Ancient Body Refining Technique

Su Yu, unable to figure it out, pressed down the doubts in his heart and began to focus on cultivation.

He had Lin Dong cook half a jin of Spirit Rice at noon. After eating the Spirit Rice, Su Yu borrowed its thin spiritual energy and sat cross-legged beneath a tree in the courtyard, calming his mind and concentrating his spirit as he cultivated the Wutong Greenwood Art.

The spiritual energy is a little thin. Although the manor has already laid down a Spirit Gathering Array, and this spot has the densest spiritual energy nearby, it still can't compare to those sect blessed lands.

Carefully sensing his own cultivation speed, Su Yu lightly shook his head.

The Su Family's strength was still a little too poor.

They did not even have clan lands with a low-tier spirit vein.

If they could have a low-tier spirit vein, his cultivation speed would probably increase by two or three times.

Now, in this thin spiritual energy environment, he could only rely on the spiritual energy of Spirit Rice to cultivate.

Fortunately, with the spiritual energy of the Spirit Rice nourishing him, Su Yu's cultivation speed had indeed increased by a tiny bit.

Originally, he needed to cultivate for more than four double-hours a day before reaching his limit. After taking Spirit Rice, he only needed to cultivate for less than four double-hours each day.

The next day, the proficiency of the first layer of the Wutong Greenwood Art rose to 1.88%.

Compared to the previous day, it had increased by about 0.28%.

Calculated this way, he would need one year to advance to Qi Refining Stage Two.

Because he had only just stepped onto the path of an immortal cultivator, Su Yu temporarily had no duties arranged for him in the clan. Every day, he only needed to cultivate step by step, and every month he could receive a monthly allowance of Spirit Stones and Spirit Rice.

"Let's try a Low-grade Spirit Stone." Su Yu could not help using the only Low-grade Spirit Stone in his hand to cultivate.

Five days passed in a row, and Su Yu's cultivation speed doubled.

No, it should be said that the proficiency growth speed of the Wutong Greenwood Art doubled.

In five days, the proficiency rose from the original 1.88% to 4.7%.

The magic power of the Wutong Greenwood Art within his body had grown by a great deal.

Unfortunately, after five days, the spiritual energy in that Low-grade Spirit Stone had already been completely exhausted. Without Spirit Stones, he could only rely on Spirit Rice to cultivate.

His cultivation speed fell sharply.

"Using Spirit Stones really is comfortable." Su Yu was a little unused to it, but he quickly adjusted himself.

Slow was slow. As long as the proficiency could rise, that was enough. There was no hurry.

After all, he was only sixteen, and still had decades of lifespan. If he steadily and solidly cultivated immortality, he should have a chance to successfully reach Foundation Establishment.

At that time, he would have two hundred years of lifespan, and could then try to search for an opportunity to achieve Golden Core...

If he kept his head down, there was hope for Golden Core True Person!

The days were very peaceful. Aside from cultivating, Su Yu also practiced the two spells in his hands.

The proficiency of the two spells was much easier to raise than cultivation techniques. Every day, step by step, cultivating from nine to five, their proficiency quickly rose above 10%.

Without having to look after the family's affairs, Su Yu's daily life was very fulfilling. Every day, come thunder or lightning, he cultivated techniques and spells without fail.

That day, during his free time, Su Yu came to the family's Archive Pavilion and looked through all sorts of classics related to the cultivation world.

"Cloud Sword Sect: A Thousand Years of Storms".

"The Secrets Great Ming Prefecture and Great Ming Palace Have No Choice But to Tell".

"Glimpses of Moon Worship Immortal City".

"Strange Tales of the Great Qian Cultivation World".

"Cloud Sword Sect's Founding Ancestor, Cloud Sword Fairy, was rumored to have been an incomparably beautiful sword immortal who once sliced a great mountain flat with a single sword strike and established the Cloud Sword Sect's mountain gate."

"Five hundred years ago, a Prodigy Dao Child emerged from the Cloud Sword Sect. At only sixty years old, he had already reached the realm of Golden Core True Person, leading the Cloud Sword Sect toward its peak. Yet one hundred years later, this Dao Child was heavily injured for no reason and perished. Rumor said he had once challenged a Nascent Soul mighty figure of the Great Moon Palace."

"The inheritance of the Great Moon Palace is secretive. It is said that within the Great Moon Palace's core Dao grounds, there is a Great Moon Lake Grotto-Heaven Blessed Land, where one can cultivate a thousand li in a single day."

"What True Lord Moon Worship thought of all his life was actually a legendary figure of the Great Moon Palace."

Most of these books recorded idle talk and trivial matters, as well as some common knowledge and sights of the cultivation world.

Among them were also quite a few rumors and slanders about influential figures. In particular, the old love affairs of True Lord Moon Worship made for a relish-filled read for Su Yu. Unfortunately, there was no sequel.

For half a month in a row, whenever Su Yu had free time, he would come to the Archive Pavilion and stay for a while.

On this day, he saw an old and tattered classic.

"Hm, Crocodile Demon's 108 Forms Body Refining Technique?" Looking at the records on this tattered classic, Su Yu's heart stirred slightly.

In the game, immortal cultivation techniques were the highest-grade and most important foundation for immortal cultivators.

But aside from immortal cultivation techniques, body refining also could not be underestimated.

Because the end point of body refining was the ancient gods. For example, in the era of the Ancient Witch Clan, they dominated an era with the strength of their fleshly bodies, and no one could stand against them.

Perhaps body refining methods were not as good as immortal cultivation, but in the end, whether body refining or immortal cultivation was stronger or weaker was very hard to say.

Moreover, even if some immortal cultivators looked down on body refining techniques, in reality, many immortal cultivators secretly cultivated body refining techniques on the side.

Because compared to the tyranny of their magic power, an immortal cultivator's fleshly body was a weakness.

There were many benefits to cultivating a body refining technique on the side.

The game character Su Yu had played before had also cultivated a body refining technique on the side.

Su Yu carefully looked at the "Crocodile Demon's 108 Forms Body Refining Technique" in his hands. Only after reading it did he understand why this body refining technique had been buried in dust in the Archive Pavilion.

This body refining technique was not simple. It originated from an ancient Giant Crocodile Great Demon.

The body refining technique it created could only be cultivated to entry by using the bloodline of that great demon's own race as the source.

Nowadays, in Jiang City's cultivation territory, such Crocodile Demon bloodlines had long since ceased to exist.

Naturally, this body refining technique was crippled.

And the body refining technique in Su Yu's hands had the first eighteen forms.

"Hehe, Little Yu found this body refining technique? Tempted?" An aged voice came from behind him. "A pity. In the early years, we tried many times, and even paid a great price to obtain the essence blood of a Crocodile Demon to try cultivating it."

"But in the end, none of us succeeded. This body refining technique isn't only possessed by our Su Family. Other cultivation forces have it too."

"It's just that after all these years, I've never heard of anyone successfully cultivating it."

"The bloodline of the Crocodile Demon Race has probably gone extinct long ago."

Su Yu turned back. It turned out to be the clan elder, Fifth Elder Su Bin, an elder whose temples were slightly white and whose cultivation had already reached the Seventh Layer of Qi Refining.

It was said that this Scripture Pavilion had been built solely through Fifth Elder Su Bin's efforts. Most of the classics here had been gathered back by him at tremendous expenditure of effort, all to broaden the horizons and knowledge of the clan's younger generation.

"Fifth Grandfather." Therefore, Su Yu respectfully bowed, very respectful toward this elder.

As he spoke, Su Yu hesitated and said, "I wonder if I can borrow this body refining technique for a period of time?"

Su Bin smiled and said, "You can, but if you try cultivating it and fail, then don't waste any more effort on it. The most important thing is still the cultivation of your own technique."

"Many thanks, Fifth Grandfather," Su Yu said happily.

After seeing this body refining technique, Su Yu no longer had the mind to look at any other classics. He immediately took that "Crocodile Demon's 108 Forms Body Refining Technique" and left.

After returning to his own courtyard, Su Yu carefully studied this body refining technique.

Although he did not have the so-called Crocodile Demon bloodline to lay the foundation, he still silently began cultivating according to the eighteen body refining forms recorded in the body refining technique.

Ten days passed in a row.

Every day, aside from cultivating the Wutong Greenwood Art and spells step by step, Su Yu used all his extra time to cultivate the Crocodile Demon Body Refining Art.

That day, accompanied by a rumble from his body, Su Yu only felt the blood and qi throughout his body boil like molten lava, incomparably scorching.

His skin, flesh, blood, and bones were all transforming. Faintly, the surging blood and qi inside him gathered into the true body of a giant crocodile, its whole body coiled with blood-colored blood and qi, like a demon. The moment the giant crocodile took shape, it raised its head to the sky and let out a roar.

"Roar!"

Su Yu was greatly startled. Lines of blood markings appeared on the surface of his skin, and an immense, abundant strength was born within him, giving him the illusion that he could split mountains and crack stones with one punch.
