A mahogany sword, and it is Lao Muxin's top-quality ancient mahogany sword.
Zhang Yan also owned a sword like this before, which was passed down from his master. It was said that it was made by a certain generation of masters from peach wood that had been harvested for thousands of years. It has the magical effect of exorcising evil spirits and suppressing demons, and it is also a good medium for performing Taoist magic.
In the past, Zhang Yan naturally sneered at claims such as "exorcism and suppression of demons" and "magical uses of Taoism". Even though he later relied on these claims to quit his career, in the final analysis he did not take those claims from the legendary era seriously.
It's different now.
According to the scriptures, monks can choose the most basic and simple magic weapon as a handheld weapon when they start practicing. The peach wood sword is a natural thing with certain magic weapon properties.
Of course, the peach wood sword in Zhang Yan's hand is not a peach wood sword in the general sense, although it is almost identical to the one passed down by his master in Zhang Yan's memory.
"receive!"
The thought in his mind moved again, and the peach wood sword in his hand disappeared in the blink of an eye, replaced by a colorful bead hidden in Zhang Yan's sleeve.
This is the ability of Wanxiang Pearl to "transform all things".
Then Zhang Yan seemed to be having fun, and the Wanxiang Pearl in his hand kept changing its appearance. He transformed eighteen kinds of weapons, including swords, guns, swords and halberds, and even steel armor and shields, he tried them all. It's just a pity that a weapon that shoots projectiles like a pistol cannot be transformed, or it can't be used after being transformed, because the Wanxiang Pearl cannot separate itself and use it as a bullet.
"Currently I can only change some mortal objects. The Peach Wood Sword is still the most suitable for my current situation."
I changed everything I could think of, and finally returned to Taomu Sword. This thing can at least have some Taoist characteristics, and it will have a beneficial effect when combined with the spell Zhang Yan made from the Wanxiang Pearl this time. In addition, having an extra wooden sword in his hand would not arouse any suspicion. At most, it would only add to his reputation as a madman. It was of no consequence.
After clearing up his mood, Zhang Yan was extremely happy.
Another change after Wanxiang Pearl wakes up is that it will no longer retain the spiritual energy that Zhang Yan has incorporated into his body as before. Instead, it will only absorb 10% of the spiritual energy that has been incorporated into Zhang Yan's body for nourishment, and the remaining 90% can be retained. Use it as Zhang Yan’s income from practice.
In other words, Zhang Yan can finally practice normally from now on.
Breathe...breathe...breathe...breathe...
It is still the breathing technique of "Liu Tian". Zhang Yan has completely adapted to it for more than half a year. He does not need to deliberately adjust his breathing rhythm. Even when he is asleep, this breathing technique will still be continued subconsciously and maintained around the clock. With the inclusion of spiritual energy. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to wake up Wanxiang Pearl so quickly.
But when Zhang Yan cooperated with the "Returning Qi Method", the breathing technique "Snatching the Sky" seemed to become a completely different method from before.
"Breathe...breathe..." Although the rhythm of breathing has not changed, the effect of each exhalation has changed tremendously. Both the turbid air breathed out and the spiritual energy taken into the body were rising in somersaults.
Doubling...twice...finally stopping at five times the previous breathing effect before stabilizing. If there are any changes in the future, it will be time for the "Returning Qi Method" to improve.
At this time, in the dead of night, Zhang Yan was not sleepy in the tent, sitting cross-legged on the bunk, eyes closed, and calmly practicing the Eight Sutras for the first time in his life. Feeling the wisps of spiritual energy in his breath being tempered by the Breathing and Inhalation Technique and the "Returning Qi Method", and then following the trajectory of the "Returning Qi Method" for a week, it finally gathered in his lower Dantian and was preserved.
Wisp after wisp, Zhang Yan could feel that his lower Dantian slowly began to feel warm and full before he knew it, and the spiritual energy seemed to slowly form on its own and swayed regularly.
I have never eaten pork, but I have seen pictures of pigs in books. Zhang Yan has never experienced spiritual energy entering his body before, and neither his master nor his master's master has had such an experience. But fortunately, he has read a lot of classics and miscellaneous notes in Longhu Mountain, and he knows everything he should know. Now that he is in his shoes Shi was not too panicked.
"When spiritual energy forms a mass, it is the opportunity to spin when it trembles!" Such a sentence was written in front of the Longhushan people's practice books. It can be seen in almost every practice book, and it still lingers in Zhang Yan's memory. new.
Now the spiritual energy has gradually formed into a mass in the lower Dantian, and it is indeed vibrating independently and regularly, just like the precursor of a cyclone described in the classics.
"But...isn't this too fast?!"
Zhang Yan was extremely surprised. He never thought that he would be able to condense the cyclone in one go the first time he seriously incorporated the spiritual energy. According to records in classics, under normal circumstances it takes half a year or even a year to slowly accumulate spiritual energy to form a cyclone, and even a few geniuses need at least four or five months to do it.
And Zhang Yan, is it enough to form a cyclone in just one night?
"Is it because I sensed something wrong?" Zhang Yan was also a little unsure.
But as the aura in his lower Dantian became tighter and tighter, and the trembling became more and more obvious, Zhang Yan understood that he could not wait any longer, and this should really be the sign of the formation of a cyclone as mentioned in the classics. As for why he was able to achieve such an effect in just one night, there are only two reasons to explain it: First, the spiritual energy in the Desolate Sky Realm is so abundant that just one night of breathing can be worth it. The amount of the earth's spiritual energy in the first half of the year before it was exhausted. Secondly, Zhang Yan's current body's cultivation talent is ridiculously high, and he belongs to the kind of monster-level figure who appears once every ten thousand years.
But whether it was the first reason, the second reason, or both, Zhang Yan couldn't tell for the time being. He devoted himself to operating the "Returning Qi Method" that he practiced for the first time, and used the spiritual energy movement technique to carefully stir up the spiritual energy in his lower Dantian.
After an unknown amount of time, the tense emotions in Zhang Yan's heart finally relaxed after the spiritual energy in his lower dantian began to slowly rotate in one direction.
"Success!"
According to Zhang Yan's induction, the air masses in his lower dantian began to rotate neatly and uniformly under his careful guidance, forming a complete cyclone. And the spiritual energy that is subsequently incorporated into the body will consciously submerge into this cyclone and will not flow as scatteredly as before.
After this cyclone began to rotate, it also caused the spiritual energy in Zhang Yan's meridians to circulate much faster. This means that Zhang Yan's efficiency in breathing spiritual energy will become faster than before. It is equivalent to the art of breathing, Zhoutian movement and Dantian now forming a complete and effective closed loop under the interspersion of cyclone.
As the saying goes: Qi enters the Dantian and forms a swirl, generating new force to assist the heavens. From then on, the cycle continues again and again, which is called the state of entraining Qi.
