Chapter 59 The Secret of the True Body

Chapter 59 The Secret of the True Body

"Senior Sister, you're back. I forgot to mention earlier, I actually have some medicinal herbs here—" Lin Feng said as he saw Vina return with a tray of herbs.

"Medicinal herbs?" Vina placed the medicine tray aside, gently shook her head upon hearing this, and revealed a gentle smile.

"Junior brother, you're very kind. However, our Body Sect has no shortage of medicinal herbs. We have a special herb garden on the back mountain, and the herbs there are all of excellent quality and age. You can keep them for yourself."

"I see—" Lin Feng nodded thoughtfully, then asked tentatively, "Then—does the sect also have many treasured medicinal formulas?"

"Yes, there is." Vina answered frankly, carefully checking Tang Ya's condition as she spoke. "Body tempering and strengthening the body, consolidating the foundation and nourishing the vital energy, are crucial for us Soul Masters with our original martial souls. Therefore, our ancestors have indeed collected and improved many precious medicinal formulas. Are you interested in this, Junior Brother?"

"I do have some ideas," Lin Feng admitted frankly. "Senior sister, let's not talk about that now. Come on, let me help you move Tang Ya to a quieter guest room to rest."

"Alright, thank you for your trouble, junior brother." Vina stepped aside.

Lin Feng carefully picked up Tang Ya and followed Vina through several stone corridors toward the arranged guest rooms.

On the way, he asked Vina a few more questions about the prescriptions. Vina was gentle and answered all his questions without reservation, confirming Lin Feng's guess. The Body Sect's collection of prescriptions was not only abundant, but also included many top-tier ancient prescriptions that were hard to find elsewhere.

After settling Tang Ya in the guest room and confirming that her breathing was stable, Lin Feng thanked Vina and then, without further delay, turned around and headed straight for the direction where Du Busi had just left.

There are still many things he needs to discuss with this sect leader in person.

After asking some questions, Lin Feng arrived at Du Bu Si's residence.

It was a spacious stone cave embedded in the mountain wall. Its appearance was rough and simple, but several pieces of jade with a warm glow were casually embedded in the stone wall at the entrance of the cave, dispelling the cold and dampness of the mountain.

He had barely stood still outside the cave, before he could even utter a sound, when Poisonous Undying's booming voice came from inside: "Lin Feng? What are you doing standing at the door? Come on in!"

Lin Feng responded and entered. The cave was quite spacious and simply furnished. Apart from the necessary stone table and benches, there were several wooden shelves piled with files and miscellaneous items, giving it a casual and unpretentious feel.

Poison Undying was sitting on a large stone chair, flipping through a bundle of files in his hand.

"Greetings, Sect Master. I apologize for disturbing you at this hour, but I wish to discuss some matters with you," Lin Feng said, bowing.

"Enough with the formalities, enough with the nonsense." Poison Undying casually tossed the dossier aside, looked up at Lin Feng, and raised his chin. "Just say what you have to say. Now that you're here, treat this place like your own home. Don't beat around the bush."

Lin Feng felt relieved upon hearing this. It seemed that the Body Sect was even more relaxed and at ease than he had expected, with few rules and formalities, and truly had the feel of a "great sect".

"Sect Master, once my sister's injuries have healed, could you please send someone to escort her back to Shrek Academy? As for me, I will stay here and cultivate in peace," Lin Feng said, getting straight to the point.

"Alright, no big deal." Poison Undying readily agreed, then changed the subject, "Since you're willing to stay, there are some things you should know. The Body Sect doesn't have as many of your Shrek Academy's fancy rules, so I'll start by telling you about the sect's origins and history."

He leaned forward slightly, his eyes revealing a deep-seated pride.

"The Body Spirit is an extremely special type of spirit. Ordinary spirit masters' spirits are mostly external objects—tools, spirit beasts, elements—essentially relying on external forces. But for our Body Sect—"

Poison Undying stretched out his large, fan-like hand, slowly clenching his five fingers into a fist, the knuckles making a slight cracking sound.

"What we believe in is ourselves! Our martial spirit originates from ourselves; it is a part of our body. Bones,..."

Skin, hair, internal organs, and even the entire human body can all become martial spirits, each containing boundless power.

He stared at Lin Feng, his voice deep and resonant: "Borrowed power is never as easy to use as one's own."

We cultivate ourselves! The body is our original essence, and also our strongest weapon. Refined to its peak, a drop of blood can transform into a river, a single hair can cleave a mountain. This is the Way of the Body.

"Our control over our own Martial Soul far surpasses that of other Soul Masters. Ordinary Soul Masters awaken their Martial Soul at age six, after which it's essentially fixed. But we are different," Poison Undying's eyes gleamed with a hint of arrogance, "When our main Martial Soul is cultivated to a certain level, it can undergo a second awakening. This is unique to us—a proactive and controllable super evolution of our Martial Soul!"

He paused, allowing Lin Feng to process the information, before continuing, "Even within the second awakening, there are varying degrees. The Body Sect divides it into four levels. During awakening, a light and shadow formed from one's own martial soul almost always appears behind the user. The color of this light and shadow is the key to distinguishing the awakening level."

"Black Iron level, combat power increased by more than 30%."

"Bronze level, combat power increased by about 60% or more."

"Thirdly," Poison Undying's tone became more serious, "is the rare Silver-level. It usually only appears on important body parts such as the torso and head. For example, Vina is a Silver-level second awakening. Once the second awakening is completed, when using the Martial Soul, the combat power can be increased by 100%, and a Soul King can unleash the attack power of a Soul Emperor in a short time."

He stared at Lin Feng and slowly uttered the last and most important point: "And the rarest of these is the Gold-level Second Awakening. Its explosive power is terrifyingly unparalleled; when unleashed, its attack power can even reach one to three times its original strength!"

"In this world, there are countless paths to cultivation. One of the foundations of the Body Sect's ability to stand at the pinnacle of Soul Masters is the secret of its second awakening. Every Body Sect expert who completes the second awakening will experience a qualitative leap in strength, and even the attributes and power of their own Soul Rings may evolve and transform accordingly."

"I see, that clarifies things." Lin Feng nodded, a hint of anticipation appearing in his eyes. "I'm actually looking forward to the second awakening of my martial soul."

"It can be arranged in the next few days!" Poison Immortal waved his hand confidently. "I will personally use a 100,000-year-old immortal herb to brew you a body-tempering elixir, and then supplement it with a secret technique to help you awaken!"

A 100,000-year-old immortal herb—Lin Feng's heart trembled slightly. Such a rare treasure would cause a bloodbath in the outside world, yet the Body Sect used it so easily on a newcomer. This undisguised respect and acceptance left him speechless for a moment.

"A 100,000-year-old immortal herb? This—is far too precious." Lin Feng hesitated for a moment before speaking, "I happened to acquire some myself at an auction—"

"Are you being too polite again?" Poisonous Immortal interrupted him directly, his brow furrowed, his voice loud and clear, carrying an undeniable air of authority. "Here, there's no 'yours' or 'mine,' only 'us.' The sect has accumulated these resources precisely to cultivate the next generation, to use them wisely. Giving them to you is making the best use of them; there's no question of value. We're family, no need for formalities. If you refuse again, this old man will get angry!"

! "

He spoke with absolute certainty, as if producing a 100,000-year-old immortal herb was no different from producing a handful of wild vegetables.
