Li Yatong was in a bad mood, and her tone was a bit cruel.
Li Qitong said loudly: "Sister, that's not what happened. It was Zhou Linxian who provoked Xia Chen. Xia Chen just fought back. He is talking nonsense. If you don't believe me, ask them." She pointed at the other disciples.
"That's enough, Qitong! I don't want to hear you defend him anymore." Li Yatong said angrily, looking at Xia Chen coldly, "You'd better not anger me, otherwise I won't mind breaking your legs, you deserve to die
slave!"
"Are you talking to me?" Xia Chen suddenly said coldly.
His voice was bone-chilling, as if snowflakes were falling, and the surrounding temperature suddenly dropped rapidly.
Li Yatong shook her shoulders and her face suddenly turned pale. From Xia Chen's words, she suddenly felt an unprecedented coldness. This coldness was the coldness in her heart, which penetrated deep into her blood. This seemingly ordinary young man suddenly became...
Xiang changed into a different person, full of murderous intent.
In just an instant, Li Yatong's anger disappeared completely, and she stepped back in fear: "What do you want to do?"
Xia Chen glanced at her coldly, then looked away: "Qitong, where is the room you arranged for me? Let's go and have a look."
He suddenly stopped calling her Second Miss and changed his title. However, he called her in a natural and not stiff manner, as if it should be the way it should be.
Li Qitong opened her mouth in surprise, but didn't say anything, and quietly walked away with Xia Chen.
Li Yatong suddenly bit her lip, her face turned from pale to blood red, and her expression became very complicated, including fear and anger, but more importantly, humiliation.
Because from Xia Chen's eyes, she could only see disdain and contempt!
"Xiao Chenzi, the look in your eyes just now was so scary. I was scared to death by you." After the two of them walked away, Li Qitong patted her chest and said with lingering fear.
Xia Chen smiled coldly. He didn't want to argue with Li Yatong for Li Qitong's sake, but he didn't expect that this woman didn't know what was good for her, so she couldn't always give in.
After a while, the two came to a unique and small courtyard. The courtyard was decorated like a cute pink manor, with several houses scattered throughout.
"I'll live here, Xiao Chenzi, how about you live in that room?" Li Qitong pointed to the house on the far right.
"Very good!" Xia Chen nodded. Li Qitong's residence was elegant and quiet, which suited him well.
Li Qitong called a few servants to clean the house, and took some living utensils from her room to settle Xia Chen down.
By now it was getting dark. After dinner, Xia Chen was alone in the house and began to practice.
He sat upright with his eyes closed, looking inward at himself. Under the meticulous induction of the true energy, the skin, muscles, tendons and bones of the whole body were closely connected to form an indivisible whole, shining brightly under the inner view.
As the circulation of Qi deepens, there is a faint tingling, numbing and itching sensation in the meridians throughout the body, as if they are about to be forcibly enlarged and opened up.
The sixth level of acquired pulse refining is to open up the meridians of the whole body, just like the acquired five levels, to connect all parts of the body into an organic whole, instead of being scattered as before.
The process of opening up is also a process of expansion. How much the meridians expand will determine how strong the Qi cultivation will be after entering the sixth level of acquired life.
The fifth and sixth levels of the acquired world are the watershed of the acquired realm. Since it is extremely difficult to open up and expand the meridians, most disciples’ cultivation stops at the fifth acquired level. Although they are still cultivators, they are still mortals and will still be able to do it decades later.
Become a pile of dry bones.
If you practice to the sixth level of acquired skills, you are expected to advance to the realm of supernatural powers, and no matter which sect you are in, you will be the focus of training.
This is why the Zhengxuan Sect has established a rule not to accept disciples below the fifth level of acquired life into the sect, but only to practice on their own. Of course, the Ancient Yuan Holy Physique like Xia Chen is another matter.
At this time, deep inside Xia Chen's body, there were three shining passages, running through each other, and it was vaguely visible that the majestic and powerful true energy was rushing endlessly inside.
These are the meridians in Xia Chen's body. The meridians are somewhere between tangible and intangible. Even if the human body is carefully dissected, it cannot be seen. It can only be felt when looking inside through the true energy.
These three meridians have been expanded and opened up, and they look as thick as the mouth of a bowl. If any disciple of the acquired sixth level of Zhengxuan Sect could see it, their jaw would definitely be scared off.
After an ordinary acquired sixth-level disciple expands his meridians, it would be very good if he could be as thick as the mouth of a teacup. Even if he is extremely talented, it is only as thick as a baby's fist. But Xia Chen must be at least several times thicker!
This means that once he enters the acquired sixth level, Xia Chen's power will be unimaginable.
Connected to these three meridians, there is a meridian of the same thickness that is looming, constantly emerging from the body as Xia Chen's true energy breaks through.
It's just that the speed of the true energy breakthrough is extremely slow, like a turtle speed, as if it is an ice-breaking ship, moving forward with difficulty.
After a while, as the true energy of Xia Chen's Dantian depleted, the fourth meridian dimmed.
Xia Chen opened his eyes and sighed, thinking that it had only taken half a month to open three meridians, and the further back he went, the more difficult it was to open the meridians. He didn't know that it would take until the year of the monkey and the month of the horse to open all twelve meridians.
It seems that we still need to rely on external help.
In fact, opening up three meridians in half a month is already an astonishing cultivation speed. Even a disciple with excellent talent may not be able to open up one meridian in a month.
But for Xia Chen, his promotion to the acquired fifth level was almost as fast as a rocket. Compared to this, his promotion to the acquired sixth level seemed much slower.
Moreover, Xia Chen has accumulated a lot, and the acquired fifth level has gone through two levels of bone refining. In terms of cultivation, the current Xia Chen is much stronger than the acquired sixth level, so the difficulty of breaking through is unprecedentedly high.
After pondering for a moment, Xia Chen took out three vermilion pills from the storage space and swallowed them in one gulp without looking at them.
This is the Meridian Strengthening Pill that he refined himself. It has a very good auxiliary effect on opening up the meridians. Originally, he only needed to take one pill, but Xia Chen was cruel and took three times the dosage.
The body is strong, and the medicine is not afraid of backlash.
Then, Xia Chen took out another snow-white round stone, which was the Yuan Stone!
In the past half month, he has not used essence stones and elixirs. He first planned to rely on his own efforts to break through, and when it really failed, he would use external force. Otherwise, he would develop a habit of dependence, which would be very detrimental to his future practice. Moreover, the essence stones
The copying speed was also quite slow. It took only half a month to create three of them, and Xia Chen didn't want to waste them.
Holding the Yuan Stone, he felt the Pulse Forging Pill melting inside his body. As the pure energy was released, Xia Chen began to practice again. Only this time, he did not need to absorb the ethereal Yuan Qi between heaven and earth through breathing, but directly
Absorb the abundant vitality contained in the Yuan Stone.
Immediately, a powerful and pure vitality energy came from the palm of his hand, poured into the Dantian along the meridians, and almost in the blink of an eye, it was transformed into extremely powerful true energy, which was more than a hundred times more powerful than the vitality pill.
Xia Chen suddenly felt as if there was a fire in his abdomen, and his true energy was so full that he felt like it was about to burst. He quickly directed the true energy to his meridians.
The fourth meridian, which had been as difficult as breaking ice just now, suddenly shone brightly, and then broke through at a speed visible to the naked eye, destroying everything in its path.
Xia Chen hadn't even felt the stinging pain of expansion, and most of one of his meridians had been opened.
Soon, the true energy reached the end of the meridians, and there was a slight lag, as if it had encountered a strong obstacle. However, as the true energy continued to surge up, it was like condensation before a flash flood erupted, and soon began to overflow.
With a click, the fourth meridian, which had been stagnant after practicing for many days, expanded and opened.
When Xia Chen moved, he felt as if a wall had been punched through his body. The two places that were originally closed and insulated were instantly unobstructed. Qi and blood flowed, giving him a light feeling that everything was empty.
After opening up the fourth meridian, the surging true energy rushed to the fifth meridian without hesitation.
Xia Chen's body trembled slightly, and subtle clicking sounds continued to come from his body. The true energy expanded the meridians with all its strength. Because the speed was too fast, Xia Chen only felt hot, but after a while, he was filled with a comfortable feeling.
After a long time, Xia Chen opened his eyes again, his expression returned to calm, but his eyes were full of joy.
In just one night, two meridians were opened, which is almost equal to the achievements of the previous ten days combined!
This Yuan Stone is really a good thing.
Xia Chen put away the Yuan Stone and immediately felt that his strength was much stronger. His whole body was full of energy, and he even vaguely hoped that a master would come to challenge him soon and have a good fight.
There is no doubt that the current strength can defeat the ordinary acquired sixth level, but I don't know whether it can defeat the acquired seventh level, Xia Chen thought to himself.
From the acquired tenth level, the gap will widen every time you level up. Especially after the acquired sixth level, the gap at each level is even more obvious, and it becomes more and more difficult to challenge people who want to leapfrog the next level.
However, even if he loses to the seventh level of Hou Tian, at least he still has the strength to fight. Even if the master of the eighth level of Hou Tian takes action, he should be able to escape unscathed. Xia Chen still has this confidence.
Looking out the window, the night was already thicker than water, but Xia Chen was full of energy and not sleepy at all. He was not tired to begin with. After practicing just now, he adjusted his state to the peak state. Even if he didn't sleep all night, he would not be tired.
There won't be any fatigue.
With nothing to do, Xia Chen took out the Book of Magic from the storage space. He had obtained this book during the day, but had never had time to read it until now.
The thing that can make the cornucopia convey a strange feeling is obviously not an ordinary thing, but Xia Chen flipped through the ancient book for a long time, even turning it upside down and reading it, but he couldn't figure out the reason.
No matter how you look at it, this Book of Magic is a shabby ancient book. The content records some unheard of anecdotes. It is okay to read as a leisure book, but it is far from being a secret treasure.
Could it be that it was just like that map again, that I couldn't see the secret because of my insufficient cultivation? Xia Chen couldn't help but smile bitterly, if that was the case, he would still be empty-handed.
