From the mouths of Li Niu and other martial arts School Disciples, Gu Qingfeng finally understood that people dying in Lin County was not a new occurrence.
As early as a month ago.
People in Lin County had been dying one after another in various tragic and Grievances ways.
It was just because Lin County was a county town, neither big nor small, coupled with the fact that Gu Qingfeng had always moved between the martial arts School and home, paying little attention to external affairs, that he hadn't heard about it.
In the following days.
Gu Qingfeng delved deeper into the matters of Lin County.
He discovered.
The frequency of deaths in Lin County was increasing, and it was becoming more concentrated.
In the beginning.
Only one family would die every three to five days, but now it was almost one family dying every day, and sometimes even two or three families dying in a single day.
As the death toll increased, the news of something unclean appearing in Lin County intensified, causing many common people to panic, and quite a few even entertained the idea of moving out of Lin County.
For this.
The government stepped forward and issued a public notice, stating that a murderer was at large in Lin County, committing these killings, but the government had already tracked his whereabouts and would capture him soon, assuring all the common people to rest easy.
Upon the release of this news.
The unrest among the common people was naturally suppressed to the lowest level.
However.
When this news reached Gu Qingfeng's ears, it caused him to frown slightly.
"A killer on the run... I'm afraid it's not that simple!"
Of course.
Gu Qingfeng only thought about these things.
As for the specifics, he couldn't figure it out for the time being.
Returning to the courtyard.
Gu Qingfeng saw Gu Yang practicing the Mountain Shattering Fist, and he frowned slightly: "You don't need to go to the private school today?"
"The teacher said that the county town has been restless recently, so he temporarily gave us a few days off. He will notify us later when classes resume."
Gu Yang answered honestly.
Gu Qingfeng nodded slightly, glanced at his attribute panel, and suddenly the worry in his heart dissipated considerably.
Why think so much.
Regardless of whether there are Grievances or some killer on the run, as long as his strength is sufficient, then all problems are not problems.
Right now, the fastest way to improve strength is to let Gu Yang break through first.
Only when his son breaks through.
Can he, the father, break through.
Thinking of this.
Gu Qingfeng quietly took out the Qi Blood Pill and handed it to Gu Yang.
"This is a Qi Blood Pill, specifically to assist you in practicing the Mountain Shattering Fist. Since the private school is currently not in session, stay at home and practice diligently. You can take one pill daily, but remember not to take too many.
Otherwise, at best, your Meridians will be damaged, and at worst, you will die on the spot!"
Gu Qingfeng's expression was very serious as he finished speaking.
Qi Blood Pills naturally wouldn't kill someone, but taking too many was ultimately not a good thing, so he deliberately exaggerated the consequences to prevent the boy from ignoring his words.
As expected.
Upon hearing that taking too many could lead to death, Gu Yang's face instantly turned pale, and he hurriedly said: "Dad, don't worry, I won't take too many."
"Yes, that's for the best!"
Gu Qingfeng then gave some pointers on the details of Gu Yang's Mountain Shattering Fist practice, and then walked to the other side to begin cultivating the Iron Body Skill.
It had been a month since he obtained the Iron Body Skill.
Perhaps because he had broken through to Refining Skin Perfection, Gu Qingfeng's speed in mastering the Iron Body Skill was countless times faster than when he cultivated the Mountain Shattering Fist.
He only took one month to successfully get started with the Iron Body Skill.
As the Iron Body Skill was mastered, Gu Qingfeng could feel his skin becoming tougher, and although the change was not particularly obvious, he was indeed becoming stronger.
However.
On the attribute panel, there wasn't much change in his Realm.
Regarding this.
Gu Qingfeng didn't care.
No change on the attribute panel didn't mean he wasn't getting stronger.
In the current environment, he naturally had to improve his strength as much as possible first.
...
Time flowed.
Three more months passed in the blink of an eye.
During these three months, Lin County became much calmer. There were no more accidental deaths among the common people, as if everything had returned to normal.
Gu Qingfeng no longer paid much attention to these matters.
When the Qi Blood Pills ran out, he used his own savings to purchase some medicinal baths and pills for tempering the body from the Golden Bull Martial Arts School.
Most of these items.
Gu Qingfeng gave to Gu Yang for his cultivation, only using a small portion himself.
But even so.
In three months.
Gu Qingfeng also successfully cultivated the Iron Body Skill to the minor completion stage.
Iron Body Skill minor completion.
Allowed Gu Qingfeng to feel a clear difference in himself.
He found a weapon and slashed at his arm, only to see that the sharp weapon couldn't even leave a white mark on his skin.
Then, with a forceful squeeze of his hand, the tempered weapon turned into a lump of scrap metal.
"Not bad!"
Gu Qingfeng nodded with satisfaction.
When he was at Refining Skin Perfection before, although he could achieve a certain degree of resistance to swords and blades, he definitely couldn't reach the level he was at now.
It was clear.
This was the marvel brought about by the Breakthrough in the Iron Body Skill.
Just at this moment.
The information bar, which had been quiet for a long time, refreshed with a new message.
"Your descendant 'Gu Yang' has broken through to Skin Refinement Realm intermediate stage!"
"Reward: Improvement Point * 2!"
"Reward: Qi Blood Pill * 30!"
"Reward: blood refinement pill * 10!"
...
This time the reward didn't include martial arts, but there were two improvement points, and a completely new type of pill.
blood refinement pill!
When Gu Qingfeng's thought landed on the pill, the corresponding information also appeared.
This is a pill taken by Martial Artists in the Refining Blood Realm. It can refine the Martial Artist's Qi and blood power, accelerating the Breakthrough in the Refining Blood Realm. Martial Artists at Refining Skin Perfection can also take it to enter the Refining Blood Realm.
"Can two improvement points allow the Mountain Shattering Fist to break through to a higher level?"
Gu Qingfeng looked at the words 'Mountain Shattering Fist', and with a slight thought, a piece of information immediately appeared in his mind.
Break the limit of Mountain Shattering Fist!
Requires five improvement points!
It really is possible—
Gu Qingfeng was delighted. The completion of the Mountain Shattering Fist had already allowed him to break through to Refining Skin Perfection. If he could break through to a higher level, perhaps he could rely on the Mountain Shattering Fist to directly become a Refining Blood Martial Artist.
However.
Upon seeing that five improvement points were required, Gu Qingfeng's brows furrowed again.
The improvement points required to break the limit were considerable.
Up to now, all the improvement points he had obtained combined were only a mere four points.
It was uncertain when he would truly be able to accumulate five points.
Thinking of this.
Gu Qingfeng looked at the Iron Body Skill.
"Since the Mountain Shattering Fist cannot be improved, then I'll improve the Iron Body Skill first. Future matters can be dealt with later. The main priority now is to improve my strength as much as possible!"
