Chapter 348: The Difference Between Physical Cultivation
When Yan Siyun heard this, she felt like she was struck by thunder. She was stunned for a long time, and then she said decisively: "Absolutely impossible! What kind of identity is Yu Hong, how could he come out to be a sand pirate? And his appearance and dress are completely different."
Her words seemed decisive, but the vibrato when she spoke revealed what she was thinking.
"If you don't believe me, fellow Taoist, why don't you look through his storage bag? Maybe there will be something to prove your identity?" Yuan Ming shrugged, looking indifferent.
Although he took action to kill Mr. Guo, although this man was a monk in the Danjie stage, in the final analysis he was just an unimportant guest. Now as the master, Yu Hong is also dead. From now on, is there anyone in the Five Thunder Sect? I remember Mr. Guo said otherwise, let alone come to trouble him.
However, Baidanfang, which surrounded and killed Yuhong with his own hands, would be in big trouble.
Yan Siyun trembled when she heard Yuan Ming's words. Elder Zhen who was beside her immediately picked up the storage bag without her instructions. After looking through it for a moment, he took out a token representing the identity of the elder of the Five Thunder Sect with a livid face. Token.
Yan Sijing's breathing froze when she saw the token. She subconsciously reached out and grabbed her sister's arm.
Although Yan Siyun did not use her spiritual sense to investigate, seeing her sister react like this, she suddenly became disheartened and had a bit of a wry smile on her face.
Seeing her like this, a look of sympathy flashed across Yuan Ming's face.
As a person who can take charge of the business of Wu Lei Pavilion in the Black Wind Desert area, Yu Hong's identity is not just as simple as the elder of Wu Lei Sect. He is the direct grandson of the powerful Lei Ming Patriarch in the early stage of Yuan Ying of Wu Lei Sect, and he is born with supernatural spiritual roots. , can be said to have outstanding qualifications. He has been favored since he was a child, and almost all the resources of the sect have been used to train him.
Although the sect asked him to come to the Black Wind Desert for training, he was asked to manage a lucrative store business, which shows how favored he is.
It was a fluke that Baidanfang was able to kill Yuhong this time. Since the last time he robbed and killed Baidanfang's caravan was too smooth, this time Yuhong came out. In order to cover up others' eyes, he didn't bring many followers with him, nor did he use too many magic weapons. Fu Lu, otherwise with his wealth, there would be no problem in protecting himself when facing two alchemy monks, not to mention defeating them.
Yan Siyun was silent for a long time, finally recovered, took a deep breath, and then took out a storage bag.
"Fellow Daoist Yuan, this time we used you as bait in order to ambush the sand bandits. I am really sorry. This elixir-cleansing liquid and elixir are our apology. Please accept it."
Yuan Ming heard this and took the storage bag from her hand. He knew that the storage bag was both an apology and hush money. He immediately nodded and said: "You two Taoist friends, don't worry. With this apology, I will not do anything about it anymore." If you care about it, just pretend that you have never participated in what is happening today.”
Yan Siyun nodded and said meaningfully: "That's good. I won't reveal to others the fact that Fellow Daoist Yuan helped kill the Sand Bandit."
"Then I'll say goodbye. Take care, everyone." Yuan Ming smiled nonchalantly, checked the contents of the storage bag, then said no more, turned around and drove away in Leiyu.
"Sister, are you just going to let him go? What if he tells what happened today..." Yan Sijing looked at Yuan Ming's leaving figure and hesitated to speak.
"Yes, although this person is not weak, he is alone after all. Elder Chai and I took action at the same time. It shouldn't be difficult to keep him." Elder Zhen and Chai Jiujin looked at each other and said.
"He can easily kill an alchemy monk by himself, and now he dares to come here alone. Do you really think you can keep him? He is a smart man and knows what to do. We at Baidanfang also hope to have more If you make friends with such a person, Si Jing, if he comes again in the future, you must treat him as a monk in the Dan Formation stage," Yan Siyun said.
"Sister, I understand." Yan Sijing nodded, looking up at the distant black spot in the sky again, with an inexplicable complex look flashing in her eyes.
…
On the way back to Purple Thunder City, Yuan Ming sat cross-legged on Lei Yu, feeling the breeze blowing on his face and feeling quite happy in his heart.
Although this trip had many twists and turns, the harvest was not small. The most important thing was to get the elixir-cleansing liquid directly from the other party, which really saved a lot of trouble and time, and also killed an elixir-forming monk.
With this in mind, he took out Mr. Guo's storage bag and began to count it.
As a guest of the Five Thunder Sect during the alchemy period, and as Yu Hong's subordinate for so many years, Mr. Guo is quite wealthy. In his storage bag, there are not only tens of thousands of spiritual stones, but also a large number of various types of elixirs and spiritual materials. , in addition there is a jade slip and many classics.
With these things, plus the elixir-cleansing liquid and other elixirs given by Yan Siyun, Yuan Ming can be said to have made a lot of money this time.
The only pity is that Mr. Guo doesn't have many magic weapons and magic weapons on his body. Apart from the small bronze cauldron and the Qingxin Pendant, the only thing left is a magic weapon and spiritual boots that he wears on his feet.
When Yuan Ming put away Mr. Guo's body, he took off his boots and did not throw them to Yan Siyun and the others along with the body.
This boot is engraved with runes such as light body and escape from the earth. It is a top-quality magical weapon and is in very good condition. Yuan Ming named it Earth Walking Boots and planned to give it to Xu Che for use in the future to increase his efficiency.
Mr. Guo's jade slips contain his main practice technique, which is a fire-attribute technique called "Fire Swallowing Technique". Although it looks pretty good and can be practiced up to the early stage of pill formation, Yuan Ming already had a more exquisite complete version of "Nine Yuan Jue", so naturally he didn't need it, so he glanced at it and stopped paying attention.
Among those classics, Yuan Ming accidentally discovered a book called "Body Training". The cover and inner pages were a little wrinkled, and it seemed that it had been read frequently.
This book seems to come from the Western Regions. The first half is written in the language of the Rong people, and the second half is translated into the Central Plains language.
The book describes in detail the characteristics of each stage of physical cultivation, and also lists some common tricks used by physical cultivation at different stages. Although it does not involve the specific content of cultivation, it is very good as an introductory book.
The book says that the level of physical cultivation is divided according to the strength of the flesh and bones. The realm may be similar to that of magic cultivation, but the name is different.
If arranged from bottom to top, there are five realms: copper skin body, iron bone body, innate body, open orifice body, and all-encompassing body, which correspond to the five realms of Qi refining, foundation building, Dan formation, Yuanying and returning to the void of magic cultivation.
Among them, the copper skin body is to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to repeatedly temper the muscles and skin, making the skin as hard as fine iron, reaching the level of being able to resist magic spells and magic tools.
The iron bone body focuses on tempering the bones, further improving the strength of the flesh from the inside out, so as to reach the level of being able to easily crush magic tools.
The innate body is different from the previous two. The practice is no longer limited to the polishing of muscles and bones, but focuses on the use of breathing methods.
Every physical cultivator who reaches the innate body will have a set of breathing methods that belong to him. Even if someone uses the same breathing method, there will be differences in the process of practice. Many monsters that are good at physical bodies actually have different breathing methods when they reach the Dan stage.
While the breathing method tempers the internal organs of the physical cultivator, it will also produce internal breath in the body of the physical cultivator that is different from the magic power of the magic cultivator. The physical cultivator can use the internal breath to perform some special moves, or spread the internal breath throughout the body to form an indestructible body. With the physical body, he can greatly resist the attack power of magic weapons and spells, and even ordinary magic weapons and spells cannot break the defense at all.
Some common moves of physical cultivators at this stage, such as exhaling air into arrows, hitting cows across mountains, and Hundred-Step Divine Fist, etc., have great power comparable to the magic weapons of magic cultivators. The most important thing is that these moves are just ordinary uses of internal energy by physical cultivators, and they are not even unique. They just require a lot of spiritual stones or spiritual materials to be tempered.
Like the Hundred-Step Divine Fist that King Kong used to break the array shield before, it can use fists to hit invisible fist power, and the power is condensed and not dispersed. It can reach a hundred steps away in an instant. The only disadvantage is that as the distance increases, the power will gradually decrease. In fact, if it exceeds a hundred steps, the power will be reduced to almost nothing, but a hundred steps is just a concept. As the body improves, this distance will also increase to a certain extent.
The book says that there was a physical cultivator with an innate body who specialized in practicing the Hundred-Step Divine Fist. In the end, the distance that the fist power could reach even reached hundreds of feet, which was enough to scare all kinds of cultivators.
The "Lecture on Body Building" has little introduction to the last two stages of physical cultivation, only mentioning that in order to advance to the body of the orifices, the physical cultivator needs to comprehend the artistic conception, and the body of all things is only mentioned in name.
As a cultivator who enters the immortal path purely with the flesh, the strength of physical cultivators is unquestionable, but the overall number of physical cultivators in the immortal world is much smaller than that of magic cultivators, and there are two fatal flaws.
First, before reaching the body of the orifices, physical cultivators cannot fly. Even if they can use means such as bouncing to achieve temporary levitation, they cannot use force in the air, and it is quite difficult to use various means.
Therefore, in the battle of magic, in theory, when the magic cultivator finds that he is no match for the physical cultivator, he can fly high and use the advantage of high altitude to consume the physical cultivator.
Of course, the actual situation is that when the magic cultivator encounters a physical cultivator of the same level who cannot be defeated, they will run away directly, and no one is willing to grind their "turtle shell".
In addition, the second biggest weakness of physical cultivators is the soul. Since the strength of the flesh cannot be fed back to the soul, as long as targeted means can be taken out, the physical cultivator will easily be defeated.
However, only soul cultivators have a large number of soul attack methods, so for ordinary magic cultivators, it is still difficult to take advantage of this weakness of body cultivators without special means.
"Lectures on Body Forging" did not play a big role in Yuan Ming's cultivation, but it helped him broaden his horizons and gain a more comprehensive understanding of body cultivation.
When reading, time always passes quickly. Unknowingly, the thunderstorm has already flown to Zilei City. Seeing this, Yuan Ming put the book away again.
