From breaking the limits of archery to achieving martial arts godhood

The next day, Chen Ji's house was set up as a mourning hall, and Chen Xun, as his nephew, naturally had to go and help, and even keep vigil.

This is something that cannot be shirked, otherwise one will bear the bad reputation of being unfilial.

If his reputation were ruined, it would be a terrible thing for Chen Xun right now.

Therefore, although Chen Xun was unwilling, he had no choice but to temporarily stop his cultivation and go to help.

Many people have already arrived at Chen Ji's house.

Upon seeing Chen Xun, they all greeted him warmly.

These are all relatives of Chen Ji.

Naturally, some of them were Chen Xun's relatives.

"Xiao Xun has made something of himself. I heard you've become a martial artist. If your father were still alive, he would be so proud of you."

No sooner had someone said that than someone tugged at their sleeve.

This is clearly a reminder that the other person has said something wrong.

After all, his father had just died, and then his uncle had died, both of whom were poisoned. It was obviously inappropriate to say such things at this time.

The man immediately realized what he meant and said awkwardly, "Xiao Xun, that's not what I meant."

"I know."

Chen Xun didn't blame the other person, which immediately put the man at ease.

Because Chen Xun became a martial artist, many relatives who didn't usually keep in touch with him started trying to build relationships with him.

Chen Xun was impatient, but he didn't show any coldness and just casually replied to them.

Suddenly, Chen Xun felt a hostile gaze.

He glanced at it out of the corner of his eye and saw that it was Chen Ji's eldest son, Chen Feng.

Chen Feng looked at him with hatred in his eyes.

"This is ridiculous. Is he blaming me for Chen Ji's death?"

Chen Xun was speechless when he thought about this.

And indeed, things turned out exactly as Chen Xun had guessed.

"Damn Chen Xun, if it weren't for killing you, my father wouldn't have bought those poisonous scorpions, and he wouldn't have poisoned himself to death."

Chen Feng looked at Chen Xun, thinking to himself.

It's not surprising that he had such thoughts; after all, it's better to blame others than to reflect on oneself.

As long as you attribute all the reasons to others, you are not at fault.

Before Chen Ji's memorial tablet, Chen Ji's wife wept bitterly, not only for Chen Ji, but also for herself and her children.

With the family losing its pillar of support, the future is destined to be difficult.

Chen Yumo also knelt in front of the mourning hall and cried, purely out of grief.

Chen Xun didn't feign tears; instead, he solemnly lit three incense sticks and stood aside.

He had no feelings for Chen Ji, and if Chen Ji hadn't died unexpectedly, he would have killed him with his own hands in the end.

Inside the mourning hall, there was nothing for Chen Xun to do, so he circulated the [Bull Demon Breathing Technique] within his body to increase the experience points of the breathing technique.

[Bull Demon Breathing Technique Experience Points +1]

[Bull Demon Breathing Technique Experience Points +1]

……

Every minute, a line of text like this would float past Chen Xun's eyes, bringing him peace of mind.

After cultivating for so long, suddenly stopping feels really strange, and there's a sense of unease in my heart.

Chen Ji's body was kept in the mourning hall for seven days. After the seventh day memorial, it was taken to the Chen family cemetery for burial.

The Chen Family Cemetery is located on Baihu Mountain. It is usually guarded by tomb keepers to prevent wild animals from digging up the graves and eating the corpses.

During these seven days, except for the first day and the day of Chen Ji's burial, when Chen Xun revealed his true form, he remained hidden and cultivated at home.

No one will say anything about this.

In seven days, Chen Xun used up two more doses of the Blood-Activating Powder.

His cultivation level improved again. His right leg was fully strengthened, and he began to strengthen the skin and flesh of his left thigh area.

The strengthening of the skin and muscles in his legs greatly improved Chen Xun's jumping ability and speed.

Chen Xun can now jump three meters off the ground with a powerful leap.

In other words, he can easily jump onto the roof of his own house while standing on the ground.

As for speed, it has increased by about 30% compared to before.

When it runs, it's like a whirlwind, capable of whipping up a withered yellow leaf from the ground.

Then comes stance training and breathing exercises.

[Bull Demon Stance Skill (Mastery 35%)]

[Bull Demon Breathing Technique (Mastery 5%)]

The progress of the pile driving has increased by 23%, which is a slow pace.

The breathing technique has achieved a breakthrough, reaching a state of mastery.

The [Bull Demon Breathing Technique] at its peak level reduced the time it took Chen Xun to complete one cycle of breathing to 20 seconds.

A ball of vital energy can be quickly condensed into vital energy by circulating the breathing technique once, which takes 20 seconds.

Furthermore, the quality of the condensed qi and blood was very high, greatly increasing the speed at which Chen Xun's body was strengthened.

The body absorbs high-quality Qi and blood quickly and efficiently.

Previously, it would take Chen Xun's body about half a minute to absorb a wisp of qi and blood, but now it only takes 10 seconds.

Same parts, such as the left calf and the right calf.

The right calf absorbed approximately 150 strands of Qi and blood to complete the full strengthening process.

The left calf only needs to absorb 130 strands of Qi and blood to complete the strengthening process.

When Chen Xun was strengthening his left calf, his breathing technique had just reached a high level of mastery, so he was using higher quality Qi and blood.

Three more days passed, and Chen Xun completed the strengthening of both legs, then began to strengthen his body.

At this moment, he only had five doses of the blood-activating powder left in his hand.

He only had 28 taels of silver left.

Meanwhile, the weather outside has turned to late autumn, and the temperature is rapidly dropping.

It is expected that winter will arrive and it will snow in another half month to a month.

Today, Chen Xun did not continue his cultivation. Instead, he picked up his hunting bow and went outside.

He's going hunting.

He didn't have much money left, so he had to go and earn more.

It should be noted that the Blood-Activating Powder was relatively inexpensive, costing only 1 tael of silver per serving.

However, the price of the blood-tonifying powder was 5 taels of silver per serving, which was four times more expensive than the blood-activating powder.

Given Chen Xun's cultivation speed, he would probably reach the peak of the Bullhide Realm in less than a month.

At that time, as long as one undergoes a transformation of qi and blood, one can break through to the Stone Skin Realm.

To drive the transformation of Qi and blood, the prerequisite is to master the [Mighty Bull Demon Fist].

For others, it takes a considerable amount of time to advance the [Mighty Bull Demon Fist] from the beginner level to the proficient level.

But for Chen Xun, it wouldn't waste much of his time.

Therefore, he was confident that he could easily overcome this hurdle.

The only difficulty is the cultivation resources after the breakthrough.

With his current wealth, he could only afford to buy five doses of the blood-nourishing powder that cost five taels of silver.

Even if his absorption efficiency of these medicinal powders far exceeds that of ordinary people, five doses of blood-replenishing powder cannot support him to complete the Stone Skin Realm.

Therefore, he wanted to go up the mountain to hunt some game to earn money before the heavy snow blocked the mountain.

Otherwise, once the mountains are blocked by heavy snow and the animals hide away for the winter, no matter how skilled he is at archery, he won't be able to catch much.

Soon, Chen Xun entered White Tiger Mountain.

Walking along the mountain path, Chen Xun constantly surveyed his surroundings, searching for suitable prey.

Unfortunately, even pheasants and rabbits are now rare.

With a "whoosh," Chen Xun suddenly fired an arrow, accurately hitting a pheasant in the head.

After convulsing a few times, the pheasant collapsed and died.

Chen Xun pushed aside the bushes blocking his path and picked up the pheasant.

This pheasant is much larger than a regular pheasant and is very plump.

But this was not the main reason Chen Xun hunted it.

The next moment, Chen Xun pulled out a small knife from his waist, slit the pheasant's throat, tied a rope to the pheasant's foot, and then dragged it along the ground.

Chen Xun was fishing, no, he was fishing for wild animals.

They lure prey with the scent of blood and then hunt them down.

Only a hunter who is extremely confident in himself would dare to do this.

Otherwise, if things go wrong, the roles of prey and hunter can be reversed immediately.

Dragging the pheasant's carcass, Chen Xun began to wander around White Tiger Mountain.

After wandering around for less than 5 minutes, the first prey appeared: a gray fox, following behind Chen Xun and licking the pheasant blood left on the ground.

"Since you dare to take my bait, don't blame me for being impolite."

Chen Xun immediately took the hunting bow from his back, nocked an arrow, and quickly shot it.

The whistling of the arrow alerted the fox, but the arrow was too fast for it to react in time. It was struck in the head and died instantly.

Walking to the fox carcass, Chen Xun also bled the fox.

The gray fox's fur didn't fetch much money, and its meat was also very fishy and smelly, so it didn't sell for much either. Chen Xun used it as the second bait.

And so, Chen Xun dragged two baits along, attracting many wild beasts that were itching to attack.
