The Martial Saint of Humanity, I Have Transformed Low-Level Martial Arts Into Immortal Martial Arts - Chapter 24

Chapter 24: Bone Refining Elixir! Reckless Bull Forging Bones!

If Su Hao had purely relied on his robust physique to withstand this blow, Li Shuqing wouldn’t have been as shocked. However, Su Hao did not rely on sheer physical strength but rather on advanced techniques to dissipate the force of the attack, which made it even more alarming.

Transformation Strength, upon reaching this stage, allows a Martial Artist to distribute their Strength Force throughout their body for protection. Even when enduring heavy strikes, the flow of energy on the body’s surface can disperse the originally concentrated force, achieving Transformation Strength, dissipating energy, and even using the opponent’s strength against them—using four ounces to deflect a thousand pounds!

Su Hao utilized this technique of Transformation Strength to neutralize and resolve Li Shuqing’s punch effortlessly, as if it were a light breeze.

“Transformation Strength… This person is a Martial Artist who has mastered Transformation Strength?”

Li Shuqing felt a chill run down his spine, his heart racing with fear and astonishment.

Li Shuqing was a martial practitioner with considerable talent; he had reached the level of second-stage Refining Strength and mastered Inner Energy, yet he was completely unable to grasp a higher realm!

Refining Strength, Forging Bones, Transforming Tendon, Cleansing Marrow.

Forging Bones, simply put, as long as one successfully refines their body through Refining Strength, even if it’s only at the first stage, with sufficient resources and time to hone their skills, they will ultimately succeed. However, refining their body through Strength is the threshold of martial arts, the foundation, and it relies more on talent and comprehension; otherwise, if one cannot learn it, they simply cannot.

The man in black before him was likely a Master who had completed third-stage Refining Strength and mastered Transformation Strength—something Li Shuqing had never encountered before.

“What was that noise? An intruder?”

“It’s the Gang Master’s training room… Hurry to check it out!”

The commotion caused by the brief confrontation between the two had caught the attention of other disciples at the Black Snake Gang’s stronghold, who rushed over to investigate.

“Stay outside; no one is allowed to enter without my permission!”

Li Shuqing shouted, preventing everyone from coming in.

Upon hearing Li Shuqing’s voice, the Black Snake Gang warriors halted outside, puzzled and uncertain, not understanding what had happened.

Li Shuqing then looked at Su Hao and displayed a warm smile like a spring breeze. “Your strength is truly unfathomable. I admire you greatly. As for the formula we agreed upon earlier, I am willing to hand it over without reservation; I will not go back on my word!”

That brief exchange had made Li Shuqing deeply wary of Su Hao, as the techniques he had showcased seemed to hint at the use of Transformation Strength. Realizing how formidable this man in black was, Li chose to lower his stance, willing to provide the formula for the Bone Refining Elixir without hesitation.

“Mm.” Su Hao nodded slightly.

“Zhou Di, come in for a moment.”

Li Shuqing raised his voice to call out.

“Yes, Gang Master.”

A man answered the summons and swiftly entered the room. He caught sight of Su Hao, whose identity intimidated him, but he dared not question it. He quickly moved to Li Shuqing’s side.

“Yes.”

Li Shuqing quietly instructed him on something, and Zhou Di’s face revealed a hint of astonishment, yet he still obediently nodded in acknowledgment.

Zhou Di then quickly departed, and not long after, he returned to the room holding a small wooden box, which he handed over to Li Shuqing.

Li Shuqing accepted the box and opened it, smiling at Su Hao. “This is the formula for the Bone Refining Elixir you requested. It contains the formula for the Reckless Bull Bone Refining Paste. I hope you will take it. He Zhiyong has often caused me trouble, and I have long warned him that being unaware of danger could lead to his demise. This formula, I ask you to accept it.”

Li Shuqing was unaware of how He Zhiyong had provoked such a master; at this moment, he was simply distancing himself from their conflicts and offering the formula, hoping to dispel any animosity with Su Hao.

Inside the wooden box lay a scroll. Su Hao accepted it without inspecting it closely. He trusted that Li Shuqing was a clever man who wouldn’t tamper with the formula.

“Then, Gang Master Li, let’s part ways here.”

With Li Shuqing willingly providing the formula, Su Hao had no desire for a life-and-death struggle; he had achieved his goal and was ready to leave with the formula.

As soon as he finished speaking, without waiting for Li Shuqing to bid him farewell, Su Hao’s figure flickered, leaving behind a residual shadow. He leaped over the tall courtyard wall as if it were nothing, disappearing into the night. This display of lightness and skill made Li Shuqing’s eyelid twitch slightly.

“Who on earth is this person? To cultivate Transformation Strength… Such innate talent and comprehension are truly terrifying. And yet, someone like him still seeks the formula for the Bone Refining Elixir. Has he not even begun the process of Forging Bones?””It is not impossible that he will come looking for me, perhaps someone from Crouching Tiger Town. Crouching Tiger Town… truly a place where dragons lie hidden and tigers crouch!”

Li Shuqing sighed in relief; he hadn’t turned an enemy into a mortal foe but instead resolved their grievances. Still, he couldn’t help but ponder who this master really was.

No matter how much Li Shuqing imagined, the remarkable master in his eyes was merely a small blacksmith from a blacksmith shop whom he had met before but had completely overlooked and paid no attention to.

“Now that I have the formula for the Bone Refining Elixir, there are quite a few rare herbs listed. I can head to the Black Market later to procure the necessary materials and see how effective it turns out to be. Additionally, I can swap for a couple more secret books to continue my studies.”

In the small courtyard where Su Hao lived, he had already taken off his night gear. Bathed in moonlight by the window, he examined the prescription he had just acquired. Having successfully obtained what he sought, he felt quite content.

Su Hao’s current goal was to engage in Forging Bones and to study more martial arts. Not only would this enhance his potential, but learning multiple martial arts would also deepen his martial wisdom and foundation, allowing him to refine his strength to a more profound and intricate level!

The next day during his rest period, Su Hao ventured out to gather the materials for the Reckless Bull Bone Refining Paste and to obtain a copy of Bewildering Trace Fist. He bartered with a merchant at the Black Market selling secret books, trading one for two, just as before.

He received two books: one was the leg technique Twelve Stances Tan Leg, and the other was the palm technique Soft Cloud Palm.

Twelve Stances Tan Leg relied solely on legs to strike, making use of immense power and speed like lightning; it could even deal with a group of attackers with ease.

As for Soft Cloud Palm, true to its name, it was soft as clouds, capable of overcoming hardness with softness while also being unpredictable, blending gentleness with strength!

Any single one of these martial arts would be enough for an ordinary person to dedicate a lifetime to mastering. However, for Su Hao, who possessed unparalleled potential and had honed multiple martial arts to perfection, cultivating them and achieving mastery within a few months was entirely feasible!

In the evening, by a medicine stove, Su Hao finished his training in fists. Taking advantage of his blood boiling and fatigued body, he opened the stove, revealing a thick paste that had been simmering for a long time.

“This batch of Reckless Bull Bone Refining Paste cost ten taels of silver. Let’s see how effective it is.”

Wiping the sweat from his brow, Su Hao disrobed and carefully applied the paste evenly across his body according to the instructions on the prescription.

The paste felt cool against his skin. Su Hao sat cross-legged, channeling his internal energy and strength to begin refining the medicinal power within.

Huff!

Su Hao could feel his pores opening up, with waves of medicine penetrating into his bones through muscle and skin. The “strength force” densely packed throughout his skeleton began to refine it, transforming it into energy that would promote bone growth!
