Martial Saint: Starting with Accumulating Experience

Chapter 139 The Physical Body

Fetch water, add firewood, and start a fire.

A bronze cauldron was placed in the center of the fire pit, with boiling water bubbling inside. A medicine bag containing dozens of rare herbs was submerged at the bottom of the water.

The medicinal properties were continuously simmered by the raging fire, turning into a thick, dark red medicinal soup, with wisps of white mist rising upwards.

The aroma of herbs filled the entire room.

Chen Feng slowly stepped forward, took off his clothes, and plunged into the scalding hot cauldron.

The liquid instantly spread throughout the body, and as soon as it touched the skin, a burning, piercing pain shot through the pores and into every part of the body.

Almost instinctively, Chen Feng's body began to mobilize his internal energy to resist the high temperature.

However, he suppressed this almost instinctive action, allowing the hot medicinal soup to envelop his muscles and skin.

"Hmm, not bad. I never thought I'd be able to perform cooking myself in an iron pot one day."

Chen Feng carefully sensed it; this temperature was nothing to a Grand Martial Master in the Opening Acupoint Realm—it was warm and pleasantly comfortable.

If this were in my past life, it would have been cooked in a little longer.

Chen Feng: "System, come out."

[Experience]: 42356

[Dinghai Iron Armor Skill]: Initial Understanding (997/1000)

He immediately incorporated three points of experience into the discussion.

[Dinghai Iron Armor Skill]: Slightly accomplished (0/2000)

The body's vital energy and blood began to be consumed, which eroded Chen Feng's flesh, tendons, and fascia, and his skin became tougher at an exaggerated speed.

The higher Chen Feng's cultivation level, the more amazed he became by the system's wonders. This complete transformation of his entire body had no apparent source of power.

Chen Feng calmed himself down and began to circulate his internal energy to absorb the medicinal power.

The medicinal soup seeped into Chen Feng's body through his skin pores, was absorbed by his cultivation technique, and became part of his blood, transforming into pure energy that circulated throughout his meridians.

The lost blood and energy were replenished very easily.

Chen Feng continued to add points as he saw an opportunity.

[Dinghai Iron Armor Skill]: Entering the Inner Chamber (0/3000)

The medicinal power intensified under the intense heat of the fire, becoming increasingly violent and potent, surging deep into Chen Feng's body, cleansing his bones and strengthening his tendons.

Membrane, solidify the skin and flesh.

The medicinal liquid inside the cauldron gradually changed color, from deep red to light red, as the medicinal effects were continuously refined and absorbed.

Chen Feng's bones and muscles grew thicker and thicker, and he could vaguely feel that all the muscles in his body had grown larger.

With just a slight exertion, the biceps bulge out like mountains, as if a violent force is brewing within them.

A glint of light flashed in Chen Feng's eyes.

Wow! That's incredible!

As a result, Chen Feng felt the temperature inside the cauldron gradually cool down.

This is an illusion created when the skin and flesh solidify, isolating them from cold and heat, and impervious to water and fire.

The medicinal soup also became increasingly clear.

With a slight thought, Chen Feng used his true energy to pull up the medicine packet beside him and add it to the cauldron.

Then he channeled his inner energy into the firewood pile beneath the cauldron to fuel the fire.

"System, add more points."

The scalding medicinal liquid continuously washed over Chen Feng's skin and flesh, gradually expelling the stagnant qi from his body, which then dissipated as wisps of white vapor.

A raging fire burns at the bottom of the cauldron, its intensity steady and maintaining a stable temperature.

A blazing fire heats the cauldron, while boiling water is used to simmer the medicine.

The medicinal properties penetrate the skin continuously.

For Chen Feng, this medicinal bath, though seemingly dangerous, was actually like a nutrient reservoir enveloping him, warm and comfortable.

It provides a continuous source of energy.

On the contrary, the system's added points brought a sense of weakness, fatigue, and intense pain during the body transformation process.

As the level of Dinghai Iron Armor Skill deepened, the excruciating pain accumulated layer by layer.

The flesh felt as if it were being scorched by raging fire and repeatedly pounded by a giant hammer; every inch of the bones and muscles groaned and trembled.

Chen Feng silently endured it; without enduring the bitter cold, how could the plum blossoms exude their fragrant scent?

In the cauldron, beneath the crimson medicinal soup.

Chen Feng's body grew increasingly robust and broad, his shoulders and back gradually widened, and the muscles in his limbs gradually bulged, making his features more defined.

One packet, two packets...dozens of packets of herbs were used up.

Chen Feng's muscles became increasingly full and bulging, his tendons and bones bulging, his muscles were clearly defined, his physique was as strong as a mountain, and his body was extremely imposing.

He has visibly gained weight.

"Buzz"

A feeling of weakness washed over me like a tidal wave.

The medicinal liquid in the cauldron alone was initially insufficient to cover the cost of adding points.

Chen Feng immediately used his true energy to precisely pour out the Body Tempering Pills from the porcelain bottle, one by one.

Control the pill to hover in mid-air in front of you.

Open your mouth and swallow one.

The medicinal power exploded within his body, and Chen Feng's formidable absorption ability came into play, instantly replenishing the qi and blood depleted by the Dinghai Iron Armor Technique.

Continue to push forward with additional steps.

Boiling the medicine packets and swallowing the pills, time slowly passed.

The Dinghai Iron Armor Skill is refined layer by layer.

Chen Feng's skin and flesh became increasingly tough, and his bones became increasingly heavy and hard.

The body's Qi and blood become abundant and continuous, and the foundation of the physical body becomes solid and stable at a visible speed.

When he reached the pinnacle of his skill, Chen Feng's physical body became full and robust, his physique imposing and solid, his muscles firm and bulging, and his demeanor powerful and domineering.

His whole body exudes a powerful, pent-up energy.

Chen Feng estimated that Lu Kui was at roughly this level, a bit higher than "entering the inner circle".

"Alright, let's go all out!" Chen Feng's eyes narrowed as he swallowed the remaining Body Tempering Pills.

[Experience]: 28353

[Dinghai Iron Armor Skill]: Perfected (5000/5000)

After an unknown amount of time, the medicinal power in the cauldron gradually dissipated, and the temperature of the boiling water slowly dropped.

Chen Feng slowly opened his eyes, a glint of light flashing in them, and the white mist around him suddenly dissipated.

He reached out and braced himself against the bottom of the cauldron, standing up with a series of cracking sounds from his joints.

Stepping out of the bronze cauldron, his body was burning hot, his blood and qi surged, and his bones clanged as if refined iron were clashing.

Chen Feng's skin glowed with a faint silvery-white luster, as if he were wearing a thin veil. This was the result of his Iron Armor Skill being perfected.

The most exaggerated thing is his muscles. Now Chen Feng's arms are almost as thick as his thighs before he got a little more fat!

Chen Feng clenched his fists, his knuckles cracking, feeling a surge of violent power coursing through his body.

When he walked out of the fire room, he felt that the door frame had become much shorter and narrower.

He walked back to his study, picked up the Xuan Tie sword, and slashed his own body.

A clang suddenly produced a piercing sound, like metal striking stone.

Chen Feng was overjoyed.

The thin, silvery-white veil covering his body kept the sword blade firmly out.

This is not protective true qi, but it is several times stronger than protective true qi in terms of defense!

However, his muscles and skin were as solid as if cast in iron, as if he were wearing an invisible iron armor. Even without using any true energy, weapons could hardly break through his defenses and cause him any harm.

Worth it! Those 15,000 experience points were totally worth it!

A look of joy flashed in Chen Feng's deep eyes, and then he shouted, "Collect!"

The Iron Armor of Dinghai can be used at will.

Bang!Bang!Bang!

With a few muffled thuds, his body collapsed inward, all the swollen muscles in his body were retracted and condensed, and his figure returned to a balanced and upright posture.

Returning to simplicity.

This is the perfect state of the Dinghai Iron Armor Skill.

Only Chen Feng himself knew that this seemingly ordinary body had long been forged into an extremely strong iron body, with its flesh, blood, tendons, and bones condensed into immense strength.

His skin and flesh were as solid as refined iron, his tendons and bones were dense, and his muscle lines were steady and refined, without revealing any sharpness.

Chen Feng took out a bronze mirror, examined himself in the mirror, and became more and more satisfied with his reflection.
