Practice begins with immortality

As Wang Bai swallowed and refined the blood essence, a burning sensation enveloped his body, followed by a tingling sensation everywhere. This was the essence of the Soul-Falling Beast, strengthening and transforming Wang Bai's body.

It was very mild at first, but as time went on, the feeling became stronger and stronger, as if there were thousands of knives trying to cut him into pieces.

But Wang Bai remained expressionless and persevered with gritted teeth.

The path of physical cultivation is essentially about sublimating and transforming one's own bloodline and life, allowing oneself to possess a body as powerful as a demon beast. Upon reaching a certain level, one can even possess innate magical powers like a demon beast. However, this is a very painful process. The process of refining the body and building a foundation is a hundred times more painful than the normal process of refining Qi and building a foundation.

Half an incense stick later, some foul-smelling black mud appeared on the surface of Wang Bai's skin, which was the impurities hidden in the body.

Then another half an hour passed, and the level of body refining and foundation building was already shaky.

"break!"

With a loud shout, the bottleneck was broken.

An extremely powerful aura emanated from Wang Bai, indicating that Wang Bai had successfully refined his body and established his foundation, becoming a second-level physical cultivator.

"Body refining and foundation building are finally accomplished!"

Wang Bai murmured softly, his excitement barely concealed in his voice. He slowly opened his eyes, stood up, and stretched his body, his bones crackling.

This feeling is very wonderful, as if the body has been sublimated, becoming light and strong.

He clenched his fists, feeling the surging power in his body surge wildly.

Every muscle is full of strength, and the muscles on the arms bulge like iron blocks, outlining beautiful lines and giving people a feeling of invincibility.

He even felt that he could punch through a thousand-foot-high peak with one punch!

However, he knew in his heart that this was just an illusion caused by the huge increase in strength.

To collapse mountains and shatter peaks with the strength of one's physical body required the attainment of the Golden Core stage of Body Refining. He had just broken through to the Foundation Establishment stage and didn't possess such combat power. A full-strength attack could only shatter a building. However, even though he knew it was an illusion, he was still incredibly excited.

"Now that I'm cultivating Qi and body, and building my foundation, I can even contend with cultivators in the middle stage of foundation building. At least keeping myself alive shouldn't be a problem."

Compared with the combat effectiveness of body refining and foundation building, Wang Bai values ​​the life-preserving ability of body refining and foundation building more.

Even though the bodies of ordinary foundation-building cultivators are nourished by the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, they are still relatively weak compared to monsters of the same realm. If they are attacked at close range, their lives will be in danger. However, Wang Bai is now in the stage of physical cultivation and foundation-building, so even a high-grade spiritual weapon cannot harm his body.

"Now, I should try out my previous idea." After a while, Wang Bai began to think about how to refine his body. The Xuanhun Tribe couldn't always provide him with essence and blood for his body refinement, and Wang Bai didn't want to use the essence and blood of other foundation-building monsters for his body refinement. Stability was the most important thing.

"I can try the secret blood-releasing technique I used when I was training." Having made up his mind, Wang Bai took out an acupuncture needle and inserted it into his heart. With his current abilities, even a broken heart wouldn't kill him. As his blood and essence were forced out, Wang Bai began to refine them. Simultaneously, the light in his mind flickered slightly, and the blood and essence Wang Bai had lost were replenished. Half an incense stick of time passed, and Wang Bai refined the blood and essence, and his body also strengthened.

"It really works!" Wang Bai was overjoyed. After refining the essence and blood of the Soul-Falling Beast, he could also use his own essence and blood to advance the body refining process. Although the effect was slightly worse, it was better in that there was no loss at all. It could be said that he was able to ascend to heaven with one foot in hand. Moreover, the number of times Wang Bai could use it in a day was many times more than when he first practiced martial arts.

"It's inefficient, but there's nothing we can do about it. The Blood Release Secret Technique is, after all, just a mortal secret technique. It seems I need to refer to more of the magic secret techniques to upgrade it. The Soul Devouring Technique I got before can be used as a reference." Later, Wang Bai took out the Soul Devouring Technique and began to study it carefully.

Sixteen days later.

"Success! The efficiency has increased by about three times compared to before!" Wang Bai said happily. The new and improved secret method is working well. It seems that his physical training will reach the perfection of foundation building faster than Qi training.

"The name 'Blood Solution' is no longer applicable. From today on, this secret technique will be called 'Origin Devouring Technique'!"

Afterwards, he took out the heart of the foundation-building tree demon and prepared to practice the secret method of withering and flourishing soul refining.

"After I master this secret technique, I will go back to the original world and take a look to find out about the current situation in Luoxia Mountains." Wang Bai thought to himself. After all, the original world would be his main place for training in the future.

Then, he took out the tree heart and began to refine it. As time went by, the abundant vitality and spiritual power in the tree heart began to flow into his body and began to operate along the route of the secret technique.

A day passed, and Wang Bai had refined one third of the tree heart, and his own magic power also increased by 10%.

Another four days passed, and the tree heart had been completely utilized by Wang Bai, turning into ashes. Wang Bai's magic power was also 30% stronger than that of the cultivators of the same level, and the secret method was completed.

"It's time to go back!"
