Chapter Nine, Tiger Blood Inner Strength

Gao Tai was very familiar with him and immediately noticed the changes in him. Thinking of the Blood of the Heart of the Fierce Tiger taken by Gao Cheng, he couldn't help but feel a secret joy in his heart. "Young Master, have you mastered the first level of the Standing Practice? Hmm, that makes sense. The Blood of the Heart of the Fierce Tiger is the essence of the entire tiger and is the main ingredient of the Tiger Bone Blood Supplement Soup."

Zhang Chen and Wan Ju received their orders and, accompanied by the remaining five individuals, began to cut up the body of the fierce tiger, starting the process of material decomposition. While everyone was busy, Gao Cheng arrived nearby carrying a water pouch.

I currently only have tiger bone and tiger blood, without any prescription or other materials, making it impossible to prepare the tiger bone blood tonic. There is no other option; in order to accelerate my cultivation speed, I can only swallow it directly while the tiger blood is still warm

Gao Cheng said: "I have not practiced archery for long; this time it was merely luck. If I encounter danger again, I may not be able to maintain my current state. Uncle Gao, you take everyone and quickly harvest the materials from this fierce tiger. We must leave here as soon as possible"

Everyone immediately responded, each person carrying dozens of pounds of tiger meat on their backs. All were strong and robust, and in addition to the tiger meat, they were also holding the game shot by Gao Cheng.

Gao Cheng cast his gaze over the distant woods, then turned to see that everyone was ready. He immediately waved his hand and said in a deep voice, "Alright, everyone, let's set off quickly and return to the main road to meet with Wu Dubo and the others"

Subsequently, Gao Cheng arrived beside the corpse of the soldier who had been killed by a fierce tiger. Looking at the young man lying on the ground with unclosed eyes, he let out a slight sigh. He remembered that this person was named Wang Shan, who had been very diligent and earnest during training just a couple of days ago. Who would have thought that as the army had just broken camp, he would meet with such misfortune

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately felt invigorated and couldn't help but reveal a hint of a smile. They had never tasted the flavor of tiger meat since their birth.

Gao Cheng's body had sustained numerous hidden injuries during his practice of swordsmanship, as he had no renowned master to guide him. Although these minor injuries did not have a significant impact at the time, they accumulated over the years. When he grew older, these accumulated hidden injuries would erupt all at once, instantly destroying his physique

In this moment, Gao Cheng felt as if his entire body was immersed in warm water. Gurgle! His stomach churned, rapidly digesting the tiger's blood within him. This blood was the essence of the entire tiger, a powerful tonic. After the tiger's blood was digested, it transformed into a vast energy of vital force, circulating throughout his body according to the first posture of the Linzhuang Gong.

Zhang Chen coughed twice, pressing on his injured chest, and laughed, saying: "We must thank Young Master Gao for his divine arrow. It was Young Master who shot the fierce tiger in the eye, severely wounding this beast, allowing us to take advantage of this opportunity!"

After burying Wang Shan's body, Gao Tai noticed that the crowd's spirits were low. With a thought, he feigned excitement and said: "This time, we all worked together to kill this beast. I estimate we can get several hundred pounds of tiger meat. If we take it back, just the tiger meat alone will be enough for everyone to eat for over ten days!"

After the battle with the fierce tiger and witnessing bloodshed, the youthful naivety of the crowd diminished significantly, and their expressions took on a sharper edge. Gao Cheng had just stepped into the first layer of the Lingzhuang skill, his strength greatly enhanced, and as he walked, a faint wind seemed to follow him. Holding a longbow, his eyes sparkled like lightning as he scanned the thickets ahead, on guard against any sudden beast attacks

"Young Master, we have already tidied up!" Gao Tai walked over and said

Having witnessed Gao Cheng's archery skills, I was immediately convinced and impressed

Let Wang Shan be laid to rest first! Gao Cheng said

At this moment, when Gao Cheng was operating the first diagram of the Linzhuang technique, the tiger blood within him transformed into a vast energy of vital essence, resembling the heavenly dew. These hidden injuries were like parched land on the verge of drying up, beginning to thirstily absorb the dew, and some subtle hidden injuries started to heal

Wan Ju nodded repeatedly, his eyes revealing a look of admiration. He had originally thought that Gao Cheng, the young master from a prominent family, had little strength; even if he were to become a soldier under the other party, it would merely be to make a living. He had never considered the possibility of serving him loyally.

Is this the inner strength of the first level of training! The vital energy transformed from the blood of a fierce tiger has directly healed all my hidden injuries, allowing me to master the first movement of the stance training.

After a little more than half an hour, the vitality transformed from the tiger's blood was finally exhausted. Gao Cheng took the opportunity to withdraw his actions. At this moment, Gao Tai and Zhang Chen had already finished cutting up the body of the fierce tiger. In the distance of the forest, it seemed that a wild beast was approaching this way.

Tiger Bone Blood Supplement Soup, in the early stages of body refining for martial artists, can quickly replenish the vital energy and blood of the warriors, making it extremely precious. The young masters from the noble families in Guangling County can achieve twice the result with half the effort when consuming this soup during their training, significantly accelerating their progress. The hot blood from the heart of a fierce tiger is the primary ingredient of the Tiger Bone Blood Supplement Soup

He opened the water pouch, and a strong, bloody scent wafted out from within. This tiger had just died, and the blood that flowed out still retained a hint of warmth

Wan Ju and Gao Tai walked over and, upon seeing Wang Shan's corpse, let out a sigh. However, in this chaotic era, no one could guarantee their own safety; Wang Shan merely departed a step earlier.

Gao Tai's expression turned serious as he immediately said: "Indeed, there are many wild beasts in the jungle, and the scent of this tiger's corpse will soon disperse, attracting ferocious animals. Zhang Wuchang, Wan Wuchang, hurry and act according to the young master's instructions"

A pouch of tiger's blood is equivalent to half a portion of blood replenishing soup. Young master, with such exceptional talent, it is not surprising to achieve such progress

Gao Cheng furrowed his brow slightly, then brought the water pouch filled with warm tiger blood to his lips and took a large gulp. The rich metallic scent filled his lungs, making him feel utterly uncomfortable.

Gao Cheng reminisced about his past memories. Although the Gao family of Guangling was not of high status, it was still a member of the gentry. During his youth in Guangling County, he became acquainted with many young scions of noble families and had heard some information regarding cultivation.

In this brief period, his strength has increased by one-tenth compared to before. The first level of training focuses on strengthening the body, emphasizing the nurturing of one's physique. It cultivates the foundation for a warrior's training, while the second level of training, the vitality realm, enhances the warrior's muscles on the basis of a strong physique, rapidly increasing strength

Gulu! With the tiger's blood entering his belly, Gao Cheng forcefully suppressed the fishy taste that surged back. As he stumbled, he assumed the first posture of the standing meditation, just like last time. After he struck the pose, the energy and blood within him gradually began to warm up, and soon the heat of his energy and blood filled his entire body, starting to nourish the muscles and skin all over.

Gao Cheng moved his hands and feet slightly, carefully sensing his physical condition, which was better than ever before. The muscles in his hands and feet felt a subtle warmth, quietly enhancing his physical strength.

Gao Cheng, with the nourishment of tiger blood, has finally stepped into the realm of body refinement and reached the first level of the ninth layer of strength training. However, his foundation is still somewhat unstable, and he needs a few days to continue practicing the first diagram of the standing posture technique to solidify himself

The other few individuals had only known Wang Shan for two or three days and did not have a deep relationship with him. However, upon witnessing his tragic death, they could not help but feel a sense of sorrow akin to that of a rabbit mourning a fox. Following Gao Cheng's instructions, they dug a simple grave for Wang Shan in a nearby open area.

Due to the concern of a fierce beast pursuing them, the group moved swiftly through the jungle, and in less than the time it takes to burn a stick of incense, the nine of them returned to a relatively spacious avenue
