Chapter 18 Gluttony

"Really, really?"

Lin Chen was ecstatic, and he even stammered a little when he spoke. The nervousness that followed was far greater than the previous desperate fight with the Raging Lion.

"It's true, but it's ...... This exercise is based on the ancient path of refining the body. Xi Rou reminded, "Do you know about body refining?"

"I don't know, but it doesn't matter. Lin Chen shook his head again and again.

"If it's not important, why does Xiaorou remind you again and again, and why hide it for you. Xi Chongwu was not angry and said: "The so-called body refining is mainly to cultivate one's own body. Once it reaches the extreme, it can even be compared to those spirit beasts. A long time ago, the route taken by martial artists was mainly based on body refining. For those who are strong, their physical strength is not much worse than that of top-level spirit beasts. With his body alone, he can resist high-grade spiritual weapons. ”

"The biggest reason why body refining has been abandoned is that people are always congenitally deficient, even if the physical body reaches the extreme, it is still inferior to the most powerful spirit beast. On the contrary, using oneself as a medium, drawing on the power of heaven and earth, and borrowing the rules of the Great Dao for one's own use is the best development of human martial artists. It is precisely because of the exploration and changes of the predecessors that countless real strong people have emerged over the years. ”

"These powerhouses, killing those top-level spirit beasts is as easy as killing chickens and dogs. This would have been unthinkable in ancient times. ”

"Can't you practice both?" Lin Chen said curiously.

"The main cultivation body also needs to perceive the general trend of heaven and earth to break through, and it also needs to use the qi of heaven and earth to resist the enemy. Majoring in Qi training, the physical body should also be tempered and strengthened. The two themselves are you and me, and I have you, but there is a priority. The two go hand in hand, and the result is only a waste of time and nothing. Because another disadvantage of refining the body is that it is time-consuming and laborious, and the improvement of strength is extremely slow. ”

After a pause, Xi Chongwu continued: "With the same root bone and talent, it will take ten years for a martial artist with the main cultivation body to break through to the first level of the Xuan Rank. And a martial artist who majors in Qi cultivation can do it in three years at most. Moreover, this is also the premise that the martial artist of the main cultivation body has a large number of heavenly and earthly treasures. Otherwise, the gap could even be tenfold or twenty. ”

"To sum up, refining the body is more difficult than refining qi, or even ten times or twenty times more difficult?" Lin Chen asked.

Xi Chongwu nodded: "And it is equivalent to giving up the opportunity to reach the peak." ”

"That's better than not being able to break through the Xuan Rank, right?" Lin Chen asked.

Xi Chongwu was speechless, opened his mouth, and wanted to refute it, but found that he couldn't refute it with half a word.

People who have no hope of even breaking through the Xuan Rank, why do they care about the slow improvement of their strength, let alone give up the opportunity to reach the peak.

"Xiao Rou, can you teach me?" Lin Chen looked at Xi Rou with anticipation on his face.

Xi Rou hesitated for a moment, but still nodded her head. It's not that she is unwilling to teach Lin Chen, but she always feels that a heroic character like Lin Chen should not imprison herself and give up the right to achieve the peak.

If it weren't for knowing that Lin Chen's meridians and internal organs were damaged, and her talent was indeed too poor, she wouldn't necessarily tell her how to refine her body.

After all, miracles are made by people. Roots and understanding are not necessarily eternal. Some extremely rare heavenly and earthly treasures, after taking them, can improve the root bones and comprehension of martial artists.

"Great, then teach me now?" Lin Chen couldn't help himself.

"Okay, Grandpa Wu, please clean up. Xi Rou handed the dagger to Xi Chongwu.

Although Xi Chongwu was not happy, he did not refuse.

Lin Chen was overjoyed, and walked quickly to Xirou's side, his body that was still in pain before could no longer feel any pain.

"Are you sure you want to learn it? Although this exercise belongs to the Nine Rank Exercises, a martial artist who is really aspiring to the peak of Ling Deng will not care at all. Back then, I was just curious about what was going on with the refining body, so I watched it again. After that, even though the exercises I learned were only eight grades, I never thought of learning these nine grades. Xirou reconfirmed.

Lin Chen only felt a huge pie slam on his head, shocking him so much that he almost hugged Xirou and kissed him.

Actually, it's still the most awesome nine-grade exercise!

"Learn, learn sure, and learn even if you die!"

The bullshit Ling is at the pinnacle, and moving forward step by step is the last word. If you can't break through the Xuan Rank, what else can you talk about?

As for refining the body, it is not as high as the achievements of other people's qi training...... I can always think of a solution, just like a quarter of an hour ago, it was still difficult for me to break through to the Xuan Level, and now there is already a solution!

"By the way, refining the body helps to break through the realm?" Lin Chen suddenly remembered, whether it was Xi Chongwu or Xi Rou, he didn't explain why refining the body would be easier to break through the realm than Qi training.

"The comprehension is really bad!" Not far away, Xi Chongwu couldn't help but shake his head: "Refining the body and majoring in the body, when the strength of the body reaches the extreme, whether it is the mystery of the aura or the comprehension of the Great Dao of Heavenly Principles, it will be deeper than ordinary people." ”

"I still don't understand...... Lin Chen was ashamed.

"Rotten wood can't be carved!" Xi Chongwu turned his head and ignored it.

Lin Chen was speechless, and his gaze couldn't help but drift to Xirou.

Xi Rou organized her language and explained: "To put it simply, breaking through the realm is like climbing over a mountain. The main cultivation body is to climb to the top of the mountain step by step. The main practice of Qi is to prepare to jump from the bottom of the mountain and directly climb over this mountain. Comparatively, it is naturally easier to climb over this mountain after reaching the top of the mountain, because it is only one step or two steps away. It is precisely because of this that the time spent by the main cultivation body may be several times or even dozens of times that of the main cultivation qi. ”

Lin Chen suddenly realized that he finally understood.

"I'll sort out the exercises first, and then I'll teach you slowly. ”

After thinking about it, Xi Rou decided to sort out all the slightly difficult parts of the exercises first, and then slowly teach them to Lin Chen.

There is no way, Lin Chen's understanding is simply a bit miserable.

The difference between having a master to teach and not being taught by a master is here, but whenever she encounters something profound and difficult to understand, Xirou can always analyze it for him in simple and easy-to-understand words. Although the whole article is only a few hundred words, most of them are easy to understand. But if you really want Lin Chen to comprehend and understand it by himself, it will take at least ten days and half a month.

And right now, Lin Chen had a complete understanding in less than half an hour.

This nine-grade exercise, called gluttonous formula, who created it is unknown, the whole article is just one word - eat!

Any spirit beast spiritual material, as long as it can be eaten, the gluttony can transform it into the purest spiritual power.

"I haven't barbecued meat for many years, Xiao Rou, let's eat it!" Just when Lin Chen was learning the gluttonous trick and was getting excited, on the other side, Xi Chongwu finally roasted the berserk lion meat.

After cutting the best piece and putting it on a plate, Xi Chongwu sent it to Xi Rou.

Xi Rou thanked him and said a little apologetically: "Trouble Grandpa Wu." ”

"It's just a barbecue, what's the trouble. Xi Chongwu shook his head, his eyes full of love. But as soon as he turned around, when he saw Lin Chen, his eyes changed to unpleasant.

Lin Chen grinned, it was better to come early than to come at a good time.

In the eyes of others, the furious lion meat is also delicious, and it has the effect of strengthening the body after eating. For Lin Chen, who had learned the gluttonous trick, the value of this raging lion meat could be increased by at least a hundredfold.

When Xi Chongwu cut out his share, Lin Chen immediately stepped forward, and he didn't care about the hot hands, he directly tore off a large piece and stuffed it into his mouth.

The mouth is hot, and with it, it is tender and delicious.

A large piece of furious lion meat, which was four or five catties, was eaten by Lin Chen in a moment.

The stomach seemed to bulge a lot.

Without any hesitation, Lin Chen quickly sat cross-legged, and according to the gluttonous exercise route, he controlled that less than half of the spiritual power in the dantian had poured into the meridians due to the battle with the Berserk Lion.

One week, two weeks, three weeks......

Every week, the spiritual power that returned to the dantian increased significantly. In just five weeks, the spiritual power reached a state of abundance. That speed was not inferior to taking the Qi Replenishing Pill.

As he continued to cultivate, Lin Chen's abdomen was drying up at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The excess spiritual power generated every day of the week seeps out of the meridians on its own and escapes in all parts of the body, constantly nourishing every part of the body.

The injuries from the battle with the Raging Lion are recovering rapidly. The blood scars on the scratches on the chest fell one after another. The damaged internal organs are completely restored as before. Every time he breathed, Lin Chen felt extremely happy and comfortable.

In less than half an hour, a whole piece of berserk lion meat was completely digested.

When he opened his eyes, Lin Chen even felt that his stomach was empty, and there was a faint feeling of hunger. But unlike normal hunger, he is now in good spirits, and his body seems to have inexhaustible strength.

That feeling, I can't wait for another berserk lion. Beat it into a puree first, then cook a pot of fragrant broth.

"The ......"

"There's a lot of barbecue, you can eat whatever you want. We'll leave it to you too, and you can roast it whenever you want. Xi Chongwu said lightly: "Since I already know that my strength is far higher than yours, naturally there is no need for you to send us to the other end of Lingyun Mountain, we still have something to do when we go back to Lingyun City, so we will go first." ”

"Do you want to go back to Lingyun City?" Lin Chen was stunned and said, "Can't you wait for me to do something good and then go back together?" The place I went to was on Lingyun Mountain, and it only took three or five days to get there. ”

"Grandpa Wu, Brother Chen only has the Yellow Rank Sevenfold, if he encounters a powerful spirit beast, he may not be able to deal with it. Xi Rou proposed, "It's just a few days of delay, so we might as well go with him." ”

"Delay for a few days......" Xi Chongwu sighed and said helplessly: "I don't like this kid, but that's not the reason why I have to go." You don't know, Grandpa Wu...... There aren't many three or five days left. ”

Xirou was silent.
