After transmigrating, I cultivated immortality by smelling the scent.

Chapter 101 Vajra Tempering Technique

While searching for a cure for the Shadowless Palm injury in the library, Ye Xiaobai made another significant discovery.

That was the source of the fragrance that Ye Xiaobai had previously smelled on Liu Rumei—it was the fragrance of Osmanthus fragrans.

The 'Radiant Purple Gold' Osmanthus is an extremely precious variety of Osmanthus. It takes more than 200 years for it to grow from a light yellow color to a golden color, and more than 500 years for it to transform from a golden Osmanthus into the 'Radiant Purple Gold' Osmanthus.

Moreover, it is said that this kind of osmanthus can be used to brew a purple-gold osmanthus wine that is comparable to a sixth-grade elixir.

Of course, it can also be used to refine incense pills, which, when worn, can refresh the mind and enhance spiritual awareness. No wonder Ye Xiaobai felt instantly invigorated after just a whiff of it. Liu Rumei actually possesses such a treasure; the Myriad Pill Workshop is indeed incredibly powerful.

Putting the fragrance aside for now, Ye Xiaobai's main focus is on attracting lightning into his body.

To draw lightning into the body, the physical body must endure considerable torment from the power of lightning. This provides a good opportunity to temper and cultivate the body, thus gaining an extra means of survival.

Ye Xiaobai doesn't have any body-refining techniques, but fortunately, as a third-grade alchemist, he has accumulated quite a few sect contribution points, so it's time to go to the sect to exchange them for some good stuff.

Ye Xiaobai quickly arrived at the sect's cultivation technique pavilion, and after searching for a while, he finally spent eight thousand contribution points.

I switched to a high-level Yellow Rank body-refining technique—the Vajra Body Tempering Technique.

There aren't many body-refining techniques in the sect to begin with, and Ye Xiaobai is already content to have found a high-level Yellow Rank one. It's not too late to cultivate something more powerful later.

After changing his cultivation method, Ye Xiaobai quickly returned to his cave and began studying body-refining techniques.

After reading the instructions, I learned that a body-refining elixir was also needed. This elixir, called the Copper Tendon Iron Bone Pill, could be taken during body training to relieve pain and strengthen the muscles and bones in the body.

This allows for faster completion of body-strengthening training.

The Copper Tendon Iron Bone Pill is a third-tier pill, and the materials are not difficult to obtain. Ye Xiaobai quickly used his contribution points in the sect to exchange for some of the necessary materials.

With the experience of refining pills before, the refining of this Copper Tendon Iron Bone Pill went very smoothly.

Next, he would simultaneously draw lightning into his body and temper it. Ye Xiaobai's previous idea for drawing lightning into his body involved having the Purple Flame Thunder Leopard unleash its lightning power to bombard his body. This way, he wouldn't need to go out and search for places filled with lightning.

Ye Xiaobai then released the Purple Flame Thunder Leopard from the spirit beast pouch. The Purple Flame Thunder Leopard was overjoyed and ran around wildly, as it was uncomfortable to stay in the spirit beast pouch. It was a rare opportunity to get some fresh air, so it immediately began to roam freely.

The Purple Flame Thunder Leopard had also suffered considerable injuries in the previous battle, but it had almost fully recovered in the past few days. Ye Xiaobai couldn't help but marvel at the incredible regenerative abilities of demonic beasts.

After the Purple Flame Thunder Leopard had run for a while and the time was about right, Ye Xiaobai immediately signaled it to unleash its lightning power to bombard him.

The Purple Flame Thunder Leopard didn't hold back either, launching a large blue lightning ball the size of a washbasin directly at Ye Xiaobai.

Ye Xiaobai initially felt that the lightning ball wasn't very big and that he should be able to withstand the power of the lightning. However, the moment the lightning ball touched Ye Xiaobai's skin, he was instantly shocked and almost fainted.

Without hesitation, he swallowed a Copper Tendon Iron Bone Pill, then closed his eyes, quietly feeling the power of the pill dissolving within his body. As the medicinal effects gradually permeated his limbs and bones, he began to use his unique cultivation technique to guide this powerful energy to every part of his body.

He could feel subtle changes occurring in his muscles, bones, and meridians, as if being reshaped by a mysterious force. Every breath, every movement carried a weighty quality, making him clearly aware that his strength was constantly improving.

Time passed slowly, and he was immersed in this wondrous state, forgetting everything around him. Unbeknownst to him, his body had undergone a transformation, becoming stronger and more resilient.

As the medicinal effects were gradually refined, the lightning power within his body almost disappeared, and the green spiritual energy that had previously existed within him also weakened somewhat. Ye Xiaobai was overjoyed, realizing that this method was feasible.

However, this time the lightning power was a bit too strong, and Ye Xiaobai then smelled the aroma of roasted meat emanating from his body, and it was even burnt roasted meat.

Ye Xiaobai then instructed the Purple Flame Thunder Leopard to control the magnitude of the lightning power. Next, Ye Xiaobai continued to draw lightning into his body to temper his physical body.

Ye Xiaobai took a deep breath, calmed his mind, and then unhesitatingly guided the power of lightning into his body again. The dazzling bolts of lightning danced like silver snakes, constantly striking him, but he gritted his teeth and endured it.

As time passed, more and more lightning was drawn into his body, and his body began to crackle and pop, as if it were about to explode. However, he did not stop what he was doing, and continued to bring more lightning under his control.

Each bolt of lightning was like a sharp knife, ravaging and piercing through his flesh, bringing endless pain. But he knew that only through such trials could he make his body stronger. Therefore, no matter how difficult the situation, he would never give up.

Thus, after ten days of being tempered by the power of lightning, Ye Xiaobai's body refinement successfully advanced to the Bronze Skin realm.

The stages of body refinement are roughly divided as follows: First is the Copper Skin Stage, which mainly trains the skin of the body, making it as tough as copper, capable of withstanding a certain degree of attack. It can barely withstand attacks from ordinary iron.

Next is the Iron Bone Realm, which focuses on strengthening bones and muscles, making them as hard as iron, and granting greater strength and endurance. At this stage, one can withstand damage from ordinary magical artifacts.

Above that is the Vajra Realm, a level requiring the tempering of the entire body's bones and muscles to their extreme, resulting in an indestructible body with astonishing defensive power and resilience. At this stage, the body's strength is almost on par with that of a magical artifact; perhaps only a magical treasure can break through the body's defenses.

Above the Vajra Realm lies an even more profound realm—the Undying Realm. Those who enter this realm have reached the known limits of physical strength. If one can reach the Undying Realm, even ordinary magical treasures will be unable to cause any harm.

However, reaching this level is by no means easy; it requires countless hardships and trials, something Ye Xiaobai cannot currently imagine. After all, Ye Xiaobai's body-refining techniques can only barely reach the Vajra Realm.

For those who advance to higher realms, they can only seek other body-refining techniques to further enhance their physical strength.

Another piece of good news is that Ye Xiaobai has already refined most of the green spiritual energy in his body, and the effects of the Shadowless Palm will be completely eliminated in a few days.

Thinking of this, Ye Xiaobai instantly realized that he had been struck by the Shadowless Palm, but now he had actually cultivated to the Copper Skin Realm because of it. It could be considered a blessing in disguise.
