Stone Skin Legs!

Li Changsheng's Azure Origin Secret Medicine and Hundred Refinement Secret Medicine had actually been low-grade Secret Medicines.

There was quite a large gap between low-grade and medium-grade Secret Medicines. The main difference was not impurities or Demonic Nature, but the difference in the energy contained after the medicinal properties had fused and transformed.

Of course, there were also differences in the amounts of impurities and Demonic Nature. The higher the quality of the Secret Medicine, the fewer impurities and less Demonic Nature it naturally contained.

"If I can refine medium-grade Secret Medicines, or even high-grade Secret Medicines, perhaps I can quickly break through to the Perfection Realm of the Stone Skin Realm. I might even cultivate other Skin Polishing Martial Arts and strive to transform the skin over my entire body into Stone Skin!"

At last, Li Changsheng saw hope for rapidly increasing his cultivation, as well as hope for achieving Stone Skin across his entire body.

In the days that followed, Li Changsheng devoted himself fully to refining Secret Medicines. The experience of his Medicine Refining Dao Fruit rose rapidly. At this rate, it would not be long before he could raise the Medicine Refining Dao Fruit to Level 2!

In the blink of an eye, a month passed.

By now, Li Changsheng had cultivated the Azure Origin Alchemy Technique to the Perfection Realm, and his Medicine Refining Dao Fruit had successfully broken through to Level 2. Vast amounts of alchemy knowledge flooded into his mind, and he mastered them one by one.

"With the abilities of a Level 2 Medicine Refining Dao Fruit, I should now have hope of refining high-grade White Spirit Secret Medicine!"

The Secret Medicines he had refined before had all been medium-grade. They were quite good, but he had never been able to refine high-grade White Spirit Secret Medicine.

Medium-grade Secret Medicines were naturally far inferior to high-grade Secret Medicines. Now, he could attempt to refine high-grade Secret Medicines.

He took out another set of materials, along with Demon Blood, and began refining White Spirit Secret Medicine.

This time, every step was smoother and more precise, with almost no mistakes. During the alchemy process, he controlled the flames and the fusion process extremely well, and nearly all the Demonic Nature was removed.

An hour later, the White Spirit Secret Medicine was finished.

When he opened the furnace and looked inside, its quality had indeed reached high-grade.

"Hahaha, I finally refined high-grade White Spirit Secret Medicine!"

Li Changsheng was exceedingly excited.

He divided the high-grade White Spirit Secret Medicine into ten portions, then continued refining more White Spirit Secret Medicine.

Over the next few days, he refined quite a number of high-grade White Spirit Secret Medicines. If other Alchemists learned that he could refine high-grade White Spirit Secret Medicine so easily, they would surely die of envy one after another!

Black Market.

Wearing a mask, Li Changsheng arrived at a shop—Black Sheep Pharmacy. This shop not only sold Secret Medicines, but also purchased them.

Of course, Black Sheep Pharmacy naturally sold unqualified Secret Medicines that did not even meet low-grade quality to people who knew nothing. But if one wanted to buy low-grade Secret Medicines, they sold those as well.

Li Changsheng had naturally come here to sell low-grade Secret Medicines. He had sold Secret Medicines here several times before, in order to earn money to buy medicinal ingredients and Demon Blood. Otherwise, he would not have had enough money this past month to purchase medicinal ingredients and Demon Blood.

This time, he planned to sell all the low-grade White Spirit Secret Medicine on him. In any case, he had no use for Secret Medicine of such quality.

As for medium-grade Secret Medicines, he did not dare sell them for now. Selling medium-grade White Spirit Secret Medicine in the Black Market would draw far too much attention.

"One hundred and thirty portions of low-grade White Spirit Secret Medicine, nine taels of silver per portion, for a total of one thousand one hundred and seventy taels of silver!" The manager of Black Sheep Pharmacy counted out several banknotes and pieces of loose silver, then handed them to Li Changsheng.

"Alright!"

After completing the transaction, Li Changsheng left.

Black Sheep Pharmacy could be considered a shady shop, but it was unlikely to offend an Alchemist. Thus, there would not be much of a problem with him selling Secret Medicines there.

Afterward, he bought some more Demon Blood before leaving the Black Market.

After returning home,

Li Changsheng did not continue refining medicine. Instead, he began cultivating the Skin Polishing Martial Art Azure Steel Hand to temper the skin of his hands. He was going to use high-grade White Spirit Secret Medicine to temper his skin.

He immediately applied high-grade White Spirit Secret Medicine to both hands and began cultivating Azure Steel Hand.

Boom!!!!

Streams of pure, powerful energy surged into his hands. The tempering effect vastly surpassed that of before. If he had enough high-grade White Spirit Secret Medicine, he could complete his breakthrough in a short time and become a martial artist at Stone Skin Perfection.

Six days later.

Li Changsheng directly completed his breakthrough. His Stone Skin transformed, and he became a martial artist at Stone Skin Perfection.

He did not continue charging toward the Iron Skin Realm. Only after achieving Stone Skin across his whole body before breaking through to the Iron Skin Realm could he forge the strongest foundation. Other martial artists did not dare do such a thing, because they could never accomplish it in their lifetimes.

But now, he had enough high-grade Secret Medicine. He truly had hope of cultivating all the skin on his body into Stone Skin, then raising it all to Stone Skin Perfection.

"It is time to cultivate the Skin Polishing Martial Art Wind Shadow Leg and temper the skin of my legs into Stone Skin!"

He applied two portions of high-grade White Spirit Secret Medicine to his legs, then used his qi and blood to temper his skin. Very quickly, his skin completed its transformation and formed Stone Skin.

The reason he broke through so quickly was that his qi and blood tempering had already reached a certain level. With the additional tempering of high-grade White Spirit Secret Medicine, he naturally broke through at once!

After his legs entered the Stone Skin Realm, he continued using high-grade White Spirit Secret Medicine to temper the skin of his legs, making it increasingly powerful. His physical constitution and qi and blood also rose.

A month later, Wind Shadow Leg reached Minor Mastery, and both his legs entered Stone Skin Perfection.

At this moment, both his hands and legs had reached Stone Skin Perfection. His aura was extremely powerful, and his combat strength was definitely greater than that of an ordinary Iron Skin Realm martial artist.

Yet at this point, he had no other Skin Polishing Martial Arts. He still needed to find specific Skin Polishing Martial Arts to cultivate all the skin over his body into Stone Skin.

"Master should have other Skin Polishing Martial Arts. I need to seek out Master!"

Li Changsheng arrived at Azure Steel Martial Hall and requested an audience with his master, Xu He.

His status at Azure Steel Martial Hall was not low now, so it was not difficult for him to meet his master, Xu He.

"Master," Li Changsheng said. "This disciple wishes to cultivate other Skin Polishing Martial Arts."

"Cultivate other Skin Polishing Martial Arts?" Xu He frowned. "What, is Azure Steel Hand not enough for you to cultivate? Your aptitude is not very good, so your comprehension must not be good either. Cultivating powerful martial arts is not necessarily a good thing. Azure Steel Hand is enough!"

Li Changsheng hurriedly explained, "Master, I have already reached Stone Skin Perfection, but I wish to cultivate Skin Polishing Martial Arts for other parts of my body!"

"You have reached Stone Skin Perfection?"

Xu He instantly made his move. Before Li Changsheng could react at all, he seized his right hand. After probing with his qi and blood, he finally confirmed that Li Changsheng had indeed reached Stone Skin Perfection.

"How did you do it?" Xu He was greatly shocked.

Li Changsheng explained, "Master, this disciple befriended an Alchemist and can buy medium-grade Secret Medicines from him. This disciple earns quite a bit from forging weapons and currently lacks no money, so I bought some medium-grade Secret Medicines. That is how I raised my cultivation to Stone Skin Perfection."

"Medium-grade Secret Medicines? That Alchemist must truly have a very good relationship with you. Otherwise, he would never sell such fine things to you!" Xu He said in surprise.

"Master, do you have Skin Polishing Martial Arts for other parts of the body?" Li Changsheng asked again.

"Could it be that you intend to walk the path of full-body Stone Skin? Even with the aid of medium-grade Secret Medicines, you cannot accomplish it with your aptitude. Besides, even if you achieve Stone Skin across your whole body, so what? There is still Iron Skin, Copper Skin. Could it be that you can achieve Copper Skin across your entire body as well? How many resources would that require? With that many resources, you could pile up several Bone Refining Realm martial artists!"

Xu He tried to persuade him.

"Master, this disciple merely wishes to temper a few more parts of my body and increase my strength somewhat!" Li Changsheng explained.
