Chapter 156: Qi Channel Breakthrough, Origin of Qi Beads
On the way back, Wu Yi looked at the place where Master Xu Yang had taught him the Eighteen Power Styles several times before. There was no one there. Wu Yi stayed there, looking a little lonely. He knew that he might not see Master Xu Yang again.
Why did Master Xu Yang no longer choose to teach him the method in person? Wu Yi kept thinking on the way back, but he was in a low position and could not get a definite answer.
But the reasons were just those. Although Wu Yi did not know the specific reasons, the only thing he could be sure of was that he would have to rely on himself in the future.
He had lost his temporary support, but when had Wu Yi ever completely relied on others? His fate was in his own hands, and others were not completely reliable.
Taking out the Qingling Pill that Li Gu had given him before, Wu Yi's eyes flickered. After so much time, Wu Yi only had 30% or 20% of his acquired Qi that had not been transformed into innate Qi.
But there was only about a month left before he could climb the ladder to heaven. In a month, Wu Yi could not completely transform his innate Qi, and his Qi Dao could not break through to the foundation-building realm.
It was for this reason that Wu Yi, although he had given Li Gu and the others a cold look before, still accepted their apology gift and planned to try his best to find a way to break through.
Looking at the dark green Qingling Pill, Wu Yi made up his mind, raised his head suddenly, and swallowed the Qingling Pill.
This Qingling Pill was the size of a pigeon egg and melted in the mouth. Although it was called Qingling Pill, it was like burning fire. Wu Yi was stimulated and sweated all over.
Wu Yi looked at the strands of dirt seeping out of his skin and couldn't help saying: "This Qingling Pill actually has the effect of washing the tendons and marrow."
The reason why Qingling Pill can reverse the acquired Qi into the innate Qi is that it relies on refining the hidden dirt in the acquired Qi and minimizing the time Wu Yi spends on this step. In fact, it is not as Wu Yi imagined.
The real transformation process, that is, the process of the acquired Qi entering the true Qi seedling and the true Qi seedling transforming into the innate Qi, still needs Wu Yi to complete it himself, otherwise the transformed innate Qi is impure and cannot be called innate Qi.
Soon, Wu Yi's whole body exuded an unpleasant stench, but Wu Yi, who was immersed in cultivation, had no time to deal with this. The seedling of true qi in the dantian was rapidly transforming into the innate qi, and the purified acquired qi was quickly transformed.
The speed was so fast that Wu Yi couldn't believe it, and even Wu Yi doubted that he could complete the transformation process in one day. Now he was no longer worried about whether he could transform the innate qi, but was worried about how to condense and aggregate all the innate qi after the transformation was completed.
All the innate qi will eventually condense into an origin qi bead. The origin qi bead is exclusive to the disciples who have practiced the nine changes and promoted in the first qi gate. Its importance is like the dragon ball to the dragon. If you practice to the golden elixir realm, the origin qi bead is a magical power, and it will carry a huge force when you lift it up.
However, if it is not a life-and-death moment, the disciples of the first qi gate will never sacrifice the origin qi bead. Once it is destroyed by the opponent, their path will be cut off, just like Xu Yang Zhenren, but the origin qi bead is defective, which has cut off the future and there is no possibility of advancement.
The real use of the origin gas beads is to regulate the vitality, consolidate the foundation and return to the original, and drive out the external qi. It is even related to the Tao of the Primordial Origin, that is, it contains the secret of becoming an immortal. It is really a waste of talent to use it in battle.
Of course, if it really comes to a life-and-death moment, it is okay to fight to the death. Because of the benefits of the origin gas beads, some evil cultivators of different ways even deliberately seize the origin gas beads of the disciples of the Qi Sect to practice, just like some cultivators seize the dragon ball.
Of course, when encountering such people, the Qi Sect will not show any mercy when it strikes, and will hunt them down at the ends of the earth. The dragon clan of the divine beasts also treats cultivators who rob the dragon ball in the same way.
Most of the origin gas beads owned by the fallen cultivators were destroyed. Even if the cultivators did not have time to destroy them, the sect would send disciples to take them back. Very few origin gas beads actually fell into the outside world.
Through repeated pursuits, the cultivators who dare to snatch the original Qi beads of the disciples of Yiqi Sect are almost extinct now, but when the disciples go out for training, the seniors of the sect will still remind them that they should be careful in order to sail for a long time.
What Wu Yi regretted was that after a night of practice, the effect of the Qingling Pill disappeared, and only one to two percent of the acquired Qi was transformed, leaving the last ten percent of the acquired Qi, which was not directly transformed as he expected.
Wu Yi knew that he was a little impatient, so he relaxed his mind and calmed down. There was still a month, and according to the previous speed, the transformation should be completed.
Wu Yi, who had recovered from the state of practice, only then found the dirt on his body. He did not go to the fighting stage immediately, but took a bath and changed his clothes before going out.
For the next month, Wu Yi went out to the fighting stage in the morning, defeated his opponent in a few moves, and then came back to practice.
Wu Yi did not insist on practicing Daoyun, because he did not know how to practice Daoyun, which required perception, but he had no other way except to recite the Qingxin Mantra more.
What he really focused on was the transformation of the innate qi, the practice of the Eighteen Strength Styles, and the practice of the "Great Dao of Hunyuan Huanyuan", that is, drawing the power of the earth veins to temper the body.
Of course, these earth vein powers are all fire-type earth vein powers. Under the tempering of the fire-type earth vein power, Wu Yi's random attacks will be accompanied by flames, and even ordinary breathing will emit a hint of heat, which makes Wu Yi very worried that he will suddenly combust.
Although the process of cultivation was very painful, Wu Yi's body strength was still unknown. Ordinary magic weapons could not even break Wu Yi's skin at this time. Wu Yi's body strength finally caught up. The problem that had troubled him for a long time was finally solved.
During this period of time, among the three paths of energy and power, Wu Yi spent the least effort on the path of law. It can even be said that he did not spend any effort and just let the ghosts practice on their own. However, the strength of the ghosts was separated from him by one layer after all.
Three nights before climbing the ladder to heaven, Wu Yi eliminated distracting thoughts and sat cross-legged, holding his knees with his hands, his tongue touching the roof of his mouth, his eyes slightly closed, and looking inside with light. Today was his best opportunity to condense the original energy beads.
Wu Yi had just completed the transformation of innate Qi yesterday. After a day of preparation, Wu Yi planned to condense the original Qi beads in one go and build a foundation for Qi channel breakthrough.
At this time, there was no trace of acquired Qi in Wu Yi's body. In order to achieve a breakthrough tonight, Wu Yi had locked his acupoints tightly since the transformation yesterday to prevent any foreign Qi from entering, burned incense, prayed, bathed and changed clothes.
Countless talismans were laid inside and outside the door to prevent outside interference, and even the Nine Ghost Locking Palace Formation was set up. Of course, they were still allowed to hide underground for now, otherwise it would be troublesome to attract everyone's attention.
It can be said that Wu Yi has made sufficient preparations for tonight. Success or failure depends on this. If he misses the opportunity tonight, Wu Yi will basically have no chance to break through before climbing the ladder. Wu Yi will not allow himself to fail.
Wu Yi looked inside his Dantian. There were countless innate Qi wandering around like snakes, unorganized. What Wu Yi had to do was to condense these innate Qi together. If he didn't handle it well, Wu Yi might start all over again. There is no chance.
Reciting the Pure Heart Mantra, Wu Yi's Taoist rhyme surrounds the whole body, and the heart becomes clear, and he begins to connect all the innate energy with his spiritual consciousness.
Wu Yi has an advantage that many other monks do not have, that is, Wu Yi's method and strength are already at the foundation-building level, and his spiritual consciousness has been born for a long time and is not weak yet.
Spiritual consciousness is the will of a monk with his hands. If a monk who only cultivates Qi Dao wants to condense the innate Qi, he needs to use blood essence as a guide. Not to mention the slow speed, the success rate is still very low.
Perhaps Wu Yi had too much intention at the beginning, trying to connect all the innate energy. Although most of them were connected, a small half was still lingering outside.
Even if Wu Yi squeezes out part of his spiritual consciousness, it will be of no use. The remaining innate energy will not enter, and without the restraint of Wu Yi's spiritual consciousness, the innate energy that was originally connected will also wander away little by little. Wu Yi has done a lot of useless work.
Realizing that one bite would not make him fat, Wu Yi changed his original strategy. His spiritual consciousness no longer tried to trap all the innate energy, but instead controlled part of it, put the controlled part into his mouth, and then continued to connect the others. Innate energy.
Using this water grinding technique, Wu Yi spent about three hours, until the moon reached the zenith and shed a bright silver glow, and Wu Yi was able to connect 80% of his innate energy.
At this time, Wu Yi's spiritual consciousness was already stretched thin to suppress the connected innate energy, and the remaining innate energy had no extra power to connect.
Wu Yi seems to have only one method left, which is to give up these uncontrollable innate energy. In fact, for most disciples, in such a situation, doing so is in their own best interests.
Otherwise, if the breakthrough fails, the innate energy that was originally connected will dissipate. If you give up the innate energy that is difficult to control, you will not be able to cultivate it back bit by bit, although this time may be calculated in years.
Looking at the free innate energy like a wild horse, Wu Yi couldn't help but feel a little restless in his peaceful heart. This was something he had finally transformed into. To give up so easily, if he had known this was the case, he might as well have just given up. How could he be willing to do so? There was only one way.
A fierce look flashed across Wu Yi's eyes. Wu Yi gritted his teeth and forced out a drop of blood essence from his body. His face suddenly turned three points white. Essence blood in the human body is the essence of blood, and the human body does not have any How many drops can be restored but the cost is not small.
Perhaps because of the power of the earth's veins, this drop of blood looked like a shining flame from a distance. Wu Yi originally thought that this was just a difference in the color of the blood and the flame, so he didn't pay much attention to it. However, this negligence led to Wu Yi's subsequent A series of problems encountered, there is even the danger of Dao Yun being easier.
Wu Yi integrated the essence and blood into his Dantian, and part of the innate energy was attracted by the same source of essence and blood and flowed to the vicinity of the essence and blood, and was connected by Wu Yi.
But this trace of innate energy is not even three-thirds of the innate energy. In this conversion, if Wu Yi wants to connect all the innate energy, he will need at least seven drops of blood essence.
If three drops of essence and blood are dissolved, the human body's strength will be reduced by 10%, which is a permanent decrease. If five drops are dissolved, the human body will be dizzy and the body will be weak. Seven drops, that is a fatal rhythm.
There was a trace of cold sweat on Wu Yi's forehead. His spiritual consciousness was tense for a long time, suppressing the innate energy from escaping. He could no longer hold on. Even if the incense used was the rare ambergris, Wu Yi's sweat was still there. Countless drops.
Without thinking for a long time, Wu Yi cut off his retreat and squeezed out five drops of blood in one breath. His face suddenly turned pale and there was no blood at all, like a person who had been ill for a long time and his body was not affected by it. Falling behind him in a controlled manner.
Wu Yi, who fell down, coughed violently like a porcelain doll, his lungs shook, his internal organs shifted, and he couldn't help spitting out large mouthfuls of blood, all of which were dark red. This part of the blood had become dead blood because of the extraction of blood essence, and it was completely worthless. It was actually a good thing to spit it out.
But it still looked very scary. Wu Yi didn't know how much blood he had lost in his body this time. He only saw that the blood covered the room and mixed with the dust on the ground to form a thin layer of blood stains.
Although his body was severely injured and he spit out large mouthfuls of blood, Wu Yi's scarlet lips still showed a trace of happy smile. The innate energy in his body had been connected together.
"Condense for me." Wu Yi used his remaining strength to stand up and shouted.
Not long after he finished speaking, he was bleeding from all seven orifices, and his capillaries were blocked with dark red blood. His whole body turned into a blood man, hideous and terrifying.
At this time, in addition to the innate energy, the only thing that was still running was the blood light in the body. The blood light that originally occupied only a part of the blood was successfully integrated into all the blood during this major blood exchange. In other words, Wu Yi's blood light has therefore stepped into the peak of the second level, and the next step is to move towards the third level, which is to integrate into the bone marrow.
Blessings are dependent on disasters; disasters are the source of blessings. Blessings and disasters are interdependent, and success and failure complement each other.
Under the control of Wu Yi's spiritual consciousness, the innate energy gathered together with the blood essence as the core, just like a snowball, gathering more and more, and soon formed a spherical shape with a diameter of more than three feet, and it was still growing.
In the process of gathering, this blood ball gradually left Wu Yi's body and came to the outside world, stirring up a spiritual energy vortex in the outside world.
At this time, the faint morning light could be seen on the horizon. Many diligent disciples had gone out to practice hard, wanting to take advantage of the rising sun to pick up a ray of the early sun energy, but they suddenly found that the spiritual energy around them seemed to be attracted by an inexplicable force and went in one direction.
The turbulence of the spiritual energy even formed a small breeze, and many curious disciples followed the direction of the spiritual energy.
There are many possibilities for the abnormal surging of spiritual energy, such as a breakthrough, the completion of the elixir, the appearance of a mysterious weapon, and the traction of the gathering array.
These people came to Wu Yi's courtyard at the same time, and soon, dozens of people gathered.
"Whose courtyard is this?" asked a disciple who practiced hard all day and didn't know about the outside world.
"It's Wu Yi's, the disciple taught by the master of the temple." A disciple took over and added the last sentence.
When everyone heard this, they had a guess about this strange phenomenon in their hearts. It must be that Master Xu Yang gave Wu Yi some powerful skills. The worldview of cultivators is so narrow.
When everyone was jealous for a while, a more spectacular scene appeared.
