Chapter 6: Inner Acupoint Technique, Mysterious Power

"Mother, why doesn't father sleep with us?"

When he closed the door again, he saw little Caiwei propping up her arms, holding her chubby chin, her big watery eyes full of confusion and reluctance.

This question really touched Xia Zhixuan's heart.

She stammered, "I'll tell you about this when you grow up."

How could little Caiwei, who was only three years old, understand the logic behind this? She just looked up and pondered for a long time without an accurate answer. She pouted unhappily and said, "Does mother not like father?"

"This..." Xia Zhixuan was stumped again.

This is not a question of like or dislike. They are not husband and wife at all. Now that my late husband has passed away, even the seventh day has not passed. If I don't avoid being too cautious, I'm afraid I'll be criticized.

"I don't like my mother anymore." Little Caiwei crossed her arms and suddenly became angry.

"Why again?" Xia Zhixuan was surprised.

"Father Jingsheng usually loves Nannan very much. Whenever Nannan is unhappy, he tells her stories, plays games with her, and makes her happy. He is not like that father who always glares at Nannan and hits her on the palm of her hand."

Little Caiwei had a good reason. When she spoke deeply, her face turned red. "Since mother doesn't like father Jingsheng, then Nannan doesn't like you either."

Xia Zhixuan never expected that Xiao Jingsheng was so highly regarded in her daughter's mind that she would even get angry with her for him.

As for the other party saying that her ex-husband liked to glare, it was just that her late husband had always been strict in discipline and had high hopes for his young daughter, so he asked her to identify medicinal herbs every day since she was two years old. Over time, a stereotype was left on her.

However, because of the other party's words, Xia Zhixuan felt inexplicably relieved.

Her eyes moved around, as if testing her, and she asked with her red lips slightly opened: "Does Caiwei really like your father?"

Xiao Caiwei said seriously: "I like Father Jingsheng, not the big beard."

At this time, because Xia Zhixuan lied to her young daughter that her late husband had just fallen into a long sleep, little Caiwei did not know that this meant they would be separated by Yin and Yang for eternity, and would never see the bearded man she mentioned again.

Xia Zhixuan thought about how the Dan King had treated her well after all, so she said softly, "If you like your father Jingsheng, then mother will like him too. But you can't address another father by his taboo name in the future, as this is disrespectful."

At the end of the speech, a rare sternness appeared on the face of Xia Zhixuan, who was always gentle, which made Xiao Caiwei a little scared.

"Just listen to your mother, girl." Little Caiwei supported her clothes on her chest with her small hands, feeling a little aggrieved.

Xia Zhixuan then embraced him and said, "The situation of you and me is no longer the same as before. You just need to obey your father Jingsheng's instructions in the future and don't be as willful as before. Do you understand?"

"Yes, girl, I'll listen to you." When little Caiwei saw her mother's tone softening, she put her chubby little hands around her neck.

And just like that, little Caiwei, who originally didn't feel like sleeping, hugged her for a while, and immediately her eyelids began to droop, and after another ten breaths, she slowly fell asleep...

On the other hand, Xia Zhixuan's expression changed several times when she saw her daughter fall asleep. Finally, she stroked her beautiful face that had been maintained by the anti-aging elixir for many years, revealing a trace of worry: "The land of the immortals is not as gentle as the secular world. I don't know how many years I can survive in this land."

Because it was detected earlier that she did not have spiritual roots, Xia Zhixuan knew that one day she would grow old and would not be able to live as long as the immortals.

It was fine to have the Dan King's protection in the past, but now she suddenly has to rely on another man for her life and property. Her confused heart has never had a moment of peace.

…

Xia Zhixuan's sneak attack did create ripples in Xiao Jingsheng's heart. The more he thought about it, the more he regretted it.

Fortunately, there were still 5 points of favorability to comfort his soul. Xiao Jingsheng suppressed the restlessness in his body and came to the inner hall.

Long before his death, the Dan King had dispersed all irrelevant disciples in advance, and Xiao Jingsheng knew very well that this was the other party trying to buy himself a chance.

If someone comes with the sect's order, he won't even be able to drink the soup.

On the way back to the palace, Xia Zhixuan told him everything. As long as he got three of the things, he didn't have to worry about the others. He just had to hand them all over to the sect, so that he could protect himself.

Both the Dan King and Xiao Jingsheng are very clear about the principle of being guilty of possessing a treasure.

“Crack!”

With a muffled sound, the formation arranged by the King of Pills in advance was opened by Xiao Jingsheng. During this period, nothing he did in the inner hall would be known to outsiders.

With a little excitement and anticipation, Xiao Jingsheng soon arrived at the designated stone chamber.

He slowly inserted a conical jade stone into the stone groove, and the stone chamber opened in response.

As expected, the first item was placed in an inconspicuous corner. He directly skipped the treasure in the center that seemed to be wrapped in a gorgeous brocade box on the altar, and went straight to the corner.

When he lowered his head, he saw a jade slip wrapped in spider silk, buried at the bottom under the cover of other bottles and jars.

If Xia Zhixuan hadn't told him in advance, any normal person would have simply ignored it.

Because Xiao Jingsheng also recognized these jade bottles, they were just some first- and second-grade medicinal powders and liquids, and ordinary people were too lazy to even ask about them.

When he took the jade slip in front of him and took a look, he found that its appearance was very simple, and even the name of the technique was not engraved on it.

But the appearance of such a thing in the Dan King's secret room itself seemed a bit unusual.

He was not in a hurry, so he slowly placed it between his eyebrows. When his spiritual consciousness responded to it, lines of information appeared in his mind.

"Inner Acupoint Technique":

This is my unique method of refining the inner orifice of the elixir: those who have just entered the foundation building stage can barely practice it. Ordinary people only know that the human dantian is the lower dantian, but they don’t know that they can also use the method of the dan orifice to open up the upper dantian and the middle dantian by themselves. Once the middle dan orifice is opened, it can store the dan fire. When facing the enemy, just open your mouth and spit out 18 mouthfuls of red as red sand and fierce as clouds. The clear and turbid fire spirit energy can instantly burn the place where you are standing for dozens of feet into a scorched earth. Wherever you pass, no grass will grow, and it can melt metal and stone. If you encounter the magic weapon offered by the enemy, it can also cut off the spiritual power. It has the same effect as the dansha...

Seeing this, Xiao Jingsheng was shocked.

Dansha is a capability that a cultivator who has cultivated to the third level of the Danhua realm can possess. When fighting against an enemy, if used properly, it can directly contaminate the spiritual power of a magical weapon, temporarily cutting off its owner's connection with it.

However, it is clearly written in this inner acupoint technique that it can be practiced at the Foundation Establishment stage.

Magical weapons are a great means for cultivators to win. If one can cut off the connection between the enemy and the magic weapon at the Foundation Establishment stage, then every time one fights the enemy, wouldn't it be like forcing the enemy to cut off one of his own arms as soon as he strikes?

Thinking of this, Xiao Jingsheng suddenly became excited.

But just as he was about to take a look at the method of cultivation, he suddenly heard a "boom" from outside the stone chamber, and then the whole stone chamber began to shake.

"Someone is breaking into the formation!"

He was startled and immediately put the jade slip into his ring and quickly rushed out of the stone chamber.

However, as soon as he took a step forward, he felt a terrifying pressure that locked him down, and for a moment he even lost the courage to lift his foot.

When he looked up, he was stunned at the formation that had shattered into spots of light all over the sky. "How is this possible!"

This is a high-level defensive formation that even Nascent Soul cultivators find difficult to break through!

"Where is Jiang Feng?"

Before he could react, he lost control of his body in an instant. The owner of the voice ignored the distance and directly absorbed his neck and entire body between his five fingers. The skin that was broken by the nails slowly oozed blood, making it impossible for Xiao Jingsheng to even swallow his saliva.

These five fingers were as white as onions and jade, slender and white, but the coldness emanating from the fingertips was telling Xiao Jingsheng that the other party only needed to spit out some energy to blow his head into pieces.

He was able to break through the formation that even Yuanying realm cultivators could not break, and he could also turn the world upside down. Who on earth was this powerful person that I had run into?

Because many readers complained that the name Xiao Chusheng was too out of place, I changed the name to Xiao Jingsheng.
