31: Chapter 31 The Aloof and Noble Goddess! Waaah~

"Hoo—" Zhou Liangan let out a long sigh of relief.

The female bodyguard stepped out of the driver's seat, came to the back row, and opened the car door.

Zhou Liangan took a slight step and calmly stepped down from the spacious and comfortable back seat.

He swept his eyes around; this private bank, located in the core area of the provincial capital, was extraordinarily imposing, and those coming and going were all well-dressed celebrities and dignitaries.

Under the shade of a tree not far away, a man had long been waiting. The man's appearance and Physique were seven or eight parts similar to Liang Zichen; his facial contours, height, and weight were all perfectly matched, and at first glance, he could pass for the real thing.

Seeing Zhou Liangan appear, the man immediately hurried up to meet him. His face was filled with just the right amount of flattering smiles, his waist bent very low, and his tone was respectful to the core, "Young Master Zhou, you have finally arrived."

Zhou Liangan's gaze swept over him indifferently. Being swept by this gaze, the man only felt his back tighten slightly, and he became even more respectful.

Zhou Liangan didn't say much, just nodded slightly as a response.

The man hurriedly turned to the side to lead the way, "Young Master Zhou, please this way. The procedures have all been prepared and can be processed at any time."

Zhou Liangan nodded again and stepped forward to follow.

With the overwhelming influence of the Su Family in the provincial capital, coupled with the fact that Su Wanyun had already prepared the full set of compliant procedures, and with this "Liang Zichen" who was enough to pass for the real one stepping forward, the entire process was smoother than imagined.

The bank manager accompanied him in person throughout the whole process, his attitude was attentive and thorough, and he dared not be the slightest bit negligent. With the green light all the way, in just over half an hour, the two Advanced safes that Liang Zichen had hidden for a long time were successfully opened.

The moment the safe was opened, there were no gold, silver, or jewelry inside, only a yellowed, ancient-looking thread-bound book lying quietly. The pages exuded the stale atmosphere of accumulated years, and the handwriting on the cover was vigorous and powerful, carrying a touch of ancient simplicity.

Zhou Liangan went to another bank's safe, opened it, and took out another ancient-looking book.

After taking these two books, Zhou Liangan sat in the back row of the car, feeling the heavy texture of the ancient books in his hands.

One was the Profound Rank Medium Grade Cultivation Technique, Hunyuan Technique.

The other was the same Rank Profound Rank Medium Grade Martial Skill, Baji Fist.

Looking at these two ancient books in his hands, Zhou Liangan's face was instantly filled with unconcealable joy, and his eyes shone brightly.

With these two ancient books, he could officially step onto the path of Cultivation.

Zhou Liangan suppressed the excitement in his heart and didn't even return to Jiangcheng. He directly told the driver to turn the car around and head straight to Su Wanyun's villa; he couldn't wait to start dealing with these two Secret Manuals.

Su Wanyun's villa was spacious and quiet. Zhou Liangan walked straight to the second floor, locked the door, and cut off all interference from the outside world.

The room was simply furnished, and the floor was covered with a specially made non-slip mat.

Zhou Liangan sat cross-legged on the mat and spread the two Secret Manuals in front of him. With a thought, the familiar System panel immediately appeared in his mind. A pale blue light screen floated before his eyes, with various data clearly listed.

He didn't hesitate at all, his fingertips quickly operated on the virtual panel, directly selecting these two Profound Rank Cultivation Techniques, and issued the deduction command.

The moment the command was issued, the two ancient Secret Manuals in front of him seemed to be pulled by an invisible force, turning into two fine points of light that flashed through the air and then disappeared into thin air, all merging into the System panel.

Immediately after, two clear deduction cost prompts popped up on the panel, with eye-catching text:

[Baji Fist (Profound Rank Medium Grade)] deduced to [Baji Fist (Heaven Rank Medium Grade)], requires 1000 destiny points. Confirm deduction?

Zhou Liangan's eyes narrowed, and he chose "Yes" without hesitation.

The light screen jumped, and another prompt followed closely behind:

[Hunyuan Technique (Profound Rank Medium Grade)] deduced to [Hunyuan Technique (Heaven Rank Medium Grade)], requires 1000 destiny points. Confirm deduction.

"Confirm!" Zhou Liangan thought silently in his heart and chose to agree again.

As the two commands were issued, the System instantly operated. In just an instant, two strange streams of information flooded into Zhou Liangan's mind like a tide, clear and detailed, imprinting the Heaven Rank version of the Hunyuan Technique Mind-Cultivation Technique and Baji Fist Moves into his Sea of Consciousness.

Following that, two phantoms identical to his figure appeared out of thin air in the room. One phantom was surrounded by a faint golden light, and its Aura was steady and heavy. It was practicing the Heaven Rank Hunyuan Technique, each Move progressing step by step, and the circulation of the Cultivation Technique revealed the rhythm of heaven and earth.

The other phantom had a sharp Aura, with the wind of its fists whistling. Every punch thrown carried the sound of tearing through the air; it was the exquisite display of the Heaven Rank Baji Fist. Every movement already contained a trace of the laws of heaven and earth, and the fist momentum was fierce and domineering. It truly possessed the terrifying power to shatter mountains and calm seas with a single punch. That imposing domineering Aura made Zhou Liangan's heart surge with excitement.

He quietly comprehended the practice of the two phantoms, his mind immersed in it. In just a moment, he had completely mastered these two Heaven Rank Cultivation Techniques and Martial Skills, as if he had been practicing hard for many years, handling them with ease.

The Cultivation Technique deduction was completed, but Zhou Liangan did not stop. His gaze fell back on the System mall. With a swipe of his finger, he directly spent 3000 points to exchange for two Heaven Rank Spiritual Plants—Dragon Bone Grass.

The introduction about Dragon Bone Grass on the System panel was extremely clear: Born in the place where the ancient Dragon fell, it contains the Origin Qi of the Dragon, and using it to forge bones can nourish the bone marrow, contain Dragon Qi in the whole body, and forge supreme Jade Bones.

Looking at this introduction, Zhou Liangan understood in his heart.

This Dragon Bone Grass was a genuine top-tier Heaven Rank Spiritual Plant. In the ancient martial era, it was a divine object that could be met but not sought. Ordinary Martial Artists would treat even a single leaf as a treasure, and even top ancient martial families would only allow core direct descendants to use it.

According to the conventional usage in the ancient martial world, people would use Dragon Bone Grass for Alchemy. Although the effect would be greatly reduced, one Dragon Bone Grass could refine more than a dozen Bone Forging Pills, which was enough for several Disciples to use, making it very cost-effective.

For thousands of years, no one had ever dared to be so wealthy and imposing, using an entire Dragon Bone Grass to forge bones directly.

In everyone's eyes, this was a wasteful act of squandering heaven's gifts.

But Zhou Liangan didn't care. He only sought efficiency. Fearing that the medicinal power of one Dragon Bone Grass would not be enough to support him in stepping into the realm of Martial Artist in one go, he simply exchanged for two, seeking only stability and quick success.

If this matter were to spread, the families of the entire ancient martial world would have their jaws dropped in shock, and countless ancient martial Cultivators would be so angry that they would vomit three liters of blood and point at his nose to curse him as a prodigal son.

As soon as the thought fell, two Spiritual Plants that were lustrous and jade-like appeared out of thin air in front of Zhou Liangan, floating in mid-air.

The Dragon Bone Grass had a peculiar appearance; its roots and stems were like vigorous Dragon bones, its veins were clear, and its branches and leaves were emerald green and translucent white, with a jade-like texture. Faint Dragon Qi lingered around it. As soon as it appeared, the entire training room was filled with a thick and majestic Spiritual Qi.

Zhou Liangan reached out and grabbed the two Dragon Bone Grasses, holding them firmly in his palm. A surging, warm force immediately poured into his limbs and bones through his palm. The warmth instantly swept through his whole body, making him feel so comfortable that he couldn't help but sigh.

He didn't dare to delay, immediately closed his eyes to concentrate, and operated the Heaven Rank Hunyuan Technique he had just deduced. In an instant, a layer of faint golden light slowly spread from his body, as if coated with a layer of golden brilliance.

The trajectory of the Cultivation Technique became smoother and smoother, continuously drawing out the pure medicinal power within the Dragon Bone Grass, absorbing and refining it bit by bit, and guiding it all into the bones, starting the path of Bone Forging.

Bone Forging First Stage! Bone Forging Second Stage! Bone Forging Third Stage!

The medicinal power was strong, and coupled with the blessing of the Heaven Rank Hunyuan Technique, Zhou Liangan's cultivation soared like a rocket. A tingling sensation came from within his bones, and his originally ordinary bones were undergoing earth-shaking changes under the nourishment of the Dragon Qi.

In just half an hour, he had broken through to the Bone Forging Third Stage. The power within his body had already reached a terrifying level, and the surging force was galloping through his Meridians. If he continued, he was afraid it would exceed his own control.

Zhou Liangan made a decisive decision, stopped operating the Cultivation Technique, and slowly opened his eyes. A flash of golden light flickered in his eyes and disappeared.

At this moment, the two Dragon Bone Grasses had already been completely refined by him, and not a single bit of medicinal power had been wasted.

Just at this moment, a low and majestic Dragon roar suddenly sounded from within his body, shaking the house. It carried the awe-inspiring domineering Aura of the ancient Dragon, piercing through the walls of the training room and spreading towards the entire villa.

Zhou Liangan's heart moved, and he immediately used the method of internal vision to check himself. At this look, his eyes instantly erupted with extreme ecstasy.

He saw that the bones in his body had completely undergone a rebirth. The original white bones had all turned into a lustrous and translucent jade color, like the finest mutton-fat jade, with faint golden Dragon Qi circulating between the veins. Every bone was as hard as a Divine Artifact, with faint Dragon might lingering around it.

He had actually forged the Dragon Bone Jade Bone in one go!

This special Physique that combined both Dragon Bone and Jade Bone was a one-in-ten-thousand top-tier Physique, even in the heyday of ancient martial arts, which countless Martial Artists could not reach in their entire lives.

And he had easily succeeded by using only two Dragon Bone Grasses; this was really not difficult.

If those hard-Cultivators of the ancient martial era knew about this, they would probably be so angry that they would vomit three liters of blood on the spot and curse wildly.

Two Dragon Bone Grasses! How would this prodigal son know the preciousness of Dragon Bone Grass?

A single Dragon Bone Grass, after being refined into pills, would be enough to forge Dragon Bone and Jade Bone. But he was good, using two whole plants to forge bones directly; it was simply luxurious to an outrageous degree!

In the living room downstairs, Su Yixue was kneeling respectfully on the carpet waiting for orders. Her exquisite dress set off her graceful figure, but she dared not Move at all.

Suddenly, a heart-shaking Dragon roar came from the second floor. The sound was low and majestic, carrying an indescribable sense of oppression that pierced straight into the Soul.

Su Yixue's delicate body trembled violently, and she subconsciously shrank her shoulders. Her fair cheeks were full of astonishment. She slowly raised her head, her beautiful eyes filled with thick confusion and a trace of imperceptible awe.

She looked towards the direction of the second floor, silently pondering in her heart: Was that sound just now a hallucination? It was so majestic and awe-inspiring, not like something of the mortal world. What exactly made that sound?

Inside the training room upstairs, Zhou Liangan felt the power surging in his body, almost overflowing, and felt that his whole body was full of explosive energy. He slowly stood up.

With a crisp "crack" sound, the specially made non-slip mat under his feet was directly stepped through, and the hard marble floor underneath shattered in response, leaving a clear footprint.

He walked towards the door. With every step he took, the marble floor under his feet could not bear the weight and shattered one after another. The cracking sound was endless. Walking all the way down, a string of footprints of varying depths was left behind him, and the ground was covered in broken stones.

But he couldn't care about these at the moment, because although the medicinal power of the Dragon Bone Grass had been refined, it had quietly produced side effects.

The nature of the Dragon is lustful; that fiery heat originating from the Dragon's Origin was crazily breeding with the Dragon Qi in his body, flowing along the blood to his limbs and bones, making his whole body's blood like boiling magma, scorching and unbearable, and his eyes gradually dyed with a rich crimson.

Fortunately, Zhou Liangan's will was extremely firm, and he stabilized his mind in a moment.

His figure swayed, and he no longer took the stairs, jumping directly from the second-floor railing. His figure was like an agile leopard, bringing up a sharp wind, and he landed steadily in the center of the living room, stopping exactly in front of Su Yixue.

At this moment, Zhou Liangan's eyes were crimson like blood, and his body was surrounded by faint golden Dragon Qi. That terrifying pressure originating from the Dragon Bone Jade Bone and the fiery male Aura rushed towards her, carrying an irresistible dominance.

Su Yixue looked up and happened to meet his crimson eyes. The intensity surging inside them made her heart sink suddenly, and an indescribable fear instantly swept through her whole body. Her delicate body couldn't help but tremble slightly, and the words that had reached her mouth were scared back into her stomach.

Before Su Yixue could open her mouth to beg for mercy, Zhou Liangan...
