Atlas of Heaven and Man
#347 - Gather the blood and keep the spirit
Inside the living room, the incense burner emitted wisps of calming fragrance, and the bamboo帘 swayed gently in the breeze. Through the arched doorway, one could see the carefully trimmed bamboo, trees, flowers, and plants outside.
Occasionally, a refreshing breeze would blow in, making one feel very cool and comfortable.
Chen Chuan said, "I did see some things today, but I can't say what they were. I didn't investigate them either. I just followed Senior Cao's advice, guarded my mind, and ignored them."
Cao Guixi nodded and said, "Encountering this phenomenon when breaking through the old method is a sign of sufficient talent. Being able to guard against it and not be affected by the phenomenon means you have passed a difficult hurdle.
But this is only what you need to face in the early stages. In the future, you will occasionally face these phenomena during cultivation. However, this is not entirely a bad thing. These are both your crises and your cultivation resources. As long as you restrain yourself and are not disturbed by them, you can use them to temper yourself, remove impurities, and benefit you."
He said, "Uncle Ding, please bring that book 'Records of Various Anomalies'."
Uncle Ding bowed slightly, turned, and went out. After a while, he returned with a thread-bound book and handed it to Cao Guixi. The latter waved his hand, indicating that it should be sent to Chen Chuan.
Cao Guixi said, "This records some strange tales and rumors. It was originally stored in the imperial archives during the imperial era. This is a copy. It records the experiences of most old-era Third Limit fighters after achieving their breakthroughs, and also includes some notes on coping skills and methods. Junior Brother Chen, take it back and have a look. It may be helpful."
Cao Guixi said, "From the First Limit to the Third Limit, each has its own emphasis. According to the old saying, they are 'Building Muscle Bridges, Constructing Bone Beams', 'Invigorating the Six Viscera, Generating the Five Organs'. I assume your teacher told you this when you were studying?"
Chen Chuan nodded.
Cao Guixi solemnly said, "Now that you have reached the Third Limit, within this limit, what you need to focus on is 'Grasping Essence and Blood, Preserving the Constant Spirit'!"
"The so-called essence and blood used to refer to the vital energy of the human body, but the 'essence and blood' of a fighter is closely related to the mutated tissues. It requires some special things and medicines to nourish and refine. Accumulating essence and blood is especially important. A fighter's combat ability often depends on the amount of essence and blood.
For example, Wei Wusheng's Horizontal Refinement focuses on this path. His ability to regrow severed limbs, regenerate flesh from bones, and return from death to life lies in the accumulation of abundant essence and blood behind him.
Its source lies in the 'heart'.
The so-called Constant Spirit is the 'ever-present spirit', which can make a fighter's mind more敏锐, and his whole body smoother, making him the true master of himself.
Third Limit fighters often possess amazing speed and superior physical coordination, which is due to this.
Because the mind is changeable and often wanders, it needs to be nourished and refined at all times to ensure that it remains guarded and does not lose its way. This requires a special method of training. The spontaneous phenomena are one of them, so I say this is not entirely a bad thing.
Fighters who are not from orthodox backgrounds usually find it difficult to nourish and refine this path. They can only slowly磨 it through crude and superficial methods in life-and-death battles. I have a set of methods here that you can take back for reference.
In addition, Martial Valor Academy can purchase corresponding methods. You can try both methods and see which one is suitable for you. It doesn't matter if you use them simultaneously. The mind is changeable, and the more you see, the more resilient it becomes.
If the Constant Spirit is guarded deeply, it can control the body's growth, prevent the loss of youth, and prolong life. Some fighters are often a hundred years old, and without taking medicine, they still have a youthful appearance and jade-like skin, which is due to this.
Its source lies in the brain.
Essence and blood and the Constant Spirit complement each other. It is best to advance both at the same time, rather than focusing on one side, as that is just a lame person."
Hearing this, Chen Chuan, combined with what he knew and felt, suddenly understood a lot and showed a thoughtful expression.
Cao Guixi waited intentionally for a while, and when he saw that he had digested these things and his attention had returned, he continued, "Next, I will tell you how to cultivate.
There are only two ways. One is still using medicine. The government, major companies, and academies all provide nourishing medicines, but unlike before, the medicines for the Third Limit are specially made. The channels for obtaining them are scarce and extremely expensive.
Although you are a medicine tester for the Qingnang Jade Workshop, after reaching the Third Limit, the previous agreement is useless to you. You need to sign a certain agreement again. If you want to obtain them, that is one way, but such large companies may also use drugs to deepen their control over you, so you should consider carefully before making a decision.
The other path involves a message that cannot be disclosed to the outside world at will. I am restricted by the agreement and cannot tell you about it at present, but don't worry. In at most one or two months, the academy or the Processing Bureau will have someone to tell you about these things and explain them to you clearly."
Speaking of this, he reminded again, "You must choose carefully after this path, but you are currently in the consolidation stage, so you don't have to think about these things for at least thirty to forty days. Later, I will give you a list of medicines for regulating and maintaining your health. Just buy them from the academy according to this."
Chen Chuan clasped his fist in his seat and said solemnly, "Thank you, Senior Cao."
When the Processing Bureau recommended Senior Cao as his professor, they only asked him to teach him up to the Third Limit. As for the matters after the Third Limit, they were actually unrelated to him, but he was still willing to guide him, for which he was sincerely grateful.
Cao Guixi smiled and said, "The road ahead is difficult, and it will be difficult for me to guide you in cultivation matters. You have to walk it yourself. However, I am a few years older than you, so I can still give you some advice. You can come and ask me if you have any questions."
Chen Chuan thanked him again. Then, the two no longer discussed these matters, but just drank tea, admired the scenery, and talked about the layout of the Central City. In the evening, Chen Chuan bid farewell and left.
After Chen Chuan was sent away, Uncle Ding turned back and said, "The young master's vision is really good. Young Master Chen is only eighteen years old and has already achieved the Third Limit. He was able to kill a fierce bandit like Wei Wusheng as soon as he came up. Perhaps he will be able to fulfill the young master's unfinished wish in the future."
Cao Guixi shook his head, "He has his own path, and my path is over. There is no need to force others to walk it for me. I am willing to help, firstly because of a rare fate, and secondly because Young Master Chen's character and temperament are not bad and worth supporting."
He sipped his tea slowly and said seemingly casually, "Uncle Ding, remember, don't mention anything related to me in front of him in the future."
Uncle Ding bowed deeply and said, "Yes, young master, I will remember."
After Chen Chuan came out of Mo Tie Mountain, he did not rush back, but slowly drove the Gadd car on the road, looking at the scenery on both sides.
After entering the academy, he had been seizing the time to train. Now that he had entered the Third Limit, he didn't need to be so tense anymore. It was rare to be able to relax.
Thinking that it was now the holiday season, he was still in the academy because of cultivation. Now that everything that could be resolved had been resolved, he could go home.
The newest novel is first published on Liиgqiushuwu.
Thinking of this, he prepared to return to Yangzhi in the next two days.
He thought again and sent a voice message to Wu Bei, Lao Qi, and some acquaintances, informing them that he might be leaving the Central City for a period of time in the next two days, and that they could contact him by telegram if they had anything to do.
After returning to the Xuan Palace Building, he first changed some water and food for Chao Ming, watching the little thing eating happily. Thinking that since he was going back, it was not appropriate to leave this little thing here, he might as well take it back together.
After returning to the sofa and sitting down, he took out the list of medicines that Cao Guixi had given him, looked at it a few times, and thought about it, and took out a copy of the list that he had previously copied to compare it.
This list was a list of medicines left by Teacher Wu and You Xing.
As Third Limit fighters, both of them had hidden some Third Limit medicines.
Especially You Xing, there were indeed many medicines in the storage room. Most of those that Cao Guixi had marked could be found on it, and according to the amount left, even if he used them every day, it would be more than enough to support him for a month or two, so it was just right to wait for him to come back from home before considering this matter specifically.
After all, he was still a reserve enforcer of the Processing Bureau, and he had to tell the bureau before going home for at least a month.
But he could talk about it tomorrow. He didn't want to do anything today, so he got up and put away the list, returned to the sofa, and opened the Edge Channel.
At this moment, in the Principal Assistant's office on the top floor of the Xuan Palace Building, the light screen was replaying the scene of Chen Chuan's battle with Wei Wusheng.
After a few minutes, the final picture froze on the moment when Chen Chuan stood in front of Wei Wusheng's fallen body.
Assistant Ling put one hand on the back of the sofa and one foot on the other leg, his eyes full of appreciation. In his judgment, Chen Chuan should not have entered the Third Limit for long, at most no more than two months, and at least only a few days.
Judging from the previous entry and exit records, Chen Chuan had spent most of his time in the dormitory in the past two months and had not gone out. He had only watched the arena match these two days, so he was likely accumulating strength before breaking through the limit these days.
But even though he had only entered this limit for a short time, he still had the strength to defeat Wei Wusheng. This kind of talent is rare even in the Third Limit, and the future growth potential is immeasurable.
At this time, another person's voice sounded in the Realm Device: "Now that it is confirmed that he is a Third Limit fighter, what are you going to do? Are you going to tell him clearly now?"
Assistant Ling smiled and said, "Don't worry, we will find him after he knows the specific situation. He may not be able to accept what we say now. We can wait slowly."
