"I've given you many Body Refinement Dharma Methods before. See which one you like," the cultivation of "Qi-Blood" is a solid foundation, and you can always practice it, though it's a bit limited in variety."
"I would suggest you practice the Golden Water Yin Escape, as it fits well with this environment, and once mastered, you become very tough. But ultimately, it's up to your preference."
Yang had many suggestions, but having stayed in the village for so long, he became more and more cautious about comments on Body Refinement.
Initially, someone managed to open 720 orifices without any incident, then the village chief's advancement speed was terrifying, awakening the Divine Skills of Ten Directions, all of which could be instantly suppressed.
He didn't understand.
Not being good at Body Refinement and not much knowledgeable about it, he no longer dared to give orders, thinking it might be better for Yu Ziqing to trust his feelings.
Yu Ziqing was also seriously considering which Dharma Method to choose.
His previous practice of "Qi-Blood" was the very foundation of basics, just enlarging the Qi-Blood for an all-around enhancement. This method's advantage is that it definitely won't cause problems, with no weaknesses, but the downside, too, lacks any standout strength.
For the first three tiers of foundation cultivation, this method was most appropriate, not aiming for great strength, just a solid, flawless foundation.
Like his Refining God, the first three tiers of foundation didn't even involve a secret technique, just equally advancing through tier three to lay down a solid foundation without drawbacks.
But from the Fourth Tier onwards, it was no longer suitable.
From this point on, one should seek individuality and strengths based on a solid foundation.
There are hexagonal warriors, but basically, they excel in no particular area; those who max out all six aspects are one in a billion, a rare favored child of heaven.
Yu Ziqing, of course, wanted to be a hexagonal warrior, but he knew setting a goal wasn't something achievable overnight.
Being careful in choosing a cultivation technique now is critical as he moves toward that goal.
Recalling the "Golden Water Yin Escape," according to Yu Ziqing's understanding, this cultivation technique scores very highly in all aspects.
It increases Qi-Blood by eight points, defense by seven points, reduces damage by 9.8 points, raises strength by eight points, general attack by eight points, direct assault burst by seven points, but backstabbing scores 9.5 points.
While "Qi-Blood," aside from increasing Qi-Blood by more than nine points, scores eight points in all other aspects.
The pros and cons of advanced Dharma Methods are very clear, and the advantages are almost reaching the ceiling.
If using the special environment here for cultivation, one can certainly reach the limit of this cultivation technique.
Yang recommended this not without reason.
Left to choose on his own, he would choose this too.
"Rescuing people is not urgent nor can it be hurried; if truly suppressed in Silver Lake, without adopting a Dharma Method, we can't even approach Silver Lake. I am a demon, I might not die, but you, while not dying, would definitely suffer consequences."
"You should have said so earlier..."
Yu Ziqing no longer hesitated and immediately began practicing the Golden Water Yin Escape.
He had studied these methods for a long time; he just hadn't practiced them yet.
Just as he began his cultivation transfer, the Qi-Blood vortex in the Blood Sea suddenly accelerated, and a force in the air was absorbed into him, constantly merging into his skin.
The coldness carried sharpness, while the heaviness brought lightness and smoothness.
As the Qi and Blood Circulation proceeded, his skin also gained a layer of coolness.
A moment later, Yu Ziqing opened his eyes, and Yang clicked his tongue audibly nearby.
"Having taken the time to recuperate at home, and with you having opened 720 orifices, it's a loss not to practice Body Refinement. Does it feel like the cultivation is going smoothly?"
"Indeed, it feels quite smooth."
"We are now within the bounds of the Silver Lake Forbidden Land. Here, the Xin Metal Qi is mild and clear, the Gui Water Qi is calm and flowing ceaselessly.
It is one of the rarest places, most suitable for practicing Golden Water Yin Escape. With your foundations, robust root base, everything naturally flows very smoothly.
First master the basics, no need for entering the organs, start with the skin, then to the flesh, and reaching the bones is sufficient."
"At this stage, even if you jumped into Silver Lake, you won't die for a while."
Yu Ziqing did not understand but faithfully continued his practice.
His skin, having absorbed the power of the fusion of Xin Metal Qi and Gui Water Qi, was in a strange state of both softness and hardness. Yu Ziqing could feel for himself that his defense had greatly increased and he understood clearly about the damage reduction.
Several days later, with a solid foundation, the switch in cultivation went smoothly; the Qi-Blood vortex within the Blood Sea turned shimmering silver, and even the Qi-Blood power in dozens of orifices had turned silver.
"Are you ready? I'm going to start inducing the Heavenly Tribulation. Do as much as you can handle. It's best to endure as long as possible, as such opportunities will be hard to come by in the future."
Yang, leading Yu Ziqing, continued to venture deeper, but this time, without Feng Buju clearing the path, more and more demons were encountered.
With numerous demons relentlessly pursuing them from behind, Yang ignored them and ran wildly for several two-hour periods, crossing a mountain ridge to suddenly see a blinding light ahead, the bright glare painfully stinging Yu Ziqing's eyes.
After adjusting for a moment, he saw that a few miles ahead there was an immensely large silver lake.
The lake's surface was as calm as a mirror, reflecting all the light and heat, having scorched all vegetation in front of the slope by the lake.
