Chapter 47

"Hmm... I think I roughly understand what you mean."

Whether it was Li Li Boyang or Xi Luo, the vital energy within their bodies had long since bypassed the most primitive stage of accumulation.

As innate divine beings, the abundance of vital energy within Li Li Boyang and Xi Luo simply could not be contained by the meridians surrounding them.

In contrast, if not for Da Ya Tou's patient teaching and help, she wouldn't even have been able to cross the threshold of "perceiving vital energy."

Therefore, unless Da Ya Tou could one day, like Li Li Boyang and Xi Luo, allow her vital energy to become complete and overflow.

Otherwise, actively controlling vital energy to flow out of the meridians and circulate through the flesh and blood would be a skill she must master.

"I do not need to deliberately learn and master the flow of vital energy..."

"Because it has always been flowing within my flesh and blood; it is an innate instinct."

After understanding everything, Xi Luo sighed softly.

At this moment, she felt somewhat like entering a treasure mountain only to return empty-handed.

The ability Da Ya Tou tried to learn and master was actually a passive effect that Xi Luo and Li Li Boyang constantly possessed.

In other words, the "Breathing Method" was meaningless to Xi Luo.

At the very least, the current "Breathing Method" was meaningless to her.

"What a pity; I originally thought I could also greatly improve my physical constitution like Da Ya Tou!"

The practice of strengthening one's athletic performance by controlling the flow of vital energy has its limits.

As long as one is still flesh and blood, as long as one is still a carbon-based life form...

the physical laws of the real world will act upon them—the faster the speed, the greater the strength, the stronger the backlash they endure.

"A significant improvement in a short time is naturally impossible..."

"Unless you are willing to let me replace your body with steel, then we might be able to try."

A hint of unmasked expectation flashed in his eyes; Li Li Boyang's words were clearly not a joke.

He, whose soul came from the twenty-first century, held no notion that "the original body is the truth"; instead, he embraced the concept of "flesh is weak, mechanical ascension."

"Then let's forget it!"

"I am quite satisfied with my current body and have no intention of becoming a stone statue—even if it is made of iron."

Decisively shaking her head to indicate negation, Xi Luo did not want to become Li Li Boyang's experimental subject at all.

Over these three years, Xi Luo had gained a profound understanding and knowledge of Li Li Boyang's nature.

With his whimsical ideas combined with his absurdly powerful execution ability, it would not be strange for this child to do anything crazy.

"Since you are unwilling to modify your body, if you wish to continue becoming stronger, you can only take a different path."

With a hint of regret, Li Li Boyang said while shaking his head and swaying his body.

"The body has limits, but the spirit does not—at the very least, I have not yet explored that limit in my current stage."

Hearing this, Xi Luo immediately raised her guard.

In the past, whenever Li Li Boyang wanted to trick Da Ya Tou, he would put on such an expression.

Having seen it many times, Xi Luo naturally instinctively raised her guard.

"Looking at your unworldly appearance, do you think I would harm you?"

Rolling his eyes in annoyance, Li Li Boyang realized that his image in Xi Luo's mind seemed somewhat skewed.

"Vital Qi is a very versatile thing, especially for you and me..."

"Since vital energy can act upon the flesh and blood, then acting upon the spirit, or even the soul, is also possible."

"You have also seen my Primordial Spirit; you should know how terrifying the power of that 'spiritual materialization' is!"

"If you can truly calm your mind and feel that trace of spirituality hidden deep within your soul..."

"then when the Primordial Spirit manifests, the vital energy of heaven and earth will exert power far exceeding the limits your body can bear."

"I call this process 'Refining Qi to Transform the Spirit'..."

"As for that materialized Primordial Spirit, it is merely the final result of cultivation, barely counting as a supernatural ability?"

When speaking the last words, even Li Li Boyang was not entirely sure whether that materialized Primordial Spirit truly counted as a supernatural ability.

After all, up to now, Li Li Boyang's process of forming the Primordial Spirit was full of coincidences, and he had not yet found a way to replicate it.

Li Li Boyang's only impression of that state at the time was—just don't worry about the process; the Primordial Spirit leads everything, and the remaining trivial details are left to the Vital Qi.

"This is what you need."

After briefly explaining the essence of the Primordial Spirit to Xi Luo, Li Li Boyang pulled out a crude beast skin from behind his back.

On that beast skin, which had been specially cured and tanned, the words written with a charcoal pencil appeared so clear and crisp.

"Third Edition: Resting-Type Perception and Advanced Method of Heaven and Earth Vital Energy."

"This details how to sit in meditation and cultivate the true Primordial Spirit by suppressing the Discerning Spirit."

"Based on my own personal experience, I personally recommend you sit in meditation under a waterfall in the early stages, using the pain of the body and the sound of the waterfall to suppress distracting thoughts."

"Of course, if you have talent and can directly cultivate the 'Mindless Samadhi,' that would be even better."

"In that case, you will see a completely different world, a spiritual world where all things in the world can be observed through the perspective of the Primordial Spirit."

"Although I have not yet cultivated the true 'Mindless Samadhi,' this path is certainly not wrong..."

Blinking her eyes, Xi Luo looked at that beast skin and suddenly asked.

"So, this is the reason you have been sitting in meditation under the waterfall for the past while?"

"Didn't you already cultivate the Primordial Spirit long ago? Why do you still need to cultivate that so-called 'Mindless Samadhi'?"

Hearing Xi Luo's question, Li Li Boyang covered the Heavenly Eye on his forehead that had closed at some unknown time and said in a calm tone.

"I merely took a shortcut, but I do not want to walk shortcuts forever."

"Whether it is the innate Divine Eye or the curse of the Ruifu..."

"I hope that one day, when I lose all of this, I can still step back onto the path of cultivation."

"Besides, aren't you using my experience right now?"

Seeing Li Li Boyang's proud expression, Xi Luo, unable to comprehend the other's thoughts, sighed.

"You are so much like my sister in every way."

The Huaijiang Witch of a thousand years ago was the same.

Though she possessed the Heavenly Mandate's divine power, she always loved to explore the causes behind that Heavenly Mandate.

"But your taste in naming is still as terrible as ever..."

"Quiet Type · Perception and Advanced Method of Heaven and Earth's Primordial Qi; ordinary people probably wouldn't even know what this is, right?"

Hearing this, Li Li Boyang rolled his eyes again.

"What do you mean my taste is terrible? I call it simple and straightforward."

"If you don't want it, give this back to me, then figure out how to excavate and perceive the Primordial Spirit yourself!"

Hearing Li Li Boyang say this, Xi Luo immediately leaped, pressing that beast-skin scroll under her paw with one claw.

But immediately after, Xi Luo looked at the beast-skin scroll and found herself in difficulty again.

"I don't recognize any of these characters..."

A smile instantly spread across his face; Li Li Boyang shrugged and turned to leave, saying,

"Then I won't bother; who asked you to willingly be an illiterate person?"
