Chapter 132: The Origin of Cultivation
What is the Dao of Immortality?
Lu Hanwen does not know what the answer is; from childhood to adulthood, the elders in his clan told him that the path of Qi Refining is the Dao of Immortality, and he accepted this understanding.
In fact, not only him, but the descendants of the Jiuzhou era all believe this to be the case.
But in the eyes of Feng Zi, the so-called "Dao of Immortality" is merely a path of cultivation that points directly to the realm of immortals and seeks the method of longevity and transcendence.
Perhaps in the eyes of the great figures of later generations, Feng Zi's current view is still very shallow, but he has never cared about this point:
In any case, he has reached his current realm by relying on his own step-by-step exploration.
He does not care at all whether his path of cultivation belongs to the category of "orthodoxy."
But on second thought, Feng Zi is currently in the primitive era of Tianyuan Jie, and it is hard to say who belongs to the orthodoxy.
Perhaps... the so-called "orthodoxy" of later generations truly originated from himself?
Of course, in Feng Zi's view, this is just a joke after all, and he has never taken it to heart.
But in the eyes of Lu Hanwen, it carries a completely different meaning:
This young master of the Lu Family remembers very clearly that before being swept into that inexplicable vortex, Feng Zi had not come into contact with any knowledge regarding the path of Qi Refining at all.
In other words, when they arrived in this era, the few of them were almost all in a state of utter confusion.
Even, compared to Feng Zi, he and Li Shou might have possessed more common sense regarding the path of Qi Refining!
But now, Feng Zi has already walked out a path of cultivation that belongs to himself, and has even created a cultivation technique for the path of Qi Refining on his own!
To be honest, as a person of later generations, Lu Hanwen once imagined, if he were to return to the past with the knowledge of later generations, could he create a great achievement that would shake the past and present?
It is not just him; it is likely that everyone has fantasized about this.
But when he truly arrived in this primitive era where civilization was still in its infancy, he discovered that everything was not as he had imagined—
Even though the human race was still in an era of struggling to survive, as a person of later generations, he was unable to single-handedly lead the rise of the human race:
He possessed neither the strength to suppress various threats, nor the decisive judgment when facing critical situations, let alone the courage to act on his thoughts.
Lu Hanwen realized that even after arriving in this era, what he could do seemed to be only providing some suggestions for Feng Zi.
As fellow travelers from later generations who arrived in this era, Feng Zi's starting point was even lower than his own.
But unlike him, Feng Zi never seemed to consider these problems; he seemed to always be looking forward:
When he thought of a better cultivation method, he would rack his brains to think about how to perfect it;
When encountering the Mu He Tribe in difficulty, he would also do his best to help whenever he could;
Facing the aggressive innate divinities, he was not afraid in the slightest;
Even if he had verified his own conjectures, as long as he believed it was the right thing to do, he would point out the martial arts cultivation techniques to the people of the Mu He Tribe without hesitation...
In this era, Feng Zi's mindset had not changed in the slightest; he simply did what could be done and what should be done.
But that is just how he is, walking out his own path step by step.
After these few months of travel, Lu Hanwen must admit that Feng Zi has already become the core of this small team!
And he cannot help but wonder, was the reason Feng Zi came to this era due to accidental factors, or was it something that was bound to happen?
At first, Lu Hanwen naturally thought that their being swept into this era was an absolute accident.
But he recalled Li Shou's assertion about the techniques and all the information he understood, and he no longer dared to make such an assertion—
Why couldn't the reason they came to this era be this era's expectation of Feng Zi?
Seeing Lu Hanwen silent for a long time and never speaking, Feng Zi could not help but smile: "Brother Hanwen, what are you thinking about? You are so lost in thought."
That his good friend was in deep thought for such a long time surprised Feng Zi a little.
Hearing his reminder, Lu Hanwen immediately sobered up and shook his head:
"It is nothing, I just suddenly had some reflections in my heart—I did not expect Brother Feng Zi to have already thought so far ahead."
To this, Feng Zi just smiled and patted Lu Hanwen on the shoulder, saying: "Brother Hanwen, do not flatter me; I am currently only at the mere Foundation Establishment Realm.
"These thoughts are just my current insights; the future is still very long, and perhaps as my realm improves, my thoughts will also change.
"In the process of cultivating the techniques, if you have any new questions or insights, you must discuss them with me. After all, this is just a concept between Yue Yu and me, and there must be errors and omissions."
"Brother Feng Zi, rest assured, that goes without saying." Lu Hanwen immediately replied with a smile.
Seeing that the other party had also walked away, Feng Zi assumed a stance and continued to practice his Fist Technique.
While throwing punches, he asked casually: "This actually surprised me a bit; could it be that my approach to cultivation is already completely different from others?"
"I only know you, so I don't know how others cultivate." Regarding this, Qing Lin only curled her lips helplessly and said.
Feng Zi thought about it carefully, and it seemed that this was indeed the case, so he could only say helplessly: "That is true, then I hope everything goes well for them."
Having said that, he continued to focus all his attention on practicing the Fist Technique.
But this time, it was Qing Lin who took the initiative to start the conversation for a change.
She took a pure object emitting a brilliant golden light from her sleeve and said helplessly:
"However, you have to find a way to deal with this thing; it always moves toward you. Keeping it with me like this is not a solution..."
If one were to observe the object emitting golden light in Qing Lin's hand carefully, one would find that it is not a physical entity, but a mass of formless and qualityless "existence."
Feng Zi also does not know how this "object" appeared.
He only knows that when he taught the people of the Mu He Tribe the method of martial arts cultivation, this existence emitting golden light silently enveloped him.
Feng Zi has no idea what it is, how it appeared, or what its functions are.
It is as if it appeared suddenly.
Facing this thing of unknown origin, even if it seems completely harmless, Feng Zi does not dare to let it touch him at all.
Therefore, he and Qing Lin spent quite a bit of effort to peel it off himself and temporarily entrust it to Qing Lin for safekeeping.
But what Qing Lin said also makes sense; leaving it aside like this is not a reliable method.
So Feng Zi and Qing Lin sat under a tree and discussed in a low voice: "Do you think... can I refine this thing?"
Inexplicably, Feng Zi suddenly thought of the xianxia novels he read in his past life.
Qing Lin had no objections to this, but could not help asking: "But do you know the 'Refining Method'?"
"I do not," Feng Zi answered frankly, not particularly concerned about it:
"But I think... the so-called 'Refining Method' is nothing more than a technique to infiltrate it with one's own True Qi and gain complete control over it.
"This technique should not be difficult; if we study it a little, I imagine we will be able to devise a corresponding technique very soon."
