Dong!
The morning bell rang.
Countless rays of dawn pierced through the hazy mist.
Inside the room.
Luo Mu slowly closed the secret manual, letting out a long sigh.
He had been in the room for almost two full days, studying the "Xuan Yang Ba Ti Gong".
All the re-reads combined.
Almost ten thousand times!
The harvest was naturally plentiful.
He had grasped all the difficult parts.
"It's a good thing I didn't skip a single miscellaneous learning class in the past."
"My foundation is solid."
"Otherwise, with an empty mind, even if I read it ten thousand times, it would be useless."
Luo Mu felt lucky.
Cultivation methods are different from martial arts.
They are closely related to the physical body, so you must understand the distribution of all organs, meridian pathways, and so on.
It's quite complicated.
One careless mistake could lead to an error, and in severe cases, even going mad and exploding from the inside.
Standing up.
Luo Mu stretched his body.
His whole body instantly emitted a series of crackling sounds like frying beans, the sounds of bones crunching.
"I need to read more books in the future."
Luo Mu murmured.
With the system, even if his talent was average, as long as his theoretical knowledge was rich and extensive, he could achieve "learning by analogy."
Continuously gaining insights.
Until he comprehended it!
"Next, start cultivating!"
Luo Mu's eyes were filled with excitement.
After fully comprehending the "Xuan Yang Ba Ti Gong", his understanding of this cultivation method naturally became deeper.
It is definitely a powerful body tempering cultivation method.
Except for speed and recovery, there were no obvious improvements.
All other aspects were included.
Especially the defense aspect.
Extremely strong!
In his previous life's terms, it would be like adding nearly one hundred points to physical and magic resistance.
Pushing open the door.
Luo Mu stood in the sunlight.
Enjoying the sun's embrace.
To cultivate the "Xuan Yang Ba Ti Gong", the first step is to find solar essence.
But not every ray of sunlight contains solar essence.
It's quite rare.
It's very much based on luck.
There are also some spirit items in the world, such as "Fire Flame Divine Crystals," which contain solar essence, and quite a lot of it.
However, such spirit items are extremely expensive. Unless you have a deep pocket, you simply can't afford them.
Luo Mu currently only had five hundred contribution points, so he wouldn't even consider this aspect.
"Let's begin!"
Luo Mu sat cross-legged.
He took off his shirt, revealing his strong, yet not exaggerated muscles.
The lines were almost perfect.
After entering the True Aperture Realm, his physical body had been enhanced by the Primordial Blood, capable of withstanding the weakest solar essence.
He silently recited the cultivation method's incantation, and his internal qi and blood began to circulate according to the corresponding paths, radiating outward through his pores.
It faintly formed a qi and blood furnace.
The "Xuan Yang Ba Ti Gong" is divided into two parts.
One is sensing, and the other is body tempering.
He was currently using the cultivation method's incantation to sense and attract the solar essence from the heavens and earth.
If it appeared, he could then guide it into his body.
A moment later.
Luo Mu's expression shifted.
He was surprised.
It had sensed it so quickly?
Wasn't it said that solar essence is very rare? Was it because he was lucky, or was it that this area of the academy was different?
Without thinking much, Luo Mu directly cut off the sensing.
Because in the depths of his perception, it was a massive golden light, with a terrifying temperature.
This level of solar essence was something he couldn't withstand at this moment.
Once it entered his body, he would definitely be incinerated on the spot.
The cultivation of this method must be gradual.
In the beginning, you can only absorb the weakest solar essence.
To build the Xuan Yang Inner Court.
Once it becomes proficient, you can then absorb larger "solar essences."
Time passed bit by bit.
One hour.
Two hours.
Three hours.
Four hours.
He hadn't sensed anything again.
Neither large nor small.
Luo Mu wasn't anxious.
Solar essence, as the name suggests, is the essence of ultimate yang, so how could it be easily encountered.
You have to be patient.
Slowly, the sun began to set.
When a drop of sweat fell from Luo Mu's eyebrow, a smile slowly appeared on his lips.
Finally!
He sensed it!
It was a wisp of solar essence, weak like a flame.
It seemed like it would dissipate with a puff of wind.
It perfectly met his needs!
Without hesitation, Luo Mu silently recited the cultivation method's incantation, his qi and blood furnace burning fiercely.
The temperature rose rapidly.
It was visible to the naked eye that the flame-sized solar essence seemed to have a sense of it, it liked places with high temperatures.
It instantly flew towards Luo Mu.
Like a wisp of mist, it landed on his shoulder.
Gradually seeping into his body!
So hot!
This was Luo Mu's first feeling!
It felt like he was being burned from the inside out.
This was just the weakest solar essence, yet it had such power. What would the one from this morning have been like?
He didn't have time to think much, Luo Mu operated the cultivation method, his internal qi and blood churned, wrapping the solar essence tightly, constantly cutting and dividing it into countless parts.
It rushed towards all parts of his physical body.
Xuan Yang Inner Court.
As the name suggests, the first step is to build the inside of the physical body into an environment that can adapt to solar essence, the ultimate yang environment.
Only then can you absorb more powerful solar essence in the future!
Luo Mu frowned.
To be honest, the pain was a little beyond his imagination.
Every part of his body felt like it was being burned.
But he could feel a clear improvement. Under the influence of the solar essence, the impurities deep within his flesh, skin, meridians, and bones were continuously being incinerated, turning into nothing.
In just a few breaths of time.
His physical strength had already increased by a small margin!
After an hour.
The solar essence, which had been cut into countless parts, was finally absorbed by all parts of his body.
Luo Mu opened his mouth.
He actually exhaled thick, hot air.
The grass beneath his feet instantly turned black.
"Done!"
Luo Mu stood up, a look of joy in his eyes.
The construction of the Xuan Yang Inner Court was easier than he thought.
Of course, this was mainly because he had fully understood the cultivation method and had no doubts about it.
So, there were no mistakes.
After absorbing a wisp of solar essence, the cultivation method was considered 入门 (entry level).
The Xuan Yang Inner Court was also considered to be initially constructed.
To reach 初窥 (initial glimpse), he would need a total of fifty wisps of solar essence like the one he just absorbed.
"One wisp is so hard to wait for, let alone fifty. No wonder 玄阶 (Xuan Rank) cultivation methods are so hard to practice. Besides talent, there are also resource limitations."
Luo Mu muttered.
At the same time, the system's prompt sounded in his mind.
“Ding!”
“You have diligently practiced and persisted, operating the "Xuan Yang Ba Ti Gong", successfully building the Xuan Yang Inner Court. Triggered a critical strike, receiving a hundredfold harvest!”
