I'm a body cultivator, so it's normal for me to destroy a star with one punch, right?

Chapter 152 Refining Marrow Like Frost, Blood Like Mercury, Rebirth and Transformation, Immaculate Body!
"???"

Xiahou Wu's face was full of question marks. He laughed and said, "Impossible. I am the first body refinement master of Great Xia. I have a great understanding of the limits of the human body. I have guided all the body refinement masters in Great Xia now."

"Most of them reached the physical limit when they reached the power of two dragons."

"Only two people have exceeded the power of two dragons."

Xiahou Wu himself, back then, had a physical limit of 3 dragons' power.

After all, he was born with superhuman strength.

He had also cultivated to the level of a Grandmaster, and his physique was unmatched by ordinary body-refining martial artists.

According to his judgment, most body-refining martial artists improve themselves by constantly breaking their limits in the early stages of body refining. When their physical strength reaches the power of two dragons, they will reach a bottleneck!

Let alone Xiahou Wu.

Even the other people at the table looked surprised.

Except for Liu Feng.

Liu Feng said nonchalantly, "What's so strange about that? After all, everyone's physique is different. My nephew has a special physique, so it's normal for his limits to be a bit higher, isn't it?"

Xiahou Wu was skeptical and questioned, "Your physical strength already surpasses that of three dragons, yet you haven't reached your limit? You can still improve?"

Jiang He nodded and said truthfully, "Yes, senior, but the improvement is not significant. Even with hard training every day, I can only gain about 200 kg."

Xiahou Wu: "..."

Jiang He changed the subject and added, "Of course, if you have some body-refining resources, you'll improve faster."

Liu Feng took a sip of wine and said, "I can testify to this matter. Moreover, my nephew has a special physique and can refine and absorb various resources very quickly."

"How fast can it be?"

Xiahou Wu, skeptical, flipped his hand and took out a pill, saying, "This is a Marrow Refining Pill. We body-refining martial artists cultivate by refining our skin, bones, tendons, flesh, blood, and internal organs, and refining our marrow to exchange blood... This pill is extremely useful for us body-refining martial artists. You should try it."

Jiang He took the Marrow Refining Pill and popped it into his mouth.

chew.

Swallow.

"Ding!"

"Swallow the pill, strength +500kg".

A system notification sounded in my mind.

Jiang He's eyes lit up, and he said, "This Marrow Refining Pill is so magical, and it tastes much better than the Bone Refining Pill. It has a sweet fragrance and leaves a lingering aftertaste... Senior Xiahou, is the Marrow Refining Pill sold on the Martial Arts Administration Bureau's official website? I'd like to buy some too."

Xiahou Wu's mouth dropped open.

It was like being struck by lightning!

The other grandmasters had roughly the same expression.

With their eyesight and perception, they could naturally sense the surge and increase in Jiang He's blood and qi the instant he swallowed the [Marrow Refining Pill]!

"That's weird, that's weird!"

A grandmaster clicked his tongue in amazement and said, "I thought Xiahou Wu, this martial arts legend, was already abnormal enough with his innate divine strength, but I didn't expect this guy to be even more special!"

Xiahou Wu was also amazed and said, "Could it be that you haven't reached your limit yet? If you continue to improve, wouldn't that truly be the saying, 'Not a grandmaster, but better than a grandmaster'?"

"what?"

Jiang He was taken aback and asked nervously, "Senior Xiahou, if my physical body has no limit, does that mean I'll never reach that limit in this lifetime?"

Xiahou Wu said, "Isn't this a good thing?"

"The path of body refinement has no future."

"After I reached the limit of my physical body, I was unable to make any further progress. By chance, I created a method to condense qi and blood, which broke through the limit and entered the realm of body refining master."

"We body-refining martial artists prioritize our physical body and our own strength. When your strength reaches the level of five dragons or ten dragons, who would dare not regard you as a grandmaster?"

Jiang He thought about it carefully.

That seems to make sense.

Then I will continue my arduous practice...

Should we wait until we can't improve our physical strength any further?

"correct!"

Jiang He then remembered something else and asked, "Senior Xiahou, normal martial artists can fly when they reach the ninth rank. Can body-refining martial artists do the same?"

Xiahou Wu said, "Of course, but we body-refining martial artists are different from normal martial artists. When they fly, they usually rely on their control of the power of heaven and earth to counteract the earth's gravity and use their own cultivation to propel themselves into flight."

"Body-refining martial artists, on the other hand, use the power of qi and blood as their driving force."

The power of Qi and blood...

It can also be used as a power source?
Jiang He looked puzzled.

Xiahou Wuze said, "When a body-refining martial artist breaks through to the Grandmaster realm, they can release their qi and blood. When your qi and blood power is strong enough, you can naturally rely on it to fly."

Is Qi and blood being released externally?

Jiang He circulated his qi and blood, and a blood mist rose around him. He asked, "Senior Xiahou, is this considered releasing my qi and blood?"

Xiahou Wu raised his hand and struck out with a palm from a distance.

His vital energy surged like a dragon, flying out from his palm and transforming into a massive blood-red handprint that landed a thousand meters away, creating a large crater in the forest. He said, "This is what you call releasing vital energy externally; yours is merely manifesting vital energy externally."

Jiang He watched with great envy and longing.

We body-refining martial artists can actually come up with these fancy ranged attacks?

Are the body-refining martial artists finally going to stand up?

Xiahou Wu laughed and said, "You don't need to be envious... You must have a special physique, so your physical limits are relatively high. This is a good thing. Once you reach your physical limits and break through to the Grandmaster realm, you will definitely be stronger than I was back then."

"For our Great Xia to produce a body-refining genius like you, we are truly not alone on the path of cultivation!"

Xiahou Wu originally wanted to take Jiang He as his apprentice because he admired talent.

At this moment, however, he no longer had any intention of taking on disciples; instead, he regarded Jiang He as a peer.

He shifted his position slightly to the side, asked someone to bring Jiang He a chair so he could sit next to him, and immediately began discussing the "path of body refinement" with Jiang He.

Jiang He was overjoyed!

to be frank!
I've only been practicing body tempering for less than two months now, so I'm still a complete newbie!

He had too many questions about the path of body refinement.

Now that Senior Xiahou Wu, the number one body refiner in the Great Xia Dynasty, has humbled himself and personally discussed the "Way of Body Refinement" with him, he naturally did not hesitate to ask questions and seized the opportunity to inquire.

"Senior Xiahou, I often lose control of my power when I cultivate. Last time I even trampled the roof of our hospital... How can I avoid this?" Xiahou Wu: "Hospital?"

Jiang He: "Yes, on the hospital rooftop."

"besides……"

"I have been practicing the second volume of the Great Sage Fist for some time now, but I still can't unleash the power of the triple internal force. Senior Xiahou, you are the creator of the Great Sage Fist, do you have any techniques you can teach me?"

Xiahou Wu laughed and said, "That's easy... Come on, let's go to the mountains over there, and you can show me a few punches."

The two ran into the wilderness and forests.

Jiang He asked, "Senior Xiahou, do I need to use my full strength? A friend of mine said that it's difficult to master without using my full strength."

Xiahou Wu said, "No need. The accumulation of internal force is a technique for generating power. Moreover, the greatest strength of us body-refining martial artists lies in our control over our own bodies. If we don't even have this much control, then what are we doing refining our bodies?"

The Great Sage Fist was created by Xiahou Wu.

With his personal guidance, the results were predictable!

In addition, Jiang He had already mastered the first level of the Great Sage Fist and had a certain understanding of the techniques of stacking internal energy and exerting force, so he learned it very quickly!
In just two hours, Jiang He had successfully delivered a punch with "triple hidden force".

"very good!"

A look of surprise flashed in Xiahou Wu's eyes. He said, "Your comprehension is very high... Remember the feeling of that punch just now, practice diligently, and do more real combat. You should be able to master the second level of the Great Sage Fist very soon!"

Jiang He was extremely grateful.

Xiahou Wu then pointed out the rivers and streams for a while.

Jiang He has gained a deeper understanding of power generation techniques.

Xiahou Wu, on the other hand, popularized the path beyond the Grandmaster realm for Jiang He.

"At the seventh level of Body Refinement, one's Qi and blood are released externally, resulting in a significant improvement in physique and strength, as well as endurance... In terms of direct combat ability, we Body Refinement martial artists are definitely among the top tier in our level!"

"At the seventh level of body refinement, the most important thing is to refine the internal organs. When the five internal organs are as strong as metal, the physique can naturally reach a higher level. And a strong physique will nourish one's spirit, making the spirit stronger and the martial will as solid as a rock!"

Jiang He asked in confusion, "Senior Xiahou, can a body-refining martial artist also cultivate spiritual power? If so, wouldn't that also allow one to project spiritual power outwards? And perceive everything within the range of the projected spiritual power?"

A top-tier sixth-grade martial artist has begun cultivating the true essence of martial arts!
The true meaning of martial arts is actually a manifestation of one's personal spirit and will, as well as one's understanding of martial arts. Once one advances to the Grandmaster level, one can project one's spiritual power outwards, and even a single glance can cause an ordinary martial artist to collapse.

This is an attack on a psychological level.

Xiahou Wudao said: "The human spirit and soul are carried by the physical body. They cultivate the true meaning of martial arts and comprehend the world to strengthen their own spirit and will. We body-refining martial artists, on the other hand, use our own strong physique to nourish and nurture our spirit and will."

"But it is precisely because the physique is too strong that it is difficult to project spiritual power outward... Moreover, we body-refining martial artists do not need to rely on spiritual power to perceive."

He pointed to his ears.

He pointed to his own body.

"When the physical body becomes strong enough, a person's five senses and six perceptions will also become incredibly powerful, allowing them to perceive everything solely through their five senses and six perceptions."

"Over the years, I have studied various ancient martial arts texts and discovered that the Buddhist abilities such as the divine eye, divine ear, and divine foot are very likely martial arts supernatural powers that are born after a certain part of the body has been cultivated to a certain level!"

Mentioning Buddhism.

Xiahou Wu sighed and said, "Actually, I've always wanted to visit the Buddhist sect all these years, but unfortunately, the Buddhist sect closed its mountains before the Great Cataclysm. I read through ancient books and found that the Buddhist sect has always had the concept of Golden-bodied Arhats... These Golden-bodied Arhats may be those who attained enlightenment through the path of body refinement!"

Jiang He's eyes flickered slightly, and he said, "So... the path of body refinement actually already existed as early as the ancient martial arts era?"

Xiahou Wu nodded, then shook his head, and said, "Perhaps there is, perhaps there isn't... Even if the golden-bodied Arhats of Buddhism attain enlightenment through body refinement, their body refinement method should be different from the one I created."

Over the years, Xiahou Wu has been studying the art of body refinement.

He hopes to go further on this path of martial arts...

pity!

A portion of the history of the Great Xia Dynasty was once erased.

Most of the records about ancient martial arts were obtained in recent years from those "secret realms and grottoes" that have been excavated, and the records are not very detailed.

"The eighth and ninth levels of body refinement are then called marrow refinement and blood exchange!"

When Xiahou Wu got to this point, he suddenly activated his own qi and blood. Instantly, surging qi and blood floated around his body like blood dragons, and the sound of the qi and blood flowing was like a thousand troops and a rushing river.

An imposing, mountain-like aura emanated from him.

Xiahou Wu said in a deep voice, "Jiang He, close your eyes and see what you can see?"

Close your eyes and see what you see.

This sentence is clearly grammatically incorrect.

But Jiang He did as instructed.

He closed his eyes and carefully sensed...

Another image immediately appeared in my mind.

He "saw" that what was standing in front of him was not a human being, but a furnace, a sun!
He "saw" Xiahou Wu's body, where the powerful blood and qi surged straight into the sky like smoke from a wolf's beacon.

He "saw" an indescribable, overwhelming aura emanating from Xiahou Wu.

"Fist...intent?"

Jiang He slowly opened his eyes, frowned and said, "It doesn't seem quite right. In this martial arts competition, there were also half-step grandmasters who had cultivated fist intent, but compared with Senior Xiahou, his fist intent was not even worthy of carrying his shoes!"

Xiahou Wu laughed and said, "A mere half-step Grandmaster dares to try and provoke me, Xiahou Wu?"

"My marrow is as smooth as frost, my blood as pure as mercury, I have undergone a complete transformation, cleansed my body and bones, and my flesh is spotless. I have reached the limit of the ninth grade of body refinement. I have fused my fist intent, spirit and will into one. Although I cannot comprehend the world or draw upon its power, who in the world, among those of the same level, would dare to take my punch head-on?"

boom!
He threw a punch, channeling all his fist intent, spiritual will, and surging blood energy into this one punch, aiming it at a small mountain in front of him!
boom!
It looked like a missile exploding!
The top of that small mountain was blasted in half by this punch, rocks flew everywhere, and the earth trembled violently!
Jiang He stared in awe, clenching his fists and muttering, "So this is what a Grandmaster of Body Refinement is... truly impressive. Senior Xiahou, what kind of realm is beyond the ninth rank of Body Refinement?"

Xiahou Wu said, "I call the realm above the ninth rank of body refinement the Vajra Realm. Once you achieve it, your physical body will be indestructible and you will be invincible among those of the same rank."

talking.

He paused for a moment and chuckled, "Of course... this is just my guess. Whether it will come true or not, we'll have to wait until I've survived the tribulation."

"???"

Jiang He was stunned for a moment.

Xiahou Wu said, "Alright, that's about it for body refining. The methods of refining internal organs and marrow, and blood exchange are all recorded in the Great Sage Fist... Let's add each other on WeChat, and I'll send you the complete Great Sage Fist cultivation method later."

"Thank you very much, Senior Xiahou!"

Jiang He was beaming with joy.

The complete Great Sage Fist...

Worth 500 billion!
Even if you hire someone to buy it for you, it would still cost 400 billion!
Now that Xiahou Wu is giving it to me directly, it's no loss for Xiahou Wu, but it saves me a lot of money!
