Chapter 16: Tempering the Bones and Breaking Through Bone Forging!

"Comprehension increased by 6, and the Sixfold Blood Strengthening Technique has actually reached the sixth level?"

For the perfected Sixfold Blood Strengthening Technique, Lu Changsheng had actually anticipated it to some extent. It was just a bit earlier than he had estimated.

However, the fact that the Sixfold Blood Strengthening Technique was judged by the panel as a sixth-grade martial art truly surprised Lu Changsheng. He only knew that the Sixfold Blood Strengthening Technique was a superior martial art, far from ordinary.

Afterward, Lu Changsheng began to check the attribute panel.

Host: Lu Changsheng

Comprehension: 211 (considerable potential)

Sixfold Blood Strengthening Technique: Sixth-level perfected

Seeing 211 points of comprehension on the attribute panel, Lu Changsheng couldn't feel too happy. It had been two months, and without the second-grade martial technique, his comprehension had hardly increased.

"My vitality and blood have already spread throughout my body, almost reaching the limit."

"In the Blood Strengthening Realm, I can confidently enter the Bone Forging Realm."

Lu Changsheng took out a manual from the hidden box, which turned out to be the Bull's Body Forging Technique. In fact, Lu Changsheng had met the conditions for practicing the Bull's Body Forging Technique a long time ago, but he didn't practice it. He was waiting for the Sixfold Blood Strengthening Technique to be perfected. Now that it was perfected, and there was no more room for improvement in his vitality and blood, he could naturally practice the Bull's Body Forging Technique.

"Bone forging is essentially using vitality and blood to temper the bones."

"Bones may appear very tough, but in reality, they are also quite fragile."

"They need to be repeatedly tempered from the inside out with vitality and blood."

Lu Changsheng was already very knowledgeable about the basics of bone forging. He carefully read through the Bull's Body Forging Technique and immediately remembered it clearly.

"Let's begin."

Lu Changsheng mobilized his vitality and blood and began to temper his bones following the method of the Bull's Body Forging Technique.

"Boom."

The first time he tempered his bones, Lu Changsheng felt a lot of pain, but he endured it and continued to temper them bit by bit. Due to his strong comprehension, he had a deep understanding of the bone-tempering technique of the Bull's Body Forging Technique. He seemed very skilled from the beginning, and the efficiency of bone tempering was quite high. However, even so, it would take at least ten days to completely temper all the bones. After all, the human body had many bones, and it took time to thoroughly temper them all.

About two hours later, Lu Changsheng felt a bit tired and stopped. He concentrated and checked the attribute panel.

Host: Lu Changsheng Comprehension: 211 (considerable potential) Bull's Body Forging Technique: First level

Lu Changsheng hadn't completed one round of bone tempering yet. However, even so, Lu Changsheng, who had entered the Bone Forging Realm, clearly felt that his strength, defense, and stamina had greatly increased. Far surpassing the Blood Strengthening Realm!

"No wonder they say there are three levels in tempering the body, with each level being a whole new realm."

"The Bone Forging Realm, even if it's just the initial stage of bone forging, is far superior in physical quality to warriors in the Blood Strengthening Realm."

Lu Changsheng felt very satisfied.

Soon, a night passed.

On the second day, Master Liu proactively found Lu Changsheng, with a hint of a smile on his face.

"Changsheng, everything is settled."

"Doctor Wu Jing has agreed to take you as his disciple."

"But formalities must not be neglected. Wu Jing values etiquette the most. If you want to become his disciple, you must perform a formal apprenticeship ceremony."

Lu Changsheng felt happy inside and nodded, saying, "Of course, I appreciate your efforts, Master Liu."

"Well, let's go see Wu Jing now and formally become his disciple."

Under Master Liu's guidance, Lu Changsheng arrived at a pharmacy under the Miaoshou Garden. Inside, there was a sixty-year-old man who was slightly hunched, but he looked energetic, and his vitality was robust. He spoke with a strong voice.

"Wu Jing, I've brought you someone."

Master Liu directly addressed the sixty-year-old man.

The two of them seemed very familiar. Wu Jing glanced at Master Liu and then turned his gaze to Lu Changsheng.

"Old man Liu, is this the young genius you were talking about, who memorized the entire medical scripture in just a few months?"

"Yes, if you don't believe it, you can test him."

But Wu Jing waved his hand and said, "No need, Old Man Liu, it's rare for you to praise a junior like this. Why would I need to test him?"

"Lu Changsheng, right? You're the one recommended by Old Man Liu. I'll accept you as my disciple."

"But if you prove to be incompetent, I can kick you out at any time. When that happens, go back to being a pharmacist, do you understand?"

Lu Changsheng nodded and said, "I understand, Master."

In fact, Lu Changsheng was a bit surprised. This Doctor Wu Jing was indeed as rumored, with a rather difficult temperament. To be kicked out by his own master, that was indeed peculiar.

However, Lu Changsheng wasn't worried. With a comprehension score as high as 211, why would Doctor Wu Jing be dissatisfied?

So, Lu Changsheng served tea, bowed, and performed the formal apprenticeship ceremony, officially becoming the disciple of the renowned physician, Wu Jing. This wasn't just an apprenticeship; it was a discipleship. Apprentices were assigned by the Miaoshou Garden, but disciples could inherit the mantle. There was a fundamental difference between the two.

Wu Jing had apprentices, and he even had more than one. However, Lu Changsheng was the only disciple.

After Master Liu left, Lu Changsheng stayed by Wu Jing's side. Wu Jing's apprentices weren't particularly friendly toward Lu Changsheng. After all, they had been hoping to become Wu Jing's disciples and master his skills, but now, Lu Changsheng had suddenly become his disciple. They couldn't be pleased about it.

However, Lu Changsheng didn't mind. He was with Wu Jing solely to learn medicine, and he had no interest in getting involved in the competition among the apprentices.

In the following days, Lu Changsheng would spend his days assisting Wu Jing in the pharmacy, learning medical skills. With his astonishing comprehension, he could already discern some of the subtleties in medical theory and diagnosis in just a few days. In a short time, Wu Jing was very satisfied with his progress and began to teach him medical skills.

However, medical skills were vast and profound. Even with Lu Changsheng's high comprehension, he couldn't learn them in just a few days. Nevertheless, with Wu Jing personally instructing him, Lu Changsheng's medical skills were rapidly improving.

Over a month passed in the blink of an eye.

One day, Lu Changsheng went to the pharmacy as usual, preparing to assist Wu Jing. However, there was suddenly a hurried rush of footsteps outside.

"Hurry, find Doctor Wu, someone's internal organs are injured, and their life is in danger!"

"Where is Doctor Wu?"

"Hurry, save them..."

Dozens of people suddenly rushed into the pharmacy, almost filling it to the brim. These people were carrying injured individuals, all of them pale, with their lives hanging by a thread.

"What's going on?"

Lu Changsheng's heart trembled.

"Miaoshou Garden was attacked."

"Those damned thieves are incredibly audacious. After robbing a pharmacy last time, they didn't stop. They actually raided Miaoshou Garden!"

"Apprentices, pharmacists, doctors, even the guards, many of them are dead. Even the family head was injured. Blood flowed like a river throughout Miaoshou Garden!"

"Those damned thieves..."

Inside the pharmacy, there were cries and sobbing everywhere.

Lu Changsheng's heart sank.

Miaoshou Garden had been raided? Miaoshou Garden had a formidable Refined Organ warrior in residence. How could those thieves dare to attack?

"What about Master Liu? How is Master Liu?"

Lu Changsheng immediately asked. He remembered that Master Liu was in Miaoshou Garden.

"Why are you making so much noise?"

"Get all the injured people out."

"Changsheng, what are you waiting for? Quickly check the injuries..."

Wu Jing arrived and quickly calmed the situation.

Lu Changsheng took a deep breath and had to calm his emotions first. He helped his master treat the injured patients.

However, he was still worried about Master Liu deep down.
