Daily Intelligence: From Water Snake to Jinghe Dragon King

Chapter 227 The Supreme Purity Method of Dual Cultivation of Body and Spirit, Nine Revolutions Profound Technique for Refining the Physical Body

Hong Gu was troubled.

They're all family, so it's not easy to tell who should go and who shouldn't. In the end, she waved her hand and said, "I'm so worried! Why don't all four of you go together tonight!"

The four women secretly breathed a sigh of relief, then bowed and said, "Thank you for your kindness, elder sister!"

Pretending to be drunk, Liu Qing felt conflicted. Why did these words sound so awkward? "Thank you for your reward, sister?"
My lord, I am nothing but a worthless thing, how can I bestow a reward upon you?
Having done it once before, Bai She'er became bolder. She exchanged glances with Xiao Ya, Shui'er, and Sang Qingjun, and stepped forward first. The other three girls also blushed and came forward.

The four women each grabbed one of Liu Qing's hands or feet and carried her to the bedroom.

Once inside the bedroom, the four women faced another dilemma: there was only one husband, so who should go first and who should go last?

White Snake thought for a moment and said, "Sisters, how about we draw lots?"

Liu Qing sighed inwardly and, while the four women were drawing lots, hurriedly activated the Water and Fire Refining Technique to make his physical body as hard as iron.

After one night, Liu Qing went to Yangxin Garden looking radiant, while the four women, including Bai She'er, remained listless and unconscious.

Upon entering the underground meditation chamber and activating the defensive restrictions, Liu Qing calmed his mind and sat cross-legged.

This trip yielded tremendous gains. The Dharma Realm collections of the Great King Linggan, Benboerba, and Baboerben alone, along with the Nine-Petaled Red Copper Hammer, a mid-grade acquired spiritual treasure, and their physical bodies and demon souls, are worth the purple level rating of the Intelligence Treasure Box.

But what moved Liu Qing the most was becoming a disciple of Daoist Yu Yu and being taught the core techniques of the Jie Sect.

The Shangqing Immortal Technique is the most advanced cultivation method in the Three Realms. The only comparable techniques are the Yuqing Immortal Technique of the Chan Sect and the Taiqing Immortal Technique of the Ren Sect.

It far surpasses Liu Qing's current practice of the Dragon-Snake Qi-Eating Technique.

The Dragon-Snake Devouring Qi Technique is also a top-tier cultivation method in the Three Realms, but compared to the Shangqing Immortal Technique, the difference is as vast as a firefly compared to the bright moon.

The Dragon-Snake Qi-Eating Method can only be cultivated to the Golden Body Realm level, and it only involves the Qi-eating method, without any special effects of comprehending supernatural powers.

The Shangqing Immortal Technique is different. Not only can one cultivate all the way to the Hunyuan Dao Fruit, but one can also comprehend magical arts and supernatural powers during the cultivation process.

The Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiend Techniques were magical abilities that early disciples of the Jie Sect comprehended while practicing the Shangqing Immortal Techniques.

Later, it was compiled and became the cultivation techniques of the third generation of disciples of the Jie Sect.

The Shangqing Immortal Technique leans towards 'nature', focusing on cultivating the soul and supplementing it with cultivating the physical body. When it is mastered, one's supernatural powers and magical strength, as well as the soul, are incredibly powerful. Even the physical body, which is the secondary cultivation, can withstand spiritual treasures, thus achieving the dual cultivation of nature and life.

However, in Yu Yu Dao Ren's view, the Shangqing Immortal Technique was still somewhat biased, not focusing enough on the physical body, so he also passed on Liu Qing's Nine Revolutions Profound Technique.

As a time traveler, how could I not know the power of the Nine Revolutions Mystic Art?

That was Yang Jian's strongest technique, the main force of the Chan Sect. It was a method of refining the body of Pangu, which was comprehended by the Three Pure Ones and passed on to their disciples.

Of those who have achieved true mastery in cultivation, only Yang Jian has succeeded, and Yuan Hong can barely be considered half of one.

Ever since Liu Qing learned that he had traveled to Journey to the West, he had been obsessed with the Nine Revolutions Profound Skill. He thought he had no hope in this life, but who would have thought that he would be fortunate enough to be taught it today.

The Nine Revolutions Profound Technique is so powerful that one can withstand low-grade spiritual treasures upon entering the basics, ignore mid-grade spiritual treasures upon minor mastery, and block high-grade spiritual treasures upon major mastery. As for the Nine Revolutions Perfected Technique, one can withstand top-grade spiritual treasures with bare hands with one's own body. Even innate supreme treasures can be struck with full force and survive.

In addition, the Nine Revolutions Profound Technique has a special ability: after entering the basics, one can change one's own form. If one continues to refine it, the transformations become even more numerous, and all things and spirits in this world can be transformed.

His abilities far surpassed Sun Wukong's seventy-two transformations. In Journey to the West, Sun Wukong fought Yang Jian in transformation techniques, but was he ultimately defeated by Yang Jian?
It is because of this Nine Revolutions Mysterious Technique.

The Nine Revolutions Profound Technique is undoubtedly powerful, but cultivating it is extremely difficult. Each of the nine revolutions is more difficult than the last, and the process is extremely painful. It's not like you're practicing a skill; rather, the Nine Revolutions Profound Technique is refining you, treating your physical body as a congenital spiritual treasure to be refined.

To achieve success in spiritual practice, one must not only possess exceptional comprehension but also unwavering willpower; neither is dispensable.

As for comprehension, Liu Qing did not boast when he became a disciple of Daoist Yu Yu, but he was indeed extraordinary.

Liu Qing himself possessed extraordinary comprehension, and with the added blessing of hundreds of divided spirits within his body, it was equivalent to the superposition of hundreds of Liu Qing's comprehension, making his comprehension level exceptionally heaven-defying.

Having achieved enlightenment, the second requirement is a strong will that can withstand the intense pain during cultivation; for Liu Qing, that is nothing.

For the same reason, Liu Qing had many divided spirits within his body. When his main body could not bear the pain during cultivation, he would move his main consciousness away and replace it with divided spirits. There were hundreds of divided spirits, and when each one could not bear it, he would take turns replacing it.

With this rotation, the pain is shared among hundreds of consciousnesses, so it seems that the pain of cultivating the Nine Revolutions Profound Technique can be endured.

Yu Yu Daoist also taught Liu Qing the great formations that guarded the Jie Sect, such as the Ten Deadly Formations, the Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation, the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation, and the Zhou Tian Star Formation.

The three schools of thought—Ren, Chan, and Jie—are known for their respective strengths: Ren is skilled in alchemy, Chan in weapon crafting, and Jie in formations.

Being the best among the three religions is being the best in the three realms.

Within the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation, the Jie Sect, with its single-sect strength, resisted the combined forces of Buddhism, Chan Sect, and Human Sect, and managed to fight to a standstill, demonstrating just how terrifying the Jie Sect's formation was.

If it weren't for the unequal number of sages and the emergence of the traitor Chang'er Dingguangxian, it would be hard to say who would have won in the end.

Liu Qing was determined to comprehend these Jiejiao formations.

Comprehending the Jie Sect's formations is not something that can be accomplished overnight. Fortunately, Liu Qing has multiple mental focus points; if one isn't enough, he adds several, which effectively extends the time required for comprehension.

Liu Qing used ten of his divine senses to study the Jiejiao formation taught by Daoist Yu Yu. After thinking for a moment, he used another ten divine senses to cultivate the Tiangang Disha Technique and the Shangqing Immortal Manual.

The remaining two hundred or so spirits were all focused on cultivating the Nine Revolutions Profound Technique.

Because the Nine Revolutions Profound Technique is the number one combat technique in the Three Realms, only those with formidable combat power can protect themselves in the great calamity to come.

One of the divided spirits transmitted the secrets and profound meanings of the Nine Revolutions Profound Technique, which it had memorized, to Liu Qing's true self.

Liu Qing himself shared the Nine Revolutions Profound Technique with all his divided spirits, allowing more than two hundred divided spirits to help him comprehend it.

These two hundred-plus divided spirits are like Liu Qing having two hundred brains superimposed. When comprehending, they quickly share what they gain and overcome difficulties together, like a closely cooperating team that uses its collective strength to conquer one problem after another in comprehending the cultivation technique.

Soon, Liu Qing had completed the comprehension of the entire Nine Revolutions Profound Technique, understanding the key points of each revolution, the corresponding divine power circulation routes, refining techniques, and incantations, etc.

At this moment, Liu Qing's comprehension seemed to have been magnified more than two hundred times. He only spent half a month to comprehend the Nine Revolutions Profound Technique.

Such progress is unparalleled in the Three Realms. If Yang Jian and Yuan Hong, who had also cultivated the Nine Revolutions Profound Technique, knew about it, they would be shocked and exclaim that there was someone in the world who could cheat like this!
The cultivation of the Nine Revolutions Profound Technique is a method of physical body refinement derived by the three leaders of the religions from their understanding of Pangu's physical body.

The core of its cultivation lies in treating the physical body as a spiritual treasure for refinement, imprinting various magic arrays onto it. These arrays are for refining the physical body, and they are imprinted onto the body according to their power, from weakest to strongest. Each batch of refining arrays imprinted will make the physical body stronger. When all the refining arrays are imprinted onto the physical body, it is the time when the Nine Revolutions Profound Technique is perfected.

After understanding the steps to cultivate the Nine Revolutions Profound Technique, Liu Qing immersed himself in it and began to cultivate step by step.

The subsequent cultivation will no longer be related to comprehension.

One must honestly imprint the necessary refining formations for each transformation onto the body, using divine power as the thread and the physical body as the foundation. By using the spiritual energy of heaven and earth absorbed by the refining formations, the body can be refined, making it both hard and soft. Hard enough to resist spiritual treasures, soft enough to undergo countless transformations.

With a thought, Liu Qing manifested his true form as a dragon over thirty feet long. Recently, his true form has grown even larger, increasing from thirty feet to thirty-five feet.

Afterwards, Liu Qing sent out more than two hundred divine beings, which floated on the main body of the dragon. They formed groups of three to five, each drawing upon their divine power to inscribe sacrificial formations on the scales.

With his ability to be distracted, Liu Qing was practically the most suitable candidate to cultivate the Nine Revolutions Profound Technique.

Previously, Liu Qing, who possessed a split spirit, could amplify his comprehension hundreds of times during his comprehension practice. Now that he had reached the specific cultivation steps, he was inscribing the formations for refining his physical body step by step. These split spirits could also help in inscribing the formations.

This means Liu Qing now has over two hundred more people helping him.

On the scales at the rim of the bowl, arrays for refining the physical body were branded one by one. This was the cultivation method of the first stage of the Nine Revolutions Profound Technique, and the branded arrays were water and fire refining methods.

Liu Qing had already mastered the Water and Fire Refining Technique.

All he had to do was imprint the water and fire refining array on each scale step by step. Soon, after several hours, Liu Qing had engraved the array on all the scales and horns of his body.

A flash of water and fire power erupted, instantly radiating brilliant light. After a moment of intense pain, the water and fire power rose from every scale, rapidly tempering Liu Qing's body.

Several more hours passed, and Liu Qing's consciousness changed several times before he finally withstood the overwhelming burning pain and successfully cultivated the Nine Revolutions Profound Technique to the first revolution.

Once one truly masters the Nine Revolutions Profound Technique and reaches the first revolution, their physical strength increases dramatically, reaching approximately 200,000 jin. Their physical defense also skyrockets, allowing them to withstand the full force of a low-grade spiritual treasure without needing the Thick Armor talent.

Liu Qing was overjoyed.

Having witnessed the power of the first stage of the Nine Revolutions Profound Technique, he was even more motivated to continue his cultivation.

After briefly consuming Water Essence Pills and Soul Nourishing Pills, and drinking some Monkey Spirit Wine to rest, Liu Qing began his second stage of cultivation.

The second stage of cultivation involves using divine power to create array patterns on the muscles, inscribing the Three Powers Refining Array.

Similarly, Liu Qing had his divided spirits assist him, releasing their divine power and allowing them to guide each other in groups of three to five, imprinting the Three Talents Refining Array on every muscle in his body.

Because muscles are smaller than scales and there are many of them, it took several days and more than two hundred supernatural powers to work together to imprint the Three Powers Formation on every muscle.

The moment it was completed, Liu Qing's true consciousness used divine power to activate all the Three Talents Refining Formations. Instantly, the power of the sun, moon, stars, and the three talents rose up in all parts of his body, burning and refining them.

The excruciating pain throughout his body nearly burst Liu Qing's true consciousness. After barely enduring the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, his true consciousness fled and he quickly replaced it with a divided spirit.

When Liu Qing rotated to the twenty-eighth division of his spirit, he finally endured the painful tempering of the Three Talents Formation.

When the power of the three powers dissipated, Liu Qing went into seclusion to experience it and was overjoyed.

Breakthrough in the second stage of the Nine Revolutions Mystic Technique.

After breaking through to the second stage, his physical strength surged to 300,000 jin, and in terms of defense, he could completely ignore the attacks of top-grade spiritual treasures.

At the same time, her physical body began to show abnormal flexibility. Liu Qing tried it and was able to stretch, shorten, enlarge, and shrink various parts of her body, thereby changing her external form.

The Nine Revolutions Profound Technique's special ability, the Thousand Transformations, is considered to be at the entry level.

After witnessing the power of the second transformation, Liu Qing became even more excited.

After a brief rest after taking the pills, Liu Qing immediately began cultivating the third stage of the Nine Revolutions Profound Technique.

This time, it is necessary to imprint the Four Symbols Formation on all the bones and fascia of Liu Qing's body.

Similarly, Liu Qing released his divine power authority, allowing his divided spirits to form teams of three to five, large and small, to work together and use divine power to create array patterns, imprinting the four elements of earth, wind, water, and fire onto their muscles and bones.

Half a month later, Liu Qing's divided spirits imprinted the Four Symbols Formation on all the bones and fascia in his body.

Liu Qing took a deep breath and detonated all the Four Symbols Refining Formations. Instantly, the power of the Four Symbols—earth, wind, water, and fire—raged across every bone and fascia, brutally refining them.

"what--"

Excruciating pain spread throughout his body, surging wildly into his mind and nearly overwhelming his senses. Liu Qing roared in agony, trying to alleviate the agony in this way.

However, after only ten breaths, Liu Qing's consciousness could no longer hold on and hurriedly switched to a distraction.

In this way, each divided spirit took turns persisting for about ten breaths, and more than two hundred divided spirits took turns several times before finally enduring the third stage of the Four Symbols Refining.

A month later, the power of the Four Symbols dissipated, and Liu Qing gasped for breath, his eyes still filled with lingering fear.

No wonder cultivating this Nine Revolutions Profound Technique requires a strong will; I was almost overwhelmed by a tidal wave of excruciating pain on my third turn.

Fortunately, there were distractions to help take turns bearing the pain; otherwise, if it were just Liu Qing himself, he would probably have been driven to madness by the excruciating pain.

Fortunately, they eventually broke through to the third turn.

After breaking through to the third stage of the Nine Revolutions Profound Technique, the strength of the physical body increased to 500,000 jin, and in terms of defense, it could withstand a full-force attack from a mid-grade acquired spiritual treasure.

In terms of changes, due to the further increase in flexibility, Liu Qing can change her own external form even without the face-changing insect.

Compared to the face-changing insect's transformation, the only difference lies in the qi mechanism; their external forms are now indistinguishable.

This time, Liu Qing took the pills and rested for a long time before he was able to shake off the shadow of the excruciating pain he had experienced during the third transformation.

The fourth stage of the Nine Revolutions Profound Technique involves imprinting the Five Elements Refining Array onto the entire bone marrow and blood of the body.

It seems that this is the critical moment. In the first three stages, ordinary creatures have great perseverance and can endure the excruciating pain during the process. But from the fourth stage onwards, the excruciating pain is something that creatures cannot withstand by perseverance alone.

Therefore, there is a shortcut to practicing this skill.
