The Name of Eternity.

Chapter 200: The Four Stages of the Flesh Body, Measuring Bones! (First update, asking for monthly tickets)

As soon as he entered the main hall, Li Hao heard bursts of poetry recitation coming from inside.

"White hair floats on the green water, red palms stir the clear waves...haha, interesting, interesting!"

"Did Xiao Shi write this after seeing the big goose in the pond in the yard? It's quite vivid and detailed. Haha, my son can write poetry at the age of four!"

"Mr. Kong said that my son is a rare poetic talent in a century. If he is well cultivated in the future, he may even be able to get second place in the imperial examination!"

I saw "father" Li Tianzong pacing in the hall with a piece of paper in his hand, with a smile on his face.

Chen Hefang sat aside, with a gentle smile on his face, and said: "Look, what makes you happy is just a few poems. When did you also like these literary works?"

"I like everything my son makes."

Li Tianzong laughed and said, "There are many generals who can lead troops to fight, but how many of them can write poetry? I will show this poem to those guys later. Hey, these barbarians are only worthy of listening to poems written by children. Maybe they can't even understand the meaning of my son's poem!"

As he was speaking, he saw Li Hao coming in and immediately waved:
"Xiao Shi, come here."

Li Hao was slightly stunned. Although he had expected that the other party would indulge him in painting before and would most likely not be averse to things like poetry, he just didn't expect that the other party would be so happy.

A few children's poems written at the age of four brought a smile to the father's face.

The young man became famous at the age of fourteen, but all he got was a loud slap in the face.

"Ah."

Li Hao walked over.

Li Tianzong picked up Li Hao, found a chair to sit on, put Li Hao on his lap, and said:

"Come, tell me about this poem, which is like a mirror on the Jade Terrace, flying in the blue sky. Tsk tsk, how did you come up with this idea in your little head?"

Copied... Li Hao thought to himself, but he just had a silly smile on his face.

Chen Hefang looked helpless and said to Li Tianzong:
"Don't spoil him too much. Xiao Shi has great talent. You should let him focus more on martial arts. In two years, he will really embark on the path of cultivation."

"It's still early. When the time comes for real practice, let Xiao Shi practice well again."

Li Tianzong waved his hand and said, "I believe that with Xiao Shi's intelligence, he can be both civil and military. If he becomes a marshal in the future, he must also study the art of war. Otherwise, he will only be a warrior if he has martial arts skills. It's ok to be a soldier and obey orders, but it will be a disaster if he becomes a general!"

Chen Hefang shook his head helplessly. Knowing his temper, he stopped trying to persuade him.

Li Hao's mind turned, and he took the opportunity to say to this "father":
"Dad, I want to go to Tingyu Tower tomorrow, is that ok?"

"Do you know where Tingyu Tower is?" Li Tianzong couldn't help but laugh.

"A place where martial arts techniques are stored." Li Hao said.

Li Tianzong turned to Chen Hefang and said, "See? Xiao Shi hasn't even started practicing yet, but he's already curious about martial arts."

Chen Hefang glanced at him with a slight reproach, but then smiled sweetly, feeling relieved by Li Hao's words.

She was indeed a little worried. Li Hao's intelligence was a good thing, but if he delved deeper into those talents, it would inevitably distract him and cause him to neglect martial arts.

"If you want to go, ask Uncle Zhao to take you there later."

Li Tianzong said to Li Hao: "But you can't act naughty in there. If you damage the skills, I will beat you up."

"I'll take a look."

Li Hao smiled.

At this time, the "brothers" who were practicing in the martial arts field all came back. Li Tianzong waited for them to return to the yard before he asked Zhao Bo to serve the dishes and prepare to eat.

Seeing this, Li Hao immediately closed his eyes and skipped over this dinner.

When he opened his eyes again, his hand was held by another hand and they were walking towards a pavilion.

Li Hao immediately saw clearly that the pavilion was Tingyu Tower.

The one holding his hand was Zhao Bo.

"Young Master, the Tingyu Tower is just ahead. When you go in, remember to greet your fourth uncle and don't dirty the skills. I won't follow you."

Zhao Bo gave earnest instructions.

Li Hao nodded, then became surprised again and asked, "Fourth Uncle?"

"Ah."

Uncle Zhao just nodded without any explanation and led Li Hao to Tingyu Tower.

It looked just like when they first arrived, Li Hao followed Li Fu here.

Zhao Bo negotiated with the guard at the door and explained the situation, then took out the token given by Li Tianzong and showed it to him.

At this moment, Li Tianzong has become the real dragon in the Divine General's Mansion, in charge of all affairs in the Divine General's Mansion.

After the guard understood the situation, he let Li Hao pass.

Li Hao looked at the familiar steps and stairs in front of him, feeling an inexplicable sense of absence.

He entered the building and looked carefully. Everything was arranged just as he remembered.

"Why are you here?"

A voice sounded, and the figure of the young man Li Xiaoran floated down.

Li Xiaoran raised his hand and waved, and the door in Tingyu Tower closed. He raised his hand again and created a soundproof barrier to cover the two of them.

"why you?"

Li Hao asked in confusion: "Where is the Second Master?"

"You should call me second uncle."

Li Xiaoran reminded: "Always remember your identity here. Don't talk about seniority or offense now. Get used to it and don't show any flaws."

Li Hao nodded and took these words to heart.

"When your second uncle was young, he was a carefree person and liked to wander around. Now he is not in the God General's Mansion. He is either making friends in the restaurant, or having fun somewhere, or traveling somewhere."

Li Xiaoran said: "I am the one guarding here now, he is not in the mansion."

Li Hao could see that, despite the soundproofing barrier, the Fourth Master was still rather cautious in his communication with him, and his words were not entirely in his original identity.

Thinking back to when I was in the Godly General's Mansion, I also heard some rumors about the Second Master's reputation. It seemed that he was indeed quite casual when he was young, unlike the other elders.

It was only when he got old that he began to control his temper.

Or maybe it’s not because of old age, but because other people have had accidents one after another…

"Didn't Second Uncle go fishing?" Li Hao asked curiously.

Li Xiaoran glanced at Li Hao and said, "Fishing? He used to be the most restless person. How could he go fishing? He was the one who gave his father the most headaches when he was a child. He was tough and disobedient."

Li Hao was stunned. Second Master doesn’t like fishing?

But the second master in his memory would go fishing by the lake whenever he had free time.

One sitting is one day.

Even for several days.

Li Hao's eyes flashed. It seemed that time had not only smoothed out his edges, but also smoothed out the youthful frivolity and restlessness.

"Are you here to see me?" Li Xiaoran asked.

Li Hao withdrew his thoughts and said, "I came here to take a look at the exercises here and familiarize myself with them in advance."

Li Xiaoran shook his head and said, "You are still too young to practice. I know you are impatient, but you must not be impatient on the way of practice. The more impatient you are, the more likely it is that something will go wrong. If you practice prematurely, it will easily cause bone deformities, or the power contained in the bone marrow will leak out prematurely, and you can't control it, which will slow down your progress in practice."

"For thousands of years, our Li family has measured bones at the age of five and practiced at the age of six. This is the most reasonable formula developed after generations of research."

"Even if you are impatient, the fastest you can practice is after measuring your bones at the age of five. At this time, your bones are just beginning to form. Although there are some risks in practicing, it is already the fastest age to practice."

"I'll just watch, not practice."

Li Hao said.

Although this Fourth Master is not an outsider, some secrets are better kept only by oneself.

He came here early because he wanted to train his body and warm up his muscles and bones.

His original body was at the seventh stage of Dao, and he broke through the three immortal realms with his physical body. He mastered many body-refining techniques, and cultivated them to the true state, and even the extraordinary level!
His understanding of the physical body can be said to be at the top level and one of the best among all the warriors in the entire Dayu Divine Dynasty for thousands of years!
There are very few people who can surpass him, it is no exaggeration to say that there are none.

After all, pure body cultivators, after thousands of years of inheritance, generally believe that they can only cultivate to the Zhoutian realm, which is the limit.

Those who can inherit souls are almost unique cases, like freaks that cannot be explained.

In other words, the Soul-Stage Realm is the limit for pure body cultivators, and he is in the Third Immortal Realm!

Based on his understanding of the Dao of the physical body, what Li Xiaoran said was basically correct, but he was an exception.

You should not practice before the age of six because of the practice method.

Most exercises will put pressure on the body, especially the physical exercises, which will cause direct damage to the body. If not practiced properly, it will cause disability at the least, or paralysis and death at the worst. For example, the iron sand palm requires repeatedly grinding the palm in iron sand, applying ointment, and training the palm to form several layers of calluses. The pores and calluses are wrapped with fine iron sand to create a hardness and strength comparable to iron sand casting.

But this is a low-level martial art that has little effect and will hurt oneself.

The best or even the best body-refining techniques use techniques to activate the potential in the flesh and blood, and then use precious medicines to stimulate it to the greatest extent, tempering the muscles, bones, blood and flesh, thereby strengthening oneself.

If one cultivates to an extremely deep level, the technique itself alone can draw the energy of heaven and earth to temper the body.

But these will put pressure on the body.

Although Li Hao had forgotten the specific insights of the seventh stage of the physical body, he remembered that among the many physical training techniques he had originally integrated, there were some that could not impose any burden on the body and could warm the bones.

Just like remembering that there is a composition question on the back of the test paper.

I forgot what the title was, and I also forgot how to write the content, but I will never forget the three words "composition topic".

After all, college students are also human beings.

Now, if he could elevate the way of the physical body to a high level, and if he could include enough exercises and combine them with the insights gained from the way of the physical body, he might be able to deduce the body-nourishing technique again.

In this way, he can nourish his body in advance and absorb more strange blood, and his future cultivation path will be smoother!
"alright."

When Li Xiaoran heard Li Hao say this, he didn't try to stop him.

Although the Li Hao in front of him is only four years old, the Li Hao outside is fifteen years old. He is already at the age of being sensible and he will not interfere too much in any decision made.

"I'm going to speed up time. What you see later may be me in a state similar to sleepwalking. Don't mind it." Li Xiaoran said.

Li Hao nodded when he heard this, and he was a little curious in his heart. What would he look like in the eyes of others when he jumped time?
This is a good opportunity to use Li Xiaoran's acceleration to try it out.

Soon, Li Hao saw Li Xiaoran closed his eyes.

Then he opened his eyes again quickly, but when he opened them again, he showed Li Hao a gentle smile like an elder and said, "You take your time to look here. I'm going upstairs."

After saying that, he turned and went upstairs.

Li Hao watched him go upstairs. Although it was just a brief observation, he had a feeling that Li Xiaoran at this moment was somewhat different from the Li Xiaoran a moment ago.

Although it is not obvious, if you compare it in a short period of time, you will have a more intuitive feeling.

To put it simply, the current Li Xiaoran seems to be acting like his younger self more naturally.

On the contrary, when Li Xiaoran talked with Li Hao before, there were always some flaws in the changes in his expression, and his disguise was not so perfect.

Li Hao understood. It seemed that his usual disguise was the same. Compared with when he was accelerating, there might be some minor changes, and there were some more flaws that were inconsistent with his identity.

This kind of flaw is actually real.

Recovering his consciousness, Li Hao went to the shelf next to him and started looking through the products.

With his understanding of Tingyu Tower, he is now familiar with the place. He even remembers where many martial arts techniques are placed, on which floor and which bookshelf.

But in the Tingyu Tower here, there are some more skills that Li Hao had never seen before. This is the Tingyu Tower during the period of Li Tianzong.

Fortunately, the changes were not big and had little impact on Li Hao. He flipped through the books one by one.

Start with the lower-level body-refining techniques, this way it will be easier to get started.

Once you get started, the physical body path will appear on the panel and you can directly add points to it. When the time comes, you can also easily get started by looking for high-quality skills.

Not long after, Li Hao finished reading a low-grade body-refining technique.

As if by some coincidence, the book he picked up was the first book he used to practice, "A Hundred Refinements of Stone Skin".

As he began to learn the skills, prompts popped up on Li Hao's panel.

Physical Path: Not yet started (can add points)
Skill: Stone Skin Refining (Not yet started)
Skill points: 4.

Without hesitation, Li Hao directly added the skill points to his physical body one by one.

With every addition, a large amount of information came in. Li Hao was not in a hurry and would add more after absorbing all the information.

After adding points and digesting and absorbing them in this way for half an hour, Li Hao's physical body reached the 4th level!
That painting heart was also consumed by the physical body, breaking the bottleneck obstacle for him.

Only 4 years old, but already at the fourth level of physical cultivation!

Li Hao simply couldn't dare to imagine how terrible it would be if he were to practice now!
But he held back. If he continued practicing now, it would put too much burden on his body and would affect his progress in the middle stage of practice.

Just like Li Xiaoran said, the fastest age for cultivation is five years old.

He started practicing physical training when he was just over five years old. When other children were not even six years old and had not yet embarked on the path of practice, he had already reached the tenth level of Tongli.

This also caused some pressure and squeezing on his body, but these imperceptible physical injuries were eliminated by themselves when his physical body was later upgraded to the seventh level and he entered the Three Immortal Realms.

Now in this Dead River, although Li Hao is confident that he can cultivate to the Third Immortal Realm, there is no need to be impatient at the moment. He should warm up his bones first, wait until he is six years old to practice, and then it will be better to take a step forward.

Li Hao glanced at the panel and saw that the "Hundred Refinements of Stone Skin" on it had been deduced into "Thousand Refinements of Gold Skin", becoming a top-grade body refining technique.

And the level has reached the true level!

Li Hao smiled slightly and began to look for other body-building techniques.

This time he flipped through the book faster, quickly scanning through many techniques and understanding them clearly.

Most of the lower-grade skills can be included after just a quick glance at them.

Once it is included in the panel, it will be directly deduced to a high-grade technique, at the level of the true state.

Li Hao swept through the Tingyu Tower like a whirlwind, browsing through the body-building techniques and absorbing them lavishly.

As more and more body-building exercises were recorded, Li Hao's memories were also constantly instilled.

The four-year-old's body and mind also felt groggy.

But Li Hao held on and did not fall asleep, otherwise he would probably have slept until he was five years old.

He hoped to deduce the technique on his own before measuring his bones.

He continued to absorb and combine many body-building techniques, and gradually his panel contained more techniques that he had deduced by relying on the four stages of the physical body.

Every time a few techniques are collected, one will be deduced on its own.

And the deduced technique quickly reached perfection or the true state level.

Finally, when he was extremely sleepy and drowsy, Li Hao's panel deduced a technique called "Starlight Body Containment Technique".

As a lot of information poured in, Li Hao's eyes suddenly lit up.

It’s this technique!

He was pleasantly surprised. He didn't expect that the 4th level of the physical body could be deduced by him.

He was still worried about recording all the techniques here, but his understanding of the 4th stage of the physical body was not enough to deduce it.

In his current state, he doesn't have the energy to stay awake and get another art point.

After all, he still has the physical strength of a four-year-old child who has not practiced, including the intensity of his consciousness.

At this moment, Li Hao relied on his own willpower to force himself not to fall asleep. Instead, he sat in the building and slowly practiced this technique.

This technique is better practiced at night, as it allows the starlight from heaven and earth to enter the body and provide warmth and nourishment. Practicing it will not bring about qualitative changes like other body-building techniques. It is just that being illuminated by the starlight day after day will remove impurities from the body, making the body more transparent, and the bones contain star power, making it stronger.

After running it once, Li Hao could no longer hold on. He fell into a deep sleep without even caring about feeling himself.

When Li Hao woke up again, he was awakened by the screams in his ears.

Li Hao opened his eyes and saw himself standing in the courtyard in a daze, with an old man with a white beard beside him.

Li Hao felt that the face was familiar to him. It was the Taoist priest from Qingqiu Mountain who had been measuring bones for the Li family for several generations.

Qingqiu Mountain is outside Qingzhou, and this is Longcheng. Just as Li Xiaoran said, because of Li Tianzong's memory, many things have merged and some strange changes have occurred. They cannot be explored, otherwise it will be easy to break and expose itself.

"This, this, this..."

At this moment, the old Taoist from Qingqiu Mountain with white hair and a youthful face looked at Li Hao in shock, stuttering a little and unable to utter a complete sentence.

In the courtyard, besides the old Taoist priest, Li Tianzong, Chen Hefang, and the other "brothers" were also there. Standing at the end was Li Hongzhuang, who was three years old, with her hair tied in a bun, and her little face was full of curiosity and surprise.

"how?"

Li Tianzong saw the reaction of the old Taoist priest from Qingqiu Mountain, frowned, and his face darkened: "Just say whatever you want to say!"

When there was no smile on his face, he immediately revealed a deep sense of majesty, which made the old Taoist of Qingqiu Mountain react quickly and said:

"Great joy, Duke! Great joy!"

"what?"

Li Tianzong looked at him in surprise. If he didn't know that the old Taoist was from Qingqiu Mountain, he would have thought he was a midwife.

"Don't keep me in suspense. It's not like you haven't seen a ninth-level combat body before. My Li family is full of outstanding people. There's nothing to be surprised about."

Li Tianzong rebuked: "How is Xiao Shi's bone measurement?"
