Qi and Blood Tendon Refining Method!

The next instant!

Su Xian then threw his lifespan into the Dragon Tiger Marrow Forging Tendon Refining Secret Manual!

[You practice the Fierce Tiger Marrow Forging Chapter from the Dragon Tiger Marrow Forging Tendon Refining Secret Manual! You deeply temper your physical body with qi and blood! Your physical strength improves!]

[Year 28! Day after day, year after year, you temper your physical body with qi and blood! You finally elevate your cultivation to the mid-stage Marrow Forging Realm!]

[After the breakthrough, you do not rest for even a moment and continue practicing the Fierce Tiger Marrow Forging Chapter!]

[Year 65! After so many years of cultivation, you have long since brought the Fierce Tiger Marrow Forging Chapter to the realm of mastery! Your physical body has been tempered to become even more formidable! Your cultivation breaks through to the late-stage Marrow Forging Realm!]

[Year 108! You have elevated your qi and blood power to the point where it can no longer be raised, and you have tempered your entire body from head to toe to its limit! Your cultivation breaks through to the Perfection of the Marrow Forging Realm!]

Su Xian stopped, and in the span of a breath, the aura around him changed once more! His cultivation had reached the Perfection of the Marrow Forging Realm!

"Ah, refreshing!"

Su Xian could not help letting out a comfortable cry!

The aura of the Perfection of the Marrow Forging Realm burst forth fully from Su Xian's body!

"If I run into that fox demon from earlier again, I'll kill her with a single punch! Just one punch, and I can blow her head apart!"

Su Xian clenched his fists, feeling the incomparably formidable power within his body compared to before. He could not help crying out in wonder!

In a mere two days, he had transformed from a mortal with minor accomplishment in external arts into a peak second-rank martial artist at the Perfection of the Marrow Forging Realm!

Such speed was simply earth-shattering!

Although it had consumed several centuries of lifespan, it was of no consequence. Demons had abundant lifespans anyway!

Su Xian's eyes burned with fervor, and he was now somewhat eager to enter Green Dragon Mountain and slay demons!

Yet after thinking it over, he decided against it. The sky was already growing dark, and nighttime Green Dragon Mountain was by no means a place he could set foot in!

"Right, there's still thirty years of demon lifespan left!"

Su Xian suddenly remembered, and prepared to use those thirty years of demon lifespan to see whether he could figure out how to complete the latter half of the Dragon Tiger Marrow Forging Tendon Refining Secret Manual himself!

[You have already cultivated the first half of the Dragon Tiger Marrow Forging Tendon Refining Secret Manual to perfection! Your cultivation has also reached the Perfection of the Marrow Forging Realm! Yet you are plagued by a lack of subsequent techniques, leaving your cultivation with nowhere further to advance!]

[A flash of inspiration strikes you, and you begin pondering the subsequent cultivation techniques yourself, wishing to complete the Dragon Tiger Marrow Forging Tendon Refining Secret Manual!]

[You rack your brains for a long time. Thinking that since it is tendon refining, it should involve tempering the tendons throughout your body with qi and blood, you unhesitatingly urge your qi and blood to temper the tendons within your body!]

[Instantly, you feel as though your entire body is burning up! The tendons throughout your body are battered by the violent qi and blood! You are paralyzed!]

[One year later, you recover from your injuries! During this year, you carefully examine the tendons within your body! You discover that the tendons inside have indeed been tempered and strengthened to a certain extent!]

[You cannot help but be overjoyed! It seems your train of thought was correct, except that the qi and blood were too violent! Formidable control is required to avoid injuring the tendons!]

[Twenty years later! During this period, you practice controlling your qi and blood without cease, finally refining your control over your qi and blood to a level as fine as a strand of hair!]

[You begin tempering your tendons! You feel not a shred of pain! The tendons suffer no injuries whatsoever and are slowly strengthened! You cannot help but be overjoyed! It is indeed a success!]

[Congratulations! You have comprehended the qi and blood tendon-refining method!]

[Nine years later! The tendons throughout your body have been tempered to become increasingly resilient! During this period, you also gradually increase the concentration of qi and blood used to temper the tendons! It is a pity that your cultivation does not break through to the Tendon Refining Realm!]

The next instant, Su Xian felt the various tendons within his body become extremely resilient, while the transmission of force between his muscles and flesh became even more perfect!

He was capable of exerting even greater power than before!

"What a pity! The demon lifespan isn't enough! If you gave me a little more time, I could definitely temper the tendons in my body completely and break through to the Tendon Refining Realm!"

Su Xian muttered regretfully to himself. The remaining lifespan of this fox demon was still too short, insufficient to push him through to the Tendon Refining Realm!

Even though he had failed to break through to the Tendon Refining Realm, Su Xian had still reaped a massive harvest. His control over his internal qi and blood had nearly reached its ultimate limit!

Just as before, if he employed martial arts again, the consumption of qi and blood would be considerably lower!

That alone was enough to make his stamina far more enduring!

Su Xian shook his head and lay down on the bed.

The next day, before the sky had even brightened, Su Xian got up and headed toward the Blazing Sun Martial Arts School.

The martial arts school provided three meals a day, and for breakfast, Su Xian had to go before dawn. Otherwise, he feared he would not make it in time.

After becoming a martial artist, Su Xian's appetite grew even larger, but fortunately, the Blazing Sun Martial Arts School kept its people well fed!

That morning, Su Xian took a different path toward the Blazing Sun Martial Arts School. As soon as he entered the grounds, he sensed that the atmosphere inside the school was somewhat different.

"Senior Brother Cui Hao, do you know what happened?" Su Xian stepped forward and looked toward Cui Hao, who was standing off to the side.

Hearing this, Cui Hao sighed. "Song Zheng and Lin Yuan died last night. It looks like both of them had their life essence sucked dry by fox demons!"

"You need to be a little more careful! Blackwater County hasn't been very peaceful lately!"

"If possible, you could pay a little more silver to live inside the martial arts school. It's safer that way," Cui Hao reminded Su Xian.

"Thank you for the warning, Senior Brother. I understand." Su Xian nodded, his mind sinking into deep thought.

Had Lin Yuan's life essence really been sucked dry by the fox demon Su Xian killed, or had it been another fox demon?

If it was the former, that was easy enough to explain.

But if it was the latter, did that mean there were even more fox demons within Blackwater County?

Su Xian frowned. He had no idea how many fox demons lived in Blackwater County City!

After finishing breakfast, Cui Hao came over to Su Xian's side.

"Junior Brother, come, let me see how your proficiency with the Pure Yang Stance is coming along," Cui Hao said enthusiastically.

Hearing this, Su Xian smiled faintly, then assumed the posture of the Pure Yang Stance and began standing in stance!

"Not bad at all! It looks like you have good talent, Junior Brother! In just one day, you've practiced it to this level! It feels like you've already reached minor accomplishment!"

"It looks like you have a very good chance of cultivating it to perfection within a month and breaking through to the Skin Grinding Realm!"

Cui Hao was happy for Su Xian. Nowadays, Blackwater County was growing increasingly unpeaceful, and if Su Xian was truly taken in as a disciple by the master, his safety would undoubtedly improve by a large margin!

"Mm!"

Su Xian nodded with a calm expression. Among the three major factions in Blackwater County, the individuals with the highest cultivation were all martial artists at the Perfection of the Viscera Nourishing Realm. Their strength was exceedingly formidable!

Su Xian's original plan had been to display his Skin Grinding Realm cultivation around the fifteenth day, join the Blazing Sun Martial Arts School, and obtain the subsequent Marrow Forging Realm techniques.

However, circumstances had changed. He had already cultivated to the Perfection of the Marrow Forging Realm and had even comprehended the qi and blood tendon-refining method!

He was not far from the Tendon Refining Realm either!

With things turning out this way, Su Xian's desire to join the Blazing Sun Martial Arts School naturally became far weaker.

However, if he could acquire the bone-tempering and viscera-nourishing techniques of the Blazing Sun Martial Arts School's master, then becoming an apprentice would be no great concern!

"Junior Brother Su Xian, practice hard! Take advantage of being full and stand in the Pure Yang Stance a little longer! It's very effective!"

After offering his instructions, Cui Hao departed.
