Chapter 197 The way the fire breaks through!

This idea is very strange.

Lu Yuan frowned.

He did have some extraordinary life materials on hand, like fire lizards, unicorn horns (which he had secretly eaten), ice unicorn cores, and so on.

He had eaten these things.

But I have never felt the so-called "qi"! If it is so easy to obtain "martial arts", humans and the lizardmen of the Rize civilization should have discovered this method long ago.

"It should require the existence of a spirit, right? That is, the soul of the monster." The old cat suddenly said.

"Qi is the medium between the soul and the body. When a living being dies, the qi dissipates very quickly."

"Yes, we have a special profession of 'pre-soul' who can see the soul and seal it."

"In the beginning, everyone who wanted to obtain martial arts obtained it by swallowing souls."

"If a spirit possesses a person, it can produce a feeling of 'qi'." Shakaner said, "But the 'qi' of many monsters is often too violent. A slight impact can turn a person into a fool."

"So it's not easy to acquire martial arts skills. Nine times out of ten, you will fail."

Lu Yuan nodded slightly, as if he had roughly understood what was said.

In other words, one has to let the soul of an animal possess a human being in order to learn "martial arts".

"Isn't this allowing the souls of other animals to take over my body?" The more Lu Yuan thought about it, the more he couldn't stand it.

It is normal that humans have not discovered this method, which has a high mortality rate and is a bit perverted.

As for Lu Yuan and his group, the only person who can see souls is Miss Conch.

Lu Yuan himself could not see, nor could he influence the "spirit"... When his soul was out of his body, he could see the soul, but he did not have the ability to seal the soul.

"So how did you acquire martial arts skills? With such a high failure rate."

He Kaner said in a low voice, "It is indeed very difficult to learn martial arts at the beginning. You will lose your wisdom and become wild at any time."

"But later I discovered that the soul of a dead person can actually help learn martial arts..."

"And the success rate will be higher, and it can even be reused... Therefore, the souls of ancestors are considered the foundation of a village."

Lu Yuan was stunned and swallowed hard.

This method seems somewhat evil in the eyes of earthlings.

But for the people of the Saraki tribe, it is a very natural thing. After all, the social environment determines morality. If everyone does it, there is nothing to be taboo about.

Before they die, many elderly people will ask a "pre-soul teller" to separate their souls and perform a series of purifications to remove all their memories.

Then pass on your own "martial arts" to future generations.

In this way, the number of "martial arts" will increase.

This is also the main reason why this civilization developed the culture of "ancestor worship" - all the power is passed down from ancestors, so shouldn't we worship it? But Lu Yuan was silent as never before.

He finally understood why this civilization had not developed technology.

Because once this kind of thing happens, it is obvious that the strong will plunder the weak. If killing people can steal "martial arts", the huge benefits will obviously make people take risks.

This led to long-term internal friction within the civilization, making it difficult for real technology to emerge.

"Your civilization has a lot of wars, right?"

"Haha..." The people from Sarawak smiled awkwardly.

"It's a very interesting method." The old cat whispered, "But there should be a lot of technical details in the middle. Old Lu, are you going to learn the skills of form and energy now?"

"You are already full now. If you learn another one, won't your soul solidify again?"

Lu Yuan was silent for a moment, then asked, "Do you have any soul solidification phenomenon?"

"What does it mean... soul freezing?"

"It's like after learning a lot of martial arts, my strength suddenly increased a lot, and then I couldn't learn anymore."

"Yes, yes, yes! That's called the Innate Grandmaster!!"

Shakaner slapped his head and said with some envy: "After learning about six to nine martial arts, it is possible to become an innate grandmaster. At that time, your strength will be enhanced in all aspects!"

“There’s no learning after that.”

He sighed again: "Alas, the difficulty of learning each martial art is constantly increasing. Even with the inheritance of ancestors, it is still easy to be turned into an idiot by that anger."

"You must practice the 'Basic Body Refining Technique' to a certain level before you can learn one more martial art."

"It's difficult for a small tribe like ours. There hasn't been a congenitally strong person in hundreds of years. We can only learn what we have."

"And those with outstanding qualifications in the empire can also plan their martial arts to maximize their combat power and then break through to their innate abilities."

This conversation feels like a conversation between a chicken and a duck.

Lu Yuan believes in scientism, while the Shali civilization believes in pure empiricism. Terms like "innate" make people feel uneasy.

However, the overall information is consistent.

"After breaking through the innateness, how about continuing to learn?"

How could Shakaner answer such a tricky question? He thought for a long time with a bitter face, then shook his head: "The amount you can learn is determined by heaven. Once you break through your innate ability, you can no longer learn."

"I don't recall any exceptions being made."

This answer also fits Lu Yuan’s understanding.

"Wait... that's not it!" He stumbled over his words. "There are some simple martial arts that can be simulated using basic body-building techniques. But I've only heard about it. I don't know exactly how it works."

Lu Yuan and the old cat looked at each other.

According to the description of the people of Shali, the essence of the techniques of form and qi is the circulation of "qi".

Therefore, a high-level "Super Fire" can be used for simulation - because the Super Fire is a relatively advanced Qi skill.

But the level of this "simulation" requirement may be relatively high, and it is not something he can do now.

"This news is quite useful... What the Extraordinary Fire can do, the Eternal Fire should also be able to do."

He asked again: "Can you show me your martial arts skills?"

The militia captain nodded and stood up: "Harden!"

All the muscles in his body suddenly tensed up, and his whole body felt like a block of iron.

"Hardening" is a physical skill that can greatly improve the ability to resist attacks, including the resistance of internal organs.

Lu Yuan didn’t have the ability to see through things, and after looking for a long time he couldn’t figure out what was going on.

[I can... I can barely see the flow of air.] Hailuo suddenly said, [It's just a little complicated. I don't think you can simulate it now. I'll draw a picture for you.]

Lu Yuan complained in his heart: "You are really too omnipotent, aren't you?"

Turning his head, he asked, "So, what's going on with the Empire?"

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

"The Empire is a great country that has been passed down for thousands of years. Its full name is the Mavila Empire."

"There are only a few hundred thousand of us in the Saraki tribe. The empire may have a population of tens or even hundreds of millions."

"There are so many experts and strong men."

"Most of the knowledge is scraps that came from the empire."

"Alas, I wonder what rank the empire will have when we reach Pangu Continent..."

Lu Yuan pondered for a moment, but ultimately chose not to tell the truth...

It’s better to leave a memory for the other person.

After chatting for a few minutes, Shakaner handed over an ancient booklet with some words from an alien civilization written on it. It was gilded and looked very luxurious.

According to him, he won it in the Imperial Colosseum.

Talking about this, he looked very proud: "I killed a wolf scorpion!"

"Even if I die, this booklet alone will be enough to be enshrined in the ancestral temple."

There are also many paintings on the pages of the book, including the acupuncture points of the human body, some strange and bizarre symbols, and one of the pictures even depicts a small dot in the human brain, which is shining like the sun.

This is obviously the extraordinary fire seed! Lu Yuan's heart began to beat wildly. He had been looking for it for a long time and finally found it without any effort. This... this is actually the method of practicing the extraordinary fire seed?

He couldn't wait to turn to the next page, and sure enough, it described the breakthrough method of the extraordinary fire!

Intelligent life will always move in the direction that saves the most effort. The methods recorded in this booklet are also to open up a "lower universe".

Compared with the method of the Meda civilization, there are some minor differences in details.

But the general idea is the same.

Lu Yuan turned to the next page with trembling hands.

Sure enough, there is content!!

There were complicated pictures drawn on it and words written on it as big as ants.

That is... a way to break through further?! A way to break through from level three to level four!

Lu Yuan was stunned for a moment, and he couldn't help feeling a little confused and a little sad in his heart.

The so-called impermanence of fate is just like this.

He went from the Meda civilization, to the Rize civilization, and then to the Rize civilization's spaceship.

Then to the green civilization of the sky city...

I have been searching hard for a way to make a breakthrough, but to no avail...

Sometimes, he is really anxious.

He had already reached level three in the first thousand days, and now it's almost six thousand days and he's still at level three! But there's no point in being anxious, it just drains your energy.

Unexpectedly, in this remote corner, a very weak civilization that had not yet developed the rudiments of technology obtained it effortlessly!

Lu Yuan sighed and looked at the clouds in the sky. He always felt that his efforts were meaningless and not as good as luck...

He was just a smidgen away from becoming a "breakdown artist".

Fortunately, this information arrived not too late.

For him, it was just right.

Lu Yuan said in a heavy tone: "This book is very important to me. I owe you a favor. I need to borrow it for a while."

"If there's anything you need my help with, just let me know."

When everyone in the Sandi clan heard Lu Yuan finally say this, they all breathed a sigh of relief.

They gave so much, didn't they just want a promise from this great master?

Of course, a promise is just a promise. If you push for more, you will only bring trouble upon yourself.

So these people were also thinking about what kind of help they should ask Lu Yuan for.

It's to defeat a monster and find some water.

Or...anything else?
