This martial saint's health bar is too thick

Chapter 115: Qi Transformation, Qi Debate

Qingyuan Boxing Village.

In the courtyard where the big dragon head lived, Li Fei stood in the yard in a Tiangang Yiqi standing posture, closing his eyes and adjusting his breathing.

Shangguan Xiao was watching not far away.

Today is September 9th, and it has been more than ten days since Zhang Mingze was killed.

After causing the second "market entrance" incident, Li Fei completely completed his "breaking the mental barrier" practice, and his mental power crossed the threshold of the Qi transformation period.

What he had to do next was to take a large amount of pills every day to allow the steel armor implant in his body to grow rapidly. He had to wait for the implant's strength and his physical strength to cross the threshold of the Qi transformation period and stimulate the innate Qi. Then he would have successfully broken through.

As he couldn't explain to Hao Yi why he was able to break through so quickly, Li Fei would go to Qingyuan Fist Village every night to ask his master Shangguan Xiao for guidance in his practice.

Shangguan Xiao is Hao Yi's junior sister. The two are of the same lineage, and Shangguan Xiao is also a powerful Taoist master herself. She is more than qualified to guide Li Fei.

Soon, Li Fei slowly opened his eyes and stopped standing.

"how?"

Shangguan Xiao, who was not far away, asked.

Li Fei looked at her and said, "According to the visualization method taught by Master, I can already feel a heat flow in the implanted steel armor, but this heat flow seems to be restrained by something and cannot burst out from the implanted body as I wish."

Shangguan Xiao nodded: "Well, the heat flow you feel is the prototype of the innate Qi. What you need to do next is to keep trying to make this heat flow break free and burst out from the implanted body."

The power of the mind cannot make the implant and the warrior's own physique stronger out of thin air, it can only stimulate the implant to grow faster. So during this period of time, Li Fei took a lot of pills every day to strengthen the implant and feed back to himself.

In more than ten days, he not only used up all the 300 Huali Pills and 500 Cao Huan Dan that he had bought before, but also bought an extra batch of pills to take. Only then did the power of the steel armor implant completely cross the threshold of the Qi transformation period, and then his own physical body also crossed this threshold.

Now Li Fei’s total number of blood souls has increased to 115!
Now his body, mind and implanted body's strength have crossed the threshold of the Qi transformation period. He only needs to merge the three to stimulate the innate Qi and officially become a martial artist in the Qi transformation period.

This was Li Fei's first attempt. He tried to coordinate the three forces according to Shangguan Xiao's visualization method. Although he did not succeed in stimulating the innate Qi in the end, he had mastered the method and success was only a matter of time.

"You already know the method. Just practice it by yourself every day. Do you want to practice with me today?"

Shangguan Xiao asked.

Li Fei took a look at his Ten Thousand Blood Pearls and found that he only needed 3% of energy to upgrade.

The large amount of elixirs he took during this period and the fight with Shangguan Xiao caused the Wanxuezhu to absorb a large amount of energy.

So he said to Shangguan Xiao:
"You need to practice."

"Okay, go get the knife."

Shangguan Xiao said.

Li Fei walked aside and took out the ghost-slashing sword from the wooden box.

He came to the center of the courtyard with a knife in hand and said to Shangguan Xiao:
"Master, please."

During this period, he would practice with Shangguan Xiao every night to hone his martial arts, and also to familiarize himself with the combat power of the Dao Foundation Stage masters in advance.

Of course, the most important thing is to have a strong person in the Dao Foundation Stage to provide energy for the Ten Thousand Blood Pearls every day.

As Li Fei finished speaking, his body suddenly swelled up, growing to two meters and three meters tall, turning into a little giant with copper-colored skin.

After activating the 'dominant body', Li Fei rushed towards Shangguan Xiao holding the Ghost Slash.

Just after taking a step forward, he suddenly changed direction and leaped to the right.

歘——

A flash of lightning cut through the air and passed through the place where Li Fei was just now.

This flash of lightning looked like a spear, shot out by Shangguan Xiao with a flick of his finger.

One of the implants she used was a third-grade medium-level [Shining], which, like Zong Guang's [Thunder Feather], had a mutant attribute - thunder attribute.

However, [Shining] is a whole grade higher than [Thunder Feather], and Shangguan Xiao's level of development of the implant is far beyond Zong Guang, and she has already cultivated the power of lightning, so the power of this lightning is naturally incomparable.

Shangguan Xiao's casual flick of the finger produced a bolt of lightning, as powerful as a bullet!
Li Fei dodged the attack in advance with the help of the danger perception of the steel armor implant, then got in close and slashed with a knife.

Shangguan Xiao raised his left hand to meet the oncoming blade.

The level 5 strange weapon she gave to Li Fei was so powerful that it could cut through iron like mud. Even with the physical strength of a Dao Foundation Stage expert, it was impossible to block it directly with his palm.

Just as the blade was about to touch Shangguan Xiao's palm, a high-speed rotating translucent cyclone suddenly appeared in her palm.

This is another power of her implant, the lower grade second-grade [Lan Bone], which also has a mutant attribute - wind attribute.

Warriors with implants with mutant attributes are usually stronger than other warriors at the same level, and the two implants that Shangguan Xiao used to build her Dao foundation are both of mutant attributes, which makes her extraordinary in the Dao foundation period. That's why she was able to escape whenever she wanted when facing the siege of a group of masters from the Zhige Academy.

At this time, she used a translucent cyclone to block the blade of Gui Zhan. This was the power of Lan Gang Jin practiced by [Lan Gu].

After Li Fei hit the cyclone, the force of his sword was blocked and the blade was stuck by the force, making it difficult to break free. Even the Ghost Slash was about to slip out of his hand.

He turned his body, moving his arms to exert force together, and used "Blood Rage" at the same time, consuming 7 blood souls at once!
After fighting with Shangguan Xiao for these days, Li Fei has become very familiar with the Lan Gang Jin and knows how to exert force to break free most easily. At this moment, relying on the power brought by "Blood Rage", Gui Zhan forced himself to break free from the cyclone, and while slashing at Shangguan Xiao, he turned sideways and avoided another flash of lightning force.

boom--

A cyclone appeared between the two men, and then exploded with a loud bang. The powerful thrust pushed Li Fei away, causing his knife to miss.

Shangguan Xiao stepped forward and slapped Li Fei from the side.

Li Fei allowed the opponent to hit him, took the blow, turned around and swept with a knife.

Shangguan Xiao flicked his right finger and hit Guizhan's blade.

hum-

This flick of the finger was like a thunderclap, causing the blade of Guizhan to tremble continuously, and Li Fei's horizontal slash was broken.

He was already used to this and continued to attack Shangguan Xiao with his knife.

The two men fought in this small courtyard, and for a moment, the sound of wind and thunder was loud!
After more than ten minutes, Shangguan Xiao stopped:
"Okay, that's it for today."

"Thank you for your hard work, Auntie."

Li Fei bowed sincerely to express his gratitude.

It would naturally not be difficult to simply defeat Li Fei, but Shangguan Xiao consciously controlled his strength every time he fought with him, so that he could both strengthen Li Fei's physique and not really hurt Li Fei.

This was very exhausting, especially since Li Fei spent at least half of his time using the Ten Thousand Blood Pearls to share damage and absorb energy, making him much more durable than ordinary martial artists. "Your talent in horizontal training is indeed rare. No wonder Senior Brother wants you to practice [Hunyuan Tianjin]."

Shangguan Xiao sighed.

If it were an ordinary martial artist, he would have fallen down long ago after being hit by so many Lan Gang Jin and Shan Lei Jin, but Li Fei seemed to be fine.

Li Fei did not explain too much. He looked at the Ten Thousand Blood Pearls in his body:
[Level: Level 10 1%
Blood Soul: 133

Blood Soul Skills: Blood Rage, Blood Evil

Transformation Skill: Blood Devil]

The fight just now allowed the Ten Thousand Blood Pearls to be successfully upgraded to level 10, and this time the number of blood souls increased by 18.

With this amount of 'blood', if we only consider the strength of vitality, Li Fei is no worse than an ordinary Daoji period strongman!
In the next few days, Li Fei spent several hours every day trying to "combine three forces into one", and his condition got better and better.

The evening of July 9.

Li Fei was still trying to combine the three forces in Shangguan Xiao's yard.

He stood in the Hunyuan Yiqi stance and closed his eyes to meditate.

In his consciousness, the steel armor implant in his body was like a mighty river.

This long river has several branches, running through his entire body and can reach any extremity of the body.

And at the bottom of the riverbed of this long river, there is a hidden hot current, like red magma.

Li Fei is constantly trying to draw this "magma" out from the bottom of the riverbed.

Gradually, the red magma broke through the riverbed and began to gush upwards!

As the magma began to erupt, it was like a chain reaction, with magma erupting from under all the tributaries of the river.

In the courtyard, Li Fei, who was standing in place with his eyes closed in meditation, suddenly felt his body tremble, and a dark golden breath suddenly spurted out from all the pores of his body.

Shangguan Xiao, who was standing by, saw this scene and was delighted:
"It's done!"

The dark golden aura that spurted out of Li Fei's body was the innate Qi!
She took a step forward and instantly came to Li Fei's side. She pointed a finger at Li Fei's chest and said in a deep voice:

"Calm your mind and guard your breath. Follow the method I taught you before and slowly guide this breath to flow throughout your body."

As she spoke, she assisted Li Fei in guiding the innate Qi that burst out of his body for the first time.

At this point, you can see how important it is to have a good teacher to help you practice martial arts.

If Li Fei achieved the breakthrough on his own without anyone watching over him, he might cause internal injuries because he would not be able to properly guide the innate Qi in his body.

The most important thing is that the first burst of innate Qi has the best effect on transforming the body. If you can successfully guide the innate Qi to flow throughout the body at this time, your future martial arts practice will be smoother.

More than ten minutes later, with the help of Shangguan Xiao, Li Fei successfully guided the innate Qi to flow throughout his body, completing the first strengthening of the body by the innate Qi.

He felt warm all over, as if he was soaking in a hot spring, very comfortable.

After his breath completely calmed down, he slowly opened his eyes and saluted to Shangguan Xiao:
"Thank you, Master, for your protection."

Shangguan Xiao smiled and helped him up:
"Why are you being so polite to Master-aunt? Congratulations, you are now a martial arts master."

Having successfully stimulated the innate Qi, Li Fei can be called a martial artist even if he has entered the Qi transformation stage from the body breaking stage.

Next, when he breaks through to the middle stage of Qi transformation and develops strong strength, he can be called a strong martial artist.

"You broke through to the Qi Transformation Stage by breaking through the mental barrier. Your mental power is much stronger than that of ordinary Qi Transformation Stage martial artists. This will give you stronger control over your innate Qi and will also make your cultivation faster."

Shangguan Xiao said to Li Fei.

"I heard from my senior brother that for warriors who have achieved a breakthrough by breaking through the mental barrier, their implant compatibility can be improved by at least one major grade! For example, if your compatibility is B-low, then after the breakthrough, the growth rate of your implant will be at least comparable to that of a person with A-low aptitude."

Li Fei was thoughtful after listening to it.

His overall qualification at the beginning was B-lower, but because of the Ten Thousand Blood Pearls, there was almost no upper limit to his endurance.

As for the degree of compatibility, he has already taken a lot of transparent pills. After he has taken all the transparent pills in his hand, his qualifications will be able to be improved to B or above.

And this is the limit. The Tongming Pill cannot improve a person's qualifications from Class B to Class A.

Now Li Fei has broken through to the Qi Transformation Stage by "breaking the heart barrier". According to Shangguan Xiao, his qualifications in terms of compatibility can obtain a bonus equivalent to that of a large grade.

That means you can move from B to A!

The degree of fit determines the growth speed of the implant. Coupled with the convenience brought by the Ten Thousand Blood Pearls, Li Fei's future cultivation speed will be terrifyingly fast!
"Teacher, did you also break through to the Qi Transformation Stage by breaking through the mental barrier?"

Li Fei asked curiously.

Shangguan Xiao nodded, with a complicated expression:
"Yes, both you and your teacher and student took this path."

She seemed unwilling to talk more about this topic, and soon changed the subject and began to explain to Li Fei the various matters that needed to be paid attention to during the Qi Transformation Period:

".Even if it is the same implant, due to different individual constitutions and different cultivation processes, the innate Qi that is ultimately stimulated will be different. After the implant of the five elements reaches the Qi transformation period, there are dozens of types of innate Qi generated. First, yin and yang are divided according to the heavenly stems, among which Jia, Bing, Wu, Geng, and Ren are positive, and Yi, Ding, Ji, Xin, and Gui are negative."

"Jia wood, Yi wood, Bing fire, Ding fire, Wu earth, Ji earth, Geng metal, Xin metal, Ren water, Gui water, a total of ten attributes."

"In addition, the innate Qi is divided into six types: True, Clear, Gang, Sha, Xuan, and Yuan. True Qi is pure, Qing Qi is light and agile, Gang Qi is overbearing, Sha Qi is sinister and treacherous, Xuan Qi is changeable, and Yuan Qi is thick and solid."

"Your [Steel Armor] implant is of the metal attribute, so the innate Qi you cultivate is nothing more than Gengjin and Xinjin. As for the next six attributes, [Steel Armor] is definitely not related to Qingqi, Shaqi, and Xuanqi. Your innate Qi can only be one of Zhenqi, Gangqi, and Yuanqi. Gangqi is the most common, Yuanqi is very suitable, and Zhenqi is the rarest."

Shangguan Xiao looked at Li Fei:

"Your teacher hopes that you can cultivate the Dao foundation of [Hunyuan Tianjin], so your innate Qi had better be Yuan Qi, so that you have a chance of success. If it is Gang Qi, then the final step of integrating with the Dao will be very difficult."

Li Fei quickly digested the content and asked:
"What if it is true Qi?"

Shangguan Xiao smiled and said, "True Qi is the most difficult of the six kinds of innate Qi to produce, because it requires sufficient purity. Warriors take too many drugs during their practice, and the implants will inevitably absorb and precipitate many impurities. This causes the stimulated innate Qi to also carry some impurities, which is not pure enough and naturally cannot become true Qi."

"If you can cultivate true Qi, then your chances of cultivating [Hunyuan Tianjin] will increase by at least 30%!"

After saying that, Shangguan Xiao walked into the house and took out a Bagua stone plate.

She took the stone plate and walked to Li Fei:

"I just had a preliminary sense of your innate Qi, but my personal sense is not the most accurate. This is a Bagua plate specifically used to identify Qi. Inject your innate Qi into it and see what kind of Qi you cultivate?"
