I am a high-level martial arts master.

Inside the grotto, Ye Li began to operate according to the mysterious path recorded in the scriptures.

At first it was just a trickle, but as the cultivation method was practiced, the scriptures and the medicinal power of the Heaven-Mending Pill gradually merged, turning into a scorching yet harmless torrent that surged into the bone marrow!

"Well……"

Even with Ye Li's willpower forged through ten cycles of the Chongyuan Technique, he couldn't help but let out a muffled groan at this moment.

It felt as if thousands of red-hot needles were drilling into the bones through the blood vessels, repeatedly piercing, stirring, and burning in the bone marrow cavity!

Compared to the previous training, this moment was nothing short of torture.

Every inch of bone was making a subtle "crackling" sound.

That's a sign that the old bone marrow is being forcibly refined by the medicine and internal energy, and a more vibrant and spiritual bone marrow is being born!

But as Ye Li continued his cultivation, he made a surprising discovery.

Not only was his own aptitude improving, but under the influence of the Heaven-Mending Pill, Ye Li's cultivation level was also gradually rising.

Martial arts training involves entering a state of physical refinement, tempering the skin, strengthening the body and solidifying the flesh, and then cultivating the bones!

The so-called acquired realm is where internal energy is generated spontaneously, but it only circulates within the meridians.

The human body has twelve regular meridians, eight extraordinary meridians, and three hundred and sixty-two acupoints.

These eight extraordinary meridians and acupoints were all opened up when the body tempering was completed.

Therefore, the person who first created the Acquired Realm was exceptionally talented, opening bone apertures on every bone!

Compared to flesh and blood, the acupoints on bones are extremely difficult to open.

Ordinary martial artists, even with painstaking effort, can only painstakingly open one bone aperture in a month.

However, once the connection is established, it will significantly increase the upper limit and purity of internal energy.

The subsequent cultivation involves using internal force to break through the bone orifices, allowing the flesh and bones to become one, both of which can be infused with internal force.

The human skeleton consists of 206 bones: 29 skull bones, 51 trunk bones, and 126 limb bones.

Once the acupoints in the limbs are opened, the intermediate stage is reached.

Opening up the acupoints in the torso and bones leads to the later stages, while refining the skull represents the attainment of postnatal perfection.

At that time, one will achieve perfect enlightenment, with all meridians open, possessing 362 acupoints and 206 bone acupoints, thus forming a primordial Dao embryo!

At this moment, driven by the medicinal effects, Ye Li's bone marrow was undergoing destruction and rebirth, while the remaining medicinal power was purifying his cultivation. This was far more potent than the effects of the century-old ginseng pill; the residual medicinal power alone, beyond altering his aptitude, was enough to loosen Ye Li's cultivation level. Starting with the smallest and easiest acupoint to open in his arm, Ye Li used his internal energy to propel the medicinal power, causing it to continuously circulate within his body.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Under the influence of the medicine, the barriers in his bones were continuously broken down, allowing Ye Li's cultivation level to increase steadily.

境界：后天初期（1/126骨…2/126号……3/126骨……

Each time a bone aperture is opened, Ye Li's maximum true qi increases by 10%.

If the 126 acupoints in the early stages of life are opened, the amount of true qi will be 12.6 times greater.

Sweat instantly soaked through Ye Li's clothes. Ye Li gritted his teeth, maintaining extreme composure as he controlled the flow of every bit of medicinal power and internal energy. He ensured the reshaping process was efficient, wasting not a single trace of the Heaven-Mending Pill's medicinal properties.

Inside the cellar, everyone was drawn to the strange phenomenon emanating from Ye Li.

A faint white mist rose from Ye Li's body, and an indescribable fragrance spread out, invigorating the spirit and even making the circulation of internal energy seem to speed up slightly.

These white mists are impurities that evaporate from the burning of Ye Li's bone marrow.

Even with impurities, it is still formed from the evaporation of the core bone marrow of grade B or medium quality.

To put it bluntly, the items that the wealthy discard are not broken, but simply not good enough.

"This is... a complete cleansing of the marrow and reshaping of the bones!" Li Guancai's pupils contracted slightly as he whispered:

"That's it! My dear nephew, you won first place. The pill you just took must have been the 'Heaven-Mending Pill,' the reward from the competition. No wonder you had such an unusual phenomenon!"

Jiang Xiyue's beautiful eyes sparkled as she looked at Ye Li's slightly distressed profile. She was happy for Ye Li, but also secretly worried.

Time passes little by little.

After the burning sensation in Ye Li's body reached its peak, it began to slowly subside, which was a sign that the medicinal power of the Heaven-Mending Pill was dissipating.

The old bone marrow has been completely refined, and the new bone marrow, under the combined effect of the medicine and the "Marrow Cleansing Classic", is as crystal clear as chalcedony, containing vitality and spiritual energy far exceeding that of the past!

Not only in terms of aptitude, during the cultivation process, Ye Li's bones opened 25 bone acupoints in succession, which is equivalent to more than two years of painstaking training for other martial artists.

The internal energy flowed freely without any stagnation, but rather like a fish in water, and the amount of true energy suddenly increased by 2.5 times!

An unprecedented sense of "transparency" filled my entire body.

The spiritual energy between heaven and earth became clearer and more intimate to him than ever before.

He could even feel that his body's efficiency in absorbing and converting spiritual energy had undergone a tremendous change!

Silently opening his eyes, Ye Li saw the panel in front of him:

November 1st

Name: Ye Li

Realm: Early Stage of Acquired (25/126 Bones)

Cultivation techniques (techniques perfected to the point of perfection are omitted):

"Yi Sui Jing (372/500)"

"Ten Releases of Hidden Arrow (1463/1300)"

"Mysterious Steps (2843/1700)"

Ye Li looked at the experience bar on the Marrow Cleansing Scripture. The effect of one Heaven-Mending Pill was equivalent to practicing the Marrow Cleansing Scripture more than three hundred times, which was truly outrageous. He silently activated the detection method recorded in the Marrow Cleansing Scripture.

He focused his mind on his body, sensing the speed of blood and qi circulation, the efficiency of internal energy generation... all these signs converged to quickly arrive at a conclusion. "This is..."

Even though he was mentally prepared, Ye Li was still shocked.

The original Grade B medium-level root bone has undergone a qualitative leap under the dual effects of the Heaven-Mending Pill and the Marrow Cleansing Classic!

"Grade A, Lower Level!" Ye Li took a deep breath, suppressing the excitement in his heart. His physical constitution was more than four times stronger than before!

An ordinary martial artist (with a lower-grade aptitude) can only open one bone aperture in one month without taking any elixirs.

Ye Li can open one bone acupoint in about three days!

In the Xia Kingdom today, breaking through the acquired level is considered genius.

At this moment, Ye Li is probably ten times more talented than a genius.

What's most terrifying is that Ye Li has no bottlenecks. Compared to others who need to comprehend after breaking through a bottleneck, Ye Li can break through directly.

"But it can go even faster!" Ye Li's gaze fell on the panel.

"Yi Sui Jing (372/500)"

This Marrow Cleansing Scripture can still be improved; once it is cultivated to perfection, there will be additional entries that enhance one's aptitude.

With the help of the relevant entries, it's not impossible to be promoted to the intermediate level of Grade A!

Just as Ye Li was pondering, Elder Jiang walked in through the main gate, his face somewhat grim. He said:

"I've brought you what you wanted. It's outside in the corner of the church. If you want it, go get it yourself."

Ye Li nodded lightly, then picked up the sword that was placed to the side and walked outside.

After leaving the basement, we arrived at the corner that Old Jiang had mentioned.

Ye Li used his internal energy to isolate the air inside and outside, and used the Cup Shadow Sword to pry open the canvas bag, releasing a stench of excrement.

That's right, what he asked Old Jiang to find was indeed shit!

"What are you doing?" Suddenly, a surprised voice rang out from the side.

Wei Wanxi stared at Ye Li in shock: "Is this person playing...playing with shit?"
