You are just making up the exercises, my disciple, have you really mastered them?

Chapter 8 Xu Yan Bone Refining (Please collect and read)

The sky turned white, and a ray of morning sun shone through the narrow passage of the village, shining on Xu Yan who was practicing.

As always, Xu Yan, who had gotten up to practice before dawn, was extremely excited at the moment. As his qi and blood circulated, his skin tightened at a certain moment, making a popping sound, just like the sound of a steel string being tightened in an instant.

 The skin instantly feels round and leak-free.

 The strength has become stronger, and the energy and blood have also improved instantly.

 Hide refining is complete!

"Twenty days, it took me twenty days to finally complete the skin refining. Although it is far worse than the ancient geniuses, I still belong to the genius level!"

“As long as I refine it into a golden bone, I will never be weaker than the ancient genius!”

Xu Yan was extremely excited. He raised his hands and clenched his fists. He felt how powerful he was.

Even with bare hands, you are almost not afraid of swords!

 One against a hundred, no problem!

 And this is just the completion of skin refining, only the most basic stage of the basic level!

“Let’s settle down today and start bone refining tomorrow!”

Xu Yan finished his work, picked up the hoe, planted vegetables, fed chickens, relaxed his mind, and prepared for bone refining tomorrow.

He kept in mind his master’s teachings, to balance work and rest, and to stay calm!

 Li Xuan got up, washed up, and came out of the room. He was surprised to find that Xu Yan was not practicing!

This is the first time Xu Yan has not practiced in the morning since he became a disciple!

 “What’s the situation? Have you given up?”

"Impossible? He was practicing hard yesterday and suddenly gave up?"

Based on his understanding of Xu Yan these days, he is a stubborn person, and his brain is not very good, so it is impossible for him to give up suddenly.

Li Xuan went to the chicken coop to take a look. The chickens had just been fed and he saw Xu Yan hoeing in the vegetable garden from a distance.

 So he walked over.

 “Master!”

Xu Yan saluted respectfully.

“Well, not bad, I can calm down and take care of the vegetable garden in an orderly manner...”

Li Xuan took a look at the vegetable garden and was a little surprised. All the weeds had been removed. The vegetables were growing well, even better than growing them himself!

 “It’s all thanks to Master’s good teachings!”

Xu Yan said with a naive smile.

 “Why did you come to the vegetable garden early today to weed?”

 Li Xuan came to inquire why he did not practice this morning.

At present, Xu Yan doesn’t look like he’s giving up.

“Disciple, please follow your master’s teachings carefully, combine work and rest, and practice hard for the next step.”

Xu Yan replied respectfully.

Li Xuan breathed a sigh of relief. Sure enough, he didn't give up. Instead, he relaxed his mind and continued to practice to sense Qi and blood.

 How can a stubborn person give up easily?

Then, he showed a happy smile and said: "I am so happy that you can have this enlightenment!"

Xu Yan was immediately excited and thought to himself: "Sure enough, after I didn't finish the skin refining, I rushed to the bone refining immediately. It was the right choice. Taking some time to settle down and relax my tense mind is the right way to practice!"

 “Keep a good attitude, don’t be arrogant or impetuous, and you will achieve something!”

Li Xuan encouraged him and turned around to leave.

Walking around the village, I found that since the last village elder passed away, all the houses in the village have become deserted.

He converted several houses into chicken coops, and the rest were overgrown with weeds.

“How did Xu Yan pass through the evil forest? Because of luck, he just happened to avoid the tiger and the evil beast?”

"I can't stay trapped in the village forever. I always have to think of a way to get out of here. The breakthrough lies with Xu Yan..."

Li Xuan pondered in his heart.

"It's really miserable for me as a time traveler. I can't even get out of Novice Village!" Li Xuan sighed.

 …

 The next day.

 Before dawn, Xu Yan got up to practice.

“Qi and blood seep into the bones, and the bones are tempered... It is slightly different from refining skin, but it is almost the same. My goal is golden bones. Only by refining golden bones can I compare with the geniuses of ancient times.”

Xu Yan’s eyes were firm,

“Although Master doesn’t say it, he definitely hopes that I can make golden bones. Only those who are comparable to the geniuses of ancient times can be worthy of being Master’s successor!”

“As for the Jade Bone, Master said, it doesn’t take perseverance and talent to achieve it... I will try my best. If I can become the Jade Bone, I will definitely surpass the geniuses of ancient times!”

 It is too difficult to make jade bones, and it cannot be achieved by talent and persistence, so Xu Yan’s first goal is to make gold bones!

Xu Yan circulates Qi and blood and begins to seep into the bones, very slowly at first. At a certain moment, the bones all over his body feel like ant bites, numb and itchy, and a little uncomfortable!

“The blood has seeped into the bones, and I feel like this when I’m training!”

Xu Yan gritted his teeth and persisted.

“No wonder Master said that refining the golden bones requires talent, persistence and perseverance. That’s it when you first start refining the bones. Once you reach the golden bones and seep into the marrow, you will definitely feel more uncomfortable!”

The bones all over his body were numb and itchy, as if there were ants crawling on him, and Xu Yan had sweat on his forehead. However, he gritted his teeth and persisted, his eyes were firm, and he would persevere no matter how uncomfortable it was.

 Fortunately, as Qi and blood continue to seep in, after the initial stage, the numbness, itching, and the feeling of ants climbing begin to weaken.

 What followed was a feeling of tempering in the bones all over the body, which was similar to tempering the skin membrane, but it was much more difficult.

The progress of qi and blood seeping into the bones for tempering is very slow. It only stays on the surface of the bones and cannot penetrate further into the depths of the bones.

At this moment, Xu Yan realized that the difficulty of bone refining was beyond imagination.

 No wonder those who can refine gold bones are so rare.

Li Xuan came out of the room and saw Xu Yan practicing at a glance. He couldn't help but nodded. Sure enough, a stubborn person would not give up easily.

 The attitude is maintained well!

 Xu Yan saw his master nodding from the corner of his eye, and his heart suddenly became excited.

“Master must have endured the pain of bone refining for me and persisted to express his approval!”

 “Persist! Persist! No matter how great the pain is, you must persevere and never give up!”

Xu Yan encouraged himself in his heart.

Continue to temper the bones. As Qi and blood continue to seep in, more and more Qi and blood cover the bones. With continuous tempering, the feeling of ants climbing is gone.

 However, a feeling like sand rubbing against each other appeared.

Xu Yan was sweating on his forehead, but he gritted his teeth and continued to practice without saying a word.

I don’t know how much time passed, but the feeling of sand rubbing against the bones became more and more intense. Xu Yan felt that he could no longer bear it.

 Beads of sweat dripped from his forehead.

Li Xuan, who was lying on a chair under the tree, looked up at the time and then at Xu Yan.

“It’s almost time to have lunch. What happened to this apprentice today? He forgot the time? It’s time to cook!”

So Li Xuan said: "Okay, let's go cook, it's getting late!"

Xu Yan was shocked when he heard this and began to withdraw his power. The feeling of sand rubbing against his bones gradually disappeared.

At this moment, I was very moved: "Master must have seen that I have reached my limit, so let me relax."

 “Yes, Master!”

 Xu Yan received his work respectfully.

ˆps: I want to read, I want to vote, I want everything.
