131: Dragon tendon news

time flies:

More than ten days had passed since the rebel army was annihilated outside the city.

Chu Qing's life was quite pleasant.

Every day, he consumed a large amount of Secret medicine, golden incense, and specially made luminous pearls to replenish his body's deficiencies and diligently Cultivate his bones.

As more Black Gold Bones were forged, Chu Qing gradually discovered the profoundness of Golden Bones.

The more Golden Bones he had, the faster he recovered his foundation.

Five Black Gold Bones were equivalent to one basic Secret medicine.

Initially, he thought this was normal.

However, one day, when Nangong secretly sought him out to Cultivate the Heavenly Demon Strategy, he learned from Nangong that:

Nangong was Cultivating Heavenly Demon Golden Bones.

Although she had also forged five Golden Bones, her recovery speed was only one-third of his.

However, her Heavenly Demon Golden Bones had other profound uses.

Chu Qing then asked Cui Moyang.

This cold beauty was Cultivating Ice Soul Golden Bones; her recovery speed was only one-tenth of his; but, they had other effects.

Chu Qing randomly flipped through books and finally discovered in a book that:

Ordinary Golden Bones only had the effect of increasing strength.

Only special Golden Bones had other effects.

Moreover, each type of Golden Bone had different effects.

"The greatest effect of my Black Gold Bones is to restore my foundation, right!"

This effect did not significantly impact combat power.

However, it could increase Cultivation progress and reduce resource consumption.

And this was only the effect of five Black Gold Bones.

If the number of Black Gold Bones increased, the effect would be even more powerful.

"This is good, I can quickly pass through the Bone Forging Realm!"

Chu Qing became even more addicted to Cultivating.

He only slept two hours a day.

The rest of the time, he was Cultivating.

When his Cultivation progress was too fast, leading to an insufficient foundation, he would frantically consume various Secret medicine for nourishment.

To obtain nourishing Secret medicine, he even exchanged them with academic credits.

For a time, many Inner Courtyard students traded with him.

In their opinion, academic credits were more important.

With academic credits, they could choose more Advanced Cultivation Techniques.

With academic credits, they could even invite the Dean or Vice Dean to personally guide them.

But Chu Qing didn't need that at all.

He could see the Dean at any time.

He could ask the Dean for guidance at any time.

It was just that he was currently mainly Cultivating the Black Water Bone Forging Method and didn't pay much attention to martial Dao such as Moves.

Nangong also advised him: "You shouldn't just Cultivate Golden Bones."

"Moves are also very important!"

Chu Qing smiled and said: "Moves are good, but the Realm is more important."

"When I cut down the rebels, I relied on the Great Perfection of Golden Tendons."

"A casual blow would shatter ordinary people."

"Moves... are not important to me for now."

"You should also follow my example."

"If my Golden Bones reach Perfection, no matter how exquisite your Moves are, can you withstand the crushing force of my Perfection Golden Bones?"

Nangong seemed to ponder.

From then on, she significantly reduced the time she allocated to Moves and also focused on Cultivating the Secret Inheritance Bone Forging Method.

Not long after, Wang Yinyang and others also successively entered the Bone Forging Realm.

When they learned that Chu Qing planned to Cultivate Golden Bones to Perfection, they were all stunned, just like Nangong and Cui Moyang were initially.

"Golden Bone Perfection? The resources consumed for that are countless!"

Chu Qing smiled and said: "Resources are not a problem."

"If there are no resources, just go and snatch them."

The Crowd... was speechless.

Chu Qing didn't care whether Mingyue, Wang Yinyang, and others planned to Cultivate Golden Bones to Perfection.

Anyway, he set a small goal for himself:

At all costs, complete the Golden Bone Cultivation within two years.

Then step into the Blood Refinement Realm.

After three years, pass the assessment and enter the Zhou City Martial Academy.

Because the Vice Dean said:

The Zhou City Martial Academy had more resources and more powerful Secret Inheritances.

If he wanted to go further on the martial Dao, he had to enter Zhou City, and then attack the Main City Martial Academy.

Finally, before the Great Qian Empire collapsed, he would enter the Imperial Capital Martial Academy.

"If you can enter the Imperial Capital Martial Academy within ten years, then... your future is truly limitless."

Chu Qing didn't know why his future would be limitless after entering the Imperial Capital Martial Academy.

However, he knew that he had to work harder and harder.

Improve his Cultivation as quickly as possible.

Because:

It was currently the 987th year of the Great Qian Empire.

Theoretically, the Great Qian Empire would collapse in at most thirteen years.

When a huge Empire collapses, a long period of war follows.

Once war breaks out, one's life is precarious.

There would be no more opportunities to Cultivate quietly and improve one's Cultivation as it was now.

Therefore:

He had to seize the time.

One day... ten days... by the end of the month... within this month:

The rebels never came to Shiji County again.

Zheng Zhixiang led a large number of rebels and, at great cost, occupied Qinghe County.

It was said that after the rebels entered Qinghe County, they did not sheathe their blades for three days.

Three days later:

The population of Qinghe County decreased by two-thirds.

Subsequently:

Within a short month, Zheng Zhixiang led the rebels to successively capture five or six county towns.

Most of the Wubao Lords and prominent families had defected to Zheng Zhixiang.

Several rebel-held county towns surrounded Shiji County, completely.

However, they did not attack Shiji County, as if they had forgotten about it.

But everyone knew:

It was precisely because of Chu Qing, this peerless ruthless person, that Zheng Zhixiang did not attack.

However, everyone, including Chu Qing, also knew that this was merely the calm before the storm.

Zheng Zhixiang would come to Shiji County sooner or later.

By that time... they would not be facing rebels like bean sprouts, but a large number of elite rebels.

Crisis was imminent.

But Chu Qing didn't care at all.

He continued to Cultivate methodically.

One Golden Bone... five... By the end of the month, when he ascended the Stone Tower, Chu Qing had thirteen Black Gold Bones.

When he had 365 Golden Tendons, he feared no enemy in the Martial Academy.

Now, with an additional thirteen Golden Bones, it was equivalent to having more than 60 Golden Tendons.

His strength had once again surged significantly.

Therefore, this challenge was easily accomplished.

After stepping onto the fourth floor of the Stone Tower:

The daily basic resources increased by one share.

Academic credits also increased slightly.

The daily golden incense reached seven shares.

However, the nourishing ointment share did not increase; it remained two shares.

Although many other privileges increased, Chu Qing didn't care about them at all.

He only wanted resources now.

On the contrary, Nangong and others were overjoyed to have reached the fourth floor of the Stone Tower.

This day:

Chu Qing activated the Black Water Bone Forging Method to refine his Golden Bones.

Nangong, barefoot, tossed and turned on his knees and shoulders, Cultivating the second volume of the Heavenly Demon Strategy.

Lan Lan came over holding two letters:

"Qing Ge, you have letters."

Hoo!

Chu Qing exhaled a mouthful of turbid Qi and immediately checked the letters.

Because only three people wrote to him:

Madam Jin, Tang Wuming, and Apothecary Li.

He valued letters from these three people.

The first letter was from Apothecary Li.

"Master Qing, the marching pills and hemostatic powder have filled a warehouse, but funds are running low."

Chu Qing pondered for a moment, wrote a letter, stamped it, and told Lan Lan:

"You deliver this to the Wubao Lords and have them prepare gold, silver, and medicinal materials."

"Yes!"

Lan Lan dared not neglect and immediately went down with the letter.

At this time, Chu Qing opened the second letter:

This one was from Tang Wuming.

Since he had killed thousands of rebels some days ago, Tang Wuming's letters had become fewer.

Because this guy had been stimulated by Chu Qing.

At first, he was a member of a prominent family, and Chu Qing was far inferior to him.

Now, Chu Qing had surpassed him.

He was working hard to expand the rebel army and rarely wrote letters.

However, every letter that came was definitely about something important.

"Qing Ge, a fisherman discovered a strange large tendon, but when my people went to ask for it, he secretly sold that large tendon to a Peddler!"

"But Qing Ge, don't worry, I will definitely..."

Rip.

Chu Qing tore up the letter.

He rubbed his hands together, and the letter actually turned into a pile of powder, scattering on the ground.

"Strange large tendon?"

"Peddler?"

"Hehe... daring to take my dragon tendon, truly... courting death!"

At this moment, his Killing Intent soared to the sky.
