Chen Ke was at a loss for words regarding this plot.
"Chief? Chief?" Karulu called out several times with a strange expression before Chen Ke finally snapped out of his daze and looked at him. "What's wrong?"
"Chief, what's wrong with you? You were lost in thought for a long time on the back of the divine lizard just now."
After Karuru finished speaking, the wise man Lacha also looked over, his eyes filled with inquiry.
Chen Ke strongly suspected that the wise man Lacha knew something; it was impossible for people from that era to have passed down no information at all.
"Nothing, I was just thinking about how to quickly break through to the first level of body refinement." Lin Yue had been trapped in the Wild Forest for a year. After a year, Lin Yue would be able to find an exit to return to the Divine Asia Dynasty. Chen Ke didn't want to wait for that maid's son to become a Martial Saint and then wreak havoc on the Wild Continent, so he couldn't let Lin Yue take those rare and precious materials back with her.
"So, Chief, have you come up with a solution?"
Chen Ke smiled and said, "Of course!" He had wasted his time because he didn't know that the Wilderness Continent was full of treasures. Now he had to make good use of it.
Even if he uses rare and precious materials, he still needs to produce several Grandmasters and Great Grandmasters, otherwise he won't have much prestige when he goes back to fight.
Since Chen Ke unlocked the hidden map, the information displayed when he touched what he previously thought were herbs has completely changed.
Previously thought to be a mosquito repellent, the grass called Longjie Fairy Grass was the main ingredient in the body-refining soup, but it has become extinct in the Shenya Dynasty.
Because of its potent medicinal properties, its scent also has insect-repelling effects. As a result, a group of savages pounded it into juice and used it as a mosquito repellent. Chen Ke had previously applied it to his arm and felt a burning sensation, thinking it was an allergic reaction. It seems that the medicinal properties were too potent and took effect directly.
And then there's the rare Lili Fruit Flower, which is the legendary Heartless Flower of the Shenya Dynasty. Eating it is said to broaden one's meridians and enhance one's physical talent!
No wonder these people who entered the wilderness are stronger with each generation. With such physical talent, they could easily become the personal disciples of the sect leader in any martial arts sect of the Shenya Dynasty.
Even that chubby little bug is a ginkgo beast that invigorates the spirit.
Not to mention the savage bull, which is highly regarded on the list of ferocious beasts. It is an excellent mount that martial saints would fight over if they encountered it. In the Shenya Dynasty, the importance of mounts is second only to the martial artist himself, which shows how rare they are.
Even knowing that eating it would greatly benefit him, the Martial Saint would not be willing to sacrifice his fighting power.
But in the wild continent, bulls are just wild beasts that can be found everywhere. As long as you can catch one, you can eat it to your heart's content!
Thinking of this, Chen Ke's eyes began to search around. Whenever he found a strangely shaped plant, he would touch it with his hand. He picked all the useful herbs and then, according to the information provided by the system, he would eat the ones that were edible and boil the ones that were not edible into soup for bathing.
So, during the rest of the journey, the soldiers were responsible for weight training to push their limits during the day, and at night they would soak in boiling hot water, screaming in terror. At first, they were all scalded like boiled shrimp, but after a period of training, they were able to soak in boiling water without batting an eye.
After more than ten days of repeated torment, 36 out of the 48 soldiers, plus Chen Ke, a total of 37 people, broke through the first stage of body refinement and achieved the formation of a membrane from their flesh.
At this level, the warriors' bodies have undergone tremendous changes. Their mind, soul, body, and matter have merged into a membrane. After the membrane is formed, they possess fist intent. The first level of fist intent involves muscles, and muscles possess the sense of smell.
During battle, his muscles swell with blood, and his blood energy envelops him, forming a domain within a one-meter radius. This domain possesses a variety of incredible abilities.
For example, Garulu had no fighting skills. When he threw a punch, his fist actually hit the agile grassland fox. That night, the Youqi tribe tasted the fiery red grassland fox for the first time.
The tribespeople, having never tasted it before, were excited and declared it an absolute delicacy.
But Chen Ke's assessment was: It's not as good as wild beef.
Since most of the warriors had broken through the first realm, Chen Ke began cultivating the second realm. As for those who had not yet broken through, they could only continue cultivating the first realm on their own.
Yudi was one of those who never broke through. Despite running desperately every day with crutches, he could never break through his limits because of his broken leg, even with the stimulation of herbal medicine.
These past few days, as he watched Chen Ke begin leading the warriors who had already broken through to the second realm of cultivation, he didn't show anything on his face, but he was starting to get very anxious inside.
Although Chen Ke was focused on cultivation, he also noticed Yudi's condition.
The second stage is to refine tendons and membranes, to refine tendons to the point of being like a bowstring, generating speed, and to make the body as sharp as a sword. Chen Ke then directly made the soldiers fight each other, punching each other hard, until they were covered in wounds, and then they were given another round of medicinal soup.
That night, with three days' journey remaining before reaching the fire-breathing rock eagle, Chen Ke found Yudi.
Yudi continued running relentlessly, but it was easy for him to fall while running with a cane, especially after he was exhausted.
Chen Ke waved to him.
Yudi stopped hesitantly, and as he limped over, his eyes were filled with despair.
In his view, Chen Ke was most likely there to persuade him to give up.
"Chief, I want to try again." Yudi said through gritted teeth, his expression strained. Although the request was ridiculous, he still wanted to try. He didn't want to cower in a corner like a piece of trash.
Chen Ke asked in surprise, "I didn't tell you not to try. I brought you here because I felt this method might not be suitable for you, and I wanted to ask if you would like to change to another cultivation method."
Yudi's eyes lit up instantly upon hearing this, and he said excitedly, "What other method? Chief, I'm willing!"
"This may be life-threatening, but people often break through their limits and overcome physical constraints when facing extreme danger."
"I'm not afraid! If I fail, I'll likely die a pathetic death anyway, so I might as well die a quick one."
Without hesitation, Chen Ke replied to Yudi's words, "Do you see that little lake over there? Let's go there now."
The two arrived at the lakeside together. Karuru and the others knew what the two were going to do, but they just stood there silently praying, afraid that too many people would disturb Yudi.
The lakes on the wasteland are like mirrors, reflecting the three moons in the sky on their surface, creating a strangely beautiful scene.
A cool breeze blows across the lake, carrying the damp scent of the water. The surrounding water plants sway in the lake like ghosts, and the timid can be scared half to death just by imagining what might be in the lake.
Yudi, however, jumped in without hesitation, took a deep breath, and sank into the water.
At first there were some ripples on the water, but as time passed, the place where Yudi sank became calm and still.
Chen Ke silently calculated the time in his mind.
Five minutes.
Ten minutes.
Fifteen minutes.
Twenty minutes!
