The Azulet Sword Codex had a total of twelve levels, one of which was to refine the body. In order to have powerful martial arts, one must first have a strong body. After all, all martial arts relied on the body to perform. Therefore, the first level of the Azulet Sword Codex was to refine the body.
Most of the martial artists in Jianghu relied on training and doing some forced movements to strengthen their physique. Some people even had large bulging muscles, making the muscles all over their body clear and visible to the naked eye. Some people's bodies were even as hard as steel and iron.
In Jianchen's opinion, this kind of physical training method was no different from destroying one's own body. It was simply suppressing one's body function. Although this would make one's physical strength far beyond that of ordinary people, it would also cause great harm to one's body. This kind of person's lifespan was often very short, especially when they entered the old age, a series of problems would appear on their body.
Among the martial artists in the jianghu, there were some people and sects that had their own methods of tempering the body. However, in Jian Chen's opinion, these methods were all unorthodox. They didn't walk the correct path at all. Even the Shaolin Temple's Tendon Changing Scripture was no exception.
Although the Yi Jin Scripture was a dual cultivation of both internal and external, it could train one's inner strength internally and externally, it could train one's skin, flesh, tendons, and bones externally. However, the information recorded in the Yi Jin Scripture about training one's skin, flesh, tendons, and bones had yet to go deep into the bone marrow. In Jianchen's opinion, the Yi Jin Scripture could only train the skin, flesh, and bones on the surface of the human body. It did not achieve the true effect of training one's body at all.
The body refining method recorded in the Azulet Sword Codex was a very profound and mysterious method. It focused on absorbing the Qi of Heaven and Earth and then transforming it into the bone marrow of the body. This would strengthen every part of the body, every cell, and even the internal organs and organs of the body. Not only would this have a very good body refining effect, it would also bring endless benefits to the body. It could greatly extend one's lifespan. Moreover, in the later stages of the cultivation, one's body would become stronger along with their inner strength. The Azulet Sword Codex also indicated that if one could cultivate the body refining method to the highest level, they could even live as long as the heavens and earth.
However, the body refining method was related to one's own strength. Only when one's inner Qi was stronger could one's body become stronger. After all, the body refining method recorded in the Azulet Sword Codex required one's inner Qi to be integrated into the body. Once the inner Qi and the strength of the body reached a balance, one would have to break this balance as quickly as possible and work hard to increase the strength of the inner Qi. Only then would one's body be strengthened one step further.
The Qi of Heaven and Earth was endlessly absorbed by Jianchen. It circulated through the meridians in his body according to a specific cycle. Then, under Jianchen's control, it was integrated into every cell and internal organ in his body.
Ever since he came to this foreign world, the only thing that made Jianchen excited was the Qi of Heaven and Earth here. The Qi of Heaven and Earth here was extremely dense, more than a hundred times denser than the world he had lived in before. Compared to this place, the world he had lived in before was undoubtedly a poor and destitute place. It was like heaven and hell. The two could not be compared at all. This was the only thing that made Jianchen happy.
However, what made Jianchen puzzled was that the Qi of Heaven and Earth in this world was roughly the same as the Qi of Heaven and Earth in his previous life. However, Jianchen carefully discovered that the Qi of Heaven and Earth in this world had a special energy. This energy only took up a small portion of the Qi of Heaven and Earth, and it was closely connected to the Qi of Heaven and Earth. It was as if the two were one and could not be separated.
When this energy was absorbed into his body, it did not cause any discomfort. Therefore, Jianchen did not exclude this special energy that was obviously different from the Qi of Heaven and Earth. However, Jian Chen was extremely curious about this energy as well. A thought constantly circled through his head, which was that this energy was definitely not as simple as it seemed.
As the converted Qi of Heaven and Earth continuously integrated into his body, Jianchen also very clearly felt that every cell in his body, as well as the Eight Extraordinary Meridians and internal organs in his body, were constantly strengthening. This converted Qi of Heaven and Earth was like a great tonic for them. They all seemed to have come alive and were desperately absorbing the Qi of Heaven and Earth, like hungry tigers. At the same time, Jianchen also felt extremely comfortable from head to toe. There was an indescribable feeling of comfort that made him feel as if he was floating.
In the blink of an eye, another year had passed. Now, Jianchen had been in this foreign world for two whole years. In these two years, Jianchen did not take a single step out of Changyang Prefecture. He spent all his free time in his room, cultivating the first level of the Azulet Sword Mantra — Body Refinement.
Perhaps it was because the Qi of Heaven and Earth here was a hundred times denser than the world of his previous life, but Jianchen had achieved great results in the past year. Now, Jianchen did not doubt that a normal weapon in the hands of an ordinary person would not be able to harm him at all. It would not even be able to pierce through the outermost layer of his skin.
Of course, this was only Jianchen's feeling. He would not foolishly try it out just because of this.
In this year, Jianchen's body had also developed at an unbelievable speed. He was only two years old, but he was already 1.2 meters tall. He did not look like a two-year-old child at all. Instead, he looked more like a five- or six-year-old child.
This scene made everyone in Changyang Prefecture very surprised. Almost everyone had high hopes for Jianchen. They hoped that he was really a genius with limitless potential. However, all of this could only be confirmed when he was three years old.
Regarding all of this, Jianchen felt very helpless. He did not know if his body grew so fast because he cultivated the body refining technique of the Azulet Sword Codex. This was because in his previous life, he had not come into contact with the Azulet Sword Codex at this age.
After Jianchen accompanied his mother to the dining hall for dinner, he still habitually locked himself in his room. He locked the door and sat cross-legged on the bed. His hands were on his knees, and his eyes were closed. He was in a posture of facing the sky.
However, at this time, Jianchen was not cultivating. Instead, he was thinking. He had already been in this world for two years. In these two years, Jianchen had not taken a single step out of Changyang Prefecture. He spent most of his time cultivating in his room. Until now, his understanding of this world was still too little. It could be said that other than Changyang Prefecture, he did not know what kind of world this was. He did not even know what the outside world was like.
He was also very clear in his heart that he was only a two-year-old child in the eyes of others. A two-year-old child would usually be happily in the arms of their parents. They would grow up without any worries. They would not be able to come into contact with such matters.
After closing his eyes and thinking for a while on the bed, Jianchen finally decided to wait until the next day to ask his mother. He felt that he needed to know what kind of world this was.
After thinking through this point, Jianchen slowly opened his eyes and got off the bed. Tonight, he did not sit on the bed to cultivate as usual. Instead, he stood straight in the middle of the room with his eyes slightly closed.
In Jianchen's mind, a set of very profound footwork gradually appeared. Then, a scene suddenly appeared in Jianchen's mind. The scene was like a movie that constantly flowed. He saw a young man wearing a white robe and carrying a long sword on his back using profound footwork. The young man's speed was very fast. If it was a normal person, they would not be able to see the young man's figure clearly. This was because the young man's speed was just too fast. Although he was only moving in a small space, there was a series of faint afterimages behind him.
This young man was Jianchen's previous life. This set of footwork was recorded in the Azulet Sword Manual. It was very profound.
When the moonlight from the horizon shone into the room through the cracks in the window, Jianchen, who was standing in the middle of the room, suddenly opened his eyes. At this moment, he finally moved. His legs were moving at an unbelievable speed, almost forming a series of afterimages. Even some people who had practiced martial arts would not be able to maintain such a high speed with their legs.
Jianchen's legs carried a profound and rhythmic path as he constantly stepped on the ground. As he moved at high speed, his body also moved at an extremely fast speed through the room. His speed was so fast that it created a whirlwind in the room.
However, this scene did not last for very long. Jianchen quickly stopped. At this moment, his face was slightly pale and he was panting slightly. His legs could not help but tremble slightly.
Jianchen slowly walked to the window and sat down. He bent down and used his hands to massage his legs. The profound footwork only lasted for a short while. Jianchen's legs were incomparably soft and he felt as if he could no longer exert any strength.
Jian Chen helplessly shook his head. No matter what kind of martial arts one practiced, the first thing one needed to do was to train their muscles and bones. This saying was indeed true. The more profound the martial arts, the higher the requirements. Just like the set of steps he had just performed, if he didn't have a strong body and powerful Zhen Qi to support it, he wouldn't have been able to maintain it for long. After all, a normal body wouldn't be able to display such speed, and once the speed exceeded the body's limits, it would cause some damage to the body.
It was not that easy to train a profound martial art.
Jianchen sat on the edge of the bed and stretched his legs. After his legs returned to normal, he sat cross-legged on the bed and once again entered the state of absorbing the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi to refine his body.
The night passed quickly. In the blink of an eye, the sky was already bright. At this time, a voice came from outside Jianchen's room.
"Fourth Young Master, it's daybreak. It's time to get up!" Listening to the voice, it was obviously a girl's voice.
Hearing this, Jianchen who was sitting cross-legged on the bed slowly opened his eyes. He used a childish voice and said, "I know, Sister Honghua. I'm already up!" Saying this, Jianchen got up from the bed.
