Becoming a saint begins with the infinite accumulation of destiny.

"Moon, go and fetch it for Brother Chen."

Wen Fengling gave the instructions in a low voice.

"Yes, Miss."

Jiang Yue'er left reluctantly.

She really wanted to advise her mistress to invest all the resources in the newly recruited talented martial artist.

By concentrating superior resources to support that person, we might be able to help him break through the training level and greatly enhance the martial arts foundation of the young lady's subordinates.

The second young master has veteran bone forging experts like Liu Ming and Li Huan supporting him. Among them, Liu Ming is particularly talented and has already begun to break through to the bone forging stage, only a step away.

He took out this month's share from the backyard storeroom and handed it to Chen Shisheng.

"Then I won't bother you any longer. Goodbye."

Chen Shisheng did not linger and immediately got up to take his leave.

He has been staying at home for the past few months, working on two projects simultaneously, focusing entirely on cultivating his newly acquired Wind Chasing Leg technique and the permeation of Qi and blood into his bones, to the point that he has almost never left the house.

Now, Zhui Feng has reached the peak of blood transfusion and is just one step away from successfully breaking through to the bone-breaking stage.

If he succeeds, he will become a dual-bone-forging martial artist!

As for the progress of the Bull Fist, thanks to the support of the Lin family's batch of Fire Fish Fruits, his blood and qi accumulation is nearing its peak, and it's time for him to break through to the Refining stage.

Therefore, he decided to go out to collect the beast meat and obtain the artistic conception diagram from the Wen family.

He had already learned from Li Huan that breaking through to the next level required an artistic conception diagram, and the Wen family hadn't stopped him, giving him a painting to copy.

Back home, Chen Shisheng cleared his desk and unrolled the painting scroll to both sides.

The scroll is a landscape ink painting, and on the scroll is a picture of a bull charging. The bull is so lifelike that it looks like a living creature.

The bull's horns were raised, and one hoof was raised high as if to pierce the sky, its imposing presence terrifying.

"This is an artistic concept painting..."

Chen Shisheng stared at the scroll on the table, completely bewildered.

After examining it closely, he was certain that it was just an ordinary ink painting, with nothing special about it.

If I really have to say there's a difference, well... the drawing might actually be quite good.

But Chen Shisheng couldn't discern any of the artistic conception or thought that Li Huan was referring to.

"Couldn't you just give me a text version...?"

Chen Shisheng was speechless.

He spent the entire afternoon in his study, trying to understand the principles of blood circulation within the painting.

Qi and blood circulation is a very special route for the flow of qi and blood.

By combining the blood and qi pathways formed through blood exchange, the increased bone density from bone forging, and finally the generation of blood and qi related to the internal organs.

These three parts, when combined, form what is known as the circulation of Qi and blood.

The only dirty martial artist Chen Shisheng had ever met was Lin Bao.

Reflecting on Lin Bao's state of mind, he silently pondered its key implications.

"Most importantly, we must understand the source, or essence, of the circulation of Qi and blood..."

Chen Shisheng looked down at the picture of a charging bull.

He tried to mimic the surging energy of a bull, attempting to force his energy into his abdomen to see if he could establish a connection with something within his internal organs.

Pfft!

Chen Shisheng coughed up a mouthful of blood.

Crimson blood was spilled on the ground, splattering everywhere.

Chen Shisheng wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth expressionlessly. Feeling the surging blood and qi in his body, he forcibly suppressed it before he felt his body return to normal and his blood and qi no longer surged erratically.

"It seems we can't just try things randomly. Otherwise, it would be terrible if it caused a reversal of the flow of qi and blood."

He put away the artistic conception diagram, intending to focus on improving his Wind Chaser Kick technique.

Sitting cross-legged, Chen Shisheng closed his eyes and concentrated again, feeling a completely different kind of blood and energy gathering and flowing in his legs, strengthening his leg muscles.

"First, further strengthen the skin's protective barrier with Qi and blood to trigger a qualitative change!"

Having made his decision, Chen Shisheng didn't hesitate for long. He immediately began circulating his internal energy and blood again, slowly spreading it towards the outer layer of flesh on his legs.

Strengthening the skin through blood and qi is not something that happens overnight, but rather a gradual and subtle change.

Only when the skin membrane undergoes a certain change, forming a thick stratum corneum, can it be considered a breakthrough in bone forging.

Yes.

Breaking through bone forging does not begin with the entry of qi and blood into the bones, but rather with the condition of the skin membrane.

Only when the skin membrane reaches a certain level can it be considered a breakthrough in the quality of Qi and blood, and the flesh and blood be strengthened. Skin membrane mutation is a clear external change.

Some people don't have this ability, but by understanding their own Qi and blood, they can understand whether they can begin bone forging.

Soon, Chen Shisheng slowly circulated his Qi and blood, which began to flow in his legs.

With each movement of his body, one could feel a portion of his vital energy dissipating.

Click!

After running around for a few rounds, Chen Shisheng suddenly opened his eyes, picked up the beast meat next to him, casually tore off a few pieces, threw them into his mouth, and began to chew them heartily.

After rinsing his mouth with water and swallowing the meat, Chen Shisheng finally felt his blood and energy return to normal after repeating this several times.

So he started circulating his qi and blood again, and began to penetrate the body with qi and blood.

At his level, he no longer needs to use external attacks and combos to accelerate the penetration of qi and blood, as he did at the beginning.

After all, he had already broken through the Bone Forging stage; this was merely a retraining process. With just a little guidance, most of the techniques could be absorbed.

This is one of the reasons why Chen Shisheng practiced the Wind Chasing Kick.

It doesn't take much time, and it can also improve your own skills to a certain extent, so why not do it?

In the blink of an eye, several more days have passed.

With no shortage of exotic beast meat, Chen Shisheng completely immersed himself in ascetic cultivation.

During this period, he also successfully broke through the Wind Chasing Kick and achieved double bone forging.

His legs were greatly enhanced, making him nearly 50% faster than before.

This pleased Chen Shisheng greatly, who remarked that it was indeed a speed-type martial art, and that it had played a significant role in improving his speed.

However, at the same time, because he was focusing all his efforts on breaking through the Wind Chasing Kick, his progress in breaking through the Dirty Bull Fist completely stalled.

However, this was something Chen Shi had anticipated.

The Chen Family Courtyard.

Chen Shisheng was wearing loose trousers, a close-fitting mandarin jacket, and large cloth shoes.

As his body shape changed, the size of his clothes also changed, requiring them to be custom-made, otherwise they simply wouldn't fit.

Swish!Swish!Swish!

Chen Shisheng lightly touched the ground with his toes, like a dragonfly skimming the water, and made several quick taps in the courtyard. A circle of dust rippled out on the ground, spread rapidly, and eventually grew larger and disappeared.

Chen Shisheng's figure moved nimbly and dodged around the courtyard, accompanied by gusts of breeze.

His leg muscles rapidly engorged with blood, and with a slight exertion, he could easily leap up and take several steps.

"call!"

He gasped for breath, exhaling several thick gasps.

Chen Shisheng paused, landing in the center of the courtyard. His trouser legs were soaked with sweat, revealing the outline of his strong muscles clinging to his body.

"Dual bone forging is complete!"

Chen Shisheng stood for a moment, sensing the subtle changes in his body, his eyes gleaming with a strange light.

The Wind Chasing Kick is not as good as the Savage Bull Fist, and the amount of Qi and Blood it generates is also far less, but the amount of Qi and Blood from both is still greater than that from one.

Moreover, Chen Shisheng discovered a key point through the bone-strengthening effect achieved by the Wind Chasing Kick.

Ordinary martial artists forge their bones by relying on the qi and blood of a particular martial art to penetrate the bones, which creates a specific focus.

Just like the Bull Fist, the focus of bone forging is actually only on the arms and fists. The rest of the body is just the natural retention of qi and blood during circulation, not something that is deliberately done.

By practicing the Wind Chasing Leg technique, Chen Shisheng had actually begun to simultaneously strengthen the bones of his arms and legs.

But he had already completed the bone-forging of the Bull Fist; now he was simply focusing on strengthening his leg bones again.

But this also makes his bone density far exceed that of other bone-forging martial artists.

"It's time to go and take another look at Yinshan Mountain."

Chen Shisheng stopped his movements, turned around and went back into the house to drink a few mouthfuls of water to calm down the restless blood pressure in his body.

He figured it out. Since he couldn't break through on his own, he could only go and see if there was any suitable destiny on Yinshan Mountain that could help him.

......

outer city.

Countless heads surged and rippled like a pot of boiling water.

In the center of the crowd, on an old-fashioned stone stage used for opera performances, several large black cloths were hung on both sides, each painted with a lifelike purplish-black earthworm that seemed to writhe as if it were alive.

In the very center of the table stood an old Taoist priest with white hair and beard, wearing a tattered, oil-stained black robe, standing tall and solemn, his eyes closed in deep concentration.

Swish!

Suddenly, the old Taoist priest opened his eyes, flicked his whisk, and began chanting incantations.

"The universe is mysterious and boundless, the world is unfathomable. In ancient times, a divine dragon descended to earth. It revered purple and spread blessings. Now it has reappeared, who wouldn't ask..."

As the experienced Taoist priest made his movements, people on the stage began to sprinkle large amounts of golden particles down, causing everyone to scramble to grab them and stuff them into their mouths.

Those were grains larger than wheat, seemingly emanating a faint, magical aroma, which made the refugees below scramble to eat them.

"A divine dragon has descended upon the world to secure your survival! Why don't you quickly awaken and follow the direction of the dragon's horns?!"

Suddenly, a loud shout rang out in the crowd, and then spread rapidly, causing a great uproar and a surge of anger among the people.

"Divine Dragon! Divine Dragon! Divine Dragon!!"

The surrounding shops were so frightened that they quickly closed their doors and windows, fearing they would get involved.

But some of the bolder ones looked out and saw that the crowd was already surging toward the bridge leading to the inner city.
