6 Chapter 6: Spurious Fabrication of Bone-refinement Ranks_1
Translator: 549690339
āThe method of bone refinement has its particulars, it varies in stagesā¦ā
Even though Xu Yanās question about bone refinement was unexpected, Li Xuan remained composed.
Having been an online novelist in his past life, he was good at making up stories. These days, consuming chicken soup stewed with Nine Leaves Yuan Mushroom had enhanced his memory and sharpened his mind, so he quickly figured out how to fabricate an explanation.
āToday, your master will explain in detail the knowledge about bone refinement.ā
āBone refinement is an extremely important foundation, it cannot be treated lightly. It determines the strength of your martial arts. If the bone isnāt strong, the body canāt be strongā¦ā
Li Xuanās mind spun rapidly as he began weaving tales in an orderly manner.
His theories fascinated Xu Yan who was nodding frequently, sometimes appearing as though heās having sudden realizations.
āSo bone refinement has so many considerations. Luckily, my master often instructs me to be calm and patient, otherwise I would rush to refine my bones without understanding its principles. Wouldnāt that ruin my martial arts future?ā
Xu Yan sighed inwardly.
āIndeed, I must heed my Masterās teachings. I must not be impatient, but calm and insightful!ā
The more he listened, the more he realized the depth of the bone refining stage, and once the bone refinement was complete, his strength would surely increase several times over.
āIām close to mastering skin refinement. After completing it, I must calm down and carefully contemplate the path of bone refinement before I start. I mustnāt rush!ā
Xu Yan made up his mind.
Li Xuan concocted a story while watching Xu Yanās expressions. Seeing his disciple attentive and serious, he nodded with satisfaction and said, āMy child, remember, just because you start training slowly doesnāt mean your training will always be slow.ā
āJust like building a tower, the foundation is extremely important. If the foundation isnāt solid, it isnāt steady, it canāt withstand wind and rain, and itās easy for it to collapse. Itās the same with cultivation. Pursuing speed in the early stages might limit your potential and hinder your martial arts progress.ā
āMany in the past have rushed their initial training, appearing gifted, but later on, with weak foundations, they progress slowly, sometimes even reaching their limits, unable to advance further.ā
Li Xuan shared these words to comfort Xu Yan, even though he hadnāt sensed qi and blood yet, he neednāt pursue speed in the foundational stage, ensuring a solid foundation was the key.
However, when Xu Yan heard this, it invigorated him. He thought to himself, āMaster is warning me. Although my training speed doesnāt compare to the gifted individuals of the past, as long as I have a solid foundation, I will surely surpass them in the end!ā freewebnov el.com
āMy Master has high hopes for me, I canāt let him down!ā
āI must lay a solid foundation and surpass those legendary individuals!ā
Xu Yan felt an overwhelming wave of gratitude and said respectfully, āMaster, donāt worry. I will remember your teachings, be patient, lay a firm foundation, and will not let you down!ā
Li Xuan nodded with satisfaction, saying, āIām relieved to know that you understand my intentions.ā
He sighed inwardly: āFinally, Iāve managed to fool him again. Even if it takes him a month, or two months to feel the qi and blood, he should be able to stay calm right? Besides, having consumed the chicken soup stewed with Nine Leaves Yuan Mushroom, Iāve grown stronger and his body should be getting stronger as well. He must think that itās due to his training.ā
āHowever, deceiving someone can only last for so long, especially when it comes to cultivation. Xu Yan may be a bit slow to the uptake, so I should come up with an exit strategy. This guy has a powerful background.ā
Having steadied Xu Yanās mentality, the rest is easy. He just needs to let him continue his training.
Thereās still plenty of time for that one-year deadline.
āMaster, you mentioned bone refinement has stages, could you explain this?ā
Xu Yan asked respectfully.
āYes, indeed, bone refinement has different stages.ā
Li Xuan paused, nearly forgetting that he had to construct the stages of bone refinement.
āIf I make the difficulty for refining bone high, Xu Yan hasnāt even sensed his qi and blood and couldnāt even do skin refinement, the more difficult bone refinement would be even more of a stretch.
āOnce he canāt cultivate successfully for a long time, he will acknowledge the difficulties and think his talent isnāt enough, he would then suggest leaving and feels guilty for the masterās wasted efforts in training himā¦
āIf I give him another chance, like allowing his children to enter, and let him see a glimmer of hope, even if he canāt cultivate himself, let his children cultivate insteadā¦ ššš®š®šš®šššøšæš®š.š¬š¤š¢
āThis way, the chances of being exposed become even smaller, I can also earn a bonus from his future childrenās initiation ceremoniesā¦ā
He had already deceived him once, so he doesnāt mind doing it a second time.
Li Xuan decided that once everything was over, he would escape this small mountain village and hide in Wu Country. This way, the chances of running into Xu Yan again would be minuscule.
With Xu Yanās initiation ceremony gift, he could live a better life in Wu Country.
He composed himself, putting on a serious expression and said, āThe path of Bone refinement comprises four stages: refining the bone to Iron, refining the bone to Bronze, refining the bone to Gold, and refining the bone to Jadeā¦ā
Xu Yan, looking excited, asked, āIron Bone, Bronze Bone, Gold Bone, Jade Bone, are these the four stages of bone refinement?ā
Li Xuan shook his head and answered, āNo! These are the four bone refinement stages that represent the potential limits of martial arts and the individualās strength.ā
āIron Bone is the most common stage of bone refinement for martial artists. Qi and blood temper the bones to be hard as iron, resistant to ordinary sword strikes. Of course, Iron Bone is just ordinary, the potential for martial arts isnāt high.ā
āBronze Bone is stronger than Iron Bone, and its bones are like bronze. Even after death, it wonāt decay for a thousand years. Once Bronze Bone is cultivated, the foundation is deep, and martial arts potential is higher, it is considered above average.ā
āOnly upon reaching the Gold Bone stage, are you considered truly outstanding!ā
Li Xuan became solemn, āAll the legendaries of the past, without exception, have reached the Gold Bone stage!ā
Xu Yanās excitement reached a peak, his eyes gleaming as he asked, āMaster, how can one cultivate to the Gold Bone stage?ā
Seeing Xu Yanās enthusiastic expression, Li Xuan was a bit speechless. This fool, did he really think he could cultivate to the Gold Bone stage?
This is just something I made up!
So, he said seriously, āBe patient, donāt rush!ā
āYes, Master!ā
Xu Yan quickly reined in his enthusiasm and sat up straight.
āOnce Gold Bone is achieved, even after death and burial for ten thousand years, it remains golden with hardness surpassing steel. But among the prodigies, only one in ten thousand can achieve Gold Bone.ā
Li Xuan spoke with a heavy tone, āWhen I said one in ten thousand, I was referring to one among many prodigies.ā
āMaster, are there also different ranks among prodigies?ā
Xu Yan asked curiously.
āOf course!ā
Li Xuan nodded, āItās the same as with beautiful women. Even if theyāre considered beautiful, thereās still a difference in levels. Itās the same with prodigies!ā
Xu Yan comprehended, āI see, just like the top showgirls in Chunxiang Building in the Eastern River County, while they are all considered beautiful, the Oiran is even more beautiful!ā
Li Xuan gave him a strange look, inwardly cursing him, as expected of a rich young man, heās been to a few shady places! I want to go too!
āMaster, as your disciple, I was just making a comparison, I havenāt been there!ā
Upon noticing Li Xuanās strange look, Xu Yan immediately explained embarrassedly.
