The Devil's Tribulation

Chapter 819: Bone Refining Realm, Zongzi (Long Chapter)

Time flies, and another three years have passed.

Yu Lei Zong, Lei Chi.

Pan Chengfeng was sweating profusely as he ran around the house carrying the mercury gold. He didn't know how many laps he had done.

One lap was 500 meters, and Pan Chengfeng just kept running until he could not run anymore, then he would stop and sit in meditation to absorb the spirit stones.

This kind of life has lasted for three years, and gradually, the bottleneck of body refining technique has been vaguely felt.

Three years ago, Pan Chengfeng had just started practicing the body-refining technique. After only a few months of practice, he broke through to the peak of the tendon-refining realm, and his strength increased by another 100,000 pounds!

This was the largest breakthrough and improvement in one small realm that Pan Chengfeng had ever experienced since he started practicing body refining techniques!

Now Pan Chengfeng's pure physical strength has reached 600,000 pounds, and his speed has also increased to 3,000 kilometers per hour, almost catching up with the speed of his Thunder Escape Technique.

It’s indeed different when someone guides you. Pan Chengfeng is distracted and it would take a long time for him to discover the problem himself.

After practicing for several hours, Pan Chengfeng finally couldn't hold on any longer. With a bang, he threw down the huge piece of mercury and gold and lay on the ground gasping for breath.

"Haha, haha~" After taking a few breaths, Pan Chengfeng couldn't help but laugh and said to himself: "I finally found the bottleneck of the body refining technique! The hard work of the past few years has not been in vain~"

Pan Chengfeng sat up and came to his Qiankun Ding. He looked at the half-refined spiritual weapon inside and said, "I have to put the weapon refining technique aside for now. My Dan Fire is not enough now. I will try to refine the best spiritual treasure when I reach the Nascent Soul stage."

With a wave of his hand, the embryos of the spiritual treasures and the elixir fire in the Qiankun Cauldron were collected. Pan Chengfeng then took out the spiritual spring water and began to wash the Qiankun Cauldron. While washing, he muttered, "This cauldron is used to refine weapons, cook rice, and refine myself. It must be kept clean and hygienic!"

Shangguan Yun’s cave residence.

Shangguan Yun saw Pan Chengfeng cleaning the Qiankun Cauldron and chuckled, "This kid is finally going to break through the body refining technique. People who practice body refining techniques are indeed all people with strong willpower~"

In the past few years, Shangguan Yun often observed Pan Chengfeng and saw that he carried the piece of mercury weighing hundreds of thousands of kilograms to exercise every day, running laps with it, doing pull-ups with it hanging on his feet, and doing push-ups with it on his back, etc.

Especially the push-up movement. Shangguan Yun didn’t know what was special about this movement, but every time Pan Chengfeng practiced this movement, he looked excited.

Even if he was a cultivator who had reached the great perfection of the fusion stage, he would not dare to practice like this. Not to mention whether it could improve his strength, isn't he afraid of damaging his body by practicing like this?

Shangguan Yun said with some worry: "I hope there won't be any more accidents this time, so that our sect won't have to worry too much."

Pan Chengfeng had no idea what Shangguan Yun was thinking. He had already polished the Qiankun Ding until it was sparkling.

After returning to the cushion and sitting down, he began to take out all the spiritual medicines needed for this advancement in body refining techniques.

Then he took inventory of everything, and finally took out the most important and rarest Linggu Yuxin Grass~

Everything was ready. Pan Chengfeng closed his eyes and began to adjust his mind.

three days later.

Pan Chengfeng opened his eyes, took a deep breath and said, "We can start now. My state of mind is perfect. As long as I want to beat Xuan Yuanzi, and as long as I want to stand at the top of this world, I will not fail!"

With rustling sounds, Pan Chengfeng stripped himself naked, walked bare-butt to the already heated Qiankun Cauldron, and threw all the elixirs into it.

Seeing the originally bright red blood of the sixth-level beast slowly turning into milky white, Pan Chengfeng knew that the elixir had completely merged with the blood! He closed his eyes, bit his white teeth, and jumped in with a "plop".

Cold ~ The biting cold penetrated Pan Chengfeng's skin, flesh and bones.

Since practicing the body refining technique, Pan Chengfeng hasn't felt the cold for many years. Today he experienced it again.

It turns out that it’s not that I’m not afraid of the cold, but that I’ve never experienced such bone-deep cold before.

Pan Chengfeng's face had turned purple from the cold, his teeth were chattering, his eyebrows and hair were covered with a thick layer of frost, and his eyelids were beginning to close uncontrollably.

But Pan Chengfeng knew that if he really fell asleep, he would fail in his promotion, so he endured the cold and practiced the Hunyuan Body Refining Technique.

Finally, I wasn’t feeling so sleepy anymore, but my bones started to crackle.

Pan Chengfeng hurriedly looked inside and found that tiny cracks began to appear on his bones, and they were becoming more and more numerous and denser.

The pain made him lose all sleepiness, and he thought to himself: "Is it coming? Every promotion is a rebirth, and rebirth brings great power! I am afraid of the pain of broken bones?! Come on!!"

The bones seemed to have heard Pan Chengfeng's request, and there were a series of "bang, bang, bang" sounds. The bones in the soles of the feet were broken one by one, and the bones in the calves were also broken one by one with "bang, bang, bang".

When Pan Chengfeng's thigh bone was broken, he finally couldn't help but scream!

The screams of "Ah ...

But this was just the beginning. Then the ten finger bones were broken one by one, followed by the ribs, collarbone, and spine...

These bones are not crushed all at once, but are broken into bone residue and powder bit by bit.

Pan Chengfeng's voice had been broken by shouting, but his bones continued to shatter until even his skull turned into powder. Without the support of bones, his whole body sank to the bottom of the cauldron like a pool of mud.

Pan Chengfeng didn't even have the strength to shout, but his brain hadn't yet fainted, and he just stayed in the Qiankun Cauldron until three hours later...

"My bones are starting to grow again!" Pan Chengfeng thought to himself, "I've made it through!!"

The shattered bones in the body began to move. Pan Chengfeng felt it clearly, first the skull, the spine, and then the sternum...

Although the speed is slow, the new bones are indeed supporting the body again and bringing new vitality.

Then the medicinal liquid in the Qiankun Ding began to rotate and was madly absorbed by Pan Chengfeng's new bones.

It took three full days for the bones to grow completely, and Pan Chengfeng was able to sit in the cauldron again.

Feeling the increase in strength, Pan Chengfeng couldn't help but frown and thought to himself: "The strength has increased, but..."

Pan Chengfeng took a look at the medicinal liquid in the cauldron. Although the color was a little lighter, it was still milky white, and a sense of uneasiness rose in his heart.

Sure enough, after a while, the new bones began to make crackling sounds again. Pan Chengfeng smiled bitterly and said, "I knew it wouldn't be that easy. You want to continue, right? Let's see how many times I can endure it!"

Shangguan Yun didn't know how to describe his shock. The hellish torture just now was just the first round of Pan Chengfeng's advancement. There would be more to come!

Forty days later, after the new bones were reorganized again, Pan Chengfeng sat calmly in the cauldron and practiced the Hunyuan Body Refining Technique, waiting for the next bone break to come.

The same thing happened ten times in these forty days. In other words, he endured the torture of broken bones ten times!

After waiting for a long time, the clicking sound finally stopped. Pan Chengfeng then opened his eyes and said calmly, "Is it finally over?"

After observing the medicinal liquid in the cauldron, which had changed from milky white to clear water, Pan Chengfeng knew that he had successfully advanced.

He couldn't help but smile and said, "I didn't expect the improvement this time to be so huge!"

The first time his bones regenerated, Pan Chengfeng felt that his strength had increased by at least 100,000 pounds.

But this time it was a breakthrough in a great realm, and it only increased by 100,000, which was pitifully small for Pan Chengfeng. He didn't have time to think about it at that time, and the bone-breaking came again.

Now Pan Chengfeng knew that it was only the first time. Every time the bones were regenerated, the corresponding strength would increase. Pan Chengfeng reorganized them ten times, and his strength increased by more than one million pounds!

Sure enough, the fifth level of body refining, like the cultivator's spiritual transformation, has seen a qualitative improvement!

Pan Chengfeng looked inward at his new bones and thought to himself, "Although it looks almost the same as before, the color is whiter. No, it seems to have a little golden light. What's going on?"

Pan Chengfeng's new bones actually shone with a hint of golden light, which neither Taoist Yu nor Uncle Niu mentioned.

Pan Chengfeng thought for a while, then laughed and said, "Never mind, it should be a good thing. I'll ask Master and Grandmaster when I see them~"

He stood up and left the Qiankun Cauldron, and jumped down with a loud bang. Pan Chengfeng was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said, "The power is out of control again~ This feeling only occurs when you are promoted to the Flesh Refining Realm. You need to practice well to be able to control this power skillfully."

Pan Chengfeng took out the mercury gold and was stunned again. He tossed the mercury gold with one hand and said, "It's so light?" He threw the mercury gold out casually, and with another bang, it smashed the restriction and the wall into pieces.

After the wall shattered, a fellow disciple who was still meditating in seclusion next door was revealed.

As luck would have it, the person meditating next door was Hei Kun! Hei Kun was startled by the loud noise, and when the smoke and dust cleared, he saw that it was Pan Chengfeng with his butt naked.

Hei Kun was about to curse, but he held back his words and said with an apologetic smile, "Junior Brother Pan, what are you doing? I remember I haven't offended you recently, right? Why do you have to come here to cause trouble for me? And you don't even have clothes on?"

Pan Chengfeng quickly covered his vital parts and said embarrassedly: "It turns out to be Senior Brother Hei, you also came to Leichi for retreat~"

Hei Kun stood up and walked to the mercury gold, tapping it with his fingers and said, "Wow, this is mercury gold, such a big piece, it must weigh at least 300,000 kilograms, and Junior Brother just used it to smash the wall? This wall is ten feet thick, and it is made of meteorite iron!"

Pan Chengfeng didn't have time to discuss this with him, so he quickly took out his clothes and put them on, saying, "My hand slipped, my hand slipped, I didn't mean to do that."

Hei Kun laughed and bowed to Pan Chengfeng, saying, "Congratulations, Junior Brother, your strength has improved a lot. Did you make a breakthrough in the Body Refining Technique?"

Pan Chengfeng did not hide it. Many people now knew that he practiced both Dharma and body cultivation, especially those who were friends with him. They all knew about it and responded, "Indeed, I just had a breakthrough. I did not control my strength well. I disturbed Senior Brother Hei's retreat. I am sorry."

Interrupting someone's retreat is a big deal. Fortunately, Hei Kun is not trying to break through to a higher level or practice some secret technique at this critical juncture, otherwise he would suffer backlash at best, or go insane at worst.

Hei Kun was originally afraid of Pan Chengfeng, and now that Pan Chengfeng's strength has been further improved, he is naturally even more afraid. How dare he blame him?

Seeing Pan Chengfeng's sincere apology, Hei Kun waved his hands and said, "It's okay, it's okay, I'm fine anyway, it's just..."

Pan Chengfeng was just being polite, but he didn't expect Hei Kun to dare to do that. He frowned and said, "Brother Hei, you don't want me to compensate you, do you?"

Hei Kun rubbed his hands together and said, "Everyone knows that Junior Brother Pan is the richest in the whole sect. I am a little short of money recently, otherwise I would not ask you~"

Pan Chengfeng frowned and said, "I just gave you 1.5 million points, and you've spent them all?"

Hei Kun did not hide it from Pan Chengfeng and said directly: "Brother, the cultivation of this family's skills consumes a lot of resources. I used part of the 150 points to ask Master Feng to refine a magic weapon, and the rest has been used up long ago."

Pan Chengfeng asked in surprise: "How dare you come to the sixth floor of the Thunder Pond to practice without any points! You can practice outside~"

Hei Kun said helplessly: "I don't want to come either, but my 'Golden Jade Mystical Art' requires the power of thunder to forge my body, otherwise it will be difficult to improve, so..."
