At present, Li Changsheng's cultivation could only be considered Initial Iron Bone. Beyond that lay Minor Accomplishment Iron Bone, Major Accomplishment Iron Bone, and Perfection Realm Iron Bone.

He did not lack Tiger Bone Secret Medicine now, but he lacked High-grade Bone Refining Martial Arts. It would be somewhat difficult to break through quickly. He wanted to swiftly complete his Iron Bone Realm cultivation, then advance to the Bronze Bone Realm and even the Silver Bone Realm.

Now, only by obtaining several High-grade Bone Refining Martial Arts and raising the Demon Slaying Dao Fruit to Level 2 could his cultivation improve faster.

Day after day passed. Li Changsheng still could not obtain a High-grade Bone Refining Martial Art, so he could only first improve the iron bones throughout his body.

With the aid of large quantities of Flawless Tiger Bone Secret Medicine, Li Changsheng's iron bone tempering was remarkably effective, and his progress was rapid. Before long, he broke through to Major Accomplishment Iron Bone throughout his body, and his strength rose another notch.

Yet he was naturally not very satisfied with such a rate of progress. He wanted to advance even faster.

"Perhaps I can draw the Evil Demon Society's attention. If I can capture one of their members, I may have a chance of obtaining a High-grade Bone Refining Martial Art from him."

He felt that this method was feasible. Even if he truly encountered a powerful Evil Demon Society martial artist and was no match for them, with the defenses of Dragon Skin and the Azure Dragon Armor Technique, together with the Healing Dao Fruit, he would not be killed swiftly.

Thus, whenever he entered or left the Azure Steel Martial Hall or the Demon Suppression Division, he no longer changed his appearance. He believed that within a few days, he would surely draw the Evil Demon Society's attention.

Sure enough.

Li Changsheng's lack of discretion naturally caught the attention of the Evil Demon Society. Greedy Wolf Number Two, Number Three, and Number Four had nearly forgotten about Li Changsheng, since they had many matters to attend to as well. But now, they once again turned their attention to him.

"Number Three, you are in the First Turn Blood Changing Realm. Go capture Li Changsheng, but do not beat him to death. He is an Alchemist, after all, and still quite valuable to our Evil Demon Society. Moreover, he consumed Demon Worm Meat yet suffered no consequences. Perhaps he used some Secret Medicine method to kill the worm eggs within his body. We need to know why as well," Greedy Wolf Number Two said.

"Fine, I'll handle it personally!" Greedy Wolf Number Three replied.

A Blood Changing Realm cultivator dealing with a Bone Refining Realm cultivator was as easy as reaching into a bag and taking something out. There was no pressure at all.

That evening.

Li Changsheng walked down a silent street when a masked martial artist suddenly intercepted him. His attire was very similar to that of the Greedy Wolf Number Six whom Li Changsheng had killed before.

"Are you from the Evil Demon Society?"

Li Changsheng asked.

Greedy Wolf Number Three said coldly, "That's right. Greedy Wolf Number Six died by your hand, didn't he? He was careless and was ambushed and killed by you, but the gap between the Bone Refining Realm and the Blood Changing Realm is as vast as heaven and earth. Surrender, and you can suffer a little less."

Li Changsheng deliberately fled, running toward an alley beside the street. Greedy Wolf Number Three was extremely fast and quickly caught up with him.

In the blink of an eye, Greedy Wolf Number Three had arrived behind Li Changsheng. He used a claw technique and reached for Li Changsheng's shoulder.

But just as his hand was about to seize Li Changsheng's shoulder, Li Changsheng abruptly stopped, turned, and slammed into him. His tremendous force sent Greedy Wolf Number Three flying.

Immediately afterward, Li Changsheng unleashed a Vajra Leg strike, savagely kicking Greedy Wolf Number Three's legs. Relying on the terrifying defenses of Dragon Skin and the Azure Dragon Armor Technique, this blow snapped Greedy Wolf Number Three's legs while Li Changsheng himself was completely unharmed.

Li Changsheng then swiftly dislocated Greedy Wolf Number Three's arms as well, leaving him utterly incapable of resistance.

Afterward, Li Changsheng used several torture methods from his previous life on Greedy Wolf Number Three, probing him for information, especially intelligence concerning ancient Bone Refining Martial Arts.

"Tell me. Where is your stronghold? Do you have any High-grade Bone Refining Martial Arts?"

Li Changsheng asked.

After a round of torture, Greedy Wolf Number Three still revealed some information.

First, their stronghold changed every ten days. They had no stable long-term base, and they were merely outer members of the Evil Demon Society. The true inner members all possessed Viscera Realm cultivation or cultivation Above Viscera Realm.

As for High-grade Bone Refining Martial Arts, they did indeed have them. Greedy Wolf Number Three had one in his home.

"Where is your home?" Li Changsheng continued to press.

Greedy Wolf Number Three was still very afraid of death. In order to survive, he could only reveal the location of his home.

Afterward, Li Changsheng carried Greedy Wolf Number Three and swiftly headed to his home. It was also a small courtyard residence. Li Changsheng inspected it and entered only after confirming that there were no traps. He found several martial art manuals inside, including a High-grade Bone Refining Martial Art, a Top-tier Mid-grade Tendon Refining Martial Art, and a Top-tier Mid-grade Blood Changing Martial Art.

"You don't have High-grade Tendon Refining Martial Arts or High-grade Blood Changing Martial Arts?" Li Changsheng asked doubtfully. "Shouldn't it be easy for your Evil Demon Society to exchange for High-grade Martial Arts?"

Greedy Wolf Number Three hastily explained, "Li Changsheng, High-grade Tendon Refining Martial Arts and High-grade Blood Changing Martial Arts are already difficult to cultivate, and their resource requirements are extremely high. Even after cultivating a High-grade Bone Refining Martial Art, I failed to achieve Silver Bone, so naturally I did not exchange for High-grade Tendon Refining Martial Arts. I only exchanged for Top-tier Mid-grade Tendon Refining Martial Arts and Mid-grade Blood Changing Martial Arts. Spare me, I've already told you everything!"

Crack!

Li Changsheng struck his neck with a punch, directly shattering it and extinguishing his life, killing him.

Then, he took all of those martial arts manuals and returned home.

"High-grade Bone Refining Martial ArtTiger Skin Bone Refining Fist!"

Li Changsheng carefully studied this High-grade Bone Refining Martial Art. It involved a total of one hundred and eight bones. Once he cultivated this High-grade Bone Refining Martial Art, he could easily raise those one hundred and eight bones to the Bronze Bone Realm.

Over the following days, with the aid of large quantities of Flawless Tiger Bone Secret Medicine, he easily cultivated the Tiger Skin Bone Refining Fist and rapidly gained an initial grasp of it.

With enough Flawless Tiger Bone Secret Medicine, his one hundred and eight iron bones swiftly reached the Perfection Realm. However, his other iron bones were cultivated using Top-tier Mid-grade Bone Refining Martial Arts, so their rate of progress was slightly slower. They would need a little more time to break through to Perfection Realm Iron Bone.

"What a pity I killed that Greedy Wolf Number Three. When the Evil Demon Society fails to see him return, they will surely be on guard. Moreover, there are Viscera Realm martial artists in the Evil Demon Society's stronghold. I am still no match for Viscera Realm martial artists, so I cannot simply charge in and kill them."

"Besides, that stronghold should have been abandoned after Greedy Wolf Number Three's death. They must have changed strongholds as well!" Li Changsheng was well aware of the Evil Demon Society's power. If he offended them too deeply now, it would not be a good thing for him. He had no powerful backing.

If the Evil Demon Society spared no expense to kill him, his little method of changing his appearance would be of no use whatsoever. The Evil Demon Society could easily find him and kill him.

Thus, he did not dare continue killing Evil Demon Society members.

Some more time passed, and Li Changsheng's other iron bones also broke through to the Perfection Realm one after another. He had now become a martial artist with Perfection Realm Iron Bone throughout his entire body, only one step away from breaking through to the Bronze Bone Realm.
