Chapter 87 The First Person in Martial Arts and Dao
The sun and the moon rotate around, I don’t know when.
Li Xiang didn't know how long he had been meditating in this cave, but he finally opened his eyes one morning when the sun first appeared.
Before the formation was over, the huge bird that had been transformed into mist flapped its wings and climbed to the top of the cave. If you look closely, you will see that it is no different from the previous Yang Chicken King!
"Chirp!"
The sound it made was not the "clucking" sound it made before, but became a long, sharp, bright and transparent sound...
"call--"
After exhaling a breath of turbid air, Li Xiang slowly stood up and began to examine himself.
Now, not only has his temperament and strength undergone earth-shaking changes, but the most important thing is that he actually found that his Qihai Dantian had a true essence inner elixir at some point, but the appearance of this true essence inner elixir was extremely...
weird...
From what Li Xiang understood from the book, it was at least a round bead, right?
But how could it be a... small tree?
Aren’t all monks possessed of the True Essence Inner Alchemy?
What happened to a small tree?
And there are only two leaves on this small tree, so I don’t know what they mean.
But the power provided by the small tree is indeed real.
"Looks like I have to ask Gu Taozhi."
Li Xiang walked out of the cave slowly. In addition to the natural smell of morning dew and leaves in the air, he unexpectedly smelled an extremely clear scent of jasmine!
"This is?"
Li Xiangxin looked a hundred meters away with guidance, but saw no one, so she shook her head helplessly.
"It seems that my cultivation has increased, but it's still far from enough."
Li Xiang thought that with this improvement, he would be able to discover the mysterious master who had been following him, but he seemed to have underestimated the opponent's strength.
In other words... I am still too weak.
A hundred meters behind Xiang Li, a woman in white looked at her with a complicated look and then quietly disappeared.
On the side, Li Xiang shook his head and stopped thinking about it. Maybe he was sent by his grandfather to protect him?
Walking to the lake, Li Xiang unexpectedly found a pile of leaves on the shore, with familiar clothes placed on it.
"Gu Taozhi? Why are you swimming?"
Li Xiang shouted, subconsciously retracting the Vientiane Formation, and the Yang Chicken King on the roof of the cave behind him and the surrounding fog also dissipated.
"Old...husband?!"
Gu Taozhi was overjoyed at first, but then he noticed the changes around him and his face changed drastically, "Husband, don't take back the formation!"
But Li Xiang was a little confused, but when he saw Gu Taozhi hugging his body and diving down, he felt something was wrong, and immediately activated the formation again, and the environment became misty again.
Then he jumped into the lake and picked up Gu Taozhi.
"Husband, you are so stupid..." Gu Taozhi buried his head in Li Xiang's arms, his voice so sweet that his bones almost went numb.
And Li Xiang was serious, with the determination of joining the party to prevent his eyes from looking down...
However, out of instinct, he couldn't control himself.
So he quickly covered Gu Taozhi's body with his clothes, and then looked at Gu Taozhi's face.
"What's going on? Why are you swimming in the lake?" Li Xiang blamed.
"Husband, you were very warm when you turned on the formation. It's a good thing I didn't take a shower..."
"...Okay, then get dressed quickly and I'll light the fire." Li Xiang suggested as he didn't feel like saying anything.
"Husband, my hands and feet were frozen by the lake water just now, won't you help me?" Gu Taozhi said in a weak voice, which can easily arouse people's desire for protection.
"You also know that I have no cultivation now and am very weak, Ah Zhi!" Gu Taozhi looked pitiful, as helpless as an injured little rabbit.
"Besides, it's not like I haven't seen it before. I'm not shy. Are you still shy?"
"..."
Li Xiang hesitated for a while, then finally made up his mind and said, "Okay, I'm afraid of you."
"How do you wear these clothes? I have never worn them..." Li Xiang looked at the underwear in his hands, his face became more and more rosy, and he said with an embarrassed expression.
Gu Taozhi curled up his legs and covered himself with clothes, and said funnyly, "You can even know all the formations in the mind method, but you still don't know how to help wear this?"
Li Xiang looked at Gu Taozhi's smooth and white back and neck, and then looked at the clothes in his hands. The buttons on them were obviously meant to reach...
"This...I..."
Finally, with both parties turning a blind eye, Li Xiang pinched his orchid fingers and finally put Gu Taozhi's beautiful body into the skirt.
Of course, he accidentally touched everything he should touch, but when Li Xiang hesitated and dilly-dallyed, both of them blushed, and for a while there was an awkward atmosphere in the air.
"I-I'm going to make a fire."
Li Xiang finally took the lead in opening up the silent environment.
After a while, Li Xiang lit the fire in the cave and pulled the formation away, because operating the formation also consumed a lot of energy.
Gu Taozhi walked to the fire and sat down with his legs crossed, stretching out his hands to warm the fire. There was still a blush on his face. He didn't know whether it was caused by shyness or a cold.
"Husband, I'm so cold..."
Listening to Gu Taozhi's weak tone, Li Xiang sensed something was wrong. He quickly sat next to her and touched her head, "It's so hot... It's all my fault. I didn't think carefully."
As he spoke, he used some energy to make the fire burn brighter.
"Are you feeling better now?"
"Uh-huh -" Gu Taozhi shook his head, rested his head on Li Xiang's shoulder, hugged his waist with his hands, and whispered, "I want you to hold me! It will keep me warm if you hold me!"
"Okay." Li Xiang's hand froze. It was obvious that he hadn't recovered from what had just happened. He didn't know where to put his hand for a moment, so he had to put it on Gu Taozhi's shoulder.
"Fool!"
Gu Taozhi cursed in a low voice with misty eyes, and put Li Xiang's hand on his waist.
Li Xiang felt like he was being shocked. It was the first time he touched a girl's waist and it was so...soft!
And it's so thin that it feels like it will break if you apply even a little force...
No, what are you thinking about?
Li Xiang shook his head and immediately changed the subject and asked, "How long have I been practicing?"
"It won't be long."
Li Xiang suddenly said, "Really? I feel like sleeping. I'll be done with it after a nap. So how did you spend this time?"
Gu Taozhi said weakly, "I count the leaves around me during the day until I can't see them anymore at night."
"So awesome? But where are the leaves outside now? Aren't they all fallen?"
Li Xiang just took a look outside and found that the leaves were all bare.
Wait...all of them are gone?
It was still very dense when I came here. Could it be that I have been practicing for a month?
"I, I have been practicing for more than a month?!"
After realizing this, Prime Minister Li said in surprise.
"To be precise, it's fifty-three days. My phone and power bank are both out of power, so I can only count the leaves." Gu Taozhi said aggrievedly.
Li Xiang looked at the remaining branches and fish bones and asked distressedly,
"What about your food? Do you only survive on that?"
It was hard for Li Xiang to imagine that an ordinary person could live on a "desert island life" for more than a month by eating grilled fish every day without seasoning.
"Hmph, don't underestimate me. My grilled fish is quite delicious. Do you want to try it?"
Li Xiang reached out and took out the branch. There was still some fish meat left on it. He didn't know what kind of fish it was. The smell was so strong that it was as light as a bird. It was not food for humans at all!
Seeing Li Xiang purse his lips and frown, Gu Taozhi laughed out loud and said, "Is it delicious?"
Li Xiang subconsciously hugged Gu Taozhi tighter and nodded, "Why don't you go back first?"
"Of course I want to stay with you!" Gu Taozhi said matter-of-factly,
"Besides, I'm a weak woman and I'm so good-looking, so you're not afraid that something will happen to me?"
"..."
Li Xiang inexplicably remembered that when they first met at school, Gu Taozhi used this reason to ask him to take her back.
Unexpectedly, things are unpredictable, and one day it will become a reality.
Seeing that Li Xiang was silent, Gu Taozhi said with a smile, "Actually, this is one of the reasons. The other reason is that the fog was too heavy after you started the formation and I couldn't get out. At the same time, I also want to see what you can do after practicing this way."
What state has it reached?"
"Well... my cultivation seems to have reached the fifth or sixth level of the Foundation Establishment Realm. It may be the peak of the fifth level of the Foundation Establishment Realm."
Li Xiang said uncertainly, and then thought of something important,
"Now there seems to be a small tree in my Qi Hai Dantian...I didn't know this was the case, Taozhi, do you know what is going on?"
Gu Taozhi was dizzy. After hearing this, he sat up straight, stared and said,
"Small tree? The monks all form the rudiments of the True Essence Inner Alchemy at the Foundation Establishment Realm. The True Essence Inner Alchemy will be fully formed when they reach the Core Formation Realm. How come you have a small tree?"
"I don't know... I also found a small tree inside my body after I woke up, with only two leaves on it..." Li Xiang also looked confused.
Gu Taozhi now has no means to explore the situation inside Li Xiang's body, and this is the first time he has seen this situation. "Then do you feel any discomfort in your body?"
"That's not true." Li Xiang replied truthfully.
"I also feel that my strength is greater than before, but I don't know exactly which level I am in the Foundation Establishment Realm now."
"Husband, since there is nothing wrong with you, you can only take one step at a time. This is the first time I have seen you in this situation..." Gu Taozhi comforted her.
In his previous life, Li Xiang first learned the lifelong martial arts of his grandfather Li Hongsheng, and then entered Taoism through martial arts, becoming the first person in both martial arts and Taoism!
Martial arts here refers to the combination of a martial arts practitioner and a Taoist practitioner. While mastering the martial arts skills, he can also master the Taoist spiritual power. This is referred to as dual cultivation of martial arts!
And in this life, Li Xiang first acquired the spiritual power of a Taoist, and then acquired the unique skill of Yanglong martial arts... did he become like this?
But one thing is certain, most of the martial arts techniques require a certain amount of physical support in order to exert the power of the techniques. Now that Li Xiang has achieved great success in physical training, he can achieve it with just two cultivation methods... It seems that
It’s not impossible!
The more Gu Taozhi thought about it, the more frightened he became. Could it be that this all-encompassing mental technique also paved the way for his dual cultivation of martial arts?
Gu Taozhi couldn't help but marvel at the vastness of this all-encompassing mental method...
If this is the case, then no matter whether Li Xiang practices martial arts or Taoism first, he can eventually achieve both martial arts and Taoism!
