Lingxue Pavilion is built to the north of the Taoist temple. It looks inconspicuous from the outside. It is only two stories high, but it occupies a large area of about two acres. The walls built on the ground are all made of bluestone bricks and are built underground. The practice room is made of hard rocks, which is extremely solid.
With the token obtained by his master, Chen Fan was practicing with concentration in one of the training rooms. In the lower Dantian of the body, the true energy forms a spiral olive shape that rotates slowly. At the same time, it is divided into two lines up and down. It is output from the top, flows through the meridians of the body, and then input from the bottom, forming a perfect cycle. Chen Fan's consciousness follows the movement of the true energy, feeling the trend of every bit of true energy, and using Cunsi to remember every change. Although his consciousness is running at a high speed, his mind has never been so calm, and there is a sense of peace and tranquility. Feeling at home.
The more he practiced, the calmer Chen Fan's mind became. Before setting off for Jiankang, he was lucky enough to enter the entry state and form the daily circulation of the true energy. Later, although he continued to practice on the road, he always felt that something was missing. , there was almost no increase in Zhenyuan cultivation. At the time, he thought it was due to the environment. However, when Chen Fan entered the practice room, a feeling of peace of mind poured into his heart unconsciously, which made him realize that besides the environment, there was another reason. It's the state of mind. When you go out, you subconsciously lack a sense of security and become more impetuous, which makes the mind not calm enough, which is also a reason for the slow progress of Zhenyuan. Therefore, after Chen Fan was in the practice room, he was not in a hurry to collect Qi and absorb the spiritual energy from the outside world. Instead, he calmed down and smoothed the movement of the true energy in the body.
Chen Fan knew that his cultivation speed could be said to be extremely fast. In just three months, he had already touched all the three realms before Xiantian. This was due to the credit of "Chengying" and the reason for obtaining the sword essence. It can be said that It's a coincidence, but his foundation is not solid. If he wants to lay a solid foundation, he must be proficient in the use of true energy. Especially in the later stage, the more true energy there is, if he wants to enter the stage of transparency and subtlety, and accurately control his own true energy. It will become more difficult to apply it, so now we must first make up this link. For ordinary people, it may require long-term training, but for him, there is no opportunistic way, which is to rely on the Cunsi in the transparent realm, while practicing Qi, while memorizing the movement of the true energy in the body, so that the consciousness can Synchronize with the use of true energy, so that you can use it skillfully. Ordinary practitioners would not dare to practice at the same time, because in their consciousness, they need to focus, seek stability, and not be eager for quick success. But for Chen Fan, with the help and understanding of "Cheng Ying", it is naturally not a problem.
At this time, Chen Fan was practicing the cultivation techniques recorded in the "Northern Zhenwu Xuanjing". Although he had previously relied on "Feng Zhixue" to enter the Zhoutian realm, Chen Fan felt that the "Northern Zhenwu Xuanjing" was the basis. "School of Wind" is an evolved version, and you still need to learn the basics well. If you have the opportunity in the future, you may be able to create your own "Scholar of Wind". The inner strength and mental methods of these two versions do not conflict, and naturally they must be used skillfully. .
As time goes by, in addition to cultivating the true essence, Chen Fan also practices swordsmanship. The basic swordsmanship movements must be proficient. In addition, he has learned the twelve swordsmanship styles from the study of wind, especially the Qi gathering style. This is Chen Fan's swordsmanship. The only sword technique learned from the School of Wind that can be combined with the cultivation of true energy, naturally requires precision and proficiency. However, this technique has extremely high requirements on meridians. If Chen Fan's meridians were not different from ordinary people, he would not be able to adapt to it. The need for cultivation, even if it is like this, after practicing for a long time, you will feel soreness in your meridians, and you need to change your cultivation method. Moreover, using the Qi Gathering Style to cultivate your true energy is obviously not as effective as using a meditative posture. However, when fighting with others, you can Absorbing external spiritual energy to replenish true energy is undoubtedly of great value.
Practicing in the Lingxue Pavilion is indeed much faster than outside. Unfortunately, for Chen Fan, there was too little spiritual energy in the practice room. At first, after absorbing it for two hours, the spiritual energy in the practice room was almost exhausted. Later, as he became more proficient in using the true energy, he could practice in just one and a half hours. The spiritual energy in the room will basically be consumed. Fortunately, there are holes left in the room, which can not only be used for ventilation, but also spiritual energy will continuously flow in from it. However, the amount is too small, and Chen Fan has not opened it to inhale fiercely. For spiritual power plug-ins, in order to seize the time to practice, when the spiritual power in the room is exhausted, it is better to stop collecting Qi and practice other things. Fortunately, in addition to absorbing spiritual power, you also need to practice swords, polish your true energy, cultivate your spiritual consciousness, rest, Eating and waiting is not a waste of time.
What Chen Fan doesn't know is that for ordinary people, the spiritual power in the practice room cannot be absorbed in one day. After all, there is a process of absorption and refining, and it has not reached the level of channeling and using spiritual consciousness in the third level of fugue. Perceiving the spiritual power of the outside world cannot detect the amount of spiritual power at all. Only during the process of Qi training, one can judge the situation of the spiritual power of the outside world by sensing the increase in true energy. This is a relatively long process. For people like Chen Fan, Special existences are a minority after all. Fortunately, all this has not attracted the attention of the Taoist priests responsible for managing spiritual power in the Lingxue Pavilion. After all, the total amount Chen Fan has absorbed is still relatively small, and his daily absorption level is equivalent to that of Palace Master Xu. It's just much faster.
The generation of spiritual power in Lingxue Pavilion is quite troublesome. Generally speaking, spiritual power is conceived by the power of heaven and earth. It is a miraculous creation of nature. It is impossible to create it artificially out of thin air, and Zhenwu Temple cannot do it out of thin air. It is created but relies on the transformation of matter. In ancient times, the five elements spiritual stones were most commonly used. The five spiritual stones of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth can release five different spiritual powers for practitioners to use. In the current era of Chen Fanchu, the five kinds of spiritual stones have long been exhausted. Even if there are still stored, they are reluctant to take them out and use them easily. Fortunately, human wisdom is infinite. After long-term pondering and research, cultivators have discovered He created a magic circle that can transform items with spiritual power into spiritual power that can be absorbed by the human body through the magic circle. However, these items are also extremely precious and must have spiritual power themselves. They can be five element minerals, jade, crystals, Even magic weapons and plants, as long as they have spiritual power. In addition, during the transformation process, it is also necessary to use Hunyuan wood and gilded water. These two substances are mainly used to promote the operation of the magic circle and dissolve the spiritual power in the substance. Fortunately, these two substances still have production in nature. It comes out, and there is less loss during use. A sect with a long history like Zhenwu Guan still has some stocks.
Chen Fan, who devoted himself to spiritual practice, stayed in the Lingxue Pavilion for ten days. Unknowingly, it entered the twelfth lunar month. At this time, the cold wind was already blowing in Gusu, and the slanting eaves were covered with long strings. frozen. The early morning of the twelfth lunar month was extremely cold, but this did not affect Chen Fan's mood. He had breakfast in the practice room and took the time to absorb the spiritual power in the practice room. With a heart full of longing for the future, Left Lingxue Pavilion.
After leaving Lingxue Pavilion, Chen Fan did not intend to go home, but went straight to class. I haven't been to school for a long time, and I'm a little unfamiliar with teachers and classmates. And I'm about to face the big exam for freshmen. I need to get in touch with everyone quickly. The most important thing is to understand the academic progress clearly and strive to get a good ranking. At the very least, I can't Losing Master’s face. Chen Fan knew that although his master, Jia Shuo, did not have high demands on him, deep down he still had great expectations for him, especially after Palace Master Xu accepted Xiao Qing, his direct disciple. Subconsciously, he still hopes that Chen Fan can compete with Xiao Qing, except for the martial arts competition of course. In Master Jia's mind, Chen Fan's intelligence is not bad, but he is not the material to fight with others.
Before arriving at Yiyetang, Chen Fan heard the roar of cheers from the crowd. In the cold wind, in the square in the backyard of Yiyetang, all the students gathered in a circle, leaving an open space in the middle. Two people were fighting fiercely. One was wielding a sword, and the other was using a sword. During the fight, the two people were already getting hot. Steaming white gas. Chen Fan knew both of these two people. The sword wielder was Wu Tong who had eaten with Chen Fan and was the same roommate. Although Chen Fan had never spoken to him, he heard Huang's words as soon as he came back. The teacher mentioned that Mo Jin came in second place in the competition.
Across the crowd, Chen Fan couldn't see clearly, but with his keen perception, Chen Fan vaguely felt that something was wrong with Wu Tong. Mo Jin's sword actually made a faint sound of wind and thunder, which showed that Mo Jin's internal power or true energy had already Having reached the state of minor success, at least the four meridians connecting the Dantian, Yangwei, Yinqiao, and Yangqiao meridians to the limbs have been opened. If it were not like Chen Fan who relied on external force to open the meridians, it would have been so short in such a short period of time. , being able to practice to such an extent is definitely considered a genius in cultivation.
As for Guanwu Tong, the aura on the sword is a little weaker. This weakness may not be visible in the early stages of the battle, but in the later stages of the battle, it can definitely become the key to victory or defeat. The reason why Wu Tong has not been defeated so far is that in addition to his bravery, the most important thing is to rely on external skills. Wu Tong has a strong body and well-developed muscles. He obviously practices external skills and has reached a state of small success. However, after all, external skills are not available. Internal strength has a long lasting power, and over time, it will not be able to sustain it. "If you want to win, you can only avoid the important and take the easy and rely on moves to win." Chen Fan looked at the moves the two of them were fighting each other with, thinking about Wu Tong in his heart, but had no intention of reminding him verbally.
"Where is A Qing?" Inexplicably, Chen Fan missed Xiao Qing. He searched the crowd with his eyes, but did not find him. He was a little surprised why he was not there, but he did not dwell on this issue. He stayed on the periphery and waited for the outcome of the battle.
"Bring a sword with a sword! What a Mo Jin, his sword skills seem to be authentic from other schools!" Seeing Mo Jin's sudden and steady sword, the sword moved lightly, turned around and took a wrong step, separated Wu Tong's sword, and In a wrong step, Wu Tong cut off the hairpin on his head. This was clearly done with swordsmanship. Chen Fan admired in his heart. This was not only the use of moves, but also the use of inner strength that suddenly seemed to be light. If it weren't for Mo If the nearby knife went up a little, Wu Tong's head would probably be gone.
"Mo Jinsheng!"
In addition to the classmates, there were also three Taoist priests wearing Taoist uniforms. One of them, Chen Fan knew him, his surname was Zeng. He often followed Palace Master Xu, and occasionally taught the swordsmanship of Palace Master Xu. , it was this person who spoke. Although Chen Fan didn't know the other two people, he knew that they were Taoist priests from the Law Enforcement Hall, because unlike other Taoist priests, in Zhenwu Temple, only the Taoist priests from the Law Enforcement Hall would hang black and gray two-tone whisks on their handles. The two of them were holding such whisks in their hands, but for some unknown reason, the competition among the freshmen actually alarmed the Law Enforcement Hall.
