Gou Zai Liang Jie as a Human Gu

Lin Mo wasn't particularly concerned about the zombie outbreak plaguing Qingshui Town.

If the sky falls, there will always be tall people to hold it up.

With such a strange thing happening in the prince's fiefdom, how could he, as a vassal king, not be anxious to deal with it?

If he doesn't handle this well and loses the support of the people, he will lose his right to rebel.

Lin Mo searched the bundle in his hand. Apart from his daily change of clothes and some loose silver, there was nothing else.

"A commoner is a commoner, I have nothing of value, not even a martial arts manual... By the way, what is my current martial arts level?"

Normally, nine perfect rebirths are enough to break through to the eighth-grade Qi Transformation Realm.

However, Lin Mo's situation is somewhat special.

In the blessed land of Dream Ruins, he combined spiritual power and internal strength, undergoing nine rebirths in martial arts, and also forged a golden body of incense.

The Pure Yang Heavenly Gang Child Skill was not rebuilt; otherwise, he could have been reborn ten times in the Dream Ruins Mansion and broken through to the eighth-grade Qi Transformation Realm.

Now that he has returned to the Great Zhou Dynasty, all his cultivation from both lives has returned and is superimposed on his new simulated identity.

Lin Mo felt the energy within his body constantly rising.

Subsequently, his bones and muscles resonated, his skin bulged, and his muscles vibrated... A powerful qualitative change was rapidly transforming his physical body.

All kinds of internal strength combine to form martial arts true energy.

Qi flows through the eight extraordinary meridians and the twelve regular meridians, opening up all the Qi channels in the body. As it circulates throughout the body, it accumulates more and more, like water forming a river, eventually flowing into the dantian.

Soon after, his true energy transformed into a protective aura, bursting out of his body. Lin Mo's upper garment was instantly shattered into pieces, revealing muscles that resembled coiled dragons.

He had strong shoulders and back, clearly defined chest and abdominal muscles, and firm, powerful muscles in his limbs. A faint golden light flowed under his skin.

Lin Mo looked down at his body, feeling the incredibly surging power beneath his skin, and wondered slightly, "How many times have I been a martial arts newbie?"

He underwent martial arts training again in the Blessed Land of Dream Ruins, achieving a perfect rebirth nine times.

Before this, it had been reborn four times.

The cultivation level is stacked, which means thirteen perfect rebirths.

Then add another step of incense and gold body tempering.

It is actually the number nine, the supreme number of the emperor.

Fourteen physical transformations!

The internal energy and spiritual power intermingle yet remain distinct, each following its own path without infringing upon the other, much like the Yin and Yang of Taiji, their power ever-flowing and inexhaustible.

Lin Mo felt great at that moment.

very good!

Better than ever before!

He immediately contacted the puppet Qiu Niang within the [Mysterious Heaven Treasure Mirror]: "What is the current state of my physical body?"

After Qiu Niang finished her examination, she said, "According to the martial arts, this is the Great Perfection of the Martial Body. If we consider it according to the immortal sects, it is the Great Perfection of the Spirit Body. It is a flawless, pure, and immaculate perfect spirit body. I'm afraid it will soon be time to undergo the Tribulation of the Mortal World."

Lin Mo's heart skipped a beat, and he pressed for an answer: "What exactly is this [Crimson Dust Tribulation]? Can one overcome it even without spiritual roots?"

The puppet Qiu Niang's figure blurred, like a flickering candle flame, ready to be extinguished at any moment. She said, "Of course, it is possible. Spiritual roots are merely an aid to refining Qi. With spiritual roots, one can better comprehend the Qi of heaven and earth. Without spiritual roots, comprehension is greatly weakened, which is detrimental to cultivation. Therefore, cultivators all yearn to possess spiritual roots, even if it is just [acquired wisdom roots].

"Without the help of spiritual roots, one can only rely on spiritual objects to comprehend the Qi of heaven and earth, but spiritual objects are rare and hard to come by."

Lin Mo suddenly realized why many masters couldn't break through and eventually entered the Dao through Qi cultivation, becoming Qi cultivators.

The root cause lies in the spiritual root's ability to comprehend the Great Dao.

In other words, possessing a true spiritual root can enhance a person's spiritual wisdom.

To put it bluntly, it's all about natural talent.

If you lack natural talent, you can only make up for it with hard work and diligence.

However, some things cannot be compensated for by hard work alone.

This is like asking an elementary school student to learn advanced mathematics and master linear algebra.

Only gifted children possess such qualities.

This child prodigy is undoubtedly someone who has mastered the true spiritual root.

Upon realizing these things, Lin Mo's Dao heart trembled and nearly collapsed.

"Damn it, I'm not afraid of him at all! So what if he doesn't have spiritual roots? I refuse to believe that one day, I will defy the heavens and become an immortal with my mortal body!"

Lin Mo's eyes flickered, and his confused gaze regained its resolve, no longer filled with uncertainty.

Boom!

In an instant, Lin Mo's body trembled violently, and his spiritual consciousness seemed to have finally broken through a bottleneck, instantly separating from his physical body.

His consciousness ascended.

This was the first time Lin Mo's spiritual consciousness had truly separated from his physical body without relying on external magic.

"This is……"

Lin Mo looked back and saw his physical body standing there motionless. His consciousness flew off the roof, and the entire town of Qingshui became smaller and smaller in his eyes.

His consciousness rose with the radiant red sunrise.

In a moment of sudden inspiration, he understood what he was going through.

Once you understand your true nature, the tribulations of the mortal world begin.

In an instant, having gained complete enlightenment, his consciousness broke free from the shackles of his physical body and transcended the mortal realm.

With a conscious mind, receive divine light.

What is divine light? It is the breath of heaven and earth.

At this moment, Lin Mo felt that everything in the world was breathing, from the smallest ant to the largest mountains, rivers, and even the entire universe.

With each breath, the world seemed different to him.

The mountains and rivers transformed into a sea of ​​Qi.

Qi is incredibly mysterious.

Qi is vast and boundless.

Looking up and down at the vastness of the world, Lin Mo felt like a drop in the ocean, as insignificant as a speck of dust.

After a long while, he came to his senses from the shock.

Lin Mo had a clear mind and knew that what he needed to do next was to choose one of the myriad Qi paths, circulate Qi throughout his body, and use Qi to manifest his magic.

Lin Mo looked around at the Qi of heaven and earth.

The three elements of Qi are Heaven, Earth, Man, Yin and Yang, and the Five Elements.

The Qi that resonates with oneself is the Qi that is most compatible with oneself.

However, this requires spiritual roots and cultivation techniques as a guide.

Lin Mo has no corresponding cultivation technique, no spiritual root, and not even an acquired wisdom root.

The understanding of Qi is very weak, let alone the ability to draw Qi into resonance with oneself.

"Is it really impossible to succeed without spiritual roots?"

Lin Mo attempted to comprehend the profound energy of heaven and earth.

Then it failed.

Without cultivation techniques or spiritual roots, the profound and mysterious Qi of heaven and earth before him was as if he were reading a wordless book of heaven.

To truly understand the principles, one simply doesn't know where to begin, let alone solve the problems.

Spiritual roots and cultivation techniques are truly essential requirements; without these two, everything else is in vain.

"The inability to resonate with Qi is not necessarily a bad thing."

The fact that so many masters in the Xuan Yu Cave Heaven were unable to attain enlightenment and become Qi Refiners suggests that there is a serious problem here.

Lin Mo began to have doubts.

With a thought, his consciousness returned to his physical body.

Lin Mo used his spiritual sense to confirm with the puppet Qiu Niang inside the [Mysterious Heaven Treasure Mirror]: "Qiu Niang, has no one in the Mysterious Jade Cave Heaven truly succeeded in refining Qi for ten thousand years?"

Qiu Niang paused slightly when asked the question, then shook her head and said, "In my memory, in the past ten thousand years, no one has indeed been able to refine Qi and attain enlightenment. If someone succeeds in attaining enlightenment, the heavens and earth will produce extraordinary phenomena, and all the cultivators of the grotto heavens will feel it."

"Hiss!" Lin Mo gasped.

There was definitely a trap.

The cultivation methods in this world are seriously flawed!

Martial arts are still the most reliable.

Lin Mo made up his mind. Since he didn't have spiritual roots and couldn't choose Qi, he might as well settle down and focus on martial arts.

Within the space, Qiu Niang's figure blurred to the point of being almost invisible, as the remaining power of the scripture had reached its limit.

Lin Mo watched the puppet Qiu Niang disappear, withdrew his spiritual sense, put on the [Thousand-Faced Human Skin], and transformed into the appearance of the Prince of Li.

After getting dressed, Lin Mo opened the door to the servants' room, and a rich fragrance wafted towards him.

Lin Mo was taken aback and looked up at the top of Yunxia Mountain.

"Are they still practicing alchemy at the Zhi Shou Temple?"

His intuition told him that the alchemy practice was likely to cause another uproar.
