Chronicles of Ascension: The Path to Immortality

Zhang Xuan returned to his residence excitedly.

He closed the door and took out the jade slip of "Tian Gang Body Refining Gong".

He took out the five five-element spiritual objects one by one, unable to hide his excitement.

"I didn't expect to collect all the spiritual objects needed for Tian Gang Body Refining Gong in one go."

He first took out the Nine Thunder Wood and soaked it in water according to the instructions of the first level of the exercise.

As soon as the Nine Thunder Wood entered the water, a lightning thread swam out of the black Nine Thunder Wood.

"Is this the Nine Heavens Thunder Silk?!"

The Nine Thunder Wood lost the parasitism of the Nine Heavens Thunder Silk and turned into a pile of waste.

This dazzling Nine Heavens Thunder Silk swam in the water like a swimming fish.

The Nine Heavens Thunder is a severe punishment from the heavenly tribulation. Not to mention that he is only at the first level of Qi Refining, even a Jindan strongman dare not take it head-on.

The Nine Heavens Thunder Silk was stripped from the Nine Heavens Thunder, and its power is not small.

However, after a long period of nourishment by the Nine Thunder Wood, the Nine Heavens Thunder Silk has become much milder.

It is a spiritual object necessary for various body-tempering techniques.

Zhang Xuan took a deep breath and put his hand into the water.

The Nine Heavens Thunder Silk found a living thing, swam over with a "swoosh", and instantly penetrated his arm into his body.

The Nine Heavens Thunder Silk rushed left and right in his body like a sharp knife.

Zhang Xuan endured the severe pain and operated the first level of the "Tian Gang Body Refining Technique".

Concentrating his spirit and blood, the spirit urged the Nine Heavens Thunder Silk to operate the first small Zhoutian in his body.

A small Zhoutian requires the Nine Heavens Thunder Silk to open 40 acupoints in the body and penetrate a body meridian, which is also called the Thunder Meridian.

Every time the Nine Heavens Thunder Silk opened an acupoint in his body, he screamed in pain.

Opening an acupoint is as painful as cutting flesh.

Re-penetrating a new body meridian requires moving tendons and bones, and the pain the body endures can be imagined.

It lasted for three days, and he almost turned into a bloody man.

Except for the weak breathing that proved that he was still alive, even he thought he was dead.

However, he still managed to hold on.

All 40 acupoints of the first small cycle were opened.

The first body vein, the thunder vein, was formed in his body.

After the thunder vein was formed, it absorbed the thin spiritual energy around it and slowly repaired its own damage.

After half a day, his hands and feet were finally able to move.

However, at this time, he was short of both qi and blood, and he was in great need of tonic.

He struggled to take the spoils he got from Gao Qiang - a piece of monster meat.

He didn't roast it, but ate it raw.

This piece of monster meat weighed 5 kilograms in total, and he actually swallowed it all in one breath.

"This piece of meat should be the body-refining monster meat that Gao Qiang prepared for me."

At this time, Zhang Xuan felt a stream of warm energy from his abdomen gathering to 40 acupoints, and 40 acupoints ran through the entire thunder vein.

The thunder vein exuded vitality and further repaired the damage caused by the nine-day thunder silk.

After a while, he felt another wave of hunger in his stomach.

For a cultivator at the first level of Qi Refining, even a pound of body-refining monster meat would be bloating.

But after using the Nine Heavens Thunder Silk to open the Qi points and thunder veins, he actually felt less than half full.

He directly took out a monster he had hunted last time from his storage bag.

He directly cut off a piece of monster meat and roasted it with black spirit charcoal.

Through roasting, the monster meat became more delicious, and the residual poison left by the bloodthirsty bats was also dissolved.

He roasted and ate while swallowing 20 pounds of monster meat in one breath, and finally felt better.

At this time, his 40 Qi points contained abundant Qi and blood power, and this newly formed body vein was also generating endless vitality and energy.

At this time, every time his thunder veins ran a small cycle, the vitality power would be increased by one point and stored in the 40 Qi points.

But the consumption was really not small, and each small cycle was based on at least 10 pounds of body-refining monster meat.

This is just one body meridian, he still has four body meridians to penetrate.

When 200 air points are dug out and five body meridians are penetrated, you can try to run five small cycles at the same time to form a large cycle.

Once the large cycle is completed, the first level of body refining will be stable.

However, the consumption must be more than five times.

For the second five-element spiritual object, he plans to use purple mysterious ice.

The body meridian penetrated by purple mysterious ice is also called ice meridian, which can turn the flesh into solid ice instantly, greatly improving his defense.

When penetrating the second body meridian, it is much better than penetrating the first body meridian.

Every time he drills an air point, he will run the thunder meridian to make up for the damage to his body, and then eat some monster meat to replenish energy.

It took 6 days, and the ice meridian was finally penetrated.

When he ran the ice meridian for a small cycle, a layer of solid ice formed on the surface of his body.

With this layer of solid ice protecting his body, even a first-level inferior spiritual knife can't seriously injure him.

Next, he began to penetrate the third body meridian-stone meridian.

The stone veins are mainly used to give strength.

At that time, when fighting with the first-stage middle-stage sea monkey, Gao Qiang's muscles suddenly bulged, relying on the stone veins.

With a deeper understanding of the Tiangang Body Refining Technique, Zhang Xuan judged that although Gao Qiang also practiced the Tiangang Body Refining Technique, he probably only successfully penetrated one stone vein.

The other four veins were not penetrated.

Although there is no requirement for spiritual roots to practice the Tiangang Body Refining Technique, it is necessary to use spiritual energy of corresponding attributes to activate the Qi points of the Zhouqi.

As a mixed spiritual root of the five elements, he has an advantage.

It can correspond to the body veins of different attributes and stimulate the spiritual energy of different attributes.

If there is a matching spiritual root, it will certainly be twice the result with half the effort to practice.

If there is no matching spiritual root, it must be extremely difficult to open the acupoints and penetrate the body meridians.

Fortunately, Zhang Xuan accidentally encountered a body refining technique that matched his spiritual root so well.

It took another 5 days, and the stone veins were finally penetrated.

When he ran a small cycle, the 40 acupoints contained huge power.

After consuming some of the power of the acupoints, he stretched out his hand and slapped it, and he actually broke the stone table in the house.

"It's really a good technique!" Zhang Xuan couldn't help but exclaimed.

There are still two spiritual objects left-the Blood-Crying Pearl and the Sunflower Stone.

The body meridian opened by the Blood-Crying Pearl is the blood meridian, which is used to refine the skin.

The body meridian penetrated by the Sunflower Stone is the fire meridian, which is used to refine the bones.

It took him another 8 days to finally successfully penetrate the remaining two body meridians.

After running the blood and fire meridians for a small cycle, his body became more solid.

At this point, it took nearly 20 days to open up 200 acupoints, and finally all 5 body meridians were penetrated.

As long as the Great Circulation is successfully run, the first level of Tiangang Body Refining Gong can be completed.

Zhang Xuan even suspected that he was a genius in body refining.

"I don't think I really have a unique understanding and talent in body refining, do I?" He said to himself with a happy face.

In fact, the reason why he successfully penetrated five body meridians in such a short time was not only because of his innate mixed spiritual roots.

More importantly, the unlimited supply of body refining monster meat.

In these 20 days, he ate an astonishing 600 kilograms of monster meat, and ate half of the monster meat.

If he knew that one kilogram of body refining monster meat cost 5 spirit stones, and that he consumed resources equivalent to 3,000 spirit stones to open up 5 body meridians, he might not think of himself as a genius in body cultivation.

Even for the core members of the inner ring of Zhangjiaji, the body refining monster meat could not be supplied as freely as he did.

Soon, Zhang Xuan himself discovered that he was not a genius in body refining.

Because he couldn't run five small Zhoutian body meridians at the same time, and it was even difficult to run two small Zhoutian body meridians at the same time.

Every time he ran multiple body meridians, there would be a conflict between the Qi points, resulting in failure.

After seven or eight days, there was still no progress.

"Haste makes waste. You still have to polish it well and get familiar with the running rules of each Qi point and body meridian before you can make further progress."

In the next few days, he ran the small Zhoutian of each body meridian individually.

Except for the two body meridians for training skin and bones, the other three body meridians can store the energy obtained from running the small Zhoutian in the Qi points.

He has consumed another 300 kilograms of body training monster meat, and his thunder veins, ice veins, and stone veins have been filled with energy.

At this time, Zhang Xuan stopped.
