Chapter 160: Dead End of Martial Arts
……

When cold air and hot air meet, forming alternation of yin and yang, and convection of cold and heat, all kinds of strange phenomena will occur.

Such as vortices, storms, condensation of water vapor, ice formation, lightning strikes, etc.

The occurrence of these phenomena is actually a process of energy transfer and conversion.

Yuan Tiangang applied these principles in attack and defense, forming a variety of forces such as wind force, water force, marsh force, thunder force, and ice force.

Therefore, when Wu Wen fought against him, he always felt that his moves were strange and unpredictable.

If it weren't for his advantage in combat power, he would probably have found it difficult to deal with Yuan Tiangang's attack.

After figuring out Yuan Tiangang's abilities, Wu Wen no longer held back and directly used Feihe Hand's unique skill: Soaring Sky Hand.

He twisted all the muscles in his body and gathered his strength, then like a crane flying into the sky, he punched towards Yuan Tiangang, first breaking his aura and then defeating him in an instant.

"Cough cough!"

Yuan Tiangang, who was seriously injured and fell to the ground, insisted on getting up and said, "I never thought that you are so powerful now."

"But your moves should be martial arts!"

Hearing this, Wu Wen just felt that Yuan Tiangang was talking nonsense. What he practiced was martial arts, and the moves were naturally martial arts.

Yuan Tiangang struggled to get up and continued, "You can generate such amazing power purely with your physical strength. It seems that you are not practicing the Way of External Alchemy, but the Way of Martial Arts."

Wu Wen couldn't help but frown after hearing this, wondering what the other party meant by this. He always felt that he had something else in mind.

"Uncle Yuan, if you have anything to say, just say it."

"Hehe... cough... cough~"

Yuan Tiangang chuckled twice.

"Since you are cultivating the martial arts, you should give me the spirit pill so that I can refine the elixir of immortality. Otherwise, if you don't cultivate the way to become an immortal, after a hundred years, you will eventually turn into a pile of yellow earth."

Wu Wen naturally understood what Yuan Tiangang meant when it came to the method of becoming an immortal. It was nothing more than the paths of cultivation such as corpse-reincarnation immortal, earthly immortal, and celestial immortal.

The reason why Wu Wen has been practicing to strengthen his body is because he doesn't want to become an "immortal" who abandons his body and transfers his consciousness!
"Uncle Yuan, I insisted on keeping the spiritual pill and not giving it to you because I wanted to use it to cultivate my body and achieve the state of eternal physical existence."

Hearing this, Yuan Tiangang suddenly found it ridiculous, and then said: "How can the flesh body last forever? It's really ridiculous. Don't you know that martial arts is a dead end?"

Hearing this, Wu Wen raised his eyebrows slightly and asked curiously, "What do you mean by this?"

"I mean, practicing martial arts that relies on the physical body is a dead end and it's impossible to achieve immortality." Yuan Tiangang said firmly.

Hearing this, Wu Wen pondered for a moment, then asked doubtfully, "The elixir of immortality you're thinking about is to make your body immortal, so that you can live forever, right?"

"Who told you that the purpose of the elixir of life I made was to make the body immortal and thus achieve eternal life?" Yuan Tiangang asked back mockingly.

"Isn't it?" Wu Wen whispered to himself in confusion.

In his opinion, Yuan Tiangang used the radioactive substances in the remains of immortals to refine the elixir of life. Wasn't he just trying to obtain the body of an immortal and make his physical body immortal?
Yuan Tiangang chuckled twice, then explained to Wu Wen: "The elixir of immortality I want to refine is a magical medicine that can sublimate the soul and directly ascend to heaven!"

Upon hearing this answer, Wu Wen was stunned.

Only then did he realize that he had been too self-righteous. He had always thought that the elixir of immortality that Yuan Tiangang wanted to refine was the same kind of elixir he had always believed, a medicine that could keep one young and immortal after taking it.

Now that he had heard the explanation, he finally understood.

The elixir of immortality that Yuan Tiangang wanted to refine was a magical medicine that could develop the potential of the brain! Then, Wu Wen realized what Yuan Tiangang had said, that physical martial arts was a dead end. Why did he say that?
"Uncle Yuan, why do you say that martial arts is a dead end?" Wu Wen asked him.

Yuan Tiangang smiled and explained: "Don't you realize that all the methods of becoming immortal nowadays have one thing in common?"

After hearing his advice, Wu Wen finally realized that, yes, since he started practicing, all the methods of longevity he had encountered all required the abandonment of the physical body and then the realization of eternal life in consciousness.

"Why is this happening?" Wu Wen asked curiously.

"I'm not sure about this, but one thing is certain, all practitioners today recognize one truth, that is, the physical body cannot achieve eternal life!" Yuan Tiangang explained solemnly.

Hearing this, Wu Wen fell silent again.

He thought secretly in his mind, and soon he realized, no, this is not right, how can the flesh not have eternal life? Isn't the Miao people's immortal meat similar to the eternal life of the flesh?
Wu Wenke still clearly remembers that the reason why people die is because there is an upper limit to the number of times cells divide. If this upper limit is broken, like cancer cells, then people can theoretically achieve immortality.

Therefore, physical cultivation is by no means a dead end as Yuan Tiangang said.

But why did he say that? And all the practitioners think so!

Wu Wen kept thinking in his mind, but for the moment he had no clue at all.

I saw him thinking deeply about the problem.

Yuan Tiangang realized that he could not get the spiritual pill from Wu Wen.

So he dragged his seriously injured body and prepared to leave.

"Uncle Yuan, why don't you stay and let me treat you." Wu Wen suggested.

"Need not!"

Yuan Tiangang shook his head slightly: "This minor injury is not a big deal for me. I only need to recuperate for two days, so I won't bother you anymore."

Listening to his last words, Wu Wen felt that Yuan Tiangang had become somewhat distant from him.

In response to this, Wu Wen couldn't help but sigh.

The Lingwan is really important to him. If it were any other thing, Wu Wen would give it to Yuan Tiangang without hesitation.

But what he wanted was the spirit pill!
After Yuan Tiangang left, Cheng Chumo, who had been squatting outside the door, walked in cautiously and asked Wu Wen in confusion, "My Lord, what happened?"

"Nothing." Wu Wen shook his head slightly without explaining in detail.

This made Cheng Chumo even more curious.

Although he did not have much contact with Yuan Tiangang, according to some information he had obtained, Yuan Tiangang was not just a Fire Well Order in the court, but seemed to have a close connection with the bad guys set up by His Majesty.

Wu Wen asked Cheng Chumo to leave.

Return to the practice room again.

Just now in the battle with Yuan Tiangang, he gained a lot, especially Yuan Tiangang's use of aura.

This person is definitely the one who has the most profound use of aura among all the people Wu Wen has ever met, and is very worthy of his learning.
