The routine punches carried a different kind of beauty.
The strength, speed, and technique that Li Ming displayed were all very solid.
This was Li Ming’s habit. Once he chose to do something, he would carry it out to the best of his ability.
Although there was someone watching, Li Ming still completed his routine, not wanting to give up halfway.
“Phew…”
Li Ming did not let out that powerful burst in the last punch. He had already reached the level where he could control his movements freely, and there was no need to show a special card like that to others.
Watching Li Ming complete his set of punching routine, one would be able to notice a certain charm that complemented his movements.
The senior sister who was passing by was Lu Lan, an elite disciple of the Divine Will Sect.
As she continued watching, the surprise in her eyes grew stronger and stronger.
In this day and age, there is still someone who practices martial dao cultivation techniques?
Furthermore, he had practiced it to such perfection?
This is truly a rare sight.
Lu Lan had long been in the foundation establishment realm, and her standards were very high.
Although she did not know this young man who was practicing a punching routine, she felt that it was a pity that he had chosen the wrong path despite his talent.
Why did he choose body cultivation?
He was clearly a good seedling.
Meanwhile, after Li Ming finished practicing his fist technique, he saw a senior sister dressed in white clothing watching him practice attentively.
“Greetings, senior sister.”
Li Ming returned the way he came. When he passed by Lu Lan, he greeted her according to the rules of the Divine Will Sect.
Then, he quickly left.
“Sigh…”
Lu Lan was still thinking about how to persuade him to change paths.
He is such a good seedling. It would be best if he moved to the correct path of qi cultivation.
In the end, Li Ming left in the blink of an eye.
She shook her head lightly. It seemed that this disciple had no intention of getting to know her.
On the other side, Li Ming’s original intention was to find a quiet place, but he was still seen.
“This place is still too close to the cave abode. Next time, I need to find a new place to train.”
He thought to himself.
As for being seen practicing martial dao cultivation technique by a senior sister, he did not see it as a big deal.
His reputation as a body cultivator was already well-known among the new generation of disciples.
In the following days, Li Ming found a place that was relatively far away where no one would disturb him.
With the support of the two entries [Unobstructed Hundred Meridians] and [Lifetime of Qi Refinement], his cultivation progressed at a tremendous pace.
The former gave him a 100% increase in efficiency, while the latter provided him with a 25% increase.
Li Ming was very satisfied.
At this rate, he would be able to achieve the martial dao foundation establishment very soon.
As for his qi cultivation… Although he was still far from reaching the foundation establishment realm, things were not looking as grim as before.
His current qi cultivation speed was not as fast as that of Chen Qingke.
However, compared to some ordinary outer sect disciples, he was of about the same level.
…
A few days later.
In the valley.
It was quiet and secluded, and there was noone around.
“This place is suitable for me to train my body…”
This place was discovered by Li Ming when he was practicing the Wind Lightning Steps. It was far away from his cave abode, and he usually did not go here.
It was suitable for him to practice the Blazing Sun Body Tempering Art and the Five Divine Fists.
When these cultivation techniques were practiced, it was easy to cause a big commotion.
According to his usual routine, Li Ming began with stance training and bone forging. He used the Blazing Sun Body Tempering Art to temper his body.
Afterward, he practiced the Five Divine Fists, going through the processes of blood changing, organ refining, and marrow cleansing.
Finally, he ended his training off by practicing Iron Skin.
At the end of his training, the grass and trees within several kilometers had been reduced to ashes.
This was also the reason why Li Ming practiced alone.
His training was quite destructive.
He quite liked the vegetation in front of his cave abode; it was lush and green.
After finishing his training routine, Li Ming sat down cross-legged and began to recuperate and rest with the [One Qi Art].
He practiced qi cultivation as if it was the dessert after a meal.
However, as he practiced…
Li Ming found that he had reached a bottleneck.
Gradually, he found that his qi cultivation had slowed down.
There was no longer any increase in the growth of his spiritual qi vortex.
“Sigh, I’m still not talented enough.”
Although he sighed, Li Ming was not discouraged.
Everyone’s life had its ups and downs. He already had the entries. As long as he practiced diligently, it was not impossible to tread the immortal path.
Therefore, he stood up and practiced the Blazing Sun Body Tempering Art again.
The blazing sun true qi was absorbed from the air into his body and spread in all directions through his meridians. After a full circulation, crisp popping sounds were produced between his bones and muscles.
“Crack, crack…”
This meant that his muscles and bones were very flexible.
However, Li Ming’s brows gradually furrowed. He could feel that the progress of his body refinement had slowed down as well.
What was going on? He clearly had the help of the [Unobstructed Hundred Meridians] entry, so why was his efficiency so low?
He closed his eyes and began to circulate his qi again.
The blazing sun true qi in his meridians still only grew slowly.
Li Ming seemed to understand.
What he was facing was not a problem with his aptitude, but as his body and qi cultivation reached a certain level, he needed intense stimulation.
This was what the cultivation technique said. Only by consuming heavenly treasures or refining pills to break through to the next realm could a new round of qualitative changes be triggered.
“Speaking of which, I have not used any of the sect’s resources these days…”
Li Ming smiled. Previously, he had been focused on body cultivation, and the pills distributed by the sect were all resources for qi cultivation.
As such, he never really cared about them.
To be able to reach this stage just by relying on his own training was already pretty good.
“If I have enough resources, my strength can improve greatly,” Li Ming said after some thought.
What he needed now were pills to improve his body and qi cultivation.
This way, his strength could continue to increase rapidly.
And to maintain such rapid growth, where would the resources of medicinal pills come from?
Time waits for no one.
At this moment, Li Ming suddenly recalled Duan Xiuwen’s declaration of a duel.
It seemed like he wanted to bet on medicinal pill resources with him?
Previously, Li Ming had been too lazy to pay attention to him. However, he remembered that Duan Xiuwen had already perfected his qi refining and had much more resources than he did.
It just so happened that he could test his current strength.
Li Ming returned to his cave abode, changed his clothes, and turned to walk into the sect.
Just as he came out of his cave abode, he saw Duan Xiuwen together with five underlings.
Duan Xiuwen stood at the entrance of the bamboo forest with a vigilant look on his face. When he saw Li Ming coming out from afar, he immediately shouted, “Li Ming! Do you dare to come out and fight me?”
“You always just hide behind a woman’s back! How can you call yourself a man?!”
Duan Xiuwen’s purpose for visiting this time was to provoke Li Ming into fighting him.
After failing last time, he went back and thought of many plans.
He did not believe that Li Ming would hide in his cave abode forever. If he did, his reputation would be completely ruined.
Endure? He also thought of a lot of unpleasant words, and he did not believe that Li Ming would be able to endure everything!
Duan Xiuwen continued to shout when he saw that Li Ming did not go back after he left.
“If you have the guts, let’s go to the combat stage to gamble and fight. This is a fair match, I…
Li Ming had originally been planning to look for Duan Xiuwen.
He did not expect that he would come directly to his door and start shouting and provoking him into a duel.
Li Ming interrupted Duan Xiuwen and said, “”Alright.”
“To further incentivize you, I’ll put up ten qi sea pills as stake. If you win, you can… Wait, what did you just say?”
Duan Xiuwen was still rambling on.
But when he suddenly heard Li Ming agree, he was left stunned.
