23: Spatial Body Refining Technique, fused with the innate wolfberry spear

Hearing this, Li Yun nodded in agreement.

A massive brawl among Cultivators, and essentially a battle between existences at the Grand Unity Golden Immortal level, was indeed extremely dangerous and unsafe.

Compared to the Houtu Tribe, Pangu Hall was clearly much safer, even its side hall.

Thinking up to this point, Li Yun immediately cupped his fists and bowed, saying, "Then I thank Ancestral Witch Houtu."

"Follow me!"

Without further ado, Houtu smiled slightly and stepped toward the side hall.

Seeing this, Li Yun immediately followed closely behind.

Soon, the two entered the side hall. The space inside was not large, but Li Yun could feel that the concentration of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi was immense, dozens of times denser than the outside world.

"What a wonderful Cultivation Holy Land!"

He praised it secretly in his heart. This place was definitely not inferior to any top-tier Grotto-Heaven Paradise. If he had been in seclusion here to Cultivate originally, he would not have needed three hundred years; his cultivation would have been able to Breakthrough in a maximum of one hundred years.

Thinking of this, Li Yun hesitated for a moment before turning to look at Houtu and asking, "Ancestral Witch Houtu, I have an presumptuous request, I wonder if it is possible?"

"Oh, what is it?"

"As long as it doesn't involve the forbidden secrets of my Witch race, I can agree to it."

Raising an eyebrow, Houtu looked at Li Yun with some curiosity.

After all, Li Yun had spoken to the Witch race twice before: the first time was for an Innate Spirit Treasure, and the second was to obtain the Witch race's protection. What was this third time for?

"The Witch race's Body Refining technique!"

Having received her tacit approval, Li Yun stopped beating around the bush and said straightforwardly, "I hope to learn the Body Refining technique unique to the Witch race!"

"Ancestral Witch Houtu should be able to sense that, frankly, my Breakthrough is not weak; ordinary Medium Grade Innate Spirit Treasures cannot break my defense."

"However, this is only the strength of my Physical Body's defense. In terms of strength and stamina, I am quite lacking. Therefore, I want to learn the Witch race's Body Refining technique to completely make up for the deficiencies of my Physical Body!"

After speaking, Li Yun stared intently at Houtu, awaiting her reply.

After all, throughout the entire Primordial World, the Witch race had the most authority when it came to Body Refining, and their Body Refining technique was definitely the strongest.

"So it was this!"

Houtu was startled for a moment, then a bright smile appeared on her face.

She had thought Li Yun wanted something else, but unexpectedly, it was the Body Refining technique, which countless Cultivators disdained and spat upon.

Moreover, Li Yun's Physical Body was indeed powerful. If he could combine it with a Body Refining technique, he would definitely not be much inferior to the Witch race's Lesser Witches, which was also what Houtu wanted to see.

Thinking of this, Houtu immediately said, "No problem!"

"However, we Ancestral Witches each have our own set of Body Refining techniques, established based on our respective Laws. The Body Refining techniques passed down within the clan are also the same, practiced according to each clansman's attributes."

"Fellow Daoist Li Yun, I am not very clear about your situation, so it is difficult to decide which version of the Body Refining technique you should learn!"

Hearing this, Li Yun was also somewhat surprised.

That the Body Refining technique actually had twelve versions was truly unexpected information.

However, thinking about his own situation, he possessed the Void Law, the Law of Water, and the Law of Fire, meaning he was suitable for the Body Refining techniques of the three Ancestral Witches corresponding to Space, Water, and Fire.

After a slight pause, Li Yun looked at Ancestral Witch Houtu and said, "Ancestral Witch Houtu, I wish to learn Ancestral Witch Di Jiang's Spatial Body Refining Technique, I wonder if that is possible?"

"Spatial Body Refining Technique?"

Houtu's willow brows furrowed slightly, and she scrutinized Li Yun doubtfully, asking, "Are you sure?"

"Without the blessing of the Law of Space, this Spatial Body Refining Technique is extremely dangerous. A slight mistake could lead to death."

"I am sure!"

Nodding, Li Yun stopped being mysterious. He reached out and directly mobilized the power of the Void Law, condensing faint spatial fluctuations in the palm of his hand.

After doing all this, Li Yun said, "I am an Innate God-Demon Foundation, and since my birth, I have carried ten percent of the power of the Void Law."

"This Void Law is not the complete Law of Space, but it is a type of the Law of Space, so the Spatial Body Refining Technique is also suitable for me to Cultivate."

After speaking, Li Yun felt a bit helpless inside.

It wasn't that he liked deceiving people, but some things concerned his own secrets, and he truly couldn't speak of them, especially since Houtu wasn't his Dao Companion, so they hadn't reached the point of sharing secrets.

"So that's how it is!"

In contrast, Houtu's eyes were even brighter at this moment.

She clearly understood what an Innate God-Demon level Foundation represented. Furthermore, since the Void Law belonged to the Law of Space sequence, it was definitely not weak in itself.

Li Yun might seem a bit weak right now, but his future potential was immense and definitely wouldn't be much inferior to theirs, the Ancestral Witches.

If that were the case, and if the future Li Yun became strong enough to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with her... Houtu's earlobes turned slightly red. She quickly composed herself and looked at Li Yun, saying, "You may. Since you are able to Cultivate it, I will pass the Spatial Body Refining Technique on to you."

"Wait a moment!"

After speaking, Ancestral Witch Houtu turned and left the side hall.

"Was that an illusion?"

"I shouldn't be seeing things, right!"

"Did Ancestral Witch Houtu just look shy?"

Watching Ancestral Witch Houtu leave, Li Yun muttered with a strange expression.

After a long while, Li Yun regained his senses. With a thought, he summoned the Innate Goji Berry Spear. His lips curled up as he said, "I thought it was a bit useless before, but now it seems to have some value."

"Fusion!"

The next second, the Ability to Fuse All Things activated.

In just an instant, the Innate Goji Berry Long Spear was absorbed into the Fusion Space within his upper dantian.

[Ding! Fusion successful. Congratulations to the Host for acquiring the extreme yang characteristic!]

[extreme yang: The ultimate Yang, life inexhaustible, diligence unceasing!]

"As expected, I obtained the extreme yang characteristic."

The corners of his mouth lifted, and a smile appeared on Li Yun's face.

This extreme yang characteristic didn't provide much improvement to his personal strength, but it gave him an ability envied by countless men: life inexhaustible, diligence unceasing—completely turning him into a Perpetual Motion Machine.

Furthermore, under the blessing of extreme yang, his Essence, Qi, and Spirit were incredibly vigorous, which also provided a significant boost to himself.

"Da da da~"

At this moment, footsteps echoed, and Ancestral Witch Houtu returned.

Soon, Ancestral Witch Houtu arrived in front of Li Yun and handed him a Jade Slip recording the Spatial Body Refining Technique, saying, "This contains the content of the Spatial Body Refining Technique after I translated it."

"After you memorize it, destroy it. Although the Body Refining technique of my Witch race is not a forbidden secret, we will not casually give it to outsiders."

Hearing this, the smile on Li Yun's face grew wider.

Can't give it to outsiders, so what about himself? He wasn't an outsider!

However, he did not speak these words out loud. He reached out, took the jade talisman, and thanked her, saying, "Thank you, Ancestral Witch Houtu. I remember. After learning it, I will destroy it and not let it spread, nor will I teach it to anyone else!"
