Chapter 70 Half a Year of Hard Training
After Shi Xuan returned to the cave and put away the dry food, he was not in a hurry to practice, but adjusted his breath and concentration to restore his whole body to its best condition.
Picking up the Wanxiang Shadowless Sword and looking at the flying sword wandering in his hand like a breeze, Shi Xuan was very satisfied. Although it could not be refined to the sixth level of heaven for the time being, it should be enough before he formed the elixir.
The Jade Slip of Sacrifice and Refining Techniques provides the "True Method of Forbidden Wind with No Forms", which is an extremely powerful true method of restraint. When Taoist Yuyang decided to make a replica of the magic weapon Invisible Sword, it was because he had obtained this forbidden true method.
It's a pity that Taoist Yuyang has died in a certain cave in the Western Wilderness. The "True Method of Wind Taboo with No Form" currently provided only has the first two levels. At most, the flying sword sacrifice can be refined to the perfection of the two heavens. No wonder this Feijian cannot be sold! You must know that the complete version of "The True Dharma of the Unrestrained Winds" is only available in the four major sects: Luofu Xian Sect, Yingzhou Sect, Guanghan Sect, and Penglai Sect, and it is not allowed to be learned by non-inner disciples or above.
However, Shi Xuan doesn't care about this now. When the entire jade slip was used as a flying sword, he had anticipated this situation. Otherwise, just the entire jade slip of "The True Law of the Wind Confinement with No Forms" would have sold for dozens. A high-grade spiritual stone, the kind that has a price but no market.
Shi Xuan carefully read the forbidden sacrificial refining method of "The True Method of Imprisoning the Wind with No Form" and pondered it several times before following the instructions on the jade slip and slowly penetrating his spiritual thoughts into the flying sword.
As soon as he entered Feijian, he could feel the sharp and biting sword energy from all directions. Fortunately, the original owner's brand had been erased, otherwise with Shi Xuan's cultivation at this time, the sword energy would probably have shattered his spiritual thoughts. After all, apart from many limitations, this sword is considered an excellent flying sword.
According to the sacrificial refining method of the "True Method of Wind Restriction with and Without Forms", Shi Xuan visualized the divine will of the invisible wind, and used this divine will to direct the divine thoughts entering the flying sword, slowly leaving them in the flying sword's restraining center. Make your own mark.
Half a quarter of an hour later, the Shadowless Sword in both hands of Shi Xuan vibrated slightly, made a crisp sound, and then slowly rose up, floating in the air more than two inches high in Shi Xuan's hands.
Shi Xuan pointed a finger, and the entire sword turned into a light blue glaze-like sword light, circling up and down in the cave and stabbing. It's a pity that Shi Xuan has just left his imprint and hasn't had time to master the restriction. The flying sword flies extremely clumsily, and his shadowless style has not been displayed.
Striking while the iron is hot, Shi Xuan began to master the restraints that had been refined previously. Mastering the restraints is just a matter of coordinating the imprint left on the restraint center. When visualizing, just re-visualize the entire layer of restraints. The time taken is about one-tenth or even less of the sacrificial restraints. Therefore, Shi Xuan's time is less than a quarter of an hour. Time has taken hold of the first level of restrictions.
At this point, Shi Xuan could already use the Shadowless Sword like an arm, but it was not very powerful.
After putting away the Wanxiang Shadowless Sword, Shi Xuan did not intend to master it in one go. On the one hand, his own practice was more important. He just needed to set aside time to practice it every day. On the other hand, he was safe in the cave. Guaranteed, there is no need to rush to master the Wanxiang Shadowless Sword completely.
Feeling that a lot of his soul power had been consumed, Shi Xuan thought for a moment, took out the bottle of Soul Condensing Pill and poured one pill into his hand, intending to test the potency first and provide a reference for future use to restore soul power.
The Soul Condensing Pill is a jade-colored elixir that exudes the fragrance of flowers. When taken into the mouth, it immediately turns into a stream of sweet water.
"Huh." Shi Xuan breathed a long sigh of relief. After just taking the Soul Condensing Pill, the inner energy was stimulated by the medicine and moved faster. There were also some strange substances mixed in it. Under the nourishment of inner energy and these strange substances, the soul recovers seven or eight times faster than normal visualization.
But Shi Xuan didn't like this feeling very much. The uncontrolled inner energy and uncontrolled strange substances gave him the feeling that this was not his own body, and he couldn't stop even if he wanted to. It seems that in the future, it can only be used as an emergency use in the process of fighting or being hunted, and cannot be used as a regular method to replenish the power of the soul during daily practice or after refining the magic weapon.
After the medicinal effect wore off, Shi Xuan gradually calmed down and began today's practice. First, he used the clear wind and bright moon to illuminate the true method of the gods, nourishing the soul and removing impurities. While improving the soul's cultivation, it also improved the soul's control.
After finishing the Qingfeng Mingyue Shen Zhenfa, Shi Xuan began to visualize the "Five Directions Thunder God True Shape Diagram". This time it was the process of the soul sensing the five internal organs and five gods, and the five internal organs and five gods sensing the physical body from the inside out.
During this process, the soul that has been out of the body clearly senses the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, but how to transmit this sense to the five internal organs and five gods, and then the five internal organs and five gods transmit this feeling to the physical body?
This is a hard work. On the one hand, it increases the cultivation of the soul so that it can sense the aura of heaven and earth more clearly. On the other hand, it improves the control of the soul, so that it can sense the aura of heaven and earth through the visualization of "Five Directions Thunder God Reality". The mysterious connection established by "Shadow" is effectively transmitted to the physical body. Both are indispensable.
Step by step, the physical body's sensitivity to the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is improved, and finally it reaches a limit, completely breaking down the barriers between the physical body and heaven and earth, and at the same time breaking down the barriers between the physical body and the internal organs. This is the Qi-entraining stage.
After receiving the guidance of Taoist Master Dioquanzi, Shi Xuan's soul cultivation level broke through the bottleneck period, and the physical body's sensitivity to the spiritual energy of heaven and earth also went from not being at all at all to now being vague and non-existent, but it has to reach the limit, I'm afraid It will take about ten years, and by then I will be able to break through to the qi-entraining stage without taking Taishang Sensing Pill. But this is because Shi Xuan practices supreme skills and has the "True Shape Map of the Five Directions Thunder God". Normal monks do not have good skills. If they do not rely on elixirs, they will take decades, or even many years until they die. Can't break through.
After finishing this training exercise, Shi Xuan sat on the stone bed, but he remembered what Ming Qingyue mentioned. At this stage, the physical body, internal organs, and meridians must be tempered to improve their endurance, but exercising on his own The body has reached the limit of this stage, how to temper the physical body, internal organs, and meridians?
After thinking carefully for a while, Shi Xuan had an idea and crossed his legs again to enter the visualization, and continued to visualize the "True Shape Diagram of the Five Directions Thunder God", but this time it was no longer the soul's induction of the aura of heaven and earth to the five internal organs and five gods, but It is the soul that communicates with the five internal organs through the mysterious connections established, causing them to start moving on their own.
slow! The soul conveyed this idea to the five internal organs, which immediately slowed down, and even the heart beat very slowly. quick! The five internal organs immediately began to move rapidly, and the heart beat loudly.
Under the command of the soul, the inner-out physical exercise process from the five internal organs to the meridians, and from the meridians to the physical body begins. The step-by-step exercise is exactly the opposite of the exercise in the first stage of Qi training, but it is the beginning. The tonic effect pushed Shi Xuan's body, which he thought had reached its limit, to a higher level.
After some practice, Shi Xuan discharged a lot of black liquid, and his internal organs felt refreshed. After a punch, it turned out that he was stronger than before. Of course, this was the first time that such a body tempering had made such obvious progress, and the subsequent effects would be much worse.
I didn't expect that the "Five Directions Thunder God's True Shape Diagram" could be used in this way. How could it not be mentioned in "Baolu"? Could it be a simple usage that doesn't need to be mentioned? Shi Xuan almost burst into tears thinking about this. It's really sad to have no master.
In the process of body tempering from the inside out, not only the endurance capacity of the internal organs, physical body, and meridians is improved, but this kind of visualization practice also greatly exercises the ability to control the soul, which is really an unexpected joy. Shi Xuan overturned his previous idea, fearing that it would take less than ten years, six or seven years should be enough. Of course, everything is just Shi Xuan's own speculation.
More than five months later.
A ray of clear light was flowing around in Shixuan's cave, if it was there or not, but the hard stone table could not stop it at all. It passed through without any effort at all and returned to Shixuan's hands, but there was something left on the stone table. A small hole appeared.
Looking at the Shadowless Sword that had turned into a clear light and circled back and forth in his palm, Shi Xuan nodded with satisfaction. He first spent more than a month to completely master the sixteen levels of restraints that had been refined, and then spent more time. In four months, the seventeenth level of "The True Law of the Unrestrained Wind" was refined. This flying sword has now become a rare weapon during the out-of-body period.
The Ecstasy Banner has been refined to the thirteenth level, and the power of the foul mist is more than twice as powerful as before, and its range has also expanded to a radius of twenty feet. The black light's ability to stun people is to the extent that a monk in the out-of-body stage can be stunned directly without any precautions. The defense can withstand the second level of high-quality spells.
The most gratifying change is that for monks in the Qi nourishing and physical training stages, the black light can directly brush their souls out of the body. There is a half chance that they will be blown away by the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and a half chance that the black light will imprison them in the ecstasy flag. The Ecstasy Banner finally showed some abilities related to life and death, and it was no wonder that Shi Xuan used the prohibition of the magic weapon "Life and Death Disk" to sacrifice it.
During this period of time, in addition to eating delicious food once a month, Shi Xuan has been practicing hard in his cave. Not only has he practiced two magic weapons, but his own cultivation has also made great progress, at least using The ability to control spells and minor magical powers has become stronger, and they can be used more often. With Shi Xuan's soul power, if he simply used the Shangqing Hand-Spiral Thunder, it would have been used up about twenty times before. It has been used for seventy-seven or eighty-eight years, but now it can be used more than thirty times.
This shows that Shi Xuan's soul control and strength have improved a lot. Although he has not taken any elixirs, his soul strength is much slower than those monks who rely on elixirs to improve their cultivation, but his control ability is much stronger than them. .
Why does Shi Xuan know the situation of those monks who rely on elixirs to improve their cultivation? That's because for more than five months, Ming Qingyue came to see Shi Xuan whenever she had the opportunity. This was not because she fell in love with him, but because as the youngest in the family and the one with the lowest cultivation level, it was rare to find someone with a sincere and humble attitude who was more cultivated than herself. As a humble guy who could listen to his own advice and didn't covet her, Ming Qingyue was very addicted to being a master.
Of course Shi Xuan is happy to have someone give him advice. In the past five months, his cultivation has improved a lot, and Ming Qingyue also contributed a lot. Unfortunately, she was sent to Penglai Island in advance by her father a few days ago, otherwise Shi Xuan would have planned to Invite her to a banquet to express your gratitude.
Tomorrow Shixuan will leave Tidal Square and take a boat to Penglai Island. Originally, Shi Xuan thought he could take the teleportation array, but when Ming Qingyue found out, he laughed at him and gave up the idea.
Because of several months of guidance, Ming Qingyue was no longer so polite to Shi Xuan. At that time, she laughed and said: "Don't worry if any sect builds a formation that others can teleport to at any time. Are you being attacked by the enemy? Senior sister tells you that there are only a few secret teleportation arrays on Penglai Island that can reach the main island directly. The other teleportation arrays go to other surrounding islands, and then use magic weapons or take boats to go there. Mingyue Island is one of them.”
