"Your elixir is so miraculous. We have made breakthroughs in such a short time. You must know that we have not made any progress in several years. Thank you, little Yangzi!" Xing'er's eyes turned red again.
"Okay, Sister Xing'er, here we go again." Zhou Yang subconsciously wiped away Xing'er's tears with his hands.
Xing'er's pretty face turned even redder, she rubbed her hands together and lowered her head, feeling a little at a loss.
Zhou Yang also noticed something and hurriedly pulled his hand back. She is an eighteen-year-old girl, no longer the little girl she played with ten years ago.
He coughed twice unnaturally and said, "I may have to go out for a while, please pay attention to your safety."
"Little Yangzi, aren't you going back to Tu Yan?" Tiehu asked doubtfully.
"A friend will come over later. We have something to do. By the way, senior brother, have people from the Three Saints Sect and Xuanfu Sect been here again?"
"No, I haven't been here since that time. However, some Lingtian owners near us disappeared inexplicably. I think it was the two bastard sects who did it." Tiehu cursed.
"If these two sects can gather enough manpower, we will be safe. If not, they can do anything. If necessary, you and Mo Weinan will go to the city to hide." Zhou Yang worried.
"Understood." Tiehu and the others nodded.
The four of them had a meal together. After several glasses of wine, Myolie Li couldn't help but peek at Zhou Yang.
Li Tong smiled secretly when he saw this. He had noticed it a long time ago, but he didn't say anything, and he was very happy in his heart.
After sunset, Pu Zheng finally appeared.
The two talked behind closed doors to discuss a specific plan of action.
This time no one from Wanjianmen participated, only Pu Zheng and him. The two decided to leave the city tomorrow afternoon, go around from the West City to the North City, and lurk a thousand miles away.
With the two of them's cultivation, they can handle it as long as there are no level five monsters. However, there are also monsters living in groups in the wasteland, especially at night. Once they collide, it will be extremely dangerous, so the two of them must proceed with caution.
Pu Zheng rides on a level four green wolf, which is faster than the average level five monster. He suggested that Zhou Yang also change to one like this. In this case, he would be able to escape faster when encountering a level five monster.
That night, everyone naturally had another round of drinks in order to welcome Pu Zheng.
Tiehu's personality was quite right with Pu Zheng's temper, and the two of them were going back and forth and had a great time drinking.
After the meal, Pu Zheng handed Zhou Yang a jade slip and said solemnly: "The lady asked me to give it to you. It will be useful for this operation. This is a family heirloom of the lady. She doesn't want the third person to know about it."
"Understood." Zhou Yang nodded.
He was very curious about the contents of the jade slip. After placing Pu Zheng in place, he impatiently put the jade slip between his eyebrows.
"Wood Breath Jue!"
There is actually a set of spells inside the jade slip.
Zhou Yang was overjoyed. He currently lacked the secret skills. Except for the Xuangang Jue and the Sky-piercing Sword Jue, as well as the two entry-level flame techniques and the Kongxuan Palm, there are no other techniques and techniques.
There are some on the market, but not only are they not of high quality, they are also terrifyingly expensive.
Sima Ling'er's secret family technique is absolutely unmistakable. Zhou Yang looked carefully and realized it seriously.
The Wood Breath Technique is a kind of air-sealing technique. After practicing this technique, one can be like the surrounding plants and trees, without any human breath, and can avoid the detection of cultivators and even monsters.
This technique was created by the ancestors of the Sima family, and is best practiced by practitioners of the wood attribute. Judging from this, Sima Zheng and Ling'er should both have Wood physiques.
For this operation, Sima Ling'er actually handed over the family's secret to him and Pu Zheng, which shows how seriously she takes this matter.
There is not much content in Mu Xijue. After Zhou Yang checked it carefully, he remembered almost it.
This technique is practiced in three steps. The first step is to gather the spiritual energy into the Dantian, and not let it spread to the whole body.
Because when a cultivator encounters danger, he will naturally disperse spiritual power into his meridians to prepare for battle. This step requires that spiritual power be hidden in the Dantian under any circumstances and cannot be interfered by external factors. In fact, it means changing the habit of using spiritual power.
The second step is to hold your breath and stop breathing.
The Wood Breath Technique has a complete set of breath-holding methods, which is even more mysterious than the Fetal Breath Technique. After practicing in this way, the time you can hold your breath will become longer and longer.
The specific method is to give up the habit of breathing with the heart and lungs, and instead use the acupoints to breathe. When holding breath, the heart stops beating and the lungs no longer inhale any gas. Spiritual energy is slowly inhaled from the large and small orifices in the body and gradually dispersed throughout the body to maintain the overall balance of qi and blood in the body, eventually replacing the function of heart and lung breathing.
This step is the most difficult. It requires diligent study and practice, familiarity over and over again, and adjustment again and again. The longer you hold your breath, the more obvious the effect of this secret technique. In the end, you can even fake your own death, which ordinary cultivators cannot detect at all.
The third step is to breathe like vegetation. After you adapt to breathing spiritual energy through acupuncture points all over your body, some spiritual energy fluctuations will occur, which may still be detected. The key to this step is to reduce the inhalation of spiritual energy, and finally reach the same level as the intake of vegetation.
The speed of practicing Wood Breath Jue is related to the physique and understanding of the practitioner. If you have a Wood constitution, you can practice quickly and master the essentials within a few days. The rest is just proficiency. It will be more difficult if you have a non-Wood physique, but if you have a good understanding, it won't be too slow.
The effects achieved by Wood Breath Jue can be divided into three levels. In the first level, only those with more than three to five levels can detect their own breath. This is the lowest level. Zhou Yang is now at the fourth level of the Lingtai. After cultivating the first level of Wood Breath Jue, at least those who are at least the seventh level of the Lingtai can detect his aura.
The second level can only be detected by those who are five or more levels above themselves. Of course, if you are at the peak level of Lingtai, then naturally only cultivators of the first level of Tianyuan or above can detect it.
The third level can only be detected by those who have surpassed one level or more. This is also the highest level.
This level is much more practical. For example, if it is the first level of the Lingtai itself, then only cultivators of the first level of Tianyuan or above can detect it.
However, similar to the Earth Fire Body Tempering Technique, to reach the highest level, only wood attribute cultivators can do it. Cultivators of other attributes have basically no hope.
Since the Wood Breath Jue does not require heart and lung breathing, it can also hold its breath in the water and survive like a water plant.
Although Zhou Yang does not have a wood physique, his understanding is extremely high. In just one night, he had mastered the basics of the Wood Breath Technique, and all that was left was to study hard and practice hard.
It's just that time is tight, and he must strive to reach the first level before the day after tomorrow. In this case, there will be one more way to save life.
As for reaching the second level, it would probably be too much without a year and a half of hard training.
Although Mu Xi Jue has little content and simple records, it is not easy to practice in practice. Zhou Yang experienced a lot of pain that night.
There is no one to disturb you in the quiet room, and the first step is easy to control. What is slightly more difficult is whether one can control spiritual power in other situations. The second step of holding your breath is very sad. People are used to breathing with their heart and lungs, and if they suddenly close their heart and lungs and forcefully change this habit, the body will instinctively resist.
You can persist for more than ten breaths or dozens of breaths, and those with good qualifications can persist for half a stick of incense. But if the time is longer, the body will naturally not be able to bear it, and the heart and lungs will automatically breathe at this time. The Wood Breath Technique requires you to hold your breath forcibly at this time, completely stopping the beating and breathing of the heart and lungs. It is equivalent to fighting between yourself and the heart and lungs. The whole process is extremely painful.
In the end, whoever can defeat whomever has the upper hand will be able to persist longer.
Zhou Yang gritted his teeth and persisted, feeling severe pain one after another. He couldn't imagine how a weak girl like Ling'er could survive it. Didn't she have to endure such pain if she had a wooden constitution?
After he could hold his breath for half a stick of incense, Zhou Yang used the Wooden Breathing Technique, opened the acupoints all over his body, and began to slowly absorb the surrounding spiritual energy.
Wisps of spiritual energy surged into his body from all directions, which could be seen with the naked eye, and the pain at this time slowly eased. This was done over and over again, and finally at dawn, a small amount of success was achieved, and the fluctuations in spiritual power were no longer noticeable.
This also means that it is difficult for cultivators of the same realm to detect his breath with their spiritual consciousness.
Early the next morning, Zhou Yang woke up from his meditation, took a long breath, and then put away the secret technique and walked out of the room.
Pu Zheng stood at the edge of the spiritual field and looked into the distance, as if he was checking the growth of the spiritual herbs and elixirs.
The large-leaf green grass in the spiritual field will mature next month. This is the time when the grass is lush and green, and the spiritual energy is rich. There are so many of them, which naturally makes people feel extremely comfortable.
However, neither Zhou Yang nor Tie Hu had any share of this season's income. They had already spent their share of spiritual stones in advance. However, seeing that the spiritual grass and elixir were growing well and a good harvest was in sight, Zhou Yang was very happy.
"How is it?" Pu Zheng noticed Zhou Yang's arrival and did not turn around, but said calmly.
"I have some experience, but I'm not yet proficient."
"My understanding is good. Just practice hard in the future. It's best to be able to use it by then."
"It should be about the same." Zhou Yang nodded.
"Oh, very good." Zhou Yang's confidence surprised Pu Zheng.
"Shall we leave now?"
"good."
Naturally, it is difficult for Pu Zheng to behave with this face, and he needs to change his appearance. However, Zhou Yang was wary of the clean-faced old man. He couldn't figure out the depth, but he also hesitated.
But he didn't know where there was anything other than disguise, especially one with skills as good as the old man's.
After thinking about it, he still led Pu Zheng there.
The clean-faced old man was still sitting on the wooden chair as usual, ignoring the visitors.
"Senior, please cleanse your face for my eldest brother." Zhou Yang saluted with a very respectful attitude.
"He doesn't need to clean his face." The old man said indifferently.
Zhou Yang was secretly shocked and thought that Liu Menglong was right. This old man really doesn't disguise himself easily. How could he figure out Pu Zheng's identity?
"I'll give you double the amount of spirit stones." After a moment, Zhou Yang tried again.
"If nothing happens, you can leave." The old man simply gave the order to expel the guests, and then closed his eyes to rest.
"Hmph, let's go." Pu Zheng snorted coldly.
"You are a disciple of the Xuanfu Sect, right?" Just when the two were about to step out of the room, the old man suddenly said.
