"Hello everyone, I am Chen Mu, a talisman master. I believe you have all heard of me."
Chen Mu sat down in the chair in the center of the hall and carefully observed the group of young men and women.
There were five men and five women among them, all dressed in exquisite animal skin clothing. Their eyes were bright and lively, and they would occasionally glance up at Chen Mu. Most of them had a look of admiration in their eyes.
Chen Mu is a low-key person, and even in Chen Village, very few people usually see him, so he is very mysterious in the eyes of the villagers.
Through word of mouth among the villagers, his image in the village became more like that of a guardian deity or a supreme elder.
"I don't care why you joined my experiment, but once you're in, you're mine and must obey my orders 100%. Do you all understand?"
"Clear!"
"Know!"
Ten young men and women responded one after another.
"Alright, Chen Rufeng, come with me into the Demonic Pattern room first."
The rest of you stay outside and are not allowed to leave without my orders.
"Yes!"
After Chen Mu finished speaking, he led Chen Rufeng into the Demonic Pattern room first.
The Demonic Pattern room was decorated with the help of Landuo. It contained several reclining chairs and many exquisite and detailed instruments.
Most of the parts for these instruments were actually Landuo.
In terms of handicrafts, Landuo is often more skillful than Chen Mu. Chen Mu only needs to assemble the parts, saving a lot of effort.
"Take off all your clothes and lie down on the chair."
It was very common for Wilderness to be naked, and Chen Rufeng didn't find it strange. Without saying a word, he took off his clothes and lay down on the chair.
Chen Mu activated ' Fate Vision ' and carefully analyzed Chen Rufeng's physical structure.
Long ago, Chen Mu had been thinking about how to combine rune technology with human anatomy.
The ancient technique of Body-Possessing Demon Rune is a product of this idea.
The earliest origins of Demonic Pattern can be traced back to ancient times when humans were still very primitive. They accidentally discovered that some symbols contained magical power, so they tattooed these symbols on their bodies. Through the refinement of generations, it evolved into the Demonic Pattern technology we know today.
However, in modern times, the Demonic Pattern technology has become increasingly obsolete and is used by fewer and fewer people.
Internally speaking, the current martial arts cultivation methods are diverse, with some specifically designed to refine the body and enhance physical strength. While Demonic Pattern can also strengthen the body, they often only provide fixed bonuses and cannot bring about fundamental growth.
From an external perspective, armor, magical artifacts, Rune Artifacts, and so on are all more convenient and powerful than Demonic Pattern, and their enhancement to a person's strength is more direct.
Therefore, the Demonic Pattern that have survived to this day are often some rather obscure secret techniques, such as the ' Spirit-Locking Clasp ' used by assassins.
The original Demonic Pattern technology was too outdated and was not Chen Mu's goal.
His goal is to improve the Demonic Pattern technique, combining runes with the physical body to create a new Demonic Pattern Demonic Pattern path, which he currently names ' Runic Body '.
The biggest difference between Demonic Pattern and Runic Body is that Demonic Pattern are only engraved on the surface of the body and only provide some auxiliary benefits to the internal organs.
The Runic Body, on the other hand, acts directly on the human body. The body's organs, meridians, and acupoints are all affected by the runes and gradually acquire the various powers contained within them.
In the future, the power of runes may even extend to the cells, allowing every cell in the body to unleash the power of the runes.
At that time, it would be perfectly acceptable to call such Runic Body the carriers of the Dao.
However, at present, reaching that stage is still a long way off.
The spirit of science is to first have a hypothesis, then verify the hypothesis, and finally put it into practice to draw conclusions.
Back in the Flame Blessing Tribe, Chen Mu used runes to help Gu Zi'an modify the meridian nodes of his body; this was actually an experiment in the Runic Body.
With that experience, and after reviewing the ' Five Elements Body Tempering Technique ' over the past two days, Chen Mu finally created his first Runic Body pattern, which he now calls the ' Five Elements Pattern Runic Body '.
" Chen Rufeng, I'm going to start writing. If you have any problems, let me know and I can adjust them."
"Okay, I understand."
Chen Rufeng looked somewhat nervous, but his eyes were firm, clearly indicating that he had made up his mind.
Chen Mu observed this and nodded inwardly.
During that year, Chen Village expanded too quickly. Although things seemed harmonious on the surface, there were undercurrents surging beneath the surface.
As the core Lineage of Chen Village, the Chen Clan clan receives more resources, but they also bear more responsibilities and challenges.
However, it seems that the younger generation in Chen Village is performing very well, which makes him very gratified.
The reason he chose to let Chen Rufeng be the first to test the Five Elements Pattern was that only the Chen Clan clan members practiced the complete version of the Five Elements Body Tempering Art, while the people of other affiliated tribes practiced the simplified version of the Five Elements Body Tempering Art.
The simplified version of the Five Elements Body Tempering Art is not much different from the complete version before reaching the Qi Nourishing Realm, but its potential will be much lower after reaching the Qi Nourishing Realm.
This was a means for the Chen Clan to maintain their rule. After all, the law cannot be passed on lightly, and no one wants their subordinates to one day rise above them.
The Five Elements Pattern that Chen Mu is currently experimenting with are closely related to the Five Elements Body Tempering Art, which is why he first sought out Chen Rufeng had cultivated the complete version of the technique, to conduct the experiment. This would be more beneficial to his research.
The pale red pen tip began to wander across Chen Rufeng's body, starting from his head and then spreading to his chest, buttocks, and legs.
The human body has five internal organs: liver, heart, spleen, lungs, and kidneys.
These five internal organs each correspond to one of the five elements.
The heart belongs to fire, the liver to wood, the spleen to earth, the kidneys to water, and the lungs to metal.
The foundation of the Five Elements Pattern is to use the Five Elements Runes to nourish the five internal organs, and then distribute the power of the runes throughout the body through the five internal organs, thus creating a more perfect body.
Chen Mu wielded his talisman brush, the strokes flowing smoothly and quickly completing the Five Elements Pattern pattern.
This is because he had practiced extensively beforehand, since this was a tattoo of the Five Elements Pattern on True Person, which he took very seriously.
"Condense!"
Chen Mu formed hand seals, drawing upon the Spiritual Power of heaven and Five Elements Pattern and resonating with the Five Elements Pattern to activate them.
"Ugh...!"
Chen Rufeng groaned, cold sweat pouring down his forehead, his expression one of extreme pain.
The Five Elements Pattern on his body lit up with five colors: green, white, black, red, and yellow. After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the light emitted by the Five Elements Pattern stopped.
" Chen Rufeng, let me see you use the Five Elements Body Tempering Art."
Although the Five Elements Pattern on Chen Rufeng's body had taken shape, they were not what Chen Mu had expected, and he had a bad feeling.
"Good!"
Chen Rufeng sat up cross-legged and began to practice the Five Elements Body Tempering Art.
"Ouch... my veins hurt so much!"
He gasped, opened his eyes, and stared nervously at Chen Mu.
" Master Mu, it seems I can no longer practice the Five Elements Body Tempering Art Five Elements Body Tempering Art Technique. Whenever I try to circulate it, my whole body aches as if I'm being pricked by needles."
Chen Mu carefully examined the Five Elements Pattern on Chen Rufeng's body, thought for a while, and then spoke up to comfort him.
"It should just be a slight side effect. You go and rest first, I'll observe for a day or two."
Chen Mu called Landuo and asked Landuo to take Chen Rufeng to rest.
Chen Rufeng looked very uneasy, but he was powerless to change anything and could only cooperate with Chen Mu's experiment.
Chen Mu went to the hall and chose another boy to continue the Five Elements Pattern experiment.
"May I have your name?"
" Han He."
Come in!
