Chapter 7 The Way of Cultivation
Among the eight martial arts obtained from the treasure house, Li Xuanzong only chose two more useful martial arts to practice.
One is the "Thousand Illusion True Explanation" inspired by "The Illusion of Breath Retention".
The former is just the simplest disguise technique, but it only adds a restraining effect, which can disguise yourself as a mortal without cultivation to a certain extent, but it is easy to be seen through by people with higher strength.
"The True Interpretation of Thousand Illusions" uses illusions to change one's own appearance while adding thousands of different auras to disguise themselves.
For example, the aura of a monk and Taoist priest is even the aura of a part of the demon clan. Unless it is stronger than the strength of oneself or has a specific secret technique, it is difficult for others to see through it.
However, this technique also has a fatal injury, which means it requires energy and spiritual energy to be maintained at all times. Once you fight with someone, you will consume your strength or distract yourself, you will immediately reveal it.
"The True Interpretation of Thousand Fantasy" can only be evaluated as a mysterious low-level grade because of this fatal flaw.
But in Li Xuanzong's view, as long as the "Thousand Illusion True Explanation" is used well, the role it can play is even stronger than some earth-level martial arts.
The second book, which Li Xuanzong chose to practice was "The Eight-Terms Guiyuan Sword Qi" inspired by "The Eight-Meridian Sword Qi".
It has a good grade, just like the "Qingyun Dao Miao Zhen Sutra", it can be regarded as a top-level mysterious grade.
"Eight-Meridian Sword Qi" is an introductory technique for the sword cultivation lineage. It can condense its own spiritual energy and disperse it into the eight extraordinary meridians and turn it into sword energy to fight the enemy.
Most practitioners in the cultivation world have very few methods to fight the enemy during the Qi Refining Stage, and basically use some basic talismans plus some low-level spells to fight the enemy.
After all, what you seek for immortality in practice is better than wasting time when practicing some miscellaneous things during the nine-turn stage of Qi Refining.
Only the sword cultivation lineage is a practitioner who pursues the ultimate power of killing from the qi refining to the tribulation and ascension.
Of course, this also represents a niche among the sword cultivators. After all, if you pursue the killing power of sword art, you cannot pursue the pure way of becoming an immortal, and you are easily suppressed by contemporary practitioners in your realm.
Li Xuanzong flipped through the martial arts again, and he was still very satisfied with the power of this martial arts.
The upgraded "Baofang Guiyuan Sword Qi" can nourish the sharp sword energy in the body. When facing the enemy, you will use yourself as a sword sheath and turn it into sword energy to slash it to the eight directions.
You can also return to the original and unite, condense all the sword energy in your body in one breath, and cut it out in an instant.
However, this method is more extreme and it will cause great harm to the body. When the practitioner reaches the seventh level of Guiyuan, the spiritual energy in his body will be completely gathered and possesses powerful explosive power to be able to be used at will.
Li Xuanzong knew about the essence of the exercises, not the amount of it, which he knew in his previous life.
Although he practiced martial arts in his previous life, both martial arts and immortal cultivation were a practice, attacking and fighting, and using everything he could do.
Therefore, although Li Xuanzong was only a low-level practitioner who refines Qi Five Transformations, he had already thought about his future path of cultivation.
What is his advantage?
A humble background, mediocre qualifications, no background or backer.
In addition to the Xuanfa Ring in his hand, Li Xuanzong's biggest advantage is the fighting experience accumulated in his decades in his previous life.
The fight in the world is cruel and bloody. Li Xuanzong experienced more life-and-death battles in his previous life than the old monster in Black Mountain who has lived for hundreds of years.
So he would not choose to practice qi and practice truth honestly, draw talismans and magic weapons like other practitioners.
He chose a practice route that is the same as the sword cultivator, including the system of the sword cultivator, but it is more violent and extreme than the sword cultivator.
In the early days, he took Taoist skills as the basis and honestly accumulated strength to improve his pitiful talent and qualifications.
But in the middle stage, he needed a Buddhist body refining technique, and then he could guide the attack route of the body, and give full play to his advantage in fighting experience.
Of course, the Taoist sect also has the mysterious skill of body refining, but there are few who can achieve the mysterious skill of the Taoist sect quickly. From small to large power, it requires step by step to practice and accumulate a strong foundation. Only after achieving great success can you exert your strong power.
Therefore, in the middle stage, the Buddhist body refining technique can exert its powerful power.
Although Li Xuanzong has a complete plan for his future practice route.
But planning is just planning. Now Li Xuanzong’s first goal is to lay the foundation for practice.
He wanted to seek Buddhist body refining techniques, but the Buddhist territory was mainly located on the Xisheng Shazhou, which was millions of miles away from the eastward Lingzhou.
Even if there are Buddhist forces in Lingzhou, they are still in the minority, at least they are not accessible to Li Xuanzong now, so it is useless to think so much.
Black Wind Mountain is still safe at this time.
After the sage demon saint over the battle with the Taishang Taoist Sect, and after the bloody swept the Wufang Mountains, no one of the forces on both sides dared to act rashly.
So during this period, Li Xuanzong didn't even leave the door and kept practicing in the cave.
Although the Qi Refining Powder rewarded by the old demon of Black Mountain to Li Xuanzong is only a low-level pill, it is just right for Li Xuanzong to quickly improve his cultivation at this stage.
Speaking of which, his deceased master, Zhenren Qingyun, is also a waste.
The other peak masters of the Sixteen Peaks of Heifeng Mountain also have to offer offerings to the Heishan Old Demon on time, but they can get some rewarded elixirs from the Heishan Old Demon.
Only Zhenren Qingyun clearly gave the offerings, but he didn't get anything.
So in my memory, Li Xuanzong only took elixirs once since his practice, and he accelerated his practice. It can be said that he was so shabby.
The Qi Refining San is called San, but it is actually an irregular black pill.
After swallowing it, Li Xuanzong could immediately feel a strong spiritual energy melting in his body, scattering to his limbs and bones, and the eight extraordinary meridians.
At the same time, even the external absorption of spiritual energy is several times faster.
Li Xuanzong immediately used the Qingyun Dao Miao Zhen Sutra to absorb and refine this spiritual energy, and did not waste external spiritual energy.
Although he practiced martial arts in his previous life and cultivated immortality in this life, the gap was very big.
Practicing martial arts is to cultivate the body, develop one's own potential and then cultivate internal strength.
Cultivating immortals is based on refining qi and absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to improve oneself.
One from the inside out, the other from the outside to the inside.
However, although the principles are different, the path of cultivation is different.
For example, Li Xuanzong's control over power is thousands of times that of the original owner of this body.
The same Qi Refining Spoil, the original owner may waste half of his power, and most practitioners can absorb seven or eight parts of his power.
Li Xuanzong's control over power was amazing, and no bit of spiritual energy was wasted.
It can also be used with one mind and two minds. While refining the spiritual energy in the body, it can use the technique to absorb the external spiritual energy. A Qi Refining Dispersion can even exert twelve-point effects.
Half a month later, a bottle of Qi Refining Dispersion was consumed.
At this time, the spiritual energy had completely formed a cycle of heaven in Li Xuanzong's body. With a wave of explosion of spiritual energy coming from Li Xuanzong's body, the meridians of the physical body were completely expanded by the spiritual energy, and the six refining of Qi had been completed!
Since ancient times, practitioners have also been called Qi Refiners, which shows the importance of the Nine Turns of Qi Refining to practitioners.
This is the most important step for practitioners to lay the foundation. The accumulation of spiritual energy until it can circulate around the sky is considered a turn. Every breakthrough will use spiritual energy to expand the meridians of the whole body, and only then can the nine turns be successful.
The former owner of this body is very qualified and does not practice very diligently. He accumulates strength intermittently and takes more than ten years to enter the fifth turn.
Now that Li Xuanzong has changed his skills, he has the blessing of elixirs, and his spiritual control power that is far stronger than his current realm, he can break through within half a month.
However, each of the nine turns of Qi refining has accumulated more power than the previous turns.
It took more than two months from the sixth to the seventh transition.
After entering the seventh turn, Li Xuanzong did not continue to practice. It was not because of a problem, but because the fasting pill was gone. If he continued to practice in seclusion, he would starve to death.
Fasting pills are actually not considered elixirs. The refining method is simple and the materials are cheap, so there are no other elixirs in Qingyun Sect, and there are still some inventory of fasting pills.
However, the nearly three months of retreat had consumed all the pills, so he also had to go to the Danfang to redeem some.
In addition to the old demon in Heifeng Mountain, the Danfang in the Heifeng Mountain Treasure House will give you elixirs. If you have spirit stones, you can also buy them. Of course, you can only buy the lowest-level elixirs.
