Chapter 32: The First Level of Body Refining
Tempering the body is the primary task of becoming a physical cultivator. It is divided into four stages: refining the skin, refining the flesh, refining the tendons, and refining the bones.
Refining the skin greatly improves the toughness and elasticity of the skin, and can resist attacks from ordinary weapons.
Refining the flesh greatly improves the strength of the muscles, and also upgrades the speed, physical fitness, explosive power, and defense.
Refining the tendons greatly improves the toughness of the tendons and veins throughout the body, and can accommodate more spiritual energy, which greatly enhances the casting of spells.
Refining the bones greatly improves the density and strength of the bones, breaking through the limitations of one's own strength.
Its ultimate effect is said to be miraculous - once the bone refining stage is completed, the body can be as powerful as a top-grade spiritual magic weapon, and fighting against higher levels is not a problem. All physical cultivators who can survive these four stages are famous legends in history.
To be honest, it is not an exaggeration to say that they are "Saiyan transformations".
However, how can you get powerful strength without paying a price? In the eyes of many people, the price that physical cultivators have to bear is really too high.
Breaking before building.
One thought is heaven, one thought is hell.
...
The night is like a dark blue curtain, and the bright moonlight seems to have coated the diffuse mist with a layer of glimmer.
Looking at the blue flame ice pool in a sober state, Yun Chang couldn't stop the palpitations of the surging heat that came to her face.
Rong Qiheng lowered his eyes, and reminded her calmly: "If you are determined to refine your body, you must be mentally prepared to face this blue flame ice pool alone."
The never-extinguished blue flame has a core temperature of up to 2500 degrees Celsius, which is twice as high as magma. If it is placed in an ordinary pool, the water will turn into steam in an instant. If a mortal touches it accidentally, the body will be burned to ashes before feeling the pain.
Blue flame is usually used as a top-level material for refining tools.
Who would have thought that it would fall into the hands of Rong Qiheng, a cultivation maniac, who used it as a tool for body refining in addition to forging swords.
The Shenshan Ice Spring contains the supreme power of ice and snow. It is a sacred object that restrains demons and evil spirits. It is mutually reinforcing and restraining with the fire-attributed blue flame, but it is also the only vessel that can carry it. The combination of the two cancels out each other's power, stabilizing the temperature of the Blue Flame Ice Pool at around 800-1000 degrees Celsius.
The power seems to have dropped significantly...
but isn't it still an incinerator? ! !
If you're not careful, your bones will be burned to ashes!
Yun Shang listened to Rong Qiheng's words and stared at the pool of water with a complicated expression. The villain in her heart scratched the wall desperately, as if to warn herself: If you don't commit suicide, you won't die.
Her brain became heavier and heavier in the natural high-temperature sauna environment of nearly 50 degrees.
She squinted her eyes, and the temptation of the little devil echoed in her ears
'Isn't it nice to lie down and just cultivate to ninth level of Qi training.'
'Although the future cultivation is not like Master and Great Master she has many opportunity after all'
'And she already earned it to live again and continue to live for thousands years to come.'
Ah, bah, bah!
She already decided herself not to leave a room for regret in future.
The opportunity to become the best is in front of her, how can she be timid and back off now!
She will definitely regret it in the future!
Yun Shang finally regained her senses, manually drove away the little devil, and found that Rong Qiheng was looking at her. She immediately adjusted his facial expression and said seriously and generously: "I'm ready!"
No - actually not!
Her heart was desolate.
No matter how many times she felt the pain that was worse than a woman giving birth and a man having his balls kicked multiplied by 1000, her lower abdomen would start to ache as soon as she thought of it. But what was even more despairing was that this was just an appetizer. In the not too distant future, she would have to soak herself in 1000-degree magma.
Damn, cultivating immortals is really not a human thing...
But what can she do?
The desire for life forced her to face the fear of death.
Is there anything more contradictory in the world than this?
The girl gritted her teeth and ruthlessly Walking straight to the pool, Rong Qiheng looked at her sweaty, miserable and embarrassed face, quietly stretched out an arm from behind her, put his palm on her round shoulders, and with a little force, hugged her into his arms with an extremely caring attitude.
He knew it was not good as a master for him to do this, but he can't help feel soft-hearted toward a girl he raised himself.
The two of them were very different in size. The petite girl was tightly hugged in his arms, and even their shadows merged into one.
Huh?
The girl's ambitions were interrupted, and she subconsciously looked up.
Rong Qiheng seemed to see through her fear, and his spiritual power passed through her delicate skin little by little, forming a faint layer of protection on her body, "Don't be afraid, I'm here. "
His voice was magnetic and gentle, revealing a kind of demeanor engraved in his bones, calm and convincing.
The balloon that was supported by her courage in her heart suddenly deflated. Her eyes turned red, and her warm and soft body decisively rubbed against his arms, like a kitten seeing its owner. it's the first time Yun Shang acting coquettish to her Master.
Rong Qiheng was stunned for a moment, and shook his head helplessly. His disciple always doesn't want to disturb him, but now he felt that she really rely on him.
As usual, the man embraced her into the pool and used his spiritual power to share most of the damage for the girl, but the pure power in the pool still rushed into her body crazily, The intense pain instantly spread to her nerve endings. She felt like a prisoner sentenced to death by slow slicing. The burning skin made the passage of time seem infinitely prolonged in her senses. She held back her tears with a pale face. The tears evaporated while they were still in her eyes. She opened her mouth but found that her throat was so hoarse that she couldn't say a word.
It would be great if I could faint.
Yun Shang thought so.
But her body was always very honest and followed Rong Qiheng's teachings, using her spiritual power to guide the power of the Blue Flame Ice Pond.
On her delicate face, that full of childishness, now she revealed a stubbornness that made people feel distressed.
Originally, considering her ability to bear, he set a 49-day treatment course, but what surprised Rong Qiheng was that the girl who looks weak and frail in daily life showed a determination that made people look up to her in the Blue Flame Ice Pool.
Although Yun Shang's eyes were clearly filled with fear every time, she never said she would give up.
Looking at her face with her eyes closed and her body trembling with pain, Rong Qiheng felt a rare pity in his heart, but the spiritual power he sent did not increase. Instead, when he noticed that she began to adapt, he immediately took back some of the spiritual power, leaving her always hovering at the critical point of not being able to hold on.
Obviously, his pity did not include being soft.
He looked at the girl struggling in pain, and recalled some fragments in his mind. His dark black pupils revealed a kind of pity for the weak -
because of weakness, there will be pain.
So... become stronger.
The temperature suddenly rose a lot again, and the fierce attack attacked every part of her body. Her fair skin was instantly burned into iron red. Yun Shang knew his intention and said nothing.
After under his teaching for four years, although her Master often let her go but when Rong Qiheng had the task for her, he showed that he was rigorous and harsh in the matter of her cultivation. Now as long as she had a breath, he would force her to continue to break through her limits.
Every second in the Blue Flame Ice Pool was so hard that Yun Shang completely lost the concept of time.
She only knew that the skin on her body could no longer bear it, and her arms were faintly charred, but she didn't dare to relax until Rong Qiheng called for a stop.
She never thought that the other party also wanted to see how long she could hold on, and as long as she didn't give up, he would continue to wait and see.
Yun Shang concentrated her mind and recited the formula frantically, but the increasingly fierce pain even affected her consciousness. The stabbing pain deep in her brain made her unable to hold on for a while, allowing the attack of the blue flame to invade her internal organs.
"Ahem--" Her eyes suddenly split open and she coughed out a large mouthful of blood. The blood melted in the pool and disappeared in an instant.
Rong Qiheng frowned slightly, and his jade-like face became a little cold. He was about to lift the person out of the water, but his hand suddenly stopped in mid-air.
What is this?
Qingmu Daojun's face rarely showed hesitation. After a moment, he put his hand down calmly.
Yun Shang was in excruciating pain. She relied on her tenacious will to continue using the formula to disperse her spiritual power to all parts of her body. Despite this, her skin was still almost burned off. She looked like a demon crawling out of hell. Fortunately, Rong Qiheng was already accustomed to such bloody scenes, so he could continue to watch calmly.
In a trance, Yun Shang's mother's gentle face appeared in her mind.
Her eyebrows were curved, as beautiful as in her memory, and the love in her eyes always made Yun Shang feel that she was the most precious baby in the world.
Her mother childishly raised her fist to her chest and cheered her up with a smile: Baby! Come on!
In an instant, her memory was pulled back to her childhood. At that time, Yun Shang refused to go to kindergarten every day. After her mother coaxed and deceived her to go to school, she would always squat at the school gate like this and cheer her up with a full voice.
Mom...
Yun Shang looked at her happy smile and wanted to smile back, but the corners of her mouth seemed to be filled with lead and could not be raised.
Yes.
She remembered.
"No one will protect you, and you can't protect anyone."
"The weak are not qualified to be happy."
She has been saying this to herself since her mother died.
Because...
"Mom will be gone in the future, you have to be happy and live your own life !"
She still has to...
live her own life.
"Ah!!"
