Chapter 4: Phantom Body Movement

"It hurts so much. It seems that it is still a bit difficult to use the Phantom Body Skill with this body."

In the room, Chu Fengmian was lying on the bed, feeling a pain that was close to paralysis in his legs. He pressed his legs and muttered to himself.

Chu Fengmian's current realm is just that he has just opened up the first spiritual vein and stepped into the first level of the Bone Tempering Realm.

In terms of strength, Cao Dahai is still better than Chu Fengmian. Chu Fengmian was able to defeat Chu Fengmian just now with the help of this other kind of power.

Body Skill.

This body skill is extremely rare in the Wusheng Kingdom. The huge Lin Mansion only has one Light Body Skill, which is ranked as the lower grade of the yellow level.

Even this Light Body Skill is still regarded as the top priority by the Lin Mansion. Only genius disciples can practice it.

Chu Fengmian, who was unable to practice in his previous life, had read countless books on the masters of the sword. The body movement he had just used was the one he had once learned, a lower-grade body movement called the Phantom Body Movement.

Whether it was martial arts, elixirs, body movements, or spells, in this Wusheng country, they were all divided into four levels: heaven, earth, and yellow, which were further divided into four grades: extreme, upper, middle, and lower.

But generally speaking, even the lower-grade yellow is something that ordinary warriors dream of. There was only one middle-grade Xuan-grade martial art in the entire Lin Mansion, which was called the treasure of the mansion.

Chu Fengmian had seen countless martial arts, body movements, and spells in his previous life. His memory was amazing, enough to remember everything he saw. However, Chu Fengmian at that time had no spiritual power at all, and he was just bored and watching. Now that he has been reborn this time, Chu Fengmian finally has the opportunity to use them.

"Although I defeated Cao Dahai with the Phantom Body Technique, I still hurt myself."

Chu Fengmian lowered his head. On his legs, there were obvious bruises. These bruises were left because Chu Fengmian activated the Phantom Body Technique.

Whether it is martial arts, body techniques, or spells, a strong body is required. If the body is not strong enough to activate them, it will cause some damage to the body.

Although the Phantom Body Technique is no longer dependent on the strength of the body, Chu Fengmian is too weak now, and he still paid a certain price for forcing it.

"As long as you step into the third level of the Bone Tempering Realm, you will not suffer any damage when you activate the Phantom Body Technique again. Then, even if you face a warrior of the fifth level of the Bone Tempering Realm, you will be able to defeat him."

Chu Fengmian whispered to himself while searching in the room.

After a while, Chu Fengmian found several jade bottles in a cabinet in the room.

Each of these jade bottles is filled with elixirs.

Each of these elixirs is the size of a longan and is light blue. Once opened, a refreshing spiritual energy will come to your nose.

"A total of 35 bone-hardening pills."

This bone-hardening pill is the lowest-level pill in the outer mansion of the Lin Mansion. It is a pill taken by warriors in the bone-hardening realm for cultivation. It is effective for warriors below the fifth level of the bone-hardening realm.

These 35 bone-hardening pills were accumulated by Chu Fengmian for more than a year.

Although Chu Fengmian is nominally called the chief steward of the outer mansion, in fact, every time the salary is deducted by the people in the outer mansion, less than one-tenth of it will fall into Chu Fengmian's hands.

Thirty-five bone-hardening pills are the limit of Chu Fengmian's accumulation. He is planning to refine these bone-hardening pills after entering the bone-hardening realm.

But he didn't expect that Chu Fengmian would be beaten to death before he entered the bone-hardening realm.

Now that Chu Fengmian has been reborn, these bone-hardening pills can finally be put to good use.

"Refine!"

Chu Fengmian sat cross-legged on the bed, closed his eyes, took out one of the bone-hardening pills, and put it into his mouth.

This bone-hardening pill quickly melted into a stream of refined spiritual power as soon as it entered his mouth, dispersing throughout Chu Fengmian's body.

In his previous life, Chu Fengmian had refined countless pills, not to mention the most common yellow-grade lower-grade spiritual pills, even earth-grade and heaven-grade pills, Chu Fengmian had refined a lot.

In an instant, he had gathered the spiritual power of the bone-hardening pill together, and then all of it was integrated into Chu Fengmian's body.

When refining pills, if you are not experienced enough, you may only absorb 50% or even 40% of the spiritual power, and the rest of the spiritual power will be directly dispersed.

However, for someone like Chu Fengmian who didn't know how many pills he had refined, this small bone-hardening pill was enough to refine in almost an instant.

In less than half a minute, the bone-hardening pill had been completely refined by Chu Fengmian.

Chu Fengmian could feel that his body was stronger than before, and the pain in his leg had obviously improved.

What surprised Chu Fengmian even more was that the second spiritual vein in his body had begun to loosen up a little because of the spiritual power of the bone-hardening pill.

If the second spiritual vein could be opened, Chu Fengmian's strength would have a qualitative leap.

"Continue!"

Chu Fengmian's eyes showed some determination. He picked up another bone-hardening pill and put it into his mouth.

After a few minutes, the bone-hardening pill in front of Chu Fengmian had been refined for the most part. On Chu Fengmian's arm, a golden thread was slowly condensing.

If people saw Chu Fengmian now, they would definitely be shocked. Chu Fengmian's current appearance was exactly what he looked like when he was about to open up his spiritual veins.

Opening up a spiritual vein requires countless resources and the help of strong people.

For example, Lin Yunfeng, the current number one genius of the Lin Mansion, was born with five spiritual veins. Later, in order to make him more talented, the Lin Mansion spent countless wealth to buy two earth-level spiritual pills, the Cold Soul Pill.

It also cost a lot of money to invite two powerful people in the Wind Control Realm to work together to activate the Cold Soul, and only then did they open up Lin Yunfeng's two spiritual veins, allowing his seven spiritual veins to open up at the same time.

But the price paid was enough to make the Lin Mansion breathless for a hundred years. Now the entire Lin Mansion is shrinking its resources, precisely because of this.

And Chu Fengmian, relying on a few bone-hardening pills, is forcibly opening up his own spiritual veins. This is simply unprecedented.

"Not even close!"

Chu Fengmian roared in his mind.

He already felt that this second spiritual vein was almost open, but it was just lacking a little spiritual power.

Chu Fengmian grabbed the remaining eight bone-hardening pills in front of him and put them into his mouth at the same time.

He immediately condensed the spiritual power in them and stabbed towards the second spiritual vein.

The pain of the broken spiritual vein came again, but Chu Fengmian's expression remained unchanged. He let countless beads of sweat drip from his face, and Chu Fengmian still paid full attention to the spiritual vein in his body.

"Bang!"

Suddenly, a sound rang in Chu Fengmian's mind.

After the sound, streams of spiritual energy surged out of Chu Fengmian's body, filling him with strength.

At the same time, the second bright spiritual vein on Chu Fengmian's arm had been lit up.

Seeing this, Chu Fengmian smiled.

"The second spiritual vein is open."
