Dual-wielding! 100x proficiency, I'll grind my way to godhood!

When Chen Mo returned from the pharmacy, he placed fifty portions of bone-strengthening pill ingredients on the stone table, set up the alchemy furnace, and began refining them.

Ignite, add the fire starter, and control the fire.

Sorting, weighing, feeding, and controlling the fire—the whole process is seamless and efficient.

When the first batch was opened, the aroma of herbs mixed with the steam wafted over my face.

The system panel flickered.

Alchemy Proficiency +400

Chen Mo was stunned for a moment.

Previously, each alchemy session only added 100 points, but this time it quadrupled.

The bonus effects of learning the skill's ultimate level also apply to alchemy.

I'll try to acquire similar skills in the future!

So awesome! Time to work up a sweat!

Alchemy Proficiency +400

Alchemy Proficiency +400

……

Congratulations! Your Alchemy skill has broken through to the next level: Perfection → Transcendent Realm.

The moment the stove lid was lifted, a massive stream of information suddenly flooded my mind.

The subtle changes in heat, the degree of compatibility between medicinal materials, and the minute differences in the timing of condensing the elixir.

Now he can tell how much heat to use for a medicinal herb just by looking at it, and he can tell when to finish making pills just by looking at the alchemy furnace.

Alchemy (Maximum Level)

[Grade: Life Skill]

[Description: The basic skill of refining elixirs. The higher the proficiency, the better the quality of the elixirs.]

Current quality: Excellent. Yield per batch: 20 pieces.

[Transcendent Realm Characteristics: Heart Refining – Pills can be formed without a furnace. Medicinal herbs are held in the palm of the hand, using internal energy as the furnace and spiritual force as the fire, instantly forming pills. The quality of the pills is consistently top-grade; there are absolutely no waste pills.]

Chen Mo looked down at his palm.

Heart training!

Without using a furnace, one can use internal energy as the furnace and internal force as the fire to refine pills in the palm of one's hand.

He immediately picked up a portion of bone-strengthening pills from the stone table, and his inner energy moved at will, condensing into an invisible furnace wall on the skin of his palm, with the pills suspended half an inch above his palm.

With a surge of internal energy, it was silent and without any visible flame or smoke; one could only feel a slight warmth in the palm of the hand.

Within a few breaths, the medicinal herbs rapidly differentiated, fused, and solidified within the Qi Furnace.

When he withdrew his internal energy, twenty top-grade bone-strengthening pills were already lying in his palm.

Freshly baked, still warm.

Its color, patterns, and aroma are exactly the same as those of the finest pills refined in the alchemy furnace.

Chen Mo found the new alchemy method very novel. With the enlightenment of the Transcendental Alchemy Technique, he could control every process and detail of alchemy to the extreme.

They continued refining, and before long, all the remaining medicinal herbs were refined into top-grade bone-strengthening pills.

Chen Mo called over Su Yue and Qing Zhu, and handed each of them a bottle of bone-strengthening pills.

"Each person gets a bottle containing twenty pills. Take one before practicing your fist techniques each day. These are top-grade pills, three times more potent than regular ones. Don't take too many."

"Thank you, young master!"

Qingzhu held the medicine bottle in both hands and said happily.

Chen Mo looked at her and Su Yue calmly, his eyes cold.

"This elixir is extremely precious. Don't easily reveal it to outsiders, or don't blame me for turning ruthless!"

Su Yue and Qing Zhu were immediately startled by these words, standing there speechless and nodding mechanically.

They had never seen Chen Mo so fierce and cold before, and they were all a little flustered.

"Alright, go practice your boxing."

The two women quickly swallowed one and continued practicing their boxing in the courtyard.

Chen Mo also came into the courtyard, took out a Three Yang Returning to Origin Pill from his bronze ring, and put it in his mouth.

The medicinal power dissipated in the dantian, and the heat flowed along the meridians to the limbs and bones.

He stood up and assumed a boxing stance.

After completing one round of training, a system notification popped up.

[Mountain Crushing Fist Proficiency +400]

Chen Mo was secretly delighted.

As long as his efforts are reflected in quantifiable results and progress bars, he will have the motivation to persevere.

With the skill mastery bonus fully activated, the proficiency gain rate is four times the normal rate.

Previously, it would take five or six days to master a martial art to the highest level, but now it only takes one day.

That's all for the liver.

Day 1, Mountain-Crushing Palm.

The next day, the Iron-Cutting Sword Technique.

On the third day, the Amazing Swan Sword Technique was taught.

On the fourth day, the Soul-Chasing Sword Technique was taught.

[The Soul-Chasing Sword Technique has broken through to the pinnacle.]

【Soul-Chasing Sword Technique (Maximum Mastery)】

[Grade: Mystic]

[Description: An assassination-style sword technique, consisting of four forms—Soul Lock, Life Chaser, Soul Stealer, and Shadow Annihilation. The swordplay is fierce and silent, targeting vital points. At its peak, the sword energy condenses into a single line, capable of killing from ten paces away; the victim often doesn't even know where the sword came from.]

[Effect: Strength +3200, Agility +1600]

[Special Effect: Piercing Qi - The sword's edge can pierce through protective qi; if it hits vital organs such as the throat or heart, death is certain.]

[Transcendent Realm Characteristic: Soul Chaser - When the sword is drawn, there is no trace of killing intent leaking out, and the target cannot sense the approaching sword; if attacked from the shadows or behind, the sword energy penetrates straight to the bone marrow, and the wounds of the victim will stagnate and not dissipate, resulting in a deficiency of both qi and blood, and it will be difficult to recover in a few days to half a month.]

Chen Mo sheathed his sword and closed his eyes to feel the changes within his body.

The higher the martial arts level, the greater the power boost after a breakthrough. His fist strength has been increasing steadily over the past four days, breaking through the 10,000 jin mark and reaching 11,000 jin.

His fist strength has reached the standard of the Qi Control Realm, but his internal strength has not yet reached the threshold. Moreover, the higher the realm, the more emphasis is placed on cultivating internal strength.

He had fourteen Yellow-Rank martial arts left, but he didn't rush to practice them. Instead, he turned to cultivating internal energy techniques.

Similarly, with the skill learning effect bonus, the progress of the two internal energy cultivation methods is very fast.

On the afternoon of the fifth day, Chen Mo sat cross-legged on a stone bench in the courtyard.

Both mental cultivation techniques simultaneously broke through to the minor level, and the techniques were activated to their maximum extent, causing internal energy to circulate faster and faster in the meridians.

A certain constraint within the body suddenly broke, and internal energy surged out from every pore of the body at the same time.

The air distorts slightly three inches from the body's surface, condensing into an invisible layer of protective energy.

It's a thin layer, but you can easily touch it.

He raised his hand, his mind subtly shifting.

A wisp of invisible energy shot out from his fingertips.

A few meters away, a thin branch on a jujube tree broke off silently, its cut smooth as if it had been sliced ​​by a sharp blade!

Internal force leaves the body!

Qi Control Realm Achieved!

Chen Mo first used his mind to sink into the bronze ring, and the space expanded again.

It becomes 16×8×8, 1024 square meters!

This space is large enough to hold a lot of things.

He stood up and tried to channel his inner strength into the soles of his feet.

At first, I was a bit unsteady. My internal energy surged up and then dissipated, and I almost slipped and fell.

He steadied himself and tried a few more times. On the third attempt, his internal energy solidified under his feet, and he suddenly felt half as light.

With a light tap of his toes, his body shot forward, nearly crashing into the courtyard wall.

He steadied himself and glanced back at the spot where he had just been standing.

Seven or eight meters, just one step.

Su Yue came out of the kitchen carrying dishes and saw him dart across the yard. She stood frozen at the doorway.

Qingzhu followed behind, carrying a bowl, and almost dropped it.

"Young master, you..."

Before they could ask, Chen Mo activated his inner strength again, lifting himself up and landing steadily on the roof.

The toes lightly touched the tile, then silently fell back to the ground.

It's fun.

This is way more exciting than parkour.

Qingzhu put down her bowl and ran over, circling him several times:

"Young master, you can fly!"

"It's not flying, it's lightness skill."

Chen Mo patted the dust off his hands.

Internal energy is attached to the soles of the feet, reducing body weight and coordinating with explosive power.

The "lightness skill" in martial arts dramas, which involves walking on water, is based on this principle.

But I should still find an opportunity to get a real manual of lightness skills; that would be even more effective.

The two women haven't missed a day either.

One top-grade bone-strengthening pill a day, with three times the potency of a superior-grade pill, enabled both women to break through to the third level of body refinement.

After breaking through to the Qi Control Realm, the medicinal power of the Three Yang Returning to Origin Pill and the other two pills weakens, becoming almost as potent as drinking water.

Continuing to rely on swallowing pills and meditating to slowly grind it down is too inefficient.

He disliked this slow, crawling pace of progress.

However, the stronger pills could not be purchased at the pharmacies in Qingshi Town.

Inner Strength Realm pills are not for sale in the town, let alone Qi Control Realm pills.

If you want to continue to improve, you either need to go to the county town, or...

Chen Mo tapped his fingers on the stone table.

Or go rob the Zhao family!

How many of the Condensing Essence Pills that the Zhao family bought at a high price are still left?

We cannot sit idly by and wait to be killed; we must take the initiative!

Rob the Zhao family's property, and while you're at it, wipe them out!

We will wipe out the Li family again, eliminating them completely!

These two thorns must be removed, otherwise he won't be able to sleep soundly.

He was planning his actions when there was a knock at the door.

Three times, neither hurried nor slow.

Su Yue stopped her punch and looked towards the courtyard gate.

Qingzhu also stopped and wiped away her sweat.

Chen Mo gestured for them to be quiet, then went over and opened the door.

There was a person standing outside the door.

Pacification Commissioner.

P.S.: Can anyone help me think of a skill that has a similar effect to learning? Thanks everyone.
