From the fusion of Tongbei Quan to the Longevity Martial Saint

Upon seeing the notification appear on the golden interface in his field of vision, Fang Qing was taken aback and stopped cultivating.

"How come my cultivation level increased by one level after I practiced the Undying Golden Body Refining Technique once?"

The next moment, Fang Qing suddenly realized something.

[Practice the Undying Golden Body Refinement Technique once, cultivation level +1...]

[Current Progress: Minor Success in the Undying Golden Body Refinement Technique: 4%]

[Current Realm: Body Tempering Level 3...]

Seeing that his cultivation level was still at the third level of Body Tempering, Fang Qing knew that it was just as he had expected.

It's likely that Fang Qing has successfully mastered the Tongbei Divine Fist Body Tempering Technique and reached the second level of Body Tempering.

Although he has now changed his cultivation method.

The practical combat skills, martial arts insights, and experiences mastered through the Tongbei Divine Fist Body Tempering Method are still in Fang Qing's mind.

These experiences and memories will not be wasted.

In fact, it accelerated the cultivation progress of the Undying Golden Body Refining Technique.

You can master it by practicing it once during the first and second stages of Body Tempering.

This saved Fang Qing a lot of trouble.

However, Fang Qing also knew that after reaching the third level of Body Tempering, he would need to practice the Undying Golden Body Refining Technique continuously and in earnest.

After reaching the third level of Body Tempering, Fang Qing felt waves of warmth flowing through every cell of his body.

This feeling is quite different from the body tempering method of Tongbei Shenquan.

During the body tempering method of Tongbei Divine Fist, most of the warm current flowed into the arms, fists, and legs.

The Undying Golden Body Refining Method covers all parts of the body.

The warm current was very strong at the Baihui acupoint on the top of my head and the Yuzhen acupoint at the back of my head.

"The Undying Golden Body not only gives me the combat ability of the Tongbei Fist, a practical fighting style, but also provides a 360-degree, almost blind-angle all-around defense capability except for the perineum and Mingmen points."

"This makes the Undying Golden Body Body Refining Technique's defensive capabilities a qualitative leap compared to the Tongbei Divine Fist Body Refining Technique."

Fang Qing raised her arm again and looked at it.

This time, unlike the Tongbei Divine Fist Body Tempering Technique, his entire skin didn't turn bronze.

At this moment, Fang Qing's skin was no different from normal skin.

However, he knew that his skin was now so strong that it could withstand ordinary knives and spears.

"If I were to encounter Li Zaotou again now, I'd probably kill him with a single punch."

At that time, Fang Qing first used a sneak attack to hang Li Zaotou from the roof with a rope, and then fought with Li Zaotou for a long time before finally killing him.

If it were now, Fang Qing wouldn't need to exert so much effort; he could simply punch him head-on and blast him apart.

Fang Qing slowly let out a sigh of relief. Just then, he looked up and saw Zheng Shanhe walking in from the entrance of the boxing academy with his hands behind his back.

At this moment, Zheng Shanhe's eyebrows were furrowed into a knot, and he lowered his head, seemingly lost in thought.

Fang Qing walked over quickly.

He wanted to ask Zheng Shanhe if he could get a Grade C resource cultivation package now that he had successfully changed his cultivation method and reached the third level of Body Tempering.

After all, the current level D resources—two Qi-replenishing pills and two body-tempering bath packs—are far too few and simply not enough.

"Master Zheng..."

Fang Qing quickly walked over, cupped his hands in greeting to Zheng Shanhe, and began to speak.

Zheng Shanhe looked up and saw that it was Fang Qing.

He simply nodded slightly.

Without pausing at all, he walked into his backyard residence with his hands behind his back.

Fang Qing had some recollection of him; it was Fang Lingsu who had introduced him.

Seeing Zheng Shanhe's absent-minded appearance, Fang Qing immediately refrained from catching up.

"Master Zheng seems to have something on his mind. If I go over now to inform him that I have successfully changed my cultivation method, I will be in trouble."

"Is it possible that Teacher Zheng is in a bad mood and will still insist on giving me only Grade D resources?"

"Maybe I should wait for Senior Sister Zheng Yanqing."

Fang Qing already knew that Zheng Yanqing and Fang Lingsu were best friends.

In addition to the entire Shanhe Boxing Academy, Zheng Yanqing also had some say, and only some major matters required Zheng Shanhe's approval.

After thinking for a moment, Fang Qing resisted the urge to catch up with Zheng Shanhe and returned to the training ground in District D.

Fang Qing didn't seem anxious at all.

Anyway, his cultivation level is his own. As long as he cultivates little by little, no one can take it away from him.

With that in mind, Fang Qing continued practicing the Undying Golden Body Refining Technique around the wooden dummy.

The sound of the wooden dummy being hit echoed across the entire training ground once again.

……

In the evening, after returning from the boxing academy, Fang Qing rented a horse and went back to the Jinsha Saltworks to fulfill his duties as the saltworks manager.

With the Chinese New Year just around the corner, the saltworks are working overtime, producing salt with great enthusiasm.

There will be one last opportunity to deliver and store Qingyan salt at the end of the year.

After this delivery, all the salt producers at Jinsha Saltworks had a few days of rest.

If more salt is produced, everyone can receive a little more pay.

Only in this way can we have a good New Year.

In addition, Fang Qing was not as harsh on these salt farmers as Li Zaotou was.

This made all the salt farmers even more supportive of Fang Qing, this very young head of the salt-making team.

For these salt farmers at the bottom of society, it didn't matter whether the stove cook was young or old.

They will support whoever can provide them with enough to eat and wear.

The next day, Fang Qing was once again the first to arrive at the Shanhe Boxing Academy.

He took the last Body Tempering Pill.

[Mid-grade Body Tempering Pill, increases stamina by +100, absorption complete...]

[Current remaining stamina: 290...]

Fang Qing then began to practice the Undying Golden Body Refining Technique he had used that morning.

I just practiced the Undying Golden Body Refining Technique a few times.

Fang Qing looked up and saw a man and a horse, looking travel-worn, stop at the entrance of the Shanhe Boxing Academy.

Zheng Yanqing looked haggard.

The cloaks they wore were covered in dew, clearly indicating that they had traveled day and night to return to the boxing academy.

Fang Qing quickly went over and took the initiative to lead Zheng Yanqing's horse over and tie it to the stable next to him.

When Zheng Yanqing saw that it was Fang Qing, he forced a smile.

"Junior Brother Fang Qing, why are you at the boxing academy practicing so early?"

"Throughout the entire Shanhe Boxing Academy, across all the disciples in Sections A, B, and C, you, Junior Brother Fang Qing, have been the most diligent."

Seeing the tired look on Zheng Yanqing's face, Fang Qing quickly cut to the chase.

"Senior sister, I have successfully switched to a different cultivation method."

Upon hearing Fang Qing's words, Zheng Yanqing, who looked exhausted, paused in his steps as he walked into the boxing academy, turning his head in surprise to look in Fang Qing's direction.

Originally, she and Zheng Shanhe estimated that it would take Fang Qing at least two to three months to successfully change his cultivation method.

If the repairs cannot be successfully completed within three months, then Fang Qing's path in martial arts will be cut short.

Unexpectedly, in less than 10 days since I left, Fang Qing has actually managed to modify his cultivation technique!

"Junior Brother Fang Qing, you've given me a really big surprise."

"It's also a big surprise for Fang Lingsu. I believe she will be very happy and gratified to know this news."

At this point, a complex expression flashed across Zheng Yanqing's eyes.

As expected, it was his good friend Fang Lingsu who had the discerning eye to discover a martial arts genius like Fang Qing.

Otherwise, how could he have successfully changed his cultivation method in less than 10 days!
