Taoist Master of Fantasy World

Chapter 42 Ninth Grade Success
Xu Zhenyun took a closer look and was shocked to realize that everything in front of him was very similar to his own bathhouse!

The space is about the same size, with a square pool and walls made of dark wood. Each of the four walls has a light ink landscape pattern, except that the top of the head has become a "patio".

After careful identification, Xu Zhenyun discovered that the so-called "turtle" was actually a lifelike machine puppet!
There is this hut and this square pool inside the turtle's belly.

His eyes fell back into the pool, but it was not clear water, but extremely dark, soy sauce-colored black water; but it was not pure black, with a hint of reddish hints.

There was a small celadon dish the size of a palm floating on the water, with a blue pill and a red pill the size of a longan placed in the dish.

Mu Xiuxin said expressionlessly: "Go in. Take the green pill, sit cross-legged, and guard the Xuanjing."

Xu Zhenyun's heart moved.

His impression of Xinyuan's Taoism was that of a detached and erratic style.Although there were rumors in martial arts schools that the process of advancing to the ninth level was called "refining and tempering the body," he had never thought of a more realistic painting style like taking medicine and taking a bath.

But of course he didn't have the slightest doubt about the instructions given by the deputy director of the Demon Suppression Department, and immediately walked into the pool.

Mu Xiuxin said, "Wait a minute! The skin must be red and completely in contact with the Qinglian Spiritual Liquid."

"what?"

Xu Zhenyun was speechless. He looked at Mu Xiuxin for three seconds and pointed at the top of his head: "Then you can avoid it first?"

Mu Xiuxin, however, remained motionless and said expressionlessly: "You will need my on-the-spot guidance to pass the next level."

After a stalemate for more than ten seconds, Xu Zhenyun walked into the pool silently, with only his head above the water, and then took off his clothes one by one under the water and threw them outside.

Fortunately, the "spiritual liquid" in the pool was pure black... Xu Zhenyun was very pleased.

After picking up the green pill and taking it, Xu Zhenyun sat cross-legged and immediately felt that there seemed to be a bright light in his dantian, emitting a shining light, like a small barrier, completely covering himself.

Black spiritual liquid enveloped the body, combining with the elixir power emanating from the belly.One inside and one outside, one virtual and one real, achieving an ingenious harmonious unity.

The external feelings of the body are burning, itching, heaviness, numbness, and slight pain; every inch of the skin is gradually passing by; while the internal feelings are empty, quiet, warm, and cool, with the smoothness and refreshment of lead and mercury, but There is no dead weight of lead or mercury.

At the same time, the spirit is also warm, as if it is always being supplemented or "supported" by some external force, and the energy never runs out.

At this moment, the role of the "Dao Xuan Crystal" is displayed very intuitively.

If there is no Dao Xuan Crystal in the dantian, then the strong wind will blow by at this moment, like a phantom.It looked comfortable, but the moment I came out of the pool, everything returned to its original state.

But with the Dao Xuan Crystal, this change has become irreversible and eternal!

Mu Xiuxin looked calmly like a sculpture.

Originally, Xu Zhenyun was a little worried that a lot of dirt would be discharged from the pores of his skin, or even smell bad, which would slightly damage his image of being great and upright.

But I don’t know whether it’s because of the difference in the monastic system or because my previous “knowledge” was all made up by novelists in my previous life, so this didn’t happen.

The whole process is more similar to "sublimation", which causes your body to complete a wonderful change in nature, rather than being purified and excreting sewage.

After a while, a lot of the black "spiritual liquid" in the pool was consumed, and the water level dropped to below the neck, almost exposing the shoulder blades.

At a certain moment, Xu Zhenyun felt that his "tempering" had reached a subtle point in time - it seemed to be very critical, but he couldn't explain why.

Just one more second and this indescribable feeling will dissipate.

At this moment, Mu Xiu's heart moved.

She flicked her fingers, and the remaining red pill in the small celadon dish floating on the water suddenly jumped up and jumped into the water!

The originally pure black and slightly red spiritual liquid inside the pond instantly turned red.

What came into view was bright and dazzling blood, like a real pool of blood!

At this moment, Xu Zhenyun's feelings suddenly changed.

In the senses just now, his physical body and spirit were improved equally and evenly; but after Akamaru entered the water, there seemed to be an obvious change in emphasis - the strengthening of himself was mainly physical, followed by spirit.

The improvement of the physical body focuses relatively on the heart, lungs, qi, and blood.

This kind of strengthening was immediate, as if a hidden portal in the body had been opened, and the improvement was so great that Xu Zhenyun could hardly help but raise his arms and cheer.

All the effects were extremely clear in Xu Zhenyun's mind, almost like a treasure trove.

Your breathing becomes extremely long. If you want, you can breathe out and take in every day. This is the so-called "one breath a day".

Both arms are full of strength, each capable of weighing a thousand pounds.

It is worth mentioning that this "thousand catties of power" is a force that can be exerted rapidly in actual combat; in terms of its own potential, if it is pushed quietly with the force of Bao Yuan and Shou Yi, it is enough to reach three to five thousand catties.

The body's recovery ability has also been greatly enhanced. If you use a dagger to make a cut on your arm, as long as the depth does not exceed three points, almost no blood will flow out, and the entire wound will heal in a very short time.At the same time, my appetite increased greatly, and I felt an obvious feeling of hunger in my stomach. If I let myself eat freely, I could eat a calf in one meal!

……

The first half is a "universal" tempering; the second half of the red pill entering the water is a directional tempering that is unique to "martial arts"?
Xu Zhenyun thought about it for a while and understood the reason!
Feeling that all the changes were stabilizing, Xu Zhenyun was determined:
Now, I have completely completed the transformation from a mortal to a practitioner and become a ninth-grade martial arts cultivator!
For a moment, I felt a lot of emotion in my heart.

Finally took this step.

But just when Xu Zhenyun thought that the tempering of the Qinglian Spiritual Liquid was about to end, things developed in a direction he did not expect. The entire red pool suddenly boiled with hot water!
Wrap him up like a rice dumpling.

Xu Zhenyun felt that the strengthening of his muscles, internal organs, and even muscles had been completed and finalized just now, but at this moment, he suddenly set sail again and achieved further improvement, whether it was absolute strength, recovery ability, or bone strength...

At the same time, a strong "sense of presence" arose in his Dantian.And it is growing and filling at an extremely fast rate.

This "sense of presence" is not a tangible energy, but an empty force. Can it be called a "vacuum force"?
This kind of power is the backing and foundation; it can be manifested as external strength, speed, and energy.

According to Xu Zhenyun's most popular understanding, this is the exclusive "blue strip" of the martial arts department?
At the same time, the novelty in my heart that I had just broken through quickly faded away. It seemed that I was galloping on the road after "reaching the ninth level" and went very far away...

Wait a moment……

Am I not breaking through now? ?

Isn’t this the process of “cultivation” after breaking through?
It is said that it is a meeting to teach the Dharma, but in fact it is accompanied by breaking the realm; while breaking the realm, it is also accompanied by cultivation?
This accumulation of power is not just a tiny bit, but has reached an astonishing scale.If he continues, Xu Zhenyun doubts that he can directly break through to the eighth level of martial arts...

Looking up, Mu Xiuxin stared at herself calmly, still unfazed.

But I don’t know since when, she held a scroll of bamboo slips in her hand, as if she was observing her own situation and reading at the same time.

Since she didn't say anything, it meant everything was normal.

Xu Zhenyun remained calm.

Finally, after another quarter of an hour, the boiling and noisy pool calmed down.

Xu Zhenyun's body also cooled down completely like forged fine iron, completely calming down, and his skin was white and flawless.

But once the fog and foam dissipated, Xu Zhenyun suddenly discovered that four-fifths of the water in the pool had actually been consumed, leaving only a shallow layer that would cover his waist, and the water color also became much lighter. .

Glancing up, he saw Mu Xiuxin reading peacefully. Xu Zhenyun quickly reached out and grabbed some clothes and put them on.

As his mind wandered, the invisible "vacuum power" in his dantian began to circulate, his body temperature rose suddenly, and the wet clothes were dried.

Although it was his first time to practice martial arts, Xu Zhenyun found that he was very skilled.

The first time I used my transcendental power after becoming a practitioner was to dry clothes...

After finishing everything, Mu Xiuxin raised her head and asked calmly: "How do you feel?"

Xu Zhenyun replied succinctly: "Very good."

After a moment of hesitation, Xu Zhenyun added: "It seems like it's not just breaking through the realm...it seems like it's made great progress in cultivation?"

Mu Xiuxin nodded and said, "This is normal."

"In today's monastic system, this is one of the most significant differences between high and low foundations."

"For those with ordinary foundations, breaking through is just a breakthrough; but for those with excellent foundations, after breaking through, there is a process called 'forcing forward', and they can complete a lot of practice progress in an instant. The higher the foundation, the better the 'forcing forward' will be." The further away.”

Xu Zhenyun carefully felt the majestic energy in his body, and suddenly smiled: "I don't know if it's an illusion, but I feel that I have accumulated more than half of the ninth level of martial arts, and it seems that I am not far away from the eighth level."

Mu Xiuxin said seriously: "It's not an illusion."

"If we compare the accumulation of cultivation at each level to a journey of walking a thousand steps. A practitioner with a stronger foundation than ordinary people would be equivalent to taking a hundred to two hundred steps in one breath in the 'progressive' step."

"If you get the opportunity to enter the level of the Star Ruins Secret Realm, the gain from 'advancing' is equivalent to four to five hundred steps, which is equivalent to the accumulation of the next level. Half of it will be completed when you break through!"

"The strongest foundation...of course is the person who has received the Xuan Crystal from Heaven."

Xu Zhenyun asked expectantly: "How many steps did I make just now?"

Mu Xiuxin's voice was calm without a single ripple: "Those who have received the Heaven-given Xuan Crystal can directly complete the 610 eight steps during the 'Forward' when breaking through the realm."

"???"

Doesn't that mean that more than half of the cultivation from ninth to eighth grades has been completed?
"Then am I now considered a 'Ninth Grade Mid-term Great Perfection' strong person..." Xu Zhenyun thought so.
