Chapter 2 Body Refinement(1/2)
The environment in the North is extremely harsh.
People in previous lives may die immediately after leaving the village!
A child of seven or eight years old in this world has the power of an adult in his previous life.
When he grew up, he could do all decathlon in his previous life.
With such physical fitness, once you leave the village, the biggest threat comes from the cold weather.
Without the village protection formation, the Northland would not be able to survive at all.
Some family elders said that maybe considering the environment here, the legendary big man passed down a body-training technique [Physical Tempering Technique].
It has a very simple name, but it is one of the most widely circulated exercises.
However, it is relative that it is widely spread. It is only spread among some practicing families, and it is also a core skill of the family.
Body training does not require the guidance of spirits, and this is the only body-training method owned by the Xu family.
When Xu Yi was taught this skill, just like when he was given the spirit refining skill, he swore an oath not to spread the spirit.
Everyone believes that even if they cannot refine spirits, everyone has spirituality, which is the fundamental reason for human existence.
The Oath of Collapse of Souls is an oath made to spirituality. Even if you search for souls, you cannot get the content protected by the oath, which makes the technique even more precious.
Xu Yi initially thought that [Body Tempering Technique] was just like the legendary martial arts secrets in his previous life, but when he started practicing, he realized that there was a huge difference.
With his current physical fitness, he can grapple and fight at will. In his previous life, he was a martial arts master, and he could even fly over walls and walls.
But he couldn't leave Leping Village too far, otherwise he might freeze to death on the way out of the village and back to the village.
Xu Yi was literate when he was a child, and he also read the spiritual refining techniques of his clan.
But the seemingly simple [Body Tempering Technique] is actually obscure and difficult to understand.
In just a few thousand words, it not only explains the cultivation and requirements of several stages in the body tempering, but also describes some of the moves in the body tempering stage, as well as some descriptions of how to enter the body tempering stage.
Through the two exercises, Xu Yi gained a little understanding of the two cultivation systems in this world.
Spirit-refining monks are what people usually call monks. After successfully attracting spirits, you can easily become a spirit-refining monk.
What monks cultivate is spiritual power, and the Xu family is a spiritual refining family.
Body-refining monks cultivate their own bodies.
If you successfully advance to the body refining stage, you will be invincible at the same level, and can even fight across levels.
With a population of several thousand in the Xu family, there is no requirement for the [Body Tempering Technique] to attract spirits.
After so many years, not a single person has advanced to the body refining stage, which shows how difficult body refining is.
The next stage of the spirit refining stage is the foundation building stage.
It was also at this stage that monks became somewhat immortal, and several families in Linghai Town were foundation-building families.
The next stage of the body refining stage is the Kaiyuan stage. Compared with the monks, they can still be invincible at the same level.
There is only one sentence in [Body Tempering Technique], but after that, I don’t know the realm of body training.
[Body Tempering Technique] Although it is not as demanding as the spirit refiner's on how to attract spirits, it does have very high requirements on itself.
You must not only have a strong will, but also be able to endure things that ordinary people cannot endure before you can get started.
The body tempering stage is to continuously nourish Qi and blood, and then start to refine skin, flesh, and muscles.
After completing the skin refining training, [Body Tempering Technique] can be regarded as an introduction.
The completion of meat refining marks the completion of body tempering.
When the meat is completely refined, the body is tempered to perfection.
There is no distinction between great and small achievements and perfection in Jinjin training. Getting started means perfection and also means perfecting the body.
Xu Yi began to learn the [Body Tempering Technique] at the age of eight, nourishing Qi and blood for three years, and started skin refining at the age of eleven.
For the next three years, I continued to temper my skin in the wind and snow outside the village every day.
If you have the opportunity, you may also want to soak some common medicinal herbs that have restorative properties.
After starting the leather refining process.
Every night, my body feels like thousands of ants crawling on it.
He almost gave up at the beginning.
I accidentally communicated with people in my clan who had practiced [Body Tempering Technique] and the pain they suffered was even worse.
He once thought that this was his golden finger for rebirth, which made him grit his teeth and persevere.
As long as he succeeds in practicing the [Body Tempering Technique], he will have the opportunity to leave Leping Village and see the world.
He found that the pain he suffered was not as painful as the tribesmen described.
Many people in the tribe gave up here because they felt like they were being eaten by thousands of ants.
And even if you give up, you will still feel this way for a long time to come.
This torture will only disappear when the effect of skin refining completely disappears and the person regresses to the time before skin refining was carried out.
If the skin refining is completed but cannot progress further, this kind of torture will be with you forever.
There were people in the clan who practiced [Body Tempering Technique] to the point of perfecting the Skin Refining Technique. After that, they could not make any further progress, and they ended their lives not long after because they could not bear the pain of being eaten by thousands of ants.
Only when the skin refining is complete will the feeling of being eaten by thousands of ants disappear completely.
It wasn't until Xu Yi was fifteen that he completed the skin refining process and completed the first step in getting started with the [Body Tempering Technique].
The elders of the clan saw the results of Xu Yi's cultivation.
He took on the resources borrowed from his acquaintances for him.
Such as some common medicinal materials, some animal bones and meat and other resources.
Moreover, the clan will also bear part of the resources for future cultivation.
Finally last year, Xu Yi used his own accumulation and the resources of his clan to get started in meat refining.
When he reaches a small level of meat refining, the [Body Tempering Technique] will also reach a small level of success.
But the pain of refining meat also comes with it, which is even more painful than refining skin.
Even though Xu Yi had been tempered by skin refining for many years, he could barely hold on.
Every trace of flesh is repeatedly torn and healed in the body every day.
At the same time, you cannot use coma to block this pain.
But Xu Yi also understood that as long as the meat refining was completed, this pain would end.
Only by enduring hardship can one become a superior person.
Now, he has reaped the benefits of being a master.
The cold outside the village no longer posed a threat to him.
I finally had the power to protect myself.
Moreover, the speed outside the village is as fast as the wind, and particularly alert snowshoe hares can occasionally be caught.
Now, his resources for nourishing Qi and blood and refining meat began to slowly keep up.
It not only speeds up the progress of his meat refining, but also occasionally improves the food of the people around him.
When the clan knew that he was getting started in meat refining and was about to reach the level of [Body Tempering Technique], they made him a member of the family tree for the first time.
He is the only member of the Xu family who has not entered the spirit refining stage and entered the family tree in many years.
Last year it was a big event that caused a sensation in the entire Leping Village.
At that time, the Xu family held a solemn ceremony in the ancestral hall and entered Xu Yi's name into the family tree according to generation.
As a monk family, it has been passed down to the current patriarch Xu Guanshan for the sixth generation.
Xu Faxuan, the ancestor of the Xu family, is the fifth generation.
When he arrived at Xu Yi, he became the first seventh-generation member of the family, and his name was changed to Xu Taiyi and entered into the family tree.
Legend has it that the ancestor of the family is the descendant of the Xu family. On a broken stele, he saw "Look down on the universe, the Dharma view is supreme, all the wisdom comes true, and the Dao is ready for death." It seems to imply the true meaning of the great road, so it became the family name.
inheritance.
I also hope to grow the Xu family and go further on the road of cultivation.
After entering the family tree, Xu Yi was a little uncomfortable with the sudden change of name to Xu Taiyi.
At that time, the second elder Xu Guanhai seemed to notice Xu Yi's discomfort.
"Xu Yi, you have entered the family tree as "Tai", but I can still call you by your original name. This does not affect you, don't worry."
Xu Guanhai continued.
"There is no need to call me elder. From now on, everyone who has entered the main branch of the genealogy is also the elder of the family. I am your clan uncle. You can call me second uncle."
Next, the second elder Xu Guanhai also introduced several current people in the family who have entered the genealogy.
