The Legend of Fangren

The so-called experience orb is a kind of energy that the blocky people generate in combat and production activities. This energy exists in the form of an orb and is naturally attracted by the blocky people and integrated into their bodies. It can be used for many purposes and can be considered to be in line with the concept of Xuan Qi.

The game has an experience bar that displays experience points and level, so how would Fang Shi know this?

Having thoroughly mastered the technique, he immediately recalled the method of internal vision.

All cultivators, in the first stage of the Body Cultivation Realm, only seek one thing: to sense their own innate profound energy.

Each realm is divided into three stages: the initial stage, the stable stage, and the perfect stage. Each stage is a phase with very obvious changes, which greatly improves the cultivator's strength.

The change upon entering the initial stage of cultivation is that the cultivator's body can adapt to the entry of external profound energy and maintain its balance.

"Hiss... So that's what it's like this morning. No wonder we don't have to do morning exercises."

So it is precisely because he entered the cultivation realm this morning that he has the ability to dissolve and transform the profound energy of living beings.

He quickly climbed out of the muddy pool and onto a hard spot at the edge. Fang Shi took off his backpack and began practicing his martial arts.

As his fists and feet flew, he squinted his eyes and focused his consciousness into his body.

In the darkness, he could sense a force flowing through his body along with his movements, but it was so vague that he would lose it as soon as he focused his consciousness, making it extremely difficult to sense.

The sign of this stable cultivation stage is that the cultivator can clearly perceive the circulation of profound energy within their body.

After this, because everyone's inner circulation is different, cultivators need to practice diligently and constantly use various techniques in the body cultivation method to find out their own energy path and form the initial shape of the inner circulation.

Once the inner circulatory system is initially formed, the body will undergo a complete transformation. By simply following the flow of the inner circulatory system, the cultivator can unleash power that mortals cannot achieve—this is the perfected stage of body cultivation.

Fang Shi estimated that he hadn't even reached the stabilization period yet, but compared to the previous period, this result was already gratifying enough.

But what is most gratifying is not his realm, but his method of refining profound energy.

Other cultivators need to consume spiritual items and use cultivation techniques to refine their profound energy. The reason why his aptitude is called "waste" is because his efficiency in refining profound energy is extremely low. This can be seen from the fact that he practiced diligently and ate a lot of spiritual fruits a few days ago, but did not make much progress.

Anyone with a bit of talent would have entered the Body Cultivation Realm within three days if they followed this method of eating, but it took him almost twenty days, his cultivation speed was like a snail's crawl.

Thinking about it this way, he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat... He had previously thought that his special ability was not an insurmountable obstacle, but if he hadn't just entered the cultivation realm and unlocked new abilities, what good would it do to have the power of deconstruction if he only used traditional cultivation methods?

"Thank goodness..."

Overjoyed, Fang Shi realized that his future path of cultivation was destined to be different from that of ordinary cultivators.

However, it's not necessary to be so extreme as to say that consuming spiritual objects has no effect at all. Profound energy is an extraordinary power, but it is not something that can shape the body.

The power of living beings is divided into Yin and Yang. Yang is the intangible energy, while Yin is the tangible substance. The intangible energy is the physical strength, while the tangible substance is the physical strength. Physical strength is the strength of the body and is also fundamental, so one should not neglect cultivation.

To put it bluntly, you need both the blue and red stripes.

"So, does that mean I have to go find a mystical beast to fight? And since the power of dissolving is hidden in my right hand, do I have to use my right hand to finish off the mystical beast?"

After calming down, Fang Shi returned to the mud and picked out the corpse of the strange frog.

Fang Shi didn't know what kind of strange frog it was, but he figured it would be a good find, so he decided to take it with him.

In recent days, he has figured out the logic of the poisonous creatures in the Xuan Realm.

So-called poisons are actually substances containing an excess of a certain element. Once they enter the body, they will damage the corresponding parts of the body that are subject to mutual generation and restraint, and at the same time disturb the inner circulatory energy.

Therefore, the detoxification effect can be achieved simply by using the principles of mutual generation and restraint to neutralize the toxic elements.

As long as this principle is followed, there is nothing in the Xuan Realm that cannot be eaten—in any case, Fang Shi will definitely find a reason to try it.

After several attempts to dissect the lotus seeds and lotus roots, Fang Shi found some lotus seeds and lotus roots, filling a whole basket, and then embarked on his journey home.

He didn't stop to think during the journey. The cultivation method didn't explain much about spirits and mystical beasts. It seemed that ordinary cultivators would only need to eat the flesh of mystical beasts when they reached the Nourishing Breath Realm... This was because the mystical energy in the flesh of mystical beasts was more active and violent. Only those who had formed the initial stage of the Inner Heaven could withstand it. If a cultivator wanted to withstand the complete Inner Heaven, he also needed to eat flesh of mystical beasts to strengthen his body.

As the sensation of circulating internal energy gradually disappeared as his body adapted, Fang Shi felt an irresistible urge to fight.

When I was in Qiaocun, I often heard the old people in the village say that they had seen a mysterious beast. When they talked about it, it was as terrifying as a god or ghost. Its claws could destroy trees and its tail could shatter walls. If a small village encountered it, the village would surely be destroyed and its people would die.

However, Canglong Peak has a protective formation, and the highest level of spirits and beasts in the mountain is no more than the third rank. The stronger they are, the more they are oppressed and forced to leave.

"In that case, wouldn't it be like 'when the tiger is away, the lion's den,' and I'll become the king?"

A brilliant idea suddenly came to Fang Shi's mind.

Since the sect's protective formation can drive away powerful mystical beasts, isn't the path down the mountain the only way for those mystical beasts and monsters?

Recalling that rainy night, the clouds and mist climbed the mountain, and rain fell from the clouds. Countless raindrops seeped into the gaps between the soil and rocks in the mountain, turning into thousands of trickles of water that flowed down.

At the valley below the mountainside, the river converges to a width of more than 10 meters and a depth of 4 or 5 meters, interspersed with pebbles and aquatic plants, full of vitality.

Water is the source of life, and this principle also applies in the mystical realm. Therefore, the movements of mystical beasts are inseparable from water sources. Even divine beasts driven by oppression will inevitably leave the mountain streams along water sources.

Fang Shi knew he was weak, especially since there was a significant difference between humans and beasts. He knew he would have no chance of winning against a slightly larger mythical beast.

The power of cultivators and mystical beasts of the same size and realm is vastly different. Without a mystical weapon, even three or five cultivators cannot defeat a mystical beast. Therefore, even if a cultivator below the Qi Gathering Realm is powerful among mortals, he is still a weak existence in the wilderness.

He only had a wood-chopping axe in his hand, an ordinary weapon, which made it extremely difficult to deal with the mystical beasts with feathers and scales.

"What if we use a trap?"

Isn't the essential difference between humans and birds and beasts that they have brains?

After storing the harvest in the cave, Fang Shi planned to go to the mountain stream again tomorrow. Today, he would first check on the jam in the square jar.

Dig out a square earthenware jar from the deepest part of the cave. Don't open it yet. Instead, bring your nose close to the mouth of the jar and smell it. Sure enough, you can smell a faint sweet aroma. Then take out a small spoonful and put it in your mouth.

Mmm! This sweetness... it's like the first time I tasted the Sky Fruit, the impact of that flavor is still fresh in my memory.

Originally, this jam was meant to be used with Fire Heart Fruit for cultivation, but now that he has found another way, he might as well keep some for himself and give some to He Zi.

Although fire overcomes metal, fire also generates earth, and earth in turn generates metal, making it an excellent tonic.

Oh, and that strange frog has already been neutralized by his Xuan Qi, leaving only its Xuan beast corpse. Eating it shouldn't be a problem.

After rinsing with water, roast it with the skin on. Although there are no spices, the meat of the Xuan Beast is as delicious as the spiritual fruit, and the aroma of the meat itself is irresistible. Then spread a layer of Fire Heart Fruit jam on it to make honey-glazed roasted frog.

Mmm~~ The aroma is so sweet, this meal is very satisfying.

After finishing the meal, put the jam away carefully, and begin preparing for tomorrow's trap.

Reflecting on what he had seen in the mountains over the past few days, he had several potential hunting grounds in mind.
