Zheng Chen recognized that small khaki dagger. It was his master Ge Shan's natal flying sword. It was only a second-level magic weapon. If we were to look at the grade alone, it was similar to the Spirit Gathering Pill.
However, Geshan's flying sword has an earth attribute and cannot be used by Zheng Chen. Everyone among Fuyun Peak's disciples knows that Geshan has an earth-based flying sword, so the peak master did not keep it.
Several bottles of pills are all of first-level quality. Although they have no effect on monks above the spirit-gathering stage, they are extremely precious to monks in the essence-receiving stage and acupoint-charging stage. In the past, Geshan would give them to Zheng Chen from time to time.
A few pills of this kind are mainly used to strengthen the body and nourish the body, but they do not have much effect on improving one's power.
Looking at the palm-sized stone again, Zheng Chen couldn't help but get excited. If his prediction was correct, this stone was undoubtedly the spiritual stone. Although it was definitely not of high grade, the spiritual power in it was not suitable for those who were only at the essence level.
As far as Zheng Chen is concerned, it is also very huge.
However, although the spiritual power in the spirit stone is abundant, it is not pure. Absorption requires not only refining, but also strong tendons. Otherwise, once the violent spiritual power enters the body, not only the tendons may be exploded, but also the muscles and veins must be strong.
If you are not careful, you may even lose your life.
Only monks in the Spirit Gathering Stage, who can quickly refine and absorb the spiritual power in the spiritual stone by virtue of the spiritual energy in their Dantian, dare to directly absorb the spiritual power in the spiritual stone to improve their skills. Of course, this is also limited.
With his cultivation in the spirit gathering stage, he only dares to absorb the spiritual power from low-grade spiritual stones.
Zheng Chen has practiced to the late stage of acupuncture three times. The toughness of his veins is far beyond that of ordinary monks below the Soul Gathering Stage. If we really want to compare, the toughness of his muscles is comparable to that of monks in the Soul Gathering Stage. After all,
He has a fire attribute along his veins.
In other words, if this stone is really a low-grade spiritual stone, Zheng Chen can directly absorb the spiritual power in it.
Zheng Chen had never seen a spirit stone, so naturally he couldn't distinguish the levels, so he ran to consult the old man guarding the tomb. The old man guarding the tomb was definitely not a simple person, and he was also a senior who watched Zheng Chen grow up. Zheng Chen was not worried that he would
He coveted his own spiritual stone. This was also the case. The old man guarding the tomb did not have any idea about Zheng Chen's spiritual stone. He just told Zheng Chen that it was indeed a low-grade spiritual stone. If he absorbed all the spiritual power in it, he could make people
Zheng Chen directly reached the middle stage of acupuncture.
Moreover, the old man guarding the tomb also told Zheng Chen some methods and precautions for absorbing the spiritual power in the spirit stones, which saved Zheng Chen some trouble and risks.
After thanking the old man guarding the tomb, Zheng Chen returned to his stone room.
After practicing quietly and calmly for three days, Zheng Chen finally opened his eyes when his whole body was in the best condition. When his mind moved, a jade bottle appeared in his hand.
In the jade bottle, there are two small green pills, which are Peiyuan Pills that can be refined by monks in the Soul Gathering Stage. They are mainly used to nourish the physical body and have good curative effects on minor injuries.
Although Zheng Chen was not injured at this time, the old man guarding the tomb told Zheng Chen that before absorbing the spiritual power of the spirit stone, taking a Peiyuan Pill can cover the surface of the tendons with a thin protective film, which can not only protect the tendons
The pulse can also speed up the absorption of spiritual energy.
After the power of the Peiyuan Pill was completely dissipated in the body, Zheng Chen walked around the body with his mind, and then nodded with satisfaction. He had also taken the Peiyuan Pill before, so he naturally knew when its potency was at its highest.
Putting the jade bottle containing a Peiyuan Pill into the storage bag, Zheng Chen took out the palm-sized piece of low-grade spirit stone, took a deep breath, and pressed it with both palms at the same time.
After running the Red Flame Technique, Zheng Chen's body was filled with red light again, and he entered the state of cultivation. Using the method taught by the old man guarding the tomb, Zheng Chen added suction to his palm, and immediately a stream of spiritual power penetrated into his palm.
Follow the tendons on the arm and enter his meridians.
Directly absorbing the spiritual power in the spirit stone, Zheng Chen's first feeling was that the spiritual power was really difficult to control. Although it was flowing along the meridians, it was not docile and would tear the tendons from time to time. If not,
The film formed by the power of the Peiyuan Pill had not been for Zheng Chen's relatively solid foundation, and he would have been seriously injured as soon as the spiritual power entered his body.
However, even so, Zheng Chen was not at ease. Although he was in the Soul Gathering Stage, his cultivation was only in the Najing Stage. Originally, the Shunmai had been completely opened, but after his third Soul Gathering failure,
The acupuncture points in those tendons were blocked again.
Zheng Chen needs to open the blocked acupuncture points again. However, the difficulty is definitely much weaker than when he opened the acupuncture points for the first time. When the fierce spiritual power gathers enough in a section of veins, he can
It will attack the blocked acupoints like a flood, just like a flood hitting a dam.
Zheng Chen is very familiar with opening acupuncture points. After all, he has had three experiences. However, this time is different. In the past, he used the refined spiritual power accumulated in his body, but this time the spiritual power was not at all
It is not something that a monk like him who only has the cultivation level of Najing can refine it in a short time. When the spiritual energy entering the body accumulates to a certain extent, it will automatically attack the acupoints that block their way. Of course, ordinary monks will never dare to
In this way, Zheng Chen dared to do this because he had a solid foundation, but the sound of the spiritual power violently hitting the acupuncture points frightened him. He had not expected before that the spiritual power in the spirit stone would be so difficult to mobilize, and it would
So spiritual.
After practicing for less than an hour, the violent spiritual power was so powerful that he directly opened three acupoints. If he continues at this speed, it would only take a few days before he could clear all the acupoints along the meridians.
Open up and enter the acupuncture period.
However, Zheng Chen did not dare to continue singing like this. When one-third of the acupuncture points in the meridian were opened, that is, two days later, he woke up from his cultivation state.
Although his realm is very stable, he does not dare to make a big leap from the middle stage of absorbing essence to the stage of acupuncture.
After opening up all the acupuncture points in the Shunmai, Zheng Chen waited for the late stage of acupoint flushing. However, because he had fallen too far in his previous cultivation, at least this time he was not solid enough in the cultivation of the essence, and he was also unable to do it.
You don't dare to leave too much spiritual power in your body that has not been refined, so it is wiser to stop.
After two days of continuous absorption, the palm-sized piece of low-grade spiritual stone seemed to have not changed at all, except that its color had dimmed a little, and it was hard to detect without looking carefully.
For the next whole month, Zheng Chen continued to refine the spiritual power in his body. Since the power of the Peiyuan Pill had long since disappeared, he could only rely on the toughness of his muscles and his own far superior perseverance to persevere.
Although pain is unavoidable, he is quite relieved to feel that his spiritual power is getting stronger and stronger as his spiritual power is refined.
After refining the absorbed spiritual power, Zheng Chen's skills have basically been restored, and his strength should have reached the early stage of acupoint charging. The stage of absorbing essence is originally a stage in which he is in harmony with the external spiritual power. Zheng Chen is very experienced. In the past, it was just because he could only rely on
Constantly absorbing the spiritual energy from the outside world to practice, it takes a long time to gather enough skills to open the acupuncture points. After having the spirit stone, naturally there is no need for such trouble, and the time is shortened by many times.
He didn't go out for a walk, not because he wanted to keep a low profile, but because he wanted to practice hard. After all, time waits for no one. After all, he still had to open a reverse channel. Zheng Chen was very good at opening the shunt channel, but he didn't open the reverse channel.
He had only a little experience, but when he thought about how difficult it was to open the upright meridians for the first time, he had reason to believe that opening up the reverse meridians would definitely not be as easy as opening the upright meridians for the first time, and would probably be even more difficult.
After resting for a few days, Zheng Chen entered the cultivation state again, and the second Peiyuan Pill entered his belly and began to emit medicinal power, forming a protective barrier in his tendons.
Since the strength has returned to the early stage of acupoint charging, and a third of the acupoints have been opened, the absorption of spiritual power from spiritual stones has accelerated a lot this time, and the impact of spiritual power on the muscles and veins has also become much stronger.
However, after Zheng Chen had an experience of absorbing spiritual power, he seemed very calm. With the cooperation of the exercises, he could sit still for three days.
Three days later, only one-third of the acupuncture points along the meridians were left unopened, and Zheng Chen was considered to be in the middle stage of acupoint flushing.
The power of the Peiyuan Pill has disappeared. Zheng Chen does not dare to absorb it unscrupulously. Moreover, he still needs to refine the spiritual power absorbed in the past three days and turn it into the fire attribute energy needed for the Red Flame Art.
It still took another month for Zheng Chen to completely refine the spiritual power in his body.
He didn't stop. Even with the help of spirit stones, it still took him more than two months to reach the middle stage of acupuncture. At this time, summer had quietly entered, and he would be seventeen in four months.
But there is still a reverse vein that needs to be penetrated, and the practice of the wood-attribute skills of the reverse vein must also reach the late stage of acupuncture. In order to advance to the spirit gathering stage, it will definitely take a long time. What Zheng Chen lacks most now is time.
.
Although there is no Peiyuan Pill available, Zheng Chen believes that he can survive without taking the pill. After all, it only takes two or three days.
There was no pause for too long. When Zheng Chen entered the optimal cultivation state again, he was also absorbing spiritual power at the same time.
Since two-thirds of the tendons have been opened, the absorption of spiritual energy has been accelerated a lot, and the amount of spiritual energy that can be accommodated in the tendons has also increased.
But Zheng Chen still underestimated the violent spiritual power. Without the help of the Peiyuan Pill, the muscles and veins lacked the protective film. When the muscles and veins were all filled with spiritual power, and the spiritual power hit the acupoints crazily.
, the tendons kept bulging, and gradually felt like they were being torn apart.
Those unrefined spiritual powers were like sharp swords, hitting Zheng Chen's tendons and veins, making his whole body tremble and his face turned pale.
Zheng Chen knew that he had to persevere in one breath this time, otherwise the consequences would be very serious. If he fainted due to pain, the spiritual power in his body would be completely out of control and he would definitely die.
Fortunately, although the muscles and veins were stretched to the point of extreme pain, they were not broken. After all, Zheng Chen's foundation was very solid. The accumulation of three acupoint punches made his muscles and veins very strong.
Three days passed quietly, and Zheng Chen finally managed to persevere. All the acupuncture points in his muscles and veins were unobstructed, and his cultivation was restored to the late stage of acupoint flushing.
Three days of pain made Zheng Chen very tired. When he stopped absorbing spiritual power, he immediately fell asleep.
When Zheng Chen was sleeping soundly, his Red Flame Technique was also running, and the unobstructed veins were flowing with thick fire energy. Every time he circled, his veins would recover a little, and the solid skill allowed him to
His tendons, which were originally stretched out and appeared fragile, gradually became stronger and stronger.
After enduring the pain for several days, Zheng Chen undoubtedly got the benefits he deserved. Not only did his cultivation level return to the late stage of acupuncture, his muscles and veins also became wider and stronger, making his strength far beyond that of ordinary acupuncture.
Later fellow disciples.
The spiritual energy entering the body that originally needed to be refined immediately was automatically refined by the Red Flame Technique after the meridians were completely unblocked, and Zheng Chen no longer needed to actively control it. This is one of the special effects of advanced techniques.
