Unexpected surprise

  These two secret books are "The Art of Breath Control" and "The Shape-Shifting Technique".

  "The Secret Method of Gathering Breath" describes a very subtle method of gathering breath and true energy circulation, which Liu Bo can only vaguely understand with his current martial arts knowledge.

  "The Art of Disguise" is a miscellaneous study that elaborates on the extension and contraction of bones, the movement and change of muscles, the cultivation and transformation of temperament, as well as the matching of clothing. It's not difficult to practice, but the various clever aspects have broadened Liu Bo's horizons.

  Although these two secret books cannot enhance the realm of Gongfa and the power of Wugong, they are very practical. At certain times, they are even more important than Wugong and Gongfa. Liu Bo decided to study them carefully in his spare time, not letting these two secret books collect dust.

  After briefly reading through two secret books, Liu Bo began to inspect the changes in the Qian Kun Ding.

  As early as when he killed that thin man, Liu Bo had already discovered the anomaly of the Qian Kun Ding. After the thin man's death, a red mist and a white mist appeared in the Qian Kun Ding. This red mist and white mist were not unfamiliar to Liu Bo, for the Bloodline Origin and Soul Origin he had absorbed were also such misty masses.

  After he killed the Living King Yanluo and the Fatso died, two red mists and two white mists reappeared in the Qiankun Ding. Only the red mist and white mist formed after the death of the Living King Yanluo were even more intense.

  Three people died in a row, and three clusters of red mist and white mist appeared one after another. Liu Bo had already confirmed that the Qian Kun Ding could absorb the blood essence and soul essence of the deceased cultivators. These essences would be stored in the Qian Kun Ding in the form of mist.

  He had thought that the Bloodline Origin and Soul Origin he had absorbed were preserved in the Cauldron of Heaven and Earth because of his own special connection to the deceased Liu Bo from another realm, but it turned out that the Cauldron could absorb both Origins of all deceased cultivators.

  This is too shocking!

  Liu Bo only knew that the Qian Kun Ding had the function of refining and transforming later heaven into earlier heaven, but he didn't expect that after combining with the Ding core, the first effect would be so **.

  A person's innate talent is formed before birth and is extremely difficult to change afterwards. And the origin of a person's soul is even more mysterious, it can only be gradually strengthened through the improvement of one's realm, never heard of any cultivation method that directly strengthens the soul's origin.

  Liu Bo didn't know what his talent was like, but judging from his physical condition, it might not be very outstanding. Now that he had the Bloodline Origin to absorb, wasn't that proof that his talent could be constantly strengthened? As for how far he could go, he didn't dare imagine.

  His soul origin should be very prominent, after all, he inherited everything from the otherworldly Liu Bo, and the greatest wealth of the otherworldly Liu Bo is his extraordinary wisdom. Now that there are more soul origins to absorb, his wisdom will continue to improve slowly.

  Qian Kun Ding can actually continue to enhance the owner's talent and soul origin, this is an incredible effect!

  With this role, Liu Bo's future has endless possibilities.

  Liu Bo calmed down the turbulent waves in his heart and eagerly began to absorb the two origins from the Qiankun Ding.

  Absorbing the origin is an extremely painful thing, just like entering the legendary eighteen layers of hell, that kind of extreme pain, at any time there is a possibility of collapse.

  Liu Bo had the experience of absorbing beforehand, and for such suffering, he could barely tolerate it. To enhance his innate talent and strengthen his soul, all this suffering was worthwhile.

  After starting to absorb the origin, Liu Bo found that his current absorption speed was already faster than when he first started.

  This discovery made him feel much better when he was suffering. He guessed that as his own blood origin and soul origin were strengthened, it would be relatively easier to absorb other origins, the speed of absorption would be faster, and the pain endured would also be reduced.

  In the subsequent practice, Liu Bo's guess was confirmed. He absorbed the essence of Fatty and Skinny, his speed increased a lot, and the suffering he endured also weakened somewhat.

  However, when he began to absorb the origin of the living Yama King, the situation changed again. Whether it was his bloodline origin or his soul origin, they were extremely difficult to absorb.

  During the absorption process, Liu Bo fainted several times because of his slightly faster absorption speed.

  Liu Bo endured the pain with great perseverance and did not give up absorbing, the suffering he endured even exceeded the degree of the first absorption. Despite this, his progress in absorbing the origin was slow as a snail, if he were to absorb both clusters of origin, at the current rate, it would take at least two months.

  Absorbing the origin, Liu Bo was not in a hurry for the time being. Every day, he fixed his absorption for two hours, and at other times, he continued to cultivate according to his previous plan.

  Since obtaining the spiritual stone, Liu Bo had yet to absorb it for cultivation and was preparing to try once.

  Although he agreed with Liu Qing not to use low-grade spirit stones for cultivation for the time being, Liu Bo believed that his current meridian toughness and hardness had already far exceeded those of ordinary people, and using spirit stones for cultivation was completely fine, it's just inconvenient to explain to others, so he used this as a temporary excuse.

  Liu Bo continued to cultivate the "Xuanbing Han Yan" technique.

  As the law operated, a large amount of spiritual energy surged into his meridians from the spiritual stone, with the incoming spiritual energy being at least ten times that of normal times. Liu Bo's meridians had been gradually strengthened after absorbing the blood meridian source, and now became extremely flexible, fully able to withstand the impact of the surging spiritual energy.

  Liu Bo felt that the meridian's endurance was completely fine, and he began to gradually increase the speed of the true energy's circulation. As the speed of the true energy's circulation increased, the spiritual energy gushing out from the Ling Stone became even more turbulent.

  An hour later, Liu Bo woke up after collecting his strength.

  "The effect of using the spiritual stone to cultivate is really fast! My 'Mystic Ice Flame' has already broken through to the fifth layer of Qi Refining, it seems that my future cultivation speed will increase several times." Liu Bo was overjoyed.

  Liu Bo knew that his use of spiritual stones to cultivate was just a special case, and others couldn't do it. Ordinary people can't reach the level of meridian flexibility he has now in the Qi Refining stage, and only when they reach the Condensing Spirit stage can their meridians withstand the impact of large amounts of spiritual energy, allowing them to absorb the spiritual energy of low-grade spiritual stones relatively quickly.

  In the following days, Liu Bo absorbed low-grade spirit stones every day to assist in his cultivation. The progress of his skill was rapid, and not only did "Xuanbing Han Yan" make great strides, but "Shan Shui Xin Jing" also accumulated to the peak of the sixth layer of Qi Refining, and it would soon break through to the seventh layer.

  Apart from practicing Gongfa, Liu Bo also would not relax in his research on martial techniques. After the last battle with Jing Shen Gaoshou, he deeply felt the gap between them. In the battle against Jing Shen Gaoshou, his mastery of martial techniques was still not inferior, but due to the limitations of his realm, Liu Bo's attack power was still severely insufficient and could hardly pose a threat to his opponent. To make up for this deficiency, he could only continue to delve deeper into the research of higher realms of various martial techniques.

  "Breaking the Sky Second Strike" was too profound, Liu Bo spent a lot of time studying this secret technique, although there were some progress, but for the time being it was still difficult to fully comprehend.

  Liu Bo's most accomplished martial skill, aside from "Breaking Heaven Strike", is the "Water Repelling Eighteen Forms". The "Water Repelling Eighteen Forms" does not restrict empty-handed use, but he had always used it with palm techniques and never researched using sword techniques. To increase his attacking power, Liu Bo would be better off using sword techniques to execute the "Water Repelling Eighteen Forms", which is more powerful than using palm techniques.
