Nurturing Dragons in the Human Body Immortal Lake

Under the cover of night, Golden Haze rays suddenly shone on the mountain, which was over a thousand meters high, attracting some old beasts to spy on it. They mistook it for a sacred tree bearing fruit that was gradually ripening.

Once they realized it was a humanoid creature, they quickly retreated.

On a quiet mountaintop, atop a giant rock, Qin Ming's entire body glowed, even his long hair seemed to be made of drawn gold threads, and his eyes seemed to contain lightning.

The effects of the Vajra Fruit exceeded his expectations. A scorching flame and a surge of life force coursed through his body, as if it were transforming him.

At this moment, it seemed as if cicadas were chirping within him, or perhaps accompanied by the roar of a dragon, and the unexpected release of his indestructible Diamond.

This is naturally because it involves various scriptures related to physical constitution, such as the Zen meaning of metamorphosis in the Golden Cicada Scripture and the true essence of flesh and blood enhancement in the Dragon Snake Scripture.

Without a doubt, after Qin Ming consumed the fruit rich in Spiritual Matter, his Vajra Force became the most active among all techniques, making it the most compatible Strange Medicine for him.

Now his eyes and brows were radiant with golden light, his body Lingering by the fragrance of sandalwood and musk, and even his flowing blood had temporarily turned into a dazzling gold.

Qin Ming stood up and circulated the Vajra Sutra to further enhance the effects of the medicine.

At the mountaintop, golden light surged, and his every move exuded a sacred majesty. Each time he raised his Vajra Fist, it was as if Golden Crow was flapping its wings, creating a deafening sonic boom.

Immediately, he spread his five fingers on his right hand, and the tangible Vajra Pestle materialized. He held it in his hand and gently pushed it away. The thick old tree and the hard Black Tortoise in front of him silently shattered into dust in the golden light.

He had mastered this Cultivation Method and perfected the Vajra Force, but the medicinal effects were still very strong and had not yet been fully exerted.

In the blink of an eye, Qin Ming switched to practicing the "Flesh Body Chapter" passed down by the Ancestor of the Silk Book Method, a True Scripture that he now valued highly.

His body began to undergo subtle changes; his tendons, like coiled dragons, stretched and vibrated continuously, becoming crystal clear and far more resilient than before.

Qin Ming had a strange feeling that all the major tendons in his body had come alive, like "True Dragon" reviving and extending through his flesh and blood, swimming freely.

He had long realized that the true value of the "Flesh Body Chapter" was far beyond that of ordinary secret manuals, and that it could truly open up a new path forward.

If this continues, he won't need to use the Heavenly Light Force; he can defeat his enemies simply by relying on his superior physique.

"Um?"

Clearly, the changes in his body were far from over.

"Such a Yi Jin Jing is unheard of!" Qin Ming felt that all the meridians in his body had come alive, full of spirituality, and covered with a layer of Daoist charm.

This experience made him feel as if he had been fitted with Dragon Sinews.

Because, from his every move, one could sense that his physique was exceptionally strong; without using any external force techniques, he should be able to kill an opponent of the same level with his bare hands.

Qin Ming absorbed the medicinal properties of the Diamond and continuously practiced the <Flesh Body Chapter>.

As time went by, his meridians and tendons revived further, and when he shook his flesh and bones, a dragon's roar actually rang out.

"This is the gentle resonance of the Dao!"

Qin Ming's eyes gleamed with golden light as he unleashed his fist intent, stretching his body and using the Flesh Body Chapter to stretch his tendons, making the dragon's roar within him even louder.

A moment later, his expression suddenly changed.

He saw one acupoint after another glowing, as if they contained strange energy, like precious medicines waiting to be discovered.

"Sure enough, another way." Qin Ming looked inside his head, his eyes gleaming with a strange light.

After he mastered the <Li Fire Scripture> to perfection, he unlocked the Secret Treasure, obtaining not only a secret manual but also a diagram of acupoints, which he needed to study in the Third Realm.

Now, he is practicing the Flesh Body Chapter, which also involves acupoints, and he is directly opening and activating them, even ahead of schedule, as if there are small "lakes" glowing.

"As expected of one of the mother classics from which Silk Book Method draws its nourishment, it is truly mysterious!" Qin Ming exclaimed.

He discovered that the veins, which seemed to have been resurrected as True Dragon, were more active, connecting to the "lakes" and drinking water from those glowing orifices.

"These are different from ordinary acupoints; they are like Divine Treasury deeper within the flesh and blood, or the Human Body Immortal Lake, containing power that can accumulate strength for the 'dragon,' promote its growth, and greatly enhance its physique."

Sure enough, Qin Ming found that his physique had become even stronger. He felt that if Li Qingxu were in front of him, he could kill him with just his fists.

"The medicinal properties of the Vajra Fruit are being used up quickly; is it almost gone?" Qin Ming asked in surprise.

The Divine Treasury deep within the flesh and blood, also known as the Human Body Immortal Lake, releases its own spirituality while simultaneously refining medicinal properties, rapidly transforming them into physical strength.

Clearly, this is the initial manifestation of the supernatural phenomena in the "Flesh Body Chapter".

Qin Ming realized that he was only now getting to know the essence of this scripture.

Next, in order to practice the "Flesh Body Chapter," he even used the Vajra Sutra to nourish his practice.

Soon after, he used the two Strange Blood he had obtained on the desert battlefield, and subsequently, the miraculous phenomenon of Dragon Sucking Water appeared in his body.

Those sinewy dragons continuously absorb the mysterious substances from the Human Body Immortal Lake.

The crackling sounds continued as Qin Ming's muscles and bones stretched, his body seemed to be reshaped, and he was bathed in a sacred radiance imbued with Daoist charm.

Finally, the mountaintop quieted down. Qin Ming's divine light subsided, and he returned to his original, peaceful state. However, his body still emitted a faint fragrance, like ambergris or sandalwood.

Qin Ming beckoned, summoning the Thunder King Bird of the Third Realm to attack him. He wanted to test the technique, as he felt his physique had undergone a fundamental change.

It hesitated, saying, "This... isn't that a bad idea? The lightning I spewed out wasn't weak at all."

"It's okay, come on!"

Then, streaks of lightning appeared in the night sky. These were naturally far inferior to the lightning during a thunderstorm, but they were indeed genuine Third Realm techniques.

Qin Ming did not use the Heavenly Light Force; his fists and palms only carried a faint, mysterious Daoist charm. Relying solely on his Flesh Body Chapter, he easily dispersed the lightning bolts.

He punched the cliff face, creating a terrifying fist-shaped hole, and then large sections of the mountain wall began to collapse and fall.

Qin Ming himself was deeply surprised, because he had mastered the <Flesh Body Chapter> to the level he had always dreamed of, and its power was similar to that of the Heavenly Light Force he used.

This is equivalent to a significant increase in his physical strength, resulting in astonishing defensive capabilities. As the saying goes, "Indestructible as Diamond, why would one need Divine Ability?" His physical body is simply indestructible.

If faced with a life-or-death battle, even when his Heavenly Light Force is exhausted, his physical body can still fight, and it will be no weaker than before, which is equivalent to recreating himself to participate in the battle.

"You've reached the level I've been striving for so quickly?" Qin Ming felt it was all a bit unreal.

He had been practicing various Heavenly Light Force for almost a year, yet the Flesh Body Chapter had caught up with him. How could he not be shocked?

"This Vajra Fruit is extraordinary!"

At first, he was not satisfied because when he used his battle merits to exchange for them, he had no choice but to receive an unripe Vajra Fruit, half gold and half green.

Now it seems the other party wasn't lying to him. Mature Vajra Fruit are used to refine Great Medicine, meant for experts of the Fourth Realm. This green fruit is enough for him.

"A true Treasured Medicine!"

The most precious Great Medicine found on a Immortal Grave demonstrates its true value.

Qin Ming quickly calmed down. Even if the Vajra Fruit was most suitable for body tempering and matched the <Flesh Body Chapter>, it shouldn't have been chasing his Heavenly Light Force so fiercely.

He pondered it, and then he understood.

"Actually, I've been practicing it all along; it's not like I just started learning it recently."

His Silk Book Method already contains some of the essence of the Flesh Body Chapter, such as the "Jade Suit Sewn with Gold Threads," golden needle threading, and jade mud application of medicine that appeared when he practiced martial arts. These are the most direct manifestations.

Therefore, he was able to quickly master the Flesh Body Chapter and reach this level.

"No wonder the Ancestor of the Silk Book Method said that the Flesh Body Chapter has withstood the test of time and still shines brightly today, with lost treasures waiting to be discovered."

If the ancient Ancestor have said so, this True Scripture naturally deserves to be explored more deeply.

Qin Ming pondered that he could incorporate the remaining essence of this scripture into his Silk Book Method in the future.

Next, he repeatedly tested the quality of the Flesh Body Chapter and examined its maximum value.

"It is not weaker than other Heavenly Light Force, but it cannot compare to the unified force of the Silk Book Method."

By now, Qin Ming had come into contact with many classic texts, but in the end, the Silk Book Method was still the most impressive and was his Fundamental Scripture.

"It seems that the Ancestor incorporated many extraordinary True Scripture into the Silk Book Method, displaying a very grand spirit, wishing they could encompass and suppress everything. Perhaps it is precisely because of this that even they themselves could not control it in the end, developing serious problems and ultimately exploding themselves," Qin Ming remarked.

He already knew that the founder of Silk Book Method came from the Ancestral Court of Six Sovereigns, Tathagata, Sky-Pillar, and Jade Clarity Sect, and should be the previous generation's Ancestor, or perhaps even one or two generations higher in status!

Even such a powerful figure couldn't withstand it in the end, which only shows that the scriptures were too domineering and flawed, making them a semi-failed method.

Qin Ming relies on his talent to succeed, and he is making steady progress at every step. He has also made minor adjustments to his Silk Book Method using the "Life Altering Scripture" and other methods, and he believes he can succeed on this path.

"My strength has improved again, it's like I've recreated myself. It's a pity that I haven't broken through to the Third Realm."

Without a doubt, he had reached the Second Realm Perfection.

His physical condition improved significantly, but his Heavenly Light Force and Spirit Domain did not see a qualitative improvement, so he could not undergo a comprehensive transformation and could not break through major barriers.

"The New Life Path is indeed difficult; every step Heavenly Gate, and breaking through major barriers is extremely challenging," Qin Ming sighed.

He stood on the mountain and looked out. The whole mountain was covered with the deep colors of autumn. All the grass and trees were turning slightly yellow, and the leaves were withering and falling.

"Last year, when the snow was falling heavily, I embarked on my New Life Path. It's been almost a year now. Hmm, thinking about it that way, it doesn't seem like a long time."

Instantly, his mood improved considerably.

Upon careful consideration, the Second Realm of the New Life Path — the Outer Saint —is something that ordinary geniuses typically take thirty years to perfect before attempting to break through.

He accomplished in almost a year what others take thirty years to achieve!

If you calculate it that way, he's progressing even faster than the Immortal Seed from Beyond the Mundane and the God Seed from the Esoteric Sect.

"The New Life Path is generally quite difficult!" Qin Ming sighed softly, after all, he was just a special case.

The common phenomenon is that geniuses on the New Life Path only reach the threshold of the Third Realm after they reach middle age, and many of them even have gray hair at their temples.

Qin Ming carefully sensed his own condition. Standing at the most perfect realm of the Second Realm, at his current peak, his strength was unprecedentedly powerful.

"Given my current excellent condition, I might be able to break through the Heavenly Gate of the Third Realm soon, or it might take a year or two before things naturally fall into place."

Qin Ming frowned; this was fraught with uncertainty.

He took out a transparent spiritual crystal, inside which was sealed a precious pill, the Dragon Tiger Pill.

In the past, Cui Chonghe violated regulations by entering the Luofu Immortal Mountain Ruins, which Li Qingyue caught him doing wrong. In the end, he was forced to settle the matter with the Dragon-Tiger Treasured Medicine refined by Sun Taichu.

When they met in Kunling, Li Qingyue gave Qin Ming a Dragon Tiger Pill.

"Yes, recently, I'll try to break through on my own, but I need to keep a close eye on the changing situation on the Ancestor Battlefield. If anything seems amiss, I'll immediately take Treasured Medicine to break through!"

If things really deteriorate to that point, even though it would be a waste of resources, he would have no choice but to break through the barrier first.

From then on, Qin Ming pushed himself to the limit every single day.

On the fifth day, a Iron Winged Parrot flew in desperately, crying out, "Guardians of Green Maple Town, save us! Demons have invaded, and a great battle has broken out!"

It's weekend break, so there will only be one chapter tonight. Thank you all for reading.
