After confirming that the acupuncture pill he refined was indeed effective, Lu Li was even happier.
After rushing back to the Taoist temple, he started refining without stopping.
In a blink of an eye, the sky darkened.
Lu Li successfully refined two more acupuncture pills. At his current speed, he could refine one in about half an hour.
And as he became more and more familiar with the required heat for the Acupuncture Pill materials, his refining speed became much faster than before. He even felt that some materials could be heated slightly to increase the refining speed.
Although it was already dark outside, Lu Li had no intention of stopping. The lights in the main hall were flickering, and the weak light seemed a little lonely in the darkness.
call--
Huh, there was a strong wind blowing outside, and the sound of the wind was desolate, like the roar of a ghost.
Lu Li frowned slightly, and with a wave of his backhand, he fired out two blasts of wind-attribute Qi, and closed the palace door with two snaps.
A night of silence.
In a blink of an eye it was dawn again.
The early morning sunlight shone in through the crack in the door. Lu Li also turned off the ground fire and practiced elixirs continuously all night. Even though he only used his spiritual consciousness intermittently, he still felt a little overwhelmed.
Fortunately, after one night, he had already refined ten acupuncture pills.
He came to the kitchen, cleaned up the gray rabbit that he had brought in, and simply fried it and ate it. Then he went into the east bedroom and sat down cross-legged.
"After so many years of hard work, I can finally enjoy the fruits of victory."
Lu Li held the medicine bottle, his eyes filled with light.
Immediately, he uncorked the bottle, poured out an emerald green pill with red dots, and swallowed it in one gulp.
Because he swallowed it too quickly, Lu Li had already entered his stomach before he could taste anything. The overbearing power of the medicine spread instantly and rushed into his Dantian.
It was like a long dragon formed by countless sharp arrows scurrying around in his dantian, causing the zhenqi in his dantian to riot. The potency of the medicine was actually several times stronger than the one Zhang Song gave him before.
Lu Li was both happy and frightened.
What was gratifying was that the power of this medicine could not only break through one acupuncture point. What was frightening was that the power of this medicine was too strong. If it was not controlled well, it would probably pierce his Qi veins.
Without having time to think about it, he quickly controlled his true energy to wrap up the long dragon of sharp arrows, and pulled it towards the fifth energy channel.
So far, his fifth energy channel has only opened five acupoints.
Under Lu Li's control, the 'Long Dragon of Sharp Arrows' roared towards the sixth aperture.
puff--!
one time.
The acupuncture point with nine layers of walls turned out to be as if it were made of paper, and it was pierced in an instant. Even the skin and flesh on the Qi vessels were torn to pieces and stained with blood.
"Ah, ah! Your uncle!"
Lu Li was caught off guard and screamed in pain. He didn't expect the puncture point to be so violent. Not only did it break through the barrier, but it also tore off a piece of skin connecting the Qi veins at the barrier. The sharp arrows also broke through the barrier. And half of it disappeared.
Lu Li didn't wait for a reaction.
puff--!
The remaining half of the sharp arrow dragon has broken through the seventh acupoint, and the potency of the medicine has also disappeared.
Lu Li didn't scream this time, but the veins on his forehead popped out and his teeth were almost broken.
He didn't even know how the young man in white from Qingyang Sect could hold back before. Could it be because he was beaten first and the two kinds of pain canceled each other out?
"It hurts me so much."
Lu Li lay down on the bed, breathing heavily.
It took him a long time to calm down.
Looking inside, he found that the connection between the two acupuncture walls and the Qi channels he had just broken through was already bloody and bloody, and the slightest movement of Qi would cause excruciating pain.
"There are side effects."
Lu Li's face turned bitter. This acupuncture point had broken down very quickly, just as he had been practicing hard in the Time Palace for several months, but the damage caused by this must have been too great. Lu Li held the jade bottle and was in a dilemma.
There is no doubt that the acupuncture pill he refined was quite successful, but the power of the medicine was too strong, and his Qi veins could not bear it. He felt that if he took it again now, the power of the medicine rushing in would definitely destroy the Qi veins that had been injured just now. Broken.
What's more important is that after taking it, he can't use his Qi rashly. Using Qi will cause more injuries, and the injured Qi veins will be more difficult to recover.
Why.
Sighing, Lu Li put away the remaining nine acupuncture pills.
The acupuncture pill cannot be taken for the time being. Even if it is taken, it must wait until the two damaged acupoints recover.
He lay on the bed and looked at the ceiling, feeling very unwilling.
I went through all kinds of hardships and spent five or six years searching for the materials for the acupuncture pill. How could this be the result?
He thought he could take it without restraint.
Is there any way to solve this problem?
Lu Li thought hard.
Suddenly an idea flashed, didn't the Time Palace have time to speed up? If I went to sleep inside... would I recover faster?
Lu Li's eyes lit up and he entered the Time Palace without thinking.
In the blink of an eye, Lu Li slept in the Time Palace for more than ten days.
It was only noon the next day outside.
He couldn't wait to come out and take a look, and his face suddenly turned ugly. Although the bloody injury had improved a little, it was not very obvious. He didn't know whether the flow rate of the Time Palace had any effect on the original injury.
Lu Li decided to test again to see if there was any difference in recovery speed between not entering the Time Palace and entering the Time Palace.
In this way, he stayed in the outside world for another ten days.
During this period, Lu Li continued to refine pills, but he no longer worked as hard as before. In order to avoid causing injuries, he could only refine four or five pills a day at most, and then stopped to rest.
Finally, he came to the conclusion that the flow rate of the Time Palace was effective in naturally recovering injuries. Because in these ten days, the recovery speed of his acupoint injuries was not as fast as the previous day and night when he entered the Time Palace.
So he didn't dare to waste any more time. He only spent one or two hours during the day refining elixirs, and spent the rest of the time sleeping and reading in the Time Palace.
There was no way, he didn't dare to use his true energy now, so he couldn't do anything except sleep and read.
More than a month has passed in the outside world, and nearly a year has passed in the Time Palace.
On this day, after he came out, he was pleasantly surprised to find that the injuries to the two acupoints had completely recovered, and the Qi was flowing smoothly without any discomfort.
He sat on the stone steps in front of the temple and silently calculated: "According to this calculation, it will take about a month for the outside world to recover from an injury. During this period, I cannot use my true energy... Could it be that I am required to secretly hide in the deep mountains and old forests? Take medicine?
This is not cost-effective either.
In this way, you can only take twelve acupuncture pills at most and break through twenty-four acupuncture points in a year. It is better to practice normally.
Why bother even if you have to endure the heartbreaking pain? "
However, is there any way to solve this problem?
Lu Li fell into deep thought again.
"It would be great if there was a pill that could quickly restore acupuncture injuries." Lu Li thought expectantly, dragging his chin and looking at the blue sky.
A... elixir to restore acupoint injuries?
Lu Li's eyes suddenly lit up, "Yeah, how could I forget this? Didn't that charlatan Wu De say that Nourishing Pulse Pill is specially used to treat injuries caused by violent acupoint punching?"
"No, I have to find him. I must get the recipe for Nourishing Pulse Pill!"
