"Hey kid, stop standing here and go cultivate."
He Zongming knew that their small group mainly relied on Lu Tao. Only when Lu Tao's cultivation was high would they be safer and everything would be more secure.
"Alright, alright, I'm going to cultivate."
Lu Tao was happy to agree.
"Buy whatever you want to eat, don't worry about saving money, but don't leave the inn for now."
Lu Tao left each of the two families with 10,000 taels of silver notes. Without waiting for their refusal, he flashed back to his room. "By the way, don't call me for dinner. I'm going into seclusion."
Lu Tao had planned to cultivate to the late stage of Blood Refinement in one go yesterday, but he encountered the woman in colorful clothes from Red Flower Valley.
However, he is not far from the late stage of Blood Refinement; he only needs to refine two more bottles of blood medicine.
When you are fully engaged in cultivation, time will pass very quickly.
Almost in the blink of an eye, two hours had passed.
Lu Tao also successfully refined the two bottles of blood medicine, raising his cultivation to the late stage of Blood Refining, just one step away from the Bone Forging stage.
It must be said that Lu Tao's cultivation speed is extremely fast.
In just two or three days, he advanced from the early stage of skin refining to the late stage of blood refining, completing a martial arts path that others could not finish in a lifetime.
After his blood underwent two transformations, Lu Tao discovered that his blood and qi power had increased several times over.
The blood in my body flows like a stream, surging endlessly. With each circulation, my body seems to grow stronger.
"Then let's continue and strive to break through to the Bone Forging Realm as soon as possible."
Lu Tao was not satisfied; he only hoped that his cultivation level would be as high as possible.
Lu Tao decided to go into seclusion for fifteen hours straight, vowing not to leave until his cultivation broke through to the Bone Forging Realm.
After Lu Tao's instructions, no one else bothered him.
And so, Lu Tao immersed himself in his cultivation.
One bottle, five bottles, ten bottles...
One hour, five hours, ten hours...
Time is like water in a toilet; it's pumped out quickly and flows out just as fast.
In the blink of an eye, thirteen hours had passed.
Buzz...
Lu Tao, who was sitting cross-legged on the bed, wholeheartedly engaged in cultivation, suddenly trembled slightly. A powerful aura then spread out from his body, and wisps of blood energy emanated from his body, permeating the entire room.
Lu Tao finally finished refining the fifteen bottles of blood medicine, and at this moment, his own blood also completely completed its third transformation, advancing to the Bone Forging Realm.
Lu Tao discovered that the blood after the third transformation had a hint of gold.
It looks faint and inconspicuous, but it is ten times stronger than during the second transformation. This is a breakthrough to a higher realm.
"Tsk tsk, the Bone Forging Realm is indeed powerful."
Lu Tao assessed his own cultivation level and strength, and was very satisfied.
Despite his rapid improvement, Lu Tao was not arrogant, because the first four realms mainly focused on tempering the body, which could actually be considered as one major realm.
His path in martial arts has only just begun.
then.
Lu Tao cultivated for another hour or so to stabilize his cultivation before emerging from seclusion.
"Sure enough, you've broken through again... Wait, something's not right."
As soon as he stepped outside, Lu Tao noticed that everyone else was in the courtyard, clearly alerted by the powerful aura he had displayed during his breakthrough.
"You've broken through to the Bone Forging Realm?"
He Zongming's voice trembled slightly.
He thought Lu Tao had only broken through to the late stage of Blood Refinement, but upon closer inspection, he seemed to be even stronger than the late stage of Blood Refinement.
That means it can only be the Bone Forging Realm.
But how long has it been? Two breakthroughs in one day?
This isn't the Skin Refining stage, it's the Blood Refining stage, so how come my cultivation speed isn't affected at all?
Lu Tao laughed and said, "Not bad, a lucky breakthrough."
He Zongming rolled his eyes, completely convinced.
"Wow, Brother Tao is really amazing."
"Wow, Brother Lu is amazing."
The two little ones got excited, feeling even happier than if they had broken through to the next level themselves.
"This is the Bone Forging Realm?"
He Yuanshuang's parents finally understood why He Zongming had been so dazed lately; he had simply been subjected to too much stress.
They are the same now.
It feels so unreal.
While Mr. and Mrs. Wu were happy, they were also somewhat worried.
Everyone else can cultivate, but this couple are just ordinary people; they have no idea about the differences between these martial arts realms.
Lu Tao has no solution to this at the moment.
Both of them are in their thirties and are only now starting to cultivate. It is indeed too late for them to begin, and it will be difficult for them to make any progress in a short period of time.
Lu Tao does have a root of the Dust-Removing Grass, but even if he manages to cultivate it, he will definitely prioritize using it himself. As for Wu Tianyou and his wife, we'll have to wait and see.
"Let's go, it's lunchtime, let's eat."
The group quickly arrived at the second floor of the inn and ordered food without hesitation, as if to celebrate Lu Tao's breakthrough.
Lu Tao and his group ate and drank heartily, while Manager Feng, who was passing by, was somewhat surprised and uncertain. "Huh? How come this kid has suddenly reached the Bone Forging Realm?"
He clearly remembered that Lu Tao was still in the mid-stage of Blood Refinement just yesterday.
How come you've already reached the Bone Forging Realm after just one day?
He even suspected that Lu Tao might be hiding his cultivation level, but judging from everyone's expressions, they were indeed celebrating Lu Tao's breakthrough in cultivation.
"There's something strange about this kid."
...
After the meal, Lu Tao and He Zongming approached Manager Feng. Lu Tao smiled and said, "It seems the inn has been doing very well these past few days."
"It's all thanks to Young Master Lu."
Manager Feng replied with a smile that since he was willing to spend 500,000 taels of silver to buy these chopsticks, he must have seen their value in attracting customers.
As expected, once the chopsticks were introduced, the number of guests dining at Tianyun Inn, which usually caters mostly to overnight guests, increased several times over in just one day.
These people all came to the inn with a sense of curiosity to try it out.
As a result, everyone gave very satisfactory feedback after the meal.
In just one day, it brought tens of thousands of yuan in revenue to Tianyun Inn.
Once these people start promoting it, their Tianyun Inn business will become even more booming.
Lu Tao leaned on the counter and said, "Manager Feng, I have something to ask you."
"What's up?"
Lu Tao asked, "How much does the shopkeeper know about Red Flower Valley?"
Manager Feng seemed to know what Lu Tao was going to ask, and said directly, "Red Flower Valley is quite strong. The two valley masters recently broke through to the Innate Realm, and there are more than a dozen elders at the Refining Organs Realm and dozens at the Bone Forging Realm."
Lu Tao nodded, now that he knew the exact strength of Red Flower Valley, he felt more confident. He Zongming, on the other hand, looked rather grave.
Lu Tao then asked, "Manager Feng, how do I get to the martial arts shop in Mufeng City?"
Manager Feng arrived at the inn and pointed to the street in the distance, saying, "Go one mile ahead, there's a cultivation technique shop on the left street. They sell all cultivation techniques below the Innate Realm."
Lu Tao's eyes lit up. "Thank you, Manager Feng."
Immediately afterwards, Lu Tao and He Zongming left the inn together and headed towards the Kung Fu Pavilion.
"This kid seems to have quite a bit of talent; we need to find a way to recruit him."
Manager Feng watched Lu Tao's departing figure, stroked his chin, and fell into deep thought...
