The day after returning to Mine, Li Yuan went deep into Mine Cave.
Fiend Gathering Bowl disappeared after becoming permanent, but Fiend Qi seeping out from the cracks in the rock formations deep within Mine Cave is still there.
The concentration is not high, not as good as Fiend Essence Pill, but it is better than last.
Li Yuan sat cross-legged at the end of the secluded branch road and took two Fiend Essence Pill first.
When Fiend Qi enters the body, Fiend Qi Body Tempering's Permanent Affix responds on its own, pulling the cold erosion feeling into the space between fascia and bones, washing away repeatedly.
After the medicine is almost fully digested, Li Yuan switches to Nurturing Origin Technique.
Qi and Blood emerges from the Blood-Qi Sea and runs along the route Cultivation Method.
After completing the first pose, Li Yuan noticed something different.
When Fiend Qi Body Tempering just ends, the muscles are in a special state. After being repeatedly washed by Fiend Qi, the fascia and muscle fibers will temporarily become soft, like dough that has been kneaded once, and are more elastic than usual.
This state usually lasts less than half an hour and then subsides, with the muscles tightening again.
But when running Nurturing Origin Technique during this window period, the effect is different from usual.
When Qi and Blood walked to the muscles that had just been tempered, the penetration speed was obviously faster. Normally, Qi and Blood needs to be squeezed in slowly when it is injected into the muscles. Now the soft muscle fibers seem to have opened the channels in advance. Qi and Blood can seep in as soon as it reaches it without any additional force.
After completing the five poses, Qi and Blood's efficiency in covering the whole body was nearly 30% higher than usual.
Li Yuan opened his eyes and closed them again.
He didn't waste this window period and immediately started the second time.
The second pass is faster than the first pass.
The soft state of the muscles after Fiend Qi is slowly fading, but the Qi and Blood perfusion of Nurturing Origin Technique in turn delays this fading process - the warm conditioning of Qi and Blood allows the muscle fibers to maintain a certain degree of flexibility, and the two cooperate with each other.
After walking for the third time, the window period really ends and the muscles become tight again.
But the effect of three times is worth the usual five times.
Over the next few days, Li Yuan settled into a set rhythm.
Do Mine Cave every day, first take Fiend Essence Pill to temper the body, and after tempering, take advantage of the window period when the muscles are soft to run Nurturing Origin Technique intensively, and then switch back to normal practice after the window period.
Nurturing Origin Technique's progress began to skyrocket.
The bottlenecks that have been accumulated for a long time in the Major Accomplishment stage are being worn away bit by bit under this dual blessing.
On the night of the fourth day.
Li Yuan sat cross-legged deep in the Mine Cave branch, running Nurturing Origin Technique for the seventh time.
Qi and Blood followed the route of the five postures to the final Origin Return Form. He has gone through this step countless times. Qi and Blood merged from the limbs Backflow into the Blood-Qi Sea, and the cycle started again and again.
But this time, after Origin Return Form finished walking, Qi and Blood did not stop.
It continues to work in the body.
It's not Li Yuan who is guiding, it's Qi and Blood who is walking.
Qi Absorption, Yun Yuan, Hua Yuan, Origin Circulation, Origin Return - the five-style route has been walked from beginning to end. Cultivation Method does not need to drive it. Qi and Blood itself has memorized this route.
Like a river that has cut through all the dams and flowed on its own.
Li Yuan did not interfere and allowed Qi and Blood to run on its own.
After the second pass, the third pass begins immediately. The speed of Qi and blood is not fast, but it is extremely even. Every inch of muscle, every bone, and every meridian is evenly watered.
A layer of warmth spreads across the body from the inside out. It is not the burning feeling during practice, but a warmth that goes deep into the bone marrow.
It's like the whole body is soaked in warm water, and all the tight places are slowly relaxing.
Li Yuan slowly stopped the exercise and opened his eyes.
[Cultivation Method: Nurturing Origin Technique-Perfection(3200/3200)]
Perfection.
Li Yuan Raise your hand, make a fist, release it, and make a fist again.
The feeling is different from Major Accomplishment.
The change during Major Accomplishment is "more precise control" - the force is more accurate and the fingers are distributed more evenly.
Perfection means "no need to control".
Qi and Blood operates on its own, and the body itself knows how to distribute force. When making a fist, there is no need for the brain to coordinate how much force each finger should use. The muscles instinctively give the optimal solution.
Li Yuan stood up and walked a few steps inside Mine Tunnel.
The steps are more stable than before, the center of gravity is evenly distributed when the soles of the feet land, and there is almost no unnecessary sound when stepping on the gravel.
Nurturing Origin Technique Perfection.
The permanent condition of Nurturing Origin Technique - Cultivation Method Perfection plus Qi-Blood Fullness state accumulated practice for twenty-four hours.
Cultivation Method Perfection, just achieved.
Li Yuan was not in a hurry, unloaded Soul-Illuminating Mirror, equipped Nurturing Origin Technique, and continued to practice deep in Mine Cave.
In the next two days, he hardly showed Mine Cave.
What I ate was the Monster Meat in the storage bag, which was baked in the Mine Tunnel with Fire Control Art. Occasionally, I would go out for a walk during my training breaks, check in with Steward Liu, confirm that nothing happened to Mine, and then go back in.
Nurturing Origin Technique operates in the Perfection state, and Qi and Blood circulates on its own, maintaining fullness.
In the middle of the night the next day, Panel surfaced.
[Qi-Blood Self-Generation (white) permanent conditions have been met]
[Is it permanent?]
Yes.
[Permanent success]
[Qi-Blood Self-Generation (white) has become Permanent Affix]
[Equipment has been consumed]
Nurturing Origin Technique's book turned into a warm white light in the storage bag and disappeared into Li Yuan's body.
Li Yuan closed his eyes and felt it for a moment.
In the past, Qi and Blood needed to be recovered by eating, resting or recovering after consumption.
Now, even if nothing is done, Qi and Blood is generating itself extremely slowly.
It's not fast, but it never stops.
Equipment Slot has a vacant position.
Li Yuan reinstalled Soul-Illuminating Mirror.
Three Equipment Slot: Soul-Illuminating Mirror, Origin Condensation Art, Mid-Grade Spirit Stone.
Nurturing Origin Technique is consumed, but Qi-Blood Self-Generation has been made permanent and the effect is not affected.
A few days later, Steward Liu brought news from Trading Fair.
"The day after tomorrow, the same place."
Li Yuan made a list of the things that needed to be purchased that day.
The professional novel website Cola Novels provides the most comfortable reading experience.
Demon Beast Blood, there are still five kinds left.
Body Tempering liquid medicine requires three different sets of formulas.
Talisman Making material, daily supplement.
Early the morning after tomorrow, Li Yuan left Mine and walked towards Stone Hollow at Trading Fair.
After turning over the broken Stone Slope road, you can see from a distance that the scale this time is different from the previous two times.
There are nearly twice as many people in Stone Hollow than last time.
Rogue Cultivator is still the same Rogue Cultivator, but the extra one is Traveling Merchant. At least five or six groups of Traveling Merchant teams are scattered throughout the venue, each spreading rough cloth to display their goods. Short-Legged Beast is tied to the side of Stone Hollow, carrying large and small bags, and some are still unloading.
Li Yuan walked into the venue and walked around the edge.
The goods are indeed much richer than before. There are more types of Medicinal Pill, the grade of the ore is also higher, and there are several stalls with things I have never seen before, which is exactly the Body Tempering liquid I need.
Li Yuan stopped in front of a Traveling Merchant stall.
There are three different porcelain jars on the stall, three of each. The mouths of the porcelain jars are sealed with wax. Next to each jar is a wooden sign with the name of the recipe and the price.
"Iron Bone Liquid, Mystic Armor Decoction, Crimson Marrow Paste." Li Yuan read the words on the wooden sign.
The stall owner is a fat man in his early forties with a smile on his face.
"Three of them are the Body Tempering medicinal solution formula that is currently on the market. It takes about two hours to soak once. After soaking, the muscles and bones can be strengthened to a certain extent."
"How much is a set?"
"Iron Bone Liquid is four yuan, Mystic Armor Decoction is three yuan, and Crimson Marrow Paste is five yuan. It's cheaper to give you three sets together, twenty-eight yuan."
Li Yuan didn't make a counteroffer.
"I want them all."
Spirit Stone After paying, the nine porcelain altars were put into storage bags.
Next up is Demon Beast blood.
Li Yuan asked each stall at the venue. Most of the stalls did not have such a thing. Demon Beast blood was of little use to Rogue Cultivator, and few people kept it specially.
But it will be different if there are more Traveling Merchant.
A Traveling Merchant stall selling groceries found two bottles of blood, Swamp Toad Beast and Stone-Armor Turtle. Another Traveling Merchant selling Talisman Making materials There are three types of blood there - Red-Tailed Fire Marten, Green-Maned Wind Wolf and Spine-Tailed Lizard blood. They are all auxiliary materials that are occasionally used during Talisman Making. The quantities are not large, and there is only a small bottle of each type.
Five kinds, plus the previous four, there are exactly nine kinds.
Li Yuan put away all the blood bottles and added a batch of Green-Veined Paper and Spirit Ink.
Exit Stone Hollow, Li Yuan and walk along the broken Stone Slope road towards Mine.
After returning to the low house, Li Yuan closed the door and took out all the contents of the storage bag.
Nine small porcelain bottles are lined up on the table.
Grey Iguana, Iron-Spine Hyena, Horned Lizard, Single-Horned Snake Badger--these four were collected while stationed at the He Family.
Swamp Toad Beast, Stone-Armor Turtle, Red-Tailed Fire Marten, Green-Maned Wind Wolf, Spine-Tailed Lizard--these five types were bought on Trading Fair today.
Nine kinds of blood from Low-grade First-Order and above Demon Beast.
Li Yuan took out a piece of Vajra Talisman from the storage bag and placed it on the table.
As soon as he realized it, he removed Soul-Illuminating Mirror and equipped Vajra Talisman.
[Equipment successful]
[Get Affix: Iron Membrane Protection (white)]
[Permanent conditions: Swallow the blood of nine different Low-grade First-Order and above Demon Beast (0/9)]
Li Yuan Uncork the first porcelain bottle.
Grey Iguana's blood is cold and has an earthy smell.
He raised his head and took a sip.
The moment the blood entered the throat, a stream of cold liquid slid down the esophagus and into the stomach. It was not an ordinary cold, but the feeling of the remaining demon power in the blood of the demon beast spreading on the stomach wall, with a slight sting.
[Permanent progress:1/9]
The second bottle of Iron-Spine Hyena's blood is thick and black, and the temperature is higher than that of lizards. There is a rough and grainy feeling in the mouth, like swallowing a mouthful of hot sand.
[Permanent progress: 2/9]
The third bottle, the fourth bottle, the fifth bottle.
The blood of each type of Demon Beast has a different taste. The blood of Horned Lizard has a metallic taste, the blood of Single-Horned Snake Badger has a sulfur smell, and the blood of Swamp Toad Beast is bitter and astringent.
Li Yuan drank it one mouthful after another without changing his expression.
The last bottle of Spine-Tailed Lizard's blood was picked up by Li Yuan. It was dark green in color, thick in texture, and had a smell between bitter and sour.
Li Yuan tilted his neck to finish drinking, then placed the empty bottle on the table.
All nine kinds of Demon Beast's blood entered the abdomen.
Panel emerged.
[Iron Membrane Protection (white) permanent conditions have been met]
[Is it permanent?]
Yes.
[Permanent success]
[Iron Membrane Protection (white) has become Permanent Affix]
[Equipment has been consumed]
At the same moment, a heavy force penetrated from the surface of the skin inwards.
It's not a change in one place, it's the skin tightening all over the body at the same time.
It's like there is an extra thin film between the skin and muscles. You can't touch or see it, but you can clearly feel its existence. Li Yuan raised his hand and pressed it on his forearm. The feeling of his fingertips was different from before - the elasticity under the skin was stronger, and it rebounded faster after pressing it.
There are also changes in the meridians.
When spiritual power circulates in the meridians, the endurance of the meridians is much stronger than before. In the past, when Cultivation Method was fully activated, the meridians would occasionally feel a slight swelling, which was the ultimate reaction of spiritual power impacting the meridians. Now that feeling of swelling has disappeared, the toughness of the meridians has increased, and the same amount of spiritual power impact has become easier.
Li Yuan stood up, clenched his fists, and then loosened his fists.
Skin Membrane defense plus meridians toughness, double improvement.
Twenty-one Permanent Affix.
Li Yuan gathered the empty bottles on the table together, and then took a look at the three porcelain jars containing Body Tempering liquid medicine in the storage bag.
Iron Bone Liquid, Mystic Armor Decoction, Crimson Marrow Paste.
The permanentization of Iron Wall Body Refining Art requires three different formulas to complete a complete quenching cycle each.
No rush.
Li Yuan put the porcelain altar away and walked out of the low house.
Mine The sky outside has mostly darkened, and there are a few long shadows on the gravel ground. From the mountain col in the distance, there are intermittent Demon Beast roars, just like every night.
