The end of Gaowu: Becoming stronger from not practicing

Zhang Lingfeng didn't know if the Wang family's investigation into Wang Dalong's death had come to an end. In any case, with his soul essence exceeding 500.0, although he had not yet become a fourth-level soul essence master, Zhang Lingfeng possessed the ability to resist the Wang family's supernatural detection abilities.

Unless the Wang family conducts further investigations and expends more manpower and resources, they will not be able to find him directly through supernatural causal investigation in the short term.

Now that he possesses the Golden Immortal Essence Cultivation Method and the Level 4 Soul Essence Cultivation Method, Zhang Lingfeng only needs to find ways to obtain "lying down points" and continuously improve his strength.

Perhaps when I become a Great Luo Golden Immortal and a Level 4 Soul Yuan Master, I will be able to fight against the Wang family and confront the threat of the Shadow Alliance.

In short, finding ways to gain "lying down" points became Zhang Lingfeng's top priority.

Bathed in Wang Ningzhi's Taoist magic, Zhang Lingfeng now gains 500 points of "lying down" value every day. Originally, it was 1,000 points, but unexpectedly, as his soul essence exceeded 500, the acquisition of "lying down" value was reduced by half.

This caused Zhang Lingfeng a great deal of trouble.

Without increasing his strength, he couldn't face the threat from the Wang family; but even after increasing his strength, he found it difficult to gain more "lying down points" from Wang Ningzhi.

Fortunately, living in Wang Ningzhi's territory and constantly bathed in Wang Ningzhi's Taoist magic, Zhang Lingfeng was still able to continuously gain "lying down value".

one year later.

Zhang Lingfeng has accumulated another 180,000 "lying down" points.

On this day, Wang Ningzhi finally took Zhang Lingfeng into the Monster Mountain Range to inspect the Yuan Stone mines. Zhang Lingfeng was still unaware of how the Wang family, the Li family, and other families divided the Yuan Stone mines in the Monster Mountain Range.

However, after Wang Ningzhi attained the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, it seems that the Wang family also received a small portion of the Yuan Stone vein after meeting the quota in terms of quantity.

During this period, Wang Ningzhi was in seclusion cultivating to consolidate her cultivation. The higher-ups of the Wang family had entered the Magical Beast Mountain Range multiple times to inspect the mining work of the Yuan Stone vein.

Within the Yuan Stone vein.

"when!"

Each piece of ore is exceptionally solid.

The mined ore requires special techniques to extract its power and form it into elemental stones.

Yan Fei pioneered a physical cultivation method, transforming himself into a muscular tyrant and reaching the pinnacle of cultivation.

Unexpectedly, after finally ascending to the upper world, Yan Fei found himself becoming a member of the Li family. In order to earn spirit stones and obtain enough cultivation resources to strengthen his physical body, Yan Fei had no choice but to mine here.

Each time these ores are mined, cultivators need to channel their immortal energy to hammer them down.

Yan Fei's physical body is extremely powerful. Every time he mines, he relies on his physical strength to extract more ore than others, and he also obtains more spirit stones and rewards.

Many people looked at him with strange expressions.

Some people had ill intentions and wanted to dump the ore from Yan Fei's basket or take it away directly. Yan Fei didn't tolerate them. Although many of these people had higher cultivation levels than him.

However, each person consumed a lot of immortal energy when mining ore. Without stimulating their immortal energy, their physical bodies simply could not mine ore.

Therefore, when he didn't have much immortal energy left, Yan Fei could still exchange blows with them. As someone who cultivated to immortality through physical cultivation, Yan Fei was tough and resilient.

His physical body can even form scales, and after cultivating to a certain level, it can continue to strengthen itself. Even a full-force attack from a powerful Earth Immortal might not be able to break through his defenses.

He started hammering at a group of people.

After a few days, once everyone understood his strength, although they had caused him a lot of damage, no one dared to continue to rob him of his spirit stones.

With Yan Fei's strength, he didn't need to come here to mine ore; he could make a living through other means. However, he discovered that mining ore was the easiest way for him to earn the necessary elemental stones, given his physical abilities.

At the same time, mining ore can also strengthen one's physical body.

He could obtain spirit stones and improve his strength at the same time, so why not? Although he lived the life of a beast of burden, he was full of hope for the future.

The reason he lacks spirit stones is because he needs guidance from a more powerful physical cultivator.

Yan Fei discovered that his method of physical cultivation had reached a bottleneck, and he could not find a way to achieve another breakthrough in his physical body.

As far as he knew, there were many such practitioners in the upper world.

There is such a person in the Li family.

Furthermore, he attained the status of a Great Luo Golden Immortal through the power of his physical body. It is said that his physical body was as powerful as that of some demonic beasts, and he could be immune to the immortal energy attacks of many Great Luo Golden Immortals.

Unfortunately, the other party is elusive and rarely seen.

Very rare to see.

Thinking that he would receive guidance from the other party, he had to work hard and keep mining ore. Perhaps as his physical body improved, he would gradually attract the other party's attention and, with their help, perfect his cultivation system.

Secondly, if Yan Fei wants to learn more about cultivation secrets related to the physical body, he also needs spirit stones.

He knew that there were many such secret cultivation methods on the black market.

It might be helpful to me.

In short, mining ore can yield spirit stones and enhance one's strength, which Yan Fei enjoys immensely. He constantly swings the iron hammer in his hand, which is crafted by a weapon refiner and can bear immortal energy or directly shatter ore. With each strike, Yan Fei feels all the power of his body resonating with the hammer.

Every time the hammer fell and struck the ore, he felt that it wasn't the hammer that was chiseling the ore open, but rather the power of his own body penetrating into the stone through the hammer.

The stone was torn to pieces.

He was searching for the best way to unleash the power of his physical body.

Upon entering the world above, he felt an extremely strong suppression of power. In the Blackwater Starfield, although he was not the ruler, the restrictions were very small.

One step is enough to jump from the ancient blue planet to the allied planet.

In places like Baiwuxing, one can only shuttle back and forth.

But ever since he arrived in the world above, he felt that the so-called laws of heaven were like layers of shackles, imprisoning all the acupoints in his body.

Because of those layers of shackles, all the immortal essence, bloodline, soul essence, physical strength, and so on of all cultivators are unable to truly unleash their power.

As someone who created his own physical cultivation method and attained immortality, Yan Fei's understanding and insights into cultivation, as well as his talent, are undoubtedly many times greater than Zhang Lingfeng's.

Calling him a genius of his time would not be an exaggeration.

Of course, his current talent for cultivation is also related to Zhang Lingfeng's nurturing of life in the Blackwater Starfield after becoming its ruler.

It is thanks to his protection and assistance, and his constant practice of the true meaning of protecting life, that the ecology of the Blackwater Starfield has undergone earth-shattering changes.

Only a life like Yan Fei's can awaken consciousness.

Like an awakening, one gains sudden enlightenment, thereby creating a physical cultivation method and breaking the shackles of the first, second, and third major cultivation systems.

To directly attain immortality through the power of one's physical body.

The physical cultivation method created by Yan Fei has now been accepted and recognized by all life forms in the Blackwater Star Region, and some even follow one after another to cultivate it.

Statues of Yan Fei have appeared in various places.

Although Yan Fei's status in the Blackwater Star Region was not as high as Zhang Lingfeng's, he was second only to Zhang Lingfeng.

All life in the Blackwater Starfield knows that in their starfield, there is the ruler Zhang Lingfeng, the little golden dragon for protection, and the ancestral dragon to nurture all living beings.

Furthermore, Yan Fei pioneered a completely new method of physical cultivation, directly opening up the first, second, and third major cultivation systems for life in the Blackwater Star Region.

May every life have the opportunity to attain enlightenment and become an immortal.

During the time Zhang Lingfeng ascended to the upper world, many peerless geniuses emerged in the Blackwater Star Region. Many geniuses, through Yan Fei's cultivation method, opened up their dantian and qi sea within two or three years, using their physical bodies as spiritual roots to absorb the essence of heaven and earth, and operate the five elements laws, etc.

"when!"

Yan Fei repeatedly hammered the ore, and with each strike, even the largest ore would crumble. Soon he filled a large basket with ore, carried it to the foreman to weigh it, and then carried the empty basket back to his original position to continue mining.

This continued repeatedly. The manager couldn't help but nod in approval; the more people like Yan Fei, the better. The more ore his subordinates mined, the more dividends and rewards he would receive.

At this time.

Zhang Lingfeng accompanied Wang Ningzhi into the mine on the same day.

As a Great Luo Golden Immortal, Wang Ningzhi is the focus of everyone's attention, especially since she has only recently been promoted to Great Luo Golden Immortal. Her legend is known throughout the entire Zixiao City.

There are also Grand Luo Golden Immortals and even Nine Heavens Mystic Immortals presiding over the mines.

However, the person in charge did not dare to neglect the task and hurriedly came to greet Wang Ningzhi. They then took Wang Ningzhi on a tour of the mine so that she could understand the various situations within the mine.

"when!"

The sounds of hammering were incessant.

Zhang Lingfeng couldn't help but look around.

Within the Yuan Stone mine, he sensed a strong fluctuation of Yuan Stone power. The mined ore required special processing techniques to extract Yuan Stone.

The ground beneath my feet is covered with waste Yuan Stone.

Every figure around them was at least a Human Immortal cultivator, and they were all happily swinging their hammers.

Some people would sit down to rest when they got tired, and after replenishing their immortal essence and recovering some of their strength, they would continue hammering. Others would keep hammering the ore in order to earn more spirit stones, while absorbing the energy of heaven and earth through breathing techniques to replenish their immortal essence.

Zhang Lingfeng felt that the people here were even more hardworking than those living the 996 lifestyle in his previous life.

Everyone rolled up.

No one forced them to stay and mine ore.

Since the Wang family acquired a small portion of the profits from this mine, Zhang Lingfeng learned that these miners were mostly outsiders.

Earning spirit stones here is much easier than finding immortal herbs and medicines in the Monster Mountain Range, and there is no danger involved.

Although the amount of spirit stones earned each time was not much.

But its advantage lies in its stability; there's always work to do every day.

There's no need to worry about not having enough spirit stones to earn. Besides, the monsters and demons in the vicinity dare not approach this place, so mining here won't endanger your life.

Of course, if they were pressed down by some heavy ore, even ordinary human immortals or earth immortals would not be able to withstand it.

However, the murders that occurred were negligible compared to the Monster Mountain Range.

Zhang Lingfeng had once thought about mining ore to earn spirit stones, but that was too demanding and not suitable for a relaxed lifestyle. If he worked like that, he wouldn't get a single "relaxation point".

"Eh!"

Suddenly, a figure caught Zhang Lingfeng's attention.

A middle-aged man with powerful horizontal lines on his body picked up a piece of ore and put it into a basket, then picked up a huge piece of ore and put it into another basket.

The two baskets were squeezed so tightly by the huge ore that their edges were twisted, as if they were about to burst.

However, such a large ore size does not meet the requirements of the mine.

Just as people were wondering what was going on, the middle-aged man swung his hammer and smashed it hard onto the huge ore in the basket.

"boom!"

The ore developed many cracks.

"boom!"

There are more and more cracks.

What was originally a huge ore was broken into countless pieces after the middle-aged man hammered it several times, almost overflowing from the basket.

The middle-aged man was satisfied, and then he carried the ore to deliver it.

"Teacher Yan."

"To attain immortality through physical means."

The middle-aged man was none other than Yan Fei.

Throughout the entire mine, Yan Fei was the only one who used this method to extract ore. He would first dig out a huge piece of ore, put it in a basket, and then use a hammer to crush the ore into powder.

This avoids the need to shovel the broken ore back into the basket later, saving a lot of time.

Of course, sometimes, when it's impossible to mine a giant ore all at once, Yan Fei, like everyone else, would shovel the broken ore from the ground back into his basket, one shovel at a time.

Most of the time, they would put several large pieces of ore into a basket and then use a hammer to crush them into powder.

While others can mine one basket of ore, he can mine five or six baskets, making him several times more efficient.

Zhang Lingfeng had no idea that Yan Fei had already attained immortality and ascended to Zixiao City, becoming one of its miners. It seemed that Yan Fei's situation was not optimistic.

At the same time, Zhang Lingfeng also noticed that there were several pairs of eyes in the mine that were staring at Yan Fei and secretly communicating with him, seemingly with ill intentions.

"Humph!"

The foreman in charge of registering the ore weights couldn't help but snort, and the few whispering miners quickly dispersed.

The manager then handed some spirit stones to Yan Fei and said, "You must be careful. Don't leave the mine unless there's something going on. If you return to the city, it's best to travel in groups and not alone."

Yan Fei is highly efficient at work, and if Yan Fei were to die, the manager would also suffer a loss, he kindly reminded him.

"Thank you, Manager Li."

Yan Fei knew perfectly well what was going on.

He put the spirit stones into his storage space and continued working in the mine. He saw powerful cultivators descending into the mine, but he did not stop to watch.

He also failed to discover that one of the strangers was Zhang Lingfeng, whom he had been searching for.

Yan Fei's idea was very simple.

Zhang Lingfeng has been in the Upper World for so many years, and perhaps he has already established himself there. If he had Zhang Lingfeng's help, he wouldn't have to work so hard now.

Perhaps he already had enough spirit stones to purchase materials that could answer his questions and help him perfect the secrets of physical cultivation.

"You know him?"

Wang Ningzhi asked.

He noticed that Zhang Lingfeng's gaze was fixed on Yan Fei after he spotted him.

"I don't recognize him. I find it strange that this guy's physical body is so strong. He doesn't even need to use his immortal energy when mining ore."

Zhang Lingfeng hurriedly shook his head.

"I wonder if the people from the Shadow Alliance have already discovered Teacher Yan. If they know that Teacher Yan is here, they will definitely be watching Teacher Yan's every move and trying to find me through Teacher Yan."

Zhang Lingfeng thought to himself, subtly glancing around to see if there were any suspicious figures. He knew that the people who had been warned earlier were after the Yuan Stones on Yan Fei.

"If the Shadow Alliance can find the Wang family, they can definitely find the Li family as well. If nothing unexpected happens, Teacher Yan may already be under the surveillance of the Shadow Alliance's experts."

Zhang Lingfeng deduced that he wanted to recognize Yan Fei, but not now. Even if the Shadow Alliance didn't know Yan Fei, he didn't want Wang Ningzhi to know that he came from the Blackwater Star Region.
