Lian Rou

Wild Bull Lian Rou Method.

The so-called Raging Bull is not the domesticated yellow cattle or water buffalo of the farmland, but a ferocious creature akin to a 'Demon'.

Outside Yu City, there is a Protectorate Army of nearly ten thousand soldiers, directly under the command of Yu City's Commander. They are responsible for clearing out the numerous poisonous insects and beasts that approach Yu City and damage the farmland outside the city, including ferocious Demons like the Raging Bull.

However, the Protectorate Army's garrison range is limited to a few dozen miles around Yu City, and they do not manage anything beyond that. Therefore, for ordinary poor people, the world beyond those few dozen miles is a harsh land where it is difficult to survive, with bandits and rampant Demons.

"In this world, there are Martial Warriors who can cut through metal and jade, so it's not surprising that Demons exist."

Chen Mu muttered to himself as he looked at the description in the Wild Bull Lian Rou Method.

This Lian Rou Technique focuses on describing the Raging Bull's muscles, which are completely different from ordinary domestic cattle. Each piece is as hard as iron, and even a soldier wielding a spear with all his might would find it difficult to pierce through.

It is also incredibly strong, easily shaking down a tree, and with a flick of its horns, it can tear apart tigers and wolves!

Legend has it.

This Raging Bull also evolved from ordinary yellow cattle. In ancient times, someone observed its transformation process, studied the various herbs it consumed, and after countless experiments, finally compiled a formula that was also effective for humans. This is the Wild Bull Lian Rou Method.

"Using specific refining postures to fully integrate the Qi and blood accumulated during the Mo Pi Fa into the muscles, achieving a combination of skin and flesh, and then supplementing it with an internal medicine formula for refining the muscles, slowly tempering the muscles to be as strong as iron..."

Chen Mu nodded slightly as he looked at the several postures.

The Lian Rou Technique is actually very simple, with only two postures: Raging Bull Horn Thrust and Raging Bull Stomp.

Raging Bull Horn Thrust trains the skin and flesh of the upper body. With a hunched back and bent waist, the lower body remains still, while the upper body thrusts and butts, encompassing the waist, hips, shoulders, elbows, and even the neck, making it an overall upward exertion.

Raging Bull Stomp, on the other hand, keeps the upper body still while the body sinks down, then suddenly lifts the leg and stomps, repeatedly left and right, refining the skin and flesh of the lower body, including the thighs, calves, and even the feet.

The Lian Rou Technique also mentions.

After achieving initial success in Lian Rou, with the skin and flesh initially combined, increase the difficulty of the refining by finding a suitable large stone and using both fists to support it, then repeat the Raging Bull Horn Thrust and Raging Bull Stomp movements.

This is similar to some of the weight-bearing exercises from his previous life, but his previous life did not have these unique 'prescriptions' that could train a person's skin and flesh to be as solid as iron and as tough as cast iron.

Chen Mu still went to buy the prescription himself.

He always acted cautiously, purchasing medicinal materials from several different pharmacies, buying different types each time. After returning home, he divided them into small portions according to the amounts mentioned in the Lian Rou Technique, measured in fen and qian, mixed them together, and decocted them.

"It's true that the poor study literature while the rich practice martial arts. This Lian Rou prescription is much more expensive than Mo Pi Fa."

Chen Mu shook his head to himself while decocting the medicinal soup.

He had practiced all three Mo Pi Fa to perfection, and the entire process almost entirely involved forcibly ingesting excessive amounts of medicinal powder, but the entire process did not cost a total of one hundred taels of silver.

In comparison, one of the medicines in the Lian Rou Method, called 'Blood Grass', was outrageously expensive, costing ten taels of silver for just a small section, and this section would only last for three or four days at most.

In other words.

An ordinary person practicing this Wild Bull Lian Rou Method would spend nearly a thousand taels of silver a year just on the prescription.

Of course, different Lian Rou Techniques have different prescriptions, and the prices vary greatly. Perhaps some Lian Rou Techniques with poorer effects have much cheaper prescriptions, costing only two or three hundred taels of silver a year, but this Wild Bull Lian Rou Method is really expensive.

Even with Chen Mu's current wealth, he still felt a bit of heartache after purchasing a portion.

After decocting the medicinal soup.

Several taels of silver worth of medicinal herbs ultimately only produced a small bowl of dark red soup.

Chen Mu didn't mind the bitterness and drank it down in one gulp. Then, following the posture in the Wild Bull Lian Rou Method, he first planted his feet firmly, bent his upper body slightly, and with a thrusting and lifting motion, a surge of Qi and blood naturally churned and surged within him.

At the same time, the medicinal soup he had drunk felt like a scorching flame, burning and churning within him, rising with his movements, all the way to his lungs, and surging to his mouth and nose.

"Hmph!"

Chen Mu finished a set of Raging Bull Horn Thrust movements, letting out a muffled grunt, like the snort of a Raging Bull exerting its strength. Simultaneously, visible white mist burst forth from his mouth and nose.

Immediately afterward, Chen Mu stabilized his upper body, lowered his knees, and a surge of Qi and blood flowed from top to bottom, reaching his legs. Then, he grabbed his thighs with both hands, lifted them up and stomped down fiercely, landing on the ground with a dull thud.

At the same time, another syllable escaped from his mouth and nose.

"Ha!"

Dense white mist poured out of his mouth and nose, shooting straight forward like a wave of air.

After just one complete cycle, Chen Mu immediately felt the difference. Perhaps it was because his Qi and blood had been tempered and refined so thoroughly by the Mo Pi Fa that it had become too condensed and thick. In just this one round, some of it had already seeped into his skin and flesh.

Chen Mu wasn't overjoyed by this slight change. He remained calm, returned to the initial posture, and then bent his torso slightly again, performing another Raging Bull Horn Thrust, followed by the Raging Bull Stomp.

"Hmph." "Ha."

Even his breathing was rhythmic, emitting a muffled hmph and ha sound.

Although it was just one person tempering his body there, at this moment, he seemed to have transformed into a Raging Bull Demon, raising its head and stomping its hooves, hmph-ing and ha-ing, inhaling and exhaling, thrusting and lifting, kicking and stomping.

And so.

Chen Mu continued to temper himself. Soon, an hour had passed, and the churning Qi and blood within him finally began to weaken, and the effects of the medicinal soup he had drunk gradually dissipated.

When Chen Mu finished his stance and stood still, stopping his tempering, he felt the changes in his body. In just a short hour, his strength had noticeably increased. Clearly, the effects of the first practice were the most obvious.

This was also due to his profound foundation and solid base.

"Hoo..."

Chen Mu exhaled another mouthful of white mist.

Then, he summoned the system panel.

[Wild Bull Lian Rou Method (Incomplete)]
[Experience: 5 points]

"This Lian Rou Technique is still somewhat different from the Mo Pi Fa. It's not entirely the effect of the medicinal soup. The two movements, Raging Bull Horn Thrust and Raging Bull Stomp, are also very crucial. The accumulation of experience is probably due to both."

Chen Mu nodded slightly as he looked at the system panel.

The improvement requirements for this Lian Rou Technique are still the same as for Mo Pi Fa and saber techniques, requiring one hundred experience points to advance to Minor Accomplishment. In other words, he could completely break through the Mo Pi Fa realm and enter the Lian Rou Minor Accomplishment realm in at most twenty days.

And with his copper-steel skin and profound foundation, once he entered the Lian Rou Minor Accomplishment realm and mastered two levels of Saber Intent, his strength would take a huge leap. Even compared to figures like Min Baoyi, he wouldn't be far behind.
