Martial Arts: Start by Obtaining the Wild World

Chapter 344 0343: Harvest of Spiritual Pearls; Breakthrough!

In order to avoid potential danger, Cheng Zongyang hurried and dug at high speed and in a decisive manner.

The opening of each temple was like uncovering a mysterious treasure, and one after another the five elements spirit beads fell into his hands.

As the ninth temple was successfully excavated, Cheng Zongyang brought the mole back to the original underground cave. After a short rest, he immediately teleported back to the Hall of All Races.

He rewarded the beautiful mole well. Seeing the mole happily enjoying the reward, Cheng Zongyang was filled with satisfaction. If it weren't for it, he wouldn't have been able to get the spirit pearl so quickly.

Afterwards, he moved to the preservation space, where the nine spirit beads arranged on the table emitted light of different colors.

Looking at these spirit beads, Cheng Zongyang couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth, with excitement flashing in his eyes.

Two water spirit beads; two earth spirit beads; one fire spirit bead; three wood spirit beads; one gold spirit bead!
Eight of them are of fifth grade, and the most special one is a water spirit bead dug out from the temple next to Tianchi Lake. It has reached the level of earth treasure.

This not only can form a set of five elements formation again, but also can replace the water spirit bead in Yufeng Fairy City.

With two earth-treasure-level spirit beads, the Five Elements Formation will be more stable and durable.

The formation of the other spirit beads was obviously buried at about the same time.

Cheng Zongyang was thinking about how to spread the location of the Five Elements Spirit Pearl so that others could search and dig for it. Maybe they could find other earth-treasure-level Spirit Pearls.

If there are five earth treasure-level five-element spirit beads, then the formation covering the fairy city can be expanded, and the remaining unformed five-element spirit beads can be used as spiritual power supplements and placed in their corresponding formation centers.

This means that the spiritual power of the formation will be inexhaustible, and there is no need to worry about the increase in the number of monks affecting the concentration of spiritual energy.

He took out nine jade boxes, carefully placed the spirit beads separately, and then sealed them with spirit-sealing talismans, fearing that the spirit energy of the spirit beads would escape. The earth treasure was marked.

After completing the excavation of the temple, Cheng Zongyang finally felt relieved and relaxed.

He could handle matters within the territory of the Ten Thousand Races anywhere, so he didn't stay any longer.

Soon, he returned to Licheng through the teleportation array, and then came to Zi'an County.

After changing his appearance, Cheng Zongyang walked on the streets of Zi'an County without worrying about being followed by the people of the Immortal Sect. However, when he was walking on the streets of Zi'an County, he noticed that there were fewer people here.

Although it is not as deserted as before, it is still far from the bustling and prosperous situation in the past.

A month later, in a private room of a restaurant, Cheng Zongyang met Li Yihe and Li Cungang, who had successfully advanced and broken through to the Qi training stage.

"Meet the adults!"

The two of them bowed to Cheng Zongyang at the same time.

Cheng Zongyang waved his hand, motioning for them to sit down. Seeing that they were fine, Cheng Zongyang was relieved. He asked, "How have you been this month?"

Li Yihe smiled and replied, "Everything is fine, sir. Something happened in the Xuanyuan Secret Realm in Bingcheng, and many people went there. So there are quite a few fewer people in Zi'an County. Moreover, it seems that the Xianzong's surveillance of us has also withdrawn."

Upon hearing this, Cheng Zongyang frowned slightly and asked, "How did you know?"

Li Yihe explained: "I found Bailixi privately and asked him to help keep an eye out. For four or five days in a row, he didn't find anyone following us. I think the Immortal Sect should have withdrawn those Qi training disciples to explore the secret realm."

After hearing this, Cheng Zongyang pondered for a moment and felt that Li Yihe's analysis made sense. Compared with his own situation, the realm of all races was more important. But he did not relax his vigilance because of this. He turned his head and looked at Li Cungang: "You have successfully practiced Qi. Next, practice well. Don't worry about resources."

Li Cungang stood up and bowed, his eyes full of determination: "Thank you, sir, don't worry!"

But thinking back to the breakthrough process, he felt a little nervous. That breakthrough process was really worse than death!
Cheng Zongyang nodded slightly, and then turned his gaze to Li Yihe: "The current environment is a little different. With the unexpected appearance of the Realm of Ten Thousand Races, a large amount of resources will be sent into the secret realm in exchange for elixirs and skills. Do you have any ideas?"

Li Yihe nodded, his eyes flashing with excitement, as if he had come across a rare business opportunity. He said quickly: "I have also thought about the intelligence provided by Bailixi in the past few days. For us, this is not bad news, but good news."

"Tell me about it." Cheng Zongyang became interested and leaned forward slightly, looking forward to Li Yihe's opinion.

"Sir, as more resources are sent into the secret realm, the resources in the cultivation world will gradually decrease, which will also lead to an increase in resource prices. This is inevitable.

Since the five major immortal sects can't stop it, that's our chance.

One is to stock up! Spend spirit stones to purchase resources and stockpile them, and when the price goes up, you can make a lot of money by selling them. If there are enough spirit stones, we can make more money. "

Cheng Zongyang nodded. Li Cungang beside him also thought it made sense and nodded in agreement.

Li Yihe continued, "Second, we can use this opportunity to expand our network of contacts. When resources are scarce, those monks who need resources will look for valuable or abundant resources. If we have them, they are willing to cooperate with us. We can make friends with more monks and form a relationship connection by providing resources or cooperating. There is more room for operation in this regard. For example, exchanging resources with other forces, etc."

Cheng Zongyang narrowed his eyes slightly, thinking about what Li Yihe said. This idea is indeed feasible. In the world of cultivating immortals, connections are also very important resources.

But no matter how high one's connections are, they can never be higher than the Immortal Sect. Unless someone can exchange for the most valuable Divine Transformation Pill, thus breaking the pattern of the Immortal Cultivation World.

"Third, we can take the opportunity to find some neglected resources. When everyone focuses on good and valuable resources, some originally unappreciated and cheap resources are not valued. That is also an opportunity for us to purchase at a low price. Such resources are not important here, but it is different over at Yufeng."

"Fourth, we can use this opportunity to vigorously develop our own industries. For example, we can open some equipment refineries and alchemy rooms. When resources are scarce, the value of these industries will be more prominent. We can recruit some talented equipment refiners and alchemists and use the resources we purchased at a low price to refine."

Fifth, we can pay attention to those small forces or independent cultivators who are in trouble because of the flow of resources to the secret realm. Give them certain help and support, and after signing a contract, let them work for us.

These people are often easier for us to win over when they are in trouble, and they may bring some unexpected resources and information when they enter the Land of Ten Thousand Races in the future. We can use them to further expand our influence. "

"Sir, even though you don't want to expand your power, now is indeed a great opportunity. Everyone's attention is attracted by the Myriad Races Realm, and no one is paying attention to our rise."

After Li Yihe finished speaking, he looked at Cheng Zongyang expectantly, waiting for his response.

Cheng Zongyang was silent for a moment, then slowly said: "Your idea is very good, but it requires a certain amount of strength to support it. Those chambers of commerce will not sit idly by and will probably take similar actions.

In addition, we cannot take it lightly. While implementing these plans, we must always pay attention to the movements of the Immortal Sect to avoid being calculated by them.

I don't think the Immortal Sect will really sit back and watch the resources of the Immortal Cultivation World continue to decrease and deplete. On the worst-case scenario, when the Immortal Cultivation World reaches a certain threshold of decline, they may start a war.

When resources are insufficient, then reduce the number of immortal cultivators. This is equivalent to increasing the level of resources, which can support the immortal cultivation world for a longer period of time.

Such a plan is very possible for those in power.”

Li Yihe and Li Cungang nodded in agreement. They knew that in this world of immortal cultivation, which was full of uncertainties, it was very important to act cautiously. They also agreed with Cheng Zongyang's idea of ​​war.

In the world of martial arts, when irreconcilable conflicts arise within some countries, or when the existing pattern cannot be broken, war is the best way!

The players shuffle the cards and redistribute the benefits.

The old fashioned way.

Afterwards, the three of them discussed the specific implementation plan in detail, including how to purchase resources, how to expand personal connections, how to find resource points, etc.

During the discussion, Cheng Zongyang constantly put forward his own views and suggestions. He did not try to stop Li Yihe from taking action.

Although the resources of the Xiuxian world will decline in the future, it will be in the future. If Li Yihe can achieve these plans during this period, he will not only be limited to the realm of all races, but also continue to reap a wave in the outside world.

Among them, he can support spirit stones and some resources for cultivation.

When the discussion was over, Cheng Zongyang stood up, looked at Li Yihe and Li Cungang, and said with a smile:
"Then do it well. The only thing I can support you with is spirit stones. This token is the VIP token of the Qinglong Chamber of Commerce. Take the token to find Bailixi. Under the premise of not violating the interests of the Chamber of Commerce, he will give you preferential treatment and assistance, such as protecting your manpower. All expenses will be recorded and I will give them to you when I come back."

As Cheng Zongyang spoke, he took out the token given by Lin Youfeng and gave it to Li Yihe.

Li Yihe and Li Cungang also stood up and looked at Cheng Zongyang firmly: "Yes, sir! We will do our best."

As he spoke, Li Yihe took the token with both hands. Cheng Zongyang left the restaurant first and went to the sect office to inquire about the incomplete map. In the end, he found nothing.

Cheng Zongyang could only pay some handling fees to cancel the reward.

The remaining map is not important now, after all, the passage has been found. If there is another one, it will not be of much significance.

Next, he went to Ma Yue's residence, took the cultivator's corpse from Ma Yue for sacrifice, and left the Black Evil Secret Book for the Qi training period to Lin Feng. Then he went to the cave outside the city through the teleportation array.

He was not in a hurry to leave, but prepared to break through.

He has not stopped practicing for the past month, and he has reached the final critical point, and can make a breakthrough. `
He took out the pill and put it aside, then began to sit cross-legged in meditation, and began to adjust his state to the peak.

About a quarter of an hour later, the true Qi in Cheng Zongyang's body transformed into vital energy, and a stream of vital energy rose from his dantian.

Under the operation of the Xiantian Yiqi Jue, this flow of vital energy began to spread from the Dantian along the meridians to the whole body.

When the Qi and blood are rich enough, they can be condensed into True Qi. When the True Qi is compressed to the extreme, it can be refined and transformed into Vital Qi.

Vitality is the ultimate manifestation of the strength of an innate warrior!

But this process of refining and transforming is not easy. In the martial arts world, there is no spiritual energy in the world. In addition to years of accumulation, it also requires a large amount of blood and flesh essence to replenish the blood, and then transform it layer by layer. The process is extremely slow.

However, this process is much faster in the world of immortal cultivation. Even without spiritual food and spiritual medicine, relying solely on the spiritual energy between heaven and earth, it is several times, or even dozens of times, faster than the innate warriors in the martial arts world.

If there is spiritual food or spiritual medicine to help, the speed will be even faster.

The spiritual energy contained in spiritual food can speed up the transformation of vital energy. The effect of spiritual medicine is far more efficient than simple food supplements.

He had vitality pills and spiritual food to replenish himself, which greatly sped up the process.

Now it has come to fruition.

Cheng Zongyang was not in a hurry. He continued to sit with his eyes closed in the cave, carefully guiding every strand of vital energy in his body, washing his muscles and bones, flowing through his meridians, and finally converging in the area where the spirit bone was located. He made the final preparations for breaking through the Niwan Palace.

In the blink of an eye, another hour passed.

Cheng Zongyang felt that the vital energy in his body had reached a saturated state in the spiritual bone area, so he took the initiative to follow the guidance of the exercises, looking for the route between the spiritual bone and the Niwan Palace, and began to guide this vital energy towards the Niwan Palace in the central area of ​​the brain.

The human body's Niwan Palace is located in the area between the eyebrows and the back of the head.

According to the records of the exercises, there is a ghost in the Niwan Palace, which is also the center of human consciousness. Once there is a mistake here, even the slightest mistake will cause damage to the human consciousness.

He swallowed a Yuanqi Pill, and then as the surging Yuanqi was guided to the outside of the Niwan Palace by Cheng Zongyang, he felt the membrane of the Niwan Palace.

This layer of barrier is like the cell wall, blocking the influence of vital energy, essence, blood, true energy and other energy.

"Next, we must use this energy to break through the membrane of the Niwan Palace and enter the interior, so that the energy and the soul can combine to produce the Yuanshen!"

Cheng Zongyang murmured and slowly closed his eyes.

There are two ways to break through the Niwan Palace in Kung Fu: one is the gentle way, using the Qi to cover the Niwan Palace, and then using the method of water dripping through a stone. The other is the strong way, using the Qi to attack the Niwan Palace.

Cheng Zongyang did not waste time and adopted the second method.

As his vital energy was condensed into a needle-like shape, it directly pierced into the wall of the Niwan Palace!
At the moment of the strong stabbing, a splitting headache came from his brain. Cheng Zongyang almost screamed!

This kind of pain is definitely not the pain of physical injury, but a pain that comes from the soul!

But the next moment, the pain was instantly alleviated by the talent of adaptation.

Cheng Zongyang breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he had the innate ability, otherwise he would have been in excruciating pain!
At this intensity, with the help of his adaptability talent, he basically did not feel severe pain afterwards. It was just a dull pain, like a normal migraine, which was completely within his tolerance range.

Soon, as Cheng Zongyang continued in this state, the wall of the Niwan Palace continued to sink inwards, just like a finger constantly poking a balloon.

Slowly, Cheng Zongyang felt a resistance, which was the resistance caused by the wall of the Niwan Palace membrane being stretched to its limit!

"Break it for me!"

Cheng Zongyang did not hesitate. After taking a deep breath, he gritted his teeth and gathered more energy needles together, and suddenly exerted force towards the imperceptible gray film outside the Niwan Palace!

"what!!"

Cheng Zongyang couldn't help but hold his head and scream again! It was as if his brain nerves were being pulled out and hammered hard!
But at this moment, as the adaptive talent was activated, the wall of the Niwan Palace seemed to make a "pop" sound, and under the full force of the Qi needle, a thin cut was quietly opened!

Small, but enough!
Yuan Qi is an invisible, all-pervasive airflow. After Cheng Zongyang got used to the pain and felt the changes in the Niwan Palace, he began to mobilize the Yuan Qi to quickly penetrate the Niwan Palace through the needle-sized hole. It was like a hole in a spaceship in space, forming an extremely strong pressure change.

The medicinal power of the Yuanqi Pill that was swallowed continued to be transformed into surging Yuanqi.

In the Niwan Palace, that almost non-existent ghost was floating aimlessly in the sea of ​​consciousness.

It controls human consciousness and spiritual perception.

Ordinary people are only able to sense a little bit within their bodies, and innate warriors can look inward a little, but they cannot project their thoughts outward or sense their souls!

Cheng Zongyang cannot control his own soul, but he can control his vital energy.

When he circulated a large amount of vital energy into it, he also found that the wall of the Niwan Palace was gradually healing.

Now, Cheng Zongyang took advantage of this opportunity, and after the vital energy flow entered the Niwan Palace, it automatically gathered towards the ghost.

This is an instinctive mutual attraction, just like positive and negative attract each other.

The more vital energy is absorbed, the stronger the consciousness will be after the soul is formed!
Soon, the wandering ghost was wrapped in a large amount of vital energy. In an instant, the ghost was like a sponge, which came into contact with the vital energy and absorbed it greedily and thirstily.

From passive absorption at the beginning, gradually turning into active absorption!

As the vital energy was absorbed by the Yin Spirit, the Yin Spirit gradually changed. The Yin Spirit was no longer unconscious, and no longer colorless.

It seemed that because of the large amount of vital energy replenished, while the ghost was rapidly transforming, Cheng Zongyang also gradually felt the situation outside.

He did not open his eyes, but his five senses became more and more aware of the outside world.

The ethereal body of the Yin God gradually swelled up and turned into a substantial soul. It transformed from an unconscious soul to a soul with independent consciousness!
That kind of transformation is what countless people who practice martial arts and those who cultivate spiritual roots and practice Qi have dreamed of!

After about a cup of tea, the needle hole in the Niwan uterine membrane was completely healed! The vital energy was blocked and could not enter again.

The last vital energy that entered the Niwan Palace, the fusion of the Yin Soul and the vital energy was also accelerating. Until the subsequent vital energy was completely absorbed, the Yin Spirit suddenly opened his eyes!
Those pair of pitch-black eyes burst into a bright divine light, illuminating the entire Niwan Palace.

When the soul opens its eyes and the body closes its eyes, the spiritual consciousness is released!

At this moment, Cheng Zongyang, who still had his eyes closed, "saw" the tables and chairs in the cave, "saw" the moonstone in the cave, and "saw" everything within a hundred meters in the cave!
"Refine essence into Qi, refine Qi into spirit, refine spirit into emptiness, refine emptiness into the Dao!"

"The combination of Yuan Qi and Yin Shen refines the Yuan Shen!! This is the Yuan Shen! It is also the divine consciousness!"

Cheng Zongyang was very excited!
The primordial spirit emerged, and the divine consciousness appeared! This meant that he had already taken half a step towards becoming a Qi training cultivator!
The next step is to practice Qigong to transform all the vital energy in the body into spiritual power. That is a true Qigong practitioner!
At the same time, this hundred-meter spiritual awareness was indeed beyond Cheng Zongyang's expectations.

But at this moment, the voice of the Ringwraiths rang in my mind!
