The flames in the stove were burning brightly, roasting a special deep-walled stone pot sitting on it.
At this time, the hot steam is steaming from the mouth of the pot, and the strong aroma of meat escapes and permeates every corner of the kitchen.
Stewed in the pot were the ribs of a second-level wild boar monster that was newly slaughtered yesterday. After more than three hours of simmering, the soup had become slightly milky white.
Not far from the stove, Gao Yuan was lying on the stone table, holding a piece of rib meat that was a bit larger than an ordinary pork knuckle in his hands, and was tearing and chewing it.
"Hiccup!"
Throwing the chewed bone aside, Gao Yuan couldn't help but sigh in comfort.
More than ten kilograms of second-level monster meat was eaten. At this moment, he felt hot blood all over his body and his nasal cavity was slightly sticky.
Even the breath he exhaled had a burning smell.
Seeing this, he no longer delayed, and blocked the stove's damper with a thought, then turned around and went to the physical training room.
He simply took off all his clothes, and then quickly performed the already familiar set of body-strengthening movements that he was no longer familiar with.
With his movements, the large amount of Qi and blood energy that had accumulated in the middle of the chest and abdomen gradually dissolved, and with the flow of blood, it dispersed and lurked throughout the body.
Sitting on the stone chair aside, Gao Yuan took out the jade slip that recorded the body-training techniques, and quickly went through the formulas and annotations recorded in it in his mind.
After confirming that there were no mistakes, he took out one bottle each of the Body Refining Pill and the Qi-Building Pill and put them aside, and then sat cross-legged on the specially-made training table nearby.
After calming down a little, he skillfully extracted a wisp of innate essence from the innate air sea.
According to a completely different operating method from the "Art of Connecting the Gods" and "The Art of Immortality", this innate essence coiled around the sea of qi and slowly moved in a strange way.
With the experience of master-level exercises and spells, at this time, he can already use the innate essence like an arm and a finger.
Therefore, the transformation process of innate essence was very smooth, and the operation requirements of this body training method were met in a short time.
Gao Yuan did not pause at this point. With a thought, he guided this innate essence, which had been transformed and had its nature changed, into the main vein that led directly to the innate air sea.
"Hiss~!"
As soon as this special ray of innate essence entered, the main vein began to throb as if it had been torn apart. Stimulated by the heart-breaking pain, Gao Yuan couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.
The innate essence that originally ran smoothly and abnormally according to the path of "The Art of Tongshen" and "The Art of Immortality", after being transformed according to the requirements of this unknown body-training method, turned into a hedgehog covered with spikes.
, every time it advances through the meridians, it seems to be torn off and crushed into pieces.
The pain was so severe that it was almost negligible compared with the pain from previous physical strengthening exercises.
Affected by this severe pain, his first exercise was also forced to be interrupted.
Although it was mentioned in the exercise notes that the first time the exercise was performed, a step called 'opening the pulse' was required, which would be accompanied by a certain amount of pain. He was actually mentally prepared for this.
But I really didn’t expect you to be in such pain!
The top ten tortures of the Manchu Qing Dynasty were nothing more than this, right?
Gao Yuan complained in his heart with some helplessness. If he hadn't paid a huge price to practice this skill before, he might have thought of giving up at this time.
No, compared with my own safety, this pain is nothing. No matter how painful it is, I have to endure it!
Besides, we have already reached this point. Not to mention all the energy spent in the middle, hundreds of thousands of intermediate spirit stones have been thrown into it. It would be too much of a loss to give up at this time. We have to persevere no matter what.
!
After building up his mental self for a while, Gao Yuan gritted his teeth, sat cross-legged again, and soon began his second attempt at running the technique.
Following his guidance, the innate essence that had undergone transformation and changed its nature entered his main veins again, and the painful feeling that penetrated the bone marrow enveloped his heart again.
Wherever this special wisp of innate essence went, his whole body's meridians seemed to be being cut into pieces, and he was suffering great pain every minute and every second.
"Ho~ho!"
Suffering from this stimulation, his breathing gradually became thicker, and there was a faint vibrato in his breathing.
At this time, a strange flushing color appeared on the surface of his body, and fine beads of sweat appeared in layers, dripping continuously on the training table under him.
Despite suffering such inhuman pain, the operation of his skills did not stop at all.
Wisps of transformed special innate essence, guided by his thoughts, continuously poured into the main meridians and spread along the meridians toward the limbs and bones.
…
In this extreme pain, Gao Yuan had already lost the concept of time.
At this time, he was just relying on the breath he was holding in his heart to forcefully support the continuous operation of the technique.
I don't know how long it took, as long as a century passed, but the steps of this exercise called 'opening the pulse' were finally completed with his persistence.
He slowly stopped the exercise and let out a long sigh of exhaustion.
Then he subconsciously glanced at the jade dial hanging on the door frame. It was less than a quarter of an hour before midnight.
Before you know it, thirteen hours have passed!
He concentrated for a moment, and his spiritual thoughts turned into tentacles, looking inside the body.
Through the dense surging Qi and blood energy, one could see that the surface of the meridians all over his body were like fish scales, covered with layers of fine and regular small breaks.
Gao Yuanyuan breathed a sigh of relief. So far, everything was exactly the same as the description of the body-training technique.
The small breaks on the surface of these meridians are like being filled with countless tiny spikes. It is okay to sit still, but the slightest movement will cause bone-piercing pain.
If enemies block the door at this time, it will be great fun!
Gao Yuan silently laughed at himself in his heart, then endured the severe pain, reached out and picked up the two pill bottles on the side, poured out a Qi-Building Pill and a Body-Refining Pill from each, and drank them one after another.
These two elixirs naturally melt in the mouth, and each of them turns into a stream of heat after being taken.
The former was directly submerged into the innate air sea, while the latter was quietly entrenched in his chest.
Gao Yuan did not dare to neglect this. After concentrating for a moment, he gathered together the innate essence that spurted out from the sea of qi, and slowly started operating it according to the subsequent formulas.
A moment later, a mysterious wave suddenly spread out from the innate air sea.
Then he saw the hot current entrenched in his chest, as if being guided, directly intertwined with the innate essence gathered on the periphery of the Qi Sea.
As the exercise proceeds, it transforms into a mysterious energy that flows along the meridians and throughout every corner of the body.
After these mysterious energies filled the meridians throughout the body, they began to gradually escape from the fish-scale-shaped breach that was damaged during the process of 'opening the meridians'.
Like willow branches sprouting in spring, the mysterious energy escaping from the breach quickly transformed into a 'root system' extending from the meridians, and took root tightly in every corner of the body.
In a daze, Gao Yuan felt that every inch of flesh and every cell in his body had established a direct connection with his mind through these new root systems.
It was as if as long as he thought, these flesh and blood cells could act spontaneously according to his instructions!
At the same time, the qi and blood energy that was originally hidden in his body now seemed to be under inexplicable guidance and actively gathered around the 'root systems' extending from the meridians.
After being quickly absorbed by the latter, it is integrated with the mysterious energy running in the meridians and transformed into a special energy called 'blood element'.
And as these 'blood elements' follow the movement of the technique, the flesh and blood all over the body is like a sponge that has been dry for a long time meeting water, frantically absorbing these 'blood elements' transported through the meridians.
And his physical strength also continued to rise in the process.
No wonder it is said that this body-refining technique must be supplemented with special elixirs. Without the latter, just the first step of 'opening the pulse' would not be possible, let alone the subsequent 'blood removal' and 'tempering'.
'It's up!
Seeing that the new 'blood element' in his body had weakened, Gao Yuan poured out a body refining pill again and swallowed it in one gulp, and then began to practice the exercises again.
…
Feeling that the 'blood element' running in the meridians was already stagnating, and the flesh and blood all over his body seemed to have entered a state of 'blood element' saturation during the previous carnival, Gao Yuan slowly stopped the second stage of the exercise.
The law operates.
He looked up at the jade dial again, and it was now three o'clock in the morning.
After more than eight hours, the second step of the first practice - 'moving blood' was finally completed!
Next is the final step of ‘tempering’!
Gao Yuan muttered to himself, then took out the jade slip and compared the steps of the third step again in his mind.
After confirming that it was correct, he stood up and came to the empty training ground nearby.
After calming down his mood, he mobilized some accumulated 'blood element' in his meridians, and slowly started running it according to the corresponding exercise path.
At the same time, he unhurriedly pulled away in a somewhat weird posture.
Its range of movements is somewhat larger than the previous set of strengthening movements that laid the foundation.
Even so, this action was only half completed. He stood on the spot and accumulated strength for a while, then controlled his body and twisted it violently like a twist.
"Ke~ke~ke~"
"Hiss~!"
As soon as he made this move, a series of dense explosions came from his body.
A sharp pain that was slightly more severe than the 'open pulse' moment suddenly appeared, making him shiver and take a breath of cold air.
Without even checking carefully, he could feel that the muscles in the area he had just stretched were being broken one by one under the dual effects of the large twisting movements and the violent movement of the martial arts in his body.
But then, under the influence of a large amount of 'blood element', it was quickly repaired in a more solid form, just like being broken and then standing again.
With the help of his inner vision and the body's own feelings, Gao Yuan quickly collected various status data of his body at this time, constantly corresponding to the descriptions in the exercise notes.
After confirming that nothing was wrong, he once again pulled out a somewhat weird posture. After a while, he gathered strength and twisted his body violently again.
"Ke~ke~ke..."
"Fuck!"
The moment the severe pain hit him, he screamed again.
…
It was not until after midnight that the last movement of the 'body tempering' process, which included 159 movements, was completed, and this also marked the official end of the first practice of this set of body training techniques.
Gao Yuan staggered for a few steps, and then sat down on a stone chair beside him in some exhaustion. The moment he came into contact with the back of the chair, he triggered several unhealed wounds. He grimaced in pain and kept inhaling.
Taking the body refining pill, he quickly poured one out and put it into his mouth. As soon as the strong potion melted away, it was eaten away by the flesh and blood around it like a sponge.
Gao Yuan saw this and quickly poured out another pill and swallowed it. Then he couldn't wait to open the system panel:
【Name】: Gao Yuan
【Shouyuan】:22/203
[Realm]: Fourth level of Kaiyuan Realm
[Gong method]: (Main) Kaiyuan Chapter of Tongshen Jue, Grandmaster
(Vice) Unnamed, entry-level (0%)
…
It was almost as he expected, because the practice of this body-training technique basically did not involve the growth of the innate air sea, so the system did not cover it with the Soul-Connecting Technique, but divided the two techniques into priority and ranked them next to each other.
.
He then opened the deduction panel:
[Unnamed]: The second-level advanced skill has insufficient conditions and cannot be deduced yet.
Just like the previous Dan recipe, this technique also shows ‘insufficient conditions and cannot be deduced temporarily’ on the deduction interface, but I don’t know what the so-called preconditions are.
Since it is impossible to deduce it for the time being, Gao Yuan no longer pays attention to this point.
He first casually named this unknown body-training technique "Blood Jade Technique", and then used the 'deduction' function to upgrade its proficiency to the master level.
A huge flow of information immediately emerged in his mind. After he digested these new memories, his understanding of the "Blood Jade Technique" and the entire body refining path jumped directly to a level of
The ultimate realm.
…
I don't know whether the effect of the top-grade body refining pill is too strong, or the passive practice of the master-level "Blood Jade Technique" is too mysterious, but all the physical damage caused by the previous practice was repaired in less than two hours.
In addition, Gao Yuan felt that his physical strength had also been improved again during this process.
I guess using blood yuan to repair injuries is also part of this "Blood Jade Art"!
Even so, Gao Yuan decided to give himself a day off to have a good rest and recuperate.
At this time, he was lying on the leisure chair in the lounge, quietly meditating on the four incantations on the back of the jade slip of "Blood Jade Skill".
According to the description in it, the function of the first spell is somewhat similar to the substitution spell.
When an attack is coming, it can separate part of the body like a shell to attract damage, thereby freeing the body from the attack. This skill is particularly effective for those attacks that use energy locking.
Thinking of this, Gao Yuan instantly became comparable to the Kaiyuan Realm young man who died in his hands before. How similar was the ability that the other party used when he escaped in the end to this spell?
At that time, this jade slip was obtained from the other party. Presumably the other party used this spell at that time, and it was so miraculous.
Gao Yuan commented in his heart, and then looked at the training conditions for this spell: "Blood Jade Technique" third level!
Since the practice of "Blood Jade Technique" has nothing to do with the strengthening of the innate relationship between air and sea, the progress of this technique is not tied to the level of cultivation, but is divided into nine levels according to the degree of tempering of the physical body.
·
When he saw the second spell, Gao Yuan's eyes suddenly lit up.
It is said that after this spell is cast, the caster's height, fatness, and appearance can be changed at will. Even the growth of hair can be freely controlled. It requires five levels of "Blood Jade Technique" to practice.
A must-have disguise skill for killing people and setting fires!
Why does he have such a sloppy beard? Or is he worried that his too young appearance will attract the attention of interested people?
With this skill, the world is really big and everyone can reach it!
Just for this skill, the suffering of practicing "Blood Jade Skill" is worth it!
Gao Yuan thought excitedly in his heart!
·
As for the third spell, it is a defensive method.
According to the description in the jade slip, it can form a powerful protective blood glow on the surface of the body.
To resist various incoming attacks, one needs the seventh level of "Blood Jade Skill" to practice.
This is another very useful ability!
This is also the fundamental reason why he wanted to take the path of body training in the first place, hoping to strengthen himself so that he could withstand beatings!
·
As for the last spell, Gao Yuan didn't pay much attention to it, even though it had a cultivation threshold of up to the ninth level of "Blood Jade Technique".
Because this is a skill that condenses blood light to attack at close range.
First of all, he does not lack attack methods at this time, and in addition, he has developed fighting habits.
Rather than rushing forward to fight with people in close combat, he still prefers to hit people with his kung fu from a distance!
