Of course, he ignored the technique used by students to break through to become unranked martial artists. This technique was probably created by an ancestor of the Lu family in order to allow his descendants to smoothly transition from ordinary people to martial artists.
However, the Martial Tribulation Scripture was only for people who were already martial artists!
Jiang Ming remembered some ancient books he had read. It was said that thousands of years ago, martial arts were quite popular in this world. In some major martial arts sects, there was no need to practice a technique in order to become an unranked martial artist. Instead, one only needed to temper the physical body in the simplest way to forcibly become an unranked martial artist.
"Perhaps the Martial Tribulation Scripture is also a martial arts technique from one of the great martial arts sects…" Jiang Ming muttered. If it was not so, in this era where martial arts were unpopular, who would create such a martial arts technique? Who could master it?
"It seems that martial arts were quite popular in the past. I don't know why it suddenly declined."
Jiang Ming shook his head and stopped thinking about these things. He began to practice according to the breathing and fist techniques recorded in the martial arts technique.
With his current strength, he only had to practice it once or twice to completely grasp its essence and feel the domineering aspect of this martial arts technique.
The meridians in his body buzzed. It was as if they were under some great pressure.
Soon, every single bone, meridian, and vein in his body began to break. Due to his immortality, they quickly healed. However, they seemed to have healed stronger than ever.
"The flaws and deficiencies that I had in the past are being fixed!" Jiang Ming was happy.
Even though he had broken through to the Grandmaster realm and had now cultivated even further, the flaws in the foundation of his physical body were still present.
He had never thought that the Martial Tribulation Scripture would be able to gradually patch up those flaws!
"The Martial Tribulation Scripture is exquisite! Looks like it's really useful!"
Jiang Ming was a little surprised and could not help but think, "This is a martial arts technique that can only be cultivated to the level of a first-class martial artist. What if it's even stronger? What if it can be cultivated after the Foundation Establishment Realm of martial arts?"
He also thought about how the Lu family's ancestors were able to cultivate this technique without being immortal! How did they do it?
"It seems that the Lu family is really unusual."
In the days that followed, Jiang Ming practiced the Martial Tribulation Scripture to smoothen all the older flaws in his foundation.

Time passed by slowly. Spring went and autumn came. Another year had passed.
Jiang Ming was considered a regular resident of Clearwater City now. He was familiar with the neighbors, and he even joined the Black Horse Gang temporarily and went hunting a few times with them. He was paid for his efforts and was given some demonic beast meat, which gave Lu Xiaoyu some nutrition for her to practice martial arts.
In the past year, Jiang Ming had also sneaked into other families and sects and read a lot of martial arts techniques. However, they were all ordinary techniques. He did not find any strange forbidden techniques like the Martial Tribulation Scripture.
That morning, Jiang Ming came back from outside the city with a wild deer. He walked into the Lu family's courtyard.
"What?" Jiang Ming was stunned. "It's already morning. Why isn't Old Lu out yet?"
Seeing Jiang Ming, Lu Qingfeng ran over with an anxious face.
"Yan Chixia, Xiaoyu didn't come back last night!"
