Chapter 10: Tiger Leopard Bone Training Technique

After the body tempering pills entered his stomach, Wu Yuan felt them dissolve.

The low-grade body tempering pill is truly worthy of the name ‘poison pill’. It contains far more impurities than the high-grade body tempering pill. He could distinctly detect numerous impurities within the medicinal pill.

Every medicine has its side effects. But the low-grade body tempering pill was basically poison with a side effect of physical improvement.

The body tempering pill was the most common basic medicinal pill refined by alchemists. Even some alchemist apprentices could refine it. This pill served as a supplementary aid for martial artists of fourth grade and lower, assisting them in tempering their bodies. It was concocted with relatively ordinary raw materials, thus the price it fetched was not too expensive, and the children of ordinary wealthy families could afford it.

In the county martial academy, the top ten disciples of every minor tournament were rewarded with body tempering pills. Of course, they were only given high-grade body tempering pills. The reason for that was simple: these common medicinal pills contained a large percentage of impurities. If taken appropriately, the martial artist's body would only suffer minimal damage, and the benefits outweighed the detriments.

But they should not be taken excessively! If consumed in large quantities, the copious amount of impurities accumulated in the body could damage one's vitality.

As for medium-grade body tempering pills, they had much greater side effects. It was mostly only taken by martial artists who found it difficult to make further progress. In the martial academy, disciples were strictly forbidden from consuming medium-grade body tempering pills to enhance their strength.

As for the low-grade body tempering pill? It had its uses, but was far closer to a poison pill. The detriments outweighed the benefits, and consuming too much could even be fatal. They were usually the waste pills produced by alchemist apprentices during their failed refining attempts.

The high-grade body tempering pill is indeed decent, but much too expensive. 50 silver taels for one pill? Wu Yuan shook his head.

He had taken it once, and the effect was quite good. But to buy 500, it would cost 25,000 silver taels! How many people in the entirety of Li City could actually afford it?

Even if I had that much silver, purchasing that many in one go would probably cause a stir in the Starcom Consortium.

A transaction of tens of thousands of silver taels in a mere county city would definitely draw attention. Although the Starcom Consortium was known for its neutrality and credibility, Wu Yuan wasn't foolish enough to entrust his fate to someone else.

Was their reputation good? Only when one’s purchase wasn’t big enough!

Wu Yuan can't afford to wait either. From the age of twelve to eighteen, every day marked a period of rapid physical growth, and each day he delayed his training was a huge waste of time. Thus, Wu Yuan chose the unremarkable low-grade body tempering pill.

The disciples of other martial academies, and even some powerful martial artists, dare not consume the low-grade body tempering pill due to its high percentage of impurities.

Gurgle~ Hum~ A series of low rumblings emanated from Wu Yuan's stomach like detonating grenades.

If a martial arts expert were here, they would be astonished to discover that every muscle, tendon, and bone in Wu Yuan's body was vibrating. This state only lasted about half a minute.

Wu Yuan suddenly opened his mouth and spat out a mixture of black and purple colored impurities onto the river bank. These were the impurities from the medicinal pills.

It's a pity that I haven't reached the Viscera Cultivation and Marrow Cleansing phase. Otherwise, these impurities could be completely expelled through the pores of my limbs and bones, further increasing the purity.

If high-grade body tempering pills were 99% essence and 1% impurity, then the low-grade body tempering pill was 80% essence and 20% impurity. By controlling his stomach, Wu Yuan was able to separate out most of the impurities, achieving a purity of 99.9%! The percentage of impurities was near zero, making him well and truly capable of consuming them in large quantities.

Previously, I had yet to reach Threefold Power Surge. Even with Internal Vision, I didn't dare take the risk. Wu Yuan smiled.

Internal Vision was the act of forcibly controlling the body's muscles and bones. Only those with a strong spiritual sense could perform it, and it was very draining on the mind.

The pinnacle of Power Surge lay in achieving absolute familiarity with one's body, allowing one to control it naturally without undue mental effort.

But if one observed him for some time, one would realize that it was neither. Many of the postures were strange and specific. If he was not careful, he could easily sprain his muscles or bones. It was completely different from the typical methods of strength training such as running, punching, squatting, and frog leaping. It was not suitable for those who did not have precise control over their muscles and bones.

Breathe deeply, control the flow of blood. Even with the level of control he wielded over his body, he still found it difficult.

When he first heard of these techniques in his past life, his body was already matured and he had completed his strength training. Though he tried them out, their effects were insignificant, hence he did not pay much attention to them.

But practicing them again now, he gained a deeper insight into the effects of these techniques.

By mobilizing every limb and bone through these special movements with the spine as the core, one's flesh, tendons, fasciae, and bones will eventually be perfectly unified. Wu Yuan felt his whole body turning numb from the movements.

All 206 bones of his body were colliding with each other! It felt very comfortable.

Doing this will lead to better effects. Wu Yuan made several minor adjustments to his postures.

Movements were the surface, muscles and bones were the interior, breathing rhythm and blood flow were the lubricants, constantly progressing towards the perfect state.

While training, Wu Yuan also started to clearly feel his muscles and bones growing at an astonishing speed, more than ten times faster than before.

At the same time, the body tempering pills he swallowed previously were rapidly consumed, continuously converted into the energy needed by his body.

Ordinary humans possess a very low energy conversion rate from food, while martial artists exhibit a higher rate. And my conversion rate is dozens of times higher than ordinary martial artists! Wu Yuan felt his muscles and bones greedily absorbing every bit of power contained in the medicinal pills.

Before long, Wu Yuan swallowed a few more low-grade body tempering pills and continued to train, repeating this cycle.

Four hours later, the eastern sky began to brighten.

Exhaling, Wu Yuan lightly leaped up to his feet, feeling refreshed and full of energy. His eyes lit up. Not bad, my strength has increased by at least several hundred catties!

This was raw physical strength. One had to understand that Wu Yuan had only increased his physical strength from 2500 catties to about 3800 catties after training for more than a month.

But this way of cultivating is seriously tiring!

His mind and body were equally exhausted. The human body was not a machine; it could only be sustained with a balance of tension and relaxation. Constant stress would only cause the body to collapse.

I will train once every two days. I already consumed fifteen body tempering pills the first time alone. The more I continue to train, the more I will consume. Wu Yuan shook his head slightly.

It seemed that the 600 or so body tempering pills wouldn’t last him very long. Bear in mind, Wu Yuan only ingested low-grade body tempering pills. If he were to take high-grade ones, even a large clan would go broke supporting him.

For every martial artist powerhouse born, there were huge pillars of financial support behind them!

Time to go home!

Wu Yuan quickly scooped up the medicinal impurities from the ground and carefully discarded them in the river, watching as the currents washed them away completely. Only then did he return home.

...

As the days passed, Wu Yuan spent his days in regular Strength Training and martial skills comprehension, and his nights cultivating the Tiger Leopard Bone Training Technique frenziedly. The constitution of his body improved at a terrifying speed.

In the blink of an eye, it was time for the martial academy major tournament.
