Chapter 40: Hundred Treasure Refinement Body Tempering Technique!

【Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining the Hundred Treasure Refinement Body Tempering Technique.】

【The reward has been issued to the system space, and the host can check it at any time.】

A translucent jade booklet pattern appeared along with the system prompt sound.

“Hundred Treasure Refinement Body Tempering Technique?”

“Is this a body refining technique?”

Although joy had just appeared on Lu Changsheng’s face, it froze again.

Although he wanted to cultivate techniques, what he wanted was a qi refining technique, not a body refining technique.

Among the cultivators, there was also the practice of body refinement known as body cultivation.

Compared to cultivation techniques, body cultivation could greatly compensate for a cultivator’s weaknesses in the early stages, such as weak survival skills and melee skills.

However, body cultivation technique required more time, effort, and resources than qi cultivation technique.

Most cultivators simply didn’t have the time, energy, and resources to cultivate both body and qi refinement technique.

After all, for most cultivators, the cultivation base, the magical treasures, and the divine abilities were their main priorities.

The physical body was only a secondary concern.

As a dignified immortal cultivator, who would want to fight in hand-to-hand combat?

Body cultivation certainly has its advantages in the early stages.

“Sigh, the first time I drew a technique, it was an auxiliary technique. Now I have  a body refining technique.”

“Is it really that difficult to get a qi refining technique?”

Lu Changsheng shook his head with a sigh.

“But since it’s a body refining technique, so be it. It’s always good to have a variety of skills.”

“Besides, the body is the foundation of the immortal. Other cultivators may not focus much on body refinement, but the path I intend to take in the future does indeed require me to refine my physical body.”

Lu Changsheng took a deep breath.

Of course, he didn’t despise body refining techniques.

It’s just that at this stage, relatively speaking, he was more interested in qi refining techniques.

However, as a cultivator with several wives and concubines, and one who planned to take on more in the future, he felt that he really needed body refinement to properly improve his physical body.

Soon, Lu Changsheng opened the system space to check the technique he had acquired.

[Technique: Hundred Treasure Refinement Body Tempering Technique]

[Grade: Authentic]

[Description: An inherited technique of Bai Zao Mountain, it forges the flesh, meridians, and bones of the human body with heavenly treasures and earthly treasures, making the physical body as strong as a magical weapon, indestructible like a vajra, and possessing various divine abilities of different magical weapons!]

“Wow!”

“This is actually a genuine class technique!”

Lu Changsheng was surprised to see the level of the technique.

Techniques are divided into: Primary, Advanced, Profound, Peripheral, and Genuine.

Genuine Grade is the highest grade he currently knows.

The Immortal Grace Technique that he had obtained earlier was a Peripheral Grade Technique, so he was extremely surprised. 

He had thought that the system could only produce Peripheral Grade techniques.

Unexpectedly, this time, it directly gave him a Genuine Grade technique.

“I can only say that the system is awesome!”

After seeing the description of the Hundred Treasure Refinement Body Tempering Technique, Lu Changsheng couldn’t help but take a deep breath.

Using heavenly materials and earthly treasures to forge the flesh, meridians, and bones of the human body, making the body similar to a magical weapon with the power and abilities of a magical weapon.

Just by looking at this description, one could tell how extraordinary this technique was and how terrifying it would be once it was perfected.

“However, if you refine your body like a magic weapon, you won’t make yourself infertile, right?”  

Lu Changsheng suddenly thought of a problem.

He stayed at Qingzhu Mountain every day and liked to read books in his spare time.

The books he read were very diverse, and he remembered reading in an ancient book that many seemingly powerful techniques had side effects.

For example, after cultivation, a man’s body might become female and unable to reproduce, or his character and temperament might be affected by the technique, and so on.

If there really were such side effects, he would never be able to cultivate them.

Without thinking too much, Lu Changsheng’s mind stirred slightly, and he activated the Hundred Treasure Refinement Body Tempering Technique.

Immediately.

Information about the Hundred Treasure Refinement Body Tempering Technique, including the cultivation method, detailed techniques, and other information, poured into Lu Changsheng’s mind like a revelation.

After a long time, Lu Changsheng opened his eyes and took a deep breath.

This technique was incredibly deep.

If it hadn’t been for the system that directly imparted the technique into his mind, he would have been able to understand it directly.

For such an authentic technique, without someone to guide him, even if it was placed in front of him, it would be difficult for him to understand it and start practicing it.

Even if he managed to understand it, without guidance he would easily run into problems in his cultivation.

As for the side effects he had just thought of, after thoroughly understanding this Hundred Treasure Refinement Body Tempering Technique, he realized that he had worried too much.

An authentic technique is great and profound.

At this level of technique, aside from the high threshold and the difficulty of cultivation, there were basically no problems like side effects.

“However, the more powerful the technique, the more difficult it is to cultivate.” 

Lu Changsheng also sighed.

The cultivation method of this Hundred Treasure Refinement Body Tempering Technique sounded very simple.

Using rare and precious materials from heaven and earth, one can refine the flesh, meridians, and bones of the human body into treasures.

In this process, one can either refine the entire body into a supreme treasure all at once, or one can proceed slowly and refine it step by step.

But ultimately, the goal is to forge the entire body into an indestructible vajra body that can rival heavenly treasures.

With a simple gesture one can unleash earth-shattering divine powers.

However, cultivating this technique is extremely difficult and resource-intensive.

From the very beginning, one must rely on rare and precious materials from heaven and earth to nourish the body.

As the body adapts, higher-level materials must be used to temper and refine the flesh.

This allows the body to gradually progress, comparable to treasures such as magical instruments, spiritual treasures, divine treasures, heavenly treasures, and more.

This process not only consumes resources, but it is also extremely dangerous and requires the utmost caution.

If one is too aggressive or impatient, a small mistake could cause the body to be unable to withstand the refining effects, resulting in its collapse and demise.

After all, the refinement of the body into various treasures is an unimaginable and extremely dangerous act that inherently defies the natural order.

“But I have fully understood this Hundred Treasure Refinement Body Tempering Technique. As long as I am patient and progress slowly, there should be no problem.”

“Besides, even though this Hundred Treasure Refinement Body Tempering Technique is difficult to cultivate, it contains a secret method that allows for shortcuts.”

“That is, you can condense the treasures directly into your body and use them to nourish yourself.”

“It would be impossible for ordinary cultivators to use treasures to refine their bodies, because most of the cultivators of the Foundation Establishment only have one or two treasures at most.”

“But I have the system. In the system’s prize wheel, even authentic-grade cultivation techniques can be drawn. If I can draw a treasure from the treasure wheel, maybe even a spiritual treasure!”

“If I can get a treasure in the future, I can use it to cultivate this Hundred Treasure Refinement Body Tempering Technique, which will allow me to make rapid progress in body refinement.”

Lu Changsheng thought silently, his eyes flickering with determination.

Although this technique was very difficult and had an extremely high threshold, in Lu Changsheng’s eyes, it was still very good and suited him well.

Immediately, Lu Changsheng left the study and went to the training room.

He took out a lump of black iron the size of a pot lid and started practicing the Hundred Treasure Refinement Body Tempering Technique.

This lump of iron was the shield magic instrument he had received from the three bandits at Niutou Mountain earlier.

Under the attack of the talismanic golden brick, the shield artifact was damaged and deformed, destroying all of its restictions and making it suitable only for sale as scrap.

However, this scrap could still be used to create artifacts, making it a kind of ‘Heaven and Earth Treasure’.

Lu Changsheng sat cross-legged, holding the shield, and began to use the Hundred Treasure Refinement Body Tempering Technique.

As his palms circulated spiritual energy, they gradually turned crimson, extracting the essence of the material from the shield artifact to nourish his body.

The shield was refined from cold, dark iron, and as Lu Changsheng absorbed its essence, he felt a touch of coldness entering his body.

After practicing for an hour, Lu Changsheng stopped and exhaled deeply.

“Even though I have reached the third level of qi refinement, my physical body lacks any foundation. Practicing for an hour is about the limit; if I continue for too long, it could easily harm my body.”

“Besides, the material of this shield is of the metal element and tends to be cold. If I continue to practice the Hundred Treasure Refinement Body Tempering Technique with only this material, it might cause hidden injuries. It’s best to get materials of the five elements to balance the yin and yang.”

Lu Changsheng stood up and stretched his muscles and bones.

While practicing the body refining techniques, it was easy for the body to suffer from wear and tear, resulting in subtle hidden injuries that were difficult to detect.

Since Lu Changsheng had thoroughly understood the path of body refinement through the Treasure, he naturally knew how to practice this technique to maximize its benefits without harming his body.
