Chapter 8 Breakthrough Second Update Seeking Subscription
Lu Shao was secretly delighted in his heart, and continued to concentrate his spirit and energy, maintaining the best state of cultivation, continuing to refine the two energies of cold and heat within his body. The energy in his dantian, qihai, and brain sea were all steadily increasing.
The energy refined from the meridians, along the meridians, permeates the skin pores, and tempers the bones and muscles, making Lu Shiyong feel unspeakably comfortable.
Time passed again, and Lu Shaoyou felt that his body was already beginning to undergo changes.
"It's time to break through." Lu Shaoyou understood in his heart that after five days of cultivation, he was finally going to break through. Knowing his situation in the Lu family, Lu Shaoyou knew that he had to become a warrior in order to gradually solve all these problems. If he had enough strength now, no one would dare to bully him or his mother. Whether it was his past life or this life, strength was equally important, only the concept of strength was different between his past and present lives. Power and money were a large part of strength in his past life.
In this world, martial artists and spiritual practitioners are the ones with absolute power.
In just five days, Lu Shao Yu seemed to have broken through to the Martial Disciple level, but he didn't seem to feel that it was fast. Generally, even after five years, ordinary people would find it difficult to become a formal Martial Disciple. If Lu Shao Yu's thoughts were known by the countless people who were striving to reach the Martial Disciple level at this time, they would definitely be met with public outrage.
Even in the mind of Old Servant Nan, although it was said that Lu Shao had made such rapid progress because he had refined the two demon pellets in his body, this was still absolutely astonishing.
Time passed once again, and in the midst of it, two mysterious auras suddenly burst forth from Lu Shao's body. One aura guarded the Dan Tian Qi Hai area, while the other guarded the brow point. A faint halo surrounded Lu Shao's body, outlining an obscure Taiji Yin Yang diagram with these two auras as its focal points.
In this pattern, it seems to have stirred up a spatial airflow around it, and the surrounding area begins to generate wave-like winds. Lu Shao also seems to be immersed in a kind of mysterious state at this time.
"Hmm...".
These two strands of mysterious aura lingered outside Lu Shaoyou's body for a moment before dissipating and returning to his body. At the same time, an invisible aura formed around him, making his entire being feel much stronger.
In Lu Shaoyou's body, he could feel that the Dan Tian Qi Hai was suddenly expanding violently, and then it seemed like a huge force was squeezing out after that. The Dan Tian Qi Hai had greatly increased in size at the same time. In his own mind, it seemed as if there was also a surge of energy rising up. Immediately afterwards, Lu Shaoyou felt that his eyes were clear and his spirit was refreshed. This feeling was very mysterious.
"It's unbelievable." The old servant, Nan Shu, also looked at all of this with a surprised expression. In just five days, he had gone from being an ordinary person to this point, and it was something that no one would believe if they were told.
"Huuu..." Lu Shaoyou let out a turbid breath from his dantian and looked at the old servant Nan Shu, saying: "Nan Shu, I've broken through."
"It's just a breakthrough, what's there to be happy about? You still have a long way to go ahead of you." Old servant Nan Shu put away his smile and said sternly to Lu Shaoyou.
"Nan Shu, so I should be considered a formal warrior now, right?" Lu Shaoyou stuck out his tongue and asked, is this Nan Shu also dissatisfied with his own breakthrough being too slow?
"It's all right, I suppose it's a spirit too." said Old Nan softly.
"Isn't it said that becoming a spiritual being is extremely difficult?!" Lu Shao Yu was shocked, he himself was both a martial artist and a spiritual being, this was also too unbelievable, according to the memories in his mind, in this world, there seemed to be no such person.
"Hmph! It's much harder than you think, and it's even more difficult than what you imagined. I've secretly examined your physique before, and your original talent is actually mediocre. If you hadn't been set up by someone, cultivating as a martial artist wouldn't be too hard. However, cultivating as a spiritual practitioner is just a pipe dream."
The old servant, Nan Shu, glared at Lu Shaoyou for a moment before continuing: "However, you were lucky. The Huo Ling Fei Ying and the Han Shuang Bai Fu are both spiritual beasts, and coincidentally, they're both fire-type spiritual beasts. Water and fire counter each other, yin and yang complement each other. With someone having set up a formation inside your body, it just so happened to be a crucial point that helped you break through the formation. And unintentionally, it allowed you to possess a yin-yang body."
"But the Fire Spirit Flying Eagle and the Frost White Bat are both spiritual beasts, one is a fourth-stage spiritual beast and the other is a fifth-stage spiritual beast. The spiritual power contained in the Spiritual Elixir will greatly enhance your spiritual power. With the Yin-Yang Body, combined with the profoundness of the Yin-Yang Spiritual Martial Art, you have now become both a Spiritual Practitioner and a Martial Artist at the same time. If you lack any one of these, you won't have any chance."
"So it is." Lu Shaoyou thought to himself, it seems that surviving this great calamity really does bring good fortune afterwards.
"Alright, now that you've become a martial artist and a spiritual practitioner, this Yin Yang Spiritual Martial Formula can be considered as having passed the first step. I should also properly tell you about the advantages and disadvantages of this Yin Yang Spiritual Martial Formula." Old servant Nan Shu said to Lu Shaoyou.
"Is there still a flaw in this Yin Yang Spiritual Martial Formula?" Lu Shaoyou said.
"There are advantages and disadvantages, this Yin Yang Ling Wu Jue is a skill that I unintentionally obtained. This skill has three greatest benefits." The old servant Nan Shu looked at Lu Shaoyou and said: "The first benefit, the Yin Yang Ling Wu Jue is a dual cultivation skill of spiritual and martial arts, which is also the reason why you can cultivate both spiritual and martial arts. Your future strength will be stronger than others of the same level, it can be said that in the same level, your strength is invincible."
"This Yin Yang Spirit Fist also has a biggest weakness." Old servant Nan Shu continued.
Lu Shao Yu was taken aback and interrupted Nan Shu's words, asking: "Didn't you say there were three benefits? What are the others?"
"Are you going to say it or should I?" The old servant glared at Lu Shao and continued, "This Yin Yang Spiritual Martial Formula also has two drawbacks. The biggest drawback is that the speed of cultivation progress is extremely slow, compared to general martial arts, it's more than ten times slower. In other words, if you cultivate normally, in a hundred years, being able to break through to the level of a martial artist would already be a miracle."
"What, I can only cultivate to a martial artist in a hundred years..." The proud and arrogant Lu Shaoyou, who was just in his mind, was suddenly poured a basin of cold water, and his heart was suddenly chilled.
"What's the hurry, aren't there two more benefits?" Old servant Nan Shu gazed at Lu Shaoyou and said: "This Yin Yang Ling Wu Jue has two more benefits. You've already used one of them, which is to directly absorb spiritual pills and demon pills to let your own cultivation breakthrough."
He took a deep breath and the old servant said solemnly, "Even this Yin Yang Spiritual Martial Formula can directly devour the spiritual energy of the spiritualist and the true energy of the martial artist to break through."
"Able to directly absorb the spiritual energy of Spiritualists and the true energy of Warriors to break through..." Lu Shaoyou was shocked, this Yin Yang Spiritual Warrior Scripture is simply abnormal, just like the Star-Absorbing Technique in martial arts novels.
After his surprise had passed, Lu Shaoyou calmed down and said: "Uncle Nan, could it be that the Yin Yang Spiritual Martial Formula is an evil technique?"
"What's the difference between orthodox and evil, people distinguish between orthodox and evil, but there is no distinction in the method of cultivation. The spiritual and martial cultivators can obtain the demonic dan and spiritual dan from the bodies of demonic beasts and spiritual beasts, refine them into pills to increase their strength, isn't that just orthodox? It's just that the Yin Yang Spiritual Martial Technique is more advanced than theirs, but they directly absorb energy from the spiritual dan and demonic dan without needing refinement. They can even directly absorb energy from the bodies of spiritual and martial cultivators." Old servant Nan Shu said.
"It's not that the kung fu can be divided into good and evil, it's just that if a person's heart is good, then their kung fu is good. If a person's heart is evil, then no matter what kung fu they practice, it will also be evil." Lu Shaoyou said.
