Hide in The Immortal Cultivation World, Strike Hard in the Martial World
Chapter 94 - 90: Acquiring the Iron Shirt Technique and Huajin

Thirty miles outside the city, in an abandoned temple,

A beggar and lunatic lay on the ground, convulsing from time to time.

Upon closer inspection,

The man was so thin that only bones and skin remained, as if he hadn't eaten for months. His hair and skin were covered in dirt,

His clothes were torn into strips,

If you look carefully, you could tell that the clothes were initially made from high-quality fabrics.

At this moment, Yang Youzhi no longer looked like a Huajin martial artist,

If it weren't for his occasional convulsions, people would think him to be a starving beggar who had died here.

These past 20 days had been a miserable ordeal for Yang Youzhi,

For the first five days, his craving for the Immortal Water grew stronger, until the sixth day, when it reached its apex.

He felt that everything in the world was becoming meaningless, and his whole body was wracked by an unbearable itching pain.

If it weren't for the fact that he needed this body to savour the delight of the Immortal Water again,

Yang Youzhi might have already taken his own life.

Enduring half a month to reach the night of the full moon was the only belief that kept him going.

However, when the fifteenth day arrived, Yang Youzhi watched the moon grow full, but nobody came to see him.

He began to despair,

He started to fast and would continually rub himself against the earth and the walls whenever his body convulsed,

By the twentieth day,

He was so thin from hunger that he no longer looked human.

Even the strength to rub against the floor was gone, leaving him to convulse instinctively.

When Chen Yi remembered this, he arrived at the broken temple and was greeted with such a sight.

Seeing the man in this state, Chen Yi was taken aback, gaining a clearer understanding of the potency of drugs in the Immortal Cultivation World for the first time.

"Ah, I should have come here earlier."

And he made a resolution in his heart that he would never resort to such methods again, unless he faced a life-or-death enemy. It was simply too inhumane.

"Leader Yang, get up. This is Joyous Water. Here."

Chen Yi handed him a small porcelain bottle.

The man, who had been lying still on the ground and close to starvation, suddenly had his eyes lit up at these words.

He sat up and stared intensely at Chen Yi,

Tears flowing down his face:

"You… finally came…"

After taking the porcelain bottle from Chen Yi and taking a sip,

Yang Youzhi felt an heavenly bliss that made his whole body tremble with excitement.

After a while,

Yang Youzhi regained his composure. Looking at the small porcelain bottle in his hand, he stared at Chen Yi silently:

"What do you want? I will tell you everything, just please don't torture me like this again."

"Relax your mind."

Chen Yi took out an Obedience Talisman and, upon activation, struck Yang Youzhi with it.

He chose not to ask directly, afraid that Yang Youzhi might have hidden something about the martial method. He thus chose to trust the Obedience Talisman.

He thought that he would encounter a powerful will resistance of a Huajin Martial Artist,

But Yang Youzhi didn't resist at all. He told everything,

"The pathway of the Iron Shirt Technique's Huajin method's Vitality and Blood flow is.... Its breathing secret is...."

Just over a dozen breaths later, Chen Yi obtained the information he had been seeking.

Finally, he completed the Iron Word Sect Three Techniques for Mingjin, Anjin, and Huajin.

Theoretically, he could now advance to the peak of Huajin and third layer of Body Cultivation without any impediments.

But at this moment, Chen Yi was not too happy,

Looking at the old man who had been tortured before him, he once more respected the power of the Immortal Cultivation World.

Chen Yi was not exactly a good person, but there should be limits to what one can do. Power can be used, but one should not treat people this way,

Even if they were enemies,

After he had finished questioning, Chen Yi reached out his hand to twist and break Yang Youzhi's neck.

Then he dragged the body into the deep mountains and buried it.

...

After dealing with Yang Youzhi, Chen Yi practiced quietly in the Immortal Cultivation World for some time.

Except for a few times when he encountered problems in pill refining and had to sneak to Elder Feng for consultation, he had been cultivating on a small boat on the Spirit Mist Lake in the Immortal Cultivation World,

If he already had Qi cultivation level and mana, perhaps he would not have had to go through so much trouble to extort the martial art technique from Yang Youzhi.

Suddenly, Chen Yi felt a strong desire to start practicing Qi Cultivation earlier.

He had a spirit stone in his private collection, which could be used to buy a few Qi Replenishing Pills for use in the early stages of Qi cultivation from Elder Liu.

However, firstly, the origin of this spirit stone was not easy to explain and could easily expose the matter of him killing the young master of the Lin Family.

Secondly, Elder Liu once stated that during the initial stage of guiding Qi into the body, one should avoid using pills as much as possible.

This is because the medicinal strength in the pills has its fixed medicinal properties.

These medicinal properties might not be compatible with his spiritual roots.

It wouldn't be a problem to take a small amount of pills after one has made the entry into Qi cultivation, and strengthened the cultivation level of the Qi Refining First Layer, to enhance the cultivation level.

However, if he used pills for the initial entry, it would greatly limit the talent and potential for Cultivation.

Although Chen Yi's spiritual roots are relatively poor, and it's uncertain whether he can progress to Foundation Establishment in this lifetime,

He did not want to sacrifice the maximum potential he might achieve in the future just for the sake of making the entry into Qi cultivation in haste.

For entry into Qi cultivation, it is best to go to the Cultivation World in the Spirit Mist World.

"When I reach the pinnacle of body refinement here, I will prepare to go.

It should be soon,

The existing resources in the mortal realm here do not contribute much to the advancement of my current body refinement.

It all depends on the effects of the Red Blood Carp King."

"On that note, after obtaining the complete content of the Vajra Sutra from the Bright Temple in the Martial World, I will cultivate more in the Cultivation World,

When my strength is enough to suppress the Martial World, I will return to kill some demon beasts."

"Killing after all, is not what I desire."

After the battle at Lingyin Temple and especially witnessing the fate of Yang Youzhi, Chen Yi's mindset had changed considerably.

If no one provokes him in the future, he would just earnestly cultivate, to seek immortality in the vast world of Immortal Cultivation.

He will no longer kill without reason.

After realizing this, Chen Yi felt much lighter.

Moreover, in this period, he mastered the Huajin skill of the Iron Shirt Technique, and from Elder Monk of the Lingyin Temple, the power generating mode of Arhat Boxing.

Chen Yi named that intense boxing intent, which could not be stacked, as the Wave Stacking Fist Intent.

When practicing the Vajra Sutra, he had great insights and improvements,

When he incorporated these two skills into his daily practice of the Vajra Sutra,

Especially in daily cultivation, when he used the Wave Stacking Fist Intent for boxing,

He felt like he had returned to the time when he first learned the Vajra Sutra,

After merely throwing five or six punches, he felt he could no longer continue.

Chen Yi sensed that with his current total vitality and blood, he could stack up to six Wave Stacking Fist Intents at most,

By the end of these six Wave Stacking Fist Intents, he was able to punch with a force of several thousand pounds!

This would definitely reach the power level of the entry-level of the Third Layer of Body Refinement,

Of course, if he was fully prepared, he could also exert the seventh fist intent.

Yet, he had an intuition that once the seventh punch was thrown, the force would probably exceed ten thousand pounds,

It's not something his current physical body, which is just at the beginning of the Second Layer of Body Refinement, could endure,

If he encountered an enemy with the same ten thousand pounds of force, one punch

Perhaps the enemy will be injured, but he will definitely shatter his physical body due to the unbearable boxing force.

In body cultivation, while the strength increases, it is even more important to synchronously enhance the strength of the physical body itself,

Otherwise, just having terrifying combat skills to exert strength, without a strong enough physique to bear it,

You are just a sword that can break at any time, it can hurt people once but will shatter yourself at the same time,

This is not Chen Yi's philosophy,

He decided that before truly stepping into the Third Layer of Body Refinement, he would never use a boxing intent with more than five Waves,

Of course, with his current situation, facing a Body Cultivation expert at the same Third Layer, five Waves of Boxing Intent should be enough for self-preservation,

When facing a Body Cultivation expert at the Second Layer, the five Waves Boxing Intent should be enough to disorient the opponent,

And now Chen Yi's philosophy is to keep a low profile in the Immortal Cultivation World,

Given his current strength, he can only provoke those at the First Layer of Body Cultivation, if he encounters stronger ones, he will run first.

After finalizing the plan,

Chen Yi went to the 32nd island to purchase several sets of sturdy fishing tools, and took out the previously prepared bait made from Demon Beast Meat,

Preparing to challenge the Red Blood Carp King of the Spirit Mist Marsh again.

At this time, it's the active period of the Red Blood Carp King, which every year during this season, would patrol in the same water area,

Now, it was the perfect opportunity to hunt the Fish King.

However, when he was rowing his small boat towards the depths of the Great Swamp and the few places where the Fish King might appear,

He was stopped.

"Clear the way, this water area is closed, go fishing to the periphery."
