Chapter 5
Senior Brother Huang, who was guarding the scripture depository, turned his head and looked over.
He saw Li Ming holding a thick stack of four cultivation techniques.
At first, he was stunned, then he persuaded earnestly, “Junior Brother Li, why are you borrowing so many body tempering cultivation techniques?”
“Why are you practicing this? There’s no future in this path.”
Li Ming smiled kindly and said, “Senior Brother Huang, don’t worry… I’m just planning on bringing them back with me and taking a look at them.”
Senior Brother Huang thought, “Just taking a look? If so, then why are you carrying so many of them?”
“Junior Brother Li, why are you so stubborn?” Senior Brother Huang sighed.
“How about this? If you still can’t reach the martial dao foundation establishment after this, just switch to qi cultivation already. What do you think?”
Senior Brother Huang tried to convince him one last time.
Li Ming nodded.
He knew that Senior Brother Huang had said all that with kind intentions.
However, he really had no choice. There was nothing much he could do with regard to the entry related to qi cultivation. He simply did not have much talent in that regard.
Moreover, on the path of immortality, those who could simply be persuaded were not suitable to walk this path.
On the path of body refinement, one had to press forward with an indomitable will.
Senior Brother Huang looked exasperated, but he still helped Li Ming register for the books.
As a first-class sect in the eastern continent, these martial dao cultivation techniques were also a part of the foundation of the sect.
This time, Li Ming chose books that were suitable for him.
These were all very practical martial dao techniques that he had carefully selected.
Rather than letting these books eat dust in the scripture depository, it would be better for me to carry them onward with my own hands!
…
Holding the stack of ancient books, Li Ming returned to his cave abode with excitement.
With these cultivation techniques, he could be considered to have officially stepped through the entrance of the martial dao and immortal cultivation.
Qi cultivation was the trend now, but who could say that body cultivation could not make one stronger?
“Thud~”
He placed the ancient books on the table in the room and carefully wiped the dust off of them.
Then, he immersed himself in his studies.
The [Blazing Sun Body Tempering Art].
He had already roughly looked through it in the scripture depository.
He could start practicing it right away.
Li Ming was slightly excited. After learning this body refining cultivation technique, he would be one step closer to becoming a body refining expert.
“Allows one to absorb the yang qi between the heaven and earth and turn it into the blazing sun true qi…”
“This Blazing Sun Body Tempering Art is truly tyrannical!”
Li Ming did not say anything more and began to practice the internal cultivation technique.
This would be his internal body refining cultivation technique!
After Li Ming stood still according to the habit he developed from stance training, he circulated his true qi through his meridians for less than one cycle.
The surface of his skin gradually began to glow with a reddish glow, causing his skin to look like hot iron.
His entire body was filled with blazing sun true qi. If an ordinary cultivator were to draw in the qi into his body like this, his internal organs would probably be burned to ashes.
However, Li Ming was not afraid in the slightest because he had gone through the stages of blood changing, organs refining, and marrow cleansing. This level of true qi was just within the range that he could bear.
Martial dao within, impervious to gods!
As soon as he started to use the [Blazing Sun Body Tempering Art], the blue entry [Unobstructed Hundred Meridians] immediately came into effect, and every part of his body began burning.
Every one of his cells was reborn through the fire.
“Thump!”
Thumping sounds came from within his body, mixed with the sound of impurities being burned.
It was as if a junction had been opened up. With ease, he successfully practiced the first level of the [Blazing Sun Body Tempering Art]!
Li Ming was both surprised and elated.
Even with his foundation in body tempering, his cultivation speed was still extremely fast.
He continued to practice according to the cultivation technique and completed the first circulation smoothly. There were no blockages in his meridians.
“Swish!”
With the explosive sound of his qi and blood being connected, Li Ming’s body burned even more fiercely, and he also broke through the second level of the [Blazing Sun Body Tempering Art]!
Suddenly, all the yang qi in his surroundings gathered above his head.
At this time, as Li Ming stood in his courtyard, he looked just like a man of searing iron. His body would glow brighter and then dim. Then, he would brighten again, before dimming once again; it was just like breathing.
If one were to look inside his body, one would find that the meridians in his body were like hot red tubes.
And at the same time, white smoke was rising from the surface of his body.
Li Ming looked as if he had turned into a furnace. The temperature around him suddenly rose, and the air began to distort.
“Blazing Sun Body Tempering Art, third level!”
“Break!”
As the blazing sun true qi completed circulations inside Li Ming’s body, a series of rumbling and booming sounds came from all over his body!
With the 100% efficiency boost from the entry, Li Ming practiced the [Blazing Sun Body Tempering Art], a profound martial dao cultivation technique, to the third level in one sitting!
I… I’ve already reached the third level?
Li Ming was excited. The effect of the entry was simply too amazing.
With [Unobstructed Hundred Meridians], no matter what body tempering cultivation technique he practiced, he would be able to get twice the result with half the effort!
He silently looked inside himself, and he could not help but be shocked.
After the first three years of diligent training, his body could be said to be an excellent unpolished jade.
Once everything was threaded together, the hidden luster underneath finally began to come to light.
He had only reached the third level, but he already felt that his strength had improved greatly. Given some time, the bodies of cultivators of the same level would definitely not be as strong as his.
Even with Li Ming’s calm personality, he could not help but sigh, “Who says that only qi cultivation can lead to the peak of immortal cultivation…”
From today on, he could be considered to have become the prototype of a heaven’s favorite.
He had broken through three levels in one day.
Moreover, the effect of the third level of the [Blazing Sun Body Tempering Art] was very obvious. The blazing sun true qi in his body could cleanse his marrows and strengthen his body.
Body refinement can actually be really strong.
At this moment, Li Ming felt that his three years of non-stop training and practice had been worth it.
After he practiced the [Blazing Sun Body Tempering Art], he took in large amounts of yang qi from the world.
“Huff… Haah…”
“Huff… Haah…”
All of a sudden, Li Ming felt that there was a fire blazing throughout his entire body.
The fire was raging inside his body. Those who did not know what was going on might think that he had gone astray.
He immediately held his breath and focused, suppressing the [Blazing Sun Body Tempering Art].
After some thought, Li Ming understood what was going on.
It turned out that he could not absorb too much of the blazing sun true qi.
A little bit was fine, but if he absorbed too much yang qi, it would self-immolate in his body, and the flame that resulted from it would not be an ordinary flame!
It would be the blazing sun true flame, and such a flame would burn his muscles and fibers, subjecting him to horrific side effects.
Li Ming had accidentally absorbed too much in his excitement.
If it were an ordinary cultivator who cultivated the cultivation technique from the first level instead, then something like this would not have happened to them.
It could only be said that his meridians were too clear, and his efficiency in cultivating the technique was too high.
All of his acupoints were like suction cups, madly absorbing the yang qi from the world, causing the blazing sun true qi within him to expand and head toward self-immolation.
“Hehehe…”
Li Ming did not know if this was a good thing or a bad thing. The fire in his body seemed like it would blaze endlessly, and ordinary water would definitely be unable to put it out.
The only thing he could do now was to exhaust this qi through training.
He did not panic and immediately forced all the fire to his dantian.
He used his only hand that was not on fire to flip open the ancient book on the [Five Divine Fists].
With the effect of [Unobstructed Hundred Meridians (Blue)], the efficiency with which he cultivated body tempering cultivation techniques was increased by 100%.
Li Ming, who already had a foundation in fist techniques, was able to achieve great results with ease when practicing the [Five Divine Fists].
This [Five Divine Fists] was no ordinary fist technique.
According to what was written in the ancient book, he had to visualize the wind, forest, fire, mountain, and sun!
He would have to imagine his body as a small world and, with the help of a special posture, allow the internal qi to rush out of special acupoints.
He immediately began to practice the fist technique.
He had to release the fire in his body!
