Mastery of Divine Refinement, Hyenas and Vultures

two weeks later

On the bed in a dilapidated apartment in a small room.

At this moment, Li Xijun held a hand seal, his eyes slightly closed, seemingly asleep yet awake, and silently recited the incantation for the Sensing Method.

"The human heart is perilous, the moral heart is subtle; only through refinement and unity of purpose can one truly hold fast to the mean..."

The voice was very soft, yet it had an ethereal quality as it echoed through the room.

at the same time,

Under the golden sun emanating from the Great Luo Mark within Li Xijun's ancestral aperture at the center of his brow...

His own soul had almost manifested in his entire body; his hands, feet, torso, and face were all remarkably similar to Li Xijun's own physical appearance.

The only shortcoming is that Li Xijun's soul body's eyes remained closed.

Her long, slender eyelashes were trembling slightly, as if she were about to open her eyes at any moment.

But it just happens to give people the feeling that it's just a little bit off.

If it were someone else, they might become anxious because of this delay at the last minute.

However, Li Xijun, whose mind had already settled into a state of inner peace and tranquility, was in no hurry.

He cultivated through sensing little by little in this way.

Until one forgets the passage of time in the outside world, forgets the space in which one exists,

Finally, it felt as if something suddenly became lighter.

Li Xijun felt as if he were no longer bound by any cage, and his soul naturally opened his eyes, revealing the radiance of a galaxy pouring down upon him.

Your "Detailed Explanation of the Spirit Refining and Acupoint Opening Sensing Method" has increased from 99% to 100%.

[Your Spirit Refinement System: Aperture Opening Realm, increased from 98% to 100%.]

In the real world, Li Xijun also opened her eyes and let out a long breath.

"The divine soul has fully perceived and manifested, achieving the Great Perfection of the Aperture Opening Realm."

"Next is the [Concentration Realm], where one can cultivate and strengthen their divine soul through techniques."

"Just like becoming a Transcendent Realm martial artist is the true entry into the extraordinary realm."

"Only by entering the Concentration Realm can my spiritual power truly break free from its shackles and begin to possess extraordinary power."

"However, the 'Detailed Explanation of the Beginner's Guide to Spirit Refinement' only mentions that one needs to cultivate the 'Visualization Method' to reach the 'Concentration of Spirit' realm, but it doesn't provide any further information. I'm afraid I'll have to go to the Contemplation Association again and spend money to buy the book."

Thinking of this, Li Xijun turned around and took out a black standard electromagnetic pistol from under her pillow.

Unlike the old days, those Desert Eagles, Glocks, and Bolette 92F pistols were all stylish and aesthetically pleasing.

This standard version of the electromagnetic pistol has neither a metallic feel nor the dangerous feeling that a firearm gives; instead, it looks more like a plastic toy pistol.

It looks completely harmless, but in reality, its power is as follows:

A single shot can easily kill a mythical creature at the servant level. Even a martial artist who has just taken the first step of the Transcendent Realm will find it difficult to dodge; if they are hit by a single shot, they will suffer severe internal injuries.

In terms of intelligence:

The trigger also features a discreet fingerprint unlock; if the applicant's fingerprint cannot be detected, the gun will not fire no matter how many times it is pressed.

If someone were to forcibly dismantle the gun and attempt to modify it... it is said that the explosive force of its self-destruction could easily cripple a Transcendent Realm martial artist.

"The Dirty Martial Artist, who can be called a human tiger, is indeed very strong. It's just a pity that times have changed!"

Feeling completely safe, Li Xijun stored the electromagnetic pistol at her waist, ready to take it back to the other world.

Although this kind of weapon will most likely have some kind of backdoor or something,

However, no matter how advanced federal technology is, it is impossible for them to travel across the world and obtain information about his shooting and killing.

........................

A moment later

Inside the bathroom with the thick curtains drawn,

Having grown accustomed to the sense of security this place provides while traversing the world,

Li Xijun silently focused his consciousness, looking at his attribute panel in front of him.

Name: Li Xijun

Age: 17

[Level: Apprentice Level 6]

[Qi and Blood Level: 6.3]

[Spiritual Level: 9.0]

[Refining Spirit System: Acupoint Opening Realm (100%)]

[Martial Arts Refinement System: Physical Realm (86%)]

[Technique:]

[Azure Dragon Sky-Piercing Technique: (Proficient 94%)]

[Detailed Explanation of the Spirit Refining Method for Opening the Mind and Sensing (100%)]

【Tiger Subduing Bone Refining Technique (89% Proficient)】

[Martial Arts]

【True Martial Thirty-Six Forms (Mastery 25%)】

[Basic Knife Techniques: (Beginner 98%)]

[Convergence of the Heavens (0%)]

"These past few days I've focused on refining my spirit and body, so my Qi and blood levels have improved rather slowly."

"On average, it only increases the Qi and Blood level by 0.1 every 5 days, which is only slightly better than Zhou Yibai's breakthrough of 0.1 in 16 days."

"However, the harvest was not bad."

"Not only have I achieved the first stage of mastery in the path of spiritual refinement, but I'm also almost there in the physical realm of martial arts."

"Senior Brother Yu's estimate of one month is not very accurate. I estimate that if we practice for another week, we will be able to achieve a perfect score by the time of the monthly exam at school."

"My proficiency with the Thirty-Six Forms of True Martial Arts has improved a bit due to my sparring with Ye Liuyun these past few days, but I still can't grasp the essence of the second killing move, the Hanging Cloud Hand."

"It seems we'll have to wait until we cultivate the 'Tiger Demon Bone Refining Fist' at the Bone and Tendon Realm before we can complement each other."

After silently calculating in his mind and confirming that there were no problems, Li Xijun began the time travel process.

.........................

A moment later

After returning to his home in the affluent neighborhood filled with mansions as usual,

After putting on the nano-protective suit, Li Xijun continued to use the drone to patrol the surrounding area as usual.

"Hehe... As time goes on, it's inevitable that some people will have designs on me."

Looking at the man in the drone's field of vision, who had been loitering and stalking her near her home for three consecutive days, Li Xijun couldn't stop sneering.

He was actually mentally prepared for this kind of thing.

After all, his so-called status as a wealthy young man who returned from studying abroad in the Western Continent was not very intimidating.

Putting aside the five hundred taels he secretly donated,

Just the 500 taels I paid to become an inner disciple, plus the several hundred taels I spent on medicinal baths and qi-boosting medicines, brought the total to 1,000 taels.

It is estimated that this will also arouse the greed of some hyenas and vultures.

Moreover, after Ye Liuyun helped him apply for approval to display the electromagnetic pistol, he ate medicinal meals almost every day on the second floor of the martial arts school's cafeteria.

The outer disciples of the Killing Body Martial Arts School saw it all clearly, and there have been quite a few rumors about him these days.

It wasn't until these last few days that someone started to make a move on him, which was already considered late.

Li Xijun saw the man loitering nearby, but he didn't rush to alert the man or kill him.

Now he has a nano-protective suit for defense, a standard electromagnetic pistol for offense, and the ability to travel the world to escape.

They no longer considered filthy martial artists a threat, and could even put up a fight against marrow-refining grandmasters.

Naturally, I wanted to take this opportunity to find out who was behind this greedy person.

"To cut the weeds, you must pull them out by the roots!"

"My strength is growing stronger every day, and I'm not afraid of dragging things out with my opponent."

"I'd like to see who's really after me."

Having made up her mind, Li Xijun simply walked out of her house and headed straight for the Killing Martial Arts School.

When the person keeping watch saw Li Xijun's usual route to the martial arts school, they promptly made their escape.

Under the drone's field of vision, it turned out that they had run into a room in the Killing Martial Arts School to deliver the message ahead of time.
