In this world, people live long lives; even the most ordinary mortals can reach the age of 300, warriors can live up to 500 years, and cultivators can live even longer, with lifespans starting from a thousand years. Because there are very few mortals, and the gap in strength between warriors and cultivators is vast, people usually refer to both warriors and mortals collectively as ordinary people. At this moment, Mo Wen did not have a clear concept of strength; to him, a warrior was already quite powerful.
"Warriors are strong too. Why are they classified as ordinary people?"
"That's because, compared to cultivators, warriors can only be considered relatively strong mortals. The path of cultivation is like sifting through sand; at every stage, only one in ten survives."
"Old Lu, tell me about becoming a warrior. Even if the odds are one in a hundred, I will be among those who survive."
"Alright, it's good to have confidence. Becoming a warrior is quite simple..." Upon hearing this, Mo Wen's expression darkened. This unreliable old man had just said that only one in ten survives, and now he was saying it was simple.
"A warrior undergoes three refinements: refining the body, refining the energy, and refining the spirit—this is known as the Martial Artist's Three Refinements. Only after completing all three can one be considered a true warrior. Let’s start with refining the body."
"The first step for a warrior is to strengthen the body; this is called Refining Body. Refining Body is divided into three stages: Expand Acupoints and Meridians, Strong Tendons and Healthy Bones, and Refining Body and Transforming Skin. Of course, there isn't always a clear distinction; often these three stages occur simultaneously."
"If there are three stages, then there should be an order to them and they should be approached sequentially, right?" Mo Wen listened intently; he felt that if they were done simultaneously, there would be no need to divide them into three stages.
"I'm glad you understand," Old Man replied.
Expand Acupoints and Meridians prepares for Strong Tendons and Healthy Bones, which in turn prepares for Refining Body and Transforming Skin. The entire process works from the inside out. The Refining Body stage is crucial as it directly affects the future path; it’s like building a house—if a grand palace is built on soft ground, the consequences are predictable. In Refining Body, Expand Acupoints and Meridians serves as the foundation. The human body has seven hundred twenty acupoints, each of which is vital. While some acupoints in the body are already open, the vast majority remain closed. Expanding acupoints means unlocking these dormant points; the more acupoints that are opened, the more solid the foundation becomes. Expanding meridians involves widening the channels that connect these acupoints so that more energy can flow through them.
Strong Tendons and Healthy Bones is more straightforward: tendons are flexible while bones are hard. Strong tendons must achieve both flexibility and firmness; healthy bones must attain hardness while also being resilient. Refining Body and Transforming Skin involves many internal organs; if these organs are weak, they may shatter with a single shock. If internal organs are damaged, survival becomes impossible, and recovery from such injuries is extremely difficult—this is why Internal Injury is hard to treat. The main focus of Refining Body is to strengthen these internal organs before moving on to skin transformation. The skin serves as the body's first line of defense; transforming skin means rejuvenating it to achieve both resilience and firmness while enhancing recovery capabilities. These are just foundational steps; aside from unlocking acupoints—which can be done all at once—everything else involves reaching certain stages that will receive corresponding enhancements in each subsequent Realm. Many people fail at this step and find themselves either having to pay high costs for repairs later or stagnating in their progress.
"For years, Old Man has been searching for methods to unlock all acupoints until he discovered a Kung Fu manual and a prescription in an ancient ruin..."
