"The experience from the Skin Toughening thod is separate from the blade technique skills,"
Chen Mu looked at the changed system interface, showing a contemplative expression. His previous Raging Wind Blade Technique and Gale Blade Technique shared experience, but Skin Toughening did not.
But on further thought, he wasn't surprised, as Skin Toughening and Blade Techniques were indeed different, having no connection between them. Perhaps only techniques of the sa type could share experience, while Skin Toughening, in comparison to Blade Techniques, belonged to an entirely different category.
Moreover,
the increase in experience for the Skin Toughening thod also caught Chen Mu off guard because the ti he spent practicing this ti around did not exceed one hour, yet he gained a total of 11 Experience Points.
To advance the Skin Toughening thod to Minor Achievent, only 100 Experience Points were needed!
This ans if he practiced once at dawn and dusk each, he would only need five days to bring the Golden Jade Skin Toughening Technique to Minor Achievent!
"The Skin Toughening thod is indeed different from the blade techniques; the entire learning process purely toughens internally and externally with the dicinal powder. The accumulated experience might co from the dicinal power of those decoctions...,"
Chen Mu suddenly had an epiphany.
Normally, even soone with top-notch talent and perfect adaptability wouldn't be able to absorb all of the dicinal power when practicing Skin Toughening, nor could they make perfect use of every bit of it.
But if the system could disregard this concept and directly convert all the dicinal power he endured during the process into 'Experience Points' for accumulation, then it would make perfect sense.
The adage goes, "All dicines have their toxins."
Ordinary people might be doing well to absorb one-tenth of the dicinal power from the inner and outer dicinal powders. He, having above-average talent, might only manage to absorb twenty to thirty percent of it.
And that twenty to thirty percent of dicinal power is then affected by the body's adaptability, exhibiting varying degrees of effectiveness based on the level of adaptability. The average person's adaptability would probably only manage to use one or two-tenths of the dicinal power for 'Skin Toughening,' while the rest would be tabolized by the body, serving no real purpose.
Therefore, the process of Skin Toughening is extrely long for ordinary people, and the saying "three years of Skin Toughening" is not an exaggeration.
But if the system interface could directly convert dicinal power into Experience Points, that would undoubtedly equate to one hundred percent absorption and one hundred percent adaptability to the dicinal power.
Perhaps in the entire Da Xuan Dynasty, among a population of hundreds of millions, there was no constitution bizarre enough to achieve this. Still, he could achieve such effects with the system interface.
"Very well,"
Chen Mu revealed a smile.
He had previously worried whether the system interface would work with sothing as different from blade techniques as Skin Toughening.
If it didn't, then he would have had to rely solely on mastering various advanced blade techniques through the system interface to improve his strength, while he would need to progress slowly step by step with Skin Toughening and the subsequent Body Refinent thods. Now, it seed much better.
And logically speaking, this isn't considered cheating. After all, every bit of advancent in realm cos from genuine 'dicinal Power,' not from nothing, and even these 'dicinal Powers' were bought with the silver he earned himself.
Just like the blade techniques, they are all hard-earned.
Chen Mu was quite at peace with this.
...
Four days flew by quickly.
In these four days, aside from so visits by the local gentry to congratulate him on his move and Butcher Zhang who ca to 'reminisce,' everything was uneventful. Chen Mu still went to the City Defense Division every day, but as Head Constable, he no longer needed to collect or hang up his plaque, and it didn't matter if he didn't go to the City Defense Division; it was just a title in na.
As for the gifts from many gentry congratulating him on his new residence, Chen Mu accepted them all without refusal. Knowing that the experience of Internal Training was related to 'dicinal Power,' and that dicinal Power was directly linked to financial resources, he naturally did not turn away from silver.
```
As for the impact of accepting silver, he wasn't particularly concerned.
He was no longer a low-level constable now.
He was one of the five serving head constables in the City Defense Division, a direct subordinate under the care of Min Baoyi, and even if he took those gentry's silver, should any troubles arise in the future, he could calmly decide whether to deal with them or not based on the gravity of the situation.
Then there was Butcher Zhang, an uncle who hadn't visited for many years, who was much more polite than Chen Mu's distant mories of him, even lowering his voice when speaking, appearing sowhat cautious and careful. It just made Chen Mu reflect on how fickle human relationships could be; when his old father had died, Butcher Zhang had also only made a token visit.
Now, however, he was trying by all ans to ingratiate himself with Chen Mu as a relative.
"We can talk about Youying's issue another ti," he said.
In response to Butcher Zhang bringing up the past and ntioning Zhang Youying once again, Chen Mu simply replied calmly.
He truly had no interest in such matters now, his focus was much more on cultivation. If his physique hadn't been able to withstand it, limited to enduring Skin Toughening only twice during dusk and dawn, he would have even considered increasing the frequency of his practice sessions.
The rest of his ti was almost entirely spent practicing his blade technique, planning to quickly elevate the Gale Blade Technique to Perfection and master a second Blade Montum, thus further enhancing his own strength.
Sensing Chen Mu's disinterest, Butcher Zhang tactfully changed the topic and after so ti, along with Chen Hong, stood up to take his leave from Chen Mu, who along with Chen Yue, escorted them to the door.
After leaving Chen Mu's house.
On the way back, Butcher Zhang still cautiously reminded Chen Hong to carefully maintain this uncle-nephew relationship. Now that Chen Mu had risen high in status, there was no telling if a single word from him in the future could greatly support their family. They absolutely couldn't spoil the relationship.
Chen Mu did not watch Butcher Zhang and Chen Hong as they left; after seeing them out, he returned to the backyard to boil water and prepare dicine.
The process of Skin Toughening was still the sa.
After five days of Skin Toughening, he could still feel so changes. First, his skin seed to have beco tougher, similar to when touching rough stones, the sensation of pain from friction had noticeably decreased.
Secondly, inside his body, it was as if there was a faint fla that made him stronger when exerting force. According to the Skin Toughening thod, this was the Qi-Blood becoming more solidified after undergoing the Body Tempering thod.
"Huff..."
He climbed out of the sandpit.
Chen Mu sat beside the pit, his limbs feeling a bit sore and weak, taking a short breath.
Compared to the first day of cultivation when he could hardly walk after completing Skin Toughening, he was now much better. Although his whole body was still sowhat weak and sore, he could barely move on his own, without needing Chen Yue's assistance anymore.
"Just five days of cultivation and there's already an effect, if only I reached Minor Achievent..."
Chen Mu murmured.
He then summoned the system interface.
[Golden Jade Skin Toughening Technique (Unachieved)]
[Experience: 108]
On the system interface, under the entry for the Skin Toughening thod, the experience had accumulated to 108 points, enough to advance to 'Minor Achievent'.
