Chapter 17 Lu Yao's Abilities

In fact, many of these people in Section One of the Senior Grade were not local people, such as Chu Minghui and Lin Jiayi.

Lin Jiayi's home was originally not here as well. But later, due to some special reasons, she had to come to Shuangta City, a small boundary town.

As for the reason, she never mentioned it to anyone.

What once happened was her forever lingering nightmares. Although she could not forget, she refused to recall.

Recently, when she sensed the change of Lu Yao, she felt that she was also a little affected by his breath, and even her nightmares that were repeated every night were comparatively less than before.

That was why this Ice Queen in other people's minds had been unusually willing to say a few words to Lu Yao recently.

She couldn't even express the slightest dissatisfaction about what happened on the bus last time.

Sometimes, mutual interests were often the most suitable thing to bring two people closer and make them open their hearts to each other.

Of course, these were deeply buried in Lin Jiayi's heart. She did not mention them to Lu Yao. After all, she had been used to being alone in quiet.

Because of asking for leave, Chu Minghui did not show up at school all day. Except for Ma Xiaolin and others who looked at Lu Yao from time to time, everyone else worked hard for the upcoming college entrance examination and had no time to think or guess other things.

After everyone voted, students unanimously decided to go to an agritainment called Mountain House at the foot of the most legendary mountain in Shuangta City, Yunwu Mountain, at the beginning of the next month to hold a grand self-service picnic.

Time passed quickly, and a week passed in a twinkling of an eye. A lot of things happened during this week, but what people enjoyed most was Lu Yao's "the return of the king".

Although he was only third place in the city and his total score was only 687 points, which was only 2 points higher than Chu Minghui's grade, these 2 points still made other people feel pressured.

In addition to Lin Jiayi, even Dong Xiao, who got second place, also felt great pressure.

Although they were already in the third year of high school, because of the regulations of the education department, no school was allowed to add classes under any excuse on weekends. So Lu Yao had enough time to reflect on some of the things he recently practiced in cultivation.

...

...

After repeatedly practicing Tuiyun Hand several times in the morning, Lu Yao felt that although the pain and burning feeling all over his body still existed, his sense of increasing in strength had basically disappeared.

As a result, Lu Yao's current power of strength was still about 200 catties.

After thinking about it for a long time, Lu Yao felt that he would gain less if he continued to practice like this. Instead of doing so, he might as well have a good discussion with Li Jiang about his cultivation.

Lu Yao soon held his breath like an old monk and tried to reach out to Li Jiang in his mind.

It was not long before Li Jiang appeared in his mind, and his figure slowly became clear.

"Master, am I in a period of stagnation? How can I not find the feeling I had before recently?" Seeing the appearance of Li Jiang, Lu Yao said his speculation.

"Good. I am very glad that you have this kind of understanding, which shows that you have a good understanding and are suitable for cultivating immortality." Li Jiang looked at Lu Yao with satisfaction and said.

"What am I supposed to do next?" Lu Yao asked.

"Now that you have entered the path of immortal cultivation, it is time to talk to you about immortal cultivation." Li Jiang stopped a bit and said, "The so-called immortal cultivation is to thoroughly tap one's own potential in the process of awakening self-consciousness from the four aspects: Physical Exercise, Breath Training, Mind Training, and Spiritual Training. With guidance and practice till reaching Initial Success, people can master the laws of Heaven, seek good fortune, avoid disasters, and reduce the impact of the fate of Heaven on individuals. When you practice to the realm of Great Achievement, you can use the laws of Heaven for your own use. It can be said that it is a process of going against the heavenly rule."

"These are still too ethereal for you at present. Let me tell you about the realms of immortal cultivation first, so as to avoid going astray by practicing blindly in the future." Li Jiang was like a teacher who knew everything in ancient and modern times, explaining patiently to Lu Yao, "What I teach you is the innate road of transcending fate and achieving the fairy path. It is mainly divided into nine realms: Body Refining Phase, Qi Cultivation Phase, Soul Formation Phase, Out-of-Body Phase, Spirit Division Phase, Spirit Gathering Phase, Nihility Phase, Mahayana Phase, and Judgment Phase. Now Mixed Spirit King Kong Skills that you are taught to practice can be regarded as the top method of exercise of Body Refining Phase. Only by having a strong body can the immortal cultivators withstand the natural spirit of heaven and earth, and thus they can develop the internal qi. If not, the body will surely die out!"

"Master, in my present state, what is my level within the realm of Body Refining Phase? Can I withstand the practice of internal qi?" Lu Yao listened carefully to every word that Li Jiang had said, which was something he had never touched before. He couldn't help but ask after hearing everything.

"Haha, according to your ability right now, you can only be regarded as the entry-level of Body Refining Phase. Body Refining Phase is divided into three levels: Refining the Body and Strengthening the Skin, Strenching the Tendons and Refining the Bones, and Splitting the Mountains and Cracking the Stones. And each level is divided into three levels: Ru Men, Ru Wei, and Ru Dao. With your current ability, you can barely be regarded as the Ru Men of Refining the Body and Strengthening the Skin. You have a powerful strength of 200 catties, and your skin can resist the attack of blunt objects to protect itself from harm. As for some other sharp weapons, you still can't prevent yourself from getting hurt." Li Jiang said with a smile.

Lu Yao listened to Li Jiang who said so much about the cultivation of immortality and combined with his own experience during this period. He had a bit understanding of the Ru Men of Refining the Body and Strengthening the Skin. But when he thought that he was just a beginner, he still felt a little frustrated.

Li Jiang saw all this in the eyes and comforted Lu Yao, "You should be proud of yourself. Lu Yao, do you know that it will take three to five years for many people to enter Ru Men of Refining the Body and Strengthening the Skin? Some people will even never reach your present level in their whole life, and you have completed what they have not done in their lifetime after only a few months of training. You should be proud of yourself!"

"Master, what should I do next?" After listening to the words of Li Jiang, Lu Yao felt much better and asked seriously.

"Body Refining Phase is the most critical stage for a person to cultivate immortality, and the quality of Body Refining Phase directly determines the highest level that a person can achieve in cultivating immortality. All the great people, who had the power of moving mountains to fill the sea, running against the sun, and swallowing the sky, practiced Body Refining Phase to the extent so that they would shock the splendid. And for you, you are already over fifteen years old, so it is impossible for you to reach their level without the help of external objects!" Li Jiang said patiently.

"With the help of external objects? What does Master mean by external objects?" Lu Yao asked.

"Naturally precious medicine, miraculous cures, and other great treasures!" Li Jiang said decisively.

"But where can we find these things now?" After Lu Yao heard the naturally precious medicine that Li Jiang was talking about, Lu Yao's excitement went away immediately.

"I've figured this out for you. Combined with your present situation, we need to refine some Spiritual Fluids that are slow in effect and you can bear to purify the body. As for miraculous cures and naturally precious medicine, they all depend on lucky chances. Let's talk about them later!" Li Jiang said.

"Spiritual Liquids to purify the body?" Although Lu Yao made rapid progress in his academic performance through this period of study, and he also used his spare time to read some novels and ancient books about the cultivation of immortality. But for modern high school students, he never heard about what Li Jiang said today. Therefore, he acted like a rookie.

"Spiritual Liquids to purify the body. As the name implies, it is to refine the Spirit Liquids from some special herbs, and then soak the body in it to strengthen the body!" Li Jiang was quite satisfied with his apprentice, Lu Yao. So every time Lu Yao asked a question, he would explain it to him in detail.

"Master, how much longer do I have to continue to practice the first move of Mixed Spirit King Kong Skills, or can I start the second move of it?" After listening so much, Lu Yao also had a general understanding of the road he was going to take in the future, but now he had to ask his Master for advice on what to do.

"The technique of Mixed Spirit King Kong Skills is divided into three moves, each of which corresponds to a realm of Body Refining Phase. Now you are only at Ru Men of Body Refining Phase, so you need to continue to practice this move. The reason why you can't feel the increase in strength was you have reached the threshold of Ru Men. After finding the right herbs to refine the Spirit Liquids to purify the body for you, it will still benefit you infinitely. So at present, our top priority is to find suitable herbs while practicing Tuiyun Hand." Li Jiang said.

"Master, can we go to the drugstore here and see whether we can find the right herbs?"

"Of course!"

"Shall we go today?"

"Haha! Sure! Let's go today!"

...

...

Sanbao Pharmacy was one of the many industries owned by Fang Jinghua, the richest merchant in Shuangta City.

The whole pharmacy had a total of three floors and covered an area of about tens of thousands of square meters, which completely subverted people's conventional understanding of pharmacies.

With the guests coming and going, Lu Yao entered the first floor of the pharmacy. After passing the security check and showing his ID card, a ceremonial usherette dressed in a high-forked cheongsam came over and said, "Sir, how can I help you?"

"Thank you. I'll just look around!" Lu Yao replied politely.

"Then please help yourself. If necessary, please call me. And I'll be at your service at any time!" After making a gesture of invitation, the ceremonial usherette turned and left.

"Lu Yao, we don't have to stay long on this floor. We can just go somewhere else to have a look!" After the ceremonial usherette walked away, Li Jiang's voice sounded in Lu Yao's mind.

"Master, isn't there anything useful here?" Looking at the arrays of drugs that filled the whole floor, Lu Yao asked questioningly.

"Lu Yao, you have to remember that for us cultivators, these western medicines have no effect at all. Taking them for a long time will cause the body to accumulate too many impurities and affect our cultivation." Li Jiang explained, "Because in the process of making these western medicines, the spirituality of all the drugs has been destroyed, and what is left is just some residue."

"Oh, Master, I see!" Lu Yao suddenly understood.

Hearing the words of Li Jiang, Lu Yao turned and walked towards the second floor.

When Lu Yao walked around the whole second floor, Li Jiang didn't say a word. Obviously, there was nothing he was looking for.

Thus, Lu Yao went straight to the third floor.
