Starting as a Son-in-law to Establish an immortal Family

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining the “Hundred Refinements Treasure Body Art”.]

[The reward has been issued to the System Space, and the host can check it at any time.]

A transparent jade scroll pattern emerged, accompanying the system notification sound.

“Hundred Refinements Treasure Body Art?”

“Is this, a Body Refining Technique?”

Just as a look of joy started to appear on Lu Changsheng’s face, his expression stiffened.

He did want to cultivate a technique.

But what he wanted was a Qi Refinement Technique, not a Body Refinement Technique.

Among cultivators, there is also the concept of Body Cultivation, known as Body Cultivators.

Compared to Law Cultivators, Body Cultivators can significantly make up for the weaknesses in survival ability and close-combat in the early stages.

But compared to Law Cultivation, Body Cultivation consumes more time, effort, and resources.

Most cultivators simply didn’t have the time, energy, or financial resources to cultivate both a Body Refining Technique and Law Cultivation; to pursue Magical Dual Cultivation.

After all, for most cultivators, Cultivation Level, Magical Treasures, and Divine Skills are the main focus.

Physical bodies and such, as long as they’re passable, that’s enough.

Who would bother with close-combat as a dignified cultivator?

Body Cultivation only has the advantage in the early stages of cultivation.

“Sigh, the first technique I drew was a supplementary technique, and now another Body Refining Technique.”

“Is it so difficult to get a Qi Refinement Technique?”

Lu Changsheng shook his head and heaved a sigh.

“However, if it’s a Body Refining Technique, then so be it—having more skills won’t hold one down.”

“Besides, the body is the capital of the revolution; while other cultivators don’t really focus on body refining, the path I’ll take in the future definitely requires proper cultivation of the physical body.”

Lu Changsheng took a deep breath and said.

He naturally wouldn’t disdain a Body Refining Technique.

It was just that, relatively speaking, he wanted a Qi Refinement Technique more at this stage.

However, as a cultivator who will have multiple wives and concubines and wishes to expand his family in the future…

He felt that he did indeed have a need for body refinement to improve the aspect of his physical body.

Immediately after, Lu Changsheng opened the System Space to check the technique he had acquired.

[Technique: Hundred Refinements Treasure Body Art]

[Grade: Orthodox Level]

[Description: An inheritance technique from Hundred Creation Mountain that uses heaven and earth treasures to forge the flesh, meridians, and bones of the human body, making one’s body as splendid as a magic artifact, indestructible and possessing different magic artifact divine skill powers!]

“Hiss!”

“It’s actually an Orthodox Level Technique!”

Lu Changsheng was surprised when he saw the grade of the technique.

Techniques are categorized as: Primary Level, Advanced Level, Exquisite Level, Peripheral Sect Level, Orthodox Level.

Orthodox Level is the highest class of techniques he currently knows of.

He was already astounded when he acquired the Immortal Beauty Technique, which was a Peripheral Sect Level technique.

He thought the system could only draw Peripheral Sect Level techniques.

But unexpectedly, this time it gave him an Orthodox Level Technique.

“All I can say is, the system is amazing!”

Then, upon seeing the description of the Hundred Refinements Treasure Body Art, Lu Changsheng couldn’t help but take a sharp intake of breath.

Using heaven and earth treasures to forge the flesh, meridians, and bones of the human body, making one’s body as splendid as a magic artifact, and possessing magic artifact divine skills.

Just by reading this explanation, one would know how extraordinary this technique was, and how terrifying it would be once one reached a high level of cultivation.

“However, refining the body to be like a magic artifact wouldn’t make it impossible to have children, right?”

Suddenly, a question popped into Lu Changsheng’s mind.

Since he rarely left Qingzhu Mountain, he enjoyed reading when he had nothing to do.

The books he read were very diverse, and he remembered seeing in one ancient book that many powerful-looking techniques all had side effects.

For example, after cultivation, one might become infertile, or their personality and mental state might be affected by the technique, and so on.

If there really were such side effects, he would never consider cultivating it.

Without indulging in random thoughts, Lu Changsheng’s mental spirit stirred slightly as he employed the Hundred Refinements Treasure Body Technique.

Immediately.

Information about the Hundred Refinements Treasure Body Technique, including details on cultivation methods and various intricacies, flooded into Lu Changsheng’s mind like an enlightening elixir.

After a long while, Lu Changsheng opened his eyes and let out a long sigh of relief.

This technique was incredibly profound.

If it hadn’t been for the system directly transmitting the technique into his mind for direct comprehension,

even being an Orthodox Level technique, without guidance, it would have been difficult for him to even grasp the basics, let alone fully understand them.

Even if he could comprehend it, cultivating it without guidance would have been very likely to cause problems.

As for the side effects he had initially considered, having now thoroughly understood the Hundred Refinements Treasure Body Technique, he knew he had worried too much.

Orthodox Level cultivation techniques, as the mainstay of the Profound Sect, are grand and majestic.

Aside from the high threshold and difficulty of cultivation, such techniques scarcely come with issues like side effects.

“However, the more powerful the technique, the more difficult it is to cultivate,”

Lu Changsheng couldn’t help but sigh.

The cultivation method of the Hundred Refinements Treasure Body Technique seemed quite straightforward.

One uses heavenly and earthly treasures to refine the body’s flesh, meridians, and bones as if forging a magical treasure.

This process could be done all at once to completely refine the body into a supreme magical treasure, or it could be done gradually, bit by bit.

But to ultimately succeed meant refining the entire body into an indestructible form capable of rivaling heaven-penetrating spiritual treasures.

With every movement of the hands and feet, divine skills would shake the heavens and the earth.

But cultivating this technique was extremely difficult and resource-intensive.

From the beginning of cultivation, one needs to use heavenly and earthly treasures to nourish the body.

Once the body adapts, higher tier treasures are required to temper and forge the physical body.

Step by step, the body advances, capable of comparing to magic artifacts, spiritual artifacts, magical treasures, and heaven-penetrating spiritual treasures!

Throughout this process, not only are resources consumed, but it is also fraught with danger, and one must refrain from being rash and impetuous.

If too aggressive, even the slightest mistake could overwhelm the body’s ability to endure the refinement, leading to physical collapse and demise.

After all, the very act of refining one’s body into various magical treasures is inconceivable and defies the heavens, naturally making the process extremely perilous.

“However, having thoroughly comprehended the Hundred Refinements Treasure Body Technique, as long as I am not impatient and cultivate slowly, there should be no issues,”

“Moreover, although this Hundred Refinements Treasure Body Technique is difficult to cultivate, there is a secret technique within it that allows for shortcuts and faster progression,”

“It’s about directly infusing magical treasures into the body and using them to nourish and build oneself.”

“For an ordinary cultivator, it would be impossible to use magical treasures for body refinement, since even Nascent Soul Immortals usually have only one or two magic artifacts at most.”

“But I have the system, and in the system’s lottery wheel, I can even draw Orthodox Level techniques, and I should also be able to draw magical treasures, maybe even spiritual treasures!”

“If I can draw a magical treasure in the future, and use it to cultivate this Hundred Refinements Treasure Body Technique, I can quickly master it and make swift progress in body refinement.”

Lu Changsheng pondered inwardly with a gleam in his eyes.

Although the technique was difficult and the threshold high,

to Lu Changsheng, it still seemed excellent and very suitable for him.

Without delay, Lu Changsheng left the study and entered the practice room.

He took out a black iron lump the size of a pot lid and attempted to cultivate the Hundred Refinements Treasure Body Technique with it.

This iron lump was the shield magic artifact he had obtained from three Robber Cultivators at Bullhead Mountain.

Under attack from the Talisman Treasure golden brick, the shield was damaged and deformed, all its prohibitions destroyed, and it could only be sold as scrap material.

Yet, this scrap, capable of being used to forge a magic artifact, could still be considered ‘heavenly and earthly treasure.’

Lu Changsheng sat cross-legged, holding the shield, and began to operate the method of the Hundred Refinements Treasure Body Technique.

As spiritual power circulated in his palms, they gradually turned a reddish hue, extracting the essence of the material from the shield magic artifact to nourish his flesh.

The shield was refined using Yin Cold Profound Iron, and as Lu Changsheng drew its essence, he felt strands of chilled Yin energy entering his body.

After cultivating for an hour, Lu Changsheng ceased his practice and exhaled deeply.

“Although I have attained the Qi Refinement Third Level, I have no foundation in body refinement; one hour of cultivation is about enough for now, and extending the time could damage my body.”

“Moreover, the material of this shield is of the metal element and inclined towards cold; if I continue cultivating the Hundred Refinements Treasure Body Technique with only this type of material, it could cause hidden injuries, so it’s best to buy five elemental spiritual materials for a balanced cultivation.”

Lu Changsheng stood up and lightly stretched his limbs.

During the cultivation of body refining techniques, it’s quite easy to inflict wear on the physical body and sustain subtle, unnoticed injuries.

Having thoroughly comprehended the path of the Hundred Refinements Treasure Body Technique, Lu Changsheng naturally knew the most beneficial way to cultivate this technique without harming his body.
