Guixu Immortal Kingdom

Chapter 17 Skin Refining Life Field
Feel the birth of two essences within the jade plate. Although the essences are not large, they are enough to satisfy the first cultivation.

Without a second thought, the method of the Mighty Bull Fist flashed through my mind, the most important part being the fist technique.

Buffalo lying in the trough
With his mind focused, he hesitated no longer and began practicing the Skin-Refining Fist Technique. This was a form of martial arts that mimicked a bull. A bull's hide is extremely tough, and human skin is vastly different from a bull's. This martial art evolved from the style of a bull.

From the very beginning, it was clear that Ji Tianhao had truly transformed into a yellow ox, his movements mirroring those of a real ox lying down in front of the trough, using the trough to temper his skin.

Iron oxen plowing the fields!

The bull sways its head!

Bull Demon King dons armor!

The mad bull is rolling on the waves!

Rhinoceros Gazing at the Moon!
The blue ox shakes off its lice!

A yellow ox carrying a mountain!

A bull butts its horns!

In the Nine Styles of Fist, the Mighty Bull Fist requires the combination of stance training and the Mighty Bull Breathing Method to be effective. At this moment, the Mighty Bull Breathing Method is directly integrated into the Black Hole Breathing Method, not only perfectly matching but also becoming even more miraculous than the original Mighty Bull Breathing Method.

While visualizing the chaotic jade cauldron, Ji Tianhao performed a set of fist techniques. He felt as if he were inside the cauldron, the fist techniques seemingly striking it, gradually moving the originally still cauldron, like turning a large millstone. As the cauldron rotated, a mysterious force appeared on his body, constantly grinding against his skin. He clearly felt an unbearable stinging pain on his entire skin, while at the same time, a surge of heat penetrated into his skin.

During this process, you can clearly feel that the food you ate in the morning is being digested at an astonishing speed, and then, accompanied by breathing, it penetrates into your skin.

During the integration process, the membrane also undergoes natural changes, becoming noticeably more resilient than before, containing a rhythmic power.

However, the essence produced by the breakfast consumed is completely insufficient for the skin at this moment. The skin is like a dry sponge, requiring an astonishing amount of moisture that cannot be replenished by the food consumed. If it cannot be replenished in time, the effect of this cultivation will be greatly reduced, not only failing to achieve the goal but also causing varying degrees of damage to the skin membrane.

Even if it's not visible on the surface, there are already hidden injuries.

This is why it is said that resources are necessary for cultivation; the old saying "the poor study literature, the rich study martial arts" is not false.

If you don't have enough resources to practice martial arts, you won't achieve anything significant, and your body will break down.

Studying literature only consumes the cost of pen, ink, paper, and various books. Practicing martial arts, on the other hand, requires consuming large quantities of precious medicinal herbs. What you consume is not just medicinal herbs, but mountains of gold and silver. If you try to force your talent into martial arts training, even if you are exceptionally gifted, you will still suffer hidden injuries and die prematurely.

There's a saying among those who practice traditional Chinese martial arts: medicine and martial arts are inseparable.

Most of the truly top-tier masters understand pharmacology. If you don't understand pharmacology and can't concoct secret medicines, you simply can't become a master.

Cultivation is about cultivating resources.

Cultivation is equivalent to completely activating a part of the body, allowing stagnant evolution to restart. Evolution requires energy, which cannot be met by ordinary food.

Just when my body was feeling empty.

It was as if the essence of gold and the essence of life within the Kunlun Jade Plate suddenly began to radiate light, one resembling a golden sun, the other a blood-red moon. The radiant light, passing through the Kunlun Jade Plate, merged into one, directly becoming a golden light. Threads of light, in sync with the frequency of the Black Hole Breathing Technique, penetrated into the skin, activating it like a thirsty sponge.

Every inch of skin conveys a sense of longing.

With each breath, golden light naturally seeps into the skin, accompanied by the Black Hole Breathing Technique.

Soon, one can feel that every part of the skin is evenly absorbing the light condensed from the essence of gold and the essence of life. This light is the light of all spirits. The essence of gold alone, although it is the essence and the core, is easy to absorb and free of impurities, but it contains the sharpness of gold. Once it enters the body, it is no less than being cut by sharp blades.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say it was like being torn to pieces.

The pain involved can make life worse than death.

This is why tempering the body is so difficult; many people dare not use potent medicines or even special resources for tempering. They can only use gentler methods, which are slower and less effective. Moreover, potent medicines are extremely harmful to the body, and without special secret methods, there is a high probability of developing hidden dangers.

If an ordinary cultivator were to absorb the essence of gold alone, it would be even more potent than the most potent medicines.

But at this moment, there was no real injury to the body.

Each ray of light, like a golden needle, pierces the skin, and the stinging sensation is real. However, as it penetrates the skin and integrates, a surge of heat is also transmitted at the point of integration, after which the stinging disappears. In its place, the skin undergoes a transformation, its density increases, and it naturally becomes more resilient.

That essence of gold, perfectly combined with the skin, gives it greater resilience.

It subtly strengthens the skin membrane. Unbeknownst to them, the essence of gold and life within the Kunlun Jade Plate is also completely depleted.

As the skin was thoroughly tempered, a black membrane was unknowingly formed within it. This membrane was very dark and thin, as if it could be pierced with a needle. However, with this black membrane, one could feel that the power contained within was far stronger than before its formation, seemingly a transformation of some kind of life essence.

call! !

Slowly let out a breath.

Seeing the layer of black light appear on his body, he reached out and took out a kitchen knife from his spatial storage, then slashed down on his other arm without hesitation.

Ding! !

Beneath the blade, a layer of black light naturally emerges from the skin, making it impossible for the cleaver to cut through. Not only can it not break the skin, but it also transmits a rebounding force from the black light. If one is not careful, the cleaver might fly away.

"The black iron membrane and the black iron halo are clearly a life force field. It is a symbol that the physical body has reached the black iron level. Only those of the same level or even higher can easily break through this life force field."

"Once you start cultivating, you can mobilize the qi and blood in your body, and your life energy can begin to be mobilized. Once the initial tempering is completed, this black iron membrane can be formed. Under normal cultivation, the black iron membrane should not appear so quickly. This is because I used the Black Hole Breathing Method to absorb the essence of all spirits, which completely activated the entire membrane and completed an initial tempering of the entire body's membrane, allowing the origin of life to begin to transform and embark on the path of life evolution."

"The black iron membrane is the manifestation of the origin of life."

Indeed, only by truly embarking on the path of cultivation can one truly experience the various changes and phenomena encountered during cultivation.

Before cultivation, I only knew about the black iron membrane, but not its essence.

After practicing, I realized that this is actually my own life force field.

Under normal circumstances, it is extremely rare to cultivate to the point where one can mobilize the life essence to complete a tempering of the body in one go. This can only be achieved with the essence of all spirits; otherwise, the skin's needs cannot be replenished.

Unfortunately, he still failed to cultivate the snake pattern in the Skin Refining Realm.

However, after refining the skin, the tempering of the skin membrane allows the body's Qi and blood to be directly stored within the skin membrane. Mobilizing it becomes incredibly easy.

Under normal circumstances, a person's Qi and blood exist within the body and are constantly circulating, yet they are elusive and difficult to utilize or store. They remain at a certain level. However, as one ages, the Qi and blood within the body decline, hence the saying that "a boxer is more powerful in his youth."

According to the cultivation path in the Void Realm, once cultivation begins, refining the skin transforms the skin membrane into a place to store qi and blood; refining the flesh transforms the flesh into new storage areas for qi and blood; and forging the bones allows qi and blood to be stored in all the bones of the body. The most obvious manifestation of qi and blood stored within the skin membrane is an increase in strength. It can also be directly used as energy to activate one's talents.

Looking at the Guixu wristwatch, one's attribute table immediately displayed all the changes.

The most obvious one is that data on the life force field appears in the life rank.

The Skin Refining Realm was also revealed, meaning that he had completely entered the Skin Refining Realm and become a true cultivator. Moreover, the essence and qi in his spirit and energy were increased slightly, but his spirit remained unchanged. During visualization, he could clearly feel the increase in spiritual power, but it had not reached the corresponding limit, and the value remained unchanged.

The value of God is very important.

Visualization is not without its costs; it consumes one's own mental energy.

Just from the cultivation session, Ji Tianhao already felt that his spiritual power was probably only half of what it used up. If he were to go all out, he could only sustain two more cultivation sessions.

Just as he was about to open the golden box he had collected earlier to see what was inside...

boom! !

A loud roar came from downstairs at the hotel, as if something had crashed into the hotel.
