Now that Lu Yu’s qi-blood had reached 17 points, he could clearly feel that his strength had been greatly increased, and the speed of his punches had been greatly increased.

After thinking for a while, Lu Yu understood the meaning of qi-blood. In this game, qi-blood should be the same as the battle strength in traditional games. It was a comprehensive reflection of the overall strength of the character.

The higher the qi-blood, the stronger the battle strength.

In this way, if he thought of a way to increase his qi-blood, he could increase his own strength.

Although he could use his experience points to increase his qi-blood, this was not the best choice because he could increase qi-blood when he was cultivating in AFK mode. Besides, leveling up the cultivation technique could also increase qi-blood.

The Fierce Tiger Fist Style required only 100 experience points to upgrade from the first level to the second level, and he could get 5 points of qi-blood bonus. Breaking through the realm only required 100 experience points, and he could get 2 points of qi-blood bonus.

Moreover, leveling from the second level to the third level required 500 experience points. By that time, his qi-blood would exceed 5 points.

Moreover, when the cultivation technique was upgraded, it could also increase one’s realm. This way, one could save another 200 experience points to increase one’s realm while still getting qi-blood bonus.

With this calculation, using the experience points to increase qi-blood directly was the least efficient way, followed by using experience points to increase one’s realm.

The most cost-effective method was to use experience points to level up the cultivation technique. The more qi-blood he gained, the more experience points he could save to increase their realms. He could also obtain new skills. It was simply killing three birds with one stone.

Lu Yu decided on the next small goal, to accumulate enough experience points to level up the Fierce Tiger Fist Style (second level).

He did not know if Yang Xiu was still shopping with Miss Han, but he did not appear in the martial arts practice field for the entire afternoon.

After an entire afternoon of cultivation, Lu Yu’s qi-blood had increased by one point, reaching 18 points.

After his qi-blood had increased, he ate a lot more during dinner. After eating six bowls of porridge, Lu Yu felt full. When he wanted to eat the seventh bowl, there was no more porridge in the bucket.

After eating, those who were on patrol duty went on patrol. Those who were not on patrol duty continued to cultivate at night, then took a bath and went to sleep.

It was the same for three consecutive days. Lu Yu had not seen Yang Xiu appear in the martial arts practice field after that. He had also become familiar with the inner court guard who was taking over his shift, so they could chat a little when they were changing shifts.

He knew that his name was Zhang Lun, and he seemed to be Butler Zhang’s nephew.

After the cultivation technique had been upgraded, Lu Yu could increase his qi-blood by two points every day. However, when his qi-blood broke through 20 points, the speed of the increase in his qi-blood began to slow down. He could only increase his qi-blood by 1.5 points every day.

Lu Yu walked on the dirt road that he patrolled every day while the other three patrolled on the other side. They did not want to have too much interaction with Lu Yu.

Over the past few days, Lu Yu realized that his performance seemed to be too outstanding. He was ostracized by others, and no one wanted to interact with him.

However, this was also good to him. Lu Yu was too lazy to talk to them. They were just a bunch of NPCs after all.

Suddenly, he wanted to pee. Lu Yu saw that the three of them were still far away, so he walked into the forest and peed under a big tree.

“Did you found what I said last time?”

A familiar voice sounded. Lu Yu subconsciously turned his head to look in the direction of the voice and saw a familiar figure in the forest.

“Isn’t that Yang Xiu? The person opposite seems to be Han Yu. What are they doing here?” Lu Yu showed a hint of confusion.

Lu Yu knew from the conversation with Zhang Lun that Miss Han’s name was Han Yu. As for the relationship between Han Yu and Yang Xiu, Zhang Lun did not want to say much. However, Lu Yu could hear from his tone that he probably liked Han Yu.

“The thing you mentioned, I found it in the study room when my father was not around. My father hid it in the secret room of the study room. However, there is a mechanism inside, so I can’t take it out. Otherwise, my father will definitely find out.”

Han Yu deliberately showed a troubled expression. Then, her expression changed, and she said in a relaxed manner, “However, if you are willing to marry me, I will definitely be able to persuade my father to give that thing to you.”

Hearing that, Yang Xiu remained silent and did not answer.

Seeing his attitude, Han Yu’s face was full of indignation. She shouted, “Why don’t you want to marry me? Why? Do you like other women?”

Yang Xiu quickly covered her mouth. “Shh! Be quiet. Don’t let others find out. It’s not good for your reputation.”

“Wu wu wu…”

The voices of the two became softer, so Lu Yu couldn’t hear them clearly. Not long after, he saw Han Yu rush out of the way. Her speed was much faster than Lu Yu’s.

Han Yu rushed out of the forest with tears in her eyes. Her back disappeared into the distance, and Yang Xiu also appeared on the road.

Lu Yu looked at Yang Xiu with a face full of surprise. When Yang Xiu saw Lu Yu standing by the wall, he was surprised as well. Yang Xiu was sure that Lu Yu did not see what had happened in the forest.

“Instructor Yang, why are you here?” Lu Yu asked.

He looked at Lu Yu. “It’s none of your business. Don’t ask.” With that, he turned around and left. In just a dozen seconds, Yang Xiu’s back disappeared on the road.

Lu Yu looked at Yang Xiu getting further away, and his expression returned to normal. Yang Xiu and Han Yu’s relationship did not seem to be that good. Moreover, Yang Xiu seemed to have his own motives.
