After obtaining the Bone Cleansing Pill, Gu Sheng went straight to War God Peak to find Lin Miaomiao.
"Senior Sister Lin, this is the Bone Cleansing Pill refined from the Bone Cleansing Flower. We were lucky—Elder Wang outdid himself this time and managed to refine seven pills!"
Lin Miaomiao’s face lit up with delight upon hearing this: "Really?" She hurriedly took the jade box, opened it, and, seeing the seven Bone Cleansing Pills inside, her excitement surged like a tidal wave.
"It’s true! Let’s go, let’s go find Dyson and the others now."
Dyson and Huang Miaoyin’s injuries weren’t particularly severe; after treatment and a few days of rest, they had mostly recovered, leaving only Mo Buwen, who was still confined to his quarters bedridden due to his heavy injuries.
The four of them arrived together at Mo Buwen’s residence.
"Senior Sister Lin, what brings you all here?"
Seeing Gu Sheng and the others, Mo Buwen struggled to sit up.
Most of Mo Buwen’s injuries had been inflicted by Lin Miaomiao herself. Feeling deeply apologetic, she pressed him back down onto the bed: "You need to stay put and rest! We’ve come to bring you good news."
"The Bone Cleansing Pills have been refined?" Mo Buwen instantly guessed it upon seeing the joy on their faces.
Lin Miaomiao nodded vigorously: "Not only refined! We got a full seven pills!"
Lin Miaomiao took out the jade box and handed each person present a pill.
"What do you all think we should do with the remaining two pills?" Lin Miaomiao asked, glancing around at the group.
Dyson was the first to speak: "The Bone Cleansing Pill is only useful for those in the Bronze Bone Realm. The extras don’t do much for us, so why not sell them? After all, Junior Brother Gu advanced the money for the pill refinement. We can pay him back after selling them."
Huang Miaoyin also nodded in agreement: "I support that! I just happen to be short of money for a first-rate martial art I’ve had my eye on. This works out perfectly—I’ll have enough now."
Gu Sheng and Mo Buwen had no objections, and Lin Miaomiao naturally agreed as well.
"Alright then! I’ll head to the Merit Hall to sell them later, and after that, we’ll split the remaining money evenly."
Lin Miaomiao asked Gu Sheng and the others to wait there while she headed to the Merit Hall herself.
After the recent events, the bond between the group had grown closer. The four of them chatted and laughed for half an hour before Lin Miaomiao returned from the Merit Hall.
As soon as Lin Miaomiao entered the door, she waved a thick stack of silver notes at them: "We sold them for a total of 2.2 million taels! Junior Brother Gu, how much did the pill refinement cost altogether? I’ll pay you back first."
Gu Sheng brought out a list, which Lin Miaomiao glanced at before reimbursing him for the pill refinement costs. The remaining money was divided equally among the five of them.
Locking himself inside his wooden cabin, Gu Sheng took out the Bone Cleansing Pill.
As he inhaled its medicinal aroma and felt the restless energy stirring within his body, Gu Sheng’s heart began to race. He had been stuck at the Bronze Bone Realm for quite some time. Despite the assistance of his panel, he still faced a gap to the Silver Bone Realm. Now, this single Bone Cleansing Pill would allow him to cross that gap, sparing him countless hours of arduous cultivation!
Gu Sheng placed the Bone Cleansing Pill into his mouth and swallowed it.
As the pill entered his stomach, it transformed into a warm surge of energy. Gu Sheng immediately felt his body temperature rise, his whole body growing warm and cozy. If he were to look into a mirror at this moment, he would see his skin had turned beet-red, like a fully cooked shrimp.
Inside his body, his energy was boiling over, rushing toward his bones with intense force despite his inability to fully control it.
Under the impact of this energy, Gu Sheng could distinctly feel the strength of his bones increasing rapidly. If he were capable of inner vision, he would see the surface of his bones starting to shift from a coppery yellow to a silvery white.
Noticing the transformation happening within, Gu Sheng quickly sat cross-legged, adopting the posture for cultivation, and began to calm his mind to refine the medicinal power.
Under his control, the pill-induced energy surged like waves, repeatedly washing over his bones. Gradually, both the strength of his body and his energy continued to grow.
This grueling cultivation lasted a full seven days.
At the end of the seven days, Gu Sheng’s body released a powerful wave of energy as his aura erupted, flipping over even the small wooden table nearby.
