"Of course there is a way."
The old man chuckled and said, "It depends on whether you are willing to give it up."
Xiang Hongyu's face was gloomy. "Master, I even gave up my own sister's life. What else is there to be reluctant about?"
"Well, I'll teach you another method."
The old man stretched out his hand and touched his forehead, pulling out a ball of spiritual light and throwing it into Xiang Hongyu's sea of consciousness. "After learning this method, you can force your own true essence into the furnace cauldron. You can then control the true essence to flow through the meridians, and then the circulation of the heavenly energy will be completed. The furnace cauldron only needs to practice according to the cycle you left, and there is no need to learn any classics."
Xiang Hongyu was delighted to hear this, but before he could nod in agreement, the old man changed the subject and said, "This method is extremely dangerous. If you are not careful, not only will your cauldron and body disintegrate and die, but you will also suffer extremely serious backlash. At the very least, your meridians will be damaged and your cultivation will decline. At worst, your life will be in danger."
"What?!"
Xiang Hongyu's expression suddenly changed, his eyes shifted slightly, and he whispered, "Master, even though you have powerful soul power, can't you protect me from backlash?"
"You wish."
The old man snorted coldly, "Master, I have been helping you steal spiritual materials on the main peak. My soul power has been depleted by more than half and I need to be recuperated. Are you asking me to do this in order to destroy my soul?"
"Disciple, I dare not."
Xiang Hongyu quickly denied it. After struggling for a moment, he sighed, "Master, this method is so dangerous, the gains may not outweigh the losses. I think... we should wait a little longer. I will teach Xiang Sheng well. Maybe in a few days, she will understand."
…
Over the next two days, Xiang Sheng came to Xiang Hongyu every day to listen to his teachings, still pretending to be struggling.
Seeing Xiang Hongyu's face getting uglier day by day, with hesitation occasionally flashing across his eyes, Xiang Sheng felt a chill in his heart.
Could it be that Xiang Hongyu has some extraordinary method?
She had originally only wanted to delay for a few days to carefully study the strange aspects of her mental method, but now... it seemed she could not delay any longer.
On the fourth day, Xiang Hongyu's limited patience was finally exhausted. He was about to use the method taught by his master and take a risk, but saw Xiang Sheng running towards him with a happy face and said, "Brother, I got it!"
Xiang Hongyu was stunned. "What?"
"I learned!"
Xiang Sheng condensed a strand of true energy and held it in front of Xiang Hongyu with a proud look on his face, "Brother, look!"
Xiang Hongyu's eyes narrowed instantly. He waved his hand to guide the wisp of true energy to flow in his palm. He sensed it carefully for a moment and felt overjoyed.
Done!
"Master, Xiang Sheng has mastered it!"
Xiang Hongyu couldn't hide his excitement. He looked at Xiang Sheng in front of him as if he was looking at a rare treasure. "Sheng'er, you are such a good sister to me!"
Xiang Sheng just laughed along without saying anything.
"eccentric."
In the acupoint of the sea of consciousness, the old man looked at Xiang Sheng through Xiang Hongyu's vision. A trace of displeasure flashed across his cloudy eyes. "This girl clearly has mixed spiritual roots. It took her only three days to refine the first strand of true essence. It's really strange."
Could it be that Xiang Hongyu really has some luck?
The old man frowned and thought for a moment, then relaxed his brows again and chuckled softly, "That's fine, that's fine..."
In the outside world, Xiang Hongyu couldn't wait to start the next step.
"Sheng'er, your spiritual roots are too weak. If you practice step by step, you may not be able to successfully build your foundation even after a hundred years."
Xiang Hongyu pulled Xiang Sheng to sit down and said solemnly, "Brother, I have a heaven-defying method that can help you speed up your cultivation and avoid the suffering of weak spiritual roots!"
Xiang Shengxing's eyes widened slightly, she was surprised and delighted, "Brother, are you serious?"
"How could my brother lie to you?"
Xiang Hongyu smiled a bit, then frowned again and said, "But this method uses golden needles to cross the acupuncture points, and it requires your true energy to guide and stabilize it. It will definitely be a bit painful. Sheng'er...can you bear it?"
I see.
The true essence is transferred to another body, and the true essence is refined with the blood of relatives, which is equivalent to separating a true body and storing one's own true essence. When the breakthrough is critical and the subsequent strength is insufficient, it can devour the furnace, the true essence will surge, and the elixir will be formed in one fell swoop.
What a good plan!
Xiang Sheng sneered in his heart, but on the surface he showed a determined look, "Brother has always planned for my training, how can I be afraid of pain? Sheng'er is willing to give it a try!"
"Good! Good! Good!"
Xiang Hongyu said "good" three times in a row and laughed heartily: "When you have achieved success in cultivation, we two brothers and sisters will venture into the world of cultivation together. How wonderful it will be!"
Xiang Sheng smiled, but the smile did not reach his eyes, and his gaze gradually turned cold.
Xiang Hongyu was immersed in joy and was completely unaware of this. He first had Xiang Sheng take the Hu Ling Dan, then took out the golden needles that had been prepared in the inner room and, following his master's instructions, began with the Shenmen acupoint on the wrist meridian, starting from the easy to the difficult.
The needle is thin and you don't feel anything when it enters the acupoint.
And when Xiang Hongyu passed a trace of true energy along the golden needle, the scattered true energy that he had cultivated before immediately reversed the meridians and came to the acupuncture point, guiding those strands of true energy and filling them steadily into the Shenmen.
The Shenmen acupoint naturally disagreed with such a domineering occupation of the nest, and tried hard to repel it, causing a tearing and stinging sensation.
The true energy in the meridians immediately began to stir, as if wanting to destroy that trace of foreign true energy.
Xiang Sheng was startled and quickly suppressed the fluctuations of his true energy, while softly hissing, "Brother, it hurts."
Xiang Hongyu turned a deaf ear to him and concentrated on transferring his true energy until he felt that his true energy had completely taken root in the Shenmen acupoint. Only then did he let go of Xiang Sheng's arm, leaving a red-purple bruise.
“Success!”
Although the process was uneventful, Xiang Hongyu couldn't help showing joy. After being happy, he saw Xiang Sheng's eyes were red and he looked like he was about to cry.
He smiled slightly, gently pulled Xiang Sheng's wrist, rubbed it, and comforted her, "Sheng'er, only those who endure the most hardships can become the best. If you can't bear this pain, I can close your five senses. But if you do, the effect of your training will be greatly reduced. Are you willing?"
