From breaking the limits of archery to achieving martial arts godhood

The medicine gang's headquarters was bustling and noisy.

Chen Xun saw that many buildings had been destroyed.

There were also some bloodstains on the ground that had not yet been cleaned up.

These were all caused by those vultures from the county town.

Many members of the Medicine Clan cursed and swore upon learning of this.

After returning to the Medicine Gang's base, Chen Xun first went to his room.

After splashing some cold water and quickly washing off the stains, Chen Xun threw his blood-stained clothes on the ground and lay down on the bed, falling into a deep sleep.

Having not slept all night, and with his mind constantly under high tension, he was completely exhausted.

He slept soundly until the afternoon without being disturbed.

After getting up, Chen Xun went out and found that the gang was still lively and noisy.

On his way to the canteen, he saw many disciples busy at work.

Some were busy cleaning, some were busy rebuilding buildings, some were busy moving various supplies obtained from the Blood Hand Gang's base, and some were busy taking care of the wounded.

None of this has anything to do with Chen Xun.

As one of the participants in last night's mission, he was given a three-day vacation.

Three days later, the merits will be assessed and rewards will be distributed.

In last night's battle, Chen Xun killed at least twenty Blood Hand Gang warriors, including many Iron Bone Realm warriors.

Therefore, while his contribution may not be the greatest, it is certainly not the least significant.

Moreover, his merits were easy to count. As long as the corpse had arrow wounds in vital areas, he was the one who killed them, and that would be recorded in his merit book.

When Chen Xun arrived at the cafeteria, there were more people than he had expected.

He saw several of his comrades who had fought alongside him the previous night.

Clearly, these people, like him, had also slept until now.

However, compared to Chen Xun's energetic demeanor, they were still extremely tired and kept yawning.

It's very likely that he didn't wake up naturally, but rather because he was hungry.

Upon seeing Chen Xun, the group greeted him.

One of them was particularly enthusiastic.

The reason was simple: Chen Xun saved his life.

He was almost killed by a Blood Hand Gang Iron Bone Realm warrior when suddenly an arrow shot out and blew the Iron Bone Realm warrior's head off. The arrow entered through the eye socket and came out through the back of the head.

They successfully saved his life.

Afterwards, he inquired and learned that it was Chen Xun who had done it.

He didn't know Chen Xun, but when he heard others greeting Chen Xun and calling out his name, he immediately knew that his savior was right in front of him.

So, he perked up and chatted with Chen Xun for a while.

During their conversation, Chen Xun learned that the man's name was Song Baicao, and his father was a pharmacist in the Medicine Clan who could make Bone Tempering Pills.

This made Chen Xun's eyes light up.

Even within the medicine guild, there are very few pharmacists like this.

If we could make friends with them, we might be able to get a few more Bone Tempering Pills from them.

He has already used up his credit limit for this month, and there is still some time before next month.

After using up the two Bone Tempering Pills he had, Chen Xun would have no more Bone Tempering Pills left for cultivation.

This will undoubtedly slow down the speed at which his cultivation improves.

So, with his flattery, he quickly became friends with Song Baicao.

They also made an appointment to visit each other's homes next time.

This was precisely Chen Xun's purpose.

When we meet his father, considering that Chen Xun saved his son, it wouldn't be unreasonable to give him a few Bone Tempering Pills at the original price, even if it's not a gift.

After having a hearty meal in the cafeteria, Chen Xun said goodbye to Song Baicao and returned to his room.

At this moment, he was full of energy, and the first thing he did upon returning was to take the Bone Tempering Pill and begin his cultivation.

It took Chen Xun a day and a half to fully digest the medicinal power of this Bone Tempering Pill.

Bone Forging Realm (Iron Bones 12%) → (Iron Bones 20%)

As before, this Bone Tempering Pill also provided Chen Xun with 8% of his cultivation progress.

The 20% progress directly tempered the bones in Chen Xun's arms into iron bones, greatly increasing bone density.

Of course, it is not as heavy as real iron, but its sturdiness is no less than that of refined iron, and may even be greater.

In addition, Chen Xun's physical body has also been greatly enhanced, and his skin defense has become increasingly strong.

After refining the second Bone Tempering Pill, Chen Xun did not rush to refine the third one.

Instead, they switched to taking Boiling Blood Powder.

A single packet of Boiling Blood Powder can also provide Chen Xun with 2% of his cultivation progress.

However, it takes most of the day to refine it.

In terms of efficiency, it is not as good as the Bone Tempering Pill.

Two packets of Boiling Blood Powder were refined in succession, and more than a day passed just like that.

Bone Forging Realm (Iron Bones 20%) → (Iron Bones 24%)

Just then, Chen Xun's three-day rest period came to an end.

On this day, the Medicine Clan held an awards ceremony, which all Medicine Clan disciples were required to participate in, at the Medicine Clan's largest martial arts arena.

In an instant, the empty training ground was packed with hundreds of Medicine Clan disciples, who craned their necks to look at the temporary award platform set up in the middle of the training ground.

On the stage, the gang leader and the four elders were present.

There were also dozens of disciples standing behind the gang leader and elders. Judging from their attire, the lowest-ranking disciples were all elite disciples.

Chen Xun was among these dozens of disciples.

"Brother Tiger, look, isn't that Chen Xun?"

Below, some people recognized Chen Xun; it was Chen He.

Beside Chen He were Chen Hu and Chen Ye, who were watching the commotion.

The two didn't see Chen Xun immediately, but after hearing Chen He's words, they noticed Chen Xun in the direction he was pointing.

"It really is Xiao Xun."

Chen Hu was also very surprised.

"Why did Xiao Xun go up there too? Did he participate in that operation three days ago as well?"

There are all sorts of rumors circulating about the decisive battle three days ago.

Those who were unable to participate deeply regret it and feel sorry for them.

Some of those involved boasted about it, while others remained tight-lipped and didn't want to talk about it.

For the past three days, Chen Hu and his two companions have been extremely busy, as taking over the entire Blood Hand Gang and appeasing the people of Zhang District are both arduous and complicated tasks.

Once this busy period is over, they will be able to return to Chenjia Village.

However, none of the three of them really wanted to go back.

Like a frog that has jumped out of a well and seen a wider sky, it would be more painful to put it back into the cramped well than to kill it.

"Is that really Chen Xun?"

Chen Ye looked on in disbelief.

Then, a feeling of regret involuntarily arose in my heart.

If he had known Chen Xun would get to this point, he would never have treated Chen Xun that way back then.

What he didn't know was that what happened next would only intensify his feelings of regret.

On the stage, gang leader Song Tianxing is giving a speech.

He was very emotional and talked at length about the history of the Ping An Song family and the medicine gang.

Then they talked about merging with the Blood Hand Gang and dominating the entire Ping An Town.

"In the past, the Blood Hand Gang and our Medicine Gang jointly governed Ping'an Town."

"Right now, our Medicine Gang is the only force in Ping'an Town."

"In the future, our Medicine Gang will develop rapidly, and more Bone Forging Realm and even Blood Exchange Realm warriors will emerge among you."

Let us all strive together.

Let's encourage each other.

In an instant, the entire training ground resounded with thunderous shouts.

People passing by outside the medicine gang's camp stopped to listen when they heard the sound, and then their faces lit up with hopeful smiles.

After Song Tianxing finished his speech, it was the turn of the four elders.

However, they didn't talk for very long, only giving a general overview of the future plans and development direction of Yaobang.

Then comes today's main event: recognizing and rewarding outstanding disciples.

This is both to commend the disciples for their bravery in battle and to encourage other disciples to contribute to the gang.

The first to receive recognition, and the one with the greatest merit, was undoubtedly Song Que, the leader of the three heroes, followed by Song Yufeng.

Although Song Yufeng allowed Zhang Tianming to escape, he still managed to restrain Zhang Tianming and prevent him from causing greater damage to the Medicine Gang, so his contribution was still considerable.

Third is Song Wuji. His men caused considerable chaos for the Blood Hand Gang and indirectly helped Song Tianxing kill the leader of the Medicine Gang.

It turned out that that night, Song Tianxing, using information provided by an undercover agent from the Blood Hand Gang, searched several locations that seemed to be where the Blood Hand Gang leader was in seclusion, and finally found him.

At that time, the opponent had not yet fully digested the medicinal power of the half-herb. After Song Tianxing found them, the two sides engaged in a great battle.

At the crucial moment of the battle, the Blood Hand Gang set off a huge fire. Taking advantage of the situation, Song Tianxing used words to persuade them, falsely claiming that the Medicine Gang had gained the upper hand and would soon wipe out the Blood Hand Gang.

The leader of the Blood Hand Gang believed it to be true and was thrown into chaos. Song Tianxing seized the opportunity and took him down in one blow.

However, the Blood Hand Gang leader's last stand before his death also caused Song Tianxing considerable internal injuries.

The top three were all disciples of the Medicine Clan, which was acceptable to the other disciples, since they were the three strongest among them.

However, when the fourth place was announced, it surprised many disciples.

"The person I want to especially praise here is Chen Xun, an elite disciple of my Medicine Clan."

"Chen Xunnian is only 15 years old, but he has already reached the Stone Skin Realm. He is also proficient in archery and can reverse the Qi and Blood Realm to defeat the Bone Forging Realm. He is a rare talent in our Medicine Gang."

"In this battle, Chen Xun single-handedly killed 21 Blood Hand Gang disciples, including three Bone Forging Realm warriors, and also saved five Medicine Gang disciples. His contribution was immense."

Actually, there were more than five, but of the disciples Chen Xun saved, only five survived.

Many disciples were stunned when they heard Song Tianxing recount this series of achievements.

"Is it that powerful?"

"So, archery skills can be this good."

After that, many disciples began to study archery, and eventually a few archery geniuses emerged.

But this is all for later.

"Elite disciple Chen Xun is hereby awarded 500 contribution points."

Upon hearing this number, the envious, jealous, and hateful gazes of the disciples below the stage almost overwhelmed Chen Xun on the stage.

Chen Xun remained calm and composed, cupping his fists in thanks to Song Tianxing: "Thank you for the reward, Chief."

"You deserve this."

"You're very good, I have high hopes for you."

As he spoke, Song Tianxing patted Chen Xun on the shoulder, looking at him with admiration.

In his eyes, Chen Xun was a very suitable candidate to be his guardian disciple.

Later, Chen Xun married a woman from the Song family and became a member of the Song family.

The commendation ceremony then continued.
