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!
โTwenty 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!โ he thought.
โOnce I refine the Golden Bone, I wonโt be inferior to the prodigies of the past!โ
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!
โIโll settle down today and start Bone Refinement tomorrow!โ
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 Masterโs 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 wasnโt practicing cultivation!
For the first time since he was accepted as a disciple, Xu Yan wasnโt practicing cultivation early in the morning!
โWhatโs going on? Did he give up?โ
โImpossible! Just yesterday, he was still practicing diligently. Did he suddenly give up?โ
Li Xuanโs understanding of Xu Yan over the past few days suggested that Xu Yan was a man of singular focus and not very bright, so itโs 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.
โMaster!โ Xu Yan greeted respectfully.
โHmmโฆnot bad. You are calm and composed and have managed to keep the vegetable garden neat and orderlyโฆโ 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!
โItโs all thanks to Masterโs excellent guidance.โ ๐ป๐ณโฏโฏ๐คโฏ๐ฃ๐๐ฐ๐โฏ๐ญ.๐๐ฐ๐
โWhy did you decide to come weed the vegetable garden so early this morning?โ
Li Xuan came to inquire why Xu Yan wasnโt practicing cultivation that morning.
From what he observed so far, Xu Yan didnโt seem like heโd given up.
โFollowing Masterโs teaching about balancing work and rest, I am settling down, preparing for strenuous training ahead.โ 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 wouldnโt easily give up.
Li Xuan then left with a satisfied smile on his face, โI am reassured to see your profound understandingโ.
Xu Yan was extraordinarily ecstatic. He secretly thought, โIndeed, 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!โ
โMaintain a good mindset, neither proud nor impatient, and success will certainly follow!โ
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.
โHow did Xu Yan get through the Evil Forest? Was it due to sheer luck, narrowly avoiding the ferocious beasts?โ
โI canโt always be trapped in the village, there has to be a way. The breakthrough is with Xu Yanโฆโ
Li Xuan pondered deeply in his heart.
โAs a transmigrator, itโs really pathetic that I canโt even leave the beginnerโs village!โ
Li Xuan lamented.

The next day.
Before dawn, Xu Yan had already got up to practice.
โThe vital energy permeates the bones, polishing themโฆAlthough 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.โ
Xu Yanโs gaze was resolute.
โAlthough Master doesnโt 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!โ
โAs for jade bones, Master says that it canโt be achieved by sheer persistence or talent aloneโฆIโll do my best. If I can form jade bones, I will inevitably surpass those prodigies of old!โ
The challenge of creating jade bones is too high, and it canโt be achieved through talent or perseverance alone, so Xu Yanโs 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, itโs itchy and uncomfortable! freewebno vel.com
โThe vital energy has seeped into my bones and is in the process of refining them. I didnโt expect this feeling!โ
Xu Yan gritted his teeth and persisted.
โNo 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, itโs clear that once I reach the stage of golden bones and the energy seeps into the marrow, the feeling will be even more unbearable!โ
With his whole skeleton feeling itchy as if ants were crawling all over, sweat started appearing on Xu Yanโs 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 couldnโt 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 wouldnโt give up easily.
Heโs maintaining a good attitude!
Xu Yan, from the corner of his eye, saw his Masterโs nod and his heart instantly stirred.
โMaster must be acknowledging that Iโve endured the pain of bone refinement and persevered!โ
โI must persist! Persist! No matter how great the pain, I must persist and never give up!โ
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 Yanโs forehead but he clenched his teeth, keeping quiet and continued with the tempering.
He didnโt 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.
โItโs almost time for lunch, whatโs with my disciple today? Has he forgotten about time? He should be cooking by now!โ
So Li Xuan voiced out: โAll right, go and cook. Itโs late!โ
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, โMaster must have figured out that Iโve reached my limit, so he told me to take a break.โ
โYes, Master!โ
Respectfully, Xu Yan ended his exercise.
