The irony is that no matter how good the news is from the outside and how high the praise is, there is no news about any "print reward" within Xuan Qingwei.
Anyone who knows the inside story of the case will admit that Black Flag Camp has handled another major case, but so what? After all, it's just some backlogged cases. Even if there is some vague connection with the evil monks, no one has been caught after all. Want to get a reward? There is everything in the dream.
For this reason, Tang Qingyuan and Chen Yiyun still complained about Shen Hao. If they didn't catch the evil monk, the "profit" for them would be greatly reduced, which was not worth the pressure they had resisted before. They didn't know that Shen Hao had not written the most critical part of the case into the file.
It can be said that people within the Black Flag Camp basically have no complaints. How is it possible that every case with so many cases throughout the year can get a reward? It would be very satisfying to have a good resume.
However, what was unexpected was that Jiang Cheng bypassed Tang Qingyuan and Chen Yiyun and directly reported this "serial disappearance case" as the most glorious achievement of the Xuanqing Guards in Fengli City that season, and also decided on this series of cases. Shen Hao would find it incomprehensible when he heard the tone: Xuan Qingwei has always been responsible for checking for omissions and making up for the safety of people's lives!
When Shen Hao asked Tang Qingyuan for a few days' leave on the grounds that he had gained insights into his cultivation, the internal official report with the title "Xuanqing Guard has always been responsible for checking for omissions and supplements for the safety of people's lives!" was circulated throughout Jingxi. The news spread among the institutional departments.
For the first time, the power hidden in the darkness of Xuan Qingwei was connected by the public to the life around them.
Even new things like copper cabinets began to spread slowly outside Jingxi. Of course, the people leading this matter were the Black Flag Camp of the Xuanqing Guards in various places.
...
But Shen Hao didn't know this, because when the official report was sent, he had already received Xiu Mu's note from Tang Qingyuan and went home to practice quietly.
Before retreating, Shen Hao specially asked the cook to bake a dozen flatbreads for him, as well as water and dried meat, and expanded the scope of the defensive formation to include the bathroom. He had a feeling that his retreat would last for a long time.
After having a full meal first, taking the things he had prepared, and giving a few instructions to the housekeeper Hu Tian, Shen Hao closed the formation.
In order to maximize the income from this retreat, Shen Hao also brought back a small Pei Yuan Dan that he had newly applied for. This was his quota for this quarter and a special supply from the general banner.
Even before the official start, Shen Hao had a relaxing sleep, took a bath, and completely relaxed his body and mind to adjust to the best condition.
Shen Hao cannot be too cautious. What he needs to do next is to hit the first hurdle: Gathering God and Destroying Qi!
There is only one chance. If the breakthrough fails due to objective reasons, Shen Hao estimates that he will immediately lose his mentality.
It’s a lie that I’m not nervous at all. I just have more energy to press forward bravely when facing obstacles.
According to the only "Great Five Elements True Qi" in Shen Hao's hand, gathering the gods is acting against the will of heaven and one will suffer disaster from the heavens! To gather the spirit, one must go through the destruction of the energy. Only the destruction of the energy can change the foundation of life and form a gathering basin to hold the spirit...
To put it bluntly, if you want to enter the God-Gathering Realm, you need to use a special method to detonate the true energy stock in your body that has reached its limit. Use this extreme internal disassembly method to change the inherent life foundation of the human body itself, and obtain the ability to carry "gods". "The physical carrier.
The so-called "god" is actually one's own soul, which allows the soul to come out and participate in the practice, instead of only the physical body cultivating alone. This is the main feature of the God-gathering realm.
After repeatedly confirming that his condition was adjusted to the best, Shen Hao took a deep breath, sat down cross-legged, and began to calmly enter a state of practice.
It stands to reason that a normal breakthrough to the final hurdle of the Qi Refining Realm would require a large amount of small Pei Yuan Dan or higher-level elixirs as assistance. For this reason, monks would save elixirs for a long time before making a breakthrough. But this was not a problem for Shen Hao. The energy in the tattoo on his chest had no place to use, so he did not swallow the pill in advance.
"let's start!"
With a thought in his mind, the true energy in his body began to circulate according to the circulation of the heavens. When it passed through the acupuncture points on the chest, as Shen Hao expected, a massive amount of energy immediately spurted out and merged into the circulation of the true energy of the heavens, accompanied by the stinging pain in the meridians. The swelling and pain gradually pushed the total amount of Qi in Shen Hao's body closer to the limit.
The sun began to turn westward, and Xia Nu was standing guard outside the defensive formation, nodding her head from time to time as she dozed off. She did not know that at this moment, her master in the formation was undergoing the first major battle since entering the practice. Metamorphosis.
It's late at night, the moon hangs on the branches, and the night breeze is slightly cool. In the formation, Shen Hao's sitting cross-legged posture remained unchanged. There were stains of sweat on his forehead and his upper body clothes were soaked.
At this moment, the meridians in Shen Hao's body were not only tingling, but also in severe pain, because his meridians had expanded to the limit that he could reach now, but the acupuncture points on his chest were still pouring new energy into him crazily. Energy, in this way naturally describes pain.
But even though the pain was excruciating, Shen Hao did not stop Zhou Tian's luck. He knew that the last moment was coming: to lose his energy!
In fact, Shen Hao's current state has gone beyond the normal state of losing energy. How could anyone else continuously reconstruct the width of the meridians in such a short period of time and increase the limit capacity of the true energy in the body again and again like him? If this were the case for another person, he would either have his meridians broken and half-dead due to the crazy infusion of Qi, or he would have reached the limit of his capacity early and become depleted.
However, although the process was a bit abnormal, the result was still developing in the direction of losing energy.
Just when Shen Hao felt that his meridians were expanding to their current limit and cracking appeared again, suddenly, he felt that time seemed to have stopped...
His consciousness appeared in an extremely erratic state, and he probed deeply into his body, "seeing" his organs, bones, blood vessels, and even the meridians that should have no physical existence were displayed in his "eyes" .
Is this...inner view? !
In surprise, his "sight" continued to deepen, and it seemed that it was not controlled by Shen Hao. He "saw" that the blocked Qi in his meridians was exploding like firecrackers, spreading bit by bit to His whole body, at the same time, the shock caused by this explosion also destroyed a layer of "shackles" that originally covered his body.
It seemed that less than a second had passed, and it seemed that several hours had passed. When Shen Hao felt the normal passage of time again, a sense of expansion suddenly appeared in his mind, and then flew away again.
Akira Shenhao understood that he had succeeded in breaking through. Because he has never felt so clearly about his soul as he does now, and even the movement of true energy in the body has an additional place that must pass through: the "sea of consciousness" in the head.
The soul has already participated in Shen Hao's practice.
"This feels...so good!"
At this point, Shen Hao's cultivation skyrocketed again, breaking through the Qi Refining Realm in one leap and reaching the first level of the God Gathering Realm!
