Supreme Temple - Chapter 3

By the time the medicinal power of the marrow cleansing pill was fully refined, it was already near noon the next day.

Lu Ming didn’t sleep all night, but he didn’t feel sleepy at all. Instead, he felt refreshed and full of strength.

A marrow cleansing pill made him completely transformed. His body was stronger than that of an ordinary young man, and his meridians were no longer blocked. He was full of resilience and vitality.

However, there were thick layers of dirt on his body, which were all impurities discharged. It was sticky and very uncomfortable.

With a thought, Lu Ming returned to the room.

He opened the door and walked out quietly. He found that Li Ping and Qiuyue were not there. They must have gone out to buy vegetables.

Lu Ming went to the well in the yard, drew water from the well to wash away the dirt on his body, changed into a set of clean clothes, and felt refreshed and comfortable physically and mentally.

At this time, Li Ping and Qiuyue also came back from outside. When they saw Lu Ming, they both stared at him in surprise.

Now, Lu Ming is full of energy, which is far different from his previous image of being weak and sick. No wonder they were surprised.

“Ming’er, is your injury better?” Li Ping looked at Lu Ming carefully and asked.

“Yes, Master, you seem to be a little different from before.” Qiuyue also asked with her big eyes blinking.

Lu Ming smiled and said, “Mom, I don’t know why, after being injured this time, I practiced the “Qi Gathering Gong” last night, and I actually cultivated a wisp of true qi, so my body is better.”

“What? Ming’er, you cultivated true qi?” Hearing this, Li Ping was ecstatic, tears rolled in her eyes, that was happiness.

Lu Ming did not tell Li Ping about the Supreme Temple, there are god-level exercises in it, if it is spread out, the three of them will be in great trouble.

But he swallowed the marrow cleansing pill, and his body changed. Without an explanation, Li Ping and the others would inevitably be surprised.

So, he revealed a little that he cultivated true qi.

“Ming’er, that’s great, that’s great.” Li Ping was excited and tears filled her eyes.

Although she had only cultivated the true qi, and was not even an ordinary warrior, let alone a blood warrior, she was still very happy, happy for Lu Ming.

“Master, you must protect Madam and me in the future.” Qiuyue also smiled happily.

Then, Li Ping and Qiuyue began to cook, and soon, the aroma was fragrant.

The three of them sat together happily to eat.

The dishes were simple, one meat and two vegetables.

“Ming’er, your injuries are not healed yet, you should eat more meat to replenish your qi and blood.” Li Ping kept putting meat into Lu Ming’s bowl.

“Mom, Qiuyue, you guys eat too.” Lu Ming said.

Since the news that Lu Ming’s father Lu Yuntian was killed, the lives of mother and son have been getting worse and worse in the past six years. The allowance given by the clan has become less and less, and they rarely have meat to eat.

Even if there is meat occasionally, Li Ping and Qiuyue will give it to Lu Ming, and Qiuyue is even more, when she is growing up, she can’t keep up with the nutrition, and looks a little thin.

Warriors need to consume a lot of energy to practice, and they are also relatively particular about what they eat.

The warriors of the Lu family who have awakened their bloodlines do not eat the meat of ordinary beasts, but the meat of monsters.

Even those with high talents, in addition to monster meat, also swallow dragon and tiger pills made from monster blood, bone powder, and various precious medicinal materials every day.

The dragon and tiger pills contain powerful essence, which can not only strengthen the muscles, bones, meridians, and internal organs of warriors, but can even be converted into true qi to help practice and improve cultivation.

Eating like Lu Ming is actually far from enough nutrition.

“Ming’er, you have already practiced true qi, and eating these meals is far from enough. Mother has eight dragon and tiger pills here, you can use them for practice.”

Li Ping carefully took out a bottle and handed it to Lu Ming.

Lu Ming was stunned. He didn’t expect Li Ping to take out eight Dragon Tiger Pills. He asked in confusion, “Mother, Dragon Tiger Pills cost one hundred taels of silver each. Where do you get that much silver?”

“Mother naturally has a way. I bought it for you to strengthen your body. It just so happens that you can practice true qi, so it’s just right for you to use.” Li Ping smiled.

“Sir, Madam sold the Dragon and Phoenix Bracelet to buy these eight Dragon Tiger Pills.” Qiuyue seemed a little bit unable to bear it and continued.

“Qiuyue!” Li Ping called softly, as if blaming Qiuyue for talking too much, and said, “Ming’er, you can practice with peace of mind. As long as you can practice true qi and strengthen your body, what does a Dragon and Phoenix Bracelet count for?”

“Mother…”

Lu Ming’s nose was a little sour, and he held the bottle of Dragon Tiger Pills tightly with both hands.

The Dragon and Phoenix Bracelet was a token of love that Lu Yuntian gave to Li Ping. Lu Ming knew how much Li Ping valued the Dragon and Phoenix Bracelet, but now for Lu Ming’s health, Li Ping sold the Dragon and Phoenix Bracelet.

“Mom, don’t worry, I will definitely become a strong man, use my power to protect you, and never let you suffer any grievances again.” Lu Ming swore secretly in his heart, his eyes were extremely firm.

After dinner, Lu Ming took the Dragon Tiger Pill and returned to the room and entered the Supreme Temple.

As soon as he entered the Supreme Temple, Lu Ming cast his eyes on the second platform above the ninety-nine steps.

Because there was also a box on the second platform, and it was bronze.

The first black iron box contained the first level of “War Dragon True Art”, “Flame Dragon Fist”, “Dragon Snake Step Method” and Marrow Cleansing Pill. What was in the second box?

Lu Ming was very curious and walked towards the stairs.

But when he walked to the ninety-ninth step and wanted to climb the second platform, he couldn’t climb up. There was an invisible force there, blocking him.

“Is it because my cultivation is not enough?” Lu Ming had no choice but to retreat.

Then he sat cross-legged, poured out a Dragon Tiger Pill, swallowed it into his mouth, and began to practice.

When Lu Ming swallowed the Dragon Tiger Pill, his spine suddenly felt hot, and a strong attraction was generated, absorbing all the medicinal power of the Dragon Tiger Pill. Then, pure energy surged out from his spine.

“So fast?” Lu Ming was shocked at first, and then ecstatic.

For an ordinary person, it would take at least a day to refine a Dragon Tiger Pill, but he completely refined it in an instant.

It was because of the blood that had not yet grown.

This bloodline that has not yet grown is really amazing. Not only does it absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth at a speed equivalent to that of a second-level bloodline, it also has the effect of quickly refining elixirs.

“Okay, let’s start impacting the meridians now.” Then, Lu Ming gathered his mind, operated the “True Art of Fighting Dragons”, and began to impact the first of the three “human meridians”.

The rolling energy was controlled by Lu Ming and rushed towards the first meridian.

Boom! Boom! …

There seemed to be bursts of roars in the body, and acupuncture points were opened one after another.

When the energy was not enough, Lu Ming swallowed another Dragon Tiger Pill.

In this way, when evening came, all eight Dragon Tiger Pills had been consumed, and Lu Ming also successfully opened up three “human meridians” with eight Dragon Tiger Pills.

The level of meridian opening is divided into early, middle, and late stages.

Opening up one to three human meridians is the early stage of meridian opening, and four to six earth meridians are the middle stage of meridian opening…

The meridian opening state is the foundation of a warrior and the easiest.

Of course, the difficulty varies from person to person. For ordinary bloodline warriors, it can take as short as one month or as long as one year to open up all nine meridians.

But for ordinary warriors, it is not necessarily the case. Some people may not be able to open up all nine meridians in their entire lives.

However, there are very few people like Lu Ming who opened up three meridians in one afternoon. If it were spread out, it would definitely make people stunned.

This is inseparable from the “War Dragon True Art” and the peculiar nature of the ungrown bloodline.

The War Dragon True Art is a god-level skill, and the ungrown bloodline can instantly refine elixirs, which is why such a miracle was achieved.

Feeling the War Dragon Qi in his body running through the three meridians, Lu Ming was full of joy and fighting spirit.

After dinner, Lu Ming hurriedly entered the Supreme Temple and began to practice.

Now, he plans to practice the martial arts “Flame Dragon Fist”.

Martial arts, the attack launched by the muscles and bones of the body driven by the true qi.

Different martial arts have different Qi circulation, muscle and bone circulation, so the effects of martial arts are also different, the resulting moves are also different, and the power is also very different.

Therefore, the control of Qi and the control of the body are very demanding. It is difficult to master a martial art without years of hard practice. The more advanced

the martial arts, the more difficult and complicated it is to control the Qi and the body, and of course the greater the power.

Lu Ming took a stance and began to practice.

Above, the sound of chanting in the palace continued to come out, making Lu Ming’s mind extremely clear. Some tricks about the “Flame Dragon Fist” kept flashing in his mind.

The Qi circulated and flowed into his feet, and then drove the bones and muscles of his feet.

“Hah!”

Lu Ming shouted softly, stepped forward with his feet, and the power flowed from his feet into his waist spine. The spine twisted, like a big dragon, and a stronger force flowed from his waist to his hands.

Boom!

Lu Ming punched out, and the power burst out, shaking the air with a roar.

“I’ve gotten a glimpse of the door!” Lu Ming’s eyes flashed with surprise.

The practice of martial arts is divided into six levels according to the different degrees of heat.

The first glimpse of the door, a small success, a thorough understanding, a perfect mastery, a superb skill, and the unity of man and martial arts.

The six levels are difficult to achieve in one go. The higher the level of the martial arts, the more difficult it is to improve.

Lu Ming did not expect that he could reach the first level, the first

glimpse of the door, when he first started to practice “Flame Dragon Fist”. This is a lower-grade yellow-level martial arts. If it is an ordinary person, it will be difficult to get the door without several months.

“The chanting in the palace is very helpful to my martial arts practice.”

Lu Ming looked at the palace deep in the stairs and thought to himself.

Lu Ming speculated that the important factor for his practice so quickly was the chanting, and his own understanding was probably not weak. Since it has such an effect, Lu Ming naturally practiced harder.

Without the Dragon Tiger Pill, Lu Ming’s speed of opening up the meridians was greatly reduced.

But three days later, he still opened up the fourth meridian and entered the middle stage of opening meridians.

And the “Flame Dragon Fist”

was cultivated to the second level, with a slight success.

However, after three days, the bloodline still did not grow out and was still in a slow growth.

With a slight smile, Lu Ming left the Supreme Temple and walked out of the door.

As soon as he walked out of the door, he saw Qiuyue coming back from outside with red eyes.

“Young Master, go and call Madam back. Madam has been kneeling in the Li family for several hours.” Qiuyue said in a crying voice.

“What? What’s going on? Let’s go.”

Lu Ming hurriedly walked outside with Qiuyue.

On the way, Qiuyue told Lu Ming the situation.

Since Li Ping knew that Lu Ming could practice true qi, she was very happy.

But practicing martial arts requires skills and martial arts, so Li Ping thought of the Lu family library to rent a few books on skills and martial arts for Lu Ming, but the elder guarding the Lu family library was the elder’s man, and sent Li Ping away with a sentence that Lu Ming was just a waste.

There was no other way. Li Ping found Lu Chuan and the great elders, and even knelt down to beg them, but they still didn’t give Li Ping even a copy of a mediocre martial art. With nowhere

else to go, Li Ping found the Li family, hoping to obtain some martial arts skills.

The Li family is a small family in Fenghuo City, Li Ping’s maternal family. Now, it is Li Ping’s eldest brother, Lu Ming’s uncle, who is in charge of the family.

But Lu Ming’s uncle refused Li Ping on the grounds that Lu Ming was a member of the Lu family and the Li family should not lend martial arts skills to outsiders.

Li Ping was really helpless and could only kneel in the lobby of the Li family, hoping to get a copy of martial arts skills.

“Damn it!”

Lu Ming roared in his heart, anger filling his chest.
