Chapter 19: Cultivation Breakthrough, Bone Refinement Perfection_1

With Jing Chenglong's words spoken,

the atmosphere in the room immediately grew somber.

"Dad, these are just your personal conjectures, right?"

"They're not necessarily true, right?"

Jing Chang, whose complexion was still somewhat youthful, couldn't withstand the oppressive silence.

Thus, he spoke out to break the quiet.

Seeing his son and daughter shocked by his words,

Jing Chenglong laughed heartily twice, then whispered softly, "Xiao Chang is not wrong—these are merely my personal guesses and should not be taken as truth."

"However, as for the actual situation with the Zhao Family,

who knows if it is as I have described, other than the Family Head of the Zhao Family, Zhao Wu himself?"

...

In the blink of an eye, another three days had passed.

During these three days, the situation within Qingshi Town remained one of coexistence among the four major families.

To outsiders, the structure of coexistence among the four major families within Qingshi Town seemed very stable.

But in the eyes of the strongest families and some first-rate families within Qingshi Town,

the current calm was merely the calm before the storm.

This coexistence among the four major families was likely not sustainable for much longer.

As for how long exactly this time would be,

nobody knew an exact number.

...

Qingshi Town, Luo Family Ancestral Land.

In the courtyard where Patriarch Luo Changfeng of the Luo Family resided,

Luo Changfeng was currently sitting cross-legged on a patch of open ground.

In front of him, a semi-transparent attribute panel was hovering in the air.

Indeed, it was his very own unique golden finger.

[Name: Luo Changfeng]

[Lifespan: 2 days+]

[Cultivation: Bone Refinement Late Stage+（250/300）]

[Qi-Blood: 1330（-83）(ps: Safe usable Qi-Blood is 50 points!)]

[Cultivation Technique: Mortal Finest Grade·Fierce Tiger Power (Comprehension: 30%+), Mortal Finest Grade·Feng Ying Steps (Comprehension: 3%+)(Incomplete)]

Since three more days had passed,

and he had allocated his Qi-Blood to his cultivation for the past two days,

his already limited lifespan had dwindled to its last two days.

"After deducting fifteen experience points for cultivation due to three days of decay, adding a hundred points of experience for two days of cultivation, and naturally regaining fifty Qi-Blood points today,"

"I could just forcefully accumulate enough cultivation to reach Bone Refinement Perfection stage!"

Thinking this in his heart, Luo Changfeng then extended his sin-laden, emaciated right hand,

and pressed down heavily on the plus sign next to his cultivation level.

[50 points of Qi-Blood are being deducted...]

[Cultivation is increasing...]

As the cold voice echoed in his mind,

a mysterious and powerful, yet gentle force surged once more within Luo Changfeng's body.

However, this time the mysterious force remained for much longer than the previous times,

and the enhancement was much more potent than the previous several occasions.

Only after a full five minutes had elapsed,

did the mysterious force within Luo Changfeng's body slowly dissipate.

...

"Is this the power of Bone Refinement Perfection realm?"

Luo Changfeng stood up.

He clenched his fists,

then channeled his Qi-Blood into his right hand.

Using all his strength, and even incorporating the might of Fierce Tiger Power, he delivered a punch into the void in front of him.

[Whoosh whoosh whoosh...]

Bursts of punch wind whistled through the courtyard.

The overwhelming power caused Luo Changfeng to become somewhat intoxicated with it for a moment.

Most importantly, his current strength had only just reached the realm of Bone Refinement Perfection.

```

If he continued to improve his cultivation from the Bone Refinement Perfection, advancing to the Organ Refinement Realm,

how much stronger would his power become?

The more Luo Changfeng thought about it, the more he began to look forward to it.

Although, in these three days he had used all his Qi-Blood for cultivation,

this resulted in his already limited lifespan dwindling to the last two days.

But it was not a big issue.

He would endure the bitterness now.

Once he forcefully raised his cultivation to the Organ Refinement Realm,

Once he added an extra twenty years to his lifespan,

then he would no longer need to worry about this matter of lifespan.

...

In the courtyard of the Luo Family Ancestral Land,

Luo Changfeng's emotions gradually returned to calm.

He once again opened his own unique golden finger.

[Name: Luo Changfeng!]

[Lifespan: 2 days+]

[Cultivation: Bone Refinement Perfection+（0/500）]

[Qi-Blood: 1330（-133）（ps: The safe usable Qi-Blood is 0 points!）]

[Cultivation Technique: Mortal Finest - Fierce Tiger Vigor (Comprehension: 30%+), Mortal Finest - Feng Ying Steps (Comprehension: 3%+) (Incomplete)]

Looking at the translucent attribute panel in front of him,

Luo Changfeng's expression remained calm and steady.

"To continue advancing my cultivation, I need to use up 500 total Qi-Blood, right?"

"If calculated based on 50 points of natural recovery per day, it would take approximately 10 days."

"But if the natural loss of 5 points of experience per day is also included in the calculation,"

"then, barring any accidents, it would take about 11 days."

"11 days ah..."

"Endure it a bit more!!!"

...

As time passed,

it quickly reached deep into the night.

At this moment, a full moon hung high in the void.

The gentle moonlight spilled across the land, dispelling much of the darkness of the night.

On this continent, perhaps the vast majority of people would be fond of a night when the moon is full,

because the moonlight drives away the darkness and illuminates the path forward for them.

But for Luo Ping, the Family Head of the Luo Family in Qingshi Town,

this night of the full moon was the time he liked the least in his heart.

"How is it?"

Outside a room in the Luo Family Clan land of Qingshi Town,

Luo Ping anxiously inquired the Luo Family's private doctor standing before him.

"Family Head, I have done my best to alleviate the young lady's suffering, but..."

The doctor started to say, then couldn't help but sigh, shaking his head somewhat helplessly.

"But what?"

Seeing the doctor sigh and shake his head, Luo Ping's anxiety couldn't help but intensify.

The doctor looked up, noticed the anxiety on Luo Ping's face, hesitated for a moment, then said, "But for some reason, the various methods I have used to suppress the young lady's pain seem to be getting weaker and weaker."

"If this continues...

"At the next night of the full moon, the young lady might not be able to bear the pain and could be tormented to death by endless suffering!"

...

After saying these words, the Luo Family's private doctor silently left.

Outside the room, listening to the sounds of suppressed suffering that kept coming to his ears,

Luo Ping's face shifted from initial bewilderment and helplessness

to a deep sense of guilt and self-reproach.

No matter what others thought,

from Luo Ping's perspective,

allowing his daughter to endure this pain and torment while he was unable to do anything about it,

was a display of his own incapacity as a father.
