After several juniors saluted and said hello, Li Yuanzhong did not hesitate and directly stated the purpose of his visit:
"In the sword fight that day, the old Taoist saw that Lu Li's cultivation level was enough to 'exercise the soul'. This is the last hurdle in the out-of-body realm, so we might as well break through it as soon as possible."
Lu Li immediately clasped his fists and said, "I have this idea!"
"Okay, then you can study the spirit of the old Taoist carefully and see if you can gain anything."
Li Yuanzhong did not teach anything directly, but let Lu Li try it on his own first.
Being so polite and well-intentioned, it would be disrespectful to be polite.
Lu Li immediately stepped forward, stretched out his hand to touch the old Taoist priest's arm, and passed through it.
This is normal, after all, the manifested soul is very much like a ball of illusory light and shadow.
But Lu Li also felt a numbness in his hands, as if a ball of electricity had passed through him.
Immediately afterwards, he wrapped the heart in his hand and touched it.
This time, it was impossible to get through. There was a strong repulsive force between the two, making it impossible to get closer.
After trying it for a while, Lu Li suddenly realized:
"This manifested spirit...actually has a physical entity!"
"It is made up of particles. It is thin but not illusory light and shadow, but a real existence."
Seeing that he had gained something, Li Yuanzhong stroked his beard and said, "You might as well give it a try yourself."
Just when Lu Li had this intention, his soul immediately left his body, and a ball of blue and white light flew out from between his eyebrows.
Immediately afterwards, he encouraged his mind and tried to pull the soul light ball into a human form.
After struggling for a while, I could barely pull the light ball into a "big" shape, but it would return to its original shape as soon as I relaxed, like a balloon.
Lu Li felt that something was not right, not to mention that the appearance was too weird, so he couldn't keep it up all the time, right? It would be more gain than loss...
At this time, Li Yuanzhong smiled and said:
"My little friend, haven't you already known your true nature and seen yourself? Why bother forcing yourself like this?"
"Clear the mind, see the nature, and see the self" is exactly the requirement for refining the mind and entering concentration!
"That's right! The soul is my consciousness, it is 'me', so why should I force it!"
After hearing these words, Lu Li suddenly understood——
The instinct of flesh-and-blood life allows one to anchor "I" in the physical body, believing that the physical body is the foundation of life.
The soul is just the consciousness separated from the body, an extension of the body.
If you don't think it is yourself, then your soul can only be a ball of light.
Realizing the problem, Lu Li quickly returned to his senses and closed his eyes to meditate.
The three women were present to listen, but they did not dare to say a word when they saw the situation, for fear of disturbing them.
Li Yuanzhong nodded with satisfaction, feeling that this man had a very high level of understanding and could make sense with just a few clicks.
When the soul leaves the body, what comes out can’t just be thoughts, it needs to be the complete “I”.
The complete "I", in addition to the thinking personality, also includes the "subconscious mind", which is the key to the manifestation of the soul.
Easier said than done, Li Yuanzhong thought, no matter how smart Lu Li was, he still had to study for another three to five days.
But just as he thought this, Lu Li suddenly opened his eyes!
A humanoid shadow emitting blue and white light flew out from between his eyebrows, it was his soul!
It still looks a bit unreal, but it has a natural human form, definitely not the forced look before.
Li Yuanzhong was extremely surprised: It was so fast!
Lu Li didn't find it difficult at all.
In his opinion, both the physical body and the soul are important parts of one's life form, and if either one is missing, one will be doomed.
If that's the case, then why bother? The soul is "I"!
Lu Li has never been a complicated person. He always talks about his sexual desires and being slept with.
As long as he is recognized as an enemy, he will have no qualms about destroying the city.
This kind of frankness and decisiveness is in line with the Tao and has a firm heart, and will never waver when it fails!
Therefore, when Lu Li left his body this time, he left his body with the belief of "I", and the "subconscious mind" was born in his soul.
The "subconscious" will instinctively maintain the existence of "I", and without deliberate intervention, the soul light ball will naturally transform into a human form.

Moreover, it will further shape "I".
Facing everyone's gaze, Lu Li barely had a human-like spirit, and unexpectedly quickly manifested hair and fingers.
The skin gradually adjusted to its normal color, and even the facial features appeared.
In just a few breaths, Lu Li's soul took on his own appearance.
He lowered his head and looked at his body, and he transformed into clothes of the same style as his physical body. His spirit became almost the same as that of an ordinary person.
Of course, just "almost".
The eyes of the soul have no holes, just two groups of faint light.
This shows that there is still room for improvement... But Li Yuanzhong was stunned:
"It's so fast!"
Lu Li's current progress would have taken a normal monk three to five years, but he did it in just a few minutes!
This is not some chance, luck can explain it... this is pure talent!
"Yes, only this kind of talent can subdue Qinglong."
Li Yuanzhong sighed.
But he himself is also one of the few great masters in the world, so of course he knows how big the gap between people can be.
He quickly calmed down and said to Lu Li:
"Congratulations, little friend, your soul has appeared! From now on, you can use your soul to drive your physical body to truly fly, and you can also wield a sword with your soul."
After hearing this, Lu Li quickly tried the flying ability that he was most interested in.
The spirit covered the entire body like armor, easily lifting it off the ground and gliding back and forth in the air.
In the past, I just relied on my mind to lift it, which was very awkward. It is not as smooth as flying now, and it can reach infinite heights!
However, there was still class at this time, and Lu Li only rushed to an altitude of more than a thousand meters before quickly falling back.
Seeing the young man landing as lightly as a swallow, Li Yuanzhong smiled and said:
"Practice is really interesting. I don't know how many novelties are waiting for me. Next, the little friend needs to manifest his eyes and add the finishing touches before he can achieve the great perfection of leaving the body."
Lu Li's eyes were still glowing, which was an area that needed improvement.
Li Yuanzhong suggested:
"My little friend just needs to move around a lot with the soul posture, and he will be able to draw his eyes in no time. I just take this opportunity to practice wielding the sword with the soul. This is some advice from an experienced practitioner."
This series of teachings really saves countless hard work.
Lu Li quickly clasped his fists and thanked him sincerely: "Thank you so much for your guidance, I've benefited a lot from you!"
"No need to be polite. In fact, the old Taoist also has some selfish motives."
Li Yuanzhong smiled happily and said:
"When you grow up and China's overall situation is stable, the old Taoist wants to try to be promoted to a saint."
For promotion to a high level, failure means death, and the old Taoist priests simply do not dare to take risks.
Fortunately, we have a peerless genius on our side, and we finally have hope.
Lu Li also solemnly said: "I will do my best and will never let you down!"
Li Yuanzhong nodded with a smile, then looked up at the sky and said with a hint of hope:
"If you show your holy golden body, you are qualified to fly into the sky. The old Taoist wants to go to the stars to have a look... According to the classics, there are cave ruins of ancient immortals on Venus and Mars. I yearn for it~"
Lu Li also raised his head and took a look. It would be nice to go shopping when he has some free time in the future. He hasn't traveled yet.
But now, one has to push both the god refining and the martial arts to the extreme.
In this way, once Zhenyangzi's elixir comes, he can directly start to advance to Xiantian, and then... manifest his sage!
Only by showing the sage can one transform from a chess piece to a chess player!
