Chapter 159 Soul-Locking Needle (Another three updates! Please vote!)
Vajra: The Vajra is formed by the true self and wisdom, which can cut off the troubles inside and break the demonic obstacles outside, and the body is as strong as gold and iron. (233/20000 entry)
Gao Xian looked at the notes on the Fengyue Baojian, feeling a little surprised amidst his joy.
I am glad that this kind of divine infusion is really convenient. I can get started directly without any practice.
The method of Vajra cultivation was so deeply imprinted in his memory that he could not forget it even if he wanted to.
He also used jade slips to practice the Great Five Elements Kung Fu, but the divine power inherited from the jade slips was much weaker and could not be compared with the Vajra at all.
The infusion of the Vajra’s divine will even left behind an imprint of the Vajra’s Dharma image, allowing him to directly visualize the Dharma image.
What surprised him was that just to get started with the Vajra Pestle, 20,000 Dao Lingguangs were needed! This was a bit exaggerated.
Among the various magic spells he learned, Taizhen Idol God and Electric Lightning Dragon Hand were his own, and they also had a special connection with Fengyue Treasure Mirror, so these two methods were different from other magic spells.
Simply put, Taizhen Idol God and Electric Photovoltaic Dragon Hand are more suitable for him, and Fengyue Treasure Mirror are more suitable for him, and they are considered to be his innate magical powers.
Therefore, although the two secret arts are obviously much more powerful than other secret arts, the amount of human spiritual light required to upgrade them is not that much.
In comparison, the secret arts such as the Red Dragon Swallowing the Moon and the Shadowless Robe require a lot of human spiritual light to upgrade.
The Vajra is far superior to these secret techniques, and just getting started requires 20,000 points of human spiritual light.
This shows the high level of this secret technique.
Gao Xian glanced at the human spiritual light. Dajiangfang upgraded all the secret techniques to the master's perfection, and there were still more than 20,000 human spiritual lights left.
During these two months, more than 80,000 Dao spiritual lights were accumulated, totaling to 110,000.
With the support of Changshengtang and the huge market of Lianyun City, Lujiaosan and Tianguidan can sell a stable 40,000 to 50,000 pills every month.
However, these pills must be taken in order to produce human spiritual light, and about 40,000 human spiritual lights can be produced stably in a month.
Gao Xian first invested 20,000 spiritual lights to upgrade the vajra to the proficient level.
He immediately felt the effect of the upgrade, and a giant vajra like a towering tower emerged in his sea of consciousness.
Under the integration of the Vajra Pestle Dharma, the magic power transformed from the spiritual energy of heaven and earth continuously penetrates into the limbs and bones.
Under normal circumstances, after a great sage inhales and exhales spiritual energy, the energy will enter his spiritual orifice and be converted into magic power.
The more spiritual orifices you have, the stronger the converted magic power will be.
The magic power circulating in the body will continuously permeate the body, strengthening it while also making the body more friendly to spiritual energy and making it easier to circulate magic power.
Every time a practitioner practices breathing and every time he circulates his magic power, his body and soul are subtly changed.
However, this change is very slow. If you want to make your body stronger, you must practice special body-building methods.
Zhu Qinniang is a body cultivator. In her early years, she took the Green Lapis Lazuli Fruit, which caused her body to become as hard as steel.
On the other hand, this also laid the foundation for Zhu Qinnan to build her foundation.
The most important thing is that he helped Qinnan solve the problem of alienation, allowing her body to truly integrate spiritual energy and circulate magic power, and finally complete the foundation building.
Whether in terms of strength, endurance, burst, reaction, etc., Qinnan and he are not on the same level.
The two men are of similar body shape, but if we compare their physical fitness, he is much inferior to Qiniang.
Fortunately, I have the Electric Photovoltaic Dragon Hand and the Rejuvenation Spell to restore health and mana, so I can barely fight.
When the Vajra reaches a proficient level, the gathered magical power continuously penetrates into the bones and flesh, strengthening the body from an extremely subtle level.
For Gao Xian, the body training that comes with this method is the most important.
In order to practice Vajra, one must actually use the corresponding secret medicine Vajra Pill and some special spiritual objects, only then can one make progress.
However, there is no record of the recipe for Vajra Pill in the Vajra Secret Method.
Gao Xian guessed that someone had practiced Vajra before, but without the prescription, there was no achievement.
Although the secret technique of Vajra is good, it is worthless if you can't practice it. It is precisely because of this that this secret technique fell into his hands.
Fortunately, the Fengyue Treasure Mirror is so magical that one can break through without any elixirs or spiritual objects.
Gao Xian could feel the blood and qi in his body surging like a tide, his bones emitting strong vitality, his muscles rapidly contracting and stretching, his body turning red, like a red-hot iron block...
He felt like he was put into a huge furnace. The impurities in his body were constantly being melted away and his body was constantly strengthened during the tempering.
This process lasted for almost two hours before Gao Xian's body temperature slowly returned to normal.
Gao Xian exerted his strength to stand up. Fortunately, his consciousness was strong and he immediately controlled the power that was bursting out of his body.
He was a little surprised. The Vajra Pestle had only just reached the proficient level, but the effect on body transformation was so good? !
Although Gao Xian's spiritual consciousness was strong, he had never practiced any advanced secret techniques and could not see within himself. He could sense the subtle flow of qi, blood and magic power, but he could not perceive the subtle changes in himself.
It was the same now. He could only feel that his bones, muscles and tendons had become stronger. However, he couldn't really tell how much stronger they had become and what specific changes had taken place in his bones and muscles.
He casually pulled out the Qinglian Sword. This 27-jin long sword was quite easy to use.
Holding it in my hand at this moment, it feels light.
Gao Xian swung his sword in the air, and the green sword tip whistled through the air, leaving behind a faint green light.
"The speed has obviously increased, by about 20%..."
Gao Xian was very familiar with his own strength and speed, and he knew something was different in his body just from the moment he swung his sword.
The strength has obviously increased a lot. According to his estimation, it has increased by about 50%.
This is because the bones, tendons and muscles become stronger and the strength naturally increases.
A strong body can also carry a faster speed, further unleashing the speed of the Electric Photoelectric Dragon Hand.
The current speed has not yet reached the limit of the Electric Photoelectric Dragon Hand.
Gao Xian summarized his own changes and praised the effect of Vajra on body training.
Especially the Fengyue Baojian, which could actually create something out of nothing and directly strengthen his body. It was truly miraculous.
In the past, using the Humane Spiritual Light to add points only increased the speed of practicing the secret arts and optimized the secret arts.
The Electric Photovoltaic Dragon Hand can improve the body to a certain extent, but it will not have such an exaggerated effect.
Gao Xian was sighing when he realized something was wrong.
Logically speaking, this kind of body-refining method should be able to increase his lifespan. However, the lifespan marked on the Fengyue Baojian was 260 years, which reduced his lifespan by ten years.
"Well……"
Gao Xian studied it for a long time, and his mood became a little complicated.
In the process of practicing Vajra, the human spiritual light did not come out of nothing, but stimulated his life potential, so he reduced his life span by ten years.
The price was not that high, after all, he had nearly 300 years to live. When he completed the foundation building, his life span would be greatly increased.
But he was not prepared for this, and he felt very uncomfortable.
You know, rejuvenation surgery can only regenerate a severed limb with five years of life.
The secret method of Vajra was so powerful that it took away ten years of his life in one go.
Gao Xian's consciousness entered the Temple of Mind and tested his new body.
The body is strengthened in all aspects, and the effect is very good. Especially when combined with the Electric Light Dragon Hand, the combat power is significantly improved.
Even the Iron Dragon Hand was improved a lot.
In order to build a foundation, it is worth paying a little price.
Gao Xian gritted his teeth and invested another 40,000 spiritual lights to upgrade the vajra to the mastery level.
His body was like falling into a furnace again. After three hours of internal and external tempering, it slowly returned to normal.
Gao Xian opened the Mirror of Love and Lust and found that his life span had become 240, twenty years less.
The price is acceptable!
I just don't know how much life span will be consumed by upgrading again. If it is a doubling algorithm, then upgrading to the expert level is the limit.
Anyway, it was a shortcut, the price was acceptable, and the effect was very significant.
Gao Xian tested his body and found that his strength increased by about 30%. His skin became delicate and tough, and his bones became stronger and more resilient.
It is roughly equivalent to the state of Qiniang when she reached the tenth level of Qi training.
You have to know that Qi Niang took the Green Gold Fruit, and her body was much stronger than that of ordinary body cultivators. Even a great cultivator who had established his foundation might not be able to surpass Qi Niang in physical strength.
The several great foundation-building monks that Gao Xian knew, such as Xu Lingyun, Zhu Changsheng, Li Shuanglin and the like, were all like this.
The only exception was Zhang Chunjiang, who may have practiced some physical training techniques and had a very strong body. His combat power was also significantly better than other cultivators in the early stages of foundation building.
Gao Xian estimated that the Vajra needed to be upgraded to at least the master level before his physical strength would be barely enough.
When Qinniang came back in the evening, Gao Xian gave her a big surprise.
Please...collect 6...9...books...!
In the following days, Gao Xian stayed at home every day to make medicine and practice, and did not go anywhere.
The weather kept getting colder, and by December, heavy snow covered the mountains.
The cultivators in Lianyun City also began to stay indoors during the winter.
After a year of hard work, most cultivators would choose to relax and rest in the winter. The restaurants and brothels in Lianyun City also became more and more lively.
In this atmosphere, Lujiaosan and Tianguidan naturally became hot sellers.
Every day when Gao Xian opened the Fengyue Baojian, he could see a lot of human spiritual light entering his account, and he felt very happy.
When he had accumulated the spiritual light of 80,000 people, he upgraded his vajra to the expert level.
At this level, all his internal organs were strengthened.
At this point, his skin, flesh, bones, and internal organs have been condensed into one, reaching the state of being as hard as diamond and as soft as cotton.
This upgrade consumed thirty years of his life.
Gao Xian also breathed a sigh of relief. He now had 210 years left to live, and if he spent another 40 years he would be able to upgrade his vajra to the master level.
By next summer, his cultivation should be able to reach the ninth level of Qi training, and he should be able to accumulate enough human spiritual light. Then he can upgrade the Vajra Pestle and prepare to build the foundation.
Once he completes building his foundation, the loss of more than a hundred years of life will be nothing.
To reach the master level, Vajra needs 160,000 spiritual lights. It will take at least until April next year to accumulate enough spiritual lights, and Gao Xian has no intention of practicing anymore.
As the Chinese New Year was approaching, he decided to take a few days off.
Seeing Gao Xian was idle, Zhu Qiniang reminded him, "Bai Yurong is your master's wife. You should go visit her before the New Year."
Since the master was gone, Gao Xian couldn't get too close to his master's wife. However, he still visited her during festivals.
Gao Xian nodded. He understood what Qi Niang meant. Respecting teachers and honoring virtues is the most politically correct thing in this world.
There are two kinds of inheritance in this world, master-disciple inheritance and bloodline inheritance.
The former inheritance model is the sect, the latter inheritance model is the aristocratic family. Of course, the two are often mixed together.
The master-disciple relationship and blood relationship are the most important relationships in this world.
As the saying goes, teacher and disciple are closely related to each other, generally speaking, the master-disciple relationship is higher than the blood relationship.
Because the talent for cultivation cannot be passed down stably through bloodline.
For Jindan Zhenren, the direct descendants of seven or eight generations are no different from other disciples. The blood relationship is not as stable as the master-disciple relationship.
Based on this situation, the truly large sects all rely on the inheritance of master and disciple to continue.
Respecting teachers and honoring virtues has become the foundation of a sect, including the so-called demon cultivators.
Gao Xian prepared one hundred Tiangui Lingdan pills and six Sanzhuan Changsheng pills and packed them in an exquisite wooden box.
Zhu Qiniang reminded again: "I heard that Xu Lingyun is back, you have to be careful."
The Qingluo carriage was too conspicuous, and Gao Xian didn't want to cause trouble, so he put on a bamboo hat and walked to his master's wife's house in the falling snow.
It was very quiet in front of the Xu family’s gate, and no one was even sweeping the snow.
Gao Xian went forward and knocked on the door. An old security guard came out from the side door. After asking Gao Xian's name, he slowly returned to the yard.
This old man, with a deep aura, was actually in the middle stage of Qi training. Moreover, his spiritual awareness was stable, and it was obvious that the method of cultivation was quite superior.
There are too many Qigong practitioners in Lianyun City, so it is normal for them to come to watch the gate. Gao Xian was puzzled because the old gatekeeper seemed to have some background, which was a bit strange.
After a while, the pretty Chunxiang came out hurriedly, and she respectfully welcomed Gaoxian into the main room.
There was no one in the main room. Chunxiang brought Gao Xian a cup of fragrant tea. She lowered her eyes and whispered, "Master Gao, the lady is changing clothes in the backyard. Please wait a moment."
Gao Xian smiled. He hadn't seen the little maid for a year. She had grown up. Her skin was fair and her figure was curvy. She looked shy, but her eyes and eyebrows were full of girlish charm.
He said casually: "It's okay, I'll wait for Master's wife here. You go and do your work..."
Chunxiang hesitated for a moment before bowing and leaving the main hall.
As Gao Xian watched Chunxiang's graceful back leave, he looked thoughtful. Something was wrong. How could Chunxiang become so attractive? Her aura was also obviously much more delicate...
At the same time, two women were talking in the main room in the backyard.
Bai Yurong, who was dressed in green, said to the woman beside her: "Gao Xian is here, I will go and deal with him."
The woman next to Bai Yurong smiled charmingly: "Xiaoxian, you're here at the right time. I was just looking for him to play..."
This woman was also dressed in green, and her appearance was exactly the same as Bai Yurong.
The two looked, acted, and behaved like the same person, except that the woman in green had a charming and enchanting look between her eyebrows, which was very different from Bai Yurong's temperament.
Bai Yurong frowned slightly: "He is just a little Qi practitioner, there is no benefit for you to take it from him. Why bother?"
The woman looked at Bai Yurong with a half-smile, "Why, you can't bear to let her go?"
She turned and said disdainfully: "This kid has climbed up the social ladder and doesn't even take you seriously. Why are you still bothering him?"
Bai Yurong shook her head slightly: "Gao Xian has changed a lot. I don't know why the Caesar Seal I placed on him is no longer effective. I thought he was smart and clever, so I wanted to find a chance to take him in. What a pity..."
Gao Xian was good-looking when he was a child, and she was attracted by this fact and forced Xu Mingyuan to accept Gao Xian as his disciple.
She implanted the Caesar Seal into Gao Xian, and through continuous infiltration and transformation, she was able to completely control Gao Xian. With this relationship, she naturally felt close to Gao Xian.
As Gao Xian grew up, Xu Mingyuan became jealous of her close relationship with Gao Xian and forcefully sent Gao Xian to Pegasus.
There was nothing she could do about it. After all, Xu Mingyuan was a foundation-building cultivator and a master of alchemy. She really had no way to control Xu Mingyuan.
After getting rid of Xu Mingyuan, Bai Yurong hurriedly called Gao Xian back. As a result, Gao Xian seemed to have become a different person. He was very unfamiliar with her, and the seal of the beautiful woman left on Gao Xian's soul also disappeared.
What made her saddest was that Gao Xian had become the lover of Zhu Qiniang! Bai Yurong was very disappointed with Gao Xian. She tried using Xu Lingyun, but the result disappointed her even more. Gao Xian also became wary of her and stopped looking for her.
She still didn't want to kill Gao Xian. After all, they had been together for many years and there was always some affection between them.
She thought for a moment and said, "Since he can't be used anymore, it's okay to get rid of him. But he and Zhu Qiniang are together, and it will be hard to explain if something happens to him."
The green-clothed woman chuckled and said, "I'm not going to kill him now. I'm just draining his essence and leaving behind the Cha Nu Soul Locking Needle.
"When Gao Xian and Zhu Qiniang fool around, I will use the Soul-Locking Needle to subdue Zhu Qiniang in one fell swoop..."
