12: Radio Gymnastics
After the System announced the explosive name of the whip technique, Li Haotian fell into a long silence.
It was truly outrageous. Why did the name of this Cultivation Technique sound so much like something a farmer would use?
A vast amount of information immediately flooded Li Haotian's mind, all concerning the use of various whip-type weapons and Magic Treasures.
Almost instantly, he developed all sorts of muscle memory, as if the whip had become one with him.
While Li Haotian was immersed in this mysterious feeling, Su Yao had already returned.
After they had a simple meal, Su Yao suddenly fell into contemplation.
Her Physique was so powerful, yet why couldn't she Revered Master it?
She knew how much power was contained within her body, but the problem was that she couldn't fully control this power; she could only guide it little by little and release it bit by bit.
If she could fully control it, her strength would undoubtedly experience explosive growth!
"Full and satisfied, moving around after a meal helps you live to ninety-nine."
Li Haotian patted his stomach and stood up, then prepared to stroll down the mountain.
Upon hearing this, Su Yao was stunned, her eyes flashing with a myriad of thoughts. Finally, she grasped a hint of Opportunity in Li Haotian's words.
The Physical Body is the foundation of a person. If a Cultivator is strong but their Physical Body is fragile, it's very dangerous if someone ambushes them or gets close.
One must temper their body while Cultivating, using Body Refining methods to squeeze out their potential little by little.
Only in this way can one become stronger, and their mastery and comprehension of the body can become more thorough.
After understanding this, Su Yao quickly sat cross-legged, closed her eyes, and entered a state of enlightened Cultivation.
Li Haotian looked at his Disciple, who had inexplicably started Cultivating, feeling a bit confused. After sending her back to her Immortal Cave, he went down the mountain for a stroll.
Before he even reached the foot of the mountain, he heard good news from the System.
“Ding! Detected Disciple Su Yao's mastery over her Physique has increased by 10%. Reward: Battle Technique World-Extinguishing Black Flame, available for Disciple to Cultivate, Host automatically comprehends to Great Perfection.”
A vast amount of information once again flooded into Li Haotian's mind. With a thought, a handful of Black Flames appeared in his heart.
The temperature of these flames was extremely high; merely appearing for an instant scorched some of the surrounding plants.
Black Flame is formed by a large condensation of flames, utterly black like lacquer or ink.
It possesses the ability to incinerate all things. As long as one learns the corresponding method, they can convert their spiritual power into Black Flame, provided they have the corresponding Physique or Spiritual Root.
Li Haotian, of course, didn't need to be told; he could use anything the System gave him. He decided to give this Cultivation Technique to his Disciple tomorrow.
Humming a tune, Li Haotian strolled at the foot of the mountain and soon encountered a drunken Disciple from another Peak.
The person was holding a wine gourd, swaying as they walked towards him. As Li Haotian was feeling a bit puzzled, the person suddenly launched a fierce attack at him.
And this person's aura was clearly that of Foundation Establishment Peak.
Li Haotian frowned slightly, but with his Early Stage Yin and Yang strength, he easily took the punch.
Then he directly pushed the other person to the ground.
Judging by the Daoist robe worn by this person, he was a Disciple from Tianzhu Peak.
If it were another Peak, Li Haotian might not have suspected any conspiracy, simply thinking he was unlucky to run into a drunkard. But this guy happened to be from Tianzhu Peak.
Based on his previous Early Stage Foundation Establishment strength, that punch would have certainly killed him.
This made it seem less like a coincidence and more like an assassination.
The Disciple fell to the ground and immediately passed out.
Li Haotian smiled, his gaze sweeping across the surrounding mountains and forests, but he found nothing unusual.
It seemed someone in the Sect wanted him dead. Now that he had cultivation, he could continue to Cultivate. As long as he was given time, he could handle any situation that came his way; schemes and tricks were mere empty talk in the face of absolute strength.
Li Haotian also knew that today wasn't particularly suitable for a walk, so he slowly strolled back up the mountain.
A hidden figure frowned, then quickly disappeared.
Early the next morning, Li Haotian stretched his limbs. Suddenly, he remembered the exercises he used to do during class breaks before his Transmigration.
So he immediately started doing the 'Rising Sun' routine according to his past memories.
Su Yao, who had Cultivated all night, opened her door and saw her Revered Master performing some strange movements. These movements looked extremely rhythmic and powerful.
With every gesture Li Haotian made, it was as if the Great Dao flowed around him. Su Yao possessed the Divine Phoenix Exquisite Body and was naturally sensitive to the Great Dao of Fire, allowing her to see things ordinary people couldn't.
And Li Haotian himself was the owner of the Great Dao of Fire Domain, so his every move was naturally observed by Su Yao.
Su Yao tried hard to learn these movements with him, but she couldn't keep up after only learning the second section, the upper body exercises.
An unparalleled sensation of soreness and numbness spread throughout her body, as if she had been marinated in a vinegar jar.
She was instantly drenched in sweat. Su Yao, not paying attention, fell to the ground, panting heavily.
Li Haotian only then noticed his Disciple, and immediately heard the System's voice again.
“Ding! Detected Disciple Su Yao has begun learning the Heaven Rank Body Refining Cultivation Technique 'Rising Sun'. Reward: Host's Body Refining cultivation gain doubled.”
Li Haotian was instantly dumbfounded. The 'Rising Sun' was a Heaven Rank Cultivation Technique??
It was just Calisthenics, wasn't it? How did it become a Heaven Rank Cultivation Technique?
Su Yao stumbled to her feet, a troubled expression on her face.
"Revered Master's usual Cultivation Technique is indeed a great Divine Ability, but your Disciple cannot learn it!"
It took Su Yao a long time to recover.
Li Haotian also felt a heat throughout his body at this time, which seemed to be a sign of Body Tempering.
He really hadn't expected such a thing to happen; Calisthenics could actually be used for Body Tempering.
When two people Cultivate the same Cultivation Technique, if one person is already proficient, they naturally have no difficulty performing it. But if the other person has not learned or practiced it, and is asked to imitate it immediately, they will face great difficulties and obstacles.
This was why Su Yao couldn't learn it in a short amount of time.
Li Haotian had memories from his previous life and was very familiar with these Calisthenics, so he performed them with great ease.
"Ahem, from now on, you will do Body Refining with your Revered Master every morning. You don't need to rush; you can take it little by little, as this Cultivation Technique is still too difficult for you."
Su Yao's small face was flushed, and she nodded vigorously. Following Revered Master means eating nine meals a day!
