141. The Secret of Foundation Establishment
Lin Fei's gaze was as sharp as a saber. He stared intently at Liu Yibai.
This was not the first time Lin Fei had heard this term. Martial artists also needed to build their foundation, but it was different from Qi Condensation practitioners. Martial artists build the foundation of their martial arts.
This martial arts foundation was even more difficult than the immortal dao foundation! Even the Nine Profound Sect's founder, who once suppressed the world and was peerlessly brilliant, ultimately failed to build his foundation successfully. This showed how difficult foundation building was!
"Which martial artist in the world doesn't want to build their foundation? However, the difficulty of foundation building is as difficult as ascending to the heavens. Could it be that Elder Liu has a way to build the foundation?" Lin Fei spoke slowly, word by word.
Liu Yibai did not speak. He waved his hand.
"Clang clang."
The broken swords on the Sword Tomb all vibrated. Then they were buried underground.
"Elder Lin, this is where the predecessors of our Hidden Sword Sect buried their swords. Let's not disturb the swords of our predecessors. How about going to my cave dwelling to talk?"
Lin Fei nodded and said, "In that case, I will respectfully comply!"
Lin Fei had no problem becoming a martial arts Grand Master with his perfected saber intent and saber energy.
Even Lin Fei believed that he would not be inferior to the founder of the Nine Profound Sect in the future, but it was the foundation building that Lin Fei had no confidence. After all, even the Nine Profound Sect's founder failed to build his foundation successfully. He didn't know any information about foundation building. He was naturally very interested in Liu Yibai's invitation.
Liu Yibai glanced at the surrounding martial arts masters and spoke calmly, "I ask that today's matter not be spread by the elders present."
Liu Yibai was not afraid that others would know he couldn't handle Lin Fei. It was just that the current situation in Great Chang was unfavorable for martial artists. What he and Lin Fei were going to do was not a trivial matter. The news must not be leaked.
"Elder Liu, rest assured, we understand and will not spread the news!"
The surrounding martial arts masters also responded one after another. At the same time, their hearts gradually settled down. Foundation building was the pursuit of martial arts masters. Even if Lin Fei, the Number One Saber Under Heaven, was strong, so what?
Once Liu Yibai successfully built his foundation. Their Hidden Sword Sect would have been the only Martial Saint in Great Chang for the past three hundred years.
A Martial Saint is a saint in martial arts! Once they achieved the status of a Martial Saint, they would be much stronger than ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivators.
The mind is unfathomable. Martial artists use their will to represent the mind, so martial artists need to comprehend Martial Dao True Intent. Once Martial Dao True Intent reaches perfection, it represents mental perfection.
The last one, physical body perfection, refers to the body. We, martial artists, have been refining the body from the beginning, which, in a sense, is actually laying the foundation for physical body perfection. However, is the ultimate Body Refining, giving birth to inner power, truly the ultimate?
Not necessarily. That is not the ultimate physical body; if we want to build our foundation, we must cultivate the physical body to the extreme and elevate it to the extreme.
And this is actually very difficult. Because physical body perfection is the only one that cannot be achieved solely by the martial artist. It also requires the help of external objects."
"External objects?"
Lin Fei's heart was moved.
"Yes, external objects. All kinds of heavenly materials and earthly treasures, rare birds, exotic beasts, etc. In short, it is about sparing no effort to nourish one's own body to make it reach perfection."
"What characteristics represent physical body perfection?" Lin Fei asked.
Liu Yibai paused for a moment. Then, he said solemnly, word by word: "Skin like a baby, body exuding a unique fragrance, flawless and pure, untainted golden body! This is physical body perfection!
Once the physical body reaches perfection, it is like the legendary Buddha or a holy being. The physical body is impervious to swords and spears, invulnerable to water and fire, unsinkable in water, and immune to all diseases!"
Lin Fei stretched out his hand. His hand had fair and tender skin, but there was still a significant difference compared to a baby's skin.
As for the unique body fragrance, that was even more impossible. Not to mention being impervious to swords and spears, invulnerable to water and fire, and unsinkable in water.
This was almost like a myth. Such a person with this kind of physical body, even without building their foundation, would be free from diseases and live a long life for hundreds of years! Because this represents the limit that a mortal body can reach!
Lin Fei knew that his physical body had reached its limit. No matter how much he practiced hard martial arts or Body Refining techniques, it would be of no use.
Achieve physical body perfection, it was almost impossible for martial artists to do it on their own. External objects were needed.
"Elder Liu, please tell me straight. What kind of heavenly materials and earthly treasures, rare birds, and exotic beasts? How much effect can they have? To truly reach physical body perfection, what exactly is this external object?"
Lin Fei's gaze was fixed on Liu Yibai. He knew that this was the key.
