123: My knife doesn't recognize the power of the

The Wubao Lords sent Chu Qing thirty-three portions of Secret medicine for bone forging that very day.

Swallowing this Secret medicine can accelerate bone healing.

The items were precious.

However, their value was not as high as a Bright Pearl.

They could only be compared to golden incense.

Chu Qing was quite displeased.

"Thirty-three Fortified Manors, and they gave me thirty-three portions of Secret medicine for bone forging."

"The Lan family of the Fortified Manor privately gave another thirty portions."

"Heh heh... interesting."

He directly threw them to Zhao Hongxiu and Lan Lan.

"You two should achieve Perfection in your Tendons as soon as possible; all these Secret medicine for bone forging are for you."

The two women were delighted.

But, after the delight, Lan Lan felt a little flustered: "Young Master, you won't use them?"

Chu Qing chuckled: "I've also read books."

"These few Secret medicine... aren't they for beggars?"

"Am I, Chu Qing, a beggar?"

Lan Lan instantly understood, knowing that Chu Qing disliked the resources being too few and of too low quality.

However:

Even this kind of Secret medicine was actually quite precious in a Fortified Manor.

Her brother could only get one portion every ten days.

Yet, Chu Qing disdained them.

She hastily explained.

After listening, Chu Qing smiled: "I understand."

"You two continue with your tasks; I'm going into secluded cultivation."

"Remember, call me the day after tomorrow at noon."

With that, he plunged into the quiet room and began to Cultivate.

All 365 Golden Tendons exerted their strength simultaneously.

An endless stream of strange power was generated, nourishing the fractured bones.

The bones healed rapidly.

But Chu Qing still found it too slow.

He lit ten golden incense sticks at once and swallowed the fragrant smoke.

The result was:

The effects produced by these fragrant smoke were not even as good as ten minutes of him operating his Perfected Golden Tendons.

However:

According to book records and the experience of the Martial Instructors, although the efficacy of golden incense was reduced during bone forging, one stick of golden incense was equivalent to a day's progress for an ordinary bone forger.

"Indeed, Perfected Golden Tendons are the true Dao."

He swallowed another Bright Pearl.

As a result, an ordinary Bright Pearl was equivalent to ten minutes of Perfected Golden Tendons progress.

A specially made Bright Pearl was equivalent to an hour.

And Madam Shi's top-grade specially made Bright Pearl could reduce his time by three hours.

"Indeed, Madam Jin was right, specially made Bright Pearls are still effective for me."

"But, it's still too slow!"

Chu Qing was dissatisfied.

He wanted more powerful Secret medicine.

More resources.

His goal was to forge at least one Golden Bone a day.

However, the current efficiency... was too low.

After some thought, he first Cultivated the Toad Skill, and then began the Black Water Bone Forging Method.

The efficiency increased again.

But he was still not satisfied.

As night fell:

"Perfected Golden Tendons, top-tier proficient Secret Inheritance, Toad Skill, top-grade specially made Bright Pearls."

"With these four types of resources supporting me, let alone forging tendons and bones, even the bone healing hasn't completed."

"The efficiency is too slow!"

Chu Qing was a little annoyed.

Bone forging might be slow, but it shouldn't be this slow.

He asked Nangong and Cui Moyang to come over.

Soon, the two women arrived.

"How long do you think it will take to forge the first bone?"

Nangong deduced and said: "Three days!"

Cui Moyang also said three days.

Chu Qing said irritably: "I feel it will take two and a half days."

The two women were surprised.

"How is your progress so fast?"

"What Secret medicine did you take?"

Chu Qing said with a wry smile: "Specially made Bright Pearls and golden incense."

The two women said strangely: "Specially made Bright Pearls can forge Golden Tendons; using them to forge bones is truly a waste."

Chu Qing chuckled: "I have many Bright Pearls, so I'm not afraid of wasting them."

The two women... Cui Moyang said: "With our Perfected Golden Tendons, our bone forging efficiency is already very high."

"Ordinary Martial Artists need a hundred days to heal bones."

"Secret Inheritance Martial Artists need thirty days."

"With our Perfected Golden Tendons, healing bones in about three days is already very fast."

Chu Qing shook his head and said: "It's not fast enough, it's still a bit slow."

Cui Moyang... "One Golden Bone in three days, over three hundred Golden Bones would take three years."

"Three years? How many three years do we have?"

Nangong... Chu Qing said: "After bone forging, there are six more minor Realms: Flesh, Five Viscera and Six Bowels, Skin and Hair, etc."

"If each minor Realm takes three years, how many years will it take to complete them all?"

"It's too long, I can't wait!"

Nangong weakly said: "You want to Cultivate every single Realm to Perfection?"

Chu Qing nodded.

Nangong and Cui Moyang both fell silent.

They were Prodigies from Noble families, but they had never thought of Cultivating all minor Realms to Perfection.

They hadn't even thought of perfecting their Golden Tendons.

But:

Chu Qing's appearance gave them hope.

"I don't care about your future paths."

"I currently only have one pursuit: to achieve Golden Bone Perfection within one year."

...Chu Qing had Lan Lan write a letter.

To the Wubao Lords, requesting more Advanced bone forging resources.

Then, he immersed himself in hard work.

Top-grade specially made Bright Pearls, golden incense, nourishing ointments, Toad Skill, etc.—he used everything that could enhance the speed of bone healing.

One crack healed...

The second... the third... Feeling the cracks heal, Chu Qing felt delighted... On the third day:

Zheng Zhixiang selected two heavy-armored guards and prepared to depart.

And just then, a Fortified Manor servant came to deliver a letter.

After examining the letter, he laughed uproariously, then suddenly threw a punch.

Bang!

The punch landed.

The Fortified Manor servant's head was blown off.

The Big Boss said: "General, what's the situation?"

"Are we going to war with the Fortified Manor?"

"Let me send a carrier pigeon to summon reinforcements, and we'll catch them off guard, turning everything upside down!"

Zheng Zhixiang sneered: "The Fortified Manor also invited Chu Qing to negotiate with us."

"Heh heh... are they trying to rebel?"

The Big Boss whispered: "General, we are the ones rebelling."

Zheng Zhixiang... "All heavy-armored guards, follow me!"

"Yes, sir!"

"Bring my weapon!"

"Yes!"

A group of heavy-armored guards marched forth mightily.

The Big Boss fiddled with a white pigeon, waiting only for an emergency to immediately send a carrier pigeon and summon reinforcements.

Zheng Zhixiang's heart was boiling with murderous intent.

Fortified Manor, Chu Qing, Shiji County, Qinghe County, Prefecture City.

"We lost in Prefecture City, and the Wubao Lords of Shiji County want to renegotiate terms with us."

"They clearly know that Chu Qing burned my cannon fodder and killed my nephew."

"Now, they even let him join in?"

"Heh heh... do they think my fist isn't hard enough?"

Zheng Zhixiang was furious.

He said to the heavy-armored guards:

"When we reach our destination, that Chu Qing will definitely unite with the Wubao Lords to give us a hard time!"

"At that time, do you know what to do?"

The heavy-armored guards said in unison:

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

Zheng Zhixiang was satisfied.

The Big Boss said, puzzled: "General, do they dare to give us a hard time?"

Zheng Zhixiang secretly shook his head.

This new subordinate isn't very smart.

He was annoyed.

But, having no one else under him, he could only explain:

"How long has Chu Qing been in the Martial Academy? How many major tendons could he have forged? And the quality is definitely not high."

"The Fortified Manors are also a bunch of weaklings."

"Since we are strong, they will definitely rack their brains to give us a hard time in order to gain benefits."

"So that they can gain the upper hand in future negotiations."

The Big Boss seemed to ponder.

Zheng Zhixiang continued:

"Unfortunately, I won't give them a chance."

"A hard time? Heh heh... my blade doesn't recognize a hard time!"
