From breaking the limits of archery to achieving martial arts godhood

"Glug glug," a kettle of water is boiling.

The kitchen door was opened, and a gust of cold wind, carrying fine snowflakes, rushed in.

Chen Xun opened the door.

He walked into the kitchen, and behind him, snow was falling gently.

Today, the first snow of winter fell.

The world has officially entered winter.

After glancing at the water that had already boiled, Chen Xun went to the cupboard, opened it, and took out a white porcelain bottle.

There are eleven white porcelain vases like these in the entire cabinet.

But the other ten were all crammed into the corner, while this one was placed in the most conspicuous position.

Then, Chen Xun took a ceramic bowl, poured in a bowl of boiling water, and immediately steam rose from it.

Next, Chen Xun removed the stopper from the white porcelain bottle and carefully poured the powder inside into the bowl.

The hot water in the earthenware bowl only gradually turned red when the mouth of the white porcelain bottle was perpendicular to the table.

"We've used up the last bottle of blood-activating powder."

Chen Xun sighed and tossed the white porcelain bottle in his hand into the corner of the cupboard.

Then, Chen Xun drank the still-hot blood-activating medicinal soup in one gulp.

Even after drinking it for almost a month, Chen Xun still frowned from the bitter taste of the blood-activating soup.

Then he picked up a piece of salted meat from a plate, put it in his mouth, and used it to counteract the bitterness.

While chewing on salted meat, Chen Xun entered the inner room, bent his legs, and assumed a very graceful stance.

After swallowing the salted meat, Chen Xun quickly entered a state of cultivation.

In less than ten minutes, a surge of vital energy condensed within Chen Xun's body.

Immediately afterwards, 15 seconds later, this mass of qi and blood was condensed into a wisp of qi and blood, which was then circulated to Chen Xun's face.

As you can see, Chen Xun's face was completely red at this moment.

Clearly, in just half a month, Chen Xun's cultivation level had made great progress.

that's the truth.

In the past two weeks, Chen Xun not only completed the enhancement of his entire body, but also enhanced half of his face.

With the help of another bottle of blood-activating powder, he would be able to quickly strengthen the skin and flesh of his face and successfully reach the peak of the Bull Skin Realm.

In addition to his progress in cultivation, Chen Xun's stance training and breathing techniques have also improved significantly, and he is about to break through in his stance training.

[Bull Demon Stance Skill (Mastery 84%)]

[Bull Demon Breathing Technique (Mastery 52%)]

Then comes the accumulation of money.

Within half a month, Chen Xun went into the mountains five times.

Although I didn't reap as much as the first time, I've still accumulated quite a bit over time.

Adding his previous savings, he now has a total of 94 taels, 3 mace, and 23 cash, which is close to one hundred taels of silver.

This amount of silver is enough for now.

After cultivating for more than an hour, Chen Xun finished digesting the last bit of the blood-activating medicinal soup.

Chen Xun exhaled a breath of turbid air, which transformed into a long, arrow-like column of mist that struck the wall and quickly dissipated.

"Go buy another bottle of blood-activating powder."

After putting on a rather thin coat, Chen Xun left the room.

Looking up at the sky, I saw that the snow was falling heavier.

Looking down, I saw that the ground was still covered with a thin layer of snow.

When you step on it, you can hear a "creaking" sound.

Pushing open the courtyard gate, Chen Xun walked towards Chen Family Fort.

Along the way, apart from the sound of the wind, there was only desolation.

The usually bustling Chenjia Village was unusually quiet at this moment.

Chen Xun walked silently on the snow, leaving a clear trail of footprints behind him, imprinted on the snow.

Upon arriving at the entrance of Chenjiabao, the two guards were wrapped in overcoats and huddled together.

Upon seeing that it was Chen Xun, they were all very enthusiastic. The slaps they had given themselves last time had long since subsided, but you could still vaguely see that their mouths were slightly crooked.

It has to be said that these two are incredibly ruthless towards themselves.

"Looking for Brother."

The two smiled somewhat ingratiatingly.

"Um."

Chen Xun nodded to the two of them and then walked straight into Chen Family Fort.

Inside the fortress, the martial arts training ground is still frequented by many martial artists who are honing their skills and strength.

The martial artists' powerful energy and blood prevented the entire training ground from accumulating even a single snowflake; they melted almost completely before they even fell.

Martial arts room, medicine area.

The medicine section was unusually quiet today, with only Chen Xun there. Pharmacist Luo was sitting in a recliner, resting with his eyes closed.

Chen Xun walked briskly toward the pharmacist apprentice on duty and bought three bottles of blood-activating powder.

As Chen Xun spoke, Pharmacist Luo, who was on the recliner, opened his slightly closed eyes. What was meant to be a casual glance made him pause and sit up straight.

Just as Chen Xun was about to leave after buying the blood-activating powder, a voice suddenly stopped him.

"Young man, what's your name?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Xun looked in the direction of the voice and found it was Na Luo, the pharmacist.

At this moment, the pharmacist Luo was looking at him with great interest.

"Pharmacist Luo," Chen Xun first cupped his hands in greeting, then politely replied, "My name is Chen Xun."

"Chen Xun, I've heard of that name. They say you're the number one genius in Chen Family Fortress."

"I dare not accept such praise," Chen Xun quickly waved his hand, "I am just an ordinary martial artist."

Upon hearing this, Pharmacist Luo looked at Chen Xun with a half-smile.

"Really? I don't think you're ordinary at all."

These words made Chen Xun's heart skip a beat.

Pharmacist Luo continued, "At first, I didn't take your reputation seriously. After all, what kind of genius could a martial artist from a small place produce?"

"Seeing you now has made me overturn my previous thoughts."

"You are indeed a genius, and you can certainly be called the number one genius of Chenjiabao."

Pharmacist Luo looked Chen Xun up and down, then nodded seriously.

"Your foundation is solid, and your qi and blood are not weak at all. It is obvious that you have cultivated step by step on your own, yet you have made such rapid progress. It seems that your talent is truly extraordinary."

Upon hearing this, Chen Xun's expression changed uncontrollably.

He never expected that his hidden progress in cultivation would be seen through by this Pharmacist Luo at a glance.

"What do you want to do?"

Chen Xun looked at him warily.

"Judging from your appearance, it seems you haven't revealed your current cultivation progress to anyone?"

Pharmacist Luo looked at Chen Xun with some surprise.

Chen Xun remained silent, only staring intently at Pharmacist Luo.

"Not bad, not bad," suddenly Pharmacist Luo laughed.

"At such a young age, you already know how to hide your talents. It seems you are more outstanding than I thought."

"Relax, I meant no harm."

Chen Xun naturally wouldn't easily believe the other party, and his expression remained tense.

Seeing this, Pharmacist Luo didn't explain anything further. Instead, he leaned closer to Chen Xun and whispered, "If you can break through to the Iron Skin Realm after this winter, I will give you a chance."

"Of course, you also have to fulfill one of my wishes."

"This is a deal between the two of us."

After saying that, Pharmacist Luo ignored Chen Xun and lay back down on the recliner.

Chen Xun's expression was somewhat uncertain. Finally, he took a deep look at the closed-eyed Pharmacist Luo before turning and leaving.

After Chen Xun left, Pharmacist Luo opened his eyes, looked at his disappearing figure, and smiled.

"I never expected that such a small place could produce such a genius."

"Moreover, he knows how to keep a low profile, which is truly remarkable."

"If he can grow up, perhaps he can really help me fulfill that wish."

Thinking of this, a deep hatred flashed in Pharmacist Luo's eyes.

Clearly, he is a man with a story.

On the other hand, Chen Xun did not linger in Chenjiabao and quickly returned home.

Seeing his familiar home, Chen Xun finally breathed a sigh of relief, and the tension and panic in his heart eased somewhat.

Then, he sat down at the table, poured himself a glass of cold water, and drank it all in one gulp.

"What exactly is this Pharmacist Luo trying to do?"

"And who is he?"

Two questions lingered in Chen Xun's mind.

After a long while, Chen Xun shook his head, still without an answer.

"Forget it, I won't think about it anymore. Whatever he wants to do, I just need to focus on improving my strength."

"As long as my strength reaches a certain level, I will overcome any conspiracy or trickery with my own strength."

Chen Xun stopped thinking about it and started boiling water to make a blood-activating decoction.
