As a researcher, Wang Qiang's main task this time was actually simple:

To observe the characteristics of the blazing stone up close, and see if there are any unexpected discoveries.

After all, the research team she is part of specializes in Spiritual Energy, and is the most knowledgeable team about Spirit Stones and Spiritual Energy in the whole camp.

Moreover, the Barbarian Merchant Team is camped just outside Chixian City, making coming and going very easy, it's at most just a matter of an extra pair of chopsticks.

As a result, she was casually included by Lin Li.

But who could have imagined, this girl once again became Lin Ziming's comedic partner.

That's right.

Again.

Last time when discussing the beast-taming cultivation technique with Luo Xiaotai, Lin Ziming also used the trick of deception on her.

Old tricks used again.JPG.

However, Red Dragon knew nothing of this old incident, nor had he watched Teacher Ben Shan's sketches.

So upon hearing Master Tian's translation, this big guy suddenly seemed enlightened.

He slapped his forehead and said urgently to Lin Ziming:

"Steward Lin, this young lady has reminded me...

Are you interested in the body refining techniques of the tribes?

Can it be traded in exchange for some Spirit Stones?"

Wang Qiang on the side: "...."

Seeing the bait taken, Lin Ziming pretended to be stunned at first.

Then he put on a hesitant expression:

"Body refining techniques....

It is possible, but aren't these considered your tribe's secret teachings?

Is it appropriate to use them for trade?"

Red Dragon quickly shook his head, not realizing he fell into a trap:

"No, no, not at all.

Body refining techniques are ubiquitous in the tribes behind the Celestial Moon Mountain Range, there are as many as 8,000 if not 10,000, it's not that big of a secret.

The truly precious techniques are held by those large tribes, and the techniques of ordinary small tribes are not much different.

Compared to the miraculous items that can heal celestial fern, what's a few techniques?

Rest assured.

Even if we return to the tribe, the elders there won't have any objections."

Red Dragon spoke these words with confidence, clearly full of self-assurance.

Though he's not very learned, he sure knows how to do the math.

The drug called Levofloxacin, even if it cannot permanently cure the celestial fern, at least the single-use therapeutic effect is undeniable.

Moreover, its price is just one-thirtieth of a Qingning Pill.

In other words.

Even if its effect is the same as the Qingning Pill, only valid for single use, a direct descendant from the tribe can have as many as thirty doses in a lifetime.

If direct descendants have thirty opportunities, then ordinary tribesmen should at least get three to five doses, right?

In this way, how many people can survive in the entire tribe each year?

The local history of medicine has already clearly illustrated one thing:

When a medically treating drug for a disease can be used by patients each time the disease flares and is effective, then this disease can, in a certain sense, be considered eradicated.

At the very least, it certainly won't be classified as an incurable disease.

Therefore, he is a hundred percent certain that the important figures of the tribe will not punish him, and might even commend him!

"That does make sense..."

Lin Ziming could vaguely guess Red Dragon's mindset, so he wasn't too surprised.

Instead, he asked another more practical question:

"Commander Red Dragon, can you briefly introduce the body refining lineage?

To be honest with you.

I only have a slight understanding of the body refining lineage and am completely clueless about anything deeper."

Upon hearing this, Red Dragon nodded cheerfully.

He rolled up his sleeve, revealing a bronzed arm:

"Body refining, also known as physical arts or barbarian arts.

The term 'barbarian arts' is not a discriminatory term originating from the central region, it's an expression that has existed behind the Celestial Moon Mountain Range since ancient times.

According to the sayings passed down by our ancestors, the stages of body refining are primarily divided into four levels:

Namely skin, muscle, bone, and viscera.

These four levels correspond to the Stone Lifting, Mountain Opening, Air Combat, and Stored Essence, the four major realms of body refining.

They correlate to Qi Cultivation to Nascent Soul in the central regions.

The Stone Lifting Realm focuses on refining the skin.

When perfected, the color of the epidermis is like brass, supple and tough, impervious to swords and spears.

The Mountain Opening Realm, where I am, requires muscle refining.

Upon perfection, the muscles are as hard as iron, even if fried in oil they remain fragrant, crispy, and full, with not the slightest odd taste...

For this reason, some body cultivators have a love for cannibalism—of course, the Yange Tribe has never had that habit.....

Once reaching the Air Combat Realm, body cultivators begin to refine bones.

By then, they are able to control flight with a physical body, and a century after death, their skeleton remains crystal clear...

As for Stored Essence, it starts....."

Red Dragon rambled on, roughly introducing the lineage of barbarian arts.

Skin, muscle, bone, viscera.

These are the key four realms of body refining.

And from a scientific perspective, this progression also aligns with known principles.

The Core Formation Realm and Nascent Soul Realm can both fly, and their flying speed is extremely fast.

To withstand the impact of such speed, two "hardware" elements are critical:

First is a highly developed brain area, to avoid crashing into something or overshooting during flight.

Second is a powerful body, capable of withstanding various pressures and resistances.

For example, the renowned Ultraman.

Their massive heights of dozens of meters and heavyweight of several thousand tons are not just imagined but functionally related to their flying speeds.

It's essentially a discrete logistic equation.

The most typical representative corrected by data enthusiasts should be Ultraman Power.

This Ultraman once had incredibly terrifying data, which a physics master's thesis at Waseda University later criticized as seriously flawed.

Consequently, in the Tsuburaya Universe, Ultraman Power's arm strength was normalized back to 130,000 tons.

Of course.

For other settings like Ultraman flying at speeds faster than light, or Tielo traveling through parallel universes using the Shield of Palaghi, you can only take those with a grain of salt, can't take them too seriously.

In summary.

Compared to the Spiritual Energy cultivation system, the body refining system of the barbarians undoubtedly provides more direct feedback and descriptions regarding physical bodies.

As for what's beyond Stored Essence comparable to Divinity Transformation, Red Dragon was not familiar, given his limited information sources.

However, for the rabbits, the first four realms are pretty much sufficient, a journey begins with a single step after all.

Then Lin Ziming thought of something, continuing to ask:

"By the way, Commander Red Dragon.

Didn't you previously say that for barbarians to enter body refining, they must train at the Holy Mountain?

What if we acquire this cultivation technique....."

Red Dragon thought for a moment and replied somewhat helplessly:

"Steward Lin, as far as I know, the ceremony of worshiping the Holy Mountain cannot be replaced.

For example, there are also a few body cultivators existing on the periphery of the Celestial Moon Mountain Range, and they embarked on this path only after undergoing the Holy Mountain's rituals.

So if someone wants to become a body cultivator, they must certainly go to the Holy Mountain to awaken their physique.

However, if you really have some plans, the tribe can guide some people to the Holy Mountain.

After all, the Holy Mountain opens once every six years, and each time thousands of people from the tribe visit, sneaking a few more in won't have too large of an impact."

Upon hearing this, Lin Ziming kept his expression unchanged, but sighed slightly in his heart.

According to what Red Dragon said earlier, the journey to the Holy Mountain takes a year or two from the Yange Tribe.

This time expenditure is somewhat long for the rabbits, especially at such a crucial time.

It's possible that when they leave the highest is Qi Cultivation, but by the time they return, Core Formation would be everywhere.
