Chapter 3: Upgrade two floors
These are the only three skills that the predecessor possessed.

The Iron Skin Skill tempers the body and refines the skin, strengthening the foundation, while the Iron Sand Palm is a palm technique that goes with it.

They complement each other in effectiveness and enhance each other in power.

With his mediocre aptitude in his previous life, he had only been able to cultivate to the entry level after years of persistence.

In comparison, the predecessor's attainments in dissection were the most outstanding, although he had only cultivated to the minor success level.

There is a "+" after each of these three skills, which means that they can be improved by directly consuming good luck.

Geng Xuan pondered that among these three skills, Iron Skin Kung Fu was the most fundamental, and its improvement would have the most comprehensive impact on the growth of strength.

Gradually, Geng Xuan came up with an idea in his mind, and his thoughts focused on the "+" after the Iron Sheet Skill.

"promote."

In an instant, the twenty points of good luck were reduced to sixteen points, as four points were deducted.

The original "Iron Skin Kung Fu (Entry Level)" instantly became "Iron Skin Kung Fu (Minor Accomplishment)".

Geng Xuan only felt a current of heat flowing through his body. He felt as if he was soaking in hot spring water, warm and indescribably comfortable.

When the heat flow disappeared and everything returned to normal, Geng Xuan clearly felt that his body had become much stronger.

Among them, the skin on the body is the most damaged.

Geng Xuan's mind moved slightly, and his strength surged. The skin on his chest and back instantly tightened, becoming much tougher and stronger.

There are five levels of body tempering, with skin refining being the first. This is the first step on the road to strength.

The step that his predecessor had practiced hard for many years but was unable to take, he now took so easily.

Just by consuming a little bit of good luck, your strength will increase dramatically like pulling up onions in dry land.

Just once, Geng Xuan fell in love with this feeling.

As his body recovered, the “+” after “Iron Skin Kung Fu (Minor Achievement)” became clear again.

"Come again...improve."

In an instant, the "Iron Skill" became a great success, and the remaining good fortune dropped from sixteen points to eight points, deducting eight points.

At the same time, a stronger heat flow than before rolled through the whole body and lasted longer.

At the beginning, Geng Xuan was still immersed in the stimulating pleasure brought to his body by this stronger heat flow.

But soon, Geng Xuan, who looked so happy, became a little doubtful.

He felt hungrier and weaker.

The heat flow that originally brought pleasure to people also became a little "ferocious" as the body changed. In his feeling, it not only became hotter, but also caused a tingling pain like a cow hair needle piercing the flesh when flowing around the body surface.

The heat flow finally stopped, but Geng Xuan had no time to verify the changes brought about by the improvement of Iron Skin Kung Fu from minor to major. Surrounded by intense hunger and weakness, he only wanted to eat meat.

Geng Xuan was dumbfounded.

Only then did he realize that although good luck could accelerate the improvement of skills, this improvement did not come out of thin air and the body was still consumed.

After a night of tossing and turning, the body was already extremely exhausted. Just now, the "Iron Skin Skill" from entry level to small success consumed another wave of energy, and the body was basically hollowed out.

For a moment, Geng Xuan didn't care about anything else. He rummaged around the house and stuffed all the edible food into his mouth.

But even after Geng Xuan's stomach was bulging with food, the feeling of hunger did not ease much.

If he continued like this, even if his stomach burst, he still wouldn't be full.

Geng Xuan stopped eating.

At this moment, the relevant memories of his previous life have also been activated. He already knows that his current state is caused by excessive training and extreme physical overdraft, not simple hunger.

For practitioners, this state is very dangerous, and there is even a risk of damaging one's bones or causing one's cultivation to regress.

This is also the reason why we should not be hasty in cultivation and that too much is as bad as too little.

At this moment, Geng Xuan thought of Chen Rongshan's warning again, and he felt a mixed feeling in his heart.

"We have to find a solution quickly."

From the memories of his previous life, Geng Xuan also knew that the cultivators in this world had many ways to deal with this kind of situation.

After Geng Xuan's own summary and refinement, he found that in the final analysis, this can all be summarized into two concepts: "poor" and "rich".

The key to the ultimate solution is to "nourish". Just slowly nourish and regulate the body.

The advantages are that it is cheap and affordable with no threshold, but the disadvantages are that it is easy to leave hidden dangers to the body and delay time. During this period, the strength, energy and mental state of the cultivator will be very poor.

The key to getting rich is the word "supplement". The biggest disadvantage is that it requires a lot of money and resources. Apart from that, all other advantages are advantages.

In other words, as long as there is enough money and resources, there will be no drawbacks or hidden dangers.

Geng Xuan's mind turned, no matter what, he couldn't let this ordinary body fall into the root of hidden dangers. But he had searched the house thoroughly, but there was no resource that could replenish his body. Although there was some money, it was not much.

Besides, it was the dead of night and it was raining heavily, so there was nowhere to buy it.

As he was thinking about it, Geng Xuan suddenly had an idea and looked at Wu Youren who had been dead for a long time.

Soon, he came to him again and began to search his waist, sleeves, arms and other places where things could be hidden.

Things were laid out beside him one by one, and the harvest was not small, but there were no items like the blood-replenishing pills and essence pills that he expected.

This made Geng Xuan very disappointed, and he couldn't help but complain in his heart: "Can't you bring all your things with you before you go out?"

Not finding the expected items, Geng Xuan didn't even bother to count the other spoils he had taken from Wu Youren. He wrapped them all in a bag and would count them slowly when he had time.

Feeling hungry like heartburn, his body was weak and his spirit was also listless. Geng Xuan's eyes fell on Hongyun, which had only eight points left.

In addition to accelerating the improvement of skills, it also has the effect of treating injuries and strengthening the body.

If there is really no other way, consuming good luck should be able to solve the problem and restore your condition.

However, through the two improvements in Iron Skill, Geng Xuan has fully realized the value of good luck and understands that good luck is never enough.

If possible, he didn't want to waste it on something that could be solved with a blood-replenishing pill.

As he was hesitating, Geng Xuan suddenly looked towards the door, and his gaze seemed to pass through the door and the rain curtain, looking further beyond the courtyard gate.

The next moment, Geng Xuan strode towards the door.

"crunch-"

As soon as the door was opened, the night wind blew into the room with misty water vapor and hit my face.

Geng Xuan's body froze, and it was not until the fresh air reached his nose that he realized how strong the bloody smell was in the room.

He also realized belatedly that his body was already covered in blood.

There are my own and also Wu Youren’s.

Geng Xuan quickly took off all his clothes, picked up a clean set of clothes, walked out of the room, closed the door, and locked the strong smell of blood in the room.

Standing under the eaves, Geng Xuan let the rain wash over him and rubbed the blood off his body, then he put on the clothes in his hands that had already been soaked.

After finishing his packing, Geng Xuan walked through the courtyard, opened the gate, and came to another gate not far away on the opposite side.

Without hesitation, Geng Xuan raised his hand and patted him.

"Clap clap-"

After a moment of silence, Chen Rongshan's voice came from the house.

"Who?!"

The intention of being on high alert and vigilant is obvious.

"Uncle Chen, it's me." Geng Xuan replied, not trying to hide his weakness and lack of energy when he spoke.

According to the relationship between the predecessor's father and son and Chen Rongshan's family, as well as the predecessor's personality, after Chen Rongshan showed concern and greetings in the rain late at night, he would definitely respond immediately.

Therefore, if you regard yourself as your predecessor, there is nothing wrong in returning to visit him/her immediately after you have recovered from your practice.

Moreover, because of the doubts in his heart about Chen Rongshan, he should take the initiative to respond as soon as possible.

It is better to see you sooner than later.

Unless you abandon everything in your previous life and become a vagrant, it is impossible to avoid it.

Of course, in addition to these considerations, Geng Xuan also had another hope in his heart.

"If my previous incarnation's memory is correct, Chen Rongshan has already reached the second level of physical training. He should have some training resources ready, right?"

……

"Ah Xuan?"

Chen Rongshan exclaimed, and then Geng Xuan heard some chaotic noises coming from the house.

With a creaky sound, the door opened and Chen Rongshan, wearing a straw hat and a raincoat, ran out of the house.

"Ah Xuan, what can I do for you?"

Geng Xuan was speechless at the moment, his eyes fixed on the top of Chen Rongshan's head.

There, there was also a cloud of red mist hanging.

It moved along with Chen Rongshan's movements, always hanging above Chen Rongshan's head.

Neither the hat on his head nor the rain from the sky had any effect on the red gas.
