A Biography of the Liu Family in Peach Blossom Mountain

Chapter 14: Cultivating the Primordial Origin Body Refining Technique

During dinner, when Liu Zhangxu showed his family the first fireball talisman he had made, his parents and aunt were all happy for him, especially his mother Lin Yulian, who was overjoyed.

After dinner, Liu Zhangxu returned to his small courtyard and carefully studied the Primordial Origin Body Refining Technique in his cultivation room.

After reading this technique several times, Liu Zhangxu discovered that this Body Refining technique, as Elder Liu had said, was easy to learn but difficult to master.

This technique is divided into three levels. The first level is equivalent to the initial stage of Qi Refining, and when one breaks through to this level, they will possess the strength of a thousand jin. When one reaches the third level of perfection, they can possess a strength of nine thousand jin, which is comparable to the strength of a Qi Refining expert at the Great Perfection stage.

Unfortunately, the Liu family does not have any techniques beyond the third level. Otherwise, this technique would be at least of Profound Rank Low Grade.

Ordinary Qi Refining techniques rely on absorbing and refining spiritual energy, spirit medicine, spirit pills, and other spiritual objects. They circulate through the meridians of the body and eventually condense and refine in the dantian, forming Qi energy. When the Qi energy condenses and strengthens to a certain degree and transforms into liquid energy, the cultivator has reached the Foundation Building stage.

Therefore, although ordinary Qi Refining techniques can nourish the physical body and bones, the effect is only average because the main focus is on refining the dantian energy.

On the other hand, this Body Refining technique is the opposite. It nourishes and strengthens the bones and muscles throughout the body by absorbing and refining spiritual energy, spirit medicine, and other natural treasures. It enhances physical strength and power.

As a result, after cultivating this technique, the consumption of spiritual energy, spirit rice, spirit medicine, demonic beast meat, and other cultivation resources will increase exponentially.

Just like Liu Shijie, the third uncle, and Liu Zhangshun, the fifth brother, who have both cultivated this technique, their appetites are several times that of ordinary people, and they consume much more cultivation resources than ordinary cultivators, which has made them both poor.

And if one wants to improve the effectiveness and progress of this technique, even more cultivation resources will be required.

This technique also records several medicinal recipes for Body Refining. Currently, there are two types suitable for Liu Zhangxu.

The first type is a medicinal soup called the Ice Fire Body Tempering Soup. This soup is made from three types of spirit medicine: Bone Tempering Grass, Blood Red Flower, and Ice Jade Fruit. All three of these spirit medicines are Rank One Spirit Medicines. Although they are available in the clan's treasury, each batch of soup requires 30 family contribution points, which is equivalent to 30 low-grade spirit stones.

The second type is the Body Tempering Pill. These pills are also not cheap, as each pill requires 20 family contribution points.

Of course, this Body Refining technique also has many benefits.

Firstly, this technique has no side effects and can be practiced in conjunction with ordinary Qi Refining techniques. They can mutually promote each other and help break through bottlenecks. Many other Body Refining techniques, such as the Hundred Poisons Body Refining Technique, can easily damage the physical body if practiced improperly, leading to irreversible consequences.

Secondly, it greatly enhances combat power and survival ability. Physical cultivators often have the ability to fight opponents of higher cultivation levels, and their strong physical bodies can withstand more powerful attacks and recover faster from injuries.

Thirdly, a strong physical body can lay a solid foundation for reaching the next realm. The higher the cultivation level, the more important the physical body becomes. Many powerful cultivators cultivate both the physical body and the cultivation techniques.

After memorizing and mastering this technique, Liu Zhangxu began to cultivate according to the methods recorded in the Primordial Origin Body Refining Technique.

As Liu Zhangxu continuously circulated the technique, red, green, and blue spiritual energy began to appear in the surrounding air, quickly entering his body with each breath.

As the speed of the technique increased, the red, green, and blue spiritual energy gathered and condensed, eventually forming a huge ball of spiritual energy that enveloped Liu Zhangxu.

After an hour, Liu Zhangxu felt a refreshing sensation throughout his muscles and bones, and both the strength and toughness of his physical body had slightly improved.

However, he couldn't bear the hunger in his stomach any longer. He took out a large piece of snake meat from his storage bag and roasted it. When the meat was cooked, he ate it while it was still hot. The large piece of snake meat quickly disappeared.

Liu Zhangxu couldn't help but smile bitterly to himself. He had become a big eater as well.

But overall, Liu Zhangxu was very satisfied with this Body Refining technique!

After finishing the roasted meat, Liu Zhangxu began to practice the accompanying martial technique of the Primordial Origin Body Refining Technique, the Primordial Origin Splitting Palm. This palm technique could fully unleash the power of the Primordial Origin Body Refining Technique.

He extended his palm three feet away and struck the nearby oak stone. A clear palm print appeared on the oak stone. This was just the beginning for Liu Zhangxu, and as his cultivation progressed, the power would become stronger.

By now, it was already midnight. After practicing the Body Refining technique, Liu Zhangxu felt that time was not enough. He quickly began to cultivate the Foundation Building Technique, as cultivation level was the foundation.
