My daily cultivation progress is calculated.

Chapter 41, "The Nine Revolutions Golden Body Technique"! A fragmented, high-grade 3 culti

Shen Ci left, and Shen Rong led him to the Duke's Mansion.

I had assumed that even if the Duke's mansion wasn't extremely luxurious, it should at least be very grand.

I never expected the furnishings inside the mansion to be so simple, without any luxurious decorations or exquisite craftsmanship.

Shen Rong told him to wait in the main hall while he went to retrieve the cultivation manual alone.

The servants who passed by were all curious when they saw Shen Yan sitting alone in the main hall, and they all speculated about his identity.

Just as Shen Yan brought the tea to his lips, he saw that Shen Rong had already come out.

He was excited, even though Shen Ci downplayed it, saying that the technique was nothing special.

But Shen Yan knew that even if a scroll was just a fragment, it would be of immeasurable value if it caught Shen Ci's eye.

Although one should not accept rewards without merit, he desperately needs the cultivation technique right now.

If one joins a martial arts school like others, one must endure three or four years of hardship and undergo further trials before learning the school's signature techniques.

Shen Yan couldn't wait that long, and could only keep Shen Ci's kindness in his heart.

He stared intently at the brown leather in Shen Rong's hand.

Seeing his behavior, Shen Rong couldn't help but chuckle.

"Take it! This is the Nine Revolutions Golden Body Technique, the sect's most treasured cultivation method from the Buddhist Temple. The Golden Body Technique you cultivate is a simplified version of it. The Nine Revolutions Golden Body Technique is an external cultivation method that directly leads to the Grandmaster level. Although it is incomplete, the Duke said that it will not affect cultivation. Even if it cannot be perfected, its upper limit is only the middle third rank. I didn't expect the young master to give it to you. You must cherish it."

As Shen Yan listened to Shen Rong's words, his heart pounded as if it were about to burst out of his chest.

He was secretly amazed.

"A top-tier cultivation technique, just like that, given to me?"

He carefully took it; it was icy cold to the touch, made of some kind of animal skin, and surprisingly heavier than gold or stone.

Because Shen Yan was not very familiar with the forces in the martial arts world, he asked a question.

"Steward, what kind of organization is this Buddhist Temple? I'm practicing their signature martial arts technique; won't they come after me?"

"Don't worry! The Buddha Temple was destroyed by His Majesty twenty years ago, and it was the Duke who led the troops to wipe it out. It's a pity that half of the 'Nine Revolutions Golden Body Technique' was destroyed in the great battle, and the most important body-tempering formula needed to break through to the upper three ranks was lost. It has been sitting in the Duke's storeroom for a long time, and no one has been practicing it. The Second Young Master only remembered that there was such a scroll of the technique in the storeroom because he saw that you were practicing the 'Golden Body Technique'."

Shen Rong understood what Shen Yan was worried about and continued:

"Our Emperor cultivates the Tao, worships Heaven and Earth, and reveres the Celestial Venerable. He desires longevity, not rebirth in paradise. The Buddhist temples and monasteries in the Great Zhou Dynasty have been almost completely eradicated, so you can cultivate with peace of mind."

After saying that, he led him away from the Duke's mansion, giving him a final word of advice before leaving.

"Although the Second Young Master doesn't care about this technique, it is extremely precious to many people. Keep it safe and don't show it off, lest you attract unwanted attention."

"Yes, thank you for the reminder, Butler."

"Don't call me 'Master Butler,' it sounds awful. I'm a few years older than you, just call me Brother Rong!"

"Brother Rong, I'll be careful."

After saying that, Shen Yan put away the cultivation manual and went home.

Shen Rong watched his departing figure, lost in thought, and thought to himself.

"I wonder why Young Master thinks so highly of Shen Yan. Is there something special about him?"

He shook his head and walked back. Shen Yan's strength displayed during the day was only at the eighth rank.

While their abilities are commendable, it's hardly worth valuing them this much.

Shen Rong thought to himself, "Young Master has treated me differently on several occasions; it seems I should find someone to investigate further."

……

……

Shen Yan returned home.

He never expected that something like this would happen just because he wanted to become an apprentice. He was both amused and exasperated.

I haven't learned any kung fu, and I've offended a master of the middle third rank. I need to be careful from now on.

He sighed softly, "Sigh! Still too weak."

Shen Yan thought to himself.

If it weren't for Shen Rong's intervention, I don't know how I would have escaped today.

Although I am in the right today, without power, there is no place to reason.

He used to be a poor, pedantic scholar, and Shen Rong would pretend not to see him when they met.

He showed some talent, gained strength, and could even be affectionately called "Brother Rong".

Shen Yan knew that this was a world where the strong were respected and great power resided within oneself.

Power is the ladder to power. As long as you keep getting stronger, you will still gain the respect of others no matter where you are.

Let go of these distracting thoughts.

He carefully unrolled the leather scroll; he hadn't had time to examine it closely at the Duke's mansion earlier.

Just as Shen Rong had said, the latter half of the leather was destroyed.

The most important thing about external training methods is the accompanying body-refining medicinal bath. Without the medicinal bath, one can only waste half a lifetime and all one's efforts.

However, Shen Yan didn't care; this cultivation technique was most suitable for him.

"Having attained the Dao Fruit myself, I don't need a medicinal bath at all, and my cultivation speed remains just as fast. However, I wonder if a medicinal bath for advancement and breakthrough is necessary."

He quickly put these distracting thoughts aside. He hadn't even perfected the lower three ranks yet, so how could he care about the upper three ranks?

Even if one can only cultivate to the peak of the middle third rank, it is still far better than Iron Shirt.

The key is that you don't have to go to a martial arts school to be a servant and wait on your master.

Learning martial arts at a martial arts school is like having a father figure; the disciple has to take care of all the master's affairs, big and small, and it still takes several years to truly master the skills.

Shen Yan sometimes even considered taking matters into his own hands and robbing it, just as a senior once said.

"It's much easier to get in by 'getting in' than by passing the exam."

However, he ultimately managed to restrain his impulse.

This is Bianjing, right under the emperor's nose.

He closed his eyes, adjusted his breathing, calmed himself down, and prepared to begin practicing the exercises.

As the name suggests, the Nine Revolutions Golden Body Technique allows one to advance one rank with each revolution, and the physical body reaches perfection after nine revolutions.

After achieving perfect enlightenment, one's body is like the golden body of Buddha, remaining incorruptible even a thousand years after death.

He could even rival a master of internal cultivation, but that was still too far off for Shen Yan.

It is far more profound than the "Golden Body Technique".

Fortunately, Shen Yan has mastered the "Golden Body Technique," so it shouldn't be too difficult for him to switch to other techniques.

After all, all he wanted was to get started.

"External tempering of the skin is like a whirlwind, the Qi circulates throughout the body like a raging fire. Unfazed by a thousand hammer blows, the body is like newly cast bronze..."

Shen Yan thought to himself, "It seems that these body-refining techniques are all similar, only the acupoints to be activated and the medicinal herbs and spiritual materials used are different."

for a long time.

The moon was already high in the sky, and Shen Yan had been practicing in the courtyard for a long time.

"The difficulty of mastering the top three grades of martial arts has been underestimated."

Shen Yan had to admit that he was just an average person and not a martial arts prodigy.

At this rate of comprehension, he felt it would take him at least a week to grasp some of the essentials.

This was only because he had mastered the Golden Body Technique.

"However, the Golden Body Technique is almost complete. I hope there will be some changes by then to speed up my comprehension."

The moonlight is beautiful tonight; it's the perfect time to practice the ancient scroll techniques.

There are only a few days in a month, so naturally he wouldn't want to waste them.

The azure true energy in his meridians had grown stronger.

suddenly.

He emanated a faint golden light, and it looked as if tiny mice were scurrying about beneath his skin.

Shen Yan's dark eyes were tinged with a faint gold.

for a long time.

He exhaled a light breath.

"I never expected the Golden Body Technique to have reached its perfect state."
