Immortality: Starts with seeking good fortune and avoiding disaster!

**Chapter 21: Promotion to the Flesh Refining Realm**

"There should be a lot of silver here."

Xiao Fan entered the house and began to search for treasures inside.

He had finally arrived here, so he couldn't return empty-handed.

Just after searching for a moment, he found one hundred and twenty taels of silver in the house.

This made him feel very excited; it was an unprecedented sum of money.

"These people from the Dragon King Gang are indeed rich."

"How much people's fat and anointing have been plundered?"

"Whatever these guys steal, I will take it all back."

Xiao Fan felt comfortable all over.

Although the Xiao family had paid a lot of money to the Dragon King Gang over the years, it was impossible for it to add up to one hundred and twenty taels.

Now he could be considered as having snatched it all back from the Dragon King Gang.

It was equivalent to making up for all the losses he had incurred before returning.

With so much silver, he could live longer without having to work so hard every day.

Even with these silver coins, he could enter Tonghe County to buy various poisons.

By then, Mu Qingyao would also have some means of self-defense.

He would never let what happened today happen again.

Whoosh!

Thinking of this, Xiao Fan realized that there were no more treasures here, so he had no intention of staying. He quickly left the house under the cover of night.

Others were still drinking and chatting in their own rooms, not paying attention to the situation around Luo Chang and the others.

This was also normal.

After all, everyone had their own affairs; who cared about other people's matters?

Not long after, Xiao Fan rushed all the way, quickly left the fish farm, and returned to Osmanthus Village.

He felt completely relieved when he saw that he was far away from danger.

Immediately, a message came from the depths of his consciousness: "You took the initiative and poisoned Luo Chang's group to nip it in the bud. You survived a murderous disaster in advance. You have gained an eighth-grade opportunity and two hundred luck points."

Another eighth-grade opportunity?

Perceiving this message, Xiao Fan was immediately overjoyed. The previous two eighth-grade opportunities had brought him huge benefits and allowed his cultivation to improve by leaps and bounds.

Now there was another eighth-grade opportunity, and he couldn't help but wonder how much help it would provide.

With a slight movement, he clicked on this light spot in his sea of consciousness.

Boom~~

Immediately, a message spread: "Five days later, at 3:00 PM, ten miles southeast of the Osmanthus Village Pier, a fishing net will be dropped. Wait quietly, and you will have the opportunity to obtain the eighth grade."

"Can I get that eighth-grade opportunity in five days?"

After sensing this message, Xiao Fan felt very satisfied. He didn't need to obtain this eighth-grade opportunity immediately. As long as he could get it, that would be enough.

"By the way, now I've got two hundred more luck points."

"In other words, can the Soaring Snake Technique be improved again?"

Thinking of this, Xiao Fan's heart raced, and he opened the virtual panel.

Obviously, since he had obtained a large number of luck points, his skills could be enhanced.

However, having witnessed the villagers' miserable situation and the ferocity of the Dragon King Gang, he knew that he did not need to rush to improve all his skills. The most important factor was his own strength.

Only with strong strength could he protect his own safety.

Otherwise, he is just like an ant and could be killed by the enemy at any time.

"The improvement of the Soaring Snake Technique requires one hundred seventy luck points."

"Originally, it required two hundred luck points."

"But due to the hard work these days and Mu Qingyao's assistance only one hundred seventy luck points are necessary."

Xiao Fan did not hesitate and immediately improved his Soaring Snake Technique.

Boom~~

The next second, a mysterious energy immediately gushed out from the depths of his consciousness and quickly spread to every corner of his body, seeming to improve him like never before.

He felt that the skin all over his body had been tempered to the extreme, as tough as cowhide, with no flaws at all; it could be said to be round and flawless.

After the skin of his entire body had been quenched, this mysterious energy poured into every muscle, rapidly strengthening each one and increasing his overall strength accordingly.

Vaguely, Xiao Fan seemed to enter a state of enlightenment as his body automatically ran the Soaring Snake Breathing Technique.

The whole person seemed to transform into a divine beast, a Soaring snake, with every pore swallowing the mysterious substance between heaven and earth.

With his body as the center, a huge cloud formed.

It felt as if he were a soaring snake hidden deep in the clouds and mist, traveling around the world.

Fortunately, it was late at night and there was no one around.

Otherwise, such a vision would undoubtedly attract attention.

Just a few minutes later, this enhancement was completely over.

"Flesh Refining Realm; now I am a flesh refining realm warrior."

Xiao Fan clenched his fists and noticed that the muscles all over his body bulged, and he also had eight extra abdominal muscles.

His entire body seemed to have been carved and tempered.

Every inch of muscle was filled with explosive power.

He felt that the strength in his body had surged to 800 kilograms.

Compared to before, he didn't know how much more tyrannical it was.

One punch could kill; the strength of the punch alone was enough to take down a cow.

If the skin-tempering realm increases a warrior's resistance to strikes, then the flesh-refining realm increases the warrior's pure combat effectiveness, causing the warrior's strength to skyrocket.

Among the Dragon King Gang, flesh-refining realm warriors were already considered elite and could be called gold medal fighters.

Very few warriors could reach this level.

Of course, because he practiced the most advanced martial arts techniques, his power naturally increased more than that of other warriors.

"After reaching this level, it seems that my five senses have more than doubled compared to before."

Xiao Fan marveled within himself.

To be honest, compared to other warriors, his increased strength wasn't an exaggeration and remained within a reasonable range.

But the improvement of his five senses was truly remarkable.

His senses of smell, hearing, and dynamic vision, etc., seemed to have reached an inhuman level.

Why had he not known any martial arts before, yet his combat power had still surpassed that of warriors of the same level?

It relied on his extraordinary five senses.

These extraordinary five senses were equivalent to a natural fighting talent exclusive to other warriors.

Fighting instincts akin to a wild beast.

Every move made by others seemed to him to be as slow as a snail.

In this manner, even without knowing any martial arts, he could easily defeat his enemies.

It could be said that this was the terrifying effect brought by the Soaring Snake Technique, which could not be compared to any other martial arts technique.
