Chapter 56: The Secret of Physical Cultivation

Liu Yan also seemed to see Xu Mu's incomprehension, so he smiled and said, "All right, you don't need to think too much, today's matter is for the master to go back and explain it to you.Hearing these words from his master, Xu Mu's mind calmed down.Anyway, he didn't need to go to the stage for the next competition, so he simply pinched a Spirit Stone in his hand to slowly replenish his spiritual energy while he watched the competition in the ring.Although the remaining disciples brought by the Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators knew that there was no hope of winning first place, they didn't aim for first place, so they didn't lose any colour and still worked hard during the competition.Liu Yan was stunned by his words, then smiled awkwardly and said, "Madam Bai, this is too much, the matter of baby formation has its own heavenly destiny, I wouldn't dare to say such big words.Seeing this, Qin Feng smiled and said, "It's really encouraging that several of my fellow disciples have made such progress at my Fort Kaiyang's Spirit Test Conference, so I wonder if the competition for the next level of qi cultivation disciples still needs to be held?That's right, since everyone had decided that Xu Mu's Five Elements Spirit Determining Ring was the best of the current session, it was debatable whether or not the following competition would take place.Even if there was a magic weapon that performed even more brilliantly, I'm afraid it wouldn't be able to compare to the Five Elements Spirit Determining Ring, and it wouldn't affect its name.And the Spirit Trial Conference itself is just an exchange meeting, not a real ring competition.Seeing this, Liu Yan smiled and said, "Fort Master Qin is joking, of course the next competition will go on as usual, if there is something more subtle than the Five Elements Spirit Determining Ring, then of course the top spot should be relinquished.Old Zhao sniffed and looked at Liu Yan for no good reason, as if to say, "You old boy got a bargain, and you are still selling your good behaviour.However, since Liu Yan had said so, the next competition would of course be held as usual.One thing Xu Mu was curious about was that this group of people never mentioned their magic jade knife again.If he didn't have the Jade Knife, he wouldn't have been able to break through Wang Ming's armour, and the two of them would have been considered a draw at best.Xu Mu vaguely guessed that this was mainly related to the 'physical cultivation' he had just mentioned, and couldn't help but think about it.However, even though he had read many canonical books, there were no records of physical cultivation, and after half a day of thinking, he still had no clue.After all, this was a once-in-five-years opportunity to communicate with fellow practitioners, and from Qin Feng's critique, all parties could gain a lot of knowledge and insight into weapon refining. Especially for the small mountain sects, it was absolutely impossible for them to use their power to buy spirit and magic weapons from outside, and the cost of training a refiner was too high if they wanted to refine them themselves.The Spirit Trial Conference, which was held every five years, had simply become a school for the weapon refiners of these small sects.When Xu Mu discovered this, he was immediately surprised, but looking at the expressions on his masters' faces, it seemed as if they had already known.Except for some very special refining methods, none of them were shy and were very willing to share some of their refining techniques and insights.It was actually not easy for cultivators from large sects to do this.However, from the reviews, it could be seen that Fortress Master Qin Feng's level of weapon forging seemed to be quite high, except for a few special magical weapons, the principles of which were basically all known at a glance.Therefore, it was no wonder that the Spirit Trial Conference was held at Kaiyang Fortress.However, he also knew that after attending the Spirit Trial Conference, he had lost his greatest 'value' to Liu Yan, and in the future, he would be nothing more than a poorly qualified Qi Practising Stage disciple.From now on, I am afraid that the cultivation resources he has obtained will not be the same as in the past, and with his qualifications, it will be very difficult to build a foundation.However, he had no intention of asking Liu Yan for anything.Of course, Liu Yan also knew this when he heard that Xu Mu did not mention any requirements, instead he froze for a moment and then sighed: "Xu Mu, you are really filial, really make the teacher touched ah! Xu Mu respectfully said, "The disciple is just doing his duty!Hehe, a good abide by this, you and rest assured, in the future you cultivate which part of the Gongfa, for the teacher will no longer ask, with your efforts, this life foundation building is not all hopeless. Liu Yan said slowly.Xu Mu nodded and said, "Thank you, Master! However, the disciple still has a doubt, what exactly is the so-called treasure of physical cultivation?Liu Yan smiled and said, "I knew you would ask, so I'll tell you!It turns out that once upon a time, in the ancient cultivation realm, the cultivation of immortality was not only the path of qi cultivation, but also the method of body refinement.

Those who cultivated qi were called dharma cultivators, and those who cultivated the body were called body cultivators.In a short time, the competition for the Qi Practising Stage disciples was over, and not surprisingly, the Five Elements Spirit Fixing Ring that Yun Li and Liu Yan had jointly designed and refined won the first prize for this session's magic weapon.The name of Grandmaster Yun Li of Tailing Mountain was also known by more people, which was obviously the result Liu Yan wanted to see.As for the Spirit Artefact Competition for Foundation Stage disciples, it would start on the second day, when the culminating part of the Spirit Trial Assembly would be held, and many Foundation Stage cultivators had long been eager to try it out.Not long after, Xu Mu followed Liu Yan back to the attic where they lived.All the way back, Liu Yan was beaming, obviously very pleased with Xu Mu's performance this time.Just as they entered the hall, Liu Yan said with a smile: "Xu Mu, you have fulfilled a great wish of the master, what do you want?Xu Mu heard this and respectfully said, "If there is no Teacher's teaching, there is no Xu Mu today, Xu Mu has been given a lot by the Teacher, do not dare to have other demands.These words were truly from Xu Mu's heart.Those who practised qi drew qi into the body and transformed it into mana ability, and mostly used spiritual treasures against the enemy.Body refiners, who turn qi into essence, have unparalleled power and focus on their own strength.Of course, it's not that body cultivators don't use weapons at all, but although they can't release their spiritual energy to hurt the enemy, and they can't use a number of magical treasures like flying swords, they can use a special kind of weapon.This kind of weapon is collectively known as the treasure of body cultivation.Body Cultivation Treasure cannot be run by spiritual power, the use of the body cultivator must be injected into the flesh and blood of the force, strong and general magic treasure comparable to a small number of more than that.The jade knife in Xu Mu's hand was a replica of a physical cultivation treasure, or rather, a lower-ranked physical cultivation treasure.Speaking of which, the internal martial arts of the secular martial arts were not so much derived from the Taoist method of practising qi and exhalation, but rather from these physical cultivation techniques.Therefore, using internal energy could also temporarily activate some of the power of the Jade Blade, but it could not fully utilise it.In order to truly use the Jade Blade, one would have to truly become a body cultivator, otherwise it would be hopeless.Liu Yan suddenly smiled and said, "With your Five Spirit Root qualification, if you want to reach the Dao, it is best that you really cultivate the way of physical cultivation, but I have already lost the inheritance of physical cultivation in my country of Zhao, otherwise my teacher will definitely help you.Xu Mu was stunned by his words and said confusedly, "Why is that? Doesn't physical cultivation require higher qualifications?
