103: Golden Tendon Great Perfection

When the Vice Dean handed Chu Qing a box of nourishing ointment, everyone was stunned and bewildered.

Ximen muttered, "We wiped out the Qin Family!"

"And there are rewards?"

The Vice Dean also looked a bit lost and said, "I don't know... Don't ask me!"

"This was ordered by the Dean!"

The Crowd... Cui Moyang and Wang Yinyang were deep in thought.

Chu Qing didn't care about any hidden secrets.

Anyway... as long as he got the resources.

Opening the box, there were ten portions of nourishing ointment inside.

Cui Moyang and the others also received ointment, but less than his, only five portions.

The Wubao Disciples each got one portion.

The Vice Dean then gave Chu Qing a token and said, "When you reach Bone Refinement, go to the fifth floor of the Library."

"The Dean wants to see you!"

After speaking, the Vice Dean left.

He needed to go back and carefully figure out why the Dean wanted to Cultivate Chu Qing.

At this moment:

Cui Moyang and the others looked at the token, then at Chu Qing, their eyes filled with jealousy.

The Dean?

How could such a Big Shot request Chu Qing to meet him?

"Master Qing..."

The Wubao Disciples felt even more conflicted.

"Master Qing, when you meet the Dean, can you ask him for a Secret Inheritance for us?"

Chu Qing smiled and said, "Do your work well, and you will have everything."

The Crowd... Chu Qing put away the token, took out a note, and said, "Alright, everyone, after taking out this rebel stronghold of the Qin Family, we will proceed to clear out the other rebel strongholds!"

"I know some of your Families have connections with the rebels."

"But when I tell you to kill the rebels, you will kill them all the same!"

"Otherwise, if you don't kill the rebels, I will kill you!"

Many Wubao Disciples remained silent, not daring to resist.

In the following days:

Chu Qing led this group of Wubao Disciples, traversing every corner of Shiji County, clearing out rebels.

As long as someone was suspected of being a rebel and refused to explain, they were immediately attacked and killed.

In just three to five days;

All rebel strongholds in Shiji County were cleared out.

Many people died for this.

And in this rebel cleanup, the Wubao Disciples suffered more than half their numbers.

But no one dared to withdraw.

Because;

Those who wanted to withdraw all died.

At Chu Qing's request, Cui Moyang and Mingyue specifically killed the Wubao Disciples who wanted to withdraw.

Their methods were ruthless and unhesitating.

This made the Wubao Disciples tremble with fear.

In just three to five days, many people died in Shiji County.

Chu Qing gained a lot.

Every time a rebel stronghold was cleared, he would gain some nourishing ointment or golden incense.

And in these three to five days, the output of pearls from the Quarry also began to increase slightly.

A large number of pearls were secretly refined by Lan Lan and an unnamed senior sister, and distributed to Cui Moyang and others.

As for Chu Qing, he consumed Madam Shi's top-grade Secret medicine pearls, and Golden Tendons were Cultivated one by one.

This day:

After the last rebel stronghold in the county was cleared, Chu Qing eagerly sought out Madam Jin to consume the last few top-grade pearls.

One minute... a Golden Tendon was born!

Five minutes... ten minutes... the 362nd Golden Tendon was born.

He did not immediately swallow the last Secret medicine pearl, but instead called Madam Jin and said:

"I'm about to Breakthrough."

"But after the Breakthrough, I'll need Secret medicine to apply to my body!"

"Find a few maids to help me apply the Secret medicine."

Madam Jin hesitated and said, "Xiao Tao Hong and I will apply it for you!"

She didn't trust other maids.

Fearing they would mess things up.

Chu Qing thought about it and nodded.

Soon after, Madam Jin called Xiao Tao Hong to the study and explained the situation to her.

Xiao Tao Hong hesitated and whispered, "Madam... isn't this inappropriate?"

Madam Jin snorted, "What's so inappropriate?"

"Are you disgusted with applying Secret medicine for my Qing'er?"

Xiao Tao Hong... One minute later:

Chu Qing took out his accumulated nourishing ointment and laid them out on the table one by one.

Whoosh!

His brocade clothes fell to the ground.

Gulp!

The last pearl was swallowed.

One... Golden Tendon... two... three... 365 Golden Tendons completed.

When the last Golden Tendon was formed, Chu Qing felt a fiery heat throughout his body.

The next second:

Golden patterns appeared on his skin.

The patterns resembled mantises, large snakes, and eagles.

At this moment:

Chu Qing growled, "Quick, apply the Secret medicine."

Madam Jin and Xiao Tao Hong, flustered, quickly applied it.

One portion... ten portions... thirty portions... After using a total of thirty-six portions of nourishing ointment, Chu Qing finally called a stop.

At this moment:

The golden patterns on his body had completely disappeared.

This meant his Golden Tendons were completely at Perfection.

Whoosh!

Chu Qing exhaled a mouthful of stale Qi and laughed softly.

As he laughed, he looked up and burst into laughter.

Madam Jin also rejoiced with him.

Xiao Tao Hong, on the other hand, lowered her head, staring at Chu Qing, not blinking once.

After a long while, Chu Qing's mood finally calmed down.

With 365 Golden Tendons completed, his strength had undergone a Heaven Flipping change.

The power of one Golden Tendon had increased to the level of ten Iron Tendons.

Moreover, if a Golden Tendon was broken or damaged, it could repair itself.

At the same time:

The Golden Tendons formed their own cycle, and could even restore his essence, Qi, and spirit on their own.

Although not as powerful as the Secret Inheritance's Toad Skill.

But with this replenishment, he was even less afraid of wars of attrition.

At the same time: his Foundation greatly increased.

Even more profound was:

After Cultivating a Secret Inheritance Cultivation Technique, there was a certain chance that descendants, once born, would directly possess several, or even dozens, of Golden Tendons.

Besides this:

Perfected Gold Tendons had an accelerating effect on future stages such as Bone Refinement, and even Blood Refinement and Flesh Refinement.

Golden Tendons were the Foundation of everything.

Without Golden Tendons, the path of martial arts was clearly limited.

With 365 Golden Tendons, the path of martial arts could go very, very far.

Moreover, Chu Qing also found that his profession panel was flashing wildly.

As if something was about to be conceived at any moment.

But, as if something was missing, it was always just a little bit short.

"What is missing?"

Chu Qing couldn't figure it out and stopped thinking about it.

At this moment, although his mood was calm.

However, when he saw Madam Jin next to him, he couldn't help but lift her high in the air, venting his joy.

After a long time, he finally put Madam Jin down.

"Um... Qing'er, you go bathe and change first, I'll wait for you outside."

After the joy, Madam Jin realized it was inappropriate.

She rushed out, but left Xiao Tao Hong behind, telling her to serve him for bathing and changing.

Xiao Tao Hong did not refuse this time.

Instead, she lowered her head and meticulously served Chu Qing for bathing and changing.

More than half an hour later:

Chu Qing, dressed in brocade clothes, with his hair tied in a ponytail, went to see Madam Jin in high spirits.

Madam Jin asked curiously, "How is your Cultivation now?"

Chu Qing thought for a moment and said:

"I can defeat ten of my former self!"

Madam Jin was happy, her eyes curving into crescents as she smiled.

"Don't leave at noon, I'll cook for you."

She wanted to cook herself to reward Chu Qing.

Chu Qing nodded.

He actually wanted to find the Dean immediately to see what Rank of Bone Refinement Cultivation Technique the Dean would provide him.

But Madam Jin's enthusiastic invitation made it hard for him to refuse.

After Madam Jin went to the kitchen, she hesitated, then called Xiao Tao Hong and said, "Go find Madam Shi."

"Just tell her my Qing'er has Breakthrough."

Xiao Tao Hong nodded and quickly went to inform Madam Shi.

Afterward, Madam Jin rolled up her sleeves, revealing her fair arms, and personally washed vegetables and cooked.

The kitchen maids helped, praising Madam Jin's cooking skills, saying that Young Master Qing would definitely enjoy the meal.

At this moment:

Xiao Tao Hong ran all the way to see Madam Shi.

Madam Shi was resting with her eyes closed, while the Wind, Flower, Snow, Moon maids took turns reading to her.

Xiao Tao Hong cautiously said, "Madam Shi, my Madam said that Young Master Qing has Breakthrough!"

Whoosh!

Madam Shi suddenly stood up, a hint of surprise in her cold eyes as she said:

"Say that again?"

"Young Master Qing has Breakthrough."

Madam Shi was astonished.

Breakthrough?

These past few days, she had secretly refined top-grade pearls for Chu Qing and guided him in Cultivating Golden Tendons.

Upon hearing of his Breakthrough, she immediately calculated the number of pearls and then rejoiced in her heart:

"He... has 365 Golden Tendons at Perfection?"

"It seems he consumed extra pearls from others."

"Perfected Gold Tendons... I must see him once."

Madam Shi said to Wind, Flower, Snow, Moon, "Bring that new set of opera costumes and go to the Jin Residence!"

"Yes, Young Miss!"
