After hearing Huangpu Wudi's words, Qin Feng looked down and saw that Qin Bing was indeed sweating on his forehead and was absorbing and refining the spiritual energy in the pool with all his strength. He did not hear the conversation between himself and Huangpu Wudi at all.
This pool has accumulated at least hundreds of years of spiritual energy, which is not easy to refine. During the few hours that Qin Feng meditated, Qin Bing only made the spiritual energy above the spiritual pool where he was slightly thinner.
"With his level of cultivation, nothing will happen if he practices here."
Huangpu Wudi continued to walk forward. In fact, Qin Bing could use the spiritual energy pool of the Huajin Warrior, but how could Huangpu Wudi waste that precious opportunity on a member of the Qin family? Even if Qin Bing was the patriarch of the clan,
no.
"Zhang Hu is here..." After walking about ten meters further, Huangpu Wudi stopped. In front of him, Qin Dongyuan was looking at a pool below.
"Qin Feng, if you don't go down to practice, why are you coming back?",
Qin Dongyuan raised his head and looked at Qin Feng, with an unhappy look on his face, because he knew in his heart that the deepest pools here would still promote his cultivation.
But with Huangpu Wudi here, Qin Dongyuan also knows that he can't think about those pools. It is impossible to say that he has no regrets in his heart.
"You brat, why are you talking to the Lord?"
Huangpu Wudi glared at him and said angrily: "If you were thirty years younger, I would definitely give you a pool used by the royal family. Who can you blame if you don't live up to your expectations?"
Huangpu Wudi has watched Qin Dongyuan grow up, so he naturally knows his age. Like himself, Qin Dongyuan has been practicing for over eighty years now, and it would be a waste to use the spirit pool again.
"What does this have to do with age?" When Qin Feng and Huangpu Wudi had a conversation before, Huangpu Wudi blocked the surrounding space fluctuations, so Qin Dongyuan did not hear what the two of them just said.
"Your energy and blood can only be locked in your body, and it won't be a problem to keep it for another thirty or forty years."
Huangpu Wudi looked at Qin Dongyuan with his eyes and said: "But if you want to use this to break through, your energy and blood are not enough. Using the spirit pool will be harmful to you rather than helpful..."
"Are you telling the truth?"
Qin Dongyuan had read Taoist classics extensively and had a deep understanding of Taoist cultivation. Naturally, he could tell whether Huangpu Wudi's words were true or false, and he couldn't help but show a somewhat desolate look on his face.
Qin Dongyuan has lived for such a long time, and his cultivation is as high as the top of the pyramid in this space. The glory and wealth in the world have long been seen as passing by, and all he wants is to break through the realm, hoping to see another world.
.
But Huangpu Wudi's words ruthlessly shattered his fantasy, and Qin Dongyuan finally understood that he was afraid that he would never have the chance to break through and advance again.
"I will teach you a technique later. If you practice hard, you can still break through to my current state." Seeing Qin Dongyuan's disappointed look, Huangpu Wudi said coldly.
After meeting Qin Feng and knowing that the prince who escaped back then had passed on the royal bloodline, Huangpu Wubi's resentment towards the Qin family could not help but lighten a bit. If it had been in the past, he would never have said these words.
.
"Then it's still the realm of strength after all!" Qin Dongyuan laughed bitterly upon hearing this.
"What's the matter? Do you really want to become a land god?" Huangpu Wudi snorted coldly and said: "How many people in the past and present have reached the realm of refining gods and countering virtual reality? Just be satisfied..."
In Taoist classics, the only people who have reached that level are those legendary figures, such as Guangchengzi, Ge Xuan, Chen Tuan and others.
In modern times, there is such a legend, that is, in the late Yuan and early Ming dynasties, it was rumored that Zhang Sanfeng stepped into the void, but no one could provide evidence to prove that Zhang Sanfeng reached that state.
"That's true."
Hearing Huangpu Wudi's words, Qin Dongyuan couldn't help but look better. There have been countless people with better talent than him throughout the ages, but there are very few people who can achieve his level of cultivation.
"Elder Huangpu, you...come and see, what happened to Zhang Hu?" While Huangpu Wudi was talking to Qin Dongyuan, Qin Feng had been observing Zhang Hu who was soaked in the spiritual energy pool.
Just now, Qin Feng suddenly noticed that Zhang Hu's body was shaking violently. Beads of sweat oozed from his forehead, and the expression on his face was extremely painful.
This made Qin Feng's heart tighten. Although his own cultivation level was very high, to be honest, his skill was inexplicable. However, he was far less knowledgeable about many issues in cultivation than Huangpu Wudi and Qin Dongyuan.
"Huh? The vitality is injected into the body..." After hearing Qin Feng's call, Huangpu Wudi ignored the argument with Qin Dongyuan and quickly looked at Zhang Hu in the spiritual energy pool.
"My lord, this is the spiritual energy in the pool washing away his meridians. Just endure this period and you'll be fine."
Huangpu Wubi knew this spiritual energy pool far better than Qin Feng. He immediately shouted to Zhang Hu in the pool: "Gather your energy and essence, hold your essence and guard one, don't act rashly..."
Huangpu Wudi's voice contained a trace of true energy, which was clearly transmitted to Zhang Hu's ears. Zhang Hu, who originally had a look of panic on his face, immediately stabilized.
Although the pain was still there, Zhang Hu clenched his teeth and endured the "bobo" energy shock that did not belong to him. Unknowingly, his body was also undergoing subtle changes.
Originally, true essence could only be produced when one cultivated to the point of transforming into energy. At this moment, he was equivalent to a warrior transforming into energy, exerting all his strength to cleanse Zhang Hu's tendons and cut his marrow.
There are naturally dangers in this process, that is, the strength of the meridians cannot support the baptism of pure vitality, but as long as Zhang Hu can survive it, the benefits will naturally be huge.
"He is a good seedling. It seems that he has suffered a lot in the past..."
Seeing Zhang Hu's performance, Huangpu Wudi nodded with satisfaction. In the past, there were many children in the royal family who wanted to cleanse their muscles and cut their marrow when they were young, but few could endure the pain and ended up with a broken bone.
consequences of injury.
"Hey, there's no water stains at all in this pool."
Seeing that Zhang Hu was fine, Qin Feng was relieved and reached out to touch the pool, only to find that the liquid-looking things inside were actually filled with traces of spiritual energy.
"Sir, this pool is close to the periphery, so there will be no phenomenon of spiritual energy turning into liquid." Seeing Qin Feng's actions, Huangpu Wudi laughed. If it was really that kind of spiritual pool, Zhang Hu would probably explode if he went in.
Dead body.
"You mean, the liquid in the spiritual pool inside is real?" Qin Feng stood up and asked.
"Yes, those spiritual energies have all become substantial, and are even more pure than the true essence. Otherwise, how could it have any effect on a warrior at the peak of his energy?"
Huangpu Wudi nodded and said: "Looking back, my lord, when you refine those spiritual energy, you must not be greedy for merit, but do it step by step..."
"I understand, thank you Elder Huangpu for reminding me."
Qin Feng felt a little awe-inspiring in his heart. Although the true energy in his body was thick, it was still gas. Before entering the spiritual energy pool, Qin Feng really couldn't imagine what the spiritual energy turned into liquid would look like.
"By the way, Elder Huangpu, haven't you been here before?"
Qin Feng suddenly remembered something in his mind, turned around and asked: "Since you have been here before, why didn't you know the underwater road when the royal city was destroyed?"
"Lord, I have indeed been here. But I was blindfolded and brought down."
Hearing Qin Feng's questioning words, Huangpu Wudi smiled bitterly and said: "This is the most secret place of the royal family. No one can come here except King Wu who has protected the emperors for generations..."
Among the royal family, only the emperor and his most trusted King Wu knew the existence of this underground palace. Huangpu Wudi was also the one who gave the topographic map to him when King Wu was dying.
"So that's what happened?" Qin Feng nodded after hearing this.
Thinking about it, with the complex underwater terrain, even if Qin Feng stared from the beginning to the end with his eyes wide open, let alone blindfolded, if he were allowed to walk aside, Qin Feng would probably still get lost in the water.
"Let's go. Let's see what's going on over there at Jinxuan." Seeing Zhang Hu's expression gradually calmed down, Qin Feng knew that he had managed to survive, and he immediately felt relieved.
"My lord!"
Qin Feng walked to the outermost pool, and Huangpu Hao quickly came up and bowed. He said: "The disciple accepted by the Lord has excellent qualifications. The initial vitality infusion has passed..."
"What? Jinxuan received vitality infusion earlier than her brother?" Qin Feng was stunned when he heard this. You must know that Jinxuan has not even reached Mingjin, and her cultivation level is much worse than Zhang Hu's.
"This girl is not simple. She held on for more than three hours without crying out in pain."
Huangpu Hao showed a look of admiration on his face and said: "Although the vitality in the periphery is relatively thin, it is not something that just anyone can bear. The master has good eyesight and has taken on a good disciple..."
Huangpu Gang has been guarding here all the time. At first, when Jinxuan was in great pain, he wanted to help several times, but in the end it was Jinxuan who managed to survive on her own.
Jinxuan's meridians have been baptized by the true energy before they have been expanded by the true energy. She will receive more benefits than Zhang Hu in the future, and her practice will be more effective with half the effort.
"Huh? This girl fell asleep, not passed out?"
Qin Feng knelt down beside the spiritual pool and found that Jinxuan's little head was leaning against the edge of the pool and had fallen asleep. There seemed to be tears on her cheeks. She was afraid that the pain she had just endured was not light.
"My lord, she didn't faint. She fell asleep after spending the initial injection of true energy."
Huangpu Hao explained, saying: "I don't know what kind of technique this girl practices, but it is somewhat consistent with the true energy. Otherwise, the suffering will be even greater..."
Speaking of this, Huangpu Hao suddenly remembered that Jin Xuan was Qin Feng's disciple, and said quickly: "Your Majesty, I didn't mean to inquire about your skills, I'm just a little curious..."
"fine."
Qin Feng waved his hand and said: "What I practice is Taoist Kung Fu. It should be inherited from Zhang Sanfeng in the late Yuan Dynasty, but it's not necessarily true. There is no way to verify it now..."
"Zhang Sanfeng?"
When Huangpu Wudi heard this name, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, took over Qin Feng's topic, and said: "Your Majesty, Zhang Sanfeng has been here before, and there are records about him in the royal family..."
"Huh? How was it recorded?" Qin Feng heard Qin Bing mention Zhang Sanfeng before, but he didn't know much about it, and he didn't know Zhang Sanfeng's final whereabouts.
"Zhang Sanfeng came from the outside world during the Ming Dynasty. His cultivation reached the sky, and he defeated eleven powerful warriors from the royal family in a row..."
Huangpu Wudi made an astonishing statement, "Later, the emperor of that dynasty wanted to ask him to serve as a priest in the palace, but he refused. Later, I heard that he was planning to break into the Three Realms Mountains and wanted to use force to defeat the law and break out of this place.
space……"
"What happened next?"
Qin Feng's eyes lit up and he asked. He had climbed to the sky-high peak of the Three Realms Mountains and knew that the barrier there was difficult to break with force.
"There was no news after that."
Huangpu Wudi shook his head and said: "Some people say that Zhang Sanfeng died in the Three Realms Mountains, while others say that he shattered the void, broke the shackles of this place, and went to another place. But no one knows how.
Already..."
"He didn't die in the Three Realms Mountain. Maybe he really broke the barrier in the Three Realms Mountain and left here..."
Qin Feng said quietly that although he didn't know how high Zhang Sanfeng's cultivation level was, he and Qin Dongyuan could reach the top of the mountain. Zhang Sanfeng could naturally reach there too.
"My lord, have you been to that place?"
Hearing Qin Feng's words, Huangpu Wudi couldn't help but turn his attention to him. According to the royal family's records, many seniors had been to the top of the Three Realms Mountain, but none of them could break the barrier there.
Back then, members of the royal family explored the Three Realms Mountains. Naturally, they were not looking for a way out. They just wanted to break their own shackles and improve their cultivation through this behavior.
"I've been there before. I went with Elder Dongyuan."
Qin Feng nodded and said: "There is a transparent barrier at the top of the mountain. Elder Dongyuan and I cannot break it. But if we really reach the realm of refining gods and backwashing, there may be hope to break it...
"
Thinking of the situation on the top of the mountain, Qin Feng had a wry smile on his face, and climbed up after all the hardships, but he did not expect that the barrier was like a cage, blocking him out.
"My lord, with your level of cultivation, can you two climb up?"
Huangpu Wudi didn't believe it. According to the records left in the palace, the people who could reach the Jedi level were at least similar to him in cultivation level. That is, they were at the peak of Huajin.
"I got a gourd of monkey wine that contains spiritual energy, and I relied on that to go up." Qin Feng didn't hide anything, and told the story of how he and Qin Dongyuan climbed to the top of the mountain.
"Then it is really possible for Zhang Sanfeng to leave through there." Huangpu Wudi believed Qin Feng's words this time, because Qin Feng's account was much more detailed than what the palace records said.
"Except for the man named Zhang Sanfeng, no one in the royal family can leave through there."
A look of yearning appeared on Huangpu Wudi's face, and he used force to break the void. What kind of state would he reach? Even Huangpu Wudi's current level of cultivation is unimaginable.
"Although what you see there is the outside world, when you go out from there, it may not necessarily be the outside world..."
An idea suddenly came to Qin Feng's mind. Could it be that this space is a two-dimensional or even three-dimensional or multi-dimensional space that is balanced with the earth?
Qin Feng knew that "dimension" is a measure, such as a geometric plane, which is two dimensions.
Length, width, and height constitute "three-dimensional space". On the three-dimensional space coordinates, plus time, space and time are interconnected, forming a four-dimensional space continuous area.
When you reach the fourth-dimensional space, it is a dynamic space, where you can have the same environment and even time as the earth.
Going further, multi-dimensionality is the space formed by multiple straight lines perpendicular to each other. Human intelligence can observe three-dimensional space with the naked eye, but cannot see or feel the existence of multi-dimensional space.
When Qin Feng thought about it, his whole body sank in. He stood there in silence for a while. For the first time, he felt that the principle of the existence of this space could be explained by using Kexu.
It's just that Qin Feng doesn't have much exposure to this kind of knowledge. After thinking for a long time, he didn't come up with a clear clue. He just had a vague direction.
"My lord, my lord, what's wrong with you?" Seeing that Qin Feng was speechless and didn't look like he had an epiphany, Huangpu Wudi quickly shouted a few times in Qin Feng's ear.
"Ah? I'm fine..."
After being awakened by Huangpu Wudi, Qin Feng shook his head. He didn't know much about natural science and couldn't explain it in words.
"Why are you thinking so much? As long as you can go out."
Qin Feng muttered in his heart that he was only a restoration expert at best, not a scientist, so there was no point in figuring out the principles of this place.
Putting aside the thoughts that had just occurred in his mind, Qin Feng asked: "Elder Huangpu, how long will it take for them to absorb this spiritual energy?"
"As little as seven days, as long as half a month." Huangpu Wudi said: "It depends on the extent of the transformation of their bodies by the spiritual energy. If they accept it quickly, the time will be shorter accordingly."
"But Qin Bing and Zhang Hu are different..."
Huangpu Wudi pointed at Qin Bing who was a little further away, and said: "He is refining this energy and turning it into his own true energy. He wants to refine all the energy in that pool, and maybe he will use it."
A month or even longer..."
"Can you survive without food for such a long time?" Qin Feng asked with some worry. Zhang Hu and Jinxuan are still children after all. I'm afraid they won't be able to support their bodies just by nourishing their bodies with this spiritual energy.
"Who says you can't eat or drink?"
Huangpu Wudi smiled when he heard this and said: "My lord, when they get used to the aura in the pool, they can stop for a short time at any time. They don't have to stay in the pool all the time, but they can't come up for too long..."
"Okay, then I'm relieved."
Qin Feng looked deep into the cave and said, "I am going to go down to the pool to practice. Zhang Hu and Jinxuan asked Elder Huangpu to take care of them..."
How could Qin Feng give up such an opportunity? Even if he could not advance to the next level, it would be an unexpected surprise for Qin Feng to be able to break through to the peak of power.
