Don't Mess with That Dragon-Chapter 576 - 026

The Primordial Beginning Chapter can be said to be Austin’s greatest achievement after years of gathering the rules of martial arts in this world.

Perhaps,

in the eyes of others, this cultivation technique is just an insignificant method that barely allows one to maintain cultivation.

However, the Great Dao is extremely simple,

unless one reaches a certain realm, it’s impossible to comprehend the principle within it.

Primordial Beginning, myriad paths converge, is the concept of this cultivation technique.

In this world, martial arts techniques can be cultivated simultaneously.

However, this multiplicity is not without limits.

Once too many cultivation techniques are practiced, the types of spiritual power generated within will conflict, leading to disastrous consequences.

Therefore, a typical cultivator either practices one or two harmonious cultivation techniques that don’t conflict,

or they must discard and retrain to avoid hidden dangers.

But the Primordial Beginning Chapter is different.

This martial arts technique created by Austin can be regarded as nothingness.

Precisely because it is nothingness, it can continuously accommodate any technique in the world, integrating it into itself, absorbing the spiritual power created by other techniques as nourishment, and using the various divine techniques of others.

Indeed, this is a technique that can evolve!

Right now, this technique doesn’t show any immediate benefits, but as one continues to cultivate it and absorbs more diverse cultivation techniques, the later stages become increasingly terrifying.

"I understand, Master."

Lin Han smiled wryly but could only resign himself to it.

He had spent over a month with this mysterious mentor and had come to understand.

Once he made up his mind, he would never change it.

To acquire martial techniques and stronger cultivation techniques, everything relied on himself!

Well,

while the Primordial Beginning Chapter might not be that powerful, at least it allowed him to introduce spiritual power into his body, temper his physique, and formally enter the realm of a Body Refining Martial Artist.

At the martial arts school, Lin Han hadn’t learned any basic techniques.

Even basic techniques required entering the inner school to qualify for learning.

Because of this, during those years of sneaking learning, Lin Han had never become an official Body Refining Martial Artist.

Since he didn’t understand any cultivation technique at all.

However, the Primordial Beginning Chapter taught by his mysterious mentor became his ticket into the cultivation realm.

"Alright, you’ve been cultivating here for over a month. Although you’re still at the bottom of the cultivation realm, you’re qualified to venture out; it’s time to take a trip to the mountains."

"I’ve calculated; this small town has an opportunity for you."

"Go ahead, you can’t become stronger by shutting yourself indoors and cultivating!"

Coming to this border town wasn’t an accident.

Austin used Plum Blossom Divination to calculate and concluded that there was an opportunity for Lin Han here.

To acquire the first suitable cultivation technique to integrate, he still needs to venture here.

"Yes, Master!"

Lin Han clenched his fist, filled with confidence.

Basic boxing and kicking perfection, Shrimp Fist minor achievement, Primordial Beginning Chapter, Body Refining second realm...

Although still at the bottom,

at least he had become a formal cultivator.

Besides, money was running low.

Thinking of this, Lin Han’s expression turned bitter.

Two months ago, he had fought off two intruders who intended to kill him in his home and retrieved ten taels of broken silver from them.

For the past few days, he had been relying on those ten taels to get by.

Meals, rent, and buying disguises all required money.

The ten taels of silver had already been mostly spent.

If he didn’t go outside, he feared he would deplete his funds.

...

Time flew by swiftly.

That day, Lin Han disguised himself and left the city, entering the nearby mountains.

He didn’t enter the Demon Beast Mountains but instead ventured into the large mountains where nearby villagers lived.

In these mountains, due to the thin spiritual qi, true demon beasts rarely appeared, but occasionally, certain hollows where spiritual qi gathered would yield some spirit medicine.

Moreover, despite the thin spiritual qi, the mountain’s jackals, wolves, tigers, and leopards were still formidable.

Unless one had practiced basic techniques and become a formal Body Refining Martial Artist, even experienced hunters would face grave dangers in the mountains.

Choosing such a relatively safe mountain range as his first adventure was not a wrong decision by Lin Han.

Walking and adventuring through the mountains,

in half a month’s time, he covered an unknown distance, fortunately obtaining a stalk of spirit medicine with a hundred years of medicinal potency, as well as seven kinds of herbs containing multiple dozen years of spiritual qi.

So-called hundred-year medicinal potency spirit medicine doesn’t mean it’s grown for a hundred years,

but that its spiritual and medicinal power is equivalent to a hundred-year-old mortal ginseng.

Just that single hundred-year medicinal potency spirit medicine could fetch over a thousand taels of silver in the market.

It was truly an overnight fortune.

However, Lin Han naturally wouldn’t sell all of it. Under Austin’s divine fragment guidance, he used that hundred-year medicinal potency spirit medicine as the main ingredient, supplemented by other herbs collected over the half-month in the mountain ravines, and the heart blood of the tiger and leopard he killed, to concoct a Body Refining Ointment that was highly effective for enhancing the Body Refining Realm.

By relying on this Body Refining Ointment, Lin Han was able to elevate his realm to the third level within a short period.

Unfortunately, perhaps due to the realm elevation or developing resistance, after successfully breaking through, the ointment’s enhancement effect on him became less evident.

Nevertheless, Lin Han did not find it regrettable.

Since it can’t be used, it can be taken to the market for trading, exchanging for other resources.

In the mountains,

enduring the elements, while also guarding against attacks from mountain beasts,

Lin Han felt that this life was far better than life in the martial arts school.

At least, using his abilities, killing wild beasts, he could manage to eat meat regularly.

The abundant meat diet also made his body stronger, his height increased, muscles began to appear, his skin took on a bronze hue, his long hair lay draped over his shoulders, coupled with clothes torn through traversing mountains and rivers, he looked just like a wild wanderer.

If he were to go outside now,

unless someone had truly met Lin Han, identifying him from a portrait would be practically impossible.

After breaking through to the third level of Body Refining, Lin Han’s strength greatly improved, and his speed in traveling and searching began to increase.

In the mountains and forests, Austin gave him a lot of guidance.

At least he wouldn’t face embarrassing situations where a precious spirit medicine appeared before him, and he couldn’t recognize it.

As such, Lin Han’s harvests were much more abundant than others.

Thus, Lin Han continued traversing the mountains, honing his skills, searching for spirit materials and medicines, hunting tigers and leopards, using them to refine various medicines to increase his strength.

After another half month,

he broke through to the fourth stage of Body Refining.

On that day, Lin Han encountered his greatest crisis since entering the mountains.
