Marrow Refinement, Blood Replacement! Zhao Tianchen's Utter Shock!

The next day, inside the Star River Sect, at the wooden house on Eagle Beak Cliff.

In the small courtyard in front of the wooden house, where various rare flowers and exotic plants were grown.

Fang Hong was diligently practicing the "Southern Dipper Body Shaping Method" he had obtained from his cheap master yesterday.

The Big Dipper governs death, while the Southern Dipper governs life!

The Southern Dipper Body Shaping Method cultivates unending vitality.

It strengthens the body's qi and blood, and enhances inner vitality.

Besides its extremely powerful effects of tempering the body and qi/blood, its more important function is actually body nourishment.

It nurtures the body, heals hidden injuries, and extends lifespan.

In reality, this Southern Dipper Body Shaping Method is not the original version.

It was adapted and created by a certain powerful figure from the Myriad Star Lineage, based on a cultivation technique from Bright Moon Peak that neared the Heaven Realm.

That cultivation technique was called the Great Yin Body Shaping Method.

It was an incredibly marvelous technique.

However, the threshold for cultivation was too high, which led that powerful figure from the Myriad Star Lineage to create this top-tier body tempering technique for forging the physical body, using it as a blueprint.

Hummm~~

At this moment, Fang Hong suddenly transitioned from movement to stillness, his pores closing tightly, with no leakage of qi or blood.

Yet, all the muscles in his body were constantly trembling.

This trembling force from his muscles continuously gathered, transforming into a peculiar kind of inner strength that relentlessly tempered his bones, delving deep into their core.

The cultivation realm displayed on the panel before his eyes instantly changed.

Fang Hong directly took out a bottle of Qi Replenishing Pills, pouring them all into his mouth and swallowing them whole.

The moment they entered his abdomen, the pills transformed into powerful energy, rapidly replenishing Fang Hong's qi and blood, which were being constantly drained.

Accompanying the diffusion and circulation of energy within his body.

An intensely itchy sensation spread from the depths of Fang Hong's bones.

Fang Hong's face was filled with excitement, but the muscles around his eyes twitched uncontrollably due to the itchiness originating from the depths of his bones.

"Finally promoted to the Marrow Refinement realm. It's just that the sensation of marrow refinement is truly unbearable."

Fang Hong endured the discomfort with difficulty, thinking to himself.

However, despite the discomfort, he had finally broken through to the Marrow Refinement realm.

The Marrow Refinement realm is closely related to the subsequent Blood Replacement realm.

As the saying goes, "Marrow refined like frost, blood refined like mercury."

After advancing to the Marrow Refinement realm, both qi, blood, and inner strength become significantly more powerful.

Simultaneously, due to the unique role of bone marrow.

Once martial artists reach the Marrow Refinement realm, their self-healing and immunity capabilities become incredibly formidable.

Wounds stop bleeding instantly, and they become immune to a hundred poisons!

Meanwhile, at the entrance of the wooden house, Zhao Tianchen, who had been sitting on a stool, was now so shocked that he had fallen onto the ground.

His old face, etched with wrinkles, was now a mask of utter astonishment, frozen like a statue.

Zhao Tianchen had been watching from the side since Fang Hong began cultivating this morning.

When Fang Hong first started practicing, his progress was rapid, and breaking through consecutive realms was one thing.

Although the Southern Dipper Body Shaping Method was a top-tier body tempering technique, Fang Hong had already been a martial artist at the Bone Refinement Great Accomplishment stage before, possessing a certain foundation, and his physical body had already undergone considerable tempering.

He had simply considered Fang Hong a genius.

After all, from Fang Hong's formidable physical strength and surging qi and blood, one could tell that his foundation was incredibly deep.

But Zhao Tianchen had never imagined.

That Fang Hong could break through to the Marrow Refinement realm so quickly.

Bone marrow is located deep within all the bones of the body, and tempering it is extremely difficult.

But what had he just witnessed?

His own disciple, after diligently practicing for nearly a hundred repetitions.

Had inexplicably broken through!

It was as if he was just playing around!

Is this how you break through realms?

Zhao Tianchen felt as if his worldview had been completely overturned.

For all these years of traveling and building up his understanding, it felt like a crack had formed in his perception at this very moment.

Gulp~

Zhao Tianchen swallowed, trying his best to suppress the astonishment within him.

"Hong'er..."

Just as Zhao Tianchen was about to speak, the words still in his mouth, He saw Fang Hong begin cultivating again.

[Southern Dipper Body Shaping Method: Fourth Layer (1/100)]

[Southern Dipper Body Shaping Method: Fifth Layer (0/100)]

Gurgle gurgle gurgle—

A strong sound of blood flow emanated from Fang Hong's body.

His skin turned incredibly red, and his surface veins bulged out roughly, like tangled tree roots and steel cables all over his body.

Fang Hong's eyes widened in fury, his pupils bloodshot.

Streams of foul-smelling waste blood were continuously expelled from every pore of his body, and even from his eyes, ears, nose, and mouth.

Fang Hong abruptly stuffed all three bottles of Qi Replenishing Pills into his mouth.

His throat swelled directly from the sheer volume of pills.

But Fang Hong seemed unfazed, his face flushed red as he forcefully swallowed them down with great difficulty.

Thump~~

Zhao Tianchen, who had just calmed his astonishment and sat back down on his chair, Upon seeing this sight, immediately fell off his stool again.

His face was filled with a shocked expression, as if he had seen a ghost.

"Blood Replacement Realm!"

"Impossible, impossible?!"

"How could he possibly break through to the Blood Replacement Realm so quickly?!"

Zhao Tianchen exclaimed, his face full of shock, even horror.

At this moment, he was still holding a clump of his beard in his hand.

He had been stroking his beard just moments ago, but upon seeing this, he had pulled it out in his shock.

However, his mind was now completely consumed by Fang Hong's breakthrough to the Blood Replacement Realm.

He no longer felt the pain of having his beard plucked from his chin.

Then, before Zhao Tianchen could even recover from his boundless shock, Fang Hong had already started cultivating again.

Fang Hong had no intention of suppressing his cultivation.

If he had a sufficiently profound cultivation technique and ample energy supply, he would have loved to cultivate to his peak right now, to become the number one under heaven.

Unfortunately, that idea was not feasible for the moment.

But now, he had the backing of his powerful master, Zhao Tianchen.

He also had a sufficiently exquisite cultivation technique to practice, and ample pills as an energy supplement.

Woohoo~

Never had he had such a wonderful start!

Cheer for me! Applaud me!

This opportunity won't come again if missed, so why not cultivate until I can't cultivate anymore!

Therefore, Fang Hong naturally seized the time, not wasting a single moment, and continued to cultivate.

The Southern Dipper Body Shaping Method was enough for him to cultivate to the peak of Organ Refinement.

After that, he could learn the Star Array Dao of Myriad Star Peak.

And then, he would proceed to cultivate that Star Body Forging Treasure Art!

His cheap master had mentioned before that the Star River Sect was not lacking in heavenly treasures related to energy.

Judging from his master's confident and assured tone.

Fang Hong felt that he would not be lacking in energy-replenishing treasures at that time.

This time, he was absolutely going to soar to the heavens.

After all, that Star Treasure Art could allow cultivators to directly bypass the Earth Realm and break through to the Heaven Realm with their physical bodies.

However, once he reached the Heaven Realm, the Star River Sect's help would likely not be as significant as it was now.

Although the Star River Sect was as famous as the Crimson Spirit Sect within Tianhe Prefecture, both being top-tier sects.

If you looked at the entire Wei Kingdom, however.

The Star River Sect could only be considered a mid-to-upper-tier second-rate sect.

After all, the Star River Sect's current strongest member, the Sect Master, seemed to only be at the Heaven Realm level.

Furthermore, after he broke through to the Heaven Realm, the energy required for further cultivation and breakthroughs would likely be immense.

It was estimated that the Star River Sect would struggle to continuously supply it.

Therefore, this current period was probably the stage where his strength would increase most dramatically.

Once he broke through to the Heaven Realm, his rate of improvement would likely plummet, and he might even stagnate for a while.

With this in mind, Fang Hong didn't dare waste any more time.

If he wanted to take off, the sooner the better.

In case any unforeseen circumstances arose later, he would have the corresponding strength to protect himself or handle them.

No matter what else, firmly grasping the most important factor – strength – in his hands was the safest bet!
