Chapter 32 – Returned
[In the end, Lu Yi still refused your request to become his disciple.]
[He said there was nothing he could teach you.]
[However, before parting, he gifted you a piece of blue jade, claiming it was a Comprehension Stone he found years ago in the Yunmeng Secret Realm of You Prefecture. Using it can put you into a state of enlightenment, elevating your Sword Intent to a higher level.]
[You were overjoyed, realizing that this Comprehension Stone is definitely more valuable than even Profound Grade treasures. At the same time, you secretly remembered the Yunmeng Secret Realm in You Prefecture.]
[Four months later, you used the Comprehension Stone and comprehended twenty percent of Sword Intent, greatly enhancing your strength...]
[You consumed the Drunken Immortal Brew and refined Low-Grade Bronze Bones...]
"Is this Bronze Bones already?"
Chen Shi was somewhat surprised.
But after a moment's thought, he found it quite normal.
A quick look at bit.ly/3iBfjkV will leave you more fulfilled.
After all, this time Lin Manqing had rewarded him with treasures of a higher grade.
Profound Grade - Mid Quality Marrow Cleansing Pill.
Profound Grade - Mid Quality Drunken Immortal Brew.
Such top-tier resources, any one of them would be enough to cause a bloody storm outside.
[Five months later, after you used up the Marrow Cleansing Pill and Drunken Immortal Brew, your Body Tempering progress slowed to a crawl. Even with the Spirit Liquid sent by Li Ping, there was little progress. You knew that unless something unexpected happened, your path of Bone Refining had reached its peak.]
[During this period, Lin Manqing summoned you several times. Upon learning of your cultivation progress, she was disappointed each time, even a bit angry. She felt deceived, but since you were at least a Bronze Bones and had comprehended twenty percent of Sword Intent, she didn't do anything to you. Instead, she advised you not to rush into breaking through to the Spirit River Stage, because the Alpha Battalion Tournament only allowed disciples below the Spirit River Stage to participate. With your twenty percent Sword Intent strength, if luck was on your side, you might make it to the top ten and earn a chance to cultivate in the Song Family Spirit Pool.]
[By then, you could elevate your bone grade by another level, reaching High-Grade Bronze Bones or even Supreme Bronze Bones, opening six Spirit Rivers. Even if your innate talent wasn't outstanding, with your extraordinary comprehension, you would still have the ability to help Song Qingwei win the True Dragon Selection in the future...]
[Listening to Lin Manqing's plan, you couldn't help but feel a bit guilty.]
[Because you actually have no comprehension.]
[But fortunately, you have Song Fan, your good son, to morally coerce and let him take the lead in the future.]
[Six months later, recently, Lin Qiushui secluded herself in the residence, having nothing to do. At your suggestion, she began cultivating. Under your intense feeding, she unexpectedly broke through from the Skin Refining Stage to the Bone Refining Stage, reaching High-Grade Iron Bones. You realized her talent might not be simple either.]
[You initiated the Beloved Wife Development Plan.]
[You gave your portion of Spirit Liquid to Lin Qiushui and had her practice the Qi Absorption Method for Body Tempering.]
[The effect was surprisingly good.]
[In just one day, she refined Supreme Iron Bones.]
[This dealt a heavy blow to you.]
[That night, while discussing swordsmanship with her in the snowy mountains, you repeatedly interrupted her, leaving her speechless and her eyes red with frustration.]
[Seven months later, Lin Qiushui refined Low-Grade Bronze Bones.]
[Eight months later, Lin Qiushui refined Low-Grade Silver Bones.]
"???"
Chen Shi rubbed his eyes, momentarily thinking the simulator was broken.
What did he see?
Two months!
Lin Qiushui refined Silver Bones in two months?!
What Child of Fortune.
In front of her, they all pale in comparison!
[On August 14th, Song Fan returned from his training, proudly displaying his High-Grade Silver Bones strength to you.]
[Seeing this, you were firm in your strategy to let the Child of Fortune roam free.]
[Because according to the original history, Song Fan won the Alpha Battalion Tournament, entered the Song Family Spirit Pool for cultivation, and only reached Mid-Grade Silver Bones. This time, due to his training, he directly reached High-Grade Silver Bones. When he enters the Spirit Pool for cultivation, he might be just a step away from Golden Bones.]
[You smiled and asked him what opportunities he had encountered in the past few months.]
[Song Fan confided everything to you.]
[For example, after leaving the Divine General's Manor, he joined the Wang Family Escort Agency in Liangzhou City with the strength of a Skin Refining Stage warrior. Shortly after, he was commissioned to escort a caravan to Blackwind Forest to procure animal hides. Midway, they encountered bandits, and he slaughtered them, wiping out the bandit lair, where he accidentally discovered a Profound Grade Storage Ring containing a large number of spirit herbs...]
[Later, he secretly cultivated to Low-Grade Bronze Bones, arrived at Yunhu City in Liang Prefecture, and while swimming in Yunhu, discovered several pieces of Spirit Marrow. After absorbing the Spirit Marrow, he successfully refined Low-Grade Silver Bones.]
[Then, in the Treasure Gathering Pavilion of Yunmeng City, he found an unnoticed scroll, unexpectedly discovering that the scroll was not simple. It marked a secret realm, the ruins of a top power from a hundred thousand years ago. He braved numerous dangers, entered the outskirts of the secret realm, and harvested over a hundred Profound Grade Spirit Artifacts and several Earth Grade Treasure Artifacts, successfully refining High-Grade Silver Bones...]
This made Chen Shi envious.
Even Innate Realm Experts rarely have a single Profound Grade Spirit Artifact, yet Song Fan had over a hundred, and even the legendary Earth Grade Treasure Artifacts.
Moreover, he noticed that Song Fan hadn't ventured deep into the secret realm, only exploring the outskirts.
If he went deeper, wouldn't he be in for a heavenly treat?
But to be fair, Song Fan was quite bold. Such a great opportunity, and he was willing to tell him about it, still too young.
Chen Shi sighed inwardly.
He silently noted the scroll from the Treasure Gathering Pavilion in Yunmeng City.
[Under your hints and moral coercion, Song Fan reluctantly gave you a Mid-Quality Earth Grade Storage Ring.]
[You opened it and were overjoyed.]
[Inside, there were over a hundred Profound Grade Spirit Herbs and several almost extinct Earth Grade Spirit Herbs.]
[On August 16th, under your recommendation, Song Fan entered the Alpha Battalion and defeated Nangong Wan in one move. He then swept through Squad One of the Alpha Battalion, rising to fourth place. The three above him were Song Chengming, Song Qingwei, and Song Chengying.]
[On August 17th, Nangong Wan came to the Yun Residence to serve as your personal maid, but you didn't let her serve you personally, only having her serve tea, pour water, and occasionally massage your feet.]
[During this time, Nangong Xuan came again to plead.]
[Nangong Wan told her father to leave, stating she was willing to accept her loss.]
[Later, Nangong Xuan found an opportunity to chat with Lin Qiushui for a long time. During this process, you vaguely felt that his motives were impure, seemingly another scoundrel...]
