Fang Yiyun took out a scroll from the storage bag and handed it to Lin Bai.

"Red Moon Nine Calamities Body!"

Lin Bai accepted the scroll, opened it, and saw five illustrations. In each illustration, a shadow of a person sat cross-legged, and Lin Bai could vaguely see meridians surging within these shadows.

Beside each illustration, there was a section of text recording the mental method incantations and cultivation essentials.

Seeing Lin Bai's fascination, Fang Yiyun slowly began to explain, "Body refining is different from Qi refinement!"

"Qi refinement refers to condensing spiritual energy from between Heaven and Earth into the body, accumulating in the dantian, transforming into a divine elixir. This power manifests in the warrior but actually originates from between Heaven and Earth!"

"Body refining, however, refers to developing the warrior's physical strength to its utmost limit. Even if one day, spiritual power is lost, the physical strength can still accomplish the creation of Heaven and Earth and traverse ten thousand years!"

"Qi refinement emphasizes the word 'refine'; body refining also emphasizes the word 'refine'."

"However, these two words 'refine' are not the same!"

"Qi refinement is easy, but body refining is extremely difficult! Therefore, the 'refine' in body refining involves refining through flames, forging the body to the utmost limit of Heaven and Earth from within flames!"

Fang Yiyun explained indifferently.

"A warrior's spiritual power can create Heaven and Earth, can transcend the mortal world, but the physical body is ultimately too weak!"

"However, body refiners possess powerful physical bodies and fierce strength, yet the suffering a body refiner endures is a hundred times that of Qi refinement, and this is why there are so few warriors engaged in body refining."

"Qi refinement and body refining are like civil and military examinations in the mortal world; Qi refinement tests for a literary champion, while body refining tests for a martial champion. Though both are champions, the literary and martial champions are fundamentally different!"

Fang Yiyun said with a faint smile.

"Therefore, a warrior in the Life-and-Death Realm can easily shatter a mountain weighing thirty thousand pounds, but he cannot carry it; body refinement is different, as it can both carry and shatter the mountain!"

Fang Yiyun said with a light laugh.

Hearing Fang Yiyun's explanation, Lin Bai had gained some insight into body refinement.

Fang Yiyun continued, "Lin Bai, the 'Red Moon Nine Calamities Body' I gave you today was obtained by chance from a skeleton inside a High-level Secret Realm, and I relied on this body-refining technique to successfully cultivate the Mother-Child Swordsmanship!"

"However, despite searching for many years, I have not found the remaining scrolls of the Red Moon Nine Calamities Body. Should you wish to cultivate it, with luck, you may find the remaining scrolls necessary to truly unlock the body's treasure."

"But although the Red Moon Nine Calamities Body is incomplete, it is still enough to cultivate up to before the Wending Realm!"

Fang Yiyun said with a light laugh.

"Red Moon Nine Calamities Body, one layer under calamity transformation, one calamity under the moon ascension!"

Curiously, Lin Bai asked, "What are the nine calamities?"

Fang Yiyun laughed, "The Red Moon Nine Calamities refer to nine physical transformations after a warrior cultivates the Red Moon Nine Calamities Body. Each time one experiences the calamity moon, the physical body is enhanced!"

"One calamity moon is equivalent to unlocking a body's treasure."

"However, the remaining scroll I have can only unlock the body's treasure five times. According to my conjecture, if one could unlock it nine times, the body's power could contend with Wending, or even become a...Daoist Body!"

"Because I believe the Red Moon Nine Calamities Body is intended to counter tribulation!"

Lin Bai frowned and asked, "Tribulation? What is it?"

Fang Yiyun shook his head and said, "I am not clear either, just know a bit about tribulation from ancient books. It is said...tribulation is a realm above Wending, but this realm basically does not exist in our world."

"According to legend, two ancestors of the God-Demon Sect once experienced tribulation."

Lin Bai nodded with partial understanding and clasped his hands, saying, "Thanks to Master Fang for granting me the body refining technique."

Fang Yiyun said with a strange laugh, "Since you want to cultivate the Red Moon Nine Calamities Body, I do not stop you, but I also do not give something for nothing!"

"You must, like Meng Li and the others, go to the 'Sky Desolation Secret Realm' and catch rabbits for me to eat!"

Fang Yiyun smiled mysteriously.

"Rabbits? What rabbits?" Lin Bai frowned and asked.

Fang Yiyun chuckled in response, "In the Sky Desolation Secret Realm, there is a type of rabbit known as the Mountain-moving Rabbit, a kind of barren beast like a mortal rabbit, with immense strength to move mountains. Its meat is very tasty, yet many warriors in Dongzhou Academy desire to eat the Mountain-moving Rabbit but cannot!"

"These Mountain-moving Rabbits are very rare and only exist in the Sky Desolation Secret Realm!"

"Furthermore, the Sky Desolation Secret Realm is also a good place for your cultivation nowadays!"

Fang Yiyun said with a light laugh.

Curiously, Lin Bai asked, "Why have I never heard of the Sky Desolation Secret Realm?"

Fang Yiyun laughed, "How long have you been at Dongzhou Academy? How could you possibly know?"

"The Sky Desolation Secret Realm is a mid-level secret realm in the South Campus of Dongzhou Academy, containing a vast world. It was originally a place for the Southern Yard to rear spirit beasts, but as more and more spirit beasts were cast into the Sky Desolation Secret Realm, they became rampant, gradually forming spiritual wisdom, transforming into the Demon Clan!"

"Since two ten thousand years ago, the Sky Desolation Secret Realm has been sealed by the Southern Yard, prohibiting the rearing of spirit beasts!"

"However, spirit beasts in the Sky Desolation Secret Realm have reached a climate, becoming the Demon Clan, who dream of breaking free from the secret realm to gain freedom."

"Originally, the Southern Yard planned to open the Sky Desolation Secret Realm a ten thousand years ago to give them freedom, but unfortunately, upon leaving the secret realm, they attempted to destroy the Southern Yard, dominate under heaven, and enslave the Human Clan."

"Southern Yard warriors fought valiantly and drove these demon clans back into the Sky Desolation Secret Realm!"

"Initially, after that battle a ten thousand years ago, the Southern Yard intended to ask the strong from the Death Reversal Realm to demolish the Sky Desolation Secret Realm, but after that battle, the demon clan's strong ones spilled blood, setting a colossal curse within the Sky Desolation Secret Realm!"

"Any warrior beyond Life-and-Death Realm entering would suffer from the demon clan's blood curse, with exhausting blood within three days and exploding to death within seven days!"

"Several Southern Yard Death Reversal Realm warriors entered and exploded to death within seven days; from then on, only warriors in the Life-and-Death Realm could enter the Sky Desolation Secret Realm!"

"Therefore, the Southern Yard summons warriors to enter the Sky Desolation Secret Realm to eliminate the demon clan!"

"Nowadays, most Southern Yard warriors are joyously battling demon clans in the Sky Desolation Secret Realm!"

"After you go to the Sky Desolation Secret Realm, you will naturally get to know it! By the way, Meng Li, Wu Ming, Changsun Yun, and Shu Xiang are also in the Sky Desolation Secret Realm!"

"You need to endure great suffering to cultivate the Red Moon Nine Calamities Body. Through my research, in the Desolate Heaven Mountain Range, there is a kind of spiritual medicine known as...Multiple-Refining Grass!"

"This spiritual medicine can alleviate the pain after each calamity moon cultivation!"

"Multiple-Refining Grass is rarer than Mountain-moving Rabbit, and this medicine will wither after three hours of being picked, unable to be preserved for long, so you need to go to the Sky Desolation Secret Realm to find this medicine!"

Lin Bai nodded understandingly, "Since I am to cultivate the Red Moon Nine Calamities Body, then the Mountain-moving Rabbit that Master Fang wants, I will certainly find it in the Sky Desolation Secret Realm and bring it back!"

Fang Yiyun laughed, "Good, good, good!"

Lin Bai laughed, "Then I shall go back and prepare, then set off!"
