Later, Lu Cheng went to Wu Ding Hall to have a look.
He met his fourth uncle Bai Luo, described his cultivation situation, and asked for advice on how to practice next.
Bai Luo said: "You came just in time! After completing the practice of the Twelve Meridians, you can no longer use the Blood Boosting Technique. Because the Eight Extraordinary Meridians have Qi but no blood, which is implicated in the Dantian Zi Mansion, so you have to practice the 'Qi Nourishing Technique' instead." "
Lu Cheng was surprised and said with a smile: "Fortunately I came here to ask, otherwise I would have missed it."
Bai Luo said: "The Nourishing Qi Jue is a basic method, used to open up the eight extraordinary meridians and warm the Dantian and Zifu. After you open up the eight extraordinary meridians, there will be more detailed Nourishing Heart Jue, Nourishing Liver Jue, etc. Don’t forget to come and learn in time..."
He carefully taught the Qi Nourishing Technique and explained the precautions, focusing on the word "nurture", combined with breathing, absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and paying attention to letting nature take its course, which is different from the forced push of the 'Blood Boosting Technique'.
Lu Cheng kept it in mind and asked: "While nourishing Qi, can I still eat tiger legs, bear paws and venison?"
"Of course you can eat it! You kid is so lucky that you can get tiger legs and bear paws just after you reach the Pulse Refining Realm!" After a moment, Bai Luo added: "There is another thing that is also very important. That is when to consider Entering the blood pool!"
Lu Cheng asked: "Fourth Uncle, when should I enter the blood pool?"
Bai Luo said: "You can enter now, or you can wait until you finish practicing the Eight Extraordinary Meridians."
"What's the difference between the two?"
"If you enter now, you will push the cultivation of the Twelve Meridians to the extreme, but because you have not yet practiced the Eight Extraordinary Meridians, your body's strength is still a little bit low, so you will feel unbearable pain. I'm afraid you won't be able to bear it. If you don’t run out within half an hour, or if you faint inside, you will have failed!”
"Then what if we go in later?"
"If you go in later, the effect will be worse. Because the eight extraordinary meridians have qi but no blood, they lie across the twelve meridians, which blocks the flow of meridian qi and makes it appear not so smooth."
"How could it be? Aren't the eight extraordinary meridians a useful supplement to the twelve meridians?"
"When you enter the blood pool, some of the monster's blood will forcefully rush into your body. That is not your own blood, and will impact and repel the eight extraordinary meridians. The beast's blood travels around your body, and then Only by exiting the Shaoyang meridian of the hand can the effect of body tempering be completed."
Lu Cheng said: "In that case, let's go in now! We won't wait until the eight extraordinary meridians are connected. I'll just grit my teeth and endure it."
Bai Luo said: "If you want to enter the blood pool, you have to fast for two days, bathe and change clothes. It is inconvenient to bathe in such a cold weather. Can you jump into the snow water and bathe?"
"I'll find a way."
There are clay pots in Lu Cheng's cave, and there are iron pots in the jade ring. Firewood is inexhaustible.
Logically speaking, in this world where meat is the main food, it would be troublesome for ordinary people to fast.
Lu Cheng's jade ring contains foods from modern times, including vegetables, tofu, and noodles.
Two days passed in the blink of an eye, and Lu Cheng came to Wuding Hall again.
Bai Luo took the lead and walked into the cave in the back hall.
The cave was illuminated by torches and guarded by several martial arts men.
After walking dozens of feet into the cave, the front became very spacious. There was a huge stone chamber with several torches lit on the surrounding stone walls. Lu Cheng could see clearly that there was a square pool at the bottom of the stone chamber with long sides. About 5 feet long, there was dark red blood inside, bubbling inexplicably "gudugudu".
Bai Luo said: "This is the blood collected by our tribe from hunting wild beasts, including wolves, insects, tigers and leopards, as well as the blood of several large monster beasts. Although the monster beasts have been killed, the spirituality of the blood is still there. You You know, if the level of the monster is very high, it is even possible to be reborn with a drop of blood. Our blood pool does not have a big monster of that level, and there are no such masters among the people. Okay, there are steps here, you can take off your clothes. Clothes, walk in slowly.”
Lu Cheng did as he was told, put his clothes aside and slowly walked into the blood pool.
Although it was old blood that had been stored for an unknown amount of time, the feeling it gave Lu Cheng was steaming.
He seemed to have walked into a large bath. The water in the bath was so hot that it was like plucking a chicken. He suspected that if he soaked for a while, his hair would be able to be pulled out.
Not only was it hot, but there was also a numb and itchy feeling, as if there were countless ants burrowing into his pores.
Lu Cheng couldn't help but let out a low roar: "Oh..."
He felt as if countless ants were biting through his skin and burrowing into his meridians and flesh.
The originally dry blood suddenly became boiling.
Every meridian is boiling, like a ignited river.
The river expands outward little by little with the flames. His meridians widened accordingly.
During this process, the pain gradually increased, sweat dripped from his forehead, his face turned red, like a cooked prawn, and his face became distorted!
He gritted his teeth and buried his head in the pool of blood!
Because there are meridians on the head and face too!
The pain is getting worse! Pain from the inside out, every muscle is spasming!
Lu Cheng assumed a "frog sitting in a well" posture in the blood pool, intending to guard his Dantian and that little aura.
"Let him be strong, let him be strong, the breeze blows on the hills, let him be unruly, let him be unruly, the bright moon shines on the river, he is cruel and he is evil, I am full of energy."
Bai Luo, who was guarding outside the blood pool, couldn't help but admire: "What a boy! I didn't expect that he has such good qualifications in martial arts!"
When entering a pool of blood, the pain is not something that ordinary people can bear.
What Bai Luo told Lu Cheng was half an hour. However, for the people in Wu Ding Hall, the average time spent in the blood pool is a quarter of an hour. Very few people can reach half an hour. They will all become Bai Yi in the future. The elder of the clan. The only people who can reach one hour are the clan leader and the great witch.
Lu Cheng wanted to guard his Dantian, and time seemed to have stopped for him.
He didn't know how long it took before the pain slowly disappeared.
Until the end, he was fished out of the blood pool by Bai Luo!
"It's been an hour and a half! You kid hasn't come out yet! Do you want to celebrate the New Year in there?"
Bai Luo scolded, but in his heart he was extremely happy, and secretly said: "Another top master is about to be born in our clan!"
Lu Cheng was hot all over, wore deerskin shorts, and walked out of Wu Ding Hall shirtless.
Not far away, there is a small frozen lake. He stamped his feet, breaking through the thick ice, and went in to take a cold shower!
Then he returned to his cave, lay on the stone bed, touched the jade ring, recited the incantation, and returned to the modern world.
When I opened my eyes, it was still midnight, and I was in a mountainside villa in Dai City.
Lu Cheng got up from the bed and stretched his body. Every bone made a "knocking" sound. His strength seemed to have increased a lot, and his height seemed to have grown a little!
He walked to the wall, made a sign for himself, and then measured it with a ruler. He was 1.86 meters tall!
He was both happy and a little worried: "1.86 meters is enough! Don't grow any longer. If it exceeds 2 meters, it will be too conspicuous when walking outside, and it will be difficult to be an ordinary person."
He also wants to go to the south to scan for jade every two years. If he is too tall, he will be recognized at a glance and it will be difficult to bargain.
