Chapter 68 Tyrannical Bone Strengthening Pill, Breakthrough is Imminent

. Lu Qing and Doctor Chen stood in front of a small courtyard halfway up the mountain, watching the Wei family members slowly depart.

After a while, Lu Qing said, “Master, this Wei family’s chief steward is truly remarkable.”

Lu Qing truly admired this Wei family chief steward.

When he first met the young master of the Wei family and his performance at the fair, Lu Qing had briefly assumed that the Wei family was a domineering family, prone to bullying.

Otherwise, how could their heir possess such a personality?

But this Wei family chief steward changed Lu Qing’s perception.

No wonder Ma Gu said that the Wei family’s influence extended from the prefectures to the capital.

This chief steward’s methods were a testament to

this. Not to mention the patriarch of the Wei family, who had commanded their submission.

Perhaps this was what it meant to be a truly aristocratic family.

With such a figure at the helm, it was hard not to see the Wei family’s rapid growth.

“To hold the position of Grand Steward in a family as affluent as the Wei family, he’s certainly no ordinary figure,”

the old doctor sighed.

Even he, in his entire life, had rarely encountered anyone like the Wei family’s Grand Steward. He

was so dignified and upright, knowing he was trying to win over their support, yet they couldn’t resist.

“Master, what should we do with all this gold and silver?”

Lu Qing asked, looking at the gold and silver as he returned to the courtyard.

The Wei family’s promise of a gift of ten thousand taels of silver and a thousand taels of gold wasn’t all cash.

Aside from the large box of silver ingots and the small box of gold ingots, the rest had been converted into silver and gold notes and placed in a separate small box.

Even this massive box of gold and silver was enough to dazzle.

It was only because Old Doctor Chen and Lu Qing were extraordinary people; otherwise, any ordinary person would have pounced on all this gold and silver.

“Let’s carry it inside and store it first.”

Old Doctor Chen, unsure of what to do with the items, joined Lu Qing in carrying them inside and storing them.

Lu Qing pondered, looking at the two boxes, large and small, casually placed in the corner of the utility room.

No one would have guessed that these two boxes would hold so much gold and silver.

He placed some miscellaneous items on top of the boxes to weigh them down and walked out.

“Ah Qing, I have something to tell you about that bottle of Bone Strengthening Pills you have,”

the old doctor said sternly as they exited the utility room.

Lu Qing immediately approached his master and listened respectfully.

“The Bone Tempering Pill is indeed a pill coveted by many Muscle and Bones Realm warriors. It can break the limits of Muscle and Bones Realm warriors and expand their foundation and root bone potential.”

“But the medicinal power of this pill is also very overbearing. Even ordinary Muscle and Bones Realm warriors may not be able to withstand its medicinal power.”

“So even if you step into the Muscle and Bones Realm in the future, you must not rush to take and refine this pill. At least you must wait until you have reached the Minor Success in the Muscle and Bones Realm before you can try to refine it.” “

Otherwise, if you take it too early and cannot withstand its medicinal power, your bone marrow, qi and blood will likely burn to death.”

Hearing that taking and refining the Bone Tempering Pill was so dangerous, Lu Qing’s face became very serious: “Yes, Master, I will remember it.”

After giving this instruction, the old doctor waved his hand, “Since you have remembered it, then go back first. You must be tired these days because of this matter of Young Master Wei. Go back and have a good rest. You don’t need to come to my place for help for the next few days.”

“Huh?”

Lu Qing was stunned at first, then he saw the box in his master’s hand and quickly realized what was happening.

His master had just obtained a precious sutra and wanted to study it in seclusion.

He didn’t want to expose his master’s thoughts, but respectfully said, “Yes, Master.”

He also wanted to take some time off to focus on martial arts.

Lately, Lu Qing had been refining a blood-tonifying and qi-invigorating pill daily, and his qi and blood power had increased rapidly.

For the past two days, he had a vague feeling that he was on the verge of a breakthrough.

Taking the thank-you gifts for himself and Xiaoyan, Lu Qing walked down the mountain.

When he returned home, he saw Xiaoyan and Xiaoli playing there.

Ever since Xiaoli came home, Xiaoyan rarely went out because she had such a playmate.

She wanted to play with Xiaoli every day.

As a result, the time she spent playing with her friends in the village became less.

Lu Qing also didn’t want her to hang around in front of Wei, the chief steward, so as not to accidentally reveal Xiaoli’s existence.

So these days, when he went to the small courtyard halfway up the mountain, he always left Xiaoyan at home.

Anyway, Xiaoli was there, and Lu Qing also told Xiaoli to protect Xiaoyan.

This thing is a red light spirit beast.

Unless it encounters a strong man at the level of the inner viscera, ordinary warriors can’t do anything to it.

“Brother, you’re back!”

Xiaoyan, who was playing chess with Xiaoli, shouted immediately when she saw Lu Qing coming back.

Xiaoli also called out to him.

“Well, I’m back.”

Lu Qing put his things back in his room. When he came out, he saw the chessboard on the table and asked, “Who won more today?”

The chessboard was carved from a piece of wood by Lu Qing.

The chess pieces were simple: a box of short wooden sticks and a box of small stones.

As for the chess the two little ones were playing, he had taught them how to play it, the game known as Gobang in their previous life. He

had been teaching them how to play chess one day when Lu Qing was reviewing his medical textbooks. The two little ones kept playing around in the room, making a lot of noise.

It was impossible for him to concentrate on his studies.

Even if he kept them quiet for a while, they would soon start playing again.

To keep them quiet for a while, Lu Qing had an idea: to teach them how to play Gobang.

Gobang wasn’t difficult, and it would also help them develop their thinking skills.

As he expected, the two little ones were immediately fascinated by this new game, and Xiao Li was no exception.

For the past few days, the two little ones had been competing in chess almost every moment they had.

As for winning and losing, it’s a reciprocal affair; the main point is that it’s always a close call.

Sure enough, it was no different this time.

Xiaoyan said happily, “I won more! I won seven games today, while Xiaoli only won six!”

Then Lu Qing saw Xiaoli bark, grab a small stone from the box with his claws, and place it on the board.

Xiaoyan looked at him and immediately became disheartened. “Now we’re even! Xiaoli has won seven games, too.”

Now it was Xiaoli’s turn to be happy, ears tilted back, eyes beaming, tail lifted high.

Lu Qing: …

These two guys have been playing so well lately, constantly making him dizzy, and for good reason.

With their IQs, they’re a perfect match, a pair of unparalleled talents.

He decided to leave them alone and return to the bamboo forest in the back mountain to cultivate.

For the next few days, since he didn’t have to go to the small courtyard halfway up the mountain, Lu Qing stayed inside, concentrating on his cultivation.

Because he felt he was about to break through, he even stopped practicing the Four-sided Blade and focused on practicing the Health-Nourishing Fist to refine his Qi and blood.

Finally, after taking a few more Blood-Replenishing and Qi-Invigorating Pills, he felt the Qi of a breakthrough that morning.
