The next day, when it was still dark, Zhou Shu rented a red cloud beast and headed to Lengwu Mountain.

Five or six feet away, Xu Lie stood with a golden sword, like a door god. At his feet, there were many hoes.

Xu Lie glanced at Zhou Shu and said, "It's quite early."

Zhou Shu didn't say anything. He stepped forward and bowed sincerely, "Thank you very much, Manager Xu, for your kindness in giving me the medicine yesterday. I'm very grateful."

Xu Lie waved his hand and said impatiently, "I don't mean well. If you get sick, who will do the work for me? Get a hoe and continue digging. Remember, you still owe me a lot."

Zhou Shu nodded, picked up a hoe, and cast his eyes on Xu Lie, "Manager Xu, I have something unclear. Yesterday you said we should use spiritual power or something else?"

Xu Lie opened his eyes wide and stared at Zhou Shu for a while, "You don't want to use spiritual power?"

Zhou Shu was very honest, "I wanted to, but I didn't."

"If you had spiritual power, you wouldn't have to dig like you did yesterday?" Xu Lie's eyes were filled with anger.

Zhou Shu shook his head indifferently, "Not necessarily. If the hard digging effect is good, use it. If the spiritual power is good, use spiritual power. Whatever effect is good, use it."

Xu Lie said disdainfully, "Use whatever is good. It's simple to say. What if your spiritual power is always very low and you can only rely on your physical strength?"

His voice was much louder and more aggressive.

Zhou Shu remained calm, "Spiritual power will not be low forever. As long as I work hard, I will find a way. No matter what, I will continue to practice physical training because I need it very much now. And I think there is no conflict between physical training and Qi training."

, you can take care of both, and use whatever you need.”

"Spiritual power will not be low forever. Refining Qi and body can take care of both..."

Xu Lie's expression suddenly darkened, and then he turned angry again, "Young man is really kind-hearted, he doesn't know how high the sky is, haha. Boy, you haven't done formal physical training, have you? Your good physique is all soaked in medicine.

Did you come out?"

Zhou Shu nodded calmly, "The steward is right, it is indeed the case."

Xu Lie looked serious, "Just soaking in medicinal liquid is not called body training. It's okay to resist attacks like gold and iron, but it won't work when faced with cold air and flaming energy. Do you want to train your body?"

Looking at the majestic Xu Lie in front of him, Zhou Shu's heart moved, and he immediately bowed with a silent expression, "Think."

In order to mine, you must think.

Xu Lie looked at Zhou Shu steadily and nodded slowly, "I can teach you the body-refining techniques so that you can successfully mine and complete chores, but there is one thing I need to make clear to you first."

Zhou Shu nodded seriously, "I will follow the instructions from my supervisor."

"Do you know that choosing to practice body training is equivalent to embarking on a path of no return?" Xu Lie said slowly with a rare sadness in his eyes.

Both Qi and body refining can build the foundation, but body refining is a helpless choice for many cultivators with poor qualifications.

It is difficult for them to reach the foundation-building realm by refining Qi alone. After all, there are many impurities in their spiritual roots, few Qi pulses are opened, and the conversion rate of spiritual energy is low. It is not easy to simply rely on spiritual power to remove impurities from the body and build a foundation.

Refining the body is relatively easy. You have to train your body day and night, use magic formulas and medicinal liquids, and temper it over and over again, so that the body is like fine steel, impurities naturally come out, and you can successfully reach the foundation building state.

However, after reaching the foundation-building realm through body training, it is difficult to reach the sky if you want to go further.

For example, Xu Lie himself had poor Qi refining qualifications and was unable to break through. He turned to body training and reached the late stage of foundation building smoothly. But later he discovered that by relying on body refining, he could condense gas into liquid and reach the pulse condensation state.

, it was surprisingly difficult, so he kept getting stuck here.

But now he is asked to refining Qi and condensing pulses? With his spiritual power that is not even as good as the early stage of Foundation Establishment, coupled with his low qualifications, and missing the opportunity to refine Qi and establish Foundation, it is no longer possible to rely on Qi Refining to condensate pulses.

Already.

He can only hope to find a good body refining method, practice the method, and use the medicinal liquid to force a qualitative change in the spiritual power in the body. However, those methods and medicinal liquid are rare things. Given his conditions, it is really very difficult.

Hard to get.

Xu Lie looked at Zhou Shu and said coldly, "Now, do you still want to train?"

Zhou Shu thought quietly for a while, his eyes flashed slightly, "Can't you refine your Qi while refining your body?"

Xu Lie said slowly, "You can, but you have to pay several times the time and price. More importantly, with the qualifications of most body-refining cultivators, they can escape from the mortal world and build a foundation after three years of body-refining, and their lifespan can reach two hundred years.

However, it takes thirty years or more to refine Qi and it is even impossible to build a foundation. You will die immediately. If it were you, which one would you choose?"

"Why don't those qualified Qi-refining cultivators go and practice body-refining by the way?"

Xu Lie laughed, with a lot of helplessness in his smile, "You have good qualifications, will you suffer more, spend more time and spend more spiritual stones to refine your body? If it were me, I wouldn't."

That makes sense.

A cultivator is destined to live forever. A cultivator has limited resources and limited time. How to use limited resources and time to break through the realm faster is the most important thing.

If you waste several times or dozens of resources to do something that seems to have no future, not many qualified practitioners will do it.

But Zhou Shu's situation is different.

Zhou Shu had another question, "So, body training seems useless?"

Xu Lie's face became stern, "It's useless?"

He raised his right foot and stamped it hard.

Boom!

Starting from the soles of his feet, dozens of thick cracks opened up in the ground instantly, twisting and bending like dozens of long snakes snaking and running, as fast as lightning, all the way to Zhou Shu's feet.

Zhou Shu had no time to react and fell directly.

Before he could even utter a exclamation, a thick arm suddenly stretched out and grabbed him.

Zhou Shu looked at the ground not far away and felt a little stunned.

It was as if there was an earthquake. Within hundreds of feet, there were many ravines and all the vegetation was upturned, as if it had been plowed by a huge plowshare, and everything was devastated.

The destructive power is astonishing. You must know that this is in the mountains, and most of the ground is made of rocks instead of soil.

Xu Lie said calmly, "There are few cultivators below the Pulse Condensation Realm who can defeat the Body Refining Cultivators. Although the Body Refining Cultivators may never reach the Pulse Condensation Realm in their lifetime, no one can look down on us before.

"

As he said, body-refining cultivators have huge advantages in the foundation-building realm and the Qi-refining realm, and ordinary cultivators of the same level simply cannot compare with them.

Xu Lie looked at Zhou Shu, "I've told you the advantages and disadvantages of body training, you choose?"

Zhou Shu only hesitated for a moment and then replied, "I would like to choose body training, please teach me the manager."

"So fast, no regrets?" Xu Lie looked at him suspiciously.

Zhou Shu nodded seriously, "I don't regret it."

The practical problem is that if he doesn't refine his body at this stage, he won't be able to dig mines with his spiritual power, so he must refine it.

If the cold air entered his body like yesterday, he wouldn't be able to bear it a few more times. Now that he's here, body training is inevitable.

After weighing it up, he felt that the problem of being unable to condense pulses by refining the body and building the foundation would not occur to him.

While refining the body, he will not abandon refining the qi. He must take care of both, and he can only take care of both.

It is very difficult to achieve perfection in both and then build the foundation, but no matter how difficult it is, you have to give it a try.
