I Can See Through Everything

Chapter 51

"Master, what do you mean?" Lu Qing asked.

"Your body has always been somewhat weak. To step into the Qi and Blood Realm, you must first replenish your foundation."

"Normally, taking the Blood Replenishing and Qi-boosting Pill would achieve this effect, but that would be somewhat wasteful."

"So, your timing with catching this Golden Loach is perfect. With it, I can make a medicinal soup that will replenish your deficiencies."

"But Master, I intended to share the Golden Loach with you," Lu Qing said hesitantly.

"Just let me have a bowl of the soup; no need to be so formal."

The old doctor wasted no time and took the Golden Loach into the kitchen.

Lu Qing followed, watching as the old doctor skillfully prepared the fish.

He removed only the innards, keeping even the blood, and placed everything into an earthen pot.

Then the old doctor added some medicinal herbs and began to stew the mixture.

The cooking took an entire hour.

The aroma of the nourishing soup soon filled the house, making Lu Qing and Xiao Yan's mouths water.

"It's ready."

The old doctor extinguished the fire, let the pot cool slightly, and brought it to the table.

As the lid was lifted, a rich fragrance wafted out, making Lu Qing and his sister salivate even more.

Even the old doctor couldn't help but praise, "It's truly one of the ten rare delicacies."

He took out three bowls, two large and one small.

First, he served two bowls of soup.

Then he pushed the remaining pot towards Lu Qing.

"Xiao Yan is still young and can't handle much medicinal power. A small bowl is enough for her. As for me, a taste will suffice. The rest is for you."

"Master..." Lu Qing hesitated.

"Don't dawdle. Remember, you must consume everything, including the residue."

Seeing his master's stern expression, Lu Qing could only take the pot and pour himself a bowl of soup.

The three of them began to drink the soup.

Lu Qing took a sip and felt an indescribable freshness spread from his tongue, making his whole body feel like it was opening up.

Across from him, Xiao Yan was also drinking happily, her eyes narrowing with delight.

The old doctor savored a sip of soup, tasting it carefully before swallowing.

He sighed, "No wonder the wealthy are willing to pay a fortune for these rare fish."

"Brother, this fish soup is delicious!" Xiao Yan exclaimed joyfully.

Following his master's instructions, Lu Qing drank bowl after bowl. Before long, he had finished half the pot, including the residue.

After finishing the soup, Lu Qing sat for a while before feeling his whole body heat up, and a surge of warmth rose from his dantian.

Seeing his state, the old doctor smiled, "Good, the medicinal power of the soup has begun to take effect. Now go outside and practice the Health Nourishing Boxing to fully absorb the medicine."

Hearing this, Lu Qing hurried outside, unable to sit still from the heat building inside him.

In the courtyard, he calmed his mind and began to perform the nine forms of Health Nourishing Boxing.

The old doctor followed him outside, nodding approvingly as he watched Lu Qing quickly enter a state of concentration.

His disciple was indeed a martial arts genius, quickly entering a state of cultivation even under the effects of the medicinal power.

In the courtyard, the initially uncomfortable heat from the medicinal soup began to calm as Lu Qing practiced his boxing forms.

Thoughts about the Health Nourishing Boxing flowed through his mind, and a sense of enlightenment arose within him.

Instinctively, he started to guide the medicinal power inside him using the boxing forms.

Health Nourishing Boxing was the culmination of the old doctor's lifelong research, perfected from a fragmented martial art he had obtained in his youth.

It encapsulated his decades of medical experience, understanding the body's qi, blood, muscles, bones, and internal organs.

It had remarkable effects on nurturing the body and improving health.

The Health Nourishing Boxing consisted of thirty-six forms, with the first nine forming a cohesive set that worked in harmony.

Practicing these forms could nurture qi and blood, regulate breathing, and was an excellent method for cultivating qi and blood.

Immersed in his practice, Lu Qing repeatedly performed the first nine forms of the Health Nourishing Boxing.

With each movement, the medicinal power from the nourishing soup gathered like homing birds, quickly being absorbed into his qi and blood, enhancing his vitality and strengthening his body's foundation.

Lost in his practice, Lu Qing was unaware of the passage of time.

Suddenly, he felt a tremor throughout his body.

His qi and blood seemed to break through a barrier, flowing freely throughout his body, perfectly controlled.

Feeling a surge of enlightenment, Lu Qing began to slow down and finally stopped, closing his eyes to quietly sense the changes within his body.

"Good, the qi and blood are connected, circulating throughout the body. You've finally stepped into the Qi and Blood Realm!"

The old doctor exclaimed in admiration as he watched.

After a while, Lu Qing opened his eyes.

He felt light and powerful, with an enhanced control over his body.

He extended his palm, and with a thought, a burst of blood qi condensed in his hand, making his palm turn red, almost dripping with blood.

As his thoughts dissipated, the blood qi disappeared, and his palm returned to normal.

"The Qi and Blood Realm allows a martial artist to control their qi and blood, purifying the body and enhancing strength."

"With a thought, the qi and blood connect throughout the body, capable of unleashing tremendous power and significantly increasing defense."

"That's why even a few ordinary strongmen can't match a martial artist in the Qi and Blood Realm."

"Whether in explosive power or defense, the gap is too vast to overcome."

Feeling the various changes in his body, Lu Qing gained a deeper understanding.

No wonder his master said that a martial artist in the Qi and Blood Realm could easily throw off several strong men.

Compared to ordinary people, the explosive power of a Qi and Blood Realm martial artist was indeed extraordinary.

"How do you feel after stepping into the Qi and Blood Realm?" the old doctor asked, approaching.

"I feel great," Lu Qing replied joyfully. "Master, no wonder you say martial artists are powerful. I've just entered the Qi and Blood Realm and already feel much stronger. I can't imagine how powerful higher-level martial artists must be."

"With your aptitude, reaching those levels is only a matter of time."

The old doctor had great confidence in Lu Qing's martial arts potential.

After all, how many could step into the Qi and Blood Realm from a frail youth in just a few days?

Lu Qing's martial arts talent was no less than the prodigies the old doctor had heard of in his travels.

"Lu Qing, now that you've stepped into the Qi and Blood Realm and become a true martial artist, there are some things you need to understand."

The old doctor's expression suddenly turned serious.

"Please tell me, Master," Lu Qing responded respectfully, feeling a sense of urgency.

"There's something you must know. In the martial arts world, the methods are divided into training techniques and combat techniques..."
