"You just dumped here and ran off, so you’re done with now, is that it?"
...
’Good grief...’
Yang An’s mouth couldn’t help but twitch.
He had no idea what had gotten into the Bow Lady. She was acting like a spurned wife in her boudoir, which suddenly made him very uncomfortable.
Especially since his current identity was that of a Monk.
If this voice from the Quiet Chamber were to get out, wouldn’t he, the dignified Buddha’s Son of Great Virtue Temple, be seen as a womanizing Monk?
What would the other Monks think?
What would the Bodhisattvas think?
What would Buddha think?
"Bow Lady, let’s talk this out nicely. If you’re going to play gas like this, then I won’t be so polite."
"You little punk, how are you going to be impolite? I’m a bow. What, you think you can do sothing to a bow?"
"Heh heh."
A playful smile imdiately appeared on Yang An’s face.
A long, long... arrow suddenly appeared in his hand.
"Wh-what are you trying to do?"
The Bow Lady’s voice suddenly sounded flustered, but amidst the panic, there was a hint of excitent and anticipation.
"Not trying to do anything. Heh heh, just taking it out to have a look."
Yang An waved the Unidentified Arrow in his hand, then gave it a once-over.
The arrow had been fully recharged since he killed that old fellow, Life Crane.
This was one of his ultimate weapons.
Only by feeling its abundant power did Yang An feel at ease.
Then, Yang An returned the long arrow to the at Burial Talisman.
"You... you... bastard!"
Seeing that Yang An had only taken the arrow out to show it off before quickly putting it away...
The Bow Lady was instantly infuriated, as if Yang An had viciously struck her Life Gate.
After his daily banter with the Bow Lady, the scene was warm and harmonious. Yang An eagerly took off his Monk’s Robe, ready to get down to business.
Like a starving tiger pouncing on its prey, he then... took out all the materials for the Cultivation of the Jade Kala Vajra Body from his at Burial Talisman and laid them out one by one before him.
A Body Refining Technique was different from a Technique. To cultivate a Body Refining Technique, the process was extrely tedious and complex; it couldn’t be done just by forming a few Seal Decisions and chanting a few lines of a Spell.
To cultivate the Jade Kala Vajra Body, the first thing he had to do was consu the Elixir Pills he had obtained from the Buddha’s Hall of Destiny.
The Elixir Pills would help open all the acupoints and ridians in his body, keeping them clear for a short period.
To put it simply, it turned his physical body into a container capable of completely absorbing all the subsequent materials.
Of course, there was a price to pay for using these materials.
Many Cultivators who chose to practice a Body Refining Technique had to endure this painful process.
The more materials required for a Body Refining Technique, the greater the price one had to endure during the cultivation process.
Perhaps a single Spiritual Object wouldn’t cause unbearable pain.
But when the prices of several, or even dozens, of Spiritual Objects erupted at once, it was a completely different story.
Fortunately, the associated costs weren’t inextricably linked to the Cultivation of the Jade Kala Vajra Body. Yang An had purified them all, one by one, completely eliminating every price.
He used his Golden Finger’s ability to its fullest extent.
Compared to other Cultivators who practiced Body Refining Techniques, Yang An’s cultivation process could be described as smooth sailing. There was no pain; instead, it was more like a novel experience.
’A Golden Core I swallow; my fate is my own, not heaven’s to decide.’
Yang An couldn’t help but recall a famous line from a novel in his past life. Applying it to the current scene, his heart surged with emotion.
Unfortunately, the Elixir Pills in his hand were a dull, murky black, which didn’t quite fit the grand occasion.
The dicinal power rapidly dissolved within his body. Yang An suddenly felt an imnse comfort, as if every pore on his body had opened up at once.
In this state, it seed as if even the gentlest breeze would feel like a caress, making his Scalp tingle.
He didn’t delay. The dicinal power of the Elixir Pills opened all the acupoints and ridians in his body. Even the blood in his veins stopped flowing, and his Heart began to beat rapidly. THUMP-THUMP-THUMP.
HUM!
A cluster of dark red flas ignited in Yang An’s palm, instantly bathing the dim Quiet Chamber in a crimson glow.
This was the Lighting Fire.
His next step was to process several of the materials into a dicinal liquid for his body to absorb.
And the fastest way to create this liquid was to simply lt them down with high heat.
’What would it be like to perform Alchemy using the Lighting Technique?’ Yang An had actually long wanted to try it.
’If a crowd were to watch perform Alchemy with the Lighting Technique, the scene would be...’
’In the end, the Elixir probably wouldn’t be refined, but all the onlookers would go insane.’
Unfortunately, he didn’t know Alchemy, nor had he ever seen how other Cultivators perford it.
’If I have free ti in the future, I could consider learning it. After all, you can never have too many skills.’
The dark red flas surged in Yang An’s hand, even causing the surrounding air to distort from the intense heat.
Using his Mana, he controlled the materials one by one, roasting them separately over the flas.
Since the Lighting Technique was the first Technique Yang An had mastered, his control over the fla’s temperature was remarkably precise.
Before long, all the materials had rapidly liquefied under the fla’s heat and were subsequently swallowed by Yang An.
The various materials weren’t mixed together; instead, he consud them separately.
As the dicinal power and effects of these Spiritual Objects began to work within Yang An’s body, he started to feel intensely hot.
The absorbed Spiritual Objects seed to smoothly begin colliding and rging within his various acupoints and ridians.
An indescribable feeling surfaced in his mind.
He suddenly felt that this Body Refining Technique’s thod was like treating himself as an Elixir. It was as if he were stuffing himself with all sorts of things with different effects, then waiting for this ’Elixir’ to undergo various chemical reactions, ultimately and logically becoming a perfect pill.
If Yang An hadn’t already morized the Cultivation thod for the Jade Kala Vajra Body, he’d have to admit, it really did seem that way.
