# Chapter 1168: Something Is Coming
Wasn't the Luo family's approach essentially using familial affection to threaten Shanmao?
Forcing her to make a choice?
Jiangnan was simply putting the Luo family's future on the table as a bargaining chip!
Just giving them a taste of their own medicine!
As soon as he said this, Luo Yuhui and Yun Jin were left speechless!
Even with such a short time together,
The two could still tell that Jiangnan was no hot-headed young kid!
He was extremely shrewd in how he handled things!
Clearly, the Luo family couldn't control him just by using Shanmao as leverage!
And there was the Chen family's precedent as a warning!
Both of them looked dejected now, their eyes filled with guilt as they looked at Shanmao!
Yun Jin tightly gripped Shanmao's hand, her voice choked with emotion!
(｡థ﹏థ)"Ya~ Mom has let you down, you've suffered so much alone outside all these years, haven't you?"
"And coming back to face all this, it's Mom..."
Shanmao couldn't bear to see her mother cry, her eyes red as she shook her head!
(°¯᷄‸¯᷅°)"Mom! Don't say anymore, I understand..."
Luo Yuhui let out a long sigh!
(︶_︶٥)"Ask the old man. I don't have the authority to decide this!"
Jiangnan's heart leaped with joy!
He relented?
That means there's hope!
So he turned his gaze to Luo Jiaoyang!
(๑•̀～•́)"Old man! I'll ask you just once—do you want to be trapped in this small room until you die, watching the Luo family decline step by step?"
"Or do you want to make one more gamble? Become the one who changes your family's history and leaves your name in the annals?"
"My good brother Zhu is almost ninety, but he's still dancing square dances with Auntie Yanhong every day!"
Luo Jiaoyang: !!!
The old man dropped his bucket, "Hehehe" trying to say something, but because of the hole in his throat, no sound came out!
Jiangnan reached out and stuffed a small ginseng into his mouth!
The wound on his throat healed, his complexion turning rosy, and two streams of noseblood dripped like a leaky faucet!
You could see how weak he was!
-`(›ᵒДᵒ᷅‹)´-"Can you really complete the derivation of Lingji Yugu?"
Jiangnan grinned, raising his hand and shooting out a strand of spirit thread!
(๑‾᷄ٹ‾᷅)つ〰〰〰
"What do you think?"
Luo Jiaoyang's pupils dilated. How could he not recognize this as the Bei family's technique of turning spirit power into threads?
The level of condensation was even better than the old lady of the Bei family could achieve!
Luo Jiaoyang struggled to stand up from the bed!
With a "Boom!"
The steel floor under his feet was like mud, ruthlessly crushed through,
Sinking all the way to his calves!
Jiangnan looked horrified. What kind of weight was this? A hundred tons? More than that!
"Good! I accept your conditions! But only if it completely solves the Luo family's problems!"
Before Jiangnan could reply, a loud crash came from the mourning hall!
Someone shouted: (*ﾟ口ﾟ)!!"Holy shit! Second uncle and third uncle fell off! Someone help them up!"
In the mourning hall, several skeletons had been knocked down, their heads hitting the steel plates and denting them!
Several Luo family men strained their faces red trying to lift them back onto the altar!
Seeing this, Jiangnan didn't even know where to start complaining!
Then he said, "Just teach me!"
Luo Jiaoyang raised an eyebrow: -`(›◔～◔ิ‹)´-"My Lingji Yugu isn't so easy to learn. With so little time, I don't know if you can..."
Jiangnan: (≖_≖)"If you keep dawdling, by the time I finish deriving it, you might not even be alive to practice it!"
Luo Jiaoyang almost choked on his noseblood. Do you have to curse me like that?
[Grudge Value from Luo Jiaoyang +1000!]
You're that confident, huh?
Don't come begging me to teach you a second time when you can't learn it!
Then he just started reciting the method out loud!
Jiangnan looked thoughtful, listening intently!
(๑•̌ก•̑๑) Hmm~
He began operating according to what was said, just starting out!
[Skill Triggered! Spirit Art • Lingji Yugu (Beginner): LV0!]
[Do you want to add Skill Points?]
Would Jiangnan pamper him?
Let's upgrade to max first and see what it does!
[Add Skill Points: 1,111,000!]
[Skill Upgrade! Spirit Art • Lingji Yugu (Max Level): LV0!]
Countless principles, meridian operation charts, and various knowledge flooded into Jiangnan's mind!
Jiangnan was stunned!
"(ºДº*)
Essentially, Lingji Yugu still involved passing spirit power through various extraordinary meridians, changing the nature of the spirit power!
Using this special spirit power to destroy muscle cells, then reorganize them!
This created stronger muscles, then the spirit power seeped into the bones through the muscles, increasing bone density and changing their properties!
Clearly, the Luo family had taken the wrong path! They didn't focus on muscle tempering, only strengthening the bones!
And their method was wrong, resulting in the bones turning black!
At max level, one could freely change their bone weight by infusing spirit power!
But mastering Lingji Yugu wasn't something that happened overnight!
Strengthening muscles and bones required a process!
It wasn't like you understood the cultivation method and could use it immediately!
Also, the limit of strengthening varied based on personal level and physical condition!
The limit would increase as the level rose!
If that was the case, the Luo family had all been practicing it wrong. Correcting them would be troublesome!
Everyone in the room looked at Jiangnan's furrowed brow and began whispering among themselves!
"It took me over a year just to figure out those meridians and acupoints, and three years to get started! Jiangnan thinks he can learn it just by listening?"
"He's still too young. Lingji Yugu is no ordinary complexity!"
"He's probably already forgotten what the old man said earlier!"
Jiangnan waved his hand!
(︶～︶๑)۶"Alright! You don't need to say anymore!"
Luo Jiaoyang grinned!
-`(›¯ิʖ̫¯‹)´-"What? Can't remember anymore? I knew it! I'll have my eldest son organize a set of notes for you!"
"Take your time studying them. If there's anything you don't understand, feel free to ask anytime..."
Jiangnan shook his head: "No! I mean there's no need to keep reciting. I've learned it and completed the derivation!"
"You've all been practicing it completely wrong!"
As soon as he said this, everyone stared at Jiangnan in shock!
Luo Changge: (･᷄ὢ･᷅)"Brother-in-law! Isn't that a bit too much bragging? Even I, who took two years to get started, was considered a prodigy!"
"You haven't even been at it for two minutes! I..."
Before he could finish, Shanmao punched him on the head, creating a smoky red bump!
(งᵒ̌皿ᵒ̌)ง"Shut up! Or I'll beat you to death!"
Luo Changge held his head, looking wronged!
୧(#)꒦ິ口꒦ີ)୨
Luo Jiaoyang's expression froze!
-`(›•̌Д•̑‹)´-"Kid! You could learn anything else, but don't learn bragging!"
"Confidence is good, but overconfidence is arrogance! Still..."
With a loud "Boom!", Jiangnan's spirit power surged, his muscles swelling like a balloon!
He chanted: "Spirit power starts from the Tianzhu point, passes through Chengshan, Heyang, Fengmen..."
"Using spirit power to forge muscles! Using spiritual muscles to refine bones! Lingji Yugu complements each other, neither can be missing!"
Jiangnan practiced and recited at the same time!
Only then did Jiangnan realize that his body had accumulated a lot of cool energy!
When he ran Lingji Yugu, that cool energy was also mobilized!
Assisting in muscle forging and bone refining!
Jiangnan was stunned. Wasn't this cool energy from all the Dali he'd been soaking in for no reason?
Originally, he couldn't mobilize this cool energy at all; it just passively strengthened his body!
But under the effect of Lingji Yugu, the accumulated cool energy began actively strengthening his muscles and bones!
What would normally take time to cultivate with Lingji Yugu was quickly completed with the help of the cool energy!
Jiangnan's physical fitness, strength, and bone density all increased!
With a "Boom!", Jiangnan's feet sank deep into the steel plate, leaving two footprints!
Luo Tianqing's eyes bulged!
(|||ಠ口ಠ)"What the hell? In just this short time, your weight has exceeded ten tons?"
"And you're only Platinum?"
Luo Changge was also dumbfounded. Normally, at Jiangnan's level, his weight should be the same as his, around a ton or so!
How could he...
Jiangnan spread his hands: ʅ(･´‸･｀)ʃ"My original physical condition was already comparable to Diamond level. What's so surprising about that?"
At this moment, everyone had a black question mark face?
(´ﾟωﾟ)?
This isn't surprising?
But then Jiangnan casually walked around and jumped!
He didn't leave footprints on the steel plate!
Jiangnan clenched his fists: "Complete Lingji Yugu allows you to adjust your body weight by injecting spirit power into your bones!"
"Normally, my weight should be around a thousand catties! If I want, I can instantly increase it to ten tons!"
Luo Jiaoyang almost spat out blood!
Damn!
In the time it takes to fart, you've caught up with my twenty-plus years of hard work?
And just by listening, he could tell that Jiangnan's theory was absolutely correct!
Just the ability to adjust weight alone was countless times better than what they had before!
No one could stay calm now!
Were geniuses not even this impressive?
Luo Changge was in awe: "Nan Shen indeed lives up to his name!"
Luo Jiaoyang said excitedly: "Speak! Continue! How to practice next?"
But Jiangnan's expression turned strange!
(•︠～•︡)"Wait! It seems like something is coming!"
Luo Yuhui swallowed his saliva: "What is it? Inspiration? Is Lingji Yugu not the limit yet?"
Then came a "Boom!", and Jiangnan's level jumped from Platinum Nine all the way to Platinum Peak!
All the accumulated cool energy in his body was used up, and Jiangnan felt refreshed and unblocked!
He had actually risen one star!
Jiangnan scratched his head: ୧(ૢ⁼̴ꇴ⁼̴)"Sorry, just went up a star!"
Luo Yuhui's eyes nearly popped out!
What the hell!
Do you immortals always break through so casually?
No one dared to doubt Jiangnan anymore!
Luo Tianqing said in shock: (•'△'•๑)᭄"This is simply a miracle!"
Shanmao's eyes were full of relief: (∗❛ั◡❛ั)"How many miracles has Xiao Nan created?"
Jiangnan grinned: "But you're right, this isn't the final version of Lingji Yugu!"
