Grinding Cultivation Toward Martial Saint

The end of 9:45 a.m.

Noon is approaching.

Two horses, radiant with wisdom and human nature, were pulling the carriage swiftly down the flat road.

Jiang Ning sat cross-legged atop the carriage, with the blazing sun hanging high overhead.

[Realm]: Fourth Grade Marrow Refining (1999/1999)

[Skill]: Inner Elixir Cultivation Skill (Great Success 5467/10000)

In the past half month, the greatest progress has been in the pace of marrow refining.

Yesterday, he reached Perfection in marrow refining, achieving the level of refining marrow like frost, with blood like mercury.

Now, the blood within his body no longer flows like that of an ordinary person but instead congeals like silver mercury.

Such a phenomenon also indicates that his progress in marrow refining has reached Perfection.

Blood like mercury is a phenomenon produced once marrow refining is thoroughly complete.

Because blood originates from marrow.

The next step is to enter the Third Grade and become a Grandmaster.

As for how to enter the ranks of Grandmasters, he was already aware.

The first and simplest, also the most common Grandmaster, is achieved by completing a blood exchange with Hundred Spirit Blood, thus stepping into the ranks of Grandmasters.

But this is also the weakest Grandmaster, known as the Human Dao Grandmaster.

They are called Human Dao Grandmasters because humans rank as the chiefs of all spirits.

And the reason they are the weakest Grandmasters is because Hundred Spirit Blood consists of ordinary creatures.

Ordinary creatures have spiritual materials too weak by nature to form a solid foundation.

The second method is much more difficult.

It requires secret realms or small worlds left behind from Ancient Times.

This is because since Ancient Times to present, the environment of Heaven and Earth has changed drastically.

The spirit plants that were once Immortal Treasures and Medicine in Ancient Times have lost their previous effectiveness because the spiritual materials of Heaven and Earth no longer exist due to environmental changes.

But this environmental change does not affect the secret realms known as small worlds.

The environment within the secret realms still supports the growth of Immortal Treasures and Medicine.

Hence, these Immortal Treasures harbor extremely strong spiritual materials.

Strong practitioners at the Perfect Realm of marrow refining can refine this inner spiritual material to complete the blood exchange.

This type of Grandmaster, known as an Earth Carrying Master, achieves the Third Grade Grandmaster by drawing on the spiritual material within Immortal Treasures.

Their foundations are much deeper and their power much stronger.

But the hardest part of achieving Grandmaster through this path is acquiring Immortal Treasures and Medicine from secret realms and small worlds.

Especially in the current era, with the passage of time, unknown secret realms and small worlds have become very rare.

Therefore, this path has become increasingly difficult.

Without finding the secret realms and small worlds handed down from Ancient Times, one cannot find Immortal Treasures.

Nor can one refine Immortal Treasures to grasp spiritual materials.

As for the third method.

It's also the most difficult method.

To comprehend the Heavenly Human Unity Realm, triggering the communion between Heaven and Man to obtain the Heaven and Earth Spirit Mechanism for blood exchange, thus becoming a Heavenly Human Grandmaster.

Achieving this step requires an extremely high level of comprehension.

Besides the communion with Heaven and Man, other ways can trigger the communion with Heaven and Man.

Conception is one such method.

As well as some special cultivation techniques.

The only special cultivation technique Jiang Ning currently knows is the Inner Elixir Cultivation Skill.

When this technique reaches Perfection, forming a Golden Core to swallow into his belly, his fate shall be his own, not dictated by the heavens, which triggers the communion with Heaven and Man, inducing the Heaven and Earth Spirit Mechanism into the body, thereby stepping into the ranks of Heavenly Human Grandmasters.

In recent days.

Jiang Ning, leveraging the advantages of the Inspection Office and his status as a Patrol Envoy, also gained a more detailed introduction through the Inspection Office.

An introduction to achieving Grandmaster.

Blood Exchange Grandmaster is not a simple, traditional sense of blood exchange.

It is to induce the newly born marrow blood with the perfection of marrow refining.

Introducing spiritual materials, or the Heaven and Earth Spirit Mechanism, in a specific context to achieve Grandmaster.

Each initial intent is different, and the number of blood exchanges also varies.

For example, Water and Fire Profound Transformation.

Needs two blood exchanges.

When sufficient new marrow blood is nurtured in the bone marrow, the first exchange must take place in a site abundant with water intention to complete the first blood exchange.

The second blood exchange should be completed in the earth's fire or such special environments like a volcanic crater.

For example, Four Seasons Blood Transfusion, Four Symbols Return to Origin.

It must be completed in spring during the growth of plants, using rare treasures containing Yimu Essence as a guide for the first blood exchange.

The second blood exchange requires high temperatures in summer with fire essence and the like as a guide to complete the second blood exchange.

The third blood exchange needs to be completed in autumn, using Geng Metal and other materials as a guide in places of solemnity like ancient battlefields for the third blood exchange.

The fourth blood exchange must be completed in the extreme cold of winter.

Only then can the blood exchange be thoroughly completed, reaching the grand peak of Grandmaster.

Besides this, he also learned about the Yin-Yang Transformation.

It requires completing a blood exchange in the Land of Extreme Yin and the Land of Extreme Yang.

There is also the Five Elements Profound Transformation, Star Cycle, Life and Death Cycle, Heavenly Phenomena and Climate, Nirvana Nine Transformations... and so on.

All the above paths are routes only the Heavenly Human Grandmaster can take.

Through the communion with Heaven and Man, introducing the Heaven and Earth Spirit Mechanism into the body, one can achieve various profound mysteries.

For Human Dao Grandmasters, if they have no higher pursuits, there are only three transformations.

Namely Hundred Spirit Blood, Thousand Spirit Blood, and Ten Thousand Spirit Blood.

As for Earth Carrying Masters, they express their changes in years.

Ten years, a hundred years, a thousand years, or even ten thousand years.

The vast majority of Grandmasters can only complete up to three blood exchanges at most.

Because each additional blood exchange requires a more solid physical foundation.

The process of blood exchange is one of gradual blood exhaustion, followed by rejuvenation and renewal from a state of depletion.

The entire process of rejuvenation and renewal requires frantically absorbing the energy contained within the physical body.

If the physical body's foundation is insufficient and roots unstable, one cannot withstand this test.
