Chapter 34: Cultivating into an Iron Body
The ranking stabilized, and the backer branch ushered in a new batch of students, and at the same time, a group of old students left, including Wei Ying, a genuine monk who became Murong Qing's stepping stone, and took office immediately after receiving the reward given by the court, but he did not tell anyone the specific whereabouts.
At this time, Qi An had entered the Backing Mountain Branch for two full years, and it happened to be a critical period for him to prepare to cultivate the first layer of King Kong.
Qi An specially told Ji Zhengyue not to disturb them, locked himself in the quiet room and prepared to break through, and the corner was lit with high-grade sandalwood that refreshed his mind, which helped Qi An restrain his excitement and nervousness.
As early as a few days ago, Qi An stopped the practice of fists and feet and body techniques, and put all his thoughts on King Kong is not bad, just today, Qi An has clearly sensed the signs of breakthrough, every inch of muscles, bones, skin and flesh and every flesh and blood molecule in the whole body, are absorbed and scattered into the body of the heaven and earth Yuan Qi wrapped, completely entered the saturation state, just complete the last condensation step, the heaven and earth Yuan Qi will be completely integrated with the body cells, into an iron body.
"Come on!" Qi An thought silently in his heart, and began the process of condensing as he breathed.
It was even smoother than expected, as if it came naturally, a large amount of heaven and earth vitality filled with his body quickly merged with his own flesh and blood, indistinguishable from each other, although it seemed that Qi An had not changed from the outside, but all the components of his entire body had changed in essence, although it was still flesh and blood, it was better than flesh and blood.
"Finally...... Breakthrough!" Qi An suppressed the excitement in his heart, raised his two palms to take a look, and slowly clenched into a fist, and then released, a powerful force filled his body, with the action of clenching and loosening freely, he felt that he could blow up a cow between raising his hand, even if it was a peak martial sect, he would definitely not be able to hold his full strength with a punch, either dead or injured.
Qi An pulled out the war knife he carried with his right hand, and slashed at his left arm with half of his strength, only to hear a muffled sound, like the sound of gold and iron clashing, and the place where the war knife fell was unscathed.
Qi An nodded slightly, he had already expected such a result, he did not move with a look on his face, and continued to add three points of force to swing the knife to slash, after the sound of gold and iron impact, the war knife was directly bounced away, and the place where it was cut was still unharmed, and even the skin was not broken.
Qi An'an was overjoyed, and slashed it with all his might, anyway, his recovery ability was strong, and he was not afraid of injury, so he took this opportunity to test the toughness of the iron body.
Listening to the sound of the "bell", the blade cut fiercely on the arm muscle, Qi An didn't feel any pain at all, as if he was lightly whipped by a soft twig, and when he looked closely, there was only a faint white mark that was barely visible to the naked eye, and in an instant, this white mark disappeared, as if it had never appeared.
"Wonderful——! wonderful——!"
Qi An couldn't help but throw down the battle knife, dancing and stroking his palms and laughing, he didn't expect that once he cultivated to an iron body, his defense would skyrocket so much that he couldn't even hurt himself.
You must know that after cultivating an iron body, not only his defensive power, but also his attack power and speed have skyrocketed, so Qi An's full force at this time, coupled with his innate perverted divine power, his attack power has far exceeded that of ordinary early stage cultivators of the Condensation Realm, and it is completely different from before cultivating an iron body.
The method of refining qi is mainly to improve the strength of true qi, and the method of refining the body is to strengthen the entire physical body, once it breaks through, all the basic attributes of the body will skyrocket on the original basis, no wonder it is said that the cultivation of the iron body is comparable to that of the early stage of the Qi Condensation Realm, and it is really not exaggerated, and even Qi An still feels that the body refining method is more powerful than the qi refining method.
There are four levels of King Kong indestructible, which are called gold, silver, copper and iron body. The iron body is trained, that is, the entry, the bronze body is trained, it can be regarded as a small success, the silver body is practiced, it is called the great completion, and the gold body is cast, and it is perfect. And Qi An practiced hard for two years, and finally succeeded in taking the first step, cultivating this body refining technique to the point of entry, which was much faster than the fastest time recorded in the exercise, and even faster than the vast majority of martial sect breakthrough monks, which was a bit puzzling.
As we all know, one of the main reasons why the body refining system is inferior to the qi refining system is that the cultivation speed is usually slow, and everyone wants to take shortcuts, and no one wants to spend more time than others.
Qi An was also forced by the dark blue flames in the dantian to have no choice, so he had to give up the qi refining system and instead threw himself into the body refining method, but he didn't expect the cultivation speed to be surprisingly fast, and it only took two years to break through the realm of the martial sect and advance to the realm of qi condensation.
Of course, strictly speaking, the body refining system is completely different from the qi refining system, there is no such thing as a qi condensing realm, and even because there are very few body refining cultivators, there is no realm division of system norms at all, and it is usually equated with qi refining cultivators with actual combat power, as long as the combat power is reached, it can be attributed to this realm. For example, if the iron body is cultivated, the strength is equivalent to the early stage of the Qi Condensation Realm, which is also equivalent to Qi An becoming a monk.
The current realm division of the cultivation realm is completely defined according to the line of qi refining, the first great realm is the quenching body realm, collectively known as the martial artist, the second great realm is the qi condensing realm, collectively known as the monk, the third great realm is the refining god realm, collectively known as the great monk, the fourth great realm is the Rongyuan realm, collectively known as the real person, and there are the fifth, sixth, and seventh realms behind it......
Therefore, people who cultivate the truth often connect the realm and identity together to divide the group of people, such as the body quenching martial artist, the qi condensing monk, the great cultivator of the god refinement, the real person of Rongyuan, etc., which is the method of dividing the great realm.
Each major realm usually contains four smaller realms, which are abbreviated as the early stage, middle stage, late stage, and peak.
For example, in the realm of quenching the body, there are four stages of cultivation: easy tendon forging bones, marrow washing and blood exchange, strong pulse and clear knots, and congenital consummation, which are actually the early stage, middle stage, late stage, and peak, which correspond to martial arts, warriors, martial artists, and martial arts sects respectively.
Another example is the Qi Condensation Realm, there are also four stages of cultivation, which are Qi Gathering and Condensing Truth, Qi Penetrating the Whole Body, Internal Qi Release, and Qi Turning into Soldiers, as opposed to the early stage of the Qi Condensation Realm, the middle stage of the Qi Condensation Realm, the late stage of the Qi Condensation Realm, and the peak of the Qi Condensation Realm.
The body refining system also borrows this way of appellation, such as the Vajra not bad practice practiced by Qi'an, the entry is the iron body, the small success is the bronze body, the big cheng is the silver body, and the consummation is the golden body, which corresponds to the early stage of the condensation realm, the middle stage of the condensation realm, the late stage of the condensation realm, and the peak of the condensation realm.
Qi An has been cultivating since he was ten years old, although it is a little late, but it can be said that he has entered the realm quickly. In three years, to reach the congenital consummation, and in another two years, to break through to the early stage of the condensation realm, the entire quenching realm only took five years, which is already an extremely rare cultivation genius, although there is the credit of the blue flame to strengthen the meridian and expand the vein, but looking at the entire Daqian Dynasty, there are not many people who can do this step in five years.
In addition to the skyrocketing strength, the improvement of the great realm also has a great benefit, that is, the increase in longevity.
Ordinary mortals have a short lifespan, but only a few decades, and a martial artist who has reached innate perfection usually has a yang lifespan of about a hundred years, while a Qi Condensing Monk can live for one hundred and fifty years, and the lifespan of a Great Cultivator of God Refining is even more than two hundred years. Therefore, the higher the realm, the longer you live, and the more cultivation time you can get.
Although Qi An is a vein of refining the body, but in terms of longevity, it is the same as the vein of refining qi, and after the breakthrough, he directly increased his longevity by fifty years, and there is still a lot of time to cultivate in the future.
As we all know, the further the cultivation goes, the more difficult it is, and the more time it takes to go from accumulation to breakthrough.
Birth, old age, sickness and death are the truth of the universe, and cultivating the truth is to go against the sky, take your life with the sky, and make the impossible possible, until you live with the heaven and the earth, and shine with the sun and the moon.
It's just that Qi An is still young now, and the next days are still very long, and he is almost completely immersed in the joy of soaring strength, and he doesn't care too much about the increase in longevity.
In addition to strength and longevity, there are many benefits in the realm of condensation, such as a large reduction in the amount of food, you can not eat or drink for several days, and you can maintain the operation of the body just by absorbing the vitality of heaven and earth; the dirt and sweat stains in the body can also be eliminated from the body by breathing through the acupoints, and they are not left in the body, and they can be clean and clean for many years; although it has not reached the point where all kinds of poisons are inviolable, there are no ordinary minor illnesses and pains, and the recovery speed after injury is also much faster, whether it is internal or external injury.
It's just that Qi An doesn't care much about these benefits, what he wants to know most is how much his strength has improved, so he is ready to go to the Magnetic Meteorite Platform, the Random Arrow Field, and the Alley of Life and Death to test it well.
First of all, the magnetic meteorite platform, when he first entered the backer branch, Qi'an's bearing limit was 2,000 catties; before the breakthrough, that is, last month, Qi'an's bearing limit was about 2,500 catties; today when he tried again, the limit was raised again, reaching the terrifying point of 4,000 catties.
Then there is the chaotic arrow field, Qi An at the beginning of the test, even the primary mode can not pass, always have to be shot a few arrows, and then practice the moon chasing star body method, the speed has increased greatly, you can easily pass the primary mode;
After the iron body is cultivated, it also has a certain bonus to speed, although it is not as exaggerated as the offensive and defensive ability, but it is much greater than the improvement of the peak martial sect compared to the ordinary martial sect, and the speed of the early stage cultivator of the condensation realm is indistinguishable.
Sure enough, the strengthened body speed combined with the moon-stepping star chasing body method, finally made Qi An complete the trial of the advanced chaotic arrow field without injury, which was still in the case of playing well, and only succeeded once in four consecutive times, and the other three times were accidentally rubbed with one or two arrows, resulting in defeat.
But in the most advanced expert mode, Qi An was shot as a "hedgehog". Of course, the strength of the arrow is not large, and it will be bounced off when it hits the body, and it doesn't really make Qi An's body full of arrows, and the hedgehog is just an image to help understand.
