121: Mastery-level Black Water Bone Training Method

“The great deed is done!”

In the quiet room, Nangong and Cui Moyang stared blankly at Chu Qing.

Because, a minute ago, Chu Qing suddenly burst into laughter, laughing for a full minute.

“You’ve succeeded?”

Nangong was surprised.

Chu Qing smiled and nodded.

Cui Moyang secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

These past few days, Nangong had been tormenting her, making her dizzy.

To help Chu Qing cultivate, Nangong had even pulled off one of her silk stockings for Chu Qing.

She suspected that in another two days, she would be asked for her intimate clothing.

Fortunately, Chu Qing had achieved the Perfection of Viewing Beauties as Skeletons.

【Top-tier Bone Forging Secret Inheritance: Black Water Bone Forging Method Not Mastered — A thousand practices daily, applying Secret medicine daily, ten years to achieve proficiency — Forge 365 Black Gold Bones】

【Advancement Conditions — 1: Ten thousand taels of Black Gold, 2: One dragon tendon, 3: Ten thousand bone realignments for others】

The top-tier Secret Inheritance had reached the Mastered level.

It was too difficult to advance to proficiency.

The advancement conditions made him frown.

Whether it was ten thousand taels of Black Gold or a dragon tendon, each was more difficult than the last.

Only the last one, ten thousand bone realignments, was the simplest.

He couldn't advance in the short term.

So, “Next, I’m going to forge bones!”

“When will you two start?”

Chu Qing said, rubbing his fists.

Nangong and Cui Moyang exchanged glances and said, “We also want to forge bones!”

Although they were women, they were no weaker than men.

Naturally, they refused to fall behind.

Chu Qing clapped his hands and laughed, “Good!”

“Since that’s the case, let’s see who achieves Golden Bone Perfection first!”

Cui Moyang’s eyes lit up and she said, “Golden Bone Perfection?”

Chu Qing nodded.

Nangong frowned and said, “I’m afraid I can’t do it.”

Chu Qing laughed, “With so many resources in the Martial Academy, and supplies from the Fortified Manor, and the assistance of Bright Pearls.”

“Golden Bone Perfection shouldn’t be a big problem.”

Nangong said worriedly, “The resources consumed for Golden Bone are several times that of Golden Tendons.”

“Although I have a Secret Inheritance Bone Forging method, the resources are not enough.”

The light in Cui Moyang’s eyes faded, and she said with some disappointment, “Indeed, the resources are not enough.”

Chu Qing laughed, “We cultivators fight against Heaven and against people.”

“We must strive upstream; to not advance is to retreat!”

“There are many resources in the world, and they all belong to the virtuous!”

Nangong and Cui Moyang were bewildered, not understanding the meaning.

Chu Qing said bluntly, “Our neighbors’ resources are our resources!”

Nangong exclaimed, “To snatch them?”

Chu Qing nodded.

Cui Moyang frowned and said, “Even if we dig up Shiji County three feet deep, it wouldn’t be enough for one set of Golden Bone resources.”

Chu Qing burst out laughing, “If Shiji County doesn’t have it, we’ll go to Qinghe County.”

“If Qinghe County doesn’t have it, we’ll go to the Prefecture City; or, take a big step and go directly to the Zhou City for resources!”

The two women were speechless.

In the county towns, they could rely on their Noble families status and methods to suppress things.

But, Prefecture City had experts like clouds, and Zhou City was even more terrifying.

Going to such places for resources was purely… seeking death!

However, the current resources were enough for them for now.

golden incense was effective for bone forging, nourishing medicinal pastes were also effective, and Bright Pearls, although primarily for forging tendons, were also effective for bone forging.

It was just that the effect was nearly a hundred times weaker.

Perhaps, if they consumed enough, it could still improve!

At this moment, Chu Qing said, “Since we’re starting to forge bones, let’s all do it together here!”

“If anything unexpected happens, others can help!”

The two women nodded.

Bone forging was very different from tendon forging, and the first time was quite dangerous.

Under normal circumstances, when they forged bones, the Martial Instructors would watch over them.

But now, they could look after each other.

The first to forge bones was Cui Moyang.

She also had a Secret Inheritance Bone Forging method.

“I’ll start with my left pinky finger!”

The next second, she activated her Secret Inheritance Bone Forging method, and with a 'crack', she shattered the outermost bone of her pinky finger.

Then, she frowned, sweat beading on her forehead.

Chu Qing and Nangong noticed that the tip of Cui Moyang’s pinky finger instantly swelled.

Her fair finger turned crimson.

This was the external manifestation caused by the Secret Inheritance Bone Forging method shattering the bone.

Hoo!

Cui Moyang exhaled a breath of turbid Qi, and continued to activate her Secret Inheritance.

Her 365 Golden Tendons vibrated, a strange Power was born, and golden patterns spread across her exposed skin.

The strange Power, like needle and thread, connected the shattered bone.

One minute… ten minutes… Cui Moyang exhaled another breath of turbid Qi.

Nangong quickly said, “You’ve succeeded?”

Cui Moyang nodded.

Nangong said excitedly, “Next, it’s my turn.”

“By the way, does it hurt?”

Cui Moyang wiped the cold sweat from her forehead and said calmly, “It doesn’t hurt!”

Nangong was even happier.

She didn’t hesitate to shatter the bone at the tip of her pinky finger.

The next second, she winced, clutching her finger in pain, “It hurts so much!”

“Cui Moyang, you lied to me?”

Cui Moyang said coolly, “It doesn’t hurt means it doesn’t hurt!”

“If you don’t speed up your practice, it will hurt even more later.”

Nangong glared at her fiercely, then vibrated her 365 Golden Tendons to mend the shattered bone.

One minute… ten minutes… she also exhaled a breath of turbid Qi.

The shattered bone was mended by the Power of the Golden Tendons.

In the future, under the refinement of the Golden Tendons’ Power, after the bone healed, one bone forging would be completed.

Under normal circumstances, Iron Bones would be born.

They had the Secret Inheritance Bone Forging method, so there was a certain chance of producing Bronze Bones.

However, because their 365 Golden Tendons had reached Perfection, Bronze Bones were guaranteed, and there was a certain chance of producing Silver Bones.

As for Golden Bone… it not only required the Secret Inheritance Bone Forging method, but also needed to consume a large amount of resources during the bone healing period and repeatedly nourish it with Golden Tendons to be born.

At this point, both women had completed their practice.

They both stared at Chu Qing.

Chu Qing coughed and said, “Now, it’s my turn.”

Nangong wiggled her swollen pinky finger and said, “It really hurts!”

Chu Qing nodded.

He activated the Black Water Bone Forging Method.

The next second, 'Crack!'

The bone at the tip of his finger shattered, then swelled up.

Pain!

It was too painful.

“No wonder when I cut people, some said it hurt!”

“Turns out, breaking a bone really hurts!”

He took a deep breath, activated his 365 Golden Tendons, and began to mend the bone.

One minute… ten minutes… the two women watched Chu Qing expectantly.

However, Chu Qing didn’t open his eyes and continued mending.

It was a full hour later before he exhaled a breath of turbid Qi and opened his eyes.

By this time, he was drenched in sweat from head to toe.

The two women quickly said, “You took so long!”

Chu Qing… “The bone was shattered too severely, so mending it took time.”

Cui Moyang’s heart stirred and she said, “The bone at the tip of my pinky finger shattered into thirty-six pieces.”

“What about yours?”

Nangong also said, “Mine was also thirty-six pieces!”

Chu Qing was silent for a moment and said, “Mine was seventy-two pieces!”

Nangong… Cui Moyang… *Crack!*

Cui Moyang once again activated her Secret Inheritance, shattering her bone again.

Hmm… this time it was good, seventy-two pieces.

Nangong did the same.

Chu Qing murmured, losing his voice, “What ruthless people!”

An hour later, the two women were sweating profusely, their clothes soaked, and they had mended their bones.

“We’re not worse than you!”

The two women spoke in unison.

Chu Qing’s eyes darted around, and he nodded, “Yes, you are not worse than me!”

Nangong was triumphant, like a peacock.

Cui Moyang, being meticulous, lowered her head and looked at her translucent top, then said coolly, “Does it look good?”

Chu Qing… Nangong… for a moment, the atmosphere was not harmonious.

Just as Chu Qing was about to explain that his eyes had developed a will of their own, someone knocked on the door.

Soon, the maids reported through the door, “Young Master, Lan Yichen wishes to see you!”

Chu Qing said, “Tell him to wait for me in the living room!”

Then, he swiftly ran outside.

Seeing him drenched in sweat, the maids immediately laughed, “Young Master, you must be exhausted!”

“Shall we get you some loach to replenish your energy?”

Chu Qing… “Don’t be silly, go do your work!”

“Yes!”

After dismissing the maids, Chu Qing looked at Lan Yichen.

Lan Yichen had an anxious expression.

Beside him, Lan Lan also looked troubled.

Zhao Hongxiu’s brows were even tightly furrowed.

“What’s wrong?”

Chu Qing remained unhurried, sitting grandly.

Lan Yichen clasped his fists in greeting and said in a hurry, “Master Qing, something bad has happened.”
