After settling Xiaoyu, Changsheng returned to the red bamboo forest again.
An old man wearing a large gray shirt, with a wrinkled face, was lying on the ground groaning while his breath was coming in but not coming out. Changsheng could tell at a glance that this was the young man in the gray shirt who had been chopped by his own knife.
At that time, it seemed that he was in his mid-twenties. That was because the Qihai and Zhenyuan stopped his appearance. Now it seems that his actual age is seventy or eighty years old. Not to mention taking care of himself, he even struggles to walk and shout loudly. .
Chang Sheng drew out his bamboo cutting knife and put it against the old man's neck.
"I, I just want to die." The old man said sadly.
Chang Sheng said nothing, just looked at him quietly.
"We don't know the employer, but we can confirm that he is not from Mingque City. His accent sounds a bit like someone from Tianyue."
Tianyue? It is indeed Yuan Zheng! A flash of anger flashed in Changsheng's eyes.
"Please give me death! It would be better for me to be dead than to be alive like this."
"Want to have a good time now? How can it be so cheap?"
Changsheng put away his bamboo chopping knife, grabbed his back collar, and walked to the bamboo burial pit not far away.
Changsheng has never killed anyone, nor does he want to kill anyone. He knew that the old man would not survive even half an hour in the bamboo burial pit that was nearly ten feet deep.
After dealing with the old man, Chang Sheng could finally calm down and feel the changes in his body.
When he saw the young man in gray shirt and the buck-toothed man before, Changsheng inadvertently focused his consciousness and clearly detected the Qi sea in their Dantian.
There is a cylindrical white sea of qi standing quietly in the Dantian of the two people, and a white cyclone is gently surging around the sea of qi.
The standing white sea of qi represents the qi refining period. A circle of cyclones represents the first formation. This shows that both of them are at the beginning of Qi refining, and they have been at the beginning of Qi refining for at least twenty or thirty years.
However, "Zhen Yuan Lu" clearly mentions that any monk, no matter how high his cultivation level or how strong his soul power is, cannot detect other people's Qi Sea with his spiritual consciousness.
The judgment of cultivation level can only be based on its true energy protection and true energy fluctuations during battle.
Is my soul so special that I can even detect other people's Qi seas?
Chang Sheng shook his head and didn't think much about it. Then his spiritual consciousness looked at the slowly rotating white cylindrical sea of qi in his Dantian, and he was extremely excited, because this sea of qi is the foundation of a monk and the basis of a monk's practice.
It's just that you can't practice yet. You need the sea of qi in your Dantian to reach a critical point. After that, the true energy in the sea of qi will enter the meridians of the body. Only then can you practice and become a monk in the qi refining period.
Changsheng knew very well that he could not absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. The only explanation now was that when he cut the young man in gray shirt, he swallowed his true energy, because when the knife went down, he clearly felt the change in his Dantian.
The instant aging of the young man in gray shirt was caused by the immortality devouring all the true energy in his body and the entire sea of qi in his Dantian.
Could it be that what the giant dragon meant by practicing was swallowing other people's true energy? Moreover, shouldn’t the sea of qi stand still? Why is my Qi sea turning?
Changsheng sighed. It was an indisputable fact that his own cultivation required devouring other people's true energy. It was his great luck to be able to survive and start practicing. He had no time to think about anything else.
In the martial arts academy, Changsheng was deep in thought as he walked towards the slaughterhouse. When he saw a tall girl in front of him, he suddenly froze for a moment, then turned around and left quickly.
Changsheng is a bit baffled, she is obviously a student of the martial arts academy. But why did you run when you saw me?
2
The sky has turned a layer of fish belly white, and the sound of morning exercises by students from the martial arts academy has begun to ring in my ears.
In addition to the five rooms in the slaughterhouse, there is also a large slaughterhouse.
Dozens of monster beast corpses were hung in the slaughterhouse, which was more than ten feet high and one hundred feet square. The smallest ones were half a foot in size and weighed more than a hundred pounds. The big one is five or six feet long and weighs nearly a thousand kilograms.
"There are nineteen knives here. You can choose one that suits your hand."
Mr. Tu pointed at a three-foot-square stone table against the wall. On the stone table's knife holder were hung a dozen meat-chopping and deboning knives of different shapes, all about a foot long. The knives were stained with blood.
"Mr. Tu, do these knives have names?" Changsheng picked up a slanted knife and weighed it. At this time, the Molong Ring in the sea of consciousness trembled inexplicably, and an extremely familiar feeling also emerged spontaneously.
"Name it? Just give it a name if you like." As Tu Lao said, he placed a monster beast that weighed more than a hundred kilograms and was not completely dead on the stone table.
"First practice with this red fire badger. Just peel off the meat. It's best if the internal organs can be completely removed."
After Tu Lao finished speaking, he turned around and walked out. But before he went out, he stopped again, thought for a moment or two, took out a bone slip, and handed it to Changsheng.
The black bone fragment is nearly a foot long and about three inches wide. The bone surface is smooth and there is no writing on it. Changsheng picked up the bone slip and used his consciousness to explore it, and the four characters "Extreme Dragon Sword Technique" appeared in his mind.
"Ultimate dragon sword technique?" When Chang Sheng blurted out, Molong Ring trembled again, and the same familiar feeling came to his mind again.
"Can you really detect with your spiritual sense?" Tu Lao asked in surprise.
"Yes, Mr. Tu."
Mortals cannot read the bone slips because all their contents are written by divine consciousness, and only monks can read them by using their divine consciousness.
Innate soul power does not mean having divine consciousness, because having divine consciousness means that you already have a divine soul. Only monks can possess the soul.
"Why is your natural soul power different from what I know? Forget it, since you can detect it with your spiritual sense, let's see if it can be used as a boxing and kicking kung fu practice?"
Mr. Tu had already walked out of the slaughterhouse. After staring at the bone slip for nearly half an hour, Chang Sheng picked up the one-foot dagger in front of him.
"Since the name of the sword technique is Ji Long, then I'll call you Cang Long Dao." Changsheng thought that the giant dragon had said that his ancestor's surname was Cang Hai.
Closing his eyes and concentrating, Changsheng waved the Mosasaurus sword after a few breaths and began to slowly practice the Jilong sword technique.
From the last move of chopping, picking, stabbing, and slicing, to the swords gradually appearing half an hour later, to the swords flying flying an hour later. Changsheng felt that the more he practiced the Jilong sword technique, the more he became familiar with it, and the more he practiced it, the more skillful he became.
It was as if I had been extremely familiar with it, then suddenly forgotten it, and now I remembered it again.
An hour and a half later, Changsheng's sword stopped. Seeing that the red fire badger was still alive on the stone table, he fell with the knife.
It was just this knife that made him freeze in place, because a trace of air clearly entered his Dantian from the red fire badger's body. Then strands of true essence began to slowly swim through the meridians in the body, and the source of these true essence was the sea of qi in the Dantian.
This true energy swimming in the meridians means that Changsheng can practice and become a monk. Obviously, because the true energy in the red fire badger's body was swallowed by him, the sea of qi reached the critical point where it could be cultivated.
But suddenly, Chang Sheng opened his mouth in shock. Because there are actually 20 main meridians that the true energy circulates through!
As we all know, in a monk's body, aside from the clusters of meridians and small meridians connecting acupoints, there are only 12 main meridians that the true essence passes through. This has been true as long as there have been human monks.
Are you a non-human being? No matter where it comes from? No matter how different the cultivation methods are, as long as they are human beings, shouldn’t their internal structures be the same?
Chang Sheng shook his head vigorously and threw away this ridiculous idea. Then he calmed down, deliberately slowed down the speed of the knife, and swung the knife at the body of the red fire badger.
The seemingly haphazard sword technique turned out to be flawless when it fell on the body of the red fire badger.
Every piece of cut meat was close to the bone, and not only was there no shreds of meat left on the bones, there was not even a trace of knife marks. The heart, liver, spleen, lungs and other internal organs were also completely removed without any damage. The complete bones that were removed were as white and shiny as ceramics.
After about a cup of tea, Changsheng put away his knife and stood up. The red fire badger in front of him had already been placed on the stone table with its flesh, bones and internal organs.
At this time, Tu Lao also entered the slaughterhouse.
"Thank you, Mr. Tu. By chance, the Qi Sea was created, and now I can practice." Changsheng said respectfully, clasping his fists and bowing to Mr. Tu.
"What?" Tu Lao was shocked, and he used his spiritual consciousness to explore Changsheng's body without hesitation: "It's normal that the sea of qi can't be detected, but why isn't there even true energy protection?"
Tu Lao was even more confused, and then looked carefully at the red fire badger that was already in pieces on the stone table, and then frowned and asked Xiang Changsheng: "Did you chop the red fire badger with the extremely dragon knife technique? Are you sure it has been done?" Created a sea of qi? Can you use true energy?"
"Yes, Mr. Tu."
"Use your true energy and punch me."
As soon as Tu Lao finished speaking, Chang Sheng jumped up, and then punched Tu Lao in the chest. The power of the fist was very little, but Tu Lao could clearly feel the power of the true energy hitting his body.
An excited expression appeared on Tu Lao's face: "Use the Extreme Dragon Sword Technique to attack me. Remember, you still have to channel your true energy."
Seeing Chang Sheng stunned for a moment, Tu Lao smiled and said, "What? Do you think it will hurt me?"
Chang Sheng also smiled, and then a blade of sword flew around Tu Lao. Tu Lao dodged unhurriedly, and at the same time carefully felt the true energy coming from the knife flower.
After more than ten breaths, Changsheng put away his sword and stood up. But Mr. Tu raised his head and laughed: "Hahahaha, God's will, God's will!"
Mr. Tu walked out of the slaughterhouse while laughing, leaving Chang Sheng alone in a daze: God's will? What the hell?
After a few breaths, Changsheng came back to his senses. He did not take down the corpse of the monster again, but practiced the Extreme Dragon Sword Technique again from a distance.

This is a planet of cultivation, commonly known as the world of cultivation. And here is the only remaining domain in this world of cultivation, called Wuji. Now is the first year of the 52nd year of the town calendar.
The almanac has been in use since the ancient times millions of years ago, with 10,000 years being a period, and the year name is determined based on major events that have far-reaching influence.
The first year of the town calendar, 52nd A, means that this year is the 520,000th anniversary of the establishment of the town boundary department in Wuji Domain.
The place where Changsheng is located belongs to the Nanjiang Continent of the Wuji Domain and the Mingque Dynasty under the Xia Mo Dynasty.
Mingque Martial Arts Academy is the official martial arts academy of the Mingque Dynasty.
Anyone in the dynasty who begins to generate sea qi cyclones in his Dantian and becomes a monk in the early stage of qi refining can be sent to the dynasty martial arts academy to practice.
The martial arts academy will help you lay a solid foundation during the entire period of Qi refining, until you advance to Qi refining, or until you are determined not to reach Qi refining and become a warrior.
The so-called mortals without surnames are based on a global announcement issued by the Zhenjia Division 130,000 years ago in the 39th year of the town calendar: a person born without spiritual roots and unable to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is a mortal, and mortals not only have no idea about the development of the Wuji Realm. It has no effect and seems to be delayed, so it does not deserve a surname.
