To be honest, after being in this world for ten years, he had never even seen a Qi Refining Pill, let alone a Body Tempering Pill.
After all, these things all needed to be disbursed by Steward Qin, and even though Sun Yanran had once planned to give her Medicinal Pills to Sun Bing, his male pride would not allow him to accept them.
It could be said that this was the first time he had so much money on him.
Sun Bing immediately went out without any hesitation, not returning to his own residence.
In fact, in Sun Bing’s eyes, that place was just an ordinary resting spot, and it was also unsafe.
If someone were to discover this Qi Refining Pill, the consequences would be unimaginable.
He quickly ran towards the back mountain.
Because of the events of these past few days, he was quite alert, and even carefully checked behind him to see if anyone was following.
Only after confirming his safety did he slowly arrive at the cliff where he practiced his sword daily.
There was already a shed built against the mountain wall here.
Although it was extremely simple, it was built by Sun Bing himself and was quite cozy.
It could be said that for so many days, Sun Bing practiced his sword during the day and slept under this simple shed at night, living like an ascetic Cultivator.
This was also why his Swordplay improved so quickly.
One who endures hardship will eventually rise above others.
No matter how good the resources, if one does not work hard, it will all eventually come to naught.
What’s more, there was now external pressure, with Sun Long still eyeing him covetously, which further motivated Sun Bing to strive forward.
Arriving at the cliff, Sun Bing did not immediately take the Body Tempering Pill.
Instead, he placed his extra items aside and, holding a wooden sword alone, slowly began to practice.
However, what he was practicing was not the Longitudinal Sword Manual from the Longitudinal and Horizontal Swordplay.
Although this Swordplay was also quite profound and powerful, Sun Bing still did not give up his daily practice of Basic Swordplay.
A tall building starts from the ground; only the most solid foundation can make the future stronger.
Especially the Sword Grinding Art transmitted from the sword case, even with the simple Basic Swordplay, each practice allowed Sun Bing to experience its profoundness.
There was always a mysterious something accompanying him, but when he tried to grasp it, it would instantly disappear.
This did not discourage Sun Bing.
He firmly believed that one day he would be able to comprehend its mysteries, and by then, he would definitely be even stronger.
After completing one round of Swordplay practice, Sun Bing stood quietly.
After a long while, he sighed, and his eyes showed the usual regret.
Indeed, even though he could experience that profoundness every day, after so many days, he was still completely clueless, not knowing what it was at all.
However, being a swordsman means being able to endure boundless loneliness and solitude for a goal; only then can one become a true strong person.
Although after becoming a Cultivator, there was no need to rest after practicing a round of Swordplay, Sun Bing still adjusted his state to the best, then slowly sat cross-legged under the shed he had built.
The breeze on the cliff blew, and in such an environment, Sun Bing was in a very good mood.
After everything was ready, he carefully took out the bottle of Body Tempering Pill from the side.
The bottle was crystal clear, looking quite luxurious, but what was more important were the Medicinal Pills inside.
Each bottle contained three Body Tempering Pills, which were priceless, something Sun Bing had never come into contact with before.
As soon as the bottle cap was opened, a faint medicinal fragrance could be smelled.
Looking at the Body Tempering Pill again, it was about the size of a pinky finger and pale yellow in appearance.
Although it looked ordinary, an ordinary Cultivator could not afford a bottle even if they worked desperately for a month; it was truly a rare item.
Since it had already been taken out, Sun Bing no longer hesitated.
He immediately sealed the bottle to prevent the remaining medicinal efficacy from dissipating, and then put the Body Tempering Pill in his hand into his mouth.
There was no legendary “melting in the mouth”; Sun Bing only felt a strong medicinal taste spread throughout his entire mouth.
The taste was somewhat unbearable and quite bitter, but good medicine tastes bitter, and no one would be willing to give up such a precious Medicinal Pill.
Sun Bing’s expression remained unchanged, and he immediately swallowed it forcibly.
It was somewhat magical; the originally bitter Medicinal Pill, once it entered his stomach, instantly burst with medicinal power, transforming into a warm current that flowed throughout his body.
For a moment, Sun Bing felt extremely comfortable wherever the warm current passed.
His body was like it had been hungry for a long time, greedily sucking it in, and Sun Bing could clearly feel his body’s call.
However, before he could enjoy the process, there was a faint pain again.
Every place the warm current passed through, a sharp pain came, which made Sun Bing wonder, was this the feeling after taking a Body Tempering Pill?
Fortunately, it was completely within his tolerable range.
But as the warm current passed through more places, the pain became more and more intense.
The pain seemed to be cumulative, making it unbearable.
It was a good thing that Sun Bing’s mental willpower had become quite firm over the past ten years; otherwise, he would definitely not have been able to endure it.
At the same time, he was still wondering why an ordinary Body Tempering Pill caused him such pain.
In fact, what Sun Bing did not know was that although the Body Tempering Pill was used for Body Tempering, the effect of the first pill was the best, because the body had never been exposed to the Body Tempering Pill before, so there was no drug resistance at all, and the warm current could spread throughout the body.
But one point needed attention: the mind must be clear, because during the process of taking it, there would be intense pain, and the longer one persisted, the more benefits one would gain, and the greater one’s future achievements would be.
This was not only because the entire body could be tempered in the end, but also because the longer one persisted, the stronger one’s perseverance and willpower would be, and having perseverance and willpower was a prerequisite for becoming a strong person.
This was also why Sun Bing was taking it now; if it were ten years ago, he would probably have fainted from the pain in a short time.
The changes brought about by these ten years were quite significant.
After a long while, Sun Bing felt his entire body had been permeated by the warm current, and the pain had spread throughout his body.
Even he found the pain somewhat difficult to resist.
Just as Sun Bing was about to give up, suddenly, the pain all over his body disappeared as if it had never existed.
What followed was a sense of physical satisfaction, as if his body was full.
His entire physical strength had actually increased by a full thirty percent after this one Medicinal Pill.
One must know that he was no longer an ordinary person; he was already at the third Realm of Body Tempering, and his physical strength was already quite high.
And this thirty percent was almost equivalent to all the strength of a Body Tempering first Realm.
One can imagine how great the boost was.
Even in Sun Bing’s calm expression, a hint of joy flashed.
Such an improvement was absolutely not to be ignored by any Body Tempering Realm Cultivator, and even more so for Sun Bing.
With this strength, it meant that his sword drawing speed was faster, his sword moves were more powerful, and he himself was stronger.
In short, it was an all-round improvement.
Of course, this was also because Sun Bing took his first Body Tempering Pill at the third Realm of Body Tempering and persisted through the entire process.
As for other ordinary people, such a situation would simply be impossible.
For example, Sun Yang, with the aid of Body Tempering Pills, only advanced to the third Realm of Body Tempering in ten years; could he wait?
Even if he endured it, when it came time to take the Body Tempering Pill, could he persist through the entire process?
Neither condition could be lacking, so even if outsiders were envious of Sun Bing’s gains, they simply could not force it.
After feeling the changes in his body, Sun Bing also felt a surge of excitement for the remaining Body Tempering Pills, even wanting to take another one.
However, his clear rationality told him that it was best not to take them continuously now, otherwise, it would cause great harm to his body.
Moreover, he had not yet fully mastered his own strength.
Having strength but not being able to fully control it would result in significant flaws.
Sun Bing immediately put away the excitement in his eyes and stood by the cliff, holding a wooden sword.
His entire body was taut, like a sharp sword.
At this moment, he could clearly feel the strength within his body; every inch of his muscles contained considerable power.
If he were to strike in such a state, the power would be astonishing.
However, Sun Bing was not satisfied with this, as there was still a great mountain in his Family.
Although Sun Long was a hypocrite, his cultivation Realm was a solid Body Tempering eighth Realm.
Coupled with his high-level Martial Skill, even Steward Qin, who was at the Body Tempering ninth Realm, could not guarantee that he could defeat Sun Long, and Sun Bing’s target was him.
