Volume 1 Linglong Case Chapter 19: Cultivation Process
"You don't have a method to strengthen your bones?" Tan Lian asked in surprise.
In his opinion, the method of practicing the Body Tempering Realm was not a secret at all. One could learn it by spending some money. Lin Qianxing, who had inherited the ancient heritage, should not be unaware of it.
"Yes, but I'm not very clear about some of the key points, so I want to confirm with you." Lin Qianxing asked.
"What do you want to know?" Tan Lian asked.
"The specific practice process." Lin Qianxing said.
"Swallow bone powder with iron powder, copper powder or silver powder and gold powder, then mobilize the qi and blood in a fixed way to flush the bones. After digesting it, integrate it into the bones in the body to make them transform. It takes about three to five years to completely forge the bones. Warriors with strong talents and abundant qi and blood can shorten this time. In addition, using higher grade metals and bone powder will also speed up the process." Tan Lian said.
"Is it that simple?" Lin Qianxing frowned and asked, "Can you digest it?"
Although the process he saw in the cheats was similar, it always felt a little unreal.
"Swallowing a small amount of gold powder at one time can be digested. In fact, the human body itself also contains these metal components. The process of bone strengthening is to allow your bones to gradually adapt to and increase the composition of these components, so as to achieve the result of making the bones stronger and tougher." Tan Lian explained.
Lin Qianxing suddenly realized that he probably knew that the human body contained some trace amounts of metal elements, but he did not expect that such a path could be developed in this world.
"Which one is better, iron powder, silver powder, or gold powder?" Lin Qianxing asked again.
"What do you think?" Tan Lian asked back.
Lin Qianxing suddenly realized that it must be gold powder.
"Apart from these metals, are there any other metals that can be used?" Lin Qianxing asked tentatively.
Tan Lian immediately understood what Lin Qianxing meant. He said, "The material of your flying knife is very special. It is tougher than the black iron used by the Evil Control Bureau to forge the evil knives. If you use its powder to forge bones, the effect will definitely be better than copper powder and silver powder. As for whether it can be compared with gold powder, I have never used it, so I don't know."
Lin Qianxing nodded. That would make things much easier.
"Thank you for your answer." Lin Qianxing thanked him sincerely.
"Now you and I are on the same boat, so there's no need to talk about this." Tan Lian asked, "Do you have any other questions?"
"I actually have a question. What do you think will happen if I practice strengthening muscles first and then training the skin?" Lin Qianxing suddenly asked.
Tan Lian had a strange expression, not knowing why Lin Qianxing would ask such a common sense question, but he still explained: "It's very simple. After your tendons and veins exert force, your membranes will be torn off, leaving you with skin and flesh torn apart. The same principle applies if you strengthen your bones first and then change your tendons.
The practice of the Body Tempering Realm is a path explored by the ancient sages with countless blood. Perhaps some martial artists with extraordinary talents can take a different path.
But if you don’t have a famous teacher to teach you, it’s best not to try to jump out of the framework casually. I have seen many self-important people who can’t bear the loneliness brought by hard training and try to take shortcuts. In the end, none of them had a good ending. "
Lin Qianxing suddenly realized and was glad that he had been practicing according to the rules and had not done anything rash on any sudden whims.
Then Lin Qianxing asked a few more common sense questions before letting Tan Lian leave.
After Tan Lian left, Lin Qianxing went to the other side of the river and used a branch to flip open the map he left behind from a distance. With just a glance, Lin Qianxing had memorized it completely.
Thanks to the memory improved by the two character templates, Lin Qianxing now has the ability to remember everything he sees.
After a detailed comparison and finding no omissions, Lin Qianxing simply lit a fire with dead branches and leaves and burned the map.
Generally speaking, thieves who burn maps are more professional.
Only by keeping the terrain in mind can you avoid mistakes at critical moments.
In the next two days, Lin Qianxing practiced.
After receiving instruction from Tan Lian, he officially began to strengthen his bones.
The materials he used to forge his bones were cow bones stolen from the city's slaughterhouse and iron powder ground off with his meteorite flying knife.
Here we have to talk about the material of the meteorite throwing knife.
It was so tough that it looked as thin as a cicada's wing on the outside. However, Lin Qianxing used his true energy to infuse another meteorite flying knife, and he rubbed it on it for a long time before he was able to grind out a little bit of iron powder.
This even made Lin Qianxing consider swallowing the knife.
Fortunately, the effect of this thing is really good. Lin Qianxing can clearly feel that his bones have changed under the flushing of qi and blood.
Lin Qianxing compared the gold powder he ground from the gold bar with the iron powder produced by the meteorite flying knife.
Then it was discovered that the meteorite flying knife was at least two or three times more efficient.
From a certain perspective, meteorite flying knives are more valuable than gold.
At this moment, Lin Qianxing felt that he should be very rich now.
After all, he has unlimited flying knives. As long as he can sell them, wouldn’t it be easy to make a fortune?
Unfortunately, he was a thief, and his way of selling the stolen goods was cut off.
When Lin Qianxing went to the city to steal cow bones, he went to Jinyu Pavilion for a quick look, and then found that it seemed to have suffered a fire not long ago. It has been rebuilt now, and even the shops have been changed.
The original owner of Jinyu Pavilion also seemed to be dead.
He knew that those involved in the Linglong Yudan case would not have a good ending.
Shaking his head, Lin Qianxing no longer thought about asking the owner of Jinyu Pavilion for an explanation.
The most urgent task is to find the exquisite jade gallbladder first.
The time came to the evening of the fifth day of October, the hour of You.
Lin Qianxing received news from Tan Lian that Tian Shouping had left the mansion.
So Lin Qianxing also set off and went to Tian Shouping's mansion in the inner city.
Tian Shouping was a very self-disciplined person. He devoted himself to his career and never married or took concubines. There was no one else in his mansion except some servants who maintained its operation.
Taking advantage of the night, Lin Qianxing quietly landed from the sky in the backyard of Tian Shouping's mansion, and then went directly to Tian Shouping's bedroom according to the map layout in his memory.
After entering, Lin Qianxing began to search carefully based on the memories he gained from his previous life.
There were some sundries and silver in the cabinet. The bed was also tidy, with no secret compartments found. The pillow was solid, so there was no possibility of hiding anything.
There were no secret compartments in the floor, no place to hide anything.
After searching the entire bedroom, Lin Qianxing didn't see anything useful.
He thought about it, quietly closed the door, and went to Tian Shouping's study.
There are two rows of bookshelves in the study, which are densely packed with books.
Lin Qianxing even saw some martial arts in it.
Out of curiosity, he pulled out a martial arts book called "Falling Leaf Sword Technique" and took a look at it.
This martial art can mobilize the qi and blood and make the sword move faster. According to the description, thousands of leaves falling from the tree can all be cut off by the sword before they hit the ground.
Lin Qianxing memorized it in his mind, and then turned to the next martial arts book.
After flipping through several martial arts books, Lin Qianxing suddenly remembered what he was here for.
Then he began to search the things inside.
After searching for a while, Lin Qianxing still couldn't find the Linglong Yudan, but he did see a very special martial art on Tian Shouping's desk.
That martial art is called "Destroy Both Jade and Stone".
Its content and name are very appropriate, it is a martial art of suicidal nature.
By releasing the restrictions on himself, he worked hard to stimulate the blood and energy, and burn his soul, so that his strength could be increased by at least three times within a quarter of an hour.
However, after performing this martial art, one will die miserably.
Either you become paralyzed or you die.
Judging from the place where Tian Shouping placed the book and the traces of the book being flipped through, he seemed to read this martial art often.
Lin Qianxing couldn't understand it. He was in a high position, so why was he researching this kind of thing?
Did he want to kill the emperor to avenge his sister?
That's impossible. The current emperor of Dayu Kingdom has lived for more than four hundred years. His cultivation is unfathomable. God knows how powerful he is.
What Tian Shouping did was like an egg hitting black iron, there was absolutely no question of both sides being destroyed.
Lin Qianxing then went to other rooms and searched for a while, but still could not find any trace of Linglong Yudan. Finally, he could only leave quietly before the arrival of the hour of Xu.
The next day.
Lin Qianxing meets Tan Lian at a small river outside the city.
"Didn't you find it?" Tan Lian asked immediately.
He waited for a long time last night, and only left reluctantly after Tian Shouping returned.
"I didn't find it. I searched the study and the bedroom, and even went to his kitchen and bathroom. Fortunately, the spirit dog found me. If I didn't have a piece of cow bone left over from my previous bone-strengthening training, I would have been in trouble this time. Why didn't you tell me that he had a spirit dog?" Lin Qianxing said.
"This is weird..." Tan Lian fell into deep thought and muttered, "There's no reason. Where did he put the things?"
"Are you sure he stole it? What if he didn't?" Lin Qianxing asked.
"Even if he didn't steal it, it must have something to do with him." Tan Lian shook his head.
"What do you think? Could it be that the light is darkest?" Lin Qianxing suddenly asked.
"What do you mean by darkest place under the lamp?" Tan Lian looked at Lin Qianxing in confusion and asked back.
"He is the one who put things in places that you all thought were impossible." Lin Qianxing said.
"You mean, he didn't take the exquisite jade gall out of the palace? No, since you went to pick it up and got it, it proves that it has indeed left the palace." At this point, Tan Lian suddenly paused and said, "I know where it is!!"
"Where is it?" Lin Qianxing asked.
"The Headquarters of the Anti-Evil Division!" Tan Lian said affirmatively.
"No one would have thought of that." Lin Qianxing said suddenly.
"I have to trouble you again." Tan Lian looked at Lin Qianxing and said.
Lin Qianxing raised his eyebrows, his face full of disbelief. He widened his eyes and said, "Are you kidding? It's already exaggerated enough to ask me to go to his house, and you also want me to go to the headquarters of the Anti-Evil Division? Are you crazy or am I crazy?"
