Martial Arts Immortal Saint: Starting from Feeding Horses and Escorting Goods

Previously, he had only developed some goodwill towards Lu Chuan because Lu Chuan had given him the pill formula.

But at this moment, Lu Chuan actually showed such a keen sense of pharmacology, which is also a kind of talent in alchemy.

Master Zhang stroked his beard and nodded, saying, "You're right. You have a natural talent for understanding pharmacology."

Lu Chuan was now certain that the Martial Arts Manual panel was indeed capable and could help him refine pills!

Yu Xiaoshui, standing to the side, also looked at Lu Chuan with surprise, somewhat taken aback.

Master Zhang continued, "It's a pity that you're not in the escort agency. I would like to promote you to work at the Hundred Herbs Hall as a guard or a disciple. Even if you're not by my side, you'll have plenty of time to learn about alchemy."

Upon hearing this, Lu Chuan was instantly moved.

To take a position at Baicaotang?

He has just failed in his escort mission and will face dire consequences if he returns, leaving him with no other options.

If he could get a job at Baicaotang, not only would the people from Changfeng Escort Agency not dare to touch him, but he would even be able to come into contact with alchemy.

This is definitely a win-win situation!

"Master Zhang, to be honest, I failed in my escort mission and I'm afraid I'll face a bad end if I go back. I'm preparing to find another way out."

"If I could receive guidance from Master Zhang, I would be eternally grateful."

Lu Chuan cupped his hands and bowed slightly, showing great respect.

"Oh?"

Master Zhang was surprised. He chuckled and said, "Alright, so it seems we have some kind of connection. If you're interested, I'll give you this token."

As he spoke, Master Zhang took a token from his waist and handed it to Lu Chuan.

"This is my token; everyone at Baicaotang recognizes it."

"I'm going to take Xiaoshui to another branch next, so you don't need to come along."

"In about ten days, take this token and go to Baicaotang to find me."

"Thank you, Master Zhang."

Lu Chuan accepted the token, feeling quite pleased.

He cupped his hands in farewell again: "Master Zhang and Miss Yu, please continue your alchemy. I will not disturb you any longer. Farewell."

Knowing when to stop, Lu Chuan understood that continuing to overstep his bounds would easily offend Yu Xiaoshui.

Back in his room, Lu Chuan took a deep breath.

He was overjoyed to be able to enter Baicaotang.

After all, in the entire Canglan Prefecture, not only do escort agencies offer low pay and low status, but each escort mission is also more dangerous.

But Baicaotang is the number one medicine hall in the prefecture, which not only elevates its status but also eliminates the need to risk danger every time it goes on a delivery mission.

He also heard that the Hundred Herbs Hall's inner cabinet also possesses core cultivation techniques, but the entry requirements are very strict, and he might have the opportunity to explore them someday.

"In a little over ten days, I will be able to change my identity."

Lu Chuan suppressed his thoughts and began to calm his mind and breathe deeply.

Now that we have obtained two Bone Forging Pills, it is still too early to make a final push to break through to the Bone Forging Realm.

He needs to refine his skills further and truly solidify the foundation of his cultivation at this level before he can use elixirs to break through; otherwise, his cultivation level will only be superficial.

……

In the following days, Lu Chuan focused on cultivation, except when he saw off Zhang Heling and his apprentice.

On the seventh day, after his enlightenment progress was complete, he once again channeled the energy back into himself, which directly amplified Lu Chuan's impact on the Bone Forging Realm by several times!

At the same time, the progress of Changchun Gong was directly upgraded from the minor success level to the mastery level, with efficiency far higher than before.

The ninth day, at night.

After Lu Chuan finished his meal, he returned to the house and sat down cross-legged.

"It's time to break through to the Bone Forging Realm."

His eyes were serious.

With the enlightenment from the panel flowing back into him, his cultivation became twice as effective with half the effort. In just a few days, he had the absolute confidence to break through to the Bone Forging Realm.

He took out the Bone-Forging Pill from his bosom and swallowed it directly.

As the medicinal power began to refine in his abdomen, Lu Chuan felt a warm current flow through him, quickly passing through his meridians and rushing towards his bones and muscles.

In an instant, he felt his muscles and bones ache, as if the medicinal power was constantly tempering his bones, like refining gold in fire, constantly hammering and compressing them.

Soon, a layer of sweat appeared on Lu Chuan's forehead.

He gritted his teeth and used his Changchun Gong (a martial arts technique) to control the spread of the medicine with his internal energy.

After being cleansed and tempered by the medicinal power, every muscle and bone underwent a tremendous transformation, as if they had been reborn.

With the dantian (lower abdomen) as the core, the energy first grows downwards, like a tree taking root, gradually making the bones of the thighs, calves, and feet as hard as steel.

Following this, similar transformations occurred on the sternum, spine, and other parts, all undergoing an astonishing metamorphosis under the influence of the medicine.

Lu Chuan didn't feel bad. When the effects of the Bone Forging Pill were exhausted, he swallowed another one.

The medicinal power of the two Bone-Forging Pills was more than enough to support him in constantly tempering his bones and muscles, and gradually transforming himself.

One hour...

Two hours...

When the third hour ended, Lu Chuan's aura was completely different.

If one could look inside, one would find that his bones had been reborn and completely transformed, with a texture as clear as jade, yet several times harder than before!

Lu Chuan slowly opened his eyes and took a deep breath.

"An Introduction to Bone Strengthening!"

After spending more than ten days comprehending the Dao through the panel and receiving its reinforcements, with the help of two Bone Forging Pills, he finally stepped into the Bone Forging Realm in three hours!

Although the internal energy within the body did not change much, the person as a whole seemed to have undergone a complete transformation, a qualitative change.

"It wasn't easy. If I hadn't obtained the Bone Tempering Pill from Master Zhang, with my current resources, I definitely wouldn't have been able to break through in the short term. It would have taken at least another half month or even longer."

Lu Chuan sighed.

The alchemist's role was immense. Alchemist Zhang obtained the formula and casually refined four Bone-Forging Pills. Just two of them provided him with such great assistance.

The medicinal materials needed for the refining process were not particularly valuable.

"If I really go to Baicaotang, I'll have to think about it carefully; alchemy is a very good skill."

Lu Chuan got up and stretched his muscles.

"Crack!"

His entire body resonated with power, exuding the might of the Bone Forging Realm. Even without consciously exerting it, a robust aura of blood and qi overflowed from his body.

Outside, the sky was beginning to lighten.

I heard a slightly noisy sound outside.

"You're busy so early?"

Lu Chuan stepped out the door, greeted by the first rays of sunlight, feeling refreshed.

"Lord Lu, you're up quite early today."

Xu Zhugang walked in from the outer hall, wiped the sweat from his face, and greeted him with a smile.

"Hmm, you're up early too. It's not even dawn yet. Has anyone ordered medicinal herbs?"

Lu Chuan said casually with a smile.

Xu Zhu nodded and said, "Yes, someone came to buy a batch of medicinal herbs last night, all of them wound medicine. It is said that the people from Changfeng Escort Agency encountered some danger in the canyon, resulting in the deaths of several people and serious injuries to several others."

"When they arrived in town, they bought a large quantity of herbs and elixirs to help with their recovery."

Lu Chuan's smile froze.

He was slightly startled and pressed for an answer: "Have the people from Changfeng Escort Agency arrived in town?"

Xu Zhu nodded: "Yes, they should be staying at an inn in town."
