Chapter 40: The art of refining the body!
“Ding! Congratulations to the Host for obtaining the Hundred Refinements Treasure Body Technique!”
“The reward has been distributed to the System Space. The Host can view it at any time.”
A crystalline jade scroll pattern emerged, accompanied by the System’s notification sound.
“Hundred Refinements Treasure Body Technique?”
“Is this a Body Refining Cultivation Technique?”
A look of joy had just appeared on Lu Changsheng’s face, but then his expression stiffened.
Although he wanted to Cultivate a Cultivation Technique,
He wanted a Qi Refining Cultivation Technique, not a Body Refining Cultivation Technique.
Among Cultivators, there was also the concept of Body Refining, which was known as Body Cultivator.
Compared to Spell Cultivator, Body Cultivator could greatly compensate in the early stages for the Cultivator’s weak survival ability and poor close-quarters combat.
However, compared to Spell Cultivator, Body Cultivator consumed more time, effort, and money.
Most Cultivators simply did not have the time, energy, and financial resources to concurrently Cultivate a Body Refining Cultivation Technique, engaging in Dual Cultivation of both spells and body.
After all, for most Cultivators, Cultivation, Magic Treasure, and Divine Ability were the true Dao.
As for the Physical Body, it was good enough as long as it was adequate.
A dignified Cultivator, who would engage in close-quarters combat with you?
Body Cultivator only had a considerable advantage in the early stages of Cultivation.
“Alas, the first time I drew a Cultivation Technique, it was an auxiliary Cultivation Technique, and now I’ve got a Body Refining Cultivation Technique.”
“Is it that difficult to get a Qi Refining Cultivation Technique?”
Lu Changsheng shook his head and sighed.
“However, a Body Refining Cultivation Technique is a Body Refining Cultivation Technique. Having more skills is never a burden.”
“Moreover, the body is the capital for revolution. While other Cultivators don’t focus much on Body Refining, the path I will take in the future does require me to properly Cultivate my Physical Body.”
Lu Changsheng took a deep breath and said.
Naturally, he would not disdain the Body Refining Cultivation Technique.
It was just that, relatively speaking, he wanted a Qi Refining Cultivation Technique more at this stage.
However, as a Cultivator with four wives and six concubines, and who would gather more wives and concubines in the future,
He felt that he indeed had a need for Body Refining and needed to properly enhance his Physical Body.
Immediately, Lu Changsheng opened the System Space to view the Cultivation Technique he had obtained.
“Cultivation Technique: Hundred Refinements Treasure Body Technique”
“Grade: Orthodox Grade”
“Description: A Legacy Cultivation Technique from Hundred Forging Mountain. It forges the human flesh and blood, Meridians, and bones with Heaven And Earth Treasure, making the Physical Body like a Magic Treasure, indestructible, and possessing the Divine Ability power of different Magic Treasures!”
“Hiss!”
“It’s actually an Orthodox Grade Cultivation Technique!”
Lu Changsheng was surprised when he saw the Cultivation Technique’s grade.
Cultivation Techniques were categorized into: Elementary, Advanced, Exquisite Grade, Heretical Grade, and Orthodox Grade.
Orthodox Grade was the highest-grade Cultivation Technique he currently knew of.
He was already incredibly surprised when the Immortal Appearance Art he had obtained earlier was a Heretical Grade Cultivation Technique.
He had thought the System could only draw Heretical Grade Cultivation Techniques.
But unexpectedly, this time it directly gave him an Orthodox Grade Cultivation Technique.
“I can only say, the System is awesome!”
Subsequently, upon seeing the description of the Hundred Refinements Treasure Body Technique, Lu Changsheng couldn’t help but take a deep breath.
Forging the human flesh and blood, Meridians, and bones with Heaven And Earth Treasure, making the Physical Body like a Magic Treasure, and possessing the Divine Ability power of Magic Treasures.
Just by looking at this description, one could tell how extraordinary this Cultivation Technique was and how terrifying it would be upon Major Achievement.
“However, if I refine my Physical Body to be like a Magic Treasure, will it make me infertile or something?”
A question suddenly popped into Lu Changsheng’s mind.
He stayed indoors all day in Qingzhu Mountain, so he liked to read books when he had nothing to do.
He read a wide variety of books and remembered seeing in an ancient text that many Cultivation Techniques that seemed more powerful had side effects.
For example, after Cultivation, a male body might take on a female appearance, become infertile, or one’s Heart-Nature might be affected by the Cultivation Technique.
If there were truly such side effects, he would never Cultivate it.
Without overthinking, Lu Changsheng’s mind stirred slightly, and he used the Hundred Refinements Treasure Body Technique.
Immediately.
The content of the Hundred Refinements Treasure Body Technique, its Cultivation method, detailed secrets, and other information poured into Lu Changsheng’s mind like a sudden enlightenment.
After a long while, Lu Changsheng opened his eyes and let out a long sigh.
This Cultivation Technique was profoundly abstruse.
If the System hadn’t directly passed on the Legacy of the Cultivation Technique to his mind, allowing him to comprehend it directly,
Even with such an Orthodox Grade Cultivation Technique placed before him, he would have difficulty comprehending its basics without guidance.
Even if he comprehended it, it would be very easy to encounter problems during Cultivation without guidance.
As for the side effects he had thought of earlier, after thoroughly comprehending this Hundred Refinements Treasure Body Technique, he realized he had been overthinking.
Orthodox Grade Cultivation Techniques were from the Xuanmen Orthodox Dao, grand and magnificent.
Cultivation Techniques of this level, apart from having high thresholds and being difficult to Cultivate, generally had no side effects.
“However, the more powerful the Cultivation Technique, the harder it is to Cultivate.”
Lu Changsheng also sighed with emotion.
The Cultivation method of this Hundred Refinements Treasure Body Technique sounded very simple.
It involved using Heaven And Earth Treasure to refine the human flesh, Meridians, and bones as if they were Magical Artifacts.
This process could involve refining the entire body into a supreme Magic Treasure at once, or slowly Cultivating it in parts.
But its ultimate Major Achievement was to refine the entire body into an indestructible physique comparable to a heavenly spiritual treasure.
With every gesture, it could unleash world-shaking Divine Ability.
However, Cultivating this Cultivation Technique was extremely difficult and consumed a vast amount of resources.
From the very beginning of Cultivation, one had to use Heaven And Earth Treasure to nourish the body.
Once the body adapted, one would need to use higher-level Heaven And Earth Treasure to temper and forge the Physical Body.
This would allow the Physical Body to advance step by step, becoming comparable to a Magical Artifact, Spiritual Artifact, Magic Treasure, Spirit Treasure, and heavenly spiritual treasure!
During this process, not only did it consume resources, but it was also extremely dangerous, and one could not be greedy or reckless in the slightest.
Once overly aggressive, a slight error could lead to the Physical Body being unable to withstand the refining effects, causing the body to collapse and perish.
After all, refining the body into various Magic Treasures was in itself an inconceivable and Heaven-Defying act, and the process was naturally extremely perilous.
“However, I have thoroughly comprehended this Hundred Refinements Treasure Body Technique. As long as I am not impatient and Cultivate slowly, there will definitely be no problems.”
“Moreover, although this Hundred Refinements Treasure Body Technique is difficult to Cultivate, it contains a secret method that allows for a shortcut, a quicker path.”
“That is to directly condense a Magic Treasure into the body, using the Magic Treasure to nourish and warm oneself.”
“If it were an ordinary Cultivator, it would naturally be impossible to use a Magic Treasure for Body Refining, as even an ordinary Core Formation True Person would at most have one or two Magic Treasures.”
“But I have the System. In the System’s lottery, even Orthodox Grade Cultivation Techniques can be drawn. In the Magic Treasure rewards, I should also be able to draw Magic Treasures, or even Spirit Treasures!”
“If I can draw a Magic Treasure in the future, using it to Cultivate this Hundred Refinements Treasure Body Technique would allow me to quickly get started and make rapid progress in Body Refining.”
Lu Changsheng mused inwardly, his eyes gleaming.
Although this Cultivation Technique was very difficult and had an extremely high threshold,
In Lu Changsheng’s view, it was still very good and very suitable for him.
Immediately, Lu Changsheng walked out of the study and into the Cultivation room.
He took out a black iron lump the size of a pot lid and attempted to Cultivate the Hundred Refinements Treasure Body Technique.
This iron lump was the shield Magical Artifact he had previously obtained from the three rogue Cultivators at Niu Tou Mountain.
This shield Magical Artifact was damaged and deformed under the attack of the golden light brick Talisman Treasure, with all its Restrictions destroyed. It could only be sold as scrap Material.
However, this scrap Material could be used to forge Magical Artifacts, so it could be considered a ‘Heaven And Earth Treasure’.
Lu Changsheng sat cross-legged, holding the shield, and began to operate the techniques of the Hundred Refinements Treasure Body Technique.
Under the circulation of spiritual power, his palm gradually turned crimson, absorbing the Material essence of the shield Magical Artifact to nourish his Physical Body.
This shield was refined from Yin-cold profound iron. As Lu Changsheng absorbed its Material essence, he felt a faint chill entering his body.
After Cultivating for an hour, Lu Changsheng stopped Cultivating and let out a long breath.
“Although I am at Lianqi Third Layer, I have no foundation in Body Refining. Cultivating for an hour is about right; if the time is longer, it’s easy to harm my body.”
“Moreover, the Material of this shield belongs to the Metal of the Five Elements and is somewhat cold. If I continuously use this single Material to Cultivate the Hundred Refinements Treasure Body Technique, it’s easy to develop hidden injuries. It’s best to purchase Five Elements spiritual Materials to balance the Yin and Yang of the Five Elements.”
Lu Changsheng stood up and stretched his Meridia.
During the Cultivation of Body Refining Cultivation Techniques, it was very easy to cause wear and tear to the Physical Body, leading to subtle hidden injuries that were difficult to detect.
Lu Changsheng, who had thoroughly comprehended the Hundred Refinements Treasure Body Technique and the Dao of Body Refining, naturally knew how to Cultivate this Cultivation Technique to maximize its effectiveness without harming his body.
