Chapter 178: Nine Transformations Three Conditions

Translator: Ninetales Editor: Fish_Creek

Even though Qin Mu was sprinting at a flying speed, his brain was still continuing to think, becoming unprecedentedly active. Even though they didn’t talk much, this meeting with Eternal Peace Imperial Preceptor had made his brain sink into a stimulated state.

Meeting an unmatched talent would excite oneself, give pressure to oneself and raise oneself up.

Even though it was only a normal conversation to Eternal Peace Imperial Preceptor, it had an extraordinary significance to Qin Mu. Just by standing in front of this legendary figure, he would require a huge amount of courage and while talking to him, he would need to set all his wisdom into motion.

By conversing with intelligent people, it would fill oneself with wisdom and if one kept company with ordinary people, they would become ordinary as well.

Qin Mu made use of this opportunity where he was conversing with Imperial Preceptor to let his wisdom be at his tip-top state, taking this chance to perfect Unity Technique.

Suddenly, his footsteps slowed down and his vital qi circulated through the new and improved Overlord Body Three Elixir Technique. The current Overlord Body Three Elixir Technique was the Unity Technique he had perfected, which had the good points of numerous techniques from Great Educational Heavenly Devil Scriptures integrated into it.

The original Overlord Body Three Elixir Technique had no attributes and was solely used to execute other techniques and skills. Its power couldn’t be compared to the techniques which came with their own divine arts.

For example, Thunderclap Eight Strikes requires Rulai’s Mahayana Sutra to be able to unleash its full power. Secrets of Moving Rain requires Black Tortoise Water Control Technique to execute it. Secrets of Rolling Thunder and Flames requires Vermillion Bird Fire Control Technique to master it, only then could the power of the thunder and flames be completely unleashed.

Meanwhile, Overlord Body Three Elixir Technique was a technique and didn’t come with spells or divine arts.

Comprehending Unity Technique this time, Qin Mu had used Overlord Body Three Elixir Technique as the foundation to comprehend the teaching of the woodcutter on the rock. He aroused all kinds of characteristics from Overlord Body Three Elixir Technique to allow it to unleash the power of all kinds of skills!

Overlord Body Three Elixir Technique had no attributes so it couldn’t be used for body refinement. It also had no divine arts coming with it, therefore, it couldn’t turn into powerful attacks.

However, comprehending Unity Technique this time, Qin Mu had finally solved this difficult problem.

And now, Overlord Body Three Elixir Technique had become even more all-embracing. By using the Overlord Body Three Elixir Technique improved by him, the spells, sword skills, battle techniques executed were no weaker than using the coherent technique to execute them!

This was the so-called Unity Technique of Great Educational Heavenly Devil Scriptures.

Every cult master of Heavenly Devil Cult had their own unique Unity Technique and the young patriarch’s original intention was to let Qin Mu cultivate both Unity Technique and Overlord Body Three Elixir Technique at the same time after comprehending it. Even though it might be slower, he could attain the advantages of both techniques simultaneously.

But he never thought Qin Mu would directly make improvements on Overlord Body Three Elixir Technique instead of comprehending the technique that was built from the foundation of Great Educational Heavenly Devil Scriptures.

Qin Mu didn’t know if this was good or bad, or if it was the correct decision. Ever since he was young, he had cultivated Overlord Body Three Elixir Technique and was most familiar with this technique, thus he had subconsciously changed Overlord Body Three Elixir Technique into Unity Technique.

The most crucial point was that he had resolved the inadequateness of Overlord Body Three Elixir Technique on body refinement, spells, and battle techniques.

He executed the improved Overlord Body Three Elixir Technique and now, Overlord Body Three Elixir Technique had fused Nine Transformations Three Conditions Mystery Technique, the body refinement technique of Great Educational Heavenly Devil Scriptures. This technique was a top-notch body refinement technique in Great Educational Heavenly Devil Scriptures.

Qin Mu had all long been envious of the body refinement techniques of the battle techniques school. However, Old Ma, Butcher, and Cripple had not taught him techniques of this area, therefore, he could only find it from Great Educational Heavenly Devil Scriptures.

As he executed the technique, Qin Mu instantly felt the extraordinary points of the improved Overlord Body Three Elixir Technique. His vital qi was circulating rapidly and permeating into his skin, muscles, tendons, hairs, and bone marrow.

In the past, his Overlord Body Three Elixir Technique had a simpler path of circulation in his body and now his Overlord Body Three Elixir Technique has reached into all parts of his body.

Other than refining his body, the new Overlord Body Three Elixir Technique also refines his soul, his qi, being extremely superior.

Qin Mu started to walk slower and slower as he gradually stopped. He experienced the inadequate points in his technique with detail and amended them.

The basic structure of his Unity Technique had already been determined and all that’s lacking was the minor details.

He was very lacking in body refinement and soul refinement. Now he only felt like his body was a dried land that had not seen rain for half a year which was currently absorbing all the moisture and nutrients from the rainwater frantically.

Great Educational Heavenly Devil Scriptures’ Nine Transformations Three Conditions was the nine transformations of vital qi and corporeal body and the three conditions of bones in the body. The first condition was bones inseparably close, the second condition was body like iron and the third condition was like mountain.

Now he was only at the stage of the first transformation and first condition.

Unknowingly, half a day had passed by and Qin Mu slowly came to Floor of Heavenly Records. In front of Floor of Heavenly Records, a secretary passed by coincidentally and gave him a glance, his face immediately changed and he cried out, ”Academician Qin, you’d better recuperate yourself otherwise you won’t live for much longer!”

Qin Mu was bewildered and didn’t understand what he meant. Suddenly a wind blew and he instantly felt giddy and collapsed.

”Crap!”

Qin Mu was astonished and immediately raised his hands. Looking at his emaciated arms, he touched his face and could only feel his thin skin that was clinging onto his cheekbones.

The clothes that were originally very fitting had now become slightly loose.

Only now then did he notice he had become terrifying skinny in four hours, like a person made from firewood. Not only that, his corporeal body was also exhausted!

Furthermore, as he executed Overlord Body Three Elixir Technique, the speed of this kind of exhaustion increased exponentially!

When the energy in his corporeal body got exhausted completely, his death would be due.

He only focused on perfecting Overlord Body Three Elixir Technique and cultivating the skills of body refinement and soul refinement. However, he didn’t pay attention to his body and only knew now that he was burnout.

”The new Overlord Body Three Elixir Technique has quite a serious hidden danger. The cultivation speed is too fast and I’ve forgotten that body refinement uses the energy in my own body. When the energy in my body is exhausted, it would create an extremely heavy burden on my body!”

He was already at Five Elements Realm and had a dense cultivation; however, cultivating the new Overlord Body Three Elixir Technique to refine his body and soul, the energy in his body couldn’t even last four hours!

Qin Mu immediately stopped executing Overlord Body Three Elixir Technique and let his mind clear up. His mind was working frantically and he troubled himself over how to make a medicine for his body as he sprinted towards Scholar’s Residence.

Qin Mu rushed into his own room to grab money before sprinting towards Imperial College, leaving behind the little fox and the dragon qilin bewildered.

He bought the herbs from the warehouse and didn’t have time to return to his residence thus he started refining the medicine on the way back. He executed his dazzling hand techniques and dazzled people’s eyes as he refined the medicine. Before he even reached Scholar’s Residence, he had succeeded in refining a furnace of pills.

When these spirit pills were just done, there was actually a faint Buddha voice as if there was a Buddha in each pill chanting their prayers.

The moment these spirit pills were done, Qin Mu opened his mouth to suck the pills in a series.

He catalyzed the medicinal energy as he rushed towards his courtyard and the moment he reached the door, he suddenly felt dizzy and collapsed into the courtyard.

Hu Ling’er cried out and immediately scrambled over. Qin Mu only felt at ease when he saw Hu Ling’er at his side before he fainted, ”Help me catalyze the medicinal energy…”

Before he even finished his words, he fainted.

When Qon Mu woke up groggily, he felt that the medicinal energy of the spirit pills in his stomach had already been catalyzed and was circulating a warm flow towards four limbs and hundred bones like a scalding great furnace. Only then did he let out a sigh of relief and felt the lingering fear.

The united Overlord Body Three Elixir was good but also extremely dangerous. If he didn’t take the chance when he was still conscious to refine spirit pills as a remedy, the consequences would be inconceivable and he would probably have died!

”If I can’t supplement the energy exhausted by my body when I refine my body and soul with Overlord Body Three Elixir Technique, I would probably die.”

Qin Mu opened his eyes and laid there silently. He calculated to himself, ”If I want to fix this technique, it would be very difficult. It involves me to mobilize my entire body and if I fix it, it would probably take an extremely long amount of time. In that case, I’d better not cultivate it…”

Hu Ling’er stood at the side and looked at him anxiously. The dragon qilin squatted outside the window and wanted to push his head into the window to see if his meal master was still alive, however, his head was too big and the window could only allow one of his eyes in. He couldn’t squeeze into the house at all.

Qin Mu sat up and found out that he was lying on the bed. It should be the little fox who had used her demon wind to send him to the bed. He smiled, ”There’s no need to worry, I’m already fine. When I completely catalyze these medicinal energies, my body will recover.”

Hu Ling’er let out a sigh of relief and said, ”Young master has scared me to death. In just a short time, you have become so starve and skinny. When you collapsed earlier, I was worried you couldn’t get up anymore…”

Qin Mu catalyzed the medicinal energy at ease and the medicinal energy spread out and was absorbed by his body. He won’t die for now but his body was still in a state of deficiency.

This was the inner deficiency caused by refining his body and soul. His body and soul may be stronger but there were no nutrients to replenish him. It was like a ship flying in the sky, if only a small furnace was provided as motive power for the ship, the ship would definitely fall from the sky and shatter into pieces.

That was what had just happened to him.

Refining his soul had exhausted his spirit and refining his body had exhausted the energy in his body. The spirit pills he had refined was to replenish his spirit and not allow his spirit to be completely exhausted. However, his body was still in a severe starving state.

Now that his spirit had completely recovered, his body was still terrifyingly skinny with his skin clinging onto his bone.

Qin Mu stood up and asked, ”Ling’er, is there anything to eat? I’m very hungry now.”

”Does young master want to eat the green bull?”

The huge eyeball of the dragon qilin outside the window rotated as he said in glee, ”There’s a wild bull in the back mountain, how about I catch and roast it for young master to eat?”

Once this dragon qilin was no longer hungry, he was full of evil tricks and always wanted to take revenge on the green bull.

Hu Ling’er smiled, ”Please wait a moment, young master! Big Dragon, let us get some food for young master!” After she had said it, she ran out of the house like a wisp of smoke and brought the dragon qilin out of Scholar’s Residence.”

”Sister Ling’er, where are we going to find food?” the dragon qilin asked in bewilderment.

”Do you know how to swim?”

Hu Ling’er asked, ”There are a few huge fish in Jade Dragon Lake which are several yards long. I’ve been eyeing them for quite a long time.”

The dragon qilin replied in glee, ”I’ve also eyed them for quite a long time but it wasn’t good for me to make a move when old master didn’t give the command. Don’t worry, I’m also very good at swimming. I can stay underwater for several days and not come up to breathe.”

Hu Ling’er was greatly delighted and came to Jade Dragon Lake with him. There was a Daoist opposite the lake and revealed a questioning expression when he saw them but before he could make an inquiry, he saw the dragon qilin diving into the lake.

The expression of the Daoist changed hugely and he immediately shouted, ”That lion, you can’t bathe in the lake! That fox, stop the lion!”

Hu Ling’er immediately said, ”Big Dragon, faster, faster!”
