A Xuantian Sword Jue, apart from one mental formula, is divided into thirteen layers.
The first three levels correspond to the realm of enlightenment, focusing on warming the body and meridians throughout the body, making it as strong as a body-training martial artist.
In the next three levels, when you are in the Spirit Pointing Realm, a sword energy seed is condensed using a secret method and planted in the Purple Mansion between the eyebrows to nourish endless sword energy.
Once you practice to a high level, the first six levels of this sword art will be combined into one, drawing the countless sword energy nourished in Zifu. As the magic power circulates in the meridians, you need to complete the thirty-six Great Zhoutian in one breath.
Only then can a little sword essence be cultivated in the Dantian.
As long as the sword essence is 10%, you can naturally enter the third realm. From then on, the magic power has its own edge. A wisp of magic power is a sword energy. If it matches the sword essence and is equipped with an exclusive natal flying sword, it can be used to kill the early and later stages.
Between flips of hands.
However, for Ji Yuan, the difficulty of this sword technique is to draw the sword energy in Zifu and circulate it in the meridians in the thirty-six great circles at one go.
For ordinary monks, even if they practice the Xuantian Sword Art, as long as they follow the steps step by step instead of doing it all at once, and lay a solid foundation, it will be difficult to return, but at least their lives will not be in danger.
But Ji Yuan is different. There is a lake of sword energy in the Purple Mansion between his eyebrows!
If the sword energy is activated, such a majestic and heavy lake of sword energy will inevitably rush out like a stormy sea. Let alone a complete cycle for a week, I am afraid that in an instant, his physical body will be unable to bear it.
And collapse.
It is precisely because of this that Ji Yuan has only practiced the General Mental Technique for more than a year without completely deciding whether to practice the Dao Dharma Scroll or the Sword Technique Chapter. This has also caused the progress of his cultivation to be delayed a lot.
However, now that the meridians have been reshaped and the two Foundation-Building Pulsation Condensing Pills have been completely refined, his meridians are several times tougher than before, barely able to withstand the weight of the sword energy in Zi Mansion.
He has observed and practiced the Xuantian Sword Jue several times, and the first three levels of movement skills have been memorized by heart.
At this moment, he could no longer suppress the desire in his heart. As soon as his thoughts moved slightly, the essence in his Dantian spurted out and poured into the meridians all over his body.
After practicing for one year and eight months, this is the first time that Ji Yuan has run a complete exercise. Previously, he only relied on a general outline of the mental method.
But even so, the essence he cultivated is still much purer and richer than the direct disciples of ordinary famous sects.
Now these essences are circulated through the first three levels of Xuantian Sword Technique. Every time it circulates for a small Zhoutian, half of it will be dispersed into the whole body, and for every big Zhoutian, there will be pure essence.
It emerges from the flesh and blood and returns to the meridians.
This round and round seems to consume a lot of energy, but it is a process of purification and refining. After each great cycle, your own energy will become purer.
If things go on like this, whether it is purity or simplicity, it will far surpass other monks.
Not to mention that in each week, the energy consumed is not dissipated out of thin air, but integrated into the body's flesh and blood, steadily increasing the physical strength.
Just after a big week, his physical strength has increased a little!
However, this improvement will also weaken over time. Everything in the world has its own limits, and it is impossible to truly improve endlessly.
In the next three days, Ji Yuan did not stop practicing, and he performed one great cycle after another, until his meridians felt a dull pain, and he could no longer stop.
When all the energy returned to his Dantian, he let out a long sigh of relief, and the light in his eyes flickered. It was obvious that he was still in the late stage of enlightenment, but his aura had increased by more than one degree.
But just for a moment, the aura on his body dropped to the middle stage of enlightenment again, but he had used a layer of blindness on himself to prevent outsiders from seeing through his true cultivation.
This secret method is recorded in the Xuantian Dao Sutra. Unless it is a whole higher realm, ordinary monks will not be able to sense the slightest clue.
After sitting cross-legged and practicing for three consecutive days, Ji Yuan stretched his waist vigorously after getting out of bed, and looked across the living room at the two people who were still immersed in alchemy.
He walked quietly to the two of them
After watching carefully for a while, I found that although Zhao Yuebai was very talented and could learn everything very quickly, Jiang He was still superior in terms of alchemy.
He is naturally close to the wood genus, and he practices the inherited skills of Jiuxuanmen Deadwood Peak. He can feel the pharmacology of medicinal materials in more detail, which can be of great help to alchemy.
It even contains the essence of the wood genus in its body, which can moisturize and adjust the medicinal power of the elixir, making it blend together more peacefully.
As a result, he is naturally much more talented in alchemy than Zhao Yuebai.
Not long after, the two of them made elixirs one after another. Although they both learned alchemy on the same day, the quality of Jiang He's elixir was obviously higher than that of Zhao Yuebai.
The latter had no other thoughts about this and always maintained a stable state of mind.
"Jiang He, you go out to relax and move your body. Yue Bai and I have some cultivation matters to discuss."
Ji Yuan thought for a moment and then spoke directly.
Hearing this, Jiang He nodded immediately and left the hut without saying a word, closing the door behind him.
But he did not go far, but stayed outside the hut with Guo Tao, talking and laughing with Liao Qiming and others.
"Master?"
Zhao Yuebai looked confused, not understanding what his master was going to say.
Ji Yuan pondered for a moment, then divided the Xuantian Dao Jing into Dao Dharma volumes and Sword Jue chapters, told his apprentice in detail, and asked him which path he wanted to take.
Whether it is the return of all dharma to the sect or the destruction of all dharma with one sword, both paths lead directly to the realm of Jindan and above, and they are still a broad road.
As long as you practice step by step and have no shortage of talent and resources, your future achievements will not be low.
In fact, according to his original idea, he planned to wait until Zhao Yuebai had a deep enough understanding of the general outline of the Taoist Scriptures, and then let him practice the two differentiated techniques.
However, the plan is far faster than the change. It won't be long before they go to the county. Although there should be no danger in this trip, they are not afraid of ten thousand, just afraid of the worst. If they can improve their cultivation level, they will really need it by then.
I can feel more confident about anything.
What's more, God knows whether the god Xuanzong will really come to your door, so it's best to make more preparations.
"Yue Bai naturally wants to be a swordsman!"
The light in his eyes flashed and his face was full of excitement.
Thinking about it, regardless of the avenue, no matter whether it is a man or a boy in this world, I am afraid that he can't refuse to become a swordsman with unparalleled grace.
In this way, it was easy. Ji Yuan immediately pointed out his fingertips and landed on the center of Zhao Yuebai's eyebrows, pouring all the first three levels of Xuantian Sword Technique's exercise routes and the core mental formula into his mind.
among.
This kind of ability was only acquired after he touched the threshold of the second realm and the soul light became extremely solid.
In less than half a moment, Ji Yuan stopped his hand and stepped back, looking at Zhao Yuebai with his eyes closed, obviously comprehending the newly acquired skills.
He smiled slightly and did not wait here. He turned around and walked out of the hut. He stood in the small courtyard with a few people and watched the Ming Xinxuan clerks busy.
"Senior brother, nothing happened in the past three days, right?"
Ji Yuan suddenly turned his head and looked at the fifth senior brother Guo Tao beside him.
After hearing this, the latter thought for a while, then slowly shook his head and said, "Everything is calm and nothing happened."
Even in the past few days, the amount of materials and various elixirs consumed by Ming Xinxuan has been significantly reduced. The people in the city have already passed the most difficult time. They only need to wait for the lockdown to be lifted, which will not take long.
Basic livelihoods can be restored.
But the group of gentlemen in the county government, either because they felt that there was no hope or because they were concerned about the warning of Xu Lin, the sword holder, completely stopped making any movement after several secret sabotages.
Even those several secret attacks were skillfully resolved by Qian Nichang and did not cause any losses.
Everything seems to be developing in a good direction. Just wait for the news to come from the county and town, and everything will be completely wiped out.
Settled.
But after Ji Yuan heard this, he couldn't help but frown, and there was a faint fluctuation in his heart, as if something was about to happen.
And even if he didn't have this strange feeling in his heart, he didn't think that the various forces from the county and city would choose to give up so easily. The smoothness at this time might be the calm before the storm.
"You still have to be careful..."
He murmured to himself, not only was there no joy on his face, but there was also a touch of worry.
If the dozen or so spokesmen of various forces in the county and city were really brought to an end because of a word from the sword holder Xu Lin and a Qian Nishang, then they would not be placed in the county and city as liaisons.
Everyone has chosen.
Perhaps in terms of spiritual practice, these people have no hope of achieving greatness, and may even only have twenty or thirty years of life left, but in terms of city government strategy, they will never be too weak, otherwise the forces behind them would have been trapped to death long ago.
So the quieter it is at the moment, the more likely it will be that the storm will be ignored in the future.
"Senior brother, come with me."
Ji Yuan thought for a long time, greeted Guo Tao and walked out.
After arriving at the lobby of Ming Xinxuan, he did not step out of the door directly. After asking the waiter, he went directly to the third floor.
At this time, in addition to Qian Nichang and Liu Ruyan, there were two other people in Qian Nishang's room.
One is an old woman over fifty years old. She is her mother's personal maid and has taken care of her food, clothing and daily life since she was a child.
As for the other person, Ji Yuan was a little surprised. It was Xu Liuqing, the only leader of the Three Swordsmen Association!
Now the injuries on his body have long been healed, and even because of the previous life-and-death battle, his cultivation has reached a great height, and he is extremely close to the peak of the late stage of the flesh and blood realm.
"Taoist Master Ji is a busy man. Xu has been waiting for those two furnaces of elixirs for a long time."
Seeing Ji Yuan walk into the room, Xu Liuqing immediately pretended to be displeased and started teasing him.
But now, he no longer needs those furnaces of elixirs. As long as he breaks into the second realm, all problems will be solved, and the hidden dangers left in his early years will no longer be troublesome.
Once the realm is broken, one's lifespan will immediately increase greatly, which can be extended by decades, and the Qi and blood in the body will be rejuvenated, becoming full and vibrant again.
The bottleneck from the first level to the second level, whether because of the life-and-death battle or the blessing of merit, has become extremely loose. Xu Liuqing estimated that he might be able to break through after practicing hard for a year or two.
When Ji Yuan heard this, he glared at him angrily and said nothing in reply. He said hello to Qian Nichang and the others, then went to find a place to sit down by himself, and added a few cups of spiritual tea for himself and his senior brother.
.
Regarding the other party's situation, I'm afraid no one knows it better than him. With his alchemy attainments and medical skills, he can figure out the difference after just one or two glances.
"My boss, why are you all gathered here? Even Xu Hui's capital has been invited?"
He chuckled and said it in a weird way, as if no one could do it.
However, as the words fell, not only did Xu Liuqing not respond, but the expressions of everyone present changed slightly, and a layer of gloom fell over their brows.
Seeing this scene, Ji Yuan immediately understood. He raised his eyelids and asked, "Is something happening in the city?"
Qian Nishang sighed and nodded solemnly: "The plague has broken out."
As soon as he said this, he paused in raising his cup to drink tea, and the stern look in his eyes flashed away. After he had a cup of tea in his stomach, he asked with a cold face: "Is it related to those people in the county government?"
No one responded, but the expressions on their faces made it clear that although there was no direct evidence for this matter, it definitely had nothing to do with the people in the county government.
After many days of silence, what was supposed to come finally came!
Ji Yuan shook his head. He had known for a long time that these people would not be able to see the benefits they obtained fly away, nor would they really worry about stopping just because of Xu Lin's one or two words.
With interests at hand, let alone the sword holder of the Mingjian Division of Luoxia County, even if the chief of the division comes in person, there will still be someone who leaves in desperation.
Risk, even at the risk of falling out completely.
But he didn't expect that these guys would actually dare to attack the people!
"What is the current scale of the plague?"
He looked at Liu Ruyan, with a hint of coldness in his voice.
In fact, you don't need to ask to know that once the plague breaks out, the scale will definitely not be small, and if it can be controlled, a few people will not gather here.
Sure enough, after Liu Ruyan pondered for a moment, he said in a deep voice: "Three or four out of ten people in the northern and southern districts have been infected with the plague, but no signs have been found in the remaining three districts."
If this situation is said to be a natural disaster, even a fool would not believe it!
The two urban districts in the north and south are far apart, and there was also a middle city district during the period. In addition, although the disaster situation has improved a bit now, the people in the city still only move around in nearby districts.
This is just to go to disaster relief sites and receive daily supplies. No one will cross the city.
But the current situation is that the two urban districts in the north and south, which are not connected in any way, have an outbreak of plague, while the remaining three districts are calm, and not even one person has been infected with the plague.
"It's really blatant!"
Ji Yuan said coldly.
The other party did this because they were afraid that no one would be able to see it, and it was completely intentional.
Hearing this, Qian Nichang also snorted coldly: "This is a warning from them, with the intention that we can take the initiative to give in and give them some benefits."
Although the group of people in the county government did not say it clearly, their purpose was already clear. Isn't this the benefit that the Qian family is about to obtain.
It was really a big deal to infect three or four out of ten people in two cities with the plague at once!
"Someone from the county government came to invite me to a banquet tonight."
Liu Ruyan smiled bitterly. The plague broke out in the afternoon today. Less than two hours later, someone handed over the invitation.
