With Jiang Nan's current strength, he could deal with ordinary demonic beasts, but dealing with spiritual monsters would be suicidal. Spiritual monsters were demonic beasts that had cultivated themselves into spirits and were very powerful. Even the weakest spiritual monster was comparable to a martial arts expert who had cultivated the Divine Wheel.
And this gray dragon was many times stronger than ordinary spiritual monsters. It was obvious that its strength was really amazing. If Jiang Nan was in front of it, he would probably be killed by the gray dragon in one breath, not to mention fighting!
"If we had left a little later, I'm afraid we would have been blocked by this gray dragon in its lair. At that time, we would definitely have died without a burial place!"
Jiang Nan couldn't help but feel a little scared and secretly thanked his lucky stars.
"Unfortunately, I left in a hurry and forgot to pry out a few night-luminescent pearls."
In the blink of an eye, he threw the fear to the back of his mind and thought to himself, "If I just randomly took out a night-luminescent pearl, although I wouldn't be the richest person in the world, I would definitely be the richest person in the area!"
Wealth was found in danger. If he knew his place, he would never be able to escape poverty for the rest of his life.
"I've finally reached the peak of bone refining!"
Two days later, on the bank of Yangchuan, Jiang Nan bathed in the morning sun. His hair was messy as the Devil Prison Dark Fetus Scripture absorbed the rolling Yang Qi in the sunlight and integrated it into his body. The wild True Qi in his body rolled and tempered his skin, flesh, tendons, and bones. Especially his bones, under the scouring and smelting of the True Qi, made a buzzing sound, like the slight vibration of steel bars!
This was the sign of reaching the advanced level of bone refining!
"Two days, in just two days, I have reached the advanced level of bone refining. The Devil Prison Dark Fetus Scripture and the Divine Fire of Tusita are really extraordinary, five days earlier than I expected!"
Jiang Nan's heart was pounding. Not far from him were the corpses of demonic beasts. The forest was a mess, with fallen trees everywhere. This was his third battle, and he barely had any time to rest for the entire night. His spirit, Qi, and spirit were highly concentrated, and because of this, his cultivation had improved greatly, directly reaching the peak of the Bone Refining Realm.
Under the impact of the powerful True Qi, his bones became incomparably tough and heavy, as if they were filled with copper and lead. Such tough bones could definitely withstand the huge pressure when the True Qi broke through the periosteum!
His body had surpassed the disciples of the Qi Clan who had the same cultivation base as him. The disciples of the Qi Clan consumed the flesh and blood of demonic beasts and spirit pills to nourish their bodies, and so did Meng Qi. However, the disciples of the Qi Clan did not have a divine item like the Divine Fire of Tusita to refine their fleshly body, true energy, and will.
He had experienced the wonders of the Devil Prison Dark Fetus Scripture for a long time, but the wonders of the Divine Tuṣita Fire made him overjoyed.
This divine fire settled down in the space between his brows. From time to time, it would be activated by his True Qi, and the divine fire would surge through his entire body, burning his body and purifying his essence, Qi, and spirit. Coupled with the tempering of the Devil Hell Dark Fetus Scripture, his cultivation level continued to advance by leaps and bounds, soaring all the way to the peak of the Bone Refinement Realm. This saved him a lot of cultivation time.
Although he had advanced so quickly, his foundation was incomparably firm, even more so than that of the descendants of the King of Qi Manor.
The combination of the Divine Tuṣita Fire and the Devil Prison Dark Fetus Scripture was even more wondrous, allowing him to achieve twice the results with half the effort!
The strength in his body had even reached the strength of seven tigers. His strength was so strong that it far surpassed the martial artists of the same cultivation base. Even the disciples of the King of Qi Manor could not compare to him!
"Now, I can break through to the fifth layer of the Body Refinement Realm, the Membrane Refining Realm!"
With a thought, the True Qi in Jiang Nan's body became wilder and wilder, whistling and surging. It gradually gathered near the bottom of the spine, near the tailbone. Suddenly, the True Qi surged, and he heard a light crackling sound. He only felt that a layer of iris where the bones and flesh were connected was suddenly broken by the violent True Qi!
The Membrane Refining Realm first connected to the spine. There were two hundred and six bones in the human body, and among them, the spine occupied twenty-four. These twenty-four bones were the backbone of the entire body, the most important, connecting the limbs, the head, and supporting the five viscera and six bowels.
After breaking through the periosteum of these twenty-four vertebrae, the other periosteum could be easily broken through!
The True Qi in his body became wilder and wilder, rushing all the way up. The vibrations in his body became more and more intense. This kind of True Qi attack created an extremely strong pressure. If one had not cultivated to the peak of the Bone Refinement Realm, their bones would easily be crushed by the True Qi, and their whole body would be paralyzed. There was no possibility of recovery, and it was extremely dangerous!
Jiang Nan's bones were now comparable to steel, and his body was made of copper and iron. Naturally, he did not fear the pressure of the True Qi attack.
Pa!
The second periosteum of the tailbone was broken, and Jiang Nan gathered his strength in one go. His True Qi became wilder and wilder, and the Devil Prison Dark Fetus Scripture was pushed to the extreme. His messy hair fluttered without any wind, and his clothes puffed up, as if there was a strong wind blowing out from his body, causing his clothes to flutter!
Within a radius of ten feet, the sunlight shone down on him, and the sun's True Qi was directly absorbed by his body. The sunlight did not have the slightest bit of warmth, and the True Qi merged into his body, turning into rolling True Qi, crazily attacking the periosteum!
Pa! Pa!
Another two periosteum were broken by the True Qi!
After a long time, Jiang Nan's fluttering hair gradually calmed down and fell down, draping over his shoulders. His clothes also returned to normal.
He opened his eyes and frowned slightly. He had pushed his True Qi to its limit, but it could only break through the periosteum of four of his tailbones. He had to continue cultivating and make his True Qi stronger, and only then would he be able to break through the other periosteum.
"I only need to cultivate step by step, and I will soon be able to cultivate enough True Qi to break through more periosteum, and the day I step into the realm of Qi Refining is just around the corner!"
Jiang Nan slowly calmed his True Qi, and looked into the distance. He saw Jiang Xue standing by the river, dressed in a snow-white sable fur coat. The surface of the river was covered with mist, and the ripples of the sunlight reflected off the surface of the river.
There was a beauty in the north, and she stood alone, aloof from the world.
Even if he had some achievements in this life, it would not have been great. She was like a fairy that had descended from the heavens. She ate the wind and drank the dew, and she stood out from the crowd. She did not eat the food of the mortals. If she had not met with a calamity, Jiang Nan would probably never have had any interaction with her in this life.
Jiang Nan's heart was like a stone being thrown into a well, rippling slightly. If he had not met Jiang Xue, he would still be an ignorant youth, secretly learning the martial arts of the King of Qi Manor and pondering the profoundness of martial arts by himself. Even if he had some accomplishments in this life, it would not have been great.
It was precisely because he had unintentionally saved this demon fox from the hands of a hunter that the trajectory of his life had undergone an earth-shattering change. And because of him, Jiang Xue had been spared from losing her life.
This kind of fate could not help but make one sigh with emotion.
Within the Rain Admiration Pavilion in the inner residence of the King of Qi Manor, Qi Feng was dressed in violet clothes and was quiet like a virgin. He sat on the ground with a zither on his lap and lightly played it. When he heard the sound of footsteps approaching, this prince pressed down on the zither and did not even turn his head as he said with a slight frown, "Qi Yong, have you still not found the person that secretly learned the secret technique of my King of Qi Manor?"
The person that ascended the Rain Admiration Pavilion was precisely the Head Manager of the King of Qi Manor, Qi Yong. He revealed an ashamed expression when he heard this and said in a low voice, "Prince, this old servant has already investigated all the servants in the inner residence. Even though I noticed that many people possess martial arts, I didn't notice anyone secretly learning the secret technique of the inner residence, nor did I notice anyone learning the River Moon Wave Breaker Technique …"
"It wasn't done by the servants of the inner residence? Besides the servants of the inner residence, who else could possibly come into contact with a secret technique like the River Moon Wave Breaker Technique? "
Qi Feng was slightly startled, and he pondered for a moment before flicking his sleeve, causing the zither to fly up and descend onto the tea table. He slowly stood up and said in a low voice, "Since we can't find anything from the inner residence, then expand the scope and search the outer residence!"
"Prince, the servants of the outer residence probably don't have the chance to come into contact with a mental cultivation technique like the River Moon Wave Breaker Technique, right?"
Qi Yong couldn't refrain from saying. "Besides that, there are over a thousand servants in the outer residence. If we were to search, then I'm afraid it would be difficult to completely investigate them in a short period of time …"
"The servants of the outer residence indeed don't have the chance to come into contact with the River Moon Wave Breaker Technique, but this mental cultivation technique has the chance to be spread to the outer residence!"
Qi Feng suddenly sneered. "Qi Yong, have you forgotten that old servant from the inner residence, Liu Heida, from one year ago? After Liu Heida obtained the River Moon Wave Breaker Technique, it was unavoidable that he didn't pass it down to others, and it's extremely likely that this person is the person that killed Wu Sijiang! "
Qi Yong was shocked in his heart. One year ago, when he discovered that Liu Heida had secretly learned the River Moon Wave Breaker Technique, the inner residence was extremely enraged. At that time, it was he who personally killed Liu Heida and exposed his corpse for three days to warn the other servants!
When Qi Feng mentioned this matter, it instantly caused him to think of the mental cultivation technique, the River Moon Wave Breaker Technique, and it was indeed possible that it had been spread out from that time!
"I'll investigate the outer residence thoroughly right now. Even if I have to turn the entire place upside down, I'll dig out this person!"
Qi Feng waved his hand. Qi Yong bowed and left the Rain Admiration Pavilion before heading straight for the outer residence, and then he summoned the manager of the outer residence and ordered all the servants to be investigated.
In the Rain Admiration Pavilion, Qi Feng seemed to be lost in thought as he muttered. "Liu Heida obtained the River Moon Wave Breaker Technique one year ago. If the person that killed Wu Sijiang obtained the River Moon Wave Breaker Technique from him, then wouldn't it mean that he cultivated to the realm of bone refinement and membrane refinement in a single year? If it's really like this, then it's truly too terrifying … A figure like this must be killed, and he must be killed as soon as possible! "
As the heir of the Qi King Estate, Qi Feng had naturally cultivated the River Moon Wave Breaker Technique as well, and he knew very well exactly how terrifying it was to cultivate to the realm of bone refinement and membrane refinement in a single year!
Even if it was him, it was impossible for him to cultivate his True Qi to such an extent in such a short period of time!
If a figure like this were to mature, he would surely be an enormous threat to the Qi King Estate, and he absolutely couldn't be allowed to live!
But even though he was extremely intelligent, never had he imagined that Jiang Nan had already broken free from his status as a slave and had obtained his freedom. So even if he investigated all the servants in the outer residence, it would be impossible for him to find Jiang Nan.
"Zi Chuan, why is the Dragon-Tiger Force Technique you passed down to me this time slightly different from the one you passed down to me the last time?"
At the bank of Yangchuan River, Tie Zhu scratched his disheveled hair and said in wonder, "Even though the Dragon-Tiger Force Technique you passed down to me the last time was profound, it couldn't compare to the Qi King Estate's Dragon-Tiger Force Technique, whereas the one you passed down to me this time doesn't give me the feeling it's inferior to the Qi King Estate's!"
"Cough cough, Zhu 'zi, this is my Jiang family's ancestral martial art. It's profound without end, and it's on par with the Qi King Estate's Dragon-Tiger Force Technique. It's just that due to my limited aptitude, I wasn't able to comprehend its essence, so I gave you the impression that it's inferior to the Qi King Estate's Dragon-Tiger Force Technique."
Jiang Nan's face turned slightly red, and he coughed twice before smiling, "Now that I've gone through … hmm, three days of bitter cultivation, I've finally unearthed the essence of this mental cultivation technique. Now, this is the true face of my Jiang family's Dragon-Tiger Force Technique."
He felt ashamed in his heart. The Jiang family was a scholarly family, and they believed that everything else was inferior, and only studying was superior. Thus, they looked down on martial arts, so how could there be any martial arts that had been passed down?
