Does anyone actually Believes That My Master Is A Mortal?

Hearing this disciple's extremely pretentious words

Chu Yuan fell silent.

Although he could spout nonsense like it was nothing,

all of his were just brags.

But this rebellious disciple's words might very well be true.

Collapsing space…

What kind of power is that?

Even at his peak in the Nascent Soul Realm, he couldn't do that, right?

Standing beside him, Su Qianyuan was unaware of the multitude of thoughts in his Respected Master's mind.

Seeing Chu Yuan not speaking for a long time,

he even thought that his Respected Master was disappointed with his current strength.

"Respected Master, your disciple… truly has no other way; my physical body can no longer be improved."

"If my body could continue to strengthen, I believe that in the near future, I could definitely cause massive spatial collapse!"

Su Qianyuan said through clenched teeth.

"You this…"

Chu Yuan said with a slight twitch at the corner of his mouth.

He didn't know what to say.

Continuing to strengthen the body, truly capable of collapsing space…

I'm all talk, you're genuinely remarkable.

Is Body Refinement that powerful?

Perhaps, I should stop cultivating and start Body Refinement instead?

Try it out, see if I can copy this disciple's Body Refinement technique.

"So, Qian Yuan, can you explain in detail why your body can no longer be improved?"

Chu Yuan thickened his skin and, feigning a nonchalant demeanor, asked.

"Respected Master, the reason my body can no longer improve is that there is nowhere left to strengthen. I've refined my bones, my insides, my skin—every part of my body that can be refined, I have already done so, and I don't know how to improve any further."

Su Qianyuan explained.

"Go into more detail. How did you do it? How did you practice Body Refinement? If you think you're not being specific enough, then write it down in a secret manual so I can have a good look for you."

Chu Yuan emphasized the words 'have a good' heavily, his eyes gleaming as he stared intently at Su Qianyuan.

"In detail… it's about absorbing Earthly Sha into the body. For example, with bone refining, all the Evil Earth Qi is channeled into the bones. Once you've overdone it, the refining is complete."

Su Qianyuan said simply.

Hearing this,

Chu Yuan subconsciously wanted to step forward and ask what Earthly Sha was.

But before he could ask,

Li Ergang, who was bustling around in the kitchen, suddenly poked his head out.

"Hold on, Lord Qian Yuan, isn't Earthly Sha harmful to the human body? I remember that if one is contaminated by Earthly Sha for too long, not only will the Spirit Root suffer damage, but even the soul will be eroded, right?"

Li Ergang asked curiously.

"Right, but I don't have a soul, and Spirit Roots are of no use to me, so Earthly Sha doesn't have any side effects on me."

Su Qianyuan responded.

Listening to their conversation,

Chu Yuan shuddered violently.

Harmful to the Spirit Root, detrimental to the soul?

Forget it, forget it!

It's better to cultivate properly.

As cultivators, we should be resolute in our convictions, solely devoted to the pursuit of the Way.

How can I be fickle?

Chu Yuan thought to himself, feeling on the verge of tears.

All three disciples he had grown turned against him.

And despite being betrayed, he couldn't even wrestle a single cultivation technique from them. The Eldest Disciple's technique was completely elusive, the Second Disciple's technique was beyond his grasp, and the Third Apprentice's technique was lethal…

Thank goodness there was still the Fourth Apprentice.

The Fourth Apprentice surely wouldn't betray him.

That being said.

Once Chu Yuan learned that he couldn't possibly acquire Su Qianyuan's Body Refinement technique, he immediately gave up on the idea.

He couldn't be bothered to say much to this disciple anymore.

Thinking to exchange a few words, Chu Yuan was ready to dismiss the disciple and be done with it.

"But you say your body can't improve because there's nowhere left to refine? Do you realize that every path is endless, and even I would not dare to say that I have reached the end. How can you speak so?"

Chu Yuan spoke slowly.

"But... but Respected Master, the disciple has been absorbing Earthly Sha for many days without any improvement,"

Su Qianyuan replied grievously.

"Just a few days and you're already running out of patience? Furthermore, you say your physical body has no room for improvement? Listen to me, go back and continue absorbing your whatever Earthly Sha, concentrate it all into a single point in your body. Do this for three to five years and then we'll talk!"

Chu Yuan, now visibly impatient, said something offhand, intending to get rid of this nuisance.

He had nothing to entrap him with.

This was a disciple who had stabbed him in the back.

Lingering in front of him, Chu Yuan feared his appetite would be ruined come dinner time.

"Respected Master, what's the use of absorbing into a single point?"

Su Qianyuan persisted.

As soon as he spoke,

Chu Yuan fell silent for a moment.

His offhand remark,

who knows what use it could serve.

But this third disciple was becoming increasingly annoying.

Couldn't he see his impatience?

Chu Yuan took a deep breath.

"Why not try it and see for yourself? Remember, focus on a single point in your body to absorb your Earthly Sha or whatever. Keep at it for three to five years, and it would be better to continue for a full ten years before discussing it again. Pay no mind to anything else; just focus on the absorption and that's it."

"Alright, Qian Yuan, you may step back now. Start with three to five years."

Chu Yuan instructed.

"Ah... the disciple will heed the Respected Master's orders,"

Although still perplexed, Su Qianyuan dared not say more when told to leave by his master.

After performing a respectful bow,

He obediently withdrew.

Chu Yuan, seated in his chair, watched Su Qianyuan leave in silence, shook his head and heaved a sigh of relief.

Dealing with Su Qianyuan was truly challenging.

However, compared to Zhang Han, it was still much more bearable.

At that moment, Li Ergang stepped out of the kitchen, carrying a dish to the table.

"What is it, Sect Master?"

Li Ergang asked cheerfully.

"It's nothing... just that disciple... never mind, carry on with your work,"

Chu Yuan waved his hand, not wanting to elaborate.

Seeing this, Li Ergang scratched his head and went back into the kitchen.

...

Elsewhere.

After leaving, Su Qianyuan went straight back to the cave halfway up the mountain.

Entering the cave, he was greeted by the overwhelming presence of the Evil Earth Qi.

Su Qianyuan remained unfazed.

Apart from the fact that his Body Refinement had reached a level where such Evil Earth Qi could be ignored, he had lived there so long that he was completely accustomed to it.

At this moment.

Su Qianyuan sat cross-legged on a rock inside the cave, his gaze fixed on the surrounding Evil Earth Qi.

"The Respected Master instructed me to absorb the Earthly Sha into a single point..."Nôv(el)B\\jnn

"Whatever, Second Disciple isn't on the mountain, and Eldest Disciple has left the sect, I've got no one to consult. Since the Respected Master has instructed this, there must be a good reason. Let's calm my mind and focus on drawing it into one point."

Su Qianyuan muttered to himself softly.

He quickly made a plan.

If he was to absorb it into one point,

then it would be best to concentrate on his fist, which was used in his fighting style.

In combat, he channeled all his might into a single blow from his fist, aiming for a one-punch kill against his enemies.

If it was to be into one point, the fist was undoubtedly the priority.

Having made up his mind, Su Qianyuan began the absorption.

Under his influence, the Evil Earth Qi inside the cave surged toward him, violently flooding into his body...
