Chapter 179: White Jade Body Cultivation

Chapter 179: White Jade Body Cultivation

The other cultivators sighed, full of the same despair Hui felt. He glanced around at them and felt a sudden burst of camaraderie, something he hadnt felt in any of his lives; not in his first life, not in Starbound Sect, not in Black Asp Sect. He shook his head, exhausted. Were all in this together, brothers and sisters. Together, well get through this!

Though no one said a word, the pace of their running lowered a beat or two. The more muscular cultivators breathing evened out as they took a break, and cultivators like Hui caught up. Hui ran along, his whole body aching. Ive never faced such torture. Not even under the hands of the loan sharks! At least they would only break my bones and crush my body. Theyd never never force me to run myself to death!

A blast of white flashed by them. The whole group jumped. A few of the quicker-witted ones, Hui included, sped up once more.

A second later, Ding Lao arrived with a laugh. A real challenge, for the first time in a long time! I like that girl. Shes got spunk. If only you could also be like her, my pitiful, flabby brothers and sisters Ah! But if you keep at it, and continue to train your bodies, one day one day! One day, all my brothers and sisters will be as powerful as that girl, with gorgeous muscles glittering under the sun! Ding Lao clenched his fist, a wide smile on his face.

Be like her?

No way. Ding Lao approves, so that means she relied on her physical body alone to move that fast?

Never! Its impossible! Ding Lao and that girl theyre both freaks!

Hui gasped, panting too hard to speak. Sweat streamed down his face and back, and his legs ached fiercely. Dammit. Im going to die! Im going to sweat out my organs and die! My legs are going to fall apart. Im dying!

On and on. Liu Baozhai slowed down and ran alongside Ding Lao, who jogged casually alongside them despite their brutal pace, not even sweating. He chattered at Liu Baozhai, who occasionally dipped her head in agreement or uttered a single syllable. Like him, she wasnt even breathing hard, let alone sweating.

Hui narrowed his eyes in disgust. This this I cant believe it! Chatting up a girl while the rest of us suffer, how could he! And he isnt even using his qi

Hui stopped dead. The thought hit him like thunder, roaring through his brain. Wait. He isnt even using his qi.

Isnt using his qi. Updated from novelbIn.(c)om

When I play dead, I cant use qi. Body cultivation isnt it the ultimate kind of cultivation for me?

Hey! No slowing down! Ding Lao shouted.

Hui dropped to his knees and kowtowed to Ding Lao and Liu Baozhai. Seniors! Please take this small disciple under your wings! Ill do anything, just teach me body cultivation!

Ding Laos eyes shone. You could it be? Have you gained enlightenment on the art of cultivating ones muscles? Yes! It seems you, at the very least, have broken through the first realm of body cultivation, which is to understand the true value of body cultivation! And on your first day, too. Aha, Junior Brother, it would be an honor to teach one so gifted!

The other cultivators shot Hui pitying looks, quietly shaking their heads.

He ignored them, instead climbing to his feet to roar off at top speed. His heart thudded, his breath came short, his legs ached, but he ignored all that. My bodys too delicate. I cant take a lot of hits. On top of that, I need to use qi to attack. Only a little qi with the talismans, but even so, its still some qi! If I can learn to attack without qi, I can sneak attack from a position of absolute advantage. If I can develop a tougher body that can take more punishment before I have to get up and give up on playing dead, I can survive more encounters! ThisIm only disappointed that I didnt think of it earlier.

Ah! Is that what Master was trying to tell me about when he used body cultivation to piece a robe back together? Was that his way of showing me a body cultivation technique so I could play dead even better? Master! This small disciple truly lacks comprehension! When I return, I ought to bow to Master as apology for my deficient understanding!

Ah, speaking of which. I should give that lady who sent me off some gold. I can do that much.

Wait, but where was my home? I fell asleep on the way to the sect.

Hui sighed. Oh well, Ill figure it out.

Still her body cultivation technique although I cant use it, I can use the idea. Transmute the flesh into something stronger, something with magical properties. Leave behind my fleshly body and ascend to a stronger, more permanent form!

But what?

Hui put a hand on his chin, thinking. Not undead flesh. Thats I dont want to become a ghoul. True, they have incredible regenerative power, but

Hmm theres the snake sheds regeneration technique. I have to lose a skin to use that, though, and currently, Im only strong enough to use that technique thrice in succession. Besides, I dont want to rely on that. Its too obvious! What if Im badly injured to the point Ill die, but in a situation where Im not free to do something so obvious as shed my skin? What if I need to take a beating without being able to shed my skin in the middle of it? I need a tough body for that, a tough body that can regenerate itself without overtly using qi, at that. But only at the right time! If I immediately regenerate, that could kill my death-faking!

Maybe shes right. Maybe a technique like that isnt suited to me at all. Ill set it aside for now.

Then what about Ding Laos technique?

He looked at Ding Lao. Putting a hand to his back, he remembered the rowdy qi that surged into him. With that... I couldnt help but run. Then is that his technique? Or is his qi always like that?

The only time my qi was like that, I almost died! Unsuitable, unsuitable! This poor disciple's qi passages arent strong enough!

Between the two if I had to pick one, Liu Baozhais technique is closer to what I want! No qi required, a magnificent body that can take a beating far beyond any ordinary cultivator! Ding Laos unrivaledly powerful qi and surging energy is not for a humble cultivator like me. I want to play dead, not charge headlong into battle.

Its settled. White Jade Body Cultivation Technique, I dont care if youre a bloodline technique! Im going to comprehend you in my own way! Decided, Hui clenched his fist.

Hey! No slacking! Ding Lao shouted.

Understood, Elder Brother! Hui called back, pushing himself faster. He surged to the front of the pack, ignoring the pain in his body. Until then anything, to make this body of mine stronger and play dead more successfully!

The other cultivators looked at Hui, sadness in their eyes.

Ah. Hes gone insane, hasnt he.

Hes lost it. Theres no future for him in cultivation anymore. If hes fallen in with Ding Lao, from here on out his only path is body cultivation!

Dont tell me will we have two Ding Laos from now on?
