Chapter 3 The Art of Tempering

"Condense the Fourth Spiritual Breath!"

Hearing Tang Chen's words, Barren was also overjoyed, he and Tang Chen were adopted by Tang Jue since they were children, and he was very clear about Tang Chen's ability.

He still clearly remembered that when the two of them first came into contact with cultivation, Tang Jue taught the two of them a secret method of cultivating spiritual breath.

According to the cultivation of martial artists, this secret method can reach infinite possibilities and open up more spiritual breath, but the difficulty of this secret method cultivation is also directly proportional to its effect.

This can be seen from the fact that Tang Chen has cultivated for ten years before condensing the three spiritual breaths, and the reason why Tang Chen's cultivation speed is so slow is not because of his average talent, but because of this secret method.

This kind of secret method passed down by Tang Jue is called the technique of thousands of hammers and refinements, and it is specially used for the cultivation of spiritual breath by foundation building martial artists.

The technique of thousands of hammers, tempering the muscles and bones, fusing the spiritual breath, the stronger the muscles and bones, the more prosperous the spiritual breath.

This Thousand Tempers Technique has two characteristics, one is that it can guide the power of heaven and earth to refine the body, and the other is that it can fuse two spiritual breaths into one, but the premise is that your meridians must be able to withstand the strong impact of the fusion.

There are also limitations to cultivating this skill of tempering, and the mind is not strong enough to cultivate, because whether it is to guide the power of heaven and earth to quench the body, or to fuse the spiritual breath, it requires the strong control of the mind.

Now, the first spiritual breath of the barren self was fused after cultivating the six spiritual breaths, and his own cultivation also fell from the sixth layer of the foundation to the first layer of the foundation, but the strong power of the spiritual breath was enough to be comparable to the third layer of the foundation.

Cultivating three spiritual breaths, the barren has fused a total of fifteen spiritual breaths, and now he can also have the power to fight in the face of the fifth layer of the foundation building, if he cultivates the fourth spiritual breath, facing the peak of the fifth layer of the foundation building, he should be able to win completely, but the sixth layer is still slightly insufficient.

After all, every stage of foundation building is not so easy to cross. Under normal circumstances, a foundation building three-layer peak is enough to crush a low-level foundation building three-layer martial artist.

Barren knows very well the power of this thousand tempering techniques, but it is also very difficult to cultivate, the first spiritual breath he fused six realms to reach the limit, the second realm he can only withstand five spiritual breaths, with the condensation of the spiritual breath in his body, his body's ability to withstand the power of spiritual breath is getting weaker and weaker.

As a result, the third spiritual breath only fused with four spiritual breaths, and so on, if he no longer made a breakthrough in his physique, he would stop at the seventh layer of the foundation, because at that time, his body could no longer bear the slightest bit of spiritual breath power.

This is the disadvantage of the Thousand Tempering Technique, which can infinitely fuse the power of spiritual breath, but if the body is not strong enough, it will either be blown up or stop there.

Although Desolation often used the power of heaven and earth to refine his physique, in this way, his cultivation was wasted, so in between, most of his energy was spent on cultivating spiritual breath.

Tang Chen, on the other hand, was just the opposite, he never cultivated spiritual breath, he only focused on the cultivation of his physique, and only when his physique was strong enough to reach a certain realm, he would begin to cultivate spiritual breath and begin to fuse!

At least, that's what the barren sees.

Barren came back to his senses, looked at Tang Chen and asked curiously, "Tang Chen, in fact, I have always wanted to ask you, how much power did you fuse when you condensed the first spiritual breath?"

Barren's eyes were full of expectation, he had asked Tang Chen this question a long time ago, but Tang Chen just smiled and didn't say anything, which made Barren even more curious, almost every time Tang Chen broke through, he had to ask once.

This time, seeing that Tang Chen was about to break through again, he couldn't help but ask.

Tang Chen smiled helplessly and said, "You don't believe what I said, so why waste your saliva?"

Barren pulled Tang Chen unrelentingly, and hurriedly said: "I told you all the spiritual breath condensation I used, besides, you didn't say it, how do you know that I don't believe it?"

Entangled by the barrenness, Tang Chen was really a little annoyed, he broke away from the barren palm, stared at the barren and said, "Listen, it's you who want to ask, don't blame me for hitting you when the time comes." ”

In the barren and straightforward gaze, Tang Chen pretended to think for a while, and said slowly: "I remember, I condensed the first spiritual breath, as if it was fused with ten spiritual breaths to reach the limit. ”

Hearing Tang Chen's words, Barren was full of disbelief, looked at Tang Chen and said with disdain: "Do you have common sense, every martial artist can only cultivate nine spiritual breaths in his body, how can you fuse ten spiritual breaths in one go, one spiritual breath and one realm, ten spiritual breaths? I have never heard of a realm with ten layers of foundations." ”

Indeed, a martial artist's body can only condense the Nine Spiritual Breaths, this is the common knowledge that every martial artist knows, if there really is, it may be the sea of qi opened up by the Nine Spiritual Breaths!

For this common sense, Tang Chen naturally knew it, so he could only glance at the barrenness with a blank brain, and then asked: "How many of the three spiritual breaths in your body are formed by fusing them?" I'm afraid it has already exceeded the number of nine spiritual breaths!"

Tang Chen didn't give Barren a chance to answer and continued: "The body of the foundation building martial artist can only condense nine spiritual breaths, that's because their body's endurance capacity is only so much, and they didn't think of breaking through this limit under the common sense that they all know!"

"And we, relying on the method of thousands of tempers to guide the power of heaven and earth to quench the body, have already broken through the limit of the physique, and every time we condense the spiritual breath, our physique will be raised to the next level again. ”

Tang Chen paused, and then said: "Just like your situation, what you said will stop at the seventh layer of foundation building, that is simply impossible, every time you feel that you have reached the limit, it is just a bottleneck, and it is also related to your cultivation method." ”

"Cultivation method?"

Barren looked up at Tang Chen, and suddenly understood, if it was really as Tang Chen said, it was really possible to condense the tenth spiritual breath, but according to his cultivation method, it was no longer possible.

Tang Chen's eyes also obviously had a bit of regret, the way of cultivation in the barren was too violent, condensed enough spiritual breath, and then fused in one go, such a cultivation, after condensing the vitality seed at the seventh layer of the foundation, it was impossible to fuse the spiritual breath at all.

Because at that time, with the spiritual breath in the vitality, it was no longer the spiritual breath, but the spiritual breath, and the power of the spiritual breath was ten times that of the spiritual breath, and each time it came down, it was enough to make the barren body reach the limit.

And Tang Chen is different, when he cultivates, he first tempers his physique, then condenses his spiritual breath, and then fuses the two spiritual breaths, constantly tempering them, breaking through the bottleneck of his physique, cultivating his physique again, and then condensing his spiritual breath, fusing with it, and so on.

In such a steady and steady cultivation, in ten years, the spiritual breath he condensed in the true sense was a full thirty, and every ten spiritual breaths fused into one spiritual breath.

There had never been a time when the fusion of spiritual breath had reached the limit, and the reason why the ten realms were fused into one spiritual breath, and not more, was because he himself could feel that in this foundation building realm, his ultimate limit was one hundred spiritual breaths.

This was just a feeling from the bottom of his heart, and there was no experience to talk about, and besides, Tang Chen felt as if he had cultivated this Thousand Tempers Technique before, and he was very clear about the points and flaws of each part of the Thousand Tempering Techniques.

Retracting his mind, Tang Chen glanced at the barren and said, "You don't have to be frustrated, if you start to cultivate steadily now, although there is no way to enter the tenth layer of foundation building, it is still possible to fuse the Yuan Breath." ”

Hearing Tang Chen's words, the barren and dim eyes became a little colored, and then he seemed to remember something, looked at Tang Chen and said: "The day after tomorrow, the Dragon Capture Domain will be opened, you have to break through in time, don't be late, I will also condense my fourth spiritual breath."

At the end, Barren was silent for a while before he looked at Tang Chen and said, "Xin Yu is also my sister, the day after tomorrow, I will go with you!!"

After saying this, Barren got up and left, Tang Chen smiled slightly, and didn't ask him where he was going?

Watching the barren slowly walk out of the courtyard, Tang Chen sighed slowly, a touch of coldness crossed his eyes, and he muttered in a low voice in his heart: "Barren, don't let me down!"

In the dark night, in front of a remote cave on the mountain peak, a dark shadow slowly approached, and the night wind howled, blowing through the dense jungle around it, making a crackling sound.

Under the illumination of the moonlight, the black shadow slowly appeared, and slowly walked into the cave, that fleeting familiar face, wasn't it the barrenness that had just left Tang Chen's side?

Barren walked into the cave, and after a while, there was a sound from the cave, and the barren body flew out upside down covered in blood in this roar.

Immediately afterwards, there was a burst of eerie laughter from the cave, and a chilling voice slowly came out: "Building the tenth layer of the foundation, Tang Chen's ambition is really not small, and he is worthy of being Tang Jue's apprentice." ”

The barren and sturdy body staggered up from the ground outside the cave, bowed respectfully to the cave, and said, "Master, Tang Chen wants to participate in the Dragon Capture Domain the day after tomorrow. ”

The grim voice sounded again with a hint of doubt: "Oh? Why?"

Barren hesitated for a while before he spoke: "It's for his sister, his sister is sick again, and the vitality in her body is about to run out, didn't you tell me last time, this time there is a three-grade elixir earth spirit fruit in the Dragon Snatching Domain, we are going to fight for him!"

The voice in the cave was silent for a while, and after a long time, he said slowly: "En, you go to help Tang Chen, you must get the Earth Spirit Fruit, this fruit is very useful...... Be able to further awaken the Heart of the Earth!!"

In the last sentence, the voice was like a murmur, and the barrenness was not very clear, but he didn't dare to ask, and said respectfully: "I have promised Tang Chen to go with him." Please rest assured host!"

The gloomy voice in the cave did not sound for a long time, and the desolation stood outside the cave, and after a while, a mass of something wrapped in gray light floated out of the cave and stood still in front of the desolation.

The gloomy voice in the cave also sounded here: "This is an elixir refined by the Spirit Zhu Fruit, the medicinal properties are mild, it will help you condense the spiritual breath, hurry up and refine it!"

Barren nodded, swallowed the pill in front of him without the slightest hesitation, and smelted the fourth spiritual breath outside the cave!!

After entering the state of cultivation in the desolation, a figure wrapped in a black robe in the cave slowly walked out, looking at the desolation with greedy eyes, looking into the distance from the desolate body, and muttering to himself: "The heart of the earth is about to mature, wait, it won't be long before the heart of the earth belongs to me......"
