Below the dense forest.

Xiao Huohuo looked up.

The master he had just taken suddenly looked up at the sky, a hint of melancholy flashing in his eyes.

As he was puzzled, he suddenly saw his master snap back to attention.

The master stood with his hands behind his back, his voice distant. His eyes fell on Xiao Huohuo, sighing with a hint of disappointment in his unfulfilled potential.

"It has been a long time since I last emerged into the world."

"Has the outside world only been left with the path of the martial artist?"

Hearing these melancholic words and looking at the proud figure before him, Xiao Huohuo was instantly shocked, his scalp tingling.

His eyes, which were looking at Chu Feng, were filled with shock and disbelief, as if he had heard something that broke common sense.

Xiao Huohuo shook his head, his words a little jumbled:

"According to records, hasn't it always been the path of the martial artist since ancient times?"

"Could it be that besides martial artists, there are other methods of cultivation in the world?"

He stared, waiting for the expert's answer with a mix of surprise and uncertainty.

Seeing the boy's expression, Chu Feng chuckled inwardly.

Good, the kid took the bait.

He had already believed eighty to ninety percent of what he said.

His identity as an otherworldly expert would also become more solid in the boy's eyes because of these world-shattering remarks.

Chu Feng's expression remained indifferent, maintaining his detached demeanor. However, a hint of disdainful amusement tugged at the corner of his lips.

"All the Dao laws in the world are divided into the Great Dao and the Lesser Dao."

"The path of martial cultivation is, after all, just a Lesser Dao."

"Even if you spend your entire life on it, you will still be limited and bound by it, unable to truly reach the true Peak Realm."

"As you said, the limit of martial cultivation is merely the so-called Grandmaster realm."

"The power you admire is nothing more than destroying an army single-handedly, and that's all."

And that's all?!

These four words struck Xiao Huohuo like thunder from a clear sky, leaving him stunned for a long time.

The super expert he looked up to, and even the entire Dongli City and the Southern Desolate Realm admired, was evaluated by his master as merely "that's all"?

Thinking of this, Xiao Huohuo's breathing quickened, his eyes shining.

He gazed at the man before him.

If even a Grandmaster was just "that's all," then what realm was his master in?

He couldn't imagine.

Chu Feng coughed and continued:

"This Lesser Dao is not worth mentioning in front of the Great Dao."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Huohuo could no longer suppress his excitement:

"Master, what kind of cultivation method is the Great Dao, and what is the state of a Great Dao cultivator?"

Seeing Xiao Huohuo becoming increasingly excited, Chu Feng smiled slightly.

"This Great Dao is the Path of Qi Refining."

"If you can enter the Great Dao, then the Grandmasters you speak of will be as weak as children before you."

Path of Qi Refining?

Xiao Huohuo lowered his head and silently recited these four words, while simultaneously searching his mind for information related to the Path of Qi Refining.

But he recalled all the books he had read and everything he had experienced since childhood, yet he found nothing. He couldn't find any memory related to the word "Qi Refining."

This unfamiliar term entered his sight for the first time.

He lowered his head and muttered to himself:

"Could it be that this Path of Qi Refining is something only top-tier experts can access?"

The more he thought about it, the more he agreed with this idea.

Although he was only the Young City Lord of a city, he was far superior to the experts ordinary people could come into contact with.

Having grown up in such an environment, he had never heard of such a cultivation method. This indicated that it was very likely a secret known only among top experts.

The clearer this thought became in his mind, the more mysterious and unfathomable the Path of Qi Refining seemed to him!

And now, he, a martial artist who hadn't even reached the Second-rate level, was actually coming into contact with such a thing.

How could he possibly sit still?

Xiao Huohuo asked excitedly:

"May I ask, Master, how terrifying is the Path of Qi Refining?"

Looking at Xiao Huohuo's appearance, Chu Feng's joy grew even more.

He wanted to make this kid believe that the path of Qi Refining was unattainable, something even the world's top martial artists could hardly touch.

This way, even if he failed to compile a cultivation method, Xiao Huohuo would blame himself for his lack of talent.

At that time, Xiao Huohuo would definitely resent his insufficient talent and feel it was normal for such a Great Dao to be difficult to cultivate and explore.

He would absolutely not suspect him.

This way, Chu Feng would still have a fallback.

After sufficiently shaping Xiao Huohuo's admiration for the Path of Qi Refining, Chu Feng slowly began to explain:

"The Path of Qi Refining has no end."

"The Initial Realm is mainly about Qi Refining, called the Qi Refining Realm."

As he spoke, Chu Feng held up two fingers towards Xiao Huohuo:

"If one can break through to the Qi Refining Realm, their lifespan will be greatly extended, living an extra two sixty-year cycles!"

"Stepping into the Great Perfection of Qi Refining allows one to live an extra three sixty-year cycles."

Looking at Chu Feng's three outstretched fingers, Xiao Huohuo was dumbfounded.

He knew that practicing martial arts could improve one's physique, protect martial artists from illness, and often make them live longer.

But martial artists were still limited by the lifespan of their physical bodies; they would die when they reached the limit of their age.

Regarding extending lifespan, he had only heard that Grandmasters could achieve this...

Moreover, the Grandmaster realm could only allow martial artists to live an extra fifty to sixty years, nowhere near the exaggeration of one or two sixty-year cycles.

The Qi Refining Stage mentioned by his Master, once stepped into, could actually reach such a terrifying state.

Unknowingly, Xiao Huohuo's desire for Qi Refining became even more fervent.

Chu Feng seized the opportunity and continued:

"As long as one enters the Qi Refining Realm, they can achieve Spiritual Energy Projection."

"The power of Spiritual Energy far surpasses the internal energy of what you call Houtian realm martial artists."

"Reaching the Qi Refining Mid-stage allows one to perform Sword Flight, cast spells, control the Spiritual Energy between heaven and earth, and unleash various wondrous abilities beyond your imagination."

At this point, Chu Feng paused for a long time, looking at Xiao Huohuo, whose eyes were shining and waiting eagerly. After whetting his appetite, he continued:

"Therefore, the Path of Qi Refining is also known as Cultivating Immortality!"

Xiao Huohuo was completely stunned, his breathing disordered, and his mind somewhat frozen as he muttered to himself:

"Just entering Qi Refining requires being stronger than Houtian realm martial artists?"

"Mid-stage allows one to fly through the sky and escape the earth..."

"Just reaching the first realm's perfection in Qi Refining allows one to live for three sixty-year cycles."

Shocked, Xiao Huohuo murmured, and it seemed like something clicked in his mind.

"Qi Refining... Cultivating Immortality!"

Immediately, his eyes became exceptionally bright. As if he had figured something out, he said to Chu Feng with shock:

"Master, could it be..."

"The Path of Qi Refining can lead to becoming the legendary Immortal Gods?!"
