Body Refinement for Longevity: From Health Cultivation Exercises to Overcoming All Techniques

Chapter 145 Demonic Beast Spiritual Energy

What he didn't know was that Chen Han had to face far too many and too powerful opponents. If he didn't become stronger and fight his way up, he would only be killed by others and forever trampled under their feet.

Moreover, Chen Han has family, friends, dreams, things he wants to do, and goals he wants to achieve. He has no choice but to become stronger.

Even if he is broken and shattered, even if he is physically and mentally exhausted, he will persevere on the path he wants to take.

Just like the old manager said, persevere and stick to the path you want to take.

Inside the cave, a few torches cast faint flames. Chen Han sat on a stone slab, his magic power surging between his two fingers. A stream of light flowed from his storage bag and landed in front of him, revealing his true form.

This is a piece of meat, plump and juicy, and still fresh.

Without hesitation, Chen Han cooked it briefly and ate it.

This meat is incredibly tender. Apart from a faint smell of blood, it has a delicate fragrance. Take a bite, and the juices burst in your mouth, filling it with a delicious flavor. Even after swallowing, the aroma lingers on your lips and teeth.

Chen Han's dejected gaze softened slightly, revealing a hint of brightness.

"This monster meat is truly extraordinary; the taste is absolutely the best I've ever had in my life."

"and...

"7

At this moment, a warm current rose in Chen Han's stomach. Compared to the meat of the strange beast, the warm current generated by this demon beast also contained a faint pulse of spiritual energy.

If exotic beasts can enhance a martial artist's blood and qi and strengthen their body, then the flesh of these demonic beasts has two additional benefits: nourishment and the accumulation of qi.

Together, they offer four benefits.

Nourishment, as the name suggests, means to nourish his flesh, bones, limbs, and meridians.

Those who practice martial arts and engage in constant fighting will inevitably suffer from hidden injuries and chronic illnesses.

Just like some common occupational hazards, such as coal mining and manual labor, these heavy physical jobs may not be noticeable when you are young, but they are likely to appear in old age, and you will become weak and sickly.

Martial arts practitioners are not much different; they appear strong and healthy in their youth, but in their later years they suffer from various illnesses.

He was plagued by hidden injuries.

Even Chen Han, who is as strong as steel, was not immune. He had suffered many injuries in the past, and although he practiced Tai Chi for health, he was still unable to completely eliminate them.

There is no other way to avoid this except by practicing top-notch martial arts.

This is one of the biggest reasons why Chen Han is so obsessed with that top-notch martial arts and keeps asking around for it.

But now, Chen Han has found his own way: to eat the flesh of demonic beasts.

Monster meat contains unique spiritual energy, which is called monster spiritual energy in the cultivation world. During the refining process, monster spiritual energy has a nourishing effect, which nourishes the body, repairs hidden injuries, and ultimately makes it completely new.

Its effects are even greater than those of top-tier martial arts!

Of course, mortals who do not have the ability to draw qi into their bodies would not be able to digest so much demonic beast spiritual energy if they tried to consume it like Chen Han. It would directly kill them or even cause them to die suddenly. Even if a master of secular medicine came, he would be powerless to save them.

Secondly, it is to "accumulate qi," which is the main reason why Chen Han was willing to take huge risks to kill demons and cut off their flesh.

The essence of "gathering qi" is obvious: nurturing spiritual energy and enhancing one's cultivation level.

Although spirit stones also have this effect, they only contain natural spiritual energy, and their elements are relatively simple; although the total amount of spiritual energy is more than that of the same amount of demon beast meat, it is not comprehensive enough.

Humans need to consume grains, various meats, sugars, and water to maintain their health.

Of course, the same applies to cultivators. Their magical power exists within their bodies, sharing life and death with them. The strength of their magical power is directly related to their cultivation level. Once their magical power is exhausted, a cultivator is no different from a mortal about to starve to death.

The precursor to magical power, spiritual energy, is also divided into several types, namely the natural spiritual energy that is omnipresent in heaven and earth, and the spiritual energy in spirit stones belongs to this category.

This type of spiritual energy is equivalent to the grains and meat that mortals need to eat; it is the primary source of spiritual energy for cultivation.

Furthermore, the spiritual energy of demonic beasts, the natural spiritual energy absorbed by demonic beasts, is transformed into even richer demonic beast spiritual energy after being digested by the demonic beasts.

The last type is the spiritual energy of plants, which is the spiritual energy transformed from the natural spiritual energy absorbed by spiritual plants in the world, such as spiritual rice and spiritual fruits.

In summary, natural spiritual energy is the most important type of spiritual energy, and it is the pure and potent spiritual energy that is essential for breaking through realms. It is also the main source of magical power. Other types of spiritual energy are indispensable, but they account for a very small percentage.

Of course, most cultivators in the cultivation world don't go through the trouble of regularly replenishing their energy. They buy a type of pill that contains a certain amount of the latter two types of spiritual energy. Taking one pill allows them to go for more than a month without needing to replenish it, and keeps them from feeling hungry for more than half a month.

This pill is called the Grain-Breaking Pill. It's a pity it wasn't included in the inheritance; otherwise, it could have greatly saved me time and improved my cultivation efficiency.

At this moment, a warm current gradually surged within Chen Han's body, and the spiritual energy of the demon beast pulsed within him.

Without delay, Chen Han immediately sat cross-legged, facing the sky with his palms facing upwards, and began his cultivation.

On the other side, in the imperial city, at the imperial palace.

"Idiots! A whole bunch of idiots! More than half a month has passed and we haven't found a single clue! What have you been doing?!"

Faced with these so-called capable people who had spent ten or fifteen days searching for nothing, not even a hair on Chen Yan's head, Lu Tianren was furious. He resorted to both beating and cursing, verbally abusing them mercilessly.

"Aren't you guys supposed to be top-notch detectives? So many days have passed, and not a single clue..."

Lu Tianren approached the several constables, his face grim, and asked in a deep voice.

"My lord, the person you mentioned has really not revealed any clues. Even if you brought together all the top detectives from the surrounding countries, you might not be able to find him, let alone the few of us."

One of the middle-aged men lowered his head and said in a fearful tone.

"Yes, yes, sir, there's absolutely no clue about the person you're looking for."

"I've been investigating cases for so many years, and I've arrested at least thirty, if not fifty, of the most heinous and meticulously plotted wanted criminals. This is the first time I've felt so powerless. I'm even starting to doubt if this person ever existed."

An old man chimed in, his body trembling.

"Hmm? You doubt my information?"

Lu Tianren's voice was gloomy and oppressive, and for a moment the atmosphere was so oppressive that it felt as if the air itself was about to freeze.

At this moment, Zhuge Rushuang appeared so inconspicuous among the group. On the surface, she kept her head down, half-kneeling, not daring to look at Lu Tianren even once, just like everyone else.

In reality, she was more terrified than anyone else present.

The reason they failed to catch Chen Han was precisely because of her...

She secretly informed Chen Han and the others every few days, and during the search operation outside the city, she took over the area where Chen Han lived, deliberately avoiding that area.

Otherwise, Chen Han would have been discovered long ago.

Although they have a different identity, there are still considerable risks involved.
