Chapter 35: Body Refinement
Early the next morning, Zhou Luo went to find Lin Fu.
He informed him that he needed to go outside to buy some things.
After asking the standard questions, Lin Fu eventually gave him the pass token.
With the token in hand, Zhou Luo walked out of the Lin Family complex alone.
Standing at the Lin Family gate, Zhou Luo looked out at the bustling street before him and stepped out.
This was his first time walking on Maple Leaf City’s streets.
Compared to Panshi City, the crowds here were noticeably larger and livelier.
It was a pity he only had half a day, so he couldn’t properly explore the place.
Zhou Luo walked briskly to an herb vendor.
This was also the Lin Family’s property.
So when he presented the token, the shopkeeper immediately welcomed him inside respectfully.
Although the first stage of the Bear Body Refinement Technique required many natural treasures, they were common and inexpensive.
After purchasing several herbs, Zhou Luo headed towards other stores.
The sole advantage of shopping outside the family compound was escaping the family’s eyes, keeping what he bought unknown to them.
Therefore, after finishing the herb purchases, he changed his outfit and began buying other items.
He kept going until almost noon, finally gathering all the necessary natural treasures.
Additionally, he specifically visited a Spirit Beast shop.
Though called a Spirit Beast spot, it only sold very low-level pets, not even Spirit Beasts with awakened intelligence.
Fortunately, they sold food specifically for Spirit Beasts.
After spending twenty spiritual stones, he bought a large bag of regular Spirit Beast food.
Once this was done, he secretly practiced calling forth the Snow Mountain Spirit Cat.
Accompanied by a flash of spiritual light, a small white cat quietly landed in his palm.
Its hair was pristine white like a snowball, its eyes deep blue, sparkling like gemstones.
Slender whiskers quivered slightly, hinting at cleverness and liveliness.
Meow—
The Snow Mountain Spirit Cat nuzzled against his palm. It was incredibly small, barely the size of his whole hand.
It was hard to imagine this was a Spirit Beast capable of reaching the Third Level.
Zhou Luo placed it on his shoulder. The little creature remained lazily curled up, tiny claws hooked onto his robe, appearing very docile.
"From now on, you are my pet," Zhou Luo said, waving some food in front of it.
Meow—
The Snow Mountain Spirit Cat gave a small shake of its head, as if agreeing, before opening its mouth to swallow the food.
With this little one, Zhou Luo headed back towards the family compound.
After a short while, he returned to the clan.
However, the appearance of the Snow Mountain Spirit Cat did not arouse suspicion in others.
Everyone looked at this kitten and thought it was just a pet.
After all, not everyone could tell at a glance that it was a Spirit Beast; this required mastery of beast-taming skills.
This reminded Zhou Luo.
If he could master beast-taming skills, he might be able to make the Snow Mountain Spirit Cat grow faster.
Back in Zhou Garden, Lin Yi Yi was playing with the twin babies.
When she saw Zhou Luo returning and bringing a little white cat, her beautiful eyes lit up, she quickly walked over, and reached out to grab the Snow Mountain Spirit Cat.
Perhaps because it smelled Zhou Luo’s scent on her, the kitten did not refuse and allowed Lin Yi Yi to cautiously hold it in her palm.
“What an adorable kitten, husband, did you buy it?” Lin Yi Yi said in surprise.
Zhou Luo nodded: “Yes, when little Ping An and the others grow up, they will have a pet to play with.”
“Husband, you are so thoughtful, but can this little one be left to me to take care of?” Lin Yi Yi gently stroked the little head of the Snow Mountain Spirit Cat and pleaded.
“Yes, you can.” Zhou Luo happened to have no time to take care of it temporarily.
“Great.”
Lin Yi Yi was overjoyed and went to play with the children, holding the Snow Mountain Spirit Cat.
After resolving the matter of the Snow Mountain Spirit Cat, it was time for body refinement.
Zhou Luo specially cleared out a single room, anyway, there were enough rooms in Zhou Garden.
Then, under the doubtful gazes of the women, he brought in a huge copper cauldron and set up firewood beneath it.
“Are you going to do body refinement?”
At the door, Lin Qing Han, holding little Chang An, saw through Zhou Luo’s intention.
Zhou Luo did not hide it: “I want to try it.”
“Do you need my help?”
This time, Lin Qing Han did not advise against it, but instead asked.
“No need.” Zhou Luo shook his head.
Then he started lighting the firewood. When the water in the copper cauldron began to boil, he added the medicinal herbs he had bought earlier.
Besides the medicinal herbs, there were various other things, such as a one-meter-long green snake, a fist-sized spider, and so on.
Lin Qing Han watched as the clear water instantly turned black like ink, furrowing her eyebrows, thinking whether this was body refinement or poison refinement.
Zhou Luo ignored her and took out another jade bottle, pouring the true blood inside into it.
This true blood was the blood of some magical beast, and it was also an item needed for body refinement.
After everything was done, Zhou Luo looked at Lin Qing Han at the door: “Please try not to let anyone disturb me.”
“I know.” Lin Qing Han turned around and left, closing the door behind her.
Next, Zhou Luo waited for the firewood to burn out and the water temperature to gradually decrease.
He took off all his clothes and entered the copper cauldron naked.
The moment his skin touched the medicinal liquid, he involuntarily took a deep breath.
The potency of this medicinal treasure was extremely fierce; he felt as if his skin was about to split open.
At the same time, his body became extremely hot, and it even emitted faint red glows.
Therefore, Zhou Luo hurriedly sat cross-legged and started operating the Bear Body Refinement Technique.
In an instant, he was covered in sweat, enduring intense pain, while using the technique to channel the power within his body.
After the technique was activated, a refreshing sensation surged through him, greatly alleviating his pain.
Zhou Luo stabilized his mind and began his first body refinement.
Inside his body, his meridians, bones, flesh, and blood were slowly changing under the dual stimulation of the medicinal treasure and the technique.
This process lasted for a full hour.
The water temperature cooled, and the medicinal effects were completely absorbed.
Zhou Luo opened his eyes, feeling as though his body had changed, but he couldn’t quite explain the change.
However, he knew that this was just the beginning.
Next, he started taking medicinal baths every five days.
During this process, he could clearly feel his skin becoming tighter and his body filled with strength.
This continued for a full month.
He was still at the first stage of body refinement, but he felt as if his level was about to loosen again.
So he temporarily stopped body refinement and chose to enter the spiritual vein for cultivation.
This cultivation lasted for over a month.
He finally advanced into the mid-stage of Qi Refinement level two.
During this time, the Snow Mountain Spirit Cat gradually grew up, from the size of a palm at the beginning to a body length of about twenty centimeters now.
It must be said that Lin Yi Yi was truly good to this Spirit Beast.
She basically carried it with her all the time, as if it were her own child.
On the third day after Zhou Luo returned, Lin Zhi Shou had him go to Shouchun Garden.
