Chapter 24: Qi Refining Realm
Seeing Zhang Qian curling his lips, Li Qingque advised: "Don't worry, it's not that easy to improve your cultivation. With your current qualifications, you are considered to be in the upper middle class in our Jianhu Palace. Just keep practicing step by step, and you will achieve success one day."

Zhang Qian was slightly stunned: "Above average?"

Zhang Qian was a little skeptical. After all, his inspiration came from the ancient dragon loach, which was innate. Zhang Qian was usually very confident in his qualifications.

"Don't disbelieve me. As one of the ancient great sects in Xingyun Province, our Jianhu Palace has countless geniuses. There are indeed many disciples who are born with spiritual power, and there are even several peerless geniuses who have reached the level of Taichu spiritual power."

"Taichu inspiration!"

Zhang Qian sighed silently. He certainly knew the horror of Taichu Lingji. His senior sister was the one who possessed Taichu Lingji.

"Senior Sister, the Ye Lingxiao and Xiao Daoyi you mentioned before are the ones who are in the Primordial Spiritual Machine?"

"Yes, Ye Lingxiao is the younger generation of Ye Tianjing. He has only been a disciple for five years, but now he has reached the late stage of magic power. As for Xiao Daoyi, even I don't know much about his origins. He is a genius who was personally accepted by the Supreme Master. After only ten years of discipleship, he has already formed a golden elixir!"

"It will take ten years to form a golden elixir?"

Zhang Qian narrowed his eyes. He naturally knew that it was very difficult to form a golden elixir. It was indeed extraordinary that Xiao Daoyi could form a golden elixir in just ten years.

"When Xiao Daoyi formed the golden elixir, his sect even held a grand ceremony and invited all the sects in Xingyun Province to participate, which made Xiao Daoyi famous overnight. Now, almost no one in the younger generation of Xingyun Province can surpass his achievements."

Having said that, Li Qingque looked at Zhang Qian with anticipation.

"..., Senior Sister, you don't have to look at me like that. Don't worry, I won't be worse than him in the future."

Li Qingque shook his head in amusement: "Don't brag. What are you competing with him for? Xiao Daoyi is now the leader of the younger generation in Xingyun Province. He has a wide range of friends and is even friends with many demon sect masters in the Great Star Sea. His methods are extremely powerful."

Zhang Qian smiled slightly, and without saying anything else, he waved his hand at Li Qingque and said, "I'm going to practice!"

Li Qingque shook her head and was about to return to her room when she suddenly saw Silver-faced Red-faced yelling in the courtyard of the Taoist temple. A strange look flashed across her face.

These two fish spirits are no longer so afraid of Li Qingque these days. When they first saw Li Qingque, they were trembling with fear, and were intimidated by the pressure emanating from Li Qingque.

Li Qingque didn't pay attention to the two fish spirits at first. They were just two insignificant monsters. At first, Li Qingque thought that Zhang Qian was nostalgic, so he brought the two subordinates with him. But now, when he took a look at them inadvertently, his eyes gradually became solemn.

With her knowledge at the Dharma Realm, she could tell at a quick glance that the cultivation methods of these two fish spirits were extraordinary. It seemed that the two fish spirits were just making all kinds of funny postures and yelling loudly, but Li Qingque clearly sensed that along with these funny roars, the blood of the two fish spirits was being tempered bit by bit!

"Come here!"

Li Qingque greeted the two fish spirits, looked at each other with their silver and red faces, and walked over with lowered eyebrows.

"I ask you, where does your current practice method come from?"

Hong Lian was more honest, so when Li Qingque asked her questions, she told the truth. After all, the person asking the questions was her master's senior sister, so there was nothing to hide.

However, Silver Face was smarter. He secretly stopped Red Face from speaking and said, "Let the adults know that our cultivation methods were all taught by the River God. According to the River God, this is an incomplete method that he got by accident."

Li Qingque was so smart that he understood the truth in a flash. He waved his hand to send the two fish spirits away, thinking to himself, "It seems that my junior brother has some secrets. The methods practiced by these two fish spirits are several times more powerful than those of the demon clan's Taoist soldiers in the sect. It's interesting."

On the other side, Zhang Qian returned to his room, collected his thoughts, took a Purple Yang Pill, and began to practice the "Taiyi Demon Refining Golden Chapter". He had already read the "Qiankun Yiyuan Zhenjue", the practice method of the Demon Refining Island, and with his knowledge, he had a full understanding of the practice path of the Xihuang World. He found that his "Taiyi Demon Refining Golden Chapter" did not need to be changed at all, as if the practice paths of the two worlds were connected.

However, "The True Secret of the One Yuan of Qiankun" only records the cultivation methods from the blood refining realm to the primordial spirit realm. Although it is an extremely precious method of longevity in the Xihuang world, there is no record in "The True Secret of the One Yuan of Qiankun" on how to cultivate the realms after the primordial spirit.

Zhang Qian also didn't know whether the cultivation after the Yuanshen would be connected with the prehistoric world. Now he was in a Taoist temple on a barren mountain. The spiritual energy was extremely thin. If he wanted to practice, he could only rely on the Zi Yang Pill.

This kind of medicine has a mild nature. After taking it, you will feel a lively and warm air flowing.

Zhang Qian is now in the state of great perfection of spiritual power. The spiritual power of the ancient dragon loach has grown to the limit of the current state and it is impossible to improve it further. He is about to enter the state of Qi Refining. The Qi Refining state is a more complicated state. In this state, one has to open up 360 acupoints throughout the body and then generate true Qi.

According to the records in "Qiankun Yiyuan Zhen Jue", the human body contains 360 acupoints, but Zhang Qian remembered it very clearly that after the various creatures in the prehistoric world transformed, they clearly had 365 acupoints in their bodies, which coincided with the number of stars in the sky.

The five extra acupoints are extremely hidden. If it weren’t for the insights of the Hundong Ancestor, even Zhang Qian himself would not be able to find where these five acupoints are.

"The 'Qian Kun Yi Yuan Zhen Jue' can open up 360 acupoints, which is already the most advanced method. However, compared with the 'Tai Yi Lian Mo Jin Zhang', it is still a little worse. My own practice method can open up 365 acupoints. Although it is only five more, it is a world of difference." Zhang Qian had a sense of proportion.

As for how to break through the Qi Refining Realm, it was not difficult for him at all. He took out the jade bottle given by his senior sister, directly poured out ten Purple Yang Pills, and swallowed them all with his head tilted back.

boom!
He took ten Purple Yang Pills in one breath, and when the pills turned into a powerful airflow, he immediately felt the pressure. It turned out that his body was too weak and could not support this airflow.

"It seems that my current body can only support ten Purple Sun Pills. If I take one more, my body will be damaged."

With a plan in mind, his mind was immersed in his body. For Zhang Qian, who was in a state of terror, introspection was just a piece of cake.

He used his extremely powerful mind to guide the airflow formed by the ten Purple Sun Pills. The airflow swirled into a ball and floated in his dantian.

Everyone's Dantian is naturally opened up, otherwise the person would be dead. The Dantian, the most important acupoint, does not need to be opened up at all.

Thanks to his extremely strong mind, Zhang Qian was not as cautious as others. He directly and violently drove the airflow in his dantian, turning it into a long ribbon, and rushed out along the meridians connecting to his dantian.

Puff!

A slight sound came from deep within Zhang Qian's body, and this ribbon-like stream of air smoothly rushed out of his dantian, along the still somewhat slender meridians and came to an acupuncture point as bright as a star.

From the perspective of introspection, the acupoints in his body all looked like bright stars. What Zhang Qian had to do now was to open up these star-like acupoints.

Almost all cultivators can open up several acupoints at once when they first enter the Qi Refining Realm. Some cultivators with extraordinary physical talents and unparalleled qualifications can even open up dozens of acupoints at once.

Zhang Qian has the blood of the ancient dragon loach. Although his blood is weak, his body is gifted. Coupled with his innate spiritual power, the first acupoint did not stop him at all.

With a slight "pop" sound, the acupoint was directly broken open, revealing a strange scene. After the acupoint was broken, the ribbon-like airflow was not lost much.

Moreover, after all the airflow entered this acupoint, a miraculous change occurred. Almost in the blink of an eye, it turned into a clear green color.

“Infuriating!”

With only one acupoint opened up, the airflow was transformed into true qi. His true qi had a name, it turned into Taiyi Demon Refining Qi. From the Qi Refining realm, the miraculous practice method of "Taiyi Demon Refining Golden Chapter" began to show all kinds of miracles.

Biqing's Taiyi Demon Refining Qi exudes a fascinating sharpness, but it also contains hidden vitality, which is very wonderful.

These two characteristics are just right for opening up the acupoints. Use the sharpness to break through the acupoints, and then nourish the acupoints with vitality. In this way, Zhang Qian opened up more than a dozen acupoints in one breath in just a short while.

It was not until he opened up the twentieth acupoint that he immediately felt a terrifying pressure suddenly appearing. This pressure came from deep within his body. Sensing this pressure, Zhang Qian knew that he could not continue opening up.

Having opened up twenty acupoints, he had already reached the limit of his physical body. If he wanted to open up more acupoints, he would get injured.

This is the limitation of the physical body, and Zhang Qian has no way to deal with it.

The Qi Refining Realm is a very long stage. After the twenty acupoints are opened up, the previous physical foundation has been exhausted. From then on, one can only use one's Taiyi Demon Refining Qi to slowly nourish the body and increase the strength of the body before continuing to open up.

Of course, if there was a magic elixir to improve the physical body, there would be no need to go through so much trouble.

Chi!
Zhang Qian pointed his finger, and the Taiyi Demon Refining Qi in his Dantian circulated. A stream of blood-red sword energy shot out from his fingertips and pierced directly into the ground, leaving a bottomless hole on the stone floor.

"Sure enough, now that I have broken through the Qi Refining Realm and am in the state of True Qi, I can directly use the True Qi in my Dantian to generate Sword Qi. The power is several times stronger than before, and it is more convenient!"

However, when he saw the wound on his finger, he frowned. Just now, he had invoked a trace of the Zhuxian Sword Intention and used his finger instead of a sword, but his finger was immediately injured. It was probably because his body was not strong enough.

brush!
Taking out the brocade bag given by his senior sister, Zhang Qian tried to use the true energy in his dantian to rush into it. The fiery red brocade bag immediately opened up, and three Taibai Gengjin sword pills suddenly flew out. The three sword pills were wrapped in blood-red sword energy, dancing in the air, which was quite impressive.

After opening up twenty acupoints and generating true qi, he was finally able to use this treasure. However, his realm was still too low, and now he could only activate three sword pills at the same time.
