Lin Xiaofei listened to the man's explanation of the martial arts realms for a while, and seemed to be deep in thought.

With his current level of martial arts skill, he is still quite far from reaching the level of a third-rate martial artist.

First, he needs to reach the Flowing Realm and the Inner Qi Realm before he can become a third-rate martial artist.

He knew that his master, Zhou Huanshan, was still at the peak of the Inner Qi Realm. As long as he could compress the inner qi in his body to an extreme degree, he could convert it into internal force and thus enter the ranks of third-rate martial artists.

"Now I understand why the bandits of Black Wind Stronghold are so arrogant. The leaders of those bandits are all highly skilled in martial arts, and even the town mayor can't do anything about them."

Lin Xiaofei walked down the street, lost in thought.

Ding Baiyu, the third leader of Black Wind Stronghold, possessed the strength of the Inner Qi Realm, placing him at the same level as his master. Zhao Baichuan, the second leader of the bandits, was already a third-rate martial artist, at the same level as the sect leader Chen Longhai. Moreover, Black Wind Stronghold also had a third-rate expert as its leader, demonstrating that the overall strength of Black Wind Stronghold was stronger than that of the Green Peak Gang branch.

Back at the inner disciples' residence, Lin Xiaofei entered his room, thought of the little black cat, and glanced around the room.

Where's the little black cat?

A hint of doubt flashed through Lin Xiaofei's mind; he couldn't see the kitten.

He walked around the house and came to a small corner of the room, where he saw the kitten.

At this moment, the little black cat was lying inside a large cloth bag placed on the ground, its eyes closed and its head lowered, as if it were sleeping.

Lin Xiaofei glanced at it and smiled slightly. He noticed that there was a lot of blood on the corner of the little black cat's mouth, and he immediately understood what had happened.

Previously, he had casually placed a large bag of snake meat in a corner of the room. He thought that the little black cat must have smelled the bloody scent of the snake meat and followed the scent into the bag.

"I didn't really want to eat this snake meat anyway, but since this little guy wants to eat it, I'll leave it for him."

Lin Xiaofei thought to himself.

The flesh and blood of this demonic serpent contain a trace of spirituality and are a great tonic. If ordinary people were to consume it, it would increase their strength and improve their health.

The little black cat is still young, and eating the snake meat will probably help it grow stronger.

Lin Xiaofei squatted down and patted the little black cat's head.

"Meow!"

The little black cat meowed softly, as if it regarded Lin Xiaofei as its master, letting him stroke its head with one hand.

"They're quite well-behaved!"

Lin Xiaofei smiled. He had rescued the little black cat from the playing boys. It was on the verge of death, looking like it was about to starve.

Now, the little black cat's fur is shiny and clean, and it looks adorable. Lin Xiaofei thinks that the little black cat has eaten some demon snake meat, which has improved its body, hence its appearance.

Lin Xiaofei stroked the little black cat a few times, and the kitten stood up. As if it were hungry again, it started tearing into the snake meat in front of it, occasionally licking the blood off its mouth.

Watching the little black cat wolf down its food, Lin Xiaofei was somewhat moved. It seemed that the little black cat hadn't eaten properly in a long time.

"Little one, take your time eating, I won't bother you anymore."

Lin Xiaofei smiled, stood up, sat down at the table, and then took out a secret manual and five small porcelain bottles from his pocket.

"Golden Bronze Body Technique!"

Lin Xiaofei held the advanced martial arts manual in his hand, feeling a surge of excitement.

Then, place five small porcelain bottles on the table. These bottles contain Zixin Pills, which are auxiliary pills used to cultivate the Flowing Technique.

Previously, he killed Li Yiming and took a bottle of Zixin Pills from him, so he now has six bottles of Zixin Pills.

After calming his excitement, Lin Xiaofei quickly browsed through the advanced cultivation techniques, specifically the Golden Bronze Body Technique.

"Entering the mainstream of martial arts requires tempering the heart, tendons, and kidneys."

The heart, tendons, and kidneys are all delicate parts of the body, so the force generated during the exercise should be appropriate, otherwise it is easy to injure the body.

In particular, if you exert too much force when training your heart, you may rupture it, which could easily cause serious injury.

I'll try practicing the Golden Bronze Body Technique once first, so I can better understand it and comprehend the power generated by circulating the technique within my body.

However, just to be on the safe side, it's advisable to take a Heart-Nourishing Pill before practicing, as it can strengthen the heart and prevent injury.

After becoming familiar with the contents of the Golden Bronze Body Technique, Lin Xiaofei gained a deeper understanding of cultivating the Stream-Entry Technique.

Practicing advanced martial arts techniques involves training the heart, tendons, and kidneys, enabling martial artists to unleash greater power from within their bodies. This requires a strong degree of control over the body's internal systems.

"The Body Tempering Divine Skill has greatly improved my own strength, making my self-control much stronger than that of ordinary peak martial artists. Therefore, according to the cultivation method of the Golden Bronze Body Technique, I can start cultivating the Golden Bronze Body Technique at any time."

Lin Xiaofei had a sudden realization.

Without the slightest hesitation, Lin Xiaofei picked up a small porcelain bottle on the table, poured out a Zixin Pill, and swallowed it in one gulp.

Soon, Lin Xiaofei felt a warm current in his abdomen, gradually flowing towards his heart, as if a force was swirling around his heart, strengthening its resilience.

"We can begin."

Lin Xiaofei muttered to himself, then quickly focused his mind and activated the Golden Bronze Body Technique.

He controlled the speed of the cultivation technique, as if a faint power was constantly rising within his body, and a wisp of flowing power quickly rushed into his heart.

Thump!

It felt like a stone hammer was smashing directly into my heart, and my heart skipped a beat.

In an instant, the force flowing into his heart disappeared, and a hint of surprise appeared in Lin Xiaofei's eyes.

"Hmm? My heart can definitely withstand this force."

Lin Xiaofei felt the power flowing through his heart and thought to himself:

In that case, why don't I increase the intensity and speed up the circulation of the technique? This would strengthen the heart and enhance the effect.

If I take another Heart-Nourishing Pill, my heart will withstand even greater force, and the tempering effect might be even better.

Discovering that his heart had great resilience, he accelerated the circulation of the Golden Bronze Body Technique, and an even stronger force rose from his body, directly impacting his heart.

After several attempts, he managed to control a force that was neither too small nor too large to flow into his heart, thus achieving a state where it would not harm his heart and he could quickly cultivate the Flowing Technique.

After a force struck the heart, another force rose within the body and struck the heart once more.

One after another, it was as if wave after wave of force was impacting his heart, constantly tempering it and gradually increasing its resilience.

As time went on, when he used more force to strike his heart, he found that his heart was not beating as strongly as before. He immediately realized that his heart had become more resilient, and that with each heartbeat, the force bursting out of his body was also greater.
