This Martial Saint's Health Bar is Too Thick!-Chapter 141 - 114: Innate Qi, Discussing Innate Qi_2

Chapter 141 -114: Innate Qi, Discussing Innate Qi_2

During these days of sparring with Shangguan Xiao, Li Fei had become quite familiar with the techniques of Ghost Slash, knowing how to exert his force to escape most effectively. At this moment, fueled by the power of “Blood Rage,” he forcefully broke free from the whirlwind of energy and swung his blade towards Shangguan Xiao, simultaneously dodging another Flash Thunder Force that came his way.

Boom—

A whirlwind appeared between the two of them, then explosively burst apart, the powerful thrust sending Li Fei flying backward, causing his blade strike to miss in the end.

Shangguan Xiao advanced quickly, aiming a palm strike at Li Fei from the side.

Li Fei, unconcerned with the incoming strike, firmly braced himself against the palm and turned around to deliver a sweeping slash.

Shangguan Xiao flexed her right hand and flicked her fingers, striking right at the blade of Ghost Slash.

...

Buzz—

This flick was like a blast of thunder, causing the blade of Ghost Slash to tremble continuously, and Li Fei’s horizontal slash was thwarted.

He was accustomed to this and continued to strike at Shangguan Xiao with his blade.

The two of them dueled in the small courtyard, and for a time, the sounds of wind and thunder were intense!

After about fifteen minutes, Shangguan Xiao stopped,

“Okay, that’s enough for today.”

“Thank you for the training, Martial Aunt.”

Li Fei bowed sincerely in gratitude.

It wasn’t hard to simply defeat Li Fei, but every time Shangguan Xiao sparred with him, she consciously controlled her force, ensuring it was enough to temper Li Fei’s body without truly injuring him.

This indeed expended a lot of mental effort, especially since Li Fei shared damage and absorbed energy through the Myriad Blood Pearl at least half the time, making him much tougher than the average Martial Artist.

“Your talent in Horizontal Training Skills is indeed rare; no wonder your senior brother wants you to cultivate Mixed Element Heavenly Gold,” Shangguan Xiao remarked.

If it were any ordinary Martial Artist, they would have been downed after receiving so many of her Ghost Slash and Flash Thunder Force attacks, but Li Fei was unfazed.

Li Fei didn’t elaborate further; he looked at the Myriad Blood Pearl within his body:

[Rank: 10 Level 1%

Blood Soul: 133 beads

Blood Soul Skills: Blood Rage, Blood Slaughter

Transform Skill: Blood Demon]

The recent sparring had successfully elevated the Myriad Blood Pearl to level 10, and this time the number of Blood Souls had increased by 18 beads.

With such a ‘life force,’ if one only spoke of the intensity of Life Force, Li Fei was no less than the typical practitioner at the Tao Foundation Stage!

Over the next few days, Li Fei spent several hours every day trying to merge ‘three forces into one,’ and each time his situation improved.

On the evening of September 27,

Li Fei was still in Shangguan Xiao’s courtyard trying to combine the three forces.

Assuming the Mixed Element Qi Stance, he closed his eyes and visualized.

In his mind, within his body, the Steel Armor Implant was like a vast river.

This river had several branches, running throughout his entire body and reaching every extremity.

At the riverbed, a hot current, like red magma, was hidden beneath.

Li Fei was continuously trying to channel this ‘magma’ from the bottom of the riverbed upward.

Gradually, the red magma broke through the riverbed, beginning to surge upwards!

As the magma surged, it triggered a chain reaction, and magma erupted from beneath the various branches throughout the river.

In the courtyard, as Li Fei stood still with his eyes closed, his body suddenly trembled, and a dark golden energy burst forth from all the pores of his body.

Seeing this, Shangguan Xiao’s face lit up with joy:

“Done!”

The dark golden energy that sprayed out from Li Fei’s body was Innate Qi!

She stepped forward, reaching Li Fei’s side in an instant, pointed at his chest, and said in a deep voice,

“Keep your mind calm and guide this energy throughout your body using the method I taught you before.”

She spoke as she assisted Li Fei in guiding the Innate Qi that erupted within him for the first time.

At this moment, one could see how important it was to have a good teacher in Martial Arts cultivation.

If Li Fei had been left to break through on his own without anyone to watch over him, he might have caused internal injuries due to his inability to properly guide the Innate Qi.

The most critical aspect was that the first burst of Innate Qi had the best effect on transforming the body; if one could successfully guide the Innate Qi throughout the body at this time, future cultivation in Martial Arts would become much smoother.

After about fifteen minutes, with Shangguan Xiao’s assistance, Li Fei successfully guided the Innate Qi throughout his entire body, completing the first enhancement of his body by the Innate Qi.

He felt a warm and comforting sensation, as if he were soaking in a hot spring, very comfortable.

After his breath had completely stabilized, he slowly opened his eyes and bowed to Shangguan Xiao,

“Thank you, master, for protecting.”

Shangguan Xiao smiled as she helped him up,

“Don’t be polite with your master, congratulations, you are now a martial master.”

Having successfully stimulated Innate Qi, Li Fei had stepped from the Body Breaking Stage into the Qi Change Stage, and could now be called a martial master.

Next, once he broke through to the Qi Change Middle Stage and developed Force, he would be called a Refining Strength Martial Master.

“You broke through to the Qi Change Stage by ‘Breaking Heart Barrier,’ your Mind Power is much stronger than that of an ordinary Qi Change Stage martial master, which will give you greater control over Innate Qi and also speed up your cultivation,” Shangguan Xiao told Li Fei.

“I heard from a senior disciple that martial artists who break through by ‘Breaking Heart Barrier’ can improve their cultivation aptitude for Implant compatibility by at least one major grade! For example, if your compatibility was Grade B, then after the breakthrough, your Implant growth speed could be comparable to someone with a Grade A compatibility,” Li Fei pondered upon hearing this.

Initially, his overall aptitude was Grade B and due to the Myriad Blood Pearl, he almost had no limit in terms of endurance.

In terms of compatibility, he had already taken numerous clarity pills, and after taking all the clarity pills he had, his aptitude could roughly be elevated to Grade B.

That was the limit, as clarity pills could not elevate a person’s aptitude from Rank B to Rank A.

Now that Li Fei had broken through to the Qi Change Stage via ‘Breaking Heart Barrier,’ according to Shangguan Xiao, his aptitude in compatibility could gain a bonus equivalent to a full grade.

That meant he could progress from Grade B to Grade A!

Compatibility determined the growth speed of the Implant, and added with the convenience brought by the Myriad Blood Pearl, Li Fei’s cultivation speed in the future would be frighteningly fast!

“Did teacher also break through to the Qi Change Stage by ‘Breaking Heart Barrier’?” Li Fei curiously asked.

Shangguan Xiao nodded, her expression somewhat complicated,

“Yes, both teacher and student have taken this path.”

She seemed reluctant to dwell on the topic and quickly changed it, beginning to explain the myriad aspects that Li Fei needed to be aware of in the Qi Change Stage,

“Even if it’s the same Implant, because of different individual constitutions and cultivation processes, the Innate Qi stimulated will be different. Implants of the Five Elements Attribute, upon reaching the Qi Change Stage, can produce dozens of types of Innate Qi. First, it is classified into yin and yang according to the heavenly stems, with Jia Wood, Bing Fire, Earth, Geng Metal, and Ren Water being yang, and Yi Wood, Ding Fire, Ji Earth, Xin Metal, and Gui Water being yin.”

“There are ten types of attributes altogether,”

“Moreover, Innate Qi is also classified into six types, True Qi, Clear Qi, Gang Qi, Blood Slaughter, Xuan Qi, and Primordial Qi. True Qi is pure, Clear Qi is light and ethereal, Gang Qi is domineering, Blood Slaughter is sinister and tricky, Xuan Qi is ever-changing, and Primordial Qi is thick and strong.”

“Your Steel Armor Implant is of the Gold Attribute, so the Innate Qi you cultivate must be one of the two types, Geng Metal or Xin Metal. As for the next six attributes, your Steel Armor definitely has no connection with Clear Qi, Blood Slaughter, and Xuan Qi; your Innate Qi could only be one of True Qi, Gang Qi, and Primordial Qi. Gang Qi is the most common, Primordial Qi is very suitable, and True Qi is the rarest.”

Shangguan Xiao looked at Li Fei,

“Your teacher hopes that you cultivate the ‘Primordial Heavenly Gold’ Tao Foundation, so your Innate Qi would be best as Primordial Qi for a successful outcome. If it is Gang Qi, the last step of merging the paths will be very difficult.”

Li Fei quickly absorbed this information and asked,

“What about if it’s True Qi?”

Shangguan Xiao smiled, “True Qi is the rarest of the six types of Innate Qi to appear, because it requires sufficient purity. As martial artists take too many medications during cultivation, the Implant inevitably absorbs and precipitates many impurities, which means the stimulated Innate Qi is also impure and thus cannot become True Qi.”

“If you can cultivate True Qi, the likelihood of successfully forming ‘Primordial Heavenly Gold’ would increase by at least thirty percent!”

After speaking, Shangguan Xiao went inside the house and brought out a Eight Diagram Stone Plate.

She walked up to Li Fei with the stone plate,

“I briefly sensed your Innate Qi just now, but personal sensing is not the most accurate; this is an Eight Diagrams Plate specifically used for distinguishing Qi. Inject your Innate Qi into it and see what Qi you’ve cultivated?”
