C2 Half Danger Half Fortune!

Cultivators' Cultivation Levels include the Qi Refining Stage, Foundation Stage, Thought Dividing Stage, Profound Transforming Stage, and Golden Core Stage.

The Qi Refining Stage is further divided into ten levels, starting from Level One and progressing to Level Ten.

Above the Qi Refining Stage, the Foundation Stage, Thought Dividing Stage, and others are categorized from Level One to Level Five.

Soong Yuan, however, possessed no cultivation level at all, not even reaching Level One of the Qi Refining Stage.

His unique condition was known as a "Spirit Losing Body."

This rare physique presented a peculiar challenge. Typically, cultivators refine external spiritual energy into vital energy within their dantian, which then empowers them to wield techniques and control magical artifacts.

Yet, when Soong Yuan practiced cultivation, he could absorb spiritual energy, convert it into vital energy, and store it within his dantian. But within three days, the hard-earned vital energy would uncontrollably dissipate, leaking out and vanishing into thin air. It was bizarre.

It was as though he had let out a fart, releasing all the Vital Spirit. Soong Yuan was at a loss.

He had sought advice from numerous renowned healers and visited many wise individuals, spending a fortune in Spirit Stones, only to find that his condition was incurable unless he experienced a rebirth akin to a phoenix rising from the ashes, complete with a Physique Reconstruction.

So, how could he undergo such a rebirth and reconstruct his physique?

The only known method suitable for Soong Yuan involved Yin Yang Body Infusion, dissolving his original form, Magic Energy Reformation, and the reshaping of his spirit body.

This involved waiting for the Yin Yang Day, entering the Boiling Spring, and practicing the Heaven Changing Divine Spell.

"It's very dangerous," his mother, Jia Chunmei, expressed with concern. "The Boiling Spring lies between an ice spring and a fire spring, with a temperature that causes the water to simmer gently. Crucially, the spring's location must form a natural Magic Array. Only then, on the Yin Yang Day, can it receive the abundant Yin Yang Spiritual Energy from the heavens, allowing for the Body Infusion, dissolution, reformation, and reconstruction. However, there have been many instances where cultivators could not endure the overwhelming spiritual pressure of the Boiling Spring during the reconstruction process and perished explosively."

Soong Yuvfu, his father, shook his head emphatically. "No, no, it's far too risky. Soong Yuan, you're aware that the former sect master of the Golden Beast Sect—the most prominent sect in our Appropriate Prosperity City—entered the Boiling Spring on a Yin Yang Day twenty years ago, attempting to forge an unprecedented 'Beast Soul Body.' Tragically, due to some mysterious mutation, he turned into a half-human, half-beast creature. His spiritual wisdom diminished, and his animalistic ferocity took over. He ended up savagely killing and devouring his two sons and daughter, and there were casualties among the three elders and numerous disciples. Ultimately, the Golden Beast Sect's leadership had no choice but to band together and put an end to their deranged sect master."

"People have calculated that over the past few decades, approximately forty to fifty percent of cultivators who entered the Boiling Spring on Yin Yang Day in hopes of Physique Reconstruction exploded and perished. Another thirty to forty percent ended up as failed transformations, turning into monstrous beings. Alas, only around ten to twenty percent of cultivators successfully achieved Physique Reconstruction."

"In fact, in recent years, the practice of Physique Reconstruction using the Yin Yang Day Boiling Spring has become so perilous that few dare to attempt it. Instead, many Artifact Refining Masters and Pill Refining Masters have started to explore alternative methods, using the special Yin Yang Spirit Spring liquid—created by the unique convergence of the Yin Yang Heavenly Phenomenon and Magic Array—to craft exceptional magical artifacts and pills."

"It's simply too perilous, my son. Please, don't go."

"If you insist on going, it's practically a death sentence."

Undeterred, Soong Yuan declared firmly, "I have to go."

"The Yin Yang Day is an extraordinary celestial event when the sun and moon shine together, and both the Great Sun Yang Qi and the cold moon Yin Qi reach their zenith. The Boiling Spring on the ground fortuitously acts as a natural Magic Array, capable of channeling the Yin Yang Spiritual Energy from the heavens, infusing it within. It's only by harnessing this energy that a cultivator can achieve the desired effect of Physique Reconstruction."

"This phenomenon occurs once every five years. I'm 24 now; I was 19 the last time Yin Yang Day occurred. By the next one, I'll be 29. Cultivators, regardless of gender, must be between the ages of 20 and 25 to undergo Physique Reconstruction using the Yin Yang Day Boiling Spring. If they haven't reached or have exceeded this age range, they're not suited for this method of reconstruction. Hence, this upcoming Yin Yang Day is my final opportunity."

For many years, we've consulted numerous esteemed physicians, and they all agree that my Spirit Losing Body, once successfully reconstructed, can be transformed into a Spirit Transforming Body. The Spirit Transforming Body signifies a vast potential for Myriad Arts Cultivating and is considered one of the top physiques among cultivators. However, this is my last chance. Failure means complete destruction, but success would be an immense achievement."

"I want to give it a try."

Silence.

No further words were spoken, yet Soong Yuvfu and Jia Chunmei understood their son all too well.

A Spirit Losing Body meant an inability to cultivate, rendering one almost disabled.

The world is divided into the Five Great Domains: the Ocean Domain to the east, the Desert Domain to the west, the Cold Domain to the north, the Fiery Domain to the south, and the vast Vast Plain Domain at the center.

Each domain is further divided into numerous realms, each with many cities. Thus, the world's structure is summarized as follows: Five Great Domains, seven thousand realms, millions of cities, and billions of cultivators.

Appropriate Prosperity City, located in the Central Earth Realm of the Vast Plain Domain, is a metropolis teeming with over a million cultivators.

In this vast world, cultivation is a universal pursuit.

Typically, youngsters begin their journey in cultivation at the age of ten, starting at Level One of the Qi Refining Stage. With average aptitude and no setbacks, they can ascend one level every two years. By the age of twenty-four, like Soong Yuan, most would reach Level Seven of the Qi Refining Stage.

By contrast, Soong Yuan has been unable to cultivate at all, not even achieving the cultivation level of a ten-year-old. Even children aged eleven or twelve possess greater cultivation than Soong Yuan at twenty-four. This reality is nothing short of a humiliation for him.

The three potent Innate Divine Thoughts are Soong Yuan's final safeguard, but he is not content to rely solely on them.

He has always yearned to truly become powerful.

Clearly, the first step to gaining strength is Physique Reconstruction.

Only by completely altering the Spirit Losing Body can Soong Yuan unlock the possibility of becoming powerful.

Having discovered the Boiling Spring and with the Yin Yang Day fast approaching, Soong Yuan, at the age of 24, knew this was his final opportunity. Soong Yuvfu and Jia Chunmei were acutely aware of their son's burning desire.

They sat in silence, exchanging glances that conveyed volumes. Without a word, they reached a mutual understanding: they would support their son.

"There's an equal measure of danger and opportunity," Soong Yuvfu stated gravely. "Soong Yuan, since you're determined, we won't stand in your way. But Physique Reconstruction is incredibly complex and challenging. It's not enough to simply know when the Yin Yang Day is or the location of the Boiling Spring. Are you truly ready?"

"I've already placed an order for the Universe Compass with Dung Xin from Dong Family Village; I'll pick it up tomorrow. The Warm Spirit Jade string is in my possession, with a total of 18 jade crystals, more than enough. Later today, I'll visit Wonderful Heart Street again to finalize the Heaven Changing Divine Spell that Bai Su is customizing for me," Soong Yuan replied with composure. "I've made all the necessary preparations."

"Well done, son," Jia Chunmei said with a smile, giving Soong Yuan a thumbs-up. "You've always been meticulous with your preparations, never acting impulsively. You're far more capable than your old man."

She cast a playful look at Soong Yuvfu.

Unperturbed, Soong Yuvfu chuckled in agreement, "Absolutely, I've always known our son outshines me. Son, I have no doubt you'll succeed in reconstructing your physique. When you do, I'll happily hand over the leadership of Shennong Hall to you. I'll be following your lead from then on. Just make sure to look out for me."

"Oh, the little ambition you have," Jia Chunmei remarked with a hint of disdain, watching Soong Yuvfu's jovial antics before rising to leave.

As his mother departed, Soong Yuan wrapped an arm around his father, laughing heartily. "Don't worry about it. Once I elevate Shennong Hall to the premier sect of Appropriate Prosperity City, I'll find you a second wife. And if that's not enough for you, even a third wife is on the table."

"Fine, fine."

"What nonsense."

A thunderous roar echoed as Jia Chunmei, who seemed to vanish and reappear like a specter, stormed back to the doorway. Seething with anger, she exclaimed, "A fine pair, father and son. Hmph, both deserve a good thrashing."

With a flick of her wrist, she conjured a tri-colored treasure ruler and brandished it... Soong Yuan and Soong Yuvfu scurried away, clutching their heads.
