Immortality Martial Arts: I Started with the Five Animals Health Fist

“That’s only natural, thank you!” Su Changkong expressed his grateful thanks, for with this cultivation technique, his Heaven Silkworm Technique could be cultivated to an even higher realm!

“Elder Su, you don’t seem to be an Innate Martial Artist yet?” Helian Yuan ventured to ask.

With his impressive combat power, Su Changkong had slain Zheng Feisha, who had unlocked two Heavenly Pulses, but according to what Qian Rui had said, Su Changkong was suspected to be in the Qi-Blood Realm, and might not even have reached the perfection stage of the Qi-Blood Realm. Helian Yuan couldn’t help but confirm with Su Changkong personally.

“Hmm, there’s still some distance to go.” Su Changkong nodded faintly, acknowledging this fact.

Helian Yuan inwardly marveled, “To slay an Innate Martial Artist without having reached the Innate level? I’ve only heard of such feats from top sects’ geniuses, scions of nobility with rich bloodlines, and members of the royal family!”

The gap between the Qi-Blood Realm and the Innate Realm is vast. That Su Changkong could slay an Innate Martial Artist while being in the Qi-Blood Realm was not unique, but among those who could, even within noble families and top sects, they were few and far between, each one a top prodigy, either practicing the most elite cultivation techniques or born of extraordinary backgrounds with exceptionally powerful bloodlines!

That Su Changkong had achieved this was quite remarkable.

Helian Yuan said with some regret, “Our Spirit Taoist Sect occupies Zhongling Mountain, and although the mountain is a place with excellent fengshui, conditions that can give birth to Innate Qi, only four or five strands appear every hundred years. The last occurrence of Innate Qi was over a decade ago.”

Upon hearing this, Su Changkong couldn’t hide his disappointment. Helian Yuan’s words were also hinting that it’s not that the Spirit Taoist Sect wouldn’t give him Innate Qi, but that they didn’t have it.

In the ranks of all the great sects of Central State, the Spirit Taoist Sect isn’t considered small, but it definitely cannot be called a top sect. After all, its legacy is only a thousand years old, and some noble families and top sects existed even before the establishment of the Great Flame Empire, so they are incomparable.

The Spirit Taoist Sect’s base, Zhongling Mountain, also produces Innate Qi very slowly, averaging only four or five strands every hundred years.

“For the next strand of Innate Qi to emerge in the Spirit Taoist Sect, it’ll probably take about ten years, and even then, as merely a Guest Elder, the sect would certainly prioritize its own people…”

thought Su Changkong to himself.

Obtaining Innate Qi from the Spirit Taoist Sect would be extremely difficult. Even if the sect were willing to give their Guest Elder Innate Qi, he would have to wait about ten years, which was far too long!

“Let it be, I will think about Innate Qi later.” Su Changkong didn’t dwell on it further, confident that a solution would present itself when the time came.

“Elder Su, you may come to me for any matter.”

Helian Yuan did not disturb Su Changkong any further and left after saying these words, letting Su Changkong rest in peace.

“What I need to do now, is to reach the Qi Blood Twelve Transformation. Moreover, the Heaven Silkworm Technique should be able to progress further, then next is to find a way to obtain Innate Qi and challenge the Innate Realm!”

In the elegant estate of the Spirit Taoist Sect, Su Changkong mulled over his next goals.

Previously, Su Changkong’s meridians were shattered, preventing him from refining the fierce medicinal power of the Pill Medicines. The Dragon Blood Pills left by Pei Yang before his departure were enough for him to practice up to the Qi Blood Twelve Transformation, and he hadn’t used a single one. Now that his practice of the Heaven Silkworm Technique had healed his meridians, he could complete the remaining two Blood Refinings.

Having obtained the complete Heaven Silkworm Technique cultivation practice, this technique had considerable potential, a wondrous technique capable of healing injuries. When practiced to a deep level, it could be life-saving at critical moments.

Then, Su Changkong returned to the barren mountain outside the village, dozens of miles away from the Spirit Taoist Sect, to collect the belongings he had hidden there as they were inconvenient to carry with him before, bringing everything back into the sect.

Taking out a Dragon Blood Pill, Su Changkong swallowed it and began refining it. Dragon Blood Pills are high-tier Qi-Blood type Pill Medicines, valuable and only able to be produced by Alchemy Masters.

And Su Changkong had enough Dragon Blood Pills to reach the Qi Blood Twelve Transformation!

Refining the Dragon Blood Pills and reaching the Qi Blood Twelve Transformation was just a matter of time. Meanwhile, his main focus during this period was the Heaven Silkworm Technique.

In the Heaven Silkworm Cave, he had cultivated the Heaven Silkworm Technique to the 6th tier, and just by sheer hard practice, he could advance it to the 7th tier, with his talent.

Time passed second by second, and Su Changkong’s days went by quite peacefully, refining Dragon Blood Pills and practicing the Heaven Silkworm Technique every day, time flying by.

Three months later, Su Changkong completed one Blood Refining and stepped into the Qi Blood Eleven Transformation!

Another four months passed, and Su Changkong had consumed almost all of his Dragon Blood Pills, officially completing the twelve Blood Refinings!

“Rumble!”

In a spacious and quiet cultivation room, Su Changkong sat cross-legged. Above his head, a Furnace Phantasm spanning a zhang in radius appeared. Flames surged inside, exuding a torrential might, as if anyone facing it might be incinerated to ash.

The pinnacle of the Qi-Blood Realm, the Qi Blood Twelve Transformation complete!

“Crack crack crack!”

Su Changkong clenched his fists, sensing the brimming, endlessly flowing Qi and Blood within his body, he was extremely pleased!

At last, he had reached the pinnacle of the Qi-Blood Realm, the ultimate level that an ordinary martial artist could achieve.

Without Innate Qi, being trapped at the Qi-Blood Realm is all too common, much like Hong Zhenxiang, who was already at the peak of the Qi-Blood Realm in his youth.

Yet even after more than a decade, he remained in the Qi-Blood Realm.

Even Qian Rui and Wang Xinjian of the Spirit Taoist Sect, who came from a sect with several Innate Martial Artists and were talented, faced limited quantities of Innate Qi. With monks outnumbering porridge, this even led Wang Xinjian to harbor murderous intentions towards his own junior brother, believing that Qian Rui had a greater chance of obtaining the next strand of Innate Qi when it emerged!
