Cultivating Immortality in a Family: I Prove Immortality Through the Chaotic Dao Realm

Chapter 166 Tempering the Kidneys, Second-Order Body Refinement! Ice Skin Jade Bone Technique!
"Sister Yunyi, you shouldn't be thinking too much right now."

"Take the pills and refine them in sequence. I will protect you."

Chen Qian said in a deep voice.

Chen Yunyi looked at Chen Qian with deep affection in her beautiful eyes, and Chen Qian returned her gaze tenderly.

After a long while, she slowly closed her eyes.

When she opened her eyes again, she had returned to her calm and composed state.

She did as she was told and first put the Foundation Establishment Pill into her mouth.

The elixir melts upon entering the mouth, transforming into three unique torrents of medicinal power that instantly wash over the limbs and bones.

She immediately guided the first stream of medicinal power, circulating it throughout her body according to the circulation route of the Xuanming Ice Soul Scripture, accumulating magical power.

At the same time, the second medicinal power transformed into a vast essence, which began to slowly enhance the foundation and nature of her physical body.

The third medicinal power surged into her sea of ​​consciousness, transforming into pure soul power that merged with her divine soul, gradually solidifying her previously somewhat illusory divine soul arm.

Over this period of time, she has thoroughly studied all the knowledge and experience related to advancing to the Foundation Establishment stage.

She was very clear about the entire advancement process and knew what she should do.

Advancing between major realms is a slow and long process that cannot be accomplished overnight.

Chen Qian should not disturb her any further; he should simply stand by and protect her.

With a wave of his hand, the entire Destiny Wheel Realm stirred without wind, and waves of vast spiritual energy began to gather on the island in the center of the lake, surrounding Chen Yunyi.

It completely concealed the beautiful woman's graceful body.

Chen Yunyi has already begun to advance, and he can also use this icy and snowy spiritual realm to break through to the second stage of body refinement.

The first stage of the Five Elements Reincarnation Technique allows one to choose any organ to temper. He had already decided to temper his kidneys first.

The kidneys are associated with the spirit of water, responsible for storing essence and absorbing qi. They correspond to winter and the north, making cultivation in a snowy and icy environment most suitable.

One must use one's spiritual power to guide the kidney water to flow backward, stimulate kidney energy, and absorb the most yin and cold energy, supplemented by a kidney-strengthening pill made from ten-thousand-year-old mysterious ice or icy spiritual materials.

After successfully refining the kidneys, the whole body is nourished and enhanced, vitality surges, perception becomes extraordinary, and energy is limitless.

Their ability to perceive water-based spiritual energy has greatly improved, and the precision of their magical control has also increased significantly.

It has many benefits, such as the endurance of battle and the accuracy of spells.

As for the second-stage body refinement, the strength increases greatly, and the defense, recovery, speed, and agility will all improve to a higher level, which goes without saying.

Chen Qian took a deep breath of the icy, bone-chilling air, his gaze sharp as a knife.

With a pat on his storage bag, several kidney-tonifying pills flew into his mouth.

As the medicine took effect, a deep, icy power surged straight to the kidneys.

At the same time, he fully activated the Five Elements Revolving Wheel Technique. As for his main cultivation techniques, the Five Elements Mixed Yuan Technique and the Killing Qi Body Tempering Technique, they did not require his special control and were already running automatically.

The five-colored magical power within his body began to circulate endlessly, and the center of the vortex in his dantian was now entirely filled with liquid magical true essence.

The surrounding spiritual energy was abundant, especially the water-based spiritual energy, which was unusually active under the stimulation of the icy environment.

Chen Qian reconnected with the Wheel of Fate, channeling the accumulated earth vein energy into his body.

"The kidneys belong to the water element, and in the cycle of the five elements, water carries all things!"

"Earthly Fiend Body Tempering, Icy Cold Refining!"

"break!"

Chen Qian activated the method of tempering the body with evil energy, guiding the cold medicinal power of the kidney-strengthening pill, the vast water-elemental spiritual power, and the violent earth vein evil energy, using the Five Elements Revolving Technique as the hub, and the three converged in the kidneys!

Kidney water begins to flow backward, and countless amounts of kidney energy are stimulated!
"Om-!"

It was as if a deep, resonant bell had resounded within my body!

A violent force surges, refines, and fuses within the kidneys.

A sharp pain shot through me, as if my kidneys were being pierced by countless ice needles and burned by subterranean fire.

Chen Qian's face was tense, and the sweat that had just seeped out of his body was frozen into ice particles by the cold air, but his will was as strong as iron, and he gritted his teeth and persevered.

Under the pressure of the frigid environment, protected by the medicinal power of the Kidney-Strengthening Pill, and repeatedly tempered by the three forces, his kidneys are undergoing a tremendous transformation!
It becomes more resilient, more vibrant, and more capable of bearing and transforming the power of water and malevolent energy!

This is precisely the key step in the body refinement path, from the first stage to the second stage—the regeneration of the five internal organs, with the kidneys being the first to be reshaped!

Beside the icy pool, two powerful auras rose up, yet strangely merged together.

On one side, Chen Yunyi was surrounded by a chilling aura, with ice crystals spontaneously forming on her hair and eyelashes, and beautiful ice patterns spreading across the ice rock beneath her.

A leap in her life level was taking place within her body; her aura was rising steadily, serene and holy.

On the other side, Chen Qian's blood and qi surged like mercury syrup, emitting a low rumbling sound, and faint light of the five elements rotating and wisps of baleful red light emanated from under his skin.

Each breath carried a thick, frosty white mist, and the area around the kidneys seemed to harbor a miniature, deep pool, radiating immense vitality and the aura of water.

His physical strength was surging forward, advancing rapidly towards the second-tier body refinement level.

The island in the middle of the lake became a sacred place for the two of them to break through their current limitations and reach a higher level.

The turquoise waters of Qianlin Lake reflect the island's icy blue halo. Occasionally, curious newts would approach the island in the center of the lake and immediately sense two auras that filled them with both awe and fear.

The tiny newt suddenly went limp and ran away in terror!
It immediately darted into the deep water in terror, tucked its tail between its legs, and fled.

The process of advancing to the second stage of body refinement and reshaping the kidneys was much longer than Chen Qian had expected. It had already taken three days for the initial evolution of the kidneys to be completed.

These three days are simply the period when the kidneys undergo the most rapid remodeling and changes.

There will be a period of slower change and gradual improvement, which will take at least several more months to complete.

During this period, the body needs to be nourished with a lot of nutrients and absorb a large amount of essence in order to truly reshape the kidneys and advance the body refinement to the second stage.

That makes sense. To temper one's body to the strength of a low-grade spiritual weapon, how could one possibly achieve this simply by practicing a cultivation technique and refining a few kidney-strengthening pills?

The enhancement of strength cannot be accomplished out of thin air; it must go through a process of absorption and transformation.

This also caused Chen Qian's idea of ​​quickly tempering his kidneys and then immediately moving on to his liver to fail.

We can only take it one step at a time.

Too rapid an increase in strength is not a good thing either.

Taking it slow allows the body to adapt to the surge in strength, truly solidifying the foundation.

Having completed the initial tempering of his kidneys, Chen Qian began to feel intense hunger.

I understand this is a warning from my body that I am currently in a state of deficiency and urgently need to replenish my energy.

Chen Yunyi's advancement is still in its initial stage; the medicinal power of the Foundation Establishment Pill has not yet been fully refined.

He doesn't need to stay here; being within the Realm of Fate, he can lend a helping hand to Chen Yunyi at any time if she has any problems.

Even if he goes to the outside world and is no longer in the Wheel of Fate, he can still do it.

So Chen Qian stopped lingering on the island in the middle of the lake, turned around and took a step back to Xuanzhu Villa.

……

……

……

In the villa, apart from Liu Yan and Ji Xue, who were sitting in the Inner Affairs Hall today, all the other women were present.

Some were cultivating, some were studying their skills, and others... were playing with Xiao Yi'an and Xiao Lingxi.

Chen Qian was overjoyed to see He Ying working on new dishes in the kitchen, and he instantly appeared beside her.

"Ah!" Chen Qian suddenly appeared, startling He Ying.

It shouldn't have been that bad, because the women all knew that Chen Qian could appear and disappear unpredictably in the Wheel of Fate.

But the young woman was pondering how to prepare the new dish when, in the midst of her daydreaming, a living person suddenly appeared before her eyes, so it's no wonder she jumped in fright.

"Good lotus shadow, bring out whatever food you have, your young master is starving."

Chen Qian patted the little girl's head and said.

"Oh! Okay, okay." He Ying was just about to act coquettishly with Chen Qian when she didn't expect the young master to say he was hungry. She didn't care about anything else and hurriedly brought the food over.

Chen Qian immediately started showing off, and the speed at which the lotus shadows were delivered almost couldn't keep up with the speed at which the food disappeared.

Although Chen Qian has not yet tempered his spleen, and his stomach is ranked after the five internal organs, his body, which has already surpassed the first level, should not be underestimated.

These first-class foods, once eaten, Chen Qian immediately controlled the violent peristalsis of his stomach to accelerate absorption, and were quickly digested.

"Young master, you've advanced in body refinement?"

He Ying is no ordinary girl who knows nothing.

Since the Jade Dew Spirit Bee appeared in the Wheel of Fate, there has been a stable source of spirit honey.

Apart from using a small amount of spirit honey to brew wine, Chen Qian used all the rest for his own and the women's body refinement, without considering selling it to earn spirit stones.

He also invested 800 spirit stones in research to create a first-level body-refining technique suitable for female cultivators—the Ice Skin Jade Bone Technique.

With the cultivation techniques and resources in hand, the women also began to cultivate their bodies, although most of them had not yet mastered the basics.

But as long as there are some results, the appetite will definitely increase.

Therefore, He Ying was not unfamiliar with Chen Qian's appearance.

I knew immediately that the young master must have advanced in body refinement.

“That’s right.” Chen Qian’s mouth was greasy from eating.

Fortunately, high-level foods such as spirit rice, spirit vegetables, and demon beast meat are not easy to cook unless you cook them with spirit fire regardless of cost.

Since there was no rush, the kitchen at Xuanzhu Villa always kept food simmering over a low flame.

Although there was no shortage of food, the energy level of these things was too low, and Chen Qian was not satisfied with what he ate.

After slightly relieving his hunger, Chen Qian flicked his finger through the void, opening the freshness-locking space specially constructed by the Fate Wheel Realm.

They took out the stored Xiong Da meat, as well as the second-tier Snow Shadow Wolf meat they had recently obtained from the Soul Devouring Hall stronghold.

The bear's meat weighed hundreds of thousands of kilograms, and there was still a lot left.

Although the second-tier Snow Shadow Wolf wasn't that huge, it was still considered a large demon beast. Its flesh was firmer and quite heavy. Since the women were of low cultivation levels, they were full after eating only a little and left much more uneaten.

Chen Qian took a large piece of each type of animal meat, and then swung his iron fist, striking it repeatedly for a while.

Only after he has broken down most of the fibers in the meat can He Ying be divided into small pieces and slowly cooked.

"Start stewing the meat; I'll come eat it tomorrow."

"Okay, son."

Lotus Shadows are full of energy.

As a cook, she loves seeing her loved ones eat the food she prepares and look at them with satisfaction.

“Young master, there was a bumper harvest in the Hidden Spirit Valley a few days ago, but the production of top-grade first-tier Blood Fang Rice and Azure Spirit Rice was not large.”

“Mistress Yunxi instructed us to bring them all into the villa to eat ourselves.”

"I'll start cooking it now. It'll be delicious when the young master eats it with beast meat tomorrow!"

"Okay. Thank you for your hard work, Xiaoying." Chen Qian chuckled.

"What are you saying, young master? If you're willing to eat it, just give it to me."

He Ying patted her small chest, which surprisingly had a slightly bouncy feel to it.

No wonder, among the young maids, He Ying was the most plump, which suited the image of a cook.

"Okay, I'll wait to try Xiaoying's cooking. Just don't make it too strenuous."

Chen Qian smiled and said, "You should eat more too. If you get too thin, the young master will feel sorry for you."

"Son~"

The little girl was shy.

Strangely enough, these young maids, who served Chen Qian and his wives in their boudoirs and had seen many erotic scenes, only blushed slightly and worked efficiently.

But once she becomes the object of Chen Qian's teasing and the main character, she immediately becomes extremely shy.

These girls are all still young, and Chen Qian isn't into that kind of thing; he generally keeps things in check.

Most of the time, they just exchange a few sweet words and admire her shy little face; they won't actually make a move.

Although I only ate until I was three-tenths full, I had already eaten more than five times the usual amount of food, which was enough for now. I'll continue tomorrow.

This physical advancement requires a long-term approach to supplementation, so it's best to start slowly and allow the body to gradually adapt.

The second-tier Snow Shadow Wolf at home is not enough for him to eat, so he needs to find a way to get some second-tier monster meat.

Those Qi and Blood Pills that help with body refinement and replenish essence are simply unavailable nearby.

Unless you go to the nearest Immortal City—Wanling City—to buy it.

Currently, Jin Dou is asleep, Yun Yi is in seclusion, and Xue Tuan has advanced to the top level of the first tier, greatly increasing his treasure-hunting ability.

He had already cultivated to the ninth level of Qi Refining, but had never seriously hunted any demonic beasts.

The last time I hunted demons at Luoxia Mountain, it was just something I did on the way, not a special operation.

Who knew so many things would happen?

Currently, the women in the family are all cultivating their bodies, which has greatly increased their demand for demon beast meat.

First-tier beast meat can be replenished from the Qingye Mountain Market, but second-tier meat is extremely scarce in this remote area, and it's often impossible to buy.

Thinking of this, Chen Qian took out Su Yueshang's sensing talisman and sent a message—

"Yue Chang, where are you?"

That's right. Nearly three months have passed. Su Yueshang has submitted the intelligence obtained from killing Wang Juetian to Zuiyue Palace and has also recovered from her injuries.

We have now departed from Qiyue Valley and will soon arrive at Qianlong Mountain.

Although the two have not been together these days, they have maintained contact through the talisman.

Although the distance is far, it takes a long time for messages to travel back and forth.

Although the contact was intermittent, it was long enough for Chen Qian to tell Su Yueshang about his current situation.

Chen Qian had already learned most of Su Yueshang's situation.

The founding principles of Drunken Moon Palace dictate that the sect has no ambition for expansion; their only concern is to pass on the Illusory Sound Moon Scripture.

If we could take it a step further, it would be to push this peerless martial arts technique to the fifth level.

Unfortunately, Su Lianchen, who was once such a peerless genius, was saddened by the death of the Hidden Edge Pavilion's swordsman and was unable to become a god.

Of course, this is also related to the fact that Li Kingdom does not have any spiritual veins of the middle grade or above of the fourth rank.

Let alone the mere Li Kingdom, as far as Su Yueshang knows, there isn't a single fifth-order spiritual vein in the entire Dragon Tail Domain.
