Chapter 21

Body Tempering Breakthrough! Spiritual Material Refinement!

Lu Yun put away his storage bag and walked out of the Spirit Materials Hall.

The setting sun cast its warm glow upon me.

He touched the bulging storage bag.

Two thousand catties of spiritual materials.

If all of them are refined to the intermediate level, they will become two spirit stones.

Human Spiritual Material Purifier: Earning money with your body and time.

This is just like in my past life!

"It's different. It means that I finally have value to the immortal path." Lu Yun shook his head with a smile.

He didn't rush back to the main hall, but quickly returned to the stone chamber first.

I closed the door, sat cross-legged on the futon, and let my thoughts sink into my mind.

[Lingtai Guanji: Sacred Blood Tempering Technique (Beginner 99/100)]

"Let's break through first."

Lu Yun took out the last Qi-Nourishing Pill and put it in his mouth.

Skillfully refine the medicinal power using true methods.

Then, he circulated the Body Tempering Technique to nourish his physical body.

The flesh and blood were trembling.

Spiritual energy surged into my limbs and bones like a tide.

After three cycles, the bottleneck was broken through.

【Holy Blood Tempering Technique (First Class 1/100)】

After the breakthrough, one's blood and energy are abundant and vigorous, and one seems to have inexhaustible energy.

However, the effects of the Peiyuan Pill were consumed very quickly this time.

The physical body yearns for a breakthrough, the dantian yearns for recovery, and the true methods are constantly being refined.

It was completely digested in just one hour.

After washing his body, Lu Yun condensed a water mirror and pinched his strong and refined physique.

He nodded with satisfaction.

"In the mortal realm, this would be considered a physical achievement of the Innate Realm."

In the cultivation world, this is considered the first level of body refinement.

There wasn't time to appreciate it much.

He got dressed and walked towards the Chengfa Hall again.

Just by looking at that stone tablet, you can increase your progress by a little bit every hour.

We cannot waste it.

Now that I've broken through to the first level of Body Refinement, I can endure for a little longer.

While looking at the stone tablet, he circulated the "True Method of Purification and Turbidity" to cleanse the minerals.

The stele for inheriting the Dharma was only displayed for seven days, after which it was removed.

......

"Lu Yun is back just as it gets dark!"

Inside the Hall of Cultivation, many cultivators groaned inwardly.

We were hoping he could get some rest.

Especially after seeing Lu Yun sit down and take out the ore to begin refining it.

The wailing in my heart grew even louder.

"He's already started refining the ore?"

"Didn't you just break through? Don't you want to take a break?"

"Is this person really not tired? How can his internal energy recover so quickly?" someone muttered.

Their anxiety intensified.

It's like pursuing the same goddess; while you're still buying breakfast, she's already reached the top.

How can I keep my composure?

They would only shovel a couple of bites into their food before rushing off to the Chengfa Hall.

Continue to comprehend the true Dharma.

Those scions of prominent families no longer enjoyed their former ease and leisure.

They quickly finished their spiritual meal.

He stared at the Chengfa Stele as if he wanted to crack it open.

Lu Yun ignored them and continued to circulate the "Purification and Turbidity True Method" at his own pace.

The foul air inside the ore was more than ten times stronger than that inside the physical body.

The turbid air permeating the world is like wisps of mist.

The turbid air inside the ore condenses directly into air masses.

"Turbid air rises from the earth."

Lu Yunming realized, "The minerals have been buried deep underground for many years, which is why they contain so much impurity. They are not clear and are therefore unusable."

He circulated the "True Method of Purification and Turbidity," repeatedly using his true energy to cleanse the minerals.

One week.

Ten pounds of refined gold ore can only dispel about 30% of the turbid air.

"It's really hard work," he sighed.

A ten-pound ore ingot will take about four days to refine.

That is, one hour.

"Even if you refine it for ten hours a day, you can only get a hundred catties of low-grade spiritual materials."

"It takes five days to earn one spirit crystal. That's less than one spirit stone a month..."

Lu Yun did the calculations again.

Now I roughly understand why Uncle Shen was living such a stressful life.

If you can refine it to the intermediate level, you can earn three spirit stones a month.

The premise is that you wash for ten hours a day.

"You still need to get a top-tier rating, learn the 'Hundred Refinements Technique,' and become a weapon refiner apprentice."

Lu Yun faced reality and decided to put those things aside for the time being.

During these seven days, I will do my best to improve the "True Method of Purifying and Purifying".

Looking at the Chengfa Stele, there's only one word: Do it.

He can gain five progress points for refining a piece of ore in one hour.

It's a little more than just idling.

In addition, I watched the Chengfa Stele the whole time.

It can increase the progress by six points in one hour.

"Two days."

Lu Yun estimated that "it would take two days to get into the first class."

As night falls, the Third Examination Hall is exceptionally lively tonight.

It was midnight.

The Chengfa Hall was still brightly lit.

Most of the cultivators are still there, numbering six or seven hundred.

no way.

As soon as Lu Yun sat down, none of the young masters from the aristocratic families relaxed.

"He just won't leave, are we just going to keep going like this?" a scion of a prominent family complained in a low voice.

They dared not leave if no one else was leaving, as there were too many children from each family, making internal competition even fiercer; they were all groomed from a young age.

Even the scions of prominent families are working so hard.

The independent cultivators have no reason not to work hard.

Midnight has passed, and the moon is high in the sky.

The second person to have entered the "True Method of Purification and Turbidity" has appeared.

Feng Jian in the first row.

Suddenly, wisps of grayish-white mist appeared on his body.

"It's done!"

"Brother Feng has succeeded!"

The young men from prominent families in the front row stirred with excitement, ready to celebrate.

"It's done! It's finally done!"

"Brother Feng truly deserves to be the chosen leader of the Immortal Hall by the Feng family!"

"Even those who master the basics within three days have a good chance of achieving Grade A!"

The sound grew louder and louder.

Lu Yun frowned: "If you want to offer your congratulations, go outside. Don't bother others."

His voice wasn't loud, but he spoke each word clearly.

"You've only just entered the true path; someone who doesn't know better would think you've reached the Foundation Establishment stage."

The hall fell silent instantly.

The faces of those scions of noble families turned pale and then flushed.

But they couldn't refute what Lu Yun said.

This person was the first to enter the sect, and given that he had a Foundation Establishment Token, they dared not confront him.

They can't win an argument with reason, and they can't fight back either.

"You're only in the lead temporarily."

Feng Jian's expression also turned sour, and he retorted, "It's still too early to tell who will emerge victorious."

"Let's see who can refine themselves into a mid-level spiritual talent first."

"Want to bet ten spirit stones?"

Lu Yun glanced at him sideways. "No, twenty spirit stones."

He glanced at the hydrangea in his mind.

[Observing Oneself from the Spiritual Platform: The True Method of Purification and Impurity (Introduction 36/100)]

He is confident that his liver will be fully developed by tomorrow, and he will definitely become a mid-level spiritual material.

"Gambling addict!"

Beside Feng Jian, a female cultivator in green robes snorted.

"The third rule of the Feng family precepts prohibits any member of the family from participating in any form of gambling or fighting."

Feng Jian was initially somewhat tempted, but upon hearing this, he gave up.

He ignored Lu Yun.

Lu Yun sighed, deciding not to fall for it.

After spending these days getting to know them, he discovered that these scions of prominent families were not stupid.

They were all as cunning as monkeys.

After realizing that Lu Yun was not someone to be trifled with, everyone exercised restraint, and no one dared to recklessly offend him.

Even Wang Yue, who hated him to the core, held back.

Basically, he has a very good temperament.

Of the scions of prominent families in the first three rows today, not a single one has left.

Most of the independent cultivators on the outskirts have already left.

Even the most delicate little girl beside Hou Jianxing has persevered until now.

The only way to deal with them is through absolute military force.

In fact it does.

The robes these people wore and the storage bags at their waists were all made of rolled-up medals.

Those who lost the betting game all stayed home, married, had children, and worked hard to expand their families.

They don't even have the qualifications to come to the Immortal Hall.

Feng Jian's entry into the family was like opening Pandora's box.

Following closely behind, Hou Jianxing's sister also mastered the "True Method of Purification and Turbidity".

"I did it too!"

The little girl gasped in surprise and then covered her mouth.

But the surprise in his eyes was undeniable.

It was the hour of Chou (1-3 AM).

Another scion of a prominent family joined the sect, also becoming a cultivator in the first row.

The closer you are to the stele, the better the effect.

At this point, the scions of noble families could no longer hold on.

Having turned the tide, they gradually left the Chengfa Hall and returned to their stone houses to wash up and go to sleep.

Then some well-rested people came in and sat in the front row to learn.

That night.

The lights inside the Chengfa Hall never dimmed, creating a stark contrast to the scattered lights of yesterday.

It all stemmed from that figure sitting cross-legged like a mountain in front of the central stele.

Wisps of stale air rose from his hands, like a tireless sculpture.

The morning of the third day.

With the opening of the Daoist essence of the Inheritance Stele, five more cultivators entered the "Purification and Turbidity True Method".

This included four scions of prominent families, including Wang Yue.

There was only one rogue cultivator.

Coincidentally, Lu Yun knew this person.

Hong Bao.
