Chapter 162 The Age of Qi Refining
In the underworld, under his control, the spiritual power is like a glowing paintbrush, constantly sketching.
Many lines converge to form a slightly blurry blade.
This is the method of condensing spiritual power that he learned from Liu Dingsheng.
The process of using mental power to outline things is the process of condensing the spirit.
The principle is not complicated, it is simply consume, use, restore, and consume again.
Each consumption will gradually increase the intensity of mental power.
And every time you use it, you will naturally condense your spiritual power.
Repeating this cycle is the simplest and crudest way to improve mental power.
And it is said that in the hands of those hidden sects or some martial arts masters, they also have some serious contemplation methods, which can more efficiently and effectively improve the spiritual power of warriors.
Of course, this kind of concept is as precious as martial arts, and even Liu Dingsheng has no way to obtain it.
What Song Changming was sketching was his dragon pattern sword, but every time he sketched half of the blade, his mental power was not enough.
He also had to stop and rest before he was completely exhausted.
"Huh." Song Changming relaxed his mind and exited from the meditative state, and the half of the blade in the sea of darkness instantly disappeared without a trace.
“It seems to have improved a bit”
I sketched day by day, from the beginning I could only sketch a small section of the blade, to now half of the blade.
The progress here is still obvious.
Today, as usual, Song Changming tried to study martial arts again.
Suddenly, he just felt a flash of inspiration, and it was different from the past.
Looking through the annotations on the martial art scriptures in the secret book, he seemed to have gained a lot of insights at once.
He immediately opened the panel and took a look, and sure enough, the martial art he had been thinking about for a long time was listed.
[Ninth-grade Wind Dragon Divine Sword Technique: Not yet started (0/1000)]
Although he is still in an inexperienced state, the experience bar is displayed, which means that he can finally gain experience!
"Wind Dragon Divine Sword Technique!" Song Changming was in high spirits. He had been waiting for this moment for a long time.
For ordinary martial artists, they may have to wait until the underworld is opened and their mental power is strong enough to be refined before they can master this kind of martial art step by step.
But Song Changming is different. As long as the experience bar is displayed, he can practice martial arts!
There is no longer a sequential relationship between practicing martial arts and improving mental strength. He can do it simultaneously.
The sooner he gains experience, the sooner he can master martial arts!
As a result, the focus of his daily martial arts training will also change slightly.
A more profound power system such as Wu Jue will naturally become the focus of his future experience, occupying the most of his energy and time.
And just as he was delving into more advanced martial arts, the group behind Gu Wenhui in Nanyang knew about the appearance of dragons in Donglai County, and decided to make a big fuss about it.
The dragon was called a true dragon in their mouths.
The true dragon came to the world in the territory ruled by Gu Wenhui, which proved from the side that Gu Wenhui was the man of destiny in this world, and he should obey the will of God and become king and emperor!
Gu Wenhui is very ambitious, and this step is also one of the preparations for his ambition, occupying the high ground of public opinion.
Even in ancient times, this kind of public opinion battle was equally important.
After all, only the person who is supported by the people can naturally become the final winner and sit in the highest position, making people convinced.
Otherwise, those who do not accept the crowd and insist on taking the throne of God will only be overthrown again in the end.
And such publicity can also make more people understand his deeds and take refuge in him, which will strengthen his momentum.
The effect is not small.
But being so public can easily attract hatred.
Today, the world is still in a state of fragmentation, with large and small forces claiming to be kings and hegemons everywhere.
Seeing that you are developing well, I will try to stumbling upon you.
As a result, the war in the south, which had just subsided for a short period of time, began to break out again.
Winter turns to spring, and half a year has passed.
On this day, in the courtyard.
Song Ping'an was practicing the Light Body Kung Fu on the iron pile in the corner of the courtyard, concentrating on it.
Song Changming was sitting cross-legged alone. In the dark sea, a complete dragon-patterned knife shimmered and floated next to his spiritual body.
There is no blur in the dragon pattern knife. Even the two dragon patterns on it are clearly visible and exquisite.
After a while, Song Changming exhaled and ended his meditation.
The dragon pattern knife in the sea of underworld also dispersed.
Song Changming took a sip of tea, then grabbed the black wooden knife on the table beside him and swung it towards the iron stakes in the corner of the yard.
The next moment, a wave of familiar ripples rippled from his black wooden sword, followed by the boundless sword wind, sweeping over.
The ripples hit the iron piles, and there was a continuous rumbling sound. The surface of the iron piles was constantly dented and deformed. Under the violent shock, Song Pingan, who was above, stepped on the air and was about to fall down.
However, it was then swept away by the strong wind, and was blown higher to a higher place, flying into the alley outside the courtyard wall.
"Almost!" Song Changming nodded secretly.
This ripple was exactly the same as the martial arts technique used by Li Pho when he fought with his opponent's mental power.
[Ninth-grade Wind Dragon Divine Sword Technique: Getting Started (850/6000)]
Now more than half a year has passed, and he has successfully mastered the only martial art at hand.
Therefore, he can also use his mental power to activate martial arts and wield his sword.
Although it is not an authentic sword energy, its power cannot be underestimated. He has not used all his strength just now, but it is more than enough as a trump card.
He could feel how difficult this sword technique was to understand and practice.
But after half a year of practice, the speed of progress was much better than he expected.
And all of this is due to the transformation brought about by the dragon ball.
He was unable to do anything at the beginning because his innate qualification attributes were too low, which made him unable to start training.
After swallowing the Dragon Ball, his innate aptitudes and attributes increased exponentially, which put his martial arts training on the right track.
In more than half a year, the progress has been quite fast, and he has not encountered any difficulties. As early as two months ago, he had successfully mastered this sword technique.
"With my current mental strength, I should be able to refine my Qi." Song Changming put away his wooden sword and thought.
In fact, he had tried to refine Qi more than once before.
However, he could clearly feel that he was not strong enough, and his mental strength was not strong enough to support him to complete a round of Qi refining, so they all ended in failure.
Only now, after his mental power has been further enhanced, has he gained some confidence.
After returning to his room to take a nap and rest for a while, Song Changming immediately began to practice Qi after his energy was fully replenished.
The process of refining Qi is similar for every martial artist. There is no special training method, unlike body refining which has specific directions.
Refining Qi is a cookie-cutter process in which one breath is introduced into the body and refined into internal Qi, which accumulates and grows stronger day by day.
There are also some notes on Qi refining in his martial arts, but they are not detailed.
Fortunately, the breathing methods required for qi refining are not scarce. Unlike martial arts, no one will pass on ordinary qi refining methods as a private inheritance.
Therefore, Song Changming spent thirty gold coins and entrusted Liu Dingsheng to purchase a Qi Refining Technique from a Qi Refining Master.
The operation of the Qi Refining Method itself is not very difficult.
What is really difficult is that the processes of collecting qi, moving qi, refining qi, and accumulating qi require continuous consumption of mental energy to operate.
If the mental strength is not strong enough, it will not be able to withstand the consumption of Qi refining, and it will fall short in this process.
He had been like this after several previous failures.
By the time Song Ping'an came back from outside the courtyard wall, Song Changming had already returned to the room and started trying to refine Qi again.
His breathing began to change regularly, and at the same time, the spiritual power in the underworld was mobilized by him, sinking into his body, and guiding the breath into his body in conjunction with the rhythm of his breathing.
The Qi circulates, travels around the sky, and finally uses the spiritual power to refine the natural Qi in the body.
He had failed in the refining process more than twice before.
Therefore, he was a little anxious this time, until finally a trace of refined inner energy took shape in his body and was captured by his mental power.
The anxiety in my heart was swept away, the dark clouds cleared, and I felt great!
Done!
Although it was not much, just a trace of inner energy, a successful start meant that the most difficult first step had been successfully taken by him.
Then there is Yun Qi.
The refined inner energy was initially unstable and easily dissipated. He also needed to consolidate it with his mental power so that this inner energy could remain in the body permanently, as if it were branded.
This complete round of Qi refining did not end until all the mental energy was almost exhausted and the brain was groggy.
Looking inside again with mental power, one can clearly find that a trace of inner energy has been integrated into the flesh and blood of his body.
When he has an idea, he can mobilize it to appear.
"Great!"
Song Changming looked quite tired, but his heart was full of joy.
After today, his martial arts has officially entered a new stage!
The age of refining energy!
In this remote Donglai County, he believed that there must be masters of qi refining, but they were definitely not many, and they might not even be able to count them with two hands.
At this stage, most of the Qi-refining warriors are immersed in their own pursuit of martial arts and hide in the city. In the eyes of the general public, few of them show their faces.
Therefore, Qi refining masters are generally relatively mysterious. Even due to the application of inner Qi, the appearance looks too mysterious. Occasionally, the person who makes the move is glimpsed, which is enough to leave a great rumor in the market.
