The Twin Star Jaded Dragon Cultivation Method seemed to be a little strange. The first part talked about perceiving qi before starting body refinement. Body refinement was refining one's body with spiritual qi. It would strengthen one's skin, muscles, and bones. There were nine ranks in body refinement. Each rank would strengthen one's body more, making one a lot stronger than they were before.
After body refinement was qi gathering. Qi gathering was how one strengthened their meridians and prepared one's dantian to hold spiritual qi. It would use spiritual qi to refine one's dantian into a strong container in order to hold a spiritual qi pool when one broke through to qi condensation. Qi gathering also made one's strength greater than it was before. This also had nine ranks as well.
