Chapter 412 The warrior’s dilemma!

Xin Zhen nodded and said, "That's right. We can defeat demons with physical bodies by using speed, strength, and skills, but what about ghosts, foxes, and the like that have magical powers and no physical bodies?"

Yu Boyi nodded and said, "Since Brother Xin doesn't know how to deal with these aliens, I guess you don't know the realm of martial artists, right?"

Xin Zhen nodded and said, "Please give me some advice, Brother Yu."

Yu Boyi smiled and said, “It can’t be called instruction, this is the consensus among martial artists.

The realm of a warrior is divided into five major realms, namely: the three realms of body refining, the three realms of qi refining, the three realms of spirit refining, the realm of cessation, and the realm of martial god.

There are three small realms in body refining, namely the mud embryo realm, the wood embryo realm and the mercury realm.

The so-called clay embryo state implies being rough and unbearable. When it reaches the peak of perfection, one is like a clay Buddha, with the energy sinking into the dantian, standing still like a mountain.

The Wood Body Realm progresses from coarse to fine, the Great Accomplishment Realm, with skin texture as precise as an engraved inscription, widening the meridians, strengthening the bones, and dripping water wearing away a stone.

I am not talented, but after twenty years of hard practice, I have finally reached this level.

As for the mercury realm, the blood is as thick as mercury, but lighter in weight, and the qi and blood are condensed and united. To break through the threshold at this time, one needs to survive a catastrophe, which is called "the clay bodhisattva crossing the river."

Just now, I heard the blood flowing from Brother Xin's body. It was as thick as mercury, and the blood and qi were condensed and united. I think he has reached the mercury realm. Brother Xin looks to be only 20 years old, but he has already reached this realm. The future is promising!"

Talking about this, Yu Boyi looked at Xin Zhen with great admiration.

Xin Zhen did not tell Yu Boyi that he was not yet sixteen years old, so as to avoid Yu Boyi feeling ashamed. Yu Boyi should be in his thirties, but his level was not as good as his. It would be embarrassing to tell him about it.

Xin Zhen said: "Brother Yu, you are too polite. I just had some adventures, which are not worth mentioning. What about the realm behind it?"

Yu Boyi nodded, thinking that it was natural. If he had not had a fortuitous encounter and had broken through to the Mercury Mirror at the age of twenty, how would all the martial artists in the world feel?

Yu Boyi calmed down and said, "The three realms of Qi Refining refer to the Heroic Soul Realm, the Heroic Spirit Realm, and finally the Martial Courage Realm."

Xin Zhen was invigorated upon hearing this and said, "I guess a warrior's breakthrough to the extraordinary realm begins in these three realms?"

Yu Boyi nodded and smiled, "That's right, once you break through to the Heroic Soul Realm, you will be able to see yin and yang, ghosts and other invisible things will not be able to hide in front of the Heroic Soul Realm warriors, and you will also have the ability to use the real to defeat the virtual. To a certain extent, starting from the Heroic Soul Realm, warriors have their own magical powers.

The Heroic Soul Realm strengthens a warrior's soul, the Heroic Soul Realm strengthens a warrior's spirit, and the Courageous Martial Realm allows a warrior to possess an indomitable courage. Once a warrior has courage, all the spiritual powers of evil spirits and monsters will no longer be able to seduce him."

After hearing this, Xin Zhen couldn't help but feel ecstatic. It seems that the path of a warrior is also extremely broad. It is not like what he thought before. A warrior is just a strong man in the mortal world. It seems that if he practices to a certain level, he will also have the ability to reach the sky and penetrate the earth!

As expected, Yu Boyi continued, "In fact, the most powerful warrior I have ever seen stopped at the Wudan realm. I have only heard of the realms above that, but every time I think of them, I can't help but be fascinated."

Yu Boyi took a deep breath, with yearning in his eyes and a somewhat excited tone, and said: "There are three minor realms in the spiritual cultivation, among which the Golden Body Realm is also known as the minor master realm. The best in this realm can even cultivate what the Buddhists call the invincible body of diamond, or what the Taoists call the body of the immaculate colored glaze or the Daluo Jinxian.

The next realm is called the Yuhua realm. When one reaches this realm, he is no different from a god. Some people also call it a land god. Those who reach this realm can hover in the air and fly with the wind. Therefore, it is also called the "far travel realm".

The last of the three realms of spiritual training is called the Mountain Top Realm. Martial artists who have reached this realm are known as "Grandmasters of the End". The so-called end is used to describe that the martial arts path has reached its end.

Although he is not able to move mountains and seas, he can still break city walls with his fists and split rivers with his palms. He has a strong aura that makes him immune to all evil and keeps thousands of troops at bay.

His body is extremely strong, even stronger than the body of a Buddhist arhat. Even a powerful monk will die if he is approached within ten feet, unless he has a top-grade protective magic weapon or higher! "

Yu Boyi stopped talking here and just shook his head in admiration.

Xin Zhen was excited when he heard this and asked quickly, "What about the End Realm and the Martial God Realm?"

Yu Boyi smiled and said, "Those two realms are just legends. It seems that no one has cultivated to those two realms. A warrior of my level doesn't even know if there are any smaller realms inside. As for what abilities one would have when reaching those realms, I don't know either. But I think it would be on par with the gods and Buddhas in the sky, right?"

Xin Zhen couldn't help but nod, his heart was surging. Yu Boyi saw Xin Zhen's excitement and couldn't help but say, "Brother Xin, if you have the chance, change to Taoism. This world is not for warriors."

Xin Zhen was stunned for a moment and asked, "Brother Yu, what do you mean?"

Yu Boyi smiled bitterly and said, "It is too difficult for a warrior to practice martial arts. Look, I am over 30 years old. After practicing martial arts for 20 years, I am still only a second-level warrior. I can only deal with some small demons and ghosts.

A Taoist has practiced for twenty years, so it is no problem for him to slay demons and monsters. For us warriors, it is a life-or-death struggle. So, if possible, we should practice Taoism. The path of a warrior is not easy to walk!"

Xin Zhen asked seriously, "Then why did you choose the path of a warrior, Brother Yu?"

Yu Boyi was silent for a while, and said: "At the beginning, I just had no choice. I am just an ordinary person, and my master's ability to teach me martial arts is already my greatest opportunity.

But later on, I fell in love with the path of a warrior. Although it is a little difficult now, once you enter the Qi training realm, a warrior can wield a sword and mount a horse, hehe."

Yu Boyi raised a finger and said with a smile: "It only takes ten years for me to enter the Qi Training Realm. A warrior in the Qi Training Realm would be a headache for even a Foundation Establishment Master."

Xin Zhen stared at Yu Boyi, who still smiled, but as time went on, his expression gradually became bitter, and he sighed, "Well, it's not that easy to enter the Qi training realm, you should change to practicing Taoism."

Xin Zhen frowned. That was not what he meant. What he wanted to say was: It takes thirty years to enter the Qi training stage. The road of a warrior is indeed extremely difficult. Unexpectedly, Yu Boyi was still forcing a smile to encourage himself.

Xin Zhen nodded, then turned to the issue that concerned him most, saying, "I have already reached the Mercury Realm. How can I break through to the Heroic Soul Realm next?"

Hearing Xin Zhen's question, Yu Boyi frowned slightly and said, "I haven't reached this realm yet, so I can't tell you in detail. My master told me that after reaching the Great Perfection of the Mercury Mirror, I should start to temper my soul. When you can see your soul, it means you have broken through to this realm."

"To temper the spirit and soul? Is there any special method for that?" Xin Zhen asked.

Yu Boyi hesitated for a moment and said, "Yes, there is, but it is not convenient to pass on the skills of our sect to outsiders."

Xin Zhen smiled and nodded, "I understand. I have benefited a lot from you telling me these things."

Yu Boyi smiled awkwardly and said, "It's nothing. You can ask other warriors about these things. These things are not secrets."

He felt a little embarrassed that Xin Zhen stayed to fight the enemy with him. Although he came to ask questions, what he said was just common sense.

Xin Zhen said sincerely, "I appreciate your kindness, brother Yu, and I respect and understand the rule that the technique should not be passed on to outsiders. Please don't feel embarrassed, brother Yu."

Yu Boyi heaved a sigh of relief and said, "I'm glad you understand. Otherwise, I would really feel bad."

Xin Zhen laughed. This Yu Boyi was truly a man of character. Others would have blamed him for being rude, but Yu Boyi felt embarrassed instead. This showed that he was truly an upright and righteous gentleman.

A gentleman can be deceived by tricks, but Xin Zhen is unwilling to be such a villain.

Xin Zhen glanced at the servant who looked depressed, and then said, "Brother Yu, let's go outside and talk."

Yu Boyi knew that Xin Zhen had something important to say, so he followed him outside to a deserted place.

Xin Zhen said solemnly, "Brother Yu, I understand that your sect's skills are not suitable for passing on to others. I have a set of skills here. Brother Yu can practice it first. If you find it useful, you can contact your master by sending a letter. I need the skills to enter the Heroic Soul. This is a deal."

Yu Boyi said quickly: "Brother Xin, let's not do that. Our sect's skills really can't be passed on to outsiders."

Xin Zhen smiled and said, "Okay, then I'll give it to Brother Yu, but Brother Yu must promise me not to tell anyone else."

Yu Boyi waved his hand and said, "No, no, Brother Xin, I won't snoop on my friend's things."

Xin Zhen smiled lightly and said, "My technique is to assist in the cultivation of inner strength. Brother Yu, if you practice this technique, it can increase the speed of your inner strength cultivation by at least several times."

Xin Zhen didn't know the other party's sect or mental skills, so his statement was quite conservative.

However, Yu Boyi also felt that it was ridiculous and said with a smile: "Brother Xin, please stop joking. Let's go in. I will tell you some techniques on how to slay demons and monsters in the Body Refining Realm..."

Xin Zhen smiled and said, "Brother Yu, this technique is my adventure."

Yu Boyi's expression suddenly became solemn. Xin Zhen had reached the Mercury Realm at the young age of 20. Such progress was so shocking. Yu Boyi originally thought that Xin Zhen relied on some powerful medicine or some other miracle, but he didn't expect that it was a method to assist in the cultivation of internal strength. If this was true, once it spread out, it would surely shock the entire cultivation world!
You know, once a warrior enters the fourth realm, his combat effectiveness will skyrocket, but people who are interested in practicing cultivation generally do not choose the path of a warrior, because it is too difficult for a warrior to advance, and the lifespan of mortals is too short. Many of them have basically exhausted their lifespan before they have even reached a certain realm.

If there really is such a martial art that can increase a martial artist's training speed several times... let alone several times, even if it is just one time, then the martial arts way will shine!
Yu Boyi stared at Xin Zhen and said, "Brother Xin, this is serious!"

Xin Zhen smiled and slowly recited the Yijing bone strengthening chapter, four or five times in a row. When he read it for the sixth time, Yu Boyi nodded and said, "That's enough."

Xin Zhen said, "You practice first and see how effective it is. Whether or not to trade and how much to trade are all up to you to decide. I will take whatever you are willing to give me. If you are not willing to give, Brother Yu can practice this technique yourself and do not disclose it. I believe in Brother Yu's character."

Having said this, Xin Zhen went into the room first. Yu Boyi hesitated and followed him in. Because there were servants around, the two of them tacitly put the matter aside and started talking about the techniques of how to slay demons and eliminate evil in the Body Refining Realm.

"... Actually, it's not really a skill. There's nothing much to say about dealing with a physical entity. If you have a sword, use it. If you have a precious sword, it's even better. If you can get some Taoist treasures blessed by Taoist magic, it will be even more powerful.

If you only have an ordinary sword, you can use the blood of a warrior to paint the sword. A warrior has strong blood and qi, and the blood of a warrior has the effect of warding off evil spirits and destroying demons. Some demons have bodies as hard as iron or stone, but with the blood of a warrior, their defense can be broken.

As for dealing with ghosts and monsters without physical form, one can use abundant blood to disperse their coldness, or use swords smeared with warriors' blood to kill them.

...In fact, in the final analysis, these so-called skills are all accomplished by using the blood and energy of the warrior. We must make good use of the blood and energy of the warrior!"

Later on, Yu Boyi made a summary.

Xin Zhen listened for a while, frowned slightly, and said, "I heard that martial arts have attributes, some are yin and some are yang, and some are even poisonous. Are these useless against ghosts?"

Yu Boyi smiled and said, "Of course it is useful, but there are not many internal skills with attributes in the world. Even if there are skills with attributes, it is basically impossible to manifest the attributes in the body refining realm. To have yin and yang attributes, it is necessary to have internal strength that can communicate with heaven and earth. The minimum standard for communicating with heaven and earth is a martial artist in the fourth realm."

Xin Zhen raised his eyebrows slightly: Only after reaching the Heroic Soul Realm can the internal skills have attributes?
Then my Pure Yang Wuji Gong combines yin and yang. If I want it to have yang attributes, I will have yang attributes. If I want it to have yin attributes, I will have yin attributes. What does this mean?
There is also the Tianshan Six Yang Palm, which can be both yin and yang. What is it?
But I won't say more about this.

Xin Zhen learned from Yu Boyi how difficult the path of a martial artist is, and therefore knew how powerful the Yi Jin Jiangu Chapter was. The fact that he threw out this Yi Jin Jiangu Chapter was already shocking, and it let people know that his mental method had yin and yang attributes in the body refining realm. As for what would happen after that, whether it would be good or bad, it was unknown.

Xin Zhen knew that human nature is greedy, and Yu Boyi might not be greedy, but what about Yu Boyi’s master?
Who can guarantee that they don’t have bad intentions?
Xin Zhen has never been afraid to assume the worst of others. It is precisely because of this that he has always had a good ending after several lifetimes, and this is not entirely due to his peerless martial arts.
