My Cultivation Starting from Archery

Time passes like this, without cessation, day and night.

Ten days flew by in a flash.

Every morning, Chen Sansi pretended to go hunting in the mountains, when in fact, he was boiling concoctions and brewing medicine.

Upon returning, he would ask Sun Buqi to accompany him in spear training.

Moreover, with the addition of Spiritual Grain as aid.

The breakthrough was only one step away.

This was even after he intentionally slowed down the progress for two days due to concerns about poisoning in the meridians; otherwise, it would have been quicker.

On the Martial Arts Arena.

Chen Sansi and Sun Buqi were sparring for the countless time.

But today.

Sun Buqi's complexion looked somewhat unpleasant.

He sensed something was amiss.

Every other day, Chen Sansi's spear technique would improve slightly from before.

At first, he was barely able to hold his ground.

Gradually, it turned into barely hanging on.

And then it became impossible to resist.

It wasn't just the power, even the unique swiftness of the Flying Snake Spear Technique no longer held any advantage, and he was even beginning to fall behind.

"How were you able to enhance the Undying Golden Snake Spear to such an extent?"

Sun Buqi was astonished, "It must be due to the Nine Dragon Body, but junior brother, your understanding must also be remarkably high!"

Another ten rounds passed.

Sun Buqi was dizzy and weak, his Qi-Blood declining, barely able to hold on.

"Bu Qi, hold on a little longer."

Sun Li, who had been practicing with a blade beside them, stopped her movements and said to him, "The junior brother is about to make a breakthrough."

"Breakthrough?!"

Sun Buqi paused for a moment, then clenched his teeth, exerting all his strength desperately.

On the Martial Arts Arena, two long spears clashed like two giant battling snakes, hissing and thundering continuously, causing no one to dare approach within a hundred meters.

Chen Sansi no longer maintained the balance, unleashing all his skills; his reed leaf spear became increasingly heavier, faster, and the variations in his moves became more agile, even bordering on eerie.

In the end, the long spear seemed to possess its own life; it didn't require him to think at all and would automatically launch fierce attacks at the opponent until it found the right opportunity to knock down the other giant snake.

At the same time.

The bones nourished by the Dragon Elephant Blood and Nine Dragon Living Veins underwent a qualitative change.

[Cultivation Technique: Undying Golden Snake Spear. Upper (Mastery)]

[Progress: 0/1000]

[Utility: Dragon Elephant Blood, Nine Dragon Tendons, Innate Vajra]

[Innate Vajra: Tempering the bones into iron, training the skin into copper; when reaching Great Success, one's body will be indestructible as Vajra.]

Common Bone Training usually relies on Abnormal Bone and Xuan Skin.

The Copper Skin Iron Bone is probably something only those with the Innate Vajra Body can possess.

'Did I really turn into such a hodgepodge?'

Dragon Elephant Blood, Nine Dragon Tendons, and now the Vajra Body.

Chen Sansi felt the strength in his bones.

Even though he hadn't achieved the Iron Bone level yet, they were definitely tough enough to withstand being chopped by a blade or pierced by an axe; even if attacked from both front and rear, the error tolerance would be significantly high.

"Mastering Bone Training in three months."

Sun Buqi was knocked down by the suddenly surged terrifying force and naturally knew the opponent had succeeded in the breakthrough.

He stood up, "As long as your ability to lead troops is passable, you will definitely become a Main General of a regiment in the future!"

"Thank you, senior brother Bu Qi, for sparring with me for so many days."

Chen Sansi knew that it wasn't an easy task.

"Why be so polite?"

Sun Buqi waved his hand, "But I won't be able to keep up with you in the future."

"Then, Senior Sister Sun will have to take over the hard work."

Chen Sansi cheekily stated.

"Hah, you're not at all shy about asking for help."

Sun Li holding her blade responded, "Let's talk when I'm free, I've got things to do."

Chen Sansi knew they were still investigating the matter regarding the Immortal Treasure.

Even the Magistrate, the Lord Prefect, and Xiang Tingchun were looking into it.

Lately, Po Yang County seemed calm on the surface, but danger lurked underneath, ready to erupt at any moment.

Every faction would not give up the search for the Immortal Treasure easily.

Leaving aside whether it was truly possible to refine Immortal Pills.

The mere fact that the Abnormal Fire could accelerate cultivation using Spiritual Grain was enough to drive people mad.

Take the Barbarians as an example.

Why have they not been able to invade the Central Plains for a thousand years?

Isn't it because of the scarcity of resources resulting in fewer High-level Martial Artists than in Dasheng?

But the arrival of Spiritual Grain completely compensates for this.

Spiritual Grain matures twice a year and can be found everywhere.

It's virtually cost-free.

The Barbarians would have no difficulty obtaining it.

With the Immortal Treasure, they would be able to mass-produce high-level martial artists; given enough time, they will inevitably surpass the Central Plains in terms of martial force one day.

In other words,

whoever possesses an Immortal Treasure can create a formidable, ferocious army.

That includes Chen Sansi himself.

Of course, he is currently not qualified to use it.

Both Emperor Dasheng and the Barbarians possess the greatest combat power of this age.

A common man is not guilty; possessing a jade makes him guilty.

To legitimately own a treasure, what's most needed is strength that matches it.

Otherwise, you're courting death.

"Sister, I really don't know where to start my investigation,"

Sun Buqi said gloomily, "Although lately the Martial Arts Hall has been in frequent contact with the Magistrate, it's quite normal for the local powers to pay tribute to the new official."

The Martial Arts Hall and the Magistrate?

Are these two colluding?

It's also possible that the Magistrate is investigating the Martial Arts Hall.

'It has nothing to do with me.'

Even though Chen Sansi wasn't included in the conversation, he didn't interject.

After the siblings had left,

a man in black clothing who had been watching from a distance finally found an opportunity and approached with a smile, "Congratulations to Officer Chen on another breakthrough in your Martial Arts Realm! With such talent, your future is boundlessly promising."

The guard of Ji Guangxian?

Chen Sansi recognized him.

The man in black introduced himself, "I am Dan Yuanzhi, we should have met before."

"What does Dan Guard want with me?"

Chen Sansi spoke calmly.

"The last time Magistrate Ji had some things he did not clarify."

Dan Yuanzhi argued, "Lord Prefect's intent was not for you to follow him for life, but to be your patron. After your Refining Internal Organs, he directly recommends you to the Crown Prince."

"The Crown Prince?"

Before Chen Sansi could reply,

"Why must Officer Chen insist on clinging solely to Governor Mansion?"

Dan Yuanzhi continued, "We practice Martial Arts for a splendid future, right?

"But do you know that Sun Dushi is getting old?

"If something unexpected happens to Lord Governor and he has made many enemies at court, how will you, being closely associated with him, cope?

"It would be better to switch allegiances early and find a reliable backer."

Clearly,

this was a change in Ji Guangxian's attitude towards him.

When the hard approach didn't work, he was ready to try a softer one.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

"Dan Guard's words are not proper,"

Chen Sansi casually thought of an official-sounding response to fend him off, "I joined Governor Mansion, not to seek a backer, but to serve the court."

"Serve the court, well said!"

Dan Yuanzhi questioned, "Who sits above the court?"

"Naturally, it's the Holy Emperor," Chen Sansi said.

"Correct, it's the Holy Emperor."

Dan Yuanzhi lowered his voice, "But the Holy Emperor is of advanced age. If he passes away, who then will sit above the court?

"Therefore, only by pledging allegiance to His Highness early can one rapidly ascend to high positions."

"Pass away?"

Chen Sansi deliberately raised his voice, "How can Dan Guard speak such nonsense? The Emperor is Emperor Wan Shou, an Immortal by nature, how can there be talk of his demise?"

Emperor Wan Shou, an Immortal by nature.

These are titles the Old Emperor gave to himself.

He said this

partly to scare Dan Yuanzhi,

and partly because it's hard to say.

The Immortal Treasure proves the existence of Immortal Trace.

The Old Emperor has been striving for so many years; he must have gained something, right?

This Supervisor of four decades, the Crown Prince, probably has to endure a few more years.

"You..."

Dan Yuanzhi was startled, his heart trembling, thankful that there was no one nearby.

He was somewhat annoyed, "If that is the case, there's no need for further discussion! In fact, Lord Prefect was prepared to present you with a secret medicine, but it seems, there is no need for that now."

"Secret medicine?"

Chen Sansi's eyes lit up, "What kind of secret medicine?"

'Indeed, what truly attracts Martial Artists are things that improve their Cultivation.'

Dan Yuanzhi felt hopeful, hastily said, "Magistrate Ji's ancestors made a fortune from the medicinal herb business, and he possesses an exclusive secret medicine recipe. It was by offering this recipe that he caught the attention of Mr. Gao from the Cabinet. He will be transferred to the Capital City in a couple of years, which shows how precious this recipe is. But, Lord Prefect said, as long as you agree, you'll have enough of it!"

"Empty promises prove nothing."

Chen Sansi said, "How about this, you brew a dose first and let me try it.

"If this medicine is really as powerful as Dan Guard says, there's no harm in considering a change of allegiance later."

"Fine!"

Dan Yuanzhi agreed at once.
