Fantasy: Starting with a bowl, you can exchange it for endless cultivation.

Seven days later.

Gu Chen looked exhausted, with sunken eyes and dark circles under his eyes. Seven days of continuous, mentally taxing pill refining had almost drained him dry.

However, he was extremely excited.

Because he had already refined all the medicinal herbs in his possession into pills.

He used the ingredients from 21 portions of Qi and Blood Pills to refine a total of 210 Qi and Blood Pills.

Cheng Mengling arrived as promised with the Cheng family manager. They were shocked to see so many Qi and Blood Pills that Gu Chen had taken out.

Qi and Blood Pills are high-grade pills, costing fifty taels of silver per pill. Gu Chen actually took out so many at once.

If the Cheng family were to sell this batch of pills, they could make a profit of nearly a thousand taels of silver.

"I managed to accomplish my mission," Gu Chen said, staring at his panda eyes.

"Brother Gu, you've worked hard." Cheng Mengling looked at Gu Chen's appearance, feeling both sorry for him and wanting to laugh.

One Qi and Blood Pill costs 42.5 taels of silver, and 210 pills would cost 8,925 taels.

Cheng Mengling took out nine thousand taels of silver and paid it to Gu Chen, giving him an extra seventy-five taels.

Then he said to Gu Chen, "Brother Gu, the date for the duel between that second-rate family and my Cheng family is approaching soon. There are only five days left. Let's set the next delivery date for five days from now. I'll come to collect the pills then, and I'll take you there to fight for my Cheng family."

"No problem." Gu Chen nodded.

After Cheng Mengling left.

Gu Chen went directly to Su Ming.

"Brother Su, I'd like to purchase a batch of Bone Forging Pills. Do you have any in stock?" Gu Chen asked.

"Bone Forging Pill?" Su Ming was somewhat surprised upon hearing this. Only experts at the Bone Forging Realm would need such a high-grade innate pill.

There are no more than ten experts at the Bone Forging Realm in Chiyang City, so it's usually difficult to sell such high-level pills.

Unexpectedly, Gu Chen actually wanted to buy it today.

"How much do you need? If it's too much, we don't have any at the moment and will need to source it from the headquarters of the Treasure Medicine Pavilion in Huoyun Prefecture," Su Ming replied.

"Twenty-eight, do you have them?" Gu Chen asked.

He estimated that to break through to the Bone Forging Realm, he would need at least 280 days of cultivation, which would require 28 Bone Forging Pills.

"We have 28 pills in stock at our Treasure Medicine Pavilion," Su Ming replied. "Each Bone Forging Pill costs 150 taels of silver, but we'll give you an 88% discount, which is 3,700 taels of silver."

"Okay." Gu Chen nodded. "Thank you for your help, Brother Su."

"Brother Gu, you're too kind." Su Ming entered the medicine pavilion and took out twenty-eight Bone Forging Pills.

Gu Chen paid him three thousand seven hundred taels of silver directly.

Then he took the pills and returned to his villa.

Now, he can finally break through to the Bone Forging Realm.

Back in my own yard.

Gu Chen entered the house.

Close the door properly.

Take out the Five Thunder Primordial Skill and put it into the copper bowl.

To break through to the third realm of the Innate Realm, the Bone Forging Realm.

First, one must comprehend the technique. The third chapter of the Five Thunder Innate Technique is the Fire and Thunder Bone Forging Chapter.

The copper bowl shows:

[The "Fire and Thunder Bone Forging Chapter" can be exchanged for insights into the cultivation technique for thirty taels of silver.]

Gu Chen put the silver in and selected to exchange it.

Gu Chen then mastered this cultivation technique.

The "Fire and Thunder Forging Bone Chapter" tells the story of how external medicinal power is transformed into innate fire and thunder to temper and forge the bones of the entire body.

When a cultivator reaches the second stage of the Innate Realm, their flesh and skin are formed, and they begin to temper their bones. Since the bones are the most yin and cold and of the most mortal quality, they are forged with the power of pure yang fire and lightning.

A breakthrough to the Bone Forging Realm allows one to crush opponents of the same level.

Gu Chen placed twenty-eight Bone Forging Pills into the copper bowl.

Copper bowl tip:

Twenty-eight Grade 3 Innate Bone Forging Pills can be exchanged for 280 days of pure cultivation.

Gu Chen chose to exchange.

moment.

A terrifying amount of cultivation power was poured into Gu Chen's body. Gu Chen immediately activated his cultivation technique to transform this power into pure Yang innate fire and lightning.

It begins to penetrate the skin and flesh, reaching deep into the three hundred joints and thousands of bones of the entire body, to burn away the cold and impure energy in the bones.

Forge and reshape the bone structure.

Cultivation transfer completed.

Gu Chen's aura changed drastically, and a terrifying aura surged from his body.

The explosive power of the bones doubled, and strands of pure yang thunder and fire power were generated within the bones, turning them black and as hard as black iron.

Every gesture he made was imbued with the power of innate thunder and fire.

He entered the early stage of the Bone Forging Realm and reached the Iron Bone level.

The Bone Forging Realm is divided into four levels.

Iron bones, bronze bones, silver bones, and gold bones correspond to the initial stage to the completion stage.

Once you reach the Golden Bone level, you've reached the pinnacle of the Bone Forging Realm and can then break through to the fourth innate realm, the Tendon Changing Realm.

"Having reached the early stage of the Bone Forging Realm, the Iron Bone level, my bones are as hard as black iron, and I can easily crush a powerhouse at the peak of the Skin Tempering Realm." Gu Chen clenched his fist, feeling the immense explosive power contained within his bones.

He was completely captivated by the sense of power boost he experienced from this practice.

I bought twenty-eight Bone Forging Pills, which cost me three thousand seven hundred taels of silver.

He still has 5,500 taels left.

I'll hold off on using it to buy elixirs for cultivation for now.

To break through to the second stage of the Bone Forging Realm, the Bronze Bone level, you need at least thirty Bone Forging Pills, which is more than four thousand taels of silver.

The silver I have now needs to be used to buy alchemy materials, earn more silver, and then buy Bone Forging Realm items to improve my cultivation level.

Gu Chen left the courtyard.

Go find Xu Kun.

Qi and Blood Pills are making money like this.

If he could learn how to make a second-grade innate skin-tempering pill, wouldn't he be able to make even more money by refining and selling it?

He had previously said he would see how long it took him to comprehend the method of refining the Qi and Blood Pill.

I'll try to understand it myself in seven days; I wonder how he'll react.

Gu Chen thought to himself.

After finding Xu Kun, he personally demonstrated how to refine the Qi and Blood Pill in front of him.

Xu Kun was completely devastated.

Back when he first started learning alchemy, it took him four or five years to break through from refining Qi and Blood Pills to being able to refine Qi and Blood Pills.

Gu Chen finished it in seven days!

In the path of alchemy, effort is truly insignificant compared to talent.

"This is the recipe for the Skin Tempering Pill." Xu Kun directly handed Gu Chen a pill recipe: "The Skin Tempering Pill is a second-grade innate pill. Once you learn how to make it, you can also refine the Skin Tempering Pill."

"Because the ingredients for refining the Skin Tempering Pill are the same as those for the Skin Tempering Pill, with only a few fewer key spiritual herbs added," Xu Kun explained. "If you can learn how to refine the Skin Tempering Pill within ten days, then I will also teach you the last pill I know, the Bone Forging Pill, a third-grade innate pill."

"When that time comes, there won't be much left for you to learn from me. If you want to learn higher-level pills, you'll have to go to the Pill Sect!" Xu Kun said with some emotion.

He didn't expect that Gu Chen would be completing his apprenticeship so soon after learning alchemy from him.

It's true what they say, the younger generation surpasses the older; he's really getting old.

It took decades to reach this level.

The Ancient Dust Flower arrived in just over a month.

"Thank you, Senior Brother Xu." Gu Chen bowed to Xu Kun, even though Xu Kun hadn't taught him anything, only given him the pill formula.

He learned everything else through his own efforts.

However, Xu Kun also gave him the pill formula, which enabled him to gain insights from exchanging the pill with the copper bowl. He deserved to bow to Xu Kun for that.

Gu Chen left.

Found in Texas.

This time, Gu Chen plans to directly purchase the materials for refining the Skin Tempering Pill.

"The cost of the medicinal materials for refining the Skin Tempering Pill is six hundred taels of silver," Xiang Dezhou said.

"I want nine portions, and one more for refining Qi and Blood Pills," Gu Chen said.

"You've already started trying to refine the Skin Tempering Pill?" he asked Dezhou.

"Yes." Gu Chen nodded.

hiss!

Xiang Dezhou gasped in shock. Just where did Gu Chen come from?!

He's only been learning alchemy for a month, and he's already about to advance to the second rank of the Innate Realm alchemist.

His talent for alchemy is probably even more terrifying than his talent for cultivation.

With this talent, once he breaks through to the third rank of the Innate Alchemist, he will be able to participate in the formal disciple assessment at the Pill Sect.

Once the assessment is passed, one can be promoted from a nominal disciple to a formal disciple of the Dan Sect.

Formal disciples of the four major sects are beings that countless people can only dream of.

Their future prospects are limitless.

"Study hard and practice diligently. If you can become a formal disciple of the Pill Sect in the future, we will also benefit from your success." Xiang Dezhou patted Gu Chen on the shoulder and said.

"Keep up the good work, kid," Gu Chen said with a smile.

Nine portions of medicinal materials for refining the Skin Tempering Pill cost a total of 5,400 taels, and one portion of medicinal materials for refining the Qi and Blood Pill cost 300 taels, totaling 5,700 taels.

With a 5% discount, it would be over 5,400 taels.

After paying the money, Gu Chen returned to his courtyard with the medicinal herbs.
