Shen Luo showed a slight look of joy and was about to condense two more water palms to try to open the wooden box.
There was a slight clicking sound from inside the gray wooden box, and the lid opened by itself.
He looked carefully and saw a scroll of silk book inside the wooden box. The silk was soft and light, and it was covered with tiny handwriting. Apart from that, there was nothing else.
"Silk book? Could it be that it records some secret techniques?" Shen Luo guessed in his mind and took the silk book and unfolded it.
There were only four big characters written at the beginning of the silk book: Secret Book of Body Refining.
"It is indeed a secret book!" he said secretly and looked down.
This secret book is so confidential that its contents must be very important.
After just a few glances, Shen Luo's expression immediately changed, showing surprise, but this surprise did not last long. His expression became strange again, and finally turned into extreme disappointment and frustration, and even some resentment.
It took him a full cup of tea to recover, but he was still a little stunned when looking at the silk book in his hand.
What was recorded in the Body Refining Secret Book was truly shocking. It detailed some of the secret techniques and skills passed down within the Body Refining Altar, including the secret methods that Xie Yuxin was looking for, such as reshaping the Dantian, rebuilding the meridians, and repairing injuries to the soul.
These secret techniques are extremely exquisite. Shen Luo masters many top techniques such as the Nameless Technique, the Huangting Sutra, the Pure Yang Sword Classic, etc. He even cultivated to the Mahayana stage in his dream. He has a deep understanding of the Taoism of cultivation. After reading these contents, he still feels eye-opening.
This secret book of body refining contains extremely profound explanations about the body, meridians, and soul, and many of the fantastic ideas are unheard of. It is especially ingenious in tempering the body and repairing the soul.
What Shen Luo didn't know was that this Body Refining Secret Book was the most profound secret book in the Body Refining Altar. Hu Yong's mission this time to release the ghost of the Jinghe Dragon King involved the sphere of influence of the Tang Dynasty government and the underworld, which was extremely dangerous.
In order to encourage Hu Yong, the head temple of the Body Refining Altar gave him the copy of the Body Refining Secret Book, but also placed an extremely powerful restriction on it, which would be lifted only after the task was accomplished.
Moreover, since there are restrictions in place, there is no need to worry about anyone getting it and spying on the secrets of the Body Refining Altar.
Who would have thought that Hu Yong's mission failed and the wooden box fell into the hands of Shen Luo, who also possessed the rare treasure of Huangquan Bamboo, which could just break the restriction on the box.
Everything can only be said to be a coincidence.
Although these skills and secret techniques were wonderful, Shen Luo did not care much about them. However, he was really shocked to find that the secret book of body refining recorded a secret technique for opening up a magical vein.
Shen Luo had heard from Xie Yuxin before that there was a way to open up the Dharma veins in the Body Refining Altar.
However, he had always believed that it was just nonsense boasting made by the Body Refining Altar in order to attract believers. After all, Dharma lineage was a major foundation of a cultivator and represented the talent of a cultivator. It was something that was destined at birth and could not be changed by human effort.
However, this secret book of body refining clearly states that this secret technique can be used to transform ordinary meridians in the body into Dharma meridians.
This secret technique is called Xuanyin Kaimai Jue. As the name suggests, it uses the Yin evil energy to stimulate the meridians in the body and the acupoints on them, and then through a series of extremely complex evolutions and refinements, the meridians will mutate and transform into Dharma meridians.
These opened up Dharma veins are slightly inferior to the normally born Dharma veins. They are not as wide as the natural ones, and their flexibility is also inferior. The speed of absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth during cultivation is also slower.
