Cultivation: My efforts will be successful

Chapter 83 Turtle Breath Condensing Qi, Soul Secret Technique

In the room, six or seven people sat in front of their desks, drinking and greeting each other.
  Chen Zhan dragged a pot of spirit wine and poured wine in various places.

At this time, two people broke in from outside, their voices were cold and they wanted to call for investigation.

Hearing this, the seven foundation builders raised their heads at the same time.
  Duan Wenfang, in particular, looked at the door with cold eyes:

"It turns out to be Junior Brother Lu from the Law Enforcement Hall. Why are you looking for our Xiao Chen? What's the matter?"

Lu Changwen, the foundation manager of the Law Enforcement Hall who was investigating Zhang Yun's death this time, couldn't help but feel something in his heart when he saw the few people here.
  The Law Enforcement Hall has great power, but monks also have to practice. This room almost contains the foundation-building monks from various halls such as sects, alchemy tools, formation beasts, etc. All of them are the mainstays and may take over as the elders of the hall in the future.

As his eyes paid attention, Lu Changwen's voice softened,
  "I'm sorry, Lu didn't expect that Senior Sister Duan and other senior brothers and sisters would be discussing Taoism here, and they would be intrusive.

I was just ordered by the law enforcement elder to investigate the death of inner disciple Zhang Yun. "

"Huh? Zhang Yun is dead?" Duan Wenfang frowned slightly and asked.

"Yes, he died in Beifeng County yesterday."

"How did you die?" Duan Wenfang asked directly.

"Uh" Lu Changwen hesitated slightly, because the case is still being handled and cannot be disclosed to outsiders except law enforcement personnel.
  But the weight of the people in this room. Besides, the cause of Zhang Yun’s death is basically clear.

think of this,
  Lu Changwen said:

"Preliminary investigation revealed that Zhang Yun attacked and killed the outer disciple Gong Qingshui for no reason, but was saved by the outer disciple Liu Daoyuan who came to the rescue.
  Liu Daoyuan fought with Zhang Yun and killed him.

Chen Yi was also present at the time. According to Gong Qingshui's description, Chen Yi activated the signal talisman to attract Liu Daoyuan.

There are still some questions that need to be asked to Master Nephew Chen. "

"Oh, that's right, then you can ask." Duan Wenfang pondered for a long time, seeming to be thinking about something, and finally nodded in agreement.

"Senior Sister Duan, according to discipline, when I ask questions, Senior Nephew Chen needs to release his spiritual sense so that we can judge whether his answer is true."

"Hmph!" Duan Wenfang snorted heavily,
  "Chen Yi is the one my father wants to accept as his direct disciple. I can vouch for his answer and there is no need to check his spiritual consciousness.

If you have any dissatisfaction, ask the elders of the Law Enforcement Hall to go to my father. "

"This" Lu Changwen's face turned pale.

At this time, other people also helped, "What, Xiao Lu, just the few of us sitting together are not enough to guarantee him a junior at the fifth level of Qi Refining?

Or do you, the Law Enforcement Hall, think that all of us might betray the sect? "

"Don't dare!" Lu Changwen's expression changed and he waved his hand quickly.

"Okay, Chen Yi, let me ask questions. You have to tell the truth. Xiaojiu, activate the image stone."

"Please ask Uncle Master, Chen Yi will tell you everything you know." Chen Yi cupped his fists and saluted.

"Why did you and Gong Qingshui go out to the sect yesterday?"

"Senior Sister Gong's father passed away. I was originally a servant of the Gong family. I later learned medical skills from Mr. Gong, so I came back to express my condolences."

"Yes. Why did you leave Gong Qingshui and return to the Gong family alone after you returned?"

"Chen has always been timid in his life. On the way, he reminded the senior sister passing by that there might be something fishy about the old man's death, so he should be careful, so he chose to divide his troops into two groups, one light and one dark, in order to respond."

Lu Changwen nodded, "You are a cautious person. I'll ask you again."

"After you sent the signal, have you seen Tan Feng at the outer gate?"

"Tan Feng? I haven't seen him. I sent the signal and didn't stay where I was.

Because I'm not good at fighting, I feel like I can't be of much help on the battlefield in the later stages of Qi refining.
  He walked around a large circle in the forest and returned to Gong's house first.

I didn’t see anyone on the way. "

Lu Changwen and his subordinate Qi Lianzi looked at each other with doubts in their eyes.

"In this case, Tan Feng also disappeared that day. There may be some doubts about this matter.
  Is it possible that there is a sixth person outside the incident? "

"Uncle Master, could it be that Tan Feng felt that something had been exposed, so he rebelled against the clan and ran away?"

The two communicated with each other to discuss,

"Also a possibility."

"Okay. That's all for today." Lu Changwen said to Chen Yida, then turned to Duan Wenfang and smiled:
  "I've disturbed Senior Sister Duan today."

"They are all doing things for the sect, so why bother?

But since I, the young nephew of Chen Yi, put out the signal talisman, I reported it to the sect at the critical moment and saved the life of the Gong Qingshui disciple.
  He also helped eliminate the traitor Zhang Yun. Is there no reward at all? "

Duan Wenfang squinted his eyes and said slowly.

Other Zhuqi friends stared at Lu Changwen with a little momentum at this time,
  Lu Changwen couldn't help but sweat a little on the back of his neck.
  She wondered what kind of background Chen Yi had. How could a small fifth-level Qi refining person be supported by so many foundation builders, and all of them were heavyweights.

"There will be prizes, there will be prizes. Junior nephew Chen, you have done a great job in helping to get rid of the thieves. I will report it to the elders when I go back. After the matter is decided, the merits, rewards and punishments will be distributed together."

"Well, okay, then you can go back."

Duan Wenfang waved his hand and let the two monks from the Law Enforcement Hall leave.

Duan Wenfang, as the first disciple and only daughter of the chief elder of the Pill Hall, is basically equivalent to the number two person in the Pill Hall since Mr. Duan rarely interferes with the secular affairs of the hall.

As long as her cultivation and alchemy skills are improved to the construction stage and the middle stage of the second level, then she can naturally take over the position of elder of the elixir hall.
  In Beixuanzong, he is almost one of the most powerful few people except the Jindan Sect Master and the reclusive elder.

Even the Law Enforcement Hall would not dare to ignore the resources at its disposal.

Otherwise, if you cut off the supply of elixirs to the Law Enforcement Hall for several years, all the major monks in the Law Enforcement Hall will cry.

So today she was able to summon so many sect foundation-building craftsmen with just a single greeting, which is also a reflection of her influence.

And everyone is willing to show off their momentum and support Chen Yi at critical moments, which is also giving her face.

Chen Yi thought clearly about this situation.

Today, Duan Wenfang helped Chen Yi block the crucial spiritual awareness test, which allowed Chen Yi to pass the spiritual awareness test more easily.
  Especially Chen Yi lied in answering Tan Feng's question,
  But if the spiritual consciousness is really monitored by magic, Chen Yi has also thought about how to answer Tan Feng's question.

I had an encounter, but I didn't recognize whether it was Tan Feng, and then I only stayed for a breath and ran away.

Anyway, it was true that he only stayed for one breath. He didn't lie. He just didn't make it clear that he would kill people in this breath.

Of course, since Chen Yi was saved, he probably guessed what was going on.

In Duan Wenfang's eyes, Chen Yi had taken the "Soul Seed" elixir, and if his spiritual consciousness was monitored, it would most likely have flaws.
  If you are captured by the Law Enforcement Hall and taken back to search for souls, then the problem will be huge.

Duan Wenfang protected Chen Yi only to ensure that everything was safe.

Chen Yi was not grateful for this, and even increased his vigilance.

But in terms of performance,
  Chen Yi bowed deeply to Duan Wenfang.
  "Chen Yi thanks Uncle Duan for protecting me, and thanks all the uncles for helping me."

"Easy to say." Duan Wenfang replied lightly,

"However, Chen Yi, you didn't take action this time. I tested your magic strength and cultivation level two years ago. Although you are not as good as the late stage of Qi Refining, you are not at all unable to exert your strength in this battle." ?
  Come, come here and let me see how your cultivation has progressed in the past two years? "

Chen Yi had already prepared. He first hid the spiritual consciousness comparable to the eighth level of Qi Refining deep in the depths of his ancestral orifice, and only showed the strength of the spiritual consciousness of the general fourth level of Qi Refining.

Chen Yi was smart enough not to take the ice cube with him.
  When meeting Duan's father and daughter, Chen Yi would be particularly careful not to reveal anything that could enhance the power of his soul.

Then he walked over and stood in front of Duan Wenfang,

Duan Wenfang gently put his hand on Chen Yi's shoulder, and released a stream of magic power and spiritual consciousness to check.

Then she frowned slightly,
  "What's going on? Your cultivation has improved so slowly before you can reach the fifth level of Qi refining?
  Also, why is the quality of your mana so low?

I remember that two years ago, the quality of your mana could reach the upper level. Your Blue Water and Black Ice Technique could almost surpass Blue Water and reach the level of Black Ice, right?
  Why have you regressed so much today?
  Hmm. Also, your spiritual consciousness is also much weaker. This is worse than the ordinary spiritual consciousness at the fifth level of Qi Refining.
  Chen Yi, have you been lazy in the past two years? "

This is what Chen Yi wants.

All previous actions were preparations for today.

Temporarily sacrifice the quality of mana, use all the ice power to transform into the power of the soul, secretly develop the power of the soul first,

The temporary reduction in mana quality means that Chen Yi's potential will become lower.

This will greatly reduce Chen Yi's soul status in the hearts of the Duan family and his daughter.

Chen Yi has already considered the following practice. When the power of the soul is much stronger than the current practice, practice will get twice the result with half the effort.
  Especially when it is necessary to build a foundation, if Jing, Qi, Shen, the most difficult Jing (physical power) and Shen (spiritual power) can be strong enough,
  So among the three, the mana quality that is only slightly inferior is the easiest to be compensated by external forces. Moreover, Chen Yi is going to start practicing the Turtle Breath Jue later. If the level of the Turtle Breath Jue can be improved,
  Even if he is inspected again in the future, he will have a way to hide his cultivation, and he will no longer have to resort to expedient measures like today.

In fact, Chen Yi still doesn't know that he is taking a shortcut in cultivation by choosing to enhance the power of his soul.

In practice, the soul is the essence, and mana is just an external power framework for the power of the soul.

The reason why the monk's foundation building is the foundation for spiritual practice is because it officially opens the practice of spiritual consciousness.

Sure enough, seeing Duan Wenfang's unhappy expression, Chen Yi's suspicion was further confirmed.
  The other party saw that his potential had declined and he was not as talented as he showed two years ago, so he felt displeased.

"Back to Uncle Master, Chen Yi's talent is originally a low-grade water spirit root. When we met before, he accidentally took a piece of ice spirit grass, so the quality of the mana in his body was better at that time.
  There have been no opportunities in the past two years, and the mana status has returned to normal, so the cultivation has been a bit slow. "

Hearing this, Duan Wenfang's eyes flashed with disgust.
  At this moment, she regretted choosing Chen Yi. The number of soul-removing elixirs was also limited. Each set of elixirs consumed one of the ancestor's soul-removing seeds, which also consumed the ancestor's soul power. Small,
  This time I made a mistake and wasted it on such a stupid boy.

Duan Wenfang thought about it for a while, then took out a blue and transparent elixir and handed it to Chen Yi.

"These are three high-quality ice spirit pills. Take them and go back to refine the ice spirit magic power inside.
  I hope that when I see you next time, all your blue water mana has been converted into black ice mana. "

She wanted to save it. After all, she had already consumed a bottle of Soul Seed Reinforcing Pill, so she couldn't just waste it.
  Especially when Zhang Yun is still dead and there is one less person among the soul-spreading seeds.

Chen Yi showed an expression of surprise and took the elixir bottle with both hands.
  Ice Spirit Pill, the top elixir for ice attribute practitioners during the Qi refining period, a top-grade first-class elixir.
  The effect is to greatly increase the ice attribute in mana.
  When ice-type monks break through the foundation building, they sometimes worry about insufficient mana quality, so they purchase high-quality ice elixirs at high prices and take them to temporarily supplement the mana quality problem.
  Often one such elixir is worth dozens of spiritual stones, but if the three fine elixirs given by Duan Wenfang were sold,

300 spiritual stones should be all being scrambled for.
  Although these few hundred spirit stones are nothing to Duan Wenfang, they are a huge sum of money to Chen Yi.

Chen Yi thanked him,

Duan Wenfang waved his hand and seemed to no longer want to see Chen Yi.
  Then he ordered, "When you go back, eat the bottle of Peiyuan Pill. Next time I see you, I hope you have reached the seventh level of Qi Refining."

Then he sent Chen Yi away.

This time, Duan Wenfang did not watch Chen Yi take the ice pill.
  After Chen Yi returned, he guessed that the Ice Spirit Pill this time probably did not contain soul-dispersing seeds.
  But he was not in a hurry to eat, he was going to use up the energy in that piece of ice.
  When raising the soul to the highest level, try to learn how to distinguish the power of the soul-dispersing seeds in the medicinal properties.

Serving the big guys for dinner today,

Chen Yi gained a lot,

Originally, Duan Wenfang's real purpose was to let Chen Yi take the lead in contacting some of her personal resources and show them off, so as to prepare for taking over these personal resources after Chen Yi was taken over in the future.

Even for this reason, he instigated everyone to invest in Chen Yi, which slightly offended the monks of the Law Enforcement Hall.
  But I didn't expect that Chen Yi could not be reused. All the advantages he had previously valued were gone.
  Duan Wenfang regretted looking away, so her face and tone were not very good to Li Shuo who introduced Chen Yi.
  Li Shuo guessed that Chen Yi's talent was not as good as Duan Wenfang had boasted before, causing her to lose face in front of her friends.

After deciding to go back, I will give Chen Yi some more training resources.
  We must never let Senior Sister Duan down again.

Chen Yi, on the other hand, gained a lot.

First, it perfectly solved the problem of the deaths of Zhang Yun and Tan Feng, and might even win an award for it.
  Secondly, I got to know some powerful masters in the foundation building period. Although I may not be able to use them for the time being, getting to know them might give me an extra path in the future.

Then, and most importantly, Chen Yi reduced one of the more important talents that he showed to Duan Wenfang for the first time, his cultivation talent.
  Especially the quality of his ice attribute mana has been greatly reduced.

This greatly reduced Duan Wenfang's interest in Chen Yi.
  Finally, she felt that the bottle of elixir with soul seeds in front of her did not want to go to waste, so she gave Chen Yi three ice spirit elixirs out of her own pocket, hoping to save it.
  This also made Chen Yi a little rich. Chen Yi already had ideas about these three pills.

Will be ready to experiment in a few days.

Returning to Cave Mansion today,

Chen Yi must first study the Turtle Breathing Technique to hide the fluctuations and quality of mana, which is very critical to Chen Yi's next series of plans.

Turtle Breathing Technique, a breathing method from ancient black turtles,
  According to legend, the mythical black turtle only breathes once a year and feeds on the breath of time. It does not move the five elements of heaven and earth between breaths.
  And the interval between its breaths seems to be hidden in everything in the world. As long as it doesn't want to, no immortals at the same level can discover its existence.
  [Turtle Breathing Technique (first two levels) (1/10000): Practice it every day and you can achieve it ten thousand times. 】

After Chen Yi understood the practice method of Turtle Breath Jue, he tried the practice of Turtle Breath Jue for the first time.
  This line of text appears in the purple gold horoscope,
  Zhang Yun's Jade Slip of Turtle Breath Jue only records the first two levels of practice methods, that is, the methods of the Qi refining stage and the foundation building stage.
  It is relatively simple to practice this Turtle Breath Technique once. You only need to imitate the process of Turtle Breath once and let the breath circulate briefly in the organs.
  It only takes about ten breaths to practice the Turtle Breath Technique once.
  When Chen Yi tried it for the first time, he felt that he could control a trace of the magic power in his body and hide it.

"This technique is very useful to me. I can practice it diligently in my spare time when no one is around, and strive to reach the second level of perfection within a few years.
  By then, combined with my level of consciousness, it should be difficult to see through my true strength during the foundation building stage. "

Other than that,

Chen Yi took out the piece of ten thousand years of ice and swallowed it again, and began to quickly consume the power of the ice inside, greatly improving the cultivation progress and soul power of the cold bloodline.
  Chen Yi's spiritual consciousness is also improving rapidly.

At the same time, Chen Yi's physical training progress has also been improved. Although the progress of the Diamond Jue is not as fast as that of the spiritual power,

However, Chen Yi currently chooses to spend all his cultivation resources on body training, and is making rapid progress.

In short, Chen Yi's current policy is not to rush to improve the progress of mana practice.

Combat strength mainly depends on physical training, innate martial arts strength and the power of poison.
  In addition, he has already reached the late stage of Qi refining and has the power of spiritual consciousness. Against enemies of the same level, he can anticipate the enemy's opportunities and is basically harmless.

A few days later,
  Sun Ming once again came to Chen Yi with a bunch of jade slip resources.
  Although Chen Yi knew the source of the Soul Dispersion Mark, he did not stop asking Sun Ming to find relevant information.
  Simply finding the soul-dispersing seal is not enough;
  Chen Yi's idea is to understand it, be able to distinguish it, find out its characteristics and flaws, and deal with it in a targeted manner.
  This time,
  Sun Ming came with a first-level middle-grade spiritual fish.
  If you want to learn the preprocessing method of the first-level top elixir Baichunguo, and the properties of the elixir,
  After learning this medicine, Sun Ming will be considered a graduate of the medicine school. After further training in controlling wind and fire, he can start trying to make elixirs.

But Chen Yi would have to expend a lot of energy to handle the first-level elixir himself.

I expected that Sun Ming would definitely not be able to learn it.
  "I have to think about the Baichun Guo for a while before I can handle it with confidence. Today I will teach you a method for dealing with high-grade elixir."

"Top grade is fine too." Sun Ming agreed, guessing that Baichun Guo should be beyond Chen Yi's ability.

Thinking that the gap between him and Chen Yi is getting closer and closer, I feel happy.

After Sun Ming left, Chen Yi casually looked at the jade slips he brought. He thought it was still the same messy knowledge as before.

But I didn't expect that one of them would actually be useful.

It’s also a story. There once was a crazy genius who was in the Qi refining period.
  Every day, I don’t think about how to improve my magic power and consolidate my meridians and Dantian. Instead, I specialize in studying the power of spiritual consciousness.

"The soul is the essence of power, and mana is just a superficial appearance. I want to find a way to the essence!"

That crazy genius used various elixirs and combined them to create a forbidden drug that could temporarily increase spiritual consciousness to the strength of divine consciousness during the Qi refining period.

It’s called Sheng Shi Dan,
  The reason why it is called a forbidden drug is because this improvement comes at the cost of permanent loss of the power of the soul.
  Not long after he tried, the genius lost his energy and turned into a fool.

What makes Chen Yi happy is that the information Sun Ming brought actually contains the initial formula of Shengshi Dan. Although there is no refining method,

But with Chen Yi's current understanding of elixirs and his perception of the power of the Five Elements, plus he has been cultivating the cold bloodline for so long, he also has some understanding of the characteristics of spiritual power.
  After reading the prescription, Chen Yi calculated for three days and almost figured out the refining method of Sheng Shi Dan.

The principle is to condense the five elements energy in the elixir into a pair of "scissors", cut off part of the soul of the person who takes the elixir, and then ignite it, thereby temporarily sublimating the entire person's spiritual consciousness to the level of divine consciousness.

Naturally, Chen Yi would not use this elixir to refine the consciousness elixir. He did not have the financial resources or the ability to refine elixirs.

But Chen Yi was very interested in this part of the elixir's refining method, the short-lived working principle.

Mana is closely related to spiritual consciousness and soul.

Ever since Chen Yi took the Soul Seed Pei Yuan Pill for the first time and was swallowed up by the Changchun attribute of the energy in his body's mana, the soul-dispersing energy was hard to swallow.
  Chen Yi vaguely felt that mana was probably a level weaker than the soul.

But if used well, mana may not be incapable of dealing with the power of the soul, especially if one is prepared.

The pair of scissors in the Spiritual Knowledge Pill made Chen Yi very interested.
  If he could develop that pair of scissors and appear at the critical moment when dealing with Old Man Duan to seize his body, and cut his soul into pieces, then he would be [-]% stabilized.

Don't go too far, let's just say that if you can find the soul-dispersing seeds hidden in the Peiyuan Pill, it would be a good thing to cut them into pieces.

A little closer, even if he can't use the scissors first, it is also very important for Chen Yi to learn the ability to discover the hidden soul energy.
  To deal with the enemy, the first condition is to be able to discover it and understand it.

Chen Yi went to the Yisan Dan Room and used his power to take out more than 30 middle and low-grade elixirs.

After returning, in addition to the daily practice of the Blue Water Black Ice Art, the Diamond Art, the Turtle Breath Art, and the Cold Bloodline Art,
  Then he began to ponder the various principles of the Spiritual Knowledge Pill.

Finally, two months later,
  Chen Yi raised his head buried in a pile of elixirs. Various pieces of paper filled with calculation formulas and principles flew around him.
  His hair is messy and his beard is unkempt;
  Only one pair of eyes is bright and bright,
  He was looking steadily in a certain direction, motionless, but his mind was making crazy calculations.

I do not know how long it has been,

Finally, Chen Yi showed a little smile,
  He silently recited the locations of a series of acupoints and meridians in his mind, and his thoughts moved slightly.
  Let Chen Yi's Xuanbing magic power take a strange route in the body,

at last,

Combined with a certain mana path in the Cold Bloodline spell,
  After going straight to the ancestral orifice between the eyebrows,

boom!
  At this moment, Chen Yi felt as if he had been hit by a bullet in the center of his eyebrows, feeling severe pain!

Chen Yi covered his head and opened his mouth, roaring silently for a long time.

In the induction of spiritual consciousness, his world was shattered into countless fragments at this moment, and the up, down, left, and right, and space were chaotic.
  I do not know how long it has been,

The fragments of the perception picture in the spiritual consciousness began to be pieced together one by one, and gradually pieced together into a complete real world.
  And the order of up, down, left, and right returns to the correct order, and then falls back into this world, settled,
  Chen Yicai came over slowly.

He opened his bloodshot eyes,

Name the new spell you learn:

【Ice Soul Scissors】

[Ice Soul Scissor (1/Unknown): A self-created spell that uses the power of the five elements to reversely cut the soul. The upper limit is temporarily unknown. 】
