795. Chapter 793 Body Tempering Method

Yuan Shitou angrily questioned.

Lu Yuan looked at Yuan Shitou's furious expression and smiled faintly.

"Junior Brother Yuan, you've blamed me wrongly."

"I just wanted to help you test whether your state of mind is stable."

"You're lying! It's you who's interfering with me!"

He shouted in anger, flung the tool in his hand to the ground, and ran away.

Seeing him leave, Lu Yuan thought he was just too childish, shook his head repeatedly, and then ignored him.

At night, Lu Yuan sat on the black iron bed, surrounded by the sharp sword qi released from the Heavenly Gang Thunder Fire Sword.

He took a deep breath, feeling that scorching energy permeate his whole body.

The table was filled with the pills and spirit stones he had carefully refined, and he decided to try using sword intent body tempering to forge his flesh.

In order to make the sword intent better suit himself, Lu Yuan asked Su Liyan to enhance the penetrating power of the sword qi with cold jade ice slices.

Su Liyan looked at Lu Yuan with slight worry; she knew this cultivation method was quite dangerous, but also knew Lu Yuan had sufficient strength to endure it.

"Are you sure you want to do this?"

Su Liyan couldn't help but ask.

Lu Yuan nodded and smiled.

"Don't worry, I'm confident I can handle it."

Su Liyan lightly nodded and took out a pair of cold jade ice slices.

She suspended them between her palms, releasing a wisp of cold.

This pair of Fobao can bolster her power and also has a special effect.

Lu Yuan extended his arm and placed the cold jade ice slice near his skin.

The cold from the ice slice permeated his arm, making him feel a piercing chill.

Afterward, Lu Yuan gathered sword intent in his palm and used sword qi to cut his own skin.

In an instant, intense pain struck.

Lu Yuan couldn't help but suck in a cold breath; he could feel blood slowly seeping from the wound.

But he didn't stop; instead, he focused entirely on repairing the wound and absorbing pills to enhance his physique.

Although the recovery speed temporarily couldn't keep up with the damage speed, causing minor lacerations on his arm, Lu Yuan did not give up.

He continuously adjusted the sword intent strength and pill consumption, finding a balance point between damage and repair.

After a week of intense practice, Lu Yuan felt his arm noticeably become tougher and stronger.

He clenched his fist, feeling the power contained in his arm muscles.

This body tempering method really works!

With Lu Yuan's decision, he began to improve the body tempering method.

He shifted his focus from local areas to the whole body for synchronized body tempering.

This method slowed the speed of bodily strengthening, but for him it was more comprehensive and secure.

In the span of three months, Lu Yuan never left the training ground.

He entered seclusion to practice, wholeheartedly conducting full-body tempering training.

During this seclusion, the Heavenly Gang Thunder Fire Sword emitted sharp sword qi that surrounded him.

On the table lay the pills and spirit stones that Lu Yuan had carefully refined.

Every day was the same repetitive, arduous practice, carried out without haste.

Lu Yuan used pills to enhance his physique, raising his spiritual power cultivation to the peak of the Golden Core Stage.

Day and night alternated endlessly.

Lu Yuan at times bathed in the morning sun, at times felt the cold night wind.

He continually adjusted the sword intent strength in the body tempering process and repeatedly verified the effects of various pills and spirit stones on physique enhancement.

Every cell in his body seemed to be activated, brimming with vigorous vitality.

Lu Yuan's flesh became tougher and stronger, as if every inch of muscle and bone were filled with power.

Through repeated practice, Lu Yuan gradually found the balance point between damage and repair in the body tempering process.

He learned how to effectively absorb pills and repair his body, enabling him to continue training without excessive harm.

Immersed in training, Lu Yuan appeared calm, but his inner self surged tumultuously.

At times he pondered the mysteries of immortal arts, at times he felt the pleasure of spiritual power flowing through his body.

Deep contemplation gave him a deeper understanding of cultivation and fully prepared him for future battles.

Nevertheless, Lu Yuan remained constantly vigilant and cautious.

He knew he was merely at the peak of the Golden Core Stage, still a distance away from the Realm of the Great Dao.

He needed to train harder and explore further to reach a higher realm.

Over two years, Lu Yuan devoted almost all his energy to spiritual power cultivation.

In the Lei Huo Dan Ge, he cultivated assiduously, rising early and retiring late without complaint.

At times he used spirit stones to feel the flow of spiritual power; at times he employed immortal arts to practice body tempering.

After countless tempering sessions, Lu Yuan's physique became increasingly tough and strong.

Every cell seemed to be activated, teeming with vigorous vitality.

His body began to emanate a faint thunder-fire aura, giving a sense of powerful pressure.

Although Lu Yuan cultivated assiduously, he remained clearly aware that he was still a distance away from the Nascent Soul Stage.

But as he went upward, it had already become the Henan southern road; Lu Yuan felt somewhat troubled, wondering how he could raise his realm another level.

Thus, after finishing a Body Tempering practice, he decided to devote himself wholeheartedly to cultivating his spiritual power.

Just as Lu Yuan was preparing to enter secluded cultivation, Yuan Shitou and the others suddenly walked over.

"Lu Yuan, do you think that with a little strength you can act arrogantly in Lei Huo Dan Ge?"

"You had better stop dreaming of breaking through to Infant Formation; don't forget what your status is!"

Yuan Shitou sneered.

Lu Yuan gave a faint smile, paying no heed to their provocation.

"Everyone has the right to pursue a higher realm; I am not being arrogant."

"As for my status, I only want to prove myself with strength."

Lu Yuan said with a determined gaze.

Seeing Lu Yuan not retreat, Yuan Shitou and the others stopped speaking, but their eyes revealed clear hostility.

They have always harbored jealousy and dissatisfaction toward Lu Yuan, believing he only relies on secret techniques to attain his current strength.

Despite facing hostility and interference, Lu Yuan did not abandon his cultivation plan.

He knew that breaking through to Infant Formation was crucial for cultivators, a necessary path to higher realms.

To reduce disturbances from Yuan Shitou and others to his cultivation, after completing the Black Flame Sect inner disciple promotion examination, Lu Yuan decided to leave the sect to seek breakthrough opportunities in a wider world.

After the inner disciple promotion examination ended, Lu Yuan left the sect in a pleasant mood.

He resolutely decided to use this opportunity to find a secluded place to cultivate for breaking through to Infant Formation.

After some scouting, Lu Yuan finally chose a desolate tract called the 'Wilderness of Wandering Souls'.

The Wilderness of Wandering Souls lies at the foot of the Black Flame Mountains, rarely visited.

This place is filled with a mysterious and eerie atmosphere, perfectly suited for Lu Yuan to immerse himself in cultivation.

He took a deep breath and stepped into the border of the Wilderness of Wandering Souls.

In an instant, gloomy winds rose and thick mist spread.

In the center of the mist ahead, Lu Yuan saw a huge boulder. (End of chapter)
