High-level martial arts: Start with a grueling grind for the Golden Bell Shield.

It's just the name of a martial arts technique, why make it so complicated?

We also have to bear the consequences!

At this moment, Lu Lin felt a sense of absurdity, as if Bai Jingjing had gone out to ask for directions and was suddenly dragged by Supreme Treasure to a wedding ceremony.

He just couldn't bring himself to say, "I haven't brushed my teeth yet."

"Mr. Hou, you said that whatever the cause and effect, I am willing to bear it."

"You little brat, don't agree so readily now. What if people find out you're using this kind of technique later...?"

Mr. Hou shook his head. "Young man, before I tell you the name, let me tell you a story. More than three hundred years ago, my master was just over twenty years old..."

"stop!"

Lu Lin's mind was filled with thoughts of obtaining the true name of the blood clotting method.

We can listen to the stories later.

"Mr. Hou, it's just a name. Tell me first, and then tell me the story after I've refined the skin."

Mr. Hou looked at Lu Lin with sharp eyes.

Lu Lin neither dodged nor avoided.

a long time.

Mr. Hou sighed, "Very well, actually there is no such thing as the Four Seasons Blood Clotting Method in this world. The technique I taught you is just the most basic part of the real technique."

"This complete technique is called the Four Sacred Arts."

"The Four Sacred Arts?"

"Well, I won't tell you about the origin of this technique yet. Go back and practice it diligently."

"Blood clotting is just the simplest step; countless challenges await you in the future."

"It's not just about the cultivation hurdles. The Four Sacred Arts were split in two several years ago. What I have is enough to allow you to cultivate to the Five Organs level of perfection. As for the rest, if you want to obtain it..."

"Difficult, difficult, difficult!"

Mr. Hou looked up at the sky.

Although he only said the word "difficult" three times, Lu Lin felt a deep sense of powerlessness.

However, the next second, a message appeared on Lu Lin's panel.

【Four Sacred Skills (Incomplete): First Level, Great Success, 0/1 (+)】

The plus sign at the end made Lu Lin realize that it was time to show his true skills.

Once he uses up his refinement attempts, he can immediately advance to the Skin Refining level.

As long as he can obtain countless attempts to improve, the challenges Mr. Hou mentioned are nothing at all.

Lu Lin looked very confident.

Mr. Hou noticed this and nodded with satisfaction. "That's right. When I learned about this matter back then, I was just like you. But now, I can only waste my time at the level of perfect five internal organs."

"Lu Lin, if you ever obtain the later parts of the Four Saints Technique in the future, please be sure to share them with me."

"Mr. Hou, rest assured, Lu Lin will surely repay the favor of today's reward in the future."

Lu Lin solemnly made a promise.

First of all, he is not an ungrateful person.

Secondly, he had no relation to Mr. Hou, and since Mr. Hou had given him credit, he should reciprocate.

Finally, Lu Lin pointed to the cultivation techniques behind him.

Mr. Hou made it clear that Lu Lin was able to cultivate the Four Sacred Arts to the point of perfect mastery of the five internal organs.

If he doesn't make a proper statement now, and Mr. Hou becomes too protective of his knowledge and refuses to give him the technique, then things will get bad.

"Alright, Lu Lin, I will pass on my skills to you, and you should become my disciple."

"However, since you already rejected me that day, I will not bring it up again."

"Besides, I have my own karma to carry, and I don't need you to help me out. Let's leave it at that. If you need anything in the future, just come find me. Go now."

"Thank you, Mr. Hou!"

Lu Lin bowed respectfully to Mr. Hou before stepping back and leaving. Before leaving, he even helped Mr. Hou close the courtyard gate.

Mr. Hou stared blankly at Lu Lin's receding figure for a long time.

……

along the way.

Lu Lin suppressed his excitement.

Back in the courtyard, Lu Lin practiced standing meditation for two hours straight before he could calm down.

He sat cross-legged in the courtyard.

Lu Lin's breathing was even, and his mind was at peace.

He opened the panel and clicked the plus sign next to the Four Sacred Arts.

moment.

Lu Lin felt as if he had fallen into a furnace.

The body temperature soared rapidly.

The scattered vital energy was gathered together by an inexplicable force.

One strand, two strands.

One strand, two strands.

Gradually, a pillar of vital energy and blood, even thicker and more vigorous than yesterday, appeared in Lu Lin's body.

The pillar of Qi and blood did not immediately impact the acupoints of the body, but instead circulated throughout the body.

Left arm, right arm.

Left leg, right leg.

Chest, back, head, and finally back to the heart.

Repeat this process twelve times.

Lu Lin felt that his body was brimming with vitality to the extreme.

If there is no breakthrough, he might explode and die in the next second.

really.

Lu Lin's guess was correct; slight cracks appeared on his skin.

His skin had turned into something like an eggshell.

Lightweight.

fragile.

The crack continued to widen.

The blood vessels and muscles under the skin were exposed.

The crack continued to deepen.

Even without internal observation, one can see Lu Lin's bones with the naked eye.

But the cracking did not stop.

The flow of qi and blood within the body did not stop.

After another twelve cycles.

Lu Lin's bones were covered with cracks.

His internal organs became shriveled, his blood evaporated, his hair dried up, and his skin became rotten.

It was as if, in the next second, Lu Lin would become a skeleton weathered by time.

That's right.

Lu Lin, who was sitting upright on the ground in the small courtyard, turned into a pile of dust and scattered on the ground.

However, another phantom image of Lu Lin appeared in the same spot.

An acupoint appeared on the chest of the phantom.

The pillar of Qi and blood, as it circulates, grows much stronger and rushes towards the acupoints.

boom--

It was as if the world had just been created.

It was as if the sky had fallen and the earth had cracked.

The acupoints and portals are wide open.

Using Lu Lin's illusory image as a base, the energy between heaven and earth gathered together, like piling sand to form a tower, to reshape a physical body for Lu Lin.

Lu Lin snapped out of his daze.

He witnessed everything that just happened.

But when I touched my skin, the texture felt real.

There was also a faint white line left on the spot on the left shoulder where the stab wound had been. It was almost invisible.

reality?

It's still an illusion.

Lu Lin couldn't tell the difference, but he knew that from now on, he was the Skin Refiner Martial Artist, Lu Lin.

Introspecting within the body.

A flame flickered in his chest.

Lu Lin knew that this was the pillar of qi and blood that had been condensed in his body before.

The next step in cultivation is to allow this flame of qi and blood to grow continuously, tempering the skin until it advances to the next realm.

This flow of qi and blood is the true qi and blood.

Lu Lin can practice the skin-refining techniques that only martial artists can practice, as well as sword and saber techniques, and the Dragon-Tiger Golden Bell Cover that he has been studying for a long time.

The night was just beginning to lighten.

Lu Lin put on a robe and took out the Dragon Tiger Golden Bell Cover to study.

"Hmm? Wait a minute, this Dragon Tiger Golden Bell Cover was handwritten and hand-drawn by Mr. Hou."

"The previous four-season blood clotting method was also handwritten and hand-drawn."

"Could it be that the Dragon-Tiger Golden Bell Shield is also part of the Four Sacred Skills? Or perhaps it's simply the second level of the Four Sacred Skills?"

Lu Lin was greatly shaken and began to cultivate the Dragon Tiger Golden Bell Shield.

As long as the panel records it, he will naturally know it and will not need to ask Mr. Hou.

Lu Lin manipulated his qi and blood to begin cultivating.

Suddenly, a message appeared before Lu Lin's eyes.
