In the open space on the back mountain of Xuanjian Peak, a bonfire was crackling. In front of the bonfire, there were strings of golden barbecued meat, and a woman in white was wolfing down the barbecue.
Looking at Liu Fei who devoured the food in whirlwind, Yang Qi was speechless. He had originally planned to barbecue for Liu Fei at his own residence, but Liu Fei insisted on coming to the back mountain, saying that barbecue could only be eaten in the wild to be authentic.
Helplessly, Yang Qi had to accompany Liu Fei to the back mountain. Usually, there were no practitioners coming to the back mountain of Xuanjian Peak, so it was empty and quiet.
"Senior Sister, don't just focus on eating." Yang Qi looked at Liu Fei and said with a wry smile.
At least half an hour had passed since the barbecue began, but during this long period of time, Liu Fei had never mentioned anything about cultivation.
"Woo... why are you in such a hurry..." Liu Fei swallowed the skewer of barbecue in his hand and continued, "You must know that on the road of cultivation, haste makes waste!"
The corner of Yang Qi's mouth twitched. It was obvious that you just wanted to eat more barbecue. Of the nearly 100 kilograms of monster meat, 60 to 70 percent had gone into her stomach, and she could actually continue to eat.
Liu Fei ate a few more skewers of barbecue before slowing down. She looked at Yang Qi and asked, "Tell me first, what's so special about the body-refining technique you're practicing?"
Generally, the skills cannot be passed on to outsiders, but the insights gained by the practitioners themselves can be used for communication.
"The technique I practice cannot be aided by external forces, nor can it be practiced using Yuanli. Instead, it is based on the practitioner himself." Yang Qi thought about it carefully before speaking.
"Oh~"
Hearing this, Liu Fei's eyes flashed with surprise. It was not surprising that he could not rely on external forces. But it was a bit strange that he could not rely on Yuanli to practice. After all, whether it was a body-refining practitioner or an ordinary practitioner, they all practiced Yuanli.
"It's quite strange that you can't use your energy to practice. This is the first time I've heard of this kind of skill." Liu Fei frowned.
Liu Fei had made great achievements in the body-refining school and had a deep understanding of the practice techniques of the school, but this was the first time she had heard of the body-refining technique mentioned by Yang Qi.
"This kind of martial arts is very slow to practice, right?" Liu Fei looked at Yang Qi.
Yang Qi nodded slightly. The body-refining technique left by the Great Emperor Wu Shi was indeed very slow to practice. If this body-refining technique was not related to whether he could return to Earth as a Martial Master, he probably would not have spent a lot of time practicing it.
"The stronger the body, the faster the cultivation speed." Yang Qi said.
Liu Fei nodded slightly and smiled, "It's difficult to strengthen your body without external forces. Even if there are some spiritual medicines that can directly strengthen your body, I'm afraid the effects you can absorb are very limited."
Spiritual medicines that can help the body-refining flow, if used properly, can not only strengthen the body, but also assist the practice of body-refining exercises, and strengthen the body again under the body-refining exercises. However, Yang Qi can only use the instinctive strengthening of spiritual medicines, and the utilization rate of spiritual medicines is too low.
“There are quite a few elixirs that can directly strengthen the body, but your utilization rate is so low that it’s not worth it.” Liu Fei looked at Yang Qi and said in a deep voice.
Yang Qi bought the magical medicine for ten thousand crystals, but in fact, he could only utilize the medicinal effect of one or two thousand crystals, and the rest of the medicinal power was wasted.
"There is no other way. Apart from using spiritual medicine to strengthen the body, I really can't think of any other way to strengthen the body without relying on external forces." Yang Qi smiled bitterly. He was helpless about this, but he had to use this method if he wanted to practice the body refining technique to the extreme.
"In fact, without relying on spiritual medicine, there are many ways for practitioners to strengthen their bodies." Liu Fei said with a smile.
Hearing this, Yang Qi's eyes lit up and he became very excited.
"The simplest and most common one is the power of blood. Once the power of blood is awakened, the body will naturally become stronger." Liu Fei looked at Yang Qi.
The power of blood
A gleam of light flashed in Yang Qi's eyes. If Liu Fei hadn't mentioned it, he would have almost forgotten that when he was in the cultivation world on Earth, the one with the strongest physical body was not him, but the practitioners of the Long family. It was because they had dragon blood in their bodies, and once awakened, their physical bodies would be greatly strengthened.
Thinking of the awakening of blood power, Yang Qi showed a bitter smile on his face. Although he was not a blood practitioner, he was a martial arts master after all. He could feel that there was no obvious blood power in his body.
"I can feel that there doesn't seem to be any obvious blood power in your body. Either there is no blood power in your body, or the blood power is too weak." Liu Fei looked at Yang Qi and continued, "And the price of awakening the blood power of a cultivator with weak blood power is too high."
"The path of bloodline power is indeed not suitable for me." Yang Qi sighed softly. He also understood this point. "What other paths are there besides bloodline power?"
"The second method is also very simple, which is to train your body like a martial artist. However, you are already a martial arts master. Even if you have sealed your cultivation, ordinary training will not be of much help to you." Liu Fei said.
Yang Qi smiled bitterly. This method would be of greater help to weaker practitioners. For a martial arts master at his level, even if he sealed his cultivation and continuously improved his body, the effect would be minimal, but it was not without effect at all.
"The third method is to transform the body." Liu Fei smiled.
"Forget about this."
Hearing this, Yang Qi quickly shook his head. To transform the body, one usually has to forcefully absorb the blood of some powerful creature or simply transform it into a puppet. This method can certainly strengthen the practitioner's body in a short period of time, but most geniuses simply don't bother to do so.
"In that case, there is only one last solution left." Liu Fei looked at Yang Qi.
"What is the solution?"
Upon hearing this, Yang Qi hurriedly asked, of the first three methods mentioned by Liu Fei, except for the second method which was somewhat useful to him, the other methods were either impossible to do or were unacceptable modifications.
"As for the last method, I only heard my master mention it. It is said to be the war body passed down from ancient times. It is a method of cultivation based on oneself." Liu Fei said lightly.
The recorded history of Zichen Continent dates back millions of years. The ancient times mentioned by Liu Fei are before the recorded history!
"Combat body?" Yang Qi's eyes lit up. Perhaps the combat body that Liu Fei mentioned could help him.
"I wonder where I can get the method to cultivate the combat body?" Yang Qi asked hurriedly.
"I don't know about that." Liu Fei shook his head slightly. Not to mention where he could get the method to practice the ancient combat body, even if it was the ancient combat body, he had only heard Lei Yun mention it.
Hearing this, Yang Qi showed a bitter smile on his face. The first three methods were useless to him, and he had no clue about the last method that might be useful.
"Maybe Master knows. I'll ask for you." Liu Fei said with a smile.
Yang Qi nodded slightly. This was the only way. He hoped that Lei Yun knew where to get the Ancient Battle Body. Otherwise, even if the Ancient Battle Body was useful to him, he would not be able to get it. (To be continued)
