Chapter 62: Mastery of the Easy Marrow Secret Technique
Translator: Daoist6fubtiW
As the day began to break, Lu Changsheng and Li Hongzhuang changed their clothes once more and left the city of Monumental Steles.
“Stop,” Li Hongzhuang said proactively. “They can’t catch up with us.”
She turned directly to Lu Changsheng and said, “Thirteen, let’s part ways here. 1 won’t return to Nanyang City. 1’11 find a place to diligently practice the Easy Marrow Secret Technique, aiming to master it soon and attempt to break through the Life-and-Death Profound Gateway to reach the Divine Power Realm.”
Lu Changsheng saw the determination in Li Hongzhuang’s eyes. Without reaching the Divine Power Realm, she probably wouldn’t reappear in the martial world.
“Very well, every banquet must come to an end,” Lu Changsheng nodded. After all, he had achieved his objectives and obtained seven Easy Marrow Pills, exceeding his expectations.
“Thirteen, here are the Easy Marrow Secret Technique and the Mighty Mountains Profound Power secret scrolls.”
“Additionally, I’ve written down some insights on disguise and disguise-switching techniques that I’ve accumulated over the years as 1 traveled the martial world.”
“I hope you can also achieve the Divine Power Realm soon!”
Lu Changsheng received the secret scrolls and martial arts techniques from Li Hongzhuang, flipping through them without finding any issues.
“Then, 1 wish you, Miss Li, an early success in the Divine Power Realm and avenging your family.”
“Thirteen, until we meet again in the martial world.”
With that, Li Hongzhuang didn’t hesitate any further. She immediately changed direction and departed.
Lu Changsheng put away the scrolls he received and felt quite content. He patted his horse’s head and laughed, saying, “Horse, we’ve made quite a harvest this time. Let’s head back.”
The horse seemed to sense Lu Changsheng’s joyful mood and immediately galloped toward Nanyang City.
Lu Changsheng successfully returned to the Garden of Skilled Hands.
Despite the dusty journey, he didn’t feel tired. Instead, he was full of energy and high spirits.
“The Easy Marrow Secret Technique, Divine Power Realm martial arts, and Easy Marrow Pills are all in hand.”
“Now, 1 need to practice the Easy Marrow Secret Technique first.”
“As soon as I’ve perfected the Easy Marrow Secret Technique, I can immediately take the Easy Marrow Pills.”
Lu Changsheng took a deep breath. He began to sort out the complete Easy Marrow Secret Technique in his mind.
This secret technique was called the Li Family’s Easy Marrow Secret Technique, and although it was easy to learn, it was challenging to master, let alone reach perfection.
Lu Changsheng’s comprehension exceeded 500 points, which made learning the technique easy. In half an hour, he was able to check his attribute panel:
Host: Lu Changsheng
Comprehension: 558 (Hidden Dragon in the Abyss)
Li Family’s Easy Marrow Secret Technique: Entry
Spring Wind and Rain Purification of the Organs Technique: Third Level
Nine-Character Thunder Sound Secret Technique: Mastery (Incomplete)
“This technique appears to allow bones to resonate in a special way.”
“Only when they can resonate in the bones and reach the marrow is it considered perfect.”
“Once the marrow resonates, taking an Easy Marrow Pill will allow it to completely integrate into the bone marrow, beginning the ‘easy marrow’ process. Therefore, this Easy Marrow Secret Technique is actually a method to assist in using ‘Easy Marrow Pills’.”
Lu Changsheng understood that the Easy Marrow Secret Technique was somewhat similar to the “follow-up” of top-tier bone-forging martial arts.
Top-tier bone-forging martial arts tempered the bones and reached the marrow, but once they made contact with the “marrow,” they had no further methods to proceed.
For further “marrow refinement,” this Easy Marrow Secret Technique came into play.
Moreover, merely “tempering the marrow” was not advisable. The marrow was very fragile and needed external substances to strengthen it, even allowing it to undergo a transformation and renewal, and the Easy Marrow Pill was one such “external substance.”
“To achieve resonating in the bones and reaching the marrow should not be difficult.”
“For the time being, I won’t go anywhere. 1’11 stay in Nanyang City to treat patients and practice.”
Lu Changsheng made a plan for the next few months.
The next day, Lu Changsheng went to Miao Ren Tang early in the morning.
Dr. Wang Ruhai smiled when he saw Lu Changsheng. “Doctor Lu, you’ve come back so quickly?”
“Everything is done,” Lu Changsheng replied. “Dr. Wang, have you been receiving many patients at Miao Ren Tang recently?”
“It’s been manageable; I can handle it alone,” Dr. Wang responded. “However, there have been more patients with external injuries and bone injuries lately, which I’m not very skilled at. Now that you’ve returned, it won’t be a problem.”
Lu Changsheng nodded but didn’t say anything more.
He was a comprehensive doctor who had learned from the renowned physician Wu Jing. Whether it was external injuries, internal injuries, or illnesses, Lu Changsheng excelled at treating them.
Zhang Huan was still very diligent, preparing hot tea and assisting from the side.
Lu Changsheng started receiving patients, most of whom had symptoms of fever and cough.
“Doctor, my leg is broken!”
“I’ve lost my hand…”
“Doctor, save me…”
At this moment, there was a commotion outside. Zhang Huan and some other apprentices came in carrying stretchers with several men on them.
However, these men were groaning and covered in blood.
Lu Changsheng immediately went forward and urgently treated a man whose arm had been severed—stopping the bleeding, applying medicine, and administering injections.
In the end, the patient survived.
Subsequently, there were several patients with broken bones or various external injuries.
“What’s going on?” Lu Changsheng asked.
One of the patients with a pale face whispered, “We are a group of merchants who were traveling together, preparing to buy and sell goods in Nanyang City.” “However, we encountered a group of strongmen on the way, who claimed to be under the command of the Desert’s Thirteen Riders. They not only robbed us of our wealth and cargo but also resorted to violence.”
“We didn’t dare to resist, which is how we survived. Although no one died, many of our companions were injured to some extent.”
Lu Changsheng furrowed his brows and looked at Zhang Huan.
Zhang Huan seemed to know what Lu Changsheng was wondering and explained in a low voice, “The Desert’s Thirteen Riders are said to be a group of thirteen martial artists who have come from the desert. They have been traveling southward and acting with impunity. They have gathered bandits from the greenwoods and even recruited some of the thieves who were once under the ‘Dragontooth King,’ Li Ji.”
“Now, these marauders have taken control of the Nanyang Prefecture’s trade routes, extorting tolls from passing caravans. If they don’t comply, they resort to direct robbery and violence, being extremely ruthless.”
Lu Changsheng’s frown deepened as he inquired, “Don’t the officials take any action? What about the government forces?”
At this point, Dr. Wang Ruhai sighed. “All, Doctor Lu, in the present day and age, bandits and robbers are rampant. Mobilizing government forces requires a large amount of money.”
“I’ve heard that the Prefect is currently summoning contributions from the various influential families and gentry of Nanyang Prefecture, hoping to raise the funds and supplies needed to mobilize government forces. 0then-vase, they won’t be able to dispatch troops to suppress the bandits.”
“But, in my opinion, it’s probably not very effective. Ultimately, the government may end up levying the burden on the common people again, and the so-called ‘heavy-handed governance is more dreadful than tigers.'”
Dr. Wang Ruhai continued to shake his head, clearly dissatisfied with the current state of affairs.
However, he was only a small county doctor and could do nothing but his best to treat the sick and save lives.
Lu Changsheng didn’t say anything more. This was a matter for the government to handle, and he naturally expected the officials to deal with it.
In the days that followed, Lu Changsheng continued to see patients and practice medicine every day.
In the blink of an eye, two months had passed.
On this day, with the bright spring sunlight and the fragrance of flowers in the air, Lu Changsheng chose to take a day off and stayed at home.
Suddenly, small words floated in front of Lu Changsheng’s eyes.
“Li Family’s Easy Marrow Secret Technique perfected, +7 to comprehension.”
Lu Changsheng’s eyes lit up.
“The Li Family’s Easy Marrow Secret Technique is finally perfected. It’s time to take the Easy Marrow Pill.”
Lu Changsheng muttered to himself in a low voice, his tone tinged with an excitement he couldn’t suppress.
After all, he had been waiting for this day for a long time!
Lu Changsheng took a pristine porcelain bottle from a hidden compartment in the room.
“Pop.”
Lu Changsheng uncorked the bottle and poured out a pill the size of a soybean, emanating a unique fragrance.
This was the Easy Marrow Pill he had seized from the Cui family.
“Let’s begin.”
Lu Changsheng took a deep breath and swallowed a Easy Marrow Pill in a single gulp..
