88: Chapter 88 Reunion with Nangong Hongyan

It must be mentioned here that the bone apertures opened by Cultivation Techniques of different grades are different.

Cultivation Techniques of lower grades open fewer bone apertures on the bones, and the internal space of each bone aperture is also smaller.

Conversely, bones tempered by higher-grade Cultivation Techniques can open more bone apertures, and the internal space of the opened bone apertures is also larger.

What are the benefits of having more bone apertures and larger space?

It allows for faster and more comprehensive tempering of the bone marrow.

With a thought, Chen Hu silently activated the cultivation.

The next moment.

A surge of Qi appeared out of thin air within Chen Hu's body and went directly between his palms, automatically helping him open the bone apertures on his palm bones.

Soon, he successfully opened a bone aperture on each of his palms.

Then, the Qi surged into the bone apertures.

As the Qi flowed in, the two bone apertures were activated and began to release mysterious energy to temper his bone marrow.

The extracted cultivation immediately turned to opening new bone apertures.

Once new bone apertures were opened, they would immediately be injected with Qi to be activated, releasing mysterious energy to continue tempering his bone marrow.

Time passed.

Unknowingly, half a quarter of an hour passed.

Chen Hu opened bone apertures on the bones of both his arms and injected them with Qi to activate them.

As the bone marrow was tempered, Chen Hu clearly sensed that his Physique was also constantly strengthening.

The changes in his arms were especially obvious.

There was still leftover extracted cultivation after opening the bone apertures in his arms.

Therefore, it turned to opening the bone apertures on his legs.

After one-third of the bone apertures on his legs were opened, the cultivation was finally exhausted.

Looking at the Qi in his Dantian that occupied only a small portion, Chen Hu did not intend to use his own Qi to continue opening bone apertures.

Because the efficiency of that was too slow.

Relying on himself to open bone apertures, he would be lucky to open one a day.

It was still more satisfying to extract cultivation every day to open them.

Moreover, Chen Hu discovered that as the Qi in the bone apertures continued to stimulate the mysterious energy to temper the bone marrow, his Physique was still continuously improving.

He pulled up the System panel to take a look.

His martial arts Realm had already become Early-stage Bone-Refining Realm.

His martial arts had broken through, so it was time for the Divine Soul.

He took out a cultivation multiplier card.

"Activate!"

"Ding, congratulations to the host for obtaining 5 times the cultivation effect!"

"Not bad!"

Taking out a soul nourishing pill and consuming it, Chen Hu activated the Spirit Refining Art.

An hour later, Chen Hu finished his Spirit Refining cultivation.

He claimed the five-fold cultivation effect.

As his Soul Power was injected, his Realm followed by breaking through to the Late Stage of Condensing Truth.

He tested it.

His Spiritual Sense strength doubled, and his Spiritual Sense distance reached 2000 meters.

His current Spiritual Sense strength could already lift an object of 200 kilograms.

He could completely use his Spiritual Sense to control objects to attack enemies.

Subsequently, Chen Hu opened both the ordinary resource card and the special resource card.

He opened the intelligence card.

Today's intelligence: Two days later, the Wealthy Gang will destroy two low-tier Gangs in Linshui Ward, and their territory will expand to 15 streets.

He then opened the connection card.

He obtained a Grade B connection.

This time, Chen Hu did not give up and chose to use it.

"It's getting late, time to sleep!"

Chen Hu went to the backyard and pushed open the door to enter Widow Wang's room.

The next morning.

After Chen Hu went to the Fierce Tiger Gang General Hall to check in, he left the General Hall and headed towards the Inner City.

Today he was going to attend the auction of the Nangong Family.

The housing prices in the Inner City were very high.

An ordinary house there cost three times as much as one in the Outer City.

Why were the house prices in the Inner City so expensive?

There were many reasons; first, the law and order in the Inner City were very good.

There were patrols day and night.

Secondly, there were no Gangs in the Inner City.

Without the existence of Gangs, naturally, no one would collect protection fees, and ordinary residents could live in peace.

Merchants could also conduct business with peace of mind.

Furthermore, there were many high-end establishments in the Inner City.

For example, casinos.

In the casinos in the Outer City, if you won a lot of money, you might not be able to take it away.

But in the Inner City, no matter how much money you won, you could leave safely.

Therefore, as long as you had money, you could live very freely in the Inner City.

You didn't have to worry about attracting disaster because of money.

Soon, Chen Hu arrived at the Inner City gate.

There was a squad of soldiers guarding the place.

This squad of soldiers were all elites, their cultivation had reached the Late Skin Refining Stage, and they were all wearing iron armor, with long swords and crossbows hanging at their waists. Even if someone in the Flesh Refining Realm tried to force their way through, this squad of soldiers could take them down.

By the way, the captain of this squad of soldiers was in the Flesh Refining Realm.

There were quite a few people queuing at the city gate.

Anyone who wanted to enter the Inner City had to take out their household registration plate for inspection. If they had an Outer City household registration, they also needed to pay one mace of silver as an entrance fee.

After paying the silver, they would receive a temporary plate.

But this temporary plate only allowed them to stay in the Inner City until dark. If they hadn't left the city by dark and were caught by the patrol, they would either have to pay a high fine or be imprisoned.

Chen Hu had also entered the Inner City a few days ago.

However, he did not enter through the city gate.

After queuing for a while, it was finally Chen Hu's turn.

After taking out his household registration plate for inspection and paying one mace of silver, he successfully obtained a temporary plate.

The last time he entered the Inner City, he was in a hurry.

He didn't even have time to properly look around the Inner City.

Today, entering the city, he strolled through the city unhurriedly.

He discovered that the residents of the Inner City were all very relaxed.

Many people had smiles on their faces.

Moreover, there were many shops.

Strolling for more than half an hour, Chen Hu also entered several shops, bought some things, and put them into his Storage Ring when no one was paying attention.

The auction was about to begin.

He slightly accelerated and headed towards the Nangong Family's auction house.

Soon, he arrived at the Nangong Family's auction house.

Seen from the outside, it was very grand and magnificent.

There were guards at the entrance checking invitation letters.

After showing the invitation letter, Chen Hu was able to enter, and immediately a Maid came up to greet him.

"This Young Master, your seat is in the private box on the second floor, please follow me."

Chen Hu nodded.

He followed the Maid to the private box on the second floor of the auction house.

The private box was furnished quite luxuriously and exquisitely, and there were fruits, snacks, and tea on the table inside the box.

In a certain room on the third floor of the auction house.

Maid pushed the door open and entered, saying to Nangong Hongyan inside the room: "Young Miss, that Young Master Chen has arrived."

Nangong Hongyan, who was cross-dressing as a man, was delighted to hear this: "Okay, I know."

Then, she went to the bronze mirror to take a look, and feeling there were no flaws, she walked out of the room and headed towards the second floor.

Knock, knock!

Chen Hu stood up and opened the door of the private box, looked at Nangong Hongyan standing outside, and smiled: "So it is Brother Nangong, please come in."

"Brother Chen, please forgive me for disturbing you!"

"Brother Nangong, what are you saying? Without your invitation letter, I wouldn't have had the chance to come here and see this!" Chen Hu said with a chuckle, and welcomed Nangong Hongyan in.

"Brother Chen, it's been a while, you are already a Deputy Hall Master of the Fierce Tiger Gang. Your promotion speed is truly enviable!" Nangong Hongyan praised.

"Brother Nangong, you are joking. A deputy Gang leader of a third-rate Gang is nothing in the eyes of your Nangong Family."

Chen Hu answered modestly.

"Brother Chen, do not belittle yourself. You are only in your early twenties, and your cultivation has reached the Mid-stage Tendon Refining. Among the younger generation of our noble families, you are also an extremely outstanding existence!" Nangong Hongyan said seriously.

Next, the two chatted, and although they didn't discuss any substantial topics, they were quite congenial.

Chen Hu even discovered that Nangong Hongyan's friendliness had increased by three points.

Suddenly, the door was pushed open heavily.

A young man barged in. He swept his gaze across the room, locked onto Chen Hu, and a murderous intent immediately erupted in his eyes.
