Swallowing the Stars: Realm of Control

Chapter 66 Eastwood County

Luo Feng paused for a moment, his body stiffening slightly.

Why are you suddenly asking this question?

Wanting to be his brother and also his Daoist partner? This was indeed the first time he had encountered such a situation, making it somewhat bizarre.

"Brother Mu, please stop joking." Luo Feng shook his head.

"What? Is it because my body and looks aren't good enough? I pride myself on being a lady from a respectable family, with a top-notch figure and appearance," Mu Su teased.

Luo Feng had a headache.

He had never considered this situation before. After all, according to the rules and principles of life, it was highly unlikely that such a situation could be created.

They could be twins, but for them to become one consciousness is a bit odd.

but.

If a person has both a male and a female body, and can reproduce, then hermaphroditism is understandable, but heteromorphism also seems plausible.

Anything can happen in this world.

"We're about to arrive in Dongmu County. Is there any way you can change your outfit?" Luo Feng changed the subject.

Makino naturally prepared other types of dough as well. After taking them out of the spatial bottle, he immediately gave both bodies a new face.

"Do you still have any noodles? Give me a serving. I need to change my appearance a bit," Luo Feng asked.

Makino took out a card and tossed it to Luo Feng.

Luo Feng pasted the dough sheet inside, and miraculously, the entire dough sheet adhered perfectly and blended in, instantly changing his original appearance.

It must be said that some of the face-swapping techniques used here are quite ingenious.

"Actually, I don't understand. You can clearly change your appearance, so why are they still able to find you? Is it because of your special bloodline?"

Luo Feng felt this was also a point of doubt. Could it be that he was being treated in a similar way to Adamost?

"They found us, probably through some kind of bloodline tracing method. As long as they are within a certain range, they can be detected."

"However, you don't need to worry anymore. With my parents dead, the chances of them finding me have greatly decreased. Sequence bloodlines are very special; they are a separate bloodline and are not connected to the blood of parents or grandparents. Do they still want to find me through this bloodline method?"

Makino shook his head: "Impossible."

It seems they found his parents first before capturing him; otherwise, he wouldn't have fallen into their hands.

However, he didn't know what methods were used to find his parents, or why it wasn't those powerful individuals who took action.

Luo Feng nodded, secretly relieved.

This gave them a chance to catch their breath.

soon.

The carriage arrived at Dongmu County City, which, like other cities, was divided into inner and outer sections. The outer section was where some common people lived and settled, while the inner and outer sections were surrounded by high city walls.

The outer city and inner city are similar in style to a large market town.

The outer city was scattered and lacked a sense of planning, with the main streets being the city gate avenues and houses scattered on both sides; the inner city was uniformly planned, with streets arranged in a staggered manner, and residential and commercial areas were clearly distinguished.

After paying a fee at the city gate, we entered the inner city.

The inner city is safer, which is something Luo Feng values; at least when they are cultivating, no one will disturb them.

It took half a day.

The two finally found a long-term rental place and spent 500 Qi Sand to rent it for 20 years.

This is a residential courtyard covering more than 200 square meters, surrounded by a wall. Inside is a bare courtyard paved with bluestone slabs. Further inside is a simple brick and stone building with two floors and four rooms.

Next to this small building, there is a kitchen.

"Brother Mu, from now on you can live on the first floor, and I'll live on the second floor." Luo Feng made his choice directly.

"Okay." Both of Makino's bodies nodded.

Luo Feng jumped directly to the second floor.

After entering the room, he simply laid out a place to sleep; he didn't have many requirements.

"This will be my permanent residence from now on."

I obtained a lot of cultivation resources from Elder Luo. For the time being, I don't need to go out and compete for them. At most, I can go out and exchange some treasures for some Qi Sand.

If we get some more from Mu Ye, all of it together should be enough for him to cultivate to the half-step Bone Forging Realm.

Simply drawing Qi from heaven and earth for cultivation, even with the support of cultivation techniques, would take at least ten years, and at most twenty years, to reach the Body Forging Realm.

Even using the Qi Gathering Disc won't speed things up.

The process of forging a body requires a deeper level of Qi energy. The condensation of this spiritual body alone takes a lot of effort each time, so it's faster to use Qi sand.

However, even the ninth-grade Qi Sand doesn't contain much power. Spending tens or even hundreds of thousands of coins might not be enough to reach the Body Forging Realm.

This is also where the contradiction lies: it either consumes a lot of Qi sand or takes a lot of time.

Resources and time cannot both be lacking at the same time.

After quickly tidying up, Luo Feng landed in the courtyard.

Makino followed him out.

"Is your female body the same as your male body in terms of personality? Judging from your expressions, you don't seem to be the same person at all." Luo Feng couldn't help but ask curiously.

Makino nodded: "Although it's the same consciousness, the different bodies affect my personality and behavior. I usually prefer to speak in a male body, but when I'm in a female body, I prefer to admire myself. I'm quite satisfied with my figure, but unfortunately, no one cherishes me."

Luo Feng's face stiffened.

Could it be that this Makino is a pervert?

They seemed so refined and calm before, but now that they've gotten to know each other better, are they slowly starting to reveal their true colors?

"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. Next, I'll give you the body-refining method that my master taught me. See if it helps you at all."

Luo Feng's self-created body-refining method allowed him to refine his body to a level comparable to that of an ordinary Awakening Spirit Realm expert in just a few months.

With ordinary body-refining methods, it would take several years or even more than a decade to cultivate the body to a level comparable to the true Awakening Spirit Realm.

With this comparison, the advantages and disadvantages naturally become apparent.

"Come on, follow my movements, and then move your body and exert force in accordance with my thought process."

Luo Feng braced himself with his hands on the ground, assuming a plank position, and Mu Ye followed suit.

"The core of this body-refining method is the change of the body's center of gravity. By precisely shifting the center of gravity, the movement of every tissue and cell in the body is controlled, thereby achieving a tempering effect."

"The first step is to adjust your breathing. Breathing is key to physical movement; it's a means of subtly controlling bodily states..."

Luo Feng explained the details of his body to Mu Ye step by step, and accompanied the movement of his body, refining each step and emphasizing the breath and the concentration of his thoughts.

The entire sequence of movements, the complete path, took a full hour.

Although Makino's body was very strong, he lacked control and his breathing accelerated, which led to his overall failure.

Luo Feng could only follow his train of thought and give a complete demonstration once.

"Brother, the way you move and your thoughts work together is truly amazing. I know my body is very strong, but I can't keep up with that." Makino exclaimed in amazement.

"You said you can't absorb Qi, and your body hasn't been nurtured by power, so your resilience is somewhat lacking, making it more difficult. If you follow this method, your body should be able to strengthen further, and perhaps your cultivation will have a chance to awaken."

Luo Feng pointed out the key point.

"I understand, I will train hard." Makino's eyes gleamed, and the light in them even intensified.
