In the next three days, Yang and Zhao continued their efforts and unblocked all the four water meridians and wood meridians in their respective bodies.
The next step is the expansion of the meridians.
The two soon discovered the limitations of this technique.
According to the method of [Yunxiao Qi Jue], to expand the meridians, you must first fill them with spiritual energy, and then increase it a little bit every day until it expands to the required size.
However, among the two of them, one has no water spiritual roots, and the other has no wood spiritual roots. Therefore, if you want to infuse the corresponding spiritual energy into these newly opened meridians, you have to rely on the other party.
In other words, you have to repeat the previous operations and continue dual cultivation.
The same is true for the enlargement of Dantian later.
This is equivalent to the fact that only during dual cultivation, with the help of the other party's spiritual roots, these newly opened meridians can be regarded as completely belonging to one's own. Otherwise, it just serves the purpose of storing spiritual energy.
This is a bit like a battery. When fighting, you rely on the stored spiritual energy, and your magic power is indeed twice or even several times higher than that of your opponent. After the battle, if you want to "storage electricity" again, you have to find a suitable "socket" and "power supply".
Isn’t it a bit tasteless?
no way!
First of all, the growth of Dantian is real. After the growth, the spiritual power that can be stored in the Dantian increases. This benefit is real and has nothing to do with which spiritual root you are missing.
This alone is enough to prove that this technique is extraordinary.
Furthermore, even if those meridians are just batteries, wouldn’t it be nice to have these extra batteries when you are fighting spells and have more diverse methods of casting spells?
Moreover, this limitation is not insurmountable.
To replenish the spiritual energy in these meridians, you don't necessarily have to find sockets and power sources. There are other ways.
Yang Zhen once borrowed Zhao Yue'er's water spiritual stone, but found that she could not successfully absorb the water spiritual energy from it.
However, one day, when he came to the formation near the pond in space and took out the spiritual water to drink again, he was surprised to find that there was spiritual energy pouring into these water meridians!
And it is pure water aura that does not contain other attributes!
Each cup of spiritual liquid contains about ten strands of water spiritual energy.
Why can the water spiritual energy contained in these spiritual liquids from the pond be absorbed?
How do they differ from other spiritual fluids?
Innate energy!
Water-based spiritual energy containing innate Qi can enter these water-attribute meridians without relying on water-based spiritual roots!
This discovery undoubtedly gave Yang Zhen one more method. Even if the little girl is no longer around in the future, he can replenish the water meridians at any time.
As she studied the "Five Elements Mending Heaven Sutra", Yang Zhen discovered that this limitation of the technique would not exist forever.
When the meridians of the five attributes are all unblocked, the spiritual energy of the five elements will circulate continuously in the body, and then the energy of chaos will be derived.
As the saying goes, "Chaos generates yin and yang, and yin and yang transform into the five elements." This is the ultimate principle of heaven, which is the change from order to disorder. According to Yang Zhen's previous life physics, it is a process of increasing entropy.
On the contrary, "the five elements return to yin and yang, and yin and yang transform into chaos." This is the way to return to simplicity and truth, to return to the fundamentals, and to the most simple way.
There is no conflict between the two!
The energy of chaos is the vitality that existed in heaven and earth during the Hongmeng period, and is the ancestor of spiritual energy!
In other words, Hongmeng Qi can be transformed into any kind of attribute spiritual energy you want at any time!
At that time, it doesn't matter at all whether you have spiritual roots with other attributes.
Of course, it is still too far for Yang Zhen to open up all five meridians. It is better to expand the water meridians in the body first.
All in all, this is an amazing exercise. In the days to come, Yang Zhen will continue to discover more wonderful features of this practice.
…
From that day on, Yang Zhen and Zhao Yue'er practiced this technique together when they had time, gradually expanding their meridians and Dantian.
The Qi training period is divided into three stages, namely the breaking of the meridians, the expansion of the meridians and the expansion of the Dantian.
Among them, to expand the newly opened meridians, both parties only need to spend half an hour at a time to help the other party input spiritual energy, and it will not take up their own training time.
When a meridian is broken, one meridian can be broken in one day, and sixteen meridians added together can only take sixteen days.
What will really delay the progress of cultivation is the swelling of the Dantian, which needs to be nourished by the spring breeze and rain day after day.
This time, at the first level of Qi training, is about thirty days, and at the second level, it is fifty days. As the cultivation level increases, this time will gradually lengthen.
This is one of the meridians with attributes. The same is true if meridians with the other three attributes are opened.
However, this extension of time is exactly what Yang Zhen needs.
Time soon came to the twelfth lunar month, and almost a hundred days had passed since the two had their first dual cultivation.
During these hundred days, the two of them spent two-thirds of the time practicing together.
Yang Zhen's current cultivation level is already at the second level of Qi training, which is close to perfection.
The eight meridians in the body have all expanded to twice their initial size.
The amount of spiritual energy stored in the Dantian has reached three hundred and twenty-thirty strands.
At the same time, he also practiced several water spells, such as [Water Arrow] and [Water Mist Barrier].
Zhao Yue'er is similar, especially since she has learned the wood-type [healing technique], which will greatly enhance her ability to sustain in future fights.
However, neither of them showed these learned spells in front of outsiders.
After realizing the extraordinary nature of this [Five Elements Mending Heaven Scripture], the two decided to keep this secret and never reveal it to anyone.
Caiyun's body training has reached the third stage, but there is still no trace of spiritual roots.
The little girl always had a cheerful and optimistic smile on her face, but in private, Yang Zhen found her flipping through the book "Mortals" more than once, and the few pages had been repeatedly wet with her sweat.
…
Starting from this day on the twentieth day of the twelfth lunar month, the Yunxiao Sect will have a nearly month-long holiday.
The same is true for Yunxiao Academy. Most of those who were born commoners and traveled far away stayed in the academy and continued their daily practice.
Those who came from aristocratic families left the academy one after another and embarked on their way home.
Of course Yang Zhen, Zhao Yuer and the others want to go home.
However, they don't need to take the teleportation array. There is an ancestor Zhexi's flying boat that can take them.
Since Zhao Beiqing was transferred to Baoyuan Palace, he has been returning to Shuyang County during the Chinese New Year in the past few years.
This brought good news to those Zhao children who had stayed in the sect all year round.
The cost of more than two hundred spirit stones for a round trip made most of them prohibitive and could only stay in the sect year after year.
Now, he can follow his ancestor and return to his hometown.
There are about thirty disciples of the Zhao family in Yunxiao Sect and Yunxiao Academy, half of whom are inner disciples and hold positions in various palaces of the sect.
There are more than a dozen apprentices, including Zhao Ying, who are all on the ancestor's flying boat.
In addition to the children of the Zhao family, Zhexi Patriarch’s spacious and luxurious three-story flying boat also carried children from other families in Zhuyang County.
Even the tolls were waived, it was just a ride anyway. As the first family in Zhuyang County, they still have this courage.
The flying boat was also loaded with some fairy materials purchased in Yunya Town, ready to be transported back to Shuyang for sale.
Among them is also a batch of goods purchased by Yang Zhen and Zhao Yue'er. Just like that time when they went to Qingzhou, the spirit stones earned will be used as Yuezhen Pavilion's profit, and dividends will be distributed to everyone at the end of the year.
A large group of people were very lively on the flying boat, and Yang Zhen also got to know many senior brothers and sisters of the Zhao family.
For this young outer disciple, especially after learning that he had a close relationship with Zhao Yue'er, all the brothers and sisters were very polite to him.
The experiences Yang Zhen had in the Zhao family seemed to be a thing of the past.
However, on this flying boat, Yang Zhen also met someone.
Someone he was reluctant to meet.
