Chapter Forty-Six: Not a Cultivation Method for Humans

  As Ye Qing gained a deeper understanding of the Shadow Fist Technique, he became increasingly admiring of the divine person who created it. It was unbelievable that they had thought of using masks, which gave them a psychological advantage after masking, combined with the agility of the Shadow Step, to fully unleash the true essence of the Shadow Fist Technique.

  The upper part of the Shadow Fist's refinement is truly astonishing, all human cultivators are searching everywhere for treasures, but what treasure can be more handy than one's own body? Thinking about the appearance of the masked man on the cover, Ye Qing became so excited that he couldn't contain himself, but he couldn't say it out loud, not even write it down, the masked man said it clearly, those who reveal heavenly secrets will surely suffer heavenly punishment!

  The latter part of the wind and rain, overwhelming, turned out to be just the basic skills, Ye Qing now wants to quickly master this basic skill, and wait for the appearance of the masked man, perform the subsequent skills, even if he doesn't have the power to cultivate in the near future, it's still enjoyable!

  Ye Qing had been excitedly pacing around the dormitory, while Zhang Yulong, who was lying down smoking, irritably said: "Bloodstone, you've been circling around since you came in. I'm having a broken heart right now, can't you comfort me before continuing to circle?"

  "Alright, go on!" Ye Qing said with a smile.

  Zhang Yulong immediately cheered and jumped up excitedly, but soon fell to the ground and cried out in shock.

  Ye Qing naturally rewarded Zhang Yulong with tens of thousands of dollars and directly entered the Qing Ye world to cultivate, not hurrying to improve his strength, how can he help more people?

  Ye Qing naturally started by cultivating the upper half of the Shadow Fist Technique, tempering his muscles and bones. Xue Er took a glance at Ye Qing, who was gritting his teeth in concentration, and revealed an expression of disdain, as if to say "you're asking for trouble". She flipped over and continued to sleep soundly under the body of the Millennium Snow Ginseng.

  Ye Qing had already fainted from the pain for the third time, he hadn't expected that Shadow Fist would be so difficult to practice. This might not even be called cultivation anymore, but rather genuine self-torture.

  Looking at the masked man's elegant movements, it turns out that behind his back he had to undergo such cruel training. No wonder the masked man would reveal a mocking expression, it turns out this is not something a human can practice.

  Forget it, I won't complain anymore. If I continue to complain, I'll reveal the heavenly secret and suffer from heavenly punishment. Anyway, I just know that this Shadow Fist technique is not something humans can cultivate.

  However, how could Ye Qing give up? That kind of mighty and domineering power that could move mountains and seas, even if it meant enduring the pain of refining his soul, Ye Qing was willing to accept. Moreover, the technique of summoning the wind and rain, stirring up thunder and exploding a mountain with one punch, was only the basic technique of Shadow Fist, just thinking about it made one's heart surge with excitement!

  Tempering the muscles and bones, first of all, is to remove impurities from the body. In fact, when a human cultivator succeeds in building their foundation, most of the impurities on their body will be removed because they have already been washed away by the marrow washing process.

  But Ye Qing was only at the 8th layer of Qi Refining, and hadn't even reached the later stages of Qi Refining. The impurities in his body were naturally abundant. Ye Qing had only used that Bone and Muscle Tempering technique to run three cycles, and had already fainted from the pain three times.

  However, the effect is also very obvious. Around Ye Qing's body, there is already a thick layer of grayish keratinous greasy impurities. If there was a Turkish person here now, they would definitely think that Ye Qing is taking a Turkish bath!

  Ye Qing didn't have the energy to care about his own body's filth, and instead was convulsing all over as he operated the fourth cycle of the Tempering Marrow and Flesh technique. According to Ye Qing's estimates, when the keratin impurities no longer appeared on his body, only then would the first step of the Tempering Marrow and Flesh be considered complete.

  Ye Qing didn't grit his teeth, but instead loudly cried out in pain. However, every time he was at the most critical moment of tempering, Ye Qing would pass out from the pain.

  Ye Qing has already forgotten about time, wholeheartedly immersing himself in the self-torturing tempering of his muscles and bones, what classes, what work, all postponed.

  Xue Er brought Fen Er, hiding in a corner of the green leaf world, full of resentment staring at Ye Qing who was convulsing on the ground. Although Ye Qing had been knocked unconscious countless times and had many impurities refined out, Ye Qing knew that those impurities were only superficial, and the deep-seated impurities within herself had not been driven out in the slightest.

  Every time Ye Qing delves deeper into the Quenching Method, he immediately passes out from the pain. It's not a matter of human willpower, but rather exceeding the limit of human pain tolerance, and fainting is just a self-protective function!

  Ye Qing didn't dare to stop, fearing that once he washed his body clean, he would no longer have the courage to continue cultivating. Thinking of the mocking expression on the face of the masked man on the cover, Ye Qing gritted his teeth and continued this absolutely self-abusive behavior.

  One bout of dizziness after another passed, and the impurities on his body were gradually eliminated. Ye Qing not only didn't feel happy, but instead felt a faint sense of sorrow. The human body was really too fragile, and with just a bit more pain, he would actually pass out.

  Ye Qing knew that if he could persist without fainting in extreme pain, he would definitely be able to advance another level and force out the deeper impurities within himself. Although his refinement of tendons, bones, and flesh was still far from complete, at least he would have some achievement, rather than just revolving on the surface like now.

  Ye Qing thought of many methods, such as hanging from the beam, stabbing his thigh, hitting himself on the head with a stick, pouring chili water, and even asking Fen Er to help him bite himself. None of these worked. When he tried to purify the impurities under his skin, a surge of extreme pain made him faint immediately. The "Ten Great Tortures" were simply a joke to Ye Qing, who was in extreme agony. That little bit of pain was like the most comfortable massage in the world to him.

  Although he knew that going deeper would allow him to further purify himself, his own body was a burden, making Ye Qing's suffering even more painful.

  Until Ye Qing suddenly had an epiphany, Ah, how could he have forgotten the fundamentals of Shadow Fist? If he put on a mask, Heh heh, it would definitely work...

  Ye Qing took out a toy mask from the Green Leaf World and put it on his face. The sense of superiority that hid his true identity increased Ye Qing's overall strength, including his endurance to pain.

  Ye Qing didn't dare to linger, once again using the Refining Technique of the Revolving Golden Wheel. The fiery spiritual energy slowly burned within his muscles and bones, a scorching pain that made every single pore on his body ache intensely. Of course, Ye Qing could still endure this kind of burning sensation, but as soon as it entered his true meridians, he would let out a loud cry and faint.

  At this time, his abilities in all aspects have increased a bit, Ye Qing excitedly suddenly ran the Quan Lian Fa into his meridians, Ye Qing suddenly let out an earth-shaking scream, Ah, it finally went in.

  Although the burning sensation inside the meridians was several times more unbearable than that on the skin, Ye Qing's pain tolerance had also increased at this time. The suffering caused by the burning sensation inside the meridians was just within Ye Qing's endurance limit.

  More impurities were discharged, and the body emitted a foul smell of oil pollution. Ye Qing's heart was delighted to explode, after going through such a day or two of easy washing, Ye Qing was surprised to find that he was now light and agile all over, and his cultivation had unknowingly advanced to the ninth layer of Qi Refining in extreme pain. Now Ye Qing can be considered a true late-stage Qi Refining master.

  Ye Qing's mind was clear and his spirit was refreshed, with a powerful spiritual energy surging through his body like an avalanche. He was eager to practice the Shadow Fist technique, but in this incomplete world of Qing Ye, where the laws of nature were still lacking, it was clearly impossible, as there were no elements of metal, water, fire, or earth present.

  Ye Qingyi was overjoyed and directly left the world of Qing Ye, scaring his roommates in the dormitory with a loud cry. Fortunately, they also knew that Xue Shi was not an ordinary person, otherwise this world would have had three more mentally ill people.

  Wu Dalang circled around Ye Qing, who was covered in mud all over his body, and said: "What's with this rhythm, are you just passing through from the Qin Dynasty?"

  Ye Qing ignored him, took the clean clothes and went straight into the shower room, humming Qin Opera, comfortably washing off the mud on his body. In the world of green leaves, there was no water element, not even a cleansing spell could be used!

  Originally, Zhang Yulong was planning to go out and flirt with girls, Wu Dalang was preparing to go to the reading room to try his luck, and Tie Mu was planning to go out and eat some barbecue. But because of Ye Qing's appearance, they all changed their plans and quietly waited for Ye Qing to finish washing up and show off her culinary skills.

  Ye Qing stroked her ancient bronze-colored skin, feeling its astonishing elasticity. After an infinite self-loving caress, she put on the pajamas that were once a spoil of war from a middle-aged clothing store, and swaggered out of the shower room. She opened a glass door and arrived at her dormitory 338.

  Those three guys' first reaction when they saw Ye Qing was to drool, and they actually treated Ye Qing as a great chef. Ye Qing was in a good mood and naturally prepared a pot of extremely sumptuous and delicious super spicy hot pot. Everyone didn't care if they had eaten or not, and they all opened their stomachs for another big meal.

  Wu Dalang was praising the hot pot nonstop, while shaking his head and sighing. Now these guys were treating Ye Qing like a wealthy local tyrant who could cook well. Zhang Yulong directly gave Wu Dalang a slap on the back of the head: "Isn't the hot pot delicious?"

  Wu Dalang had two large meatballs in his mouth and said vaguely: "Mmm, mmm, delicious, delicious!"

  Zhang Yulong heard Wu Dalang say it was delicious but shook his head, and directly slapped him, causing a meatball that Wu Dalang hadn't had time to swallow to fly out.

  Wu Dalang is now not afraid of Zhang Yulong, directly slapping him in the face with a loud slap. After they slapped each other several times, they found that Ye Qing had disappeared and began to regretfully eat hot pot.

  Ye Qing naturally didn't have the leisure to watch them fight or pull a dull face, Ye Qing directly flew to the mountain valley where the two left-thinking uncles and nephews said the Green Leaf Peach Garden was located.

  It was already deep in the night, with dark and low-hanging clouds floating between the mountains, as if they were the best props for Ye Qing to summon the wind and rain. With a clear and determined spirit, Ye Qing's entire body felt light and agile.

  Ye Qing completely mimicked the movements of the masked man on the cover, his hands constantly changing into various strange gestures, then with a virtual pull, a huge gust of wind blade was released. Ye Qing had never produced such a large gust of wind blade before.

  The cultivation of the nine layers of Qi, this is Ye Qing's first time emitting a Wind Blade after his late-stage Qi training. Ye Qing had never thought that he could also emit such a massive Wind Blade.

  That gust of wind cut through the layers of dark clouds with an extremely strange curve, and that strange trajectory naturally brought out a burst of strong winds. The shredded dark clouds collided together with a loud crash under the blow of that strong gust, producing lightning as thick as a little finger. A torrential downpour followed, but on Ye Qing's body, there was a faint layer of light. Those raindrops all slid off Ye Qing naturally, creating an extremely strange scene. Ye Qing hadn't expected that when he used his "Summoning the Wind and Rain" technique, he would also possess the ability to repel water - what a wonderful little surprise!
