When Lufan deduced all of this, Spirit suddenly felt a wave of relief.
Just now, his state was quite miraculous. Inspired by the thoughts of the talisman cultivator, he felt a surge of inspiration. Problems that had long troubled him and left him perplexed suddenly sparked numerous ideas. Following this state, he surprisingly resolved issues that had been bothering him for a long time.
From the perspective of cultivators, Lufan's earlier situation was akin to a sudden awakening, breaking through the confusion in his heart; it was essentially a form of enlightenment.
This situation may sound mysterious, but it is not difficult to understand. It is simply a matter of someone being deeply attached to an unresolved issue in their heart. They begin to think through various approaches to solve it. When the accumulation in their mind reaches a sufficient level, an opportunity for inspiration arises, leading them to naturally comprehend a certain principle and resolve the problem.
There are many such examples on Earth. One classic example is Newton, who was inspired by an apple to realize the existence of gravity.
In fact, there are numerous instances in our daily lives; one could say that almost everyone has experienced moments of enlightenment. For instance, while studying, one might struggle with a difficult problem without finding a solution. However, after setting it aside, they suddenly gain insight from another question and have an epiphany. This is indeed a form of enlightenment.
Enlightenment is not magical; when examined closely, it is merely a result of deep accumulation leading to sudden release. Everything has its cause and effect; only when your accumulation reaches a certain level can you trigger an epiphany.
However, enlightenment can vary in magnitude. Achieving Buddhahood instantly is one form, while resolving difficult problems is another; fundamentally, there is no distinction between them.
If your accumulation is profound, the principles you realize will naturally be deep. If your accumulation is shallow, at most you might solve a mathematical problem.
Those who inexplicably grasp profound truths about the universe and thus experience a rapid rise in their realm and cultivation level—capable of defeating everything in their path—are not experiencing enlightenment; they are simply using hacks.
Lufan's ability to determine his martial arts path at once can be considered a form of enlightenment, but it can also be seen as the result of years of contemplation.
Now that he has established his path, Lufan no longer hesitates. He may encounter various problems in the future, but this first step must ultimately be taken.
Speaking of which, for Lufan at this moment, having his body’s meridians fully open is his greatest advantage. This allows him to practice any internal skill with ease because the issues others face while trying to break through do not exist for him.
Currently, what most limits his progress in Inner Strength should be the strength of his body. The limitations of his physical form will impose a cap on how much Inner Strength he can contain.
So he began to prepare for his cultivation. First, he needed to familiarize himself with the Nine Yang Divine Skill and the Divine Illumination Sutra once again. Although he had studied them before, it was always better to be cautious when it came to cultivation.
A night passed, and sunlight streamed in from outside. Lufan had already memorized the operation routes of the two internal skills, and he started his formal cultivation.
He picked up the Liuli Jade Bottle and poured out a drop of Primordial Liquid. Without hesitation, Lufan tilted his head back and swallowed it.
After swallowing the Primordial Liquid, nothing unusual happened; it still appeared as a small, round drop without any change.
Lufan directed it to his Dantian and began to activate the Northern Darkness Divine Skill and Mind Technique, using his mind to continuously refine and transform this drop of Primordial Liquid.
As he activated the Beiming Mind Technique, something marvelous occurred. The previously unchanged Primordial Liquid began to rapidly vaporize, transforming into strands of pure natural essence, which were then continuously converted into pure internal energy, accumulating in his Dantian's energy sea.
Despite being just a tiny drop, the amount of natural essence contained within the Primordial Liquid was immense. Lufan estimated that this single drop could allow him to reach the internal energy limit that could be endured at the Skin Refinement stage.
This truly was an unparalleled aid for cultivation. The three mysterious individuals had surprisingly produced a thousand drops at once; he couldn't help but wonder how precious the Blood Demon Pill that Li Hao used for exchange was.
Unable to suppress his admiration, Lufan began to concentrate his mind and continued refining. Once he had refined enough internal energy, he temporarily stopped refining the Primordial Liquid and started using the Divine Illumination Sutra to make his internal energy even purer.
The meridian routes of the Divine Illumination Sutra were quite different from those of the Northern Darkness Divine Skill, and its complexity was no less than that of the former. It truly deserved its status as a Divine Skill of the same level.
Indeed, the Divine Illumination Sutra was miraculous. After its refinement, this internal energy was different from before; while the previous internal energy was balanced and gentle, like a calm sea that remained undisturbed and humble.
The refined internal energy not only became purer but also carried a vibrant vitality. As it flowed through him, Lufan felt a wave of relaxation within his body, and he became invigorated.
Finally, after all his internal energy had been refined once, Lufan activated the Nine Yang Divine Skill and Mind Technique to transform it into Nine Yang True Qi.
As he operated the Nine Yang Divine Skill and Mind Technique, Lufan's aura changed once again. Gone was the previous vitality; instead, he took on a solemn demeanor, radiating a masculine and grand presence.
The human body is indeed marvelous, filled with countless wonders. Different internal skills and Mind Techniques allow internal energy to flow through meridians in various ways, producing all sorts of miraculous effects—truly extraordinary.
It is said that the human body is a small universe, containing secrets that are no less than those of the external world. If someone could truly comprehend the mysteries of the human body, their cultivation would likely reach an unimaginable level, capable of shaking the heavens and earth.
Not to mention anything else, the existence of meridians and acupoints is itself an incredible phenomenon. In Lufan's understanding, their mode of existence is quite marvelous, almost straddling the line between reality and illusion, existing in a state of both presence and absence.
They cannot be seen with the naked eye, yet they genuinely exist within the body in a spiritual sense. They are both illusory and real, truly enigmatic and profound.
Perhaps it is precisely this mysterious characteristic of the meridians and acupoints that allows for the evolution of inner strength, a miraculous phenomenon.
Lufan operated the Nine Yang Divine Skill, various insights rising in his heart, deepening his understanding of cultivation.
After nine cycles of the Mind Technique, the inner strength refined from the Primordial Liquid was completely transformed into Nine Yang Inner Strength. This inner strength was filled with a masculine, grand, and righteous aura, akin to warm sunlight—firm yet not overbearing.
Lufan immersed his mind in this inner strength, carefully contemplating and experiencing its various wonders.
After some reflection, Lufan seemed to gain something. He no longer hesitated and began to fully refine that drop of Primordial Liquid.
After undergoing nine rounds of refinement again, that drop of Primordial Liquid was finally completely refined by Lufan, transforming entirely into Nine Yang Inner Strength. His inner strength surged throughout his body, reaching the limit of what could be contained at the Refining Skin stage.
At the same time, a wisp of blue smoke rose from him. It turned out that during the process of cultivating the Nine Yang Divine Skill, he had unknowingly refined away all impurities in his muscles through the operation of his inner strength.
Lufan was only one step away from reaching the Refining Flesh stage.
