"I have to become stronger no matter what. It's hard for me to stay in this mansion!"
Returning to his small courtyard, Jiang Li sat on a wooden bench in the courtyard, thinking secretly in his heart.
"A few years ago, there was a concubine in the house who fell in love with Jiang Shirong, but she just said something to contradict the eldest lady, and soon after she lost her footing, she fell into the well and drowned.
"I blatantly disobeyed her order and went to see Jiang Shirong to ask for the opportunity to obtain Wenqi infusion. This would offend her taboo, and she would never give up.
"If I stay in the Hou Mansion, my life will never be in my own hands. Only by leaving here can I be able to reach great heights and show off my talents. Jiang Shirong can become an official with literature and become a marquis with martial arts. I can do the same, even better than others. He is stronger, he can pay homage to an official, and he can rectify his mother’s name!”
Jiang Li clenched his fists and recalled some memories of this body in this life.
The predecessor had been living in the Hou Mansion since he was born, dependent on his mother. Although his life was poor, it was peaceful.
But when she was seven years old, her mother was suddenly accused by several servants of stealing several treasures that Emperor Jing had given to his eldest wife He Lou.
Soon, a dozen slaves, led by the third housekeeper, searched out the stolen jade and gemstones from Jiang Li and his mother's room.
He Loushi reprimanded and ridiculed her in public, which made her mother very angry and sick. Jiang Shirong ignored her and made her mother cry all day long. Soon after, she became seriously ill and passed away.
In my memory, my mother was virtuous, gentle, knowledgeable, and indifferent to the world. She almost never left the courtyard. She also had very little regard for money and material things. It was impossible for her to steal the Helou family's treasures.
There must be something hidden in this.
It's a pity that Jiang Li was young at the time, and when he grew up, he was targeted and suppressed by the He Lou family, and was unable to find out the truth.
"Perhaps my rebirth is also related to the He Lou clan!"
On the night when Jiang Li's predecessor passed the exam to be a scholar, he felt extremely sleepy and listless. He thought he was over-study and just rested early.
But when he woke up the next day, the soul in his body was no longer the concubine of Marquis Zhenwu, but a border guard from another world.
There must be something weird in this!
Jiang Li inherited the body of his predecessor, and he also had to bear all the karma and grudges.
What's more, when he was reborn, he absorbed the soul power and memories of his predecessor, and felt the same as in his previous life.
"The golden pages have been activated. I wonder what magical powers I can practice within them!"
Jiang Li's mind moved and he entered the starry sky world in the pages of the book again.
Thirty-six nebula vortexes hung high in the starry sky, shining brightly and mysteriously. He randomly selected a nebula vortex and tried to communicate with it with his mind.
"Knowing the future against the odds"
"Grade: middle-grade creation"
"Opening conditions: Crushing Void Essence and Blood, Thoughts of the Yang God, and Infinite True Qi!"
"Supernatural power: insight into the past, present, future, all heavenly secrets, and the ability to predict the future. Can know the fate of all living beings. Understand all cause and effect..."
Jiang Li's thoughts made slight contact with the nebula vortex, and a message emerged clearly in his heart.
"Knowing the future against the will and understanding all cause and effect, you really have such magical powers!"
Jiang Li was so surprised that he withdrew his thoughts and tried to communicate with other nebula vortices.
"Golden Light on the Ground"
"Grade: Dongtianxiaxiapin"
"Opening conditions: Human Immortal Essence and Blood, Thunder Tribulation Divine Sense, and Five Elements True Qi!"
"Supernatural power: magical movement on land, turning into golden light, traveling thousands of miles in an instant!"
…
"Flying sand and walking stones"
"Grade: Dharma Image Lower Grade"
"Opening conditions: blood of divine transformation, soul-stealing power, wisdom and energy!"
"Supernatural powers: flying sand, rolling stones, and violent winds!"
…
"Mediating with God"
"Grade: Creation Supreme"
"Opening condition: Will of the Other Side!"
"The magical power of creation: mediate the heaven and earth, control creation, evolve the universe, and create all spirits!"
…
Jiang Li communicated with the vortexes of the nebula, and the excitement in his heart could not be suppressed. Each of the thirty-six transformations of Tiangang possesses great power and can produce countless magical powers.
"Although the golden pages record all the changes in Tiangang, a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. I can't aim too high, so I have to move forward step by step!"
Jiang Li took a deep breath and exhaled, and soon calmed down.
The Thirty-six Transformations of Tiangang are divided into four levels, from high to low, namely Creation, Cave Heaven, Dharma Image, and Lingshi.
Among them, Jiang Li did not have the conditions to activate the supernatural powers at the Creation and Cave Heaven levels. He could only unlock and practice the magical powers at the Lingshi and some Dharma-Image levels.
The Yin Shen I met in Yinwu Pavilion before was a Taoist master in the body-taking realm.
He took possession of Jiang Li's body, but aroused the protective instinct of the golden page, directly depriving the Yin God of all its soul power and bringing it into the starry sky world.
The golden pages were thus officially activated.
The soul-shaped light group floating in the corner of the black stone platform was the soul power of the Yin God.
"No matter what level of magical power, Qi is needed to drive it. Among the Thirty-six Transformations of Tiangang, only the Lingshi-level Nine-breath Conquering Qi and Shenyou Taixu have the method of cultivating Qi. Which one is better for me to practice first!"
Jiang Li thought secretly in his heart.
Nine breaths of Qi correspond to the inheritance of Qi channels, refining a breath of true Qi in the body.
A master of Qi pulse can release his true energy to injure people from afar, and he can even condense his energy into weapons, transforming into dragons, tigers, beasts, and birds with wings. His true energy drives his physical body, and he can control the air to fly.
The wandering Taixu corresponds to the inheritance of Taoism and the cultivation of soul power.
Taoist masters are mysterious and unpredictable. Their souls can separate from their bodies, manifest themselves, drive magical weapons, and hurt people with flying swords. In the end, they can even abandon their physical bodies and transcend life and death.
However, the shortcomings of Taoism are also very prominent. Each level of improvement is extremely difficult, and the cultivation process is even more dangerous. If you are not careful, you will lose your soul.
When the realm is low in the early stage, practitioners have almost no means of self-protection.
Jiang Li is trapped in the Hou Mansion, so it is obviously unrealistic to practice Taoism first.
Everything here is filled with the masculine blood of warriors, and the soul is a negative thing. Without the protection of the teacher, I am afraid that my ghost soul will be attacked by the yang evil of blood and spirit, and my soul will be scattered as soon as I leave the body.
"It's decided. I'll practice the Nine Breaths Convince Qi first. When I have the means to protect myself in the future, I can practice Taoism, magical powers, wandering gods, and flying in the sky!"
Jiang Li pondered for a long time and finally made a decision.
Although the Nine-breath Convincing Qi corresponds to the inheritance of Qi, the magical powers in it are also of great benefit to the practice of Taoism. Once you master the Nine-breath Convincing Qi, you will not be afraid of the blood and yang of the warriors in the house when you practice Taoism.
Moreover, the advancement speed of the five lower realms of Qi Meridian is much faster than that of Martial Meridian, which is more suitable for Jiang Li's current situation.
Jiang Li concentrated his mind and drifted towards a nebula vortex to communicate with it.
"Nine Breaths of Convince"
"Grade: Lingshi"
"Opening conditions: Haunted Ghost"
"Exercise method: "Lingbao Tianzun's Innate Qi Guidance Technique", the supreme method of regulating the breath."
"Supernatural power: absorb the original energy of the universe, breathe out nine breaths, and restore the body, soul power, and true energy in an instant."
…
"Sacrifice and refine the ghosts to gain magical powers!"
With a thought in Jiang Li's mind, a ray of starlight fell from the nebula whirlpool representing the Nine Breaths of Convince, and lightly swept over the soul-shaped light group at the corner of the black stone platform. The originally solid soul group instantly became much lighter and its size also shrank. One third.
"There is no universe and Kanli, but a wave of energy spreads across the world!"
The starlight in Yin Shen's soul was rolled up and returned to the nebula vortex. The fog that originally shrouded the nebula gradually dispersed, and a hall condensed by starlight emerged in the nebula vortex.
When Jiang Li walked into the Hall of Stars, he was enveloped in countless ideas containing the principles of the Tao. A passage of scripture that was true and simple but pointed directly to the origin of the Tao flowed in his heart.
"The innate one is the Qi of the true one. The Qi is transformed into the void. Because the Qi transforms into form, this Qi comes from nothingness. The acquired Qi is the Qi of the blood and Qi. The Qi is transformed into the valley. The Qi is the invisible blood and the blood is the tangible Qi."
"The hidden Qi is Qi, the shape is Qi, Qi falls into Dantian and becomes the root of breathing."
…
"So this is Qi. I understand that no matter whether you are cultivating Qi, Taoism, or martial arts, the source of power is Qi that was born in the void of the universe. Qi is the foundation of the universe and the source of life!"
"Practice Qi is to inhale Qi into the body and integrate it with Qi. To cultivate Qi, it also requires meditation, but it is much simpler than Taoism."
After an unknown amount of time, his spirit withdrew from the starry sky world and starlight palace, and returned to his physical body. Jiang Li slowly opened his eyes in the dilapidated courtyard of the Hou Mansion, his face beaming with joy.
He took a futon woven from hay and put it under him, sat cross-legged, and followed the essence of the "Lingbao Tianzun Xiantian Yiqi Guidance Technique" to breathe in and out, calm his mind, and his thoughts gradually became ethereal.
Everything around him continued to recede and move away in his perception, and his spirit seemed to have entered another world, silent, empty, grand and profound.
This is meditation, a state of stillness.
Only when a practitioner calms down can his mind and body be united and he can sense the ubiquitous Qi that pervades the void of the universe.
Gradually, Jiang Li could feel some mysterious light spots emerging from the void, falling on his body, and merging with the Qi existing in his body.
These fusions absorbed Qi and filled the whole body. The cold air gradually dissipated from Jiang Li's frozen body, and new power was constantly generated deep in his body.
As his practice deepened, more and more Qi fell into his body and accumulated in Jiang Li's five internal organs and meridians.
When it accumulated to a certain level, the aura in Jiang Li's body gradually became extraordinary, full of vigorous spring energy, circulating through his five internal organs.
Jiang Li's breathing gradually became longer, and his whole body was filled with strength.
The warm winter sun rose from the east, and a ray of morning glow fell through the gaps in the clouds, covering Jiang Li's body with a faint golden glow.
He took a long breath, and white mist came out of his mouth and nose. It lasted for a long time, like a white air python entrenched in the open space of the small courtyard.
Exhaling like a python is one of the characteristics of the second state of Qi.
There are nine realms in Qi channel cultivation.
The first realm is the realm of nourishing qi, which is to nourish qi in the body, cultivate the sense of qi, and nourish the vitality in the five internal organs.
"Lingbao Tianzun's Innate Qi Guidance Technique" is a supreme guidance technique with rapid progress. For the first time Jiang Li practiced it, he directly introduced Qi into the body, cultivated the vitality of the five internal organs, perfected the cultivation of Qi, and directly entered the second realm of Qi. , Luck situation.
In the luck state, the breath can circulate through the meridians of the body, to both arms, and the strength of the arms surges, and to the legs, jumping and speed increase instantly.
"The Guidance Technique is indeed extraordinary. I can use my breath to make my body explode with power. Although it is not as good as the martial arts training slaves in the mansion, it is similar. I am no longer a useless scholar with no power!"
"If you can cultivate to a higher level, you can also release your breath and hurt people from a distance!"
Jiang Li felt relieved, feeling like he was about to drown in the sea but suddenly caught a small boat.
