Unexpected Gains, Half a Muscle Refining Realm Art!

"Zhou Shen? Why is he looking for me?" Su Xian frowned.

He never had any dealings with Zhou Shen and didn't know why he was looking for him.

Su Xian opened the door, and Zhou Shen looked at him and said, "Did you go to the Blazing Sun Martial Arts School to train?"

Upon hearing this, Su Xian looked at Zhou Shen, his expression calm, and asked, "What's wrong? What do you want?"

Zhou Shen gave a wry smile, then stared straight at Su Xian, saying word by word:

"Do you want to obtain the cultivation method after the Skin Grinding Realm!"

"You? You have a Muscle Forging Realm cultivation method?"

Su Xian sized up Zhou Shen and then shook his head, clearly not believing him.

"Eighty taels of silver, my parents left behind a family cultivation method!"

"Although it's only the first half, it's enough to cultivate to the peak of the Muscle Forging Realm!"

"As long as you gather eighty taels of silver, I'll give you that cultivation method!"

Zhou Shen gritted his teeth and spoke. He hadn't thought about selling the cultivation method on the black market, but the black market was too dangerous. With his strength, he would just be asking to be robbed.

"Eighty taels?"

Su Xian frowned, looked at Zhou Shen, and thought carefully. Zhou Shen's parents seemed to be martial artists too, but he didn't know their specific cultivation levels.

"Are you sure it can cultivate to the peak of the Muscle Forging Realm?"

Su Xian asked again. Given Zhou Shen's gambling addiction, it was hard for Su Xian to believe his words.

"Of course! My father told me!" Zhou Shen quickly replied!

"I definitely don't have 80 taels."

"However, I have seven taels of silver here. I can use it as a deposit, and you can let me flip through that cultivation method!"

"If it's real! I can make up the rest of the silver later."

Su Xian looked at Zhou Shen in front of him and made a suggestion.

At the same time, Su Xian made up his mind. If Zhou Shen dared to lie to him, he would beat him up and snatch back the seven taels of silver.

After all, Zhou Shen wasn't even a martial artist. Taking back the silver would be easy.

"This..."

Hearing Su Xian's suggestion, Zhou Shen hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and agreed.

"Fine! Give me seven taels of silver! I'll let you look through it!"

"That cultivation method is absolutely real! It's just that I can't cultivate it myself! Otherwise, I wouldn't be thinking of selling it to you!"

Su Xian took out seven taels of silver from his embrace, threw it to Zhou Shen, and said calmly, "Lead the way!"

Zhou Shen looked at the seven taels of silver, his face lit up with joy. He quickly took it and put it in his embrace.

"Okay, okay, okay, follow me!"

Zhou Shen nodded frantically, then led Su Xian to his home.

Arriving at Zhou Shen's home, Su Xian stood in the courtyard and looked around.

Zhou Shen's house did look much better than Su Xian's room. They must have had some money in the past.

"What a pity, Zhou Shen is a gambler!" Su Xian looked at Zhou Shen in front of him and shook his head slightly in his heart.

Gamblers were not worthy of sympathy.

"Wait here for a moment, I'll go get it for you right away!"

After saying that, Zhou Shen turned and entered the room, closing the door behind him.

Su Xian naturally didn't wait in place. Instead, he circulated his qi and blood, enhancing his hearing to listen to every movement in the room.

What if Zhou Shen planned to run away with the money? Su Xian had to be on guard.

If Zhou Shen really intended to run, Su Xian would have to catch him as quickly as possible.

Fortunately, Zhou Shen didn't run. After making some noise in the room, he pushed the door open and came out not long after.

"Here! You can only look through it once!" Zhou Shen reluctantly handed the secret manual to Su Xian.

Su Xian took it and looked. On the secret manual, there were eight large characters: Dragon Tiger Marrow Forging Tendon Refining Secret Manual!

Su Xian quickly flipped through it once, then checked the Demon Strategy.

Demon Lord: Su Xian

Cultivation Methods: First-grade Pure Yang Art (Mastered), Third-grade Dragon Tiger Marrow Forging Tendon Refining Secret Manual (Incomplete - can only cultivate to the peak of Muscle Forging Realm!) Not yet initiated.

The Dragon Tiger Marrow Forging Tendon Refining Secret Manual had been recorded!

"It's actually real!"

Su Xian was secretly surprised, he didn't expect Zhou Shen's family to actually have such a cultivation technique!

Afterward, Su Xian returned the secret manual in his hand to Zhou Shen.

Watching Su Xian flip through it so quickly, Zhou Shen couldn't help but be stunned.

He had thought that when Su Xian said "flip through it once," he meant to read it carefully.

So it was this fast! Could he really understand anything from reading it so quickly?

Zhou Shen took back the secret manual and couldn't help but ask doubtfully, "Are you sure you just looked at it once like that?"

"Yeah, that's enough. This secret manual is indeed a treasure. Do you know where the other half of this manual is?"

Su Xian asked. If he could find the other half of the manual, then Su Xian wouldn't have to worry about cultivation techniques for the time being.

"I don't know! When my father passed it down to me, it was only half! I asked my father about it before, but I didn't get any clues," Zhou Shen shook his head.

"Right, how much money do you owe that guy Zhang Zuo? What do you need eighty taels of silver for?"

Su Xian suddenly asked.

Zhou Shen's expression froze upon hearing this, and then a wry smile appeared:

"It's not much I owe him, but I owe the casino much more, totaling over a hundred taels of silver."

Su Xian's brow furrowed upon hearing this. Over a hundred taels of silver was not a small sum. He looked at Zhou Shen:

"I advise you not to gamble anymore! Otherwise, you'll only sink deeper!"

After speaking, Su Xian turned and left.

Watching Su Xian leave, Zhou Shen was stunned and didn't call out to Su Xian to discuss the remaining seventy-three taels.

He had looked at it so quickly and given him seven taels of silver, so he had still made a profit!

"Sigh!"

Zhou Shen sighed, clenched his fists, his eyes filled with immense anger!

If that casino hadn't set a trap, he wouldn't have lost so much!

Zhou Shen glanced at the houses around him, then at the secret manual in his hand.

He planned to use the seven taels of silver Su Xian gave him to buy some brushes, ink, paper, and inkstones to copy the secret manual in his hand!

If he had no other choice, he would prepare to go to the black market and sell the copied secret manual!

Su Xian returned home with a smile. Seven taels of silver for a cultivation technique that could be cultivated to the peak of the Muscle Forging Realm was a complete steal!

Su Xian checked the information of the Dragon Tiger Marrow Forging Tendon Refining Secret Manual. As expected, it was a third-grade technique. Although it was only the "Fierce Tiger Forging Muscle" chapter, it was profound enough!

"Demon Strategy, let me see your limits!" Su Xian thought to himself!

Then, Su Xian began to inject his lifespan into the Dragon Tiger Marrow Forging Tendon Refining Secret Manual.

[You have begun cultivating the Dragon Tiger Marrow Forging Tendon Refining Secret Manual! Although it is an incomplete technique, the various concepts contained within have benefited you greatly!]

[You circulate your vital energy and blood using the Fierce Tiger Forging Muscle chapter, tempering your flesh and blood all over your body, day and night!]

[Tenth year: You have finished tempering the flesh and blood of your hands and feet!]

[Twentieth year: You have finished tempering the flesh and blood of your torso!]

[Twenty-fifth year: You have finished tempering all parts of your body except your head!]

[Thirtieth year! You have finished tempering all parts of your body except your brain! You have finally touched that sliver of a bottleneck!]

[Finally, the thirty-seventh year! You have broken through the bottleneck! Your cultivation has broken through to the early stage of the Muscle Forging Realm! Your lifespan has increased by 10 years!]

In an instant, Su Xian's aura changed!

With a roar! His vital energy and blood surged throughout his body!

His cultivation had reached the early stage of the Muscle Forging Realm!
