Cultivating the Extreme Yin Body Refining Technique

Chapter 173 Cultivating the Extreme Yin Body Refining Technique (Part Two)

Since it was still early, Chen Miao then considered the time allocation for nourishing Yin.

Chen Miao originally intended to nourish Yin in different orifices at different times of the day, but later thought that this was too troublesome and slow to take effect.

After all, it's not like you can gain the corresponding abilities just by having an epiphany; you also need to cultivate your Yin to a certain degree first.

Otherwise, all Chen Miao would have gained was the ability to draw upon Yin energy after entering the Yin realm.

Chen Miao doesn't need this ability at all.

Therefore, regardless of the circumstances, Chen Miao must first choose an acupoint to nourish Yin and then activate the corresponding ability.

That is the kind of valuable insight.

After much deliberation, Chen Miao selected four acupoints as the first batch of Yin-nourishing targets.

These are the ghost vein on the right little finger, the ghost bridge below the tongue, the yin-yang eyes, and the yin orifice on the top of the head.

Needless to say, the Ghost Vein and Ghost Bridge enhance the ability to draw talismans, while the other may enhance the "Six Techniques of Descending Truth".

As for the ability to see ghosts, it was meant to reduce Chen Miao's reliance on "Notes on Becoming a God in the Mundane World" and decrease the frequency of his reading.

The reason Chen Miao had the Heavenly Spirit Yin Aperture on his head was simply because he had developed a fear of illusions like being trapped in a maze after experiencing Fengmen Village.

Having cultivated the Heavenly Spirit Yin Aperture, even if one lacks the ability to cast illusions, one should still possess some resistance to illusions.

That's why he placed the Heavenly Spirit Yin Aperture in the first batch.

The reason why the Yin Well point on the navel, the Ghost Gate point on the left foot, and the Yin Shu point on the spine were not included in the first batch is still due to supply and demand.

The Yin Well in the navel allows Chen Miao to store more Yin energy than others.

However, Chen Miao has nine orifices. Even if there is a lot of yin energy in the Yin Well, when he switches acupoints, the other acupoints can only hold that little bit of yin energy, so it is useless.

As for raising Yin Sha in the Yin Well, Chen Miao didn't even know what Yin Sha was or how to raise it.
The left foot's ghost gate can draw in earth energy and bring earth evil into the leg, but Chen Miao also doesn't know what its use is.

The spinal artery allows Chen Miao to gain flexible limb control and the ability to sense and control blood flow.

Chen Miao now prefers a longer-range approach when facing enemies.

Most of the time, the "Six Techniques of Subduing the True Ones" is used first, followed by talismans. The peach wood sword is generally only used when there is no other way or when there is no danger.

Therefore, physical dexterity is useful to Chen Miao, but not very useful.

However, it is still better than the Ghost Gate and the Yin Well.

Chen Miao also couldn't think of any use for manipulating and sensing blood.

As for the final heart cave and perineum life-and-death acupoint.

Of these two, the increased strength of the Heart Yin Cave should have put it on the same level as the Spinal Yin Pivot, but the problem is that Chen Miao also has the Extreme Yin Body Refining Technique.

Without a doubt, the Body Refining Technique will definitely improve Chen Miao's physical attributes, and increasing his strength will not be a problem.

As for recovery ability, the "Extreme Yin Body Refining Technique" does not provide any bonus in this regard, but it is not worth opening the Heart Yin Cave just for the sake of recovery ability.

Then there's the Huiyin acupoint, also known as the "life-or-death" point.

Chen Miao didn't understand the power of this technique; it felt somewhat mysterious and enigmatic.

Chen Miao thought it was a bit of an exaggeration that one could not die from a ruptured heart.

Even if it were true, Chen Miao didn't believe that simply cultivating Yin in this acupoint from the beginning would grant him such an ability.

Therefore, Chen Miao planned to save this trick for last.

After making the arrangements, Chen Miao then made some selections regarding the first batch.

Finally, it was decided to first nourish the Yin Bridge under the tongue, then the Yin-Yang Eyes, followed by the Yin Acupoint of the Heavenly Spirit, and finally the Ghost Vein of the right hand.

Chen Miao's ability to draw talismans is sufficient for now; there's no need to rush to improve it.

On the contrary, the enhancement of the "Six Secrets of Subduing Truth" should be mentioned first.

Strengthening the "Six Secrets of Subduing Truth" means reducing the consumption of Yin virtue, so it is very necessary to put the Yin Bridge under the tongue first.

The order of Yin-Yang Eyes and Heavenly Spirit Yin Aperture doesn't matter; it's just that Chen Miao is more curious about Yin-Yang Eyes because of Xiaobai.

Having made his decision, Chen Miao directly stuffed the Yin energy under his tongue.

After the Yin Bridge was filled with Yin energy, there was a cool, refreshing feeling under my tongue.

After the matter of nourishing Yin came to an end, Chen Miao glanced at the time.

Ten p.m.

There's still some time before bedtime.

So he took out his talisman-drawing tools and began to draw talismans!
An hour later, a spirit-suppressing talisman was successfully drawn.

Chen Miao originally wanted to use the Yin energy in his orifice to draw talismans, but the amount of Yin energy in his orifice was too small, so Chen Miao had to keep replenishing Yin energy in his orifice to sustain himself.

Adding an extra step makes it less effective than Chen Miao's Yin absorption method.

Chen Miao immediately abandoned the idea of ​​using the Yin energy in his orifices to draw talismans.

After I've nurtured the ghost vein in my right little finger, I'll try drawing talismans again.

After putting away the spirit-suppressing talisman, Chen Miao glanced at the time: 11:10 PM.

"We can begin now."

Chen Miao moved the chairs and other things in the room to make room for himself.

After activating the Yin Absorption Technique and gathering a wave of Yin energy in the room, Chen Miao began practicing the movements from the Extreme Yin Body Refining Technique.

This set of movements is somewhat similar to Tai Chi, both emphasizing slowness.

However, once you've struck the pose, you need to hold it still for one minute.

At first, Chen Miao didn't feel anything, but when he started doing it a second time, he found that with each movement, the corresponding part of his body began to feel a cool sensation.

It's like wearing ill-fitting clothes in autumn, and feeling your exposed skin being exposed to the autumn wind.

After Chen Miao closed his eyes, he also sensed the situation of the Yin Qi particles.

During the minute that each movement is held, different parts of the body will absorb a small amount of yin energy particles.

These yin energy particles did not disappear after entering Chen Miao's body, but instead gathered in various parts of his body.

As Chen Miao completed the third repetition of the "Extreme Yin Body Refining Technique," he noticed a slight blue tinge appearing on the lines of the human body in his perception.

"Three times should be enough. Try it tomorrow morning and see if you need to increase it."

The "Extreme Yin Body Refining Technique" suggests that the first time you practice it, you should not do it too many times; five times is sufficient.

Chen Miao became more cautious and reduced the number of attempts by two.

Thirty minutes had passed since the three body-refining techniques were completed.

"One round takes ten minutes. The 'Extreme Yin Body Refining Technique' says that you can practice it a maximum of ten times a day, which is a hundred minutes. Including rest time, you can finish the body refining in two hours, which is not bad."

"In that case, the time spent drawing talismans will probably be reduced in the future."

"Fortunately, my talisman drawing skills have been improved to the proficient level, and I can make one talisman in an hour."

"In this way, the accumulation speed of talismans remains unchanged, but an extra body tempering time is gained."

"That's not bad. It seems that proficiency is also a very important factor if you want to learn multiple miscellaneous skills at the same time."

Back at his desk, Chen Miao wrote down his thoughts in his notebook.

Then I went to my bedroom to sleep.

……

At five o'clock in the morning, Chen Miao was woken up by his alarm clock.

After lingering on the bed for five seconds, Chen Miao got up and waited in the bedroom in his pajamas.

As dawn broke, Chen Miao completed the movements from the "Extreme Yin Body Refining Technique".

The movements don't need to be changed; they're similar to a horse stance.

All he needed to do was persist until the few minutes of rising Yang energy were over, and he would be considered successful. Chen Miao had only completed the body-refining exercises for half a minute when a wave of intense heat appeared around him.

After achieving the state of Yin gathering, Chen Miao could sense this intense heat every day when Yang energy rose.

But this intense heat had nothing to do with Chen Miao before, and it would disappear quickly after it appeared.

This time was different; Chen Miao waved as if he had encountered a taxi.

After the intense heat subsided, it penetrated directly into every part of the body.

At first, Chen Miao only felt a heat coming from all parts of his body, just like the feeling of taking a hot bath.

Although Chen Miao broke out in a sweat instantly, he didn't experience the pain he had imagined.

Just as Chen Miao was wondering if he hadn't practiced enough, he felt a sharp, spasmodic pain in his body.

It's not just one place, but all parts of the body, including the limbs.

Every location that absorbed yin energy was convulsing.

Chen Miao thought he could hold it in, but in less than ten seconds, he collapsed to the ground and began to convulse.

If it weren't for Bing Xin's support, Chen Miao would have already shouted it out.

Fortunately, after falling to the ground, his posture changed, and the yang energy stopped rushing into his body, so the pain began to subside.

Five minutes later, Chen Miao got up from the ground.

Turning to look at the ground, I saw a watermark shaped like a human, and the clothes were soaked through.

Fortunately, my uncle used to treat the funeral home as his home, and there was even a shower in the toilet.

After taking a quick shower in the bathroom, Chen Miao left the bedroom and sat down on the sofa in the office.

Recalling the pain he had just experienced, Chen Miao still couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine.

This is only three times. What would happen if it were five times as the compiler said?
And you can practice up to ten times!

Sure enough, the items placed alongside the "Extreme Yin Corpse Refining Technique" were equally perverse.

Can an average person really withstand that kind of pain?
Although the "Extreme Yin Body Refining Technique" does not actually turn people into corpses, it does treat people as corpses during the training process.

"Take your time. Next time, let's practice twice... no, once."

"It's okay if it takes a while to see results."

After glancing at the time, Chen Miao couldn't fall asleep either.

Although it was only a little past five o'clock, in reality, guests would arrive at the funeral home as early as six o'clock. These guests were cutting in line to have their first offerings made.

Funeral homes typically open at 8:00 AM.

Some people care about being the first person cremated, just like wanting to be the first to burn incense.

There are quite a few people like that.

Having not been to the library for a while, Chen Miao took a book and prepared to take a walk around the library.

Before six o'clock, some people in the building were already up, while others were still awake.

The one who wasn't asleep was Qi Hui, the night shift gatekeeper at the East Gate. His big black dog, Heizi, had become hostile towards Chen Miao again after not seeing him for a few days, but Heizi was very obedient to Qi Hui.

This made Chen Miao want to get a dog of his own.

The one who was already up was Lao Yu, the pyrotechnician.

When Chen Miao saw Lao Yu, Lao Yu was carrying the bucket of 'accumulated' ashes, preparing to scatter them by the Shuangling River.

When he saw Chen Miao, Lao Yu hesitated for a moment and even asked Chen Miao if he wanted his ashes.

Chen Miao still had the adipocere he had made last time, so he didn't want it.

Watching Lao Yu's departing figure, Chen Miao thought of Xiao Bai.

Actually, besides Chen Miao and Li Fu, Xiao Bai didn't mind Lao Yu at the funeral home.

But Lao Yu was different from Li Fu; he didn't seem to like children very much, so in the end, Xiao Bai always stayed with Li Fu.

Another early riser in the museum was Li Fu.

While Chen Miao was checking the situation inside the facility, Li Fu was practicing boxing outside the cold storage.

This was the first time Chen Miao had gotten up so early, and it was also the first time he had seen Li Fu practice boxing.

It's not the Tai Chi, Baduanjin, or Wuqinxi that ordinary old men and women practice, but a set of boxing techniques similar to military boxing.

Although Li Fu was in his late sixties or early seventies, he gave Chen Miao the feeling of being in his forties or fifties when he did the exercises.

It's hard to imagine how formidable this set of military boxing would have been in Li Fu's prime.

When Li Fu saw Chen Miao, he simply nodded without saying a word.

After walking around the funeral home, it was already dawn.

Not long after Chen Miao returned to his office, Shi Manman brought him breakfast.

After eating, Chen Miao thought about the decision he had made before, so he turned on his computer, edited a text, and then printed it out.

[Notice on the Trial Implementation of the New Plan for Suspending Body Circulation at Tianmen Funeral Home]

To meet the needs of families facing financial hardship, a new temporary mortuary service is being offered, in addition to cold storage. This service is priced at one-tenth of the cold storage fee and can last up to seven days. This service is only available to families in need; if a customer using this service has already undergone any services at the funeral home other than cremation, they will be considered not to be in financial difficulty.

Those with official proof of financial hardship, or who are family members of martyrs, can enjoy this benefit with priority.

[This plan is on a trial basis and can only accept a maximum of two customers. We apologize for any inconvenience.]

After reading it once, Chen Miao put the paper aside, planning to post it at the front desk, cold storage, and other locations after the front desk staff started work.

Subsequently, Chen Miao found the WeChat account of the coffin maker and ordered two cypress coffins.

The reason for creating this plan and purchasing the cypress coffin was, of course, to teach the art of slowly sewing corpses.

Although the requirements for coffin-sewing techniques are less stringent than those for other corpse-sewing techniques, a corpse is still necessary.

It's impossible for Chen Miao to move the deceased to a different location without consulting the family's wishes.

That's why this solution came about.

In this way, they can help families in financial difficulty while also achieving their goal of performing the art of sewing corpses.

After finishing this task, Chen Miao began his formal work.

Chen Miao didn't finish his work until 3 p.m.

So he took out the piece of paper that Zhong Cai had given him, which contained the secret technique of locking the Yang in the Heavenly Heart.

The Heavenly Heart Locking Yang Secret Technique is indeed not very difficult. Chen Miao only needs to draw a specially made talisman, then burn the talisman, mix the ashes with cinnabar to make special ink, and draw a vertical line on the center of his eyebrows.

The vertical lines can be erased after ten minutes. This process needs to be done every day for forty-nine days.

Thus, the Heavenly Heart Locking Yang Secret Technique was completed, and there was no need for Chen Miao to do anything further.

In the future, some of the yang energy that will unknowingly dissipate from his body will be locked in the space between his eyebrows, and three years later, the Heavenly Heart Fire will be formed.

During this period, the Heavenly Heart Locking Yang Secret Technique was of no use.

If Chen Miao hadn't witnessed Zhong Cai using the Heavenly Heart Fire, he might have hesitated to attempt the Heavenly Heart Locking Yang Secret Technique due to its long cycle.

Knowing this, Chen Miao naturally wouldn't underestimate him.

Chen Miao even thought that if he could lock it up for fifty years and still not use the flame before he died, then he would find an opportunity to find a BOSS and show off!
Time flies.

Seven days later, Qi Ning contacted Chen Miao to discuss the aftermath of the Fengmen Village incident and the distribution of points.

Another matter is that Wei Yang, a Class C investigator in Shannan City, wants to invite Chen Miao to join the Investigation Bureau and become a formal investigator.

Chen Miao gave a clear refusal to answer this question.

Compared to the invitation to become a Class C investigator, Chen Miao was more concerned about the points he received and what he could redeem for them.
