Immortality begins in the Great Wilderness Grotto Heaven

As dusk fell, the setting sun shone like blood.

"break!"

A crisp sound came from the courtyard of Willow Lane.

Guan Qiaoqiao saw the piece of firewood, about the size of a wooden stake, shatter into pieces in an instant as Zhou An's sword fell.

The wooden stakes, which were originally as thick as a wrist, have all been reduced to the thickness of a finger.

This incredible feat made her subconsciously rub her eyes.

"No need to knead anymore. When your skills improve, you can do it just as well."

Seeing this, Zhou An smiled slightly and then put away his sword.

"I'm nowhere near as good as you, Dalang."

As Zhou An carried piles of firewood into the kitchen, Guan Qiaoqiao quickly stepped forward to help, her eyes filled with admiration as she spoke.

"It's just chopping wood, it's not that complicated."

Zhou An smiled and looked at his destiny.

【Invincible in All Directions: (Perfect 72/1000)】

As this martial art, which embodies the wonders of swordsmanship, reaches its peak, the originally varied moves begin to be simplified.

That's why Zhou An said those words to Guan Qiaoqiao.

With his guidance as a swordsmanship genius, the other person's progress will definitely be much faster than that of the apprentices in the martial arts school.

Thinking of this, Zhou An couldn't help but recall the mother and daughter he had seen in the alley during the day.

He didn't want Qiaoqiao to end up like that mother and daughter when he was away on business one day.

"Supernatural powers—only by quickly reaching the realm of supernatural powers can one better survive in this world ravaged by demons."

Before long, a pot of hot water was ready, accompanied by wisps of smoke rising from the kitchen.

"Brother, is this enough water? Should I boil some more for you?"

Looking at the steaming hot water in the wooden tub, Guan Qiaoqiao blushed and wiped the sweat from her forehead, speaking softly.

Come to think of it, it's been a long time since she's helped her eldest son with a back rub.

That's enough.

Zhou An tested the water temperature, covered the wooden bucket, and said with a smile.

"I'll be practicing martial arts for a bit longer tonight, so you should get some rest."

As they were talking, Zhou An began to take off his clothes in the room.

Upon seeing this, Guan Qiaoqiao blushed and quickly left the room.

【Hemlock Technique: (Mastery 98/500)】

[Golden Body Skill: (Minor Success 72/300)]

"The Ten Directions Invincible has reached its peak; next up are the Iron Fir Technique and the Golden Body Technique."

After locking the door, Zhou An took out a small white porcelain bottle containing the Diamond Liquid.

The Golden Body Technique is extremely difficult to cultivate.

Because the process of tempering the flesh and blood membranes is carried out simultaneously, the cultivation process is often accompanied by excruciating pain that is difficult for ordinary people to endure.

The pain intensifies as time goes on.

Even though Zhou An had mastered the Iron Shirt technique to a high level, he still dared not be careless in the slightest.

That's why he kept the door locked.

Even though this diamond liquid can greatly alleviate the severe pain caused by tempering the skin film.

As the bottle was opened, a liquid resembling golden oil flowed into Zhou An's palm.

An oily liquid is gently applied to the skin.

As a cool sensation spread, a peculiar feeling arose spontaneously.

As if a closed door had been opened, Zhou An could clearly feel the cold wind blowing across his arms, making his pores tingle and tremble.

"As expected of the Diamond Liquid, which is worth 100 merit points, its ability to temporarily open up the skin and enhance perception far exceeds my expectations."

Lost in thought, Zhou An took a deep breath and swallowed a Qi and Blood Pill.

"boom!"

As his blood and qi surged, Zhou An could clearly feel an unprecedented heat rising within him.

It felt as if his whole body was set on fire, and he was bathed in flames.

Strangely, despite the intense heat that had distorted the surrounding air, my skin felt increasingly cold.

"hiss!"

Upon noticing this, Zhou An took a deep breath and immediately activated both Iron Shirt Skill and Golden Body Skill.

The moment the technique was activated, Zhou An could clearly see his exposed skin begin to tremble violently.

Like forging iron, the skin and membranes of the whole body became increasingly tough under the impact of the force from all sides.

【Hemlock Technique: (Mastery 115/500)】

[Golden Body Skill: (Minor Success 86/300)]

.......

In an instant, the progress of the two techniques began to increase rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.

During this process, the red aura surrounding Zhou An became increasingly intense.

Before we knew it, half an hour had passed.

"hiss!"

At this moment, Zhou An, who was immersed in cultivating his skills, suddenly gasped.

pain.

A sharp pain suddenly rose from every part of my skin.

The intense stinging sensation, as if thousands of sharp needles were simultaneously piercing every pore of his skin, caused Zhou An to abruptly open his eyes.

It took him a full cup of tea's time to fully recover.

Zhou An looked down.

He saw that his exposed skin had been covered with a layer of dark red stains without him even realizing it.

And the original golden grease was nowhere to be seen.

"No wonder that old official said that the Golden Body Technique is not something ordinary people can cultivate. The pain of being riddled with holes is indeed something that ordinary people cannot endure."

Zhou An sighed inwardly.

However, pain has its benefits.

[Hemlock Skill: (Perfect 268/1000)]

[Golden Body Skill: (Dacheng 186/500)]

In just half an hour, his two martial arts techniques had made astonishing progress.

The Iron Shirt Skill has reached its peak.

"continue."

Zhou An patted his face, turned around, and stepped into the bathtub.

Before long, the black and red stains that had covered her skin were completely washed away, and in their place was creamy white skin.

Zhou An flicked his fingers lightly.

Even without using any cultivation techniques, the feedback from the skin was like hitting a tough piece of cowhide.

Before long, golden oil covered his entire body again.

"boom!"

As the second Qi and Blood Pill was swallowed, a surge of Qi and Blood arose spontaneously along with the feeling of coolness on the body surface.

Close your eyes and meditate.

His skin was once again being repeatedly pounded and tempered by the force, just like iron sheets on a furnace.

Once, twice, three times.

The third Qi and Blood Pill, the third replacement of the Diamond Liquid.

When the five uses of the Vajra Liquid were exhausted, three hours had already passed.

"Buzz".

As the morning light rose outside the window, Zhou An slowly opened his eyes inside the room.

He looked down.

Under the sunlight, his skin shimmered with a pale golden glow.

【Hemlock Technique (Skill Trait): As tough as iron】

[Golden Body Skill: (Perfect 156/1000)]
