Chapter 11: Bronze Bones Completed (Seeking Follow-up Reading)

Xu Yan's spirits perked up, and he murmured, "Without women in your heart, can you practice like a god?"

"Master, I have some understanding. Thank you for your teachings!"

Bowed respectfully.

"Master, I am going to practice!"

"Well, go ahead."

Li Xuan nodded, with some suspicion in his eyes: "My silly disciple, will he really become indifferent to women and only think about cultivation? This is a sin, I shouldn't have said such nonsense!"

Xu Yan came to the place where he practiced, took a horse stance, and looked determined.

"Master is right. Only after experiencing setbacks can one be brave enough to fight!"

"Without women in your heart, cultivation is like having a god... I understand the master's deep meaning, using women to represent distracting thoughts. For a man of my age, women are the biggest distraction!

"As long as I overcome this biggest distraction, my mind will be free from external things, my inner heart will be clear, my perception will naturally improve, and my cultivation will definitely be faster!"

The Qi and blood circulate and the bones begin to be refined.

Xu Yan suddenly had an idea: "Master said that if you don't have a woman in your heart, you can practice as if you have a god. Is he reminding me that I haven't actually comprehended the essence of my current bone refining method, so my bone refining is so slow?"

"I must put aside all distracting thoughts, keep my mind clear, and carefully comprehend the changes in my Qi and blood, in order to find the essence of bone refining... This is the master's profound meaning!"

At this moment, Xu Yan was thinking about it. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that every word and action of his master was full of deep meaning.

"Master leads you to the door, but it is up to you to practice. Master is a hidden master, and the methods he teaches are all unconventional. Master focuses on understanding... He always reminds me to understand more!"

Thinking of this, Xu Yan began to carefully feel his own qi and blood, and the changes in his bones, and gradually entered a state of oblivion of both himself and the world.

"Something is wrong here... the blood circulation is slow, it's not penetrating deep enough, the training is not strong enough... I should adjust it."

"The speed of bone refining has become faster... As expected, Master is reminding me that I haven't mastered the essence of bone refining!"

"I understand! This is the real method of bone refining!"

At a certain moment, Xu Yan only felt that his qi and blood were flowing smoothly, the speed of bone refining increased greatly, and his qi and blood were also strengthened along with the bone refining.

"Without women in my heart, I can cultivate like a god. My master is not lying to me!"

Xu Yan was extremely excited.

"At this rate, in five or six days, I will be able to forge bones of iron!"

"Golden bones shouldn't be a problem. I will definitely be able to stand shoulder to shoulder with the ancient geniuses!"

Xu Yan was immersed in cultivation, forgetting everything about himself and the world, and was no longer aware of the passage of time.

In the evening.

It was beginning to get dark in the village.

Li Xuan looked at Xu Yan who was practicing, with a hint of doubt in his eyes. How could this guy forget the time? Moreover, he seemed to have been doing horse stance until now? Without taking a break? "Impossible? Even if he is used to doing horse stance every day, it is impossible not to feel tired after doing it for so long."

"Maybe it was when he was resting that I didn't notice."

Li Xuan was about to ask Xu Yan to finish his practice and go make dinner.

But then he changed his mind and said, "My silly disciple was broken off from engagement, and he feels sad. He is using cultivation to relieve his sorrow. I'd better not disturb him. Let him cook for himself tonight."

Sighing, Li Xuan went to make dinner for himself.

…

Half a month later.

Since Xu Yan came back, Li Xuan has resumed his leisurely life in the past half month. Xu Yan takes care of all the chores and he doesn't have to worry about anything.

The chickens grew fatter and fatter, and the chicks grew a lot bigger.

They even raised a few wild rabbits.

Li Xuan sighed in his heart, although the cultivation was fake, Xu Yan also learned a lot of life skills.

In the past half month, Xu Yan has been practicing even harder.

Li Xuan admired this persistence, and it was not easy to discourage him, so he could only encourage him from time to time! Unknowingly, Xu Yan had already entered the bronze bone training stage.

For Xu Yan, the training during the past half month was truly as if he had divine help. He comprehended the bone refining method again and again, and his tempering speed was further improved.

He thought deeply about every word of encouragement from Li Xuan. After some imagination and self-supplementation, he suddenly realized it!

The method of tempering Qi and blood was fine-tuned again, and the speed of tempering bones was increased again.

Every time this happened, he would be extremely excited. The image of his master in his mind was no longer something that could be described as a simple reclusive master.

"Master is truly unfathomable!"

"When I reached the level of a master, I had already moved away from the traditional, ordinary teaching methods. Instead, I was constantly improving my understanding!"

"It allows me to continue to comprehend the true meaning of cultivation and the 'meaning' of it!"

“Growing vegetables, cooking, raising chickens, raising rabbits… It may seem like ordinary chores, but they can relax my mind after practicing, allowing me to return to the state of an ordinary person, rather than being tense about being a martial arts practitioner.

"No wonder Master looks like an ordinary person. This is what Master said, return to simplicity and nature, follow the way of nature..."

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"Master's realm is too high!"

Xu Yan sighed in his heart, wondering when he would be able to reach his master's level.

"I have already refined the bronze bone, which brings me one step closer to the gold bone. In another half a month, I should be able to get to the gold bone?"

"According to Master, going from bronze bones to golden bones is a huge leap and transformation, and it is not so easy to temper it."

"Once I have finished tempering the copper bone, I should go back and see if I can buy precious medicine like the Nine-Leaf Yuanzhi!"

Xu Yan made up his mind that after completing the tempering of the copper bones, he would go home to see if he could find precious medicine such as the Nine-Leaf Yuanzhi to increase the probability of tempering the gold bones.

Ten days later.

Xu Yan's bronze bones are complete.

At this moment, when he was practicing, he already felt a bottleneck, as if his bone refining had reached its limit.

He knew that he had reached a bottleneck in his golden bones. At this stage, he could only rely on his talent, perseverance and persistence.

The most important thing is enlightenment! "With the help of precious medicine, the probability of breakthrough will be higher."

Xu Yan prepared to go home again to look for precious medicine to assist in his cultivation.

Li Xuan stood at the door, looking at Xu Yan who was practicing in the distance, he fell into deep thought.

I don’t know why, but I always feel that Xu Yan has become a little different.

There seemed to be a new aura of majesty. "My silly disciple, could it be that he has really mastered something?"

"No! It's absolutely impossible. I made this up. Even if there really is Qi and Blood Martial Arts in this world, this is a cultivation method I made up. How can it be possible to practice it?"

"It must be because I have been doing horse stance for a long time, so I look more stable and powerful!"

After standing in horse stance for so long, it’s time for Xu Yan to change his posture.

It's too monotonous to stay in the same horse stance all the time.

As he was thinking about what new horse stance he should teach Xu Yan, the martial arts videos and pictures he had seen in his previous life emerged in his mind.

"It doesn't have to be exactly the same. I'll just adjust my stance and teach it to my stupid apprentice!"

"It's all made up anyway, and there's nothing you can learn from it. I just need to give my disciple some faith to persevere and let him continue to practice. There's still a long way to go before the one-year deadline."

"It is the best outcome to use the excuse that we are not meant to be masters and apprentices and part ways amicably."

Li Xuan thought so, and waved Xu Yan over.
