And the process of condensing the "Tao Wood" is equally perilous, with the potential to damage the Dantian and meridians, and even the risk of the body turning to "wood."
Many cultivators, driven by their greed for the power of this technique, have suffered severe injuries or even lost their lives in their haste to master it!
Even if the "Tao Wood" is successfully condensed, during subsequent cultivation, one must frequently gather the essence of myriad woods to temper the "Tao Wood," with ever-increasing demands on the quality of the Spirit Wood.
Furthermore, each minor breakthrough in this technique requires the cultivator to gather varying amounts of essence from Spirit Wood of older age, as if starting anew, to meld into the "Tao Wood."
Should one fail to do so, advancing to the next level becomes an insurmountable task.
