8 Chapter 8 Xu Yan Bone Refining (Seeking Favorites, Follow up Readings)_1
Translator: 549690339
The horizon began to glow white as a ray of the morning sun shone through the narrow passage of the village, illuminating Xu Yan, who was in the midst of his cultivation.
As always, Xu Yan had risen before the break of dawn to practice cultivation. His heart was filled with excitement at this moment. As his vital energy circulated, his skin tightened at one point, producing a cracking sound, similar to a guitar string being rapidly tightened, resounding sharply.
His skin seemed seamless and round in that instant.
His power had grown stronger, and his vital energy had ascended instantaneously.
His Skin Refinement was completed!
βTwenty days! It took me twenty days to finally complete skin refinement. Though I am far from the prodigies of the past, I am now among the ranks of the prodigies!β he thought.
βOnce I refine the Golden Bone, I wonβt be inferior to the prodigies of the past!β
With overwhelming excitement, Xu Yan lifted his hands and clenched his fists, feeling an immense power radiating from within.
Even when unarmed, he was virtually fearless against swords!
He could now easily take on hundreds of adversaries single-handedly!
Yet, this is merely the result of completing the Skin Refinement, which is the most basic stage of the foundational realm!
βIβll settle down today and start Bone Refinement tomorrow!β
Xu Yan finished his cultivation practice, picked up a hoe, went to plant vegetables, and feed the chickens. He relaxed the spirit, preparing for the Bone Refinement tomorrow.
He remembered his Masterβs teachings, to combine work with rest, and to keep calm!
After waking up and freshening up, Li Xuan left his house only to find, to his surprise, that Xu Yan wasnβt practicing cultivation!
For the first time since he was accepted as a disciple, Xu Yan wasnβt practicing cultivation early in the morning!
βWhatβs going on? Did he give up?β
βImpossible! Just yesterday, he was still practicing diligently. Did he suddenly give up?β
Li Xuanβs understanding of Xu Yan over the past few days suggested that Xu Yan was a man of singular focus and not very bright, so itβs unlikely he would just give up abruptly.
Li Xuan went to check on the chicken coop, where the chickens had just been fed, and saw Xu Yan weeding in the vegetable garden from a distance.
So, he walked over.
βMaster!β Xu Yan greeted respectfully.
βHmmβ¦not bad. You are calm and composed and have managed to keep the vegetable garden neat and orderlyβ¦β Li Xuan glanced at the vegetable garden, somewhat surprised to find all weeds gone and vegetables growing well, even better than when he was tending it himself!
βItβs all thanks to Masterβs excellent guidance.β π»π³β―β―π€β―π£ππ°πβ―π.ππ°π
βWhy did you decide to come weed the vegetable garden so early this morning?β
Li Xuan came to inquire why Xu Yan wasnβt practicing cultivation that morning.
From what he observed so far, Xu Yan didnβt seem like heβd given up.
βFollowing Masterβs teaching about balancing work and rest, I am settling down, preparing for strenuous training ahead.β Xu Yan responded respectfully.
Li Xuan heaved a sigh of relief. Indeed, Xu Yan had not given up but was simply calming himself before resuming practice and intuiting the flow of energy.
A person of such singular focus wouldnβt easily give up.
Li Xuan then left with a satisfied smile on his face, βI am reassured to see your profound understandingβ.
Xu Yan was extraordinarily ecstatic. He secretly thought, βIndeed, it was the right choice. After completing the Skin Refinement, not rushing straight into Bone Refinement but to give the mind and spirit a break proves it as the correct path in cultivation!β
βMaintain a good mindset, neither proud nor impatient, and success will certainly follow!β
Li Xuan encouraged before he left.
He made a round in the village. Ever since the death of the last elder in the village, the houses in the village had become dilapidated.
Several houses had been converted into chicken coops by him, and the rest had been overrun with weeds.
βHow did Xu Yan get through the Evil Forest? Was it due to sheer luck, narrowly avoiding the ferocious beasts?β
βI canβt always be trapped in the village, there has to be a way. The breakthrough is with Xu Yanβ¦β
Li Xuan pondered deeply in his heart.
βAs a transmigrator, itβs really pathetic that I canβt even leave the beginnerβs village!β
Li Xuan lamented.
β¦
The next day.
Before dawn, Xu Yan had already got up to practice.
βThe vital energy permeates the bones, polishing themβ¦Although this is slightly different than skin refinement, the principles are similar. My goal is to obtain golden bones, only by doing that can I rival the prodigies of old.β
Xu Yanβs gaze was resolute.
βAlthough Master doesnβt articulate this, he surely hopes that I can forge the golden bones. Only by rivalling those prodigies of old can I be worthy of being his successor!β
βAs for jade bones, Master says that it canβt be achieved by sheer persistence or talent aloneβ¦Iβll do my best. If I can form jade bones, I will inevitably surpass those prodigies of old!β
The challenge of creating jade bones is too high, and it canβt be achieved through talent or perseverance alone, so Xu Yanβs primary goal is to create golden bones!
Xu Yan circulates his vital energy, which begins to slowly seep into his bones. At a certain moment, it feels like his whole skeleton is being nibbled at by ants, itβs itchy and uncomfortable! freewebno vel.com
βThe vital energy has seeped into my bones and is in the process of refining them. I didnβt expect this feeling!β
Xu Yan gritted his teeth and persisted.
βNo wonder Master said that to form golden bones requires a combination of talent, persistence, and determination. Just the beginning of bone refinement is this difficult, itβs clear that once I reach the stage of golden bones and the energy seeps into the marrow, the feeling will be even more unbearable!β
With his whole skeleton feeling itchy as if ants were crawling all over, sweat started appearing on Xu Yanβs forehead. Despite this, he gritted his teeth and persisted, his gaze firm. He will persevere no matter how unbearable it is.
Fortunately, as the vital energy continued to seep in, after enduring the initial stage, the itchy feeling and sensation of ants crawling reduced.
What followed was a sense of his bones being tempered. It was similar to skin tempering but much more difficult.
The process of vital energy seeping into the bones for tempering was extremely slow. It remained on the surface of the bones and couldnβt penetrate deeper.
At this moment, Xu Yan realised that the difficulty of bone refinement was far beyond his imagination.
No wonder there were so few who could form golden bones.
Li Xuan came out of the house and instantly saw Xu Yan in the midst of his practice. He nodded, a stubborn person indeed wouldnβt give up easily.
Heβs maintaining a good attitude!
Xu Yan, from the corner of his eye, saw his Masterβs nod and his heart instantly stirred.
βMaster must be acknowledging that Iβve endured the pain of bone refinement and persevered!β
βI must persist! Persist! No matter how great the pain, I must persist and never give up!β
Xu Yan encouraged himself in his heart.
He continues to temper his bones. As more and more vital energy seeps in, covering his bones and constantly refining them, the feeling of ants crawling disappears.
But, a sensation similar to the friction of sand appeared.
Sweat appeared on Xu Yanβs forehead but he clenched his teeth, keeping quiet and continued with the tempering.
He didnβt know how much time had passed, but the sensation of sand grinding his bones grew stronger. Xu Yan felt that he was nearing his limit.
Sweat dripped constantly from his forehead.
Li Xuan, who was lying in a chair under the tree, looked at the time and then at Xu Yan.
βItβs almost time for lunch, whatβs with my disciple today? Has he forgotten about time? He should be cooking by now!β
So Li Xuan voiced out: βAll right, go and cook. Itβs late!β
At his words, Xu Yan was instantly startled, he began to cease his exercise and the sensation of sand rubbing against his bones gradually disappeared.
At that moment, he felt extremely touched, βMaster must have figured out that Iβve reached my limit, so he told me to take a break.β
βYes, Master!β
Respectfully, Xu Yan ended his exercise.
