Nourishing the Body to Extend Life, Grandmaster-Level Cultivation Method

"However, this Inheritance matter has been going on for eight or nine months, and there's still no result. Isn't that a bit strange?"

"Hehe, Brother Chu, you wouldn't know about this."

"Oh? Does Brother Ning have some inside information?"

Wei Zhong poured him a cup of wine and asked.

"Although there are multiple copies of the Inheritance items this time, each copy has two items: one is the Inheritance Key, and the other is a Jade Slip containing a cultivation method called the Blood Body Technique.

This technique is a method for cultivating an Extracorporeal Incarnation. The difficulty of cultivation is so great that it has stopped a large number of cultivators.

It is said that without reaching a certain level, even if you hold the Inheritance Key, there is no possibility of obtaining the Inheritance."

"Tch! I didn't expect there to be such a trick."

Wei Zhong thought of the cultivation method Jade Slip he had buried, wondering if it had been discovered.

At the same time, he also became curious about this technique. He didn't even have time to check the method in order to avoid disaster that day. What kind of strict method is it that can stop so many cultivators?

"Haha, you and I just listen to such rumors for fun. Because of this method, a large number of cultivators have died in Hanzhu City. The Core Formation method is a disaster, not a blessing, for us Qi Refining cultivators."

"Brother Ning, you are right."

The two clinked glasses.

On the way home, Wei Zhong pondered in his heart.

This Blood Sea True Lord's Inheritance really caused a storm in the cultivation world as I expected. My choice to abandon this method was the right one.

It was just whether to retrieve this method in the future that Wei Zhong hesitated about.

As his cultivation deepened and he learned more about the path of cultivation, Wei Zhong increasingly realized the value of the Extracorporeal Incarnation method.

This type of method is no exaggeration to say that it creates another self, which can be said to give a cultivator an extra life.

While thinking, he had already returned to the small courtyard, fed Nine Colors, and cast aside the distracting thoughts in his heart.

Wei Zhong came to the Cultivation Room.

At this time, his cultivation had reached the ninth level of Qi Refining (25%), and a year had not improved his cultivation much.

This was because his Azure Wave Art remained at Proficient (99%) without moving.

At this rate, he would need at least four more years to reach the Completion of Qi Refining. However, he only had two years of lifespan left.

Am I going to drop a level again?

Two years later, Wei Zhong happily emerged from cultivation.

[Name: Wei Zhong]
[Cultivation: Qi Refining Ninth Level (65%)]
[Techniques: Azure Wave Art · Proficient (99%); Nourishing Body Art · Skilled (1%)]
[Lifespan: 137/142]

When his lifespan was about to run out, the Nourishing Body Art finally broke through. It healed some of the injuries in his body, and at the same time, the upper limit of his lifespan also increased by five years.

This was truly an unexpected surprise. At the same time, Wei Zhong felt that the injuries to his body were far from being completely healed. When the Nourishing Body Art broke through again, his lifespan would definitely increase again.

With these five years, his cultivation could be pushed up another step.

Wei Zhong then immersed himself in cultivation again.

To Wei Zhong's surprise, with the breakthrough of the Nourishing Body Art, the Azure Wave Art also broke through to the Grandmaster realm.

Could it be that Qi Refining techniques are also related to physical fitness?

Wei Zhong had cultivated for many years and had never heard of such a thing.

But in the final analysis, it was a good thing that the technique had broken through. In a short period of time, he didn't have to spend spirit stones again. Perhaps he could consider Foundation Establishment within five years?

In the following years, Wei Zhong cultivated while secretly hiding his identity and inquiring about Foundation Establishment.

Foundation Establishment, in ancient times, had three barriers: essence, qi, and spirit. Essence was the physique, qi was spiritual energy, and spirit was the soul. Breaking through all three barriers was Foundation Establishment.

In today's cultivation world, these three barriers have long been separated. Those who break through one barrier are considered to have achieved Foundation Establishment.

At the same time, people also divide Foundation Establishment into Body Cultivator, Spirit Cultivator, and the most mysterious Soul Cultivator.

Spirit Cultivators are the largest type of cultivator in the cultivation world. Some cultivators also practice Body Cultivation to reduce their weaknesses.

As for Soul Cultivation techniques, there are few rumors of them in this world. Only some cultivators have one or two Soul Dao secret techniques in their hands.

What Wei Zhong is currently considering is the path of Spirit Cultivation.

His cultivation is about to reach the Qi Refining completion stage. As long as he finds a Foundation Establishment Pill or one or two Foundation Establishment spiritual objects, he can consider trying to break through to Foundation Establishment.

However, he still needs to be careful. He must be fully prepared to break through to Foundation Establishment. The experience of predecessors shows that failure to break through can lead to a regression in cultivation, or even damage to the foundation.

Wei Zhong doesn't want to affect his path because of this.

Speaking of Foundation Establishment Pills, interestingly, Wei Zhong actually has a medicinal material in his hand, which is an important auxiliary material needed to refine Foundation Establishment Pills.

It seems to have been obtained from those three Spirit Farmers. He doesn't know how the Yan Family Spirit Farmer had this kind of pill. Could it be prepared for his own Foundation Establishment?

Wei Zhong shook his head, this is not important. What is important is that Wei Zhong has this medicinal material, and he has the capital to jointly refine pills with others.

Foundation Establishment Pills are rare in the cultivation world, even in the Azurewood Sect, where many cultivators gather.

The Azurewood Sect's own Foundation Establishment Pills are not enough, and those that fall into the hands of rogue cultivators are even rarer.

However, the pill formula for Foundation Establishment Pills is not expensive in the Azurewood Sect's territory. It can be bought for a few dozen spirit stones.

However, there are very few Pill Masters who can refine this pill. Within the Azurewood Sect, only Pill Masters Qi and Duan can refine it.

Therefore, a method of jointly refining pills has emerged in the Azurewood Sect.

Each cultivator collects the medicinal materials in the pill formula and jointly invites a Pill Master to refine the pills. Finally, the pills are divided according to the contribution.

The main ingredient for Foundation Establishment Pills is a three-hundred-year-old or older Jade Marrow Mushroom. The two important auxiliary materials are two-hundred-year-old or older Thousand Knot Flower and Gold Essence Ginseng. There are also more than thirty other auxiliary materials. The age requirements are not high, and they are all common spiritual medicines that are easy to buy in various shops.

Wei Zhong has a two-hundred-year-old Gold Essence Ginseng in his hand.

With this spiritual herb, he only needed to find two more fellow cultivators who possessed the 'Jade Marrow Mushroom' and the 'Thousand Knot Flower' to fund the Pill Master's pill refinement.

If three pills were successfully refined, Wei Zhong could take one of them to begin his assault on Foundation Establishment.

Wei Zhong concealed his identity and posted a message on the market's bulletin board about jointly refining pills.

Thirty-six Spirit Stones apiece was not expensive for Wei Zhong; it was only the price of two High-Grade Qi Nourishing Pills.

Over the years, in order to advance his cultivation more quickly, Wei Zhong had already replaced all the low and mid-grade Qi Nourishing Pills he used for daily cultivation with High-Grade ones.

"Could you leave an address, Fellow cultivator, so that we can easily notify you when everyone is gathered?"

Wei Zhong was using a disguised identity this time, so naturally, he couldn't reveal his address. Wouldn't that expose his Chu Zhong persona?

"No need. I will come here every three months to check on the progress of the gathering."

After leaving the name Locust Daoist, Wei Zhong left the place.

In the following years, Wei Zhong cultivated while honing his spells and techniques, and he would check on the pill refinement gathering every three months.

To his delight, he found another fellow cultivator who possessed a main ingredient in just half a year.

Now, only the main ingredient, the three-hundred-year-old 'Jade Marrow Mushroom,' was missing.

However, after waiting for three years, he still hadn't received any news about this spiritual herb.
