Chapter 2 - 2: 002 Ancient Body Refinement Technique_1

Translator: 549690339

Unable to comprehend, Su Yu pushed down the doubts in his heart and began to concentrate on cultivating.

He had Lindong cook half a kilo of Spirit Rice for lunch. After consuming the rice, Su Yu sat cross-legged under a tree in the courtyard, harnessing the delicate spiritual energy from the rice and quietly cultivating the Phoenix Tree Wood Technique.

‘The spiritual energy is somewhat thin. Despite the Spirit Gathering Array setup within the mansion, and this being the place where spiritual energy is most abundant in the vicinity, it’s still incomparable to those sect lands.’

Feeling his own cultivation speed, Su Yu gently shook his head.

The strength of the Su Family was still too weak.

They didn’t even possess a low-grade Spirit Vein as family property.

If he had a low-grade Spirit Vein, his cultivation speed might probably increase two or three-fold.

But now, under the scarce spiritual energy environment, he could only rely on the spiritual energy from the Spirit Rice for cultivation.

Fortunately, thanks to the nurturing from the spiritual energy of Spirit Rice, Su Yu’s cultivation speed indeed improved slightly.

Originally he needed to cultivate over four hours a day to reach his limit. But after using Spirit Rice, he needs less than four hours a day.

The next day, the proficiency in the first level of the Phoenix Tree Wood Technique increased to 1.88%.

That’s an increase of about 0.28% compared to the day before.

Based on this, it would take him a year to increase to the second layer of Qi Refinement Realm.

Since he had just set foot in the cultivation path, Su Yu temporarily had no assignments in the clan, and just needed to routinely cultivate. He could collect a monthly supply of Spirit Stones and Spirit Rice every month.

“Let’s try a low-grade Spirit Stone.” Su Yu couldn’t help but use the only low-grade Spirit Stone he had for cultivation.

Over five days, Su Yu’s cultivation speed doubled.

No, it should be said that the proficiency growth speed of the Phoenix Tree Wood Technique had doubled.

In five days, the proficiency increased from the original 1.88% to 4.7%.

The mana of the Phoenix Tree Wood Technique inside his body had increased a lot.

It’s just a pity, by the end of five days, the spiritual energy in low-grade Spirit Stone had been depleted. Without Spirit Stones, he could only rely on Spirit Rice for cultivation.

The cultivation speed drastically fell.

“Cultivating with Spirit Stones is more comfortable.” Su Yu felt a bit uncomfortable, but soon adjusted himself.

If it’s slow, let it be, as long as the proficiency can be improved, there’s no rush.

After all, he was only 16 years old, with decades of lifespan left, thinking about steadily cultivating, he should have a chance to successfully establish his foundation.

Once that time comes, he would have a lifespan of two hundred years, then he could try finding opportunities to form a Golden Core…

If he could manage that, then there’s hope in becoming a True Man of the Core Formation Realm!

Days were calm. Beyond cultivation, Su Yu was also familiarizing himself with the two spells at his disposal.

Increase in proficiency of these two spells was much easier than the cultivation technique. Daily routine cultivation increased the proficiency quickly to over 10%.

With nothing to worry about regarding the family affairs, Su Yu led a fulfilling life every day, steadfastly cultivating spells and techniques.

One day, during his spare time, Su Yu came to the family’s treasury hall, looking at various books about the cultivation world.

‘The Thousand Year Chronicles of Yunjian Sect.’

‘The Undisclosed Secrets of the Da Ming Mansion and the Da Ming Palace.’

‘Adventures in Bai Yue Immortal City.’

‘Records of Extraordinary People and Events in the Great Daqian Cultivation World.’

…

‘The Yunjian Sect’s founding forefather, the Yunjian Fairy, is rumored to be a stunningly beautiful Sword Immortal, who once flattened a mountain with a single stroke of her sword, establishing the mountain gate of Yunjian Sect…’

‘Five hundred years ago, a prodigy Daozi emerged from the Yunjian Sect. At the young age of sixty, he reached the Golden Core realm and guided Yunjian Sect to its peak… However, after a hundred years, this Daozi mysteriously died from severe injuries. It’s rumored that he had challenged a Nascent Soul powerhouse from the Da Yue Palace.’

‘The inheritance of Da Yue Palace is a mystery, it’s said that there’s a Da Yue Lake blessed land in the core dojo of the palace, where one day’s cultivation is equivalent to a thousand miles of a normal cultivation journey…’

‘What True Man Bai Yue pursued in his life was the legendary figures of Da Yue Palace…’

Most of these books record trivial matters and some common knowledge about the cultivating world.

There are also numerous rumors about famous personalities, especially those related to True Man Bai Yue’s past affairs, Su Yu found them very intriguing. However, it was a pity there was no sequel.

For half a month, Su Yu spent his free time in the library.

One day, he found a worn-out classic text.

“Eh, Crocodile Demon 108 Physical Training Techniques?” Looking at the record on this worn-out classic, Su Yu felt a stir in his heart.

In the game, cultivation techniques were the cultivator’s most critical foundation.

But apart from cultivation techniques, physical training could not be underestimated.

Because at the end of physical training are the ancient gods, such as in the era of the ancient witch tribe, they dominated with their physical strength and no one could compete with them.

Maybe physical training methods were inferior to cultivation, but exactly which was stronger between physical training and cultivation was hard to say.

Moreover, even if many cultivators looked down on physical training techniques, in reality, many cultivators secretly practiced physical training techniques.

Because compared to the powerful mana of the cultivators, their physical body was a weak point.

There are many benefits to practicing physical training techniques.

The game character that Su Yu had previously played even practiced a physical training technique.

Su Yu carefully looked at the “Crocodile Demon 108 Physical Training Techniques” in his hand, and only after reading it did he understand why this physical training technique had been languishing in the library.

This physical training technique was not simple and was derived from an ancient giant crocodile demon.

The physical training technique created by it could be practiced by individuals with the bloodline of its demon clan.

Nowadays, there was no such crocodile demon bloodline in River City’s cultivation realm.

Naturally, this physical training technique became obsolete.

The physical training technique in Su Yu’s hands only had the first eighteen styles.

“Hehe, Little Yu found this physical training technique? Are you tempted?” A hoarse voice came from behind, “What a pity though, we tried many times in the early years and even went through great efforts to obtain the essence blood of a crocodile demon to try and cultivate it.”

“But we never succeeded in the end. Not only we from Su family have this physical training technique, other cultivating forces have it too.”

“But after so many years, I have never heard of anyone who has successfully cultivated it.”

“That crocodile demon clan’s bloodline, I guess, has probably gone extinct.”

Su Yu turned around, it turned out to be Elder Su Bin from his clan, an elder man with slightly gray hair whose cultivation had already reached the seventh layer of Qi Refinement.

It was said that the library was single-handedly established by Fifth Elder Su Bin, and most of the classics in here were collected by him after putting in a great deal of effort, all for the purpose of broadening the horizons of the younger generations of the clan.

“Fifth Grandpa.” As such, Su Yu respectfully bowed to him, he had great respect for this elder.

Then, Su Yu hesitated and said, “I wonder if I could borrow this physical training technique for a while?”

Su Bin smiled and said, “Of course, but if you try to practice it and can’t succeed, don’t waste your efforts anymore. The most important thing is still the practice of your own cultivation technique.”

“Thank you, Fifth Grandpa.” Su Yu happily replied.

After seeing this physical training technique, Su Yu lost interest in other classics, and immediately left with the “Crocodile Demon 108 Physical Training Techniques”.

Returning to his own courtyard, Su Yu carefully studied the physical training technique.

Although he didn’t have the so-called crocodile demon bloodline as a foundation, he silently started practicing according to the eighteen physical training techniques recorded on it.

Ten days passed.

Every day, besides methodically practicing the Tutelage of the Wutong and spells, Su Yu spent the rest of his time practicing the Crocodile Demon Physical Training Techniques.

One day, accompanied by a rumble from his body, Su Yu felt his blood boiling like molten lava, incredibly hot.

His skin, flesh, and bones were all undergoing a transformation, and vaguely, surging blood in his body converged into a colossal crocodile phantom, encompassed in blood-red energy, appearing demonic. The moment the gigantic crocodile took form, it howled towards the sky.

“Roar!”

Su Yu was startled, blood veins emerged from his skin, a robust strength gushed from his body, giving him an illusion that he could split a mountain and shatter rocks with a punch.
