Lao Tzu is Ji Gong

Upon hearing this, Li Xiuyuan pondered for a moment and said, "Wrong. As far as I know, there are several kinds."

He paused for a moment and then continued, "The path of cultivation is to seize the creation of heaven and earth! My cultivation method can be called cultivation of truth, which is divided into Qi Refining, Foundation Building, Golden Core, and if you cultivate to the end, even becoming an immortal is not a dream."

As for becoming an immortal, one can live for ten thousand years. And my true energy can be called magical power.

what?

The three were taken aback. All the people they had come into contact with were martial arts experts, but they had never encountered a true master of cultivation.

Xiaoyaozi asked, "Is there really such a thing as immortality in this world?"

Li Xiuyuan nodded and said, "That's natural. I have now entered the Foundation Establishment stage, and I only need to take the final step to enter the Golden Core stage. Even if my cultivation does not improve in the future, I can still live for five hundred years."

hum!

The three were greatly encouraged upon hearing this, and were about to speak when Li Xiuyuan spoke first.

"In the early stages of cultivation, one's combat strength is relatively weak and cannot compare to that of martial arts masters. However, if one has a good magic weapon, one's combat strength can be greatly increased."

He paused and then said, "As for what you are practicing, Brother Dao, you are practicing martial arts. In the early stages, your combat power is relatively high, but if you want to break through later, you must have great perseverance and great opportunities."

Martial arts masters are generally stronger than cultivators, but their lifespans are shorter. Even if you, brother, are a Grandmaster-level expert, you'll only live to be two hundred years old at most. If you can't break through to a higher level, your lifespan will likely be shortened.

Upon hearing this, Xiaoyaozi suddenly realized and asked, "I see that your cultivation level is similar to mine. Isn't it said that cultivators are weaker than martial artists? Yet your combat strength is so high. Why is that?"

He had many questions in his mind. Were cultivation masters really weak? How could his opponent be so powerful!

At this moment, Li Qiushui and Wu Xingyun had already set their sights on Li Xiuyuan, as if trying to find out something. Who doesn't want to live forever?

Especially Li Qiushui's beautiful eyes were burning with desire, as if she wanted to devour him whole; she was clearly very interested. But under these circumstances, they had no right to speak.

Li Xiuyuan shook his head and said, "No, I'm an exception. The cultivation masters I'm talking about are weaker than martial arts masters, but that's only in the early stages. In the end, who wins and who loses depends on their individual abilities."

He consumed the Supreme Marrow Cleansing Pill and received immense benefits, including innate superhuman strength similar to that of Xiang Yu.

Therefore, Li Xiuyuan's Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms possessed immense power.

But when it really comes to the end, it remains to be seen which of the three thousand Great Daos will prevail!

Upon hearing this, Xiaoyaozi exclaimed, "Oh, I see!"

He sighed inwardly, realizing that despite his hard work for most of his life, he was still no match for someone with only a mediocre skill level in martial arts.

Li Xiuyuan continued, "Besides martial arts and cultivation, there is another method: physical immortality."

what?

Physical sainthood.

All three knew they didn't understand, so they let the other person continue.

Li Xiuyuan said, "That's right, it's physical body becoming a saint. In ancient times, the twelve ancestral witches only cultivated their physical bodies, not their primordial spirits. But their combat power was extremely strong, and the entire world was shattered by the witch and demon races..."

He paused and then said, "Physical sainthood, in your words, is like a martial art of external training, but apart from the great god Pangu who created the world, no one has ever truly become a saint in this way."

Even the Twelve Ancestral Witches were only at the peak of their Ancestral Witch status.

Xiaoyaozi said, "So that's how it is! It seems we were all frogs in a well all along."

Li Xiuyuan thought to himself that there was actually a fourth method he knew, which was the law of cultivation. However, few people succeeded with this method, so there was no need to tell Xiaoyaozi.

The path of martial arts is one that no one has ever walked. The martial arts masters in the martial arts world are just ordinary experts. This is the most difficult of the four cultivation methods because no one has ever walked this path, so it is difficult to find a reference!

As for achieving physical immortality, it is extremely difficult, but there are successful examples. However, those are the great god Pangu and some chaotic demon gods before the creation of the world.

On the contrary, the path of spiritual cultivation has the most followers. In addition, the successful examples of the previous sages provide a reference for later generations, making it easier than the other methods of cultivation.

After all, there are all sorts of martial arts techniques.

Li Xiuyuan pondered for a moment and said, "Brother Xiaoyao, please don't say that. You've already done a remarkable job to get to this point without any help."

Unlike Li Xiuyuan, Xiaoyaozi possesses a system and has created several martial arts techniques. He is only one step away from breaking through to become a Celestial.

Chapter 10 Refining Tiger Meat

Xiaoyaozi shook his head and said, "I have a request that I cannot make, and I hope Daoji will grant it!"

Upon hearing this, Li Xiuyuan nodded and replied, "As long as it's within my power, Brother Dao, you don't need to be so polite."

Although Xiaoyaozi is only a Grandmaster-level expert, he has achieved this level through his own efforts, which shows great perseverance. If he can get the right opportunity, he will probably soar to great heights. It's a good time to befriend him now.

After all, in this world where immortals and demons coexist, anything is possible.

Xiaoyaozi pondered and said, "This is my disciple Wu Xingyun. She cultivates the Eight Desolations and Six Directions Supreme Technique. Although this technique is extremely powerful, it has one inconvenience."

That means that every thirty years, one needs to be rejuvenated once.

After rejuvenation, one's power will revert to its original state. To regain it, one must practice daily, with each day lasting a year. Moreover, one must drink fresh blood at noon to practice.

"Those who practice this skill will forever maintain the figure of a young girl."

He was a good master, and after witnessing Daoji's abilities, he naturally wanted to do his best for his disciple. If he could resolve her hidden dangers, that would be even better.

As for asking Li Xiuyuan to guide him into cultivation, he would never bring up that, even though he desired immortality.

However, everyone's secrets are very valuable and won't be given to you for no reason. But if you can help with this small favor, I'm afraid the other party won't refuse!

Li Xiuyuan nodded upon hearing this and replied, "Okay, I'll take a look at her later, but I can only do my best!"

Although he agreed, he didn't make empty promises. If he could really help Wu Xingyun, he wouldn't hold back.

Xiaoyaozi nodded and smiled, "Xingyun, why don't you go and thank Master Daoji?"

As he spoke, he patted the bewildered Wu Xingyun.

Wu Xingyun then came to his senses and said gratefully, "Thank you very much, Master!"

She had been troubled by her figure for many years, and now that there was a glimmer of hope, she wanted to give it a try.

Li Xiuyuan said calmly, "I haven't even helped yet! No need to thank me in time."

Xiaoyaozi laughed and said, "These things are bound to happen sooner or later."

He naturally looked on with the greatest hope.

At this moment, Li Canghai brought up the food, and in no time, several dishes were served. If you count carefully, there were four dishes in total. Finally, Wu Yazi came forward. The stone table was already full of wine and dishes. He carried the last delicious dish, roasted tiger leg.

The tiger leg had already been roasted to a golden brown, covered with large amounts of spices, and its rich aroma filled the air.

Upon seeing this, Li Xiuyuan laughed heartily and said, "Very well, the food and wine here are of excellent quality, so I won't stand on ceremony!"

As he spoke, he was about to pick up his chopsticks. As a foodie, he was naturally tempted by the delicious food.

Wu Yazi's culinary skills far surpass those of the people at Lingyin Temple. Even Li Xiuyuan can only compare to him when it comes to grilling meat.

But after eating too much barbecue, it's naturally nice to enjoy some other delicious food.

Upon hearing this, Xiaoyaozi laughed and said, "No need to be so polite!"

As he spoke, he gestured for several disciples to sit down.

Li Xiuyuan had already picked up his chopsticks; the bowl contained roasted beef strips, which were very fragrant but didn't seem particularly special.

The other bowl contained a clear, emerald-green broth with dozens of bright red cherry blossoms floating in it, along with seven or eight pink petals.

The soup is served on a bed of tender bamboo shoot pieces, the red, white and green colors complementing each other beautifully. The soup has a delicate lotus leaf fragrance, suggesting that it was made with lotus leaves.

There were also two bowls containing smoked frog legs, a whole eight-treasure duck, and a pile of snow-white silver thread rolls.

Li Xiuyuan is not picky about meat or vegetables. He picked up two strips of beef with his chopsticks, put them in his mouth, and felt that his mouth was full of deliciousness, which was definitely not ordinary beef.

Each chew brings a different flavor, sometimes rich and tender, sometimes sweet and crisp, a variety of tastes that are ever-changing, just like the endless moves of a martial arts master, unpredictable to others.

Li Xiuyuan exclaimed, "Delicious!"

As he spoke, he scooped up two cherry blossoms with a spoon and put them in his mouth. He felt that the freshness of the lotus leaf, the freshness of the bamboo shoots, and the sweetness of the cherry blossoms were beyond words.

Li Xiuyuan had rarely tasted such delicious food in this world.

Everyone saw Li Xiuyuan enjoying his meal immensely, especially since it seemed a bit incongruous to see a monk drinking and eating meat! But as long as the guest was happy, that was all that mattered; as for the monk breaking the precepts, that was for Buddha to deal with.

Xiaoyaozi chuckled and said, "Brother Daoji, if you find it delicious, please eat as much as you like!"

As he spoke, he picked up two pieces of meat and began to eat.

Li Xiuyuan said while eating, "Brother Xiaoyao, don't worry, I never hold back when it comes to food."

As he spoke, he picked up a piece of tiger meat from the side and swallowed it. He found it to be oily and smooth, a rare delicacy.

Furthermore, the abundant essence contained in the tiger meat was also helpful to Li Xiuyuan. He closed his eyes slightly, circulated the Great Sun Tathagata Sutra, and in an instant, the essence was transformed into his own true energy.

Although it only added a tiny bit, it's better than nothing!

Li Xiuyuan smiled slightly and said, "The abundant essence contained in this tiger meat will be of great benefit to the girls if they eat more of it."

As he spoke, he continued to pick up more meat and eat.

Upon hearing this, Wu Xingyun, Li Qiushui, and Li Canghai immediately picked up the tiger meat with their chopsticks, parted their lips slightly, and put the tiger meat into their mouths. Needless to say, the taste was wonderful!

As soon as the tiger meat entered their stomachs, they felt a surge of energy flowing into their limbs and bones, and they felt their internal strength increase significantly, equivalent to a day's worth of hard training.

Once the three women realized this, they ate with incredible speed and skill, their faces turning red in no time.

Even Xiaoyaozi started to try it out, experiencing the effects of the tiger meat and eating it. As for Wuyazi, needless to say, he did too.

Li Xiuyuan said calmly, "If you all continue eating, I'm afraid your bodies won't be able to handle it. You should eat less!"

Among the three, Li Qiushui's dignified yet slightly childish face was flushed with a large blush. She licked her tongue, as if she wanted to eat more.
