High-Martial World: System Arrives 30 Years Late-Chapter 50: Connecting Heart and Lungs, Breathing Technique Enhanced!

Chapter 50: Chapter 50: Connecting Heart and Lungs, Breathing Technique Enhanced!
"There’s no feast that doesn’t end. I’ve taught you all I can. Next, Director Hu will take over your training."
"Meeting is fate."
Su Mu took out several bottles of Qi Blood Pills, as well as five Tier Two Blood Fruits, which were the last five from the Alien Race Battlefield.
"These are Tier Two Blood Fruits, a type of Spirit Fruit that is easily absorbable and won’t harm your Martial Arts potential. Each of you take one."
"The bottles contain Qi Blood Pills which I no longer need. Take one each day during cultivation."
The five wanted to ask him to stay, but Su Mu’s decision was not easily changed. Finally, the five reluctantly stepped forward and embraced him.
"Teacher Su, we will definitely strive to get into the Martial Arts University."
"I will work doubly hard and won’t let you down, Teacher Su, for your training over this period."
"Good, I await the good news of your Martial Arts exams next year. May your Martial Arts flourish!"
Su Mu picked up the Sword Box, waved goodbye, and turned to leave Jiuzhong Middle School.
...
After leaving the school, Su Mu stretched a bit. The Qi and Blood in his body were already restless, the second Qi Blood Bridge was eager to resonate and connect with his viscera.
Su Mu chose to connect the second bridge to one of the Five Viscera — the lungs.
Among the Five Viscera, the heart governs blood, significantly enhancing Qi Blood for a Martial Artist.
The lungs govern Qi, significantly enhancing the Breathing Technique, and can accelerate cultivation speed. It is the first choice for the second bridge of a Fourth Level Martial Artist.
The reason Su Mu didn’t choose to break through at school was to avoid being confronted by Lu Xue and her husband, and also because there was a better venue for the breakthrough.
The Linjiang Base Martial Arts Association.
Su Mu took out an honorary member badge, "I would like to request a Cultivation Room."
"Mr. Su, please follow me." The slightly sleepy association staff member perked up upon seeing the honorary badge and quickly completed the procedures.
"Mr. Su, you can freely use the Spirit Gathering Inscription Array in the Cultivation Room."
"Alright, thank you for letting me know."
After activating the Spirit Gathering Inscription, Su Mu took out a bottle of Third Level Blood Sinking Pill and swallowed one. This time, unlike his previous breakthrough on the battlefield, Su Mu was safe and had ample time, so there was no need to ingest an excessive amount of elixirs in a short time.
The elixir dissolved into a surge of pure Qi Blood Power upon entering his mouth.
Su Mu cleared his mind and activated the Breathing Technique.
His Qi and Blood converged on the second bridge, extending a final segment toward the lungs. The moment the bridge touched the lungs, resonance began.
This time, Su Mu entered a state of introspection, carefully observing the breakthrough process. With each breath, the double-helix bridge and his lungs resonated.
A sudden, piercing pain emerged.
Su Mu gritted his teeth, controlling the flow of Qi and Blood throughout his body, continually channeling it to the second bridge.
Buzz!
It was unclear how much time elapsed when a stream of energy emerged between his lungs and the second bridge. Instantly, Su Mu felt his Breathing Technique reaching a new realm.
At this moment, the heart in his chest pumped like an engine, while his lungs transformed into two powerful turbochargers.
Thus, the efficiency of the Breathing Technique in absorbing Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi and converting it into Qi and Blood was immensely elevated.
Once the bridge fully connected with his lungs, the Qi and Blood within Su Mu surged, and his aura steadily rose.
After a long while, Su Mu exhaled a breath of hot air, which coalesced and extended to about half a meter.
Without pausing, Su Mu shifted back into a cultivation state.
Soon, he reopened his eyes, a look of ecstasy on his face.
"The efficiency of the Breathing Technique’s cultivation has increased by at least 30%!"
With the heart and lungs now awakened, only the liver, spleen, and kidneys remained.
The liver governs dispersion and can store blood, significantly enhancing control over Qi and blood after being connected, and improving digestion to some extent.
The spleen governs transformation, being the source of Qi and blood post-birth, thus known as the foundation acquired after birth. Upon connection, it significantly improves the digestion and absorption of food, elixirs, and spirit fruits containing Qi and blood, and also enhances Qi and blood control to some extent.
The kidneys store essence and are closely linked to the growth and development of the flesh, governing metabolism. As the innate basis, connection significantly enhances a Martial Artist’s energy, endurance, and sustained combat capability.
"Both of my mastery of sword techniques aim for explosive force, so leave the kidneys for last."
"The liver and spleen complement each other. Right now, I have plenty of elixirs, so I’ll first connect the spleen, followed by the liver."
...
After the top management of Jiuzhong Middle School finished their meeting, Lu Xue and Hu Yun arrived at the basketball court, only to find no trace of Su Mu.
"Where is Teacher Su?"
The five of them recounted Su Mu’s departure. Hu Yun looked anxious and wanted Lu Xue to call their old classmate.
Lu Xue shook her head and pulled Hu Yun aside.
"Since Su Mu left directly, unless it’s an emergency, it means he doesn’t want us to look for him again. He agreed to come to the Training Camp in the first place just because he and Miaomiao are old classmates."
"He doesn’t have the obligation to continue helping us."
Upon hearing these words, Hu Yun suddenly came to his senses, beads of cold sweat dotting his forehead.
"Xue’Er, you’re right. I was impulsive. The fact that Su Mu agreed to come to the Training Camp and even brought out Hua Song and the other four has already been a huge help to me."
"Xue’Er, you should give Teacher Jiang a call, saying that we want to invite their family for a meal and we’ll bring some gifts then."
...
Meanwhile.
After confirming that there were no surveillance cameras in the Cultivation Room, Su Mu infused a trace of blood energy into the ring on his hand.
The next second.
A small pile of cubes appeared before him. These were the Pandora’s Boxes Su Mu had accumulated over these days, totaling thirty-three.
He planned to open them all at once to fully enjoy the thrill!
The Pandora’s Boxes required the same amount of Spirit Stones daily, so Su Mu divided them into three batches: one Spirit Stone tier, ten Spirit Stone tier, and hundred Spirit Stone tier.
This time he planned to use all Middle Grade Spirit Stones to open them, and thirty-three boxes would only consume 1,221 Middle Grade Spirit Stones, costing just over twelve thousand Low-grade Spirit Stones.
Let’s start with the one Spirit Stone tier.
White light.
A bottle of Second Level Qi Blood Pills, usable.
White light.
A bag of delicious fruits and vegetables, edible.
White light.
One Tier One Snake Blood Fruit, capable of increasing physical strength, useless to Su Mu, but can be saved for Miaomiao and Xiaoyue, not a loss.
...
Ten whites and one green; in front of Su Mu was a small pile of elixirs, spirit fruits, and fruits and vegetables. The sole green light was a bottle of Fourth Level Blood Essence Pill.
"All elixirs are useful. The value of these bottles of elixirs alone is about twenty to thirty thousand Spirit Stones, not insignificant."
This outcome actually exceeded Su Mu’s expectations since he didn’t have high hopes for this tier of the Magic Box.
"Let’s continue, next is the ten Spirit Stone tier!"
The first one, white light.
A bottle of Third Level Blood Sinking Pill.
"The ten Spirit Stone tier is indeed different; the same white light opens up to reveal a Third Level elixir!"
Su Mu felt a surge of anticipation.
Following that were ten consecutive white lights, causing Su Mu to laugh uncontrollably, with no words to describe it.
He could only silently store the five bottles of Third Level Elixir, four Tier Three Spirit Fruits, a small bag of thirty Upper Grade Spirit Stones, and a Tier Three Long Halberd into his Space Ring.
The main event was next, and Su Mu’s gaze fell on the last eleven Magic Boxes.
This time he planned to open them all at once, without any hesitation.
It’s all or nothing now.
Eleven rays of light shone, blue skies and white clouds.
To put it plainly, there were two greens and nine whites.
Hmm?
One of the green lights seemed a bit unusual, somewhat glaring, and had a bluish hue.
...
