38: Shen Jinhuan's winning method

For more than ten days in a row, Jiang Ning spent his mornings Body Tempering Shen Jinhuan, his afternoons detoxifying Li Yunxi, and his evenings cultivating.

His days were very fulfilling.

July 15th.

There was still a full month until the Bixiao Sect Competition.

The Bixiao Sect was bustling with activity.

This was because before the Sect Competition, specifically on August 13th, the Bixiao Sect would open its mountain gates to recruit Disciples.

The assessments would last two days, and new Disciples would be assigned to their respective Peaks before sunset on August 14th.

Whether they became personal Disciples, outer Disciples, or even mere laborers, it all depended on these two days.

The Affairs Hall had been unusually busy recently.

As an Affairs Hall Disciple, Ye Xi not only had to maintain the normal operations of the Affairs Hall but also had to make time to prepare for the new Disciple admissions.

During a rare moment of rest, Ye Xi complained to her fellow Disciples:

"After Sixth Elder left, I feel like the Sect is not as interesting anymore."

"I don't think you find it uninteresting."

Her fellow Disciple winked at Ye Xi.

"I think you've taken a liking to Sixth Elder, Ye Zi. Sixth Elder doesn't have a Dao Companion yet, so you should pursue him early!"

Ye Xi's face immediately turned red.

She playfully punched her friend.

"You're asking for a beating!"

Sect Leader Peak.

The stone door of the cultivation chamber opened.

Yun Qingyao walked out with a joyful expression.

"Beautiful Master, Qing Yao has finally perfected Body Tempering!"

Qiong Yu nodded in satisfaction, "With your talent, if your state of mind hadn't been disturbed last time, you would have started Qi Refining much earlier.

These next few days, I will teach you the Azure Sky Art and personally help you guide Qi into your body. Since you've perfected Body Tempering, your progress after Qi Refining is bound to be rapid!"

"Okay!"

Yun Qingyao looked into the distance.

Shen Jinhuan, my Body Tempering is faster than yours, and my Cultivation Technique is the best in the Sect. How will you ever win against me?

...Lingwu City.

Inside the small courtyard at No. 8, Thirteenth Street.

Shen Jinhuan looked at the zixiao cauldron still placed in the courtyard, a worried expression on her face.

"Revered Master, can I really catch up to Yun Qingyao's progress?"

The Human Pill Technique had already progressed to refining the internal organs, but there was only one month left until the Sect Competition.

Although she would definitely perfect Body Tempering before the competition, Yun Qingyao would surely be faster than her.

The Bixiao Sect Revered Master's Cultivation Technique was the Profound Rank High Grade Azure Sky Art, but Jiang Ning's Cultivation Technique was the Profound Rank Low Grade Azure Wave Art.

Not only was her progress slower, but there was also a significant difference in Cultivation Techniques.

Jiang Ning patted the little girl's head.

This was the first time she had revealed her worries about the female lead to him.

He thought for a moment.

He said, "There is no gap between perfect Body Tempering and perfect Body Tempering.

But I think, if it's about entering the Qi Refinement Stage, half a month earlier or later won't make too much of a difference in strength.

They are both in the Early Stage of Qi Refining, so besides comparing the density of Spiritual Qi, it's about who is more proficient with their offensive techniques."

Currently, neither the female lead's Glazed Holy Body nor Shen Jinhuan's Demonic Body had been activated.

Their cultivation speed was just the speed of an ordinary Genius.

Jiang Ning knew that the little girl wanted to prove herself in this Sect Competition.

So Jiang Ning had planned this training very early on.

He smiled and said, "You don't need to worry. After you perfect Body Tempering, I will help you guide Qi into your body as quickly as possible.

Besides that, I will go ask the Li Family Head for help to find a Body Refining technique for me.

I've discovered that the Human Pill Technique not only boosts Body Tempering.

If one pursues the path of Body Cultivation, as long as the quality of the flames can keep up, it can support one all the way to the Golden Body Realm."

The Body Cultivator system is different from the normal immortal cultivation system.

After Body Tempering, comes the Body Refining Realm, followed by the Spirit Embryo Realm, Golden Body Realm, Divine Power Realm, Thousand Mountain Realm, Myriad Manifestations Realm, and Dharma Aspect Realm!

The Golden Body Realm corresponds to the Golden Core Realm.

Jiang Ning paused, then continued:

"After that, we will go to Lingwu Mountain to hunt Spirit Beasts and gain combat experience.

Yun Qingyao is pampered in the Sect. Although she gets good resources, her combat experience and tempering are ultimately too little."

Shen Jinhuan thought about it.

It was true.

Jiang Ning really had made serious plans for her.

Therefore, after detoxifying Li Yunxi in the afternoon, Jiang Ning brought up the matter of Body Refining Cultivation Techniques to Li Tingyue.

Li Tingyue looked at Shen Jinhuan, who, though young, already showed signs of future extraordinary beauty.

He said in shock, "Brother Jiang, the path of Body Cultivation is not easy. Are you sure you want Huanhuan to take this path?"

"Not exactly taking it."

Jiang Ning smiled, "It's just that for Huanhuan, there's a very important competition coming up soon. Her opponent will guide Qi into her body half a month earlier and has abundant resources.

I've learned the Human Pill Technique, so I'm just helping her find a way to win.

In the future, she will largely still follow the normal cultivation path."

Li Tingyue suddenly understood.

"I see. However, there are few Body Cultivators in this world, so Body Refining Cultivation Techniques will naturally be even scarcer.

But since Brother Jiang has asked, I will mobilize the entire clan to find a Body Tempering Cultivation Technique for Huanhuan."

"Thank you, Brother Li."

Jiang Ning cupped his hands in thanks.

While they were talking, Shen Jinhuan and Li Yunxi, whose complexion had greatly improved, were also chatting.

The little girl had rarely made a friend, and their bond was strong.

Li Yunxi glanced at Jiang Ning and whispered, "Huanhuan, are you really willing to take the path of a Body Cultivator?"

After removing the toxins from her skin, flesh, and bones, Li Yunxi's complexion looked normal.

She no longer needed to sleep on that cold bed.

Her entire skin had become much more rosy.

Shen Jinhuan hummed an affirmation.

Her eyes were resolute.

"I must win this match!"

Li Yunxi nodded.

She had originally worried that Senior Jiang had chosen it for Shen Jinhuan.

After all, what girl would be willing to take the path of a Body Cultivator?

Three days later.

After detoxifying Li Yunxi in the afternoon, it was still bright outside.

Li Yunxi's body was getting better and better, so Jiang Ning increased the intensity of the flames.

Now, they no longer needed to detoxify until late at night; only an hour and a half was sufficient.

Incidentally, he also helped Li Yunxi with Body Tempering.

Before being poisoned, Li Yunxi was already at the Late Stage of Body Tempering.

Putting away the zixiao cauldron, Li Tingyue said to Jiang Ning, "Brother Jiang, Wanbao Pavilion has acquired four Body Refining methods in the past three days, and they've already been sent to the mansion. Shall we go take a look?

But let me say upfront, these are all Yellow Rank Body Refining methods, so Brother Jiang shouldn't have too high expectations."

"Brother Li, you jest. I can't thank you enough."

Jiang Ning had a smiling face.

Finally, there was news.

Shen Jinhuan and Li Yunxi exchanged glances, and the two little girls walked ahead, one after the other.

Jiang Ning and Li Tingyue looked at each other and both laughed heartily.

Upon reaching the main hall, four Body Refining methods were laid out on the table.

The steward who had originally received Jiang Ning at Wanbao Pavilion was now an Elder of Wanbao Pavilion, named Li Gui.

He stood to the side, respectfully watching the two little girls who were selecting Cultivation Techniques.

Shen Jinhuan and Li Yunxi flipped through them, both frowning.

Seeing this, Jiang Ning walked over.

"Huanhuan, are none of these Cultivation Techniques satisfactory?"

Shen Jinhuan shook her head, a little disappointed.

She stepped aside, allowing Jiang Ning to look.

Jiang Ning glanced at them and chuckled.

These four Body Refining methods were not very suitable for girls to practice.

They were either something like 'Furious Bear Battle Body,' 'Azure Wolf Thousand Refinements,' or 'Poisonous Scorpion Body'... In short, they either made the body as strong and bulky as a bear or made one's body poisonous.

No wonder the little girl wasn't willing.

Li Tingyue was a bit embarrassed.

He asked Li Gui from Wanbao Pavilion, annoyed, "Are there any others? The ones you found aren't suitable for girls to cultivate!"

Li Gui had long anticipated this question and chuckled.

He pulled out a damaged scroll from his Storage Pouch.

"There's also a Profound Rank Medium Grade Body Refining technique, but it's an incomplete manuscript, so Li Gui didn't immediately take it out."

Li Tingyue knew Li Gui's little trick; he just wanted to make an impression in front of Brother Jiang.

He took it and handed it to Jiang Ning.

Jiang Ning opened it.

The two adults and two children huddled together, heads bowed, looking.

On the scroll, the five almost faded characters 'Hundred Beasts Form and Will Method' were written.
