The most secure job in Dajin

Chapter 383, Body Refinement

The retired emperor finally agreed to the emperor's proposal, using the blessed land closest to Lingguang Palace, which the royal family had discovered, as bait. He planned to join forces with the Phoenix Clan of the demon race to forcibly divert the Lingguang Palace Master's attention from the mass graves in the southeastern part of Nanxiang County.

However, to the royal family's surprise, the mass burial site not only attracted the attention of the Lingguang Palace, but also drew the attention of various forces to this area.

Furthermore, news of the Vermilion Bird Army's disappearance also spread among cultivators.

As a result, everyone knew that someone was secretly making a move against the Vermilion Bird Army.

The person who made the move is suspected to be a member of the ghost or demon race.

The demon race is the number one enemy of the human race in the struggle for territory. Knowing that a demon of the Spirit Platform Realm had appeared in Nanxiang County, it immediately attracted the close attention of the Demon Suppression Army and the Xuanyuan Army.

The appearance of the ghost race in the human world is also a major taboo.

This caused people who hadn't paid attention to Nanxiang County to turn their attention to it, leading to an increasingly chaotic situation in Nanxiang County.

After parting ways with Tong Yao, Hua Changxi returned to Lingguang Palace and immediately issued a new mission—to monitor the mass grave and the mortuary a few miles away.

The disappearance of the Vermilion Bird Army unexpectedly implicated the royal family and the demon race, something she hadn't anticipated.

The demon race is lurking in the shadows, eyeing Nanxiang City covetously, while the royal family is suspected of seizing control of the Ghost Fire Well.
All of this made Hua Changxi feel very heavy-hearted. Her anxiety about survival had been slightly relieved after she had completed the sixth chapter of the Nine Revolutions Profound Technique, but she felt the crisis again.

Her inability to advance to the Spirit Platform Realm was causing her some anxiety.

While body tempering can enhance strength, it primarily improves the body's defensive capabilities, with limited offensive power.

Generally speaking, within the same level, physical cultivators are no match for magical cultivators.

The reason she is not afraid of cultivators in the Spirit Platform Realm is that, although she is still in the Nascent Soul Realm, the spiritual power stored in her body is no weaker than that of cultivators in the early stage of the Spirit Platform Realm.

However, after reaching the Spirit Platform Realm, cultivators cultivate their primordial spirit. Without advancing to the Spirit Platform Realm and opening up their sea of ​​consciousness, they cannot cultivate their primordial spirit or enhance their divine sense!
However, attacks on the primordial spirit and divine sense are often fatal to cultivators!
Furthermore, although her physical cultivation level is comparable to that of a Dharma cultivator at the Nascent Soul stage, allowing her to rely on her physical body to overcome any opponent's strength, if she faces multiple Spirit Platform stage cultivators, her spiritual energy may not be sufficient to meet their demands. Moreover, her physical attack methods are too limited, and if the battle drags on, she is likely to be defeated.

How can I break through to the Nascent Soul Realm?

Hua Changxi scratched her head in frustration, then suddenly paused.

She can't break through to the Nascent Soul Realm for now, but she can enhance the attack power of her physical body!

Hua Changxi flipped her wrist, and a cultivation manual appeared in her hand—"The Law of Heaven and Earth".

The laws of heaven and earth are manifested in the physical body, and supernatural powers rank first.

Although she has only completed the sixth chapter of body refinement and cannot fully unleash the power of 'Law of Heaven and Earth', cultivating it will at least enhance the attack strength of her physical body.

However, Hua Changxi was soon disappointed.

The requirements for cultivating 'Law of Heaven and Earth' are too high. Even though she has mastered the sixth chapter of 'Nine Revolutions Profound Technique' to perfection, she is still not qualified.

To cultivate the "Law of Heaven and Earth," one must at least reach the seventh chapter of the "Nine Revolutions Mysterious Technique"—the Meridian Chapter.

According to Hua Changxi's understanding, the meridians throughout the body include the brain's nervous system, which is similar to the sea of ​​consciousness in Dharma cultivation, and can cultivate divine consciousness.

The "Law of Heaven and Earth" supernatural power allows cultivators to use themselves as a conduit to communicate with the laws of heaven and earth, merging their own power with that of nature and the universe, thus demonstrating the majesty of "man is like heaven and earth, and heaven and earth are like man."

If one's physical body is not strong enough, one cannot bear the power of heaven and earth; if one's spiritual consciousness is insufficient, one cannot resonate deeply with the rules of heaven and earth. In this way, one cannot use this supernatural power.

Therefore, only by cultivating the body and developing divine consciousness can one be considered to have met the threshold for cultivating the "Law of Heaven and Earth".

Although she could not immediately cultivate 'Law of Heaven and Earth', Hua Changxi was not discouraged.

Since the seventh chapter of the Nine Revolutions Profound Technique—the Meridian Chapter—can cultivate divine sense, it can make up for her inability to open her spiritual platform, thus preventing her from increasing her divine sense.

"Next, I can only free up my time for alchemy and cultivate the seventh chapter of the Nine Revolutions Profound Technique."

Having determined what to do next, Hua Changxi then checked the Yiniantong.

At Lingguang Hall, the stewards of the Discipline Hall and the Mission Hall sent messages saying they had appeased the Vermilion Bird Army patrolling today; the Mission Hall steward also sent a message saying they had received the charred body of the tiger demon. At Danyuan Peak, only Wan Feng sent a message saying that Lingjing Pavilion, Qihuang Pavilion, and Jiujie Hall had held another meeting regarding the Alchemy Conference. At the meeting, Xia Zhen called her name, hoping she could attend the next meeting.

Hua Changxi glanced at the message Wan Feng sent and then forgot about it. With so many things going on in Nanxiang County, she wished she could split herself into two. She had no time to attend the boring meeting at the Department of Medicine.

Seeing that nothing was wrong at Lingguang Palace and Danyuan Peak, Hua Changxi took out the Seven-Patterned Xuanhuang Fruit and consumed it.

Overnight, the Xuanhuang Fruit was completely absorbed and refined.

After Hua Changxi sensed that the seventh shackle on her physical body had been broken, she sat on the teleportation array and was transported back to the Dan Yuan Secret Realm.

Body refinement requires soaking in a medicinal bath. Fortunately, the Dan Yuan Secret Realm is of a high grade, an eighth-grade secret realm. The spiritual herbs needed to cultivate the seventh chapter of the Nine Revolutions Profound Technique can be found on the seventh level of the secret realm.

Having collected all the necessary medicinal herbs, Hua Changxi summoned the Shennong Cauldron and brewed a pot of seventh-level body-refining medicinal bath.

After soaking in the medicinal bath, the next step is to refine the physical body.

As more and more of the shackles on his physical body were broken, Hua Changxi's understanding of the physical body deepened, and his understanding of how body cultivators could also achieve the Great Dao through physical cultivation became more thorough.

In addition, she began practicing the seventh chapter of the Nine Revolutions Profound Technique—the Meridian Chapter—which gave her a more profound understanding of body refinement.

Even if a cultivator has no spiritual root, the Heavenly Dao still leaves a glimmer of hope for ordinary people.

The physical body is covered with meridians, which are the "innate tracks" of the "Great Dao of Heaven and Earth" imprinted on the human body, and the "natural interface" for cultivators to resonate with heaven and earth.

From the perspective of physical cultivation, the human body has unlimited potential, and the meridians within the body can be refined to resemble spiritual roots, channels that can store the laws of heaven and earth.

The Dao endows the human body with eighty-one hidden nodes, corresponding to the eight extraordinary meridians, the twelve regular meridians, and other branch meridian networks.

The meridian network of ordinary people is always in a state of waiting to be activated. The purpose of cultivating the seventh chapter of the Nine Revolutions Profound Technique is to activate all the meridian nodes in the body, so that the meridian network, which carries the power and laws of heaven and earth, can form a self-circulating system.

Having clarified the theory of the seventh chapter of Body Refinement, Hua Changxi teleported to the Nine Heavens Fire Spring.

Nowadays, Vermilion Bird soldiers have been coming to the Fire Spring to cultivate. As soon as she arrived, without even meeting the Vermilion Bird soldiers, she plunged into the Fire Spring and went upstream again.

The Vermilion Bird Army cultivators were all speechless when they saw a red figure withstand the immense force of the fiery spring and disappear at the top of the spring in a short while.

"That's... the Palace Master?"

"The Palace Master is amazing! I can only go upstream for about ten meters at most. I don't know how she does it?"

"I wish I could hear the Temple Master preach."

Hua Changxi arrived at the Fire Spring Palace, only to find that the body-refining effects of the Nine Heavens Fire Spring were already somewhat insignificant to her.

Hua Changxi sighed. She knew she would have to find a new place to refine her body again.

But what kind of training ground should be used to activate the body's meridians?
Hua Changxi put the problem aside for the time being and collected a lot of Martian fluff that looked a bit like moss from the suspended island.

Next, she took out the 'suggestion box and suggestion stones' made by the Weapon Saint Palace.

Finally, using spiritual power, the Martian velvet was imprinted onto the suggestion box and suggestion stones, instantly transforming them.

After replacing all the suggestion boxes and suggestion stones, Hua Changxi immediately set up a suggestion box at the entrance and exit of Jiutian Huoquan.

After leaving the Nine Heavens Fire Spring, she went to the Karmic Fire Platform and left a suggestion box at the entrance and exit.

Next, they went to Li Huo Cliff, set up a suggestion box, and gave everyone a suggestion stone.

Finally, Hua Changxi returned to Lingguang Hall and set up suggestion boxes at the four corners of the mountain gate square. He also placed 100,000 suggestion stones in the logistics department and instructed the logistics department to give one to each member of the Vermilion Bird Army.

After doing all that, she went on to inspect Nanxiang County again.
