Chapter 13: Fifth-Order Changes
After Zhou Luo determined the martial arts method he had chosen, the non-Newtonian fluid in his body that had not been able to form finally condensed into the appearance of a majestic monarch wearing a starry sky robe, and the long sword on his knees was also as he wished, and a thin layer of white mist shrouded in the sky above the long sword was constantly changing the shape of various weapons.
At the moment when the law phase was formed, Zhou Luo's whole body suddenly had an ethereal pleasure of fluttering immortals, as if he wanted to return with the wind.
The True Yuan Power in his body also combined with the aura between heaven and earth at this moment, condensing into a kind of Gangyuan Power that only martial artists of the fifth order and above possessed, becoming more attack-powered, and the power far exceeded the damage that ordinary True Yuan Power could cause.
Before a martial artist reaches the eighth order, this Gang Yuan Qi is the highest level of energy that a martial artist can have in his body, and his essence is very powerful.
With the formation of the power of Gangyuan in Zhou Luo's body, all the bones, internal organs, and even the tips and fingers outside his body were also washed and baptized by the power of the new Gangyuan, and his body continued to discharge various fine impurities and bacteria.
A clear and thorough and immaculate body, this is one of the three mortal abilities that the Fifth Order must possess.
Although this is only the most basic innocent body, it is enough for Zhou Luo to have the extraordinary characteristics of drinking dew and not eating grains.
From now on, Zhou Luo can be regarded as a real transcendent person, and for the first time there is an essential difference between him and the ordinary human race, and even the genes have begun to change, and the genetic similarity with the ordinary human race will not exceed 95%, which is farther than the genetic gap between the gorilla ape and the human, and it can no longer be regarded as a species in the same class of the family.
At the same time, from now on, as long as he is in a world with sufficient aura, even if he does not eat or drink, Zhou Luo can take the initiative to absorb the aura of heaven and earth to synthesize Jinjin Yulu, and there will be no more food troubles, and there will no longer be various physiological excretion troubles.
There is an old saying in the main world, if you want not to die, there is no feces in your intestines; Those who eat grain are cheap and have a short life, those who eat dew have a long and clever life, those who eat qi are immortal, and those who do not eat are immortal.
The dew eater referred to in this refers to the transcendent beings above the fifth order, and if they reach the eighth order, they can feed on all kinds of strange energies between heaven and earth, and no matter what world they enter, they will not be suppressed by the rules of heaven and earth.
Unless they inadvertently fall into the void world where they don't even have a drop of energy, whether it is technology or magic world, the powerhouses of the eighth order can keep their ranks stable and unchanged, and become an absolute big man in any world.
This is the difference between the grain eater, the dew eater, and the gas eater, and it is also the essential difference between three completely different creatures.
This is the meaning of cultivation, which is to enable ordinary beings to get rid of the limitations of the original starting point, and they can achieve a completely different version of themselves through hard work, and are no longer limited by the fragile body.
An ordinary mortal, if he wants to maintain the operation of life, he must absorb and eat all kinds of meat, rice, salt and other mortal substances as nutrients and life energy needed to maintain the operation of the body; If you don't eat for a day, your body will gradually weaken.
And as a cultivated martial artist, if you want to maintain more and more powerful physical strength and increase the internal qi in your body, the food energy required is far beyond that of ordinary people, and the amount of food you eat at each meal is even several times or even dozens of times that of ordinary people.
Under such a terrifying consumption, if you only rely on eating ordinary mortal meat and rice as food, it will take hours just to eat every day.
Even if this martial artist didn't go out to fight and engage in various high-intensity exercises, an ordinary fourth-order martial artist would have enough to eat as much meat as a cow in a day.
And for some martial artists whose cultivation is more advanced and approaching the realm of the fifth-order law phase, the rumors of those advanced martial artists in mortal stories are no longer false, and have become a reality.
But this is only for the ordinary food to eat, and the higher the level of the spiritual material, the less food needs to be eaten.
Eating too much ordinary food is not a good thing, the more ordinary food you eat, the greater the residue produced by these foods, even if the digestion and absorption capacity of the warrior is far beyond that of ordinary people, but the fecal residues excreted every day will be a terrifying amount, not to mention whether the painting style is too indecent, even eating will be a troublesome matter that consumes a lot of time.
It can be said that if only ordinary food is supported, it will be extremely difficult for a martial artist above the fifth order to even live a normal life span of three hundred years.
This has to be done without fighting every day, minimizing exercise, and being able to eat more than 100 tons of ordinary meat the size of a blue whale every day, in order to maintain the basic mobility of a fifth-order martial artist's body.
Once a battle occurs, the food that a fifth-order martial artist needs to consume and devour will be greatly increased, and the daily eclipse of millions of catties of meat will not be a problem.
Under such terrifying consumption, if there were no spiritual energy ingredients, the supply of transcendent food, and the food consumed to support a fifth-order martial artist was enough to feed hundreds of thousands of ordinary mortals and bring down a small country.
In the long history of tens of millions of years ago, there were not a few fifth-order martial artists who slaughtered cities and destroyed the land to seize food because of lack of food.
There are even many records that a fifth-order martial artist who opened mountains and seas and destroyed the city with his hand was reduced to starvation to death because he did not have sufficient food supplies after a fierce battle.
It is precisely because of this that in the main world, the more powerful the sect and the more powerful the martial artists, the more refined and exquisite the food they eat, and even only eat the materials cultivated by the aura, and stay away from ordinary food.
Zhou Luo was just at the stage of building the foundation of the martial arts, forging the first-order body, and cultivating the qi of the second-order, and the rice, noodles, and meat he ate every day had to be made of first-order spiritual materials such as first-order green tooth rice and first-order fierce beast and tooth pig specially cultivated by the sect.
Only in this way can he obtain better absorption and digestion, reduce the excretion of residual feces, and increase the speed of cultivation.
And when his strength advanced to the third-order qi refining stage and became one of the three thousand official disciples of the sect, his food and even clothing went even further.
During this period, what he ate every day was no longer ordinary first-order low-grade ingredients, but second-order spiritual materials that were classified as medium ingredients in the main world, each of which had special effects and extremely high nutritional supply.
For example, the staple food of formal disciples is second-order yellow corn, not only each one is the size of a peanut, but also crystal clear after cooking, soft and glutinous, ordinary people only need to eat a dozen or so to be able to support all the physical consumption of a day, and it is not easy to produce food residues, and long-term food can prevent all diseases.
Another example is the meat of ordinary formal disciples, such as second-order white jade spirit chicken, folded ear wind rabbit, fire spirit pork, etc., which are not only far more delicious than ordinary mortal meat, but also can increase a trace amount of qi and blood and internal qi in the body every time they eat it, greatly improving their cultivation speed.
Even the clothes supplied by the sect on their bodies are woven with silver silk spit by the spirit silkworms, which are warm in winter and cool in summer, which can prevent swords and even ordinary water and fire.
The only drawback is that it is not resistant to dirt, and the silver wire used for only one set of clothes a year is very expensive.
If you want to buy it, a set of clothes woven with spirit silkworm silver silk will cost sixty or seventy sect contribution points, which can make ordinary formal disciples feel distressed to death.
This is only the treatment of formal disciples and ordinary deacons in the middle and lower levels of the sect, and the treatment of elite deacons of the fifth order and the core disciples of the sect is even better than the unbelievable luxury of ordinary mortals.
It is precisely because he grew up in such a noble place in the world that Zhou Luo has the unique arrogant posture of the disciples of the sect, and therefore regards himself as an immortal, and does not regard ordinary mortals in these worlds such as Qing Yu Nian and Zhu Xian as his own.
Because the gap between the two is too great, whether it is in terms of food, clothing, shelter and transportation, or in all other aspects, it is a heaven and a hell.
The reason why Zhou Luo, who first entered the world of Qing Yu Nian, wanted to rush back to the main world in a hurry was also due to the lack of food supply.
It was the first time he had traveled through the world at that time, and he didn't have much experience, and he only had a few Zongmen Bigu Dan on his body as an emergency backup, which made him have to devour half of a roast cow every few days in the Qing Yu Nian World as the reserve energy in his body to prevent himself from starving due to lack of food.
In the process of following Fan Xian to the north, he had no choice but to consume the few Bigu Dan he had.
It was in this situation that he even had problems with eating, and Zhou Luocai was unwilling to stay in the world for a minute to celebrate more than one year, as if he had fallen into a dirty quagmire.
