Starting with fishing, I've traversed a chaotic world of demons and martial arts.

After watching Xu Xinyue leave, Li Tianxing...

He didn't delay...

Li Tianxing picked up the wooden box and went inside.

"Xiao Yuan, Xiao Li, go and lock the courtyard gate from the inside. I'm getting ready to practice my martial arts!"

"Yes, young master!"

"Okay, Tianxing-ge."

The two women closed the courtyard gate and then stayed outside.

Li Tianxing sat cross-legged on the bed, his back straight as a spear.

He didn't rush to take the medicine, but instead took out all three Bone-Breaking Pills.

He picked up a Bone-Breaking Pill and placed it in his palm.

"It has a dark color, but a faint medicinal fragrance emanates from it; it's a good thing."

Let's see if I can achieve a breakthrough today with the help of the medicine!

Without further hesitation, Li Tianxing swallowed the Bone-Breaking Pill!

The entrance to the bone-breaking pill...

The pill hadn't even been swallowed before it melted in his mouth!

The medicine's effects burst forth instantly!

"boom--"

It felt like a raging fire was exploding inside my stomach!

Li Tianxing felt a surge of intense medicinal power explode within his body!

The medicinal power surged down the meridians, rushing straight to every part of the body!

Li Tianxing snorted, cold sweat instantly beading on his forehead.

He absorbed the medicinal effects as he went...

While practicing the body-tempering techniques of the Flying Swallow Martial Arts Manual!

Li Tianxing adjusted his breathing, sensing the changes within his body!

His bones began to vibrate, not just one or two...

Instead, every bone in the body was making a sound at the same time!

"Such a potent medicine! Another one!"

Without further hesitation, Li Tianxing took out another Bone-Breaking Pill and stuffed it into his mouth!

"Click—click—"

A series of sharp, grating sounds emanated from Li Tianxing's body.

It was as if someone was holding a hammer and hammering away at the very marrow of his body!

pain!

This is a pain that penetrates to the very marrow!

Li Tianxing clenched his teeth tightly, a trickle of blood spilling from the corner of his mouth, but he didn't even flinch!

"We must break through today!"

Li Tianxing forcibly circulated his qi and blood.

His blood and qi surged like a tide, carrying the power of the medicine, washing over his bones again and again.

The old bones were shattered, impurities were shaken out, and the new bone tissue grew wildly under the nourishment of the medicine!

At this moment, Li Tianxing seemed to be reforged by raging fire.

"Just one more, the third one!"

Li Tianxing pinched the last Bone-Breaking Pill and stuffed it into his mouth!

Time passes little by little.

I don't know how much time passed...

"bite--"

A sudden, loud rumbling sound rang out from the bones!

This is proof of the Bone Refinement level:

A single resounding sound, a sound that money can't buy!

Li Tianxing suddenly opened his eyes.

He felt his blood and energy surge like a dragon, and his bones were as hard as iron!

At this moment...

He has reached the "Bone Refining" level in the Blood Bone Realm!

However, Li Tianxing did not get up.

There wasn't even a hint of joy on his face at the breakthrough!

He picked up the white Marrow Cleansing Pill and swallowed it!

"Master once said that in the Blood Bone Realm..."

The "Marrow Nourishment" level is the key to the Blood and Bone Realm!

Now, while the effects of the medicine in my body are still present!

Let's go all out and train ourselves to the bone!

"Maybe I can break through directly to the Marrow Nourishing level!"

Li Tianxing secretly made up his mind!

He swallowed the Marrow Cleansing Pill.

This time, his entire body was no longer tempered by the flames.

Instead, there was a bone-chilling cold, like a cold knife piercing the body!

Li Tianxing felt an extremely cold medicinal power suddenly spread the moment the Marrow Cleansing Pill dissolved.

It felt as if all the meridians in my body had been forcibly torn apart.

Blood flows backward, disrupting the flow of Qi!

"ah--"

Li Tianxing let out a low growl, and the veins on his neck bulged!

This time it's not tempering, it's scraping the bone and removing the marrow!

Impurities and grime that have accumulated in the body for many years are forcibly expelled by the medicine!

A foul, fishy odor emanated from my pores...

"Not enough medicine? Let's try again!"

Li Tianxing simply swallowed the remaining two Marrow Cleansing Pills together!

"ah--"

At this moment, Li Tianxing's body...

It felt as if countless cold knives were churning inside his bones!

Li Tianxing gritted his teeth and silently endured it!

If you want to become stronger, you have to endure these pains!

over time……

Blood mixed with black grime flowed down his skin, completely soaking his clothes!

If one's will were not strong, one would probably have already fainted!

Li Tianxing felt the changes within his body.

His eyes grew brighter and brighter!

He clearly felt...

I am gradually transforming, just like a snake shedding its skin!

A new foundation is slowly taking shape!

"Break for me!"

Li Tianxing let out a low roar, and his blood and qi suddenly surged!

His meridians suddenly widened, the medicinal power of the Marrow Cleansing Pill was completely suppressed, and then perfectly integrated.

The next moment, Li Tianxing's internal energy surged.

It was as if some invisible shackles had been forcibly torn off!

A smile appeared on Li Tianxing's lips:

"I've succeeded! I've broken through to the Marrow Nourishing stage of the Blood Bone Realm!"

The next step is to fuse blood and bones together...

Having cultivated to the point of unifying blood and bones, I reached the pinnacle of the Blood Bone Realm!

"By then, I will be able to see the third realm, the Condensation Realm."

Li Tianxing slowly exhaled a breath of stale air.

He stood up and silently felt the changes in his body.

At this moment, Li Tianxing stood tall and straight, his eyes piercing.

Her originally delicate features have become even more charming after aging.

His aura was calm and restrained, like a sharp sword hidden in its sheath!

Li Tianxing clenched his fist, and the air instantly tightened!

"Bang—"

A muffled thud rang out, like a heavy hammer falling!

"Is this the power of the Marrow Cleansing level?!"

At this moment...

If Zhang Xiaohao were to stand in front of him again...

Zhang Xiaohao only deserves to be killed with one punch!

Even if he is in the third realm, the Condensation Realm!

Li Tianxing pushed open the door and went out.

He looked up and took a deep breath of the fresh air in the courtyard.

Li Tianxing looked at Xiao Yuan and Zhang Li:

"Go fetch me a bucket of water, I want to take a shower."

Xiao Yuan and Zhang Li blushed slightly, thinking they were about to take a bath together again...

Little Mandarin Duck excitedly went inside to get the bucket:

"Yes, young master, I'll go get the big bucket."

Li Tianxing pulled her back:

"A small bucket will do. I'm going out after I take a shower."

Xiao Yuan showed a hint of disappointment:

"Is that so..."

Soon, Li Tianxing finished showering and got dressed.

He then strode towards the Song family's residence...

……

The snow in front of the Song family's house had not yet melted.

At this moment, the gate of the Song family was already filled with guards.

They're not here to shovel snow, they're here to keep people out!

Huang Feng, the captain of the Song family's self-defense force, was still wrapped in bandages.

He led a group of people to disrupt Zhang Wei's wedding...

However, he was knocked unconscious by two punches from Li Tianxing.

Huang Feng looked at Li Tianxing, his voice trembling as he said:

"Li Tianxing... what, what do you want to do?"

Li Tianxing didn't say anything, but simply took a step forward.

He stepped onto the bluestone steps in front of the Song family's gate.

When the guards saw Li Tian move, they all instinctively tensed up!

Facing Li Tianxing alone, the Song family's self-defense force felt as tense as if they were facing a thousand troops.

As the saying goes, a person gains fame, and a tree gains a shadow!

Zhang Xiaohao of the Black Dragon Gang was killed by Li Tianxing!

The entire Anlan County...

Who else would dare to be arrogant in front of him?!

The scene was very quiet at this moment.

This silence was so oppressive it was suffocating!

Li Tianxing stood in front of the door, neither speaking nor making a move.

Just keep lifting your foot forward!

Huang Feng gritted his teeth, wanting to reach out and stop him.

But as soon as he raised his hand, he suddenly froze.

Li Tianxing raised his eyelids and glanced at him.

An invisible aura pressed down on Huang Feng's chest like a heavy stone.

Huang Feng's expression changed drastically, and he involuntarily took a half step back.

"roll!"

Li Tianxing's voice wasn't loud, but it felt like a bucket of cold water had been poured over Huang Feng.

Huang Feng's Adam's apple bobbed, and he forced himself to speak:

"Brother Xing...Master Xing!"

This is the Song family home; there are no orders from the patriarch here.

We dare not…

Li Tianxing glanced at him.

Just a glance.

Huang Feng's second half of his sentence got stuck in his throat.

He dared not say any more...

"Why did you take two punches from me?"

You still spout so much nonsense?!

Li Tianxing said calmly.

Upon hearing this, Huang Feng abruptly turned to the side:

"Master, please come in."

I'll go and inform the head of the family right away!

The door opened, and Li Tianxing strode inside.

……

The main hall of the Song family.

Song Sizhe sat in the main seat.

His face looked haggard, and his temples had turned quite a bit white overnight.

It seems the pain of losing a child has not yet subsided.

Several key figures of the Song family sat on either side of the hall, creating an extremely solemn atmosphere.

They were all discussing...

How do I get to the road behind the Song family's house?

Who should take over the Song family's business?

Li Tian walked in.

He didn't offer any greetings or even glance at anyone.

He stood still in the hall.

In that instant, the entire main hall fell silent, as if the air had frozen!

Several key members of the Song family discussed in hushed tones.

"This young man is Li Tianxing; what a powerful aura he exudes!"

What does he want to do...?

Could it be that they've taken a fancy to one of our Song family's businesses and want to cooperate with us?

"I heard he killed Zhang Xiaohao; judging from the aura he displayed today, it's certainly true!"

"..."

Song Sizhe looked up and met Li Tianxing's gaze.

With just that one glance, his heart skipped a beat.

Although Song Sizhe was not a martial artist, his years of experience in the martial arts world told him...

Li Tianxing has become even stronger!

Song Sizhe couldn't see through him at all.

Li Tianxing stood there, like a deep, still pool of ancient water!

"Li Tianxing, what brings you to my Song family?"

Song Sizhe spoke first, his voice a little hoarse.

Li Tianxing slowly began to speak:

"I came for one person..."

His name is Song Mao!

Upon hearing Li Tianxing's words, the expressions of everyone in the hall changed slightly.

Song Sizhe frowned slightly:

"Song Mao? That... illegitimate child?"

"yes!"

Li Tianxing nodded and continued:

"I am here today not to disturb your Song family's meeting."

I'll only say three things!

Li Tianxing held up one finger:

"First of all, Song Mao is a descendant of the Song family, you know that better than I do!"

Li Tianxing raised his second finger:

"Secondly, I demand that the Song family acknowledge his status and position!"

The last, third finger slowly rose:

"Thirdly, regarding the fish trade in the future."

Starting today...

Song Mao is in charge!

And we need to cooperate with Zhang Wei's fishing team!

As Li Tianxing finished speaking...

The Song family hall was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

An elder of the Song family stood up, couldn't help but slam his hand on the chair, and angrily rebuked:

"Li Tianxing, you've gone too far."

This is the Song family home, not a place for you to run wild!

Li Tianxing turned his head and silently looked at him.

Li Tianxing's expression remained unchanged; he showed no anger, nor did he retaliate.

He simply took a small step forward, and as that step fell...

"Click—"

A fine crack quietly appeared in the blue bricks on the hall floor.

Li Tianxing continued walking forward.

With each step he took, a blue brick was crushed.

Li Tianxing approached the elder of the Song family...

The elder of the Song family felt an immense, mountain-like pressure pressing down on him!

His face turned deathly pale instantly, and he looked as if he were being choked, as if even breathing had become difficult.

He staggered backward and sat heavily back in his chair.

"Damn it! Someone come here!"

Another elder from the Song family shouted loudly!

Seven or eight guards from the Song family's self-defense force appeared at the entrance of the hall!

They were carrying guns!

The gun was aimed at Li Tianxing...
