Confined to one's home at the start, studied for ten years, and became a saint and ancestor.

Now that he has reached the Grandmaster realm, Lu Feifan has gained 20,000 experience points for each minor realm advancement.

Although Lu Feifan's strength has improved, he only needs to eat one meal a day and sleep for five hours.

In addition, he became increasingly engrossed in reading, and could gain 190 to 200 experience points per day.

Even so, it still takes about three months to advance to the next minor realm.

But the good news is.

[Congratulations, host! You have read for ten consecutive hours. You are rewarded with a 72-hour experience multiplier card.]

He never expected that there would be something like experience cards.

Although it is said that after reading for ten times and ten hours each time, the minimum guarantee is a top-tier treasure.

Experience cards only save time.

But for Lu Feifan, he no longer lacks any Earth-level treasures.

That's how it feels.

Experience cards are actually more practical.

A 30x EXP card, if you grind for three days straight, that's equivalent to three months!

No, if he hadn't stopped for a moment, it would have actually been about three months.

A day with 24 hours is worth 7,200 experience points.

Three days of intense work resulted in a breakthrough to a minor realm.

If a few more cards like this come out later, he can grind for a month or two and then win the game.

Of course, that's a bit unrealistic.

After all, he had been studying for so long before he finally got an experience card.

The chances of this thing appearing are probably not high.

Lu Feifan adjusted his mindset and informed Chen Bo in advance that he didn't need to come over for the next few days.

After that, he started working himself to the bone!

To avoid being disturbed, he even took a bunch of books into the room to read.

He even turned off the system notifications beforehand.

Then, he worked himself to the bone for five days and five nights before he finally felt exhausted and woke up from that deep mental exertion.

He checked his experience points immediately.

XP: 22600

During those five days and five nights, he also obtained four Yellow-grade treasures, seven Profound-grade treasures, and one Earth-grade treasure.

Most importantly, he achieved the feat of reading for one hundred consecutive hours.

[Congratulations, host, for reading continuously for 100 hours. Reward: Heaven-Rank Martial Skill, Boundless Hand]

For several moments, his mind was blank, and he didn't immediately start organizing his haul.

Instead, he simply lay down and fell asleep.

Although he has now reached the Grandmaster level, going five days without sleep is not a big deal.

However, concentrating on reading is extremely taxing on one's energy and spirit.

Five days and five nights later, his physical condition was still okay, but his mental state was severely depleted, and he really couldn't take it anymore.

I don't know how long I slept.

Wait until you feel refreshed and energetic when you get up.

Lu Feifan immediately took out the first Heaven-level martial arts manual he had obtained, Boundless Hand.

Holding the golden scroll in his hand, an unfathomable aura emanated from it.

Without hesitation, Lu Feifan slammed the golden scroll onto his head. The next moment, the golden scroll transformed into a stream of golden light with characters on it and entered Lu Feifan's mind, filling his mind with a wealth of information.

Lu Feifan closed his eyes and carefully comprehended the meaning.

With this reward, Lu Feifan directly reached the mastery stage of the martial arts technique.

in this way.

His current combat strength is hard to say about the whole world, but in the Great Xia, he doesn't think he can still have an opponent at the Grandmaster level.

After all, the Great Xia Dynasty only has two Heaven-level martial arts techniques on the surface.

One of them is the Emperor Dragon Technique, a martial art used by the Great Xia royal family.

The other is the martial art of the Great Summer Gate Mountain, the Heavenly Extreme Sword.

Putting aside the cultivation techniques, it is said that only true disciples who have reached the Grandmaster level can view and learn the Heaven-level martial arts techniques at Tianmen Mountain.

Moreover, Heaven-level martial arts are extremely difficult to cultivate. It is said that if one can cultivate the Heavenly Extreme Sword to a minor level when reaching the Grandmaster realm, one can become a candidate for the Holy Son of Tianmen Mountain.

He is very likely to be the next leader.

It is easy to imagine how difficult it is to cultivate a Heaven-rank martial art.

Now, Lu Feifan's Boundless Hand is already at the level of a master.

He naturally has enough confidence when facing other opponents of the same level.

However, his panel did not display any level of martial arts skills.

It seems like you can add points indefinitely.

In other words, regardless of its level, as long as you keep adding points, you will eventually reach the pinnacle of the world.

Therefore, Lu Feifan needs to select a few martial arts techniques and continuously increase his skill points in them.

There's no need to be greedy.

Palm techniques, sword techniques, body techniques, methods for utilizing spiritual power, and at most one forbidden technique that can be unleashed instantly.

Moreover, it's best if they all come from the Heavenly Rank reward for reading.

Therefore, I need to work harder than ever before!

However, the thought of working himself to the bone made Lu Feifan feel nauseous.

Reading for five days and five nights straight inevitably has some aftereffects.

Previously, although he had worked himself to the bone, he would still sleep and rest every day. With the increase in his strength, he didn't feel anything was wrong and instead became more and more accustomed to it.

But doing something like that so suddenly feels like going too far.

My brain is starting to resist reading.

If he could go to Lichunlou to relax, he felt he could recover in just one night.

Unfortunately, he couldn't get out of there.

There isn't even a place to relax.

Lu Feifan felt somewhat melancholy.

Add some points to level up, and your strength will reach the mid-stage of Grandmaster.

The next level requires 40,000 experience points.

It's not something you can achieve overnight.

Lu Feifan stood up, stepped out of the formation, and looked up at the rows of libraries, feeling even more melancholy.

"I really want to turn one of them into the Lichun Pavilion."

As if knowing Lu Feifan wanted to rest today, Chen Bo came over with wine and dishes shortly after Lu Feifan finished wandering around.

As he drank, Lu Feifan sighed to him.

Chen Bo seemed to be deep in thought.

Brother, you're lonely!

The next day, he brought in a puppy.

"Brother Lu, I originally wanted to help you realize your wish and move the entire Lichun Brothel in. I had already made the arrangements and negotiated the price, but unfortunately, those Imperial Guards are ungrateful and they won't allow it!"

"I can only settle for second best and bring you a dog instead, don't mind!"

"Having a dog can also help alleviate loneliness!"

Chen Bo said this to Lu Feifan, who was in better condition.

This compromise is way too drastic!

The person had been replaced by a dog, and the key point is that Lu Feifan took a look and it seemed to be a male.

"This dog is a legendary country dog, born from the Dog King, and has the potential to become a great demon!"

"I brought it back from the border town. I originally wanted to give it to Yaoyao, but unfortunately, she doesn't seem to like it very much!"

"You're lonely, bro, here you go!"

Lu Feifan listened with a strange expression.

There's something odd about what I'm saying.

Lu Feifan looked down at the little puppy rubbing against his trouser leg.

They look only one or two months old, and they're still very cute.

And he seems quite intelligent.

It even seemed to realize it was about to have a new owner, and ran over to fawn over him.

Thinking that since I had nothing else to do, I might as well let it rest.
