Chapter 10: Body Tempering Technique, Transformation! (Thanks to the leader of Be a Secular Man 0723!)
Spiritual Field No. 77 began to get busy again.
Ning Daoran opened up an area on the underground floor for growing spiritual herbs, and planted all the low-level spiritual herbs bought from the market, such as Yanling grass, Huaxue ginseng, etc.
Although these herbs are the most inconspicuous of the spiritual medicines known in the world of immortal cultivation, and even if they grow on the roadside, no one would pick them, but...
Under the influence of the Holy Spirit of plants and trees, low-level spiritual medicines will quickly grow into high-year spiritual medicines, and their value will be completely different.
For example, Yan Ling grass, which is several years or even decades old, is not rare and has little use, but once the age of Yan Ling grass reaches more than 500 years, its value will rise sharply! 500-year-old Yan Ling grass can be used as medicine to refine the legendary Gu Yan Dan, which is an elixir that can make cultivators stay young forever. It is hard to find among female cultivators.
In addition, the age of Yan Lingcao reaches 500 years, and it can also be used as one of the main ingredients of the second-level elixir Tianluo Dan. Tianluo Dan can improve the cultivation of cultivators in the foundation-building period, so it is conceivable how rare and precious it is.
The other spiritual medicines are similar. The fifty-year-old Lingxi grass can be used to refine the Yunling Pill, and the one hundred-year-old Huaxue ginseng can be used to refine the Zhuangxue Pill. Both are precious medicines for Qi Refining cultivators to improve their cultivation.
The growth rate of the Herbal Holy Spirit is fifty times faster, so it only takes a few years to ripen these spiritual medicines!
"call……"
Underground, Ning Daoran, holding the spiritual hoe, took a deep breath. He knew that he had a great opportunity in his hands. As long as he could keep steady, he could make a fortune by planting spiritual plants. Therefore, he had to be more careful.
In order to avoid the spiritual search of high-level monks, he built the spiritual medicine garden on the underground floor and adopted a "funnel-shaped" lighting design. From the surface, only ant nest-like protrusions of soil could be seen. No one would have thought that so many spiritual medicines were planted underground.
After a few days, a large number of spiritual medicines began to take root and sprout, and with the help of the first-grade superior spiritual veins of Qiongbi Peak, they thrived and grew lush and green.
Ning Daoran saw this and felt very relieved.
…
But he felt that the safety index of his and Big Dumb Deer's cultivation was still not high enough, and they needed to strengthen security around the courtyard.
Therefore, Ning Daoran made full use of his talent in controlling all beasts and "recruited" twenty double-pupil spiders in the surrounding area. He ordered these spiders to weave webs and catch insects quietly around Spirit Field No. 77. If there was any movement, they would immediately sense the master.
In addition, he also tamed twenty tits. Ning Daoran gave these tits the order to patrol the entire Qiongbi Peak and even half of the Chaos Sect. Similarly, if there was any disturbance, they would immediately sense it.
As if this was not enough, Ning Daoran tamed a few more ant kings and ordered them to monitor the situation on Qiongbi Peak and even most of the underground of Chaos Sect.
These ants build nests everywhere and know the underground very well.
After doing all this, Ning Daoran, who was in a room twenty feet deep underground in the courtyard, breathed a sigh of relief. This time he finally felt a sense of security.
…
One morning.
Ning Daoran carried the spiritual hoe and took the big stupid deer out to weed the spiritual field as usual.
On the ridge of the field, Old Lu was smoking his pipe. Although the field was overgrown with grass and sparsely planted with rice, he didn't care at all.
At this time, Xin Yan came over with a serious look on his face.
"Friend Xin, what's the matter?"
Ning Daoran was feeding the big stupid deer with the weeds he had pulled out.
"It's true, but it's not about me, but about your Spiritual Field No. 77. You still remember Old Man Sun who was taking care of this spiritual field before. Something happened to him."
"Senior Brother Sun..."
Ning Daoran was slightly startled: "Didn't he retire and go home to be a rich man?"
"Yes, but he did not come home."
Xin Yan said, "I just received news that someone found the remains of Old Sun in a valley in the southwest of the Huanglong Mountains. He has been dead for a long time. It is said that... he was killed by a Foundation Establishment cultivator."
"Foundation-building stage cultivator..."
Ning Daoran thought of the friendly old man, Old Sun, and couldn't help but feel nervous: "What's your name?"
"Bull Demon Master."
Xin Yan frowned and said, "This person is a casual cultivator in Shanyang County who comes and goes without a trace. He has attacked Qi Refining cultivators from various major sects many times. However, since he has no fixed place to stay, the major sects can't do anything to him."
Elder Lu sighed, "I have been with Brother Sun for many years. It is a pity that a good man like Brother Sun did not have a good end... These damned Tribulation Cultivators are truly the locusts of the Immortal Cultivation World!"
Ning Daoran remained silent, but secretly wrote down the name of Niu Mo Zhenren in his little notebook.
When I become strong enough in the future and can easily wipe him out, it will just be a piece of cake.
…
Spring goes and winter comes, and another year has passed in the blink of an eye.
This year, Ning Daoran was twenty-two years old, and had accumulated more than ten thousand years of diligent practice.
Early in the morning, he woke up in a secret room twenty feet underground. He took a deep breath. The time he had accumulated for intensive practice was enough, and he was ready to make a breakthrough to the next stage of the Body Tempering Technique!
Whether there is a realm above perfection depends on today's results.
He sat cross-legged, slowly closed his eyes, and poured all his time into practicing his skills.
[In the first year, you looked at the already perfected Body Tempering Technique and fell into confusion. It was as if you were looking at a flawless work of art, and any polishing you did seemed so redundant.]
[In the 130th year, the bottleneck of the Body Tempering Technique has not been loosened at all, and your efforts seem to be in vain]
[In the 2600th year, your country has changed dynasties dozens of times, but your Body Tempering Technique remains the same as before, without any change]
[You begin to feel depressed and start to blame your own cultivation aptitude. With your aptitude, you shouldn’t exist in the world of cultivation.]
[In the sixth thousand four hundred and fifty-third year, you sat in the courtyard, watching the ginkgo leaves falling to the ground. Suddenly, a crack appeared in your mind, but it was fleeting and still nowhere to be found.]
[In the 10,300th year, you, who had become extremely old, suddenly stood up from the courtyard. You finally caught a glimpse of spiritual light. Suddenly, your body began to recover and returned to your youthful appearance.]
【Thirty-six Transformations of Qi and Blood】
[Body Tempering Technique. Yellow Rank Lower Grade (Transformation Realm)]
[Qi Refining Stage (Sixth Level)]
[Time remaining for intensive practice: 2,214 years]
…
"call……"
Ning Daoran suddenly woke up from his training and immediately felt that his body was undergoing drastic changes. He could hear the bones popping in his arms and all over his body, his blood was boiling under his skin, and his entire body was ablaze.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
At this moment, vast spiritual power continuously burst out from deep within the body and enveloped the entire body, forming dense protective spiritual energy all over the body.
This time it was truly all-round protection. Ning Daoran lowered his head and took a look. Even the weakest position was covered with dense spiritual energy, giving it an indestructible aura!
Is this the next level after the perfection of the Body Tempering Technique?
Ning Daoran was ecstatic. The aura exuded by the Body Tempering Technique at this time was extremely extraordinary. It did not seem like a lower-grade Yellow Rank technique at all. No one would question that it was a higher-grade Profound Rank technique.
Perhaps, when a martial art is cultivated to the highest level, it will no longer be restricted by its original level. This is easy to understand.
Above perfection is the realm of transformation, which can now be confirmed.
However, the time spent on intensive cultivation was indeed a little too much, and Ning Daoran was still a little sad. It took him more than 10,000 years to cultivate the Body Tempering Art from perfection to the highest level. What kind of divine enlightenment was this?
His old face turned red, and he actually felt a little ashamed.
As the Body Tempering Technique reached perfection, his own cultivation foundation also broke through, from the fifth level of Qi Refining to the sixth level of Qi Refining. Moreover, the foundation of the sixth level of Qi Refining was quite solid, and it was already the peak of the sixth level.
In other words, both the sixth level of Qi Refining Great Perfection or the late half-step of Qi Refining are acceptable.
Ning Daoran took a deep breath. His practice of the Body Tempering Technique came to a temporary halt. The next level would probably take even longer. He would never attempt it lightly without accumulating 40,000 to 50,000 years of intensive practice.
He calmed his mind and used the Breath-Containing Technique to stop his outward cultivation at the third level of Qi Refining.
It is logical that an outer sect spiritual farmer disciple with ninth-grade mixed spiritual roots would not have made any breakthrough within a year.
…
"Junior Brother Ning!"
At this time, a long-lost voice came from outside: Inner Sect Senior Brother Lin Sheng!
"Old Deer, take the guests!"
Ning Daoran immediately sent a message to the big stupid deer using the spirit beast contract.
Immediately, he climbed the ladder hanging in the basement as nimbly as a monkey, and in a blink of an eye he reached the surface and walked out of the hut in the courtyard.
Lin Sheng walked in, carrying wine and roast chicken, looking hot.
“Yo!”
As usual, his eyes roamed around, and finally landed on Ning Daoran: "I knew that Junior Brother Ning, you would not be able to break through the bottleneck of the early stage of Qi Refining within a year. Of course, this is not your fault. You have ninth-grade mixed spiritual roots, which cannot compare with a sixth-grade double spiritual root genius like me."
Ning Daoran grinned: "Brother Lin, please don't make fun of me about this kind of thing. I have my own self-esteem!"
"Okay, okay, let's not talk about this."
Lin Sheng sat down in the chair, put down the wine and meat, tapped the storage bag and took out a bottle of pills, and said: "This is a soul-enriching pill. Although it is still a little different from the original, it will definitely help you break through."
Ning Daoran's heart moved. He knew about the Yunling Pill. It was of great benefit to the early and middle stages of the Qi Refining Period. This kind of pill was very popular in all major sects and was very expensive.
"Brother, what is this?"
"Haha, I can't hide it from your eyes."
Lin Sheng sat at the small table with a big horse and a golden knife, patted his chest and said: "Not long ago, I completed an extremely dangerous mission and killed three disciples of the Demonic Path. I was rewarded by the inner sect, and this Soul-Yunning Pill was one of the prizes!
In addition, I have good news for you. I have made a major breakthrough in my True Yang Furnace Art and will soon be successful!"
"Congratulations, brother!"
Ning Daoran was not polite either. After accepting the Soul-Enriching Pill, he thanked him again: "Thank you, Senior Brother. I will accept it!"
"You're welcome. Take it."
Lin Sheng tilted his head and looked at the big stupid deer that was looking at him with wide eyes. He also imitated Ning Daoran, raised his right fist with his thumb pointed behind him, "Junior Brother Lu, go cook two dishes for us!"
