Fu Juemin stood barefoot, steady on the edge of the medicine pool.
It was as if his entire body had shrunk. After Blood Refining, he had become burly and imposing from frantically replenishing his Qi Blood, but now his figure had become lean and well-proportioned again.
Not only that, but his skin had also turned much fairer. His eyes were even clearer and brighter, his pupils as dark as lotus seeds.
--[Fu Juemin]--
[Attack: 18 | Defense: 13 | Life: 6 | Mana: 0]
[Cultivation Techniques: Mixed Element Stance (Master Level: Life +1), Ming Fist (Entry Level: Attack +1), Eight Extremes Bone Forging Skill (Great Success: Attack +6, Defense +6), Five Elements Tongbei Fist (Entry Level: Attack +2), Iron Armor Technique (Entry Level: Defense +2), Pharmacist Buddha’s Glazed Body (Entry Level: Life +2, Defense +2)]
[Talents: Soft Bone, Yao Ling]
After so many twists and turns, he had finally reached the Entry Level for Pharmacist Buddha’s Glazed Body.
Fu Juemin was in high spirits. The pent-up frustration that had been weighing on his mind was completely gone, leaving him feeling refreshed and invigorated from head to toe.
’It’s just that the bonus attributes from the Entry Level of Pharmacist Buddha’s Glazed Body aren’t very high...’
Fu Juemin frowned slightly as he looked at his character panel.
In terms of numbers, it was only double what the Entry Level of the Eight Extremes Bone Forging Skill had provided.
However, the 2 points of Defense from the Entry Level Pharmacist Buddha’s Glazed Body hadn’t been overwritten by other techniques. Moreover, the other 2 points were added to the rarest attribute: [Life].
’If I’d known that Martial Arts that add to [Life] were so rare, I would have put all my saved Attribute Points into [Life] back then...’
Fu Juemin regretted the first two Attribute Points he had spent on [Attack].
But a glance at the Blue Energy Slot below showed it was almost full again. If he could keep up this pace, it wasn’t worth fussing over.
Without much hesitation, Fu Juemin continued allocating points. He immediately spent the Skill Point he had saved from killing the Merciful Rat Demon on [Pharmacist Buddha’s Glazed Body].
He had waited so long for this very moment!
The golden "+" behind [Pharmacist Buddha’s Glazed Body] vanished. The original two words "Entry Level" quickly changed to "Master Level."
In an instant, a massive torrent of memories flooded his mind.
Countless images flickered one after another—
In every scene, Fu Juemin was practicing the movements from the five "Pharmacist Master Purification Diagrams" over and over again.
There were also the many Profound Buddhist Teachings contained within the Pharmacist Buddha Sutra.
Fu Juemin felt his whole body tense as he once again heard a strange sound from within.
It was different from the last time.
The last sound was like a chick breaking out of its shell. This time... it was like lotus petals blooming, one by one, unfurling in sequence.
Fu Juemin stumbled unconsciously into the water. All the pores on his body opened wide, and a large amount of filthy fluid seeped out like a torrent of sweat.
As the steam rose from the pool...
The rotten-egg stench in the room instantly grew stronger, completely overpowering the last lingering scent of herbs.
"SPLASH—"
When the transformation was complete, Fu Juemin plunged into the water, swam a deep lap, and emerged at the pool’s edge.
He stood on the edge of the pool, his eyes still closed.
Beneath his eyelids, his eyeballs darted back and forth rapidly.
After several breaths, Fu Juemin’s eyes snapped open. He formed a Hand Blade, his arm driving his body as he chopped forward with a palm strike that seemed slow but was deceptively fast!
In that instant, all the steam filling the medicated bathhouse was set into motion by his Hand Blade strike.
The air around where Fu Juemin stood seemed to collapse inward. All the steam in the room flowed toward a single point, forming a small, fan-shaped funnel.
The vapor surged, and a faint, jade-like light seemed to flash in the air, a truly strange sight. free𝑤ebnovel.com
The strike landed. Fu Juemin watched the swirling mass of steam before him slowly dissipate, then looked down at his right hand with a peculiar expression.
He murmured to himself.
"Glazed... Pure Radiance."
He opened the character panel. As expected, under the Cultivation Techniques section, the words—[Pharmacist Master Purifying Light Saber (Entry Level: Attack +5)]—had appeared.
During the process of advancing [Pharmacist Buddha’s Glazed Body] to "Master Level," he had instantly comprehended a vast amount of Buddhist Teachings.
One breakthrough led to another. He had also reached the Entry Level for the [Pharmacist Master Purifying Light Saber], a skill he had been stuck on for a long time and had no idea when he would master.
And the "Glazed Pure Radiance Slash" he had just performed was the first lethal technique recorded in the [Pharmacist Master Purifying Light Saber].
’Just Entry Level, and it adds a full 5 points to [Attack]... Tsk tsk...’
Unable to hide the joy on his face, Fu Juemin couldn’t help but marvel at the powerful bonus from the [Pharmacist Master Purifying Light Saber].
But when he glanced at his current [Attack] attribute, he found it had only increased by 1 point.
Fu Juemin was a bit confused at first, but after a moment’s thought, he quickly understood the trick to it.
’It seems that out of these 5 [Attack] points, only 1 point has been integrated into my existing fighting style as a technique bonus.
The remaining 4 points are ’hidden’ and will only manifest when I use a Hand Blade or short blade to perform the [Glazed Pure Radiance Slash]...’
Since bonus attributes from Martial Arts could be "overwritten," it made perfect sense that they could also be "hidden."
Looking again at the attribute bonuses from the Master Level [Pharmacist Buddha’s Glazed Body]—(Master Level: Life +5, Defense +5).
Both attributes had increased by a full 3 points compared to the Entry Level!
In other words, from this one technique alone, he had gained a bonus of a full 5 points to [Life] and 5 points to [Defense]!
’No wonder I feel completely reborn!’
Fu Juemin looked at his hands and saw that the calluses formed by the Great Success Level [Eight Extremes Bone Forging Skill] had all vanished. His palms had returned to the delicate, smooth state they were in back when he was a Young Master.
But his skin hadn’t become fragile. On the contrary, it was even tougher and more resilient than when it had been callused.
The same was true for the rest of his body. His entire physique had returned to a slender and well-proportioned state, somewhat similar to Cao Tian’s build.
But the muscles he had painstakingly cultivated hadn’t abandoned him. Instead, it was as if they had been harmonized and refined by some mysterious force, revealing a sculpted, chiseled aesthetic.
His skin tone had also become an ivory, jade-like white. Under the dim light of the bathhouse, it seemed to glow with a faint, jade-like luster, giving him an increasingly noble air.
But as for its toughness, even without testing, he knew it was far superior to before.
’Truly worthy of being a top-tier Iron Body Strange Skill from the Martial Arts world of the former dynasty...’
Fu Juemin exhaled and found his breath to be unbelievably fresh and natural.
His internal organs felt as if they had been washed clean with water, becoming immeasurably stronger and purer.
There were too many changes to count, many of them subtle, and Fu Juemin himself would have struggled to describe them all.
If he were to use the professional terminology from the [Pharmacist Buddha’s Glazed Body] secret manual, he should now have reached the so-called realm of "Purity."
"Song Lin."
After he finished comprehending the changes in himself, Fu Juemin couldn’t help but murmur this name.
At this moment, Fu Juemin’s mind was crystal clear. All his previous worries and distracting thoughts, like withered branches, dead leaves, and rotting vines entwined around his spirit, had been completely uprooted.
He knew with absolute clarity and certainty what he needed to do now, and how to do it.
Comet Sword Evil Slayer.
Purifying Body and Mind.
Fu Juemin walked calmly out of the medicated bathhouse and made his way back to his third-floor bedroom.
He sat down on the floor of his room, faced the window, and sat in quiet meditation with his eyes closed.
As the night deepened, moonlight streamed in.
As if struck by inspiration, Fu Juemin opened his eyes.
He rose silently and, with practiced movements, retrieved a set of dark, close-fitting clothes and a pair of layered-sole cloth shoes from the bottom of his wardrobe, dressing quickly.
’They’re a little loose again...’ frёewebηovel.cѳm
Fu Juemin couldn’t help but mutter to himself as he tied his pant legs an extra two times around.
Once fully dressed, he armed himself with a revolver and a short blade.
He walked to the window and leaped out as silently as a bat, landing softly on a parasol tree in front of the residence without making the slightest sound.
For some time now.....
He had done this almost every night.
Every night, he would go out to do the same thing.
