Chapter 131: Feng Zi's Perspective on the Martial Dao

Early the next morning.

The entire tribe had just "woken" up, but Feng Zi had already begun his daily practice outside the tribe.

"Ah, Brother Feng Zi, you really are here." Before long, Lu Hanwen had sought him out.

Ever since arriving in this era, Lu Hanwen and Li Shou had never addressed Feng Zi by his real name, instead using the pseudonym "Cun Xin."

But with no one else around at the moment, Feng Zi did not take it to heart.

Furthermore, since Lu Hanwen had taken the initiative to use his real name, there must be an important matter to discuss.

Seeing this, Feng Zi put away his stance and walked up to greet him: "What is it? Why come looking for me so early?"

Seeing Feng Zi practicing his Fist Technique as usual, Lu Hanwen was somewhat puzzled and asked subconsciously:

"Haven't you already realized the Immortal Dao method? Why are you still practicing Martial Artist techniques?"

Faced with this question, Feng Zi was actually a bit confused and asked back subconsciously:

"Breathing Techniques don't require deliberate practice, and supplementing them with Martial Artist training is just right for cultivating both internally and externally.

"By the way, the Breathing Technique I gave you should be easy to pick up, right? Yueyu and I simplified it many times before I dared to feel at ease handing it over to Brother Hanwen."

Since Lu Hanwen had mentioned the "Immortal Dao method," Feng Zi took the opportunity to bring it up.

Of course, he did not take this problem to heart:

In his view, that technique was truly too simple, even "crude" to the point of being hard to call a technique, so it should not have been difficult at all.

But to Feng Zi's surprise, Lu Hanwen shook his head helplessly and said in frustration:

"In fact, the three of us studied it for a long time, but we still found it difficult to get started. Having no other choice, I had to come and ask you for guidance first."

"Difficult to get started?" Hearing this, Feng Zi couldn't help but be stunned and said subconsciously:

"That shouldn't be; Brother Hanwen and Brother Li Shou are both Martial Artists of the Transformation Realm, and Fellow Daoist Qingyang is a Qi Refiner of the Foundation Establishment Realm...

"For you all, this technique shouldn't have any difficulty at all."

Looking at Feng Zi's expression, Lu Hanwen was momentarily speechless:

In his view, Feng Zi was truly thinking this from the bottom of his heart, and it was not out of any "mocking" intent.

Of course, making "sarcastic remarks" could not solve the problem, so Feng Zi thought about it very seriously and proposed a few points he considered potential difficulties:

"Brother Hanwen, are you unable to make the Qi and Blood Power flowing through your meridians resonate with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth?"

To this question, Lu Hanwen shook his head with a blank expression.

"Then, is it that you cannot understand the way the meridians and dantian resonate?" Feng Zi continued to ponder and asked.

Responding to him was still a blank shake of the head.

"Then is it a problem with the conversion ratio between the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, the True Qi in your body, and the Qi and Blood Power?"

Feng Zi pondered for a long time again before coming up with the last question he could think of.

But responding to him was still a blank shake of the head.

This left Feng Zi a bit at a loss, and he subconsciously scratched his head, looking at Lu Hanwen in confusion:

"This... I really can't think of anything else. Brother Hanwen, where exactly did you find it difficult to get started?"

Hearing this, Lu Hanwen also sighed with some shame: "It is shameful to say, but we couldn't even understand the very first part."

The beginning?!

Hearing this answer, Feng Zi subconsciously widened his eyes.

Seeing that the two of them were constantly "talking past each other," Qing Lin sighed helplessly and walked out from the side:

"I think I know the problem for both of you—have you forgotten? Ever since you broke through to the Transformation Realm, your path of cultivation has been different from that of ordinary Martial Artists."

Hearing Qing Lin's explanation, Feng Zi suddenly realized:

That's right, the starting point of their understanding was different; it was no wonder there was such a huge discrepancy in their comprehension.

He immediately clapped his hands and laughed: "Yueyu, you've helped me a great deal again!"

Having said that, Feng Zi said to Lu Hanwen: "Since I understand the cause and effect, let's take advantage of the free time now, and I will explain it clearly to you."

With that, he immediately strode back to his room.

Qing Lin was clearly already used to Feng Zi's erratic train of thought and followed him immediately.

Only Lu Hanwen had not reacted in time, his heart still filled with confusion:

What did Brother Feng Zi understand? Why don't I understand anything? Could there really be a second way for a Transformation Realm Martial Artist to cultivate?

But watching Feng Zi's figure gradually walk away, Lu Hanwen still hurriedly followed his footsteps.

Before long, in front of his three companions, Feng Zi expounded on his mental journey after breaking through to the Transformation Realm.

Transforming Qi and Blood Power into True Qi within the meridians—for a Qi Refiner, compared to the method of transforming the spiritual energy of heaven and earth into True Qi, this method had a similar effect.

Thus, Qingyang, being a Qi Refiner, understood immediately; a flash of inspiration crossed his mind, and he grasped the true essence of the technique Feng Zi had created.

Immediately, he sat cross-legged and began to practice this Breathing Technique.

As Martial Artists, although Lu Hanwen and Li Shou did not fully understand Feng Zi's train of thought, they were amazed by his ideas.

Lu Hanwen couldn't help but exclaim: "To actually use the blood surging through the meridians as a carrier, and to condense and compress all the Qi and Blood Power within the body...

"How risky this method is, and yet how ingenious!"

The fact that Feng Zi could stand here safe and sound proved that his hypothesis had been confirmed.

But even so, in Lu Hanwen's view, to be able to come up with such an idea and put it into practice without hesitation—

Feng Zi truly lived up to the name "Madman"!

Li Shou did not sigh over these things; he only pondered for a moment before saying directly: "I will give it a try."

Hearing this, Feng Zi immediately warned: "This method requires experiencing countless failures. If you want to practice it successfully, what you need most is patience and meticulousness."

"Many thanks for the advice." Li Shou nodded slightly, immediately sat cross-legged as well, and looked within himself.

Seeing that both of them had begun their cultivation, Lu Hanwen did not act immediately, but instead watched them silently, lost in deep thought:

The two of them, one cultivating the path of Qi Refining and the other cultivating the Martial Path, were at this moment practicing the very same cultivation technique.

Seeing this, Feng Zi could not help but ask: "Brother Hanwen, what are you thinking about?"

Hearing this question, Lu Hanwen was startled back to his senses and asked subconsciously: "Brother Feng Zi, in your view... what exactly are the Martial Path and the Immortal Path?"

In his view, compared to them, Feng Zi's mindset and vision had clearly reached a higher level of attainment.

But regarding this question, Feng Zi only smiled and shook his head: "What 'Martial Path' or 'Immortal Path'? In my view, this way of putting it is wrong in itself."

Meeting Lu Hanwen's surprised gaze, he told him frankly: "In my view, the paths of cultivation in this world have always only been the 'path of Qi Refining' and the 'Body Refining Path'."

"These two have never been in conflict; on the contrary, only by practicing the Body Refining Path can one better step onto the path of Qi Refining;"

"And only by practicing the path of Qi Refining can one better comprehend the Body Refining Path."

"Therefore, in my eyes, the claim you speak of that 'the path of Qi Refining is the Immortal Path' is biased; only when these two complement each other is it the complete, smooth path to immortality!"
