He transformed from a fierce tiger pillar into a martial saint.

Ever since Lin learned that her son had become a Ming Jin martial artist, she chatted with the villagers every day and inquired about a lot of information about martial artists.

Some are accurate, some are not.

In short, everything related to martial arts and my son's future must be thoroughly understood.

Chu Yang nodded and said, "Really."

Lin was overjoyed: "Xiao Yang, if you become a Dark Force martial artist in two more years, you'll only be twenty years old, which isn't considered old. Okay, then I'll talk to Sisizui and the others about it."

Chu Yang was actually being very conservative by telling Lin Shi that it would take two years. But he couldn't say it would be too long, otherwise Lin Shi would probably get anxious again.

Once you've mastered the hidden strength, things will be completely different.

Nowadays, the countryside is becoming increasingly chaotic due to the infiltration of bandits and the growing number of displaced people. He might as well buy a house near the martial arts school in the outer city and let his mother live there, which would broaden her horizons.

Presumably, by then, the Lin family wouldn't be so insistent.

Then, Chu Yang went to the backyard.

He took the second bottle of medicine he received from the martial arts school and then continued to practice the "Mysterious Iron Body Technique".

The next day he went to the martial arts school again to practice the Fierce Tiger Stance and Tiger Roar Fist.

Senior Brother Chen Feng is preparing to attempt to reach the Transcendent Realm, and he hasn't been coming to the outer courtyard much these past few days.

The other senior brothers with internal strength only occasionally went to the outer courtyard to supervise before leaving again to attend to their own affairs.

As for Chen Fengxiao's most important concern, it was naturally the matter of Chen Feng and Mingjun both reaching the Transcendent Realm!

Once these two disciples reach the Transcendent Realm, the Tiger Roar Martial Arts School will have three Transcendent Realm disciples from now on!

It quickly became the strongest martial arts school in the entire Zhouping County!

He has spent many years training his disciples, pouring countless efforts into it, and even investing his own money. Wasn't he just waiting for this moment?

Moreover, other martial arts schools in the surrounding area, as well as government agencies, major families, and businesses, have all heard the news and are paying attention to this matter.

It is extremely rare for a martial arts school to have two disciples at the peak of Dark Force preparing to simultaneously attempt to reach the Transcendent Realm!

Bai Changyuan, a disciple of the Outer Court at the peak of Ming Jin, is preparing to attempt the An Jin breakthrough for the second time, and has not shown up for many days.

However, the outer disciples were extremely concerned about this.

As for Feng Zixian and Meng De, they haven't been to the martial arts school for a long time. It's said that they went with the Wang family business to transport a batch of important supplies.

Chu Yang only glanced at the letter Wang Yunting sent him. It essentially invited him to take a temporary position at the Wang Family Business, offering six taels of silver and two doses of medicine per month. This was far less than the offer Shen Junhao had made; it was just ordinary market pay.

Liu Xinzhi, who had previously left the martial arts school, has now joined the Zhenyuan Escort Agency.

He came to the martial arts school to invite Chu Yang and explained that the Zhenyuan Escort Agency wanted to invite him to serve as a temporary retainer.

Chu Yang naturally informed him that he had become a retainer of the Shen family.

Liu Xinzhi returned disappointed.

Chu Yang continued his cultivation on his own, offering only occasional guidance to Guo Molin.

With the other disciples, he mostly just greeted them when they met.

The other outer disciples were also used to Chu Yang's behavior.

Three days later.

The backyard of Chu Yang's house.

Chu Yang is currently practicing the "Mysterious Iron Flesh Body Technique".

At that moment, his whole body was burning hot and red.

In that instant, he paused his cultivation, a flash of inspiration crossing his mind.

Mysterious Iron Body Technique (Beginner Level 499/500)

Just one step away from breaking through to the next level and reaching the minor mastery stage!

At the minor completion stage of the Xuan Tie Body Technique, one can already achieve skin as hard as iron and bones as strong as if they were forged!

Chu Yang was still feeling a mix of excitement and nervousness.

Because this was his first time truly breaking through a barrier.

Immediately, he focused his mind and once again circulated the "Mysterious Iron Body Technique," causing his blood and qi to surge and his skin and flesh to become as smooth as silk.

In just a moment.

He felt as if the blood and qi in his body were rapidly converging and colliding with his skin, flesh, and periosteum.

He even felt a tingling, itchy sensation, as if a thousand ants were gnawing at his heart.

However, this feeling quickly subsided.

Instead, it brings a completely new feeling.

Under the moonlight, Chu Yang could see his own skin, which was as bronze as bronze.

As he channeled his inner energy, the surface of his skin rippled, as if it had turned into black iron!

He rubbed his arm against the sand and gravel beneath him with all his might, but it was like scratching an itch through a boot!

Even those sharp stones couldn't leave a single scratch on his skin!

He also felt that his blood and energy were surging within him, making him much stronger than before!

"It's done! It really is done!"

It would be a lie to say that Chu Yang wasn't excited.

This was his first real breakthrough! And he truly succeeded!

This means that all his plans and intentions can continue to be implemented! They are bound to succeed!

brush!

His mind raced.

Mysterious Iron Body Technique (Minor Success 1/1000)

"Now that my Qi and blood are stronger, it means I can withstand more internal energy and Qi and blood. As a result, my ability to refine and absorb medicinal and dietary supplements will be stronger, and my efficiency in practicing the Fierce Tiger Stance and Tiger Roar Fist will be higher..."

"From now on, dedicate one hour of your three-hour evening cultivation time to practicing the Fierce Tiger Stance! Internal energy is fundamental! It's the key to advancing your martial arts realm!"

"In this way, the stronger my internal energy, the greater the protective effect of the Xuan Tie Body Technique will be, and the greater the power of the Tiger Roar Fist will be. Otherwise, no matter how skilled the techniques are, without sufficient internal energy to drive them, they will ultimately lack greater offensive and defensive capabilities!"

"However, it seems that my need for medicinal and dietary supplements has increased these days..."

Before Chu Yang's Xuan Tie Body Technique reached the minor completion stage, he could sustain himself for a whole morning of cultivation the next day after taking the medicinal liquid and cultivating for one night.

However, he could now clearly feel that the medicinal power in his body had decreased significantly compared to before, and was obviously not enough to sustain him for the entire morning of the next day.

"However, forcing myself to continue cultivating should be fine, relying on my own qi and blood. Let's give it a try!"

After making his plans, Chu Yang washed himself and went to rest.

Of course, before going to bed, he opened the hidden compartment again, took out a bottle of medicine, and carried it with him.

As for banknotes, it's best to carry them with you at all times. Firstly, they're safer, and secondly, they're convenient for purchasing supplies.

However, just as he was closing the hidden compartment, he caught a glimpse of one of the small porcelain bottles.

That was obtained from bandits.

Recalling his past interactions with the bandits, Chu Yang concluded that the porcelain bottle likely contained some kind of poison.

The bandit wanted to poison himself, but he didn't get the chance.

"However, I'm not sure what kind of poison this is. Otherwise, carrying it with me would be an extra layer of self-defense..."

Chu Yang thought to himself.

However, just as he put the porcelain bottle back into the hidden compartment, his hand touched the rough and uneven area below the edge of the bottle.

He immediately retrieved the porcelain bottle and examined it carefully by the light.

Sure enough, there were three characters on it.

"Cartilage Powder".

Chu Yang's eyes flickered.

When he hung out with Feng Zixian and Meng De, he heard some things.

I've also heard that a notorious womanizer used a muscle-relaxing powder to inflict serious damage on food, incapacitating a large family in a neighboring county, including a martial artist with internal strength.

Afterwards, the womanizer raped and abused all the women in his family.

That incident became a shameful memory that the family could never recount.

"However, even the 'softening bone powder' varies in strength; I wonder how potent this particular powder is..."

Thinking about all this, Chu Yang suddenly had an idea and came up with a solution.
