Ji Daoyi couldn't help but sigh, "This should be the last time I use it."

After the family selection competition, he will enter the inner courtyard for intensive training along with the others.

He was undoubtedly the strongest among his peers, both in terms of skill level and strength, so he was confident that he had no problem.

Moreover, compared to his current cultivation speed, it will only be faster in the inner courtyard.

Since it's a training program, the inner courtyard will definitely have plenty of cultivation resources. Being able to enter the inner courtyard is like having a silver spoon in your mouth.

The Bone Refining Realm, as the name suggests, is about tempering the bones in the human body.

The Bone Refining Realm not only increases the hardness of bones but also cleanses impurities from them, greatly enhancing the body's resilience.

Although one can cultivate Yuan Techniques at the Skin Refining Realm, it's difficult to unleash their full power. The main reason is the low cultivation level; whether it's insufficient Yuan Power or inadequate physical constitution, both will affect the damage output of the Yuan Technique.

The saying "If you want to wear the crown, you must bear its weight" illustrates this principle.

The Bone Refining Realm requires tempering more than two hundred bones in the body. Moreover, after the Bone Refining Realm is completed, a layer of white jade bone membrane will form on the surface of the bones, which can effectively reduce the damage of external forces to the bones.

On the futon,

The eighty-one sources of Yuan energy within Ji Daoyi's dantian grew stronger as he continuously absorbed Yuan energy.

boom,

It was as if he had unlocked the shackles within his body. The dantian space, which had stopped growing, began to expand continuously at this moment, eventually stopping at a diameter of 20 centimeters.

At this moment, the eighty-one strands of primordial energy also split continuously, eventually reaching a total of one hundred and sixty-two strands, doubling in number, and his own power also doubled.

"Phew..." Ji Daoyi breathed a long sigh of relief. With the breakthrough in his cultivation level, the most dangerous moment had passed.

Both his dantian space and the origin of his primordial energy have already broken through. Now he only needs to saturate the source energy before he can proceed to the next step of bone tempering.

He only needs to complete the tempering of one bone to be considered a true cultivator at the Bone Refining Realm.

The choice of the first bone to be tempered is very important. It not only determines the direction of the initial bone tempering, but also whether the bone tempering stage can be passed safely and quickly.

Most people, to be on the safe side, will prioritize tempering their limbs.

The human skeleton is divided into three main parts: the skull, the trunk, and the limbs. The skull consists of 29 bones, the trunk 51 bones, and the limbs 126 bones.

Therefore, the Bone Refining Realm is also divided into three realms: the Limb Bone Realm, the Torso Bone Realm, and the Skull Bone Realm.

Any of these three realms can be tempered during the initial bone tempering. However, once the bone tempering for one realm is determined, a certain number of bones from that realm must be tempered before bones from another realm can be tempered.

Not all bones in each Bone Realm need to be tempered; tempering only some key bones is enough to break through to the next realm. Of course, if one wants to pursue the ultimate goal, all bones in the body need to be fully tempered.

Each stage of bone refinement has its advantages and disadvantages. For example, refining the four limbs bone stage is relatively the least dangerous, and at the same time, it provides the most significant improvement in strength in the short term. Therefore, many people choose to prioritize breaking through this bone stage.

The Skull Realm is the most dangerous realm. It is the skeleton that protects the core of the human brain. If there is any mistake during tempering, the brain will be damaged, and there is always a risk of paralysis and death. Therefore, it is the most dangerous realm.

Of course, danger is often accompanied by opportunity. The earlier the skull is tempered, the more helpful it will be for breaking through to the Divine Realm later.

Even though it only increases the probability by one percent, there will still be quite a few geniuses taking the risk.

The three realms of bone refining are each divided into three levels. The first level is completed when the first bone in each realm is refined. The second level is when half of the bones in this realm are refined. The third level requires refining more than 80% of the bones. For example, in the realm of refining limb bones, the first level is when one bone is refined, the second level is when sixty-three bones are refined, and the third level is when more than one hundred bones are refined.

After much hesitation, Ji Daoyi decided to temper his limbs first. This was not only for the sake of safety, but also because it was the most advantageous option for him at the moment.

Having decided on his direction, he began using his Yuan energy to temper his finger bones. Even though he had undergone nine rounds of skin-refining, which had greatly enhanced his willpower and given him some immunity to pain, the stinging pain he felt during his first tempering of his finger bones still moved him deeply. His lips twitched, and veins bulged.

It was unclear how much time had passed before Ji Daoyi finally completed the tempering of the bones in his right arm.

"Luckily, I didn't stubbornly choose to have my skull tempered, otherwise it could have really damaged my brain." The breath I had been holding in was finally released at this moment.

Just now, during the bone tempering process, his right hand trembled and twitched due to the pain, and the flow of Yuan energy became unstable.

Fortunately, he was tempering his hand bones and managed to hold on in the end.

I could feel the immense power in my right hand; even a wave of my hand felt like an air explosion.

He could feel that his right hand had become much heavier, and the strength of his bones had increased many times over.

"Is this the power after bone tempering? I feel like even without using any elemental techniques, the power in my right hand could easily send my former self flying." Ji Daoyi was quite satisfied with this.

"It's still early. I can finish tempering the other bones before leaving seclusion." Ji Daoyi calculated the time and found that it only took three hours to temper the bones in his right hand.

Time flies like water, never to return.

Ji Daoyi woke up from his deep cultivation. He hadn't expected that the bone refining would go so smoothly, and his cultivation level directly reached the third level of the first stage of bone refining.

"If my mother hadn't given me a bottle of Bone Tempering Pills, this seclusion probably wouldn't have ended so soon. It seems I need to hurry up and learn alchemy." Ji Daoyi stretched.

Thanks to the Bone Tempering Pill, he completed his cultivation in just two days, and all 126 of his limb bones were tempered.

Ji Daoyi could feel that the completion of his bone refining this time had greatly improved his strength. Not only did it allow him to maintain his movement technique for a longer period of time, but it also increased the power of his Yellow Wind Palm by several levels.

After showering,

Ji Daoyi then returned the key to the cultivation room to Grandpa Wu.

"It's getting late. It seems I'll have to go to the Pill Pavilion to see Master Huang tomorrow. Perfect timing, I can review the alchemy techniques tonight."

After a hearty meal, Ji Daoyi began to review and learn anew, practicing the "Ji Family Elementary Alchemy Manual" repeatedly to ensure that he would not make mistakes when using it.

The Ji family was able to gain a foothold in Daoshu City so quickly not only because of its strength, but also because of its relatively fair family system.

To obtain sufficient cultivation resources in the Ji family, one needs to earn contribution points.

There are many ways to earn contribution points, such as completing tasks assigned by the clan, some simple and some difficult.

Of course, the simpler the task, the fewer contribution points you get, and the more difficult it is, the more contribution points you get.

Even though Ji Daoyi is the only son of the family head, he will not have any special privileges. He will do tasks like everyone else and exchange contribution points for his own cultivation resources.

Furthermore, his parents couldn't provide him with cultivation resources indefinitely; excessive pampering would be destructive. Hardship is indispensable for nurturing a pillar of the family.

The easiest way to earn contribution points in the family is through alchemy, which is one of the reasons why Ji Daoyi chose to learn alchemy. Moreover, the pills can be used for his own cultivation, and unwanted pills can be sold, which can be said to be a win-win situation.
