Immortal cultivation and martial cultivation are two different cultivation systems, but they lead to the same goal.

Whether one cultivates martial arts or immortality, the ultimate goal is to achieve eternal life.

In the process of achieving immortality, one strives to become faster, higher, and stronger.

After Li Mu began cultivating immortality, he learned and practiced body-refining techniques, but he never imagined that one day he would return to martial arts cultivation.

Because his meridians were unblocked and his physical strength was sufficient, he cultivated to the Bronze Skin Realm in just one day.

To accelerate his cultivation progress, he needs to use a body-refining elixir, the Golden Body Elixir.

Fortunately, the Golden Pearl World has a large quantity of Iron Orchid and Crimson Blood Grass, and the ring also contains enough auxiliary medicinal materials.

The rules of the Golden Pearl World are incomplete, it lacks spiritual energy, and it is impossible to cultivate immortality, but it has almost no impact on martial arts practitioners.

After a large basin of the Golden Body Elixir was prepared, Li Muguang entered the bathtub and submerged himself completely.

The Vajra Technique was activated, and the medicinal liquid was continuously absorbed by the body.

His cultivation progressed rapidly due to the stimulation of the Golden Body Liquid.

A day later, he came out of the bathtub, his whole body turned a dark reddish-black from the irritation of the medicine, and even his hair looked like it had been dyed.

Half a month later, the progress of cultivation slowed down, and his body returned to its normal skin color.

He brewed the Golden Body Elixir again and bathed in it to cultivate.

This continued until, a year later, it was felt that the medicinal effects of the Golden Body Elixir were not very strong.

His cultivation level had now reached the early stage of the Iron Bone Realm.

Physical strength has also been greatly enhanced, skin is firm, and muscle lines are well-proportioned throughout the body.

If he had faced Wu Daozi's drum under those circumstances, his spiritual injuries would have been much less severe.

.

After realizing that the medicinal soup was not working properly, he began to add a small amount of bitter 10-year powder when brewing the soup.

The elixir of immortality, prepared in this way, once again stimulates the body.

Two years later, after continuously increasing his suffering in the Golden Body Elixir for ten years and taking the Qi-Nourishing Pill, his cultivation reached the peak of the Iron Bone Realm.

He felt that he could not break through his cultivation level in a short period of time, nor could he accelerate his cultivation with the Golden Body Liquid.

Looking at the Iron Orchid, which had been mostly depleted, Li Mu smacked his lips, feeling a sense of regret that he hadn't had enough.

Cultivation knows no time.

He never expected that he would spend three whole years in the Golden Pearl World because of his practice of ancient martial arts.

If he hadn't encountered a bottleneck in his cultivation, he might still be immersed in selfless cultivation.

After three years of cultivation, his physical appearance remained largely unchanged, but his internal body underwent a tremendous transformation.

He truly reached the state of having a body of copper and iron, and even his internal organs became as firm as iron.

Now, even if he stands still, ordinary people can no longer hurt him with swords or knives.

Moreover, due to the improvement in martial arts cultivation, although the injuries to his soul did not heal at all, the strength of his soul increased considerably.

If his soul was a wall, it was previously knocked down.

Although the wall has not been repaired, the foundation supporting the wall has become much wider and more stable.

This example may not be accurate, but that's the general idea.

.

After leaving the Golden Pearl World, Li Mu immediately felt a large amount of spiritual energy in the mountains and forests being absorbed by his body.

For three years, he was unable to cultivate immortality, but he consumed a lot of spiritual energy.

In one day, they searched for several spiritual sources to replenish the spiritual energy that had been depleted in their bodies.

At this moment, he felt his spiritual sense had increased again, and even his dantian had become much more solid.

Before practicing both immortal and martial arts cultivation, he was a little worried about whether the two cultivation systems could be integrated, but now it seems there is no problem.

Perhaps it's because of practicing the Longevity Technique, but problems may arise in the future.

In any case, so far there have been no problems, which is a good thing, and there's no need to worry unnecessarily.

As he was contemplating what to do, he saw in his consciousness a dying man lying on the ground.

The man's hands and face were covered with leeches from the Dead Man's Mountain, and he was barely breathing.

When Li Mu arrived at the man's side, he felt a chill run down his spine at the sight of these disgusting leeches.

Not only that, this person was also holding a piece of jadeite rough in his arms, and his body was covered with even more leeches.

Controlling the fireball, he burned off the leeches on the man's hands and face.

This is a middle-aged man around forty years old, with dark skin. He is delirious due to excessive blood loss.

To alleviate the person's pain, but without burning their clothes.

Li Mu then channeled another wisp of spiritual energy into the middle-aged man's body, and then controlled the spiritual energy to circulate within him.

The leeches on the middle-aged man's body were killed instantly.

.

Just as Li Mu was wondering what to do with the middle-aged man, he spoke up.

"It's almost Chinese New Year, Feifei, but Daddy won't be coming back."

He spoke these words with great difficulty, in a very soft voice, as if he were talking in his sleep.

Li Mu didn't feel anything when he heard those words.

For cultivators, time is for cultivation, not for commemorating any particular day.

In an instant, he realized something.

This middle-aged man was still thinking about his family on his deathbed, but what about himself?

How is Hongluan? How is Second Uncle?

Since leaving Xiangzhou, he has done nothing but kill and cultivate. According to real time, two months have passed without him realizing it.

During this period, I did not contact anyone.

He wondered if the two people he cared about would be worried and anxious because he had disappeared without a trace.

Thinking of this, he took out a blood-clotting pill and put it into the middle-aged man's mouth.

Then, he carried the middle-aged man and stepped onto the flying sword.

After the flying sword took off, he flew in a certain direction based on his senses.

Twenty minutes later, he led the middle-aged man to a town.

Judging from the Chinese signs on the shops along the street, he felt good.

He dropped the disoriented middle-aged man off at the entrance of a clinic in town and then turned and left.

He had seen the jadeite rough stone being held by the middle-aged man; it was a piece with a green outer layer.

It's unclear whether the middle-aged man will sell the raw stone or cut it open himself after waking up.

If I were to solve it myself, I'd probably be utterly disappointed.

Having risked his life to bring back this stone, I wonder if this middle-aged man can withstand the blow.

.

Li Mu took out a map by the roadside, located the town, and then used stealth to step onto his flying sword.

He now cultivates both immortal and martial arts, and his martial arts cultivation has reached the peak of the Iron Bone Realm. He feels that he has about the strength of the sixth level of Qi Refining.

His cultivation and strength in immortality had not diminished, but due to the injury to his soul, his ability to use magic was not as good as before.

Overall, his strength has increased.

However, he was unable to fully control the flying sword, and its speed was much slower than when he arrived.

Two hours later, he appeared in Xiangzhou.

It wasn't until he landed that he remembered he had a cell phone, but he didn't use it much.

When Lin Hongluan received Li Mu's call, she was so happy she almost cried, her heart pounding.

She wasn't angry because Li Mu hadn't contacted her; she was worried that something might have happened to him.

She was genuinely scared after two months without any news or contact.

Especially with the Lunar New Year approaching, her longing for her husband has become even stronger.

"Li Mu, where are you? I need to see you!"

When the call connected, Lin Hongluan uttered those words with trembling lips.

She stammered as she spoke that short sentence.

Because those words contained so much of her longing.
