Creating a Cultivation Technique
Dongfang Yueming calmed himself down and began to search carefully, his goal clear— the Skin Tempering method!
Soon, he found a secret manual called "The Flame Sand Skin Tempering Method." Opening it, he read, "This method requires fiery sand ore, supplemented with secret medicine, ground into powder, applied to the entire body, and then using special techniques to stimulate blood and qi, repeatedly tempering the skin. Those who succeed in this practice will have skin as tough as iron, impervious to ordinary swords. However, the power of the fiery sand is domineering and brutal; the cultivation process is extremely painful, and there is a certain chance of damaging the skin's foundation, leading to..."
Dongfang Yueming memorized the cultivation method of the "Flame Sand Skin Tempering Method".
The panel immediately displayed: [Flame Sand Skin Tempering Method (0/2, Entry)].
"Point Allocation!"
[Flame Sand Skin Tempering Method (0/6, Entry)]!
A faint warmth One Flash across the skin's surface, but Dongfang Yueming sensed it carefully and found the effect to be extremely subtle, almost negligible. "It seems that for a body that has already reached its Ultimate Perfection of Body Tempering, these ordinary Skin Tempering are indeed of limited effect. However, fortunately, with my Point Allocation, I don't need to worry about the so-called side effects."
He didn't stop, he kept Point Allocation!
[Flame Sand Skin Tempering Method (0/10, Minor Accomplishment)]!
[Flame Sand Skin Tempering Method (0/20, Major Accomplishment)]!
[Flame Sand Skin Tempering Method (Perfection)]!
The moment the "Flame Sand Skin Tempering Method" reached its Perfection, Dongfang Yueming gained a deeper understanding of this method of tempering the skin with external force. "So the core of this 'Flame Sand Skin Tempering Method ' is to use the intense power of scorching sand to stimulate the closure and strengthening of the skin's pores, thereby increasing its resilience..."
He put down the manual and started searching on the bookshelf again. Soon, a strangely named Skin Tempering method caught his attention—"The Shaking Skin Tempering Method".
"The Shaking Skin Tempering Method?" Dongfang Yueming was a little curious and picked it up to read. The manual began by saying, "All things in heaven and earth have their own laws. Swinging your body, using the vibration of your skin, flesh, tendons and bones, can stimulate your blood and qi, and open up your pores, thereby achieving the effect of tempering your skin..." It also included various strange and wonderful swinging postures with illustrations.
"This is interesting." Dongfang Yueming read it with great interest.
Xiaoyu, who was meditating with her eyes closed beside him, seemed to notice Dongfang Yueming's movements. She glanced at the manual in his hand and couldn't help but remind him, "Young Master, that ' Shaking Skin Tempering Method '... you'd better not look at it. It was created haphazardly by some whimsical martial artist a long time ago. It has no practical value at all. It's said that practicing it causes unbearable itching, and it's very difficult to truly temper the skin."
She paused, then added, "Also, young master, according to our shop's rules, browsing the manuals cannot exceed one hour at a time. Moreover, we close at eight o'clock in the evening, so please be mindful of the time." After saying this, she closed her eyes again and continued cultivating, ignoring Dongfang Yueming.
Dongfang Yueming glanced at her with some surprise, not expecting this seemingly aloof girl to have such a warm heart. He smiled slightly, not taking her words to heart, and continued learning the "Shaking Skin Tempering Method".
Panel display: [Shaking Skin Tempering Method (0/3, Entry)].
"Point Allocation!"
[Shaking Skin Tempering Method (0/9, Entry)]!
A peculiar vibrational force circulated across the skin's surface, as if countless tiny streams of air were massaging the pores.
"Continue!"
[Shaking Skin Tempering Method (0/15, Minor Accomplishment)]!
[Shaking Skin Tempering Method (Perfection)]!
As the "Shaking Skin Tempering Method" reached its Perfection state, a flash of understanding appeared in Dongfang Yueming's eyes. "So that's how it is! This ' Shaking Skin Tempering Method,' though seemingly comical, actually uses a specific vibration frequency to stimulate vitality deep within the skin, promoting metabolism and thus achieving the effect of strengthening the skin membrane!"
"Different paths lead to the same goal... Whether it's the external tempering of the Fiery Sands or the internal stimulation of the Shaking, the essence is to strengthen the skin, enhance its resistance to external damage, and increase its capacity to bear internal energy and blood!" Dongfang Yueming suddenly understood!
He decided to stop limiting himself to a single Skin Tempering method and instead went through all the Skin Tempering methods on the bookshelf! The friction of Iron Sand Palm, the soaking in medicinal baths, the alternating stimulation of ice and fire... all sorts of strange and wonderful Skin Tempering methods collided, merged, and evolved in his mind!
Gradually, a bold and clear idea took shape in his mind!
"Since the essence of Skin Tempering is to strengthen the skin layer, why not directly use higher-level and purer energy for tempering? For example... true qi!"
"Why don't I create a technique that allows me to directly temper the skin with my inner energy?!"
Once the thought arose, it could no longer be suppressed!
With a thought, drawing upon his understanding of the essence of countless Skin Tempering techniques and his own control over power, he began to construct a completely new Skin Tempering method in his mind!
A moment later, a glint One Flash in his eyes!
A brand new cultivation technique had suddenly appeared on the panel!
[True Qi Skin Tempering Method (0/5, Entry)]!
"It really works!" Dongfang Yueming was overjoyed! "Moreover, it only requires 5 Entry points!" He then felt it was only natural, "Body Tempering Realm martial artists don't have true qi in their bodies, so naturally they can't cultivate this method. But I have already condensed extremely high-quality Primordial Yin-Yang True Qi!"
He was about to Point Allocation directly, but then a thought struck him, and he stopped.
"Since it involves Skin Tempering with true qi, why not... try circulating it directly?"
With a thought, Dongfang Yueming instantly transformed the chilling internal Inner Force generated by the [Heaven-Overwhelming Force Condensation Method], which belonged to the Internal Force Realm, into the true energy of the [Primordial Yin-Yang Art]! Then, following the method of the [True Qi Skin Tempering Method] he had created, he guided strands of pure Primordial Yin-Yang True Qi to slowly permeate, nourish, and temper his skin!
Buzz!
Almost the instant the true energy circulated, the [True Qi Skin Tempering Method] on the panel changed!
[True Qi Skin Tempering Method (0/15, Entry)]!
Having only just begun operating, it has already crossed the threshold of being a Entry and reached the Entry level! Moreover, its proficiency is increasing rapidly at a visible speed!
Dongfang Yueming immediately immersed himself in this wondrous state of cultivation, guiding the Primordial Yin-Yang True Qi to temper every inch of his skin again and again.
Time slips away unnoticed.
Xiaoyu, who was cultivating beside her, slowly opened her eyes, finishing a round of cultivation. She subconsciously glanced at Dongfang Yueming, only to find that he was still sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed, exuding a faint and mysterious aura, as if he had fallen into some kind of deep enlightenment.
"Huh? Is he... cultivating?" Xiaoyu's eyes showed a hint of curiosity.
Dongfang Yueming slowly opened his eyes, his gaze flashing with a divine light that One Flash in an instant.
Xiaoyu, who was standing next to her, had just finished her cultivation and glanced at Dongfang Yueming subconsciously, but couldn't help but be slightly taken aback. She clearly felt that Dongfang Yueming's skin seemed to be more crystal clear than before, with a layer of precious light flowing through it, giving people a strange feeling of being indestructible yet as warm and smooth as jade.
Dongfang Yueming paid no attention to Xiaoyu's gaze, but instead focused his thoughts on the control panel.
It was clear that the [True Qi Skin Tempering Method] had already reached the (Perfection) level!
Immediately afterwards, the Flame Sand Skin Tempering Method], the [Shaking Skin Tempering Method True Qi Skin Tempering Method Skin Tempering Technique] that he had just Perfection— were all integrated into the all-encompassing [Extreme Body Tempering Method], like hundreds of rivers flowing into the sea!
