Chapter 45: Refining the Body

Wang Haoren first found a cave, cleaned it up and arranged it, the furniture and kitchen utensils were prepared, and the entrance of the cave was blocked with boulders, leaving only a small hole large enough for one person to enter and exit. Each time you enter or exit a small hole, plug it with metal of the same size. After the temporary shelter was built, Wang Haoren found one, and there was a waterfall hundreds of zhang high to refine his body. The turbulent water rushes down from the top of the mountain, like a galloping horse, accompanied by a muffled thunderous sound, the water crashes against the huge rock below, and countless water splashes bloom. One can imagine the force of the water rushing down like a beast.

At dawn with a slight light in the sky, Wang Haoren's figure appeared on the shore under the waterfall. He quickly took off his clothes, jumped into the waterfall, and swam in the water, watching the raging water rushing down in front of him, listening to the huge sound of thunder, almost deafening. After Wang Haoren hesitated slightly, he struggled to get into a boulder under the waterfall. Wang Haoren sat cross-legged under the waterfall waterfall, letting the powerful impact of the water bombard his body.

Within a few minutes, Wang Haoren escaped from under the waterfall with difficulty, floating in the water, showing his head, breathing in the air rapidly, his face was bloodless, and his whole body was slightly red. It can be seen that the flow of water with this huge impact has become a lot of trauma for him. After resting for a while, Wang Haoren took a deep breath, a look of determination flashed in his eyes, and he rushed to the boulder again, bombarded by the turbulent water.

After holding on for about half a minute more than just now, Wang Haoren burst out of the water again, at this time, his back was already bloodshot, and his face was extremely pale. After resting for a while, Wang Haoren went under the waterfall again. It wasn't until the sunset was about to set completely in the sky that Wang Haoren climbed to the shore, lying on his back with all his strength on the ground, greedily inhaling fresh air. Half an hour later, Wang Haoren slowly sat up, picked up his clothes, dried his body, put on his clothes, and staggered away along the path.

Returning to the temporary residence to plug the hole, Wang Haoren took out some from the storage bag, prepared the barbecue and a few bottles of spirits, and took a big gulp of barbecue and drank the spirits to replenish his strength. Spirits can speed up blood circulation and absorb nutrients from barbecue more efficiently. The impact of the water on the body can cause some bruising, and the use of spirits can naturally disperse the stasis. After eating about seven or eight catties of barbecue and drinking almost two catties of spirits, Wang Haoren was also a little dizzy.

Wang Haoren sat cross-legged, mobilized his true qi to speed up blood circulation, and absorbed the nutrients from those barbecued meats to nourish his body. After being washed by the huge force of the water flow countless times throughout the day, Wang Haoren's skin no longer had the slightest blood, as white as a dead fish belly. Like this waterfall refining, Wang Haoren estimates that it will take another month or two to complete the first step of refining the body. The cultivation of the "Five Elements Battle Body Formula" is divided into three steps: refining skin, forging tendons, and easy marrow.

Originally, the cultivation of the "Five Elements Battle Body Technique" was to use many precious elixirs to boil medicinal liquids to nourish the body as an auxiliary, but Wang Haoren, who had no elixir available, could only use mutant beast meat and crystals to support his cultivation. The speed of cultivation in this way must be slow, but fortunately, Wang Haoren has a wealth of cultivation experience, which can reduce a lot of cultivation time.

After absorbing the nutrients of the barbecue, Wang Haoren took out the crystals to absorb and used the energy of the crystals to condition the body. After a night of recuperation, Wang Haoren's skin has regained its blood color, and it is no longer so dead and white. The sky was bright, and Wang Haoren went to the waterfall for another day of cultivation. After ten days of repeated cultivation like this, Wang Haoren's skin began to turn copper-colored, which was the result of long-term blood stasis. Now Wang Haoren is quite fragile, even when the wind blows on his skin, he feels like cutting with a knife. Wang Haoren could only use his true qi to protect his whole body, gritted his teeth and insisted on refining his body under the waterfall.

The blood stasis in the skin was forced out of the pores of the sweat by the true qi, and under the washing of the water, Wang Haoren could only hold on to the rock for about twenty minutes. When his true qi was about to run out, he quickly swam to the shore and absorbed the crystals to transform his true qi. After the true qi was replenished, he continued to refine his body under the waterfall. Wang Haoren's skin turned white and purple, and after being forced out of blood stasis, it was as white as a fish belly.

In the waterhole under the waterfall, those mutated fish and shrimp smelled blood and came up one after another. Whether Wang Haoren is cultivating on the rocks or swimming back to the shore to replenish his true qi, he has always had to endure the siege of fish and shrimp. Under the protection of the true qi, the sharp teeth of the mutant fish that can bite the metal can't hurt Wang Haoren. But in this way, the consumption of true qi is even greater. True Qi that could have lasted under the waterfall for twenty minutes can only hold on to this for ten minutes in order to defend against the attacks of mutant fish and shrimp.

Wang Haoren's cultivation is extremely dangerous in such an environment, and wherever there is a water source, it is the place where all kinds of mutant beasts have the most frequent activities. Now Wang Haoren is extremely weak, in case he encounters a mutant beast at this time, then he will be in danger. Wang Haoren dug out a stone cave on the rock wall behind the waterfall, and when his true qi ran out, he hid in the stone cave to absorb crystals and replenish his true qi. This eliminates the need to travel back and forth to the shore and avoids being attacked by mutant beasts.

As for the attack of mutant fish and shrimp, there is no way to avoid it. Fortunately, Wang Haoren sat on the rock of cultivation, which was two or three meters higher than the surface of the pool, and there were not many mutant fish and shrimp that could jump up and attack him. Moreover, with the strong impact of the current, even if the mutated fish and shrimp jump up, they will be washed back into the pool.

Wang Haoren finished his day's cultivation and returned to his temporary residence when there were no mutant beasts by the waterhole. He hadn't eaten all day, and as soon as Wang Haoren returned to his residence, he immediately devoured a few pieces of barbecue. It's not that he doesn't want to eat, but in the process of cultivation, there is danger, Wang Haoren has to maintain the operation of his true qi at any time, and he is not allowed to stop and eat at all. Even if you stop for a second, your life may be in danger. Those mutated fish and shrimp, it doesn't matter if you want to rest or not, once the true qi stops, the sharp teeth of the mutated fish and shrimp that can bite the metal can instantly tear Wang Haoren to pieces.

After swallowing a few pieces of barbecue, Wang Haoren relieved himself. "Comfortable, the feeling of hunger is too uncomfortable, you can't avoid the level of refining skin, unlike forging tendons and easy marrow that can be washed with true qi, you have to really carry the impact of the waterfall tough skin, the next step is to cultivate in boiling water, and then you have to resist the impact of the waterfall, it will take about three times to practice, it will take about three months before and after, this time you will first cultivate the first stage, and the rest will be practiced again after finding talents." Wang Haoren secretly thought about his future cultivation plan and muttered.

The whole sky was gray and shrouded in a layer of mist, showing an eerie dark red. The earth is even more pitted, from time to time there are huge pits, there is some kind of indescribable breath of death, and from time to time there are scattered white bones faintly appearing. Under a half-collapsed mountain cliff, a group of people sat quietly, and a stream of fresh air rushed out on the top, turning into small electric arcs, which slowly circulated around Wang Haoren's body. It took twenty days for Wang Haoren to complete the first stage of skin refining. Wang Haoren took a trip to Xingyi Five Elements Fist to stretch his muscles and bones, the fist was neat, the strength was clear, and the clothes stuck to the air and made a crisp sound of popping beans exploding. Only then did Wang Haoren pack up his things and drive away from this cultivation place.

More than a dozen kilometers away from the base, hide the car in the grass. Wang Haoren carried a backpack on his back, straddled the bow and arrows, and strode towards the base with a machete. The base is more than 200 kilometers away from the nearest city. In the past, it was a large import and export trade container distribution center on the outskirts of the city. Built along the river, covering an area of more than 30 square kilometers, there are four million-ton wharves alone, and it is the largest trading port in Northwest China.
