Adaptation

Might makes right.

Since there's a way to make your fist bigger, then try your best to make your fist bigger.

"We need to find a closed space."

Zhu Ge looked around.

Cultivating the Great Sun Lapis Lazuli Body is not something that can be done casually.

After all, even the cells need to be tempered, so there can't be too much wind at the beginning, otherwise the pain would be unbearable.

Therefore, it is best to do so in a closed space.

Although there is airflow, it is not much, and it is tolerable for the first time.

For some reason, Zhu Ge thought of coffins.

"It seems like only a coffin would be a suitable place..."

Zhu Ge's expression was somewhat strange.

The house isn't actually that enclosed; there's quite a lot of airflow.

However, coffins are different. Under normal circumstances, no one will touch a coffin because it is a closed space with very little airflow.

As for which coffin is better?

"No, does that mean I have to lie in Hua Xiaomei's coffin?"

Zhu Ge's face completely fell.

Because after thinking it over, he realized that the people who had recently died from the plague were Hua Xiaomei and her mother.

The other people's coffins were filthy.

The problem was that Hua Xiaomei's mother was cremated by her husband because her body was covered in sores from the plague, in order to prevent the spread of infection.

Hua Xiaomei, on the other hand, did not have much of an illness, so she was buried in a coffin.

All the coffins in other cemeteries have "owners," and lying in those coffins wouldn't be comfortable.

Therefore, Zhu Ge thought that Hua Xiaomei's coffin was the most suitable.

He had just dug it out; it was clean and comfortable inside, with a slight fragrance, making it perfect for cultivation.

"Could this cultivation technique have been given to me by Xi Shen through Scholar Yu...?"

Zhu Ge couldn't help but let his mind wander.

However, it was just a thought; he knew that was unlikely.

While he was thinking, he had already arrived at the cemetery at the foot of the mountain, then he broke open Hua Xiaomei's coffin and lay down inside.

The interior was indeed clean and comfortable, which suggests that Hua Xiaomei's body or her own body hadn't even reached the point of decomposition before she was left here.

Of course, this was expected.

Now that she was lying down, Zhu Ge closed her eyes.

Instead of immediately embodying the Kunpeng's special qualities and astral projection, he closed his eyes and carefully comprehended the experience.

When he wore the Kunpeng, he also considered this issue: one cannot rely on the Kunpeng's characteristics to transcend, that is, to have one's soul leave the body.

Because the perspective during an out-of-body experience is different from usual.

Sometimes, having an out-of-body experience and seeing different perspectives can have surprising effects.

In that case, he needs to break free from the restrictions and learn that out-of-body experience.

Transform your unique abilities into your own, ideally reaching a level of mastery where you can use them as easily as wielding an arm!

In that case, if it's just a matter of the soul leaving the body in the future, there's no need to consume lifespan to wear the Kunpeng anymore.

Zhu Ge even wanted to grasp that feeling of calmness and the feeling of her thinking logic running at supersonic speed.

It's just that it's very difficult to master.

"Take a deep breath..."

Zhu Ge lay in the coffin, eyes closed, searching for that feeling of "transcendence".

Extreme stillness, profound mystery.

This mysterious feeling came very quickly, and Zhu Ge actually felt as if her soul had left her body.

"Pop~"

Zhu Ge's soul suddenly detached from her body.

"That simple?"

Zhu Ge, in his soul form, was somewhat taken aback.

Looking at the flesh below, Zhu Ge had a thought and returned to her body.

The process was very quick and efficient, and not as troublesome as Zhu Ge had anticipated.

"That's a good thing..."

Zhu Ge felt a slight joy in her heart and began her practice of the "Great Sun Lapis Lazuli Body".

Daiichi Ryuri, also known as Daiichi Gosai Ryuri.

The five elements of wind, water, fire, marshland, and mountain refine the five colors of green, blue, fire, yellow, and black.

And the first color is the Wind-Refined Azure!

Cultivating with wind, once mastered, one's body emits a blue light, and the ability to split gold and shatter stone is effortless.

If all five colors come together, the body becomes like crystal, achieving the Crystal Body, capable of killing gods and demons alike.

Now, all that's needed is for the soul to leave the body, and then endure the pain...

"hiss--"

Having just begun cultivating according to the method of the "Great Sun Lapis Lazuli Body," Zhu Ge felt an unprecedented pain assail him.

The itching and pain were unbearable.

He originally wanted to try out the feeling of cultivating without his soul leaving his body, but as soon as he opened the pores of his body with his technique, the blowing air made him stop cultivating abruptly.

It should be noted that the airflow inside the coffin is already very, very weak.

The largest source of airflow should be the airflow stirred up by his breathing.

Such a weak airflow is probably not even enough to cause a flicker in the flame.

But even this level of pain caused him so much pain.

He couldn't even imagine how painful it would be to cultivate himself in the spotlight one day.

No wonder the founders of this technique only cultivated the first level and then stopped.

No one is a masochist!

"Unless this person wants to live..."

Zhu Ge opened her eyes, then closed them again in an instant, revealing their crimson color.

He circulated the energy technique, and then his soul left his body.

"Ouch, that really hurts..."

"Even the pain of having one's soul leave one's body can be felt..."

Zhu Ge's soul was originally an egg, and at this moment, feeling that pain, it couldn't help but tremble.

It hurts so much!

However, in order to survive and to gain power, he had to endure these things!

"Ten...nine...eight...seven..."

The body endures tempering, the soul suffers pain, and the blessing song still needs to be timed.

Because too much of a good thing is bad.

Physical training is certainly possible, but it needs to be done in moderation.

Generally, ten seconds is the limit. After ten seconds, you need to rest to prevent your body from becoming lifeless and to prevent your soul from collapsing from pain.

"...Three...two...one!"

Ten seconds later, Zhu Ge immediately ended her first training session.

As soon as his soul returned, a sore, aching, and itchy sensation came from all over his body.

Just like the day after a day of intense training, my whole body felt uncomfortable!

That's not all; Zhu Ge even felt discomfort in areas like her liver and kidneys.

"This is truly a full-body workout..."

Zhu Ge smiled bitterly.

However, he had no intention of backing down.

Take a one-minute break, then continue!

"Ten...nine...eight...seven..."

"Ten...nine...eight...seven..."

……

In just one hour, Zhu Ge felt like she wanted to die.

He didn't even have the willpower to push open the coffin.

Sometimes people are mentally tired but not physically tired, and sometimes they are physically tired but not mentally tired.

Just as some office workers are physically exhausted from carrying bricks all day, while others are mentally exhausted from brainstorming all day.

Zhu Ge is now completely exhausted, both physically and mentally.

He could feel that his muscles were sore and itchy, but he still had strength, and the stored glucose and other energy had not been used up. However, he didn't even have the will to move.

"It's called a body-refining technique, but it's actually a soul-refining technique..."

Zhu Ge sighed inwardly, lying quietly in the coffin as if she were dead.

The crucial point is that he doesn't dare to sleep.

So he could only silently calculate the time in his mind, preparing to rest well before going home before the sun set.

Lying quietly, Zhu Ge's breathing calmed down.

After lying down for only a few minutes, Zhu Ge's thoughts began to stir again.

"Why not try to find that feeling of 'calmness'?"

In his opinion, the Kunpeng trait is a combination of many traits.

He doesn't develop or use many traits these days, but whether it's "detachment," "calmness," or "logical thinking," they have all had a very good effect on him.

Since we need to rest, there's no need for pure rest.

If you've tried "detachment," you can also try "calmness"!

"Calm down..."

"By the way, what are we having for dinner? How about Boletus luridus? I heard it's delicious, but is there a risk of poisoning?"

"Yes, I can't think about anything, I can't think about anything."

"That scholar Yu has no children, why doesn't he get married? Is there something wrong with him...?"

"Ahem, don't spread rumors."

"Calm down, calm down, don't overthink it..."

Gradually, Zhu Ge's breath grew longer and longer, and his eyes gradually deepened.

"The sound of insects?"

"Perhaps the chirping of insects could be a breakthrough?"

"If we use wolves to devour tigers, and the wolves and tigers are evenly matched, could we then introduce a leopard?"
