"Dance to the song while seeking intoxication."
"The autumn wind sways."
"Flow like moving clouds and water."
On the martial arts training ground, fists and feet were continuously swung. As the names of these moves were shouted out, the sound reverberated through Zhong Lin’s entire body.
The outer and inner layers of the bones were all vibrating, making his body feel tingling and numb.
Once, twice, three times...
Zhong Lin sunk into the vibrations of the bones, and at this moment, he seemed to see some mysterious substances faintly within the depths of the bones.
That was the bone marrow.
It was unknown how long it took, but when Zhong Lin called out the name of the final move, a vibration seemed to pierce through a layer of the barrier within the bones, and the sound instantly impacted the bone marrow.
Immediately, a sharp pain spread throughout his entire body.
This pain seemed to touch the soul, and even though Zhong Lin had an incredibly firm will, at that moment, he almost couldn’t hold on.
He immediately came back to his senses in that wonderful sensation.
"Bone Tempering and Marrow Infiltration, the Jade Bone is complete."
Zhong Lin instantly understood what was happening and was overjoyed in his heart. The Golden Muscle and Jade Bone had finally been refined to completion.
In his perception, his bones had completely transformed into a "jade hue".
This was the true Jade Bone.
The Jade Bone had been achieved so suddenly.
At this moment, Zhong Lin’s bones were incredibly hard, like glass, which greatly enhanced every aspect of his physical condition.
For example, his power, his reaction speed, etc.
At this time, if he were to perform various martial arts, including weapons, both his speed and power would have substantially improved.
Skill: Breathing Skill (Full Level), Golden Muscle and Jade Bone Skill (Full Level), Five Animals Qigong (Full Level)...
Techniques: White Python Whip Technique (Full Level)...
Misc: Alchemy: Third Grade Elixir (Full Level)...
On the system panel, appeared the martial art "White Python Whip Technique," which was the result of Zhong Lin’s hard work over the past three days.
This martial art was a whip technique, which, when performed, resembled a writhing white python, fast as lightning, catching opponents off guard.
Moreover, this whip technique is most effective against swordsmanship; when refined to high levels, wherever the long whip reaches, it is invincible.
Of course, this is an exaggerated statement, but the whip, being a soft weapon, is indeed hard to defend against when used.
And the whip in Zhong Lin’s hand is specially made, with a small blade at the tip, making it extremely lethal, threatening to cut throats and eyes if not careful.
"Young Master, Young Master Mei has arrived."
Zhong Lin reached out to take the towel handed to him by Ying Luo, wiped off the sweat, and casually said, "Invite him in."
Before long, accompanied by a nonchalant voice, Mei Weixuan stepped in.
"Zhong Lin, do you just lounge around in luxury every day and not know how many people in Tianyang City want to meet you?"
Zhong Lin handed the towel to the maid beside him and said with a smile, "Do you believe that if I reach the Upper Third Grades, even the nobles of the Capital City will come to befriend me?"
"What you said... I actually have no way to refute."
"That’s why strengthening oneself is the foundation. Right now, they only want to befriend me because of my master, not because of me. If the flower blooms, butterflies will come naturally. When I am strong enough, everyone will be a friend. Why waste effort trying to make connections?"
Mei Weixuan fell silent, repeatedly chewing over the words "If the flower blooms, butterflies will come naturally."
After a while, he looked at Zhong Lin with a complicated expression.
"Clearly, you came from a small place, yet you always manage to say such insightful things."
"The truth is, you understand it too; otherwise, you wouldn’t have reached Fifth Grade Inner Strengthening Realm at such a young age."
"Hey, hey, hey! That’s too much! Don’t think I don’t know you’ve also started practicing dirty techniques."
Mei Weixuan’s face darkened, feeling an urge to punch Zhong Lin’s smiling face.
Just a few days ago, he had learned from Gu Yourong that Zhong Lin’s Qi and blood had reached the state of Perfection, and he had already started practicing internal organ training.
At first, he thought it was a joke. He knew when Zhong Lin started condensing Qi and blood. In just a little over a month, he achieved Qi and blood Perfection and began practicing internal organs?
How old is Zhong Lin?
Counting it all, he’s only sixteen years old. A sixteen-year-old at Fifth Grade Inner Strengthening Realm—is that even human?
Zhong Lin laughed heartily. Somehow, every time he saw Mei Weixuan suffer a setback, he felt happy, like joking with an old friend from his previous life.
"It’s about time. Let me take a bath, change clothes, and we’ll head out."
After speaking, he ignored Mei Weixuan and walked towards the bathroom.
Half an hour later, Zhong Lin walked out refreshed, only to be greeted once again by Mei Weixuan’s face, black as the bottom of a pot, holding a long spear that Zhong Lin usually used for practice.
"Zhong Lin, I’ll kill you."
Saying this, he unhesitatingly thrust the spear toward Zhong Lin, aiming directly below.
"What are you doing?"
Zhong Lin quickly dodged, moving his body to the side.
"Ha, you still ask what I’m doing? You have the nerve to ask after the mess you made. Here, take my spear."
Mei Weixuan thrust the spear again, with the target unchanged.
Meanwhile, while the two were horsing around, Ying Luo walked out of the bathroom with a flushed face and weak legs.
This only further provoked Mei Weixuan’s rage.
"I’ll beat you, you licentious thief."
"Sorry, I got used to it and forgot you were still there!"
After some playful banter, the two left on horseback, heading towards Wuyun City.
This time, they did not take a carriage, each riding a horse, galloping freely.
Only an hour later did they slow down, primarily because the horses could not endure the pace.
Zhong Lin wore a blue cloud-patterned strong outfit, with a long sword hanging from his waist, his hair tied up with a jade hairpin. His posture was tall and straight, his face handsome and refined, making one marvel at what a fine gentleman he was.
On the other hand, Mei Weixuan was a bit fancier, dressed in white with a white jade accessory hanging from his waist, and his long, black hair fluttering in the wind. Unfortunately, he lacked the noble and elegant aura described in books, due to the road’s dust making him appear quite disheveled, and even his white clothes now appeared somewhat gray.
"Not a miscalculation, this is quite good; it has the feel of a foolish son of a rich landlord," Zhong Lin said with a smile.
"Get lost, get lost, you’re the foolish son of a rich landlord."
Mei Weixuan cursed angrily.
He patted the dust off his clothes while tidying up his disheveled hair.
"You were right to listen to me! Let the guard go to Wuyun City first, while we can enjoy the scenery along the way."
"You’re worried about people seeing you at brothels, aren’t you? Also, aren’t you afraid of running into bandits on the road?" Zhong Lin teased.
Before setting off yesterday, Mei Weixuan had already arranged for his guard and the guard team led by Xing Kui to head to Wuyun City first. Meanwhile, the two of them traveled lightly, each riding a horse, slowly making their way.
"Coarse, it’s called visiting flowers, not brothels. As for bandits, both of us are Fifth Grade martial artists. We can even fight Divine Power Realm experts. It’s a problem if we don’t become bandits. Who dares to ambush us? Even if we run into Upper Third Grades experts, it’s useless to have guards with us. If we’re meant to die, we’ll die, unless my father or Master Yin comes."
Mei Weixuan waved his hand nonchalantly.
Zhong Lin nodded along with him. In this Jianghu with so few Upper Third Grades experts, their martial arts cultivation was indeed not bad, and could even be considered top-notch. As long as they didn’t recklessly provoke a group attack, few could match
