Mortal: Starting on the Yin Island, his physical body defies the starry sea

Chapter 30 Iron Cauldron Golden Body Skill

This matter may seem unrelated to whether or not he breaks through to the fifth level of Qi Refining, but in fact, the only way for him to achieve the two things mentioned above is to hunt down demonic beasts!

Since he had to hunt demonic beasts, Luo Qing had to consider acquiring demonic energy.

The ancient texts of Jiyin Island record that evil energy can only be effectively obtained by killing beings of the same level or stronger than oneself.

The malevolent energy gained from slaughtering a large number of weak creatures will dissipate completely after a period of time!

"It sounds so mysterious, but if you translate it, it's just that the evil energy produced by the death of lower-level beings cannot be contaminated by higher-level beings."

And this level of life is equivalent to the level of cultivation.

Luo Qing's idea was simple: since he was going to hunt demons to accumulate resources anyway, he might as well suppress his cultivation at the early stage of Qi Refining and get more demonic energy along the way.

However, one thing must be made clear: he only needs to suppress his magical power cultivation. His physical body and primordial spirit cultivation will not only not stop, but will be given even more attention.

After all, the only things that can affect the efficiency of basic Iron Bone Kung Fu cultivation are his spiritual root and essence attributes.

At this stage, it is simply impossible to improve one's spiritual root aptitude.

Luo Qing had also asked Meng Bao, but the answer he received was the Heaven-Mending Pill!

Therefore, he could only try to find more ways to improve his spiritual attributes.

The simplest solution is for him to also cultivate a body-refining technique.

However, this body-refining technique requires him to use the resources he has on hand to cultivate quickly.

Otherwise, one will fall into a vicious cycle: in order to accelerate the cultivation of "Iron Bone Skill," one will cultivate body-refining techniques, and in order to accelerate the cultivation of body-refining techniques, one will seek other methods, and so on, without end.

"Meng Bao, please search your database for a suitable body-refining technique for me and add the keyword 'demonic beast'."

"Search with Mengbao, get with Mengbao!"

"Master, do you think this cultivation technique is suitable?"

In just a moment, Meng Bao transmitted a cultivation technique to Luo Qing through his primordial spirit.

"Iron Cauldron Golden Body Technique" is an ancient metal-based body-refining technique in the human realm. To enter the practice, one must temper the physical body with the energy of metal yang.

Further cultivation requires soaking the physical body in the blood of five elements from a cauldron; the higher the level, the higher the required grade of the demon blood.

Luo Qing carefully read through the introduction of this technique, and the joy on her face became more and more obvious.

"Great, that's exactly what I wanted! Mengbao, you're amazing!"

"Hehehe! Mengbao got praised by its owner."

There's no need for Meng Bao to search through databases for information on cultivating the primordial spirit; the "Great Evolution Technique" is the best choice.

"Meng Bao, how much analysis time is required for the first level of the Iron Cauldron Golden Body Technique and the first level of the Great Evolution Technique?"

Luo Qing asked with a solemn expression.

"90% of the Yuan Shen computing power, 28 days and 6 hours."

"Then let's start today: hunt demons by day and meditate to analyze them by night!"

Luo Qing made a decision immediately.

Without further ado, since it was still early, Luo Qing packed her things, pushed open the door, and walked out of the courtyard.

Since the Golden Yang Qi is needed, the Golden-backed Centipede is Luo Qing's first target. This kind of monster is not only found on the Dry Wind Cliff of Extreme Yin Island.

Now that he is a formal disciple, he can legitimately go to various demon-hunting areas.

In fact, he had no choice but to go even if he didn't want to.

Because formal disciples have a monthly demon-hunting mission, they must hunt at least one mid-level demon beast.

Disciples in the late stage of Qi Refining have a heavier task, requiring them to hunt down three mid-level demonic beasts or one high-level demonic beast.

Only by completing the minimum tasks can one receive the monthly supply of two spirit stones as a formal disciple.

Just like when Luo Qing was still a disciple, he could only obtain a spirit stone by submitting at least 300 pieces of demon bone wood every month.

If it's too little, we won't replenish it; if it's too much, we won't make up for it.

There is no punishment for registered disciples who fail to complete tasks consecutively, because they lack spirit stones for cultivation, and in the end they will only be eliminated by the initiation competition.

If a formal disciple fails to complete the minimum demon-hunting task for three consecutive months, then he/she will have to go to the Yin Corpse Valley!

According to ancient texts, the practice of hunting demons is the same for all sects, whether righteous, demonic, or unorthodox.

The only difference is the degree of cruelty.

After all, this is the Chaotic Star Sea.

Throughout history, the struggle between humans and demons has been an eternal theme.

After walking along the mountain path for a short while, Luo Qing patted the storage bag at his waist and took out the White Bone Sword, which is given to every formal disciple.

This sword is merely a low-level magical artifact, suitable for both flight and attack, but not particularly powerful in either area.

The other type, the Yin Iron Mask, is a mask that formal disciples use when traveling outside. It serves to conceal their divine sense, but it is not allowed to be worn within the sect.

With a leap onto the White Bone Sword, Luo Qing flew three zhang off the ground, using the weapon to escape.

There's no need to walk along winding mountain paths; the descent is naturally very fast.

Luo Qing didn't return until evening.

......

Each of the thirty-six spiritual peaks on Jiyin Island has its own unique characteristics, either due to the supernatural powers of its peak master or because of its own special features.

However, the Demon Hunting Hall is a large hall on all thirty-six spiritual peaks, and it is quite busy, with disciples coming and going even late at night.

Occasionally, Foundation Establishment cultivators from Lingfeng would suddenly visit, but they would mostly go straight to the second floor and never have much contact with the Qi Refining disciples on the first floor.

This is because the Demon Hunting Hall has extremely comprehensive functions:

It serves as a place for all Qi Refining disciples to register for demon-hunting missions, as well as a place to dismantle and purchase demon beast corpses. It also sells various talismans, magical artifacts, and elixirs commonly used for demon hunting.

"Hey, have you heard? Martial Uncle Song brought back a Qi Refining Level 3 disciple a few days ago and even assigned him to the Black Bamboo Academy!"

In the main hall on the first floor of the Demon Hunting Hall, a disciple in black lowered his voice, his tone full of resentment.

"Are you out of your mind, daring to gossip about Uncle Song!"

A disciple beside him hurriedly interrupted him, glancing around nervously.

"I...I'm a direct descendant of the Sun family. Even if he's a direct disciple of the patriarch, he's still...no, I'm not talking about Uncle Song. Did you not understand, or are you deliberately interrupting me!"

The Sun family disciple first offered a few words of explanation, sounding fierce but actually weak, before quickly trying to steer the conversation back on track.

"Hmph, your information is outdated." Another disciple scoffed, taking over the conversation:

"That guy not only lives well, but Uncle Song also gave him all the hundred-plus pills he won in the bet! He's incredibly lucky!"

"I heard that the kid is valued so highly because of his amazing combat strength."

A burly, black-clad cultivator snorted coldly, his eyes filled with defiance:

"I, Li, believe my combat strength is second to none. If I were to encounter him, I would certainly have a match with him to see just how skilled he truly is!"

Inside the hall, discussions about Luo Qing almost never stopped.

The various preferential treatments he received had long become the talk of the town among all the Qi Refining disciples of the Earthly Fiend Peak.
