“If you still need to buy elixirs, honored guest, come to Lingyao Hall—everything is 10% off.” Helen Moore gave a smile and leaned closer to David Walker, her beauty stunning.

David Walker’s heart skipped a beat. He hurriedly cupped his fists in farewell and left in a rush, almost fleeing.

Watching David Walker leave, Helen Moore pouted slightly and said, “Interesting!”

“Miss, although this person was wearing a bamboo hat, he seemed pretty ordinary. What’s so interesting about him?” the maid beside her asked curiously.

Helen Moore smiled and said, “Little Eve, didn’t you notice? Just now, he deliberately lowered his voice to pretend to be a middle-aged man, but he’s actually just a youth. In Fenghuo City, there aren’t many young people who can easily take out ten thousand taels of silver.”

“Also, my bloodline gives me extremely strong perception. I sensed that his bloodline is very strange, as if it contains powerful strength, but it’s incomplete, as if it’s still growing. So, isn’t that interesting?”

“Miss, now that you say it, it really is interesting!” The maid blinked her eyes and said.

“Little Eve, if this person comes again next time, you must let me know!” A curious light flashed in Helen Moore’s eyes.

Chapter 7: Rapid Progress

After leaving the market and returning home, David Walker couldn’t wait to enter the Supreme Divine Hall and open one of the sandalwood boxes.

Inside, thirty Longhu Pills were neatly arranged.

These were grade-one low-tier Longhu Pills, which should be enough to break through the seventh to ninth meridians. The grade-one mid-tier Longhu Pills, David Walker planned to use for breaking through the three divine meridians.

He took out a Longhu Pill and swallowed it.

After swallowing the Longhu Pill, his spine felt hot, and a faint red light flashed out. A powerful attraction arose, absorbing all the medicinal power of the Longhu Pill. Then, streams of pure energy surged from his spine.

“What exactly is my bloodline? The speed at which I refine these pills is truly terrifying!”

David Walker’s heart stirred. He then controlled the energy within his body, letting it flow through the already opened meridians, transforming into thin dragon-shaped true qi, and finally charging toward the seventh meridian.

The dragon-shaped true qi was incomparably sharp and unstoppable. Soon, a major acupoint in the seventh meridian was broken through.

Next, unstoppable, one major acupoint after another was opened.

Whenever his true qi was insufficient, David Walker would swallow another Longhu Pill, convert it into true qi, and continue the assault.

The seventh to ninth meridians were known as the Heavenly Meridians, and of course, they weren’t as easy to open as the previous ones.

Two days passed in a row. David Walker refined twenty-four Longhu Pills in succession before finally opening all three Heavenly Meridians.

David Walker’s cultivation also soared to the peak of the late Tongmai stage.

At this point, he could actually start condensing a qi cyclone in his dantian and break through to the Warrior Realm.

But of course, David Walker wouldn’t do that. His goal was to open the three divine meridians before breaking through to the Warrior Realm.

However, opening the divine meridians was not so easy—it was extremely difficult. David Walker didn’t rush to attack the divine meridians. Instead, he swallowed the remaining six grade-one low-tier Longhu Pills, converting them all into true qi.

A day later, the true qi in David Walker’s body became even more condensed and substantial. Only then did he begin to attack the divine meridians.

He picked up a grade-one mid-tier Longhu Pill and swallowed it. As before, it was absorbed and refined by the bloodline at his spine, and a surge of energy several times stronger than the low-tier Longhu Pill flooded into David Walker’s body.

As expected of a grade-one mid-tier pill.

David Walker activated the “True Art of the Battle Dragon,” circulated his true qi, and began to attack the first divine meridian.

Boom!

David Walker felt his whole body tremble and go numb, but the first major acupoint of the first divine meridian still didn’t open.

David Walker wasn’t discouraged. He continued to build up strength and kept attacking.

Boom! Boom!...

After seven consecutive attempts, the first major acupoint of the first divine meridian was finally broken through, and a torrent of true qi poured into the first major acupoint of the first meridian.

On David Walker’s body, one point of light after another lit up—each one an opened acupoint. There were eighty-one in total, and now the eighty-second point of light also shone, even more dazzling than the previous eighty-one.

“Just breaking through one acupoint, and I can already feel my true qi becoming more robust. Continue.”

David Walker kept attacking.

But a divine meridian is a divine meridian—the energy consumption was terrifying.

Three days passed in a row, and all thirty-six grade-one mid-tier pills were used up before he finally opened all nine major acupoints of the first divine meridian.

“What incredible power. Now, just the explosive force of my pure true qi must be about 1,500 jin!”

A look of delight flashed in David Walker’s eyes.

Previously, at the peak of the mid-Tongmai stage, he could barely unleash a force of 1,000 jin with the help of the Flame Dragon Fist. Without the boost from the Flame Dragon Fist, the explosive force of his pure true qi should have been around seven or eight hundred jin.

Now, it had doubled.

An average martial artist at the peak of the late Tongmai stage should have an explosive true qi force of about 1,000 jin.

And after condensing a qi cyclone and breaking through to the first level of the Warrior Realm, the explosive force of true qi could rise to 2,000 jin.

Two thousand jin is the strength of one ox.
