Li Dao glanced back at the silvery figure in the sky, took out a wing from his sleeve, shook his head with a smile, tossed it away, and continued forward.
The white feathers drifted away in the wind...
The next morning.
Li Dao finished meditating, stood up and stretched, and suddenly his bones cracked. Little Black next to him didn't look up, but changed his position and continued to sleep.
Li Dao walked into the courtyard and looked at the new skin revealed after the dead skin was removed. It was tender and smooth, like white jade with a luster, but it was also firm and tough, thicker and more resilient than the skin membrane before the skin was perfected.
"If the previously guessed perfect skin refinement was copper skin, then it should now be jade skin, smooth as jade and hard as stone."
Li Dao easily moved a large rock, punched it, and with a crack, the rock split open, but his fist remained undamaged, and even the pain was greatly reduced.
Li Dao continued his experiment, taking a kitchen knife and slashing his arm, but instead of creating a wound, he left faint white marks on his arm.
Without giving up, he increased the force even more, leaving a faint bloodstain on his arm, but without breaking the skin.
"It seems that my current defense is so weak that even a normal person holding a weapon would have a hard time threatening me, unless they are armed with a firearm, otherwise they would not be able to harm me at all."
After various membrane tests, Li Dao roughly determined the limits that his membrane could withstand, and then he tested his strength and speed.
"The maximum strength is two thousand jin, the normal strength is nine hundred to one thousand jin. If one has not perfected the skin training, the normal strength is about five or six hundred jin, and the maximum strength can be one thousand jin."
"The speed limit is 15 meters per second. Although it is not entirely accurate, the normal speed is about 10 meters per second. To reach the human limit, one must achieve perfection in the five major physical barriers."
Li Dao thought to himself, "I have now perfected the skin refining stage. The next stage is flesh refining, but the flesh refining stage definitely requires more energy than the skin refining stage."
"Moreover, I haven't tempered my five internal organs yet. If I want to accelerate energy absorption, I need to go back to creating a technique that can speed up digestion, but I have no clue how to do that right now."
Li Dao thought and thought, but even with his extraordinary comprehension, he still had no clue. So he simply decided to cultivate the Dragon Tiger Body Refining Technique, hoping that he might find a clue as he practiced.
As a result, Li Dao felt wisps of blood and qi begin to penetrate his flesh and blood, tempering his entire body and removing impurities. Then, his flesh and blood produced a tingling, itchy sensation.
It was so tempting to scratch, but Li Dao's will was as firm as iron. He resisted the urge to scratch and focused all his mind on tempering his flesh and blood.
Goooo!
However, the next moment, Li Dao's stomach began to rumble, and a sudden feeling of hunger struck him, causing him to end his half-hour cultivation.
Li Dao rubbed his stomach. The Taoist temple only had rice and some vegetables; the meat was all gone. He would have to go down the mountain again for a buffet.
Because only a buffet can meet his energy needs.
We need to create a technique to speed up digestion as soon as possible, otherwise we'll only be able to practice for half an hour each day.
Li Dao went down the mountain again and soon arrived in the city.
Afterwards, Li Dao chose a buffet restaurant, paid the bill, and began to eat to his heart's content.
His arrival startled the store manager, who rushed over. The two chatted for a short while before ending their pleasant conversation.
Li Dao got the privilege of eating for free at this restaurant. After all, eating so much would easily attract attention, and with a little promotion, the customer traffic could skyrocket.
This meal lasted for an hour. Li Dao's digestive ability was too slow, and his internal organs had not yet begun to be tempered, so he could only eat and digest at the same time, and occasionally he would stop to wait for the food to digest.
Li Dao left after finishing his meal, wandering aimlessly. He decided not to return to the Taoist temple for the time being, but wanted to travel around and find the opportunity to create his own cultivation technique.
"Master, would you like to buy a ticket to the zoo? There are many rare and protected animals inside, including lions, tigers, and all sorts of other animals."
As Li Dao was walking, a young girl suddenly handed him a flyer, and he could hear her clear voice.
"A zoo?" Li Dao took the flyer, his eyes falling on the various animals on it. A thought struck him, and after looking at the location of the zoo on the flyer, he stepped away.
The opportunity should lie within that.
Soon, Li Dao found the zoo, bought a ticket, and went inside.
There were quite a few tourists here, wearing sun hats and wandering around.
Li Dao was also strolling around, occasionally glancing at some animals.
Watch the tigers frolic, watch the lions fight, watch the leopards, the peacocks... and finally watch the python swallow an entire antelope, its belly bulging, yet slowly wriggling to digest it.
"Pythons, though their stomachs aren't large, can swallow prey larger than themselves, wriggling their bodies to digest the food in their stomachs..."
Li Daofu was struck by a sudden realization, his mind racing with knowledge and his thoughts working at lightning speed. He stared at the python, completely still.
However, his mind was filled with knowledge of martial arts, boxing, Taoist scriptures, and medical books, and countless sparks of inspiration were flying and rubbing against each other.
Gradually, a technique was created, and it was a technique that imitated the way pythons digest food—the Python Devouring Transformation Technique!
“The myriad phenomena contain profound truths, which I extract from the very forms. This trip has certainly not been in vain.” Li Dao smiled and left the zoo. His mission was accomplished, and there was no need to stay any longer.
Chapter 13 Meat Training
After leaving the zoo, Li Dao went to have a buffet dinner and used the Python Devouring Transformation Technique to store the energy that had just entered his stomach.
This technique was created in imitation of pythons, and naturally includes methods of energy digestion and storage as a reserve of energy for cultivation.
Li Daocai left the store after eating until he could no longer store any energy.
However, when Li Dao walked out of the store, he ran into an acquaintance he had met before, accompanied by two beautiful women, whom he recognized.
Qilin and Lena!
"What a coincidence." Li Dao greeted Qiangwei with a smile when he saw her, but did not slow down. He brushed past her until his figure disappeared into the crowd.
Rose glanced at Li Dao, who had disappeared into the crowd, then looked back at the two women and calmly asked, "Shall we continue shopping or go back?"
"Let's eat first before going back. By the way, Rose, do you know that person?" Lena glanced in the direction Li Dao had left, her beautiful eyes filled with curiosity, and casually asked.
Qi Lin didn't speak. Although she had just awakened the Divine River Warrior gene, it was biased towards the sniper direction. Her sixth sense indicated that the Taoist priest she had just met was a bit strange.
"I guess we know each other," Rose replied casually, glancing at the buffet restaurant next door—Star Harbour Buffet.
“Although that person was just an ordinary person, he always gave me a strange feeling,” Lena said.
Qi Lin nodded: "I feel the same way."
"He's just a charlatan. Aren't you hungry? Hurry up and finish your meal and go back." Rose said to the two women. If it weren't for Lena wanting to go shopping, she wouldn't have wanted to come out at all.
"Oh."
……
the other side.
After blending into the crowd, Li Dao used the Dragon-Tiger Steps to leave Juxia City and returned to the Taoist temple along the steps.
"I didn't expect to run into Du Qiangwei on this trip. It's been a bit bumpy, but as long as we keep it hidden, it'll be fine."
Li Dao entered the Taoist temple and saw that Xiao Hei was still sleeping. He then walked to the middle of the courtyard and began to cultivate.
Currently, Li Dao's body stores a vast amount of energy, enough for his muscle training needs today.
moment.
Strands of qi and blood began to penetrate into the smallest parts, constantly tempering the flesh and blood. A tingling, itchy sensation returned, disturbing Li Dao's mind and giving rise to an urge to tear his heart apart.
"Meditation and martial arts are both ways to temper one's will, making me more determined. With the impending crisis, my will is even more as hard as iron."
Li Dao steadied his mind and remained unwavering, letting the itching ache in his heart. He savored the sensation, thinking to himself.
Before long, Li Daoru's skin turned red and shone with a unique jade-like luster.
However, with his pores constricted, the waste gas could not escape through his pores and could only be expelled through Li Dao's breathing, eventually dissipating into the world.
……
After undergoing a complete tempering of his flesh and blood, Li Dao felt both relaxed and slightly fatigued and sore, as if he had suffered muscle strain due to over-exercising.
Li Dao stopped cultivating and casually walked around to stretch his muscles and relieve his soreness. The soreness subsided by noon.
Muscle building is the process of strengthening muscles, and the biggest benefit of strengthening Qi and blood is that you don't have to worry about leaving hidden ailments, but you will also experience fatigue and soreness.
There is no easy path in martial arts training; only through perseverance and unwavering will can one persevere.
"Is four hours enough to feel relief?"
Li Dao timed the soreness in his body and calculated that four hours was the optimal recovery time. In other words, excluding meals and meditation, he could temper himself four or five times.
"However, the energy I store can only last for three cultivation sessions at most. If I cultivate during the day, I can try meditating and practicing the Starry Breathing Technique at night."
"Although the effect of the Starry Breathing Technique is already very weak for me, even a small mosquito is still meat, and it's good if it can have some effect."
Li Dao sat on the stone stool, looking at the thick peach tree beside him, and thought to himself. Then he stood up and continued his cultivation.
Time flies, dusk fades away, and night falls.
Li Dao finished his cultivation today, and since he still had energy left in his body, he didn't need to eat anymore.
When he has sufficient energy, Li Dao can indeed achieve a state of fasting similar to that of ancient Taoists without needing to eat.
It's tough on Xiao Hei, though, as he has to go out and find food on his own.
"After practicing the boxing, I will meditate and cultivate the Starry Breathing Technique."
Li Dao arrived at the back mountain, took off his shoes, and walked to the edge of the cliff. This time he was even bolder, standing on the steep cliff with his feet only three feet away from the bottomless abyss. He was practically punching against the cliff, which was extremely dangerous.
Even though Li Dao's hair stood on end and his skin wrinkled with goosebumps, his eyes remained calm, like a still, cool spring.
"How can one attain enlightenment without going mad?"
Li Dao understood that the most fundamental fear of human beings is death. Only by personally facing death and surviving it can one have a sense of equanimity towards it.
His original boxing style could no longer stimulate the fear in his heart; he needed a more radical approach to bring that hidden fear to the surface.
And this is how you steal the secrets of heaven!
The night was dark, the moon was covered by a thick layer of clouds, and it was pitch black all around. The forest seemed to be hiding countless eerie places.
The Taoist priest stood on the edge of the cliff, assumed a boxing stance, and began to practice. The dim night revealed a pair of calm eyes, beneath which lay a hint of madness.
The Taoist priest was trembling with excitement, his senses heightened to the point of near-fatal, extremely dangerous situation, yet also possessing a chance to survive against all odds.
When a fist is thrown, it creates a whistling gust of wind; the normal, powerful force tears through the airflow, forming a strong gust of wind.
Although Li Dao was practicing his boxing, a smile played on his lips—a smile born of his intense excitement, for stealing the secrets of heaven was on his mind.
If you make a wrong step and fall off a cliff, it basically means the end of your life.
"That felt great!" After finishing his punch, Li Dao let out a loud laugh, then looked down at the dark abyss below, which resembled the gaping maw of a colossal creature, ready to devour everything.
The clouds drifted away, revealing a waning moon that cast a soft glow upon the starry sky.
Li Dao looked up, his face ruddy yet handsome, his brows sharp and imposing. As he spoke, a calm yet slightly trembling voice rose from his throat:
