Xu Feng turned to see A Qi and smiled, "Did you see that? Am I handsome? If so, then it's obvious; I won't be arrogant about it."
A Qi, a Sixth-Level Monster, had developed intelligence over the years and was well-acquainted with Jin Liaoyuan. It understood human speech perfectly, but Xu Feng's comment felt a bit too "postmodern" to it. In the end, A Qi interpreted the statement as a boring piece of nonsense.
Xu Feng continued, "A Qi, I've already started learning the master's Cultivation Method. I'm hungry now; let's go get something to eat." Seeing A Qi trying to leave the cave alone, Xu Feng quickly grabbed hold of it and said, "Seventh Senior Brother, can we eat something else? We don't have to eat fruit."
A Qi didn't mind how Xu Feng addressed him. Since Xu Feng began practicing the Control Vein Technique, A Qi had accepted him as a junior brother and recognized him as Jin Liaoyuan's disciple. A Qi extended its massive claw and grabbed Xu Feng, flying out of the cave.
The view outside the cave was vastly different from the night sky; it was dark at night and hard to see. This time when A Qi flew out, Xu Feng felt like a mountain eagle clutching a small rodent. At a height of over a hundred feet on a sheer cliff, Xu Feng's face turned pale with fear; even a Foundation Period Disciple would be dead if they fell from this height.
Xu Feng clung to A Qi's leg, trembling. If anything went wrong, how could he face the master? More importantly, how could he face himself?
Suddenly feeling empty-handed, A Qi kicked him off. Xu Feng let out a desperate scream as he began to fall.
A Qi flipped in mid-air and swooped down after Xu Feng. Before Xu Feng fell more than ten meters, A Qi caught him again and tossed him into the air like a toy. As Xu Feng screamed in panic while soaring through space, A Qi simply refused to hold onto him tightly.
The two of them played tricks in the sky; A Qi was having a great time and kept cheering. At first, Xu Feng screamed continuously, but eventually, he couldn't make any sounds anymore and just kept vomiting—first food and then bile.
Is this how bungee jumping is supposed to be? Xu Feng realized that A Qi was playing a prank on him. There was nothing he could do; this was its territory. He really wanted to grab A Qi and give it a good beating but feared he wouldn't win.
After several minutes of this chaotic play, seeing that Xu Feng had no strength left to vomit anymore, A Qi finally stopped and tossed him onto its back before flying down the cliff.
This was Xu Feng's first time riding on A Qi's back. He knew that from now on, A Qi's back would likely only be reserved for him. This creature certainly had an unusual way of making friends.
At the bottom of the cliff was a stream filled with fish about a foot long. Xu Feng caught two and strung them up before starting a fire by the stream. Nearby, he could hear the roars of Fifth-Grade Monsters; with A Qi around, he felt safe.
Soon enough, the fish were cooked. Xu Feng tossed one to A Qi while taking a big bite out of the other one. There was no need to think about seasonings; for someone who usually ate fruits and pills, being able to occasionally enjoy grilled fish was already something to be thankful for.
A Qi wasn't surprised by the grilled fish; it seemed that Jin Liaoyuan had done this before as well. With one gulp, it swallowed an entire fish whole.
After finishing their meal, A Qi didn't let Xu Feng linger any longer and grabbed him again to fly back to the stone cave. Once their relationship was established, A Qi took on an elder brother's demeanor and insisted that everything should be arranged according to its plans.
The other cultivation methods left by Jin Liaoyuan are all intermediate, and can only be practiced after establishing a foundation. Xu Feng decided to finish practicing the Five Elements Technique first, and then make plans after establishing his foundation.
The benefits of the Control Vein Technique in cultivation are indeed quite extraordinary, but changing the Five Spiritual Roots into a Single Spiritual Root is still somewhat lacking. After all, the absorption of spiritual power relies not only on the Meridian but also on the muscle pores throughout the body interacting with the earth. There is a significant difference between Spiritual Roots and Meridians. Controlling the Meridians to produce a Single Spiritual Root is essentially a pseudo-Single Spiritual Root. Even so, Jin Liaoyuan's Control Vein Technique is still astonishing.
What Jin Liaoyuan did not anticipate was that this cultivation method could only be practiced by those with exceptionally strong mental power. For ordinary people, with most of their Meridians closed off, it would be a miracle just to survive, let alone practice. Moreover, since Jin Liaoyuan set restrictions on the Five Elements Spiritual Roots, this Control Vein Technique is almost tailor-made for Xu Feng; others would find it impossible to cultivate even if they obtained this method.
With previous experience, Xu Feng found it much easier to practice again. Following the order of the Five Elements generating each other, this time Xu Feng closed off the Metal and Wood Fire elements, leaving only the Earth Element's Meridian open.
As the Boulder Fist began to operate, discomfort started to arise in various parts of his body, gradually intensifying. The anticipated difficulties arrived as expected, and Xu Feng struggled to endure with his extraordinary mental power.
Nourished by the Fire Element One Star, the Earth Elemental Energy rapidly increased.
After a while, an exhausted Xu Feng released the seal. This time he persisted for an hour in his practice, and without realizing it, his mental power had also improved. Originally at the Refining Qi Second Layer, the Boulder Fist experienced a surge in spiritual power after an hour of practice and was on the verge of breaking through.
After practicing two elements in one morning, Xu Feng was utterly exhausted. He took a Chiyang Fruit and rested for two hours before recovering his strength. A Qi was very satisfied with Xu Feng's performance and did not push him to continue practicing.
Haste makes waste; even the Sixth-Level Monster A Qi understood this principle. Xu Feng did not remain idle either; he took out an old book titled True Alchemy Explanation that he had set aside for a long time and began reading it. He had read this book long ago but had become somewhat unfamiliar with it due to lack of practical experience. Now in the Beast Wasteland where spiritual herbs were abundant everywhere, he felt it would be remiss not to practice a bit.
Before long, Xu Feng finished reading and greeted A Qi before they both flew out of the cave. This time A Qi did not bully Xu Feng but obediently carried him around the jungle.
A Qi was currently in a very remote location where Fifth-Grade Monsters roamed freely, scaring away all low-level disciples who ventured out for training. Even high-level loose cultivators who dared to venture out typically left quickly upon finding necessary herbs or ores without conducting extensive searches.
In less than twenty minutes, Xu Feng gathered dozens of quite potent herbs and even picked up several demon cores from Fifth-Grade Monsters that had killed each other. Unfortunately, Xu Feng did not have a Dan Furnace on hand; otherwise, he could have refined some simple pills.
Upon returning to the cave, A Qi suddenly launched an attack, sending Xu Feng tumbling several times; this Birdman actually intended to teach Xu Feng combat techniques. Xu Feng had witnessed A Qi's ferocity before; even Lu Dishi, such a powerful Golden Core expert, had nearly been roasted alive.
Xu Feng drew his heavy sword and prepared to charge forward when A Qi lightly waved its hand and knocked the heavy sword far away. It pointed at Xu Feng's ring, indicating that he should use Jin Liaoyuan's Superior Spirit Sword.
Xu Feng did not hesitate; knowing that with his current strength he could not unleash the full power of the Superior Spirit Sword—even if he could—it would still be far from being able to match A Qi. Even Lu Dishi's mid-grade spirit weapon would meet a similar fate.
Xu Fengxin chanted a spell, and the Cold Light Sword leaped out, clashing with A Qi in a flurry of strikes.
In the following days, Xu Feng repeated the same routine: cultivating, gathering herbs, barbecuing, sparring, and regulating his breath. However, each day brought different gains, and his cultivation level was rapidly increasing.
As his realm improved, the difficulty of further breakthroughs also escalated. Six months later, Xu Feng's mental strength had increased to the point where he could maintain the Control Vein Technique for four consecutive hours. Through extensive experimentation, he finally comprehended the Seal Technique from the Human Control chapter.
The Seal Technique replicates the closed meridian method by forming hand seals. As long as he could execute the hand movements through these seals, he could complete the task of sealing the Meridian. The Seal Technique combines talisman and formation arts; fortunately, these are not overly complex spells but rather combinations of basic techniques, allowing Xu Feng to master it in a short time.
With the Seal Technique at his disposal, Xu Feng's cultivation speed increased even further.
As autumn passed and spring returned, a year and a half had quickly gone by.
At this moment, the air around the stone cave trembled slightly. Then, covered in dirt but with a joyful expression, Xu Feng soared out of the cave riding A Qi.
After two years of arduous training in the Beast Wasteland, Xu Feng finally succeeded in establishing his foundation, shedding his mortal shell and becoming a true practitioner of Xian Dao.
