"Can you help me with Body Refinement? Great!" Under the morning sun, Shen Qiang was very excited while training because he knew well that Xiu Ju from the Dark Department was a master, and her assistance would undoubtedly accelerate the progress of his cultivation.
"Do push-ups," Xiu Ju instructed indifferently.
Shen Qiang was slightly surprised because, in terms of intensity, handstand push-ups were obviously more intense than regular push-ups. However, after thinking it over, Shen Qiang did not refuse, although he had just lain down.
All of a sudden, Xiu Ju from the Dark Department sat on Shen Qiang's back.
The sensation on his back startled Shen Qiang.
"Are you ready?"
Hearing Xiu Ju's voice, Shen Qiang instinctively nodded.
Bang!
Instantly pressed so close to the ground he could hardly move, Shen Qiang felt he could barely breathe.
At that moment, Xiu Ju from the Dark Department felt as heavy as a small mountain.
Forget about doing push-ups; Shen Qiang's chest was pressed so tightly he could hardly breathe smoothly.
"Get up, you're going to crush me to death!" Shen Qiang, while banging his hand on the patio, cried out with all his might.
Xiu Ju furrowed her brow, got up, and returned to the small table on the patio: "You can't even handle this? Your physical condition is really poor. Don't you exercise at school?"
"I am a master of electronic sports!" Shen Qiang took a deep breath, and turning over to lie flat on the patio, said earnestly, "Do you understand? Dota, League of Legends, Counter-Strike, CrossFire, dnf."
Xiu Ju coldly looked at Shen Qiang, "So you mean to say that aside from attending classes, you were always playing online games and watching movies, is that it?"
Shen Qiang corrected, "It's electronic sports."
Xiu Ju, with a furrowed brow, said, "Now your cultivation has entered the Golden Core Stage and is quite stable. Compared to ordinary cultivators, your Realm Cultivation isn't exceptional or very bad; it's average. However, your physical strength is far below par."
"The force I just used was roughly equivalent to 1.5 tons. For a cultivator in the Golden Core Stage, managing a weight training of three tons is not a problem using pure physical strength. This means that although your cultivation has reached the Golden Core Stage—"
"Your physical strength is only about one-third that of other Golden Core Stage cultivators."
"If you don't quickly improve your physical strength, once you enter the Nascent Soul Stage, your body will be completely unable to withstand the powerful Techniques of the Nascent Soul Stage."
Upon hearing this, Shen Qiang frowned and sighed softly.
In fact, until then, Shen Qiang had always perceived the Medical Saint Inheritance as flawless.
Yet in reality, as his Cultivation Realm advanced—
Shen Qiang had already distinctly felt that the Medical Saint Inheritance was not perfect.
The most severe issue appeared in the area of Body Refinement and combat.
According to the records within the inheritance, the Medical Saint originally came from a Family, was extraordinarily talented and surrounded by powerful individuals.
Based on the records from the Medical Saint Inheritance, the Medical Saint only engaged in combat five times in his life.
Three of those times, with the help of powerful figures by his side, he smoothly won.
The other two times, one was sparring with a fellow disciple; the other was a duel with a romantic rival.
In both instances, the Medical Saint lost.
Because the Medical Saint, who was surrounded by such powerful figures, hardly concerned himself with whether his cultivation was strong enough.
As for conflicts within the Immortal Realm—
Either the powerful figures by his side took action, or he himself used poison, always unbeatable, victorious in every battle.
But in one-on-one duels, even possessing five Divine Skills considered top-notch in Mixed Arts, he never won a single duel.
Shen Qiang analyzed that there were only two possibilities that led to this situation.
1, The doctor had poor motor skills, not knowing when to strike or when to dodge.
2, He was surrounded by strong individuals, so he never really needed to train in that area.
Now, Shen Qiang had not only received the Medical Saint Inheritance, but it seemed that he was also following the old path of the Medical Saint.
Previously, he had Qian Shanxue by his side.
Now, he had Xiu Ju from the Dark Department.
They were both strong, and could ensure Shen Qiang's safety in the short term.
But what about later?
Could Shen Qiang hide behind their skirts for his whole life?
He needed to become stronger through Body Refinement.
The Medical Saint Inheritance was quite tricky.
The Body Refinement techniques in the Longevity Technique were mostly about breathing exercises, the kind more inclined towards Nourishing Life.
Without ten or eight years, thinking of training his body to the point where he could command the winds and clouds with just his physical Power was simply dreaming.
So from this perspective, the disadvantages of the Medical Saint Inheritance were not non-existent.
"How many mall points do you still have in Dragon Group?" Looking at Shen Qiang, who seemed somewhat disheartened, Xiu Ju from the Dark Department took out her phone, logged into the Dragon Group mall, and asked, "Do you have five thousand points?"
Shen Qiang was stunned, his face full of embarrassment.
He had frequently earned points in the Dragon Group mall before, spending one hundred thousand points on Star Moon Protection and then another fifteen hundred to buy the necklace Aili wanted.
But afterwards, since he had no particular needs, Shen Qiang stopped earning points.
"What for?" Shen Qiang looked at her, somewhat puzzled.
At this moment, Xiu Ju from the Dark Department brought up an item in the mall and said to Shen Qiang, "This is a weighted cultivation magical treasure. It requires five thousand points to exchange, and it can adjust the weight according to the user's requirements, from one ton to five tons."
Shen Qiang took a look; it was something that looked quite ancient, designed like a wristwatch.
"Is it necessary to buy this thing?" Shen Qiang was surprised.
Xiu Ju from the Dark Department laughed, "If you think you can train while carrying a car without attracting attention, then, of course, you don't need to buy it."
What a joke?
Training while carrying a car, unless Shen Qiang was hiding in the deep mountains, he would definitely be a spectacle wherever he went.
So Shen Qiang remained silent for a moment and asked, "Is this the best one?"
Xiu Ju from the Dark Department was taken aback, "This kind of weighted magical treasure needs the Gravity Array to be engraved into it, which requires high-quality materials and a high level of craftsmanship, so it's expensive. This bracelet can create up to five tons of weight, ten thousand catties, which should be enough for you until you reach the Yang God Realm."
"Moreover, if you are good enough, you should be able to save up five thousand points. Any higher, and you probably couldn't afford it…"
Hearing this, Shen Qiang chuckled. When it came to cultivation, he really wasn't high up, but in terms of earning points, with his cheap formula for Qi Gathering Powder, in the Dragon Group mall, he was absolutely god-level rich.
"Just tell me if there is anything better!"
Hearing Shen Qiang's words, Xiu Ju pouted and said, "Of course, there is something better. The Xuan Iron Heaven Gate costs ten thousand points, and its weight ranges from one ton to ten tons; it can even be used at the Mixed Element Realm. The General's Lock costs thirty thousand points and supports ten to thirty tons of weight; unless you're specially into Body Cultivation, you can't afford it, nor can you handle it."
Playing with her phone, Xiu Ju selected an item and said, "The best, of course, would be this Immortal Artifact, Heavenly Palace Jade Lock. Its weight starts as low as one kilogram, and preliminary tests show it can handle a maximum weight of over three hundred tons, even the cultivators specializing in Body Cultivation at the level of Dao Lord can't determine its limit."
Shen Qiang's eyes lit up, "That sounds good."
Xiu Ju laughed, "I advise you not to dream. Not to mention a novice like you, even the generals can only drool over it, as they can't afford this peak-level Immortal Artifact. It's not only ten thousand points you'd need but also three hundred prestige points!"
