From breaking the limits of archery to achieving martial arts godhood

Chapter 97 Marrow Cleansing Pill

【Bone Forging Realm (Golden Bones 100%)】

Chen Xun's cultivation level finally reached the peak of the Golden Bone Realm.

At this moment, he still had two Golden Bone Pills left in his hand.

If someone could see through things, they would see that Chen Xun's entire skeleton had turned a faint gold color.

As his cultivation level increases, the color of his golden bones will become more and more intense, and they will also become harder and harder.

Ultimately, it might even reach a level comparable to divine weapons of blood and qi.

"I've finally reached the peak of the Golden Bone Realm. The next step is to break through to the Blood Exchange Realm."

Chen Xun sighed.

He put in a lot of effort to achieve this.

"It's time to start preparing for breaking through to the Blood Exchange Realm."

Chen Xun muttered to himself.

The Blood Exchange Realm, as the name suggests, is about replacing the blood in one's body and condensing even more wondrous blood.

This process requires stimulating the bone marrow's hematopoietic function to rapidly produce new blood and eliminate old blood.

Rapidly producing new blood places a heavy burden on the bones.

Therefore, people with poor foundations who forcibly break through to the Blood Exchange Realm find it difficult to continue improving their cultivation because their bone strength is low and they cannot withstand the pressure of continuing to exchange blood.

Forcing a boost will only cause the body to lose control; the best outcome will be to save the life but leave the body paralyzed.

More often than not, the blood in the body goes out of control, eventually bursting through the skin and resulting in a gruesome death.

Therefore, many martial artists stay at the Bone Forging Realm for a long time in order to hone their foundation and strength.

Generally, those who are forcibly promoted from the Iron Bone Realm to the Blood Exchange Realm can only exchange blood twice at most in the Blood Exchange Realm, which is already their limit.

Three blood transfusions create a huge gap.

A Silver Bone Realm warrior can undergo a maximum of six blood exchanges in the Blood Exchange Realm.

As for martial artists in the Golden Bone Realm, they can exchange blood a maximum of nine times in the Blood Exchange Realm.

Nine blood exchanges make one the most powerful being in the Blood Exchange Realm.

Its combat strength is no weaker than some martial artists in the Inner Marrow Realm.

However, very few people can undergo nine blood exchange sessions in the Blood Exchange Realm.

Because the Golden Bone Realm is rare, and its resources are even rarer.

Each time the bloodline is changed, more resources are needed than the last time.

With such a progressive approach, one can imagine how many resources would be consumed by nine blood transfusions.

This is also a considerable burden for many powerful forces.

Therefore, many geniuses from powerful factions have to fight tooth and nail to compete for more resources.

These powerful forces also want to select the most outstanding talents, so they usually stand idly by and watch the fights between their disciples.

Only the strongest deserve the best resources.

Let's return to the preparations needed to break through to the Blood Exchange Realm.

First is a [Marrow Cleansing Pill], which is essential for a breakthrough.

【Marrow Cleansing Pill】can stimulate the bone marrow in the bones to produce new blood.

Then comes the medicinal bath.

During a breakthrough, one must immerse oneself in a medicinal bath to absorb its medicinal power, providing a continuous source of energy for the bone marrow to produce new blood.

These medicinal baths all need to be prepared according to a specific formula in order to activate the medicinal properties of the herbs.

Otherwise, mixing a bunch of precious medicinal herbs together will only lead to a conflict of medicinal properties. The violent medicinal power will surge into the body, which will not only not help, but may even kill the person.

Therefore, similar medicinal bath formulas are treasured by major powers and are not easily leaked.

Therefore, many martial artists in the Bone Forging Realm who aspire to break through to the Blood Exchange Realm will join a certain force to accumulate merits in exchange for a chance to break through.

Fortunately, Chen Xun didn't need to do that.

When his pharmaceutical skills reached the pinnacle, he had already obtained several medicinal bath formulas from the memories instilled during the breakthrough.

Among them is a medicinal bath formula for breaking through the Blood Exchange Realm.

Once these two items are collected, any martial artist in the Bone Forging Realm can prepare to break through to the Blood Exchange Realm.

It's simply a matter of success rate.

If you are at the Iron Bone Realm, your success rate is less than 30%.

The success rate of breaking through to the Silver Bone Realm can be increased to 70%. Basically, if you're not too unlucky, you can break through smoothly.

As for the Golden Bone Realm, there is a 100% chance of successfully breaking through.

I have never heard of any Golden Bone Realm martial artist failing when trying to break through to the Blood Exchange Realm.

Afterwards, Chen Xun went out and visited various pharmacies to purchase the medicinal herbs needed for the medicinal bath.

Most of these medicinal herbs are quite precious and have been stored for a considerable period of time, so their prices are naturally high.

After buying them all, Chen Xun spent a total of over eight hundred taels of silver.

Many martial artists at the Bone Forging Realm don't know how many years it would take to accumulate such a sum of money.

Then there's the [Marrow Cleansing Pill], which is a controlled drug. Not only does it cost money, but it also requires a qualification certificate.

Only a dozen or so factions in the entire Changfeng County can issue this certificate.

To obtain proof, one either needs to be a member of these forces or have a very good relationship with them.

One of the reasons why Jin Mantang, the owner of the Golden Monkey Martial Arts School, joined the Divine Fist Martial Arts School was that he wanted to obtain this certificate.

After all, Jin Mantang's eldest disciple and daughter had been in the Silver Bone Realm for quite some time, and their cultivation was close to the peak of the Silver Bone Realm. It was basically impossible for them to break through to the Golden Bone Realm, so they could only advance to the Blood Exchange Realm.

The Golden Monkey Martial Arts School was not qualified to issue this qualification certificate, so Jin Mantang joined the Divine Fist Martial Arts School.

Now, Chen Xun is also facing this problem.

How can I obtain this permission certificate?

Chen Xun had already begun preparations as soon as he learned of this situation.

After buying all the medicinal herbs needed for the medicinal bath and sending them home, he went to Baixiaolou.

"I want to know who in Changfeng City has the necessary qualification certificates."

Soon, a list ended up in Chen Xun's hands.

The list contains more than a dozen names, followed by their cultivation levels.

Most of them were at the Silver Bone Realm, only a few were at the Iron Bone Realm, and there were none at the Gold Bone Realm.

Among them, Chen Xun also saw a familiar name: Liu Yong from the Golden Monkey Martial Arts School.

"How did he get it?"

Chen Xun was unaware that the Golden Monkey Martial Arts School had already joined the Divine Fist Martial Arts School.

After pausing only briefly on Liu Yong's name, Chen Xun began to focus on the other names.

Li Kai, the leader of the Seven Swords Gang.

Wang Yan, one of the Seven Swords Gang.

Tiger Fist Gang member Zhen Yu.

These three people are the ones Chen Xun is focusing on taking care of.

The reason for choosing these three people is that they are all from gangs with little background and will not cause too much trouble.

Choosing to join one of the four major powers would likely bring a lot of unnecessary trouble.

Afterwards, Chen Xun bought detailed information about the three people from Baixiaolou.

Ultimately, Chen Xun identified Wang Yan of the Seven Swords Gang as the suspect.

The reason for choosing this person is that another member of the Seven Swords Gang, Li Kai, usually lives with his uncle, who is a branch leader of the Seven Swords Gang and has the strength of the Blood Exchange Realm.

Zhen Yu of the Tiger Fist Gang is an important disciple of the Divine Fist Martial Arts School, and his time in the Tiger Fist Gang is merely for training.

Behind the Tiger Fist Gang is the Divine Fist Sect.

Only Wang Yan, who usually lives alone and is a loner, is the easiest to deal with.

So, after leaving Baixiaolou, Chen Xun swiftly arrived at the door of the house Wang Yan was renting.

Wang Yan is twenty-three years old this year. He is a lecherous man who likes to visit brothels, but he has never married or had children.

According to the information provided by Bai Xiaolou, he used the reputation of the Seven Swords Gang to rape several beautiful women.

Among them are young, unmarried women and married women.

One of them hanged herself shortly after being raped.

This incident caused some commotion, resulting in Wang Yan being warned by the Seven Swords Sect, after which he became more restrained.

Time passed slowly, and soon night fell.

Footsteps echoed in the alley, and a man strolled leisurely along.

When he arrived at his front door and took out his key to open the door, he heard a gust of wind behind him.

The man was horrified and tried to turn around to fight back, but before he could move, a hand chop struck his neck hard.

The next moment, the man lost consciousness and was then dragged into the room.

When he woke up again, he saw a strange man playing with a token, which was the qualification token for purchasing the [Marrow Cleansing Pill].

"Who are you?"

Wang Yan asked in a panic.

Who I am is not important.

Chen Xun put away the token, smiled at Wang Yan, and said, "I only have one question for you."

"What is the password for this permit?"

Each permission order has its corresponding password.

This is to prevent anyone from claiming the money fraudulently.

This has happened before.

"If I tell you, will you let me go?"

Wang Yan asked cautiously.

Chen Xun simply said, "It depends on your performance."

Left with no other option, Wang Yan had to reveal the password for the token.

But how could Chen Xun believe it so easily?

So he began to torture Wang Yan.

After some questioning, Chen Xun sneered. The password given by Wang Yan was indeed fake, and it was only one word wrong.

After obtaining the password, Chen Xun immediately patted Wang Yan on the neck and took the silver money hidden in his house.

There wasn't much money, only a little over a hundred taels.

After all, Wang Yan liked to frequent brothels and didn't usually save much money. He only had this much money to buy the [Marrow Cleansing Pill].

One [Marrow Cleansing Pill] costs three hundred taels of silver, no bargaining allowed.

The place to buy the [Marrow Cleansing Pill] is the official pharmacy established by the government.

After all, the forces that can issue purchase permits are all officially recognized and permitted.

Selling the "Marrow Cleansing Pill" privately is illegal in Huangzhao Kingdom.

This is clearly a means by which the imperial court controls martial arts experts among the common people.

The next morning, Chen Xun disguised himself as Wang Yan, held a purchase permit, and went to the officially operated pharmacy called [Huangtian Pharmacy].

After reciting the password and paying three hundred taels of silver, Chen Xun finally obtained a [Marrow Cleansing Pill] as he wished.

At this point, there were no longer any obstacles on Chen Xun's path to the Blood Exchange Realm.
