I Have a Compass for Opportunity

Liou Yuan found this method of storing Spiritual Objects to be quite useful for future use.

To be cautious, Liou Yuan didn’t open his eyes when the Treasure Bottle Mark sank into his body. Only after confirming that there was no leakage of the Geng Metal Spiritual Qi within the Treasure Bottle Mark did he open his eyes with a sigh of relief.

"Thus, the first step of channeling the Qi has succeeded."

"It’s time to begin the second step, slowly refining this Geng Metal Spiritual Qi into the body."

Fully refining the Geng Metal Spiritual Qi is clearly not a task that can be accomplished overnight; it requires time.

Liou Yuan spent two days just on the step of channeling the Qi into the body, making it impossible to complete the second step within the remaining time.

However, all of this was within Liou Yuan’s plan.

Cultivation is not something that can be rushed.

With that in mind, Liou Yuan closed his eyes once again and began to mobilize the Spiritual Power within his body, maneuvering through his meridians according to the operating principles of the Geng Metal Refining Form Skill.

Getting familiar with the new Cultivation Technique’s operating path requires time.

Thus, Liou Yuan was not in a hurry to start mobilizing the Geng Metal Spiritual Qi.

Instead, he circulated the Spiritual Qi repeatedly, allowing it to flow through those unfamiliar meridians.

Only after familiarizing himself with two great cycles and confirming there were no mistakes did Liou Yuan cautiously open the Treasure Bottle Mark in the body, extracting two strands of Geng Metal Spiritual Qi.

The moment the Geng Metal Spiritual Qi poured out from the bottle mouth and contacted Liou Yuan’s meridians inside his body, a sharp pain erupted instantaneously.

The sensation was akin to thousands of silver needles piercing into his meridians and flesh.

"Humph!" Liou Yuan grunted in pain, his face swiftly turning pale.

Despite being mentally prepared, when the pain truly arrived, it still made his scalp tingle.

The meridians seemed to start convulsing due to the presence of the Geng Metal Spiritual Qi.

The pain caused Liou Yuan’s body, sitting cross-legged on the blue stone bed, to twist, and sweat uncontrollably flowed from his forehead.

"It hurts like hell!" Liou Yuan moaned.

Fortunately, he had mentally prepared himself for this while cultivating the Geng Metal Refining Form Skill. After a brief pause, he forced himself to sit upright again.

Ignoring the waves of pain assaulting his flesh, he resolutely used Spiritual Power to envelop those strands of Geng Metal Spiritual Qi, refining them along the energy movement path of the Geng Metal Refining Form Skill.

Wherever the Geng Metal Spiritual Qi passed, it felt like a blade was walking through the body.

Liou Yuan experienced several bouts of intense pain, causing his vision to darken and his body to convulse.

Only because Liou Yuan had previously practiced the Five Mansions Star Gazing Breathing Skill, a Qi Cultivation Realm Body Refining Technique of a not-high level, reaching the Body Cultivator’s Bone Casting Realm.

Could he still withstand the tearing pain inflicted upon the body by the Geng Metal Spiritual Qi’s blade-like effect.

Had it been any other cultivator without any Body Refining foundation, their flesh would have been torn apart on the spot by the Geng Metal Spiritual Qi.

After a small cycle, the sense of pain began to fade, and the Geng Metal Spiritual Qi was gradually refined by Liou Yuan’s Spiritual Power, integrating into the Spiritual Power, causing Liou Yuan’s Spiritual Power to start carrying a touch of golden yellow.

After a great cycle, those strands of Geng Metal Spiritual Qi were completely refined.

The Geng Metal Spiritual Qi, which was unbearably painful at first, turned into nourishment for Liou Yuan’s meridians, bones, and flesh after being refined.

It continually strengthened Liou Yuan’s flesh as it flowed.

"Phew! Finally, it’s over." Liou Yuan casually wiped away the sweat flowing uncontrollably from his forehead, letting out a big breath.

In the initial stage of refining the Geng Metal Spiritual Qi, it not only harms the flesh but also damages the meridians.

According to the Geng Metal Refining Form Skill, it’s unwise to greedily refine too much of the Geng Metal Spiritual Qi in the early stages of cultivation; if one refines one strand a day, they can refine a batch in ten days, achieving mastery in a hundred days.
