Chapter 80 Bone Refining
All dead.
All the second-year students at the Yanshen Stone Mine were slaughtered.
Before their deaths, they suffered repeated torture and humiliation.
The number of second-grade students is not as large as that of first-grade students this year, but there are still more than 600 to 700 students.
But at this moment, not one of them survived.
Li Songtao came to Qinzhou with the ambition to make a name for himself.
However, the tragic death of his student and the theft of the Divine Stone Mine caused his ten years of hard work to vanish like smoke.
If it were just a loss of property, that would be one thing.
Those students, Li Songtao and the teachers of the academy watched them grow up day by day.
He transformed from a naive, arrogant, reserved, and self-conscious teenager into a capable elite.
But now, they're all dead.
Not even a messenger was left alive.
This note was left at the entrance of the academy early in the morning.
Along with it, there was also a wooden box.
The box contained more than 600 left ears, the left ears of those second-year students.
"kill!"
Li Songtao suddenly shot into the sky.
"All teachers, come with me to Luhua County. I, Li Songtao, will do nothing else in this life but kill all the murderers!"
"No!"
Xu Ruian was the first to offer advice.
Upon hearing this, Li Songtao turned and glared at him. "Xu Ruian, are you going to stop me? Are you in cahoots with those people? Did you tell them the location of the Divine Stone Mine?"
"Die!"
Li Songtao didn't give Xu Ruian a chance to speak at all. He pounced on him.
Xu Ruian resisted.
back.
"Li Songtao, you've gone mad!"
"The second-year students are all dead."
"But the first- and third-year students are still here."
"If you go and seek revenge now, that's what the killer wants to see."
"They won't kill you, they'll keep you alive, kill all your students, and make you grow old in pain and torment for the rest of your life."
"You won't die, but you'll experience more pain and suffering than death."
Xu Ruian's voice was like a wake-up call, instantly stunning Li Songtao, who was in a frenzied state.
His gaze cleared.
"Sigh, you're right, I shouldn't let them control me."
"Xu Ruian, thank you."
Li Songtao's words contained a hint of determination and resolve.
Nobody knows what he's planning.
Next, he became a qualified headmaster, arranging courses, organizing teachers to hunt in the mist, waiving meal and accommodation fees for first-year students, and allowing all minor merits to be exchanged for academy resources and cultivation techniques.
If the payment is insufficient, he allows for a delay, which can be made up later.
Well done.
But he no longer smiled at any of the students.
He seemed like a person without feelings; no, he became someone who dared not give his feelings.
Seven days later.
The Monkey Guard army arrived in Qinbei Prefecture aboard a flying boat.
Thirty-two thousand five hundred soldiers quickly occupied every county town and prefectural city in Qinbei Prefecture.
General Yuan Tongtian, the limit of blood transfusion.
Ten generals, all powerful warriors who have undergone blood transfusions.
One hundred and twenty lieutenant generals, the lowest level being the fourth level of refinement.
All the soldiers were at the Bone Refining level, the captains were required to refine one part of dirt at the very least, and the captains were required to refine three parts of dirt at the very least.
The arrival of such a powerful and terrifying spirit monkey guard made the sky over the entire Qinbei Prefecture clear and transparent.
Block off access to and from the fog zone.
The Three Swords Pavilions of the five nearby prefectures dispatched powerful personnel to search for hidden masters of the Three Treasures Sect.
Find one, kill one.
No trial required, no reporting required.
Half a month later, the first snow fell in Qinzhou Prefecture, and the whole prefecture was covered in silver.
Lu Lin finally raised his cultivation level to the limit of the Flesh Refining level.
"The Chinese New Year is almost here."
"Strive to enter the Bone Refinement stage before the end of the year."
Lu Lin took advantage of the break in the middle of the month to visit Mr. Hou.
For more than a month, Mr. Hou's place has become much quieter.
He no longer lies under the tree drinking tea or taking a nap.
"Mr. Hou, I'm going to refine my bones."
"So fast?" Although Mr. Hou had expected it, Lu Lin's words still made him feel that it was too fast.
I first met Lu Lin in April of this year; at that time, he was still a sparring partner at the Chen residence.
His cultivation level was poor; he had only managed to cultivate the Golden Bell Shield technique to a passable degree.
In July of this year, Lu Lin finally became a martial artist after two attempts and stepped into the realm of skin refining.
However, just one month later, less than two days after entering the academy, Lu Lin rushed into the meat-refining realm.
It's only mid-November now, and he'll be undergoing bone tempering in just three months.
This is not just fast, it's incredibly fast, beyond the ordinary.
The key point is that Lu Lin is not the kind of person who only has cultivation but no combat power.
Slay demons, fight evil cults, and kill filthy alchemists.
These records are more frightening than the last.
Forcing himself to calm down, Mr. Hou said, "Lu Lin, you should hone your skills at the Meat Refining level to improve your control over your Qi and blood."
"This is not only beneficial for bone refining, but also greatly helpful for subsequent genital refining."
"Furthermore, you should be mentally prepared. The difficulty of bone tempering is incomparable to that of skin tempering or flesh tempering."
"The skin is soft; the meat is tender; but the bones are hard!"
"Even the bones of an ordinary person are part of their toughness."
"If you want to refine your bones, you must be prepared to fail ten, fifteen, or even twenty times."
"Therefore, I hope you will not rush, give yourself enough time and confidence, and strive to break through to the Bone Refining level within ten attempts."
Lu Lin nodded. "Mr. Hou, is there anything else I should be aware of?"
Seeing Lu Lin's reaction, Mr. Hou knew that he hadn't listened to what he was saying.
That's understandable, though; he didn't want to listen to his master nagging about these things back then either.
There's always this feeling that I'm the third oldest person in the world.
But it's okay, you'll get used to it after a few setbacks.
"Nothing else, just resources. Training flesh and bones requires the most resources, and food is the most important thing."
"Pills, herbs, and demonic beasts are all sources of nourishment for you."
"Don't let a single one escape."
Lu Lin cupped his hands in greeting, "I've got it. I'll try it out when I get back."
"Well, it's worth a try. Anyway, I suggest you stay a little longer."
Lu Lin turned and left.
Back at the academy, Lu Lin took out all the resources he had accumulated over the past month.
Some were obtained through small merits, while others were purchased on the black market with silver.
The total value of the resources is approximately 20,000 taels of silver.
This is also Lu Lin's current limit.
"Advancement, Four Sacred Skills."
Lu Lin silently recited in his heart, "The final number of refinement attempts is now zero."
A powerful energy was generated from Lu Lin's body.
Qi and Blood!
If the previous flow of qi and blood was like a torrent, then now, the qi and blood surging from Lu Lin's body is like mercury.
Thick, pure, and incredibly powerful.
Powerful Qi and blood flow through the body's acupoints.
It passed through Lu Lin's skin and muscles, finally reaching the outer side of his bones.
Their hard bones, like towering mountains standing before the flood, remained unmoved despite the torrent's erosion.
"Indeed, for those who practice external martial arts, every step of the way is more difficult than for others when they want to advance."
