Chapter 119 Profound Origin Body Refining Technique, Myriad Spirits Market [Please Subscribe!]

Qinghe Lake, a two-story bamboo building.

The door was closed for three days, and two trays of calming incense burned out.

Chen Qing sat cross-legged on the futon, his eyes slightly closed. The magical power in his body flowed slowly along the Qi circulation route of the first level of the Condensing Yuan Technique. With each cycle, a trace of impurities was filtered out, and the magical power became more solidified.

Suddenly, he opened his eyes.

A glint of light flashed in his eyes, then vanished as if nothing had happened.

Chen Qing raised his right hand, palm open, and a wisp of light blue magic power condensed at his fingertips, turning into a ball of light the size of a soybean; although the ball of light was small, it was much more solid than it had been three days ago, with spiritual light flowing across its surface, and it had a faint sense of substance.

"I've finally gotten to the first level."

Chen Qing nodded slightly, dissipated the magic power at his fingertips, and secretly made plans in his mind.

The Condensing Yuan Technique has three levels. The first level, "Gathering Flow," is the most difficult to master. It requires gathering and converging the scattered magical power within the body. If this step is done incorrectly, it can lead to chaotic magical power or even damage to the meridians.

He had been extremely cautious for the past three days, walking on thin ice, and finally succeeded in navigating this path.

After that comes a long and arduous process, gradually refining and tempering the skill until the third level, "Condensation of Essence," is achieved.

Chen Qing stood up and stretched his limbs, gazing at the layers of lotus leaves on the lake, silently considering matters related to foundation building.

"There are three stages in Foundation Establishment: physical body, magical power, and divine soul."

"As for my soul, I've cultivated the Soul Nourishing Technique for five years, making my soul significantly stronger than other cultivators of the same level, so it's not a big problem. Now that I have the Yuan Condensation Technique, I'm also confident about my mana."

"At my current cultivation speed, I should be able to reach the tenth level of Qi Refining in about ten years. By then, I'll definitely be able to cultivate the 'Condensing Essence Technique' to the third level, 'Condensing Essence,' and my mana purity should be sufficient to support Foundation Establishment."

"So, only the last hurdle remains."

Chen Qing's gaze fell on her arm, and she frowned slightly.

The physical body barrier.

A cultivator's body is a container for magical power. If the container is not sturdy enough, even the purest magical power will be difficult to withstand the erosion of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth during the foundation-building process.

We need to plan ahead.

Chen Qing sat down in front of the futon, took out the "Blood Fiend Technique" that he had seized from the cultivator of Blood Spirit Abyss from his storage bag, and turned to the second half.

He had studied this book carefully before. The demonic cultivation techniques could not be practiced, but the body-refining methods in it did have some merit.

The body-refining methods recorded in the Blood Fiend Technique are divided into two sets.

The main story is "Blood Fiend True Body," which requires the entry of fiendish energy into the body and repeated tempering of the physical body with the essence of living beings. It is extremely powerful, but the price is bloody, and there is also a fiendish energy around the body that is difficult to hide.

The appendix also includes a secondary method—the "Mysterious Origin Body Refining Technique".

This Profound Origin Body Refining Technique shares the same origin as the Blood Fiend True Body, but it removes the step of absorbing the essence and blood of living beings, replacing it with the power of elixirs and the power of moonlight.

Although the effect is not quite as good, it is moderate and harmless, which is just right for him.

"Bronze skin, iron bones, and golden body—three realms."

The first layer, "Copper Skin," requires one hundred mid-grade Tier 1 Jade Marrow Pills; the second layer, "Iron Bones," requires one hundred high-grade Tier 1 Bone Shaping Pills; and the third layer, "Golden Body," requires one hundred high-grade Tier 1 Body Forging Pills.

"Fortunately, we don't lack spirit stones right now, but these three kinds of pills are all used by body cultivators and are relatively rare."

"Wanling Market is less than two hundred li from here, so it's convenient to go back and forth. I'll go there today and refine two batches of Jade Marrow Pills first."

.

Chen Qing closed the "Blood Fiend Technique" book, which he had read many times, and took out several jade boxes from his storage bag.

Upon opening the box, nine jade marrow mushrooms lay neatly inside, their entire bodies as white as jade, with a shimmering light flowing across their caps, exhibiting exceptional quality.

These nine jade marrow mushrooms were the ones he collected in the Lin Yuan Secret Realm.

The Blood Spirit Abyss cultivator happened to have one of the corresponding pill formulas for refining the three types of pills in his storage bag. He had also collected the other auxiliary spiritual herbs from the Dark Moon Valley black market.

Chen Qing stood up and went down from the bamboo building.

By the lake, five-year-old Xu Xian sat cross-legged on a blue stone, cultivating the "Canglan Technique" with his eyes closed.

Chen Qing watched for a while and nodded slightly.

Although Xu Xian only possessed four spiritual roots and had mediocre talent, he was good at working hard. He meditated every morning without fail, which made him much better than when he first entered the sect.

"Silver Moon".

Chen Qing called out softly.

Silver Moon, perched on the bamboo steps, twitched its ears, raised its head, and looked at Chen Qing with its silver eyes, letting out a soft "woof".

"I need to go to Wanling Market, it will take about two or three hours round trip. Please keep an eye on Xu Xian and make sure he doesn't wander off."

Yinyue tilted her head, a hint of reluctance in her eyes, but quickly nodded.

She knew her cultivation was too weak, currently only at the lower first rank, so she wouldn't be of much help even if she went.

Chen Qing squatted down, rubbed Silver Moon's fluffy head, and said with a smile, "No rush. You can cultivate for another year or so, and then I will use the essence to help you break through to the middle level of the first rank."

, 7

Silver Moon's eyes lit up, its tail wagged gently, and it sent a soft, sweet message: "Really?"

"When have I ever lied to you?"

Chen Qing rubbed her ears again, stood up, put Qingtian and Danyu into the spirit beast bag, took out the Qingfeng Boat and threw it into the air, which turned into a streak of green light and headed east.

Wanlingfang Market.

It is located in a deep mountain area at the border of Qingzhou and Leizhou.

Built by the Zhou family of Leizhou, the family has a late-stage Foundation Establishment ancestor who serves in the Lingyun Sect and is quite powerful. In addition to that ancestor, the Zhou family also has two other Foundation Establishment cultivators who usually stay here to maintain order in the market.

Therefore, the rules in the market were quite strict, prohibiting fighting and forced buying and selling. Violators would be expelled at best and killed on the spot at worst.

Chen Qing flew in the Green Wind Boat for less than an hour before he could see the rolling mountain range in the distance.

The mountains here are steep and the ancient trees reach for the sky. They are shrouded in clouds and mist all year round. From the outside, ordinary people can only see the white mist and the layers of tree canopies.

Chen Qing pressed the Qingfeng Boat and passed through an invisible barrier. He saw that the valley was filled with neat houses and crisscrossing streets. There was a constant stream of cultivators coming and going, most of whom were Qi Refining stage cultivators. Occasionally, one or two Foundation Establishment stage cultivators could be seen, their auras as deep as an abyss, making people dare not look directly at them.

"As expected of the heartland of the Lingyun Sect."

Chen Qing sighed inwardly.

Along the way, he flew more than two hundred miles from Qinghe Lake to Wanling Market without encountering a single cultivator who had undergone tribulation. This was unimaginable in Linyuan County, where one could be targeted even if one flew more than twenty miles, let alone two hundred miles.

Chen Qing donned a black robe and a bamboo hat, and after wandering through the market, he soon arrived at the door of a shop called "Hundred Herbs Alchemy Pavilion".

The shop's storefront is small, but the calligraphy on the plaque is quite exquisite, with a restrained brilliance, clearly the work of a master.

There was also a wooden sign in front of the door that read "Alchemy, Pill Sales, Spirit Herb Acquisition" and below it, in smaller print: "Second-Order Alchemist in Charge, Quality Guaranteed".

Chen Qing nodded slightly, pushed open the door and went in, and came out shortly afterward.

Nine jade marrow mushrooms and twelve auxiliary medicines were left in the shop. Chen Qing had no shortage of spirit stones, so he did not choose the payment method of "taking 30% of the pills", but paid seventy-five spirit stones for the refining fee.

They agreed to collect the pills three days later.

I also bought Danyu a first-grade high-quality purple bamboo furnace, which cost seven hundred spirit stones. The furnace was three or four hundred spirit stones more expensive than a regular first-grade high-quality magic weapon, but it was worth the price.
