Chương 205: Perfect Bone-Refining

Plum Manor. Over a dozen large banquet tables were set up in the plum blossom garden. Relieving their pent-up stress, the Moon-Lacking Pavilion higher-ups took turns toasting their Pavilion Master, Grandee Song, and chatting merrily. Song Que refused no one, happily raising his cup and draining it with everyone.

"Pavilion Master, how do you plan to handle the aftermath of today's events?" Taking advantage of a toast, Tie Feilong leaned in and asked worriedly. Unlike the carefree youngsters, he had a significant family business to consider, so having some misgivings was normal. Song Que didn't mind. He amiably finished his drink with him and then reassured:"Uncle Tie, don't worry! The Jiang family is now like a toothless tiger, amounting to nothing! Even if they come for revenge, they will target me!

As long as nothing happens to me, they will absolutely not dare to 'beat the grass to startle the snake' and attack others." Patting Uncle Tie's shoulder to signal that no further explanation was needed, Song Que continued:"As for our attitude toward today's events, naturally, we should publicize it wildly! Once we return, just leak the news to the Lingjiang Gang. Let it serve as a warning to them: if they dare to stretch out their claws like the Jiang family, they must be prepared to make sacrifices!

Furthermore, the Jiang family must have quite a few enemies in Qingyang Commandery, right? Those people should be very willing to hear this good news! I believe that after today, the Jiang family won't even have the time to worry about themselves, let alone entertain foolish thoughts."

"The Pavilion Master is wise!" A group of hot-blooded Moon-Lacking Pavilion members boiled with enthusiasm, eagerly raising their cups and draining them. Pavilion Master Song laughed heartily and toasted with them once again. Waiting until everyone's mood settled, he announced another bombshell piece of news:"Brothers, our success in defeating the enemy today is all thanks to your efforts! I will not be stingy with rewards!

This Young Master will make a special exception and grant everyone one opportunity to choose a martial art! The Elders have the right to freely choose any martial art they fancy from the Scripture Pavilion, including the newly acquired First-Tier internal energy cultivation method, the Savage Ape Technique! The rest of you may freely choose any manual of the Second Tier or below! Later, Old Nie will provide a list for you to choose from. Whoever likes what, register with him and copy it yourselves."

Hearing this, the crowd instantly became incredibly agitated, unable to suppress their excitement as they shouted and asked him:"Pavilion Master, is this true?!" It was no wonder they lost their composure like this! Internal energy manuals were already closely guarded secrets in the martial world; for these bottom-tier martial artists, they were an extravagant hope!

Practicing martial arts was divided into internal and external refinement, but ultimately, all rivers flowed to the sea, allowing the martial artist's body to condense true qi to cleanse oneself! The day one's entire body was baptized, meridians unblocked, and acupoints cleared, one could attempt to break through to Xiantian! A Xiantian Grandmaster could establish a sect or submit to the Imperial Court to freely be granted a title of nobility or prime minister!

Their body would be perfect and flawless, and their lifespan would increase to 150 years! Whatever they wanted, they could have! They were true giants! Out of the hundreds of millions of subjects in the entire Great Yan, there were no more than 50 Grandmasters, and every single one of them was a regional overlord! Who practicing martial arts didn't want to go a little further, live a little longer? But to achieve all this, first, you had to condense true qi! Seventh Grade! The Seventh Grade!

Crossing the heavenly chasm of the First Tier was the true dividing line for martial artists' ranks! First-Tier and below First-Tier—even if you were at the peak of the Sixth Grade —the difference was like night and day! One could see the wondrous uses of a mouthful of true qi! Cultivating an external martial art to its absolute peak could also help one condense true qi, but regarding the probability... it was better left unsaid.

That was exactly why a manual like the Flawless Glaze Body, which upon perfection gave a practitioner an eighty percent certainty of breaking through to the Seventh Grade, could be called a divine art! Internal energy manuals might not show their power early on, but starting from the Fifth- Grade Organ-Refining stage, they began to reveal their might. Later, reaching the Sixth- Grade Marrow-Refining stage, they provided immense assistance in refining true qi!

Therefore, hearing Song Que say such words, how could the people present maintain their composure?! If you encounter this narrative on Amazon, note that it's taken without the author's consent. Report it. Raising a hand to stop the joyously bouncing crowd, Boss Song smiled and nodded:"With so many people here, would I, your Pavilion Master, still lie to you?! As long as you dedicate yourselves to serving me, I will not mistreat any brother! If others do not fail me, I will not fail them!

This, Song Que, promises here!" Song Que didn't use the name of the Moon-Lacking Pavilion, but straightforwardly used his own name! The people present naturally caught this, but no one objected, all shouting in unison:"We swear to follow the Pavilion Master to the death!"

"Haha, very good. Everyone, continue eating and drinking! Afterward, go find Old Nie to choose your martial arts! Remember: they are strictly for your own use and cannot be passed on to others! If I find anyone secretly exchanging them, don't blame this Young Master for being ruthless!" His voice turned cold at the end, causing everyone to instantly shiver and answer sternly:"Obey your command!" Qinghe Docks.

Chu Tianqiu, who had been feeling uneasy since last night, instantly turned to stone upon hearing his subordinate's report. Trembling for a while, he finally said dryly:"Are you saying the entire Jiang family group was wiped out?! Is the news accurate?!"

"My Lord, there's no way to verify it! But the news came straight from the Moon-Lacking Pavilion people! Furthermore, all the Jiang family members vanished into thin air; to this day, not a single shadow has been seen! This lowly one fears this matter is not false; they are likely dead rather than alive!" Chu Tianqiu's face was ashen. He slumped deeply into his large chair, tiredly rubbing his forehead. Lucky, truly lucky!

Last night, Old Chu was almost persuaded by Jiang Ze Xin's invitation to take a stroll through the gates of hell! Fortunately, this old man has great fortune and a long life! I merely casually sent a gang member to lead the way! Thinking of this, Chu Tianqiu couldn't help but feel his heart tremble. The Moon-Lacking Pavilion hid its strength too deeply! Fifteen Second-Tier experts, among whom were three Sixth- Grade martial artists, and they just swallowed them whole without even causing a ripple?!

A few days ago, the Moon-Lacking Pavilion people were bustling about at Lang Bo Lake! If I had listened to my subordinates' advice and gone to cause trouble and establish dominance, wouldn't I have also been 'crack'-ed by them at any moment?! Old Chu's fear deepened. Not daring to act rashly, he continued to send people to gather information while simultaneously writing a letter to Gang Leader Du Ruhui, detailing today's events! It's better to hand this matter over to an expert!

This old man avoiding such dangers is the best course of action!... Plum Manor. The herbs delivered by the Cloud Sea Pavilion hadn't been completely used up yet, and he had just been buffed with a massive amount of energy! Boss Song naturally wouldn't waste time, hurrying to cultivate and break through to the Fifth Grade as soon as possible! At this moment, in his room, he was simulating the bone-refining movements from the Glazed Sutra to finish forging the bones in his body.

In his mind, he continually constructed the Wondrous Treasure Lotus Pedestal to erase karma! Having sucked dry over a dozen people at once today, the spiritual space within him could be described as wreathed in murderous intent; the black fog was almost solid, gloomy, terrifying, and intimidating! The Tesseract's energy continuously nourished and strengthened his spirit! Song Que patiently visualized his Lotus Pedestal. Layer by layer, lotus petals grew, radiating brilliant light!

Once the lotus pedestal condensed a full 84, 000 petals, and it was entirely inlaid with glazed Buddha jade illuminating his spiritual altar, the Visualization could be considered completely mastered! Then, he could invite the true Buddha in his heart to descend! At that time, with Buddha's power protecting his body, he could be considered undefiled by ten thousand dusts, impenetrable by ten thousand evils, and his mind truly perfect!

Song Que's cultivation speed was shockingly fast, but even so, he had only condensed over 1, 000 lotus petals so far; he was still far from complete mastery! As the karma in his mind was gradually dissolved bit by bit, the Wondrous Dharma Lotus Sutra Visualization actually seemed stimulated, becoming exceptionally solid! This made 'Old Demon Song' incredibly excited! Doesn't this mean that to rapidly master this art, I need to... Amitabha! Sinful, sinful!

Pushing aside all distracting thoughts, he hurried to cultivate, splitting his mind to simultaneously refine his body and spirit! He strictly followed the call of the 'Party': When strength advances forward, nothing will be left behind! Boss Song's essence, qi, and spirit all needed healthy, balanced development!... It took a full three days before Song Que finally swept the karma from his body completely clean! Sitting in the room, a wave of relief spread from the depths of his soul!

Grandee Song felt his mind clear, as if his entire being had become transparent! He suddenly comprehended a few cultivation bottlenecks that had previously confused him! He slightly twisted his body, and a series of crackling sounds, like firecrackers, echoed from his bones! After a long while, when everything returned to calm, Song Que excitedly opened his eyes!

"Finally, perfect bone-refining!" At this moment, if someone had x-ray vision, they would be astonished to discover that the bones in his entire body had become as pure and transparent as glaze, dazzlingly colorful! The 206 bones seemed connected as a single entity, their exterior wrapped in a thin, transparent membrane, like a layer of ultra-durable flexible plastic protecting the inside! He clenched his fists to feel it—a powerful, safe, and solid sensation that intoxicated him!

Unable to resist, Song Que stood up, went out to the courtyard, and swung his arms and legs for a bit. A moment later, having worked up a sweat, Boss Song joyfully washed off the impurities expelled from his body. Feeling refreshed all over, he returned to his room. From his test just now, his physical force had officially broken through the threshold of 1 Elephant Power!

In the martial world, he could be classified as quasi-First-Tier, and could be considered to have the qualifications to be called a 'minor expert'! Furthermore, thinking that his breakthrough to the Fifth Grade was imminent, and his strength would increase by another large margin then, Song Que felt even more confident! At least in this small plot of land, with his own abilities, protecting himself was not a problem!

Just as his mood was swelling with pride, a warning of danger transmitted from his separated soul made Boss Song shiver! He hurriedly closed his eyes and concentrated to observe.
