Time flies, and one year has passed in the blink of an eye.
Now Song Xin's ability is no longer as good as Tuoye's. After a year of beatings, his body has become tall, strong and flexible. Now even if those Wei family members beat him, he will not be injured at all.
He sometimes laughs at himself. Now he seems to have the help of an "old grandfather" like the one in Shuang's article. However, the skills that should be learned cannot be learned at once, but must be practiced hard. Song Xin even felt that he should be the kind of protagonist who didn't give the author any money, so he deliberately created this difficult mode to fill his own shoes.
"If I am really the protagonist of a novel, then the author must be...hey, forget it, how is this possible..."
Since his body has become stronger and his qi training every night has gone very smoothly, he is now able to complete the qi training process independently and is gradually able to withstand the physical pain caused by transforming profound energy.
Without those ghost veins sucking blood at night, Tuoye's spirit became more radiant. Tuoye was already in good health, and the Wei family had enough food and clothing every day, and now she has grown into a beautiful girl.
The two talked every day and their relationship became closer.
When the Wei family saw the two of them exercising, they thought they were just having fun and had no suspicion.
As Ji expected, Liu Jing only came back occasionally to visit during this year, and spent most of his time in the Wei family's annex to recuperate. But every time he comes back, he looks better. The last time he came back was three months ago, and Liu Jing already looked several years younger.
Finally one day, Yu Ji told Song Xin, "I think you are about to have a breakthrough. Starting today, you will continue the process of transforming profound energy three times before sending it into the spiritual core."
"Why is this?" Song Xin has always been transformed once, but he doesn't know that he can be transformed multiple times.
"This is the second thing I want to tell you about Qi training, because after all, Xuan Qi is the Qi of the outside world and is not pure. Later, someone discovered that they did not rush to send the transformed Xuan Qi into the spiritual core, but let them By walking through the meridians again, the true energy will eventually become purer and better integrated with the body. This process is of great benefit to the tempering of your body. When you use spells in the future, you will not be distracted by too strong spiritual power. Your meridians are squeezed out."
"I understand." Song Xin nodded seriously.
He closed his eyes and began to practice Qi according to the Qi training songs. Soon his body became light and airy. At the same time, he clearly felt a vague aura around him. Song Xin took a deep breath, and a stream of mysterious energy poured into his body, and then his true energy enveloped it.
Yu Ji said: "Now increase it to three times, and I will assist you."
Song Xin closed his eyes slightly and nodded.
He thought that the transformed Xuan Qi would not be so violent, but he unexpectedly discovered that the Xuan Qi was only temporarily tamed. Once there was a chance to enter the meridians again, they would become even more violent, and the true Qi that opposed them would be stronger. It was like two armies facing each other in a brutal fight.
In this way, after Song Xin persisted in the third transformation, the true energy in his body began to be unable to resist the restlessness of the mysterious energy, and Song Xin's face became extremely ugly.
Yu Ji knew what was happening, and with a little finger, he instantly helped Song Xin suppress the restless profound energy in his body.
Song Xin gritted his teeth and persisted to complete the three cycles. When the finally fused Qi was absorbed by the spiritual core, Song Xin had an unprecedented experience. Not only his body, but also his mood was extremely happy.
"How do you feel?" Yu Ji asked when Song Xin opened her eyes.
"I feel that after three transformations, the mysterious energy seems to be closer to me... Moreover, after the energy enters the spiritual core, it feels more comfortable."
"That's because the mysterious impurities have been removed more thoroughly. There will be six more difficult transformations in the future. In the future, if you can withstand the pain of ninety-nine and eighty-one transformations, you will be qualified to face the heavenly tribulation of a practitioner. .”
"Eighty-one times!?" Song Xin was shocked. Now he had exhausted all his strength three times and the pain was unbearable. Eighty-one times is so terrifying, but looking at Yu Ji's relaxed look in front of him, it's hard to imagine how Yu Ji practiced back then.
In the days that followed, Song Xin began to follow the instructions and increase the number of times the profound energy circulated in his body, three times at first. A month later, he successfully adapted to three cycles, and even gradually adapted to the more difficult six cycles. His strength was also significantly stronger.
Yu Ji also clicked his tongue in surprise, "You're not stupid at all. There are some alchemists with poor qualifications outside who can't achieve six cycles in their lifetime. It seems that my spiritual fruit has worked."
"Senior, is this the breakthrough you are talking about?"
Yu Ji shook his head and said: "Do you remember what I said once, when you break through, your spiritual core will produce cantilevers, and each additional one is one level. Now your body is just stronger than ordinary people. When you break through The first level is when you truly become a practitioner."
"But I can't feel whether I have a cantilever or not."
"When you break through to the first level, you will understand the ability to look within, and you will naturally feel it."
A month later, Song Xin began to feel distended and stuffy in her lower abdomen, and there were faint pulsations in her Dantian.
At night, when Song Xin sent the profound energy transformed six times into his spiritual core, he felt the distension and pain in his lower abdomen become stronger and clearer.
The spiritual core in his Dantian, which was originally the size of the tip of a little finger, actually expanded several times in an instant. Moreover, it seemed to be constantly pulsing and expanding, and was constantly spitting out gray air.
"Breathe normally now and don't arouse the Qi anymore." Yu Ji guided and reminded.
Song Xin nodded and did as he was told. He felt like a woman about to give birth, and Yu Ji's words also sounded like a gynecologist...
I don't know how long this bulging lasted, but the spiritual core suddenly shrank and became the size of a fingertip again. But this time, a gray cantilever stretched out from the gray air mass, like a person stretching.
At the same time, Song Xin felt that the muscles on his body suddenly bulged and trembled, and the toughness of his meridians instantly increased several times. Then the cantilever of the spiritual core was swung, and he released a stream of spiritual energy, and a cool feeling rushed straight into Song Xin's brain. Inside, there was something like a water droplet, which made a snapping sound when it was rushed by the spiritual energy. It is as if a drop of water fell into the deep pool in the deep and quiet cave, which is deep and quiet.
The drop-shaped object in Song Xin's mind trembled, quickly spread, and finally formed a ball of blue light.
After that, Song Xin's senses changed wonderfully. Even if he closed his eyes, he could still feel Yu Ji not far away, smiling and stroking his beard. He could also clearly feel the meridians and spiritual core in his body. This is when the source seeds of the sea of consciousness planted more than a year ago were stimulated to form the sea of consciousness.
Song Xin opened his eyes and said happily: "Senior Yu, I have made a breakthrough!"
"Your Consciousness Sea Origin Seed has also been stimulated. Now you can look inside your spiritual core and see if there is a cantilever above it?"
"Well, as soon as I close my eyes, I can feel it in my Dantian, constantly emitting gray energy outwards."
When Yu Ji heard that Song Xin's aura was gray, a flash of surprise flashed across his face, but he was still secretly surprised, "Is the gray aura because of the jade ring?"
"Senior Yu, I feel that my true energy is different from before. In the past, knowledge felt like a muddy energy, but now I can feel..."
"There are ten strands, right?"
"Um."
"After you plant your spiritual core and advance to a higher level, three channels of true energy will be added. Two of them are dedicated to your spiritual core and sea of consciousness. Together with the seven channels of true energy in your body, they are called the 'original true energy'. Never let others know their characteristics. If they are lost, it will lead to a decline in realm."
"I remember." Song Xin nodded solemnly.
"The extra last channel is called 'Adaptive Qi' by practitioners. The so-called adaptability means changing according to the time and situation. If you cannot bear the pain of transforming profound energy, these adaptive Qi can be used as reinforcements. If necessary To hide your identity, you can adjust it to cover up your original Qi, and you can also use it to save people. Every time your level improves, the number of 'Adaptive Qi' will increase. The more the number, the better."
Song Xin secretly remembered the difference between true energy.
"Now that you are a practitioner, it is time to escape from here."
Song Xin's face lit up with joy, "Finally we can leave?!"
"With your skills now, I'm afraid no one in the Wei family can stop you. At this point, I'd better tell you everything. Before leaving, you must promise me one thing."
