3 Dragon Star Pagoda Technique

Dragon Star Pagoda technique, the name flashed in his mind.

Jiang Chen was puzzled seeing this it is not that Pagoda techniques are uncommon, but this is the first time for him to see a Mortal ranked Pagoda technique, Pagoda techniques were high ranked techniques all the data previously indicated that the lowest of Pagoda technique was low ranked heaven technique. Now he saw with his own eyes that his technique is a declared as a mortal ranked one and adding to it there was a dragon in it.

Either the history is false or test was inadequate, it was a good thing.

The Dragon Star Pagoda technique has a total of 18 stages in cultivation. For now, Jiang Chen can only access the first stage. This stage emphasized on creating a foundation for the next stages.

Jiang Chen slowly recited the chants and tried to absorb the heavenly energy, but he could nowhere sense the energy and continued the procedure repeatedly as time passed by it took him almost the whole night to sense the faint heaven energy in his surroundings. He has succeeded in sensing the heavenly energy in the surroundings he tried to absorb it, but even after repeated attempts, he was unable to attract the energy in his body.

It was already sunrise when he opened his eyes from meditation, he felt very tired as he raised his body from lotus position and dragged his body to bath and relaxed in hot steam of water.

Jiang Chen then again continued to train in his dragon star pagoda technique until he heard footsteps coming towards him.

Jiang Ming "Good you can already sense Heavenly energy."

Jiang Chen smiled happily as he got appreciation from his aunt.

Jiang Ming "Now you can sense the heavenly energy you have taken the first step into the path of cultivation and you should not rush now. You should stabilize yourself in Body tempering stage."

Jiang Ming "Body tempering stage is not counted as cultivation in our continent, but it is very very important for a true cultivator. You should make a steady foundation at this very stage. Remember, everything for the future depends on the very foundation you lay on the body tempering stage."

Jiang Chen "Aunt Ming I understand and keep things in my mind."

Jiang Ming "Good. Then there are some things that I have prepared for you. Take a look at them."

Jiang Ming placed a few books on the table.

Jiang Ming "Study them carefully. Then next time we meet, I will be taking you somewhere else from there I will start your training."

Jiang Chen silently nodded, hearing this.

Jiang Ming "Chen'er these books may seem normal, but they have many things to say to you select your path carefully."

After saying this Jiang Ming left.

Jiang Chen slowly opened one book after another. These are just basic books they do not even count as a common grade.

Introduction to Swords, Introduction to Sabers, Introduction to Archery all the books are the introduction to many mortal skills.

There were a total of 64 books on different types of weapons and skills and how different they were from each other their pros cons and history. It was just introduced to all of them. Jiang Chen studied everything carefully not missing the detail and memorizing everything written in these books.

He knows when the next time he meets his aunt he will be choosing the path he wants to tread.

He then started meditating and practiced the Dragon Star Pagoda Technique and did not attempt to absorb any heavenly energy and was simply absorbing the energy in his surroundings not doing anything. He continued doing it for a few more days he didn't find anything strange. As this continued for another month he finally noticed a strand of energy it has neither shape nor forms it just existed there moving along with the flow of energy. He didn't know how long he absorbed, but he was completely engrossed in that particular strand of energy. Unknowingly after a period of time, it got absorbed into his body unknowingly. That was the first stand of energy entering his body from then on he could sense several strands of energy and was able to absorb one strand at a time he didn't know how much that single strand is capable of or its effect to his body but he continued doing so and by the time of noon he collected 50 such strands on his body.

All the absorbed energy was stored in his dantian. The strands in his body are easily accessible to him, he was able to control them and their movements.

He then slowly started revolving those 50 strands around his body not trying to strengthen his body as per the technique. He just let it revolve all around his body in repetitive cycles. He repeated it for hundreds of times and finally lost the count of how many times he repeated this step.

Unknowingly almost a month has passed and Jiang Chen has made no progress in his cultivation as he intentionally stagnated it on the very step. By now he had repeated the cycle thousands of times a day and was slowly getting the knack of rotating heavenly energy inside his body.

On the first day it took him almost an hour to completely make a revolution inside his body but by now he can easily subconsciously make a complete rotation at a time to take 30 breathes but his cultivation is still stagnated at the stage of introduction.

He had heard the news about how others have already stepped into the first stage of Body Tempering.

But with repeated cycles of energy rotation, he was sure of one thing that his meridians have been strengthened compared to before and they have become wide and flow of energy is very smooth.

After that Jiang Chen concentrated on absorbing the strands of energy from the surroundings and slowly he was able to absorb more strands in a limited time. In his dantian, there were thousands of heavenly energy.

Jiang Chen continued to store the heavenly energy inside his dantian until his dantian could take no more and he absorbed that in his dantian there were 108000 strands of energy.

Jiang Chen finally decided to use it to strengthen his body. He followed the instructions in the Dragon Star Pagoda technique and directed his heavenly energy to the spinal cord to strengthen it first. Immediately after the energy contacted his spine, Jiang Chen felt like he was struck with a Thundershock and collapsed in pain unable to bear it. He didn't know how long he passed out by the time he woke up, he felt that his dantian is half empty as half the strand of energy was absorbed by his Spinal cord. Jiang Chen felt shiver remembering his experiences, but then decided to continue on it again and this time he was prepared for the pain and was observing the changes happening and was satisfied with it. It took him one week to strengthen his spinal cord completely and then slowly continues to other bones of his body one by one. Almost after 6 months he completely baptized his bones with the heavenly energy. Now his bones can easily absorb the heavenly energy flowing through his meridians subconsciously without effort.

Now he is technically considered as First stage body refiner. His base body is strengthened by heavenly energy and any of his casual punches can reach 10000 pounds.

Just as he was prepared to go to test his newfound strength he saw Aunt Ming coming.

Aunt Ming carefully absorbed him and then smilingly said "First stage body refiner not bad. I feel your heavenly energy is more vigorous than normal first stage body refiners good."

Aunt Ming then shows her palm towards Jiang Chen "Throw a normal punch at me."

Jiang Chen stood silently for a moment, then decided to throw one.

He threw one at her palm standing in the same position. There was a loud sound at the contact but Aunt Ming stood there without much reaction.

Aunt Ming "Continue to throw a few more throw as many as you can in 30 breaths time."

Jiang Chen understood that his aunt is just testing him and nothing will happen to her. It would be ridiculous if a first stage body refiner can injure a Martial soldier. Then he threw punches in quick succession. He didn't try intentionally to throw heavy punches and just threw random one with as much energy as he can gather in a short time.

After throwing them all he silently absorbed his hand, which has become completely red throwing repeated punches and blood leaking out from them.

Jiang Ming didn't mind the blood coming out " All the punches are between 5000-8000 throwing average over 6000. Not bad throw a heavy punch use maximum energy you can gather." she was shocked by this, but did not show it on her face. This was an exceptionally good performance.

Jiang Chen once again came into position and threw the heaviest one he can. Still, there was no reaction in Aunt Ming's face, he doubted whether it would affect her in any way at all.

Aunt Ming "11000 close to 12000 good. Now we can proceed for your training."

Aunt Ming "Go prepare yourself bring a few extra sets of clothes we are going out of town. I will go inform brother and make preparation, we will leave after lunch."

Jiang Chen wanted to ask something, but he was cut off by his aunt. He knew his aunt is not going to answer him so he decided to wait for some other time and went inside making preparations for the trip.

Inside the store, Jiang Ming told her brother about the trip and told him to make a few preparations.

Jiang Yue "How is he?"

Jiang Ming "Better than expected any average punch he throws is over 7000pounds and his heavy punch is equal to 12000 pounds almost equal to that of a 3rd stage body refiner."

Jiang Ming "Any punch he throws can equal normal first stage body refiners heaviest punch."

Jiang Yue was shocked hearing this his eyes almost popped out. But Jiang Ming looked indifferent.

Jiang Yue "You don't seem surprised."

Jiang Ming "How can I be surprised knowing his background. They were true monsters and him being a monster is nothing different."

Jiang Yue "What are you planning for him."

Jiang Ming "I am just his caretaker what right do I have to take any decision for him. I will just let him choose his path."

Jiang Yue nodded his head and took the list in his hands that Jiang Ming asked him to prepare for the trip. He was puzzled looking at the list but didn't question her.

Then after lunch, both Aunt Ming and Jiang Chen left the River Spring city towards the River Moon forest in a horse car filled with goods.
