Lu Fan spent several days in Baihu City, observing the battles between martial artists and ghost cultivators. He had already determined that to reach the Innate Martial Artist Realm, he needed Blood Qi to complete his body refinement. Without it, he could not take the next step.

With this realization, he decided to visit the black market in search of a suitable martial art.

The Black Market Hunt

The black market was hidden beneath an abandoned temple on the outskirts of the city. It was a place filled with criminals, rogue cultivators, and merchants selling everything from forbidden techniques to human blood slaves. Lu Fan wore a long black coat and a mask to avoid recognition as he navigated the underground stalls.

Most of the martial arts manuals he found were either incomplete or too weak to be useful. However, after searching through a pile of dusty books, he discovered one that caught his interest—Blood Cauldron Art.

Upon reading the description, he realized it was not a standalone martial technique but rather a supplementary art practiced by blood slaves. The method allowed a practitioner to generate excessive Blood Qi, which was usually absorbed by their master to strengthen their cultivation.

Although designed for blood slaves, it was exactly what Lu Fan needed. Since his Thunder Body Forging Method lacked a Blood Qi component, this technique would fit perfectly, allowing him to balance his martial path. He handed over a few silver bars to the vendor, took the manual, and quickly left the black market.

Returning to his valley, he immediately began practicing.

Training in the Blood Cauldron Art

The Blood Cauldron Art functioned differently from other martial arts. It had no specific stages or techniques—its sole purpose was to refine the blood and produce an abundant amount of Blood Qi. Lu Fan incorporated this method into his routine, using it alongside his Thunder Body Forging Method.

At first, nothing unusual happened. His blood circulated more vigorously, and he could feel the heat spreading through his veins. However, after weeks of practice, he began experiencing an intense feeling of bloating—his body was accumulating more Blood Qi than it could handle.

Ordinarily, a martial artist would use this surplus to break into the Innate Realm, but Lu Fan held himself back. He wanted to see if the Blood Cauldron Art would change further.

Months passed, and his body continued to fill with Blood Qi, reaching its absolute limit. He felt as if his veins were on the verge of bursting, yet he endured the discomfort and pushed forward.

Then, something unexpected happened.

Blood Ignition – The Birth of the Blood Flame

One night, as he meditated, all the Blood Qi within him surged toward the void inside his heart, the same place where his electricity had been stored for years. The moment the two forces met, the Blood Qi ignited, setting off a chain reaction within his body.

It was like throwing gasoline onto a raging fire.

A blood-red flame burst forth in his heart, a fusion of Blood Qi and Thunder Energy. Unlike normal flames, this one pulsed with raw power, constantly shifting between crimson and blue as it absorbed both forces.

Lu Fan's body trembled as an immense wave of energy spread through him. The bloated sensation vanished as the excess Blood Qi was instantly consumed by the blood flame. For the first time, he felt that his cultivation was complete—his foundation was stable, his body reforged by lightning and blood.

Over the next several months, he continued refining this new phenomenon, stabilizing the blood flame and allowing it to grow stronger.

Then, on the sixth month, it happened.

Stepping into the Innate Realm

As he meditated, a mysterious force descended upon him—Spiritual Qi.

The moment the energy entered his body, the blood flame acted as a bridge, guiding the foreign power through his meridians. Lu Fan finally understood why Innate Martial Artists could create spiritual roots—the key was using Blood Qi as a foundation to refine and attract Spiritual Qi.

Now, he had a choice.

With the blood flame acting as a spiritual seed, he could use it to form a spiritual root, stepping onto the path of immortal cultivation. However, before making that decision, he needed to learn more about Innate Martial Arts and understand the implications of such a transformation.

Ending his seclusion, Lu Fan began preparing for his next journey, determined to uncover the mysteries of martial and immortal cultivation.
