Chapter 65: Successful Marrow Replacement, Soaring Vital Energy

“How should 1 address the hero?”

“Shen Ying,” he replied.

After taking down the “Heroes’ List,” Shen Ying directly entered the yamen.

Outside the yamen, countless people looked at each other in astonishment.

“Who is Shen Ying? 1 haven’t heard of him.”

“That’s true; we haven’t heard of Shen Ying, but he dared to take down the ‘Heroes’ List. Regardless of his strength, his courage alone is worthy of admiration.”

“Yes, ever since the failure of the Seven Brothers of Yunshan, the One-Armed Hero, and others, no one dares to respond to the ‘Heroes’ List anymore. Let’s hope this Shen Ying has extraordinary abilities and can deal with the Big Desert Thirteen Riders.”

Many people discussed this, but most of them knew nothing about Shen Ying’s background.

However, Lu Changsheng knew.

“Shen Ying… How can it be him?” Lu Changsheng was also surprised.

Lu Changsheng had a brief encounter with Shen Ying, even conducting business with him.

In the incident involving the “Blood-Enhancing Pills” at the Xu family village, Lu Changsheng got to know Shen Ying.

Shen Ying was a native of the Shen family village in Taicang County and had a deep-seated hatred with the Venomous Sect.

In the past, the Venomous Sect had massacred over three hundred people in the Shen family village to refine the Venomous Elixir. Shen Ying was the sole survivor and had been pursuing the Venomous Sect ever since, seeking revenge.

However, the last time Lu Changsheng met Shen Ying, he had witnessed his abilities, which should have been limited to Refined Viscera Realm martial arts. Shen Ying hadn’t even reached the peak of the Refined Viscera Realm.

With such abilities, taking down the “Heroes’ List” would essentially be suicidal.

After all, the Seven Brothers of Yunshan and the One-Armed Hero, who were renowned for their martial skills, had taken down the “Heroes’ List and ended up dead.

“Since Shen Ying dared to take down the ‘Heroes’ List, he must have some backing or confidence,” Lu Changsheng pondered.

“Could he be using poison?” A possibility crossed Lu Changsheng’s mind.

Shen Ying had been chasing the Venomous Sect for many years and had extensive knowledge of poisons from his dealings with them.

If he used poison, it was indeed possible to deal with the Big Desert Thirteen Riders.

As for whether Shen Ying was motivated by the gold or Transcendence Realm martial arts, or if he was simply a heroic individual who wanted to eliminate the Big Desert Thirteen Riders, these were not the most critical factors.

The outcome was the most important.

Lu Changsheng sincerely hoped that Shen Ying would succeed in eliminating the Big Desert Thirteen Riders.

Time flew by, and more than ten days passed.

Lu Changsheng could clearly feel that the “marrow” within his bones had completely undergone replacement.

In other words, the “marrow replacement” had been successful!

Lu Changsheng’s thoughts moved, and his blood and energy instantly poured out of his body.

“By fifty percent! My blood and energy increased by a whopping fifty percent!”

“Just after a single marrow replacement…”

Lu Changsheng was deeply shocked.

His blood and energy had long surpassed the limit, even exceeding that of most Refined Viscera Realm martial artists by more than tenfold.

But now, his already formidable blood and energy had increased by a horrifying fifty percent.

“Marrow replacement and blood exchange is truly extraordinary.”

Lu Changsheng sighed with emotion.

Many martial artists aspired to undergo marrow replacement and blood exchange. Once achieved, not only could blood and energy break through their limits, but their physical qualities could also be significantly enhanced.

Lu Changsheng’s physical qualities were already exceptionally robust. Even martial artists with innate divine power, such as the “Dragging Blade Warlord” Li Ji, couldn’t compare to Lu Changsheng.

Lu Changsheng even felt that his physical qualities were bordering on being “superhuman.”

However, he still wasn’t in the Transcendence Realm.

What would a genuine Transcendence Realm be like, and how terrifying would it be?

Lu Changsheng now focused on his body.

He could clearly sense fresh blood constantly surging from his bone marrow.

The blood then flowed through his body, nourishing it continuously.

With this process, his physical qualities would keep improving over time.

Although the progress was slow, it was a positive cycle.

One could say that marrow replacement and blood exchange was a form of “metamorphosis,” gradually transforming towards another “life.”

“After marrow replacement and blood exchange, the next step is to break through the life-and-death threshold and advance to the Transcendence Realm.”

Lu Changsheng opened the Poison Sutra and the Mountain Ranges Overlapping Divine Strength.

Both martial arts had Transcendence Realm sections, even though he couldn’t practice them. Nevertheless, he could learn from them and cross-reference them with each other.

These two Transcendence Realm martial arts coincidentally mentioned one crucial point: to achieve the Transcendence Realm, the most critical factor was to break through the life-and-death threshold.

The life-and-death threshold was an abstract concept.

No one knew its specific location. It could only be sensed by martial artists, and it was usually located somewhere in the mind.

“In the mind?”

Lu Changsheng closed his eyes and began to carefully sense it.

But no matter how hard he tried to sense it, his mind remained empty, with no sign of the life-and-death threshold.

However, the Poison Sutra’s Transcendence Realm section included a method to help sense the life-and-death threshold.

According to the Poison Sutra, this method involved using a unique poison called “Illusion Poison.”

Once Illusion Poison was used, the person would be ensnared in an illusion.

By relying on the elements within the illusion, they would naturally sense the life-and-death threshold.

However, Lu Changsheng didn’t have Illusion Poison.

This poison was extremely rare, difficult to prepare, and considered a secret within the Venomous Sect. Obtaining it was virtually impossible for ordinary people.

This was the method described in the Poison Sutra.

The Mountain Ranges Overlapping Divine Strength also had a method for sensing the life-and-death threshold: “Focus the mind and connect the thoughts.”

This method involved creating a strong emotion, such as fulfilling a long-cherished desire, seeking vengeance against a long-standing enemy, or doing something profoundly exhilarating.

In essence, it required intense emotional fluctuations that would lead to the sensation of the life-and-death threshold, whether through extreme happiness or profound sadness..
