Pingtu looked at Li Yan.
"What's the matter? Boy, my divine consciousness doesn't have much magical power. At most, I can perform some tricks within this Five Elements Dao Li Pearl.
If you want me to help you deal with those demon cultivators outside the Five Elements Dao Li Pearl, it's okay to kill a few third-level ones, but killing a few fourth-level ones would be difficult for me. You have to wait until my real body wakes up.
But even if they kill those below the fourth level, as long as the younger ones are touched, the older ones will follow their spiritual sense and come here. Although they can't find this place at all, they will definitely be on guard, and they may cause trouble.
This is not what I want to see now, because there is still a fifth-level monster here. If it were in the past, I could easily kill it with just one finger, but now even if my real body awakens, it can only be about the same as it, and a fight will only result in losses for both sides. "
Pingtu looked at Li Yan with some confusion. This wisp of divine consciousness was emitted after his realm fell, and it was at most equivalent to the late Jindan stage. He thought that Li Yan had taken a fancy to some inner elixir of the demon cultivator in the secret realm and wanted him to take it to strengthen his physique.
Since ancient times, the most common way for those who practice body-refining techniques to increase their physical strength is to hunt monsters and obtain their inner elixir and flesh and blood. In particular, after the inner elixir has been slightly refined, swallowing it can greatly enhance the physical fitness.
After all, the bodies of monsters are the darlings of the world. Most of them are gifted with extraordinary talents, and even their flesh and blood are excellent materials for body refining.
After listening to Pingtu's words, Li Yan was stunned. This was the first time he really came into contact with the art of body refining, and he really didn't know some of the training methods.
Looking at Li Yan's puzzled eyes, Pingtu knew that he was wrong and couldn't help asking.
"Isn't it? What's the matter? But we have already agreed that I don't have any more pills to give you."
He looked at Li Yan cautiously, but said in his heart.
"The Guishui clan has never been easy to deal with. Their skills are very feminine, and it seems that everyone in their minds is calculating people. Could it be that they have taken a fancy to something from me? This cannot be given to me. Some things should be left for Pei Buchong."
Li Yan blinked when he heard that.
"Senior, don't you have any pills that can quickly restore your strength?"
After being reminded by the other party, he began to feel eager to do something.
"If you say no, then no. I've already given you everything I could last time. Do you have anything else to say? If not, I have to leave now."
As he spoke, the huge face shook his head twice.
After hearing this, Li Yan still felt a little disappointed, but this matter was not the main issue at the moment, so he quickly said.
"Senior, I really have something to ask, I wonder if you can help me..."
Then, Li Yan narrated to him the problems he encountered in his cultivation.
Pingtu listened, and although Li Yan had not finished speaking, he already understood with his cultivation and experience. After Li Yan finished speaking, he slowly spoke.
"I understand what you mean. According to what you said, your guess is correct. There are two types of body refining techniques:
One is to spread the magic power all over the body, and then use hard external objects to continuously hammer and stimulate the body, and then soak it in secret potions until the body becomes stronger and stronger;
The method you are practicing is obviously a very high-level alchemy technique. It uses a rare method from ancient times. It uses the form to carry the energy, and after pulling the tendons and veins, it imitates the state of ancient monsters.
When the Qi and blood in your body flow in this state, it will gradually change the direction of your bones, muscles, and tendons, until it finally completely forms the body structure of the ancient monster that you are imitating.
This kind of cultivation method was rare even in ancient times. After all, it would not be very meaningful for ordinary monsters to imitate it, and it was extremely difficult to understand and approach monsters with strong defenses.
What's more, nowadays, perhaps only the True Immortal Realm has ancient monsters.
According to what you said, it turned out to be a strange species like Qiongqi. I have been born for millions of years, but I have only seen the appearance of this ferocious beast in some pictures. I don’t know where you got it. You are really blessed.
Since you are unable to practice those postures now, your Qi and blood cannot circulate smoothly, so you cannot practice successfully. Normally speaking, it only means that you have no fate with this ancient ferocious beast and cannot match its form on your own.
You are coming to me now, I think I want to force you into a certain training posture, and then you can practice the skills, right?"
When Pingtu said this, a strange light flashed in his eyes. When he heard the name of Qiongqi, he couldn't help but be surprised, even with his concentration after living for millions of years.
Li Yan saw that he had only given a rough description, and Pingtu then stated his intentions. Moreover, from his words, Li Yan was also sure that the direction he was thinking was correct, and he could not help but nod repeatedly.
He was not afraid that Pingtu would know the method of practicing Qiongqi Purgatory Technique, because he would only show Pingtu the first picture of the practice, but the mantra was not printed on it. Pingtu would not be able to know the mantra, and the picture would be useless.
Li Yan considered this matter again and again before deciding to do this. With Pingtu's cultivation and loyalty to the Five Immortal Sect, he has kept his promise for millions of years.
After confirming Li Yan's identity, he passed the extremely precious "Earth Spot" to Li Yan. It can be seen that the importance of the Five Immortals Sect to him has been deeply engraved in his life.
Seeing Li Yan nodded in agreement, Pingtu hesitated for a moment and then spoke.
"Let me see the training diagram first."
Li Yan did not hesitate and took out a jade slip. He threw it at the huge face that appeared on Pingtu.
The jade was heading straight for the huge yellow face, but the moment it approached, it seemed to be pulled by something and floated in front of the face. Looking at the floating jade slip, Pingtu felt a little depressed. It was obvious that Li Yan had already prepared for it.
“Since ancient times, there has never been a good person in Guishui Xianmen. He took out the jade slip of the technique so quickly, which shows that he had planned it long ago and asked me to help him.
Alas, I still miss Pei Bu Chong, how simple and persistent he is. He is worthy of being chosen by Master Qianzhong. He is worthy of continuing the profound virtues of my earth-related lineage..."
Pingtu sighed, and while he was complaining in his heart, a very thin yellow light flashed on his forehead and shot into the jade slip.
Just a moment, the moment Pingtu raised his head and looked at Li Yan, the jade slip shot back again. Li Yan grabbed it and put it back into the "earth spot". He did not destroy the jade slip immediately.
"Senior, have you seen this picture clearly?"
Li Yan asked with some confusion. "Well, this picture is a bit strange. Although it is a rubbing, there is an inexplicable peeling force in it. Okay, you can start practicing. I will just watch and I will take action when it is time."
Pingtu looked at Li Yan calmly.
After hearing this, Li Yan couldn't help but shudder. Before he even started practicing, he felt the pain that went straight to his soul, as if it had already arrived.
Li Yan gritted his teeth, stood still, recalled the formulas and diagrams he had just read before coming here, and slowly began to assume that strange posture.
As the posture gradually took shape, a series of muffled groans continued to be heard, and in just a moment, beads of sweat began to appear on Li Yan's forehead and body.
Looking at Li Yan's slowly taking shape, and recalling the training diagram he had just seen, Pingtu's eyes flashed with yellow light, and he spoke in a low voice.
"It is really a good technique. Based on the outline of this picture, we can roughly judge that this technique should be at least a mid-level heavenly body-building technique. Unfortunately, it is only two levels away from being a saint-level technique.
But even so, even if it is released into the fairy world, it will cause a bloody fight.
I remembered that in the last secret realm, there were two girls in their Wuliang Sect who had extremely strong bodies. Maybe they gained this by practicing this method? I never thought that the Wuliang Sect actually had such a heaven-defying treasure.
I don't know how they managed to preserve it. Is it possible that no one in the Immortal Spirit World knows about it? It seems that Master Qianzhong didn't discover this technique at the beginning. It's really strange."
These thoughts only flashed through Pingtu's mind, and then he no longer thought about them.
Since this technique has been in the mortal world for so long and has not been discovered by the fairy world, it seems that it has been passed down in a very secretive way. The technique belongs to Li Yan's current master, so it is really difficult for him to snatch it away.
Moreover, even if he snatched it, he would not be able to practice with it as a spirit of the weapon. At most, he could regard it as a treasure of the Five Immortal Sect. But now that Li Yan has already practiced it, of course it is his own thing.
Thinking of this, Pingtu showed a sinister smile on his face.
"Li Yan has it. As long as it's not Guishui Xianmen's own technique, it must be from Wuxianmen. Then, can't Pei Buchong..."
Looking at Li Yan's already distorted face, Pingtu's expression gradually became solemn, and he spoke.
"This technique is extremely precious. If my guess is correct, it should be a mid-level heavenly technique. From now on, not only the formula, but even the practice diagram should never be easily shown to others, otherwise you may be killed."
Li Yan's head was buzzing at this moment. He didn't hear what Pingtu said about the intermediate heavenly level skills, but he still remembered not to show it to others easily. Even Pingtu was so solemn, so he was extra careful.
"Then you must be ready."
After Pingtu finished saying this, he looked at Li Yan, who was trembling all over and shaking continuously, and shouted in a deep voice.
Just as the words fell, a gentle force emerged, fixing Li Yan firmly in place, and then another force began to compress and twist Li Yan's body.
Bursts of "cracking" sounds of bones breaking came from Li Yan's body, and Li Yan let out a series of heavy groans.
The blue veins on his forehead seemed to burst immediately and detach from the body, bulging up into segments of green earthworms. Then, blood began to seep out of the corners of Li Yan's mouth.
Looking at Li Yan's painful and terrifying expression, Pingtu's expression became more and more solemn. He couldn't help but secretly praise Li Yan's perseverance. Those who achieve great things must be determined.
Of course, this matter is not as simple as Li Yan thought. The process is extremely dangerous. Every moment he is on the verge of life and death with broken bones and tendons and burst internal organs.
Even an old monster in the Nascent Soul stage might not dare to do this.
The reason why Pingtu dared to agree was that his cultivation at that time had truly reached the late stage of the Refining Void Realm, and his use of magic power was beyond the imagination of cultivators in the mortal world. Even if he used his current spiritual power of the late Golden Core Realm to do this, he would still have a certain degree of confidence.
After all, Li Yan is only in the Qi Condensation Stage, and his current control does not require a high level of magic power. The main thing is to control the magic power to the minute level, and to have an understanding of cultivation and absolute control.
This is also the reason why even if there are Nascent Soul level people in Zhao Min's family, they cannot forcibly practice the "Qiongqi Purgatory Technique" and can only rely on their own cause and effect opportunities.
On the one hand, Pingtu adjusted Li Yan's training posture, and on the other hand, he carefully used his magic power to repair the broken flesh and torn tendons that had occurred due to excessive pressure.
This process was done very slowly. He had to keep Li Yan's magic power running so that he would not be affected by his own repair, and at the same time, he had to ensure that Li Yan's body recovered from the constant tearing.
Li Yan felt that his body was in extreme pain, and waves of fainting kept coming. However, he managed to maintain a trace of clarity and continuously practiced the mantra of Qiongqi Purgatory, allowing his magic power to flow bit by bit.
He could even hear his muscles being torn apart bit by bit like cloth, making a "sizzling" sound.
It was his own flesh being torn apart bit by bit, and it was extremely horrifying to him. The waves of severe pain that pierced his brain made his body tremble like a sieve, and he couldn't help shaking...
Li Yan was in a daze and felt like he had been rolled in a frying pan. His body was covered with blisters and his skin was about to be peeled off piece by piece in the bloody water.
Li Yan gradually lost consciousness. What he didn't know was that his body was shaking subconsciously. If it weren't for Pingtu's control, his body would not have been able to escape at all and he would have fallen to the ground long ago.
At this moment, his face was covered with dense blood beads and some light gray substances.
In the dark, Li Yan had only a trace of consciousness still barely reciting the mantra, but this trace of consciousness began to gradually dissipate. When this trace of consciousness dissipated completely, he fainted.
At that time, the mantra of the technique would stop working, and this practice would be a failure. What awaits him is either to start the journey to hell all over again, or to give up simply.
Just when he was about to faint, Pingtu, who had been watching him, had a flash of yellow light in his eyes. He no longer held back, shouted loudly, and suddenly pressed the spiritual light in his hand, and suddenly bound Li Yan's body, which had been twisted to an impossible angle.
There was a "crack" sound, and several pieces of white bones came out from under Li Yan's ribs. A large amount of blood spurted out from the hole in the ribs in an instant, and Li Yan opened his mouth and spat out a large mouthful of blood.
The big hand that appeared from Pingtu tapped Li Yan's waist and abdomen with several fingers, and the blood that was like a fountain stopped flowing out immediately. However, the broken ribs and the white bone streaks were still glaring, with traces of blood on them.
Pingtu's loud shout was like a bolt from the blue in Li Yan's mind, making him wake up instantly.
