On the snow-covered ground, the body of the exotic beast was sliced in half by the saber energy. It quickly froze over. The cold wind was still howling, but the three of them seemed to be very quiet.
"It's not that it's too weak. Perhaps you are too strong."
After a long while, Shen Lianxin looked at Lin Fei with a complex gaze and slowly said.
"Brother Lin, I've always had a question. Are you really still an innate martial artist?"
That saber just now and the one that split the avalanche, in fact, had already exceeded Shen Lianxin's understanding of "innate martial artists".
"We don't need to say much. Since the exotic beast is already dead, this is our opportunity. Such a big exotic beast, not to mention the three of us, even if there were three more people, it should be enough for our bodies to reach perfection."
Liu Yibai looked at the body of the exotic beast on the ground. There was a faint excitement in his eyes. The hope for physical perfection lay in this exotic beast's body.
"We can't stay here. In case, an adult exotic beast breaks through the ice, we'll be in trouble. So, take as much of this exotic beast's flesh and blood as we can. Try to get as far away from here as possible."
Lin Fei looked at the endless glacier. Even though the glacier had been cracked open by the exotic beast just now, in just a moment's time, the glacier froze over again, restored to its original state.
Although he could kill an exotic beast with a single saber, this exotic beast had not yet reached adulthood. That is to say, it had not yet reached the Foundation Establishment realm. If an adult exotic beast of the Foundation Establishment realm came, that would be a different story. The three of them would probably not be able to get away.
"Right, we need to leave here as soon as possible. First, take some of the exotic beast's flesh and blood. Bury the rest here. If the exotic beast's flesh and blood are not enough, we can dig it out later."
Liu Yibai drew out his longsword.
"Whoosh".
A sword light slashed out. He wanted to cut off a piece of the exotic beast's flesh.
"Sizzle".
However, when Liu Yibai's sword energy cut into the exotic beast's body, it couldn't even break the skin. It merely left a white mark on the exotic beast's body.
Liu Yibai decided to let the sword burst with Innate True Qi and stabbed it hard.
"Squish".
The sword finally pierced into the skin of the exotic beast, but only about a dozen centimeters. Dozen centimeters, compared to a several hundred-meter-long exotic beast, what use would it do?
If the exotic beast closed its eyes, Liu Yibai probably couldn't even pierce the beast's eyelid.
Shen Lianxin looked at Liu Yibai and said helplessly, "You understand what I felt before, don't you? Cutting the body of the exotic beast is something only Brother Lin can do."
So, Liu Yibai and Shen Lianxin both turned their gaze to Lin Fei.
Lin Fei stepped forward. He came to the body of the exotic beast, used his saber energy, and cut toward the body of the exotic beast.
"Squish".
The body of the exotic beast was indeed very tough. Even Lin Fei's Saber Qi couldn't easily cut through it for a time. However, Lin Fei's Saber Qi was plentiful. If one time didn't work, then two times.
Soon, Lin Fei cut the exotic beast into many pieces of meat. The three of them could only carry about one-third of the exotic beast's body. However, that was already quite a bit. The remaining two-thirds of the exotic beast's body was buried on the spot.
"Let's go!"
After everything was settled. Lin Fei and the other two immediately used their body skills and quickly moved away from the glacier.
The three of them ran wildly. Until the evening, they finally saw a snow-capped peak.
Halfway up the peak, there was a cave. The three of them went straight into it.
"Now we have two choices. One is to return directly to the northern city and then slowly digest this exotic beast's flesh and blood.
However, if the exotic beast's flesh and blood are not enough, we will have to travel thousands of miles, risk going to the glacier again, and dig out the buried exotic beast's flesh and blood.
Nobody knows what would happen then. The second option is to consume the exotic beast's flesh and blood right here until the body reaches perfection. If the exotic beast's flesh and blood are not enough, we can quickly reach the glacier from here, which is very convenient."
Lin Fei looked at the exotic beast's flesh and blood in the cave and said calmly.
"Of course, we should consume the exotic beast's flesh and blood right here."
"Right, even though it's a bit cold here, we are martial arts grandmasters, we can handle it. Achieving body perfection is the priority now!"
Shen Lianxin and Liu Yibai immediately made their choice, to consume the exotic beast's flesh and blood right here. Lin Fei also thought the same way.
"I have a body refining method here. It's a method left by Great Chang's founder specifically for refining the flesh and blood of exotic beasts. You can try practicing it. Perhaps, it can help you better digest the flesh and blood of the exotic beast."
Lin Fei gave the body refining method to Shen Lianxin and Liu Yibai.
This was just a common method for refining the flesh and blood of exotic beasts left by the founder of Great Chang.
"Then we must thank Brother Lin."
Soon, Lin Fei finished imparting the technique. The three of them began in the cave, following the method of body refining, and started consuming the flesh and blood of the exotic beast for refinement.
Lin Fei took out an ice cube from the body of the exotic beast. This ice cube was filled with the fresh blood of the exotic beast.
Lin Fei opened his mouth and swallowed it. Immediately, the ice cube melted and the fresh blood of the exotic beast flowed into Lin Fei's body.
"Hum".
Immediately, Lin Fei's body felt a warm sensation. At the same time, there seemed to be a very strange force, with the digestion of the fresh blood of the exotic beast, that entered his body.
It seemed to be causing some unknown changes in Lin Fei's body. So, Lin Fei continued to consume the flesh and blood of the exotic beast. He did not know how long it had been. The system's voice sounded in Lin Fei's mind.
"Your Refining The Golden Body, due to consuming the flesh and blood of the exotic beast, your progress has increased by 1%."
"As expected, consuming the flesh and blood of the exotic beast, there is a change."
Lin Fei was excited. Finally, there was a change. In that case, he would continue to consume it. Physical perfection didn't require any technique, only need to consume the flesh and blood of the exotic beast. Therefore, the three of them stayed in the cave, consuming the flesh and blood of the exotic beast every day.
One day, two days, three days, four days, five days......
Lin Fei and the others even lost track of time. They were consuming the flesh and blood of the exotic beast non-stop every day. Their bodies, unknowingly, gradually started to change.
For example, Lin Fei's skin became more and more tender and resilient. Even if one cut it with a sharp saber, it could not cut Lin Fei's skin. Moreover, Lin Fei's body seemed to be slowly exuding a faint, almost unnoticeable, exotic fragrance.
Skin as delicate as a baby, body exuding a unique fragrance.
Lin Fei thought of the words that were used to describe physical perfection. His body was increasingly in line with the characteristics of physical perfection. Moreover, when Lin Fei reached out his hand. The tiny dust in the cave fell, surprisingly, none of it stuck to Lin Fei's hand.
Untouched by dust! Or could say, pure and clean!
"Skin as delicate as a baby, body exuding a unique fragrance, untouched by dust... It's increasingly like physical perfection. But it seems to be missing something. It seems the body never went through a metamorphosis."
Lin Fei frowned. He had consumed so much of the exotic beast's flesh and blood, and so had Liu Yibai and Shen Lianxin.
"System."
Lin Fei called out the system to check.
Host: Lin Fei
Martial Arts Realm: Martial Arts Grand Master
True Intention Scroll: Perfection
Saber Intention: Perfection (5% progress)
Fist Intention: Mastery (81% progress)
Immeasurable Fist: Transcendence (50% progress)
Close Yet Distant: Transcendence (0% progress)
Refining The Golden Body: (99% progress)
The progress of refining the golden body stopped at 99%.
"Is the flesh and blood of the exotic beast still not enough?"
Lin Fei frowned.
"Huh?"
Suddenly, Lin Fei felt a pain in his heart. He seemed as if he was going to suffocate. He covered his heart with his hand.
"Thump."
The next moment, Lin Fei collapsed. His heart had stopped.
"Lin Fei!"
"Brother Lin!"
Immediately, Liu Yibai and Shen Lianxin came to Lin Fei's side. Shen Lianxin touched Lin Fei's heart. His face instantly changed.
"How...how did Brother Lin's heart stop?"
When the heart stopped, whether it was a martial artist or a Qi cultivator, there was only one possibility, death!
"Could it be, the flesh and blood of the exotic beast we consumed is poisonous?"
Liu Yibai also turned pale. This situation seemed to be unrecorded in the Hidden Sword Sect's archives. Just as the two of them were uncertain, suddenly, their expressions changed dramatically. They both looked as if they were in pain.
"Thump."
Then, the two of them clutched their chests. With painful expressions, they fell to the ground. Their hearts, too, had stopped beating.
For a moment, the entire cave fell silent. All that remained were the three motionless "bodies" on the ground.
On the snow-covered ground, the body of the exotic beast was sliced in half by the saber energy. It quickly froze over. The cold wind was still howling, but the three of them seemed to be very quiet.
"It's not that it's too weak. Perhaps you are too strong."
