In the evening, Xu Yunfan sat cross-legged on the well platform in the center of the courtyard.
The afterglow of the setting sun shone on him, lengthening his shadow.
He closed his eyes and concentrated, the blood in his body rushing like rivers, climbing up along his spine.
His spine trembled slightly, making a slight "cracking" sound, as if countless tiny hammers were hitting his bones.
"You are realizing the subtle connection between bone training and breathing. When you adjust your breathing so that each inhalation and exhalation causes the bones to vibrate, blood and energy circulate back and forth between the bones, strengthening and strengthening the bones. Your proficiency in the Iron Bridge Town Bone Training Chapter will improve significantly."
Late at night, Xu Yunfan, looking extremely tired, sat cross-legged, formed the Lin character seal with his hands in front of his chest, and silently recited the Shangshan Ruoshui mantra.
An hour later, Xu Yunfan opened his eyes and looked at the message of increased proficiency that had been flashing on the screen all day.
There are proficiency prompts for the Bone Training Chapter at Tieqiao Town Pass, Sprinting Kicks, as well as the Red Copper Body Cloak Wind Hammer and Lin Zi Jue. However, the Bone Training Chapter at Tieqiao Town Pass has the most, while the Lin Zi Jue has only a few sporadic ones.
"Great!"
The feeling of increasing his proficiency through immersive practice made him unable to stop. If there was only Pure Yang Qigong, and the highest level could only reach the Outer Three Combinations Great Martial Master, he would not be so eager to join a sect.
After reaching the outer three-harmony realm and becoming a great martial artist.
Well, don't go around looking for masters. Just find a place and start your own school.
Which sect would allow a great martial artist of the outer three levels to enter? Among the dozen or so sects in Qingzhou, the masters of some of the lower-level ones are only great martial artists of the outer three levels. The master of Jingtao Sect, Fei Qi, is also only at the outer three levels of great martial artists.
Once you enter, it will be up to you to be the leader of the sect, or him to be the leader.
In the next few days, Xu Yunfan basically stayed at home, temporarily put aside other martial arts training, and devoted himself to practicing the Tieqiao Town Bone Training Chapter. His proficiency in practice increased by more than ten points every day.
As the level of cultivation improves and the tendons and skin become more developed, the effect on bone training becomes greater.
One month is more than enough to achieve great bone training.
Half a month later, Xu Yunfan, who had just finished practicing martial arts and rarely went out, had just walked out of the Changfeng Restaurant after eating and drinking. He saw a skinny beggar who was dirty and emitting a foul smell. He was walking aimlessly with his eyes blank. Passersby around him could not help but cover their mouths and avoid him.
After a quick glance, they passed each other. Xu Yunfan's expression changed slightly, and he turned around to look at the beggar's back.
"Brother Su?"
The beggar shuddered when he heard Xu Yunfan's voice, and turned around woodenly, looking at the tall and sturdy man in front of him who was carrying a long-handled golden hammer and an iron box on his back. The beggar raised his eyes, and after seeing the face of the man who called his name, his lips pursed and he burst into tears with a "wow".
"Brother Xu!!!"
It was Su Shiyu, the tomboy from the Su family in Beiye City.
When he brought Su Shiyu back to the villa, he boiled a bucket of water, let him wash up, and change into his own spare clothes. Then Xu Yunfan saw Su Shiyu, with a thin and pretty face, looking at him timidly from behind the half-closed door.
Xu Yunfan was somewhat helpless: "Brother Su, why do you look at me like this?"
Su Shiyu was a little surprised: "Aren't you surprised that I'm a girl?"
"...In Beiye City, everyone knows that you are the eldest daughter of the Su family, Su Shiyu."
Upon hearing this, Su Shiyu's face was filled with helplessness and dejection. She thought she had concealed the truth very well, but she didn't expect that someone would be able to see through her at a glance.
Seeing that Su Shiyu didn't say anything, Xu Yunfan asked, "Why did you look like that just now?"
Although the Su family is not extremely wealthy, they are backed by Jiyun Mountain in Beiye City, which makes them rich and famous in Beiye City.
Su Shiyu's face darkened and he told the whole story.
It turned out that ever since the magical weapon, the gilded mace, appeared in the Thousand Buddha Temple, almost all the masters of the Yanbei Dao were heading to the Thousand Buddha Temple. Even the imperial court of the Great Zhou Dynasty specially dispatched a team of 400 tiger guards, led by a blood-changing general.
Beiye City has become a place of disputes, with masters gathering here and there, and disputes among different factions making the whole city in turmoil. Although the Thousand Buddha Temple is extremely famous, its highest strength is only at the Blood Exchange Realm, so how can it withstand the influx of these masters?
All the big families in the city had already been forcibly occupied by masters from all walks of life. Su Shiyu's family suffered the most. A master of blood-exchanging from the devil came and stationed him in their house. One day, because the food he delivered was not to her taste, he beat and killed her on a trumped-up charge. She was also sent out of the city by her father during the chaos. Now she is the only one left. No one knows how the Su family is doing now.
The imperial court of the Great Zhou Dynasty turned a blind eye, and the government office was like a quail. Even the black-armored tiger guards did not move an inch when they heard the news from the city, but just said that it was not the military's responsibility.
Such behavior is outrageous.
Xu Yunfan shook his head slightly, making a mental comment. He turned to look at Su Shiyu, whose eyes were red with tears and filled with resentment. He paused for a moment and said, "If Miss Su doesn't mind, you can stay next door for the time being."
Upon hearing this, Su Shiyu was naturally willing to do so now that she was in trouble, so she quickly expressed her gratitude.
After a pause, Su Shiyu bowed deeply and said, "Thank you, Brother Xu. I will rest for a few days and then go to Yujing to join my uncles."
Xu Yunfan nodded and said, "Since Miss Su has a goal, I am naturally happy for you."
To be honest, when Su Shiyu was at the Changfeng Tavern in Beiye City, she spent several hundred taels of silver just to treat him to a meal. Moreover, she was a generous person, so naturally she would not refuse to help Xu Yunfan if she could.
As for helping with revenge, Xu Yunfan said he could do nothing to help.
A master at the blood exchange realm could be called a celebrity in the martial arts world. A master at this realm was already considered top-notch in the world. He could not reach that level, and going there would be tantamount to suicide.
If I can wait, I can help him after he achieves the supreme grandmaster level of Qi training.
In the following time, Xu Yunfan did not waste any time, and continued to practice the Tieqiao Town Bone Training Chapter. As his proficiency improved, time passed day by day.
Nine days later, Xu Yunfan stood in the courtyard. He took a deep breath, and the muscles in his chest and abdomen suddenly rippled like waves. His latissimus dorsi, like a living python, traced a ferocious path beneath his skin, crushing his spine inch by inch.
This is a method that relies purely on muscle strength to massage the bones and strengthen them. Every movement will cause numbness, itching and soreness all over the body.
"Click!"
There was a sudden, teeth-grinding sound of friction between the shoulder blades.
Xu Yunfan clenched his teeth, and veins bulged on the side of his neck.
He could clearly feel his trapezius muscles turning into two iron brushes, scraping back and forth along the shoulder blades toward the arm bones. Every inch of his bones was groaning under the heavy burden, yet exuding a jade-like luster in the severe pain.
The muscles in both legs suddenly tightened like bowstrings, the fibers in the quadriceps femoris stood up, and vibrated at a high frequency like guitar strings. The kneecaps made frequent "crackling" sounds, as if thousands of silver needles were moving back and forth in the medullary cavity.
A beast-like growl came from Xu Yunfan's throat, and his ten fingers dug deep into the soil.
As a message suddenly popped up in the field of vision.
'Your Tieqiaozhenguan bone training chapter has reached perfection'
