Ordinary people can also be extraordinary

After Zhang Chen and the other two returned, they discussed their experience in cultivation, and Wang Dong and Bai Yunyun continued to practice in their rooms. Zhang Chen was going to find Sima Feng, as he wanted to ask him about body cultivation.

Zhang Chen also went to consult the uncle who guarded the Gongfa Pavilion, and was told that the sect did not have any cultivation methods for body training. Because absorbing spiritual energy into the body will continuously improve the physical constitution, and no matter how strong the body is, it cannot resist the magic weapon, so the sect did not conduct research in this area because it felt that it was unnecessary.

At the top of Zixia Peak, a man in a blue robe flew into the hall at the top of the peak.

"Ancestor, Xiao Yi has reached the first level of Qi Condensation. It only took him two days." The middle-aged man excitedly reported to a man who was practicing with his eyes closed in front of the hall.

"Xiao Yi? Is he the prince I saw in the palace last month? My descendant?"

The man opened his eyes, and a flash of cold light flashed across his eyes. He looked to be about 25 years old, handsome, and exuded a faint sense of oppression as he sat there. His eyes were deep and cold, revealing a maturity that was totally inconsistent with his age. This was Xiao Che, the great elder of Qingyu Sect, who was in the late Jindan stage.

"Yes, ancestor. You thought he had good talent at the beginning, and now it is true." This middle-aged man is also an elder and a descendant of the Xiao royal family. His name is Xiao Yunshen. Anyone who enters the Jindan stage of Qingyu Sect can become an elder.

"Two days? I've seen his qualifications. Has he taken the elixir?" Xiao Che stared at Xiao Yunshen with sharp eyes.

Xiao Yunshen's forehead was covered with cold sweat. "Grandfather, I gave him the elixir to stabilize his realm in the future, but I didn't expect that Junior Brother Xiao would lose his temper."

"How ignorant and stupid. Just for the sake of a short-term gain, using elixirs to improve your realm now is like forcing things to happen, which will affect your future cultivation aptitude." Xiao Che showed a trace of dissatisfaction on his face.

"Junior Brother Xiao is also young at heart, so it's inevitable that he's a little competitive." Xiao Yunshen quickly spoke up for Xiao Yi.

"Give him this pill, it can repair the hidden injuries in his body caused by forcefully improving his realm. And tell him to practice honestly. I have seen many geniuses in cultivation, and many who are stronger than me, but in the end, I am the only one who lived the longest." Then Xiao Che waved his hand and told Xiao Yunshen to leave.

In Xiao Yi's room, where new disciples live, Xiao Yunshen was talking to him.

"The ancestor was very dissatisfied with your forced breakthrough and told me not to argue about who is better. Besides, he was born a low-class person. We have the ancestor here. How can he be better than you in the future?" Xiao Yunshen comforted him.

"Yes, senior brother, I was impulsive at the moment. Please help me thank the ancestor for the medicine!" Xiao Yi bowed to Xiao Yunshen.

"Nephew, there's no need to be so polite. We all have the surname Xiao, so we are a family. I'll leave first. When the one-month period is up, I'll have someone pick you up to Zixia Peak." After Xiao Yunshen finished speaking, a surge of spiritual energy surged from his body and rushed straight into the sky.

Many newcomers saw it and started whispering.

"You can fly without the help of external forces. I heard that this is something only great monks who have reached the Jindan stage can do." A young man in the crowd looked at the sky with a shocked expression.

"Yeah, I wonder when we can reach such a level of cultivation."

Many people in the crowd were envious and dreamed of this day. Everyone looked at Xiao Yi with more respect. With such a high talent and such a background, how could others compare to him?

At the top of the back mountain, Zhang Chen sat on the ground with his eyes closed and practiced. He heard that Sima Feng would definitely pass by here today, so he was waiting for him here.

About an hour later, a heavy breathing sound came from a distance. Zhang Chen opened his eyes and knew that Sima Feng had come.

Sure enough, in a short while, Sima Feng arrived, his forehead covered with sweat, breathing heavily. It seemed that no one knew how long he had been exercising.

"Senior Brother Sima," Zhang Chen immediately saluted with his fists clasped.

"Are you the man from this morning? You are an entry-level disciple, and you bow to a menial disciple like me. If this gets out, people will laugh to death." Sima Feng waved his hand and found a place to sit down and rest.

"I have heard about Senior Brother Sima. I admire him very much, so I am waiting here today just to ask him for advice." Zhang Chen bowed again and saluted Sima Feng.

"It's not really a request for advice, just go ahead and speak." Sima Feng responded indifferently.

"I would like to ask Brother Sima how your physical training is going. I am more interested in what you said about training from the outside to the inside." Zhang Chen looked serious.

"I can only say that I have made some small achievements. Cultivation from the outside to the inside is just a concept. I haven't figured out how to do it yet?" Sima Feng looked at Zhang Chen and said.

"Then Senior Brother Sima, please teach me how to train my body. My aptitude is poor and I also want to give it a try." Zhang Chen said seriously.

"I'm afraid you can't stick to my method, and I don't have any experience to follow. And it may not be suitable for you." Sima Feng looked at Zhang Chen's thin body.

"I can still persevere through some hardship. I have to try to know if it's suitable for me." Zhang Chen clenched his fists.

"Are you afraid of death?" Sima Feng suddenly asked, and then stared at Zhang Chen.

Zhang Chen's heart skipped a beat, and he said hesitantly: "I'm afraid."

Sima Feng said calmly: "Just be afraid of death. If you are not afraid of death, I can't teach you this way."

"Why is this?" Zhang Chen asked.

"Because what you want to try is to survive from death. Do you still want to try?" Sima Feng looked at Zhang Chen quietly, waiting for his decision.

"I want to," Zhang Chen said firmly. His qualifications were poor, so he must try other methods.

"If that's the case, and you want to try it, then follow me." Sima Feng stood up and walked down the other side of the mountain. Zhang Chen immediately followed.

They walked down the mountain along the mountain road and entered the forest behind the mountain. Zhang Chen grew up in a mountain village and was very familiar with the forest. However, they walked further and further, and gradually Zhang Chen could not keep up. There was no road in the forest, and they had to cross ditches, climb rocks, and drill thorns from time to time. After about two hours, they came to a flat area. There was a very simple house built with wood on it.

"Senior Brother Sima, where is this?" Zhang Chen was already sweating all over and very tired, so he sat down on the ground.

"This is where I usually sleep and exercise!" Sima Feng said lightly.

"Brother Sima, you live here? Why don't you live in the quarters for menial disciples?" Zhang Chen was very curious.

"It's inconvenient to live over there. Here you can do whatever you want and no one will interfere with you." Sima Feng is very satisfied with where he lives.

"There shouldn't be any wild animals here. We are at least dozens of miles away from where we lived before." Zhang Chen looked around and was a little worried.

"It's just right that the wild beasts are coming. It's the time to practice and face desperate situations to stimulate people's potential. Why are you scared? But it will be more dangerous for you to go back now." Sima Feng said to Zhang Chen.

"Since I've already made up my mind to come here, I won't think too much about it." Zhang Chen's eyes were firm.

"Then let's get started"

After Sima Feng finished speaking, he walked into the wooden house, opened the room, and took out some iron blocks and some cloth bags. He put the iron blocks in the cloth bags and tied them all to Zhang Chen's abdomen, thighs, and ankles.

"It's so heavy, it weighs at least 30 kilograms." Zhang Chen stretched his legs and feet, and it was a little difficult for him to walk.

"You can't take these iron blocks off even when you sleep. Wait until you get used to the weight and can move freely, then continue to add more. Now you can practice first." Sima Feng instructed.

Zhang Chen immediately crossed his legs and started practicing. The weight on his waist and abdomen made him feel uncomfortable.

Sima Feng dragged a bear thigh out of the room and began to grill it in a pit in front of the house. Judging from the thick traces of wood ash left in the pit, it seemed that Sima Feng often grilled wild animals here.

Slowly the bear leg was roasted until it was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. A scent of it drifted towards Zhang Chen. Sima Feng sprinkled some seasoning on it, took the bear leg off, and called Zhang Chen over to eat with him.

Zhang Chen walked over slowly step by step. He hadn't eaten for more than three hours today and had walked such a long distance that he was already starving.

"Do 50 splits, 50 jumping on the spot, and 50 sit-ups before you can eat." Sima Feng ordered immediately.

"Ah, Senior Brother Sima, I have difficulty walking now, and my stomach is growling with hunger. I feel so tired. How about I eat first before doing it?" Zhang Chen asked in a negotiating manner.

"No, if you can't do that, forget about eating. You can only sleep outside at night." Sima Feng showed no sign of negotiation.

Seeing this, Zhang Chen had no choice but to do it. When he was done, his eyes were dark and he was about to pass out. Sima Feng threw the bear leg, which was less than half eaten, to Zhang Chen. He picked it up and ate it completely on instinct. After eating, he lay on the ground motionless, wanting to fall into a deep sleep.

"Get up and go to the room to meditate and practice. If you fall asleep like this and carry the weight, you'll easily suffocate to death." Sima Feng kicked Zhang Chen.

Zhang Chen slowly moved into the house, barely climbed onto the wooden bed, and sat cross-legged to practice. He felt tired and sleepy and could not hold on any longer.

"Now you have to adapt to this situation, so that your body can cultivate itself even when you are asleep. Think about your parents and yourself, and you will definitely be able to do it." Sima Feng encouraged from the side.
