: Rapid Progress, Bone Refinement Perfected!

Immediately, Lu Ze circulated the internal energy of the Nine Yang Divine Skill to temper his body, remove the poison, and recover from physical fatigue.

After a quarter of an hour, his fatigue and the poison from the pills disappeared. He then took out a low-grade essence pill, swallowed it again, and began practicing the Nine Forms of Bone Refining.

An hour later, Lu Ze checked his attribute panel and found that his Bone Refinement skill had reached 27% and was in its initial stage.

Not bad, no drug resistance has appeared, which is probably due to the effect of the attribute panel.

After all, this attribute panel shows that effort brings rewards, cultivation leads to progress, and the medicinal properties of the pills are squeezed to the extreme, almost completely refined!

Resistance to damage is practically non-existent!

It was nearing evening when Lu Ze prepared to go to the Xu family's house, not to go to work, but to resign.

Now that he has plenty of money, he naturally won't do that time-wasting job anymore.

Just then, Lu Xuan excitedly got out of bed, came to Lu Ze's side, and said, "Second Brother, I did it!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Ze used his Nine Yang Internal Force to probe her dantian and indeed found a faint trace of internal force.

She broke through the Qi Sensing Realm and condensed internal energy so quickly; it seems my sister has quite a talent for internal energy cultivation.

Lu Ze thought for a moment, then said, "Continue to gather your inner strength. Stop cultivating when you're hungry. I'll come back and teach you about meridians and acupoints. Also, you mustn't tell anyone about your internal energy cultivation, not even your parents, understand?"

In this world, internal energy cultivation is clearly a tradition passed down only by large families; martial arts schools almost exclusively teach qi and blood cultivation techniques. Revealing it rashly would inevitably be dangerous.

Upon hearing this, Lu Xuan nodded and said, "Second Brother, don't worry, I would never tell!"

Immediately, Lu Ze left home and quickly arrived at the Xu family's residence, where he met with Butler Wu and explained his purpose.

Butler Wu was not surprised by this. A disciple personally taught by the master of a martial arts school must be a genius with extraordinary talent, and naturally he would not stay in the Xu family as an ordinary guard.

Therefore, he had his servant give Lu Ze 10 taels of silver, saying, "Young Master Lu, I was actually planning to promote you, but I know the Xu family is too small to accommodate a hidden talent like you. This 10 taels of silver is a small token of my appreciation."

"Thank you for your kindness, Butler Wu. I will accept it."

Lu Zeken accepted the money, hoping to maintain a friendly relationship with the Xu family.

After all, in the Xu family's view, if you refuse to accept the money, does that mean you have a bad impression of the Xu family?

Soon after, Lu Ze returned home, and his parents, Lu Cheng and Liu Yumei, also returned home.

At this moment, Lu Ze took out 50 taels of silver and handed it to Lu Cheng, saying, "Father, Mother, I can earn money to support the family now. You don't need to work so hard anymore. Quit your jobs and just stay home to cultivate."

He was preparing to pass on the Nine Yang Divine Skill to the two elders.

Although I'm old and started cultivating a bit late, I'm sure I have elixirs that can improve my bones and muscles.

In addition, he could try to enhance the Yi Jin Duan Gu chapter of the Nine Yin Manual to improve his aptitude.

Lu Cheng shook his head and said, "Son, I understand your filial piety, but we can't just sit around and do nothing. You need a lot of money to practice martial arts. Your mother and I are getting old, so we won't join in this kind of thing. We have friends outside, and we feel uneasy if we don't work at home."

Seeing that his parents insisted, Lu Ze did not try to persuade them further and could only wait and see.

Fortunately, his current strength is not yet sufficient, so he should not rashly display his wealth.

Immediately, his parents started cooking, while Lu Ze cultivated the Nine Yang Divine Skill, purifying his internal energy, tempering his body, clearing away the poison, and repairing minor damage to his body.

The cultivation of Qi and Blood Martial Arts is too domineering, destroying the potential of the physical body. It often leaves subtle hidden injuries in the body. Over time, this causes the lifespan of the body-tempering martial artist to not only not increase, but to decrease.

Lu Ze cultivates both internal and external skills, and his Nine Yang Divine Skill has extremely strong healing properties, so it can naturally repair these hidden injuries and resolve potential problems.

Half an hour later, after finishing his meal, Lu Ze took out another Essence Pill and began practicing the Nine Forms of Bone Refining.

Meanwhile, in Jade Willow Town, at the Green Snake Gang's headquarters, in the study.

The gang leader, Chang Qing, sat cross-legged in meditation. After a while, he slowly finished his practice and opened his eyes.

At this moment, a middle-aged man in a yellow robe entered, clasped his hands in greeting, and said, "Chief, our Divine Edge Hall's Hall Master Xiong and several deacons went out hunting in the city, and now they have all gone missing!"

Chang Qing was slightly surprised upon hearing this, but not entirely unexpected. Hunting outside the city could certainly earn a lot of silver notes, but the risks were equally high. If they encountered monsters or vengeful ghosts, they would almost certainly die!

However, none of the eight members of the hunting party returned, which might be a problem.

Chang Qing thought for a moment and said, "You must be Dong Shuo, the deputy leader of Shenfeng Hall. You will temporarily take over as leader and handle affairs. Tomorrow, we will send people out of the city to investigate and find out if it was the work of a hunting team from another gang."

Dong Shuo clasped his hands in a fist and said, "Yes, Chief!"

……

An hour later, Lu Ze refined the essence pill's medicinal power, increasing his proficiency in the Bone Refining realm to 33%, which was not far from the minor success of Bone Refining.

At this time, around 8 p.m., Lu Ze used the internal energy of the Nine Yang Divine Skill to remove some of the pill poison and physical fatigue, took out a Essence Pill, and swallowed it again.

If you can't train to death, then train to death!

He hadn't forgotten the powerful threat posed by Song Linfeng and the Song family.

Compared to others, Chang Qing, the leader of the Green Snake Gang, is only a minor threat.

By dawn, Lu Ze had refined two Essence Pills, reaching the Bone Refining realm (45%, Minor Success).

At this time, he began to practice the Nine Yang Divine Skill to replace sleep.

The next morning, Lu Ze slowly finished his practice and checked his attribute panel. The Nine Yang Divine Skill (seventh level 2%) had not improved much, but the purity of his power had increased significantly.

He planned to continue taking the Limitless Immortal Pill in two days, once his internal energy was purified, to upgrade the Nine Yang Divine Skill to perfection.

Then you can strengthen the Nine Yang Divine Skill. Lu Ze checked and found that strengthening the Nine Yang Divine Skill only requires 30 Source Points.

Not long after, Lu Ze skipped breakfast and went to Butcher Li's house to harvest 1 source point. Then he found a noodle stall, ate two bowls of soup noodles, and went to the Black Tiger Martial Arts School to pay the ten taels of silver for his apprenticeship fee.

Then, he took out a Spirit Essence Pill and swallowed it, and began to cultivate the Nine Forms of Bone Refining.

To avoid revealing his advanced martial arts skills, Lu Ze only practiced the Nine Forms of Bone Refining at the martial arts school. In the afternoon, he would leave early to go to his second senior sister Zhao Yueling's house to spar with her and improve his proficiency with the Black Tiger Soul Blade and the Nine Transformations of Thunder.

In return, he passed on the Nine Transformations of Thunder to Zhao Yueling.

……

Two days later, in the evening.

Lu Ze slowly withdrew his fist and checked the attribute panel.

[Host]: Lu Ze

In just two days, Lu Ze refined a total of 10 Essence Pills, and his body tempering cultivation improved rapidly, reaching the perfection of bone tempering, and his single arm strength reached 2000!

In addition, with the blessing of mastering the Nine Yang Divine Skill, his various martial arts skills improved rapidly, his Qi-gathering secret technique for suppressing blood and qi was directly mastered, and even his lifespan was extended by one year.

However, most importantly, the Nine Yang Internal Force has been purified, and it's time to continue taking the Limitless Immortal Pill to further improve!
