After receiving Meng Yanâs reply, Qi Ping was relieved.
With Meng Yanâs status, acquiring an array secret manual was an easy task.
Moreover, having just slain three prodigies from opposing sects, he likely earned significant merit within the Cyan Origin Sect, so Qi Ping had no doubts about the success of this venture.
With the matter of acquiring the array resolved, Qi Ping continued to immerse himself in the life of farming and cultivation.
No matter how fierce the battles were outside, they were of no concern to him; he only needed to ensure his full support when Meng Yan faced danger, and he didnât care who won or lost otherwise.
His greatest aspiration now was to create his own domain where he could securely develop his farming and beekeeping enterprise!
...
"Acquiring the array will still take some time..."
"So during this period, I will focus on cultivating the high-aged spiritual medicine needed for Yaya and quickly nurturing the little flower demon to Tier Two."
"In the meantime, I will continue refining honey to enhance my cultivation, steadily reaching Qi Refining Perfection, and then attempt to cultivate the âBlazing Flame Glaze Bodyâ acquired from the Celestial Fire Pavilion man..."
Getting the âBlazing Flame Glaze Bodyâ from that Celestial Fire Pavilion member was an unexpected joy for Qi Ping.
After all, heâs killed his fair share of cultivators, but itâs rare for main cultivation techniques to drop, especially from sect disciples, as the storage bags seldom contain precious cultivation techniques.
Meng Yan also mentioned that to prevent sect techniques from leaking, itâs strictly prohibited to take cultivation technique jade slips out of the sect.
However, not only did that burly disciple from the Celestial Fire Pavilion bring out the âBlazing Flame Glaze Body,â but it was also a complete cultivation technique jade slip!
Qi Ping speculated that this body refining technique wasnât a Celestial Fire Pavilion technique but something the person obtained by coincidence.
"The âBlazing Flame Glaze Bodyâ... using blazing flames to refine the body, activating the bodyâs potential with fire refining... it requires a high body talent... needs fire attribute elixirs for cultivation..."
"Once mastered, the body becomes like glazed glass... unparalleled in both attack and defense..."
"This body refining technique is quite strong..."
After carefully comprehending it, Qi Ping found that the intention behind this body refining technique was quite high.
If mastered to perfection, not only would the physical body be unparalleled, but it would also possess an imposing aura capable of suppressing all things, a body refining technique that directly points to the true meaning of the law of the body...
Qi Ping estimated that the Celestial Fire Pavilion disciple should have been close to perfection; otherwise, his combat power wouldnât have been so formidable.
However, Qi Ping did not intend to fully cultivate this technique, only planning to leverage the method of igniting the bodyâs potential with flames to elevate his physical body to another level.
He estimated that reaching a level equivalent to a minor achievement in the âBlazing Flame Glaze Bodyâ would be the limit.
Going further would genuinely delve into the path of body cultivation.
And the paths of body refining and qi refining differ greatly, sometimes even conflicting, making it challenging to reach the pinnacle of both simultaneously.
After all, the roads for both are vastly different, and itâs tough for one body to reach the zenith on both paths simultaneously.
Many body refining techniques, when cultivated to the extreme, can even lead to an inability to practice qi refining techniques.
Therefore, the body refining techniques practiced by qi refining cultivators arenât truly body refining techniques in essence, focusing primarily on nurturing and refining the body with spiritual qi to enhance and transform the body, usually aiming to withstand the pressure from spiritual power circulation.
In contrast, true body refining techniques pursue extreme physical power, extreme offense, and extreme defense, causing drastic changes not conducive to qi cultivation.
Qi Pingâs reference to the spiritual qi nurturing and refining methods in the âBlazing Flame Glaze Bodyâ wouldnât result in such changes.
Generally, the methods of nurturing and refining the body with spiritual qi in true body cultivation techniques are top-notch, and thereâs no issue for qi refiners to practice them.
"With the help of firefly honey and the âBlazing Flame Glaze Body,â combined with my Beast Kingâs Flame and Yang Fire Body talent, completing the first phase of refining should not be too difficult..."
"Once this step is completed, my physical strength should reach a new level, more than sufficient for executing the Flame Burst Body Technique or breaking through to Foundation Establishment..."
...
Qi Ping comprehended this body refining technique for a full five days, ensuring he missed nothing before slowly attempting cultivation.
After ingesting a mouthful of fire glow honey, Qi Ping began using fire spiritual power infused with Beast Kingâs Flame to strengthen his body through special nurturing and refining methods...
Within a short time, Qi Ping noticed a rapid increase in his bodyâs strength and power!
"What powerful effects!"
Feeling the extent of his bodyâs strengthening, Qi Ping couldnât help but marvel.
"Indeed, knowledge is power. The cultivation techniques and methods honed by our predecessors prove far more effective than merely using spiritual medicine to enhance my abilities!"
This experience deepened Qi Pingâs understanding of the importance of knowledge.
"However, the excellent results are likely due to the long-term accumulation from consuming both Fire Spirit Body Tempering Honey and firefly honey, storing substantial medicinal power within the body, now finally unleashed through the âBlazing Flame Glaze Bodyâ technique..."
"This is a classic case of reaping from accumulated efforts, and my previous endeavors were not inefficient at all!"
With such rapid improvements, Qi Ping was motivated to cultivate, dedicating all his non-cultivation and non-spiritual medicine development time to refining his body using the âBlazing Flame Glaze Bodyâ method.
With Qi Pingâs innate Yang Fire Body and powerful Beast Kingâs Flame talent, his refining efficiency improved drastically every day.
...
A month later.
"Now the strength of my body can finally withstand the pressure from the Flame Burst Body Technique!"
At this moment, Qi Ping continuously performed the Flame Burst Body Technique, shuttling through piles of rocks with violent and terrifying power surging within him, yet without causing any stress!
"This is the full state of the Flame Burst Technique!"
Qi Pingâs spiritual power operated unrestrainedly within him, ready to unleash the most powerful Flame Burst Fireball and Flame Burst Net at any moment, with the Flame Burst Body Technique supporting extended bursts.
"If I encounter that burly man from the Celestial Fire Pavilion again, with my current physical strength and the support of Flame Burst Net and Tree Skin Technique, I could endure a head-on clash with him without much loss, perhaps even injuring him..."
Being able to confront a talented body cultivator head-on and not fall behind proves that Qi Pingâs defense has reached the top tier of his level.
"Not bad, not bad. Now I donât need to worry about my physical strength during battles or breaking through to Foundation Establishment for the time being!"
Feeling the powerful force and vigorous vitality from his body, Qi Ping was immensely satisfied.
Growth in power, increased lifespan, and an indescribable comfort in his bodyâthis is truly immortal cultivation!
About seven days later, Qi Ping finally received the news: the array was in hand!
