You promised yourself to be a caged bird, but you became the supreme young master?

"Extend your hand." That's what the middle-aged man with blue eyes said.

Ten adults from the separated families arrived in front of a line of hundreds of teenagers from the separated families.

It wasn't as complicated or cumbersome as Lu Heng had imagined.

The ten adults responsible for guiding Qi and blood simply asked to extend their hands and give a gentle tap.

After making him sit cross-legged, they would let the next member of the branch family step forward, and then they would even skip the step of making him sit cross-legged.

However, Lu Heng noticed that after each photo was taken, the faces of the ten adults from the branch family seemed to turn paler.

As the number of branch family youths guided by their qi and blood increased, the faces of the ten branch family adults visibly turned as pale as paper.

Upon realizing this, Lu Heng felt a chill run down his spine.

"This situation is not mentioned in the Basic Body Refinement Method, but guiding Qi and blood is probably a very harmful thing to the body and has serious consequences."

Unfortunately, the very moment they were performing the [Awakening Ritual] was precisely the time, as recorded in the [Basic Body Refining Method], to begin guiding Qi and blood into the basics.

Why not send more cultivators from the Body Refining Secret Realm to guide their Qi and Blood? It wouldn't be such a big burden if the burden were spread out.

Or simply let a few cultivators from the Qi Refining Secret Realm take charge of this matter.

This is a significant burden for cultivators in the Body Refinement Realm, but it's estimated to be within an acceptable range for cultivators in the Qi Refining Realm.

Lu Heng was only puzzled for a moment before he quickly realized what was going on.

This world is completely different from his previous life!

For the strong, not everything is about maximizing profits.

Or perhaps, it's unnecessary!

The dignity of a strong person can cost countless weak people their blood.

Within the Lu clan, if a member of a branch family cannot break through the Qi Refining Secret Realm, they are not even qualified to be branded with the Caged Bird Mark, a technique that controls life and death.

The branch family members of the Body Refining Secret Realm are probably only slightly better than ordinary branch family members who are like weeds and cannot cultivate.

But it's essentially like a consumable item.

As for how to use consumables, there's no need to elaborate.

Consumables will eventually wear out.

If that's the case, what difference does it make whether consumables are worn out quickly or slowly?

As for the feelings of the consumables themselves, what does that matter?

Lu Heng took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the slight trembling he was experiencing due to discomfort.

It wasn't out of fear, but out of anger.

Although he already knew the answer, the intense clash of his values ​​still made him want to question how the cultivators of this world regarded humans!

But it's obvious that he can't do that!

Before gaining the right to question this world, that is, before gaining the power, there can only be one sentence.

You disagree? Keep it to yourself!

………………

Soon, it was Lu Heng's turn.

"Extend your hand." Without any exchange, the adult from the branch family gently patted Lu Heng's outstretched hand and then walked toward the next branch family youth.

With a slap from the adult who had separated from the family, Lu Heng could clearly feel a surge of intense heat entering his body!

The scorching airflow did not rush around aimlessly, but flowed along a certain trajectory as if it had its own consciousness.

"This is Qi and blood? How amazing!" Lu Heng exclaimed inwardly, having calmed his mind and knowing what to do.

If he remembered correctly, the trajectory of the Qi and blood circulation was the same as the trajectory of the body-refining method in the "Basic Body Refining Method" he had read yesterday.

In his perception, the intense heat accompanying the movement gradually diminished until it quietly dissipated after completing one cycle of the "Basic Body Refining Method".

But this is far from the end; it is merely the beginning!

As the life force of the adult who had separated from the family disappeared, a faint but intensely hot life force silently appeared in Lu Heng's body, flowing along the trajectory that the life force of the adult had previously traveled.

And perhaps because this was his own vital energy, the intense heat did not diminish as it flowed through his body.

On the contrary, after running for a full cycle, the scorching airflow silently increased in size!

"Is this what spiritual practice is?"

After completing one cycle, Lu Heng, who had become extremely tired without realizing it, slowly exhaled a breath of hot air and opened his eyes, which had been closed to sense the flow of qi and blood within his body.

Beside him, quite a few teenagers who had been sitting cross-legged in meditation had also opened their eyes.

However, about a third of the teenagers were still meditating cross-legged, and Lu Heng remembered that many of them had received qi and blood guidance before him.

Among them, the most eye-catching were the three geniuses at the very front of the group of hundreds of teenagers.

None of the three who were the first to receive the guidance of Qi and blood have opened their eyes yet.

At the same time, Lu Heng keenly noticed that among the many teenagers who had already opened their eyes and should have finished their first round of cultivation, there was a teenager in fine clothes who looked unusually dejected.

"The Basic Body Refining Method is still not recorded, but the length of time for the first Qi and blood guidance is probably closely related to talent."

Lu Heng realized this immediately.

"It seems my talent in this life is probably not outstanding..." While feeling somewhat speechless, Lu Heng was not completely discouraged, but instead chose to open the panel.

With a thought...

Lu Heng

[12 years old]

Life Rank: None

Cultivation Level: None

[Talent: Void Bloodline (Unawakened)]

[Technique: Basic Body Refinement Method (Beginner Level 1/100)]

Evolution Points: 0/100 (After reaching the maximum value, it cannot be accumulated, but can unlock one life leap)

(Evolution points can only be accumulated through daily settlements)

"That's really true." Looking at the skill section on the panel, the progress bar for "Basic Body Refining Method" had indeed become 1/100, without requiring any additional conditions.

Lu Heng breathed a sigh of relief, followed by ecstasy.

Leaving aside the ability to leap through life on the panel, the fact that this cultivation technique is similar to the principle of "heaven rewards diligence" is already incredible enough to turn the rotten into the miraculous!

You only need to practice the technique once to gain the corresponding level of proficiency!

With just 100 proficiency points, he can get started with the "Basic Body Refining Method".

This means entering the Body Refinement Realm and possessing cultivation aptitude!

Lu Heng immediately closed his eyes, intending to practice the Basic Body Refining Method once more.

This time, however, he closed his eyes and then quickly reopened them, breathing heavily.

"Is this the limit?" Lu Heng muttered to himself helplessly.

When he opened his eyes, he felt that he was no different from before.

But when he closed his eyes again, intending to cultivate, the stinging pain in his body told him that he had reached his limit.

So he decisively chose to give up the idea of ​​continuing his cultivation. What he should do next probably depends on what the middle-aged man with blue eyes has to say.

Judging from today's performance, the middle-aged man with blue eyes is clearly not just the host of the [Awakening Ritual].

He should be in charge of the hundreds of teenagers from the branch families at the martial arts arena for the next month.

He should be the one to tell you anything that needs to be said.
