"In another two days, the White Crane Flesh Refinement Method will reach perfection, but..."
Feeling the five forces rampaging through his body, Wei Sheng could not help frowning.
"Combining flesh-refining methods is so much harder than combining skin-refining methods..."
Although skin-refining methods differed, with Bull-Demon Skin Refining and Black-Jade Skin Refining among them, their essence lay in condensing blood and qi, melting them together in one furnace to strengthen the body. They did not conflict.
But flesh-refining methods were different.
The forces they produced each had different abilities, and none answered to another. Some even counteracted one another.
"When I first developed Spirit Ape Force and Mighty Bull Force, I didn't notice anything,
"but with five forces in my body, it's like having five bombs buried inside me. Forget getting stronger-I have to be extremely careful even when fighting someone.
"Otherwise, if I accidentally upset the balance and cause the five forces to clash, I'll be the first to die..."
There was actually a solution to this.
The plodding approach was to grind away at it over time.
Eventually, the five forces could be turned into one.
But that took far too long-at least forty or fifty years of arduous cultivation.
"I'll ask Teacher tomorrow whether there's another way. If nothing else works, I'll have to use Dao Origin points to slowly grind them together."
The next day.
