and blood. It can also swallow clouds and spit out mist, and its body emits divine light, but it is already different from an alchemist." Gu Qingyuan slowly revealed his findings.

Xi Jing frowned, "We cannot comprehend the calamity energy and the divine power of flesh and blood, as if there is a barrier. Logically speaking, with my Purple Mansion cultivation, even if I don't understand the magic, I can still see some details. This shouldn't be the case."

"Have you ever thought that this is a calamity sent by heaven and earth to target the cultivators of the world, using calamity energy to obscure the spirit and make it impossible to see through the flesh and blood magical powers. It is very similar to the energy covering the eyes and hindering knowledge and vision. It has also spawned countless black-scaled calamity beasts that specialize in restraining magic power and magical powers. If a wave of monsters had not been strangled in advance, causing them to suffer heavy damage, I'm afraid the situation would not be as clear as it is now." Gu Qingyuan guessed.

Xi Jing smiled and said, "We just can't see through the calamity, but we are not fools. Elder Taixu has already summoned the elders of the three sects to discuss the situation. There are no less than a thousand different scenarios and guesses. What you are worried about is the most popular and has the most recognition."

"I naturally have no doubt about Zifu's wisdom, but do you have a plan to deal with it?"

Xi Jing shook his head: "The most effective way is to kill them all. Killing them will turn the world upside down, exterminate the demon race, and protect the human race for a while. But the Purple Mansions didn't expect that things would be so simple. If this disaster is against us cultivators, then we will naturally have many tricks up our sleeves. We have already fallen behind by remaining unchanged in the face of all changes. It is really a helpless move."

He suddenly looked at Gu Qingyuan: "You and Jiang Feng may be the variables in this chess game between heaven and man."

"Oh? What do you mean?" Gu Qingyuan smiled slightly.

Xijing pointed at him and smiled, "Don't play dumb. The calamity sent down by heaven is rooted in calamity energy, but you are an anomaly. The changes in calamity energy and the supernatural powers of flesh and blood are as clear as seeing fire. It's like standing outside the chess game and seeing clearly that Jiang Feng is entangled in calamity energy. Perhaps it's the back-up plan of heaven, and it's you, Gu Qingyuan. In fact, I also suspect that you are the mastermind behind this great calamity of heaven and earth."

After Xi Jing said this, the atmosphere became somewhat heavy. Xi Jing looked at Gu Qingyuan and asked word by word, "Excuse me, fellow Taoist, is this you?"

"Of course not. You are overthinking it, senior." Gu Qingyuan replied with a smile.

"I also know that this action is somewhat inappropriate, but in the face of a great catastrophe, I dare not be careless. Please forgive me, fellow Daoist." Xi Jing bowed his hands as an apology.

Gu Qingyuan didn't care: "It's only natural. It would be strange if you didn't think of me."

When everyone was confused and puzzled, someone suddenly jumped out as a prophet. Everyone would doubt it. Anyone who believed in it was a fool, and hundreds of years would have been lived in vain.

When Gu Qingyuan came to this world, his biggest feeling was that all the practitioners were like humans. They could think, speak, and gamble for their own interests. From the details, it can be seen that their lifespans were not wasted and each of them was experienced and wise.

If it was really like in the novels of the previous life, a female cultivator would act for thousands of years but was unsympathetic, and could easily win someone's heart with just a few words. She would blush and be extremely shy when holding hands. An old cultivator would be irritable and easily angered, and would always ignore the inner interests and act recklessly without showing any sophistication. Then the endless time would be like living on a pig. Gu Qingyuan would never believe it.

It cannot be said that this situation does not exist, but it can be said that it is very rare.

"The cultivators in the world are actually planning for mortals. I thought you would say that immortals are different and watch mortals suffer." Gu Qingyuan said, talking about the purple mansions gathering mortals and protecting the people. The "you" in the words refers to the cultivators in this world. After all, since he came to this world, the hierarchy is really strict. The cultivators treat mortals as nothing, and there is almost reproductive isolation. Xi Jing looked at him in confusion, thinking that he was referring to the upper three sects: "All sects in the world are worshipped by mortals. We cultivators originally came from mortals, and we should return to mortals. It is natural that immortals and mortals are different. Even if you, a purple mansion, shouts that everyone is equal, you know that you are very different from mortals. But we seek immortality and call ourselves immortals. Immortals are immortals in front and humans in the back. Without humans, where would immortals come from? What we care about is the rise and fall of the human race and the prosperity of humanity, not the life and death of one or two mortals. I am a little surprised that you have extraordinary understanding and quick thinking and cannot understand this truth."

Gu Qingyuan smiled and said nothing.

"If the calamity falls, humanity will collapse, and I don't know how many storms will be set off. There is no need to worry about the foundation-building demon clan, but I am afraid that there are still hidden purple mansion demon clan. With the blessing of the calamity energy, their combat power will increase greatly. They can destroy a village today and a city tomorrow. Relying solely on guerrilla tactics, they can lead the purple mansion clan by the nose and use the tactic of tiring the soldiers. The enemy is in the dark and we are in the light. We just defend and wait for the attack. If it takes too long, we will surely lose!" Xi Jing couldn't help but feel distressed.

Gu Qingyuan opened his hand, revealing a ball of blood and energy. "The situation is still unclear, and we don't know how many changes the calamity energy will undergo. I do have a solution, but I don't know if I should say it or not."

"It's already this time, tell me quickly." Xi Jing responded, staring at the ball of blood, with some vague guesses in his heart.

"The enemy is in the light and we are in the dark. It's simply because the human race lacks combat power. This ball of blood and energy was realized by one of my clones through a technique, and with the calamity qi, blood and flesh magical power as a sample reference, I made some improvements and turned it into a blood and energy martial art." Gu Qingyuan showed the blood and energy to Xijing.

"This Qi and Blood Martial Arts combines Qi and Blood, Divine Power, and the Three Treasures of Essence, Energy, and Spirit. Combined with some of the martial arts moves and combat techniques I learned through my participation, it can increase the combat power of practitioners in a short period of time."

"My Qi and Blood Martial Arts is not like the Immortal Martial Arts, which emphasizes natural talent first. It emphasizes cultivation and training. Everyone can practice it, even mortals. With sufficient blood and flesh supply, the initial progress is much faster than that of the Immortal Martial Arts. It can make a mortal body strong, replenish Qi and blood, quickly form combat power, and gain a certain life-saving power."

Gu Qingyuan had long planned for this Qi and Blood Martial Arts, a set of methods created by integrating the essence of True Qi and Qi and blood, which was perfected by Dongquan and supplemented by the magical power of flesh and blood. When the evil dragon performed the grand sacrifice, mortals did not dare to resist, nor were they able to do so. Gu Qingyuan had a vague idea about this, and now that this path has been mostly completed by the magical power of flesh and blood, he has finally revealed it all.

Xi Jing looked at the blood flowing red like jade and asked slowly, "What about the disadvantages?"

"My Qi and Blood Martial Arts is mostly derived from the blood and flesh magical powers caused by the calamity Qi, but it is not as frequent as the blood alienation. The calamity beast is manic and confused. In fact, it is caused by the endless manifestation of clusters of strange phenomena and continuous evolution. My method is much more soothing. One step at a time. Only when you climb the steps will the strange phenomena appear. In the later stage, the blood and flesh magical powers can be complete. I just haven't sorted it out yet, but in a short period of time, it can also make a mortal have the power of Qi training and fighting."

"It's just that this Qi and blood martial arts is incompatible with magic power. Even if you cultivate magic power, it will be dissipated by the power of Qi and blood. This is very serious. Senior, please consider it carefully."

Gu Qingyuan transformed the Qi and blood into a small ball, added restrictions, and took out a book with "The Explanation of the True Form of Qi and Blood" written on it.

'It is incompatible with magical power. The path to immortality is different. Everyone can practice it and make rapid progress. This method must be released to dig up the foundation of my immortality.'

Staring at the booklet, Xi Jing didn't dare to take it for a moment. He vaguely saw that the world was full of Qi and blood martial arts, and the immortal arts were declining. After all, although the immortal arts could be passed on, they also required talent and were quite costly, and it was difficult for one out of a hundred to become proficient. But the Qi and blood martial arts were nothing more than eating more meat. There were so many mortals, and even if one-tenth of them practiced them, with the increase in numbers, the low-level alchemists would be drowned in the sea of ​​people in an instant and would not be able to make much waves.

"I will hand this matter over to my uncle, and let him discuss it with other sects and make a decision." Xi Jing finally took it over. "Fellow Daoist Gu is always good at giving me surprises. Once this method is released, I'm afraid you will become a great master of Qi and Blood Martial Arts, and the title of Martial Ancestor will be yours."

Xijing shook his head and sighed.
