Chapter 34: The First Refinement of the Rigid Realm
The Force is awakened by the cold.
When you open your eyes, the stars and the moon are in the sky.
The heat of the day is gone, and the cold wind passes through the canyons, and the branches and leaves shake and rattle.
The tree is on the cliff, the person is pillow in the heart of the tree, looking up at the galaxy, and the force suddenly gives birth to a sense of relaxation and freedom.
There is an emotion in my heart that is about to erupt, wanting to turn into a long howl, pierce through this reckless jungle, pierce this majestic night, and merge into the starry sky overhead.
Of course, he didn't really die, and he didn't make any sound or movement, but just let the sudden pride in his heart slowly press and fall silent again.
He pulled down the mask, covering his neck tightly, and put on gloves to block out all the mosquitoes that were becoming more and more rampant, resting his head on the trunk of a tree, looking up at the starry sky, touching the things in his arms, and thinking wildly.
The reason why he made such a sudden decision was indeed a reason for what he saw and heard in the Queshan camp and the Jumen Materia Medica Group, but the biggest reason came from the treasure chest that the old man gave him.
He was stimulated.
Open the treasure chest, and inside is a whole box of books.
And at the top, there is a letter, a letter written many years ago, for him to read now.
"Boy, do you feel like you've been taken into the pit by the old man? More than ten years of hard work have been exchanged for the effect of a matrix injection? I think you now know your own qualifications, matching the first, the worst and inferior cultivation waste materials.
If you put all this on my head and think that I am the pot that taught you your special cultivation method, then you are very wrong. It's a bit cruel, but you're an adult too, and I have to tell you the truth, you were born a waste!
Cultivation talent, IQ, temperament, and even appearance...... There's nothing eye-catching, absolutely none. If you think there is, it's either your delusion, or it's the result of my years of hard work, yes, if you really start to get better, it must be because of me!
Therefore, if you encounter any difficulties caused by your strength and IQ limitations, you need to bear them silently, and you can't dump the blame on me.
Okay, without further ado, I'll give you some useful ......."
The rest of the content is to elaborate on the various advantages that that special cultivation method can bring to him.
Without this letter, it would have been a long time before the Force could have figured it out, and it was even more likely that he would never have discovered certain advantages, which would have been undoubtedly precious to him.
However, after reading this letter, his deepest feeling was that he was depressed and almost bleeding internally.
As for the books in the treasure chest, they were all sorted out by the old man, and the follow-up methods of the special cultivation method he taught him.
It wasn't until I read this letter that the Force knew that what the old man had taught him before was the foundational part, and the main purpose was to rely entirely on himself, without the help of external forces to condense a little bit of the original mystery factor, because the mystery factor does have the property of repulsion with the human body, which requires a long time of water grinding.
When he finally broke through and officially became a first-order cultivator of Black Iron, the effect of this cultivation method was sharply reduced, and the progress of his cultivation was touchingly slow, he had calculated with this efficiency that it would take many years to make another breakthrough, which was also a reason why he felt that he had been cheated by the old man.
But I didn't expect the reason to be so simple.
It's like it's time to go to junior high school after graduating from elementary school, but the textbooks in your hand haven't been updated in time, and it's still a primary school textbook, so it's no wonder that the progress is not slow.
He put the letter and the top book called "The Gang Realm Chapter" in his arms, and the rest were all in the box, studied it, reset the code code that only he could open, and entrusted the treasure chest to others for safekeeping, after all, it was a bit silly to go to the wilderness with such a large treasure chest.
After obtaining the follow-up advanced cultivation method, knowing that he had the true advantage that was different from other cultivators, he couldn't hold back the restlessness in his heart and wanted to try and experience it as soon as possible.
What's more, the old man's words are too damaging and exciting, he wants to justify himself, and wants to prove that he is definitely not as unbearable as the old guy said!
He can't refute talent and other aspects that have become facts, so let's work the mind.
Perseverance, courage, diligence...... He felt that it would not be difficult to prove this, so he didn't want to wait any longer and set off immediately.
......
After about twenty or thirty kilometers of walking north-west out of the camp of Queshan, the Force no longer continued to wander, but circled down in an area.
It took several days, using his special abilities, to mark the situation around ten kilometers one by one.
The simple topography of mountains, rivers and valleys is nothing special, and even appears crude, far less accurate than that drawn by professionals.
What's special is that on this rudimentary topographic map, not only the demon beast divisions in each region are marked, but also their accurate strength level.
In this area, the strongest demon beasts are only at the level of soldiers, which is why he finally chose to settle here.
He left the camp and went deep into the jungle, not to fight endlessly, let alone to seek death, but to find a quiet place to concentrate on sharpening himself.
It's just that his own advantages, including the special cultivation methods taught by the old man, just need more battles.
He is very cautious and restrained in battle, even if he is sure of the surrounding situation and is quite sure of his own safety, he is not greedy.
Every day, he carefully selects a combat target, and the rest of the time returns to his temporary "lair" to use his body to understand the various wonders of advanced cultivation methods, and in his spare time, he learns the various luck and combat skills of Yang's spearmanship to enhance his actual combat ability.
He also finally knew what the cultivation method that the old man had taught him represented.
A completely new system of practice that is very different from today's paths.
In this system, he has just crossed the threshold of the rigid realm.
The six refinements of the rigid realm, the refining of skin, the refining of meat, the refining of bones, the refining of blood, the refining of viscera, the refining of marrow, the sixfold realm, layer by layer.
"The six refinements of the rigid realm, the heaven and the earth are like ovens, and the flesh is like copper and iron, which must be tempered and repeatedly forged before it can achieve a strong and strong physique. In the same way, the six refining methods of the rigid realm, such as the grinding disc of life, accelerate the body's digestion and absorption of the secret refining in the body. The two are integrated and tempered with each other, and they can get the best of both worlds, and their skills are improving day by day, and they get twice the result with half the effort. ”
This is the epilogue of the last page of the book "The Rigid Realm", and combined with the words in that letter, the Force suddenly realized that there was no doubt about the road ahead.
Under the control of his mind, the mystical factors in the body gather at the junction between the body and the outside world, and the regular oscillation and impact at the skin membrane of the body suddenly give birth to all kinds of strange sensations, such as being pricked by needles, such as being subjected to knives and axes, and like being tickled by someone, sometimes cold and sometimes hot, such as being *****.
It's business as usual on the outside.
The Force knew that it was a disorder in the skin itself, and that it was not the real feelings that were fed back to the brain, but the vivid imprints of the body's memories.
In short, it can be seen as an illusion.
After a long time, these anomalies finally subsided completely, and the brain once again took over control of the skin around the body.
"Finally completed the first refining of the Rigid Realm and stepped into the threshold of refining skin, this is the real Rigid Realm cultivator. The Force was delighted in his heart, and he could feel the full strengthening of his body.
The "senses" of the skin are suddenly sharpened many times, like dusty glass being re-polished, and even the air flow driven by the wave of the hand can be captured and perceived by the skin between the palms of the fingers.
And this is only one aspect, he concentrated his mind on his arm, and he saw that the skin of his arm suddenly tensed, and instantly became dense and tough, and his defense increased greatly.
He also clearly felt that the strange feeling brought by the secret refining in his body instantly weakened a little.
[Realm: Black Iron Second Order, Initial Stage of Rigid Realm Skin Refining (Mystery Factor Content 2.2/10,000)
Strength: 3.4 (added 1.2)
Constitution: 5.3 (added 2.7)
Speed: 2.1 (added 0.2)
Health: 520 (added 210)】
Judging from the degree of digestion of the secret refining alone, such an increase is unreasonable.
Because he has only absorbed a small part of it this time, and most of it has not been digested, the new attributes have already exceeded half of the secret refining bonus, and there is also an additional speed and health increase.
The Force guessed that a large part of the new attributes came from the breakthrough of the Rigid Realm Skin Refining.
