This idea is very strange.

Lu Yuan frowned.

He does have some extraordinary life materials at hand, such as salamanders, unicorn horns (he secretly ate them), ice unicorn cores, etc.

He has eaten these things.

But I have never felt the so-called "qi"!

If "martial skills" could be obtained so easily, humans and the lizardmen of the Rize Civilization should have discovered this method long ago.

"It should require the existence of a spirit, right? That is, the soul of the monster." The old cat said suddenly.

"Qi is the medium between the soul and the body. If a living thing dies, the Qi will dissipate very quickly."

"That's right, we have a specialized profession of 'pre-spiritualist' who can see the soul and seal it."

"In the beginning, everyone who wanted to obtain martial arts skills had to swallow spirits to obtain it."

"When a spirit possesses a person, it can produce a feeling of 'qi'." Sha Kan'er said, "But the 'qi' of many monsters is often too violent. If it rushes a little, the person will become a fool."

"So it's not easy to acquire martial arts skills. Nine times out of ten, you will fail."

Lu Yuan nodded slightly, and he understood a general idea.

In other words, the soul of an animal must be possessed by a human being in order to learn "martial arts".

"Isn't this letting the souls of other animals come to take away me?" The more Lu Yuan thought about it, the more he couldn't stand it.

This method has a high mortality rate and is a bit abnormal, so it is completely normal for humans not to notice it.

As for Lu Yuan's profession, the only person who can see souls is Miss Conch.

Lu Yuan himself cannot see, nor can he affect the "spirit"... In his out-of-body state, he can see the soul, but he has no ability to seal the soul.

"Then how did you acquire martial arts? When the failure rate is so high."

Shakaner said with a hint of hoarseness: "It is indeed very difficult to learn martial arts at the beginning. You often lose your wisdom and become wild."

"But later I discovered that the soul of a person after death can actually assist in learning martial arts..."

"And the success rate will be higher, and it can even be reused... Therefore, the souls of ancestors can be regarded as the heritage of a village."

Lu Yuan was stunned and swallowed hard.

From the perspective of earthlings, this method is somewhat evil.

But for the people of the Sarai clan, it is a natural thing. After all, the social environment determines morality. Everyone does this, so there is nothing to be taboo about.

Before many old people die, they will ask "pre-spirits" to separate their souls and perform a series of purifications to remove all memories.

Then pass on your own "martial skills" to future generations.

As a result, the number of "martial arts" will increase.

This is also the main reason why this civilization developed the culture of "ancestor worship" - all the strength is passed down from the ancestors, is it not allowed to be worshiped?

But Lu Yuan was silent as never before.

He finally understood why this civilization had not developed technology.

Because once this kind of thing happens, it will be obvious that the strong will plunder the weak. If killing people can snatch "martial arts", the huge benefits will obviously make people take risks.

This led to long-term internal friction in the civilization, making it difficult to produce real technology.

"Your civilization has a lot of wars, right?"

"Haha..." These Shali people smiled awkwardly.

"It's a very interesting method." Old Mao whispered to the side, "but there should be a lot of technical details in it. Old Lu, do you also want to learn the form technique and the qi technique now?"

"You are already full now. If you learn another one, won't your soul be solidified again?"

Lu Yuan was silent for a moment and asked: "Do you have any soul solidification phenomenon there?"

"What is...soul solidification?"

"After learning a lot of martial arts, my strength suddenly increased a lot, and then I couldn't learn anymore."

"Yes, yes! That's called the Xiantian Grand Master!!"

Shakaner slapped his head and said with some envy: "After learning about six to nine martial arts, it is possible to become an innate grand master, and then the strength will be enhanced in all aspects!"

"There was no learning after that."

He sighed again: "Well, the difficulty of learning a martial skill is constantly increasing. Even if you have the inheritance of your ancestors, it is still easy to be turned into an idiot by that energy."

"You must practice the 'Basic Body Refining Technique' to a certain level before you can learn one more martial skill."

"It's difficult for a small tribe like ours. There hasn't been a single innate strong person in hundreds of years. We can only learn what we have."

"And those with outstanding qualifications in the empire can also plan martial arts to maximize their combat power and then break through their innate abilities."

This conversation felt like a chicken talking to a duck.

Lu Yuan's side is scientism, while Shali Civilization is pure empiricism. Terms like "innate" make people feel uncomfortable.

However, the overall information is comparable.

"After breaking through the innateness, how about continuing to learn?"

How could Shakaner answer such a tricky question? With a grimace on his face, he thought for a long time and shook his head: "The amount that can be learned is destined by God. Once you break through, you will not be able to learn."

"I don't recall exceptions being made."

This answer is also in line with Lu Yuan's understanding.

"Wait... that's not the case either!" He stumbled and said, "There are some simple martial arts that can be simulated using basic physical training techniques. But I just heard about it. I don't know what it is like."

Lu Yuan and Lao Mao looked at each other.

According to the description of the Shali people, the essence of form techniques and qi techniques is the movement of "qi".

Therefore, you can use high-level "extraordinary fire" for simulation - because extraordinary fire is a relatively advanced qi skill.

But the level of this "simulation" requirement may be relatively high, and it is not something he can achieve now.

"This news is quite useful...what extraordinary fire can do, eternal fire should also be able to do."

He asked again: "Can you show me your martial arts skills?"

The militia captain nodded and stood up: "Harden!"

All the muscles in his body suddenly tightened, and his whole body was like a block of iron.

"Hardening" is a form skill that can greatly improve the ability to resist blows, including internal organ resistance.

Lu Yuan didn't have clairvoyance ability. After looking at it for a long time, he couldn't figure out what was going on.

[I can...I can barely see the flow of Qi.] Conch suddenly said, [It's just a bit complicated, I don't think you can simulate it now. Let me draw a picture for you.]

Lu Yuan complained in his heart: "You are really too versatile, aren't you?"

He turned around and asked, "So, what's going on with the empire?"

"The empire is a big country that has been inherited for thousands of years. Its full name is the Mavela Empire."

"We, the Sarai clan, only have a few hundred thousand people. The empire may have a population of tens or hundreds of millions."

"There are many masters and countless strong ones."

"Most of the knowledge is scraps passed down from the empire."

"Sigh, I don't know where the empire ranks when it comes to Pangu Continent..."

Lu Yuan thought for a moment, but finally chose not to tell the truth...

It's better to leave the other person with a thought.

After chatting like this for a few minutes, Shakaner presented a simple brochure with some words from a foreign civilization written on it. It was gold-plated and very luxurious.

According to him, he won it in the Imperial Colosseum.

When talking about this, he looked proud: "I chopped down a wolf and scorpion!"

"Even if I die, this booklet alone is enough to be enshrined in the ancestral hall."

There are also many images drawn on the pages of the book, including the structure of acupuncture points on the human body and some weird and strange symbols. One of the pictures even depicts a small dot in the human brain, shining like the sun.

This is obviously an extraordinary kind of fire!

Lu Yuan's heart beat violently. It took no effort to break through the iron shoes and find nowhere. This... is this actually a method of cultivating extraordinary fire?

He couldn't wait to turn to the next page, and it really described the breakthrough method of extraordinary fire!

Intelligent life will always move in the direction that requires the least effort. The method recorded in this booklet also opens up a "next world".

Compared with the method of Meida Civilization, there are some small differences in details.

But the general idea is the same.

Lu Yuan turned to the next page with trembling hands.

Sure enough, there is still content!!

It has intricate pictures drawn on it and is filled with words as big as ants.

That's... a way to make a further breakthrough?!

How to break through from level three to level four!

Lu Yuan was suddenly stunned, and he couldn't help but feel a little confused and slightly sad deep in his heart.

The so-called impermanence of fate is nothing less than this.

He went from the Meda Civilization, to the Lize Civilization, and then to the Lize Civilization's spaceship.

Then to the green civilization of the Sky City...

I have been searching hard for further breakthroughs, but I can’t find them...

Sometimes, he is really anxious.

He was already at level three on his first thousand days, and now he is still at level three after almost six thousand days!

But there's no point in being anxious, it's just mental exhaustion.

Unexpectedly, in this corner, in the hands of a very weak civilization with no budding technology, it was obtained without any effort!

Lu Yuan sighed and looked at the clouds in the sky. He always felt that his efforts were meaningless and were not as good as luck...

He was just a tiny bit away from having a "collapse artist" moment.

Fortunately, this information came not too late.

For him, it's just right.

Lu Yuan said in a heavy tone: "This book is very important to me. I owe you a favor. I need to borrow some time from it."

"If you need any help from me, just ask."

Everyone in the Shali clan breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Lu Yuan finally said these words.

They gave so much, didn't they just want a promise from this great master?

Of course, a promise is just a promise. If you push it too far, you will only be asking for trouble.

So these people were also thinking about what kind of help they should ask Lu Yuan to do.

It's about defeating a monster and looking for some water.

Or...what else are you busy with?
