375. Chapter 375: The Way of Cultivation
A night of cultivation made Li Yi feel that his body had undergone obvious changes. The silver radiance within his flesh and skin overflowed from the depths of his bone marrow, and was soaking into his blood. After the blood changed, it nourished his internal organs, his physique also became stronger, and even his height had increased.
Besides this, the influence of the gene warrior was still there. Even if Li Yi did nothing, his own body was slowly transforming.
Li Yi felt that it wouldn't be long before he became a muscular giant over two meters tall.
Sure enough, in whatever world one cultivates, one will become a person of that world.
"After possessing the god's bloodline, plus becoming a gene warrior, and also practicing the evolution method, the body's consumption is too great. Just one night and I'm already starving." Li Yi felt that he had become a rice bucket. Drinking several bottles of extraordinary nutrient solution didn't help; at most, it just filled him with water so he wouldn't starve to death.
He must find a better food source, otherwise, the body being in a state of hunger for a long time would affect the progress of his strength.
"I wonder what those powerful people in this world eat?" Li Yi walked out of the room with this thought, intending to have a meal at Xiu Xiang's residence and experience the exotic world's delicacies.
He walked around the large residence.
Relying on his keen sense of smell, he smelled a fragrance of food.
Following this fragrance, Li Yi came to a place similar to a kitchen. Soon, he saw many sturdy servants busy around a large pot. The pot was steaming, rosy clouds were shining, and meat chunks were rolling, emitting a strange fragrance. Just smelling a few mouthfuls made him feel full of energy.
It was hard to imagine how much Qi and blood essence such a piece of meat contained.
"What kind of meat is this?" Li Yi inquired of a servant.
That servant was just about to answer, but saw an old man with white hair and beard, bent back, leaning on an old wooden stick, walk over.
"Nanshan Bo." The servants saluted one after another.
Nanshan Bo stroked his beard and smiled: "Lord Dayi, this is eight-hundred-year-old Jiao dragon meat, purchased by the caravan master from North Wasteland City yesterday."
Li Yi remembered immediately upon hearing this.
He didn't expect that after that Jiao dragon was skinned to make armor, its body was taken to be stewed.
"Old man, do you know me?" Li Yi sized up this old man named Nanshan Bo; he hadn't seen this person before.
"I am a guest in the caravan master's home. I asked the servants and knew that a God-Blood Warrior named Lord Dayi came yesterday." Nanshan Bo said, then added: "You had a phenomenon in your room yesterday, do you know?"
Phenomenon?
Li Yi was startled at first, but afterward, he understood. He estimated it was because he absorbed too much cosmic energy when he performed the White Bone Contemplation cultivation technique last night, causing the cosmic energy to condense and not disperse, producing some strange scenes.
"I was cultivating yesterday."
He didn't want to explain too much, to avoid saying more and making more mistakes.
But Nanshan Bo asked: "What is cultivation?"
As soon as this question came out, Li Yi didn't know how to answer for a moment, and at the same time, a guess popped up in his mind.
Could it be that there is no cultivation in this world?
But how could this be possible?
In a world where gods exist, how could there be no cultivation?
But looking at Nanshan Bo's inquisitive eyes, Li Yi couldn't help but gradually suspect that his guess was correct. This world might really not have systematic cultivation, because the civilization level of this world is not high, and they are born powerful, possessing unimaginable physiques and bloodlines.
Cultivation might really not be popularized.
"How do ordinary warriors become strong?" Li Yi didn't answer immediately, but asked back.
Nanshan Bo smiled: "Strict training, and cruel slaughter. Tempering one's own physique and will between life and death, winning a hundred battles without defeat, and naturally, one becomes strong."
"If it were someone like you, Nanshan Bo, without a powerful physique or if the body is aging, how to become strong?" Li Yi asked again.
"Observe the wind, rain, thunder, and lightning, manipulate the changes of the four seasons, comprehend the principles of heaven and earth, yin and yang, prepare things to take shape, hide the unexpected to generate the heart. The universe is peaceful and generates heavenly light, so one can control all things." Nanshan Bo said.
". "
Li Yi couldn't understand at all. He had suffered from a lack of culture all his life.
"Can you demonstrate it?"
Since he couldn't understand, he could at least see it.
Nanshan Bo smiled, then he raised the stick in his hand and waved it casually. A piece of Jiao dragon meat stewing in the large pot flew over out of thin air, and then he caught it with his stick, and then ate it in large mouthfuls.
At this moment, Li Yi understood what "the universe is peaceful and generates heavenly light" meant.
That heavenly light was clearly the light of the soul.
When Nanshan Bo cast the spell, the soul power channeled cosmic energy, interfered with reality, and produced an ability similar to object control. This ability could be large or small; small could take objects from a distance, large could control wind, rain, thunder, and lightning, and this was the principle of magic.
Sure enough, the essence of all cultivation is the same.
"You eat too, this meat is very beautiful." Nanshan Bo waved again, and a piece of Jiao dragon meat flew in front of Li Yi.
After Li Yi took it, he also tore and bit a piece in large mouthfuls. It was indeed delicious, but the stewing still lacked some heat and wasn't soft and rotten. At the same time, after a mouthful of meat went down, he only felt his Qi and blood surging, and there was a scorching aura in his body wanting to spray out.
This was a typical case of over-supplementing, and the body couldn't bear the massive Qi and blood essence contained in a mouthful of Jiao dragon meat.
But soon, with the flow and operation of the blood throughout his body, a large amount of Qi and blood essence was being consumed, turning into nutrients to nourish the growth of the god's blood.
The hunger in his body had now completely disappeared, and Li Yi felt a sense of being full.
Full after one mouthful of meat?
At this moment, Li Yi understood what the people of this world ate. It turned out they ate dragon meat and exotic beast meat.
Looking at Nanshan Bo, he finished a piece of Jiao dragon meat in two or three bites, and he wasn't full yet, so he took another piece of large meat and ate it, looking very much like he was enjoying it.
Seeing this, Li Yi was very astonished.
This old man could eat so much meat, which meant his strength was extraordinary, because if so much Qi and blood essence poured into the body, if one wasn't strong enough, one would be stuffed to death.
"Lord Dayi, you haven't answered yet, what is cultivation." Nanshan Bo asked with a smile while eating.
Li Yi pointed and said: "This is cultivation."
"Eat?" Nanshan Bo said very sincerely: "Please answer for me, Lord Dayi."
Answer?
His own cultural level wasn't high, how could he answer?
Li Yi kept thinking in his heart at this moment. Suddenly, he thought of something, pointed to a warrior outside again, and said: "What about those who eat meat?"
Nanshan Bo looked over and said without hesitation: "Brave and fierce."
Li Yi pointed to several maids again: "They don't eat meat, but eat grain. What about those who eat grain?"
"Wise and clever." Nanshan Bo said again.
Li Yi pointed to the sky outside at this moment: "If there are those who eat Qi, what should that be?"
"Those who eat Qi?"
Nanshan Bo looked at the meat in his hand, then at the five grains steaming in the pot, and then at the vast and boundless sky outside.
He gradually fell into thought, but felt something was missing, making him almost attain enlightenment.
This feeling made Nanshan Bo very anxious. He saluted Li Yi respectfully and devoutly: "Please teach me, Lord Dayi."
"Those who eat Qi are divine and have longevity." Li Yi looked at Nanshan Bo and said slowly.
"Those who eat Qi are divine and have longevity?"
Once these words were spoken, Sage Nanshan Bo felt as if struck by thunder; he stood stunned on the spot, and some fleeting, supreme Daoist principle seemed to be gestating within him, giving him a feeling of sudden enlightenment.
The experience and knowledge accumulated over countless years were all mobilized at this moment.
At this moment.
Nanshan Bo attained the true meaning of the way of cultivation, and also understood the supreme principle of people transforming from mortals to gods.
"Haha."
He laughed happily, very excited and joyful, falling into a state of self-forgetfulness. Afterward, he dropped his staff, his whole body glowing, and he left here running and flying, heading toward the place where the caravan master Xiu Xiang lived in the residence.
Seeing this, Li Yi's eyelids jumped: "What stimulated him? He wouldn't have gone crazy again, would he?"
He didn't know why, but this scene was very familiar, as if he had seen it sometime before, and now it was no longer surprising.
Nanshan Bo ran until even the shoes on his feet fell off.
Some of the retainers at the residence were greatly astonished to see Sage Nanshan Bo in such a state of loss of composure, and they rushed after him one after another, wanting to ask what had happened.
"Sage Nanshan Bo, what has happened? He Wei are you so composed?"
"Nanshan Bo."
Guests chased after him one after another, worrying that this wise man and old man on the residence would have some accident.
However, Nanshan Bo kicked open the door of the caravan master Xiu Xiang's room.
At this moment.
On the couch, the caravan master was sleeping soundly, accompanied by several beautiful maidens. Hearing such a big commotion, he woke up immediately, subconsciously wanting to summon guards.
But soon, he saw Nanshan Bo looking around and hurrying, and was shocked. He hurriedly kicked away the beautiful maidens beside him, put on his clothes, and said busily: "He Wei is Nanshan Bo looking for me? Please give me guidance."
He was very respectful.
Because Nanshan Bo would never kick the door and enter without an important major event.
Even the wisest elder at the residence was so shaken, so something of great importance must have occurred; as the Merchant Lord, Xiu Xiang did not need to know the cause, only how to handle it.
Nanshan Bo didn't respond. He hurried to the bookshelf beside the bedroom.
That bookshelf had a scroll of bamboo slips, its color crimson, cast from red gold, with three characters on it: "Great Wilderness Chronicle".
This was the chronicle that the caravan master Xiu Xiang had spent his whole life trying to write, hoping to rely on this chronicle to pass his name down to the world and become a caravan master passed down by the world.
After all, there are thousands of caravan masters in the world, but only he, Xiu Xiang, is the one who can write a chronicle.
This is an honor.
Of course, Xiu Xiang was naturally not proficient in writing chronicles; he only provided money, and the person who truly wrote the chronicle was this elder, Nanshan Bo.
Therefore, in the residence, Nanshan Bo's status was very high, not comparable to ordinary guests.
Nanshan Bo picked up the scroll and sighed: "Caravan Master, you have obtained Lord Dayi, like a Peng bird riding the wind, like a fish in water. Passing down your name for ten thousand generations starts today."
Saying this, he picked up the carving knife on the side and modified this Great Wilderness Chronicle, and added three characters at the end: "Yi's Original Life".
Afterward, he opened the scroll and began to carve characters.
"Yi asked: What about those who eat meat?"
"Bo answered: Brave and fierce."
"Yi asked: What about those who eat grain?"
"Bo answered: Wise and clever."
"Yi asked: What about those who eat Qi?"
"Bo asked for clarification."
"Yi said: Those who eat Qi are divine and have longevity."
After writing a line of characters, Nanshan Bo dropped the carving knife and laughed.
"Caravan Master, now this scroll of chronicle is worth a thousand gold per character." After finishing, Nanshan Bo handed the scroll back to Xiu Xiang.
Xiu Xiang was both surprised and happy. He was very excited, and his palms were trembling a bit.
He couldn't imagine, Nanshan Bo just added a sentence, why could his chronicle be worth a thousand gold per character?
What kind of supreme principle did that sentence contain, to be able to bring a chronicle that wasn't considered exquisite back to life?
In his excitement, he couldn't wait to view it. ===== CHAPTER 373 =====
