Two months later.
It was as if autumn had arrived. Withered trees and fallen leaves could be seen everywhere.
Bang! Bang!
Bang! A whirlpool of air was formed in the middle of the gravel.
Su Fang used his fists, arms, legs, and calves to hit the boulder with great force. It was not an ordinary force, but the force of a warrior. Every time he hit the boulder, some particles would fall from the boulder.
These particles were gravel. They were crushed by Su Fang's great force.
"I have officially stepped into the Xiantian Realm and become an ancient Body Refiner. Now that another month has passed, my body does not feel much pain. It seems that I have reached the peak of the Xiantian Realm."
Four months.
In the blink of an eye, Su Fang had been in the mountains for four months.
The first two months were like hell to him. But now, not only were his hands full of scars, but he did not feel much pain when he hit the boulder with great force. In the past four months, he had made a one-foot deep hole in the boulder, and there was a layer of fine sand and gravel on the ground below.
This was the result of his hard work in training his body.
Comparing it with the Hundred Apertures Bloodline Technique, he estimated that he had not only officially stepped into the Xiantian Realm, but also reached the peak of the Xiantian Realm.
Soon, after a period of hard work, he would be able to cultivate the Blood Qi Condensation Technique, and then condense the Blood Qi and enter the second ancient Body Refiner Realm, the Acquired Realm.
"My legs and hands are almost done. I can feel the flow of most of the blood in my body. I have to cultivate my waist. After that, I can reach the peak of the Xiantian Realm."
He stopped cultivating and began to find a way to cultivate his waist.
His waist was not easy to cultivate because it could not attack, unlike his hands and feet.
"Got it."
He began to pack his things and quickly went into the forest.
Tomb Temple
He carried pieces of tree trunks and went to the side of the stone house to build a wooden frame.
After a busy day, he finally finished building the wooden frame. It was two feet high. He then tied two pieces of tree trunks, each weighing a hundred pounds, to the wooden frame on both sides with iron chains. Then, the two pieces of logs were suspended in the air.
After thinking for a while, he used a new chain to bind the two floating logs. He stood in the middle of the two wooden frames and took off his shirt. His chest and back faced the two logs.
This time, he didn't use the Hundred Acupoints Finger Art because his physical body had already reached the Innate Realm. He could directly withstand the pain and impact brought by the physical body.
He slowly gritted his teeth and looked at the log in front of him. He pulled the chain with both hands.
Clang!
The chain trembled, and the sound of metal clashing could be heard. As the two hands pulled the chain over, the floating log slammed into his chest.
How frightening was the impact of a log weighing more than 50 kilograms?
Su Fang was forced to take a step back. There was a blood red mark as thick as a water bucket on his chest, and he almost spat out a mouthful of blood. Because of the tremendous impact, his body was heavily injured.
A single strike was already so shocking. Next, he pulled on the chain again.
The log hit his chest with great force. The log did not have any life. Su Fang held his breath and hit it back and forth ten times.
Then, he used both hands to pull on the chain behind him.
When he pulled on the chain, the log hit his back with a bang, and his back immediately became bruised.
This time, Su Fang could not bear it. Blood gushed out from the corner of his mouth.
However, he did not hesitate and continued to hit his back with the log.
After a while, he hit it ten times.
He continued to pull on the chain in front of him with both hands and started hitting his chest again.
After a few hours, he had hit it at least a hundred times. His chest and back were bruised. He knew that he could not continue like this. Otherwise, it would not be his flesh that was injured, but his internal organs.
He immediately entered the medicine vat. His body felt like it was about to fall apart. Fortunately, the temperature of the water could relieve his fatigue. He had already adapted to this kind of pain and tried his best to relax his body.
In the latter half of the night, Su Fang could no longer feel the pain. His body seemed to have lost weight, but from time to time, he would feel waves of stabbing pain.
He still fell asleep. When he woke up, he did not know whether it was noon or afternoon. He ate a good meal and continued to cultivate. He still hit his chest and back with the log.
Mortals would not be able to withstand this level of cultivation. They would probably be shaken to death after a few hits.
However, Su Fang was not a mortal. He had reached the fifth layer of Qi-eating and possessed the astonishing strength of the Fifth Layer Wave. At that time, his body had already reached the height of an ordinary adult.
In addition, a few months ago, his right hand had absorbed the strange purple light. His body had miraculously recovered its strength, and his body was able to surpass that of a mortal again.
Even so, such a heaven-defying ancient method of body cultivation was still like suffering in hell for him.
Fortunately, his condition would get better every day he persevered with this method. As long as he adapted, any pain would gradually become unimportant.
"Young Master, are you there? We are here to deliver your things according to the schedule again."
A few days later.
It was probably almost noon. Su Fang was still hitting his body with the log. Suddenly, someone shouted in the ancestral hall.
It was the coachman, who had come to deliver things as usual. After putting on his clothes, Su Fang opened the door and immediately saw three coachmen waiting in the open space.
Su Fang nodded politely. "Please put it in the main hall."
The coachman replied enthusiastically, "No problem. Young Master has always taken care of our business like this."
After putting down the things, the coachman, who was about to leave, suddenly came to Su Fang. "Young Master, do you know that your Family Su has been in trouble recently?"
"I don't know about the trouble. Please tell me in detail."
Family Su Has Been in Trouble
He had not gone down the mountain for more than a month, so he did not know about the family's situation. Moreover, the Family Su was a big family in Tianzong City. How could they cause trouble?
A dark-skinned middle-aged man immediately said, "I heard that it was because of the seedlings of your Family Su and the Wu Family who were cultivating in Tianmen Province. I heard that one of the Wu Family's seedlings was killed by your Family Su in Tianmen Province. That's why the Wu Family is asking your Family Su for an explanation."
"Then how far has the relationship between the two families developed?"
"Fire and water are incompatible. There will be friction from time to time in the territories of the two families. However, with the Lu Family overseeing the overall situation, the two families should not fight."
"That's for sure. The Wu Family's people must not die in vain!"
"The Wu Family's seedlings have died. How big of a blow is that? Naturally, they will find trouble with the Family Su!"
The other two coachmen also shouted a few times.
"Young Master, we will go down the mountain now. We will be back on time next month!" After the coachman finished speaking, the few of them entered the forest from the cemetery.
"The death of the Wu Family's seedlings is a big deal. A seedling may become the pillar of the Family Su in the future. The Wu Family will definitely not let my Family Su go. Oh no! If the Wu Family causes trouble, then my grandfather …"
Su Fang suddenly became worried about his grandfather. Without further ado, he put on a set of clean clothes, extinguished the charcoal fire on the stove, and immediately ran out of the tomb.
It only took one hour!
He returned to Tianzong City.
"As expected!"
Once he returned to the streets controlled by the Family Su, he saw people from the Family Su patrolling the streets in twos and threes. On the other side, people from the Wu Family would appear from time to time.
Judging from this situation, they were indeed incompatible. He felt that something big would happen sooner or later.
"Su Fang, why are you still running around? If you meet the Wu Family on the way and suffer a loss, no one will take care of you!"
When Su Fang returned to the Family Su's territory, he happened to meet the patrolling experts from the Family Su. They naturally recognized Su Fang and did not hold back, scolding Su Fang.
This was also for the good of Su Fang. In this situation, any insignificant friction could lead to a fight between the two families.
In the history of Tianzong City, too many families were exterminated because of this.
Medicine Shop
When Su Fang arrived at the door, he saw a few repair marks on the wall. His heart immediately hung in his throat. When he entered the medicine shop and saw that his grandfather was treating patients, he was relieved.
After the patient left, Su Fang hurriedly asked, "Grandfather, it's good that you are fine. Did the Wu Family do this?"
"In the past few days, the Wu Family suddenly came to cause trouble. Many shops along the street were smashed by them. The medicine shop was fine. They were stopped in time by your uncle and his men." Grandfather sighed as he packed up the herbs.
"Now, how are the two families going to deal with each other? I think they are at daggers drawn everywhere!"
"The Wu Family's overall strength is about the same as ours. If they really fight, both sides will suffer. Two days ago, the Wu Family wanted to ask for compensation. They seem to want one street as compensation or the deed to 500 mu of land!"
"One street and 500 mu of land! What a huge demand!"
The Family Su was a powerful family in Tianzong City.
However, they only controlled a dozen or so streets. The Wu Family wanted an entire street. They were clearly taking advantage of the situation to seize the Family Su's power.
"Fang 'er, the conflict between us and the Wu Family is not something that can be resolved in a day or two. In the future, you should stay in the cemetery and go down the mountain less. Come back when this storm is over!"
Grandfather advised him earnestly. After that, he took out a few medicine books. "These are the medical treasures that the previous generations of the Family Su painstakingly left behind. Take a look at them when you have nothing to do. Grandfather knows that you are smart and have a good memory. You also liked to deal with herbs since you were young. Go and rest!"
"Okay, I will take a good look at them!"
He did not know why.
At this moment, looking at his grandfather's wrinkled face and his kind eyes, Su Fang suddenly felt like giving up on practicing martial arts and starting to accompany his grandfather to study medicine every day.
He felt the love from his grandfather. The power of this love made him forget everything. He only wanted to accompany his grandfather.
Perhaps Su Fang had really grown up. This was the first time he felt this way.
No!
He suddenly thought of the rumors that his clansmen talked about behind his back.
Especially about his father. He could not accept that in the future, when something happened to the Family Su, big or small, his father would be blamed for it. They would blame him for losing the ancestral artifact and causing the Family Su to fall.
He also could not bear the thought of his mother, who died of depression because she missed him too much.
When he saw the cenotaph and thought that his mother was still waiting for his father's return, his heart felt like it was being stabbed by a knife.
"Grandfather, I will try to go down the mountain less in the future. I will soak in the medicine vat when I have nothing to do. I believe that my body will recover soon."
Su Fang replied.
Grandfather went to work happily. Su Fang thought that he had deceived the person who loved him the most. He felt bad and sour in his heart.
So he took some good herbs and quietly left the medicine shop.
After taking a few steps away from the medicine shop, Su Fang began to cry.
He could not stop the tears from flowing down.
He did not want to let his grandfather down. He wanted to accompany his grandfather and become a doctor in the future. He could live a good life for the rest of his life.
But he could not do this. He could not forget his mother lying alone in the coffin. When she closed her eyes, she was talking about his father.
Su Fang had never cried like this in his entire life.
The moment he left Tianzong City, he took out a dagger, stretched out his left arm, and cut three wounds on his forearm.
Blood gushed out.
The three wounds looked like blood, but Su Fang did not feel any pain. Because the pain in his heart was far greater than the pain caused by the wounds.
PS: It's the third day of the new book. I'm still wondering if Ye Yun has found Wanhai in the unknown world.
