Chapter 114: The Ancient Witch

  Two days later, Ding Yan sat cross-legged in the stone room, opened his eyes, and suddenly spat out a mouthful of turbid air. The leaves in his hand burst with a loud "crack", and the green dust scattered everywhere. After absorbing the spiritual liquid, the leaves contained nearly a hundred times more spiritual energy than before. Ding Yan spent two whole days to completely absorb the spiritual energy from that piece of leaf.

  He sensed that his cultivation had completely stabilized and even showed signs of breaking through to the middle stage. Without the constraints of mood and soul power, Ding Yan's cultivation speed was unparalleled, and in just two days of closed-door training, he had already stabilized the realm of a scattered immortal.

  "It seems that I need to temper my physical body." Ding Yan sank into thought for a moment, then swung his sleeve.

  An ancient scroll of Daoist paintings flew out from his sleeve and unfolded in mid-air.

  Ding Yan stretched out his index finger, lightly tapping the screen with his fingertips flashing a faint blue light, as if extracting something from the painting. A distorted lightning bolt was brought out from the painting. In the ancient paintings of that genre, the mark left by the lightning was much clearer.

  "This is the ninth heavenly thunder, I'll extract one-tenth of it to temper my physical body, it shouldn't cause any harm." In order to eliminate the residual obsession in his flesh as soon as possible and thoroughly rebirth, Ding Yan had no choice but to think of ways to improve his cultivation.

  Blue lightning coiled around Ding Yan's fingertips like a jumping little snake, transmitting a burst of violent thoughts.

  Extracting the Heavenly Tribulation to refine the body, in ancient times, it was not that no one had done it before. However, these people were all unparalleled strongmen who shook an era. Since the spiritual energy of heaven and earth gradually dissipated, nearly ten thousand years have passed without anyone succeeding in extracting the Heavenly Tribulation to refine their body. Ordinary scattered immortals, when crossing the tribulation, are not careful enough, let alone extracting the heavenly thunder, they can't even dodge it.

  A wisp of immortal energy, under Ding Yan's control, slowly overflowed from his palm, completely enveloping the lightning bolt.

  Hmmm...

  "Qian Kun Lian Ti Jue!" A hint of yin and yang flashed in Ding Yan's eyes, then he closed them.

  The Qiankun Dao Jing, as an ancient scripture, contains many divine abilities. These divine abilities were previously unable to be displayed due to Ding Yan's cultivation level. However, with the improvement of his cultivation realm, the divine abilities recorded in the Qiankun Dao Jing will appear one by one.

  Lightning flashed and twisted, following Ding Yan's meridians, slowly seeping into his body.

  After the thunderbolt entered his body, a violent and turbulent aura of thunder suddenly erupted from Ding Yan's body in the stone room, as if the Thunder God had descended to the mortal world. Twisted bolts of lightning continuously overflowed from within him.

  In the body, after Lei Gang was absorbed, it dispersed into dozens of strands, under Ding Yan's control, and began to wander among several major meridians. The violent Lei Gang had an astonishing power, and when Ding Yan crossed his tribulation before, he also absorbed a lot of heavenly tribulation's power to temper his flesh body, but those were all the previous heavenly thunders, compared to this ninth heavenly thunder, it was unknown how much weaker they were.

  Bang...

  Thunderbolts raged and howled, directly shattering dozens of Ding Yan's meridians. This was still due to his previous absorption of heavenly thunder; otherwise, the overbearing power of the ninth heavenly thunder would have been enough to shatter his physical body.

  A thread of fresh blood overflowed from the corner of Ding Yan's mouth.

  She stretched out her left hand and took another leaf from the quiet Tianling tree behind her.

  Because there is no dan medicine, Ding Yan currently has no choice but to use these leaves as a substitute.

  A wisp of spiritual energy was absorbed into Ding Yan's body, flowing towards the broken meridians, beginning to repair the broken meridians. The green aura surrounded him, and the spiritual energy extracted from the leaves was under Ding Yan's control, gradually healing the fractured meridians. After healing, the meridians were much more resilient than before, and their width had also expanded significantly.

  Bang.

  The thunderstorm is coming again.

  Repair.

  Time and time again, the fracture, time and time again, the repair. Every time the meridian is broken, Ding Yan can feel a heart-wrenching pain, but relatively speaking, with each collapse and rebirth, Ding Yan's meridian becomes more and more resilient, until finally, Lei Gang can no longer shatter it.

  As time went on, Leigong gradually weakened.

  Gradually, the meridians began to absorb after being repaired.

  A day and night passed.

  The lightning surrounding Ding Yan's body gradually faded away, and the leaves in his hand also lost their luster. After a long time, Ding Yan slowly opened his eyes and let out a breath. Looking at his right hand, Ding Yan could clearly feel the power contained within his physical body, which was many times stronger than before.

  He picked up a piece of black stone, and with a slight movement in his heart, he gathered his five fingers.

  *gulp*

  Hard black stone was directly pinched into powder.

  No use of Yuan Li at all, this is purely physical strength.

  "My current physical body has already reached the mid-term standard of a scattered immortal, ordinary scattered immortals can probably be blown up with just one punch..." Ding Yan estimated.

  The power of thunder to refine the body, the effect is extremely unbearable for ordinary people. If Ding Yan didn't rely on the Qiankun Lian Ti Jue, plus his soul realm far surpassing his cultivation level, it would be almost impossible to use thunder to refine his body. Even if he forcibly absorbed it, it would only bring irreparable damage to his physical body.

  Moreover, when undergoing the heavenly tribulation to refine one's body, the pain endured is by no means something an ordinary person can withstand.

  Ding Yan's mind was extremely firm. If it weren't for this, he wouldn't have been able to support the Qian Kun Sect alone for so many years in his past life.

  "It's a pity that this ninth heavenly thunderbolt is too overbearing. If I absorb it again, I'm afraid it will bring irreparable damage to my physical body." After slightly sensing it, Ding Yan discovered the extremely fine and small internal injuries between his meridians.

  This is an aftereffect of the Heavenly Thunder Physique Refining, it needs time to recover from.

  Thunderbolt Body Refining is an extremely overbearing method, even with the guidance of the Qiankun Body Refining Technique, it will still leave behind hidden injuries.

  "It's time to exchange some elixirs, but I don't have any yuan stones on me right now..." Thinking of this, Ding Yan waved his hand and took out dozens of ancient books from the Qiankun sleeve.

  These ancient books were all obtained by Ding Yan in the storage space of Huang Quan Old Immortal in the city of wrongful death, because other things had already decayed, so Ding Yan's only gain was these tattered books.

  Since there was no yuan stone, Ding Yan prepared to take one or two unwanted ancient books to exchange for some yuan stones.

  "Mind and Body Cultivation Great Law..." Ding Yan picked up a book and flipped it open casually.

  As a top figure who has passed through nine scattered immortal calamities, Huang Quan Laotian naturally wouldn't keep anything inferior.

  The Mind-Body Cultivation Great Law is a divine technique collected by the Old Sage of the Yellow Spring, specifically used for cultivating the body. The cultivation of scattered immortals is divided into three steps: first is power, which refers to the accumulation of yuan energy and the strengthening of the physical body; second is mental state; third is soul. In ordinary cultivation methods, all three are generally involved, but none are top-notch. Only those extraordinary ancient classics contain the top-notch cultivation methods for these three aspects.

  However, the number of ancient scriptures is too small, so few that even after thousands of years, not a single one will appear.

  In order to reach the pinnacle, some of those with innate talents gradually explored a single cultivation method.

  For example, ancient Gu who only cultivated their physical body, or witches who only cultivate their soul, and Confucians who only cultivate their mental state.

  The Intention Cultivates Body Great Method is a kind of ancient formula that only cultivates the physical body!
