The cave was very quiet. Three "corpses" quietly lay on the ground.
One hour, two hours, three hours... No one knew how long it had been.
Suddenly, Lin Fei's "corpse" trembled slightly.
"Thump thump thump."
A deep sound came from Lin Fei's body. It sounded like a heartbeat. At first, it was very faint. But as time passed, the sound of the beating grew louder.
"Swoosh."
One could feel, after the heart started beating, a large amount of Qi and blood flowing in the veins with a "booming" sound, making a huge rushing sound.
At the same time, Lin Fei's skin also began to crack.
"Crack."
The skin cracked open, just like an eggshell, revealing a layer of fair, delicate skin inside, glistening with a faint luster.
"Swoosh."
The next moment, Lin Fei opened his eyes. He quickly held his chest. He could feel the strong beat of his heart and even hear the sound of his heart beating.
Lin Fei stretched out his hand. There were many cracks on the skin of his arm. A numb and tingling sensation made him feel uncomfortable.
Lin Fei grabbed the cracked skin on his arm and pulled hard.
The next moment, Lin Fei's cracked skin was torn off directly, exposing skin as delicate as a baby's.
Moreover, a unique fragrance emanated from his body. It was somewhat similar to the scent of sandalwood. It was faint, but very clear.
Lin Fei abruptly stood up. He could feel his whole body was full of strength.
His Qi and blood, muscles, skin, etc seemed to be completely renewed.
"Rebirth!"
Lin Fei thought of a word.
"System."
Lin Fei directly called out the system panel.

Close Yet Distant: Transcendence (0% progress)
Refining The Gold Body: Physical Perfection
Seeing the words "Physical perfection" after the Refining The Gold Body, Lin Fei completely understood.
"So, to achieve physical perfection, one needs to be reborn. Consuming the flesh and blood of the exotic beast is subtly refining and changing one's body. At this moment, my internal organs, Qi and blood, etc., are probably completely different from before. Even, some characteristics of the exotic beast have been integrated."
Lin Fei murmured softly. His eyes were shining with a glint of light. No matter what he had fully achieved physical perfection.
Looking at his current characteristics. Skin like a baby, body emitting a unique fragrance, pure and dust-free.
Even more, Lin Fei's body was now impervious to swords and spears, unaffected by water or fire, and never sinking in the water! This was physical perfection.
Vaguely, it was a bit beyond ordinary people, equivalent to a complete rebirth. Only with such a body can one withstand the "Foundation Establishment". Otherwise, what to build the foundation with?
After all, martial artists and Qi cultivators were different.
A martial artist's strength resided within their own body. All the power was on their own. Therefore, a martial artist's body must be strong. So, to build the foundation, the body must achieve perfection and undergo rebirth.
Lin Fei's heart had previously fallen into stagnation. In fact, it wasn't real death but "rebirth".
Rebirth, just like a newborn baby, was equivalent to gaining a "new life". Not only Lin Fei, but Liu Yibai and Shen Lianxin were the same.
"Thump thump thump."
Sure enough, with Lin Fei's awakening. Liu Yibai, and Shen Lianxin, their hearts also started to beat one after another. The two of them abruptly opened their eyes. After seeing Lin Fei, they looked at each other again.
"Did we... undergo rebirth?"
Obviously, they also knew what had happened. For a moment, they widened their eyes. Looking up and down their bodies.
It was really a rebirth! Moreover, all the characteristics of physical perfection had them all!
"Physical perfection, this is physical perfection! This physical perfection can be called a true rebirth, not just a transformation of Qi, blood, muscles, and skin, even the meridians inside the body also transform.
This way, it allows us to burst out with even stronger Innate True Qi at once. Even, it makes the quantity of our Innate True Qi continue to increase. Our strength can naturally continue to improve!"
Both of them were very excited. They were already martial arts Grand Masters. Their strength was almost impossible to improve further unless they built their foundation!
But at this moment, after achieving physical perfection, they found that they still had room for improvement.
Of course, this bit of improvement was not really important. Because, physical perfection, represented they could build their foundation!
"Can we... can we really build our foundation?"
Shen Lianxin was very excited. He kept looking at his own white, tender hands, which were like the skin of a baby. He had mixed feelings.
Many years had passed, from being full of enthusiasm to despair, and then to a glimmer of hope. And now, he could finally build his foundation. He felt a bit unreal.
Liu Yibai, on the other hand, seemed very calm. He was a martial arts Grand Master of the Hidden Sword Sect. The Hidden Sword Sect had a very detailed description of "physical perfection".
Therefore, Liu Yibai nodded heavily and said, "Yes, with physical perfection, we can build our foundation. However, typically, to build a foundation, one must achieve physical perfection, True Qi perfection, and Martial Dao True Intent perfection, to have great hope.
But it's just a great hope. It's not absolutely foolproof. In our Hidden Sword Sect's ancient records, some martial artists who achieved physical perfection tried to build their foundation but still failed.
Building a foundation is simple to say, but it's difficult to do. It requires a martial artist to continuously compress their own Innate True Qi. From gaseous Innate True Qi, compress into liquid True Essence. This process will cause a huge impact on the body, equivalent to refining it through many trials. Those without physical perfection can never bear it.
Once the True Essence appears, it means that the foundation has been successfully built! With True Essence nourishing our body's Qi, blood, muscles, and skin, our body will continue to improve. Our lifespan will increase, not inferior to those Foundation Establishment cultivators!"
Lin Fei and Shen Lianxin felt a little stir in their hearts.
"Compressing True Qi into True Essence, huh? Thanks for the guidance, Brother Liu."
Shen Lianxin also made a fist salute to Liu Yibai. He was a solitary practitioner. If it weren't for Liu Yibai telling him these things, he would probably have had to go through a lot of trouble to know the secrets of foundation building.
"This process requires a large amount of support from the Spiritual Qi of heaven and earth. Therefore, it's best to have some formations that gather Spiritual Qi, or simply be in a place with abundant Spiritual Qi.
The entire north region is actually not suitable for building a foundation. I will return to the Hidden Sword Sect and prepare properly before building my foundation."
Lin Fei nodded. Building a foundation, of course, needed to be cautious. It's impossible to rush to build a foundation.
"But Brother Shen, you are a solitary practitioner. If you want to build your foundation and don't have a suitable place with Spiritual Qi, I'm afraid..."
Liu Yibai intended to rope in Shen Lianxin. But Shen Lianxin smiled and said, "Brother Liu, you don't have to worry about that. As Brother Lin knows, I accidentally found a ruin of an ancient martial arts sect. That ruin has plenty of Spiritual Qi of heaven and earth, I believe it's enough for me to build my foundation."
The three of them looked at each other.
"In that case, let's set off and go back."
The hearts of the three were burning with anticipation. They wished they could go back right away to prepare well and build their foundation as soon as possible and achieve the status of Martial Saint!
"Let's go."
With one step, Lin Fei left. He went straight out of the cave. In a few leaps, the three of them disappeared without a trace.
The cave was very quiet. Three "corpses" quietly lay on the ground.
One hour, two hours, three hours... No one knew how long it had been.
