As soon as the first wisp of the Five Elements spiritual energy condensed, Lu Qing's mind was immediately drawn to it.
The Five Elements spiritual power, condensed from five different spiritual energies, was not as colorful as he had imagined.
Instead, it was gray and looked quite unremarkable.
However, this wisp of spiritual energy of the five elements is full of profound mystery, as it contains all five elements and has a sense of perfection.
He could feel the immense power contained within it simply by touching it with his mind.
It is much more powerful than other single-attribute spiritual energies that were previously condensed.
"I didn't expect to condense the five elements of spiritual power so easily. Is it because of the special nature of my body?"
According to the description of the 【Five Elements Body Refining Technique】, the most difficult step in the beginning of cultivating this technique is to condense the spiritual power of the five elements.
To fuse five different, mutually reinforcing and mutually restraining elemental energies into one, one must be extremely careful.
If one is not careful, it may cause spiritual energy to become chaotic, conflict with each other, reverse the flow of qi and blood, and even cause the dantian and qi sea to explode.
However, Lu Qing felt unusually relaxed when he was condensing the five elements of spiritual power.
The five elemental spiritual energies almost readily resisted his fusion.
This allowed him to easily condense the five elements of spiritual energy.
Such an unexpected event naturally surprised Lu Qing.
His first thought was of the nine streams of primordial energy that were integrated with him.
The primordial energy is the manifestation of the origin of this world, possessing the unique property of evolving and encompassing all things.
His body had refined nine primordial energies, and naturally, it had also acquired a trace of this quality.
That is probably why the five elemental spiritual energies became exceptionally docile, allowing him to refine and melt them without any resistance.
"It seems that the 【Five Elements Body Refining Technique】 is indeed the most suitable cultivation method for me." Lu Qing felt delighted.
The biggest drawback of the 【Five Elements Body Refining Technique】 is its slow cultivation speed.
Now that his process of condensing the five elements of spiritual power is going so smoothly, his cultivation speed can be greatly accelerated.
At least, it won't be slower than cultivating a single-attribute technique.
Once the Five Elements spiritual power was formed, Lu Qing's dantian and qi sea also underwent changes.
The innate true energy without attributes that he had previously cultivated had already been pushed to the edge.
The moment the five elements' spiritual power appeared, they were forced together by its power and squeezed tightly.
If it weren't for being bound by the dantian and qi sea, it probably would have escaped.
At the same time, the Five Elements spiritual power also felt a sense of longing, as if it were very interested in those innate true energies.
"You want to devour this innate true energy?"
Lu Qing suddenly found it interesting.
He knew that this was not because the five elements of spiritual energy possessed consciousness, but simply a phenomenon of energy devouring each other.
He thought about it and realized that since he had already condensed the five elements of spiritual power, these attribute-less innate true qi were naturally of no use to him.
Moreover, in the path of cultivation, one must avoid being unfocused.
Multiple different types of energy exist in the dantian and qi sea. Unless one has a master who has comprehended a special realm, they can complement each other and increase one's cultivation.
Otherwise, even if things are peaceful for a while, in the long run, it will still hinder one's cultivation.
So, with a thought, Lu Qing activated the innate true energy in his dantian and sent it to the five elements spiritual power in the very center.
The Five Elements spiritual power was not polite either, and immediately generated a devouring force, continuously absorbing the surging innate true energy.
Once all the innate true energy had been devoured, Lu Qing's dantian and sea of qi became empty, with only a wisp of the five elements spiritual energy floating in it.
Having absorbed a massive amount of innate true energy relative to itself, the Five Elements spiritual power only increased slightly, without much change.
Upon seeing this, Lu Qing sighed.
He originally planned that if he absorbed so much innate true energy, his five elements spiritual power would increase significantly.
Then perhaps he can use innate true qi to nourish himself and allow the five elements of spiritual power to grow rapidly.
After all, condensing innate true qi was very easy for him.
With the immense power of his divine soul, he could absorb and refine a large amount of the primordial energy of heaven and earth in the blink of an eye, condensing it into true qi.
Now it seems that there is indeed no such thing as a free lunch in this world.
Such a large amount of innate true energy only slightly strengthens the five elements' spiritual power.
With such low efficiency, it would be much faster to simply practice the 【Five Elements Body Refining Technique】.
"The difference between true qi and spiritual power should not be this large."
However, the power of the Five Elements spiritual energy far surpasses that of ordinary spiritual energy.
Aside from its excessively slow cultivation speed, this technique is truly astonishingly powerful.
No wonder many of the top cultivation sects in the ancient cultivation era collected it.
This suggests they acknowledge the unique aspects of this technique.
However, those who can join the top cultivation sects are all exceptionally talented and gifted cultivators.
Most of those unparalleled geniuses have extremely high aspirations and their sights are almost always set on realms above the Nascent Soul stage.
Naturally, few people would choose to cultivate a technique with a slow cultivation speed and an upper limit of only the Golden Core realm.
However, for Lu Qing, who possesses a unique physique, this 【Five Elements Body Refining Technique】 is the most suitable cultivation method for him.
"Let's test my cultivation speed first."
Lu Qing calmed his mind, circulated his cultivation technique, and began to cultivate according to the methods of the 【Five Elements Body Refining Technique】.
As his thoughts shifted, the spiritual energy in the surrounding world was continuously stripped away from the higher-level space by his powerful divine soul.
It is absorbed into the body and refined and smelted in the dantian.
Soon, a second wisp of the Five Elements spiritual energy appeared in the dantian.
Then came the third strand, the fourth strand...
While Lu Qing was fully focused on his cultivation, the old doctor's eyes gradually widened.
"Simultaneously absorbing spiritual energy of five different attributes, what kind of cultivation technique does Aqing practice?"
According to the old doctor's perception, the spiritual energy in the surrounding world, including the five elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, was absorbed into Lu Qing's body without any rejection.
But there was not a trace of discomfort on his face.
On the contrary, he remained calm and composed, his face radiant with a precious glow.
Clearly, there was nothing wrong with his cultivation, and the strange phenomena that are now appearing are under his control.
This shocked the old doctor, who wondered what kind of cultivation technique Lu Qing was practicing.
"Elder Chen, there shouldn't be any problems with Brother Lu Qing's cultivation, right?"
Magu and the others were only at the Acquired Realm and could not sense the changes in spiritual energy.
But they could sense that Lu Qing's aura was becoming increasingly terrifying.
The powerful sense of oppression was so strong that even just watching from afar made them feel terrified.
"It's alright. Ah Qing is probably cultivating a very powerful technique. Don't stray too far from me."
The old doctor also sensed that Lu Qing's aura was surprisingly powerful.
He immediately instructed Magu and the others not to leave his side.
That way, if anything unexpected happens, he can still protect them.
Fortunately, Lu Qing's cultivation has always been very steady.
Although the aura it emitted was powerful, it showed no signs of being out of control.
"My cultivation speed is much faster than what is recorded in the 【Five Elements Body Refining Technique】."
Lu Qing looked at the egg-shaped ball of Five Elements spiritual energy in his dantian and smiled with satisfaction.
According to the description of the 【Five Elements Body Refining Technique】, it would take at least a month to condense this amount of Five Elements spiritual power when one is just starting out.
But he was able to do it in less than an hour.
Its cultivation speed is far faster than that of the cultivators who practiced this technique in history, let alone the powerful Golden Core cultivator who created it.
"This speed of cultivation is already comparable to those renowned geniuses recorded in the Li Huo Sect's heritage."
Lu Qing was very satisfied.
It was worth it for him to suppress his cultivation level repeatedly until he reached Zhongzhou before breaking through.
The benefits he gained after overcoming the tribulation were immense.
This laid the most solid foundation for his future spiritual practice.
He even felt that with continued spiritual practice, the benefits of his profound foundation would become increasingly greater.
"We'll stop here for now regarding the condensation of the five elements' spiritual power."
Next comes the real body tempering.
The Five Elements Body Refining Technique is a body cultivation method.
The cultivation method of the Body Cultivation Path, simply put, is to use spiritual power to refine oneself and strengthen the physical body.
The only difference is that each body cultivator has a different method for refining their physical body.
Those who cultivate fire-elemental spiritual power often use fire refining methods.
For example, one could place oneself in magma and use the high temperature and one's own spiritual power to forcibly refine the impurities in one's physical body.
Those who cultivate the spiritual power of water prefer the method of water refining.
Like diving into the deepest part of the sea, using spiritual power to control the deep, cold currents at the bottom of the water, thus tempering the physical body.
In short, the methods of various schools and sects are incredibly diverse, encompassing all sorts of techniques.
The Five Elements Body Refining Technique also has similar methods, but it is even more extreme.
However, that's something Lu Qing will need to use once his cultivation reaches a certain level.
When you're just starting out, there's no need to go to such extremes.
One can directly manipulate the spiritual power of the five elements to refine the physical body.
Lu Qing focused his mind and began to activate the five elements of spiritual power, circulating it throughout his body to refine his physical form.
The power of the Five Elements spiritual energy is extraordinary. As he circulates his cultivation technique, the spiritual energy flows throughout his body, and wherever it goes, his physical body is gradually nourished and strengthened.
"The first step in the body-refining method of the 【Five Elements Body Refining Technique】 is nourishment."
The Five Elements spiritual power contains the power of the Five Elements, which reflects the Five Elements in the human body.
It can nourish the body and make it stronger.
This step is about nourishing the body.
However, relying solely on physical conditioning will soon limit the body's physical limits, making it difficult to strengthen it further.
At that time, if you want your physical body to continue to strengthen, you will need to proceed to the second step of body refinement: breaking through.
Only by using extreme power to break through limits and shackles can the physical body surpass its limits and continue to strengthen.
Those extreme body-refining methods from various schools are actually designed to push one's potential to break through limits.
However, with my current cultivation level, I'm still some distance from the limit of health preservation, so there's no rush.
He mentally urged the five elements of spiritual energy to circulate throughout his body, nourishing his physical form.
In Lu Qing's mind, the various cultivation techniques of the 【Five Elements Body Refining Technique】 also surfaced.
"My brother's body is glowing!"
At this moment, Xiaoyan exclaimed softly, her eyes filled with surprise.
The others also saw that Lu Qing, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground, had a white glow emanating from his skin.
The radiance, like mist or vapor, formed a halo, highlighting Lu Qingbao's solemn and unapproachable appearance.
After an unknown amount of time, Lu Qing felt that the five elements spiritual power in his dantian was almost completely exhausted.
He knew that this training session had come to a temporary end.
He experienced his own body, the powerful spiritual energy, and the precise control he had over himself.
This led him to conclude that this first body tempering had made his physical body more than 10% stronger.
Although the path of cultivation always yields faster results at the beginning.
However, Lu Qing was still pleasantly surprised by such a speed of body tempering.
After all, according to the records of the 【Five Elements Body Refining Technique】,
Under normal circumstances, it would take at least one or two months to reach this stage.
And yet, he was able to do it on his very first time practicing body tempering.
Lu Qing slowly calmed his breathing and opened his eyes.
At first glance, I saw the crowd retreating far away.
"Brother, you're awake!"
When Xiao Yan saw that the light emanating from Lu Qing's body had subsided, she exclaimed in delight.
They ran towards him excitedly.
The old doctor also sensed that Lu Qing had finished his cultivation, so he did not stop him.
Xiao Yan ran up to Lu Qing, staring at his face with curiosity.
"What's wrong? Is there something on my face?"
Lu Qing was somewhat puzzled by the little guy's gaze.
"Brother, Xiaoyan just saw your body glowing. How did you do that?" Xiaoyan asked.
"That's just a strange phenomenon that my brother is cultivating; there's nothing special about it," Lu Qing said with a smile.
"Will Xiaoyan be able to do that when she becomes more capable?" the little guy continued to ask.
Although he didn't know why the girl was so persistent about this question, Lu Qing nodded firmly.
"Of course, didn't brother say that as long as Xiaoyan cultivates diligently, she can even fly? Giving off light is a piece of cake."
"Really? Then Xiaoyan will have to work even harder in her cultivation!" The little girl's eyes immediately lit up.
Upon seeing this, Wei Zian's face immediately showed an expression of envy.
Seeing the envy on his face, Lu Qing smiled and said, "Master Ma and Zi'an are the same. Now you both have a source of primordial energy within you."
Once you have absorbed it all, your aptitude should undergo a transformation.
Reaching the Innate Realm in the future will certainly not be difficult.
"Then I will teach you the Qi-absorbing method, and the path to immortality will not be too far away for you."
Upon hearing this, Wei Zian's spirits lifted, and he immediately said, "Dr. Lu Qing, I will certainly not let you down!"
Even Magu showed a resolute expression.
He used to think that being able to reach the Inner Organ Realm was already an immense blessing in his life.
Now, Lu Qing has bestowed upon him such a great opportunity.
If he doesn't seize the opportunity, then he'll really be ungrateful.
Only Hu Zezhi, standing to the side, had a slightly dimmed gaze, but she quickly rallied and showed no signs of distress.
"Ah Qing, how did your comprehension of the domain go?"
At this moment, the old doctor spoke up and asked.
He did not ask what kind of cultivation technique Lu Qing had been practicing.
Instead, they asked him about his understanding of the field.
Upon hearing this, Lu Qing smiled slightly and extended his palm.
The next moment, the old doctor's eyes suddenly widened.
