Chapter 184 Another Cultivation System

After coming to his senses, he murmured, "Laozi asked the heavens at Jingshi Mountain, and ruled the world with the Tao. In fact, he was proving the Tao to the heavens, as if he was giving the heavens an answer."

"Tian Zun, you cannot ask, so ask the heaven."

The two words "Tianwen" represent more of a mentality and attitude of "the road is long and arduous, but I will search for it up and down."

Murong Ji took care of the sword, and then carefully looked at this Zhu Xian World version of the Tianwen Sword. It had not yet been nourished by spiritual energy and had not yet conceived spirituality, but now it was lifeless.

"Zheng!"

The Tianwen Sword was instantly hurled out, then suddenly stopped in the air. The buzzing sound it produced spread throughout the crater.

"Using true qi to control the sword is several times faster than before!"

Lu Zu's sword-wielding method was extremely fierce and destructive, and when he swung his sword it was so fast that people could hardly react.

"I need to practice more. At least I need to get used to such a fast sword speed."

After recovering his true energy, he used the remaining spiritual wood and iron plates to refine a scabbard.

The scabbard didn't look very good, so Murong Ji carved the pattern of a diamond bracelet on the scabbard and inlaid it with gold and silver threads, which made it look much more beautiful.

Pick up the backpack and walk out of the volcano.

After returning to the village, he said hello to Tumagu and planned to set off back to Qingyunmen.

The Ten Thousand Mountains is a good place. It has countless spiritual materials and medicines. He doesn't know how many herbs and materials in the Central Plains came from here.

But it’s definitely not a minority.

Murong Ji had come here with great difficulty, so naturally he didn't want to go back empty-handed.

After leaving Qilidong, he plunged into the jungle. He didn't dare to go too deep and could only search on both sides of the road.

After a few days, the harvest was quite a lot. If it could be made into pills, it would be a huge fortune.

After finding a place to rest and eating some dry food, Murong Ji was also pondering the fifth level of Yuqing martial arts.

Tai Chi Xuan Qing Taoism and Golden Elixir Method are no longer the same after the fourth level. Murong Ji must integrate the two and summarize a path suitable for his practice.

The fifth level of Yuqing focuses on the meridians and uses the true qi to nourish and strengthen the meridians, which is something that the Golden Elixir Method does not have.

He was a little confused. Was it because of the violent Qi? Or was it because the spells were difficult to learn? He could only think of a few possibilities.

With a sigh, I realized that there will always be a way out when I reach the mountain, and I will talk about the future later.

At times like this, the master's magic power is demonstrated. If Tian Buyi was around, Murong Ji would definitely ask for clarification.

After resting, Murong Ji found a secluded place, dug out a cave from the mountain, and set up an array pattern imitating the Qi Heng Mansion of the ancestor Chen Tuan.

Then he sealed the entrance of the cave, practiced the fetal breathing method, and slowly fell into a state of half wakefulness and half sleep.

At the fourth level of Yuqing, he began to refine his spirit. This time, he did not have the foundation accumulated from his previous life, so he was not sure whether he could successfully form a divine pill.

There is one thing that Tian Buyi said that is very true. If you practice according to the requirements and conditions of Qingye Patriarch, almost no one can succeed.

Canglian Mountain is indeed rich in spiritual energy. If it were not one of the Ten Thousand Mountains, there would definitely be many people who would establish sects and practice cultivation here.

A year had passed since Murong Ji woke up. He was extremely hungry and felt weak all over. In the darkness, he felt for the dry food he brought with him, but it had already weathered and dried up.

I felt helpless. Even though I didn't want to eat, I had to eat it. I shook the dry food into powder and forced myself to swallow it.

Having something in my stomach made me feel much better, as if I had found my life again.

I opened the water bag and a foul smell came out. The water had gone bad.

He picked up the Tianwen sword, slung his bow and arrow, and walked out of the cave. After a few more times, his spirit would be full and form a magic pill.

After leaving the cave, Murong Ji shot a wild rabbit, prepared it by the stream, and set up a grill.

Then he washed the water bag, fetched some stream water, boiled it, and then poured it into the water bag.

Murong Ji took a big gulp, "Ah~" his dry mouth and tongue were relieved, and he lay back comfortably.

After eating and drinking, when Murong Ji was about to go back, he was stunned. The Tianwen Sword and the Dragon Snake Bow had become somewhat spiritual, and it felt like an extension of his arms.

It seems like another self.

The feeling was very subtle, but extremely clear. Murong Ji frowned tightly and let go of the weapon refining method given to him by his master's wife Su Ru.

It said above that it takes at least three years of nurturing with true Qi to give birth to a spiritual being, how come it's only been one year?

He changed so many things that I can't find the reason.

[When you were practicing, the evil spirits in the mountains were directed to them.]

As soon as the sound of the Vajra Bracelet fell, Murong Ji was startled, then he reacted, his heart skipped a beat. He had forgotten one thing, that everything is in balance.

Any place with abundant spiritual energy must be filled with evil spirits. Qingyun Mountain is a blessed place for immortals. It is the Zhuxian Sword Formation that gathers and accumulates the evil spirits. He quickly sat cross-legged and checked his body, but found nothing abnormal. Murong Ji stood up with a heavy face and returned to the cave.

This time, he did not fall asleep, but carefully practiced the fetal breathing method. After that mysterious feeling integrated into his body, Murong Ji did not find anything unusual.

He took a look at the magic weapon in his hand, his pupils suddenly shrank, and two extremely thin black and light blue threads slowly spread from his body to the Tianwen Sword.

The thin thread is 100% thinner than a hair. If it weren't for the dark environment, the light blue light and the dark black light complementing each other, it would be impossible to detect it.

The Dragon Snake Bow does not have this effect, or if it does, it cannot be seen with the naked eye.

Murong Ji picked up the Tianwen Sword and looked at it carefully. Two almost imperceptible thin lines connected to the gold and silver threads on the sword, flowing slowly along the patterns stripped from the Vajra Bracelet.

At the three nodes of upper, middle and lower, they slowly merged and then slowly separated. The light after the fusion was somewhat different.

The overall light dims and brightens, just like breathing.

Murong Ji suddenly had a strange thought. Tianwenjian was practicing...

The thought startled Murong Ji, and he almost dropped his sword. After calming down, Murong Ji stopped practicing the fetal breathing method, and the two rays of light disappeared.

He restarted it, and after a dozen breaths, the light became brighter again. Murong Ji felt that there was a problem with the iron plate, or there was a problem with the pattern he had imprinted.

I looked at the Dragon Snake Bow and it was the same, not obvious.

Murong Ji frowned, [Could this be some kind of cultivation method? ] He couldn't help but think so, the three nodes corresponded to the three Dantian.

The meridians and collaterals of the human body correspond to spiritual energy and evil spirits, and perhaps this is indeed some kind of spiritual practice!
"Lingshu·Jingmai": "The twelve meridians are hidden between the flesh, deep and invisible; the most common one is the Taiyin meridian of the foot, which passes above the outer ankle and has nowhere to hide. The floating and commonly seen meridians are all collaterals."

There are three types of meridians: the twelve main meridians, the twelve collateral meridians (connecting the internal organs and the meridian endings of the hands and feet), and the eight extraordinary meridians, among which the twelve main meridians are the most important.

There are also three types of collateral vessels (blood vessels): fifteen collateral vessels, twelve meridian tendons, and twelve skin areas, among which the fifteen collateral vessels are the main ones.

Murong Ji came back to his senses and suddenly thought of a question in his mind: what would happen if he integrated the evil spirit into his qi and blood, and then let the meridians run and interweave them in his dantian?
He didn't dare to try it. This idea was too dangerous. It was better to practice honestly. Now he didn't have the foundation and qualifications to create a method. The risk was too great.

However, he also had a bold guess: could the so-called array patterns, instrument patterns, etc., have evolved based on meridians?

[If I have the chance in the future, I will collect meridian maps of various animals and plants. ]

Suppressing his thoughts, Murong Ji began to practice.

When he woke up again, he didn't know how long it had been. He didn't feel very hungry, so he estimated that it wasn't very long.

The progress of his cultivation was much faster than he had imagined. At this moment, his upper dantian was slightly swollen, which was a sign of the formation of the divine elixir.

After a simple meal, Murong Ji began to practice the fifth level of Yuqing Realm.

He didn't know what effect practicing meridians had, but since Senior Qingyun had added this step of practice, it must be useful.

The twenty meridians in the human body are generally three circulatory systems. It is extremely complicated and time-consuming to refine them.

Murong Ji was very strict with himself, not only the meridians, but also the collaterals. It took him more than a year to complete the fifth level of Yuqing practice.

After feeling it carefully, he found no obvious changes in his body. He picked up the magic weapon and walked outside.

Pushing the boulder at the entrance, Murong Ji frowned slightly. Why did he smell a bloody smell? Was there a beast fighting nearby?

Then I realized that this was human blood! Human blood smelled strong!
He leaped onto the tree trunk in one sudden step and kept moving through the jungle, chasing the smell of blood.

He landed on the tree trunk and looked at the tiger below, which was also rushing over there. His face was a little gloomy. The smell of blood was so strong, there must be quite a few dead people!
Murong Ji's heart sank, [It is estimated that some barbarians attacked the caravan! ]

Thinking of this, Murong Ji sped up a bit.

Quietly landing in the tree canopy and looking towards the middle of the road, Murong Ji's pupils shrank, [I really guessed it right! ]

The road was littered with corpses. A rough count showed that there were nearly a thousand people! But...

Looking at their attire, they don't look like a caravan! They look more like slaves or villagers, not locals.

"Senior Brother Mu! Here!"

Murong Ji looked in the direction of the sound and saw two people in coarse linen clothes searching for something among the corpses.

He secretly breathed a sigh of relief. His current strength was still low, and what he feared most was meeting the masters among the southern border barbarians.

Just as I was about to remind the two to leave quickly, the words were on the tip of my tongue, but I saw the two of them took a wooden barrel and started to drain the blood...

Behind the two men, there were seven or eight people, pouring blood from the pile of corpses, and some were carrying the blood onto the car...

The cleaned body was placed aside separately.

Murong Ji's face turned pale and he quickly swallowed his words.

I subconsciously slowed down my breathing and heartbeat, and just stayed quietly in the tree canopy.
