Immortality: I can absorb the memories of the dead.

Chapter 3: Heaven-Devouring Magic, Acquired Realm

The public meals in Tianlao were not tasty. The beans were stewed, the cabbage was boiled, there were few grains of rice in the pot of porridge, and the main dish was a clear soup with little water.

The only two advantages are that it’s free and you’re guaranteed to be full.

You won't get silver every day from looting Zhouyi loot, because you only get partial memories. So looting is like opening a blind box. Not to mention that most of the time you get empty hands, some blind boxes are even poisonous.

For example, one time a fool had a memory telling him where his treasure was buried, so Zhou Yi went over and dug it out with great effort. When he opened it, he was surprised to find that it was actually a jar of live centipedes, which almost crawled into his crotch!
Therefore, he ate a lot in Tianlao on weekdays, and would only go out for a big meal once every two or three days.

The body's qi and blood are becoming increasingly vigorous.

"Master Ma, why are you here too?"

Everyone was queuing up for food, and Ma Guocheng also came here, and everyone made way for him.

"Damn it, I've had bad luck lately and lost a lot of money, so I can only come here to eat the public meal."

"Master Ma, don't be angry. You are blessed with good fortune. You will win it back sooner or later."

"Master Ma, please take a seat. If you want to eat something, I will prepare it for you."

Everyone flattered him, which made Ma Guocheng feel very happy.

"You guys are really nice, unlike that damned Scholar Tian. Fuck him, he wouldn't lend me some money to make up for his losses. Why is a rejected scholar pretending to be so shameless? I followed the warden through guns and swords."

Everyone ordered their food and gathered around with smiles on their faces.

"Master Ma, calm down. You are a master of acquired body training. Why bother with him?"

"Master Ma, you are a martial arts master, can you tell us about this martial arts realm?"

"Yes, Master Ma, please tell us about it. Let us broaden our horizons and learn more."

Ma Guocheng was overjoyed by the flattery and naturally would not refuse everyone's request.

"Okay, let me tell you about it."

Zhou Yi ate while listening attentively.

"The realm of martial arts is divided into five realms.

The first realm is called the initial realm. This realm mainly absorbs the spiritual energy of heaven and earth into the body, forms true essence, and cleanses the body.

The second realm is called the acquired realm. This realm starts from the internal organs, goes to the tendons, bones and meridians, and finally the skin. It can make people become bronze-skinned and iron-boned, invulnerable to swords and guns, and as strong as an ox. It is also called body refining.

The third realm is much more powerful, and is known as the innate realm. One can release one's true essence and transform it into strong energy to kill people, and it can cut through iron like mud!
A fourth-level clan can split mountains, crack land, and seal rivers with one sword. A clan leader is almost unrivaled in the world. Even if they break the law, they will not be punished, and the royal family will give them some face. "

"Hi~!"

When everyone heard this, they were fascinated and felt like it was a myth.

Zhou Yi felt okay with what he heard. After all, compared with the novels in his previous life where eras were often cut off and eternity was determined, this was just child's play.

"What about the fifth realm?"

"The fifth realm is incredible."

Ma Guocheng's eyes revealed a hint of admiration and fanaticism.

"That is what is called the Martial Saint of the World! Once you reach this level, you can establish a country. Therefore, this level is also called the Martial Saint of the Country! They are no longer in the category of human beings."

"Hi~!"

Everyone's scalp tingled. Throughout the ages, they had heard of the word "saint" in countless books of saints, but they never expected that such an existence was actually real.

"I really don't know when I will have the chance to become a national martial saint."

Upon hearing this, Ma Guocheng burst into laughter.

"Hahahaha. You're really funny. Do you think it's that easy to become a national martial saint? That's a one in a billion existence.

Aptitude, talent, and opportunity are all indispensable. Throughout history, there have been many geniuses who have entered the initial stage in a few days, but they are still geniuses!
It would take an ordinary person several months or even several years to enter the initial stage, while it would take several years or even decades to enter the acquired body refining stage.

I have been practicing hard for thirty-nine years, but I have only reached the realm of acquired body refining. You bastards, if you can reach the initial realm in this life, you should burn incense and worship Buddha, and thank your ancestors for the smoke rising from their graves. "

Upon hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement.

Only Zhou Yi was secretly calculating in his heart.

"It only took me one month to break through to the initial stage. Could it be that my aptitude is also very good? Although I am not as good as those top geniuses, I am much better than ordinary people. If this is true, perhaps I will be able to break through faster than ordinary people in the future. Not bad."

He is an optimist by nature and does not feel lost or depressed just because he is not the top genius.

After dinner, Zhou Yi came to the morgue again. Among the people who died today, there was a warrior.

[I finally got the Heaven Devouring Magic Skill. From now on, I want no one in this world to look down on me. I want no one in the imperial court to disrespect me! I want to climb up step by step, step by step, until I reach the top. I want to be the best in the martial arts world!]

[How ridiculous that such a small imperial court actually wants to take my Heaven Devouring Magic Skill! Even if I die in the Heavenly Prison, I will never hand over the Heaven Devouring Magic Skill! ]

[Unless you give me a first-rank official! ]

[Humph, you think you can bribe me with a roast duck? Without a top-ranking official, I will never hand over the Heaven Devouring Magic Skill.]

[Fuck, this duck is poisonous! You are from the Demon Cult! Fuck your mother!]

"Swallowing Heaven Demon Technique!"

Zhou Yi was shocked. It sounded like something bad, but it also seemed very powerful.

He immediately carefully sensed the other party's remaining memories and quickly recorded this technique in his mind.

"I see."

After watching the Heaven-Devouring Demon Art, Zhou Yi finally understood how a small fry like the other party dared to have such arrogant ideas.

The Heaven-Devouring Demon Art was once the most powerful martial art in the martial arts world, and it was also a taboo in the martial arts world.

Its origin is no longer known because it is too ancient, but every time it appears, it will cause a bloody storm in the world.

Because this technique is too evil!

It is a kind of internal strength method that can absorb the internal strength of others and turn it into one's own use. If one does not have the internal strength of others, eating soup, medicine and meat in the early stage will also have some effect.

Those who practice this method can often reach the innate state within a few years.

But it also has a huge side effect, that is, because it is a quick method, it will consume a lot of one's own essence and blood, and essence and blood are related to lifespan, which means that one will die young.

"The only side effect is a shortened life"

Zhou Yi: “!”

What a coincidence, isn't it?

What he lacks most is longevity.

This is tailor-made for me!
Go back and practice.

Zhou Yi made up his mind, submitted the autopsy file, and quickly returned to his room to start practicing the Heaven-Devouring Demon Art.

Time flies, and several months have passed in the blink of an eye.

One day, Zhou Yi was practicing, when suddenly, he felt a surge in his body, and his internal organs suddenly became extremely clear. With every breath he took, there was a faint sound of thunder.

Zhou Yi opened his eyes, two golden lights shone from his eyes, and he was overjoyed.

"The Heaven Devouring Demonic Art is indeed powerful. In just half a year, I have broken through from the initial stage to the acquired stage!"
