Su Xing sat cross-legged with his eyes slightly closed.

Feel and guide the energy in the body.

Just like bamboo shoots breaking through the soil after being watered by the spring rain.

The layer of energy armor covering Su Xing's body also protruded a few inches outward.

This progress is remarkable.

Originally, Su Xing could only barely control the energy wrapped around the surface of his skin.

But now Su Xing can not only entangle, but also feel the different and subtle changes in the Yuan Force.

The sudden surge in Su Xing's energy level lasted for several minutes before it slowly subsided.

Afterwards, Su Xing stretched out his hands, sensing the invisible power on his hands.

Like wind and like fire.

As invisible as the wind, and as destructive as fire.

Su Xing's heart moved, and a wisp of energy separated from his palm.

Then Su Xing guided the energy and flew towards a rock a few meters away.

After a few breaths, the rocks remained the same.

At this time, a breeze blew, and the entire rock that was more than one meter high was blown into fine sand.

"Tsk tsk... Using brute force to turn rocks into sand, this shouldn't be difficult to do..."

"But the power of Yuanli lies in its invisible nature!"

"If I were to silently inject my energy into the enemy's body during a battle, by the time the enemy could react, I'm afraid all of his internal organs would have been shaken to a pulp!"

The corners of Su Xing's mouth rose slightly, and he was obviously very satisfied with Yuanli's method of breaking the outside with the inside.

With this power, the body can be separated by several meters.

Su Xing could even assassinate a Martial Emperor-level warrior silently!

"Then next, try to wrap it around the spirit sword!"

Su Xing's heart moved, and the Mo Bing Sword appeared in his hand.

Then, Su Xing guided the energy to completely cover the Mo Bing sword in his hand.

The Mo Bing Sword vibrated slightly, making soft humming sounds.

It seemed to be enjoying the touch of Yuanli.

Su Xing felt the strength of the Mo Bing Sword a little.

The toughness is twice as strong, and even the spirituality in the sword is more abundant.

If the original Mo Bing Sword was a legendary weapon, then after being covered with Yuanli, it might be able to reach a level beyond the legendary level in a short period of time! When Su Xing took back the Yuanli, the Mo Bing Sword returned to its original state.

But Su Xing could feel that in just a few minutes, the Mo Bing Sword had an imperceptible improvement.

"So that's how it is. Yuanli can be soft or hard..."

"Using the Yuan force to nourish the magic weapon, thus turning it into a Yuan weapon... is the process of using the Yuan force to transform the magic weapon!"

"The stronger the cultivator's energy is, and the longer the energy is entangled, the more the magic weapon will be improved!"

Su Xing estimated that the natal magic weapons of those body-refining cultivators probably had to be nurtured by Yuanli for hundreds or even thousands of years before they could truly become Yuan weapons that far surpassed ordinary magic weapons.

After Su Xing took back his energy, the spirit sword in his hand emitted a series of soft hums.

Su Xing could feel that Mo Bingjian seemed to be expressing his dissatisfaction, as if he wanted more energy.

"Don't worry, when my energy becomes stronger... I will feed you every day!"

Su Xing whispered a few words to Mo Bingjian, and Mo Bingjian stopped protesting.

"Tsk tsk, after this simulation, my strength has probably increased by at least 50%!"

"If you want to make another breakthrough, you must consider breaking through the Void Realm..."

Su Xing murmured a few words and looked towards the simulation panel.

On the afternoon of July 29, 2024, in the new era, Su Xing started a new round of simulation on time.

"Start simulation!"

[Ding! This simulation consumed 4,700 energy points, the remaining energy is 15.04 million points, and there are no remaining simulation times. ]

[Simulation starts! ]

[It costs 1000 energy points to extract green talent, 10,000 energy points to extract blue talent, and 100,000 energy points to extract purple talent. Do you want to extract? ]

"Extract purple talent!"

Su Xing muttered to himself.

[Congratulations on obtaining the purple talent: Animal Friend! ]

[Friend of Animals]: Purple talent. You have an amazing attraction and affinity for all animals and spiritual beasts. It is easy for you to attract the favor of animals and spiritual beasts. They will have a kind of trust in you from the bottom of their hearts. At the same time, you can also understand the language of any animal or spiritual beast.

"Hmm? This talent... seems to be an advanced version of the level 10 beast language I drew before?"

Su Xing raised his eyebrows. He had some impression of the talent of level 10 beast language.

The first time he was captured by Zong Laogou, he was almost turned into a human pill.

At that time, Zong Laogou took out a very strange poisonous insect.

If Su Xing had not been able to understand the language of the insect, he would probably have been tortured by it.

"Compared to the tenth-level animal language talent, the purple talent Animal Friendship... seems to have an additional ability to win the favor of animals?"

"I just don't know how effective this is in winning people's favor?"

Su Xing was thoughtful.

The talent of being able to gain the favor of spirit beasts is indeed great. If you have the opportunity to enter the world of immortal cultivation in the future, you may be able to contract a spirit pet.

If the descendants of Shennong are plant-friendly, then the friends of animals are animal-friendly; the two belong to the same category.

"But... my most urgent task now is to further improve my cultivation!"

"Friends of Animals can directly replace the tenth-level animal language talent... When the time is right, I can extract it and save the money for a talent expansion. It's not bad!"

Su Xing murmured.

Afterwards, Su Xing set a target plan for this simulation.

"It would be great if I could improve my mastery of Yuanli to a higher level..."

"Of course, in addition to the energy, you also need to start learning the protective energy!"

"After that, I will ask about the secret of breaking through the Return to Void Realm and find the place of limit..."

Su Xing closed his eyes and went over these goals in his mind, then officially began the simulation.

[In the blessed land of Lingtian, you realize that you are simulating. ]

[Suddenly, the spirit chickens in the distance chirped and looked at you with deep admiration.]

[You can hear them calling you Brother Ji all the time, as if you are their boss.]

[You see, this is the gift of animal friendliness at work.]

[At this time, you feel that the soil under your feet is a little strange. It turns out that the spirit earthworms you planted before are expressing their love for you. ]

[You appeased the spirit earthworms, hoping that they would evolve into earth dragons soon.]

[After hearing this, the spirit earthworm immediately became full of energy and went back into the spirit field, diligently fertilizing and loosening the soil.]

[After your energy reaches the level of external release, you can start practicing the body-protecting energy. ]

[So for the next period of time, you waited for news from Jin Congxue while trying to cultivate your body-protecting Qi.]

[The difficulty of practicing the body-protecting Qi is to keep the Yuanli one foot away from the skin surface, which is about thirty centimeters.]

[You have already achieved this point, so you try to control the energy within three feet of your skin.]

[After that, you follow the method of body-protecting Qi and slowly shape your energy into a fully surrounding shield to protect you.]

[After practicing the whole process, the loss of energy is huge. 】

[You can only practice for two hours a day, and then your energy will be exhausted. You must wait for it to recover.]

[But you are pleasantly surprised to find that when practicing the body-protecting Qi power, you can squeeze the power in your body to the maximum extent, and the effect is even faster than before. ]

[One month later, Jin Congxue contacts you and tells you that the mining area dungeon has been finalized, and the Tarot Club now has four more mining area dungeons.]

[You were delighted after hearing this, but you remained cautious and stayed in Kyoto to see how the Daxia military would react.]

[During this period, you took some time to go to the Luotian Conference instance. ]

[After obtaining the consent of the dungeon administrator, you have successfully entered the Luotian Conference dungeon. ]

When Su Xing saw this, he thought to himself:

"Use the immersive simulation feature! Lasts 24 hours!"

[Ding, you have successfully used the immersive simulation function, spending 2.4 million energy points, and the remaining energy is 12.54 million points. ]

As the simulator's prompt sounded, Su Xing's vision changed.

The next second, Su Xing appeared in the familiar hall.

"Good disciple, go to the back mountain and call your uncle Shennong to come and participate in the Luotian Conference..."

Niu Rulie was still standing in front of Su Xing and giving instructions to him.

"Master, there is one thing I don't understand, about the matter of nurturing a spiritual weapon into a Yuan weapon..."

Niu Rulie nodded slightly after hearing this, and did not urge Su Xing to go to the back mountain, but said:

"You are the most insightful disciple I have ever taught. Before you are a hundred years old, you have already cultivated your energy to the third stage of external release!"

"Even when I was your master, I was far inferior to you!"

"Do you know how many levels of weapons our monks have?"

Without waiting for Su Xing to answer, Niu Rulie continued:

"The magic weapons of cultivators, from low to high talisman weapons, magic weapons, treasure weapons, spiritual weapons... and even the legendary immortal weapons!"

"Generally speaking, when a magic weapon is initially forged, its foundation and material have already determined the level of the magic weapon, and it is difficult to change it later."

"But the Yuanqi of us body cultivators are different!"

"For a cultivator who cultivates the body, what he cultivates is called the flesh body or the Yuanqi!"

"As long as you nurture the Yuanqi long enough, even the lowest-level talisman weapon can become an existence that surpasses the immortal weapon!"

After saying that, Niu Rulie roared, and an illusory, scarlet axe of creation appeared behind Niu Rulie.

Niu Rulie stretched out his hand and grabbed it, and the illusory giant axe turned into a solid entity and appeared in Niu Rulie's hand.

The giant axe was at least ten feet long, red in color, and exuded a strong smell of blood and the burning sensation of flames.

Su Xing was three meters away from the huge red axe, but he could still feel oppressed by a powerful aura, and even felt like he couldn't breathe.

Niu Rulie danced with his giant axe in front of Su Xing. The powerful aura that burst out was so strong that even the birds outside the hall fell from the sky.

A few minutes later, Niu Rulie put away the giant axe and shouted softly.

The giant axe turned into illusion again and disappeared into Niu Rulie's body.

Su Xing was so shocked by this scene that he was speechless.

Niu Rulie looked at Su Xing proudly and said, "Good disciple, this move of yours is not bad, right?"

"Just now, that was my master's original weapon, the Axe of Creation!"

“Hahaha… Of course, when I named this axe, I just wanted it to sound more domineering!”

After a pause, Niu Rulie's eyes flashed with a hint of reminiscence, and he said:

"Master, do you still remember when you first joined Luo Tian Sect? That was more than 2,000 years ago, right?"

"At that time, I was still a young cultivator in the Qi Refining Stage... Later, I accidentally turned to the Body Refining Sect..."

"After I realized the power of the essence, I nurtured this axe that I used to chop wood every day."

"Yes, you heard it right! This axe was originally just an ordinary axe for chopping wood! But now, it is comparable to a fairy weapon!"

Speaking of this, Niu Rulie had a hint of pride on his face.

"And all this is due to the power of Yuanli!"

"The wonders of Yuan power are endless, and its uses are no less than those of spiritual power... As long as you have enough patience to nurture it, this Yuan instrument will become more and more powerful."

"Master, I have been nurturing this axe for more than 1,800 years, right?"

Su Xing was extremely shocked when he heard this.

Recalling the strong murderous aura and smell of blood on the red giant axe just now, and the raging fire that seemed to be able to burn everything in the world.

That terrifying aura that made the Divine Transformation cultivators almost unable to look at it...

Two thousand years ago, this axe was just an ordinary axe for chopping wood? The difference is really shocking! As if seeing Su Xing's shock, Niu Rulie explained:

"The nourishment of the essence is all about the use of a word!"

"Ordinary magic weapons, no matter how high the material is, will always be damaged after years of erosion and countless battles, and the quality will decline..."

"But the components are different!"

"When we are body cultivators, our energy is wrapped around our artifacts during combat. This acts as a buffer for our artifacts. The collision between ordinary weapons cannot damage our artifacts at all."

"In addition to this, daily maintenance and cleaning, and even the affection towards the artifact, can also make the artifact stronger and stronger..."

"If you are stronger, you will be able to take the Yuanqi into your body. Then, by nourishing it with your own blood and Yuanli, it will become your own Yuanqi. It will be the Yuanqi in your hand, and it will be no less powerful than any magic weapon!"

Su Xing could see that Niu Rulie looked very proud when he said this.

Indeed, to nurture an ordinary weapon into such a terrifying and amazing weapon is something that should make people proud!

Su Xing let out a long sigh, then bowed to Niu Rulie and said:

"Thank you for your guidance, Master!"

Niu Rulie smiled and nodded after hearing this, saying, "Okay, go find your Uncle Shennong!"

Su Xing nodded when he heard that, and his heart was still shocked by the huge red axe.

When he was almost at the back mountain, he suddenly remembered that he had forgotten to ask how to break through to the Return to Void Stage.

"Well, let's ask Uncle Shennong, it should be possible..."

Su Xing thought so and soon came to the back mountain.

Shennong Youtian still looks like an old farmer in the mountains, tending to his spiritual plants in the spiritual field.

After carefully loosening the soil and fertilizing a seed,

Shennong Youtian stood up, looked at Su Xing, and said with a smile:

"Brother Luo, are you calling me to go to the Luotian Conference?"

After hearing this, Su Xing nodded slightly and said, "Yes, Uncle Shennong!"

Shennong Youtian walked towards Su Xing with a smile and said:

"My nephew's aura is getting stronger and stronger. I'm afraid that both the body and qi training have reached the end. Is he about to enter the void realm?"

Su Xing nodded slightly after hearing this, and took the opportunity to say, "Uncle Shennong, I came here this time just to ask you, how do I enter the Return to Void Realm?"

After listening to this, Uncle Shennong nodded slightly and said, "After reaching this level, you should indeed know some things about the Return to Void Realm..."

"The so-called refining essence into qi, refining qi into spirit, refining spirit into emptiness... this is the way of cultivation for me, a Qi-refining cultivator in the early stage."

"Once you enter the Return to the Void realm, you can restrain your spiritual consciousness and keep your mind within your physical body. You can keep your mind within to protect your physical body from aging and indestruction... or you can let your spiritual consciousness wander outside and enter the realm of nothingness!"

Su Xing frowned slightly after hearing this and asked in confusion:

"The Void Realm? What is that place?"

After hearing this, Uncle Shennong asked, "Nephew, do you know what it means to have been in spiritual contact for a long time?"

"For mortals, the so-called long-standing spiritual friendship means that they have heard of each other's reputation and have long wanted to meet each other, but it is a pity that they have just met each other."

"As for the cultivators in the Return to Void Realm, it means that the two people's consciousnesses have already sensed each other in the realm of nothingness, but have not met in the real world."

Su Xing frowned even more after hearing this. It sounded like this Void Realm was a place that only cultivators above the Return to Void stage could reach with their spiritual consciousness? As expected, Shennong Youtian said, "When your Yuan Shen becomes strong enough, you will be able to sense the call of the Void Realm. Once you are able to enter the Void Realm, your body and soul will be sublimated..."

"After you survive the Void God Thunder, you will become a cultivator in the Return to Void Realm!"

Su Xing frowned after hearing this, the realm of nothingness, the divine thunder of nothingness.

These things seem to only exist in the world of immortal cultivation...

However, no cultivators were born in the world where Su Xing was, so he was not sure whether this void world still existed.

"Could it be that... the road ahead is blocked?"

Su Xing was unwilling to give in, and asked:

"Uncle Master, if we don't enter the Void Realm, is it possible to break through to become a Return to Void cultivator?"

After hearing Su Xing's words, Shennong Youtian laughed and said:

"What are you talking about, nephew? How can you become a cultivator in the Return to Void Realm without entering the Void Realm..."

Shennong Youtian suddenly stopped talking, as if he remembered something, and said:

"There is indeed such a rumor... It is said that hundreds of thousands of years ago, a Divine Transformation cultivator mistakenly entered the land of the outer world..."

"The so-called heaven beyond heaven is a world without the void."

“That cultivator has been in the Heavenly World for thousands of years. Even though he has reached the Perfect Spiritual Transformation stage and has full spiritual awareness, he still cannot sense the Void Realm…”

“But that Divine Transformation cultivator is also amazing. He is a genius in alchemy. Although he is in the realm of nothingness, he has refined a kind of elixir…”

"It's called Lianxu Pill!"

After a pause, Shennong Youtian continued:

"The main purpose of Lianxu Pill now is to help the cultivators who have reached the Great Perfection of the Spiritualization Stage to ensure that their primordial spirits are not destroyed after entering the Void Realm, and to make pills that can withstand the Void Divine Thunder."

“But when it was first created, the Lianxu Pill was rumored to be a pill that could skip the Sensing Void Realm and directly enter the Return to Void Stage.”

"Of course... this is just a rumor. Whether it is true or not, it has been so long that Uncle Master doesn't know."

After hearing this, Su Xing secretly took note. No matter whether it was true or not, Su Xing had to give it a try.

If there really is no void in the real world, then Su Xing would be doomed, right?

So Su Xing said:

"Uncle, this recipe for refining the Void Pill... ahem, can I borrow it for my nephew to see?"
