132: 132.
Threefold inner breath 132: 132.
Threefold inner breath Two corpses of Blood Swapping Warriors served as the most direct reference.
After contemplating, Xiao Cha made great harvests and saw her path clear ahead.
At this moment, a dull gunshot occasionally sounded in the field.
Looking up, she saw two Terminators firing additional shots, and a large flock of crows circling overhead, cawing strangely.
Xiao Cha stood up and said, “Let’s hurry back.
I need to break through!”
Lu Li smiled and nodded, “It seems you’ve gained a lot.
I’ll have Number 0 bring the car around.”
“Puppets are really convenient, aren’t they?
They can do everything for you.”
Xiao Cha was quite envious.
Not only were they powerful, but they also provided considerable help, making daily life much easier.
Number 0 quickly brought the car around, and Ah Da packed weapons and ammunition into a canvas bag, and they all rode back in the car.
Xiao Cha rolled down the window, looking at the riverbank now stained red, and said,
“With these people dead, does that mean Jinmen will be without opium or Ice Soul Powder?”
No sooner had she spoken than she laughed at herself, mocking her own naivety,
“How could that be…
the court still relies on opium for tax revenue, and the Governors need it to maintain their armies.”
Lu Li gazed out of the window, remaining silent.
The old era of Shen Zhou overlapped increasingly with Mexico as he knew it.
The same rampant drugs, the same worthless scum everywhere, with not a glint of hope in sight.
Lu Li glanced at the expanse of corpses they were leaving behind and whispered,
“Although it’s our first encounter, I’ll be taking your souls.
220 of them, and I’ll put them to good use.”
“What are you muttering about?” Xiao Cha looked over with sparkling beautiful eyes.
Lu Li put an arm around her fragrant shoulders, seriously saying,
“When are we going to live together?
I want to sleep with you.”
“Sleep with your big head, ghost!”
Xiao Cha, as expected, forgot the previous topic and pinched him on reflex.
Lu Li did not resist; after all, the girl wasn’t putting much strength into it.
After some frolicking, Xiao Cha leaned her head on Lu Li’s shoulder, mumbling,
“You’re so frivolous with me, and yet I’m not at all angry…
It seems I can’t escape from the palm of your hand, but I can’t let you deceive me easily either.
My mother said~ men don’t cherish what comes to them too easily~”
~~~~~~~~~
When they got home, it was not even 11 o’clock.
Wanqing was busy preparing lunch.
Seeing them return safe and sound put a sincerely joyful smile on her face:
“Just wait a moment, and the food will be ready.”
“What are we eating?” Xiao Cha peeked into the kitchen and said both pleased and approval,
“Hmm~ cabbage and pork stew with glass noodles, large white steamed buns, nice~”
Wanqing asked, “Did everything go well?”
Lu Li took the initiative to answer, “Very smoothly, and we also fulfilled what you asked of us.”
“Thank you, young master~” Wanqing pursed her lips with a smile, slowly performed a Wanfu Ceremony, then turned back to the kitchen.
Afterward, “Number 0” took some time to maintain the weapons before drawing water from the well to wash the car until it shined like new.
Lu Li was very satisfied and energized the two Puppets with his spirit.
With all this done, a basin full of cabbage and pork stew with glass noodles was served on the table, alongside a mountain of white steamed buns.
“I’ll start eating~”
Xiao Cha devoured the food like a whirlwind, swallowing 10 buns and half a basin of vegetables.
Then, grabbing a handful of donkey-hide gelatin, she chewed it thoroughly and said,
“I’m going to my room to break through, see you tomorrow~”
With that, she disappeared with a flicker.
The atmosphere turned somewhat quiet for a while until after a moment, Wanqing bit fiercely into a large white bun.
“This time there won’t be any problems.”
~~~~~~~~~~
Xiao Cha’s breakthrough was crucial.
All three of them tacitly maintained silence, speaking softly and gently, careful not to disturb even the slightest.
On the morning of the second day, Lu Li and Wanqing almost simultaneously arrived in the yard, quietly waiting.
After a while, Tong Shao came out, rubbing her eyes, and snuggled up in Wanqing’s arms.
Everyone waited together until 8 o’clock before they heard the sound of a door opening, and Xiao Cha came out, stretching and yawning.
“Ah~ I slept so well~”
She even greeted the three with a wave, “You’re all here.”
Lu Li laughed and said, “Looking at that smug expression, you must have had a breakthrough.”
Wanqing smiled, and Tong Shao nodded, saying,
“Her tail is practically up in the sky.
Show us a trick, newly promoted Marrow Cleansing Warrior~”
“Then watch carefully~”
Xiao Cha didn’t pretend anymore and went straight to the front of the car, placed her hands under the chassis, and lifted it with a grunt!
“What incredible strength!”
The car itself weighed over a ton and was loaded with weapons, ammunition, and battle armor, nearly two tons in weight.
Xiao Cha lifted it without much effort and even walked around the yard a few times.
“The Marrow Cleansing Realm has the strength of 6,000 pounds, known as the Power of One Elephant.”
She gently set the car down and clapped her hands, saying,
“But strength is secondary.
This realm uses inner breath to refine the bone marrow, drastically increasing the physical strength of the martial artist, and tripling the total amount of inner breath!”
Xiao Cha boasted proudly, “Now I can help you two break through!
Who wants to go first?”
Lu Li smiled and said, “Let Wanqing go first; she hasn’t had the experience yet.”
“Alright.
Come on~ Sister will take you to have some goodies~”
Xiao Cha picked up Princess Wanqing and went into the house.
Lu Li chewed on a piece of donkey-hide gelatin and practiced his martial arts in the yard, unhurriedly.
Before long, there was a delicate cry from the room, “It’s so hot…
so swollen!”
“Stop shouting, go and practice your boxing, absorb all the inner breath.”
Xiao Cha pushed Wanqing out, and Lu Li took the initiative to step forward.
Just as he was about to enter, the girl raised her hand, blocking the way, and said with a stern face,
“Let’s get one thing straight, okay?
We are cultivating, doing serious business; you’re not allowed to take liberties with me~”
Lu Li spoke seriously, “I’m not that kind of person.”
Xiao Cha still gave him a contemptuous look but then stepped aside to allow passage.
“Wanqing could only absorb 20% of my inner breath before she couldn’t take it anymore, so I’ll give you 60%.”
As Xiao Cha spoke, she embraced Lu Li in her arms, and he asked, “Aren’t you going to keep some for your own cultivation?”
“No rush.
The next realm is the Blood Exchange, which is about risking your life.
I’ll raise you guys up first~”
The two got into position, and Xiao Cha slowly transferred her inner breath.
Inhaling the virgin fragrance, Lu Li once again felt the sensation of Essence Qi surging through his entire body.
His cells instinctively craved this energy and immediately began to stir excitedly.
Xiao Cha had already undergone the Marrow Cleansing, making her inner breath hotter and more sweltering than before; it was indeed very hot and swollen.
No wonder Wanqing had cried out.
However, Lu Li had thick skin and could endure it.
He even idly licked with his tongue, tasting the sweetness, which immediately resulted in Xiao Cha grabbing his ear,
“Do you still want this or not!”
“Yes, yes, yes; I’ll stay still.”
“Hmph~”
Xiao Cha infused her inner breath at a very slow rate, like a trickle of water lasting three minutes, allowing Lu Li to fully absorb it.
Afterward, Lu Li felt as if there was a little furnace lit in his belly, hot and toasty.
He hurried to the yard, practicing the White Dragon Whip Skill with Wanqing, letting his body absorb as much inner breath as possible.
But the inner breath provided by Xiao Cha was too much; even after practicing the White Dragon Whip Skill three times, Lu Li still felt hot inside his body.
So he continued to practice until he suddenly felt an itch all over!
This itch seemed to come from deep in his bones, and scratching was of no use.
Just as he was about to ask Wanqing to check, Xiao Cha laughed,
“Hey~ This is a sign you’re approaching Bone Forging Mastery; endure it, and you can advance to Refining Internal Organs~”
