Complete one practice method every day

"The effect was indeed negligible."

Chen Yue understood, but he wasn't disappointed. This was exactly the essential effect he wanted.

Next, Chen Yue devoted all the remaining time to practicing various cultivation techniques. He practiced the circulation of the Vast Qi Strengthening Technique, the resonating and tempering effects of the Tiger Roar Golden Bell Shield, the agile movements of the Cloud Soaring Thousand Steps, and the initial visualization attempts of the newly acquired Heart Nourishing Technique…

Chen Yue made the most of his time by adding a new method to cultivate his mind, which made his schedule even more compact. However, Chen Yue did not feel tired at all; on the contrary, he felt a sense of fulfillment and excitement.

I only regret that there are only twelve two-hour periods in a day, instead of twenty-four.

As night falls, day and night alternate, and midnight arrives.

Daily Settlement

[Taking bone-strengthening pills can strengthen weak bones]

[Striving to cultivate the Mind Nourishing Technique, Mind Nourishing Technique experience +53]

[Taking the Marrow Cleansing Pill provides a mild cleansing and bone-strengthening effect.]

[Taking antidote pills slightly increases resistance to toxins]

……

[Talent: Iron Skin and Bones (1/278)]

When Chen Yue's gaze swept across the bottom of the panel and he saw the newly appeared line of text, his eyes lit up.

A new talent!

only……

"Iron bones come from bone-strengthening pills, but where did copper skin come from?" Chen Yue's gaze moved across the panel, then landed on the Tiger Roar Golden Bell Cover.

If we're talking about techniques that can produce a copper-like finish, then this is the only one.

Tiger Roar Golden Bell Cover did indeed make Chen Yue's skin more resilient, but it hadn't penetrated deep into the bones yet. Now, with the addition of a Bone Strengthening Pill, he has finally unlocked his talent for copper skin and iron bones.

"And why is the experience point count 278? Is it a round number with some decimal places?"

Chen Yue glanced at the experience points associated with his talent, a hint of doubt flashing through his mind. "Immunity to All Poisons" was a neat 100 points, while "Iron Skin and Bones" was a whopping 278 points…

Is it related to my continuous use of the Marrow Cleansing Pill to improve my physical aptitude?

Chen Yue couldn't pinpoint the exact reason, but one thing was certain: acquiring this new talent was far more difficult than being immune to all poisons.

Based on taking one bone-strengthening pill per day, it would take a full 278 days, nearly nine months, not even considering the difficulty in obtaining the ingredients for the bone-strengthening pill and the possibility of drug resistance.

Time flows quietly within the high walls of the Chen residence, and in the blink of an eye, ten days have passed.

On the surface, Youlin County appeared calm and peaceful, as if the previous turmoil had been nothing but a dream. But beneath this tranquility, the oppressive atmosphere grew increasingly heavy.

Chen Yue was fully aware of the undercurrents in the outside world, but he had no time to pay attention to anything else, focusing all his attention on his own intense cultivation. After ten days of arduous training, the results were remarkable.

First, there's the newly acquired talent, [Copper Skin and Iron Bones]. Chen Yue's previous guess was correct; the slight marrow cleansing and bone-strengthening effect of the Marrow Cleansing Pill also catalyzed the acquisition progress of this talent.

When he took one Marrow Cleansing Pill and one Bone Strengthening Pill at the same time, at midnight settlement, his [Copper Skin and Iron Bones] experience increased by 1 point, while his maximum value decreased by 1 point.

All things considered, it's equivalent to an increase of 2 points in one day.

According to this calculation, it won't take more than five months for this talent of copper skin and iron bones to be fully formed!

Moreover, this talent has not yet fully manifested, but the benefits it brings are already beginning to emerge.

Chen Yue could clearly feel that his skin was becoming denser and tougher, and when he pressed hard, it was as if there was an invisible, resilient membrane under his skin.

While the strengthening of bones is more subtle, the increase in strength is real and tangible.

The power that had been stabilizing due to the minor success of the Tiger Roar Golden Bell Cover and the major success of the Vast and Firm Qi Consolidation Technique has shown a noticeable improvement in the past ten days.

With every movement, the flow of qi and blood becomes smoother, and the transmission of power becomes more efficient, as if the basic structure of the body is being quietly strengthened and upgraded.

What Chen Yue was most looking forward to was the progress in his cultivation.

Under the combined effects of the Haoran Solidifying Technique and the Marrow Cleansing Pill, Chen Yue's cultivation progressed by leaps and bounds. On the panel, the experience bar for the [Flesh Refining Realm (834/875)] was nearing its end.

Breakthrough to the Bone Forging Realm is just around the corner!

Chen Yue could already feel that the blood and qi in his body had reached a certain critical point, and a faint tingling and hot sensation came from deep within his bones, which was a sign that a qualitative change was about to occur.

……

In the courtyard, Chen Yue stood quietly, his aura restrained, as if he had blended into the surrounding environment.

The next instant, his figure suddenly became blurry, and three Chen Yue appeared on the spot at the same time, taking a step forward in three different directions: left, center, and right.

This is not an afterimage, but a phantom technique that can only be performed after the speed and self-control brought by the Thousand Steps of Clouds have reached their limit.

Although not a true clone, it is enough to deceive the enemy and create an opportunity for a fatal blow in a lightning-fast battle.

For a moment, it seemed as if Chen Yue's elusive figure was everywhere in the courtyard, the sound of his clothes rustling in the wind was continuous, yet his exact location was strangely impossible to pinpoint.

"Whoosh!"

All the phantoms vanished suddenly, like reflections in a mirror or the moon in the water. Chen Yue's figure reappeared in the spot where he had initially stood, his breathing steady, as if he had never moved.

Only a few fallen leaves, whipped up by the rapid airflow, were still slowly drifting down, proving that the incredible scene just now was not an illusion.

Step through the clouds (Complete 7/6133).

This extremely advanced movement technique, under Chen Yue's tireless hard work and the blessing of the Marrow Cleansing Pill to improve his physical constitution, finally allowed him to successfully enter the realm of perfection!

Its speed, agility, versatility, and adaptability to complex terrain have all reached a new level.

If Chen Yue were to fight that Bone Forging Realm expert again, he would be invincible based solely on his movement technique.

Chen Yue looked ahead and casually picked up an ordinary poplar leaf that had fallen in front of him.

With his index and middle fingers holding the leaf stalk, Chen Yue seemingly casually flicked his wrist, instantly transmitting the powerful energy of the Vast and Solidifying Yuan Technique within his body, along with the highly integrated strength of his tendons and bones after mastering the Tiger Roar Golden Bell Shield, to his fingertips.

"laugh!"

With a barely audible whooshing sound, the withered leaf transformed into a faint yellow line, shooting out and striking the trunk of an old poplar tree several feet away.

"Snapped!"

The withered leaves could not withstand this enormous force and shattered into dust the moment they came into contact with the bark.

However, a long, thin scratch with smooth, knife-cut edges appeared where the tree trunk was hit, with wood chips curling slightly.

Even a plucked leaf or a flying blossom can injure the enemy!

The Meridian Bone-Piercing Nail technique, which was not originally a particularly profound hidden weapon technique, was transformed into something extraordinary in Chen Yue's hands, thanks to its terrifying basic strength.

Of course, the foundation for such power lies in the comprehensive improvement of Chen Yue's own strength.

The Marrow Cleansing Pills he took continuously acted like the most precise carving knife, constantly sculpting and improving his physical constitution.

Now, when Chen Yue uses various techniques, he always feels an indescribable sense of smoothness.

He would subconsciously make extremely minor adjustments to the details of many moves. These adjustments, though seemingly insignificant, made the moves more comfortable to execute and more suited to his current physical condition, and often increased their power slightly as a result.

This may be the hidden benefit brought by one's inherent physical constitution: a deeper understanding and control of one's own body, and a more profound connection and optimization with the essence of the cultivation method.

No wonder those with naturally high aptitude can cultivate any skill so easily.

Finally, there is the profound art of nourishing the heart.
