One month passed by in the blink of an eye. Wang Lu's cultivation life once again returned to the past two years. During the day, he would be a top student in the Misty Peak, and at night, he would go back to the Non-Phase Peak to refine his bone. His days were simple and fulfilling.
After experiencing the hardships of the first level, the cultivation of Non-Phase Sword Bone finally went on the right track and gradually became more humane. At least, it wouldn't make people hover between life and death.
However, according to his Master, it didn't mean that Non-Phase Sword Bone didn't have any side effects, but rather, after cultivating it to the first level, his pain tolerance had reached the point where he wouldn't be affected by favor or disgrace. Let alone the pain of the old body being destroyed and the new body being created, even if his partner was cut in his sleep, he wouldn't wake up because of the pain!
After listening to this explanation, Wang Lu and his companions were immediately shocked! If people didn't feel pain, wouldn't they become a pit bull? However, on the bright side, it was much better than having menstrual pain every day, so he just had to make do with it. However, when he reached the third level, Wang Lu discovered another deceptive thing about this martial art.
It didn't have any attribute bonus!
It stood to reason that this kind of body refining technique, whose lower limit was the Foundation Establishment Stage, should have the ability to strengthen the body far above the mortal world's martial arts. Wang Lu broke through three levels in a week. Not to mention the Dragon and Elephant Divine Force, he should at least have the strength of an ox, running like the wind. However, this week's effort was like a stone sinking into the sea. What's worse, his long-distance running speed seemed to have decreased a bit!
When he asked his Master, his Master earnestly said, "Non-Phase Sword Bone is broad and profound, so it's impossible to see results in a short period of time. Ten years later, you will understand Master's painstaking efforts.
Understand your ass! Ten years later, wait for this father to dig out your painstaking efforts! "
Thereupon, that night, Wang Lu ran away from home and went to the Lady Boss.
Regarding Wang Lu's request, the Lady Boss gladly accepted it. In her words, training a rare martial arts genius was an irresistible temptation for any martial arts master.
"Don't worry, I will definitely teach you everything I know. Although I don't know much about cultivation, even if it's just the martial arts of the mortal world, it will be enough for you to use until you reach Foundation Establishment."
Wang Lu has also heard about this point. Legend has it that the top martial artists in the mortal world were able to kill Qi Cultivating Stage cultivators. Until the cultivator successfully reached the Foundation Establishment Stage, the Jade Mansion was formed, and the magical power was connected inside and outside, then the martial arts in the mortal world were basically ineffective … However, even in the elite gathering place like the Lingjian School, from the Body Forging Stage to the Foundation Establishment Stage was not a matter of three to five years. Therefore, the Lady Boss's martial arts would be effective for at least three to five years. Even if he succeeded in building his foundation in the future, the martial arts of the mortal world would not be effective immediately. However, there were still some common principles behind it.
Thereupon, he officially began to practice, still starting from the [Divine Skill of Subduing the Dragon]. After all, it was a basic skill that the Lady Boss seriously recommended. It was said that it could strengthen the body in all aspects. As long as he mastered the first layer, he would have the strength of a tiger or leopard, comparable to a Great Martial Master.
Thereupon, Wang Lu mastered the first layer of the [Divine Skill of Subduing the Dragon] in three days. On the day he succeeded, the Lady Boss specially made a whole pot of soy sauce pig trotters to celebrate Wang Lu's success. Her thoughtfulness made people feel warm.
However, after eating the pig trotters and practicing martial arts with the Lady Boss in the forest, a problem arose.
"I say, Lady Boss, according to what you said, right now I should have the speed of a cheetah, the strength of a tiger, and the tenacity of a bison … right?"
The Lady Boss nodded. "Yes, after mastering the first layer of the [Divine Skill of Subduing the Dragon], you should at least have this standard. What's wrong?"
Wang Lu was silent for a long time. "I always feel that there is no change."
The Lady Boss was surprised. "Impossible! Your Dragon Vein has just formed, and your True Qi is born inside your body. I can see it clearly, how could there be no effect, unless … "
Speaking to this, the Lady Boss seemed to think of something. Her pair of shapely eyebrows deeply twisted together, like a worried little wife.
"I think I understand what's going on, this is the overlay phenomenon."
Overlay phenomenon?
The Lady Boss helplessly explained, "This is not difficult to understand. High-level martial arts have an overlay effect on low-level martial arts. For example, if you cultivate the [Six Yang Snow Melting Technique], and then after a period of time you cultivate the more profound [Nine Yang Divine Skill], then your internal force attribute will reflect the characteristics of the Nine Yang Divine Skill, and the [Six Yang Snow Melting Technique] will be overlaid by the [Nine Yang Divine Skill]. But now … Although the [Divine Skill of Subduing the Dragon] is the closest martial art to an Immortal Cultivation Method, the Non-Phase Sword Bone is a genuine Immortal Cultivation Method. Therefore, it is overlaid. "
Hearing this, Wang Lu simply wanted to vomit blood. This Non-Phase Sword Bone, how much of a fraud is it? It doesn't add any attribute, but it also overlaid other people's attribute increasing cultivation method! Master, you can actually create this kind of exotic cultivation method, your disciple really kneels down to you!
The Lady Boss also wryly smiled. "Let's get over it. I know a little bit about the Non-Phase Sword Bone. Although the early stage is indeed a bit of a fraud, it is indeed worthy of the name of an Immortal Cultivation Method. The [Divine Skill of Subduing the Dragon] cannot be compared to it."
Lady Boss, instead of using this kind of nonsense reason to persuade me to get over it, why don't you be a bit more direct and persuade me to fantasize about the scene of my Master being gang-raped …
Seeing that her persuasion was ineffective, the Lady Boss hurriedly said, "If you don't want to practice the [Divine Skill of Subduing the Dragon], then don't practice it. In any case, it's just a basic attribute increasing cultivation method, we can directly practice the fighting method … I happen to have a few sets of sword arts that are more suitable for you."
Wang Lu shook his head. "Forget it, my Master still has a set of Non-Phase Sword Art waiting to be used to swindle me."
"… Em, that's true. How about this, let's practice footwork! This won't be a problem. Wang Wu has always ignored the technique of movement. There's no Lightness Skill in the [Non-Phase Method], so let's practice this! "
Footwork? Dodging and short-distance burst? That's possible! Although in the future, when he succeeded in the Immortal Cultivation Stage, there would be nothing he couldn't do, and the mortal world's footwork would simply be a joke, but before reaching the Foundation Establishment Stage, even the cultivators of the Lingjian School basically didn't have the ability to fly.
Being able to use it until the Foundation Establishment Stage is enough. Master, please accept this disciple's worship!
Then, Wang Lu once again inserted his chopsticks into the rice bowl and bowed his head in worship.
In the next few days, Wang Lu followed the Lady Boss and began to practice footwork. The strange thing was, the footwork that the Lady Boss taught him was neither the legendary [Water Rippling Subtle Step] that had the strongest dodging ability, nor the [Ghost Shadow Step] that was known to be able to turn into a phantom and confuse the enemy with an afterimage. Instead, it was called [Winding Step], which required an amazing balance and toughness to display.
As the name implied, the main point of [Winding Step] was to entangle the opponent. Once the opponent was entangled, no matter what, the opponent would not be able to get rid of it. Like a sticky candy, it didn't emphasize on dodging, and it also lacked explosive ability. However, in a one on one fight, it could often display a miraculous effect.
Wang Lu didn't know why the Lady Boss would deliberately teach him this kind of footwork, but she wouldn't be like his Master who was deceiving him. Therefore, the [Winding Step] was the [Winding Step], it was good enough that he could learn it.
In this way, Wang Lu began his stressful life of being a top student, [Sword Bone], and [Winding Step]. In the morning, he would do long-distance running, take a medicinal bath, and refine his bones. At noon, he would take a cultural class at the Misty Peak to earn sect points. After class, he would go down the mountain to find the Lady Boss to practice [Winding Step], and at night, he would return to the Non-Phase Peak to sleep.
Two months later, the [Winding Step] had reached perfection. Although he didn't have the ability to move like flying, or to transform into shadows, but after mastering the essence of this footwork, Wang Lu didn't think that the [Winding Step] was inferior to other footwork like [Floating Wave Subtle Step].
This was a magical footwork that could bring out the user's strength to the extreme. This point was especially profound when he was picking herbs on the Non-Phase Peak to earn pocket money. In the past, when he went to pick herbs on the mountain, Wang Lu could only bully wild monkeys, hares, and pheasants. When he encountered wild boars, wild wolves, and the like, he could only run away like a stray dog. But now that he had reached the advanced level of the [Winding Step], although he didn't cultivate any offensive martial art, and his Master's [Non-Phase Sword Bone] was especially deceptive, even if he encountered those ferocious beasts, he still had the strength to fight.
In order to prove himself, on the third day of reaching the advanced level of the [Winding Step], Wang Lu went deep into the wilderness of the Non-Phase Peak and found a one-eyed black bear that had a grudge with him for two years.
For the past two years, when Wang Lu was picking herbs on the mountain, he hated this bear the most because it occupied the growing area of the Spirit Grass. The bear was not a high-level monster that could summon the wind and summon the rain, but it was just a stupid, lazy, and stupid bear. However, in the Spirit Sword Mountain, where the Feng Shui line converged, it knew the benefits of the Spirit Grass. Every day, like a gardener, it patrolled the mountain, protecting the Spirit Grass. Thus, it had an irreconcilable feud with Wang Lu, who relied on picking herbs to earn money.
In the past two years, whenever he encountered this stupid bear, Wang Lu could only turn around and run away. In any case, by relying on the terrain advantage, coupled with his unique dexterity and endurance, he was not afraid of being hurt by the bear. However, his plan to pick herbs had been repeatedly blocked. However, now that he had reached the advanced level of the [Winding Step], Wang Lu's confidence was bursting. He thought that today was the day for a gentleman to take his revenge. Thus, he was too lazy to wait for the black bear to appear. He directly strode into the black bear's cave.
That day, Wang Lu woke up very early. When he arrived at the mountain, the sky was still dark. Inside the cave, the black bear's saliva dripped from its mouth as if it was having a good dream. Wang Lu bluntly went up to it and kicked its nose!
Woo!!
The heart-wrenching and lung-splitting howl, as well as the gushing nosebleed, made Wang Lu feel incomparably refreshed. The black bear covered its nose and stood up. Its single eye, which was filled with tears, emitted a blood-red hateful light.
F * ck you! It's been two years, are you done yet? Usually, you come up the mountain to steal my Spirit Grass and Elixirs, but now, you actually come to my door, calling me in bed and plotting against me!? Did I provoke you!? F * ck you, go to hell!
Aowuu!
The black bear let out a stern roar as it waved its paws, causing a gust of wind to blow. The pounce of this wild beast was enough to shatter gold and shatter stone. However, Wang Lu was not flustered at all. With a move of his feet and a swing of his upper body, he nimbly dodged the sweep of the bear's paw.
Animals like black bears looked clumsy, but in reality, they were much faster and more agile than ordinary humans. After missing its first attack, the black bear followed up with another palm strike. Pang Shuo's body also pounced forward, squeezing the opponent's space to dodge. As for Wang Lu, he had just taken a step back, so his center of gravity was unstable.
However, in the next moment, Wang Lu's figure flashed, and like a ghost, he circled around the black bear like a ghost. Taking advantage of the fact that the black bear couldn't stop himself, he climbed onto its back!
The Winding Step's requirement for flexibility was vividly reflected. The essence of this footwork was that when it was needed, it was clearly moving close to the body, but it seemed as if it was far away, making it impossible for the opponent to reach it.
After successfully dodging twice, Wang Lu had already figured out the opponent's background … There was no pressure at all. As long as he relied on this set of footwork, even in a narrow space like the cave, he didn't need to be afraid of this crazy beast.
The only problem was that, although he wouldn't be injured, Wang Lu, who had never learned any fighting techniques, couldn't hurt this black bear with its rough skin and thick flesh. There was no other way, so he could only exhaust it. In any case, Wang Lu's endurance was astonishing, so he didn't believe that he couldn't exhaust it to death!
After more than four hours, when Wang Lu felt a little hungry, the black bear, who had been practicing the Mad Dog Fist for the whole morning, finally couldn't hold on any longer and lay down with a thud.
This slightly intelligent black bear had completely lost its temper after being tortured by Wang Lu. No matter how he hit it, he couldn't hit it! Running away, that bastard was still relentlessly following behind it. From time to time, he would use his magical footwork to trip it up, causing it to fall like an idiot. Then, he would take the opportunity to kick its nose.
After four hours, the black bear's nose was almost broken, and it was covered in mud from falling into the forest. As for Wang Lu, he was still calmly stepping on its back.
Woo woo …
The black bear let out a weak howl, and finally unwillingly showed its weakness. After Wang Lu heard this, he walked down from its back. The black bear struggled to prop itself up, and slowly crawled back to its cave. Then, it pulled out a white cloth from somewhere, grabbed it with its claws, and slowly shook it.
Fuck, this bear knows this move!?
This time, even Wang Lu was shocked. He thought to himself, Immortal Path Sect is indeed worthy of being called Immortal Path Sect. Even this stupid bear can understand human nature, and it can even pull a white flag and act cute!?
Well, since you've admitted defeat, there's no need for me to kill you. We've been neighbors for two years, so let's get along well in the future.
Wang Lu patted the black bear's head, turned around, and left, leaving only his lonely back reflected in the black bear's tearful eyes.
—
Complacently returning to his own cabin, Wang Lu was surprised to find that his Master, who would normally be drunk like a fool at this time, was actually sitting in the living room, reading a book! "King Pill Technique!?"
What the hell, this fool actually knows how to read! He actually didn't hold the book upside down! He's actually reading a serious cultivation book, not a * * *! My dear Master, your shameless rogue image has collapsed!
When his Master saw Wang Lu, she was also surprised. "Hey, your face is full of spring radiance … Could it be that you've been looking for flowers?"
I'm asking you a question!
"Mm, during this time, you've been cultivating very hard. Although I insist that mortal world's martial arts are purely a waste of time, fortunately, you didn't delay the cultivation of Non-Phase Sword Bone, which is very good." His Master said and closed the "King Pill Technique" in her hand. "By the way, I also want to tell you a piece of good news. Congratulations, your Non-Phase Sword Bone has reached the last level before the Qi Refining Stage."
Wang Lu raised his eyebrows. "The last level?"
"Yes, after completing the eighth layer of Non-Phase Sword Bone, you can officially start the Qi Refining Stage. Moreover, don't you often complain that this Non-Phase Sword Bone is deceiving you, that it doesn't add any attribute? In fact, the change of Non-Phase Sword Bone has already happened, it's just that you haven't been aware of it. However, after you complete the eighth layer, there will be a significant improvement. Unless you're black hearted and blind, otherwise, you will never say something stupid like this Non-Phase Sword Bone is deceiving you. "
Wang Lu cried out in surprise. He was stunned by his Master's self-righteous face, as if what she said was true.
Then let's wait and see. According to the speed of the previous seven layers, in a week at most, the result will be clear. Whether this Non-Phase Sword Bone is really a peerless technique or a pure deceiving you, at that time, it will be clear at a glance.
"It's not that easy." His Master coldly said, "The cultivation of Non-Phase Sword Bone is not something that can be completed by just cultivating in seclusion."
Wang Lu asked, "Then what else do you want?"
Thereupon, his Master counted with her fingers. "First is the medicinal pill. From the eighth layer onwards, the cultivation of Non-Phase Sword Bone must be supplemented with medicinal pills. For daily cultivation, you need to take a dose of Non-Phase Bone Strengthening Powder every day, and when you break through, you need to take a Non-Phase Bone Strengthening Pill. Next is the spirit stone. When you break through, you need to use the surrounding spiritual energy to quickly wash your meridians. Relying on the Essence Gathering Array to gather the spiritual energy is not efficient enough. At least, you need several low-rank spirit stones. Finally, there is a master teacher. When you break through, the spiritual energy will go berserk, so you need a master teacher like me to hold the line. Among these three conditions, I can easily solve the last two for you. However, regarding the medicinal pill, you need to work hard on it. To refine the Non-Phase Bone Strengthening Pill, you need a Vermilion Fruit. I don't have this thing, and I can't afford it. I'm sorry, even if you scold me, I can't afford it. Right now, the Elders' discount price is three thousand spirit stones per Vermilion Fruit. Even if I can afford it, I won't buy it, do you understand? "
Wang Lu was shocked. The price of a Vermilion Fruit at three thousand spirit stones is indeed not expensive. It's not strange for it to be ten times more expensive outside. The problem is that it's an elixir that only cultivators after the Foundation Building Realm can use. I'm just a small fry in the Body Refining Realm, and I actually need a Vermilion Fruit or three thousand spirit stones to assist my cultivation!?
His master smiled bitterly and didn't explain anything. Instead, he continued, "Vermilion Fruits actually grow quite a lot in the Blue Cloud Peak. However, that's the Sect's strategic resource reserve. Even the Sect Leader can't casually go there to pick them. Only disciples like you who have just started cultivating and are still at a low realm are not restricted. I don't think I need to explain the reason, right?"
It was indeed not hard to understand. It was to encourage the young disciples to bravely explore and challenge their limits.
"It just so happens that in a few days, the Misty Peak and the Carefree Peak will organize new disciples to go to the Blue Cloud Peak for training. You should go with them. Think of a way to pick a few Vermilion Fruits. I'll help you refine the Bone Strengthening Pill and Bone Strengthening Powder."
"What if I can't pick any?"
His master thought for a moment. "Actually, it's not a big deal. Even if you don't have the Bone Strengthening Pill, you can still make do with a lower grade medicinal pill. However, your cultivation speed will be at least ten times slower. Think about it yourself."
Then what else was there to say? What we're lacking now is time! Let's go up the mountain!
