Chapter 115: Suddenly Enlightened... As If, There Are Even More Problems

Looking at the few lines of text before him, Feng Zi could recognize every character, yet he could not quite understand the meaning of these sentences.

"Qi Refining Foundation Establishment"? Is this a realm?

Is he not a Martial Artist? The realm previously displayed was also the Martial Artist's "Transformation Realm," only it had an inexplicable "" tag appended after it—this book is first published on Tian Tian Kan Xiao Shuo -> ttk. tw, providing you with an error-free and non-disordered reading experience.

Wait... Feng Zi suddenly realized that he seemed to have understood something:

In other words, those two characters meant that at the time, he was not only still walking the path of Martial Dao cultivation but had also officially stepped onto the path of Qi Refining?

After breaking through to the Transformation Realm, he did indeed feel that ordinary Martial Dao cultivation methods had some flaws, and he had improved the way his Qi and Blood Power circulated according to his own ideas.

Feng Zi recalled everything very earnestly and suddenly realized that his guesses all seemed to have factual verification:

The Qi and Blood Power flowing through his meridians... does it not have the same effect as the Qi Refiner's method of breathing in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to condense True Qi within the body?!

In other words, the two characters displayed in his talent at that time:

Were because he could not yet, like a Qi Refiner, achieve the recovery and growth of his own strength by breathing in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth!

If one were to infer further, that would mean that, unknowingly, he had now solved this difficulty?

Feng Zi stared fixedly at the text displayed by his talent, and then discovered with pleasant surprise:

Along with every breath he took, his cultivation would increase by a little!

This was truly literal; he could even become stronger just by breathing!

In other words, inadvertently, he had truly crossed that most difficult step and become a cultivator practicing the path of Qi Refining?

Feng Zi pondered to himself.

But this led to two more questions:

The first question was, as early as when he broke through to the Transformation Realm, he had already carved out a cultivation path of his own, but where was the factor that caused the qualitative change?

This question was actually not hard to answer.

When Feng Zi thought of this question, the answer appeared along with it:

The two techniques that Qing Lin had taught him, the "Ten Thousand Spirit Transformation Method" and the "Origin Avatar Method"!

Of course, this did not mean that by practicing these two techniques, one could easily step onto the path of Qi Refining.

Feng Zi had never believed in myths of "soaring to the sky in one leap":

Even with the 【Diligence Can Compensate for Lack of Talent】 talent, his current strength was obtained through arduous cultivation.

According to Feng Zi's speculation, if he had not possessed sufficient strength, he feared he would not even have been able to practice these two techniques!

But he also had a speculation in his heart: perhaps the cultivation logic of these two techniques was the path of Qi Refining.

When he was practicing these two techniques, he had also, unknowingly, grasped the Qi Refining cultivation method he had never fully understood before.

And the second question was, for Feng Zi, he simply did not know how to practice the path of Qi Refining—

What's more, in his view, even if he had stepped onto the path of Qi Refining, the path of Martial Dao cultivation still had no end.

On second thought, Feng Zi discovered that this question was not really a problem either.

After all, the reason he thought Martial Dao was inferior to the Qi path was essentially due to his past experiences and Lu Hanwen's rhetoric:

Because the limit of Martial Dao was only the Grandmaster realm, while the path of Qi Refining could lead directly to the Immortal realm, hence he held this view.

But the problem was, in this era, there were no cultivation methods that had become paradigms like in later generations.

Furthermore, the limit of Martial Dao is Grandmaster, but in this era, the Qi Refiners who had gone the furthest were only at the Golden Core stage!

Since that was the case, the answer to the second question was obvious:

Since the path of Martial Dao was still very long, he would just continue walking it.

As for the path of Qi Refining... like the Qi Refiners of this era, he would just explore the path forward himself.

And vaguely, Feng Zi also discovered that there did not seem to be such a huge gap between Martial Dao and the path of Qi Refining; the connection between the two was actually unusually close.

But this was just a feeling; his realm was still very low, and there was no need to dwell on such questions that could not yield an answer for the time being.

If he were to continue dwelling on this question concerning his cultivation path, he might as well think about what was going on with his realm:

Whether in the Xianxia novels he had read in his past life or in the concepts of the people of Tianyuan, Qi Refining is Qi Refining, and Foundation Establishment is Foundation Establishment; these are two completely different realms.

Then, why was his realm the neither-fish-nor-fowl "Qi Refining Foundation Establishment," and why did it have a cultivation progress far exceeding the Transformation Realm?

But facing this question, Feng Zi remained completely ignorant—

Even without the information displayed in his talent, he could feel that his strength was becoming increasingly powerful and increasingly restrained, and it was far from reaching its limit.

It was even to the point where the realms spoken of by ordinary practitioners could no longer be applied to him at all.

But at the same time, the problems arising from this were becoming more and more numerous.

"Forget it, I'll just take it one step at a time; it's not like I can just stop cultivating..." Feng Zi sighed helplessly in his heart.

As for the two hundred years suddenly added to his Lifespan, that was not a difficult problem to figure out:

Every time a major realm is broken through, a cultivator's physical fitness becomes stronger, and their control over themselves becomes more refined; naturally, their Lifespan will also increase accordingly.

Since that was the case, he would just treat it as having broken through another major realm—although Feng Zi had absolutely no real sense of it.

Furthermore, being able to live a few more years meant being able to do more things with ease, which was a good thing regardless.

Since that was the case, only one question remained before Feng Zi:

In the information displayed by his talent, after the "Ten Thousand Spirit Transformation Method" and the "Origin Avatar Method," why was there this inexplicable remark?

Originally, Feng Zi thought this was displaying the grade of the techniques.

Admittedly, what was displayed after this should indeed be the grade of the techniques, but the problem was, what type of technique grade was this?

After all, according to his speculation, the "Hundred Flowers Misleading Fist" was also an Earth Grade Martial Dao technique.

But in the talent's display, this Fist Technique was no different from other Martial Dao techniques.

What's more, as an Earth Grade Martial Dao technique, even though the "Hundred Flowers Misleading Fist" had reached the Peak Perfection realm, its cultivation progress was only 800 points.

And for these two techniques clearly displayed as, even though they were only at the First Glimpse of the Path realm, their cultivation progress had reached a terrifying 10,000 points!

Up until now, the information displayed by the 【Diligence Can Compensate for Lack of Talent】 talent had never once been wrong...

So, the question then becomes, what exactly is the standard for determining this talent?

"Sigh, another question that cannot be answered for the time being," Feng Zi sighed in his heart.

But there was no helping it—his strength was still far too low, and this world named "Tianyuan" was clearly filled with many mysteries.

Just as Feng Zi was letting his thoughts run wild in his heart, he faintly heard a burst of noisy discussion coming from the tribe.
