Chapter 68: The Fragmented Body

When he returned to the gate, there were already two young men standing there. They were the servants who had arrived earlier. They bowed respectfully to Li Yan, and then waited for Li Yan to open the gate, and quickly moved a set of stone tables and stone benches into the yard. They didn't have storage bags and flying spiritual tools, so they could only carry them from the bottom of the mountain. However, this was nothing for two cultivators at the fifth level of the Condensation Stage.

After the two men quickly placed the stone tables and stone benches, they looked at Li Yan with a questioning look. One of the yellow-clothed servants asked carefully, "Little Master, do we need to clean up the rest of the place?"

After Li Yan waved his hand, he smiled and let them go back. The two bowed respectfully again and turned to leave.

Li Yan didn't have the heart to let them clean up here now. Now he just wanted to solve this headache of cultivation as soon as possible.

With a flick of his sleeves, the courtyard door closed again. Li Yan walked quickly to the practice room. After closing the door of the practice room again, Li Yan sat cross-legged. The next moment, his consciousness had come to the sea of ​​consciousness, where three purple light spots were floating. They were the contents of the jade slips that recorded the summary and experience of the practice of the fragmented poison body.

The fragmented poison body did not have a practice formula, but only recorded the experience and experience after the practice, for future generations to refer to. These three jade slips were placed in Xiaozhu Peak, Laojun Peak, and Lingchong Peak, which were also the peaks where the three predecessors came from. This kind of purple jade slip cannot be exchanged for spirit stones, but must be seen by people who meet the conditions and approved by the high-level of the sect. Originally, with Wei Chongran's status, he could only get a purple jade slip from Xiaozhu Peak, but the last time the sect master had told the peaks about the issue of opening up resources related to the practice of the fragmented poison body, so he could get it smoothly.

The reason why the sect did not give these to Li Yan immediately was because of the special nature of the fragmented poisonous body. The three seniors had said that before successfully cultivating this poisonous body, it is possible to find a successful way to cultivate this poisonous body by taking it for reference. If it has been successfully cultivated, it is best not to give it as a reference until the other party encounters a problem, because even if it is the same fragmented poisonous body, some directions are different, which may lead to a wrong path, and the result may be counterproductive, and may even ruin things.

But who knew that he would meet Li Yan, a novice cultivator who had no cultivation foundation at all, and could not make any judgments when he encountered some problems. Think about it, those immortal cultivators basically started practicing since childhood, and they have heard and seen a lot of knowledge in all aspects. When encountering things, they always have some experience to learn from, but Li Yan just doesn't have this knowledge accumulation. So after considering it, Wei Chongran decided that instead of letting him accumulate knowledge in a roundabout way, it would be better to let him learn from the experience of his predecessors directly. At least he can take fewer detours. As for the possibility of leading Li Yan in the wrong direction, he has different ideas. Who can guarantee that after reading these experience summaries, Li Yan's direction is wrong? These are all unverifiable. It must be said that these are consistent with Wei Chongran's personality. He pays attention to taking things as they come, using them when he has them, and thinking about them when he doesn't.

After Li Yan slowly opened a purple light spot, his consciousness immersed in it and slowly read it. This meditation lasted for two days and one night. When Li Yan opened his eyes, there was already a hint of enlightenment in his eyes.

There is a lot of information in these jade slips, from the daily experience of cultivation to his own various insights on the cultivation process. Li Yan could not digest them one by one. He only picked out the ones he could understand at present for analysis and understanding, and the rest could only be memorized by force and digested later. Even so, with his current status as a cultivator, he was dizzy and confused.

Li Yan did not get what he wanted to know directly from this information, but in the end he judged his current physical condition through other aspects. Among these information, the senior from Lingchong Peak said, "When the Qi is fragmented, the body is broken into ten; when the foundation is fragmented, ten are broken into a hundred; when the Golden Pill is fragmented into a hundred, it becomes a thousand; when the Yuanying is fragmented into a thousand, it becomes ten thousand. One breath and one breath, it is fragmented and broken." Here, Li Yan can roughly guess that it is explaining the condition of the fragmented poison body, but he pays more attention to the last sentence. The last sentence is related to breathing, so in his opinion, this does not refer to simple breathing, but should be exhaling. As for the other two jade slips, no similar content is mentioned, and it is not known whether it is not recorded or the situation is different.

Li Yan pondered for a long time, then he closed his eyes again and silently chanted the Guishui Sutra, but this time he was not really practicing, but to make sure whether the result was as he expected.

Li Yan was motionless like an old monk in meditation, and half an hour later, Li Yan's body shook a little. At this time, Li Yan's face was half happy and half worried. Just now, he moved the spiritual power in his body slowly through the meridians, and then his consciousness followed the spiritual power and carefully observed it. At the beginning, when the spiritual power came out of Dantian, everything was normal, but after walking for a while, some abnormalities appeared. The spiritual power was slowly decreasing, but this decrease was very small. If you don't look at it deliberately, it is difficult to find. This is also because Li Yan's cultivation is too low and his ability to control himself is not so strong. If he is a master, he can control the spiritual power in his body to the point of being as subtle as silk. Normally, even if there is a slight change in the spiritual power in his body, he will know the situation immediately.

After this spiritual power circulated for a circle, it did not become more refined or stronger like after normal cultivation, but was basically the same as before it came out, and even lost some of its power. This shocked Li Yan, and he didn't know why there was such a slight reduction process.

Next, he observed again, and the spiritual power circulated for another week, and this time the spiritual power was as slow as a snail. He increased his consciousness and did not miss every inch of the spiritual power. He wanted to find out how the spiritual power was reduced. Finally, after his careful detection, he discovered the process of spiritual power reduction, that is, when the spiritual power passed through certain meridian nodes, it would disappear a little, as if there were loopholes in these places.

So Li Yan carefully looked at the meridian nodes again, and finally found something wrong.

There were twelve meridian nodes with problems, all of which were nodes of the main meridians in the body. At first glance, there was no problem with these twelve nodes, but through repeated careful inspections by the divine consciousness, it was found that there was an invisible crack on them. This crack was invisible as the muscle meridians stretched and contracted, but when the spiritual power circulated through, the spiritual power filled and agitated it and expanded, and these cracks would only be revealed a little, and this little bit would cause a lot of spiritual power to leak out and merge into the flesh and blood when it passed.

Li Yan found the reason for his loss of spiritual power, so today when he saw "Condensation Qi fragmented, the body was broken into ten; foundation fragmented, ten fragmented into a hundred; golden elixir fragmented into a hundred and a thousand; Yuanying fragmented into ten thousand. One breath, fragmented and shattered." He thought that it should be the body that was divided, causing the leakage of spiritual energy. When he finally looked at it himself, he basically confirmed this idea that his body was divided into twelve pieces according to the meridian nodes.

Now the reason has been found, so how to solve it? Li Yan then checked the records of the three predecessors again, and sat for half a day, but this time Li Yan was disappointed. There was no mention of the practice method of the Fragmented Poison Body, because this method originally had no fixed pattern. It was just a special physique, and it could be driven by any method that one was good at practicing, so there was no record.

Two days passed as Li Yan kept groping. Li Yan began to feel depressed. He could not find any solution at all. Over and over again, he denied one answer after another. Now he basically thought that he had broken the road to immortal cultivation. This was a joke played by God on him. He sent him two fortunes, but formed the final joke.

But he was still unwilling. Originally, he was a mortal who did not want to cultivate immortals, but just wanted to live a peaceful life with his relatives. After experiencing thousands of difficulties, when he really decided to embark on the journey of cultivating immortals, he died at the beginning. He was unwilling.

He tried again to start from the Guishui Sutra, hoping to find a solution, but no matter how he adjusted his spiritual power, no matter how hard he analyzed every sentence and every word of the Guishui Sutra formula over and over again, the result was that when he drove the spiritual power, it leaked and disappeared as soon as it reached the twelve nodes.

Li Yan searched through the Guishui Sutra and the three plain slips of information one by one, hoping to find a solution, but he was still disappointed. There was no word about his phenomenon.

At this time, Li Yan was already extremely haggard, with bloodshot eyes, like a helpless lone wolf on the grassland. He let out a long breath, knowing that he couldn't go on like this, so he simply fell asleep in the practice room. If he couldn't find the answer after studying for a few days after waking up, he could only go directly to his master, hoping that he would send him back to the mortal world for the sake of the master-disciple relationship. As for the matter of the Guishui Sutra, he decided not to tell it. He had cut off his path to immortality, but he couldn't cut off Dong Fuyi's love for saving his life. At most, he would burn a few more incense sticks in the future and pray that Dong Fuyi could find a more suitable successor in that unknown and dangerous place.

In this way, Li Yan fell asleep in his wild thoughts, but the information of the Guishui Sutra and the three jade slips continued to come to his mind.

In this way, after sleeping for an unknown period of time, Li Yan suddenly sat up in his sleep, still with a sleepy look, and a look of surprise on his face. He didn't sleep well. As the saying goes, "What you think about during the day, you dream about at night." He dreamed about the poisonous body. Such a thought in his dream made him sit up suddenly.

"During the Qi Condensation Stage of the Fragmented Poison Body, there are ten or more separate bodies in the body, each of which is nourished in constant operation, and grows into different toxins in the nourishment. These toxins are harmless to the cultivation body, and are difficult to master at first. The cultivator needs to slowly explore and master them until they are proficient in using them. At the same time, these separate bodies will gradually separate into more and smaller independent toxin bodies as the cultivation level improves. When it reaches a certain level, the cultivator can even combine two or more separate bodies into new unknown toxins in the body. After mastering these, the attack power will be unpredictable."

This passage was originally a summary of a senior's experience in describing the attack and application methods of the Fragmented Poison Body. It also explains why Li Yan had different results when he used the "Cloud Rain Technique" twice. That is because the spiritual power he released at the end was no longer pure spiritual power, but contained the toxic spiritual power generated by the Fragmented Poison Body. Moreover, when it was released for the second time, it should be the result of the release of spiritual power dominated by two of the twelve separate bodies in the body.

Li Yan had seen these words before, and he also understood why he had released the "Yunyu Technique" with such a result, but at that time he was looking for a solution to the root cause of his inability to practice, so he just saw it and didn't think deeply about it.

When this passage appeared randomly in his dream along with other information, Li Yan suddenly woke up from his dream like a flash of lightning in the dark.

"During the Qi Condensation Stage, more than a dozen separated bodies are constantly running for nourishment, the separated bodies are constantly running... the separated bodies are constantly running... the separated bodies are constantly running... the practitioners combine two or more separated bodies into a new unknown toxin..." Li Yan muttered.

"The twelve pieces in my body are not separated bodies, but just some cracks. These cracks may have been smaller some time ago, but because I have practiced the second level of mental skills recently, the strength of spiritual energy circulation has increased a lot. At first, there was nothing, but later the gaps may have gradually become larger.

If a practitioner can recombine two or more separated bodies, it means that each piece is independent. Fragmented, fragmented, haha, fragmented, I understand, only broken can be fragmented, otherwise how can it be fragmented? My body is an unfinished fragmented poisonous body. I didn't feel the 'very painful when separating' that the senior brother said. That's not the reason for the fainting, but there is no real separation at all." Li Yan sat on the ground like that, talking to himself half crazy and half crazy, but his eyes were getting brighter and brighter.
