Purple Mist Dao Master-Chapter 179 - 160: Essence Stone! Bone Training!

After the discussion was settled.

Wang Zhengyi first sent Wang Kuan back to Dayan through the prototype of the Star Gate at Suanzao Mountain, and then returned to meet with everyone to discuss how to return to Woniu Mountain to hunt the tiger cat.

A round trip would take about three days.

During these three days, Yan Chuan and others waited for Wang Zhengyi on the spot and refined the Essence Stones as quickly as possible.

Jian Rong and Huo Zhen immediately went into closed-door cultivation with the Essence Stones.

Yan Chuan, Cheng Fengxiao, and Chen Ze, the three master and disciples, gathered together.

"Master, when Guangling opened its academy, it was a grand momentum, an unprecedented change in a thousand years. To be safe, I deliberately let junior brother join Guangling Academy."

"He is different from Wei Quan and Wang Jinbao, he wasn’t willing in the first place."

Yan Chuan held Chen Ze, explaining to Cheng Fengxiao for him.

Cheng Fengxiao looked at Chen Ze kneeling in front of him, then at Yan Chuan, and couldn’t help but laugh self-deprecatingly, "I was too shortsighted back then and almost delayed both of you. Luckily, one of you joined the academy and the other the Martial Arts Hall, all of you broke the limits."

Seeing Chen Ze, Cheng Fengxiao couldn’t help but recall his own stubbornness back then, truly regretting and hating himself. Back then, he was so furious at the betrayal of Chen Ze, Wei Quan, and other disciples that he vomited blood. Now that he heard Chen Ze was Yan Chuan’s spy in Guangling Academy, he felt much better.

He helped Chen Ze up, "It was my mistake back then. I’ve blamed you wrongly all these years. I feel guilty as your master!"

"Master, you blame yourself too much!"

Chen Ze’s nose turned sour. All these years alone in Guangling Academy, though he had the support and understanding of his senior brother, the scolding from his master back then, and his own inner turmoil, were not the least bit less. Finally, today he was able to reveal everything to his master and let him know the truth and receive his understanding, which made him both sour and bitter, unable to speak through sobs.

"Junior brother!"

"It’s all in the past!"

Yan Chuan patted Chen Ze’s shoulder, with boundless courage in his chest, "You are in the academy, and I and Master are in the Martial Arts Hall. Now we have all broken through the limits, and we have a promising future ahead!"

Master broke through the limit!

Chen Ze broke through the limit!

This was the greatest surprise for Yan Chuan during this trip to the Mountain and Sea Realm.

Chen Ze calmed his emotions a bit and said to Yan Chuan, "Actually, I owe my breakthrough to senior brother!"

"Thanks to Chuan’er?"

Cheng Fengxiao was puzzled.

Yan Chuan was also curious, "Me?"

Aside from teaching Chen Ze the ’Tiger Crane Double Forms’ in August, the following was during the hunting of the ’Golden Rock Earth Dragon’ at Guangling Academy—

"Golden Rock Earth Dragon?!"

Yan Chuan reacted.

Chen Ze nodded, "If it weren’t for senior brother killing Tu Lie, and then drawing Tu Meng over, making Guangling Academy gain two additional Sky Shattering Bows for no reason, the academy wouldn’t have been able to capture the Golden Rock Earth Dragon alive, nor kill it. With the help of two Sky Shattering Bows, the academy captured the Golden Rock Earth Dragon. After drawing its blood, they got a lot of dragon blood. Because I was the first to discover the Golden Rock Earth Dragon, they rewarded me with ten jin of dragon blood, which helped me break through in one stroke."

He looked at Yan Chuan, "If they couldn’t capture the Golden Rock Earth Dragon alive, the academy wouldn’t have enough dragon blood and wouldn’t have been so generous to give me ten jin."

In short—

Without Yan Chuan’s Sky Shattering Bow, Guangling Academy wouldn’t have captured the Golden Rock Earth Dragon alive, and Chen Ze wouldn’t have gotten ten jin of dragon blood and wouldn’t have broken through the limits.

A drink and a peck, there’s always a preordained fate!

This really could be owed to Yan Chuan.

"I see!"

Cheng Fengxiao finally understood, linking the events together, he looked at Yan Chuan, "No wonder I couldn’t find you when I returned to White Rock Mountain that day!"

Hearing Chen Ze’s recount, even though it was in the past, Cheng Fengxiao couldn’t help but break into a sweat for this senior disciple!

White Rock Shuang Tu!

Limit-breaking strong opponents!

Yan Chuan was actually targeted by two limit-breaking level enemies, narrowly escaped death, and finally managed to survive by getting to the Guangling Academy’s territory.

The danger was imaginable!

Cheng Fengxiao was afraid.

But Yan Chuan didn’t mind; wanting to go far in the martial path, such opponents and dangers like ’White Rock Shuang Tu’ would not be few in the future.

Danger.

Fighting.

All foreseeable.

Yan Chuan skipped over the ’White Rock Shuang Tu,’ speaking about his experiences after leaving the Mountain and Sea Realm the last time—

Jiang Bianliu!

Dragon Blood!

Taikang Academy!

Hundred Flower Palace!

Xingyi Boxing!

In over a month, Yan Chuan experienced tremendous events.

"Hundred Flower Palace!"

"Xingyi Boxing!"

Cheng Fengxiao exclaimed with admiration, "The disciple surpasses the master, far beyond his blue predecessor, I am no match for you!"

Ever since the ’Seventy-two Skills’ and ’Tiger Crane Double Forms,’ his disciple hadn’t stopped innovating martial arts, becoming unstoppable.

By the time of ’Six Harmonies Eight Techniques Fist’ and ’Five Forms Eight Techniques Fist,’ he had reached the limit of the Cheng Family Boxing, with no further entrance. But Yan Chuan now, after creating the ’Flowers Mistake Fist’ based on the Hundred Schools Boxing Skill, went on to create the unrivaled ’Xingyi Boxing’!

Amazing talent!

He couldn’t compare!

"Master, you have also broken through the limits. Maybe it was even earlier than me!" Yan Chuan laughed, actually quite curious about how his master broke through the limit.

Chen Ze had ten jin of dragon blood, treasure to break limits.

And Cheng Fengxiao?

"I was lucky."

Cheng Fengxiao laughed lightly.

Back when Yan Chuan was teaching and learning languages at White Rock Mountain, Cheng Fengxiao was exploring everywhere. That day, because he ran far, he delayed for two hours, and when he came back, he couldn’t find Yan Chuan. But he found traces of a fight on White Rock Mountain.

Concerned, Cheng Fengxiao searched everywhere but had no results.

He suspected Yan Chuan had returned to Dayan but feared Yan Chuan was captured, so he didn’t dare venture out and searched for Yan Chuan’s whereabouts in the White Rock Four Divisions’ territory.

In the end, he didn’t find his disciple but stumbled upon many stalactites in a cave within the White Rock Four Divisions. He stayed in there for three days, consuming countless drops of stalactite essence, his Qi-Blood continuously increased, and somehow broke through the limit.

While breaking through, his Qi-Blood surged, alarming the elite soldiers of the White Rock Four Divisions. Cheng Fengxiao escaped through the cave and fled through an underground stream, luckily appearing in the mine at Woniu Mountain, where he found Essence Stones and stayed till now.

...

"This—"

Yan Chuan was astounded like listening to a tale, "Could this be the fate of a child of destiny?"

When Cheng Fengxiao first entered the Mountain and Sea Realm alone, he obtained six Vermilion Fruits, with great Qi-Blood increase.

In his second trip with Yan Chuan, after getting separated, not only did Cheng Fengxiao easily break the limit but by chance followed the underground stream to the mine at Woniu Mountain, obtaining about ten jin of Essence Stones!

His luck was too incredible!

"Stalactite?"

"White Rock Four Divisions?"

Chen Ze, listening at the side, guessed, "Perhaps it’s a ’Ten-thousand-year-old Stalactite,’ naturally developed over ten thousand years, nourishing over time, producing ’Ten Thousand Year Stalactite Essence’ inside that can enhance Qi-Blood. Consuming large amounts might even help to break the limit."

Ten-thousand-year-old Stalactite!

Ten Thousand Year Stalactite Essence!

It should be the private property of the Tu brothers from the White Rock Four Divisions, used for cultivation, accumulated for many many years. In the end, the Tu brothers either directly or indirectly got defeated by Yan Chuan, and their treasured ’Ten Thousand Year Stalactite Essence’ was swept clean by Cheng Fengxiao!

Cheng Fengxiao’s luck was unbelievably good!

...

The three master and disciples exchanged a few more words and quickly went into closed-door cultivation again.

’Essence Stone’ is unique.

Once it’s taken from veins like ’Xuan Tie Ore,’ its essence energy would dissipate in a few days.

The way to store ’Essence Stone’ for the long term in the Mountain and Sea Realm is by setting up storages in the mineral veins to massively store ’Essence Stones.’

And when the Great Yan Warriors obtain ’Essence Stones’ in the Mountain and Sea Realm, if the quantity is small, they fully absorb and refine it within three to five days. Otherwise, they rush to bring the Essence Stones back to Dayan before they lose their essence energy. In Dayan, even if it’s not in veins like ’Xuan Tie Ore,’ the essence energy in the Essence Stone won’t dissipate.

It can be said that the whole of Dayan is like a large-scale vein, firmly locking the rich essence energy in Essence Stones.

"Ordinary break limit requires at least five to ten days to refine one jin of Essence Stone."

"Secret Method Break Limit takes approximately two to three days to refine one jin of Essence Stone."

"What about me?"

Yan Chuan stood in a rocky cave in the mountain, took a piece of Essence Stone, fist-sized, about two jin, held it in his hand, and induced his Qi-Blood. Instantly, a refreshing air seeped out from the Essence Stone, permeating into his body through his palm.

His Qi-Blood got nourished and slowly strengthened.

But at a very slow pace.

However, as Yan Chuan assumed the ’Three Body Formation,’ his Qi-Blood flowed like a river, and instantly, the essence energy from the Essence Stone poured into Yan Chuan’s body like a sprinting river, increasing the pace tenfold or hundredfold, endlessly.

"Refreshing!"

Qi-Blood surged, and Yan Chuan was overjoyed!

Two hours later.

The Qi-Blood within Yan Chuan gradually stabilized, and the effect of the ’Three Body Formation’ drastically declined, so Yan Chuan stopped it and started his boxing—

Five Elements Boxing!

Twelve Forms!

In no time, the Qi-Blood surged like waves again, and the essence energy from the Essence Stone flooded down once more.

By this time, the Qi-Blood that Yan Chuan had consumed while resisting the Du Head of the Black Armor Army was long replenished. Now brimming with Qi-Blood, Yan Chuan started Bone Training.

Straight forward and above, fists forming, the eyes of the fists upturned, and fists inward, force on the fist surface. When exerting force, concealed power stored, short distance sudden release, arms not fully outstretched, force originating from the root, sudden fierce movement, quick and intense, force penetrating the organs!

This is the Beng Fist!

Bang, bang, bang!

Yan Chuan’s fists shot like arrows, strength like a bolt, his entire Qi-Blood flowing, circulating throughout his body, and under his guidance, swirling and tempering at the bone of the big toe’s first joint of his right foot.

Bone Training!

Bone Tempering!

Mysterious beyond explanation!

Not so specific, nor so clear, all relied on perception. If perceived, then it was tempered. If deeply perceived, then it was successfully tempered.

There’s no reasoning to explain!

Can’t explain it! freёweɓnovel.com

Everyone’s specific feeling is different.

Yan Chuan’s Bone Training began at the toe bone but involved the whole body simultaneously. Although the toe bone was the primary focus, with Qi-Blood circulating, more or less all bones throughout the body were also being tempered.

This was the main cost of Qi-Blood consumption.

Bone Training Breaking Limits!

Bone strength different from ordinary people!

This referred not only to the primarily tempered bones but included any bones in the body.

Take Shao Yancong, for example.

He trained his upper limb bones, and though his arms were not entirely tempered, his lower limb bones, trunk bones, and even skull were all harder than ordinary, only slightly weaker than his own arms.

For the reason—

Bone Tempering! Bone Training!

This is a whole!

From point to surface, from surface to point.

Point-specific is quick!

Surface-wide is slow!

That’s all.

Rumbling!

Yan Chuan executed the ’Half-step Beng Fist,’ triggering ’Tiger and Leopard Thunder Sound’ within, with essence energy from the Essence Stone streaming endlessly!
