Chapter Fourteen Progress

  His hands were numb with cold, and they trembled convulsively. Just yesterday, he had thought that he would become a miserable existence, expelled from the Luo Fu Sect.

  Luo Fu Sect is a major sect of Taoism, and for outer disciples, the management is strict. Unless they have gone through enough years and are allowed to leave Luo Fu Sect, others who are expelled are always abandoned in their Xuan Gong practice.

  Cultivators are like boats sailing against the current, especially during the Body Refining stage. Once they fall behind, unless they encounter a great opportunity, it's difficult for them to regain their original height. Furthermore, with the scarcity of good cultivation resources in the outside world, most cultivators who have fallen behind can at best become powerful figures in the martial arts world, dominating a region, while many others will be reduced to ordinary people.

  But today, everything changed. He unexpectedly possessed the Xian Gu bone, the most precious innate talent for cultivating truth, and also obtained the Xuan Tian Yu Lian Shen Gong, making up for his last shortcoming.

  In the stage of refining the body, the physical body is a very important item. When the true energy is converted to the true origin, it represents the secular world. The difference between post-heaven and pre-heaven, without a strong physique as support, this pass will increase many twists and turns. Many who reach the peak of body refinement often seek out top-grade elixirs to help temper their bodies.

  A burst of excitement, the depression that had been pent up inside him suddenly dissipated. With the Xuan Tian Yu Lian Shen Gong, his efficiency in absorbing spiritual energy was several times higher than before. At the very least, he would be able to break through to the second level of the outer sect without any problems. In this case, staying in the Luo Fu Sect wouldn't be a problem.

  "Feng Han, you're late! Hurry up!" The voice of Qi Zhi Xiao came from outside the door. Feng Han only then realized that it was already daylight, and the gray-robed disciples were heading towards Geng Thirteen Peak. He hastily responded with a "yes" and rushed out the door with his things.

  Her mood improved, and her footsteps became much lighter. Qi Zhi Xiao didn't mind that the monthly task was just around the corner, but his own task was still a little short, so he calculated every day how to make it even better.

  On the mountain of medicine, the uncertainty of spiritual energy makes the growth of the five-metal mine also irregular. The medicinal field that was opened up yesterday may have grown out of the five-metal mine overnight, affecting the growth of medicinal materials, and a certain proportion must be reserved, increasing the workload by a lot.

  In the medicine field, the five-metal mine that was scattered all over seemed to be thinking of teasing and ridiculing the weak and almost dying spiritual medicine. The spiritual medicine struggled to survive in the midst of being surrounded by the five-metal mine, but unfortunately it had been squeezed out of too much nutrients and was not far from death.

  Picked up the medicine shovel that was still here yesterday, relying solely on physical strength, it was slightly laborious, and could lift 700-800 catties of medicine shovel, which had indeed improved a lot in terms of strength. The true energy circulated, and the cold current moved towards the place where the remaining spiritual medicine was more concentrated.

  In an area of about half a mu, seven or eight large pieces of scrap metal were scattered and lying flat, as if mocking the incompetence of the cold winter, with only a few sparse ginseng plants struggling to survive beside them.

  This was the place he cleaned up yesterday, unexpectedly, today, there is no new generation of metal ore, as long as today and tomorrow, this small area will no longer have metal ore appear, the probability of completing the task is very high. As soon as he thought of Rolling Dragon Whip, his back involuntarily tensed up. In order to avoid being beaten, time cannot be wasted, he picked up the medicine hoe and started a day's work.

  In the midst of labor, Bafeng Han discovered the benefits of yesterday's power boost. The work in the medicine field was physically demanding, and true energy could substitute for physical strength, but it couldn't last long. This was the root cause of his low efficiency in clearing the land. Just the collision between the medicine hoe and the hard five-metal ore made his whole body ache unbearably.

  Today, his tempered body seemed to have every muscle working in harmony, maintaining a certain frequency of vibration as if by instinct, effortlessly shedding the impact generated by the vibrations, allowing him to work with all his might. In just one short morning, he completed one piece of metal ore and nearly half of another.

  It seems that he can finish three blocks today, which is a significant improvement, but it also makes him feel a little regretful. In terms of results, he should have cleared more than three blocks, unfortunately, the time spent overnight was enough for the Five Metal Mine to grow back, making his incomplete clearance equivalent to useless effort.

  The sun was slightly tilted, and the cold wind had cleared two blocks. There were still more than two hours before descending the mountain, enough for him to clear the third block. He sat down to rest, but his eyes were fixed on the iron ore mine.

  That piece of medicinal field is one of his fields where there are no large deposits of five-metal ore, and if he wants to complete the monthly task, this is the only possibility.

  Unfortunately, even with good luck, three pieces are always not enough. The five-metal mine that costs seven or eight pieces, let's say he has been lucky all the time, in the next few days, the five-metal mine will appear less frequently here, but no matter what, some reserves are needed, right? Clearing four pieces every day is the most basic thing.

  How can efficiency be improved?

  He, without a clue, picked up the hoe and headed to the Five Metal Mine. With plenty of time on his hands, he allocated half a period to clear the area, leaving him with almost an entire period to study the weaknesses of the Five Metal Mine.

  Everything has its characteristics and weaknesses. Once you understand its characteristics and weaknesses, it's easier to process them. What are the weaknesses of metal mines?

  After carefully recalling the memories, this body has also been in contact with the Five Metal Mine for a long time. In a year's time, several hundred blocks have been cleared, but after careful recollection, it seems that there is no weakness. The Five Metal Mine, even if the five elements are mixed together, is still much harder than fine steel all over, and can only be used with heavy medicinal hoes, hard against hard.

  "In terms of properties, there's no hope, and I'm not familiar with the mines of Wujin either! So I can only start from another aspect! Baofeng Han swung up his medicine shovel, facing the Wujin mine, and made a crazy strike from various angles, parabolic curves, arcs, parabolas..."

  In the midst of a chaotic strike, suddenly, an action that was smooth and effortless landed on the metal ore, with a light "ding" sound. On the surface of the metal ore, a one-centimeter gap appeared out of nowhere.

  "Found it!" Bao Fenghan exclaimed excitedly, carefully recalling his recent movements, trying to figure out the pattern. After thinking for half a day, he discovered that it wasn't any of the mechanics theories he understood, but rather the Xuan Tian Yu Lian Shen Gong he had just practiced last night, which coincidentally matched up.

  Xiuzhen, in itself, is an inexplicable thing that cannot be explained by science. This world is probably no longer the material world on Earth. Some basic theories are contradictory, which is normal. But unexpectedly, he found a solution after searching for half a day, which was actually already in his mind all along. Could it be that the Xuantian Jade Refining Technique, apart from being a body-refining method, is also an incomplete martial art?
