Chapter 239: Chapter 110: The First Person in History! Longevity Substance

And with that.

The 51 bones of his torso, 64 bones of his upper limbs, and 62 bones of his lower limbs had all reached the Perfection stage of Refinement!

The bones throughout his body hummed in unison, emitting a faint but clear resonance.

Third Grade Perfection, achieved!

’All the bones in my lower limbs have completed their Refinement, without a trace of sluggishness!’

A wave of ecstasy washed over Lin Yi. He unconsciously clenched his fists, his knuckles cracking with a series of sharp POPS.

’Now when I use the Thunder Light Step, my movements will be truly fluid and flawless. The force of the Thunder will be completely seamless!’

Previously, although he had cultivated the Thunder Light Step to the Control Realm and even comprehended the Thunder Light Intent, the bones of his lower limbs had not completed their Refinement. This meant that every time he activated the Body Technique, he would feel a slight stagnation as his Qi and Blood surged to critical points. It was like a high-speed war chariot suddenly hitting gravel—it didn’t affect the overall outcome, but it was never quite perfect.

But now, this final, imperceptible flaw had finally been completely mended!

Absolutely flawless!

Lin Yi rose to his feet and stretched, his joints letting out a series of pops like crackling soybeans.

He slowly assumed a stance and performed a few basic boxing forms.

Every punch and every kick generated a faint pressure in the air.

Within his body, surging Qi and Blood coursed through his meridians, bringing with it an unparalleled sense of power.

It made his heart surge with emotion and heroic spirit.

[Qi and Blood]: 1378/1378!

[Bone Tempering]: 177 (100%), 29 (0%)!

Lin Yi’s spirits lifted as he looked at his status panel.

Of the 206 bones in his body, only the 29 most critical skull bones remained unrefined!

Meanwhile, his total Qi and Blood had reached a staggering 1378 Cal, which could only be described as terrifying!

’Coincidentally, my Mosquito Avatar has just locked onto a lone Demon Beast...’

Lin Yi’s thoughts raced, his gaze as sharp as a blade.

’Why not take this opportunity to try and break through to the Refinement of the skull bones?’

If he could successfully refine even one of the 29 skull bones, he would officially open the door to becoming a Fourth-Grade Martial Artist and step into a whole new realm!

Once the thought took root, it spread like a wildfire, impossible to contain.

Meanwhile.

Deep within the Taihang Mountain Range, ancient trees towered into the sky, and a faint demonic aura lingered in the air.

A goat-like Demon Beast, its body the size of a small calf and its horns glinting with a cold, metallic light, was currently grazing with its head lowered.

It was completely unaware that the Mosquito Avatar was hovering silently above its back, which was covered in coarse bristles.

With a single thought from Lin Yi!

SHINK!

The mosquito’s proboscis, which appeared delicate but was in fact several times sharper than refined steel, instantly pierced the Demon Beast’s tough hide and accurately plunged into one of its thick blood vessels!

’Bloodsucking Skill, activate!’

In an instant.

Pure Qi and Blood surged into the Mosquito Avatar’s body, then traveled across space through a mystical connection, transferring into Lin Yi’s own body.

A vast wave of energy instantly filled his entire being.

Without a moment’s hesitation, Lin Yi focused his mind and carefully guided this feedback of pure Qi and Blood toward his head.

’The head is the nexus of all yang and the brain is of paramount importance—and incredibly fragile.’

Lin Yi’s thoughts raced, and he proceeded with extreme caution.

’Refining the skull bones can’t be a brute-force breakthrough like it was for my limbs and torso. I must tread on thin ice, using gentle permeation... I’ll start with the relatively safe mandible!’

The 29 cranial bones had an intricate and complex structure.

There were the 8 neurocranial bones that protected the brain, the 6 auditory ossicles that transmitted sound, and the 15 viscerocranial bones that formed the face.

The neurocranial bones were right next to the brain; the slightest mistake would lead to irreversible doom, so Lin Yi naturally didn’t dare to be reckless on his first attempt.

The auditory ossicles were too delicate and fragile, making them a poor first choice as well.

Thus, the mandible—the sturdiest of the facial bones and one that was relatively easy to heal even if damaged—became his ideal testing ground.

Focusing his will, Lin Yi held his breath and concentrated his spirit.

He meticulously controlled the flow of pure Qi and Blood, making it act like countless microscopic tentacles of energy, gently enveloping and permeating his mandible.

"Huh?"

However, the instant the Qi and Blood touched the surface of his mandible, Lin Yi’s heart sank!

Something was wrong!

The docile Qi and Blood Energy was acting as if it had hit an invisible, incredibly tough membrane. No matter how he tried to push it, he couldn’t get it to permeate the mandible in the slightest!

He was actually unable to use Qi and Blood to refine this bone!

’What’s going on?!’

Lin Yi’s brow furrowed instantly, a sense of shocked disbelief welling up inside him.

His other 177 bones had all reached the Perfection realm through Qi and Blood Refinement!

How could it be that when it came to the skull bones, Qi and Blood was completely ineffective?

His mind raced.

Two possible theories instantly took shape—

First, the quality of his Qi and Blood was insufficient!

The Mosquito Avatar was currently only at the First Grade Realm, and it was only hunting First Grade Demon Beasts.

The essence of the Qi and Blood from these Low-tier Demon Beasts was of too poor a quality. Perhaps it was no longer helpful for the bone Refinement of the Fourth Grade Realm.

The second theory was that the Refinement of the skull bones was fundamentally different!

Perhaps it couldn’t be completed merely by scouring and nourishing them with Qi and Blood. It was very likely that it required the participation of some higher-level, more specialized energy!

’If it’s the first reason...’

Lin Yi’s eyes narrowed slightly as he quickly analyzed the situation.

’Then it’s not a huge problem!’

The Mosquito Avatar’s leveling mechanism was just like killing monsters in a game!

Hunting low-level Demon Beasts gave pitifully few Experience Points; hunting same-level Demon Beasts gave generous Experience Points; and if it could kill higher-level Demon Beasts, the Experience Points would be massive!

Lin Yi had now reached Third Grade Perfection, and his strength was comparable to that of an ordinary Fourth-Grade Martial Artist!

He could absolutely go deep into Taihang Mountain himself, suppress, and even capture some powerful Third Grade Demon Beasts alive!

Then, he could let the Mosquito Avatar deliver the finishing blow!

That way, in the shortest possible time, the Mosquito Avatar could reap high-level Experience Packs and level up rapidly!
