21: Chapter 21 Body Tempering Technique

In the blink of an eye, another seven days had passed. A light rain had watered the earth, and the seeds of the Epimedium had sprouted.

The large patch of transplanted Epimedium had regained its vitality and was growing vigorously!

Lu Hu managed to get up early in the morning for once. The transplanted Epimedium was already mature, and it was time for the harvest today.

[Ding, harvested one Epimedium, rewarded with one wisp of Yang Qi.]

[Current task: Harvest ten Epimedium (1/10)]

[Ding, harvested one Epimedium, rewarded with one wisp of Yang Qi]

[Current task: Harvest ten Epimedium (2/10)]

...

[Ding, harvested one Epimedium, rewarded with one wisp of Yang Qi]

[Current task: Harvest ten Epimedium (9/10)]

[Ding, harvested one Epimedium, rewarded with one wisp of Yang Qi]

[Ding, congratulations on completing the 'Harvest ten Epimedium' task, rewarded with one Xianlingpi seed (stored in the system inventory, Spirit Coin × 10).]

[Ding, congratulations on completing five novice tasks, rewarded with one gift package (stored in the system inventory)]

...

With ten wisps of Yang Qi entering his body, Lu Hu felt refreshed, but there wasn't much other change.

Tigers are inherently of the Pure Yang Body; ten wisps of Yang Qi might have some effect on ordinary tigers, but for Lu Hu, it was negligible.

"The fifth task also has a gift package."

Lu Hu pondered. One, three, five... would the next one be seven?

Or would it be ten directly?

Forget it, let's just open the gift package and see.

[Ding, congratulations to the host for obtaining the "Spirit Tiger Body Tempering Art", five hundred Spirit Coins, and fifty cubic meters of spiritual soil.]

Body Tempering!

The Spirit Tiger looked down at his strong forelimbs. Did his copper skin and iron bones still need tempering?

Tsk tsk~

How hard would he become in the future!

Lu Hu took out the jade slip, and knowledge once again drilled into his brain.

It turned out that the "Spirit Tiger Body Tempering Art" and the "Spirit Tiger Qi Refining Art" could be operated together, complementing each other to maximize the refining and circulation of energy within the body.

The greatest function of the Body Tempering and Qi Refining Arts was the ability to refine all energy to temper oneself. Upon reaching mastery, one would obtain the corresponding Spirit Body, thereby becoming immune to that corresponding energy.

This was a cultivation technique for developing various antibodies!

Lu Hu discovered the true purpose of the Body Tempering Art: it could use all types of energy for cultivation. If he used lightning to cultivate, he would develop antibodies to lightning; if he used fire, he would develop antibodies to fire; if he used poison...

If cultivated to mastery, he could also obtain the corresponding Spirit Body.

Being able to use ordinary elemental energy to improve one's cultivation physique after birth—this technique was terrifyingly strong.

If he cultivated through all elemental energies and obtained all physiques, wouldn't he be immune to all attacks?

Chaos Body?

Don't think about it, thinking about it more will just make him lose focus.

Lu Hu suppressed his swelling ego and checked a spell that came with the Body Tempering Art: Primitive True Form.

After mastering the basics of the Body Tempering Art, his bones would be reshaped, possessing vitality, and allowing him to control his size.

By operating the Body Tempering Art at full power, he could transform into his Primitive True Form.

Changing forms seemed pretty good.

Lu Hu chewed on a tiger fruit and began practicing the Body Tempering Art. After running it twice, it fused with the Qi Refining Art, complementing each other.

[Name: Lord Tiger. Cultivation Technique: Spirit Tiger Qi Refining Art, Spirit Tiger Body Tempering Art. Realm: Refining Essence into Qi. Magic: Five Elements Magic. Divine Abilities: None.]

...

After thinking for a moment, Lu Hu checked the "Spirit Tiger Body Tempering Art" technique individually.

[Technique: Spirit Tiger Body Tempering Art. Realm: Beginner. Pure Yang Body: 70%. Yuan Spirit Body: 13%. Spirit Body: 10%. Earth Spirit Body: 5%. Soul Spirit Body: 2.5%. Fire Spirit Body: 1.5%. Metal Spirit Body: 1%. Water Spirit Body: 0.3%. Wood Spirit Body: 0.09%. Creation Body: 0.01%. Wind Spirit...]

This was the progress of his physique. Once cultivated to the maximum, he could evolve into the true corresponding physique. From high to low, the subsequent decimals became smaller and smaller, basically negligible.

It was no surprise that the progress of the Pure Yang Body was the highest.

The Spirit Body was related to spiritual energy; he cultivated by refining the spiritual energy of heaven and earth every day, so having progress was understandable. That the Yuan Spirit Body was above the Spirit Body was somewhat unexpected.

"The Yuan Spirit Body should be related to primordial energy; Ginseng replenishes primordial energy."

In that case, it made sense. He had only been cultivating for a few months, but he had been munching on Ginseng for almost three years, so the primordial energy that had entered his body was higher than spiritual energy.

The progress of the Earth Spirit Body was actually at five percent.

It should be related to the Xuanhuang Qi rewarded by the system that one time.

The Soul Spirit Body... it might be related to not forgetting his past life, or perhaps related to the soul origin rewarded by the system.

As for the physique progress below, it was due to the Five Elements Magic.

"With this progress, I can prescribe the right medicine and cultivate the Spirit Bodies."

Lu Hu closed the cultivation interface and opened the mall. He hadn't spent the three hundred Spirit Coins he obtained last time, and this time he received another five hundred.

Being wealthy, there was no need to be stingy anymore.

Lu Hu bought nine Tiger Fruit Tree saplings in one go, spent another one hundred Spirit Coins to buy a Vermilion Fruit Tree, and then bought spiritual fertilizer, stopping only when he had five hundred Spirit Coins left.

Lu Hu stored the more than one hundred bags of spiritual fertilizer in the wooden house warehouse in the sinkhole. He didn't participate much in the spiritual fields now; Tiger Dad and General Hei were responsible for them.

Lu Hu usually put the spiritual fertilizer in the warehouse to save them from having to ask him every time they needed it.

[Harvest ten Dendrobium (0/10)]

[Harvest ten Millettia reticulata (0/10)]

[Harvest ten Sedum (0/10)]

After the Epimedium task was completed, a new task was refreshed: Sedum, a medicinal herb for stopping bleeding, reducing swelling, and detoxifying, which was also recorded in the "compendium of a hundred herbs".

In Lu Hu's memory, there were no such herbs nearby. Not just Sedum; Dendrobium and Millettia reticulata were also missing.

"It's time to go out and grind tasks."

Lu Hu had the idea of going out to search for herbs, and also wanted to find some resources for cultivating the Body Tempering Art.

Such a good technique had to be utilized.

The next day, Lu Hu gave instructions to Tiger Dad and General Hei, encouraged the Wild Boar King, and then set off on his journey to find herbs.

...

In the blink of an eye, three days passed. Lu Hu stood upright under a large tree, his huge tiger paws clutching a stick, continuously poking at a poisonous beehive on the tree.

Buzz buzz~~

The poisonous bees, whose home was being disturbed, were furious and flew out of their nest, frantically attacking Lu Hu with their poisonous stingers.

Lu Hu didn't care; he grinned and continued poking, letting more poisonous bees fly out.

Not to mention his super-high defense, even just his thick tiger fur left the poisonous bees helpless.

It wasn't until he had harassed the poisonous bees in the hive into coming out in full force that Lu Hu stopped, allowing the poisonous bees to spray venom on his body.

At the same time, Lu Hu flicked his tail, and two poisonous snakes wrapped around his tail opened their fangs, biting into Lu Hu's fur and starting to secrete venom.

After a while, Lu Hu shook his body, and all the poisonous bees and snakes collapsed to the ground, weak and listless.

All the toxins on his body had been squeezed dry; not a drop could be squeezed out.

[Poison Spirit Body: 0.001%]

Lu Hu shook his head. The toxins were too weak, completely ineffective; it hadn't grown at all.

Forget it, let's just go home and plant herbs.

Lu Hu looked at the large amount of Dendrobium, Millettia reticulata, and Sedum in his space. During these three days, he had very smoothly collected these three types of herbs.

On the return journey, he accidentally saw two poisonous snakes fighting and had a sudden inspiration to use the venom of poisonous snakes to practice the Body Tempering Art and cultivate a Poison Spirit Body.

The result was truly disappointing; the snakes weren't poisonous enough, and the venom from a hive of poisonous bees wasn't enough either.

Lu Hu didn't dawdle any longer and quickly returned to Tiger King Valley. He dived into the sinkhole and discovered that the green lotus seed he had planted for over two months had finally sprouted.

It was tender green, full of vitality.

"Awoooo!"

Lu Hu was overjoyed. After carefully fertilizing the green lotus seed, he returned to Tiger King Valley, called the Wild Boar King, and began transplanting the medicinal herbs he had collected over the past three days.
