Chapter 207

Inside the cell, Li Fei operated the Geng Metal True Qi to the other party's liver, and then quietly lurked.

Liu Wenjun started trying "Return to One" from the liver, so Li Fei also operated his own innate Qi there, ready to make a move at any time.

Seeing that Li Fei had no outrageous actions, Liu Wenjun began to collect her mind and perform "Return to One":

She also used the 【Steel Armor】 implant; at first, the implant was the subcutaneous tissue spread all over the body, and then it began to "spread" into the body from the subcutaneous tissue, deep into muscles, bones, meridians, internal organs... from the surface to the inside.

If performing "Return to One", it needs to be reversed, from the inside to the outside, so Liu Wenjun started from the liver.

The innate Qi she practiced was Geng Metal Gang Qi; at this time, she used Geng Metal Gang Qi to start "shifting" the implant branches at the liver bit by bit.

She could also use strength, but strength was too domineering and easily hurt the implant, so the process of "Return to One" was usually done by martial artists using innate Qi.

If the branches of the implant rooted in the body are seen as threads, then the technique Liu Wenjun used at this time was "drawing silk from a cocoon", using an extremely gentle and delicate way to control innate Qi to draw the "threads" inside the liver out bit by bit.

This technique is actually the most common "Return to One Method", also called—Silk Drawing Method.

In the process of drawing silk, one cannot hurt the implant itself, and at the same time cannot hurt one's own body.

And in order not to affect the subsequent operation of innate Qi and the use of extraordinary abilities, one must also try to retain the original channels as much as possible during the process of drawing out the implant.

If using a metaphor, it is like a ball of silk thread being put into a piece of tofu, requiring someone to draw out all the silk threads without damaging the tofu itself, and preferably retaining the channels left by the silk threads inside the tofu as they were.

Once a slight mistake occurs, one has to spend time repairing the tofu and the silk threads, and then start over.

This difficulty can completely be said to be inhuman...

This is why some people spend decades unable to complete "Return to One".

It is really too difficult and too time-consuming!

Liu Wenjun carefully performed the "Silk Drawing Method" and soon immersed her mind completely in it.

"Silk Drawing Method" is the most common Return to One method and has many schools; Liu Wenjun used the "Segmentation School".

The characteristic of this school is to first cut off the "silk threads" inside the "tofu", and then draw them out bit by bit.

The advantage of doing this is that the difficulty of drawing out becomes smaller, and it is not easy to destroy the original channels during the drawing process.

Because "Return to One" involves too many details, many techniques have also been derived.

Some major martial arts schools or martial arts families master unique Return to One methods, which can make people complete "Return to One" faster and easier, thereby breaking through to the Dao Foundation Establishment stage.

This is also the advantage of these major forces.

This set of "Segmentation School" Return to One method Liu Wenjun mastered was taught to her by Yu Longqing; it cannot be said to be too good, nor too bad, belonging to the middle level.

She used this set of Return to One method to cut off the implant branches inside the liver, taking more than an hour to successfully cut off a small section of branches.

In this process, because all her mind was concentrated inside her body, she did not notice that Li Fei's temperament had changed:

Calm, empty, free, full of Zen!

Liu Wenjun stopped practicing and slowly opened her eyes, intending to rest first.

Li Fei also withdrew his hand pressing on her back, and the Zen on his body disappeared accordingly.

He closed his eyes, seemingly falling into deep thought.

Liu Wenjun just pretended Li Fei didn't exist; after resting for more than ten minutes, she intended to start trying again.

"Wait a moment."

But Li Fei stopped her.

Without waiting for her to turn around, Li Fei stretched out his right hand again to press on her back and hit a strand of Geng Metal True Qi:

"You watch me demonstrate it once first."

"Demonstrate?"

Liu Wenjun didn't understand Li Fei's meaning for a while.

The next second, the strand of Geng Metal True Qi he hit into her body was separated into a very, very small wisp and came to her liver.

Just by this hand, Liu Wenjun sighed at her own inferiority.

With her control over innate Qi, she had no way to separate innate Qi to such a subtle degree.

If she had to make a comparison, her limit was "noodles", while Li Fei's was "hair strands"!

This made her mood become a bit heavy.

Such powerful control meant being able to practice many high-difficulty martial arts, meaning being even more terrifying in battle.

So even if the two were in the same realm, she would likely not be the other party's opponent.

Just as she started to associate, Li Fei had already controlled that wisp of Geng Metal True Qi to drill into her liver and come near a branch of the implant.

Then this wisp of Geng Metal True Qi began to "simulate" cutting this implant branch.

The reason it was "simulated" cutting was because once Li Fei's innate Qi had contact with Liu Wenjun's 【Steel Armor】 implant, it would cause a strong rejection reaction, leading to unpredictable consequences.

The process of "Return to One" cannot be helped by external force and can only be done by controlling one's own innate Qi.

So Li Fei only controlled the Geng Metal True Qi to perform simulated cutting and did not really touch Liu Wenjun's 【Steel Armor】 implant.

Liu Wenjun was soon attracted by Li Fei's actions and collected her mind to perceive carefully.

Then she was surprised to find that this demonstration Li Fei gave her seemed to be really more convenient and faster than her previous technique.

"How is it possible? How did he do it?"

Liu Wenjun found it hard to believe.

Because the implant is fused with oneself, Liu Wenjun's perception of the implant in her body should be the clearest.

Even if Li Fei hit a strand of innate Qi to perceive it, it couldn't be more subtle than what she perceived.

The difference between the two is like one looking directly with eyes, and one groping bit by bit with hands.

As a result, this person "groping with hands" actually gave her more optimized guidance!

Comparing like this, she really looked like a blind person...

A moment later, Li Fei withdrew that wisp of Geng Metal True Qi, opened his eyes, and said to Liu Wenjun:

"Understand?"

Liu Wenjun: "..."

Li Fei frowned: "If you didn't understand, I will demonstrate it again."

"... Understood."

Liu Wenjun said numbly.

Li Fei: "Then continue."

So Liu Wenjun began to cut off her implant branches again according to the technique Li Fei just demonstrated.

In the following time, every time she completed a step, Li Fei would give targeted guidance.

These guidances also had times when mistakes appeared, but the vast majority of the guidance was useful!

Just like that, the two stayed in the cell for more than five hours, and it was almost dawn.

Li Fei stood up from the ground, intending to stop this practice.

Not only was Liu Wenjun's mind consumption huge, unable to continue "Return to One", but his mind consumption was also very large and needed rest.

"That's it for today; I will come again tomorrow."

Li Fei left a sentence and then walked out of the cell in Liu Wenjun's complex eyes.

Rumble—

The thick steel wall fell again, making the whole cell gradually darken.

Li Fei left the Green-Faced Villa secretly; after confirming that no one was following him, he walked into an unmanned stronghold, sat cross-legged in the room, and began to think and summarize the harvest tonight.

"Red Sound Fire Vajra Method" records a "Contemplation of Self Method", which is a practice method used in Buddhist martial arts to assist "Return to One".

Because everyone's physique is different and the implants they incorporate are different, even the same implant has many subtle differences, so no Return to One method in this world dares to say it is applicable to everyone.

The best Return to One methods are all summarized by martial artists combining their own situations.

Based on this, the Buddhist holy land Pudu Temple created a "Contemplation of Self Method".

The so-called "Contemplation of Self" represents the wisdom that transcends everything in Buddhism; "Contemplation of Self Method" is to use the wisdom sufficient to transcend everything to perceive and solve obstacles in practice.

Of course, there are too many obstacles in practice, so this practice method mainly targets "Return to One", which can make people immerse themselves in a state of mind full of Zen.

The heart is like a mirror, reflecting everything!

Running the "Contemplation of Self Method", Li Fei can perceive the most subtle changes of the implant in his body, and at the same time, inspiration will continue, and he can quickly think of solutions to any problems he encounters.

As the saying goes, giving a man a fish is not as good as teaching him how to fish; mastering the "Contemplation of Self Method" is more useful than mastering most of the Return to One methods in this world!

Li Fei previously relied on the "Contemplation of Self Method" to perceive the situation in Liu Wenjun's body, thereby constantly offering guidance.

He did this, of course, not to help the other party break the realm, but to "observe the Dao".

Even possessing the "Contemplation of Self Method", Li Fei cannot guarantee that he will not make any mistakes in the process of "Return to One".

So he wanted to "observe the Dao" through Liu Wenjun first, accumulate enough experience, and at the same time do some experiments on the other party, so as to ensure that his own "Return to One" could be fast enough and perfect enough!

The wrong guidance he gave Liu Wenjun before was more of his experiments based on his own situation, wanting to see what kind of results would happen if he did so.

Although in this way, after he finished guiding Liu Wenjun every day, he had no energy to perform "Return to One" himself.

But if you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools; rather than making mistakes during "Return to One" and spending time slowly repairing your body and implant, it is better to make full preparations and reach the goal in one step.

After thinking for a while in the room, Li Fei took out paper and pen to record the plan he thought of and summarized, so as not to forget some details and inspiration later.

Just like that, he recorded until dawn; Li Fei put the notes on his body and then left this stronghold secretly.

More than an hour later, he returned to the Martial University in his own identity.

First, he went to the Academic Affairs Office building to re-register his realm.

He completed the realm break during the holiday and had been busy dealing with various things in the identity of the Green-Faced Ghost since then, and had not had time to register his realm at the Martial University.

Soon, Li Fei completed the registration and gained 20 credits.

The news that he broke the realm again spread throughout the Martial University!

In just over four months of enrollment, he broke through from late Break-Body to late Qi-Transformation; such speed is really too perverted!

"How long will it take for Li Fei to break through to the Dao Foundation Establishment stage?"

This is something many students, including lecturers, are curious about.

Back then, Wang Fengqing took a whole year to break through from late Qi-Transformation to Dao Foundation Establishment; this speed was already terrifying and was definitely a speed sufficient to be recorded in history.

But with the terrifying talent Li Fei shows now, is it possible that his speed of breaking the realm will be faster?

Half a year to complete Return to One?

Or three months?

Just thinking about it makes people's scalps numb!

When this news spread from the Martial University, the major forces of the entire Datong Prefecture were similarly shaken.

You must know that Li Fei previously stood out clearly to support Shangguan Xiao, which was equivalent to standing on the side of the Zhang family.

Now that the Zhang family has officially formed an alliance with the Qingyuan City Management Company, Li Fei's breaking of the realm means that perhaps not long after, this alliance will have one more Dao Foundation Establishment powerhouse!

And a peerless genius like Li Fei will have an upper limit of at least a 5th-grade Dao Foundation Establishment start in the future, and maybe in a few years, he will be another powerhouse on the Wind and Cloud List.

This makes all major forces have to attach importance to it!

"Li Fei, come to my office for a while."

At noon, while eating in the cafeteria, Wen Ke walked to Li Fei's dining table and said to him softly.

"Good, Professor Wen."

Li Fei nodded in agreement.

After the meal, he came to the Academic Affairs Office building again and walked into Wen Ke's office.

"Congratulations, you broke the realm again."

Wen Ke signaled Li Fei to sit down and then said with a smile.

"Thanks, Professor Wen."

"Vajra Strength is very pure, and your intent power is strong enough; you should be able to start Return to One very soon; have you thought about which way to use?"

Wen Ke asked.

Return to One methods mainly fall into two categories: "Silk Drawing Method" and "Return to Source Method".

Return to Source Method is to let the implant "return to its origin" through special techniques; how it grew out back then is how it shrinks back now.

The advantage of this method is that it is safe enough and not easy to hurt the implant and oneself, but the disadvantage is that the speed is too slow, often taking decades.

Actually, this method is most suitable for those young geniuses, because they have enough time to slowly Return to One.

But it just so happens that all geniuses are confident and disdain to use this method to slowly break the realm.

So those who really use the Return to Source Method are those whose aptitude is mediocre and whose control over innate Qi is insufficient, so they can only choose to gamble on luck, gambling that they can complete Return to One before the implant enters the aging period.

Wen Ke believed that Li Fei certainly would not choose the Return to Source Method.

Sure enough, Li Fei said without hesitation: "I want to use the Silk Drawing Method to complete Return to One."

"Hmm."

Wen Ke nodded, "The 'Red Sound Fire Vajra Method' you obtained should record a 'Contemplation of Self Method'; this method is very compatible with Vajra Strength and can assist in practicing the Eight Vajra Parts, so it was recorded in the Eight Vajra Parts. Having mastered the Contemplation of Self Method, you only need to master one more Silk Drawing Method."

She specifically called Li Fei to the office today to recommend a suitable Silk Drawing Method for Li Fei.

Asking for monthly tickets, there is more tonight.
