"It's too late." Xu You also whispered, "Retreating at this time will only make them suspicious. Hold my arm and don't speak."
Lu Xinyan took his arm as instructed, and the two of them walked slowly over like an intimate couple.
The two men in yellow only glanced at Xu You and Ye Xinyan for a few times and then turned away, seemingly not finding any flaws.
"Boss, hire a carriage." Xu You pretended not to care and glanced at the two men in yellow before shouting.
"Here, do you two want to hire a two-horse carriage or a four-horse carriage? Do you want to call the coachman?" The owner of the carriage and horse shop is a strong middle-aged man with very nimble hands and feet. He ran over and asked while rubbing his rough hands.
road.
"Double-driving carriage, don't call the driver." Xu You said simply and threw five coins over.
"Okay." The owner of the carriage and horse shop said with a smile on his face, "It seems that this little brother is a regular customer. My prices are always fair."
He put away the money and turned to the stable to load the car. Xu You and Lu Xinyan were waiting at the exit.
"Where are you going, little brother?" The capable man looked at Xu You again and asked politely.
"Take your wife back to the village to visit relatives." Xu You said calmly.
"Boy, have you seen a very beautiful..." The tall and thin man was about to ask, but was immediately stopped by the strong man's eyes.
After a while, the owner of the carriage and horse shop came out with a carriage. Xu gave priority to Lu Xinyan to get on the carriage. Then he sat in the coachman's seat, flicked his whip skillfully, and drove steadily westward.
"These days, there are not many young people who know how to drive." The owner of the horse racing shop praised.
The two men watched the carriage disappear from sight.
"That woman's figure is very similar to Lu Xinyan, but her face is much different," the tall and thin man said.
The capable man didn't say anything. He felt a little strange, but couldn't remember what was strange for a moment. He said calmly: "There is only this town for a hundred miles around. If she wants to escape, there is no way she won't come here. We will just wait."
Xu You drove the carriage at a steady pace. It wasn't until he left the town and stepped onto the westward intersection that he started to speed up. Two hours later, he finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the two men in yellow hadn't caught up with him.
"They won't catch up, right?" Lu Xinyan opened the curtain in front of the car door and asked in a low voice.
"No." Xu You said calmly.
Lu Xinyan was slightly startled. This young man's attitude towards her has always been very cold. It was completely different from the men she met in the past who only showed great courtesy or rushed to please. It made people feel that he was different from others.
"Thank you." She said with some fear, "If you hadn't been able to disguise yourself, I would have been recognized."
Xu You smiled lightly and said nothing.
"Don't worry, since you saved me, I will fulfill my promise to teach you the spiritual exercises when we are separated from each other." Lu Xinyan observed the words and said with a smile, "We were not familiar with each other just now, and the situation was urgent, so I didn't offend you.
Take it to your heart.”
Xu You was noncommittal: "Miss Lu, can you teach me the skills now?"
Lu Xinyan was startled: "You want to practice now? Becoming a spiritual practitioner is a long process, and there is no rush."
"I'm just curious and want to get in touch in advance." Xu You said, thinking that if you don't pass it on to me after arriving at the Lu family, what can I do to you?
"Okay." Lu Xinyan's eyes flashed with an inexplicable glint, "But I don't have paper skills, so I can only teach you orally, remember?"
Xu nodded.
Lu Xinyan slowed down her voice and read out each sentence, forming a wonderful practice technique.
Xu You remembered it silently.
This exercise was not long, only about a thousand words. Lu Xinyan read it several times in succession to make him remember it more firmly, and then said: "This is the first part of the basic spiritual exercises, followed by a guide on how to use spiritual consciousness.
In addition, there is a second chapter, but the second chapter is about the cultivation method of spiritual arts, which is too far away from your current level, so you should first experience the first chapter. If you have anything you don’t understand, you can ask me."
Xu You nodded hesitantly, thought for a while and asked: "Thank you, Miss Lu. You just said that becoming a spiritual practitioner is a long process. If you practice this basic technique, how long will it take to become a spiritual practitioner?"
Lu Xinyan said: "If you have talent, you can achieve the spiritual body in about three years. However, some people are late bloomers and it takes five years to achieve the spiritual body. This varies from person to person. The time it takes to achieve the spiritual body does not affect the future path of cultivation. However,
If it takes more than five years, it will be difficult to become a spiritual practitioner."
Such a long time... Xu You felt nervous and asked: "How long will it take to become a spiritual practitioner at the fastest speed?"
Lu Xinyan glanced at him: "Cultivation is to lay the foundation. If you blindly pursue speed, the foundation will be unstable. Even if you reach the spiritual realm, you will be very weak. Subsequent training will be very difficult. I have seen people with excellent talents.
It will take at least a year to break through. If you come back to the Lu family with me, I will let you become a disciple with a foreign surname and slowly start practicing from the beginning."
Xu You was speechless. It would take at least a year for him to become a spiritual cultivator with great talent, and he was still in the weakest spiritual realm. How long would it take for him to reach the realm of Shattered Void? Do he really want to become a descendant of the Lu family with a foreign surname?
Although he saved Lu Xinyan, it was only the result of a compromise. He didn't have the slightest fondness for Lu Xinyan in his heart, and this woman always gave him a very dangerous feeling.
But now it seems that if you want to become a spiritual practitioner, you really can't leave Lu Xinyan.
This is really a contradiction.
He hurried on in silence while realizing the meaning of spiritual practice.
This technique seemed to be quite simple, and Xu You understood it quickly. However, in order not to surprise Lu Xinyan, and at the same time to worry that he had misunderstood it, Xu You still asked Lu Xinyan for advice seriously.
Worried that the Chang family's spiritual cultivators might catch up again, the two of them hurried on without stopping until a day and night passed before they slowed down.
At dusk the next day, Xu You parked the carriage in a secret place and sat in the driver's seat to rest.
The content of the technique kept echoing in his mind, and he instinctively operated the Spiritual Art. Gradually, his mind fell into emptiness without realizing it.
In the dark, Xu You suddenly felt that he was in the endless starry sky of the universe, but there was no feeling of coldness and loneliness at all. What he felt was just indescribable calmness and emptiness.
It's like entering a wonderful state of selflessness that can only be understood but cannot be expressed in words.
Countless strands of spiritual energy from heaven and earth came from all directions and submerged into his body.
So comfortable... Xu You couldn't help but tremble. The aura contained pure energy. After entering his body, it seemed as if he had taken a magical elixir and began to nourish and transform his body.
The body soon became extremely light, and there was an unusually comfortable feeling after numbness, as if soaking in a warm pool, with every pore opening, exuding a strong sense of refreshment.
Skin, bones, muscles, nerves, blood... all the tissues in the body trembled slightly. After absorbing the pure energy, they began to become dense, crystal clear, vigorous, and constantly getting stronger.
Finally, the spiritual energy gathered in the Dantian of the lower abdomen, gradually condensed and enlarged, forming a warm cyclone, like a vibrant seed, taking root, sprouting, and growing in Xu You's body.
As the spiritual energy continues to gather, the cyclone becomes stronger and stronger, and then begins to branch out like hot currents of spiritual energy, circulating along the meridians.
Breathe...breathe...breathe...breathe...
Xu You fell into a wonderful rhythm. Every breath was long and regular, complementing the absorption of spiritual energy. He seemed to have integrated into the great avenue of heaven and earth, giving him a sense of eternal freedom and transcendence.
This state was so wonderful that Xu You was so intoxicated that he didn't want to wake up.
"Xu You, wake up, should we hit the road?" Suddenly, Lu Xinyan's voice rang out, waking him up in a strange state.
Xu You opened his eyes, and abundant sunlight suddenly came into view. But strangely, there was no sudden glare, but it felt very soft.
At this time, the air is fresh, the sun is rising, the cicadas are chirping on the road, and it is already morning.
Xu You was surprised. He clearly remembered that he practiced the exercises last night and fell into samadhi without knowing it. How could the whole night pass in such a short time?
Did he just sit like this all night? But he didn't feel any discomfort in his body. Instead, he felt extremely good and full of energy. That strange state was so unforgettable that it seemed like he could enter it again at any time.
"Are you okay? Are you too tired from sitting all night?" Lu Xinyan was behind him and did not see his true state. When she saw Xu You was stiff and motionless, she couldn't help but ask with concern.
She was meditating and resting in the carriage last night, so Xu You naturally had to sit in the carriage driver's seat, feeling a little apologetic.
"It's okay. I often spend the night like this. I'm used to it. Let's go." Xu You shook his head, his face suddenly looked strange.
He already understood what the strange state he entered last night was. Isn't this the process of absorbing spiritual energy described in the technique?
To become a spiritual practitioner, the first step of practice is to enter samadhi and sense the spiritual energy of heaven and earth; the second step is to absorb the spiritual energy, transform the body, and enter the Dantian to transform into spiritual power; the third step is for the spiritual power to flow through the meridians to form a cycle of the heaven and earth.
As long as you complete these three steps, you can achieve the realm of spiritual body, possess spiritual consciousness, and officially become a spiritual practitioner.
According to Lu Xinyan, the first step of sensing the aura of heaven and earth is the most difficult, and even talented people will take about a year to do it.
But it only took Xu You one night. Not only did he sense the spiritual energy, but he also absorbed the spiritual energy into his Dantian, almost causing his spiritual energy to circulate throughout the world.
What's going on? Although Xu You knows that he is not stupid, he is definitely not a genius like this.
What's more, to accomplish something that a normal person could do in three years in one night is a genius, but a bit too evil.
Could it be because of... the Spiritual God Art?
Xu You thought, if there is no other explanation, then the Spiritual God Technique is the only explanation.
Although the Spiritual God Technique did not allow him to become a spiritual practitioner, Xu You knew that the Spiritual God Technique had an effect, and it also played a big role in a subtle way.;
