"The first layer mental method of the 'Nine Revolutions Medical Classic' is Marrow Cleansing, refining bones as tough as iron! The main function of this mental method is to expel as many impurities as possible from your body through cultivation, allowing every part of your body, from the outside to the inside, to make a qualitative leap!"
Qi Luyi slowly imparted the mental method of the 'Nine Revolutions Medical Classic' to Lei Feng and provided a detailed explanation.
"From the skin, to the muscles, then to the bones, and then to the organs, then the blood vessels, and finally the deepest level—the cells! Each must undergo tempering to reach the realm as hard as iron!"
"It's a strenuous process. Not only do you need to practice Qi cultivation daily, but you also need to undergo corresponding physical training. Only in this way can you gradually expel those impurities from your body, allowing every part to reach the state of bones as tough as iron! At this time, the first layer is considered complete!"
"After completing this first layer, why does it feel like being a master of the martial world?" Lin Feng couldn't help but speak up.
"Hehe, you must have read too many martial arts novels, huh? However, you can think of it that way. The martial world no longer exists in today's world, but Jianghu remains! There's a saying—where there are people, there is Jianghu, and that's exactly what it means!"
"In Jianghu, masters are divided into three main levels, known as Heaven, Earth, and Human. Within the Human level, there are again the early, middle, late, and peak stages. Similarly, the Earth and Heaven levels are also divided in this way."
"Completing the first layer mental method of the 'Nine Revolutions Medical Classic' is equivalent to the early stage of the Heaven level. In the entire Jianghu, that's already considered a master's realm!" Qi Luyi explained in detail.
"Equivalent to the early stage of the Heaven level! Then, what realm have the masters at the peak of the Heaven level reached?" Lin Feng suddenly took great interest in the Jianghu of the real world.
"A Heaven-level master can generate Protective True Qi. With Protective True Qi, ordinary blades and bullets can't harm them at all! A master who has reached the Peak Realm in the real world is basically invincible unless defeated by ultimate weapons like nuclear bombs or equal-level mighty individuals. Moreover, such a person can live nearly two hundred years!"
"However, such powerhouses are merely mundane figures, incomparable to us Cultivation Practitioners! As long as you reach the second layer of the 'Nine Revolutions Medical Classic,' even at the most basic level, you can easily defeat these Heaven-level peak masters!"
Qi Luyi didn't take those so-called Heaven-level peak masters seriously at all, and understandably so, for how could a being who had lived for a thousand years care about a worldly martial master?
Yet, this talk sounded utterly different to Lin Feng, who was still a layman.
"What is the second layer of the 'Nine Revolutions Medical Classic'?" Lin Feng asked eagerly.
"Hehe, why the rush, kid? But telling you is fine—the 'Nine Revolutions Medical Classic' will be imparted to you sooner or later!"
"The second layer of the 'Nine Revolutions Medical Classic' is called Nourishing Qi and Condensing Spirit! It corresponds to the Qi Cultivation Stage of ordinary Cultivation Techniques. Simply put, the second to ninth layers of the 'Nine Revolutions Medical Classic' correspond to: Qi Cultivation, Foundation Establishment, Core Formation, Nascent Soul, Divinity Transformation, Great Achievement, and Tribulation Level Ascension!"
"Qi Cultivation, Foundation Establishment? Do these realms really exist? I thought they were just made up in novels!" Lin Feng said, laughing. He had read many mystical martial arts novels and was very familiar with these levels.
"Ah, wait a minute!" Lin Feng suddenly realized a problem and quickly asked, "Ordinary cultivation techniques start with Qi Cultivation directly, why does the 'Nine Revolutions Medical Classic' include Body Refinement? Doesn't that put us behind others from the start?"
"Hmph! What do you know!" Qi Luyi said disdainfully. "Cultivators cultivate Qi, and one day, form a Golden Core, wield Magical Treasures, and travel through skies, looking splendid! However, Cultivation Practitioners invariably have to fight over treasures and extraordinary techniques, leading to injuries or death in lighter and heavier cases, respectively!"
"But these people only triumph over their opponents through the depth of their Spiritual Energy and the mysteries of their techniques, yet they ignore that their bodies are extremely frail. Once hit by an opponent's weapon, their whole body would be rendered useless! Without a Nascent Soul, they can only die in regret, and even if a Nascent Soul is formed, and they escape their enemies, they can only choose to cultivate as Immortal Ascetics!"
"The twelve calamities of Immortal Ascetics are extremely perilous; a slight misstep can lead to being struck by lightning and turned to ash, wasting thousands of years of hard cultivation!"
"However, our 'Nine Revolutions Medical Classic' is different, focusing on Body Refinement from the beginning, and throughout the cultivation process, we continue to refine the body. If you reach the highest realm, you can easily face and withstand the lightning tribulations. You can even use your body to confront thunder and ascend!"
"Even if you haven't reached the ultimate state, compared to ordinary Cultivation Practitioners of the same level, we hold an absolute advantage in physical strength, and in combat, we will undoubtedly have the upper hand!"
"Kid, now do you understand the importance of Body Refinement?"
"Ah! I see! Hehe, this principle must be understood by many people, right? So, don't other sects have Body Refinement in their cultivation techniques?" Lin Feng immediately voiced his doubts.
"Of course they do! Cultivators aren't fools! However, many sects' practices of Body Refinement are only superficial! How could they compare to our Medical Dao Sect? The method of Body Refinement in the 'Nine Revolutions Medical Classic' continuously tempers the physique according to the most basic physiological rules of the human body, achieving the optimal and strongest state! Besides, we are Medical Cultivators, knowing how to concoct Medicine Pills suitable for ourselves, making the effects of Body Refinement truly unparalleled!" Qi Luyi proudly said.
"Haha, so that's how it is! Then what are we waiting for? Teach me the first layer mental method now, I want to start cultivating!" Lin Feng exclaimed excitedly!
