Ma Rou's beautiful eyes widened, filled with a mixture of disbelief and excitement. Her voice trembled slightly with emotion as she said urgently, "Brother Fang Han, is this... is this really the legendary top-grade Body Tempering Pill? But as far as I know, even the renowned alchemy master Huang in Tianyuan County can only refine high-grade Body Tempering Pills. This top-grade Body Tempering Pill has always existed only in ancient legends."

On the long road of cultivation, body tempering is a crucial step, the cornerstone for entering the world of martial arts.

Generally speaking, even if one takes a high-grade body tempering pill, it only increases the chances of successful body tempering, and cannot guarantee that a person will succeed in body tempering 100%.

After all, everyone's aptitude and physical condition are different, and the tempering process is full of variables and risks.

However, if one takes a top-grade Body Tempering Pill, the situation is completely different.

No matter how mediocre a person's talent may be, as long as they do not have a serious physical disability, after taking this top-grade Body Tempering Pill, they will be blessed by the god of fate and will be able to successfully temper their body 100%, thus embarking on the path of a martial artist and setting off on a journey to pursue higher realms.

Fang Han remained calm, a slight smile playing on his lips, and said, "If I say this is a top-grade Body Tempering Pill, then it must be a top-grade Body Tempering Pill. If you don't believe me, then take this Body Tempering Pill now and break through to the next level."

Upon hearing this, Ma Rou's eyes gleamed with excitement, and she said without hesitation, "Okay! Brother Fang Han, I believe you! I'll take the pill now and see what's so magical about this legendary top-grade Body Tempering Pill."

Fang Han nodded slightly, pondered for a moment, and then slowly said, "The body tempering technique you usually practice, was it learned by your brother Ma Kun from the Dragon Abyss Sword Sect and then passed on to you? The body tempering technique of the Dragon Abyss Sword Sect is indeed quite famous in the cultivation world, and it has its unique features. But do you know that what is passed down in the Dragon Abyss Sword Sect is only a very low-level version of this technique, and many of its subtleties have not been revealed? Today, I will teach you a completely new body tempering technique. When you temper your body according to this technique, you will definitely achieve twice the result with half the effort."

After speaking, Fang Han's expression hardened, and a mysterious and powerful aura emanated from his body.

He slowly raised his right hand, a strange light gathering at his fingertips, and pointed precisely at Ma Rou's forehead.

In an instant, Ma Rou felt a warm and gentle power surge into her mind, and then a mysterious and unpredictable cultivation technique appeared in her mind.

This cultivation method unfolded slowly in her mind like a magnificent scroll, with every character and every passage containing endless mysteries.

However, because Fang Han left his spiritual imprint when he taught the technique, Ma Rou instantly understood the body-tempering technique very thoroughly, as if she had been cultivating for countless days and nights.

Ma Rou said with deep gratitude, "Thank you so much, Brother Fang Han!"

After saying that, Ma Rou quickly sat down on a soft futon, adjusted her state, and then swallowed the top-grade body-tempering pill given to her by Fang Han without hesitation.

The pill melted instantly upon entering her mouth, bursting forth with a vast and pure energy within her body.

This energy, like a surging river, rapidly melted within Ma Rou's body, transforming into pure true essence.

These vital energies flowed along specific routes, like agile spirits, nourishing Ma Rou's body, meridians, and dantian.

Her body seemed to receive sweet rain from parched land, every part of it greedily absorbing this pure energy.

As her true energy continued to circulate, her physique improved, and her originally somewhat weak body gradually became resilient and full of vitality.

Her meridians and dantian were also continuously widened under the impact of the true energy, as if a narrow path had been widened into a broad avenue, laying a solid foundation for cultivating more profound techniques in the future.

However, widening the meridians and dantian can cause a person to suffer pain.

Ma Rou is a very resilient girl, but at this moment, her brows began to furrow, clearly indicating that she was enduring pain that most people could not bear.

Ma Guyuan, Xiao Lan, and Ma Kun stood by, feeling heartbroken and anxious as they watched Ma Rou's pained expression.

But there was nothing they could do to help.

Especially since this is a crucial moment for Ma Rou's body tempering, it is even more important not to be interrupted.

If the body tempering process is interrupted, at best all previous efforts will be wasted, at worst one will suffer serious injury or even death.

But Fang Han wasn't nervous at all.

He was surprised to discover that Ma Rou's aptitude was actually quite good; it was just that the cultivation technique she was practicing was too low-level and unsuitable for her.

He originally thought that this top-grade Body Tempering Pill could only make Ma Rou a mid-level martial artist, but now he is almost certain that it can help Ma Rou reach the level of a high-level martial artist.

As expected, as time went by, the pain on Ma Rou's face gradually disappeared, replaced by a peaceful and serene expression.

Her breathing became long and even, and a thin mist began to appear around her body, a sign that impurities were being expelled from her body.

The fog grew thicker and thicker, enveloping her entirely.

Suddenly, Ma Rou's body shuddered violently, and a powerful energy wave erupted from her body, exploding around like thunder.

A moment later, Ma Rou slowly opened her eyes, which sparkled with excitement and surprise.

She stood up, feeling a surge of power coursing through her body, as if she could unleash tremendous force with every gesture.

She stretched her limbs, making a series of crisp sounds, as if every cell in her body was cheering and jumping for joy.

"I did it! I really became a martial artist!"
