Gao Wu: I became a saint through daily settlements

Please select the tempering area.

A three-dimensional image of a human skeleton slowly appeared before Lin Yue's eyes.

Lin Yue stared at the skeleton floating in mid-air, his brows furrowed, and he fell into a brief moment of contemplation.

Ancient martial arts are divided into three stages: skin training, tendon training, and bone training.

"This option to temper bones seems to be what ancient martial arts call bone refining," Lin Yue murmured, his gaze slowly moving across the skeleton.

The Qi and Blood potions used previously were essentially for refining the skin.

"The human body has a total of 206 bones, and each bone has a different function."

"It can either support the body, conduct qi and blood, or connect muscles and bones; none of them can be missing."

"There are only three innate martial bones that can be tempered now, so we must choose carefully and not waste them." Lin Yue scanned the skeleton in front of him.

About two minutes later, Lin Yue had decided which three bones he wanted to temper.

"The most important bone in the human body can only be the cervical spine." A glint flashed in Lin Yue's eyes.

The cervical spine supports the head and connects to the torso, serving as a crucial hub for the flow of qi, blood, and consciousness.

The human cervical spine is divided into seven vertebrae.

"These are the atlas, axis, vertebrae prominence, third cervical vertebra, fourth cervical vertebra, fifth cervical vertebra, and sixth cervical vertebra."

"Of the seven cervical vertebrae, the most important are the atlas, axis, and protuberance," Lin Yue murmured.

According to ancient martial arts, the atlantoaxial joint, also known as the "heavenly bone," is directly connected to the skull's spiritual palace, and is responsible for clear consciousness and concentrated mental power.

The pivot vertebra is called the "rotation bone," which is responsible for twisting the waist and body, changing body movements, and dissipating force and dodging.

The Longzhui (BL60) is also known as the Tianzhu bone, which is the core hub of the Qi mechanism in the back of the human body, responsible for gathering Qi and regulating the Qi and blood throughout the body.

With a thought, Lin Yue chose to temper his Xuanming Bone, Tianzhu Bone, and Tianzhu Bone.

[Bone tempering is divided into five stages. The first stage is the initial awakening of the bone foundation, the second stage is called the condensation of bone essence and qi...]

A large amount of text about bone tempering appeared in front of Lin Yue, and Lin Yue digested the content completely in less than two minutes.

"In other words, I am currently at the zero-level state. The next bone tempering process is the initial awakening of the bone foundation," Lin Yue said in a low voice.

"The higher the level of tempering, the higher the requirements for one's own life energy level."

The first level of Bone Tempering requires a life energy level of 12.0 or higher.

The second stage of Bone Tempering requires a life energy level of 18.0 or higher.

To reach the third stage of Bone Tempering, one needs a life energy level of 24.0 or higher.

"It seems that the levels of bone tempering correspond one-to-one with the current martial artist realm classifications," Lin Yue thought to himself.

"The Bone Refining Realm of ancient martial arts and the life energy level system in modern cultivation methods have so many similarities. Indeed, the great Daos share the same origin."

"I wonder what stage Tang Jingyue has reached in his bone tempering."

Tang Jingyue of the Starry Sky Martial Hall, like Lin Yue, practiced ancient martial arts, and even earlier than Lin Yue.

"First, temper the Heavenly Bone." Lin Yue took a deep breath, suppressed the distracting thoughts in his mind, and gave the order in a low voice.

Having just absorbed the star beast's inner core, Lin Yue now had plenty of blood and energy, enough to temper these three bones.

"The Heavenly Bone is being tempered."

Immediately afterwards, a heat sensation came from Lin Yue's Tongtian Bone, which was extremely similar to the scorching sensation he felt when cultivating the bird Shen Shi.

Yet it is more concentrated and more rapid, as if a small flame is burning deep within the bones.

It seeps into the bone joints little by little, nourishing every inch of the bone structure.

Practicing the Bear Mantra is equivalent to laying the foundation for the skin, flesh, tendons, and meridians.

Cultivating the Bird's Breath technique is equivalent to laying the foundation for the current bone tempering, with each step interconnected.

Having mastered the body-forging technique "Rong Chengzi's Guiding Technique," Lin Yue completed the tempering of his Heavenly Bone in less than a quarter of an hour.

Lin Yue slowly opened his eyes, feeling a cool current spread from his Tongtian Bone throughout his body. Immediately afterwards, he felt an unprecedented sense of refreshment, and all the distracting thoughts in his mind were swept away.

"Is the tempering complete?"

[Congratulations, host! Your Heavenly Bone has been tempered to the first rank.]

[Effects: Enhances mental clarity, greatly improves the five senses and perception, and increases the speed of mental energy concentration by 10%.]

Lin Yue tried to experience this feeling of mental clarity.

He closed his eyes, and first listened.

Night fell, and all was quiet.

"Now I can actually hear mosquitoes crawling and flying around within a hundred meters," Lin Yue exclaimed.

Then there's the visual aspect.

......

Immediately after the first Heavenly Bone was tempered and stabilized, Lin Yue immediately began tempering the second Bone, the 'Life-Revolving Bone'.

"The second piece is the Tempering and Refining Life Bone."

With Lin Yue's command, the same burning sensation as before emanated from the Xuanming Bone.

......

"Phew." Lin Yue let out a long breath.

[Congratulations, host! Your Life-Revolving Bone has been tempered to the first tier.]

[Effect: Increases body flexibility by 10%, greatly enhances neck flexibility, and improves evasion speed]

"The second bone has also been tempered." Lin Yue understood.

Next is the Tianzhu bone.

......

[Congratulations, host! Your Heavenly Pillar Bone has been tempered to the first tier.]

[Effect: Stabilizes martial arts foundation, increases blood circulation speed by 10%, slightly accelerates body's self-healing speed, and can quickly recover from minor injuries.]

With the three bones fully tempered, the remaining blood and energy from the Star Beast Inner Core that Lin Yue had just digested were completely absorbed.

"The effects of three innate martial bones are already so powerful, what about 100 or 200?" Lin Yue couldn't help but get excited.

Just then, the Record of Martial Arts Treasures slowly reappeared before Lin Yue's eyes.

However, this time the Martial Arts Treasures Record has added a progress bar function.

[Innate Martial Bone Collection Progress: 3/206]

[Next Martial Bone Charging Progress: 2/3]

Lin Yue took a quick look and the general idea was that the more star beasts he killed, the more innate martial bones he could obtain.

"In other words, if we kill another star beast, we can obtain another innate martial bone."

For every three Star Beasts killed, you have the chance to obtain an extra Tempered Bone.

The second tier has 5 birds, the third tier has 8 birds, the fourth tier has 10 birds, and the fifth tier has 15 birds.

Lin Yue roughly calculated that if he relied on killing star beasts to temper his entire skeleton, it would be an astronomical figure.

Furthermore, it is impossible to temper one bone to level two or above before the entire skeleton is tempered to level one.

However, as long as you can see the progress bar, it's not too difficult.

Martial arts are difficult, but what makes them so difficult?

Not only is there a lack of natural talent, but also a lack of resources.

There are also those who have worked hard for a long time, but have yet to see any results!

Many people have devoted half their lives to martial arts, but because they can't see any progress, they gradually lose their original passion and eventually give up on martial arts!

"The goal is gradually becoming clearer." A faint smile appeared on Lin Yue's lips.

The road ahead is long, and the path of martial arts is boundless.

"Next, we will continue to hunt down lone star beasts and temper more innate martial bones."
