Chapter 240 Body Refining Secrets
The villagers who had been listening to the conversation between Old Qi and Xu Binghu were relieved when they heard that Xu Binghu was willing to teach them the secrets of body refining.

Just as everyone breathed a sigh of relief, Xu Ran spoke up, "Grandpa Qi, are you saying that we should distribute this secret manual to every household in the village?"

When Xu Ran's voice sounded, everyone's smiles froze.

What kind of consciousness is this?
Don't you want to?
If Xu Binghu is willing but Xu Ran is not, then they really have no other choice.

In the battle at the village gate and the ancestral hall just now, everyone knew that Xu Ran’s strength far exceeded that of his father, Xu Binghu.

If he doesn't want to, no one can force him to hand it over.

"Xiao Ran, do you have any concerns?" Old Qi asked cautiously.

Xu Binghu and Lian Ji were also very confused.

Seeing everyone's strange expressions, Xu Ran quickly explained, "This is what I mean, Grandpa Qi. According to this secret manual, the minimum requirement for physical training is to reach a strength of 500 kilograms before the age of , right?"

"That's right." Old Qi's face was full of regret.

He was unable to practice body training because he did not meet the requirements, and this requirement was also an extremely difficult condition to meet in the Great Wilderness Village. In the past thirty years, only Xu Binghu and his son Xu Ran could meet the standard.

"Xiao Ran, if you have something to say, just tell everyone directly. We can bear it." Old Qi thought Xu Ran wanted to say that they lacked talent.

Unexpectedly, Xu Ran’s next words directly ignited their inner expectations.

"Grandpa Qi, during this time, I have carefully studied this body refining secret book and found a new body refining method. It does not require a strength of 500 kilograms to refine the body. Moreover, there is no age limit."

"what!!!"

When Mr. Qi heard this, he jumped up, picked up Xu Ran, and held him high. "Xiao Ran, can you say it again?"

Xu Ran, looking down upon everyone, repeated, "I've optimized the body-refining method so that people of all ages can practice it. Furthermore, there's no strength requirement whatsoever!!!"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone fell silent. Everyone stared at Xu Ran with wide eyes, as if he were a savior.

It’s not their fault. It’s just that Xu Ran’s words were too shocking.

The villagers had just learned from Old Qi about the existence of body training and the cultivation system that was superior to that of ordinary people. This made the young people, who already had many ideas, yearn for it. However, the age limit of 500 and the rigid requirement of kilograms of strength discouraged them.

From heaven to hell is just like this.

It can be said that no one present could meet this requirement except Xu Ran and Xu Binghu, father and son.

Mr. Qi wants to popularize the body-building secrets to the villagers, mainly for the next generation.

But now, Xu Ran actually said that everyone present can practice body training, regardless of strength or age.

Such a result seemed to take them from hell to heaven.

Even the most mature and calm person cannot resist the continuous reversals.

Xu Binghu looked at the way everyone was obsessed with Xu Ran and asked again, "Xiao Ran, are you telling the truth?"

Xu Ran nodded, "Of course it's true. I was able to improve the Seven-Leaf Flower before, and now I can improve the Body Refining Secret Manual. What's so strange about that?"

Xu Ran's words were quite confident. Of course, his confidence came from his strength.

After a long while, Elder Qi finally reacted and said excitedly, "Xiao Ran, if what you said is true, then you can take out the Body Refining Secret Manual whenever you want, one year, two years, or even three years is fine!!"

Old Qi knew what kind of changes Xu Ran's action would bring to the Great Wilderness Village. In time, everyone would be a body cultivator with a strength of a thousand pounds, and even those with good talents could be promoted to the Qi Refining Stage.

The villagers nearby also echoed,

"Yes, Xiao Ran, just take it out whenever you make some improvements."

"We're not in a hurry."

"Xiao Ran, you can improve slowly, don't be in a hurry."

The villagers said they were not in a hurry, but their expressions showed that they were eager to get Xu Ran's improved body refining secret book in the next second.

"It won't take that long." Xu Ran waved his hand. "Three days at most. It will be done in three days."

“Three days!!!!”

"Haha, three days, after three days, I will have infinite power."

"After three days of physical training, I might be able to lift the 500-jin boulder on the village grounds."

"In three days, I will become the strongest person in Dahuangbian Village, except for Xiaoran and Binghu!!!"

Some young men have already started to imagine what will happen next and are indeed doing what they do at their age.

Xu Ran looked at the excited crowd and signaled them to calm down.

"Everyone, calm down for a moment. Although my improved body refining method has no restrictions, the first refining method requires the heart blood of a demon beast."

This statement caused everyone to fall into silence again.

Now, let alone monsters, they can’t even hunt some ferocious animals. So how can they get the monsters’ heart blood?
In Dahuangbian Village, only Xu Ran, Xu Binghu and the peregrine falcon raised by the Xu family are capable.

It's impossible that Xu Ran improved the secret book and then asked him to hunt monsters, right?
All of a sudden, everyone's expression became lost.

"Don't worry, everyone," Xu Ran brought them back to reality. "There wasn't any monster heart blood before, but now there's a lot!"

Xu Ran pointed outside the ancestral hall and towards the village gate and said, "These snake monsters are all monsters. They completely meet the requirements of monster heart blood."

"Also, according to the Body Refining Secret Manual, if you hold the snake gallbladder in your mouth without biting it during your first Body Refining, it can enhance the effectiveness of the training!"

"Now that we have the monster beast's heart blood and monster beast's snake gallbladder, there won't be any problems."

Xu Ran's words brought them back to heaven again, and even the usually steady Mr. Qi gasped.

"Xiao Ran, please stop breathing heavily when you speak. I, an old man, can't stand it!!!"

Old Xie also echoed, "Don't even mention the elderly, even I, a middle-aged and upright man, can't stand it!!"

Laughter rang out in the village.

"I have a question?"

Amidst the laughter, a voice was heard. Everyone looked and saw that it was Cuihua, the matchmaker who came to Dahuangbian Village to propose marriages.

"Matchmaker, do you have any questions?" Xu Binghu asked.

"If I'm not from the Great Wilderness Village, can I get the Body Refining Secret Manual?"

Cuihua has been living in Dahuangbian Village since the first day she arrived there. She experienced the entire process of the poisonous snakes slaughtering the village and also witnessed the power of Xu Ran and Xu Binghu.

If she could also practice body cultivation, her status in the matchmaker village would definitely be higher, perhaps even surpassing Aunt Mei.

Therefore, she also hopes to obtain the secret book of body refining.

As soon as this question was asked, everyone looked at Xu Ran. After all, it was he who improved it, and the decision was his.

After thinking for a moment, Xu Ran said, "Aunt Cuihua, after all, you survived the Viper Slaughter Village with us, even if it wasn't your own will." "So, Aunt Cuihua, you will also get a copy of the Body Refining Secret Manual."

When Cuihua heard the news, she almost jumped up. The smile on her face could not be hidden, and the wrinkles on her face were piled up layer by layer, like a rag that had been rubbed thousands of times.

"But," Xu Ran continued, "Aunt Cuihua, all the villages near the mountains who want to get married must first introduce us to Dahuangbian Village."

"Also, this information cannot be spread outside without the consent of our village."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the village laughed.

This is good news for the entire village.

Cuihua smiled and said, "This matter is trivial. Anyway, your village in Dahuangbian is the most popular among all the villages. Girls from all the villages are eager to marry into your village!!"

This request was not a problem at all for Cuihua.

Moreover, she was alone in the matchmaker village. Even if she could tell the secret, she didn't know to whom.

Xu Ran nodded and said, "If that's the case, then there's no problem."

"Three days later, I'll be here again, distributing the improved Body Refining Secret Manual to everyone."

"During these three days, everyone should first collect the heart blood, gallbladder, and bones of the snake demons outside the ancestral hall and at the village gate, and make all preparations."

When everyone heard this, they raised their hands and shouted energetically, "Great!!!"

Xu Binghu and Lian Ji were watching from the side and couldn't help but sigh.

"I didn't expect that Xiao Ran, who is only one year old, has already become the backbone of Dahuangbian Village." Xu Binghu said.

Lian Ji raised her head and said, "Of course, my son, he is a genius."

"He's my son too!! Hehe!!"

Xu Ran's words were an absolute order to the villagers of Dahuangbian Village. Everyone took a knife and cut open the dead poisonous snake, taking out the snake gall, blood and bones and collecting them.

There are hundreds of poisonous snakes, enough for everyone in Dahuangbian Village to have one.

Xu Binghu also took the gallbladder, blood and bones from one of the poisonous snakes.

After all, he also has to undergo the third body refining.

As for all the belongings of the alien snake demon, he would leave them to Xu Ran and would not touch them.

Now, the materials are available, and the scales of the alien snake demon are also available, which are extremely hard. If Xiaobai's strength was not too abnormal, he probably wouldn't be able to kill it.

"It's time to make a suit of armor for Xiao Ran."

Thinking of this, Xu Binghu came to Mr. Qi and asked.

"Mr. Qi, do you know who can refine weapons?" Xu Binghu asked.

"You want to refine weapons?"

"Yes." Xu Binghu nodded. "I want to learn it. Otherwise, ordinary weapons will be useless when facing monsters in the future."

Old Qi nodded, "Yes, you are right. If you want weapons to be threatening to monsters, you need better materials."

"Better materials mean stronger steel. The village blacksmith simply can't make it. At the very least, we have to wait until he succeeds in body refining!"

After thinking for a moment, Elder Qi said, "I know a blacksmith from the village next door. His weapon is very sharp and almost meets the requirements for fighting against monsters, but unfortunately, he is not a body refiner."

Xu Binghu asked, "Mr. Qi, can you recommend me? I want to learn."

Old Qi nodded, "Of course, I saved him in the mountains before, he owes me a life, this is just a small matter."

Soon, three days passed.

The villagers gathered together early in the morning, with extra anticipation on everyone's face. Today was the most important day for them to obtain the body refining secret book.

Xu Ran arrived as promised and distributed the improved body-building secret book in his hand to everyone.

"The secret book contains my father's and my insights into body training. I hope it will be of some help to you."

Xu Ran’s words made everyone’s eyes red.

That's the enlightenment of physical training, such a precious experience! The Xu family father and son gave it to me without hesitation!
Everyone bowed and said sincerely, "Thank you Xu family!!!"

Xu Ran waved his hand and went home.

In the Xu family's yard, a pot was set up early in the morning. The pot was filled with the heart blood, bones and herbs of various monsters.

Xiaobai prepared all these things in three days.

During these three days, Xu Ran has been improving the body refining secret book, so he can only hand this matter over to Xiaobai. In the entire mountain, except for the monsters in the deepest part, there should be no monsters that can threaten Xiaobai.

Moreover, during these three days, Xu Binghu also disappeared, saying that he was going out to do something and would give her a surprise when he came back.

Therefore, this time, Xu Ran was doing the body training alone, and of course, the whole village was also involved.

The first thing the villagers would do after getting the body-refining secret book is to go back and start their first body-refining.

On the day Xu Ran told him the improved secret of body training, Old Qi asked every household to set up a big pot in the yard, specifically for body training.

Before Xu Ran even started, he heard endless screams.

"Xiao Ran, why do the people in the village scream so miserably when they are practicing body training, just like your father?" Lian Ji asked.

"This is normal." Xu Ran said.

"But you are not like that!!" Lian Ji said.

Xu Ran shook his head and said, "Of course, I'm a genius."

After saying that, he instructed Xiaobai to throw all the ingredients into the pot.

Suddenly, a breath of a snake demon came from the pot. Through the mouth of the pot, one could vaguely see the shadow of a snake circling in the pot, ready to devour the person who came down at any time.

This is a strange snake demon. Even after death, the blood in its heart still has residual power. If you want to use its blood in your heart to refine your body, you have to bear its pressure. Once you can't bear it, your body will explode and die.

But who is Xu Ran!
For someone who possesses an innate divine body and is the third reincarnation, a mere alien snake demon is no match for him.

Xu Ran jumped directly into the pot.

Suddenly, the phantom of the alien snake demon in the country began to hover around him, and black liquid kept coming out from the bottom of the pot, soaking into Xu Ran's body, and emitting a foul odor.

Only Xu Ran could smell this stench.

These are all the pressures left by the dead alien snake demon. The black liquid is the venom in its body when it was alive. Once Xu Ran can't withstand this pressure, the black liquid that has soaked into his body will turn into real venom.

Even though it was so dangerous, for Xu Ran, it felt no different from taking a hot spring bath.
