Chapter 13: Disadvantages of Body Refining and Self-cultivation

Time flies, and two years pass by in a flash.

The meridian-building pill is indeed effective. It took only one month to go down the six pills in front, back and forth, and Xiang Yang's meridians and dantian completely recovered as before.

But now two years have passed, but he has not entered the foundation-building period.

It's not a problem with his qualifications, but his body and dantian are so perverted...

In two years, he ate all the elixirs that Xiahou Cheng had plundered him, and only two of the eight-treasure pigs in the valley were tortured by him, but his dantian was still not fixed. Until now, he is now the size of a double fist. He doesn't know when he will have to wait for the energy to overflow.

The method of cultivating immortals is stuck in the Qi-inducing stage, but the Golden Body Art of Refining Body has made rapid progress. It entered the Silver Body Realm more than a year ago, and now it is about to break through to the Golden Body Realm.

However, Xiang Yang also discovered a problem. As his physical refining realm increases, his physical body's strength becomes stronger and stronger, and his absorption of vital energy becomes stronger. Originally, after a Yuan-Replenishing Pill, the qi in the dantian could always increase a little, but now? It was not too late to reach the dantian and was completely absorbed by the body.

The most important thing is that the body absorbs the vital energy without limit, but the vital energy that can be used is limited. As well as obtaining a hundred parts of vital energy, the cultivator can always leave three or four parts for his own use by relying on his dantian. After being absorbed by the body, most of them are consumed in the end, except for the strength enhancement point.

In other words, the stronger his body is, the more difficult it is to cultivate immortality. At the same level, the energy required is several times or even dozens of times that of others. No wonder the Golden Body Hall has declined.

Of course, there are also benefits. Now Xiang Yang can fight against the immortal cultivators in the foundation-building realm with his physical body alone. Of course, that is when others do not use the Taoist weapon.

In the past two years, Xiahou Cheng had come once. After seeing Xiang Yang's dantian, he had nothing to say. He left him a few bottles of elixirs and three portions of jade slips and left.

Those elixirs are immortal elixirs that are one level higher than the Yuan Pu Dan. Gu Zhen was shocked when he saw this elixir and said that even the elite disciples of Jingetang were not qualified to take it. One elixir is worth a piece of Yuanqi stone, and it is a product that is priceless and cannot be bought even if you want to buy it.

According to Xiang Yang's estimate, this should have been brought by Master Lei Guang's name Xiahou Cheng. Although Xiahou Cheng himself is a manager of a dietary room, he probably can't afford such elixirs.

He never mentioned it to the three masters about Master Lei Guang's intention to accept him as his disciple. Although he had known in the past two years that he had to rely on countless resources to cultivate immortality, so a good master and a good background were even more important, but he still did not regret it. If time went backwards, he would still make the same choice.

After all, Xiang Yang is just an eleven-year-old child and has a innocent heart that has not been defiled by the world.

The three jade slips, one record some introductory magic and simple magic talismans, can be used in the Qi-induced realm. You can tell that they are all moves that are not powerful, such as fireball, swamp technique, etc.

Xiang Yang has a very high understanding and his spiritual sense is beyond ordinary people's power. These introductory methods are almost learned at once. However, it may be because Xiang Yang's immortal embryo is mainly based on the metal system. His best skills are sharp techniques. However, this magic has no attack power, it just adds some sharpness to his weapons and cannot be used on Taoist weapons. Now its biggest use can only be used for Lei Meng's pig-killing sword.

Strangely, he is also quite talented in a mutated spell ice archery. According to Gu Zhen, the ice archery he used has already had the power of the foundation-building stage. With one move, a small tree half a foot tall can be frozen into an ice sculpture directly.

As for the art talisman, Jinbotang is poor and can't even find an ordinary talisman paper, so naturally there is no way to practice it.

There is also a jade slip that contains some of the understandings and tricks of Master Lei Guang's own practice. Although everyone's cultivation path is different, Master Lei Guang is a monk who is about to enter the Nascent Soul stage. What's more, he has also practiced the Golden Body Art. For Xiang Yang's current experience, his experience is even more precious.

Another jade slip is not an ordinary thing. The "Song of Mountains and Seas" records all kinds of strange things on the mountain and sea continent, flowers, plants, monsters, genius treasures, treasures of precious minerals, and practice treasures. Of course, this is just based on the gains of ancestors from the Fuyu Sect over thousands of years. Although the name is domineering, the mountain and sea continent is so wide that the things recorded on it are probably not as good as possible.

This is something that disciples of the Five Gods Church must learn from the beginning. It is not very precious, but it is still a rare treasure for Xiang Yang. Every day, he is immersed in this scroll of all things in addition to practicing.

One evening, the scenery in Ambergris Gorge was still the same, but the original pigpen had become empty, leaving only a pair of breeding pigs, a few piglets arched on the sow's belly and happily ate milk, and a fat and strong boar lay lazily beside them basking in the sun.

A bald man walked into the pigpen, carried his shoulders and put the last boar to the ground. Then he opened his big hand, held two pairs of hooves in front and back, and picked it up. The boar seemed to know what he was about to face. His body twisted in vain and howled shrillly, and the sound echoed in the canyon and did not dissipate for a long time.

Xiang Yang ran back from a distance. In two years, he was much taller. Although he was only eleven years old, he looked like an adult. If he hadn't had a face that looked a little immature, some people would believe that he was twenty years old.

His original shirt was already torn, now he was wearing a pair of trousers made of animal skin, his upper body was naked, and a small animal skin bag hung on his chest. In the sun, his bronze skin was covered with sweat, and a golden light shone under his skin. His arms were bent and he stood under a huge rock. Most of the weight was supported by his broad shoulders. The rock looked like a thousand pounds, and when he ran, the ground under his feet seemed to be trembling.

"Brother Meng, this is the last one, and you still have breeding. Don't slaughter it!" He ran to the front and held the huge rock upwards, then led the area, and gently placed it on the ground, pointing at the boar and shouting.

Lei Meng had already raised the boar to the pigpen and threw it on a large bluestone. He stepped on it and picked up a sharp blade about two feet long with one hand. He was about to start, but when he heard him shouting, he stopped again, scratched his scalp, Mumu said, "Junior brother, it was the master who asked me..."

Before he finished speaking, Liu Gu walked out of a thatched hut: "What's the point? Who told you that your kid has such a big appetite now? If you don't kill it, where can you find blood food for you? Seeing that you are about to enter the Golden Body Realm, what's the point of not having enough food?" As he said that, he looked at the empty pigpen and muttered: "You kid is evil when you practice, and your appetite is also evil..."

Xiang Yang rubbed his nose embarrassedly and smiled embarrassedly.

In the end, Lei Meng slaughtered the boar. The old man left half of the eight treasure soup to Xiang Yang. The pork was marinated and dried on the thatched roof. Based on Xiang Yang's current appetite, a fat pig worth hundreds of kilograms was probably only a few days.

Xiang Yang did not refuse the old man's kindness, but in the early morning of the next day, he disappeared from the canyon and left a note in the hut, saying that he would go out for a few days and hope that the masters would not miss it.

*******

It has been two years since Xiang Yang Jin Body Art is about to be completed. Although the method of cultivating immortals is still the stage of qi induced, he is already very familiar with the introductory methods and is qualified to go out and try it out.

What's more, the foundation has been laid now, but it is not a simple matter to break through the foundation-building period. The elixirs are already exhausted. If you need more energy, you can only go out to find opportunities. Could it be that you are still waiting in the valley for Master Lei Guang to send some elixirs?

More than two years ago, Liu Gu took him and Xiang Xian to the north, while Yushan Hall was in the west of Ambergris Gorge. Xiang Yang naturally would not foolishly go to other people's territory to deliver vegetables, so he walked towards the east.

Among the three masters, Gu Zhen is the most knowledgeable, but the one who is most familiar with the situation near Ambergris Gorge is the second master Yu Tie. The old man has a hot temper and is also an idle person when he was young. He traveled around hundreds of miles. When he was idle, he often brags about his glorious history with Xiang Yang. After hearing too much, he deliberately talks, and Xiang Yang has some clichés.

One hundred and fifty miles east of Rangberg Gorge, there is a Danxue Mountain. There are bare stones without plants and trees. There is a huge rock at the foot of the mountain. There are a cave behind the stones a hundred feet deep. There are strange stones standing in the cave, the stones are red in color, and there is a phoenix chirping when the wind passes.

Of course, Xiang Yang would not think there would be anything good in this cave. What he cared about was the lightning forest next to Danxue Mountain.

There is a forest several miles wide beside Danxue Mountain. It is said that the sky here will thunder out of thin air. Whether it is sunny or rainy, there will always be lightning here. After a long time, the trees there will be broken into pieces, but they are very tenacious and will take root and sprout again after a few years.

Master Lei Guang got the opportunity here, so he had the golden immortal embryo with thunder attribute. Of course, Xiang Yang would not be bored to come here to look for thunder. He was looking for something called thunder grass.

Everything in the world has mutual generation and restraint. Thunder and lightning are extremely terrible things for most living things, but it is a great supplement to this thunder grass.

From the ground, this thunder grass is very ordinary, with iron-green color, meridian lilac, about one foot high, and long sword-shaped leaf petals. However, the roots of this thunder grass are extremely developed. Such a small grass can often cover several feet of a circle.

What is particularly amazing is that the roots of the thunder grass on the same land will be tied together to form a huge net. This is also one of the reasons why the thunder grass is not afraid of lightning. Through the transmission of the root system, all the thunder grass is responsible for each lightning strike.

According to the records of the Book of Everything, there will be a motherweed in each piece of this thunder grass. The motherweed is the center of all thunder grass. There is a globular stem block deep at its root. The size depends on the number of years of this thunder grass, but the smallest one is also a foot wide.

This spherical stem can store the power of lightning. According to Master Lei Guang, the power of lightning is actually a phenomenon caused by the fusion of vital energy. It is just that it is released violently and cannot be used by ordinary people.

However, the power of thunder and lightning left by the Lue Grass is relatively gentle. In the experience passed down by Master Lei Guang, there is a method of using the power of thunder and lightning to stimulate the meridians and dantian, and it is more likely to absorb the mutated vitality. He also practiced hard in Danxue Mountain for a while back then. Of course, now that his cultivation is getting deeper, the power of thunder and lightning in the Lue Grass can no longer meet his needs for practice.

This thunder grass has no other use except this rhizome, and this rhizome cannot be used as medicine. The power of lightning is a partial gate, so few people will dig it. It is said that there are even motherweeds that have been for thousands of years in the area next to Danxue Mountain.
