Chapter 6: Body Refinement

At this moment, Qin Qiong felt a surge of ecstasy in his heart; he had truly encountered the person his family had awaited for a thousand years. He could fulfill his ancestors' wishes and had the opportunity to confront the heavenly realm to change the mortal world. At this moment, he could no longer contain his joy and burst into laughter

Xiao Fan, for a period of time in the future, your daytime training will consist of running within this water dragon ring. I will manipulate the water dragon to strike your entire body. This water is infused with spiritual energy, so it will not be easy to endure. You must hold on; I will increase the amount of infused spiritual energy as you adapt. Remember to constantly operate the Vajra Body dynamic technique while running within it. Only when you are completely exhausted should you sit in meditation and practice the static technique. You must persist in completing these two steps; this is called body training.

The mind sinks into the dantian, entering a state of emptiness and clarity

Alright, I will take you to the place where we practice

Hello, we will be training here for a long time. Make sure to remember the way you came. From now on, come here by yourself every morning, afternoon, and evening. I will be waiting for you. Your second step is to train to the limit of the red level of the Diamond Body. I have already designed this training for you. The third step will be about what happens after the advancement of the Diamond Body, which we will discuss later.

It is done, it seems you have truly completed the first step, and you have done it perfectly

Long Fan slowly opened his eyes. He stood up, feeling the changes in his body. Suddenly, he jumped off the rock and turned around to throw a punch, his fist piercing through the stone without a scratch. This is true power

Hehe, this little rascal...

Lin Feng saw that Wen Cai still did not want to let Long Fan off and hurriedly stopped him, saying, "You brat, don't always tease Long Fan for no reason. Don't you know his situation? If you have time to spare, come spar with me for a bit. I have just grasped a little of this set of martial arts from the Equator."

In fact, Qin Qiong did not clearly explain the origins of the "Diamond Body" to Long Fan. This technique has been passed down through their family for a thousand years, and he is already the sixth generation. A thousand years ago, their family was a prominent clan in the human realm. However, the war between realms that occurred a thousand years ago led to the fall of their family head, and the family has since faced continuous oppression and displacement, ultimately fleeing to this small Qingyuan Town. Now, only he remains of the direct bloodline of the Qin family. Before the family head fell, he entrusted this technique to his son and instructed him to find someone capable of cultivating it, as this person would surely change the human realm. Yet, for so many years, no one in the family has found this person, and now he has encountered him. Therefore, he is determined to assist Long Fan in cultivating this technique, not only for the family but also to change the current state of the human realm.

You little rascal, you are quite greedy, aren't you? What? Do you look down on this high-level equatorial technique? Let me tell you, this is not an ordinary technique; it is alive.

Is this the power that has been unleashed? It's amazing. I need to find the teacher and have him proceed with the second step immediately. Long Fan thought to himself as he rushed towards Teacher Qin's office. The power he had achieved in the first step had already left him astonished, and he was now eager to see how strong the power of the second step would be. He was desperate to become stronger. Upon reaching the office door, he realized that it was almost time for school to end, and the teacher was not at school.

In the afternoon, Long Fan stood before Qin Qiong, whose expression was quite complex, making it difficult to discern whether he was surprised or pleased

Two individuals arrived at a lakeside outside the school. This is a large lake, surrounded by mountains on three sides, with Long Fan standing on the remaining side. Here, there is a relatively small sandy beach. The surface of the lake is very calm, without a single ripple, possibly due to the dense surrounding forest blocking the wind.

On the morning of the second day, in a corner of the back mountain, Long Fan sat cross-legged on a stone, with a white bird perched on his shoulder. After more than an hour of practice the previous night, he had begun to faintly sense the power accumulating within him. He continuously circulated the primordial true energy in his body, diligently applying the Diamond Body technique. After failing once, twice, three times... finally, after numerous failures, Long Fan discovered that power. He saw a glimmer deep within his dantian. He directed the primordial true energy towards that glimmer, and at the moment of contact, he continued to circulate the primordial true energy, striving to apply the Diamond Body technique. After failing once, twice, three times... finally, after numerous failures, Long Fan found that power again. He saw a glimmer deep within his dantian. He directed the primordial true energy towards that glimmer, and at the moment of contact, that glimmer instantly merged into the primordial true energy. Then, Long Fan applied the Diamond Body technique to circulate this mixed primordial true energy through his meridians. Gradually, a blue aura began to emanate from Long Fan's body, and soon a thin layer of blue aura enveloped him. The white bird, startled by the sudden change, flew to a nearby tree.

In the evening, when Long Fan returned to the dormitory, his roommates were all studying martial arts. Upon seeing Long Fan return, Wencai teased him.

Qin Qiong did not answer him directly, but instead focused on the surface of the lake. Suddenly, spiritual energy surged, causing the lake's surface to begin to move. Then, a water dragon soared into the air, flying above the beach. In the next breath, it transformed into countless water dragons, linked head to tail, forming a large water dragon ring parallel to the beach. Watching this scene, Long Fan was somewhat stunned; it was the first time he had seen a spiritual practitioner control spiritual energy so beautifully.

Long Fan ran to a secluded spot on the back mountain and sat down. A white bird landed on a stone beside him, and Long Fan smiled at it. He then took out a set of cultivation techniques from his spatial ring and began to study them. This set of techniques was completely different from the Yang Yuan Gong that Long Hao had given him. It did not include instructions on how to operate spiritual energy to open meridians, how to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, or how to utilize it for oneself. In the Diamond Body technique, there was no mention of spiritual energy; in fact, possessing spiritual energy would hinder cultivation. The outline of the Diamond Body technique stated, "The Diamond Body is indestructible, combining movement and stillness to achieve the Dao. In movement, one refines the body; in stillness, one cultivates Qi. The two must harmonize to forge the golden body." The most important aspect of this technique was Qi, which circulated the original true Qi throughout the major meridians of the body, thereby strengthening the physical form from the inside out. If there were any spiritual energy present during this process, it would obstruct the flow of the original true Qi, making cultivation impossible. However, Long Fan possessed a unique advantage, as if this technique were specifically designed for him. He felt an endless joy within, and without delay, Long Fan quickly calmed his emotions and began to practice this unique set of techniques.

... ...

Alright, attack me with all your might

"You said you have completed the first step?" Long Fan nodded seriously. "You are already familiar with and have mastered the techniques and the accumulated power?"

Oh no! I'm late for work! Long Fan hurriedly rushed to the cafeteria, ... Fortunately, he usually worked diligently and put in a lot of effort, so the other staff members didn't say much. They just assumed he lost track of time while studying, and out of sympathy for this child without spiritual power, they were a bit more forgiving.

"It is!" Long Fan quickly turned and ran away

Do not dawdle with me here, hurry up and study. If you take too long, I will no longer recognize you as my student.

"There is no special treatment, it is just ordinary studying." Seeing that Wen Cai still wanted to continue teasing, Long Fan hurriedly said, "I worked hard in the cafeteria today, so I will rest first. You all take your time practicing."

Hmm, https://m.hetushu.com is very good, then let's go!

"You are indeed clever, otherwise I would regret having taken you in. This technique can indeed be advanced, but no one has successfully cultivated it for thousands of years, so no one knows to what level it can actually progress."

Long Fan closed his eyes and began to search for the original true energy within his body as described in the cultivation method. When he opened his eyes again, it was dusk. The white bird seemed to sense the changes in Long Fan's physical body and chirped excitedly. After an afternoon of practice, Long Fan was able to control the flow of original true energy through forty-nine of the eighty-one meridians in his body, seemingly reaching his limit. He had attempted several times to break through to the fiftieth meridian but had not succeeded. This speed of cultivation could be described as terrifying. According to the cultivation method, the number of meridians opened determines the absorption multiplier after practicing the movement technique. Although he had only opened a little more than half, Long Fan already felt an unprecedented sense of exhilaration and strength in his body. No wonder this technique could allow the physical body to contend with spiritual power. The next step was to activate the power that had been accumulated within him previously. Unfortunately, it was time to go to work. Long Fan then rushed to the cafeteria and began to work diligently.

Long Fan nodded and said, "Teacher, I will find a place to study on my own, and I will definitely complete this first step as soon as possible"

Long Fan turned to leave, and as he was about to exit, he looked back at Qin Qiong and said, "Teacher, thank you!"

Long Fan ceased to speak further, and the Diamond Body began to operate frantically, with a blue gas enveloping his surface. He swept a leg towards Qin Qiong, fierce and menacing. This was a move that Long Fan had developed by combining the combat techniques from several martial arts he had studied previously. Qin Qiong raised his hand to block and successfully received Long Fan's attack. Just as Long Fan was about to strike again, Qin Qiong hurriedly spoke to stop him

"Living?" Long Fan felt somewhat perplexed. How could a cultivation method possess life like a book? Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck him, and he seemed to understand the situation. "Could it be that this cultivation method can be upgraded?"

Red Level

"Don't speak too soon; whether you can get started is still uncertain. This afternoon, you should begin to study this technique thoroughly, activating and controlling the physical energy that has accumulated within you. This may take quite a long time. You can practice here with me or find a place on your own. Once you can freely operate the technique and successfully activate the power within you, we will commence the subsequent training."

Long Fan gazed at the words "Diamond Body" with tears glistening in his eyes, as if he saw the turning point of his destiny in those few characters

Seeing Lin Feng approaching, Wen Cai quickly begged for mercy, as he did not want to be bullied. Although Long Fan understood that Lin Feng meant well, that remark still made him somewhat uncomfortable. He thought to himself that he needed to complete the first step quickly, so that Teacher Qin could come and train him. This way, he could improve rapidly and make everyone see him in a new light. Thus, he persevered through his fatigue and continued to study the "Diamond Body" technique.

Teacher, I have truly completed the first step. If you don't believe me, you can give it a try.

Long Fan blankly raised his head to look at Qin Qiong. His father had given him a set of Huang Dao intermediate-level techniques, but these techniques were actually Chi Dao advanced-level. "Chi level... However, due to the relationship, it can at least make me stronger"

I will definitely push it to the limit

Teacher, what level is this technique?

Yes, teacher, I will definitely come on time every day. Please tell me about my specific training content

Teacher, let's quickly start the second step; I want to begin the training as soon as possible," Long Fan said eagerly.

Our vice principal's chief disciple has returned to tell us what special instructions Vice Principal Qin gave you this afternoon
