Complete one practice method every day

The raging heat in his dantian no longer flowed gently along the path of the Collapsing Mountain Technique, but instead surged unstoppably towards every inch of Chen Yue's muscles and fascia.

"Well!"

Chen Yue groaned, his body trembling violently uncontrollably. His skin instantly turned bright red, radiating an astonishing heat. As soon as sweat seeped from his pores, it was evaporated into white vapor by the intense heat, rising in wisps from his head and all over his body.

He felt as if his body had been thrown into a blazing furnace, every muscle contracting violently in the high temperature, and his fascia being stretched and pounded, producing a subtle but clear crackling sound.

This transformative power was incredibly domineering, washing over every corner of the body. When it swept up to the chest, it collided violently with the chilling aura of the black spot that had been clinging to the bone like a malignant tumor.

"laugh!"

The scorching, surging blood and qi of the Body Refining Realm, like boiling magma, violently impacted the dark, cold black spot, causing it to writhe and contract violently.

The persistent, lingering cold and numbness was rendered immobile by this scorching heat and blood pressure, unable to penetrate even a fraction further.

Moreover, with the continuous flow of qi and blood, Chen Yue could even clearly feel that the edge of the black spot had shrunk inward slightly.

Although extremely subtle, the shrinking trend is undeniably real.

After a dozen or so breaths, the violent heat in his body gradually subsided, returning to his dantian and transforming into a more condensed, scorching energy that slowly circulated along his meridian.

The redness on his skin quickly faded, his body temperature returned to normal, and a feeling of explosive power filled his entire body.

Chen Yue slowly opened his eyes, which shone like two cold stars in the darkness. He gently clenched his fist, his knuckles cracking.

Chen Yue lowered his head, pulled open his shirt, and looked at his chest.

The black spot was still there, but the writhing, lifeless feeling and the chilling, outward-evolving presence had completely vanished. It was firmly nailed there, like a lifeless scar.

"Flesh Refining Realm..." Chen Yue's lips curled up uncontrollably, revealing a relieved smile.

We've finally broken through!

Not only did his strength increase dramatically, but his physical strength, reaction speed, and sensory acuity also improved to a whole new level. More importantly, the threat of the black spots that had been hanging over his head like a sword of Damocles was finally suppressed to its lowest point, and he even saw the glimmer of hope for their complete elimination.

At the same time, the successful integration of the Wind Chasing Technique also delighted Chen Yue. Judging from the fact that it requires 300 experience points to even begin, the level of this new movement technique is probably comparable to the Mountain Collapse Technique, far surpassing those five basic movement techniques.

This means that Chen Yue's weaknesses in speed, evasion, and stealth will be greatly improved.

The next day, Chen Yue completed the alchemy task step by step, took the Solidifying Essence Pill to consolidate his cultivation, and practiced the Collapsing Mountain Technique and the newly learned Wind Chasing Technique.

In his spare time, Chen Yue would take out the six basic sword techniques manuals he bought on the black market and study them carefully. At the same time, he would practice with his bare hands, trying to integrate their characteristics like he was integrating movement techniques.

The Five Tigers Severing the Gate Saber is fierce and violent, the Mountain Splitting Saber is heavy and powerful, the Night Battle Eight Directions Saber is dense and protective, the Wind-Splashing Saber is as fast as the wind, the Ground Hall Saber is cunning and close to the ground, and the Willow Leaf Saber is light and elusive...

He constantly disassembled, combined, and deduced, searching for commonalities and complementarities among them.

Two days later, the panel will be settled.

[After a successful attempt to fuse different sword techniques, the new sword technique "Raging Tide Sword Technique" has been obtained.]

【Raging Tide Blade Technique (Beginner 1/300)】

Another weakness has been addressed, and the starting point is quite high.

The Tiger Roar Golden Bell Cover book, which the stall owner had included as a bonus, also gave Chen Yue an unexpected surprise.

After the panel added it, the name displayed was 【Tiger Roar Golden Bell Cover (Fragment)】, but Chen Yue could not cultivate it because it was too incomplete and did not even have the first complete Qi circulation method.

Judging from the vague information displayed on the panel, the complete version of this body-refining technique is at an extremely high level.

Chen Yue's heart stirred, and he made a special trip to the black market twice more, finding several other vendors selling manuals, hoping to find similar high-level incomplete manuals.

Unfortunately, the so-called martial arts manuals sold by those vendors were either fabricated or rudimentary external martial arts techniques disguised, and they couldn't even be recorded on the control panel.

Only this Tiger Roar Golden Bell Cover (incomplete) is uncultivable, but the panel recognizes its origin.

After much hesitation, one night, Chen Yue stared at the lone 1 source point on the panel, and looked at the description of Tiger Roar Golden Bell Cover (Fragment), and finally made up his mind.

"It all depends on whether you're worth this little bit of source points."

Chen Yue concentrated his mind, focused his thoughts on that one point of origin, and then directed them towards the Tiger Roar Golden Bell Cover (remnant).

The moment the source point disappeared, a stream of information far heavier than when he fused the techniques before suddenly flooded into Chen Yue's mind. At the same time, the skill bar on the panel blurred, and the words "Tiger Roar Golden Bell Shield (Fragment)" distorted, turning into "Tiger Roar Golden Bell Shield (Beginner 1/3000)".

"3000 points of beginner experience?!"

Chen Yue gasped when he saw the changes on the panel.

This number is ten times the introductory experience required for the Mountain Collapse Technique and the Wind Chasing Technique.

As Chen Yue carefully experienced the information flooding into his mind, he discovered that this Tiger Roar Golden Bell Shield not only contained a lot of deeper understanding and training concepts about the physical body, but also pointed directly to the origin of the way of physical defense and counter-shock.

Although it was only the tip of the iceberg, it had already shown Chen Yue a vast and boundless world of body refinement.

Worth it!

This investment was absolutely worth it!

That night, Chen Yue attempted to practice the introductory chapter of the Tiger Roar Golden Bell Cover for the first time, but the effect was minimal. However, Chen Yue maintained a good mindset.

He understands his own abilities, and with the panel in hand, all he needs to do is work hard.

In the stillness, Chen Yue suddenly opened his tightly closed eyes, his pupils slightly contracting in the darkness.

He tilted his head slightly, and his ear twitched almost imperceptibly.

there's noise.

Chen Yue sat up from the bed, his back pressed against the cold earthen wall, holding his breath.

He was now making the most of the enhanced senses he had gained after breaking through to the Flesh Refining Realm.

The sounds coming from the darkness became clearer; someone had climbed over the wall into the courtyard of the pharmacy—at least seven or eight people, or even more!

The sounds of their landing varied in volume, indicating that the newcomers had varying levels of cultivation, but their movements were all swift and decisive, showing they were no ordinary thieves.

Chen Yue listened carefully and noticed that most of the footsteps were moving quickly toward the front hall where the valuable medicinal herbs and pills were stored, indicating a clear target.

But there were also footsteps approaching the relatively secluded alchemy courtyard, where Lin Quan and several other alchemists, including himself, lived.

"Are they after the alchemists? Or are they just indiscriminately robbing people?" Chen Yue's mind raced.

He quickly unfolded the bedding on the bed, arranging it into the outline of a reclining human figure. After doing this, Chen Yue vanished silently into a corner of the room.

"Who are you! Ah—!"

A terrified scream came from the direction of one of the apprentices' rooms in the front yard, but it was cut short as if someone had suddenly choked it.

Immediately afterwards, a rough and fierce roar rang out, "Anyone who doesn't want to die, stay inside and lie still! Anyone who dares to peek out, I'll chop off their head!"

The front yard fell into a deathly silence; no one dared to make a sound, and no one dared to come out.
