Chapter 27 Dual Blood Refining
"Manager Bai is a nice person, it's such a pity."
"Cough cough cough~"
"I heard he died from a cold he caught after working for days on end."
"Cough cough cough~"
Several soft coughs could be heard from the crowd.
After watching for a while, Chen Ran headed towards the Meng residence.
People die every day in this world, and Chen Ran has become somewhat numb to it.
After walking through several alleys, Chen Ran discovered that he didn't see a single one of those richly dressed young men and women today.
This made him sense something unusual.
Upon arriving at the Meng residence, Chen Ran found the gates tightly shut.
Even the guards who were previously on duty have been removed.
He went up and knocked on the door. The guard spoke to Chen Ran through the door.
Having learned that Meng Sheng had been staying at the martial arts school recently, Chen Ran didn't linger and headed towards the school.
Upon arriving at the martial arts school, the once bustling school was now deserted and quiet.
Chen Ran frowned and went into the inner room, where he saw Zhou Changfeng and Yue Shan talking about something.
"Xiao Ran, you're here. Please have a seat. I have something to tell you."
Upon hearing this, Chen Ran sat down immediately.
"Xiao Ran, if you don't have anything else to do these days, why don't you stay at the martial arts gym?"
Zhou Changfeng took a sip of tea and spoke calmly to Chen Ran.
"Yes."
Upon hearing this, Chen Ran simply nodded without saying anything more.
"The outer city is chaotic and murky, and plagues break out from time to time."
In mild cases, it can cause a serious illness; in severe cases, it can lead to death.
Although no martial artists who have broken through the limits have contracted the disease yet, it is still best to be cautious.
As before, let's wait for the government and a few major powers to get involved and resolve this.
For now, stay inside the martial arts gym and don't go out.
You can go now.
After explaining and giving a warning, he dismissed Chen Ran.
Chen Ran bowed and headed towards the door.
Upon arriving at the inner courtyard, they found Meng Sheng chatting with several senior brothers and sisters.
Unlike Chen Ran, who is a loner, Meng Sheng has excellent social skills.
He was the most popular person in the entire martial arts school.
Seeing Chen Ran walk in, Meng Sheng quickly pulled him over.
"Junior Sister Chen, Junior Brother is from the same clan as you. We should definitely interact more in the future."
"Junior Brother Wang, you must take good care of Junior Brother in the future."
"Hehe, definitely, definitely."
"Senior Brother Meng, you're too kind. Junior Brother is part of our martial arts school, and this is what we should do."
Chen Yu and Wang Wu smiled, but their eyes held a distant and disdainful look.
Within the martial arts school, the small circle is called the small circle.
It's because they automatically divide people into different classes.
Within Meng Sheng and his group's small circle, everyone's family owns a certain amount of business.
He was a marginal figure in his own family.
These people can all help you to some extent.
What can Chen Ran, this junior brother who came from a background of refugees, do?
To be a thug?
To put it bluntly, which family doesn't have some of these thugs?
One more or one less makes no difference.
Most importantly, in their eyes, Chen Ran was nothing more than someone whose potential had been completely exhausted.
He's just a piece of trash who'll never be able to reach the second blood level in his entire life.
It has no resources, no background, and no potential.
Such people with no connections or backgrounds are only befriended by fools like Meng Sheng who only care about the other person's personality; everyone else simply ignores them.
They were not from the same class at all; their starting point was Chen Ran's ending point.
Chen Ran naturally noticed the disdain and indifference in the eyes of these so-called senior brothers and sisters.
However, he didn't care about this group of people.
After saying a few casual words, Chen Ran walked to the side, activated the Giant Ape Limit Breaking Technique, and began to continuously temper his body.
Seeing this, Meng Sheng felt somewhat helpless.
Soon, a feeling of weakness came over me.
Chen Ran slowly got up, feeling the increasing power of qi and blood within his body. He nodded slowly, took out the dried meat from his pocket, and began to eat.
………….
Nanming Street.
Inside a perfectly intact room, Sun Wuji was looking at the report in front of him with a gloomy expression.
"What a bunch of good-for-nothings! The entire squad is dead!! And those lowly commoners are still alive. What a bunch of useless trash!!!"
Angry shouts echoed in the basement.
Below, a man in black had cold sweat on his forehead.
After a long while, Sun Wuji, having calmed down, was filled with resentment.
Among those lowly people, someone reported the Jinghuo Sect to the government, which led to the Jinghuo Sect becoming a sect that everyone in Qinghe County hates.
Orders have just come down from above: for the time being, a complete halt to all operations is required.
"All operations are halted, and all personnel deployed overseas are recalled."
"Yes, sir."
………….
Time passed slowly, and in the blink of an eye, a month had gone by.
The morning light shines on the earth, dispelling the cold brought by the darkness.
As the winter solstice approaches, the weather becomes increasingly cold.
Inside the dilapidated house, Chen Ran stood with his legs bare, his bronze skin revealing dark blue veins that bulged slightly like the roots of an old tree.
There was a thin layer of keratin on the surface of his legs.
"Blue Seal".
A blue light flashed in his eyes, and a panel appeared in front of Chen Ran.
Name: Chen Ran
Age: 19/80
[Realm: Blood Refining Level 1]
Skills: Transporting (Minor Mastery); Tongbei Stance (Major Mastery); Tongbei Fist (Minor Mastery); Giant Ape Limit Breaking Technique (Beginner); Divine Form Step (Minor Mastery)
[Talent: Savage]
[Blue Seal: 1]
[Red Seal: 0]
For the past month, Chen Ran has focused on practicing the Divine Form Step.
With the added benefit of various demon beast meats, and his own strength at the first level of blood refinement.
Finally, the Divine Form Step technique achieved minor success.
Now, he is a dual-blood-refining martial artist.
Upon reaching the black stone, Chen Ran's internal energy surged forth, flowing into his legs.
Suddenly exert force.
"Bang!!!"
The dark blue stone was kicked by Chen Ran, sending it flying in fragments and breaking in half.
This dark blue stone, which had suffered greatly at Chen Ran's hands, finally met its end.
"Ah, this thing is quite expensive."
Chen Ran felt a pang of sympathy watching this.
However, Chen Ran was quite satisfied with the actual destructive power it caused.
Chen Ran had also accumulated some Blue Seals, but he hadn't used them yet; they were his trump card for activating the Barbarian Skin.
In a crisis, this blue stamp can mean the difference between life and death.
After finishing his cultivation, Chen Ran went to the kitchen and began cooking.
A large basin full of braised wild boar meat, plus half a pound of monster meat.
This is what Chen Ran is going to eat for one meal.
Chen Ran eats six meals a day like this.
It should also be taken in conjunction with blood-nourishing and qi-tonifying herbal decoctions.
With such massive consumption, a quarter of the money Chen Ran obtained from his last Robin Hood-style charity has already been used up.
After finishing his meal, Chen Ran headed towards the door.
During this period, he also took up a temporary post in the Grand Canal Gang.
They rest for half a month and stay at the dock for the other half.
As before, the monthly allowance is sixty taels of silver and thirty catties of crystal venison.
It will be issued at the beginning of each month.
In the words of Cao Yingtian, the leader of the Cao Gang.
If there aren't enough supplies, how can anyone risk their lives?
This made Chen Ran particularly satisfied.
Most importantly, if anything happens to Senior Brother Meng, he still has a month of rotation leave, which is incredibly kind.
Today is the day he goes to guard the dock.
