Niwan Palace, also known as Huangting, is actually a name for spiritual practice.
Lu Jing had previously learned some basic knowledge about meridians and acupuncture points from Zhang Sanfeng in order to practice martial arts, but there was no mention of the Niwan Palace.
But after asking Xia Huai, Lu Jing also roughly knew the location of Niwan Palace.
According to the division of the spiritual world, there are nine palaces hidden in the human head, corresponding to the nine heavens, and the most central and most important palace among the nine palaces is Niwan Palace, located between the eyebrows, where Yintang and Baihui intersect.
It can be said to be the most important place for practitioners.
Most of the so-called foundation building is also carried out around the Niwan Palace. A tripod must be erected in it and the Yin and Yang Divine Fire must be ignited to make it a place of cultivation.
In fact, the most mentioned word in the sword-controlling article that Lu Jing had previously obtained was also Niwan.
He was afraid that he might have heard something wrong, so he asked Gu Zhongling to write it again on the ground.
However, finding Niwan Palace was just the beginning. Even without Xia Huai's reminder, Lu Jing knew just by looking at the location of Niwan Palace that this place could not be messed with casually.
Regardless of spiritual practice, the center of the brow is the most important part of the human body, followed by the brain. This is the most sophisticated and complex organ. Once it is injured, the consequences will be disastrous, so forcing it is definitely not possible.
So Lu Jing could only try to find the answer from the valuable experience left by his predecessors.
He asked Xuanji to help him find all the records about the problems in Niwan Palace in the library. He spent two days going through the books one by one, and finally found something from them.
In a book called "References on Cultivation", Lu Jing found three examples of Niwan Palace being damaged and unable to practice anymore.
One of them was harmed by an external object during cultivation, one injured his head during a fight, and the experience of the remaining one was quite bizarre, as he accidentally drank Tiansheng Water.
So when he went to Wu Han's place again, Lu Jing took the initiative to ask him about Tian Yi Shui.
After all, the last of these three examples seems to be feasible.
"Water comes from heaven?" Wu Han looked a little confused, "What do you ask this thing to do?"
"I found this out from a paper man in Jinghu Valley. Maybe it can help me start my spiritual practice." Lu Jing said casually.
He has now found the correct usage of Jinghu Valley. It is the most mysterious place in the academy, so if there is anything he doesn't want to or can't explain, he can throw it at the paper figures in Jinghu Valley. Anyway, a plate Even under the circumstances, no one can expose it.
Sure enough, Wu Han saw that although he was a little doubtful, he still said, "The water from heaven is indeed a good thing, but it is not something you can use now. If you want to use the water from heaven to practice, you must at least complete the foundation building for a hundred days." after.
"Why?" Lu Jing asked humbly.
Wu Han did not hide anything, "The water from heaven, as the name suggests, is the beginning of all things. Of course, this is just an exaggerated statement. In fact, water from heaven is everywhere from the big rivers to the tributaries of small streams.
"Simply put, you can understand it as the first drop of water in a river. All other water drops are born from it, so it also contains infinite vitality. Practitioners can use its characteristics to improve the absorption of the secret power of heaven and earth. speed.
"But it must be after the foundation is established, because before the foundation is established, there is nothingness in Niwan Palace, and this air of nothingness is carried by people when they are born. Everyone has it, and it is closest to the origin of the secret power. The so-called foundation establishment is Use this void to fire the neutral cauldron in Niwan Palace.
"If you drink the Heavenly Life Water before building the foundation, then due to the special effect of the Heavenly Life Water, the nothingness in the Niwan Palace will directly evolve into the clear and turbid Qi, and the subsequent firing of the tripod will naturally disappear. The law can no longer proceed."
Lu Jing couldn't help but feel overjoyed when he heard this. Isn't this what he had been looking for all this time? However, he still tried hard to suppress his excitement in front of Wu Han, and then asked.
"Then the void in Niwan Palace turns into clear and turbid qi. Is there any harm to the body?"
"That's not true. It's nothingness. Except for practitioners, ordinary people can't use it or know how to use it. After turning into two kinds of clear and turbid qi, the clear qi can refresh the mind, while the turbid qi will be expelled from the body. What harm will happen?"
Lu Jing was completely relieved, so he only had one last question left.
"Where can I get water from the sky?"
"As I said before, there is water all over the world from the big rivers to the tributaries of small streams, but it is not easy to find it. The academy has a special method to collect water from the sky, but it is also very time-consuming and labor-intensive."
Wu Han paused, "But if you want to live in heaven, there is a ready opportunity now."
"what chance?"
"After one and a half months, when most of you have completed the 100-day foundation building, there will be a small competition in the academy. It is mainly to encourage you students to practice hard, and also to confirm what you have learned during this period, so this small competition is A lucky one.
"According to the practice of previous years, there should be water and heaven among them."
"Xiao Bi?" Lu Jing was stunned, "What are you comparing to, spells?"
"Spells, formations, talismans, elixirs..." Wu Han said, "Because everyone focuses on learning different things, to be fair, Xiaobi usually has no special requirements for means, as long as he can win."
"Does that mean it's okay to just use martial arts?"
"Well, it's possible, but most of the test questions are related to the secret power. If you haven't practiced the secret power, you may be at a disadvantage when solving the questions."
Lu Jing roughly calculated that a month and a half should be enough for him to upgrade the Fire Lin Armor to the fourth level. By then, it would be difficult for ordinary weapons to hurt him.
As for the fourth path of Fengyunbian, he is now almost finished practicing it. In addition, he should also be able to get the Zen staff that Chi rebuilt for him. Lu Jing feels that Xiao Bi can still join in the fun this time.
After all, Tian Yi Shui is quite important to him now. Seeing the opportunity that he can get, Lu Jing doesn't want to give up.
So during the following period, he stopped wandering around. Apart from going to Jinghu Valley to deliver food and attending lectures, Lu Jing was basically practicing in seclusion, actively preparing for the small competition in more than a month. .
He didn't even have time to try the batch of poisons he got back from the woman in green shirt. During this period, there was other good news. The baby bird Gu Jing picked up from Biyou Cave had learned it from his mother. After hunting, flying and other survival skills, it finally returned to him.
And this also meant that Lu Jing finally had his own messenger.
After getting Gujing, Lu Jing sent it to deliver a letter to Gu Caiwei. As a result, with such a small distance, it actually took this guy a whole afternoon.
However, considering that this was the first time it had sent a letter, and even the first time it had left the academy, it was not unacceptable. But what Lu Jing couldn't accept was that when it came back, it actually brought back a nightingale from outside.
And that nightingale is also a messenger, and it seems to be one of the large group of messengers raised by Si Tianjian.
