Gu Yuan smiled and said, "Physical practitioners and spiritual practitioners are actually just two different methods of cultivation. There is no difference between them. They have their own advantages and disadvantages. Although spiritual practitioners can exert terrifying power by mastering spiritual energy, they also have a limitation. That is, the spiritual energy stored in the spiritual veins in the body is also limited. Once the spiritual energy is consumed, they will become fish on the enemy's chopping board and can be slaughtered at will. However, physical practitioners are different. Physical practitioners rely on physical strength to fight. As long as physical strength is sufficient, If it doesn't weaken, it can unleash this terrifying power. Furthermore, if a physical cultivator and a spiritual cultivator are at the same level, I'd favor the physical cultivator. After all, spiritual cultivators generally don't prioritize physical strength. Their bodies are relatively weak, while those who cultivate the physical body possess terrifying power. If a spiritual cultivator makes a mistake and is caught by a physical cultivator, your terrifying power could easily rip the spiritual cultivator's flesh apart. If even their flesh is shredded, how can they even fight?

The big man smiled and shook his head, saying, "Brother, this is not right. In fact, it cannot be said that way. In fact, what you said is not completely wrong, but there is one thing that is more correct, that is, in terms of physical strength, we have an advantage. But at the same time, you also have your own advantages. Among some lower-level practitioners, practitioners of physical strength do have a slight advantage, because the physical bodies of you spiritual practitioners are relatively weak. But if you practice a little higher, you spiritual practitioners still occupy the mainstream. After all, there are not many practitioners of physical strength in this world. This can also be regarded as a test of the practice method. After all, if there is no problem with physical practice, how could there be so few physical practitioners? After all, in ancient times, physical practitioners and spiritual practitioners were the same, but as time passed, there are basically only you spiritual practitioners left in the world, and we physical practitioners are almost invisible. This has already shown that you still have a considerable advantage in the practice of the two. Looking around, this big All the top-tier warriors on the land are spiritual cultivators. Truly top-tier physical cultivators are incredibly difficult to achieve. Take me, for example. Reaching the fourth level of physical strength might only take ten years. But if I were to go from the fourth level to the eighth level, even if I were given twenty or thirty years, let alone ten, I wouldn't be able to reach it. No! Definitely not! Since you're not a physical cultivator, it's hard for you to imagine the difficulty of physical cultivation. You spiritual cultivators cultivate your spiritual energy while also slightly strengthening your physical constitution. You utilize spiritual elixirs and other external forces to enhance your physique. But for those of us who cultivate physical strength, these methods are rarely used. Most of us simply strengthen our physical bodies, constantly pushing ourselves to the limit, recovering from injury in battle, then recovering again, and repeating this cycle. Only in this way can we slowly push our physical limits, gradually increasing our strength, physical strength, and so on. In short, our cultivation is truly too difficult."

Gu Yuan nodded and said, "If that's the case, then it's true. Although I haven't deliberately cultivated physical strength, I do pay more attention to physical strength in the process of cultivating spiritual energy. So I use some spiritual medicines and other external forces to enhance my physical strength. In this process, I can indeed feel the difficulty. Every time I break through the limit, it is extremely difficult and extremely painful. It's not like us who cultivate spiritual energy. As long as we can feel a little opportunity, we can absorb spiritual energy and break through. Although finding the opportunity for breakthrough is also a relatively difficult one."

At this point, Gu Yuan shook his head and said to the big man, "In any case, whether it's a spiritual cultivator or a physical cultivator, there's actually not much difference between the two. They all constantly break through their limits to enhance their strength. Cultivation is an act of defying the laws of nature. This is especially true for spiritual cultivators like us. Once our cultivation reaches a certain level, we need to transcend tribulations. The so-called transcendence of tribulations is to endure the punishment of heaven. Only cultivators who successfully survive the tribulation of heavenly thunder can move on to the next step. Otherwise, they will perish in the thunder and turn into ashes. However, physical cultivators like you don't face this risk. Generally speaking, both cultivation methods are difficult."

The big man nodded vigorously, obviously agreeing with Gu Yuan's words.

He smiled and said, "Actually, I'm quite envious of you spiritual practitioners. Every time I see you cultivators flying into the sky and into the earth, I actually want to soar in the sky like you. Especially when I see powerful people like you who can even step into the void, I'm really envious."

Gu Yuan smiled bitterly and said, "What you are talking about is an extremely powerful Spiritual Emperor. They can be said to be the top figures among our spiritual practitioners. Those who can reach this level are basically old monsters who have cultivated for countless years. Moreover, those who cultivate to this level, in addition to putting in a lot of effort, also need a certain level of talent. If the talent is not strong, it is impossible to cultivate to this level. What you have seen is just a small part of the spiritual practitioners. Among the spiritual practitioners, the real majority are still at the low end. The true peak practitioners are too rare, one in ten thousand. It is the same reason as what you said that it is difficult for physical practitioners to cultivate to the peak."

The big man nodded in agreement.

Everyone in the tavern was busy eating their own food and drinking their own wine, watching Gu Yuan and the ferocious-looking man chatting quite happily, and they were a little surprised.

This guy was really brave. Although they didn't know him, they could sense the terrifying aura emanating from him the moment he entered the tavern, so they didn't even dare to speak. But this guy actually took the initiative to strike up a conversation with him. Could it be that this guy, despite looking ordinary, was also a master?

"By the way, I haven't asked your name yet?" The big man looked at Gu Yuan and asked.

Gu Yuan smiled and said, "I am Yuan Gu."

Although he had changed his identity, Gu Yuan did not dare to reveal his real name in this ancient desert city.
