Chapter 11 Bone Refinement Late Stage, Idea for Overall Blood Qi Enhancement_1

```

After another increase in strength,

Luo Changfeng once again began a period of closed-door cultivation.

And this time, the retreat flew by, three days passing in the blink of an eye.

At dawn, a gray light brightened the sky.

When countless beings of this world were still deep in slumber,

on the Luo Family Ancestral Land in Qingshi Town,

within a courtyard emanating waves of ancient aura,

Luo Changfeng slowly opened his slightly murky eyes.

"Three days have passed..."

He couldn't help but let out a small sigh.

He had been in arduous cultivation for a full three days.

To rapidly enhance his power, he hadn't dared waste a single second over these three days.

However, the results of this three-day retreat...

left Luo Changfeng somewhat disappointed.

Not to mention an increase in cultivation level.

Instead, following his three days of intense effort, his power had not only failed to grow – it had actually diminished considerably.

Not advancing an inch in ability after three days of hard cultivation was something Luo Changfeng could accept.

But what he couldn't accept was that,

after these three days, not only had there been a lack of improvement, but his strength had even slightly declined.

"Is it because my time is running out?"

Luo Changfeng waved his right hand, summoning his own unique golden finger.

[Name: Luo Changfeng!]

[Lifespan: 5 days+]

[Cultivation: Bone Refinement Intermediate Stage+ (170/200)]

[Qi-Blood: 1350 (-85) (ps: Safe available Qi-Blood is 50 points!)]

[Cultivation Technique: Mortal's Finest - Fierce Tiger Power (Comprehension: 30%+)]

...

Indeed, the numbers behind his cultivation level had decreased.

If we consider the normal rate of progression,

it should already have reached 185 points by now.

But as it stood, he had only 170 points, meaning those three days

had clearly led to a significant regression in Luo Chiangfeng's ability.

Due to his imminent demise, the depletion rate of his life force had exceeded his initial estimates.

"First, add 30 points to my Qi-Blood to raise my cultivation to the Bone Refinement Refining Stage."

"Then, enhance my lifespan by two more days."

Thinking thus, Luo Changfeng then extended his hand that was laden with sin and

performed a series of actions on the golden finger's attribute panel.

[Qi-Blood -30, Cultivation increasing...]

[Qi-Blood -20, Lifespan growing...]

Following the cold notification sound,

a mysterious and extremely powerful energy once again surged within Luo Changfeng.

This time, the mysterious energy lasted for full three minutes.

Until it had enhanced his bones to a certain level,

forcing his cultivation up to the Bone Refinement Refining Stage,

did that mysterious force slowly fade away.

[Name: Luo Changfeng!]

[Lifespan: 7 days+]

[Cultivation: Bone Refinement Refining Stage+ (0/300)]

[Qi-Blood: 1350 (-135) (ps: Safe available Qi-Blood is 0 points!)]

[Cultivation Technique: Mortal's Finest - Fierce Tiger Power (Comprehension: 30%+)]

These are Luo Changfeng's current attributes.

The plus sign behind his cultivation level still remains.

That signifies that, should Luo Changfeng wish, he could continue to consume the Qi-Blood of other members of the Luo Family Clan to enhance his own cultivation.

```

However, Luo Changfeng wouldn't do that.

Rather than depleting resources, he preferred the method of a steady flow.

It was just that he didn't know how the total amount of Qi-Blood could be rapidly increased.

There was also the matter of how to increase the daily recovery amount of Qi-Blood.

This daily amount of fifty was indeed a bit too little.

...

Since meditating in seclusion was of no use,

Luo Changfeng stopped the arduous solo cultivation.

Instead, he walked out of his courtyard with his hands clasped behind his back, lost in his own thoughts.

He strolled at random within the vast Luo Family Ancestral Land.

The Luo Family, being one of the four great families of Qingshi Town,

naturally had a considerable number of servants within the family.

It seemed, however, that the number of Luo Family Clan members he encountered along the way was a bit low.

"No wonder the family's total Qi-Blood value is only 1350 points. With only this many clan members, it's somewhat unrealistic to expect a higher total Qi-Blood..." Luo Changfeng thought to himself as he walked within the lands of the Luo Family.

As his thoughts began to wander freely,

a particular idea suddenly surged in his mind.

If every member of the Luo Family were to take several more wives and concubines, wouldn't the family's total Qi-Blood increase?

Of course, there is a premise here.

Would women not of the Luo bloodline, those without the Luo Family's blood flowing through their veins, be considered members of the Luo Family if they joined it?

Logically speaking, once they joined the Luo Family,

they should be regarded as members of the family.

But after all, it was not for Luo Changfeng to decide.

Only the 'golden finger' would need to approve.

Otherwise, it would be futile no matter what was said.

"However, regardless,"

"encouraging the Luo Family members to have more children, that surely can't be wrong..."

"But how to implement such a thing?"

"As the Ancestor of the Luo Family, would it be somewhat improper for me to urge them directly?"

...

After much thought, Luo Changfeng finally set aside this idea for the time being.

"Elder Changfeng."

Outside the Library Pavilion of the Luo Family Ancestral Land, a building painted entirely black and having an aura of solemnity,

stood a young man wearing a scholar's robe and holding a book in hand.

He was somewhat thin, with dark circles under his eyes,

and as he read the book, he kept yawning repeatedly. Upon seeing Luo Changfeng, he slightly bowed his head and greeted him with a respectful expression.

[Luo Chuan, son of Luo Ping, the Current Patriarch of the Luo Family!]

Upon seeing the person in front of him, Luo Changfeng's mind automatically conjured up some matching information.

"It's you..."

Luo Changfeng noticed Luo Chuan's dark circles and his face showing signs of fatigue and couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong? Haven't been sleeping well in the past few days?"

"Yes!" Luo Chuan put down the book in his hands, glanced at the still vibrant Elder Changfeng and responded in a low voice, "I don't know why, but I've been feeling tired all over for the past few days, and it's been difficult to fall asleep at night."

"Is that so?"

Luo Changfeng narrowed his eyes slightly and nodded silently.

"I even had the clan's physician take a look, but maybe due to the physician's limited ability, nothing was found."

"Is it only you within the clan who's in such a state?" asked Luo Changfeng.

"Not just me, the majority of our Luo Family members are experiencing this, only the severity varies."

"The servants, however...don't seem to have any problems."

"Elder Changfeng, do you know what might be causing this?" Luo Chuan asked while silently gazing at Luo Changfeng's face, which was covered with wrinkles.

Perhaps due to a sense of guilt or some other reason,

Luo Changfeng did not meet the gaze of the young man standing before him.
