Yuan Qi? Or... True Qi?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, the needle stopped on a symbol inscribed with the character \"One.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"True One! It’s actually True Qi!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shangguan Xiao shouted with a look of pleasant surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She looked up at Li Fei: \"You actually cultivated True Qi!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The symbol \"One\" represents True One; in Daoism, it means the Great Dao is unique, and on this Bagua Qi-identifying disk, this symbol represents True Qi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Geng Metal True Qi?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Fei looked at the scale on the Bagua disk and did not feel very surprised by this result.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After listening to Shangguan Xiao’s introduction, especially after hearing the introduction to True Qi, he felt that it was possible for him to cultivate True Qi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>True Qi requires purity, without impurities, whereas ordinary martial artists, in the process of taking elixirs to cultivate, would more or less deposit some impurities in their bodies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Li Fei had the Myriad Blood Bead to share the damage; every time he took medicine, the Myriad Blood Bead would absorb 99% of the damage caused by the elixir.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The damage caused by elixirs to the human body mainly comes from those impurities, so 99% of the impurities would be absorbed by the Myriad Blood Bead, and the remaining 1% of impurities could be completely excreted by the human body naturally.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this way, Li Fei took elixirs with almost no impurities deposited, his internal implant was extremely clean, and it was normal to stimulate True Qi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It seems your talent is not only reflected in your hard-body training, but also in your ability to absorb elixirs.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shangguan Xiao looked at Li Fei with a joyful face, \"Some people’s constitutions are naturally more suitable for taking elixirs, with very few impurities deposited; these people have the best chance of cultivating True Qi, and you must be such a constitution!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Fei nodded: \"Master Aunt, what are the characteristics of this Geng Metal True Qi?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Primordial Qi has many wonderful uses; it can strengthen a martial artist’s body over time, and it can enhance a martial artist’s speed, strength, endurance, resistance to blows, and so on during combat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, every type of primordial Qi has unique characteristics, which can be used to develop corresponding tactics in a targeted manner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Metal-elemental primordial Qi: Geng Metal is sharp and focuses on killing; Xin Metal is solid and focuses on defense. The characteristic of True Qi is purity—it is immune to all evil, unchanging through all transformations, and can amplify a certain characteristic infinitely. Therefore, compared to other Geng Metal Qi, your Geng Metal True Qi will possess the ultimate sharpness! And it is difficult to be affected by other primordial Qi; once it strikes into someone else’s body, it will be very difficult to clear out.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shangguan Xiao said to Li Fei.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In the history of the Great Lan Dynasty, many famous generals practiced Geng Metal True Qi; it is a type of primordial Qi very suitable for battlefield slaughter.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After listening to Shangguan Xiao’s introduction, Li Fei felt very satisfied with his primordial Qi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the Myriad Blood Bead, his defense was already maxed out; what he currently lacked were offensive means.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the power of the Blood Fiend Qi was quite good, this aura was only effective against living organisms and was not suitable for siege warfare.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that he had Geng Metal True Qi, he could use the Geng Metal True Qi to break through the opponent’s defense first, and then use the Blood Fiend Qi to injure them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The cultivation difficulty of the [Primordial Heaven Gold] Dao foundation is extremely high, and the metal-elemental [Steel Armor] implant is the most core link. Now that you can cultivate Geng Metal True Qi, the probability of successfully completing it in the future will increase by at least 30%. Not bad, not bad; I believe more and more that you will succeed in the end!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shangguan Xiao said to Li Fei with a smile, feeling happy for her senior brother.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Next, she gave Li Fei many pointers on matters needing attention during the Qi Transformation realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the Body Breaking realm to the Qi Transformation realm, the most critical thing is the growth of the implant, and the power of the mind can affect the speed of the implant’s growth. Later, stimulating primordial Qi also requires the power of the mind, so one can cultivate by way of 'breaking the heart barrier.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But after reaching the Qi Transformation realm, the growth of the implant is no longer the focus; no matter how much it grows, it can only increase the total amount of primordial Qi, and the subsequent breakthrough requires the primordial Qi to undergo a qualitative change, which is to cultivate force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The focus of cultivation at this stage is on primordial Qi, and it is necessary to formulate different cultivation plans according to the characteristics of the primordial Qi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The key to cultivation in the Qi Transformation realm is to cultivate the corresponding state of mind, so that you can condense the corresponding force.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shangguan Xiao said to Li Fei:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"For example, if it is the wood-elemental Clear Qi, then it is suitable for quiet meditation, experiencing the beauty of heaven, earth, mountains, and rivers, and the interest of nature more, to comprehend an ethereal state of mind; only then can you condense the corresponding force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it is the water-elemental Profound Qi, Profound Qi is changeable, so it is suitable to practice various types of martial arts and fight against different types of opponents more, to realize the Dao of change and comprehend a profound state of mind; only then can you successfully cultivate force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Your primordial Qi is Geng Metal True Qi; Geng Metal focuses on slaughter, and True Qi seeks purity, so the place most suitable for your cultivation is actually the battlefield. Those famous generals in the history of the Great Lan Dynasty who practiced Geng Metal True Qi were all tempered on the battlefield to complete their breakthroughs. The state of mind you need to comprehend is a pure heart of slaughter.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After listening, Li Fei murmured: \"A pure heart of slaughter?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since it is slaughter, how can there be talk of purity?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Killing always has a purpose, with all kinds of desires mixed in; it is the most intense emotional conflict. Does it mean one must kill like hemp, becoming as accustomed to killing as drinking water, to be considered as having comprehended the heart of slaughter?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shangguan Xiao looked at Li Fei’s thoughtful expression and smiled:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You don’t have to rush for a moment. You went from an ordinary person to a Qi Transformation martial master in less than three short months; no one would believe such a thing if it were told. Even compared to those legendary peerless geniuses I know, you are not inferior to them at all! So you don’t have to rush; you have plenty of time to walk the path of the Qi Transformation realm slowly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, what she didn’t tell Li Fei was that from the early stage of Qi Transformation to the middle stage, it seemed to be just a small realm gap, but in reality, it had stuck many geniuses. And the breakthrough of True Qi requires an even higher state of mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many people with extremely high aptitude can break through to the Qi Transformation realm smoothly in a very short time, but then they cannot break through the realm no matter what, and can only waste their years in vain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It is just because the state of mind is something that really cannot be forced, and external forces are useless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is also why the imperial court set the standard for official martial masters at the middle stage of Qi Transformation; martial masters at the early stage of Qi Transformation are simply not qualified to become official martial masters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The gap of this small realm determines the future martial arts ceiling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shangguan Xiao did not tell Li Fei these things because she did not want to put pressure on him, hoping that Li Fei could let nature take its course and relax his mindset.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, student understands.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Fei bowed to Shangguan Xiao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Li Fei was receiving guidance from Shangguan Xiao at the Qingyuan Fist Stronghold, the leader of the Tiger Blade Gang, Yu Hu, was receiving several mysterious guests in his mansion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Three people, all shrouded in black robes, walked into the courtyard where Yu Hu practiced martial arts every day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Hu had just finished his martial arts practice for the day and was sitting in the courtyard drinking medicinal liquid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the three black-robed people, Yu Hu did not get up and continued to drink the medicinal liquid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"When asking for help from others, is this the hospitality of Gang Leader Yu?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The leading black-robed person asked in a low voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Hu put down the bowl in his hand, looked at the other party, and mocked:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I am asking for help from others? You are now like a stray dog; shouldn’t it be you asking for help from me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, the visitor took off his hood, revealing his true face under the black robe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was none other than the leader of the An Shen Sect, Zhao Yu!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In that battle, Zhao Yu cut off his tail like a gecko, decisively abandoning the vast majority of his followers, taking only the elites of the sect and those four captured official martial masters, and finally escaped alive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, a few months later, he returned to Xingcheng with his people!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A stray dog?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Yu sneered at Yu Hu, \"How did I hear that Private Secretary Zhang was publicly killed on the street, and Gang Leader Yu was also publicly defeated, having to leave behind hundreds of firearms for self-protection? Afterward, all the people the Tiger Blade Gang arranged in the Lecture Hall were arrested, and the Stop-Gong Academy did not make a sound from beginning to end. In such a situation, who is the real stray dog?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Hu’s eyes became fierce, and he stared at Zhao Yu:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You inquired about so much, but didn’t you inquire that this old man is actually a Dao foundation realm powerhouse?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The air in the courtyard suddenly turned cold, and snowflakes began to fall!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Yu’s expression changed, and the two black-robed people who had been standing quietly behind him immediately stepped forward, blocking Zhao Yu behind them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Hu glanced at the two black-robed people: \"It seems you finally succeeded after all.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Yu patted the shoulders of the two black-robed people, signaling them not to be nervous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He smiled and said to Yu Hu:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"At that time, Gang Leader Yu was able to find two martial artists who practiced force who were completely absent from the intelligence records to take action, which already surprised me. I never expected that Gang Leader Yu himself was actually a Dao foundation realm powerhouse. This skill of forbearance is truly admirable. I, Zhao, have rarely admired anyone in this life; Gang Leader Yu counts as one!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, he gave Yu Hu a thumbs up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The snowflakes in the courtyard dissipated, and the temperature began to rise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Hu withdrew his Cold Fiend Drifting Snow Force:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There is no need to say more idle words. Now you want to revitalize the An Shen Sect, and I want to reverse the decline for the Tiger Blade Gang; everyone gets what they need, and we can cooperate just right.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, he stood up and signaled to Zhao Yu:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sect Leader Zhao, please.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Yu smiled slightly and walked forward:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Gang Leader Yu, please.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two sat down together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Does Gang Leader Yu still intend to continue with the plan proposed by Private Secretary Zhang back then?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Yu asked directly after sitting down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Hu looked at him: \"Of course.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Yu smiled: \"Gang Leader Yu’s ambition remains unchanged, and I admire it. But in the current situation, I want to know what the attitude of the Stop-Gong Academy is? If there is no help from that Head Master Yan, how will Gang Leader Yu’s plan proceed?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t worry about the Stop-Gong Academy; Yan Yichen will definitely cooperate!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Hu said decisively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Yu looked into Yu Hu’s eyes, very curious about what means the other party used to manipulate a Head Master of the Stop-Gong Academy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he knew that this question involved a bottom line, so he didn’t ask more and continued:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Since that is the case, then we can push this plan forward.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Hu looked at him: \"The An Shen Sect has hundreds fewer people and hundreds fewer guns than when the plan was formulated. How do you plan to fill this vacancy?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Yu smiled confidently: \"Since I dared to come back, I naturally have the confidence to fill this vacancy.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Hu looked at him for a moment, then also began to laugh:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good, Sect Master Zhao is truly an outstanding person!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hahaha, you are too kind, Gang Leader Yu. Zhao is far inferior to you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Yu laughed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Hu quickly restrained his smile and said solemnly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"However, before pushing forward with the plan, we need to clear away a few obstacles first.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"One is the Great Leader of the Green Origin Fist Stronghold, one is the special-grade lecturer of the Martial Arts Hall, Hao Yi, and the last one is the captain of the First Battalion of the Inspectorate, Li Lei.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The last captain is easy to handle, but the first two are both Dao Foundation realm experts; they are too hard to kill. Does Gang Leader Yu already have a plan?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I do.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I would like to hear the details.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You should have also inquired in detail about the previous changes in the situation; the three people I want to kill all happen to be related to one person.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you talking about that student at the Martial Arts Hall named Li Fei?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Correct, it is precisely Li Fei!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Hu said with cold eyes:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He is Hao Yi's student, the martial nephew of the Great Leader of the Green Origin Fist Stronghold, and the foster son of the Inspectorate captain Li Lei. Hao Yi values this student highly, Li Lei treats him as his own, and that Great Leader cares very much about his senior brother, so as long as we capture Li Fei, we will have the opportunity to eliminate these three obstacles in one fell swoop!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As his voice fell, a chilling killing intent filled the courtyard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",2613,"2026-06-25T10:09:32.527Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","e2781eb51147407d19f15a1cce8765c35bae18b7da37b6bf0e7b233e71c3ce8f","this-martial-saint-has-too-much-hp-chapter-171","this-martial-saint-has-too-much-hp-chapter-169",895,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthis-martial-saint-has-too-much-hp-cover.jpg"]
