For Xu Yan, Li Xuan’s words were guidance from his master, clues about how to gain enlightenment, how to break the shackles impeding his progress. “Capture the concealed Spirit Mechanism around you, comprehend the essence of every blade of grass, every piece of wood, the nature of the heavens and the earth…”

In a daze, Xu Yan seemed to have a sudden insight.

“Thank you for your guidance, Master; I understand!”

Xu Yan said reverently.

Seeing his foolish disciple being so easily taken in once again, Li Xuan nodded in satisfaction.

Over the next two days, Xu Yan stopped cultivating and began strolling around the small village instead. Feeding chickens, planting vegetables, sitting on a rock at night and staring at the stars in the sky.

His mind seemed remarkably peaceful.

The obsession to break through the golden bone shackles was gone, as was the attachment to cultivation. His mind, as though having put down a heavy load, felt lighter.

At one point, he even had an unbidden insight that the heavens and the earth were incredibly wondrous.

After three days like this, Xu Yan was about to leave after weeding, when suddenly, he noticed a earthworm wriggling back into the soil.

He also saw a little bug digging a hole in the earth.

A flash illuminated his mind, as if revealing the Spirit Mechanism.

“Cultivate true intention, blood and Qi like a dragon… 1 understand!”

In that moment, Xu Yan felt enlightened. Flash of insight burst within his mind, and suddenly he understood the profound meaning within the technique.

“Jade bone, 1 will definitely cultivate you!”

“Thank you Master for your guidance, 1 was able to have an epiphany and spot the hidden spirit mechanisms around me, understanding the technique and how to breach my bottleneck!”

Xu Yan was beyond thrilled.

The next day, before dawn broke, Xu Yan started cultivating.

Seeing this, Li Xuan was surprised. Could his foolish disciple have regained his determination so quickly and continued to persevere?

As long as Xu Yan doesn’t discover he’s being deceived, it’s okay.

Once the one-year limit is up, their Master-disciple relationship will be severed, the deceit will end, and 1 will go live my life in Wu Country!

Maybe I will never see Xu Yan again.

At this moment, Xu Yan was guiding his Qi and blood into the marrow of his bones, slowly, continuously accumulating Qi and blood in the marrow.

After spending three days doing this, Xu Yan felt a sensation of sour swelling in his bones, only then did he begin refining.

Once entered into cultivation, Xu Yan seemed to forget everything else. Only the profound Spirit Mechanism between heaven and earth appeared in his mind.

Boom!

The Qi and blood in his marrow roared like a dragon, his bone marrow churning as though it were alive.

At this moment, Xu Yan felt an indescribable pain in every bone in his body.

Itching, pricking, swelling…

His bones alternatively expanded and contracted. The alternating expansion and contraction birthed purer Qi and blood.

Xu Yan felt as though a mysterious meaning was being born within his bones.

The sensation he was experiencing now was even more painful and unbearable compared to his first time refining bones.

Sweat dripped continuously.

Xu Yan gritted his teeth and endured until he was on the verge of collapse, only then did he stop his cultivation.

“The golden bone, it’s loosening up a bit…”

Xu Yan found that his golden bone, which had already reached its limit and couldn’t be refined any further, was now loosening up and becoming a bit stronger.

“I have the right comprehension, the jade bone is not far!”

Exhilarated, Xu Yan continued the next few days with even more rigorous cultivation.

The pain he endured was even more intense.

Seven days later.

The previously golden bones seemed to fade.

Even though the golden color of his bones had faded, the strength of his bones had increased by over thirty percent.

Half a month later, the bones all over his body turned back to white, but were more than twice as hard as golden bones.

The blood and energy within him had become purer, and more powerful.

“Though I haven’t reached the state of jade bones yet, I’m already so strong. How powerful would I be if I achieved jade bones? My martial arts foundation surpasses even the ancient prodigies!”

Xu Yan was extremely thrilled; he was nearing the stage of jade bones.
