I Have a Compass for Opportunity

The first step in cultivating the "Geng Metal Refining Form Skill" is to introduce energy into the body.

The "Geng Metal Refining Form Skill" has a separate Energy-Introducing Chapter designed to assist cultivators in mastering this Geng Metal Spiritual Qi.

Following the methods of the Energy-Introducing Chapter, one can guide the Geng Metal Spiritual Qi into the body’s limbs and bones, storing it using special techniques. Subsequently, it can be mobilized as needed during daily cultivation, flowing through the limbs and meridians.

The second step is to operate the Heart Method of the "Geng Metal Refining Form Skill".

This step involves refining the Geng Metal Spiritual Qi.

According to the Heart Method, one should merge the Geng Metal Spiritual Qi with their own Spiritual Qi, circulating it throughout the body, allowing it to fully integrate with one’s Spiritual Qi while tempering the flesh, meridians, and bones in the process.

This process is extremely painful, as the meridians, flesh, and bones feel like they are pierced by thousands of steel needles.

The process continues until the Geng Metal Spiritual Qi is completely refined, merging with Spiritual Power and the flesh throughout the body.

Only then is the Geng Metal Refining Form Skill considered truly initiated.

Though the process is painful, once the cultivation technique is initiated, the body cultivator’s physique will leap to a new height, and their power will drastically increase.

This is the entry-level cultivation of the "Geng Metal Refining Form Skill" in the Qi Cultivation Realm.

Next is the cultivation to break through to the Foundation Establishment Realm.

It consists of three steps.

First step: Opening the Mansion.

Condensing the Spiritual Power and blood infused with Geng Metal Spiritual Qi at one point to create a space within the body, which is the nascent form of the Qi Mansion.

Second step, Sinking Star.

Sink the Star Acupoint into the Qi Mansion, merging it with the Spiritual Power and blood within the space.

This process requires a long time and is extremely perilous, without any disturbance.

Third step, Qi Mansion Condensation.

Star Acupoint, Spiritual Power, and blood unify, transforming into the Qi Mansion ’Celestial Spirit’.

The body’s Spiritual Power will also be replaced by purer Celestial Spirit True Essence, marking the moment the cultivator officially steps into the Foundation Establishment Realm, able to roam between heaven and earth, extending their lifespan by two hundred years.

At the same time, the three souls and seven spirits undergo changes, transforming into the Divine Soul, able to harness the Power of Divine Sense.

Liou Yuan now naturally focuses on the initiation process of the Geng Metal Refining Form Skill.

He painstakingly reviews it repeatedly, ensuring no mistakes arise during cultivation, only then slowly opening his eyes, realizing a day has passed.

Liou Yuan fixes his gaze again on the Jade Box containing the Geng Metal Spiritual Qi, taking a deep breath: "Huh!"

"Let’s begin!" His deep voice resonates within the cave mansion.

Liou Yuan opens the Jade Box containing the Geng Metal Spiritual Qi once more.

This time, before the sharp aura of the Geng Metal Spiritual Qi can spread from the box, his hands have already begun swiftly performing the sealing according to the Energy Introduction Skill of the "Geng Metal Refining Form Skill".

His entire Spiritual Power starts to boil, converging between his hands, finally forming into a round-mouthed Treasure Bottle.

This round-mouthed Treasure Bottle derives from a lesser Dharma Seal from the Buddhist Sect, the Treasure Bottle Seal.

It is specifically provided to protect cultivators from harm by the Geng Metal Spiritual Qi.

The Treasure Bottle is about a foot high, suspended above Liou Yuan’s head.

The Treasure Bottle Seal is a combo protective and offensive magic with the capability of absorbing multiple magical attacks, assisting cultivators in fending off enemies, while also being able to completely imprison those magical powers within the bottle and then release them to counter enemies.

The Treasure Bottle Seal recorded in the Energy-Introducing Chapter is clearly a streamlined version rather than the original, its power certainly not matching the true Treasure Bottle Seal.

It’s more than sufficient to collect Geng Metal Spiritual Qi.

Under Liou Yuan’s command, the bottle’s mouth tilts towards the Jade Box.

A terrifying suction erupts from the bottle’s mouth.

The previously lazily-flowing Geng Metal Spiritual Qi within the Jade Box is instantly stirred by the impact of the Treasure Bottle Dharma Seal.

Golden liquid ripples with wave-like undulations.

Then it transforms into threads of golden stream, rising from the box and entering the bottle of the Treasure Bottle Mark.

This process lasts a day and a night.

The Geng Metal Spiritual Qi within the Jade Box is completely devoured by the Treasure Bottle Mark.

The box becomes completely clean, without any trace of Geng Metal Spiritual Qi remaining.

In contrast, the Treasure Bottle Mark has been filled completely with the liquid of the Geng Metal Spiritual Qi, influenced by the brilliance emitted by the Geng Metal Spiritual Qi, turning the bottle into a golden jade bottle.

Next is the crucial step of the Energy Introduction Skill.

Liou Yuan solemnly alters his hand signs, repeatedly impacting the Treasure Bottle before him.

Within the surging Spiritual Power, the bottle starts to shrink from a foot in size, diminishing to palm size, then thumb size, and finally to the size of a fingernail.

The entire bottle ultimately takes on the appearance of a Golden Core.

Guided by Liou Yuan, it flies towards his mouth.

Finally, as he closes his mouth, the bottle has been swallowed into his abdomen, completing the Energy Introduction Skill.

Liou Yuan carefully perceives the changes as the Treasure Bottle Seal sinks into his body.

The Geng Metal Spiritual Qi inside the bottle is as calm as deadwater, not injuring him in the slightest, prompting him to marvel:

"This Energy Introduction Skill is exceedingly exquisite, not only enabling the collection of Geng Metal Spiritual Qi but also permitting the absorption of other Spiritual Objects that cannot be collected in jade containers, into the body using this method later."

This Geng Metal Spiritual Qi is exceedingly dangerous, and if rashly allowed to enter the body, even though Liou Yuan has achieved some success in the Body Refining Realm, it would be a disastrous annihilation.

However, the Energy Introduction Skill of the "Geng Metal Refining Form Skill" perfectly resolves this concern.

It completely seals the Geng Metal Spiritual Qi within the Treasure Bottle Mark, sinking it into the body, preventing the sharpness of the Geng Metal Spiritual Qi from injuring the cultivator, while allowing the cultivator to mobilize the Geng Metal Spiritual Qi as needed for daily cultivation.
