Its current height has reached about three meters, more than twice its original size.

Apart from its height,

the feather texture, claw wrinkles, and even the delicate blood vessels near its pupils are clearly visible, much clearer than before.

It's as if switching from an old mobile phone to a high-definition smartphone, the change in resolution is particularly noticeable.

The enlargement of the eagle symbolized a significant enhancement in Lou Yi's divine sense.

In these three years, he had advanced the free magic 'Yin Qi Arrow' he received to the realm of perfection.

With each advancement, his divine sense was enhanced, just like how advancing in martial skills could enhance the physical body in the past.

"Release."

Lou Yi casually waved his hand.

In the mid-air ahead, three gray qi arrows similar in shape to arrows appeared and then shot forward with a 'whoosh, whoosh, whoosh'.

The patch of wild grass they struck quickly withered and turned dry, life rapidly fading away, soon turning into a heap of ashes.

The use of Yin Qi Arrow had a remarkable similarity to True Strength Breaking Body.

Its eerie corrosive characteristic and the extreme yang and hardness destructive nature of true strength were two extremes.

Of course, purely in terms of destructive power, true strength in Lou Yi's mind could resist late-stage Qi Refining magic, which was far beyond the reach of Yin Qi Arrow.

However, True Strength Breaking Body was Lou Yi's trump card, not easily revealed. Normally, he could use Yin Qi Arrow to confront the enemy as a cover.

Lou Yi looked at the attribute panel:

[Energy: 32386]

After three years, there has been considerable change in the attribute panel.

The biggest change was in the realm.

On the path of the martial artist inherited from Wangjiang, he has completely unlocked the Five Acupoints, achieving cultivation perfection.

The realms above, due to surpassing the attribute panel's comprehension, were not revealed, simply indicated as Martial Master Peak.

However, progress has not completely halted.

Now practicing the Yellow Extreme Breathing Technique daily, he can still increase his proficiency by one point every five days.

Just without direction, if no path forward is found, one day it will inevitably come to a complete halt.

On the path of the martial artist inherited from Ping'an Village, Lou Yi also cultivated the Black Skin realm to its limit, with the realms above remaining blank.

Of course, like the Breathing Technique, the Skin Refining Technique can still slowly enhance strength.

After reaching the limits of two different martial arts.

Lou Yi's lifespan also increased from the original 134 years to 160 years.

Outlasting the longest-lived historical figures of Wangjiang County by over twenty years.

Of course, in the cultivation realm, that is nothing, as even an ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivator has a lifespan of three hundred years.

In the realm section of Qi Cultivation, Lou Yi reached the second level of Qi Cultivation.

And as the proficiency in Profound Yin Technique grew, it once again slowed down, taking three days to increase proficiency by two points.

Based on this situation, if nothing was done, Lou Yi would need seven hundred days to advance to the third level of Qi Cultivation.

This speed is actually not slow, equivalent to a mid-grade spirit root, but Lou Yi is clearly not content with just this.

Fortunately, the three-year period has ended.

Even without taking on any tasks now, Lou Yi can leave the mountain gate.

Find a way to hunt Yin Element demon creatures to improve his Yin Affinity, i.e., enhance the quality of his spirit root.

In addition, searching for the item Moonlight Dew, which advances the Profound Yin Technique, is also a way to speed up Qi Cultivation. The two do not conflict and can be done concurrently.

In the magic section, two more spells have been added.

Yin Qi Arrow was what Lou Yi used with the last free exchange opportunity for new disciples and has been upgraded to the realm of perfection.

And Yin Light Shield is a defensive magic, requiring much more spiritual power than attack spells and needing a Foundation Establishment cultivation to perform.

Therefore, its current status is still gray, not meeting the practice requirement.

Most of the energy has been converted into strength, but there are still over thirty thousand remaining, which can be considered abundant.

As for talents, after killing a Golden Beetle last year, one new talent, named Golden Armor, was added and is currently at the entry stage.

"Golden Armor," Lou Yi said softly.

The next moment, a layer of light golden keratin suddenly appeared over all his skin, including his face and eyelids.

The mechanism of the Golden Armor talent is different from both the Petrification talent and the Skin Refining Technique.

Petrification is a thorough alteration of skin nature, turning it into a new type of hardened skin.

The Skin Refining Technique greatly increases the density of muscles and skin under the qi-blood push, indirectly enhancing defense.

The Golden Armor talent, on the other hand, adds a new protective layer onto the original skin.

This also means that the methods of increasing physical strength can be completely stacked.

In addition to the protective film of True Strength appearing externally, if Lou Yi goes all out, he can have four completely different defensive measures...

With such defensive intensity, combined with the Talent of Tenacity, along with Fireproof and Wind Stabilization talents...

Lou Yi's current defense and survival capability have reached an unimaginable point even for himself.

'Can I now easily suppress those at the late-stage of Qi Cultivation?'

'The defense is adequate, but the methods against enemies are still somewhat crude, not flexible enough.'

'I can't be complacent, I can't be complacent, we're just getting started. Only when I can survive under the hands of a Foundation Establishment Great Cultivator will I be able to relax a little.'

'No, even Foundation Establishment is not the top in this world, the Golden Core Masters have vast divine skills, probably able to blow me away with one breath.'

Not daring to slack off, Lou Yi began to sort out the upcoming plans:

In terms of martial arts, cultivation has now reached a bottleneck, making progress extremely slow.

If he wants to enhance martial arts strength, there are two ideas.

One is to find another different martial artist's cultivation method, much like the Skin Refining Technique.

Reaching a certain level of practice will surely enhance personal strength.

This method is akin to stacking boxes, simple and crude, yet truly effective.

The second is to look for ancient texts to see if any predecessors have reached a mysterious realm beyond the Martial Master.

Once versed in the key to breaking through the realm, or the key characteristics of the next level of the realm.

The attribute panel should be able to reveal the corresponding realm, thereby making breakthrough easy.

Most of the time, as long as an already known result is provided to the attribute panel, it can help omit the advancement process.

Of course, Lou Yi's current difficulty is the uncertainty of what the result is.

And as long as he enters the new realm,

even without follow-up detailed spiritual methods, being in that realm allows Lou Yi to have ways to slowly deduce further, practicing to the peak of that realm is not a problem.

As for breaking through to the next realm, that will be dealt with then.

Both methods can actually be pursued simultaneously.

As for the immortal way, it is much simpler with reliance on a strong backing.

To speed up cultivation, there are also two methods.

One is to kill Yin Element demon creatures, continuously increasing Yin Affinity, enhancing spirit root grade.

The second is to find the critical item Moonlight Dew, advancing the Fundamental Xuan Yin Technique to the next stage.

Additionally, redeeming more magic spells is also an option.

It can increase enemy confrontation methods, as well as amplify divine sense to boost qi-blood further.

Redeeming magic spells requires contributions, which often depend on completing sect-issued tasks.

In terms of talents, it's also necessary to accumulate contributions through completing tasks to redeem those Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.

Such as the Spirit-devouring Vine needed for the Talent of Tenacity, Ice Soul required for the Petrification Talent, etc.

Obtaining any of these can enhance Lou Yi's strength.

Martial arts, immortal way, and talents are the three major components of personal strength, with all three progressing simultaneously, focusing on all three.

By the way, I almost forgot that I have an excellent means—Lifebound Corpse.

Lou Yi looked towards the tall Lou Er nearby, who also looked back.
