After receiving ng Yan’s reply, Qi Ping felt reassured.
For soone of ng Yan’s status, acquiring a set of formation manuals was practically effortless.
Coupled with his recent feat of eliminating three geniuses from rival sects, which must have earned him significant rit within the Qingyuan Sect, Qi Ping had no doubts whatsoever about his ability to get this done.
With the matter of obtaining formations handled, Qi Ping dove back into his life of farming and cultivation.
The fierce conflicts raging outside had nothing to do with him. He just needed to ensure he could fully assist ng Yan if he was ever in danger. Who won or lost the larger battles was of no concern to him.
His greatest desire now was to build a territory that belonged solely to him, where he could peacefully develop his grand ventures of farming and beekeeping!
…
“Acquiring the formations will still take so ti…”
“So during this period, the main focus remains on cultivating the high-year spiritual herbs needed for Ya Ya [the crow], and quickly raising the Flower Sprite to the second rank.”
“For the rest of my ti, I’ll normally refine honey to improve my cultivation base, steadily advancing to Qi Refinent perfection. Then, I’ll also try cultivating the “Blazing Glazed Body” technique obtained from that Heavenfire Pavilion man…”
Obtaining the “Blazing Glazed Body” from that Heavenfire Pavilion disciple was an unexpected boon for Qi Ping.
He had killed quite a few cultivators by now, but core cultivation techniques rarely dropped, especially from sect disciples. Their storage pouches seldom contained precious cultivation thods.
ng Yan had ntioned this before, explaining that sects strictly forbade taking technique jade slips outside the sect to prevent their thods from leaking.
Yet, that burly Heavenfire Pavilion disciple had not only brought out the “Blazing Glazed Body” technique but also had a complete jade slip!
Qi Ping guessed that this body refinent technique wasn’t a Heavenfire Pavilion thod but sothing the disciple had fortuitously obtained himself.
“Blazing Glazed Body… Tempering the flesh with blazing flas, stimulating the body’s potential through fire refinent… requires extrely high innate physical talent… needs fire-attribute pills for cultivation…”
“Upon reaching Grand Completion, the body becos like glazed crystal… excels in both offense and defense…”
“This body refinent technique seems quite powerful…”
After carefully contemplating it, Qi Ping realized the underlying principles of this technique were quite profound.
If cultivated to perfection, not only would the physique beco peerless, but it would also carry an overbearing aura capable of suppressing all things. It was a body refinent thod that pointed directly towards the true intent of physical laws…
Qi Ping estimated that Heavenfire Pavilion disciple must have been close to perfection; otherwise, his combat prowess wouldn’t have been so formidable.
However, Qi Ping didn’t plan to fully cultivate this technique. He only intended to borrow its thod of using blazing flas to stimulate bodily potential, elevating his physique to a new level.
He figured reaching a level roughly equivalent to Minor Achievent in the Blazing Glazed Body would be his limit.
Progressing further would an truly walking the path of body refinent.
The paths of body refinent and Qi refinent were fundantally different. Sotis they could even be mutually exclusive, making it extrely difficult to reach the pinnacle in both simultaneously.
After all, the two paths were worlds apart. How could one body possibly reach the extre on two such divergent roads?
In fact, many true body refinent techniques, when cultivated to their peak, could even make it impossible to practice Qi refinent thods afterward.
Therefore, the body refinent techniques practiced by Qi-refining cultivators generally weren’t true body refinent techniques in the strictest sense. At their core, they still used spiritual energy to nourish and temper the flesh, enhancing and transforming the physique. The goal was usually just to withstand the pressures brought by operating spiritual power.
True body refinent techniques, however, pursued the ultimate strength, the ultimate attack, and the ultimate defense of the physical body. They would cause profound transformations in the body that were detrintal to Qi cultivation.
Qi Ping’s plan to reference the spiritual energy nourishnt and flesh tempering thods from the Blazing Glazed Body wouldn’t bring about such changes.
Generally, the spiritual energy nourishnt and flesh tempering thods found in true body-refining techniques were quite advanced. Qi-refining cultivators practicing them wouldn’t encounter issues.
“With the help of Fire-Glow Honey and the Blazing Glazed Body, plus my King of Beasts Fla and Sunfire Physique talents, completing the first stage of tempering shouldn’t be too difficult…”
“After this step, my physical toughness should reach an entirely new level. That should be completely sufficient for executing the Flaburst Movent Technique, or attempting the breakthrough to Foundation Establishnt…”
…
Qi Ping spent a full five days comprehending this body refinent technique. After confirming there were no omissions, he slowly began to attempt its practice.
After swallowing a mouthful of Fire-Glow Honey, Qi Ping started using his fire-attribute spiritual power—infused with the King of Beasts Fla—to strengthen his physique through the special nourishnt and tempering thods…
Only a short while later, Qi Ping felt his physical toughness and strength rapidly increasing!
“Such potent effects!”
Feeling the rate of his body’s enhancent, Qi Ping couldn’t help but marvel.
“Knowledge truly is power. These cultivation thods and techniques left behind by the tempering of predecessors are far more effective than trying to improve on my own using just spiritual herbs!”
This experience gave Qi Ping a deeper understanding of the importance of knowledge.
“However, such good results are probably also because, for such a long ti, I’ve been consistently consuming both Fire Spirit Tempering Honey and Fire-Glow Honey. A lot of dicinal efficacy had accumulated within my body. Now, using the Blazing Glazed Body technique, I’m finally able to fully release this stored potency.”
“This is like building up a thick foundation before a big release. The efforts I made before weren’t inefficient at all!”
Motivated by this rapid improvent, Qi Ping threw himself into cultivation. Aside from ti spent nurturing spiritual herbs and improving his cultivation base, he diligently used the Blazing Glazed Body’s tempering thod to refine his physique.
Coupled with his innate Sunfire Physique and powerful King of Beasts Fla talent, his tempering efficiency progressed by leaps and bounds.
One month later.
“My current physical toughness can finally withstand the strain the Flaburst Movent Technique puts on the body!”
At this mont, Qi Ping continuously executed the Flaburst Movent Technique, weaving through a pile of rubble. Violent and terrifying power surged within him, yet it caused him no strain whatsoever!
“This is the complete form of the Flaburst spells!”
Qi Ping could now operate his spiritual power without restraint, ready to unleash his most powerful Flaburst Fireballs and Flaburst Nets at any mont. The Flaburst Movent Technique could also be sustained for extended periods.
“If I were to face that burly Heavenfire Pavilion man now, with my current physical toughness and the enhancent from the Flaburst Net and Barkskin, I could probably trade blows with him head-on for a short ti without losing much ground. I might even injure him.”
Being able to clash directly with a genius body refiner without falling behind was proof enough that Qi Ping’s defensive capabilities had reached the first tier among his peers.
“Excellent, excellent! Now, whether it’s for combat or attempting my breakthrough to Foundation Establishnt, I don’t need to worry about my physical toughness for the ti being!”
Feeling the imnse strength and vigorous vitality emanating from his body, his heart was filled with imnse satisfaction.
Increased strength, increased lifespan, and an indescribable feeling of comfort in his body—this was what cultivation was all about!
Roughly seven more days passed before Qi Ping finally received the ssage: the formations were in hand!
