Chu Wuji was quite fond of the tempering of the physical body, because this path gave him a lot of "emergency" strength, and within a limited and urgent time, allowed him to come into contact with a deeper and more powerful force.
Not only did he see many monsters and demons, but he was also able to kill a dragon in Jieshi City.
Apart from some drawbacks in his travels, the tempering of his physical body almost made him a "strong man" in a very short period of time.
The Fox Goddess rode on his neck, her jade feet gently stepping on Chu Wuji's thighs, her soft soles sliding as if restless. She explained:
"Didn't the young master say he wanted to achieve a breakthrough in his lifespan? If this cultivation progress is slow, I'll probably run into more bottlenecks later. It would be better to cut my losses early and focus on studying the spiritual energy breathing technique.
You should be able to control the 'Cloud Leaping Technique' before you meet White Snake and Green Snake."
Chu Wuji didn't think too much about it. He just did whatever the Fox Goddess said and followed her instructions without thinking. When he returned to the old house in the evening, he would let her try on clothes!
"Okay, Lady Fox, let's get started!"
"During this practice, you must look inward throughout your body and see which Qi organs and meridians are glowing. Wherever you see a light, use your mind to touch those points of light."
"Vipassana..."

After receiving the knife blank returned by Chu Wuzhi, Pavilion Master Fan immediately returned to the palace and the Imperial Weaponry Workshop, and asked the staff in the workshop to carry out the subsequent process and start quenching directly.
Inside the Imperial Weapon Shop, Pavilion Master Fan's daughter came up and asked doubtfully:
"My dear mother, didn't you ask me to take the embryo to kill demons and get it stained with blood, and then send it back for tempering? That knife embryo is made of precious meteorite crystal, right? Why did you get the blood of chickens and ducklings stained with it?"
The girl's tone was full of regret.
Weapons forged from meteorite crystals are rare weapons that can only be afforded by wealthy monks. They are most suitable for refining into natal weapons.
The blood-stained quenching process before casting affects the quality of the weapon after casting!
Pavilion Master Fan rolled his eyes at his daughter and said:
"You're ignorant. You'll know it later. At most, you can kill some slightly powerful monsters and see what comes out of the tempering!"
The woman in light armor sniffed her mother's mouth, smelling the scent of roast goose, and asked suspiciously:
"Will it not quench a giant goose?"
The two waited for a long time, and the mother and daughter began to drink on the ground. The worker in the workshop ran out hurriedly, his ruthless iron hand grabbing the knife blank that had just been quenched.
The demon blood had already merged into the blade, revealing a lifelike dragon pattern. However, this dragon was a bit fat, like an elongated pig...
If it is refined in the future, this sword pattern can "come alive" and coil around the blade, helping in battle.
If the ritual is done properly, there is a chance that it can become a sword spirit and be promoted to a dragon!
The woman was very surprised. She put her hands on her hips, looked at her mother in confusion, and asked:
"Where did you find a river dragon? This kind of monster usually only appears during heavy rain and floods. It's difficult to deal with and rare! My senior brother has lived for two hundred years and has never seen a dragon-like monster!
There doesn't seem to be any flooding anywhere recently?"
Pavilion Master Fan had not wanted to brag, but when she thought of her daughter's earlier questioning attitude, she said:
"Do you know how powerful I am? I called you back this time not to get the knife blank to kill the monster, but to give you a chance to gain some experience. You still need to practice!"
"Tsk! Tell me or not, if you don't I'll go back to the sect."
Pavilion Master Fan was afraid that her daughter would be angry, so she turned around and left. She put her arm around the girl's shoulders, as if she were hugging a friend, and said:
"I finally made it home. Let me have a meal before I leave. I'll tell you where this knife blank came from while we're eating!"
"Mom, tell me now, otherwise I will just eat a bowl of rice and leave!" the woman threatened seriously.
"He eats so little, won't he die of weight? He's the adopted son that Princess Jing'an just adopted..."
Chapter 129: Aunt's Death Order Completed
Deep in the mountains and valleys,
A half-human, half-snake woman lurks among the withered and flourishing mountains and rivers, surrounded by cold fog.
Her lower body is round, slender and white, like a snake, with skin as white as jade and scales reflecting a lustrous white luster. It is so long that you can't see the end, and it coils around the mountain.
The upper body is of a woman in a white plain skirt. Her face is as beautiful as the moon, mature and graceful. There are faint white scales on her temples, which flash by and hide under her skin.
Bai Sujin narrowed her eyes slightly, lowered her gaze, and took a rest. In this calm state, she slowly reshaped her body. The progress was already halfway through. In a few months, she would be able to return to her "freedom" and no longer belong to the guardian deity of a certain place.
No debt, no involvement.
Suddenly, Bai Sujin opened her beautiful eyes, and her snake pupils looked back at her own snake body. A green snake was crawling up stealthily. After noticing the white snake's gaze, the green snake showed its human form and came in front of her sister.
"Sister, has anyone come to bother you recently?" Green Snake looked concerned.
"No, it's very quiet here. Those sounds gradually fade away from me and no longer bother my ears."
The place where the two sisters live in seclusion and practice is also the place where they started to make a fortune. If you ignore the difference in scale, it can basically be regarded as a holy place for immortals to practice. In addition, there are many barriers and restrictions, so even if someone wants to come here specifically to find them, it would be difficult.
Where can anyone disturb me?
Green Snake was just asking casually, trying to find some topic to liven up the atmosphere. Otherwise, she was afraid that her sister would be too angry if she brought up the matter of the Scorpion Spirit.
"Those sounds? What sounds?" The girl in green dress asked knowingly, just pretending to be stupid.
"It's the local people at the White Snake Temple. I'm afraid they've encountered some trouble there, so they came here to apologize and pray. It's really annoying."
"I've already left my body of merit, but I can still hear those voices?"
"There's still a little bit, but now I've gotten rid of it all, and my ears are clear."
The White Snake Temple was indeed demolished, and even the gold foil statue that was built years ago with money from landlords and gentry was destroyed. However, because of the existence of incense, the people there only needed to set up an incense burner, burn incense and kowtow, and she could still hear the voices of their prayers.
They basically admitted their mistakes, saying that they were confused for a moment and were deceived by the villagers... Bai Sujin found it ironic.
She didn't continue talking about this matter. She pinched the green snake's cheek in confusion and asked:
"What were you rushing out for this time? You came back and you were talking nonsense and making random comments!"
"I went to secretly take a look at the child to confirm whether he was dead or alive."
Bai Sujin was even more puzzled. Why had her sister become so devoted to Chu Wuji? But it was a good thing after all, better than the irreconcilable hostility they had shown earlier.
"What are the results of the confirmation?"
"Luckily, I showed up in time and helped him make up his mind to practice hard in the Shenxiao Sect. I also found an immortal elder to be his master for Wu Ji. Otherwise, he would have been targeted by the people from the Hehuan Sect."
"That's not so bad. The Hehuan Sect is indeed not right. There are some good points in their techniques, but the evil tendencies of this sect are too strong."
After Green Snake finished her announcement, she considered her words in her mind, and then asked tentatively:
"Sister, are you sure that your body of merit is insignificant now?"
"Well, find a place to put it for a while, and it will soon turn into bones and decay into dust. Why do you ask this question again?"
Bai Sujin knew her sister well enough to know that something must have happened. She asked,
"Xiaoqing, what happened? Tell me the truth!"
"That body of merit was stolen. A scorpion spirit came from nowhere. Wu Ji has been worried about this for a long time. I took the opportunity to comfort him this time."
The "body" was stolen, which was really beyond Bai Sujin's expectations.
What's the point of stealing this thing? Apart from the good fortune it brings, the rest is all trouble. The sounds of praying alone are enough to make you upset.
Bai Sujin's expression was subtle. She pressed on, "And then? What did the Scorpion Demon steal it for?"
"According to the information Wuji has gathered, the Scorpion Demon is used to overcome tribulations. They probably think your body, sister, has merits and is more resistant to lightning strikes."
After Qingshe finished speaking, she kept observing her sister's reaction. Fortunately, she didn't see any sign of anxiety!
This means that she really doesn't care about the "corpse". If her sister finds out about the transfer of luck one day, she probably won't be too angry.
"Aren't you afraid that my body will attract the golden divine thunder?" Bai Sujin shook her head. "Wait a few months until I come out of seclusion. If this Scorpion Demon hasn't yet passed the tribulation, then I'll go and deal with her."
The golden divine thunder can only be borne by the leader of an immortal sect. If an elder can survive this kind of thunder tribulation, he is basically a candidate for the leader.
This Scorpion Demon who came from nowhere, can't even survive the thunder tribulation of his own level, yet he comes here to challenge the thunder tribulation of a higher level?
"Xiaoqing, how did you convince the elders of the Shenxiao Sect to accept Wuji as their disciple? With your impatience and your status as a demon, didn't that annoy them?"
The green snake had a strange expression on its face. It was unwilling to admit that it had been defeated this time, but it was unable to tell the truth, so it could only vaguely mention it:
"I conquer people with virtue and defeat them without fighting. Moreover, this elder has heard about the events at the White Snake Temple and was impressed by them."
"...Xiaoqing, do you believe what you say?"
Bai Sujin probably didn't tell the truth in many of her words. Most likely, the story of the White Snake Temple played a role. The immortal elder knew the green snake's good deeds, so he didn't become an enemy.
The green snake was embarrassed and couldn't hold back her face. She planned to go to the side to practice and try to win the battle one day, but she couldn't help but ask again:
"Sister, you really don't care about that body of merit, right?"
"Are you hiding something from me?" Bai Sujin moved her body, came in front of the green snake, and looked at her scrutinizingly.
"I'm afraid you'll be sulking in silence, affecting your reshaped demon body and leaving it with flaws. As your sister, I have to pay more attention to you!"
"No, there's nothing to be angry about."
"You said it, don't get angry when you find out!"
Green Snake wanted her sister White Snake to swear and promise not to get angry in the future, but she was afraid that her sister would become suspicious, so she kept silent for the time being.

In the front yard of Prince Jing'an's Mansion, the cold wind howled.
Chu Wuji sat down cross-legged calmly, his body as solid as a rock, his energy strong inside, even his dry hair didn't move at all, not fluttering in the cold wind.
The maids nearby were all surprised and looked at this handsome young man with curiosity.
"It turns out those hidden geniuses can be as steady as a pine tree when they meditate. I've watched for a long time, and Master Chu hasn't even moved a hair!"
"We're kind of sheltered from the wind where we're standing. Even padded skirts and jackets will be blown around by the wind."
"Your feet are shaking from the cold, not from the wind."
But in fact, Chu Wuji's hair didn't move, only because the Heavenly Fox Lady was suppressing him...
She rode on Chu Wuji's neck, her two plump legs pressing down on her hair, and her pair of full and proud breasts cushioning his head, wrapping her up in all directions. Even a tiger-head hat might not be as warm as this.
Chu Wuji did not pay attention to the sounds outside, all his attention was focused on his body.
First, he followed the instructions of the Fox Goddess and observed the flow of Qi and blood in his body. Slowly, his inner world became rich and colorful.
Meridians, acupoints, qi organs...
These have always existed, but they were invisible before. They are like ghosts and messengers. They pass by many people, but no one is lucky enough to encounter them.
"I used to wonder how the acupuncture points on the human body were marked in medical books, because after the autopsy, I couldn't find these organs and tissues..."
"Goddess Sky Fox said that if you successfully practice introspection, you should look inward and examine your own body, then light up wherever you see something sparkling. Why can't I see which part is particularly sparkling?"
"It's bad, could it be that my talent is not up to par?"
Chu Wu Ji thought something was wrong, but then he felt something was wrong.
Even the "female ghost master" and Aunt Green Snake all praised his strong body and abundant blood and energy like a fighting bull. No matter how many regrets he had, he should not be without any bright spots.
If everything were truly dull and bleak, how could there be so many voices of praise?
He can't see himself clearly, but it's hard for others to misjudge him.
Chu Wuji thought deeply about the reason and came up with a possibility!
"Light and dark, bright and dim, all need contrast to stand out. If they all look the same, it might be difficult to tell them apart."
Thinking of this, Chu Wuji first selected his five internal organs. When his will was concentrated on these positions, his qi and blood gathered together. The qi and blood, surging like a raging wave, gathered into a stream and impacted his five internal organs.
After a while, the glow radiating from outside was completely integrated into Chu Wuji's five internal organs. The divine light was restrained, and these organs "dimmed" accordingly.
Now we finally have a comparison, it is indeed fully bright!
He doesn't just light up wherever it's bright, but he just lights up wherever he wants.
Chu Wu Ji wanted to attack other glowing places, but found that he couldn't move forward, as if he couldn't gather the strength.
"Oh~ My dear, you've woken up. I've sensed the changes in your body. The five most important organs have been upgraded. Not bad! In the future, I'll focus on tempering these 'bright spots'. You'll have at least two hundred years of lifespan."
As a warrior, your vitality will gradually decline when you reach the age of 150. But even at the moment of death, it will still be easy for you to bully a young person."
Chu Wuji finished his meditation and found himself sweating profusely and breathing rapidly. He asked:
