Martial arts cultivation is divided into four major realms: Yellow, Mysterious, Earth, and Heaven. Each major realm is further divided into four minor realms: early stage, middle stage, late stage, and Great Perfection.

The "early stage," "middle stage," "late stage," and "great perfection" of the Yellow Realm open up the meridians and infuse the body with true qi, making the physical body stronger and stronger. With each advancement of a small realm, the power increases significantly.

Most martial artists in the late Yellow Realm can cultivate "the strength of an ox," which is roughly equivalent to the power unleashed by an adult bull.

Wang Hao compared his own peak early stage of the Spiritual Awareness Realm with that of the peak early stage of the Yellow Realm. As for the difference in strength between the two, he still needed to find an opportunity to verify it.

"It seems that so-called martial artists are not much different from cultivators. It's just that what the earth contains is true qi, which is a lower grade than spiritual qi, and true qi can support martial artists' cultivation."

"But it cannot be used for cultivators to cultivate. Ten strands of true qi are only comparable to one wisp of spiritual qi. If I want to continue on the path of cultivators, then I must find a place with spiritual qi."

Shi Mengqi looked at Wang Hao, who was deep in thought with his brows furrowed, and then stopped talking. She sat quietly to the side, resting her chin on her hand, and just watched him quietly.

"How could Xiao Haozi's personality suddenly change so much? Could it be that the fall in the toilet before made him see the light?" Shi Mengqi wondered.

A surge of anger rose within her, and she decided to find an opportunity to teach Li Zhiheng a lesson. If she hadn't arrived in time, Wang Hao might have been in mortal danger.

However, at this moment, Wang Hao was using his experience from his previous life to deduce the cultivation method of this Nine Ancestors Heavenly King Scripture, and discovered that many parts of it were inextricably linked to cultivation.

"Hey, what are you two doing here? Did you have a fight? You even broke the door." Xia Xiaoyi walked in from outside. She was already a little drunk and started talking without thinking.

Shi Mengqi rolled her eyes at her and said, "If you've had too much to drink, go and rest. Be careful not to end up like Wang Wei and fall face-first to the ground."

"You think I'm as stupid as him, trying to bluff my way out?" Xia Xiaoyi swayed over and plopped down on the sofa, spilling some of the red wine from her hand.

She placed her long, beautiful legs on the coffee table in front of her, seemingly unconcerned about Wang Hao beside her or about revealing too much. Her fair skin appeared flawless under the light.

"I never expected Wang Hao to have cultivated the cultivation method to such a level. If Zhao Wenbo hadn't come this time, I don't know how long you would have kept it a secret."

Shi Mengqi took a blanket and covered her with it, then glared at Wang Hao, raised her little fist and gestured twice, telling him to watch his eyes.

Wang Hao coughed and looked away. At this moment, Xia Xiaoyi continued, "I agree to your relationship with Mengqi, but if you dare to betray her, I will definitely break your third leg!"

"Also, do you know about exploration organizations? They're the groups that use archaeology as a front to dig up tombs everywhere. Many methods of nurturing were discovered by them."

Wang Hao looked at Shi Mengqi and saw that she also looked blank. He then smiled and asked, "What kind of adventure organization? From what you're saying, it's just a bunch of tomb raiders, right?"

Xia Xiaoyi shook her head, her eyes regaining some clarity, and said, "The people in this organization all cultivate the Nourishing Method, so it can be said to be the representative organization of this method in the modern era."

"I heard that they recently unearthed a tomb containing amazing energy factors. After testing with instruments, it turned out to be of much higher quality than true qi."

"Since you want to take the path of nurturing, then I'll give you a hand. Keep this business card safe. Also, the Li family is very powerful and not someone you can mess with."

"If you want to protect Mengqi, you need to have great strength and a powerful organization willing to cultivate you. Tianxing is far more than you imagine."

Wang Hao took the business card from Xia Xiaoyi. It was a pure gold card with a soaring blue dragon engraved on it and an address written at the bottom.

Shi Mengqi also came over, craning her neck to look for a long time. The two of them didn't know why Xia Xiaoyi suddenly wanted to say these things, and were just about to ask her.

But they found that she had already fallen asleep, with soft snoring coming from her delicate nose.

This night was destined to be a sleepless one. The party continued until late into the night before gradually quieting down. Even Shi Mengqi, who had drunk quite a bit, fell into a deep sleep.

......

The next day, the students left one after another. Shi Mengqi, being a martial artist at the peak of the early Yellow Realm, woke up early in the morning and began her morning practice in the morning glow.

Wang Hao, meanwhile, sat cross-legged on the roof of the villa, concentrating his mind and calming his spirit. He believed that the day's plan should begin in the morning, as the true energy in the morning was the most abundant, comparable to spiritual energy, which could help him consolidate his realm.

At the same time, Wang Hao also tried to open up meridians in his body, following the route of the Nine Ancestors Heavenly King Scripture, but he added some of his own ideas. After all, with his experience, modifying the cultivation method was too easy.

In just one morning, he opened up four meridians. This speed of cultivation was simply astonishing. However, his foundation was too poor, otherwise he could have opened up even more.

"My physical body is too weak. No wonder they say I'm not suited for martial arts. I've already reached my limit by cultivating four meridians. It seems that if I want to improve my martial arts cultivation, I must first raise my cultivation level to Qi Refining."

"Once the marrow and bone marrow are cleansed, the physical body will undergo a qualitative leap. At the same time, one can also look inward and see what is in one's dantian."

Wang Hao slowly exhaled a breath of stale air, opened his eyes, and just then saw that Shi Mengqi had also finished her morning exercise. Immediately, a thought struck him, he chuckled, and stood up.

"Whoosh."

Like an eagle descending from the sky, Wang Hao leaped down from the rooftop, quickly extending his right hand and silently patting Shi Mengqi's right shoulder.

"Um?!"

Shi Mengqi's expression changed. She felt a strong gust of wind coming from behind her. Without thinking, she twisted her body, quickly raised her right hand, clenched her five fingers, and threw a punch.

"Bang!"

As their fists and palms collided, Shi Mengqi staggered back three steps, leaving several three-inch-deep footprints on the grass beneath her feet. Wang Hao, on the other hand, landed smoothly, as light as a swallow.

Upon recognizing Wang Hao as the attacker, Shi Mengqi immediately laughed and said, "Well, little Hao, you dare to ambush me. It seems I need to teach you a lesson."

As soon as she finished speaking, Shi Mengqi stomped her right foot forward, sending mud flying everywhere. She pounced like a nimble cheetah, covering nearly ten meters in the blink of an eye, and closed in on her.

"Good timing."

Excitement gleamed in Wang Hao's eyes. The limited spiritual energy within him began to circulate, and his right hand transformed from a fist into a palm.

"Bang!"

As their palms collided, a visible aura spread out from the center of their bodies, causing the grass beneath their feet to rustle.

Shi Mengqi felt a tremendous force strike her, a force comparable to that of a mid-stage Yellow Realm cultivator, causing her to involuntarily retreat backward.
