In the Hundred Herbs Garden.
Master Ping suddenly stood up, patted Luo Xiu's shoulder, and said to him, "Without the accumulation of small steps, one cannot reach a thousand miles! Without the accumulation of small streams, one cannot form a river!"
"Even if you have the speed of four strikes a second, isn't it still one strike after another before finally reaching the peak?"
Luo Xiu said with a sullen face, "I have no fucking clue what you're babbling about."
He added, "Besides, I can already do seven strikes a second now!"
Upon hearing this, Master Ping's eyes widened, looking at Luo Xiu's waist with envy.
Suddenly he said, "What I an is, don't aim too high and far now. You haven't even reached the Respectable Realm, and yet you're thinking about the Great Emperor's matters. The road is walked step by step!"
Luo Xiu said seriously, "My current thought is to first stabilize the cultivation of the Black Inner Pill (Ancient God Inner Pill) at the Respectable Realm."
Master Ping stroked his chin, pondering, "Indeed, it requires so effort. Although this Black Inner Pill can give you power above the Respectable Realm, it's too mysterious without a clear realm level."
"Exactly, that's what I think too."
Master Ping asked, "Between Refine Self and Divine Miracle, which one do you choose to start with?"
Luo Xiu countered, "I'm already an adult, so can I choose both?"
Master Ping said, "It seems what gives you double happiness isn't just your Little Yan'er, but also the Hidden Realm. However, Master Ping's advice is to choose only one."
"Why?"
"Because you also have the White Elixir."
Luo Xiu instantly understood Master Ping's implication, nodding, "Makes sense, then I'll choose 'Refine Self' for the Black Inner Pill."
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Master Ping wave his hand, taking out a large wooden box from the World Inside the Vase.
With a heavy thud.
The large wooden box landed heavily, seemingly quite heavy, even sinking into the ground.
Curious, Luo Xiu walked over to open the box and found inside a set of armor that looked quite bulky and ugly.
"Is this supposed to be for to wear?"
Master Ping said, "This is the Sealing Spirit Armor that I've long prepared for you. So, do you feel the happiness called 'love as enduring as a mountain'?"
Luo Xiu asked blandly, "Have you ever heard of a slap that cos from the sky?"
Master Ping cursed, "You ungrateful son!"
Luo Xiu, too lazy to argue, asked, "Where the hell do you get all these bizarre things from?"
Master Ping chuckled, "Previously, when you were pillaging everywhere, all sorts of treasures piled up like a mountain, lots of good stuff among them, yet you didn't even look."
"Fortunately, my eyes are sharp, and I picked this treasure for you."
"This Sealing Spirit Armor was specifically created by major sects for 'Refine Self', an auxiliary magical treasure. Wearing it will impose a weight of 108,000 jin, and it provides balanced exercise to your entire body inside and out."
"Moreover, when you employ your cultivation, spikes will erge from inside the armor to punish you."
"Hence, it's also known as the 'Mandatory Self-discipline Armor'!"
Upon hearing this, black lines appeared all over Luo Xiu's head, "Armor weighing 108,000 jin… isn't this the Ruyi Jingu Bang?"
Master Ping grinned slyly, "Do you see that diamond-shaped green gemstone above? It will gradually turn red, and once fully red, it signifies that you've completed 'Refine Self' and entered the Respectable Realm."
"Co on, take off your clothes first, and I'll help you put it on."
Luo Xiu asked, "Take it all off?"
"Of course! This Sealing Spirit Armor automatically detects your physical strength, so you can't have any other clothing on."
With reluctance in his heart, Luo Xiu asked, "How long do I have to wear this thing?"
"That depends on when you complete 'Refine Self'."
Master Ping spread his hands and added, "Of course, you can take it off midway, it won't affect your progress."
"..."
And so.
With an anxious heart, Luo Xiu donned the 108,000 jin Sealing Spirit Armor with Master Ping's assistance.
And after putting it on, Luo Xiu finally understood what was called hell.
"Damn… not even allowed to wear underwear, isn't this too much?"
"Too much? We cultivators, in training, endure hardship. If you can't handle even this bit of suffering, how can you practice at all?"
"Hiss… but it really hurts to even walk."
"Quit whining!"
Luo Xiu, enduring the pain, stared fiercely at Master Ping, asking, "What should I do next?"
Master Ping said, "Naturally, head to the Divine Oracle Cave Heaven, specifically the first layer."
"Conveniently, the first layer can suppress your cultivation to the Body Refinent Realm, and I rember there's a place called 'The Forbidding Grounds' there, where the gravity is ten tis stronger."
Luo Xiu asked, "Go there, then what?"
Master Ping shrugged, "Then you can do whatever you want, like push-ups, pull-ups, anything works."
"Hurry up, the Sword Conference is still so days away, I'll call you two days prior."
Luo Xiu gritted his teeth, picked up the heavy helt, put it on his head, and began to activate the spell, preparing to enter the Divine Oracle Cave Heaven.
Master Ping added, "By the way, once you're inside, you can search for materials to aid your Body Refinent."
"What materials?"
With a wave of his hand, Master Ping tossed a list to Luo Xiu.
It was densely packed, listing a dozen materials.
So of those, Luo Xiu didn't even recognize.
"Where can I find them in a short ti?"
Master Ping shook his head and sighed, "Seems like this helt can impede your brain's blood supply, affecting your intelligence."
Luo Xiu said coldly, "Speak plainly!"
Master Ping, with a straight face, "Why not go to Wuxing Chuan?"
"Okay, I was too hasty."
"..."
