Chapter 189: Double Realm Breakthrough

Datong Fucheng.

Human Face Villa.

Chen Yuyu walked in the jungle trembling, always feeling that an exotic beast would rush out at any time.

A moment later, he was brought to the lakeside where Yu Longqing often fished.

The "Beast King" was still fishing today.

Chen Yuyu walked over cautiously and respectfully shouted "Beast King."

Yu Longqing didn't even look at him, his eyes still fixed on the lake surface.

Cold sweat broke out on Chen Yuyu's forehead, and he just stood on the side, bent over, waiting quietly.

He was Chen Yujing's third brother, having rushed from Xingcheng to Datong Fucheng to seek help from the "Beast King."

Ten-plus minutes later, Yu Longqing suddenly lifted his fishing rod and caught a large fish over a meter long.

After pulling the fish ashore, he turned to look at Chen Yuyu:

"It's almost the end of the month; can the Chen family deliver the goods on time this month?"

Chen Yuyu's heart sank, and he hurriedly said: "As long as the 'Beast King' can help us out, we will definitely be able to deliver the goods on time!"

"Help you? How to help?"

"Destroy the Qingyuan City Management Company!"

Chen Yuyu gritted his teeth and said.

The Inspectorate and the Supervisory Academy could strike the Chen family, but they couldn't directly send people to occupy Chen Village; when it came to specific territory disputes, they still had to rely on Jianghu forces.

But when it came to Jianghu forces, the Chen family couldn't compete with the Qingyuan City Management Company, because the other party had a Green-Faced Ghost who was on the Wind and Cloud List!

Actually, destroying the Qingyuan City Management Company also met Yu Longqing's interests, which was why Chen Yujing sent Chen Yuyu.

Otherwise, did he really think the "Beast King" was doing charity?

"Where are my goods now?"

Yu Longqing asked.

"Currently, they are all in the warehouse of the Xingcheng Inspectorate."

Chen Yuyu said.

A portion of the medicinal herbs stored in Chen Village was taken away by the Inspectorate, and among these medicinal herbs were the raw materials Yu Longqing needed.

"Trash!"

Yu Longqing scolded.

Chen Yuyu's body trembled, and he hurriedly said:

"As long as Chen Village can be taken back, give us half a month, and we guarantee that we can send you the goods you need!"

Chen Village had been picking herbs for generations; every household had herb pickers. Only these locals knew best which medicinal herbs grew in which places in the mountains, and which places could be used to farm which medicinal herbs, and only they could get those rare medicinal herbs on the towering mountains and steep cliffs.

This was why Yu Longqing hadn't directly taken over Chen Village but had always maintained cooperation with the Chen family.

Without the help of the Chen family, the local snake, the raw materials he wanted were indeed very difficult to get.

"Can you still control the villagers of Chen Village now?"

Yu Longqing asked.

"Absolutely!"

Chen Yuyu said affirmatively, "The Chen family has operated there for more than sixty years; even if the Qingyuan City Management Company occupies that place with force, their words will absolutely not be obeyed!"

"Take him down."

Yu Longqing finally didn't give any promise and waved his hand to have Chen Yuyu taken down.

After Chen Yuyu left, Yu Longqing called a subordinate:

"Have you checked clearly?"

"Checked clearly, the Qingyuan City Management Company is indeed trading with Luo Yifu of the provincial capital in secret."

"Then go prepare; I want to swallow another batch of his goods, I want the Green-Faced Ghost to watch with his own eyes as those exotic beasts in his farm starve to death one by one!"

Yu Longqing said with murderous intent in his eyes.

Xingcheng, Martial Arts Hall.

In the practice room, Hao Yi continued to urge the Heaven and Earth Furnace Strength to wrap around Li Fei's whole body.

Dark golden light flowed on the surface of Li Fei's body, as if some kind of liquid was flowing.

When Jin Gang Strength presented this state, it meant that the strength was already relatively condensed.

Once it truly reached the level of "Golden Liquid Flowing Light," Li Fei would have completely stepped into the late Qi Transformation stage.

A moment later, Hao Yi put away the strength.

Li Fei still maintained the Jin Gang Strength circulating on his body surface, and only stopped after more than half an hour.

He opened his eyes and bowed to Hao Yi:

"Thank you for your hard work, Master."

Hao Yi looked at him: "Your progress speed is much faster than I expected, and you are very close to a breakthrough."

Li Fei had been delayed by the Chen family's matter for a few days, and originally thought he wouldn't be able to complete the breakthrough with the help of Hao Yi's Heaven and Earth Furnace Strength during this half-month vacation.

Yet he didn't expect his progress to be very fast, and the forging effect of the Heaven and Earth Furnace Strength was very good!

"I hope you can cross that last step with your own strength; this will be more beneficial to your future cultivation."

Hao Yi said.

Li Fei nodded: "The student understands."

This was Hao Yi.

Although he would help him take shortcuts, for those truly important barriers, Hao Yi would absolutely not let Li Fei take shortcuts.

"In the late Qi Transformation stage, the most important thing is the condensation of strength, which requires the drive of heart-will power. Currently, your heart-will power is already enough; what is missing is just a bit of will to penetrate through it."

Hao Yi said.

"Will to penetrate through it?"

Li Fei looked at Hao Yi.

"A martial artist's heart-will power is closely related to spiritual will. A person's greatest desire often represents their strongest spiritual will. I once asked you why you wanted to become a martial artist; do you remember your answer?"

Hao Yi asked.

Li Fei nodded and said word by word: "To master my own destiny."

"Hmm, this is your spiritual will; remember it, feel it, use it to drive your heart-will power, and cross that last step."

Hao Yi said, and then he took something out of his bosom and handed it to Li Fei.

Li Fei took it from his hand; it was a crystal ball the size of an egg.

It was crystal clear, with many glowing particles the size of sand grains inside, like a miniature galaxy.

"This is a kind of spell-casting material called Lingliu. Because it has a special response to human spiritual will, it can be used to exercise heart-will power."

Hao Yi explained to Li Fei.

Li Fei knew about "Lingliu" because this material could also be used to practice the performance of spells.

This made him think of a question:

Is the cultivation of the spell path, which cultivates human spiritual power, closely related to the martial artist's heart-will power?

It's just that the spiritual power of the spell path can be manifested through spells, while the martial artist's heart-will power can only be manifested in the control of implants, Innate Qi, and strength.

One is outward, one is inward.

"Perhaps the reason I was able to approach the breakthrough so quickly is because I am also practicing spells at the same time; the growth of 【Phantom Leaf】 has strengthened my spiritual power, which has also synchronously enhanced my heart-will power? Are the two one body and two sides?"

Li Fei couldn't help but think so.

It's a pity that there was no one around him who practiced both martial arts and spells, so he couldn't ask.

"Hold this Lingliu with both hands, urge your heart-will power, as if your momentum is bursting, locking your energy on a target. After this Lingliu senses it, the glaze sand inside will change; try to concentrate all the scattered glaze sand together, the more condensed the better."

Hao Yi began to guide Li Fei on how to use Lingliu, "In this process, you must constantly recall your original intention of practicing martial arts, find your greatest desire in your heart, use this will to further stimulate your heart-will power, and penetrate it..."

Actually, content involving spiritual will was almost all something that could only be understood but not explained.

Just like the state of mind, if you understand it, you understand it; if you don't understand it, no matter how you teach it, it's useless.

Hao Yi let Li Fei use Lingliu to practice; although there was an extra object that could be directly observed, when it came to specific operations, it still mostly relied on Li Fei himself to explore and comprehend.

Li Fei held the Lingliu with both hands, urging his momentum as if facing an enemy, locking his energy on it.

The next second, the countless tiny glowing particles inside the Lingliu began to move.

Actually, these particles had always been flowing slowly, just that the flow speed accelerated at this time.

Li Fei followed Hao Yi's guidance, trying to control these particles to condense and concentrate toward the middle.

A few minutes later, the particles that were originally scattered all over the place condensed into a ball in the center of the Lingliu.

Hao Yi saw this scene and couldn't help but nod.

When he used Lingliu to exercise heart-will power, he wasn't as relaxed as Li Fei and spent several days to reach the step Li Fei was at now.

So this student of his was indeed a peerless genius!

Inside the Lingliu, although all the particles gathered into a ball, the middle was hollow and didn't completely shrink and condense together.

And next, no matter how Li Fei urged his heart-will power, he couldn't make these particles shrink and condense further.

"Penetration of spiritual will?"

Li Fei had a sudden realization and somewhat understood what Hao Yi meant.

"You have already consumed a lot of spiritual power when forging strength just now; go back and rest well before trying again."

Hao Yi said to Li Fei.

He also didn't expect Li Fei to successfully break through today.

"Good."

Li Fei put away the Lingliu and bid farewell to Hao Yi.

At night, Li Fei took medicine in his room to meditate, urging the growth of 【Phantom Leaf】.

After completing the spell cultivation, his spiritual state was much stronger than it was this afternoon.

Then he took out the Lingliu for a second attempt.

Holding the Lingliu with both hands, he urged his heart-will power.

Soon, the glowing particles inside the Lingliu condensed into a ball, only the middle was still hollow.

Li Fei began to recall everything he had experienced along the way:

First arriving in this world, seeing the corpse of the noodle shop owner, the cruel truth learned after entering the Martial Arts Hall, killing officials, killing secretaries...

Every time he recalled a past event, his thirst for power in his heart became firmer.

The last thing he thought of was on Tie Feng Mountain, where he was forced by Xu Jing and had to fight his way through.

That wasn't what he wanted, but he couldn't refuse.

Only by mastering powerful power could he master his own destiny!

At a certain moment, a light lit up on Li Fei's brow, and a leaf-shaped pattern appeared.

This was the appearance when the 【Phantom Leaf】 implant was triggered.

But at this time, Li Fei didn't perform a spell; he just stared at the Lingliu in his hand with a firm gaze, and the glowing particles inside were continuing to shrink and condense little by little...

Ten-plus seconds later, all the particles were completely condensed together, with no gaps left!

Boom—

Li Fei's heart shook, and then the 【Steel Armor】 implant in his body began to change.

Not only that, the 【Phantom Leaf】 implant also changed.

"This is..."

Li Fei carefully sensed the situation of the two implants.

The change in the 【Steel Armor】 implant was the same as the change after every breakthrough before, further strengthening body tissues such as muscles, bones, meridians, and internal organs.

And the change in 【Phantom Leaf】 was that the growth speed accelerated, releasing some kind of substance, giving Li Fei a feeling of being soaked in ice water, his spiritual power stimulated and rapidly strengthening.

"【Steel Armor】 broke through, breaking through to the late Qi Transformation stage; 【Phantom Leaf】 also broke through, breaking through to the mid Body-Breaking stage!"

Li Fei quickly reached a conclusion.

He didn't expect that practicing both martial arts and spells had such benefits.

Now he could be sure that the heart-will power of martial arts cultivation and the spiritual power of spell cultivation were closely related; if one was enhanced, the other would also be enhanced.

However, after the breakthrough, what followed was that the two implants produced strong interference again; Li Fei took more than a dozen Ice-Continuity Pills in a row to alleviate the restlessness of the two implants.

"It seems I need to prepare more powerful medicine later."

Li Fei thought.

The interference produced by the two implants would only get stronger and stronger, and he must take medicine with stronger medicinal power to suppress it.

This kind of medicine also meant that the damage to the human body would further increase; fortunately, Li Fei had the Ten Thousand Blood Pearl, so he didn't need to worry about this.

In the room, Li Fei pointed, and a golden Jin Gang Strength was shot out by him; this Jin Gang Strength finally stopped in front of the wall, and then flew back into Li Fei's hand.

Breaking through to the late Qi Transformation stage, he could release strength externally, could make strength mimic shapes, and could use more "high-end operations."

The most intuitive point was the "Jin Gang Seal."

Before, Li Fei performed the Jin Gang Seal, he had to form seals with both hands first, which was very inconvenient in battle.

But now that he had broken through to the late Qi Transformation stage, performing the Jin Gang Seal didn't need to form seals with both hands anymore; he could release strength externally to mimic shapes outside the body, thereby replacing the process of forming seals.

In addition, most of the techniques and moves of the Red-Sound Fire Jin Gang Method, one of the Eight Jin Gang Departments, also had to be performed in the late Qi Transformation stage.

So this breakthrough was a huge increase in Li Fei's combat power!

After he familiarized himself with the strength control in the room for a while, the phone in the living room suddenly rang.

He walked out of the bedroom, walked into the living room, and picked up the receiver:

"Hello?"

"Xiao Fei?"

Shangguan Xiao's voice came from the other end of the phone.

"It's me, Master Aunt."

"I have already arranged everything on my side; those people in your company have all left the prefecture city in batches."

"Good, thank you for your hard work, Master Aunt."

"You still have to be careful; Yu Longqing might get the news. If he discovers the location where you receive the goods, he will definitely send people to intercept and kill you!"

"I understand, Master Aunt, rest assured."

Hanging up the phone, Li Fei returned to the bedroom.

Reaching a deal with Luo Yifu in the provincial capital was more than ten days ago. Normally, that batch of exotic beast rations could have been sent over long ago, but to cover eyes and ears and not be discovered by others, Luo Yifu cooperated with Li Fei to do a lot of smoke screens, transporting the goods quietly in batches.

So it wasn't until the day after tomorrow that this batch of exotic beast rations would arrive at the border of Datong Prefecture, waiting for Li Fei's people to pick them up.

The exotic beast farm mastered by Li Fei had run out of rations; if they couldn't be supplied with rations, the exotic beasts inside would starve to death one after another.

So this batch of goods must be delivered to Xingcheng smoothly no matter what!

Only one chapter today, it's about to enter the climax, need to deliberate a bit
