Mortals: Tiannan's First Body Cultivator

"Of course. I have consumed three hundred Dust-Extinguishing Pills and have spent nearly four hundred years studying them. If I still cannot comprehend the method of refining the Dust-Extinguishing Pills, I would be unworthy of being a master of alchemy!
This Dust-Murdering Pill is indeed an important support for Tianyuan City to gather the Tianyuan Guards. The exquisiteness of its refining method is indeed extraordinary!

After my research, I found that the most critical and core ingredient of this Dust-Mieting Pill is called "Liaofan Grass"!
According to those alchemy books, this kind of spiritual herb seems to be only grown in the Baicao Cave in Tianyuan City within the human territory. Other than that, one needs to go to the wilderness to look for it!
Right now, with my understanding of the Dust-Extinguishing Pill, as long as I have enough 'Laofan Grass', I can definitely refine the Dust-Extinguishing Pill!"

When Jiang Chuan heard this, he thought to himself that he had never heard of the spiritual herb "Laofan Grass". He certainly could not covet the spiritual herbs in the Baicao Cave in Tianyuan City, but he might be able to find them in the wilderness.

"So good!
It seems that the day when you leave Honglu Small World is not far away!
I really need to go and see this remote and wild world!"

Afterwards, Jiang Chuan's spiritual consciousness withdrew from the Honglu small world, came out of seclusion and left the Tianyuan secret realm.

In a long mountain range in Tianyuan City, Jiang Chuan was crossing in the air, accompanied by seven green-armored cultivators. These seven people were only at the middle stage of the Nascent Soul Realm, which was not worth mentioning in the entire spiritual world or even in the Tianyuan realm of the human race.

However, the reason why these seven people were able to follow Jiang Chuan was naturally not because of their cultivation in magic, but because these seven people, without exception, were top-notch body cultivators comparable to those in the late stage of Spirit Transformation, that is, the famous Seven Generals of Tianyuan.

However, one of the blue-armored monks pointed to the training ground on the top of the mountain below and said:
"Second Master, that is where the military guards usually train. 1,200 military guards are stationed here!
And among these mountains, there are as many as 72 markets, which are specially opened for body cultivators. In total, most of the body cultivators in the entire Tianyuan City gather here, totaling more than 200,000 people.

Although these people are all low- to mid-level body cultivators, they are an important supplement to the Wuwei. In recent years, the Wuwei has often been sent to the borders of Tianyuan Realm to encircle and suppress strange beasts, and there have been many casualties. They were all supplemented by the body cultivators in these mountains. "

Jiang Chuan nodded, and in his heart he attached great importance to these seven top-level body refiners. Putting aside their spiritual roots, these seven people were able to practice the human race's body refining techniques to the extreme. Their perseverance, luck, and character were absolutely the best among men!
This kind of person would be fine if he doesn't have any chance, but once he gets the chance, he will most likely soar to the sky. Even if he can't compare to the Holy Emperor Tianyuan back then, he will definitely be able to achieve something.

“It is indeed quite rare for these mortals without any cultivation to gather such strength. It is a great opportunity for you to be able to make up for your spiritual roots with the help of the Holy Emperor Palace.

Although the highest martial arts guards of all generations have only cultivated to your level, you should not give up. The road ahead is not cut off yet!"

Upon hearing this, the Wuwei cupped his hands and said:
"Thank you for your concern, Second Young Master!

Those of us who are able to become high-level body cultivators and join the Wuwei will, with the help of the Holy Emperor Palace, use the Holy Emperor's secret methods to replenish our spiritual roots.

But this kind of spiritual root is not a real spiritual root after all, nor is it like a cultivator making up for the missing spiritual root, but creating something out of nothing, so the effect is not good!

Under the influence of this secret method, most of the martial guards have only formed a kind of imitation of spiritual roots. It is already quite difficult for them to barely cultivate to the foundation-building stage and have the effect of extending their lifespan by three decades!
Over the years, the Wuwei have watched those masters in the Holy Emperor Palace who have been immortal for thousands of years and tens of thousands of years. I am not afraid of being laughed at by the Second Young Master. We have long been disheartened!"

Jiang Chuan heard this and did not make a rash statement, but asked with a smile:

"Oh? So, although you are only at the Nascent Soul stage, you are quite familiar with the cultivators at the Spiritualization stage and the Void Refining stage in the Holy Emperor Palace and even in the Tianyuan Realm?"

Upon hearing this, the oldest Wuwei said:
“I’m sorry to have embarrassed you, Second Young Master! Although we are born as body cultivators, we are still in the Holy Emperor Palace, so we are considered a force to some extent.

Therefore, he has more or less had some dealings with the disciples of major immortal sects such as the Holy King Sect, the Three Buddha Sect, and the Five Thunder Gods Sect within the Holy Emperor Palace.

Of course, we are not afraid of being laughed at by the Second Young Master. Most of the time, it is us martial guards who take the initiative to attach ourselves to those immortal cultivators in the Spirit Transformation Stage.

The purpose is to exchange some elixirs for longevity from their sects. If any of their own descendants are lucky enough to have spiritual roots, they can also be asked to send them to the sect to practice.

My family has been a military family for generations, and it's the sixth generation here. Although many of our ancestors have long passed away, those Void Refinement cultivators they made friends with back then are still alive and well.

Back then, the second generation ancestor once made friends with Daoist Shan Yu, a demon cultivator from the Ironback Bear Clan who was in the God Transformation Stage. Together they searched for the blood of exotic beasts on the border between the human and demon clans for cultivation.

Now four thousand years have passed, and the ancestors have passed away. I have met Fellow Daoist Shan Yu again. He is still in the Spirit Transformation Stage, but the ancestors have long turned to dust!
I am now seven hundred years old. Since I became a top-level body cultivator comparable to the late stage of the Spirit Transformation three hundred years ago, my body refining skills have hardly made any progress at all.

Instead, he relied on the spiritual roots synthesized by secret methods and by chance, he cultivated to the Nascent Soul stage. It seems that he will not have the chance to make further progress in this lifetime.

Three hundred years later, it is inevitable that I will be just a handful of dirt again. Who knows, my descendants may still meet fellow Daoist Shanyu."

Jiangchuan saw this and said in a deep voice:
“Things are different now!

Many monks have a premonition that the spiritual world will undergo great changes, and we humans cannot stand still any longer!
When I was practicing, because I had spiritual roots, I was able to practice the dual cultivation of Dharma and body, and both paths progressed simultaneously, which is why I have achieved what I have today.

The soldiers of Wuwei were born as mortals, and they could only cultivate themselves into high-level body cultivators within one or two hundred years before they could make up for their spiritual roots.

This is extremely difficult for most mortals. Unless one's physical training aptitude is truly outstanding to a certain degree, it is impossible to become a high-level physical cultivator in such a short period of time.

After Master handed over these 1,200 martial guards to me, I began to ponder over a solution. During the more than 200 years of seclusion and cultivation, I have thought of some methods, but most of them cannot stand up to scrutiny!
The only solution that can be thought of right now is to use bloodline instead of spiritual roots!
Looking at the entire spiritual world, there are actually very few races that use spiritual roots to practice, and the vast majority of races rely on bloodline practice!
What the body cultivator cultivates is his own blood, energy and flesh. He has the advantage of a strong flesh and rich blood. Since we don't have spiritual roots, we won't cultivate spiritual roots, but cultivate blood instead!
This technique is called "Xuantian Bian", and it is an extremely mysterious technique that can devour the blood of an exotic beast. As long as the blood of the exotic beast is devoured, one can use the method of transforming into an exotic beast and use the blood of the exotic beast to cultivate to a higher level!

In my opinion, this method is the most feasible one. Even if it has some flaws, it is definitely much better than the spiritual roots that you supplement with secret methods. It is very likely to help you cultivate to a higher level!

In addition, this "Immortal Golden Body Art" is similar to the human race's "Vajra Art", both of which are body-refining techniques. However, I have deduced this technique to the middle stage of the Void Refining Stage, which is far more advanced than the "Vajra Art"!

Take these two skills back and teach them to these 1,200 martial guards. After you have mastered the "Xuantian Bian", I will take you to the wilderness to find suitable exotic beasts and devour their blood!" (End of this chapter)
