I can identify everything, but the level is increased by one

Inside the courtyard, snow fell softly.

"Xiaoxue, this is Apothecary Su."

Sun Lianshan crouched down, holding Gu Qianxue's small hand with a warm expression, and extended his palm towards Su Han, introducing them.

Little Gu Qianxue looked at Su Han and shyly greeted him:

"Greetings, Apothecary Su."

"Hello, Xiaoxue. Remember to take your medicine on time, exercise with your father, and practice martial arts. Don't be lazy."

Su Han patted Gu Qianxue's head and smiled. After transmigrating, it was either struggling for survival or engaging in deceit and trickery. Such heartwarming scenes were rare, making him feel much better.

"Okay, but can the medicine not be so bitter?"

"That depends on whether your father is willing to buy you candy."

Su Han laughed, pulling Sun Lianshan aside to discuss the treatment plan. At this moment, Qian Guang happened to return, and after talking, he arranged accommodation for the father and daughter, right next to his own residence.

"Brother Qian, I didn't see you at the banquet earlier. Where did you go?"

Su Han asked curiously.

"Hehe, of course, I went to give the Li family a lesson."

Qian Guang chuckled, looking somewhat pleased with himself.

"You went to the Li residence alone to cause trouble?"

Su Han was immediately surprised. Qian Guang rolled his eyes:

"How is that possible? Not to mention that the Li family originally employed many martial artists and retainers, the family head, Li Qingyun, is a master who has successfully tempered his bones, which is my father's level."

"Even if I am a genius, I can't beat him, okay?"

But quickly, he changed the subject: "Don't forget, we are not without backing. The Golden Pavilion is responsible for monitoring the martial world, and they pay particular attention to matters involving heretical demons."

"Now that the Li family dares to collude with heretical demons, the Golden Pavilion has ample reason to take action. I expect that the senior brothers from the Golden Pavilion have already paid a visit to the Li family."

Su Han nodded, understanding. He almost forgot about the Golden Pavilion. There had been no news for the past few days. He had even gone to check it out the day before yesterday, but the doors were tightly closed, making one think it had already closed down.

"But speaking of which, I brought back a message from the Golden Pavilion this time. There will be a major operation in a while regarding the extermination of heretical demons. As a member of the Golden Pavilion, you must participate."

Qian Guang thought for a moment, adding.

"Must?"

"Of course, otherwise, what's the point of that golden token? But according to the information I received, the Golden Pavilion's errands are not without benefits, so you don't have to worry about working for nothing."

Qian Guang explained, feeling slightly emotional: "This eight-hundred-li Ping'an County is just a shallow beach, but many people spend their entire lives without being able to swim past it. Sometimes, it's not because their talent is limited, but because they lack higher-level assistance and are trapped in the muddy bottom."

"But Brother Su, you and I are different. Joining the Golden Pavilion means that we already have a branch hanging down from a high place. Whether we can climb up along the branch still depends on ourselves. You have to work hard."

Su Han raised an eyebrow: "What do you mean specifically?"

Qian Guang pondered for a moment and said:

"Let's take the Bone Tempering realm as an example. There are three levels: Iron Bone, Silver Bone, and Gold Bone. But do you know that almost all Bone Tempering martial artists in this eight-hundred-li Ping'an County only know the Iron Bone Tempering method?"

"The Silver Bone and Gold Bone methods only exist in legends."

"A martial artist who only knows how to temper Iron Bones, even if they achieve great success in Bone Tempering, will only have great success in Iron Bones. If they encounter someone with Silver Bones, even if it's only minor success in Silver Bones, they will not be their opponent."

"This not only means individual combat power, but the foundation of a Silver Bone martial artist is much deeper than that of an Iron Bone martial artist. This means that a Silver Bone martial artist can step into a higher realm, but Iron Bones can only stop there."

"But in the Golden Pavilion, there is a method for tempering Silver Bones! And as long as you make enough contributions, you can exchange for it. Do you know the advantages of the Golden Pavilion now? It's a branch hanging down from the clouds that we mortals can only look up to!"

Su Han was silent.

He sighed and continued:

"Brother Su, listen to my advice, don't be too obsessed with the method of tempering Gold Bones. It's not something we can come into contact with."

"It can be said that even in the vast Qingyuan Prefecture, which is far beyond our shallow beach, in the abyss where the storms never stop, the method of tempering Gold Bones may not exist. It involves the esoteric Dao intent."

"Perhaps only under the feet of the Son of Heaven, in the land of the Divine Capital..."

"...will the method of tempering Gold Bones exist, right?"

Su Han pondered. This Gold Bone method was so superior, but what was this so-called esoteric Dao intent? But honestly, perhaps he could get a glimpse of the mysteries of the Gold Bone method.

As long as he could obtain the Silver Bone method, and then level up!

He was somewhat looking forward to the Golden Pavilion errand in a while.

Night.

Outside the house, wind and snow fluttered, while inside, the lights were bright.

Su Han was currently firing up his furnace to refine pills, refining a Qi Cultivation Pill. But unlike ordinary Qi Cultivation Pills, this pill contained a drop of Blood of Yimu, which he had obtained during acupuncture.

Pretreating medicinal materials such as Heavenly Green Flower, Jade Bone Vine, Red Thread Grass, etc., extracting their medicinal properties using the water method, refining and purifying them using the fire method, and with precise control of the heat, the pill slowly formed in the furnace.

As the fragrance of the pill filled the entire room, the pill was successfully refined to the highest grade.

Opening the lid of the furnace and taking out the pill, it emitted a silver luster, while a cyan light surrounded it, full of vitality. Before his eyes, the information of this pill slowly appeared.

"Yimu Qi Cultivation Pill: A special type of Qi Cultivation Pill refined using Blood of Yimu as the main ingredient. It contains a trace of Yimu Qi, which not only strengthens the foundation and cultivates vitality but also enhances vitality and treats injuries. Even a dying person can be kept alive for a while."

The initial foundation was already so high, so what about after upgrading?

With a thought, he began to upgrade.

[Yimu Water-Fire Essence Pill: Based on the Water-Fire Essence Pill, it incorporates the essence of Yimu, possessing all the effects of the Water-Fire Essence Pill, and the medicinal power is enhanced. After consumption, the body will absorb the essence of Yimu, allowing the bloodline to evolve into the Evergreen Yimu, with the characteristic of endless life, extremely vigorous impact, and a significant increase in lifespan, but only one pill can be taken per person; multiple doses will render the Evergreen Yimu effect ineffective.]

Su Han's eyes lit up. Without hesitation, he immediately swallowed it.

The pill melted in his mouth, and in addition to the familiar warm and cool currents surging in his body, a breath merged into the depths of his bloodline, bringing intense vitality.

This feeling was extremely wonderful, like withered trees meeting spring, and with the medicinal power of water and fire essence, it began to rapidly condense and sublimate the body's blood, finally breaking through the barrier and achieving blood like mercury!

The blood in his body surged like erupting magma, fierce and unparalleled, sweeping everything like a tide. Although his body shape did not change, his weight had increased by dozens of pounds, and his strength had more than doubled.

Blood like mercury is needed to have golden muscles and jade meridians.

He had broken through the Blood Exchange barrier!
