Chapter 58: Molten Iron Refining Skin, Another Breakthrough!

In the evening

Wei Hong returned to Tianbao Lane with a box of cakes and a bag of braised beef.

The children in the lane were playing and fighting, and the neighbors were eating and drinking.

These real human fireworks made him feel good every time he saw them.

"Brother Hong, you're back!"

"You can't call me Brother Hong, you have to call me Wei the butcher."

"Hahaha, old Wei has a good grandson!"

As they walked along, the neighbors joked and joked.

While Wei Hong was greeting happily, he took out candy from his arms and gave it to the children. Soon, all the children in the lane crowded over happily.

It has been a few months since we moved here!

The Wei family has gradually integrated into this place, and the atmosphere between the neighbors is very harmonious and friendly.

"Look, look!" Aunt Wang next door said happily: "Brother Hong brings candy to the children every now and then, you are going to spoil them!"

"It's not worth much."

Wei Hong smiled indifferently.

After the children reluctantly asked him to leave, he returned home.

At this time, Grandma Wang and her grandchildren had already cooked dinner. Chunlan and Qiuju saw him coming back, one took the cakes and beef from him, and the other hurriedly brought a basin of water.

"Brother Wei, wash your hands, you can eat soon!" Qiuju said with a smile.

"Don't be so troublesome, I'll go to the well to wash my hands by myself." Wei Hong said dissatisfiedly: "Don't always think of yourself as a servant, it's too formal!"

"I'm happy to do so." Qiuju smiled.

Wei Hong shook his head and said nothing more.

Just as he was about to invite everyone to have dinner together, Qiuju put down the basin and took out a set of blue brocade clothes from the house, saying: "Brother Wei, try this set of clothes first. I made it for you. If it doesn't fit, I will change it."

"Okay, thank you for your hard work!"

Wei Hong didn't refuse again.

He often bought some cloth to take home. Grandma Wang and her grandchildren were very skillful. His and his grandfather's clothes were all sewn by them, which were more comfortable than the ready-made clothes in the general tailor shop.

The brocade clothes sewn by Qiu Ju this time were also good!

Not only were the stitches fine and the layers clear, but the inner layer also had specially designed hidden pockets.

The joints of the hands and feet were also widened, which was just right for a warrior like him who needed to show off his skills.

"Just right!" Wei Hong tried it and said, "No need to change it, just like this! Everyone, let's eat first. I bought Lin Ji's braised beef today."

"Yes, yes, yes, let's eat first, I'm starving!"

"Wow, it smells so good!"

Laughter and joy suddenly rang out in the small courtyard.

Wei Hong is now well-off, and there are three or five dishes on the table every day. Pork, mutton, fish, and beef are constantly available every day, and the oil and water are very sufficient.

Grandma Wang's face is also much rosier than before.

Chunlan and Qiuju are no longer as thin as before, and are becoming more and more like a graceful young lady. They even successfully joined the embroidery room of Hongyun Chamber of Commerce as embroiderers.

Now the two of them can earn two or three taels of hard-earned money every month!

Grandma Wang's family is gradually getting better off.

"The life now is really something I dare not even dream of." Grandma Wang remembered something while eating, and couldn't help wiping away tears: "Thanks to the kindness of you two grandparents, otherwise we..."

"Sister Wang, look at what you said, and you said these again!" Old Wei hurriedly comforted her.

Wei Hong also hurriedly picked up some food to stop her sighing, and said: "Grandma Wang, don't say these depressing words, come on, keep eating."

"Okay, okay, keep eating!"

The guests and hosts had a happy meal.

After eating, Wei Hong immediately devoted himself to practicing martial arts.

For two months, he practiced hard every day, refining his skin with various rough means day and night. The skin membranes all over his body suffered hellish torture, which was even more terrifying than going through a mountain of knives and a pot of oil.

Growth under pain is also very rapid!

Although his progress in refining his skin was getting slower and slower, after two months, he finally reached the limit of the middle stage of refining his skin. Tonight is the best time for him to break through.

"I have to shed my skin again!"

Wei Hong asked Qiu Ju to stay outside the training room and not allow anyone to disturb him.

He lit the furnace as usual, pulled the bellows and started to boil the molten iron.

This time he didn't use copper water, but specially asked the blacksmith to make a new pot mixed with some black iron, and then put the iron block in to start boiling.

Iron has a higher melting point than copper, and the temperature required is also higher!

Wei Hong took great efforts to melt the iron block into liquid.

Then he began to put his palm into the molten iron.

"Zizizizi!"

A burst of white smoke rose, accompanied by severe pain.

Wei Hong did not wail, and even his expression did not change at all.

After washing his whole body with copper water every day for such a long time, his skin membrane had already been as hard as if it was coated with layers of copper water, and his endurance had already been qualitatively improved. This kind of pain was nothing to him.

Of course, the effect of iron water on skin refining was also amazing.

After a while, Wei Hong once again experienced the pain of skin and flesh being torn apart and blood and flesh being boiled. This kind of pain was a hundred times more terrible than lingchi.

If it were not for the continuous restoration of vitality, he would not dare to be so reckless.

Gradually, Wei Hong began to splash the iron water all over his body.

He did not miss any place and kept applying high-temperature iron water.

The pain began to increase exponentially. Even though Wei Hong had long been accustomed to the severe pain, he could not help but grit his teeth and look hideous at this moment.

Unfortunately, after a while, the skin refining progress was still stuck at 99/100!

The last step restricted him tightly, and he couldn't break through no matter how hard he tried.

"Damn it!"

A trace of madness rose in Wei Hong's eyes.

He glanced at the huge amount of vitality accumulated on his attribute board.

He grabbed the towel and stuffed it into his mouth, and then lay directly in the iron pot.

"Puff puff puff!"

The hot molten iron splashed all around.

An even more exaggerated white smoke quickly enveloped the entire training room.

More than half of Wei Hong's body was soaked in the molten iron!

The horrible pain came like a tide, and he couldn't help but let out a terrifying roar.

But he still endured it!

One breath, two breaths!

Three breaths, five breaths!

Just when Wei Hong was almost cooked!

His blood and qi began to surge wildly.

"Hu!"

"Hu!"

Wei Hong gasped heavily.

He escaped from the iron pot with his last bit of strength and fell to the ground in the training room.

In the last moment before he fainted, he chose to add points crazily!

Then his eyes went dark and he passed out completely.

In a daze, he felt the warm and powerful vitality constantly repairing his injuries, his whole body was itchy, and his skin began a new round of transformation.

The old skin on his body began to break and fall off layer by layer!

He was like a snake shedding its skin. Unknowingly, the new skin had broken free from its shackles and appeared. Although it was white and tender, it had a faint metallic temperament.

Even the flesh and blood under Wei Hong's skin changed inadvertently!

Every beat of his heart carried the rolling blood and qi, which began to flow throughout his body.
