MTL NOVEL Chapter 40 - 40 40 Cultivating Iron Bone
Chapter 40: Chapter 40 Cultivating Iron Bone Chapter 40: Chapter 40 Cultivating Iron Bone Tempering!
Full-force tempering!
Gu Qingfeng mobilized his blood and energy, frantically absorbing the medicinal power from the medicine bath and the medicine soup, then he channeled the Fierce Sun Palm Force to gradually temper his bones.
Under the self-tempering of the Fierce Sun Palm Force, parts of Gu Qingfeng’s bones had already been successfully tempered; now what he needed to do was to complete the tempering of the remaining bones.
However—
Midway through the bone tempering process, Gu Qingfeng stopped.
It wasn’t that he wanted to stop.
It was because his body had reached its limit, and at the same time, the power of the medicine soup was completely depleted.
Breakthrough to the Bone Refining Realm.
It wasn’t achieved in one breath.
Any martial artist entering the Bone Refining Realm needed a lengthy period to grind away, slowly completing the tempering of the bones.
After emerging from the tub, Gu Qingfeng glanced at the medicine bath which had turned somewhat dark brown.

He donned his robe and went outside to continue practicing his swordsmanship.

The long sword unsheathed.
The sword light was piercingly cold.
During the swordplay, traces of sword qi rampaged through the air, leaving behind lingering white streaks.
“Boom—”
The sword qi rolled like thunder, gathering into one sword in the sky and exploding with a captivating blast.
Thus.
Heavenly Thunder Sword Skills beginner!
“This middle-grade martial arts, I’ve finally made it to the beginner level!”
A faint smile appeared on Gu Qingfeng’s face.
He had acquired the Heavenly Thunder Sword Skills for several months now, but he had always been one step short, never truly entering the beginner stage.
This time, the breakthrough in one go was quite satisfactory.
Heavenly Thunder Sword Skills beginner.
He had begun to truly grasp the mysteries of this middle-grade martial arts.
At the same time.
The Iron Leg Skill also stepped into the Great Achievement Realm.
In response.
Gu Qingfeng used some Upgrade Points to directly raise the Iron Leg Skill to Perfection.
The moment Iron Leg Skill reached Perfection, he felt the muscles and skin of his legs tighten, transforming into something akin to refined iron; his blood and energy also slightly strengthened, though the change wasn’t too significant.
“It seems that general low-grade martial arts are no longer very useful to me.
Only when low-grade martial arts reach Perfection can they bring some enhancement.
But even so, the enhancement is limited!”
Gu Qingfeng understood that his current realm was too high.
The changes brought by low-grade martial arts were considerably limited.
Of course.
If a martial art reached Perfection, it still had some effect.
If it were just one martial art, perhaps one wouldn’t see much, but if it were ten or a hundred martial arts accumulated, Gu Qingfeng believed that his strength could definitely reach a terrifying level.
By that time.
Even without a breakthrough in the Bone Refining Realm, he estimated he could still hold a Bone Refining Realm martial artist to the ground and rub him rough.
Of course.
To truly reach that degree was not the work of a day.
With so many Upgrade Points, why shouldn’t Gu Qingfeng use them to break through the limitations of martial arts, and why bother accumulating these low-grade martial arts.
It was only like now, when the remaining Upgrade Points were not of much use, that Gu Qingfeng would use them to elevate Iron Leg Skill, allowing this Great Achievement martial art to directly achieve Perfection.
…
In the following days.
Gu Qingfeng mostly focused on tempering his body and speeding up the breakthrough into the Bone Refining Realm.
In the blink of an eye.
A month had passed.
On this day.
Gu Qingfeng turned thirty-six years old.
On the same day.
He, who had been trapped in the half-step Bone Refining Realm for a long time, finally achieved a breakthrough.
“Boom—”
All 365 bones in his body were tempered to Perfection, an extremely powerful force revived within his body, giving Gu Qingfeng the illusion that he could kill a half-step Bone Refining opponent with one punch.
No—
This was not an illusion!
All 365 bones tempered to Perfection, as if breaking the shackles of limits, Gu Qingfeng’s whole person was elevated a lot, his strength compared to before the breakthrough had soared more than just double.
If he were to face himself before his breakthrough, Gu Qingfeng was confident he could end the fight within three moves.
If it was against a typical half-step Bone Refining Realm fighter, it might just be one punch per opponent.
——
“Boom—”
A punch was thrown, and the rockery collapsed.
Then he grabbed a stone, slightly exerted force with his fingers, and the stone turned into powder and dispersed.
“This is the power of the Bone Refining Realm!”
“It seems I underestimated the strength of this realm before!”
Gu Qingfeng smiled faintly.
Before he had broken through to the Bone Refining Realm, Gu Qingfeng didn’t have much of a firsthand understanding of this realm.
Until this moment.
He truly witnessed the power of the Bone Refining Realm.
That punch just now.
Gu Qingfeng had used only a fraction of his strength, but it was enough to split mountains and shatter rocks, a truly terrifying power.
Afterwards.
Gu Qingfeng looked at his attribute panel.
——

“Initial Stage of Bone Refining!”
“One hundred fifty years of lifespan!”
Light flashed in Gu Qingfeng’s eyes.
The lifespan of a Martial Artist in the Blood Refining Realm was only about a hundred years, but after breaking through to the Bone Refining Realm, it skyrocketed directly to one hundred fifty years.
Fifty years of lifespan.
That was no minor matter.
And as one’s cultivation grew deeper and deeper, the lifespan might even increase further.
Given that.
If one day he really were to reach higher levels, perhaps it was indeed possible to achieve eternal life in Martial Arts.
“Martial Arts eternal life!”
“With my advantages, it’s not unlikely that I could achieve eternal life in Martial Arts one day!”
The words eternal life stirred waves in Gu Qingfeng’s usually calm heart.
No one could resist the temptation of eternal life.
But for ordinary people to attain eternal life through Martial Arts was no easy feat, yet Gu Qingfeng had his own advantages and perhaps really possessed the potential to reach that realm one day.
Afterwards.
Gu Qingfeng quickly calmed down.
Eternal life in Martial Arts, that was too far away from him.
Right now, he had only just broken through to the Bone Refining Realm.
The Martial World was vast.
Being strong in the Bone Refining Realm didn’t necessarily mean much.
Of course.
If it were on the White Stone Dao, then the Bone Refining Realm would be considered among the strongest.
——
The next day.
Gu Qingfeng arrived at the Cloud Pavilion.
Given the Gu Family’s reputation, the steward of the Cloud Pavilion naturally came out to greet him immediately.
In the chamber.
A maid served tea.
The steward from the Cloud Pavilion who came out this time wasn’t Ji Ping but another woman, who was graceful and dignified, with every smile and frown brimming with charm.
“My name is Chai Hong, steward of the Cloud Pavilion.
May I know if there is anything specific the Gu Family Head needs today!”
“I heard that the Cloud Pavilion’s business is thriving, so I came here to inquire if you have any superior Martial Arts available.
If so, I would be interested in purchasing!”
Gu Qingfeng wasn’t swayed by the beauty of Chai Hong before him; her appearance barely stirred him as he got straight to the point, stating his purpose for the visit.
