Time passed like a white colt galloping past a crack.
More than ten days flew by in the blink of an eye.
The river flows wide as the plains, the moon surges like the great river.
As they drew closer to the Star River Sect's territory, the river grew wider and its currents calmer.
At the same time, the scenery on both banks gradually became more prosperous.
From the desolate wilderness and mountains of before, where no people could be seen, more and more villages and towns began to appear.
The number of boats traveling on the river also increased.
And at this moment, Fang Hong sat cross-legged at the bow of the boat.
He looked at the manual he had written himself with a somewhat strange expression.
The manual was not thick, only a dozen pages.
On the cover page, in a very modernist script, were written several large characters.
"Body Refinement - Muscle Chapter."
Following the cultivation realm order of this world, after more than ten days of deep thought and wild imagination, Fang Hong had finally created a technique that could be recorded by his golden finger panel.
Fang Hong actually preferred to call Body Refinement - Muscle Chapter the "Muscle True Scripture."
But that name was too embarrassing.
In the end, Fang Hong decided to be more low-key.
Well, his Muscle True Scripture combined scientific training methods from his past life with the current methods of tempering qi and blood with inner strength.
Human muscles are mainly composed of muscle tissue.
Muscle cells are slender and fibrous in shape, so muscle cells are commonly called muscle fibers.
The muscles in the human body are composed of about 6 billion muscle fibers.
Fang Hong's ambition was vast, and he started creating the technique directly from muscle fibers.
Unfortunately, he didn't know if this version of the technique was too heaven-defying, but the golden finger simply didn't acknowledge it and wouldn't record it.
Ridiculous!
Fang Hong felt that the problem wasn't with the content of his technique, but rather that his technique was too far ahead of its time.
After all, his current strength was too weak, and he couldn't even sense the existence of muscle fibers.
So Fang Hong took a step back and switched to using the more clearly visible muscle groups that could be seen with the naked eye.
And specifically, skeletal muscle among the muscles.
Because muscles can be divided into skeletal muscle, smooth muscle, and cardiac muscle based on their structure and function.
The latter two are distributed entirely within the body and are not all connected to bones.
Therefore, they are extremely difficult to train.
Skeletal muscle, which attaches to bones at both ends, is the muscle that is relatively easier to train.
There are approximately 639 skeletal muscles in the human body.
The current focus of Fang Hong's created Muscle True Scripture is to temper these 639 skeletal muscles.
Once all of them are tempered and strengthened, Fang Hong's strength will surge to a terrifying level.
Combined with the explosive power of inner strength, strength, and technique.
His true strength will also increase to an unimaginable level.
The fact that the golden finger panel recorded this technique proved that Fang Hong's idea was correct.
And since the golden finger had recorded the technique, it meant he could start cultivating this technique he had created.
However, Fang Hong was very hesitant at this moment.
Because his Muscle True Scripture had a grand scope, and its successful cultivation would lead to a significant increase in strength.
This also meant that a huge amount of energy would be consumed when advancing in the cultivation realm of the technique.
He was unsure if the precious medicines he had accumulated so far, along with the Water Origin Spirit Liquid, could support it.
If possible, he still wanted to save the spirit liquid to use after joining the Star River Sect.
But looking at the first technique he had successfully created, he was really itching to try it.
This was a technique he had created himself, so why not try cultivating it to see the effect?
The golden finger had already recorded it.
It meant his technique was theoretically feasible and had no problems.
There should be no issues with cultivating it.
After a moment of hesitation, Fang Hong finally made up his mind.
Cultivate!
He absolutely had to cultivate!
This was the very first technique he had created himself.
If he didn't try it out immediately, he would be incredibly antsy.
Even if it meant consuming a significant amount of Water Origin Spirit Liquid.
It wouldn't matter even if he used it all up.
Using it sooner or later was still using it.
It would all be converted into an increase in his own strength anyway.
As for what to do about energy for cultivation after joining the Star River Sect, he'd figure that out when the time came.
And there was another point.
He was already close to the Star River Sect's territory, just not at their actual location yet.
If his strength increased significantly now, it should still be somewhat helpful for joining the Star River Sect later.
Therefore, cultivate!
With that thought, Fang Hong no longer hesitated.
He immediately had the boatman stop at a nearby shore.
Thanks to the golden finger's effect, the time he needed to cultivate wasn't long.
It wouldn't be too late to continue afterward.
After getting ashore, the boatman rested by the river, while Fang Hong found a spot to cultivate.

The moment his cultivation realm broke through, over half of Fang Hong's robust vitality was instantly drained.
His face turned incredibly pale, and his aura became extremely weak.
But his muscles, like overinflated balloons, began to swell wildly.
Weak and starving to the extreme, Fang Hong directly took out a small porcelain bottle filled with Water Origin Spirit Liquid and drank half of it in one gulp.
The half bottle of Water Origin Spirit Liquid, upon entering Fang Hong's stomach, rapidly transformed into streams of vast, gentle energy that surged into his muscles throughout his body.
A moment later, after his vitality had slightly recovered, Fang Hong, whose face was still somewhat pale, began cultivating again.

Subsequently, breaking through from Minor Accomplishment to Major Accomplishment in the Muscle Chapter consumed two bottles of Water Origin Spirit Liquid from Fang Hong.
[Body Refinement - Muscle Chapter: Major Accomplishment (99/100)]
The moment Fang Hong finished his final cultivation session and his technique realm advanced to the Perfected stage.
Fang Hong's entire body's muscles expanded to their absolute limit.
At this moment, Fang Hong looked like a giant ball of flesh.
More accurately, a giant ball of muscle.
His muscles twisted and swelled to the extreme, forming protrusions like fleshy tumors.
Meanwhile, his consciousness had completely immersed itself in that pitch-black mental space.
He cultivated frantically, without fatigue, without regard for the passage of time, relentlessly tempering all 639 of his skeletal muscles.
After an unknown amount of time, his consciousness suddenly snapped back.
The moment he regained consciousness.
Fang Hong didn't even have time to form a thought.
He directly forced two small porcelain bottles, filled with Water Origin Spirit Liquid, into his mouth.
The next moment, the Water Origin Spirit Liquid swallowed into his stomach directly transformed into a massive surge of energy, distributing itself throughout his body.
Immediately after, Fang Hong's body, which resembled a giant ball of flesh covered in muscular tumors, began to contract and expand repeatedly.
Woooo!!!
A surging, sharp, and piercing sound gradually arose.
Streams of heat madly erupted from Fang Hong's pores.
It was like boiling steam.
