Xue Changhe took something out from his pocket.

This is not a printed book, but a thick stack of handwritten manuscripts, with messy handwriting that clearly shows they were written hastily.

"Senior Qiao established the Peach Blossom Villa, which is truly impressive. This is our Xue family’s inherited martial arts skill called ‘Blood Origin Skill’. Although it is not as powerful as the Qiao family’s techniques, it represents centuries of effort and accumulation by the Xue family members…"

The young man was shy and polite.

When Xue Changhe heard that Qiao Mu invited him to the Peach Blossom Villa again, he felt a tug at his heart. He didn’t want to go empty-handed and benefit from others’ skills for free, so he decided to copy his own martial arts skills to bring along.

He wrote this thick stack of manuscripts in a rush while on his way to Nan Province, stealing moments of free time to do so.

"Your family’s martial arts skills? You want to gift them to me?" Qiao Mu was surprised.

"Senior Qiao, there’s no need to worry. I am the current head of the family, so I have the final say in this matter," Xue Changhe declared confidently.

Qiao Pianxin was waiting idly for an opportunity, clearly preparing for a showdown with the Xuantian Sect, accumulating his strength and waiting for the right moment.

But it was a bit inappropriate for him to bring the martial arts manual at this time – it would have been more appropriate for him to visit Master Qiao Xin at Peach Blossom Villa instead of rushing to give it to a member of the Qiao family.

Studying this martial arts manual takes time, it’s not something that can be learned quickly like reading a comic book where you just flip through the pages.

Are you sure it’s a good idea to be distracted by delivering the manual right now?

Xue Changhe realized his actions were inappropriate, he was only thinking about maintaining proper etiquette by reciprocating gifts, without considering that Qiao Pianxin was preparing for battle at the moment, this was really not handled well…

"I’m sorry for my abrupt behavior…" Xue Changhe apologized.

"I should have taken this manual to Peach Blossom Villa instead of disturbing Senior Qiao here…"

He tucked that stack of manuscripts back into his arms, about to leave, but Qiao Mu stopped him with a wave of his hand.

"Don’t go, I enjoy this. Senior Qiao has no interests other than martial arts."

"With a big battle ahead, taking a break to read a book might be good."

He took the manuscript from Xue Changhe’s hands, sat on the floor directly, and started reading it right away.

However, after a quick look, he found that the Xue family martial arts did not quite match what he had imagined.

"’Blood Origin Skill’? Isn’t that the initiation technique of your Xue family?" asked Qiao Mu.

"Senior Qiao, you are not aware," replied Xue Changhe.

"Our Xue family indeed has a unique initiation technique called ‘Blood River Topping Skill’. It’s not that I am overly proud of it, but this technique cannot be practiced by outsiders. If Senior Qiao doubts, you can read it later…"

Xue Changhe’s voice gradually became lower.

"Xue family members cannot live beyond fifty years old. The source of this bloodline curse was laid by the inhuman beings from Dong Province Long Life Gate."

"Blood River Topping Skill cannot be achieved by anyone other than our Xue family members because this technique was custom-made by the inhuman beings of Long Life Gate for us, requiring the collection of Dong Province herbs and the creation of special blood element pills based on bloodline, physique, practiced techniques…"

"The inhuman beings from Long Life Gate gave you this secret technique?" Qiao Mu asked in astonishment.

Long Life Gate sets the lifespan limit for Xue family members and also bestows upon them a specific empowerment technique… What’s going on?

This matter may seem unbelievable in the martial world, but if it falls into inhuman hands, suddenly it becomes reasonable…

"I’ve heard that cultivators from Long Life Gate are considered peculiar among the Nine Immortal Gates. Many of them are focused on studying martial arts. Are they looking down on you, treating you like guinea pigs?"

Inhumans actually share the same origin as humans. But in this world, it’s never as simple as looking the same or having the same mindset within a group.

"As for this ‘Blood Origin Skill’… Xue Changhe didn’t want to discuss his family situation further, so he changed the subject to this martial arts technique, "

"People say that my Xue family has passed down internal strength through generations, especially me, Xue Changhe, who inherited over a thousand years of power at the young age of twenty. It feels like a stroke of luck from heaven, making me the biggest second generation ancestor in the martial arts world of Jiu Province."

"But empowering with this martial arts technique isn’t that simple, is it? If transferring power were that easy, before Martial Saint dominated the martial world, there were many prestigious families in Jiu Province. Could any of their ancestors have passed down their power to the next generation?"

Xue Changhe wasn’t discussing the heavy responsibilities of being the head of the Xue family, but rather discussing martial arts with Qiao Mu:

"Senior Qiao also knows that the internal strength we martial artists diligently accumulate is stored within our dantian and qi sea."

"Good." Qiao Mu thought to himself:

"In martial arts, from the 9th rank to the 4th rank, it is about accumulating internal strength. The dantian and qihai gradually expand with accumulation, and the martial artist’s physical body also gradually changes, becoming more sensitive in their five senses."

Hearing this, Qiao Mu also understood Xue Changhe’s meaning:

"You are only twenty years old this year, how can your dantian contain over a thousand years of internal strength? The approach developed by your Xue family is this ‘Blood Origin Skill’?"

Qiao Mu is 1635 years old this year, with over a thousand years of True strength in his dantian.

Even though he has truly been practicing martial arts for over a thousand years, it is all about slowly accumulating bit by bit, breaking through his physical body step by step.

Xue Changhe, on the other hand, is different.

Even if one practices martial arts from birth for twenty years, the dantian cannot contain so much internal strength. If someone with powerful senior skills were to pass on their power forcibly, it’s likely they would die on the spot.

"Senior Qiao’s gaze is sharp." Xue Changhe proudly said.

"People only know that my Xue family’s inner strength is unmatched and powerful. Before the appearance of Founding Emperor Yan, I was already ranked first on the Strength List in Jiu Province…"

As he was talking, he suddenly remembered that Qiao Pianxin was in front of him, and his confidence dropped a bit.

"But they do not know…if their own foundation is not strong enough, they cannot control the power of a thousand years. When passing on the power, they will explode and die."

"Our ‘Blood Origin Skill’ is a martial art passed down by generations of my Xue family before reaching the end of their lifespan, in order to continue the legacy of power."

"Senior Qiao, do you want to know why my dantian can contain the power of a thousand years?" Xue Changhe moved his hand and took out a small porcelain bottle.

Xue Changhe opened the bottle and showed Qiao Mu the inside. Though it was empty, there were dried blood residues on the inner wall of the small porcelain bottle.

This was a drop of blood gifted to Xue Changhe by his family’s Third Uncle before he left Southeast Province.

"Because our Xue family’s inner strength is not in the dantian, but in the blood." Xue Changhe’s expression was solemn as a mountain.

"The so-called ‘Blood Origin Skill’ is a method of refining blood derived from the continuous exploration of my Xue family’s ancestors."

"Inside my body flows the blood of my father and ancestors of my family, their strength and essence are always with me, this is the fresh legacy passed down for thousands of years by my Xue family."

Qiao Mu remained silent.

Although he often said that the bonds of the Qiao family members were connected by blood, he knew deep down that he was the only one left from the Qiao family.

And this Xue family of Xue Changhes is the true legacy that has been passed down for over a thousand years, spanning several dynasties of ancient martial arts families.

Before, there was the Blood River Topping Skill, which could pass down its power through generations.

After that, there was the Blood Origin Skill, which could let internal strength flow like a river in the body.

"Internal strength into the blood?" Qiao Mu marveled:

"But is this also the unique constitution of your Xue family?"

Although Qiao Mu was amazed, he actually had an idea in his mind.

This martial arts technique sounds amazing, but it is a special martial arts skill developed for Xue family members who cannot contain a huge amount of inner power in their dantian.

This doesn’t have much effect on Qiao Mu, but it’s good for expanding one’s horizons.

Because his dantian and qi sea have been accumulating for thousands of years, far exceeding the human body’s limits, he hasn’t encountered any problems with Xue family members.

"It’s not just about inner power entering the blood, it’s more than just ‘containing’," Xue Changhe said.

"If you can train until the inner power merges into the bone marrow, the strength can flow like a river in the bone marrow and blood, circulating endlessly on its own."

As Qiao Mu listened, he suddenly froze.

"Hold on, this ‘Blood Origin Skill’ of yours might not just be for solving the small dantian problems of Xue family members, right?"

"The generations of Xue family leaders inherit the inner power from their ancestors, which is vast and powerful. Their achievements in inner power can be considered at the forefront of martial arts in Jiu Province."

"But if the inner power is strong, and the body is only at the level of an average martial artist in their twenties or thirties… it would be like a giant with a limp leg. Not to mention it being difficult to develop one’s own strength, it might not live long."

"Senior Qiao has sharp eyes," Xue Changhe said.

"The Blood Origin Skill is a way for our Xue family members to strengthen their bodies," he explained.

At this point, Qiao Mu also understood.

The internal strength of the Xue family members is renowned in Jiu Province’s martial arts world, second only to the legendary Founding Emperor Yan.

However, many people tend to overlook that underneath their formidable internal strength, the Xue family members have strong bodies as well, not reaching the level of top experts but still impressive.

Without a strong body, it would be impossible to handle such profound internal strength accumulated over centuries.

After all, Qi and blood are not entirely separate from internal strength.

The beginning of martial arts is having the strength of five hundred kilograms, cultivating internal strength through strong Qi and blood.

The progression of internal strength from the 9th to 4th rank indicates a gradual increase in power, strengthening the martial artist’s body and sharpening their senses.

At this stage, it can be considered as nurturing the body with inner strength and nourishing the body in return.

Qiao Mu quickly flipped through the "Blood Origin Skill" book in his hand, already having an idea in his mind.

For Xue Changhe to inherit the position of family head at the age of 20, the most important factor is actually his rapid progress in the Blood Origin Skill, which has reached a profound level and formed a complete internal circulation within his body. It can be said that he has completed the lifetime journey of the previous family head by the age of 20.

"The ‘Blood Origin Skill’ of the Xue family is a method that infuses vast internal strength into the blood and bones, nurturing the body in return."

Inner strength, nurturing the body in return?

A thought crossed Qiao Mu’s mind.

Xue Changhe’s internal strength that has been cultivated for over a thousand years can strengthen his body to the extent that it can handle the power of a thousand years.

So, what about the True strength of his Qiao family member for over sixteen hundred years…? Is it different?

The transformation path of superb internal strength is a new trend that has emerged in recent decades.

The Xue family’s tradition is very ancient, perhaps because of this, there are no highly skilled people from outside who have mastered internal strength.

"Has anyone other than the Xue family practiced this ‘Blood Origin Skill’?" Qiao Mu asked.

This type of internal strength, deeply ingrained in the bone marrow, does differ somewhat from the martial arts practiced in contemporary martial world. He wondered if it was actually something that only Xue family members could master, just like the ‘Blood River Topping Skill’.

"What is Senior Qiao talking about?" Xue Changhe asked.

"The martial arts passed down through generations, regardless of whether outsiders can master them or not, how could previous family heads pass them on to outsiders?"

"Perhaps Senior Qiao is the first one."

Qiao Mu nodded in agreement, showing some interest.

…………………………………………….

In the distance.

Wang Songhe stood on the long street in front of the Taoist temple, watching Qiao Mu and Xue Changhe talking in the distance.

He understood the principle of not revealing secrets, even though he didn’t practice martial arts. When he heard them discussing martial arts, he quietly walked out.

"These two, are actually sitting here discussing martial arts at this time, just when there’s an important event happening. It doesn’t seem like they just killed a Nascent Soul Immortal and are waiting for the thunderous action of the Xuantian Sect," Wang Songhe sighed.

Despite his sigh, he had his own things to take care of by coming out at this moment.

With his strength, it was normal to have difficulties dealing with the Immortal Gate Xuantian Sect.

But now, what if a member of the Qiao family could make up for Wang Songhe’s own shortcomings in power?

"Perhaps there is great potential," Wang Songhe said with a deep gaze.

This plan didn’t go exactly as he thought, but it was a lucky break. He successfully escaped the control of the Immortal Gate, even if only temporarily…

"The Xuantian Sect didn’t activate the prohibition and directly kill me. It seems they can’t bear to lose a valuable plant like me that they have painstakingly cultivated."

Wang Songhe smiled bitterly:

"If we lose this battle, I will once again fall under the control of the Xuantian Sect."

"If we win, I’m afraid the Xuantian Sect will also ruthlessly abandon me, preferring to destroy me rather than let me escape their control…"

"Since that’s the case, it’s time to make arrangements for what comes next," Wang Songhe said quietly.

At this moment, he no longer hesitated, calling upon many generals from the Southern Army, including former comrades like the bandit Zhang Kui.

"Today, I have two pieces of news to share."

Wang Songhe spoke frankly:

"Qiao Jinyin is indeed a fraud in the martial world, not a member of the Qiao family. The new religion behind the Southern Army is also fake, just another name created by the Xuantian Sect immortals."

As soon as these words were spoken, the soldiers erupted into an uproar.

Before they could fully digest this news, Wang Songhe spoke again:

"Qiao Pianxin is a true master of martial arts from the Qiao family. Even though he can’t officially join our Southern Army, he shares our goal to defeat the Xuantian Sect of the Nan Province Immortal Gate…"

Wang Songhe stayed silent as he looked at the soldiers, watching their expressions change from shock to joyous celebration, completely stirred up.

Despite outward appearances, he felt empty inside and his expression was serious.

He also knew that attacking the stronghold and temples was not the end of their mission, but just the beginning.

The sacred sites had been directly destroyed, and the Xuantian Sect would not ignore this provocation. It was likely that things would escalate into all-out war…

However, he was aware that his own power was insufficient, and he couldn’t predict the future changes in the Nan Province situation.
