Li Jie's eyes were nearly popping out of his socket from reading the manual, as he couldn't comprehend how this senior Xing ZhenKang, who had created this body refinement technique to make use of his own bloodline in such a unique way that would be a source of envy for every living being no matter their cultivation level.
Unlike his own talents and experiments, the "PERFECT PHYSIQUE REFINEMENT", which was created by Xing ZhenKang, could not achieve feats similar to his own, but the body refinement technique deserved the title it was granted, it granted a human being the perfect physique upon practicing it.
According to what Li Jie read next, Xing ZhenKang created the "PERFECT PHYSIQUE REFINEMENT" technique from one of his experiments in which he kept comparing the physiques of humans and beasts.
as he felt that this was such an unfair advantage, in which the beasts had higher amounts of bloodline energy compared to a human being of the same cultivation stage.
At first, he experimented by absorbing as much bloodline energy he could, but he finally couldn't take it and hit his limit soon, and his body started showing signs of rupturing, following which he immediately stopped absorbing the bloodline energy and understood that humans have an innate physical limit.
He started looking for ways to break this physical limit, it was then that he chanced upon various body refinement techniques which showed him the way for a human to break a human being's innate physical limit, but after a while he faced an obstruction, which were the various limits imposed by the body refinement techniques he could get a hold of, not finding any other way to solve his predicament.
He had decided to create a body refinement technique that was perfect in every way and in all forms possible, with no weaknesses and limitations, after various experiments he created a unique body diagram, which showed in what way can a human being hold the bloodline energy to the limit.
The result of his experiments as well as the newly created body refinement technique shocked Xing ZhenKang to his core, he knew in his heart if the true effects of his body refinement technique were to ever come to light, it would cause shock in the whole world.
The reason being his newly created body refinement technique granted the person practicing it, pure physical strength way above the beasts even above those beasts with divine bloodlines.
Xing ZhenKang refined this body refinement technique of his as his cultivation stage increased.
There was one limitation of this technique that bothered Xing ZhenKang a lot, and it was impossible for anyone apart from him to cultivate this body refinement technique at all as it required absorption of the bloodline energy which only he could do with his bloodline talent.
He wanted to leave something for the slums, he wanted to leave a part of his inheritance behind to the poor people of the slums, due to some reason which was not mentioned in the manual,
Xing ZhenKang couldn't interfere with the slums directly which was why he was helpless, seeing this situation repeating in front of himself again just like before when Li Jie's father had rejected his request of helping the people of the slums made Li Jie ponder,
is there something about the slums that is mystifying and is able to give powerful warriors like his father and Xing ZhenKang trouble that they couldn't interfere in it.
Xing ZhenKang finally created the "PERFECT PHYSIQUE REFINEMENT" technique which was now in Li Jie's hand, according to Xing ZhenKang
apart from the requirement of the technique being absorption of bloodline energy, there was also a need of filtering out the impurity present in the bloodline energy of other beasts and humans.
As Xing ZhenKang had the help of his bloodline talent in filtering out the impurities, he created a substitute in the manual which is currently in Li Jie's hands.
After reading the complete manual, Li Jie closed it and put the manual beside him and felt that it would be a loss not to learn this body refinement technique but he kept his impatience in check and was just waiting for Mr.Teacher, then he would ask him if he should or should not practice this body refinement technique as he was Li Jie' master and he wouldn't want anything bad for Li Jie.
There was one thing which was to be noted, in this situation of Li Jie was that he hadn't had anything to eat or drink for two days in this underground space, his face looked malnourished, his lips were dry and his stomach hurt a lot which was getting harder and harder for him to keep his pain in check.
Li Jie even had thoughts of drinking that liquid which was in the pothole, which after the spherical object started glowing light, he could see it's color which was crimson red, in which he fell but remembering it's unbearable taste if it was normal beasts blood, he would have had drunk it, but the taste of the liquid was unbearable for Li Jie to bear, he had decided in his mind that he would rather die of starvation than drinking this unknown liquid.
As more and more time passed by, Li Jie's pain increased more and more, he couldn't take it anymore, which lead him to roll on the floor writhing in pain, to control himself and the pain he felt, he just kept reminding himself of his family members and how he couldn't just die, he had to go back to them because then what would be the use of him going through this hell, if he couldn't be there for his own family.
As Li Jie was reminiscing about all the good times he had spent with his family, when all of a sudden in front of him, he saw a smiling middle-aged man who was carrying a basket, coming towards Li Jie, the middle-aged man said,
"Well I knew you would end up like this by the end of the week, that's why I had come prepared in advance",
he gave Li Jie the basket which was filled with fruits, cooked meat, and more food and drinking supplies, seeing everything in sight Li Jie was happy and grateful,
he wanted to break into the basket, but he controlled himself and first looked at his teacher, who laughed,
"haha don't mind me you can start eating" as Li Jie heard this from his master, he started eating, even if he was starving, he hadn't lost control of himself and was eating slowly and steadily, seeing his student made Mr.Teacher feel pleasing about his student.
Then as if looking around the underground space, he recalled something which made him quite curious, when his sight reached on the statue, Mr.Teacher's eyes squinted as if recalling something from his memory and then he smiled after contemplating, he looked at his student with a smiling expression,
"Well, aren't you a lucky boy".
