Liu Jinxin has now reached the "Copper Skin Realm". After a period of adjustment and accumulation, he can break through the realm and enter the "Iron Bone Realm".
The "Iron Bone Realm" of physical cultivation is equivalent to the Qi training period of the immortal realm. In other words, Liu Jinxin can be considered a true monk only after he breaks through the realm.
However, it is more difficult to break through the realm through physical cultivation than any other cultivation method, because breaking through through physical cultivation is actually opening the shackles of the human body itself and fundamentally improving the level of life, which is more direct than other cultivation methods.
Therefore, physical cultivation progresses very quickly in the same realm. As long as the resources can keep up, most physical cultivation can reach the end of this realm.
However, if physical cultivation wants to break through the realm and continue to move forward, it requires opportunities, talents, resources and even luck.
"Copper skin", "iron bones" and "steel bars" are the first three realms of physical training, which are what people in the martial arts often call external training of muscles, bones and skin. It's just the degree of training of muscles, bones and skin that is required by physical training methods.
The level of training in martial arts is much greater.
The first three realms are relatively easy. As long as you have a certain talent for body training, you can push your physical training to the peak of the "Steel Reinforcement" realm even if you rely on resources.
This is the first stage of the physical training method. It mainly cultivates the skin, flesh, muscles and bones. After all is completed and breaks through to the "Silver Blood Realm", the golden body will be completed, which is often said to be a leak-free golden body. Gao Xingyu is at this stage.
.
The second stage includes three realms: "Silver Blood Realm", "Golden Jin Realm" and "Chalcedony Realm". As you can tell from the name, this is the beginning of cultivating body fluids. The "Jin" in it is not just saliva, but also includes other things.
All body fluids except blood and bone marrow.
Starting from the "Silver Blood Realm", the goal of physical training shifts from the surface of the body to the inside. This is a huge threshold that stops 99% of physical practitioners.
Gao Xingyu is a cultivator and pays attention to both spiritual and physical cultivation. However, the two do not necessarily have to go hand in hand, as long as the gap does not exceed a major realm.
After the cultivator has formed the elixir, he begins to carefully polish the golden elixir. The nine turns of the golden elixir are a long process. At this time, the cultivator's vitality cultivation has entered a stage of steady progress and there is no need to rush.
Therefore, the most orthodox cultivation route for Taiyuantian's inner disciples is to let their two cultivation levels reach the foundation building stage and the steel reinforcement stage respectively.
After that, they will choose to form elixirs to survive the minor tribulations and achieve golden elixirs. Then, while slowly polishing the elixirs, they will strengthen their bodies and break through the silver-blood realm.
When the monk successfully survives the minor heavenly tribulation, heaven will give him a reward for achieving the golden elixir - "Xuantian Dew".
"Xuan Tian Dew" can not only increase the monk's lifespan by five hundred years, but also repair the body damaged by the catastrophe, and thoroughly refine and improve the monk's mortal body, thus raising it to a whole new level.
.
This realm is the innate body realm of human ancestors when chaos first emerged.
Although after being refined by the "Xuan Tian Dew", the physical body of the Golden Core Stage monk is now only the prototype of the innate body, far from reaching the level of the ancients, but the general direction is correct.
As for the innate body achieved through cultivation, it is just to expel the turbid air in the body as much as possible, and it is infinitely close to the state of the baby in the mother's body before birth.
However, how can an acquired baby be an innate body? How can a person completely evacuate the turbid qi when he is in it?
Therefore, the realm achieved through cultivation can only be regarded as a "pseudo-innate body", which is just an enhanced version of the mortal body.
Only after being refined by the "Xuan Tian Dew" and purifying the contaminated turbidity, can the physical body take the prototype of the innate body.
Therefore, monks in the golden elixir stage are also called "real people".
Only when the monks reach the integration stage where the soul, body and vitality become one, and reach the state where the three flowers gather at the top and the five energies move towards the origin, can they hope to obtain a true innate body.
The physical body that has been cleansed of acquired turbidity by the "Xuan Tian Dew" will naturally get twice the result with half the effort when refining the body, and the difficulty of breaking through the realm will be greatly reduced.
The cultivators of Taiyuan Tian use this point to complete the breakthrough in the physical realm and catch up with the vitality cultivation level.
This is the quickest and easiest way to advance. Not all cultivators in Taiyuantian have very strong body-refining talents. Therefore, this method has gradually become the mainstream in Taiyuantian.
However, a physical body that has been refined by the "Xuan Tian Dew" and then breaks through the realm has far less potential than a physical body that breaks through the realm on its own before forming the elixir. The chance of obtaining physical supernatural powers in the future is almost non-existent.
How to choose is a matter of benevolence and wisdom. Gao Xingyu has no idea about this and just let nature take its course.
Unexpectedly, he failed to overcome the calamity, but he made a breakthrough first by refining his body. This is good, maybe in the near future, he will be able to obtain magical powers of the physical body.
Although countless generations of monks have studied it, the cultivation world has still not summarized the rules for obtaining magical powers in the physical body. No one can figure out what magical powers monks can acquire, when they acquire magical powers, or even whether they can acquire supernatural powers. What will be the result?
Now it's all about luck, it all depends on God's will.
The magical power is indeed powerful, but Gao Xingyu also has a very upright mentality. Although he has the opportunity to obtain the magical power, since he can't force it, he will be happy if he has it, and he will be restless if he doesn't. Why bother to disturb his Taoist heart?
Compared with cultivators who cultivate both spirit and body, they have no choice in physical cultivation. They can only go to the dark side and move forward bravely on the road of body training.
Liu Jinxin's luck is actually really good.
In today's world where the earth's cultivation methods are lacking and resources are scarce, it is a great opportunity that he can worship under Gao Xingyu's sect and be vigorously cultivated.
No, Gao Xingyu discovered the spine that contained the essence of the Wild Ass King's whole body.
This part of the spine is not complete, only half of it, but it is worth a lot of money, at least one hundred and eighty spiritual stones.
The spine is divided into two parts: bone and marrow. The processing of marrow is generally used as an auxiliary material for refining healing elixirs.
For commonly used low-level elixirs such as Qi-blood elixirs, recovery elixirs, and muscle-building and bone-building elixirs, if a drop of bone marrow is added to each pot, the quality of the finished elixirs will be improved by at least one level, and the efficacy will also be greatly enhanced.
You know, this is the bone marrow that condenses the essence of a desolate beast.
After the backbone is ground into powder, it can be used to make elixirs, but most of the time it is taken directly. Ordinary people can also add a little when making soup to increase qi and blood, strengthen muscles and bones.
Although this piece of spine is very valuable, since it is a large section nearly one meter long, there will be many beneficiaries, so it is still a good deal.
The maximum amount of bone meal you can take each time is determined by your cultivation level. The lower your cultivation level, the better the effect and the smaller the amount you take.
Moreover, the effect of taking bone meal is the best for the first time, and it will be reduced by half in subsequent times. After three times, it will have almost no effect.
With Gao Xingyu's level of cultivation, only one of them is enough, any more would be a waste. As for the others, even less are needed.
