61: Chapter 61 Spending money is easy, making money is hard!

With Sun Wende personally and enthusiastically seeing him off, Chen An stepped out of the gate of Tianbao Pavilion. Standing on the street, watching the bustling crowd, he couldn't help but let out a soft sigh.

The two million yuan crystals hadn't even warmed up in his pocket yet, and after one trip to Tianbao Pavilion, he had already spent nearly half of them.

Two marrow cleansing and bone tempering pills, priced at 230,000 yuan crystals each, and one Profound Rank storage bag for 300,000 yuan crystals—a total expenditure of 760,000 yuan crystals.

These yuan crystals were almost enough for him to advance a small Realm.

However, Chen An also knew that some money had to be spent.

Although the chance of the marrow cleansing and bone tempering pill improving his bone quality was low, the 30% success rate for the first time was enough for him to take a gamble.

Not to mention a 30% chance, even if there was only a 10% Opportunity, Chen An would not hesitate for a second.

The Martial Bone is the Foundation of the martial path. The higher the Rank of the Martial Bone, not only is the future potential for Cultivate stronger, but for him, who possessed the System, the consumption would also be significantly reduced.

Taking a deep breath, Chen An walked briskly towards his home.

Not long after, Chen An returned home, closed the door, and entered the room. He reached into his robe, and suddenly, a warm, blue jade bottle with plum blossom patterns appeared in his hand.

Pulling out the stopper and tilting the bottle gently, two round, glistening white Medicinal Pills with a faint luster rolled out, and at the same time, a refreshing medicinal fragrance filled the air.

Glancing at the two marrow cleansing and bone tempering pills, Chen An took a deep breath. He reached out to take one, put the other one away, and then swallowed the marrow cleansing and bone tempering pill.

The Medicinal Pill melted upon entering his mouth and flowed into his stomach, where it transformed into a warm and rich torrent of medicinal power, instantly surging through his throat and into his limbs and bones.

Chen An immediately sat cross-legged on the bed, closed his eyes, calmed his mind, and circulated his Cultivation Technique to guide the flow of the medicinal power.

The massive medicinal potency, like a rushing warm current, scoured his Meridians, inch by inch saturating the bones within his body.

The Martial Bone does not refer to any specific bone in the body, but is a collective term for all the bones from head to toe, the limbs and bones, and is the fundamental Foundation for a Martial Artist to stand and Cultivate the Dao.

At first, it was just a faint tingling sensation that slowly spread along the skeletal structure, but then the medicinal power suddenly erupted, turning into fine strands of Spiritual Qi that burrowed into the crevices of his bones.

A sour, swollen, and burning pain swept through his entire body, as if countless tiny needles were carving and reshaping his bones.

Chen An took a deep breath and focused, steadying his mind so it wouldn't be disturbed by the excruciating pain, allowing the medicinal power of the marrow cleansing and bone tempering pill to continuously wash, temper, and polish his Martial Bone.

The Impurities attached to the bones inside his body were forced out bit by bit by the medicinal power, turning into faint black stains on the surface of his skin through his pores. His originally slightly rough bones, under the continuous nourishment and reshaping of the medicinal power, gradually began to glow with a luster as moist and smooth as jade.

Time passed slowly. After half an hour, the remaining medicinal power in his body was completely exhausted.

"Crack, crack, crack!!!"

With a faint, booming sound of bones resonating from within his body, the aura around Chen An changed abruptly, as if he had been reborn in an instant.

Under the effect of the marrow cleansing and bone tempering pill, his Mid-grade Martial Bone completely transformed and advanced into a High-grade Martial Bone!

A surge of cultivation insights, far surpassing what he had known before, flooded his mind. The speed at which his body absorbed the Origin Qi of heaven and earth surged dramatically, causing his originally rock-solid Qi to tremble.

Pfft!!!

The next moment, a terrifying aura erupted from his body.

The biting aura swept in all directions. Wherever it passed, strong winds howled. The tables, chairs, benches, wooden shelves, and utensils in the room could not withstand this massive pressure at all. Without even a moment to struggle, they instantly shattered and crumbled, turning into dust that rained down across the floor.

Fortunately, his Martial Bone had already successfully advanced to a High-grade Martial Bone. Chen An's mind jolted, and he quickly regained his composure. Daring not to let the massive aura leak out wantonly, he hurriedly focused his mind and calmed his Qi, circulating his Cultivation Technique to forcibly restrain and constrain the restless and surging Innate Gang Yuan within his body.

The violent, overflowing aura was forcibly pressed back into his Meridians and Dantian like a receding tide, and the terrifying pressure that had just swept through the entire room vanished instantly.

"Holy crap!!!"

Chen An slowly opened his eyes. As his gaze swept across the room, he was instantly stunned.

The tables, chairs, wooden cabinets, and desks that had originally been in the room had all turned into dust and vanished completely. Looking around, it was empty, with only the wooden bed he was sitting on remaining intact.

A perfectly good room had been completely destroyed by the aura that leaked out during his Breakthrough. It was so empty that even a mouse, if it came in, wouldn't be able to find a place to stand or hide.

"Oh well, let's just consider this the price for advancing to a High-grade Martial Bone!"

Chen An shook his head, a wry smile appearing on his face.

There was no help for it; who else was to blame but himself?!

Besides, they were just old furniture in the house anyway; it didn't matter if they were destroyed, and he didn't feel too bad about it.

Originally, he had planned to get himself a better room after the Martial Examination, preferably one with a sturdier secret room for Cultivate.

But thinking that he would be leaving Wurong County tomorrow, and the road ahead was unknown, he decided not to waste the money.

His eyes darted slightly, and Chen An quickly stopped dwelling on the scene of chaos in the room.

A pungent, foul odor from the filthy Impurities expelled after the marrow cleansing and bone tempering lingered in his nostrils. He frowned slightly, hurriedly got up, walked outside, fetched some clean water, and carefully washed and bathed.

After he finished washing, the strange odor on his body was completely cleaned off, and he felt refreshed. Only then did a smile appear on his face.

He hadn't expected that a single marrow cleansing and bone tempering pill, with a 30% chance, would actually allow him to successfully upgrade his Mid-grade Martial Bone to a High-grade Martial Bone.

After his Martial Bone was upgraded, he discovered that the speed at which he refined the Origin Qi of heaven and earth was indeed ten times faster than before.

This also meant that when he only had a Mid-grade Martial Bone, he would have needed one hundred years to refine a sliver of Innate Gang Yuan.

But now, after his Martial Bone had been upgraded to High Grade, he only needed ten years to refine a sliver of Innate Gang Yuan.

This also meant that the Middle Stage of the Great Grandmaster Realm, which would have originally required him to consume 890,000 yuan crystals to Breakthrough, now required less than 90,000 yuan crystals.

"Hahaha, it seems my luck is not bad!"

Saving such a large sum of yuan crystals at once made Chen An laugh out loud with joy.

Although spending hundreds of thousands of yuan crystals on the marrow cleansing and bone tempering pill at once seemed a bit wasteful.

However, with such a Mid-grade Martial Bone advancing to a High-grade Martial Bone, this expenditure was not a loss at all; on the contrary, it was a huge profit.

"First, let's raise my cultivation!"

Taking a deep breath, Chen An suppressed his emotions, then with a thought, he summoned the System and directly took out the remaining 1.2 million yuan crystals to recharge it.

"System, consume 900,000 yuan crystals, exchange for 900,000 years of Cultivate time, and begin Cultivate!"

Boom!!!
