Chapter 414

“Complete tempering? That’s impossible!”

Meng Qi and the others were all dumbfounded . That was a term they had never even heard about . Sixteen tempering was already the limit .

That was because a person’s body could only bear so much energy from one kind of medicinal pill . In other words, the limit was sixteen bones . By the time you had tempered sixteen bones, your body would have formed a high resistance towards further Bone Tempering Pills . There was no way to temper a seventeenth bone .

Furthermore, the amount of resources required just to temper sixteen bones was already astronomical . A small sect would have to save up for millenia in order to acc.u.mulate that many resources .

Seeing their startled expressions, Long Chen smiled slightly and said, “Trust me . I’m not joking with you . There are people who undergo complete tempering . Mo Nian is already walking the path of complete tempering . ”

To completely temper every bone in the body; that was far too shocking . Meng Qi and the others had never even imagined such a thing . That had already surpa.s.sed any of their understanding .

“In truth, complete tempering is not as unimaginable as you seem to think . I trust that many sects all know methods to undergo complete tempering; they just don’t use them,” said Long Chen .

“Why not? Because they can’t handle the cost?” asked Meng Qi

Long Chen nodded . “One reason is the high cost . The other reason is that after a person has made the decision to undergo complete tempering, then they absolutely must temper every bone in your body . Only once they temper every single one of them can they advance to the next realm .

“If something unexpected happens to just a single bone and they don’t succeed in tempering just that one, then in that lifetime, they would never be able to break through to the Meridian Opening realm . In other words, a sect would spend countless resources to create a single amazing Bone Forging expert, all for that investment to end there . ”

Hearing this, the four of them were all dumbfounded . They had never heard of this matter . As for Long Chen, he also wouldn’t have known about this without his Pill G.o.d memories that gave him information about the Bone Tempering Pills .

When he had seen Mo Nian, he had sensed that his aura was incredibly condensed without the slightest bit leaking outside .

That was completely abnormal . No matter how high a person’s cultivation base was, that was still something difficult to achieve . Furthermore, Mo Nian was not deliberately bringing about that situation .

At that time, Long Chen had realized that Mo Nian had decided to undergo complete tempering . That was the only way his aura would be so condensed .

“All things in this world have advantages and disadvantages . So I’m asking whether or not you all want to walk the path of complete tempering,” said Long Chen solemnly .

The four of them looked at each other, and it was Tang Wan-er who said, “Long Chen, complete tempering is fine and all, but we don’t have that many resources . ”

“First ignore the problem of resources . I’ll handle that myself . I just want to know whether or not you’re willing to take this risk and undergo complete tempering with me,” said Long Chen .

“Since you’ve put it that way, do we even have a choice?” Meng Qi helplessly laughed .

“Putting it that way, does that mean you agree?” smiled Long Chen .

“Perhaps this is what it means if you marry a chicken, follow the chicken; if you marry a dog, follow the dog,” laughed Chu Yao stealthily .

“Yao-er, you bad girl!”

Meng Qi rebuked her and reached out to tickle Chu Yao, but Chu Yao laughed and dodged .

After this laughter, the grave atmosphere had lessened a great deal . Meng Qi said, “Long Chen, tell us what we should do . We’ll listen to you . ”

Long Chen was extremely moved inside by their trust in him . They had essentially placed their own fates in his hands . That made him feel like the responsibility on his shoulders had grown even heaver .

Taking a deep breath, he calmed himself down and said, “Originally, I didn’t want you all to take this risk . However, after speaking with Mo Nian today, I was greatly shaken .

“In the future, it is very likely that we’ll be facing countless difficulties . The slightest mistake might cause a person’s life to be lost . And the loss of just one person will bring endless sorrow for everyone else .

“If we don’t want to have to feel that pain, then we all need absolute strength . Only powerful strength can guarantee our survival .

“You’ve also all seen that our enemies are all top geniuses . They were all blessed by the heavens, and we are at too great of a disadvantage .

“So I want everyone to choose complete tempering . We can’t compare to them in terms of their innate superiority, so we’ll make it up through our own hard work .

“Since you’ve all chosen to trust me, then I won’t bother saying any meaningless words . Starting now, follow what I tell you to do . ”

Long Chen had them first organize all the medicinal ingredients in their spatial rings, and he also took out over a hundred spatial rings of his own as well .

If they were to encounter medicinal ingredients they didn’t recognize, they could hand it to Long Chen for him to identify . In terms of medicinal ingredients, there was no one more familiar with them than him .

There was an incredible amount of items in these hundred-plus spatial rings, and so even though the five of them worked day and night, it took them two full days before organizing all the medicinal ingredients .

They had only just finished organizing the medicinal ingredients when a figure rushed over .

“Hahaha, boss, brother really missed you!”

The person who had come was Guo Ran . As soon as he arrived, he gave Long Chen a fierce hug .

“Greetings sister-in-laws . ” Not waiting for Long Chen to say anything, Guo Ran hastily greeted the four women with such an appellation, causing them to blush .

Long Chen patted Guo Ran on the shoulders . “Why are you still at the peak of Tendon Transformation? Were you being lazy again?”

At this time, Guo Ran was surprisingly still at the peak of Tendon Transformation . That was something very dangerous within the current secret realm .
