"Amitabha, Xia Lingguan is truly an extraordinary person."
Zen Master Fukong nodded. He naturally felt some changes in Xia Zhichan, but he did not say anything about it, but praised it.
Jiang Qin on the side showed joy. She discovered that Xia Zhichan had now entered the state of enlightenment, but it had only been a few days since he had entered the enlightenment stage.
The spiritual energy between heaven and earth boiled again, and small snakes composed of spiritual energy wrapped around Xia Zhichan's limbs.
call……
Xia Zhichan slowly exhaled, and then the surrounding spiritual energy was quickly absorbed into his body, circulated along the meridians for a week, and finally entered the Dantian Qi sea.
The autumn wind is strong, making the branches and leaves rustle.
The wind didn't know where it came from, but it seemed to be inspired, spinning and rushing in the direction of Xia Zhichan.
The clouds in the sky were also floating, gathering in the direction of Prince Le's Mansion, and gradually piled up into a large thick dark cloud above the Prince's Mansion.
The birds in the sky lost their way and landed inexplicably on the blue bricks and black tiles of the palace.
"Amitabha……"
Zen Master Fu Kong chanted the Buddha's name in a low voice.
Jiang Qin also held the hilt of the sword nervously.
More and more spiritual energy condensed around him, almost reaching a state visible to the naked eye. However, no matter how much spiritual energy was condensed, it disappeared when it entered Xia Zhichan's body.
His current body is like a whale swimming in the ocean, and those auras are piles of huge fish. When he swallows them, they disappear completely.
The sun went down in the sky and the moon rose up.
As night fell, the heavy clouds covered the brilliance of the stars and the moon, leaving no brilliance at all.
But Xia Zhichan, who had been standing at the door absorbing the spiritual energy, frowned.
The surrounding spiritual energy also stopped inhaling at the same time.
Um? It shouldn't be so fast. This time, Jiang Qin felt something unexpected happened without even having to ask Zen Master Fu Kong. When she first started, it took her a full day and night to get out of the state of enlightenment.
Now Xia Zhichan has not had more than six hours since he entered enlightenment.
What went wrong?
Jiang Qin hurriedly looked at Zen Master Fu Kong, but how could the latter know what was happening in Xia Zhichan's body? He could only express his ignorance and shook his head.
call……
Xia Zhichan exhaled a breath of white air and opened her eyes.
He took the initiative to cut off his body's absorption of spiritual energy, and then exited the state of enlightenment. He frowned at first, and then shook his head in confusion.
"Xia Zhichan, how are you?"
Jiang Qin asked anxiously.
"It's fine……"
Xia Zhichan shook her limbs, which were a little stiff from standing for a long time, and then walked out of the house and into the courtyard.
The clouds that had gathered because of him gradually dissipated, and bits of white moonlight shone down.
Many birds that landed on the green bricks and black tiles seemed to wake up suddenly. They turned their heads and looked around a few times. They found that they were surrounded by unfamiliar surroundings, so they quickly flapped their wings and flew away.
Swish - a huge flock of birds appeared on the palace.
"Xia Zhichan..."
Jiang Qin chased him out. She walked to the man's side and looked at the silent man standing in the courtyard with a worried look on her face.
"It's okay, I just..."
Xia Zhichan raised her eyebrows and said calmly:
"Failed again."
"But why did you take the initiative to cut off your own spiritual energy absorption? As long as a certain amount of spiritual energy is absorbed and converted into your own true energy..."
Jiang Qin didn't understand. Xia Zhichan's epiphany this time should feel better than the previous one, but why did it fail?
"Because there is no point in absorbing spiritual energy. Even if you persist, you will only absorb all the surrounding spiritual energy in the end, and then forcefully withdraw from the enlightenment state."
Xia Zhichan smiled and shook his head. As soon as he raised his hand, spiritual energy enveloped his fingertips, swirling around and absorbing it into his body.
That small stream of spiritual energy was driven by Xia Zhichan's thoughts and entered the meridians. After flowing for a long time, it turned into true energy and entered the sea of qi.
then……
Suck slip. If the immortal sword energy in Xia Zhichan's dantian could make a sound, it would be this sound.
The infuriating energy that had just been condensed was directly swallowed by it, leaving no trace for Xia Zhichan.
It was exactly the same as before, the true energy that he had absorbed and practiced for several hours was absorbed by the Immortal Sword Energy, leaving absolutely nothing behind for him.
The Immortal Sword Qi could also absorb the True Qi before, but Xia Zhichan always drank a large amount of Immortal Brew directly from the wine gourd. Even if it absorbed it, it could only absorb a little bit, at least it was enough for him to use for a short time. If it didn't work, he would stop. Take a sip.
It's the same as Jiang Qin borrowing zhenqi, but in that case half of the immortal sword energy will be eaten away. Xia Zhichan can barely keep half of it for temporary use, but in the end it will be eaten away bit by bit by the immortal sword energy.
Now it has become like this. You have finally refined a burst of true energy, but as soon as it enters the Dantian, it is directly absorbed by the immortal sword energy. It means that you have spent a long time and got nothing at all.
Xia Zhichan discovered it when he absorbed it for the first time, but he thought at that time that the immortal sword energy should have a limit. At worst, he could just feed it first and then accumulate the true energy.
But after practicing for five or six hours at a stretch, there was not even a bit of the true energy left. All of it was given to the Immortal Sword Energy, and it seemed that it was not full at all.
"What do you mean?"
How could Jiang Qin understand what Xia Zhichan said? She didn't know what happened in the other party's dantian.
"You'll know after you try it."
Xia Zhichan knew that her current state was very strange, just like a cup with a hole in the bottom. If you fill it with water in one go, it can still be stored for a while. But if you add it in drop by drop, it will leak out as much as you add.
So he directly grabbed Jiang Qin's hand, pulled out a ray of true energy from her body, imitated the previous spiritual energy, and then entered Xia Zhichan's body.
"Huh? Gone..."
Jiang Qin was originally a little shy about Xia Zhichan grabbing her hand directly, but she felt that the other party was controlling her Qi, so she concentrated on feeling the movements of her Qi.
Xia Zhichan did not cut off the connection between the two, but boldly let go of all his defenses. He could control the true energy in Jiang Qin's body, and Jiang Qin could naturally see what was happening in his body.
Buzz——
As soon as Jiang Qin's intention entered Xia Zhichan's sea of qi, she heard a familiar sword cry, and at the same time she felt that the true qi in her body was boiling.
Xia Zhichan then let go of her hand and severed the connection between the two.
"That's a sword energy...it seems to be the sword energy of Patriarch Wuya."
Jiang Qin's eyes widened, and she looked at Xia Zhichan in disbelief. She, the authentic successor of Wuyazi, could actually feel the Wuyazi sword energy in someone else's body, which was purer than her own.
"Because of it, all the energy I cultivated was eaten by it."
Xia Zhichan didn't have any reservations, he still trusted Jiang Qin.
He didn't even ask how Jiang Qin knew that the sword energy was Wuyazi's. Although the immortal sword energy was different from ordinary sword energy, how could someone who had never seen Wuyazi recognize that it was Wuyazi's sword? gas.
"Then...what should we do?"
Xia Zhichan shook his head, but then he frowned and remembered his conversation with Dragon Corpse. The reason why Dragon Corpse gave him such a thing was to allow him to deal with a huge trouble.
Is this the trouble right now?
"Master, if you use all your strength, can you seriously injure that catfish spirit?"
"Amitabha, the old monk estimates that even if he uses all his strength, he can only suppress him for a short time. After all, the Vajra Dharmakaya consumes too much energy..."
Zen Master Fukong had been standing at the door. He heard the conversation between Xia Zhichan and the two, and saw their movements, and he guessed everything in his heart.
Therefore, he deliberately did not follow him, and instead stood at the door of the house some distance away from the two of them.
"What about the ten-foot golden body? Can't you kill that catfish spirit?"
"The ten-foot-long golden body, if the old monk uses it with all his strength, can only last for one stick of incense. I can suppress the monster with one stick of incense, but if I want to kill it..."
Zen Master Fukong sighed. He usually does not use the ten-foot-long golden body, and he has never encountered a monster that has reached the peak of his power.
"He just has the physical body to reach the peak of the Tang Dynasty. Master, are you not sure about it?"
"Xia Lingguan, what do you mean by this?"
Zen Master Fu Kong found that Xia Zhichan seemed to know the monster far better than he did, so he couldn't help but ask.
"He is not just a monster who has reached the top of the world, but he is possessed by the body of that catfish spirit."
"Possessed?"
Zen Master Fukong accurately grasped the most important point in Xia Zhichan's words.
"Yes, possessed. Judging from the information I got, he should actually be a ghost king with only three hundred years of cultivation, which is the peak of entry level cultivation."
Xia Zhichan raised one hand and blocked the falling moonlight with the back of her hand. The other hand was placed on the palm of her hand, hiding in the shadow.
"He is possessed by the catfish spirit, so he can use his peak demon body to fight you."
"Amitabha, that's it."
Zen Master Fu Kong nodded. He recalled that when the other party fought with him, he relied solely on physical force and did not use any magic.
He felt a lot more at ease, and the monster was easier to deal with than he thought.
At least he wasn't really facing a giant monster at the top of his game.
"If it is true as Xia Lingguan said, then the monster will be much easier to deal with. The old monk can subdue it with his ten-foot-long golden body, but after all, it is the body of a monster at the peak of his power, and ordinary attacks will not work on him."
Zen Master Fu Kong glanced at Xia Zhichan. It wasn't because he didn't trust Xia Zhichan, but after all, this matter was not trivial. How did the other party know about it?
"Xia Lingguan, the old monk wants to ask..."
"The Master wants to know how I know all this, right?"
Like Zen Master Fu Kong, Xia Zhichan is a person who has traveled through rivers and lakes, so he is very thoughtful and often does not easily believe other people's information.
Zen Master Fu Kong nodded. He was not embarrassed. Xia Zhichan's straightforwardness and magnanimity made him feel happy.
"This is all deduced from the information Akamei told me."
Xia Zhichan said, taking out a purse from her arms, and then pulled out an origami frog from the purse.
"Akamei..."
The paper frog spoke somewhat depressedly.
"I am here."
