The Name of Eternity.

Chapter 26 Top Body Refining
A letter from Jianlu? Li Hao was slightly surprised, and the crybaby girl appeared in his mind.

I have been in Jianlu for several months. I don’t know how you are doing and whether you are used to sleeping.

Li Hao opened the letter and read it carefully.

The delicate and unfamiliar handwriting seemed to be written by the little girl herself, saying "safety" and "missing".

Perhaps it was a rare opportunity to write and send letters, so the paper was filled with words, describing the daily life in the sword hut for several months, including becoming a disciple, accepting the sect, practicing, learning sword manuals, etc., no matter how big or small, everything was written down word for word.

Although it only describes daily life, it expresses the longing.

At the end of the letter, the little girl seemed to finally realize that there was not much paper left for her, and said that she would practice well and try to go down the mountain as soon as possible, and asked Li Hao to wait for her to come back.

Li Hao read it silently, then gently folded the paper again, inserted the letter back, and stuffed it into his brocade clothes on his chest.

Next to him, Li Muxiu asked Li Fu what was going on in Jianlu.
Obviously, this old man who was either fishing around or staying in Tingyu Tower was not aware of the affairs between Li Hao and other third-generation juniors. If the news that Li Hao's martial arts had disabled his body had not caused too much sensation and caused discussion everywhere in the mansion, he would not have heard of it.

After learning the whole story, Li Hao's first reaction when he saw the old man was obviously relief.

That expression seemed to be saying, oh, it turns out that Haoer doesn’t have a talent for swordsmanship. I almost thought that the Sword Saint wanted to take him in for training.

Although he didn't care about Li Hao's practice, if Li Hao really had extremely high talent, he would not stop him.

Then, Li Muxiu snorted again, his expression displeased:

"That old fellow Jian Wudao, relying on his seniority, bullies Jian Lan for not daring to contradict him. Humph! A ninth-class combat body and a genius in swordsmanship, any famous family would be eager to get him. And he got the advantage and is so ungrateful that he uses a broken body refining manual to make up for it? I must go to Jianlu to argue with him some other day!"

Li Fu broke out in a cold sweat and smiled bitterly in his heart, not daring to respond.

Others are already so excited to be able to become a disciple of the Sword Saint that they can't sleep at night. Who dares to bargain?
"Uncle, how was your catch today? It must have been a great harvest!"

Li Fu changed the subject, knowing that the old man liked to be praised for his fishing skills. This old soldier, who was always upright and serious in the army, now showed a fawning smile, but it was a very awkward and embarrassing one.

The most fatal thing is to flatter someone forcing himself without knowing how to do it.

Li Muxiu glanced at him calmly and said to Li Hao, "Hao'er, did you see that? This is the importance of our fishing tradition. You must let as many people as possible see your catch. Otherwise, people who don't know will think you are coming back empty-handed."

If you just go home, who would know that you went fishing? Even if they knew, who would care... Li Hao complained in his heart.

"Let's go."

Li Muxiu ignored Li Fu and led Li Hao into Tingyu Tower.

Li Fu hesitated to speak, and stood there hesitating. Before entering the building, Li Muxiu suddenly stopped, but did not look back, and said:
"Xiaofu, you don't have to worry about Hao'er's training. He does have a talent for physical training. I will teach him while I'm fishing."

After saying that, he walked straight into the light and shadow inside the door.

Li Fu was stunned, and the complex and contradictory thoughts in his mind were suddenly cleared up, as if a huge stone had fallen.

He quickly bowed and thanked him, feeling happy and excited for Li Hao.

If I could get my second uncle to personally teach me, that would definitely be better than his teaching. After all, this second uncle is in no way inferior to that sword master...

……

……

Although Li Muxiu looks frivolous, he always keeps his word, which is somewhat influenced by the family motto of a military family.

After entering the building, Li Muxiu found some firewood and built a stove on the balcony. While dissecting the fish monster he caught today, he casually said to Li Hao: "If you have any questions during your cultivation, just ask me and I will help you answer them."

Li Hao shook his head slightly: "Not yet."

"No?"

Li Muxiu said unhappily, "Are you saying that you haven't hit a bottleneck yet? Humph, this book of body refining is very powerful. It's good enough that you can understand it. Forget it, practice it for me and let me see."

Li Hao thought it was not necessary, but seeing that the old man really wanted to teach him, he did not let his kindness down and obediently practiced it.

Li Muxiu wanted to give some pointers, but he found that there was really no flaw, so he couldn't help but look at the little guy again.

To be able to practice to this level through self-study is an amazing comprehension! "Yes, your current practice should have reached the tenth level of Tongli Realm, right?" Li Muxiu said. Although he did not sense Li Hao carefully, he could practice to the second level of Jiaolong Body, and his practice must have reached the perfection of the first level.

Moreover, compared with the ordinary perfection of the Tongli realm, the physical strength brought by body refining is greater and slightly stronger than those in the same realm. Of course, this is in the early stages of practice, when body refining has advantages.

As for the later stage...

There is no later stage in body training.

Just like everyone said, this is a hard path. You know, normal cultivation is already extremely difficult, and the fact that they call it a hard path shows how hard it is to cultivate the body.

Therefore, few people can persevere to the end. Even those who have great perseverance often progress too slowly in practice, which leads to the exhaustion of their lifespan, making it difficult to make a breakthrough, and eventually dying of depression.

"Ah."

Li Hao nodded in acknowledgement.

"He is not even eight years old yet, but he has already reached the Perfection Stage. With this progress, he can catch up with the top geniuses."

Li Muxiu said, "The next is the Zhoutian realm. When your strength is full, it will become Qi, and the Qi will circulate throughout the body. You have two ways to reach the Zhoutian realm. The first is to enter the Baijiao body and forcibly break through with your physical body. The Baijiao body also involves the method of Qi circulation. If you practice it to perfection, you can reach the pinnacle level of one meridian 100 cycles."

"It is precisely because of this that this body-refining technique can be placed on the sixth floor."

Seeing Li Hao sitting cross-legged and listening attentively, Li Muxiu also explained more carefully:
"There are ten levels in the Zhoutian Realm, but the gap between them is huge. In the Tongli Realm, the gap can be widened by increasing strength through powerful techniques and awakening divine blood. In the Zhoutian Realm, the gap between the Tianjiao and the mortal world is widened by the top luck techniques."

"Most ordinary warriors without backgrounds practice low-grade techniques, which take about ten cycles per lineage."

"A mid-to-high-grade method, one vein can reach thirty-six cycles!"

"And the superior method is to practice 72 cycles of the heavens in one meridian."

He looked at Li Hao and said, "As for the ultimate method, it is One Meridian Hundred Cycles! This is the essence of the Thousand Dragon Saint Body. Putting aside the body refining, it can also be regarded as a top-notch luck method."

"I see." Li Hao nodded slightly.

He had flipped through some books and had some understanding of the Zhoutian realm. If one Zhoutian realm equals to twice the strength of one's own body, then ten Zhoutian realms would equal ten times!
A hundred cycles means a hundred times the effect. This is the difference.

Especially with the improvement of Zhoutian realm, the gap between the opening of each level of meridians is added up. By the time you reach the tenth level of Zhoutian realm, the gap between ordinary luck methods and top methods is like heaven and earth.

With powerful forces, famous families, and geniuses added together, a top Zhoutian realm warrior, even if not a hundred Zhoutian, would at least have seventy-two Zhoutian, and could easily sweep away ordinary Zhoutian realm warriors and chivalrous knights without background.

"A supreme luck technique, in any famous family, is close to the level of the sect guardian, and is mostly only passed on to personal disciples or closed disciples."

"In Tingyu Tower, there are three books of such supreme methods, and the Hundred Dragons Chapter of the Thousand Dragon Sacred Body is one of them."

Li Muxiu said: "But even so, in my God General's Mansion, the heir is passed down and not the illegitimate child, so as to avoid rebellion against the Tian Gang and chaos among the people."

"The difference in martial arts practice is ultimately for the purpose of fighting one another. Some people practice not to become the strongest, but to surpass others. Therefore, when it is impossible to surpass others, cutting down others is also a means of surpassing others, and it is even easier than practicing hard on your own to improve."

"This is why the top powers and famous families keep their peerless skills secret from outsiders. Once leaked, the person who obtains it will be killed."

Li Hao asked: "Isn't the purpose of practicing to slay demons?"

Li Muxiu paused, glanced at him, and said mockingly, "Demon slaying is the business of a few warriors, such as our Li family and other divine generals' houses. But most people live in a prosperous and peaceful land where demons are forbidden. How many opportunities are there to slay demons? Even if there are, how many people dare to do it?"

"Have you ever seen an ordinary hunter who would hunt tigers and bears for no reason?"

"I, Dayu, am in a prosperous age. In a prosperous age, people all over the world seek fame. They kill monsters for fame, compete in battles for fame, and even found a sect for fame!"

"For fame, fortune and power, so many people have sacrificed themselves for it. It is not a pity to die!"

“Who wouldn’t want to be remembered by the world ten thousand years after death, to be enshrined in a martial arts temple, to have a golden body cast, and to smell the incense burning for a thousand years?”

There was some excitement in his voice, but it was not the excitement of yearning. Instead, there seemed to be some suppressed anger.

"I do not want."

Li Hao shook his head slightly and said, "If I could choose, I would like to live forever."
