In the ruins.

Xun Xie walked slowly, looking around, looking left and right.

There are only collapsed houses for every family, and there are no living people, but there are chickens and dogs barking wildly. Presumably, they sensed the calamity and avoided it, animals were sharp after all.

A few survivors can be encountered sporadically.

Either injured, delirious, or ignorant of what happened last night.

After all, the fog was so thick to see anything.

Xun Xie climbed to a high place, looked around, and couldn't help sighing.

Greene Bird Square should be the most densely populated place in Blue Grain Town. Over a hundred houses were destroyed overnight.

If each household is counted according to three members, then the number of people killed last night is at least 300!

However, in this world, there is still the pursuit of having more children and more grandchildren. Except for those with physical problems, there is no problem of a low birthrate. So, it was equivalent to the similar period in his past world's history, without the added diseases, plagues, and sickness reaping souls left and right.

In other words, an ordinary family with three or five children, or even seven or eight children, is a common occurrence.

Not to mention those big families, it's not uncommon for a family to have several hundred members. Although he mostly made out houses of ordinary families, a few big ones were seen.

Xun Xie's mood became heavier, and he even panicked.

If that monster attacked the Song Mansion last night, then he might have ended up in a situation where he might have actually died. If he died again, would it be for good this time?

He had overworked himself in the days prior to drinking having not slept at all, plus the ‘strong’ drinks with many ingredients, he surmised that he had died and wasn’t just transmigrated suddenly whilst alive.

More and more people came to watch the spectacle.

However, they didn't all come to save people, they ran to the ruins to dig around and found valuable things that they took for themselves.

Even, in order to fight for the same thing, two people moved their hands and feet vigorously drawing blood.

In the end, it became a robbery.

Xun Xie didn't join in the fun, he turned around and left.

He might have had he not been rich, but his heart was heavy and it was risky to fight amongst so many. The pressing issue right now was to get some answers, was it really what he thought?

"There is a monster attacking Blue Grain Town, there will be a second time after the first." Xun Xie returned to Song Mansion wondering what he could do when that situation came.

Wait…

That thing wasn’t following him was it…?

Hope not, otherwise…Xun Xie suddenly shuddered.

When I saw Mr. Song again, his complexion was much better.

Mr. Song raised his head, saw Xun Xie's expression of hesitating to speak, and said with a smile, "You want to ask what happened last night, right?"

Xun Xie nodded, "Greene Bird Square was destroyed, and some people said they saw monsters."

Mr. Song's face was calm, and he didn't say a word about it. He only said: "Don't think too much, don't ask too much. There are some things that I'm not comfortable talking about, but you can rest assured that Blue Grain Town is safe."

How can this be called security? Xun Xie's eyes flashed.

Seeing this, Mr. Song smiled and said, "When Instructor Hu returns, you can ask him if he is willing to tell you."

Xun Xie was sent away like this. He hated this long-winded speech the most but what could he do…beat it out of him, even if he could he wouldn’t, he was his employer after all. And he wasn’t a capitalist either, it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say this job was helping him out. 2 taels not excluding clothes and shelter…and these weren’t ordinary clothes and shelter either, very luxurious and comfy, plus a personal maid and others to listen to him if he spoke.

Unlawfully taken from Royal Road, this story should be reported if seen on Amazon.

Such a Kush job, he was a fool to do anything to jeopardize it, although he was rich, easy come easy go, and his expenses were already very high, a nice trickle of 2 taels wasn’t bad, housing was the real red cherry.

As for why he didn’t get an answer…

No way, he just wrote well and got a little appreciation from Mr. Song.

Not someone close to him.

However, based on his understanding of Mr. Song, this person is still very strong. He said that Blue Grain Town is safe, so he should not be lying to him. Plus, he lived here too, even if it wasn’t there was the taller tree of Mr. Song to block the winds.

Besides, there's no need for that.

Mr. Song can't tell Xun Xie anything, and Xun Xie can't force it.

Xun Xie restrained his panic and gradually calmed down.

From this day on, Xun Xie practiced the ruling-spirit skill step by step, but he was more diligent than ever before.

A month later, Old Man Hu finally came back!

But Xun Xie was still disappointed.

The old man Hu, who was escorting the food back, still looked lazy. He often lay on a bamboo chair with four beautiful maids beside him. He didn't say a word about the tragedy in Greene Bird Square.

Someone asked him.

But Old Man Hu insisted that it was a natural disaster, and the gloomy wind blew people away.

However, such disasters only happen once in decades.

Seeing this situation, Xun Xie also gave up, and simply abandoned these miscellaneous thoughts and practiced martial arts with all his heart, day and night.

In the blink of an eye, another month has passed, and tender shoots have quietly grown on the willow branches, emerald, green.

when!

when!

The wheel spun, fortunately, he won a prize this time. Great Clarity was not that useful now even with a ten critical, he had learned all the moves and only calligraphy and painting was left and he was already quite good now.

Good news came however, he could now handle a full 50 year old chewing gum grass.

It was time to go train, Xun Xie got up and immediately prepared his last set of silver taels. He was a little obsessed with having the gold and silver in his hands right in front of him so he had delayed as long as possible and sold the old goin but it was about time now, his wealth was gone and only the windfall remained.

'How sad, they are just so...shiny'

It was like getting fresh uncrumpled bills straight from the bank or atm. Not small ones either but large denominations, spending them was a certainty but it almost felt like a waste. 'Breaking' a large bill into smaller ones.

He first went to Hu's house, received wax pills, and bought two taels of exotic animal meat.

Afterward, Xun Xie bought 4 taels of crocodile noodle fish meat and 4 taels of peppermint meat. As his body continued to develop, his appetite continued to grow.

Up to now, adding the chewing gum grass, he can eat a pound of exotic animal meat a day.

This peppermint meat is also good, and the price is comparable to crocodile noodle fish. It is a new product secretly sold by a senior brother in the yard.

Xun Xie scattered the purchase of exotic animal meat, trying not to attract attention.

First, eat the two taels of exotic animal meat bought from Old Man Hu, and practice four moves to refine and absorb.

At noon, he returned to the Song Mansion, borrowed the kitchen to fry the crocodile fish noodle meat and peppermint, and put it in an oil-paper bag.

Xun Xie ate four taels of crocodile noodle fish in one go and then practiced the exercises alone in the courtyard of the Song mansion.

Practice, practice...

As Xun Xie made a series of consecutive movements, roaring clearly, all of a sudden, his body seemed to be electrocuted, and a wonderful electric current ran through his body.

Xun Xie's body trembled and suddenly stopped in place.

In the body, the current was still rushing, and it took a long time to travel throughout.

"This is?" Xun Xie's heart was shocked, and then he was a little ecstatic, and he hastily moved his body again.

Five moves are done in one go.

Sure enough, the electric current emerged again, running wildly in the body.

But what the electric current brought him was not that kind of numbness, it was more like a shot of adrenaline, a refreshing stroke, indescribable.

"Blood energy, this is the blood energy Old Man Hu mentioned!"

Xun Xie took a deep breath and was overjoyed. After training for more than four months, he finally developed blood energy. It was not easy.

According to Old Man Hu, only those who practice the blood force can be regarded as the threshold to enter martial arts.

As soon as the blood force was born, Xun Xie obviously felt the difference, as if he had stepped onto a higher level of existence.

He fixed his eyes and saw without sunlight, a spider web revealed under the shade of the tree. This was something he could never have discovered before.

At the same time, Xun Xie clearly felt that his abdomen was suffocating, and the meat of the alien beast he ate was quickly digested.

"Becoming a blood force martial artist, my own digestion ability has been greatly enhanced, and with the added chewing gum grass, I'm afraid I won't be able to just eat a pound of exotic animal meat." Xun Xie was amazed and ate four taels of peppermint meat.

Seeing that it was still early, Xun Xie immediately went to the Hu residence to find old man Hu and tell him the situation. He was already pretty late by his standards so no need to hide his feet, he wanted the lower threshold of 100 days and that was already gone about two months ago.

"You, broke through?" Old Man Hu's expression changed, and he quickly dragged Xun Xie inside and entered a secret room.

It was dark in the secret room.

Xun Xie was waiting for Old Man Hu to light the lamp, but he heard Old Man Hu say, "Xun Xie, concentrate on guiding the blood in your body to your right hand."

Xun Xie still did as he did. Although the blood energy could not be seen or touched, he could really feel it and move according to his own thoughts.

A wave of blood flowed to the right hand.

Suddenly, a faint light appeared in the secret room, and the light source came from Xun Xie's right hand.

Xun Xie was stunned for a moment, then raised his right hand to look at it. His right hand faintly emitted a faint white light. The light was as blurry as water mist, and its brightness was not even as bright as a firefly.

"Hey, you have really cultivated blood energy." Seeing this, Old Man Hu's eyes lit up, and his face was full of smiles suddenly.

Xun Xie asked curiously, "Mr. Hu, what is this light?"

Old Man Hu continued: "After the alienation of the blood, the qi and blood are abnormally strong, and it escapes into the body, glowing like a candle. You have just been born with blood energy, the entry-level, and the qi and blood are relatively weak, so you can only see it in the dark."

After all, old man Hu suddenly glowed with red light, like a rising sun, dispelling the darkness.
