Shattering Bones to Ascend

Born with a hollow dantian that leaks every wisp of spiritual energy poured into it, he is deemed a cripple by all. But hidden within the heart-protecting mirror his father left behind is a single drop of essence blood—with each shattering of his bones, they harden tenfold. By the third shattering, mortal flesh transforms into an indestructible body. While others cultivate spiritual power, he cultivates his bones. While others borrow from heaven and earth, he trusts only himself. In a blacksmith shop on the outer fringes of Qinglan Sect, a handyman who has swung his hammer for three long years is determined to swing his fists all the way into the heavens above.
