As for the remaining advanced methods that require strict conditions, leave them to the attribute panel.
After combing his hair, Xu Yunfan ate the hot barbecued meat in one gulp and immediately began to practice the Tianchan Body Refining Technique.
The blood in the body suddenly rushed into his limbs and bones like boiling water, flowing endlessly through his skin and flesh.
Walnut-sized tumors suddenly appeared on the skin, and twelve blood lines spread along the texture of the pectoralis major muscle.
The pores all over his body exploded with a stinging pain like needles. The blood threads that were moving and wriggling on the skin and were formed by the Tianchan Jin suddenly twisted into a net and tightly attached to the fascia.
He suddenly struck the strange pose engraved on the iron sheet, his right arm folded back against his spine, his left leg bent like a cinnabar. With the sound of joints cracking, the trapezius muscles on his back expanded at a visible speed, tearing the worn martial arts uniform to pieces.
By the time the dawn broke, Xu Yunfan had already put out the bonfire and was staring at the information that popped up in his vision.
'Tianchan Body Refining Technique, 0\500 (Entry Level)
Special effects: Thunderbolt Tempering Body, Golden Cicada Vibrating Bones
After mastering this secret martial art, the body's ability to withstand attacks increased by at least three levels, and the instantaneous burst of power also increased by three levels.
It's already quite amazing.
Apart from the fact that he still lacked the ability to achieve perfect muscles, bones and skin, he felt that he had already reached the pinnacle of the third-level martial artist realm. He was even confident that he could defeat a great martial artist of the outer three levels.
A few days later, when the morning light dyed the eastern mountain ridges white, Xu Yunfan, who had been traveling day and night for several days, had been traveling for three days on the loess road on the border of Cangzhou.
He deliberately avoided the official road post station and went all the way into the deep mountains and old forests. The broken golden hammer in his saddlebag hit his waist with every step, and the fine steel hammer head shone coldly in the morning sun.
In Jieyang, the nearest city to Cangzhou, Xu Yunfan asked passers-by and headed straight to the most famous weapons shop in the city.
"Shopkeeper, are you willing to accept any heavy weapons work?"
In the blacksmith shop at the north gate of Jieyang, Cangzhou, a shirtless craftsman stared at the jagged broken hammer handle, and his black fingers scraped the hammer surface, making a harsh sound.
"Fine steel mixed with black iron sand is good material."
He bent his finger and flicked it towards the concave part of the hammer head, making a 'dong dong' sound.
"But the hammer bone is brittle. Reforging it by melting it and mixing it with new materials is not as good as forging a new one."
After hearing this, Xu Yunfan paused for a moment and asked, "I wonder if this shop can forge weapons of the sharp blade level?"
The blacksmith shook his head, a little embarrassed, and said, "A sharp blade-level weapon can only be forged by famous masters. I am not as good as them, so I can only make a living in Jieyang City."
"Does the shop owner know where I can get a forge?"
The blacksmith said, "Qingzhou's Bailian Villa, Shenbingling at the border of Qingzhou and Wuzhou..."
"There must be skilled craftsmen in Cangzhou, right?"
Xu Yunfan was speechless. He had been to both places. Bailian Villa refused him entry, fearing that he was going to steal the family business. Shenbing Ridge became Shenbing Valley, and the tradition of weapon forging was cut off. Now it really became a low-rate sect that made a living by forging some ironware.
The blacksmith wiped the sweat from his neck and pointed the pliers to the northwest.
"After arriving at Cangzhou's capital, Cuibo City, and heading eighty miles towards Guniu Mountain, there's a sect called Tiangong Cave. They have many skilled artisans, experts who specialize in this art. It's said they've produced many razor-sharp weapons. Take, for example, Xie Huaian, the number one martial artist in Cangzhou. His three-foot-long blade is so sharp it can cut through hair."
"Is Tiangong Cave good at training heavy troops?"
"More than just heavy troops."
The blacksmith washed his hands in the water tank.
"They have three rules for not forging goods: only steel that has been tempered a hundred times, only rare metal or iron, and only..."
He suddenly lowered his voice, "Only veterans who have drunk blood can forge this hammer. I think your hammer is full of murderous aura, and there are still blood scabs on it. Take it to them, they should like it."
He walked out of the blacksmith shop carrying a broken steel hammer, looked up at the blue sky, and let out a sigh for no reason.
He had to settle down in Cangzhou City. This place was too small and lacked many things needed to practice martial arts. When he finally found the flesh and blood of a strange beast, it was snatched away by others. It was impossible for an outsider like him to eat it.
The most important thing is that this place is too close to Wuzhou. The entire Wuzhou is in chaos. There are the Xianghuo Sect's Demon-Slaying Heavenly Army, a total of fourteen sects in the Five Ridges and Seven Mountains, a hundred thousand Tiger and Black Armor Army, and the local Wuzhou Army.
Can those people survive in such an environment?
Clearing his mind of all distracting thoughts, Xu Yunfan walked around the city of Jieyang and looked for a few horse sellers. However, most of the horses for sale were ordinary horses, and there was not even a single horse with the blood of exotic beasts.
The groom said, "Sir, if you want to buy a horse with dragon bloodline, you can ask the Chi family. They just came from Qingzhou. Wuzhou is in chaos now, so they can take a detour from Wuzhou to Yinzhou. They sell everything, so maybe they have what you need."
Xu Yunfan's expression changed slightly. He glanced at the groom and took out a piece of silver the size of a fingernail from his pocket and threw it over.
"Thanks for letting me know."
The groom, who received the silver, immediately beamed with joy and said cheerfully, "Sir, please go as soon as possible. I heard they will set off early tomorrow morning."
Upon hearing this, Xu Yunfan no longer hesitated and immediately hurried towards the inn in the south corner of the city.
Chiwen Inn.
Looking at the large characters on the plaque above the inn, Xu Yunfan raised his eyebrows. After entering the inn, he found the innkeeper and asked about the Chi family caravan.
When I heard that he was here to buy something, I saw Xu Yunfan's tall and strong figure, with a broken hammer on his waist and a steel box on his back.
He must be a powerful warrior.
The shopkeeper did not dare to delay and quickly went to the backyard of the inn to report.
Bored, Xu Yunfan, who was leaning against the counter, knocked on it with his knuckles when the curtain in the back hall suddenly parted.
A woman in green clothes was walking towards him in small steps, looking at Xu Yunfan with a smile. When she saw Xu Yunfan's appearance, she was slightly stunned.
Xu Yunfan raised his eyebrows, he remembered this woman.
Back then, in the Deadwood Forest outside Beiye City, this woman was sitting in a carriage, quietly watching Chi Suwen fighting with Uncle Jin and Fengzi.
"You want to buy a horse?"
Before Xu Yunfan could speak, a slightly calm voice came from the backyard.
"Such a strong evil spirit."
The gray-robed man flashed out from the shadow of the beam, and the copper ball in his palm spun as fast as a meteor.
He stared at Xu Yunfan, most of his attention was on the heavy hammer at Xu Yunfan's waist that was broken into two pieces. Sweat broke out on his forehead unconsciously, and his expression was extremely solemn.
The gray-robed man originally thought that Xu Yunfan was only a third-level martial artist, but now he felt the fierce blood energy hidden in his body, like a dormant ferocious beast, which frightened him.
Xu Yunfan's eyes also flickered slightly. This man was about fifty years old. He moved with the gait of a dragon and a tiger. He was full of blood and energy, and had a solid physique. His every move was smooth and powerful.
The hands and feet are like a dragon twisting a steel cable, the shoulders and hips are like a tiger crouching on a rock, and there is a sound of wind and thunder where the elbows and knees meet.
Xu Yunfan narrowed his eyes.
This person's spine is like a coiled dragon ascending to heaven. When he walks, the vibration frequency of his patella is perfectly matched with his heartbeat. It is clear that he has reached the pinnacle of refining skin into armor, forging bones into jade, and training tendons like ropes.
A great martial artist with mastery of the three external elements, muscles, bones and skin.
