Body Refinement

Body Refinement is an 'archetype' of Heaven's Path. It is similar to Spiritual Cultivation in many ways, but focuses on tempering the physical body rather than controlling and refining qi.
== Overview ==
There is much less information available about the specifics of body refinement, in large part because none of the PoV characters use it on its own. It is known that those who use body cultivation alone have a reputation for being somewhat unintelligent combat addictsChapter 25 (old), Ruo Han PoV, but also that they are known to be durable and strong enough that annoying them at close proximity is a bad ideaChapter 88 (old), Cang Di PoV.
Body refiners still use their meridians, form a dantian, etc – draws in qi to temper, strengthen and enhance the physical form rather than to actually manipulate the qi in its own right. Body refinement is often used in concert with either spiritual or dharma cultivation.Chapter 47 (old), Arai PoV

To the common folk of Eastern Azure Great World, body refinement emerged in an ancient era on the Imperial and Argent Gate continents. In the modern era, it is one of the most populous methods of cultivation alongside Spiritual Cultivation.
