From the Carp that Brings Children to the Celestial Officials

Chapter 9: Body Building
For outsiders, practicing this method requires tempering magical powers, which is too troublesome.

However, in You Ming's eyes, this was a cultivation method tailor-made for him. What he lacked the most right now was mana; all he had to do was input a cheat code and he could have as much mana as he wanted.

The little carp calmed down, kept his mind peaceful, and began to practice according to the instructions of this exercise.

[Liuyun Body Washing Method] is only a Dharma-level method, on the same level as the [Xuanyuan Water Method] he practiced before.

Moreover, because it is essentially a method of strengthening the body, the part about refining magic power is very simple and is far from being as obscure and difficult to understand as the [Treasure Book of the Rising Tides of Rivers and Seas].

He had only been practicing for half an hour when suddenly, the energy channels in his abdomen moved slightly, and an extremely subtle stream of flowing cloud magic power was born.

You Ming's nostrils twitched slightly, drawing in spiritual energy from the outside world like a whale's breath. He was now an [Awakened] cultivator, and his efficiency in mobilizing spiritual energy was several times greater than before.

Once these spiritual energies combined with the flowing cloud magic power, they were quickly assimilated and melted, and then transformed into a thicker magic power that circulated in his body.

The little carp followed the instructions in the technique and poured most of the flowing cloud magic power into his body.

Just like a sponge absorbing water, these magical powers entered his body without any hindrance, and then You Ming felt that all parts of his body were swollen, but also cool and extremely comfortable.

After all, these magical powers were obtained through his own cultivation and have no rejection with his body.

However, the efficiency of body-building is very low. Compared with the various precious medicines used in other body-building methods, the nourishing effect of this magic power is negligible.

Perhaps it takes years of practice to see significant results.

After initially mastering this body-building method, You Ming knew that the real highlight was coming.

As soon as his thoughts turned, the console appeared in front of him.

Jiawu one hundred and forty-seven twenty-nine thirty-one.

After a series of cheat codes are input, the [Mana Buff] effect is activated instantly.

Xuanyuan mana: 50/1000.

Flowing Cloud Mana: 50/200.

Originally, his mana should have increased by about 100 experience points, but with the activation of the mana enhancement effect, the mana he gained from practicing the [Xuanyuan Water Method] and the mana he gained from practicing the [Liuyun Body Washing Method] each increased a bit.

But if expressed in experience points, it becomes an increase of 50 points.

You Ming couldn't help but touch his forehead. This control console is really not smart at all. Can't it just add all of it to [Liuyun Mana] for me?
After my body is strengthened to the limit, you can add Xuanyuan magic power to me.

But unfortunately, there is no artificial intelligence in this console, and it cannot sense his thoughts.

However, at least his Liuyun magic power has increased, so he can only make do with it.

At that moment, he poured all the newly added fifty points of flowing cloud magic power into his body.

In just a moment, he felt that his body was like a balloon... No, not like, but it turned into a balloon.

At this moment, he was like an angry pufferfish, his whole body round and turned into a ball, floating directly from underwater to the surface.

What does these fifty points of mana mean?
Even if the magic power he had just cultivated for half an hour was converted into experience points, it would probably not even be a single point.

Fifty points of mana are like surging waves and huge storms.

Fortunately, Liuyun's magic power was very gentle and very compatible with the human body. Even though the little carp turned into a small pufferfish, he did not feel any harm to his body. On the contrary, he even felt that after his body was stretched out, the magic power penetrated into his body better, and his physique grew at a speed visible to the naked eye.

At this time, the little carp also discovered another benefit of the [Flowing Cloud Body Washing Technique].

Because the magic power is gentle, it will automatically penetrate into every part of the body and you don't need to worry about operating it.

He even thought that he could take a nap at this time, and when his mana was exhausted, his strengthening would be successful.

But You Ming had never been in the habit of wasting time. Since he was free at the moment, why not practice the [Cold Pond Bone Tempering Technique] again?
This method is a very typical method of physical training, requiring the use of external objects to strengthen the body. It is necessary to find a good cold pond, guide the low temperature from the outside world, and temper the muscles and bones bit by bit.

The spiritual pond where You Ming lives now is a cold pond. Although it is not a good spiritual place, it is the only resource he has left.

This [Cold Pond Bone Tempering Method] is even more superficial than the [Flowing Cloud Body Washing Method].

After all, it only requires drawing in the cold air from the outside world, and does not involve the operation of the Dharma meridians. After You Ming became slightly familiar with it, wisps of cold air began to penetrate into his body from the outside world.

The little carp shuddered immediately, and the cold air penetrated into its bones, causing it to feel both painful and itchy, making it impossible not to scratch.

According to the following steps, at this time you need to use your own magic power to resist the cold.

But it just so happened that at this moment, his Flowing Clouds Magical Power was cleansing his body. As soon as the coldness penetrated his bones, the Flowing Clouds Magical Power quickly followed and soothed the coldness bit by bit.

But during this period of destruction and construction, his muscles and bones became tougher and tougher.

Perhaps because of the addition of cold air, the flowing cloud magic power in his body was consumed too quickly. However, after two hours, his body returned to its original state.

However, his physical strength has improved a lot.

If expressed in experience points, his current physical condition is lv50/1010.

Because as the physical strength increases, the upper limit of mana that can be contained also increases.

……

Time flies, and half a month has passed.

These days, apart from paying attention to the fertility of the women under his jurisdiction, You Ming has been curled up in the spirit pool to practice these two body-building methods.

And his hard work these days was not in vain.

LV2:550/1100.

After that, he used the [Mana Gain] cheat code ten times, and by repeatedly strengthening his body, he increased the upper limit of mana he could hold.

However, he could also clearly feel that there was also an upper limit to physical strengthening, and the more times the strengthening was done, the worse the effect would be.

But for now, his physical strength has improved a lot compared to half a month ago, almost comparable to those monsters who follow the [Demon Beast Path] route.

You Ming opened his mouth and took a breath, and the spiritual energy around him split into three streams, rushing back into his mouth and nose.

In the process of accumulating magic power, he opened up his [oral orifice] in addition to his [nasal orifice], absorbing spiritual energy at a faster speed.

Others have to work hard to accumulate magic power, but the magic power in his body now is purely a "side effect" of the body refining process. He even hopes that the magic power will grow slowly, otherwise the magic power in his body will accumulate to the upper limit and the body refining will not keep up, wouldn't that damage his body?

Feeling the powerful force and abundant magic power surging in its body, the little carp's swollen body slowly shrank, from a fish nearly ten feet long to a size of three feet.

The body-building method not only strengthened his physique, but also improved his toughness and reaction ability.

He felt that with his current strength, even without the help of magic power, he was enough to dominate among ordinary little monsters.

"very good!"

"There's still half a month until the Canglang Small Spiritual Realm opens. If I can master the [River and Sea Tide Treasure Book] within half a month, and preferably master those three spells, then I'll be much safer."

You Ming didn't expect to kill everyone in the Xiaoling Realm, he just hoped to survive to the end.

You Ming looked at the time and it was already the first day of August.

From today onwards, the chief clerk of the Collection Department will give free lessons on insect seal script, and he doesn't want to miss it.
