Name: Song Fulu

Age: 18 years/61 years

Free Talent Points: 0 points

Cultivation Realm: Exterior Forging - Layer 1

Cultivation Talent: 3 points (ordinary)

Auxiliary Talent: 4 points (good)

Martial Arts Mastery: Mountain Fist (Layer 1), Basic Movement Technique (beginner), Basic Knife Technique (beginner)

Auxiliary Mastery: Weapon Refining Technique (Level 3)

Looking at the refreshed attribute panel, Song Fulu smiled. With his Auxiliary Talent reaching four points, it meant that his Auxiliary Talent had been upgraded from ordinary to good.

Such talent and aptitude were definitely apex in Stone Bull Village, and even in the town, it was considered apex. Perhaps only the auxiliary masters in the county town could reach this level.

Moreover, Song Fulu had a feeling that with the consecutive breakthroughs in Cultivation Talent and Auxiliary Talent, the cultivation bottleneck and forging bottleneck that had been troubling him for a long time would be broken.

Thinking of this, Song Fulu directly lifted the blanket and sat up. Along with the talent breakthrough, many impurities and toxins in his body were also expelled, making him feel uncomfortable and sticky.

After this transformation, his originally weak body had completely improved.

Putting on a thick coarse linen robe, although it was undyed, it was quite resistant to the cold. The shoes were straw sandals made from a wild grass unique to Stone Bull Mountain. They were sturdy and resilient, far surpassing most shoes on Earth, but they were a bit ugly.

He boiled a pot of water and thoroughly washed away the dirt on his body, also washing the clothes inside. He felt refreshed and invigorated.

In the small courtyard, Song Fulu began practicing his fist techniques. He practiced Mountain Fist, the only Foundation Building martial art in Stone Bull Village, and also the best Foundation Building martial art in the surrounding villages and towns.

It was said that Mountain Fist was a technique bought by hundreds of households in Stone Bull Village several hundred years ago with the wealth they had saved up through frugality. Even in the county town, it was considered an apex Foundation Building martial art. Apart from its slow cultivation speed and relatively weak power, everything else was acceptable. At least it could lay a solid foundation for the villagers' cultivation and prepare them for higher cultivation realms.

Although many years had passed, no villager from Stone Bull Village had ever been able to break through to the fifth layer of Mountain Fist. However, every villager who practiced Mountain Fist had robust vitality.

By the way, Stone Bull Village's Mountain Fist only had four layers, corresponding to the four layers of Exterior Forging. Above that was said to be the realm of Interior Refinement, also divided into four layers, known as Interior Refinement Four Layers. However, no villager from Stone Bull Village had been able to reach the realm of Interior Refinement.

The four layers of Exterior Forging were Skin Tempering, Flesh Tempering, Tendon Tempering, and Bone Tempering. The original owner had been practicing for about ten years and was still stuck at the perfection stage of Skin Tempering, unable to break through.

With the original owner's low-level Cultivation Talent, it would take several more years to gradually overcome the bottleneck.

But for Song Fulu, whose Cultivation Talent had already reached three points, it would only take half an hour.

Mountain Fist had thirty-six forms. Although it was called a fist technique, it actually encompassed every part of the body, allowing for the training of every part. It had both training methods and fighting techniques, but the fighting techniques mainly relied on fists, hence the name "fist technique."

Each move and technique is as steady as a mountain, solid and meticulous, with a limited offensive power but a good defense. Moreover, the foundation forged is extremely solid.

Following the memories of the original owner, Song Fulu diligently practices. With each movement, the qi and blood in his body gradually boil, tempering every inch of his skin. Whether it is speed or efficiency, it is about three times faster than before.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he has made rapid progress.

Furthermore, compared to the original owner, Song Fulu's comprehension is obviously much higher, and with the addition of his talent, his cultivation efficiency is also higher. It can be said that he achieves twice the result with half the effort.

The so-called Skin Tempering realm focuses on the skin. At the beginning of cultivation, the skin is of normal color. However, as cultivation deepens, the skin gradually turns brown, eventually becoming dark brown, and then black. At that point, the skin becomes as tough as iron, easily able to shatter bricks.

Of course, the skin only turns black when the qi and blood are fully activated. If the qi and blood are not activated, the skin color remains normal. Otherwise, all cultivators would be black, which would be quite comical.

At this moment, as the qi and blood boil, Song Fulu's skin has turned pitch black. If it were nighttime, it would be difficult to notice.

Song Fulu doesn't have time to pay attention to this because as his moves become more proficient, various insights begin to emerge in his mind, deepening his understanding of the Mountain Fist technique.

The qi and blood in his body, guided by Song Fulu's insights, quickly penetrate the skin at an astonishing speed, merging into the muscles, gradually making them strong and flexible, even those that were previously loose.

Breaking through the bottleneck that had confined the original owner for several years, Song Fulu easily surpasses him, enhancing his talent by about three times. The benefits brought to this body are beyond imagination.

Feeling the fullness and symmetry of his muscles, Song Fulu is also extremely surprised. It is truly a fantasy world, where such great improvements can be obtained through cultivation. In a short period of time, he has caught up with years of training on Earth. The power of qi and blood is also a strange force that Earth does not possess. It is truly remarkable.

After breaking through to the second layer of Exterior Forging and Flesh Tempering, Song Fulu's strength has increased several times. There is a noticeable improvement in strength, speed, reaction, and the five senses.

Unable to resist, Song Fulu punches a small pit in the earthen wall. If it were an ordinary person, their bones would likely be broken or even die from such a blow.

However, after this cultivation and breakthrough, Song Fulu's stomach is empty and growling with hunger.

The cultivation of the second layer of Exterior Forging mainly focuses on the power of qi and blood, which naturally comes from daily food intake.

His foster father left him a pot of wild ginseng soup, originally intended for the original owner's nourishment, but now it benefits Song Fulu.

There is half a stalk of wild ginseng in the large bowl of soup, aged over ten years, specifically prepared for the original owner.

There are also other medicinal herbs such as Polygonum multiflorum, Chinese yam, and blood-tonifying herbs. Song Fulu drinks the soup and eats the medicine, quickly finishing the entire pot of wild ginseng soup without leaving a drop.

His hungry stomach quickly becomes full, and the surging qi and blood generate, causing Song Fulu to punch in the courtyard, digesting the surging nourishing power of the wild ginseng soup.

The qi and blood rapidly increase, and the muscles are thoroughly tempered and polished with abundant qi and blood, stabilizing at an astonishing speed and beginning to rapidly improve.

When the medicinal power of the wild ginseng soup is almost digested, Song Fulu not only stabilizes his strength at the second layer of Flesh Tempering but also improves it significantly. The effect of the wild ginseng aged over ten years is truly remarkable, but unfortunately, there is too little of it.

PS: Regarding the issue of time in this book, please stop complaining. The reason why the ancient twelve-hour system is not used is mainly because another book used it before, and some readers said that they had to calculate which time it was every time it was mentioned, which was too troublesome. Reading a book should not require using your brain, so this book is set based on the modern time system, divided into twenty-four hours. Each hour is slightly longer than in reality. It can basically be referenced to the modern time system. However, because it is set in an ancient society, using hours would be strange, so we use "shichen" (two-hour periods). Please don't mind.
