Chapter 70 Bone Refining Realm (Two in One)

Although Geng Xuan had 389 points of good luck, he did not squander it. Instead, he took off on the spot in one breath.

After many attempts, he now has a deep understanding of the effects that Hongyun can achieve.

Therefore, Geng Xuan understood very well that even if he wanted to become a fat man in one go, his body would not allow it.

Moreover, even for those skills that are more technical and do not put much strain on the body, continuous improvement can cause "indigestion", and the time spent on digestion and absorption will be more than that of mastering them one by one.

After completing the inventory of all his harvests today, Geng Xuan only consumed 20 points of luck in total.

Twelve of these points were used to advance the "Cai Nu Xuan Shui Gong" from minor success to major success.

The purpose is naturally to pave the way for advancement to the fourth level of body tempering.

Geng Xuan's body tempering achievements have now stabilized at the level of "skin refining 65%, flesh refining 50%, blood refining 30%".

In order to advance from the Blood Refining Realm to the Bone Refining Realm, the minimum standard for body tempering achievement is "sixty percent skin refining, fifty percent flesh refining, and forty percent blood refining."

In other words, Geng Xuan is only a little short of advancing to the Bone Refining Realm, as he is still somewhat lacking in the Blood Refining stage, but he has already reached the standard in the Skin Refining and Flesh Refining stages.

The Iron Skin Skill that he had advanced to the master level at an early stage even allowed his skin refining achievements to exceed the standard line.

As the Xuanshui Gong of Cai Nu advanced from the minor level to the major level, Geng Xuan felt his body quickly transitioning from "calm" to "turbulent".

Under this drastic change, the level of blood refining is improving at a completely perceptible speed.

But on the other hand, the drain on the body is also extremely intense.

Because he had anticipated this, Geng Xuan had already swallowed a blood-replenishing pill before upgrading his Xuanshui skill.

But until the medicinal power of the entire blood-replenishing pill was digested and absorbed, the body's hunger and thirst still remained and was not completely satisfied.

Geng Xuan picked up a jar of medicinal wine and drank half a pound of it in one gulp. Only then did he feel full and satisfied.

This was only the consumption when the level of the Cai Nu Xuan Shui Gong increased suddenly. After that, in order to continue to maintain the rapid improvement of the blood refining level, she drank another two kilograms of medicinal wine before going to bed.

Fortunately, his physical fitness has greatly improved, otherwise, he would only need to drink all day and would not be able to do anything else.

Fortunately, the results are also amazing.

The blood refining achievement directly increased from "30%" to "34%".

The other eight points of luck were used by Geng Xuan on the Featherless Arrow hidden weapon throwing skill, which enabled him to advance from the minor success level to the major success level.

[Remaining good fortune: 369]

……

Geng Xuan spent the rest of the day on comprehending, digesting, and practicing the Great Accomplishment Realm Caesu Xuanshui Gong and the Great Accomplishment Realm Meiyu Arrow.

The next day, with the help of sufficient resources, as he deeply digested and absorbed the Great Accomplishment Realm of the Mysterious Water Power of the Lady, his blood refining achievement leapt forward again, from "34%" to "37%".

The cost was the consumption of three kilograms of medicinal wine.

After that, for another six consecutive days, Geng Xuan maintained a consumption of three kilograms of medicinal wine every day, and his blood refining achievements increased step by step, from "37%" to "45%".

At this point, the potential of the Great Perfection Realm of the Black Water Power of the Lady has been basically exhausted.

Although if sufficient resources continue to be invested, the level of blood refining will be improved, and may even slowly reach 50% of blood refining.

But this will be a more time-consuming process, and he will no longer have the feeling of "perceivable progress".

The unexpected surprise was that the rapid progress in blood refining allowed the tidal breathing method to remain at the great perfection stage, and the flesh refining level also made a small improvement, from "50%" to "51%".

Geng Xuan finally clicked confirm on a piece of information that popped up in his mind a few days ago.

[The host has mastered all the techniques and tips of the "Bone Shrinking Technique", and his body also meets all the prerequisites for mastering this technique. He can quickly get started by consuming three points of luck.]

【whether?】

"Yes."

In an instant, some new insights, experiences and skills flooded into Geng Xuan's mind.

Under the push of layers of skin, flesh, and blood, Geng Xuan felt that the bones all over his body were making a slight creaking sound.

The bones all over the body seemed to be slowly getting warmer and hotter, and a feeling that was hard to describe, whether comfortable, painful, or weird, surged into my heart.

In principle, the "bone shrinking method" is similar to the "Chuanv Xuanshui Gong".

The core purpose is to compress, compress, and purify the vital energy in the blood or bones again and again.

This is to achieve the purpose of "refining the blood" and "refining the bones".

The idea is consistent, simple and direct.

The most obvious difference is that compared to when he was in the Blood Refining Stage, the body's "appetite" has become bigger now.

It took two blood-replenishing pills to barely satisfy the intense demand brought about by the sudden introduction to the "bone shrinking method".

Good luck consumes three points, and the bone shrinking method is introduced.

In addition, during these days when his blood refining achievements were improving rapidly, Geng Xuan also upgraded his "Featherless Arrows" and "Blowing Arrows" to the next level, all of which were upgraded from the Great Accomplishment Realm to the Master Realm, each consuming sixteen points of red luck.

This means another thirty-five points of luck are lost.

[Remaining good fortune: 334]

……

At this moment, Geng Xuan had also completed the digestion and absorption of the master level's "Featherless Arrow" and "Blowing Arrow".

He finally turned his attention to the "Earth Walking Technique".

Because of the need, he upgraded this skill to the great perfection level very early on, and it still remains at this level today.

This time, as Geng Xuan burned up twenty-four points of good fortune in one breath, the Earth Walking Technique finally made another step forward, advancing from great success to the master level.

All kinds of new and profound experiences, skills and insights flooded into Geng Xuan's mind.

After roughly sorting out the harvest, what Geng Xuan valued most was not that his ability to dig soil and rocks with his bare hands had become stronger, faster, and more efficient, but that his special perception ability had been further improved.

Previously, he dug a tunnel more than 500 meters long under the river, and the actual exit deviated from his expected exit by only a few meters, thanks to this amazing perception ability.

But for Geng Xuan now, the perception ability granted by the great success realm practice technique is no longer enough.

Now, as the Earth Walking Technique has advanced from great success to master level, this perception ability has been further enhanced, and Geng Xuan has a deeper understanding of this ability.

Strictly speaking, this kind of perception is actually a "pseudo-perception". He does not really have the ability to detect the situation on the ground through thick layers of rock and soil while deep underground.

A person first opens his eyes to carefully observe and memorize the situation in the room, then closes his eyes and based on his memory, he can more clearly judge what is in a certain direction.

If you feel your way through, you will have a clearer idea of the obstacles you will encounter along the way and be able to avoid them in advance.

The room simulated in the mind is roughly consistent with the actual room layout and corresponds to each other.

However, if you close your eyes for too long, the number of steps you take will increase, affecting your initial judgment of the direction, and the distance between you and the target will increase, and this perception will quickly become blurred.

The room in my mind and the room in reality are becoming increasingly difficult to match.

The wonderful perception ability given to Geng Xuan by the Earth Walking Technique is actually similar to the ability that allows him to clearly remember the layout of the furnishings in a room even after closing his eyes.

Even if he moves and his position and direction continue to change, his clear judgment will last longer.

Therefore, for this "perception ability" to be effective, a basic premise is required, that is, he has a very good understanding of the terrain above the ground.

Then when he drilled deep underground from a certain point, even if he could no longer see anything above the ground, he could still clearly grasp the relative relationship between himself and the ground.

In this way, you can determine whether you are directly below a certain area on the ground, as well as your relative distance from the ground, that is, how many meters deep you are from the ground.

However, as the distance he moves underground increases and the direction changes in complexity, this judgment will gradually become blurred until it completely loses correspondence with the ground.

If you go underground where you know nothing about the terrain, this perception ability will automatically become invalid.

After some verification, Geng Xuan found that with his familiarity with Changpingfang and Kangleji, and the "calibration" of his own home and the side door of Kangle Hall as the underground and ground connection points, he could basically maintain a relatively clear perception of direction and depth in the underground of Changpingfang and Kangleji.

What surprised him more was that when he thought back to all the tunnel network areas underground in Kangleji, including the underground black market, which he had personally explored, their relative relationship with Kangleji on the ground seemed to have been calibrated.

He could determine quite clearly which section of the long street contained a tunnel and how many meters deep it was underground.

The tunnel forks were located directly below which areas on the ground. A new plan gradually emerged in Geng Xuan's mind.

For this new plan, Geng Xuan took out half a day to go to Kangle Village and made a close observation of "Yunxiangju" and a small courtyard next to it.

……

In the following days, Geng Xuan used a large amount of resources to quickly improve his bone refining level, while also quickly digging a tunnel with his bare hands, and quickly digesting and absorbing the master's skills through practice.

Under this high-intensity training, after five days, the entry-level bone shrinking method ended its perceptible period of rapid improvement after contributing "one to one" bone refining achievement.

It's like the firewood has burned out and can only be heated slowly by the residual heat from the stove.

Geng Xuan did not delay and immediately threw a handful of "new firewood".

Good luck consumes six points, and the bone shrinking method is promoted from entry level to minor success.

The consumption of resources increased again, but the level of bone refining began to increase by leaps and bounds again.

At this moment, after several days of high-intensity output, the master's realm techniques have been basically digested and mastered.

A tunnel goes deep into the direction of Kangleji, but cleverly avoids the existing tunnel network.

First go down, then go up.

Finally, when Geng Xuan lifted the soil layer with one hand and saw a square stone slab, he breathed a sigh of relief.

This is consistent with what Su Ruiliang described.

He did not take action immediately, but put his ear to the stone slab and listened to the noise outside for a while. Then he gently pushed open the stone slab above his head. Through the gap, he saw a quiet and empty study.

There is a wooden plaque hanging on the wall opposite the closed door.

【Home of Good Deeds】

Everything clicked.

Geng Xuan was already certain that this was Su Ruiliang's home.

And where he was now was Su Ruiliang's study.

After confirming these, Geng Xuan did not push open the stone slab and walk out.

Instead, he slowly squatted down and slowly returned the stone slab above his head to its original position.

He returned along the tunnel he had dug with his own hands, and in the process sent all the soil he had just dug back into the tunnel under Changpingfang.

Because this newly excavated tunnel, although its cross-section is much smaller, has to "shrink" by one third in order to pile up the abandoned soil.

The disappeared part was all filled by Geng Xuan behind the blocked entrance leading to Kangleji.

Of course, in order to avoid being traced, Geng Xuan would not be so foolish as to dig only one tunnel leading directly to Su Ruiliang's study. He used the existing tunnel network to artificially create multiple "breakpoints" along the way.

In this way, even if someone finds the tunnel hidden in Su Ruiliang's study, they will not chase him here, but will only enter the tunnel network under Kangle Group.

The passage that is now used for convenient excavation will be blocked and abandoned after the excavation task is completed.

After returning, Geng Xuan burned another twenty-four points of red luck and raised his disguise technique from great success to master level.

As more and richer experiences and skills came into his mind, Geng Xuan changed his facial features and body shape into Su Ruiliang's appearance at a faster speed.

The greatest feature of this disguise technique is that it matches perfectly with the "bone shrinking method", as if it was a technology specially developed for this bone refining method.

The master's disguise technique can not only "change skin", "change flesh", and "change appearance", but also "change bones".

Compared with Su Ruiliang's height and body shape in memory, the bones also underwent slight adjustments. The two people, who originally had quite similar body shapes, were completely synchronized at this moment.

Then apply some herbal juice on your face, neck and hands to make the skin darker and rougher.

After finishing, Geng Xuan looked at himself in the water mirror and could not find any flaws.

Only then did he stop debugging with satisfaction and stepped into the tunnel.

At this point, the good luck consumed another fifty-four points.

[Remaining good fortune: 280]

Looking at the changes, Geng Xuan couldn't help but sigh in his heart. It felt like he didn't do much, but more than a hundred of his good fortunes were burned up.

It really is not forbidden to spend money at all!

……

Once again, the stone slab of the study was pushed open, and Geng Xuan, oh no, it should be "Su Ruiliang" crawled out from underground.

After gently putting the stone slab back in place, Geng Xuan searched everywhere in the house based on the information Su Ruiliang had provided.

What made him feel at ease was that all the things Su Ruiliang had instructed him to do were found, and the locations were exactly where he had instructed them to be placed.

This means that even though Su Ruiliang has not been seen for many days, there has been no thief in the house.

No one had forced their way into the house and turned things upside down.

And this is exactly what Geng Xuan is most worried about. If Su Ruiliang does not show up for a long time, not only will Su Ruiliang's things be gradually lost.

More importantly, the identity of Su Ruiliang itself will gradually become ineffective.

According to Su Ruiliang's explanation, the most valuable things among all the things found were two books on cultivation techniques.

One is "Song Tao Sword Technique" and the other is "Lianhuan Step".

Of course, there are more cultivation techniques found than these, but Geng Xuan only needs these two.

This was also what Geng Xuan had decided to invest in Hongyun's control long ago, because this was Su Ruiliang's signature method.

If he wants to use this identity, he must master these two skills.

Moreover, these two skills are what Geng Xuan needs.

There were also silver bars, small change and a large number of copper coins, with a total value of about two hundred taels.

And five blood-replenishing pills.

That's the whole reward.

Although this amount could not be compared with the gains from the annihilation of the group of ugly beggars with deformed legs, Geng Xuan was already very satisfied.

After searching out all the valuables and hiding them, Geng Xuan strode out of the courtyard.

Just next to the courtyard, separated by a wall and close to the street, is "Yunxiangju".

As Geng Xuan walked to the door, an old man came forward and greeted him respectfully, "Master."

Geng Xuan nodded and entered Yunxiangju with the old man.

The old man immediately took out an account book.

Although Yunxiangju is Su Ruiliang's property, he rarely asks about the specific business conditions of Yunxiangju. Although the distance is very close, he seldom comes here.

And every time I come here, I basically do one thing, which is to listen to the old man report on the business situation and take away the business income.

About half an hour later, Geng Xuan came out of Yunxiangju with fifty-five taels of silver in his hand.

Geng Xuan was satisfied, not because of the silver in his arms, but because the old man who had the most contact with Su Ruiliang did not find any flaws.

After walking for a while, a voice came from a nearby shop: "Lao Su!"

Geng Xuan turned his head and saw that it was Liang Jun, one of the three people he had met at the dinner table on the second floor last time.

Next to him was a man who looked to be in his forties or fifties.

This person was the one he hadn't seen at the dinner table last time, but he had seen Luo Qing from the side when the five men surrounded the "fat sheep".

Geng Xuan paused, then walked over with a smile.

"Where have you been these days? Why haven't I seen you?" Liang Jun asked curiously.
