Copper Skin

With the great accomplishment of Gold Jade Mo Pi Fa, Chen Mu felt much more at peace. In the following days, he still spent most of his time practicing Gold Jade Mo Pi Fa and practicing his saber in his backyard, rarely going to the City Guard, and rarely intervening in City Guard affairs.

In this way, nearly half a month passed again.

Chen Mu, who was planning to buy medicine again after his medicinal powder was exhausted, saw some Yamen Runners passing by in a hurry as soon as he went out. These Yamen Runners seemed to be busy with something, carrying corpses in twos and threes.

Seeing Chen Mu come out, although Chen Mu was not wearing a Yamen Runner uniform, they immediately recognized him and saluted one after another.

"Sir."

"What happened?"

Chen Mu glanced at the corpses carried by several people, frowned slightly and asked.

This place belongs to the central area of ​​Nine Stripes Ward. Not only is it very close to the City Guard, but there are also Yamen Runners patrolling day and night. The people who live in this area are basically squires with some money and power. Generally, there will be no murders.

"It's Zhang Xiang Shen's family, all twenty-three members are dead."

A Yamen Runner said in a low voice.

Chen Mu knew Zhang Xiang Shen. He had come to visit him some time ago and gave him some Moving gifts. It is said that his ancestors were officials. Although they gradually declined in the previous two generations, they are still a wealthy family in the local area.

Moreover, the place where he lived was only one street away from him. The whole family died all of a sudden, which made Chen Mu frown. Has the chaos of the world spread here?

Just as he was about to continue asking for details.

Suddenly a familiar figure appeared.

"Brother Chen."

Min Baoyi, wearing a Yamen Runner uniform, walked slowly from not far away, seemingly also for the Zhang Xiang Shen family's accident. He greeted Chen Mu and walked up to him.

Chen Mu responded, then walked side by side with Min Baoyi and asked, "Brother Min, what happened to Zhang Xiang Shen's family..."

"It's nothing serious, probably offended someone."

Min Baoyi said casually, then waved to the Yamen Runners carrying the corpses on the roadside, signaling them to come over.

The four Yamen Runners were carrying a very strong corpse. The corpse's skin was bronze in color, and it looked very strong. There were no bloodstains all over the body, only a little shallow bloodstain on the heart of his chest.

"Look."

Min Baoyi pointed to the wound and said to Chen Mu, "This person is Zhang Xiang Shen's third son. He has natural Copper Skin. After his Lian Rou is completed, it is three points stronger than ordinary Lian Rou. Sharp knives and swords are difficult to cut. This kind of person with a strong natural physique, even if five or six people of the same level besiege him, it is often difficult to take him down."

Chen Mu looked solemnly at the wound and said, "Such a person was killed with one blow."

"Yes."

Min Baoyi sighed, "This is a sword wound, killed with one blow, without any sloppiness. At least he has cultivated Sword Intent, and his muscles have reached the perfection realm, and his explosion is fierce and unparalleled, to be able to do this."

Chen Mu nodded slightly after hearing this.

This is already a person of Min Baoyi's level. It is basically impossible for him to do anything as a wandering bandit. After all, if he joins a force at random, he can have a place. Zhang Xiang Shen's little wealth is not enough to attract such a person.

Chen Mu walked closer to the corpse, drew out his Yamen Saber and slashed it casually. Although this slash did not use Saber Intent, nor did he use much force, it was still no problem to cut cowhide tendons and bones, but after it fell, it only left a white mark on his corpse.

"What strong skin."

Chen Mu put away his Yamen Saber, his eyes flickering slightly.

He was now a master of Mo Pi, but compared to this person's skin toughness, he was far inferior. Even if he practiced the Gold Jade Mo Pi Fa to perfection, he probably couldn't compare. Min Baoyi's praise of 'Copper Skin' was indeed true.

"Right?"

Min Baoyi smiled and said, "This is innate and hard to replicate. Ordinary people like us who practice martial arts, unless we practice several Mo Pi Fa techniques at the same time, it is impossible to achieve this kind of real steel-copper skin."

"But while practicing multiple Mo Pi Fa techniques simultaneously is more terrifying after entering Lian Rou, it is time-consuming and laborious. Spending more time at the Mo Pi level may make it even more difficult to step into the Yi Jin realm."

As Min Baoyi spoke, he patted Chen Mu on the shoulder, then waved for several Yamen Runners to carry the corpse away.

Chen Mu listened,

Revealing a thoughtful expression.

For ordinary people, Mo Pi, Lian Rou, Yi Jin, and Duan Gu were a path that was extremely urgent, with every second counting. Once they passed the age of thirty, their efforts would be halved, and by forty, it would be difficult to improve further, and they might even gradually decline.

Practicing several Mo Pi Fa techniques simultaneously, delaying for a few more years, might mean they would never have the chance to enter the Yi Jin realm.

But for him, because of the system panel, age had little impact, and his cultivation speed far exceeded that of ordinary people, which meant he had more time to refine each realm to the limit.

Just as Min Baoyi said.

This kind of innate physique, with a body of copper-steel skin, although not as strong as a full-fledged Lian Rou's strike, if it encountered only a Lian Rou master or even a Lian Rou beginner, it might not be able to do anything about this copper-steel skin.

But because no one would waste precious time on refining copper-steel skin or hun tie flesh, delaying their future progress in Yi Jin and Duan Gu, such people were rare. If there were any, they were like Zhang Xiang Shen's third son, who had innate talent and would not delay the normal progress of body tempering.

But he...

Could cultivate a Mo Pi mastery in half a month, and a Mo Pi perfection in a little over a month!

"Maybe I can also polish every realm like this person, cultivating to Copper Skin Iron Bones, Mystic Metal Body."

Chen Mu vaguely had some ideas.

Finding a reason to bid farewell to Min Baoyi, Chen Mu hurried to the pharmacy, bought some more internal and external medicinal soups for the Gold Jade Mo Pi Fa, and then returned home to continue practicing his saber and Mo Pi.

The extermination of Zhang Xiang Shen's family seemed to be just a coincidence. In the following half month, no similar incidents occurred. People who initially discussed it occasionally slowly put it behind them and forgot about Zhang Xiang Shen's family.

Chen Mu still stayed at home, only occasionally going to the City Guard, and spent the rest of his time cultivating diligently behind closed doors, Mo Pi and practicing his saber.

"This Fierce Wind Saber Technique is considered a great success."

Chen Mu waved the Yamen Saber in the backyard for a while, exhaled a white mist, and then slowly stopped, nodding.

After obtaining the Fierce Wind Saber Technique, he had not used experience points to improve it, but relied purely on his own ability to practice. Because he had already mastered the Whirlwind Saber Technique and was a person who had cultivated Saber Intent, it was very easy for him to practice another saber technique to great success with his own ability.

[Martial Arts: Whirlwind Saber Technique (Perfection), Fierce Wind Saber Technique (Great Success)]

[Experience: 1246 points]

"With the foundation of Whirlwind Saber Technique at perfection, my experience gain in practicing this Fierce Wind Saber Technique is also much faster than in the past. In just over a month, I have accumulated more than a thousand experience points, which means that I can master another Saber Intent in at most three months."

Chen Mu looked at the data on the system panel and nodded secretly in his heart.

It took him nearly half a year to raise the Whirlwind Saber Technique from great success to perfection, but now it would take at most three months to raise the Fierce Wind Saber Technique to perfection, which shows that the increase in experience points is also related to his own realm.

With a thought.

Switching the system panel to the other side.

[Gold Jade Mo Pi Fa (Great Accomplishment)]

[Experience: 996 points]

In this short period, the experience of Gold Jade Mo Pi Fa has also increased rapidly. Now, it is only one time away from a thousand points.

Chen Mu looked up at the sun hanging high in the sky, estimating the time. He had practiced his saber for half a day, and now it was almost noon, so he could do another round of Gold Jade Mo Pi Fa training.
