Hearing Dugu Cheng's choice, Lin Yan was a little surprised and said with a smile, "Why?"
Dugu Cheng smiled helplessly: "I am already at this age. If I focus on practicing immortal magic, I am afraid that I will not achieve much in both martial arts and immortal magic. It is better to practice one alone, practice it to the extreme, and spend decades Recently, when the sword test meeting was held, I was already over twenty-five years old and missed it, which means that the immortal way is not destined for me. Besides, I still prefer to practice martial arts. "
Lin Yan smiled and said: "I also think it would be better if you choose to practice martial arts alone." Dugu City is not him. He has been trapped in Dajin all his life, making a living by martial arts and accompanying himself with swords. He is a natural martial arts wizard, but he has too much knowledge in martial arts. If it is less, it will take time to accumulate. If you practice the immortal way, you will inevitably be distracted and your cultivation will stagnate.
This is also the reason why Lin Yan figured out the second method of "The Method of Entraining Qi with Spiritual Roots".
In the future, Lin Tiannan will also choose the second option, so that he can help Lin Tiannan break through to the innate realm as soon as possible.
"However, you said you are a little older, so don't worry. At the innate realm, you have a lifespan of at least 150 years. In comparison, sixty years old is actually in the prime of life, not young, but You are not too old, and if you are lucky enough to break through the realm of martial arts, you will have a lifespan of hundreds of years." Lin Yan smiled and said, "However, since you have chosen the second option, I will strongly support you."
Dugu Cheng nodded, and with the yearning in his heart for the martial arts that Lin Yan mentioned, he sat cross-legged on the bed, calmly, and began to regulate the breath in his body.
The second method of guiding qi by spiritual roots is basically similar to the first method of inducing qi by spiritual roots, but it does not need to guide the power of spiritual roots to the Dantian, so it is much faster and not so difficult.
Lin Yan took out the golden needle and said, "You don't need to control the power of the spiritual root. I will use the golden needle to stimulate the acupoints."
Dugu Cheng nodded, closed his eyes and concentrated, adjusting his body to its optimal condition.
Lin Yan took action quickly, and the golden needle accurately landed on several acupuncture points of the Qi-entraining method. Several strands of true energy were released. The binding golden needle was not broken, and the golden needle was stimulated to tremble continuously, stimulating Dugu Cheng's body to produce a mysterious force. The power began to slowly draw out the power of the spiritual roots in Du's second meridians.
The power of the spiritual root was immediately activated, and it divided into strands. As the golden needle trembled, it was slowly attracted and wrapped around the golden needle. It followed the golden needle and slowly wrapped around the zhenqi silk thread, sinking into Lin Yan's body. within the body.
Lin Yan suddenly felt a stream of pure spiritual energy flowing along his meridians. For the first time, it did not conflict with the true energy. It penetrated into the Dantian and gathered into the magic power that Lin Yan had cultivated.
Lin Yan was slightly surprised by these changes. He immediately remembered that when he first discovered the power of spiritual roots in the secular world, he found a few warriors with low martial arts skills to test it. The true energy was in them. Wandering around in the body, it seems that the spiritual root power of many of those people has been brought out and integrated into the Ren and Du Second Meridians.
At that time, the power of the spiritual roots in those people's bodies did not conflict with Lin Yan's true energy.
"It seems that the power of spiritual roots is not as simple as spiritual energy." Lin Yan speculated in his mind that this kind of power is a root power, which is different from ordinary spiritual energy. Otherwise, immortal cultivators would not be so rare compared to mortals. . If the spiritual root is just ordinary spiritual energy, then the immortal cultivator only needs to put the spiritual energy into a mortal body, and that person can use the spiritual root instantly. But obviously this will not work. The spiritual energy injected in this way will slowly dissipate, and at most it will only It just makes that person energetic and strong in a short period of time.
In addition to spiritual energy, there should be some other mysterious substances that can allow people to have "root" power, so that the body of the immortal cultivator can draw the spiritual energy of heaven and earth into the body.
Speaking of this, Lin Yan is still full of curiosity about acquired spiritual roots. Why warriors gradually form "acquired spiritual roots" when they practice martial arts. This is something Lin Yan has not yet understood.
There is no spiritual energy of heaven and earth on Xuanwu Continent, so everyone can practice martial arts, and their cultivation will not be hindered by the generation of acquired spiritual roots. However, this world is very different, which also caused him a lot of doubts.
He vaguely felt that there might have been an extremely glorious martial arts civilization in this world, but it disappeared in the long river of history for various reasons, leaving only some superficial martial arts that existed in the form of ordinary martial arts.
The power of the spiritual roots in Dugu City's body was continuously being sucked out and integrated into Lin Yan's Dantian. This situation continued. After three or four hours, the power of the spiritual roots in Dugu City's body was reduced by about one percent. , the mana in Lin Yan's body seemed to be a little stronger, and there seemed to be something extra.
Lin Yan had reached his limit when he withdrew his true energy and golden needles. If he continued to use golden needles to induce Qi and over-stimulate the acupoints, Dugu Cheng's physical body would be unable to bear it.
Dugu Cheng woke up slowly. The injuries in his body had improved a lot due to the pill he had just taken. After adjusting his breathing slightly, he could hardly feel it anymore.
He took some food and filled his stomach with Lin Yan. Lin Yan said: "You can go to the mine with me today and stay with me in the future." Now that he has entered the immortal world, he is qualified to lead miscellaneous things. The servant disciples are around, not to mention that the Lingshi Mine can also allow the handyman disciples to enter.
"Yes." Dugu Cheng nodded, slightly excited in his heart. Lin Yan's move showed that for a long time in the future, he would personally teach him the way of martial arts, practice Qingyuan Gong, and successfully transform into spirits, which has opened the door for him. A door has opened, and Dugu City is now full of expectations for it.
Dugu Cheng packed some changes of clothes and put them in Lin Yan's storage bag, and the two of them left the handyman area together.
Entering the Tianji Forest, Lin Yan tried to get Dugu City to practice the Dragon Step. Dugu City also began to imitate the steps that Lin Yan had taken before. At first, the steps were very chaotic. It took more than ten attempts before he started to have a decent style. It just has the same shape, the speed has been increased, but it doesn't have the charm displayed by Lin Yan.
Even if they were traveling and practicing at the same time, the two of them were moving very quickly through the forest.
At this moment, a ray of light flew from the distance. Lin Yan and Dugu Cheng simultaneously discovered that the ray of light was heading in their direction. Dugu Cheng's expression changed slightly and said: "No, Daoyuan must have come back. He must have heard that Qin Hong was dead and came to look for trouble."
"Who is this Taoyuan?" Lin Yan frowned, Qin Hong was the monk he killed.
"Daoyuan is an outer disciple of Tianshu Peak. He is an existence at the tenth level of Qi Refining. It is said that he ranks among the top ten among the outer disciples of Tianshu Peak. This person and Qin Hongnai have been friends for many years. This Daoyuan has With his backing and good cultivation, he can run rampant in the miscellaneous area." Dugu Cheng's tone was a little solemn. He had seen Daoyuan's methods, which were not comparable to ordinary disciples. At least they were better than what he had seen in Changshan. Chu Ping's tenth level of Qi Refining is still stronger. In fact, the difficulty of dealing with monks who have reached the eighth or ninth level of Qi Refining will be greatly increased. It's not just that the spells are getting stronger, but these monks are fighting against people. Their experience in fighting at that time made them very flexible.
For example, Qin Hong may not be as advanced as Chu Kuang in Mine No. 4, but in a fight, Chu Kuang may lose more than he wins. The reason is that Qin Hong has very good fighting experience. Rich, he must be more flexible when encountering changes. If Lin Yan hadn't been so abnormal that he couldn't be understood by common sense, those three explosive talismans might have killed him.
The invisibility technique is applied to the explosive talisman and tied to the flying sword. This method is extremely destructive, but it has to be said that it has a miraculous effect on some careless people.
This source of energy was at the tenth level of Qi refining. It was only stronger than Chu Ping. Dugu City didn't know if Lin Yan would be his opponent.
While speaking, a spiritual consciousness had already swept across the two of them, and the light dissipated in front of them, revealing a young face. This man is young, about twenty years old, with a handsome face. He is wearing a Taoist robe, as if he has entered a Taoist sect. He looks very young, but his cultivation has reached the tenth level of Qi refining. He has reached this level at this age. At this level, he is already considered a genius in cultivating immortals.
"Did you kill Qin Hong?" His voice was like a loud bell, like a thunderclap ringing in their ears. It was obvious that they used amplification spells. Fortunately, Lin Yan and the two had strong martial arts cultivation, Lin Yan was unharmed, and Dugu Chengya just swayed, his eyes slightly lost focus, and then he recovered.
"It's me." Lin Yan said calmly, "You want to avenge him?"
"Kill to pay for life." Daoyuan said calmly, his words were full of undoubt. With one hand, several wind blades appeared out of thin air. The moment Daoyuan made the seal, they rushed towards Lin Yan and the two of them.
Lin Yan's expression changed slightly, and he quickly pulled Dugu Cheng to perform a movement. He was able to avoid it, but the robe on his body was torn into a small hole, and the light was flickering.
"Such a fast casting speed." Lin Yan retreated to a big tree and looked at this person with a gloomy look.
The spiritual root of this source is extremely special. It is a mutated spiritual root of wind attribute. Otherwise, I would not have been able to directly cast wind attribute spells such as Wind Blade just now. This kind of wind blade composed purely of wind attribute mana is extremely offensive, intangible, and difficult to defend against.
As soon as they started fighting, Lin Yan knew that this person was definitely one of the strongest among the Qi Refining monks he had encountered.
"The speed is good." Daoyuan said calmly, "But whoever dares to kill me, no matter how fast he is, can't escape from my grasp." With a move of his hand, he shot out a few spiritual talismans, and the surrounding woods suddenly burst into flames. There was a rain of leaves, and at the same time, several vines attacked them, as if they came to life, like the tentacles of a living thing.
Dugu Cheng drew out his long sword and slashed it on a vine, but there was a sound of gold and iron clashing, as if it had hit the divine iron. Dugu Cheng's long sword almost came out of his hand, and the tiger's mouth almost came out. I was shaken to pieces and felt numb for a while.
"You protect yourself, leave him to me." Lin Yan activated his true energy, and the fire-attribute true energy wrapped around the vines, and suddenly turned into tongues of fire, spreading along the vines, and at the same time, from the storage bag Taking out the Lingxiao Sword, a sword energy broke through the sea of fire formed by the vines and pierced the source.
Daoyuan turned his body, and the flying sword under his feet moved to avoid the sword energy. At the same time, several vines wrapped around Lin Yan like chains, attacking his feet, trying to restrict his movement. Lin Yan snorted coldly, and there seemed to be an explosion of air under his feet, which suddenly stopped in mid-air. Then he moved around and adjusted his steps. This also surprised Daoyuan slightly, but he did not freeze. A huge wind pressed against Lin Yan. The flames formed around him, complementing the sea of fire. The wind assisted the fire, forming an overwhelming cloud of smoke and dust that enveloped Lin Yan.
Lin Yan closed his eyes, and shot out a burst of true energy, turning into a shield to temporarily resist the smoke and dust. At the same time, he retreated, but because his vision was disturbed, he was hit by a vine, and a small hole was broken in his robe, which hit Lin Yan. Lin Yan's body-protecting Qi was blocked on Yan's body, leaving only a red mark.
