Godlike: With my extraordinary comprehension, I have reached the pinnacle of martial arts!

His body was full of vital energy, and his face was radiant, as if he had taken a powerful tonic, making his body's energy incredibly abundant.

"Now my body is getting stronger and stronger, and my skin is as tight as cowhide. When my skin turns bronze, I should have completed the skin training."

After finishing his boxing practice, Li Dao stood on the edge of the cliff, looking down at the bottomless precipice with a calm expression.

For several days, he practiced boxing on the edge of the cliff every day. After finishing, he would look down at the cliff to boost his courage.

Now, Li Dao has gained some courage to face death, unlike before when the sight of the bottomless abyss below the cliff would send shivers down his spine and fill him with fear.

Stealing the secrets of heaven is not easy to master; a slight mistake can lead to falling off a cliff and dying without a trace.

After several days of trying, Li Dao still didn't dare to get too close to the edge of the cliff. After all, he could distinguish between testing his courage and courting death.

After leaving the back mountain, Li Dao went straight down the mountain. The Taoist temple was out of rice, so he needed to go down the mountain to buy some.

As his strength gradually increased, Li Dao's movements became more and more agile. With each step, he covered a distance of ten feet, his figure as swift and nimble as a cheetah.

Even the wind was whistling in my ears, and the speed was two minutes faster than yesterday.

Li Dao went to the farmers' market and bought several bags of rice and some meat with a long shelf life before returning to the Taoist temple.

Just as he finished putting the ingredients in, he noticed that the water tank was empty, so Li Dao picked up two buckets and went down the mountain again.

There is a small lake near Longyun Mountain. He travels back and forth there several times a month. The water that Li Dao has been drinking since childhood also comes from this lake.

Li Dao carried a bucket to the lakeside. The lake water was clear, and he could clearly see the fish swimming in it.

The two buckets were submerged in the lake, and when they were lifted out, they were full of water. Li Dao then left the place.

Li Dao has made significant progress in cultivating the Dragon Tiger Body Refining Technique. His muscles and bones are strong, and his limbs are powerful. Even when carrying dozens of kilograms of water in each hand, he can still walk on flat ground as if on flat ground.

……

He went back and forth like this several times until dusk in the afternoon, when the water vat in the Taoist temple was finally filled, and Li Dao began to cook a meal on the back mountain.

Because Li Dao practices martial arts, his appetite is greater than before; he can eat the equivalent of several people, and a few bags of rice are enough for him to eat for several days.

"We need to find other ways to make money as soon as possible. Selling sachets alone won't be enough to support us. We must find new sources of income as soon as possible."

"If all else fails, I guess I could take out a high-interest loan and use the money to pay off the bank loan, and the rest of the money would be mine."

"With my current strength, I can easily take on ten people at once. Those loan sharks can't beat me, and they certainly wouldn't dare to sue me."

"After all, their hands aren't clean. If they really sue me, they'll get themselves into a mess, maybe even end up working as sewing machines."

"Well, what I'm doing can be considered as eliminating a scourge for the people."

Li Dao's eyes grew brighter as he spoke, and by the end, they were filled with eagerness. His mind opened up in just a few seconds; it could only be said that his mindset from his previous life had been holding him back.

Li Dao always kept his word. After quickly finishing his meal, he rushed back to the Taoist temple, driven by Xiao Hei's curiosity, and changed into the clothes he had bought a few days ago.

After removing his Taoist robes, Li Daocai took out his phone, logged into a loan app, and started taking advantage of every illegitimate loan platform.

I am doing this to rid the people of harm. Today, all these things that harm the people will be stored in my sleeve.

After Li Dao finished his exploitation, he had several hundred thousand yuan in his bank account. After paying back the bank, he still had more than two hundred thousand yuan left.

It could be described as a windfall, but behind it all was the silent contribution of the lender.

Loan platform: "..."

At this time, the sky gradually darkened, and night covered the sky.

Li Dao changed back into his Taoist robe, offered incense to the Three Pure Ones with satisfaction, then took out one hundred yuan to donate to the donation box before sitting down to meditate and cultivate.

During the day, one practices the Dragon Tiger Body Refining Exercise, and at night, one naturally practices breathing techniques, combining movement and stillness to achieve great progress.

Dragon Tiger Body Refining Exercise is a type of dynamic exercise, while the breathing method is a basic static exercise.

Breathing exercises and meditation are processes of cultivating the mind and calming the spirit, aiming to make oneself peaceful, neither arrogant nor impatient.

"Meow."

Xiao Hei lay down next to Li Dao and fell asleep within seconds.

"Ow~"

Just then, a loud and melodious whistle rang out.

Li Dao suddenly opened his eyes, his voice heavy: "How...how could there be wolves here?"

Chapter 9 Enlightenment!

Night departs, and the sun rises.

Li Dao slowly awoke from the meditation cushion. After a night of cultivation, he not only did not feel tired, but even felt refreshed and full of energy.

Little Blackie woke up as well, stretched, and then walked to the threshold, looking warily at the Taoist temple gate with its cat-like eyes.

Li Dao did not go out to check last night to prevent the wolf from ambushing him.

Although he is close to achieving the perfection of his skin-training technique and is stronger than a normal person, he is still a wolf, and possibly a very ferocious wolf.

It's dangerous for an ordinary person to face a wolf. Even if you think you're stronger than a normal person, you're only slightly stronger. If you really face a wolf, you still have to run.

Moreover, Li Dao knew that wolves are social animals. If it wasn't the howling of a wolf pack, then there must have been a lone wolf wandering around nearby last night.

A lone wolf is many times more dangerous than any other wolf. After all, a lone wolf has no pack to back it up, and to survive, it has to be more ferocious and cunning than other wolves.

Li Dao wasn't confident he could kill him; the lone wolf was quite intelligent, and if he escaped, he had to be prepared for the possibility of a counterattack.

"Forget it, leave professional matters to professionals. I'll just continue my training."

As he spoke, Li Dao took out his phone and called the police station. After explaining the situation, he hung up the phone and went straight to the courtyard to begin his cultivation for the day.

Sweat poured down, skin turned red, and the skin membrane tightened and contracted, as if it were about to close its pores. If you looked closely, you could see individual hairs standing on end.

The blood and qi were washing over and tempering Li Dao's skin, gradually making it thick and tough. The skin beneath the surface was a deep red, as if it had been forged and hammered by fire.

Gradually, the membrane became more and more perfect, and a faint bronze membrane appeared. Although it did not cover the whole body, it proved that Li Dao's guess was correct.

Copper skin and gnarled flesh, steel bones and iron body, red blood and jade marrow.

A moment.

Li Dao's face was ruddy and radiant, his hands were bright red, and his whole body resembled a steamed shrimp, with wisps of steam rising from the top of his head.

"We're getting closer and closer to the realm of copper skin."

Li Dao stopped practicing, looking at the bronze color that his arms had developed due to the flow of qi and blood, and felt a sense of anticipation for the completion of the skin-refining stage: "Continue to cultivate."

……

Soon it was afternoon.

During this period, the police came once and then led a team to search the mountain.

However, the police have not yet given a response, so Li Dao is not in a hurry and continues to cultivate slowly in the courtyard.

Li Dao guessed that he was very close to reaching the Copper Skin Realm, and that in another day or two, he should be completely perfected, and his strength would undergo a transformation.

Li Dao glanced at the sky: "I wonder if they caught that wolf. Oh well, we definitely can't go to the back mountain now, but we can try practicing boxing on the roof."

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Dao brought over a ladder.

The Taoist temple was built on a mountain, and no ladders were provided. If the eaves were damaged, one had to climb up to repair them, which was extremely inconvenient.

Li Dao climbed the ladder to the eaves, and his view was breathtaking; he could even see... wolves?

With his exceptional eyesight, Li Dao could see the wolf lurking near the Taoist temple. It was a one-eyed wolf with dark gray fur and several wounds on its body, suggesting it was an old wolf king.

Because this wolf was larger and stronger than a typical gray wolf, it was probably old and had been defeated and driven away by the new wolf king.

Just as Li Dao was about to call the police, the one-eyed wolf king seemed to sense his gaze, let out a low whimper, and then darted into the dark old forest.

Seeing this, Li Dao had no choice but to give up.

Standing on the roof, Li Dao assumed a boxing stance, and a chill immediately ran through his body. His instinct for danger constantly warned him that this was a dangerous act.

However, if Li Dao dared to box on the edge of a cliff, then boxing on the eaves of a roof was nothing. Falling off would at most result in broken bones, which would be a minor injury to him and not worth mentioning.

"If you can't train to death, then train to death. Before the war breaks out, get stronger quickly, otherwise if you slack off now, you'll be getting lasered later."

Li Dao's eyes were resolute, just like those Taoist priests who sought the Dao, willing to sacrifice everything, even if it meant being shattered to pieces.

In ancient times, there were Taoist priests who practiced martial arts on cliffs, either dying in their pursuit of the Tao or facing death to live.

And now, how similar are Li Dao's actions to those ancient Taoist priests who practiced martial arts and sought the Tao? They are all risking their lives.

The Tai Chi mother frame, the dragon and tiger form.

As Li Dao moved, the roof tiles rang out one after another, but he was not afraid. On the contrary, he practiced with more and more enthusiasm, his eyes bright and firm.

Under the eaves, Xiao Hei stared at the Taoist's madness, frozen in place like a statue, its dark cat eyes filled with astonishment.

The autumn wind swept through, fluttering the Taoist's robes, but it did not shake the Taoist in the slightest.

Yin and Yang in harmony, dragon and tiger intertwined, Li Dao's two arms, like Yin and Yang, dragon and tiger, intertwined and entwined, causing the energy around his body to surge.

As one practices boxing, one's Qi and blood gradually become refined, and one's skin even begins to approach the level of copper skin.

Boxing is a martial art that trains the body. With the addition of Li Dao's philosophy, the boxing skills are improved while also purifying the blood and qi and strengthening the body.

It can be said that moving one part affects the whole situation.

"Dragon and Tiger, Dragon and Tiger, the dragon walks the kingly path, bringing rain to the world and prosperity to the people; the tiger walks the tyrannical path, those who obey me prosper, those who defy me perish, and none in the world dare to disobey..."

Li Daofu focused his mind, making his boxing even more powerful and supple. With his mind and spirit immersed in the boxing, his mind became clear. He took a step and descended the ladder.

Then, Li Dao laughed heartily: "Since you are a Taoist, you should do what you want. You should only practice martial arts for the sake of enjoyment. If a wolf makes me hesitant and timid, how can I achieve great things?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Dao pushed open the door and left the Taoist temple with a majestic gait. He disappeared into the dark woods, leaving Xiao Hei completely bewildered.

Li Dao's five senses were keen. He followed the scent of the one-eyed wolf king and soon saw a wolf lying on the ground, pretending to sleep with its eyes closed.

Swish!

Smelling the human scent, the one-eyed wolf king opened its single eye and saw a Taoist priest standing not far away. It then looked around and saw that there was no one else.

It slowly stood up, looked directly at the Taoist opposite it, and smelled the other's scent. Thick saliva involuntarily dripped from the corners of its mouth.

It wants to eat the Taoist priest across the street!

Then, the one-eyed wolf king started running and pounced on the Taoist priest.

Seeing this, the Taoist showed no fear. He stepped forward, rolled up his arms, his wide sleeves clinging tightly to his arms, and punched out, the wind whistling through his fists.
