Chapter 92, First Level: Visualizing the Five Crystal Divine Iron
"As long as I can cultivate the first layer of the Five-Crystal Glazed Body, it will be enough to meet the physical requirements when I am about to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage... This is it. Who knows, I might actually have the opportunity to find a fifth-grade spiritual material in the future!"

Bai Zichen finally managed to select a few more volumes, recounting his experiences and insights on various problems encountered during the cultivation of the Five Crystal Glazed Body.

Compared to the lengthy explanations of basic cultivation techniques, there are very few insightful accounts that truly reveal the secrets of cultivation.

From the perspective of a normal cultivator, as long as one can successfully enter the path, subsequent cultivation will be a natural process.

"Some people like Master Ge can complete the cultivation in half a year, while others take two or three years... They don't need to hone their physical body step by step. This cultivation method is truly miraculous."

Bai Zichen carried the five volumes of annotations to the elder on duty at the Transmission Hall and made a request to inherit and borrow the cultivation techniques.

“Five-Crystal Glazed Body… Junior Nephew Bai, are you sure you want to choose this body-refining technique? True disciples can only choose one technique from the three levels of the Transmission Hall within three years, so don’t waste this opportunity.”

Today's duty elder, Zhou Suqing, is an elderly woman with a full head of silver hair, and she is quite famous among the elders of Qingfeng Sect.

Zhou Suqing was a cultivation prodigy. Born into a displaced family, she was not discovered to have spiritual roots until she was over twenty years old and was introduced into a sect. She successfully established her foundation before she was forty.

He was an avid reader, a master of all kinds of magic, and even created his own Qi cultivation technique, which was accepted into the first floor of the Transmission Hall.

Unfortunately, he was not good at fighting, and could even be described as a fighting idiot. He couldn't even suppress others with his cultivation level. He was once forced to a draw by a Qi Refining Grand Perfection cultivator when he was in the early stage of Foundation Establishment.

However, his path was smooth, and he broke through to the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment more than 20 years ago.

"If you only want to strengthen your physique and improve your tendons and marrow, I will find you a body-refining technique at the second level, which is sufficient for the Qi Refining stage."

"Confirmed. Don't worry, Uncle Zhou, I won't spend too much time on the Five Crystal Glass Body. I know what I'm doing."

Bai Zichen knew that this was out of concern for him, but he certainly wouldn't spend too much time on this body-refining technique.

"Since you insist on choosing, then so be it... I won't say any more. You are a smart disciple, and I believe you won't go astray on your path."

Zhou Suqing sighed, knowing that gifted disciples often felt they were different from others and were full of confidence, so she didn't try to persuade them any further.

"This jade slip contains the complete Five Crystalline Glass Body. You can learn it here."

Bai Zichen did as instructed, and a massive amount of information surged into his mind, leaving the jade slip in his hand blank.

Clearly, this is a specially crafted, one-time-use jade slip for inheritance.

As for the annotations on the cultivation techniques, as a true disciple, you can borrow and take them away directly, just remember to return them within one year.

What was displayed were only rubbings; the originals were stored in a vast underground palace beneath the Hall of Transmission, where an array isolated them from air and moisture, preserving the scrolls to the greatest extent possible.

Back at the Moon-Locking Pool, he instructed Su Lie that no matter how important the matter, he was not to be disturbed, and then went back to his own quiet room.

Even though she had moved to the Moon Locking Pool two years ago, every time she returned to the quiet room, she was still amazed by the pure third-order spiritual energy, and felt that the magic power she had refined was full of vitality.

Therefore, unless something major happens, Bai Zichen has been spending more and more time in the Jingshi room these past two years.

"The Five Crystal Glass Body is such a grand name, described in such mysterious terms, that it even claims that once cultivated to its peak, one can move mountains and overturn seas with just the physical body... I want to see where the mystery lies."

This technique has stumped generations of cultivators in the Qingfeng Sect, yet countless people still choose to cultivate it, proving that the Five Crystal Glazed Body must have something extraordinary about it.

Bai Zichen was also eager to know the difference between this mysterious method of simultaneous practice and normal body-refining techniques.

You must know that among so many cultivators, there are many truly exceptional talents who are far superior to him, a pseudo-genius. Now, everyone in the sect regards him as one of the most talented disciples of the Qingfeng Sect in this generation, but they know in their hearts that without the blessing of a spiritual body, he can only be considered an average person with some talent in swordsmanship.

A recent example is, of course, Ancestor Ge Cang, who, with his wood-type celestial spiritual root aptitude, broke a series of youngest records without any suspense from the day he entered the sect.

A cultivator in the mid-stage of Core Formation who is less than two hundred years old would be highly regarded anywhere in the Liang Kingdom.

Even the Supreme Elder of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect praised him for having the potential to reach the Nascent Soul stage.

Even the incredibly talented Ancestor Ge Cang took six years to master the first level of the Five Crystal Glazed Body, and left behind the comment for Qi Refining disciples to cultivate diligently.

"The first level requires using the Five Crystal Divine Iron as a reference and verification until a piece of Five Crystal Divine Iron can be condensed in the sea of ​​consciousness that will not dissipate for a long time. Once you have entered the first level, even if you do not cultivate deliberately, your physical body will gradually strengthen and possess traces of the characteristics of the Five Crystal Divine Iron."

After reading the first level of the technique, Bai Zichen was indeed completely confused. Why could condensing five crystal divine irons in his sea of ​​consciousness temper his physical body?

Logically speaking, one involves the divine consciousness and the other involves the physical body; they are completely unrelated.

"However, it feels somewhat similar to the Divine Forging Technique... That technique for training one's divine sense requires constructing a furnace within one's sea of ​​consciousness to continuously temper oneself."

Bai Zichen inexplicably thought of another of his own cultivation techniques, which he could now instantly draw the Heaven and Earth Furnace, lasting for about half an incense stick's time.

Within the first level of cultivation technique inherited from the jade slip, there is an image of a small mountain-sized Five Crystal Divine Iron, with five kinds of spiritual light flashing alternately, forming an eerie color.

Upon closer inspection, the interior of this Five-Crystal Divine Iron appears to be composed of grains of sand, albeit extremely condensed, so much so that only with strained eyesight can one barely discern a few details.

But after staring at it for only a few breaths, he felt a sense of mental fatigue, and the image of the Five Crystal Divine Iron became illusory and receded.

"My spiritual energy is being depleted so quickly!"

Bai Zichen said in horror.

His spiritual strength already surpassed that of many early Foundation Establishment cultivators, yet he felt exhausted after observing the Five Crystal Divine Iron image for only a short while.

No wonder it's not recommended for Qi Refining disciples to cultivate it. Without divine sense, how can one possibly perceive the mysteries of the Five Crystal Divine Iron with just a pair of naked eyes? It's perfectly normal to linger outside the gate for ten or twenty years.

Having experience in cultivating the Divine Forging Technique, he was highly adaptable to it. He no longer forced himself to observe, but instead attempted to condense the Five-Crystal Divine Iron for the first time.

A tiny, indistinct grain of five-crystal divine iron was vaguely generated in the sea of ​​consciousness, also with five-colored spiritual light flowing around it. Although it was only the size of a grain of rice, it still looked quite presentable in appearance.

But it only lasted for a moment before the Five Crystal Divine Iron cracked open like sandstorm, turning into scattered light fragments.

"There is a door!"

Despite failing to condense the image the first time, Bai Zichen was not discouraged. Instead, he rested for a while and then summoned the original Five Crystal Divine Iron image again to visualize and refer to it.

He soon discovered that drawing the Five Crystal Divine Iron in his mind was far more taxing on his spirit than drawing the Heaven and Earth Furnace back then.

With his spiritual strength, after three or four times, a deep sense of weariness welled up within him.

Bai Zichen knew this was a warning of his depleted spiritual energy, and that deliberately forcing himself to stay awake might harm him, so he sat upright on the futon and quietly fell asleep.
