Master of Strange Dao
Chapter 867 - 229: Preparing Materials, Stone's Wedding (8k)
The cultivator agreed so readily that Yu Ziqing felt a little embarrassed.
A child's fetus hair, if it fell into the hands of the Evil Dao, could be used against the child.
Yu Ziqing reached out a hand, gently touched the child's head, and twenty strands of fetal hair fell into his hand.
Yu Ziqing thought for a moment and gave the child a piece of Emperor's Liquid.
Let it slowly dissolve and nourish the body, so that the child might grow smarter and healthier in the future.
He really went to great lengths for these few strands of fetal hair.
However, to obtain them perfectly, Yu Ziqing had to personally come and give some benefits to the other party.
"Have her wear this protective talisman, especially when she's sleeping, it's best not to take it off."
Yu Ziqing looked at the sleeping baby and smiled.
Yu Ziqing carefully held the fetal hair suspended in his palm, took out a pure jade box, placed the hair in it to nurture, and directly sealed it.
He never touched these strands of fetal hair with his hands throughout the process.
Yu Ziqing roughly understood why Yang set a time limit.
A newborn's un-dried fetal hair contained an extremely peculiar aura, extremely pure.
Having obtained the item, Yu Ziqing left.
Some days passed for this family, and they found that the child was very well-behaved, sleeping especially peacefully, waking every two hours to feed, and sleeping again when full.
He grew quickly, was healthy, and had no illnesses or troubles, especially slept soundly while sleeping.
Now they dared not remove that protective talisman.
The protective talisman was much more valuable than they thought, unlike a jade tablet that was only for communication purposes.
The protective talisman had the legitimate function of guardianship.
With this talisman, no Yin Devil could plant a seed in the baby.
At birth, there were the king of the hungry ghosts, Emperor Daidu, Earth Deity Origin, and the Earth Devil Venerate personally guarding, making him destined not to be an ordinary person.
Yu Ziqing, however, didn't bother with anything else.
As soon as he got it in hand, he hurried towards Jinlan Mountain to deliver it to Yang as soon as possible.
Yang received the item, opened it for a look, and nodded.
"Absolutely the best, not a single wisp of aura dissipated, and it's willingly given by others, very good."
Yang hurried off to the laboratory again, ignoring Yu Ziqing.
Yu Ziqing continued to study how to assemble a body refinement Dharma method.
He wanted to try it himself, but he really didn't like being beaten, so he decided against it.
Several days later, Stone was viciously beaten by the kitchen lady, leaving bumps all over his head, and Yu Ziqing figured he had picked the right person.
This stubborn kid might truly have some major issues, not just due to cultivation.
He took out the artifact refining Dharma method and revised it.
In the end, he removed only the artifact refining part, and cheerfully called Stone over.
"Come, Stone, I have a new Dharma method that suits you best, give it a try.
I think it's the most suitable for you; getting beaten will make you stronger.
In the end, you'll cultivate to the point where your body is as tough as a magical treasure, clashing with treasures without injury."
Yu Ziqing handed Stone a new jade scroll.
The Dharma method was called the Body Forging Technique, based on the artifact refining Dharma method, aiming to refine the body like a magical treasure.
The cultivation process required being beaten and violently struck as an aid.
Stone looked thrilled, liking it more the more he read.
"Uncle, why doesn't this method have any true intent?"
"Do you think anyone has cultivated like this before? No masters have arisen from this, so where would true intent classics come from, but it's the most suitable for you, isn't it?"
"I guess you're right."
Stone never considered that the Dharma method might have issues, nor did he think that because he was such a nuisance, Yu Ziqing feared that one day he'd accidentally kill him, so he used him as a guinea pig.
At least this troublesome kid wouldn't keep provoking and drawing hostility every day.
After all, wanting to get beaten was easy; Jinlan Mountain lacked nothing but this, but provoking hostility wasn't an option.
Yu Ziqing watched Stone go to cultivate, helping him three times a day.
In just a week, when Stone's Qi and blood circulation started, his skin had a faint metallic luster.
The entry was smoother than expected; after all, the Dharma method wasn't technically demanding, mastering the core parts was sufficient.
The body's strength advanced rapidly, and just half a month later, Stone hesitantly approached Yu Ziqing.
"Uncle, I feel there's something wrong with my cultivation."
"What's wrong? Haven't you been fine these days? You no longer need to provoke fights to get beaten, just getting beaten is enough."
"No, it's just that accidentally, I ate a small piece of Jinlan Ore."
"Hmm?"
"I felt a bit hungry, and then looking at that small piece of Jinlan Ore, I just wanted to eat it, and accidentally swallowed it."
"Hmm?"
"It was really just a small piece... well, actually only about as large as a fist, but after eating it, I didn't feel hungry anymore and got stronger, am I having some kind of problem?"
"No, that's very good, always good." Yu Ziqing smiled, his tone shifting: "I just remembered something, I need to find you a wife first to ensure that you won't be too strong in the future to father children, it's your dad's last wish."
"Why didn't I know about this?"
"You don't need to know, I also want to know if you can have children now, after all, you've been at Jinlan Mountain for over ten years."
Stone looked at Yu Ziqing's smile and felt a chill down his spine, knowing that if he dared to refuse, there wouldn't be any good consequences.
Most importantly, he felt there was indeed something wrong with himself.
Yet progress was now swift, faster than before, and especially stable.
Yu Ziqing carefully checked Stone's body, and indeed, there were no issues; it was very good, with a stable foundation and solid physical essence.
