Chapter 34: Bad News
"I don't have much time, I have to continue cultivating!"
Liu Wuya sat cross-legged, the woods were desolate, and the leaves were still snowy.
"If you want to reach the upper level of the second-layer meridians, you must at least break through the two veins."
Liu Wuya took a deep breath and took out the silver needle he was carrying, when he was cultivating his true qi before, he had already mastered the location of the pulse path he was going to break through next.
With the help of silver needles, the acupuncture points connecting the veins can be stimulated from the outside first, and when the true qi is running, it will be easier to break through the veins.
Of course, this is a method that Liu Wuya inadvertently realized, for ordinary martial artists, especially those who don't understand medical skills, they can only rely on continuous practice over time to gradually break through the pulse.
After inserting the silver needle, Liu Wuya began to condense the true qi, as before, first let the true qi condense in the dantian, and then squeeze the true qi with internal force, forcing the true qi to run rapidly in the veins.
Since he had cultivated the Xuanming Seventy-two Sword Sect for a long time before, his control of internal force had reached a very proficient level, coupled with the cultivation of the Wind Ghost Killing after that, the operation of the True Qi had almost reached the realm of natural success, so this time, when he broke through the vein, he would not be as blind as he was at the beginning, but everything was under his control.
In just one night, he had once again successfully broken through three veins, including one heaven-level vein. Two prefecture-level veins.
One of the heaven-level veins runs through the neck, chest, left arm, right shoulder, and legs of the body, and the true qi runs almost all over the body in this heaven-level vein, so it can be said that this heaven-level vein will be of great help to break through more veins in the future.
After the three veins were broken through, with the current cultivation, they had reached the realm of the upper level of the second-layer meridians.
But he did not rush to open the third layer of meridians, but chose to continue to strengthen the tenacity and strength of the veins.
With the lesson of the last time, he didn't dare to be so reckless, but chose the safest way, only by constantly strengthening the tenacity of the veins could he ensure that the true qi would not cause harm to the meridians during the operation.
For the next seven days, Liu Wuya cultivated the Xuanming Seventy-two Sword Sect during the day, and at night, he cultivated the Wind Ghost Kill.
The purpose of cultivating the two exercises at the same time is to make one's own internal force and true qi progress and strengthen at the same time, and only in this way can one ensure the balance between one's own internal force and true qi when opening up the third layer of meridians.
Once his physical strength is exhausted, Liu Wuya will take a short rest, because of the opening of the Netherworld, for him, his physical strength will recover much faster than ordinary people.
Throughout the process of cultivation, Liu Wuya gradually felt that the four heaven-level veins he had broken through were becoming more and more tenacious, and the strength was also increasing, and just these four veins had connected all parts of his entire body.
This is definitely a good thing for Liu Wuya, because every time he runs the True Qi, the True Qi will flow along the veins to all parts of the body, including the five internal organs, and the True Qi has a very good strengthening effect on the five internal organs.
This also means that when the internal organs are hit externally, they will not be injured as easily as ordinary people.
When he reached the upper level of the second-layer meridians, the true qi that could be condensed was enough to be as much as a swimming pool, which meant that when using the Xuanming Seventy-two Sword Sect, the power that could be stimulated was even stronger than before.
In addition, Liu Wuya has now broken through a total of eight veins, including five heaven-level veins and three earth-level veins, according to the condensation level of true qi, it can be said that it is not much different from the three-layer meridian realm of those gifted martial artists, and even exceeds the three-layer meridian realm of martial artists.
For more than ten days in a row, Liu Wuya had been cultivating his internal strength and true qi, and just as he was about to try to open the third meridian, Ying'er suddenly came to the grass house where he lived.
"Ying'er, why are you here, is something wrong with my sister?" Liu Wuya didn't expect Ying'er to appear at this time, and his intuition told him that it was very likely that his sister had an accident.
"No, it's my sister who came to let me inform you of one thing, the day of the Purple Mountain Sword Sect's exam has been advanced, and three days later will be the day of the exam."
"What? Three days later? Liu Wuya was surprised.
"Yes!" Ying'er nodded slightly.
Liu Wuya never expected that the day of the exam would be advanced, according to the previous plan, there are still two months between now and the exam, and the middle month is all used to cultivate true qi and internal strength, and then if he is lucky, he can open the third layer of meridians in the last month, but now Ying'er told him that the exam is scheduled for three days later.
In three days, it is completely impossible to open the third layer of meridians, even if it is a gifted genius, it is impossible to open from the second layer to the third layer in just three days, you know, it took nearly two months to open up the meridians from the second layer to the third layer before and after the Ming Hou Mansion.
Liu Wuya's talent is not high, so naturally he can't compare to Mo Chen, let him open up to the third layer of meridians within three days, even if he eats the blood lingzhi again, it is impossible.
"Why is it early? Aren't there two months left? ”
"I heard from my sister that it was because the Taishang County Ancestor had already come to Purple Mountain Prefecture from the Sect Master of the Infinite Realm and wanted to see the cultivation of the young martial artist before returning, so I made a temporary decision to advance."
"What? Taishang Junzu has come to Purple Mountain Prefecture? ”
"Yes!" Ying'er nodded.
Liu Wuya sighed, "Are you really going to miss this year's Purple Mountain Sword Sect imparting exam?" ”
After a while, Liu Wuya said: "Okay, I know, so let's do it, you wait for me for a while, and the two of us will go back to the county palace together." ”
"What? Did Childe decide to take this exam? You haven't already reached the third meridian, have you? ”
Liu Wuya shook his head and said regretfully: "Not yet, but I've been out for so long, and it's time to go back to see my sister." ”
Ying'er also showed a regretful expression when she heard that he hadn't opened the third layer of meridians yet, she also knew that with Liu Wuya's current ability, it was simply impossible to get through to the third layer of meridians in such a short period of time.
But she still tried to smile and said, "It's okay, son, if you can't participate this time, you can wait for the next time!" ”
"Next time? The next time will be four years from now, and I don't have that much time! ”
......
......
Liu Wuya packed up his things and followed Ying'er and the two towards the county palace.
It's just that he didn't go back to the county palace directly, but took Ying'er to the largest clothing store and jewelry store in Zishan County.
He specially bought a few sets of clothes with the best materials for his sister, and also bought two sets for Ying'er, the two came out of the clothing store and went to the jewelry store, Liu Wuya first selected a pair of high-quality jade bracelets for Ying'er, and then selected the most expensive and beautiful bracelets and earrings in the store for his sister, and then walked towards the county palace.
When he passed by the spirit grass house on the way, he went in again to buy some herbs and some spices for his sister.
All the things added up, and it cost almost ten thousand taels in total.
After everything was ready, he returned to the county palace.
"Childe, where did you get so much silver?" On the way, Ying'er asked Liu Wuya suspiciously.
"Haha, Sister Ying'er, you don't need to ask about this, besides, I just said it, you may not believe it, in short, this silver is not stolen, nor is it robbed."
"Then what should I answer if my sister asks?" Ying'er asked.
"When the time comes, I'll say that the friend who delivered the medicine last time gave it to me."
"Okay!" Ying'er's eyebrows were lowered, and she replied softly.
She never thought that Liu Wuya would be so good to her, and besides, he never treated her like a subordinate, but took care of her like a relative.
This made her feel a warmth that she had never felt before, and this warmth was hidden in her heart and fell into tears.
......
......
Yuhan Palace, martial arts training ground.
"Slash of the Sea"
The Seven County Lord held a seven-star sword in his hand, jumped in the air, his body half turned, or the moment he didn't twist, a sword slashed out, and a sword qi cut through the air and flew towards a boulder five meters away.
"Bang!"
On the originally hard boulder, there was a sword crack more than two meters long.
"The county lord's swordsmanship is getting more and more powerful!"
Tian Ru stood aside and said happily, "With the current cultivation of the county lord, this exam will definitely be able to enter the top three." ”
The Lord of the Seven Counties put away his sword and looked gloomy, "This is not necessarily, but I heard that the daughter of the Houfu Mansion, Mochen Girl, is also going to take this exam, with her, it must be not so easy to enter the top three." ”
"Why did she still participate, didn't she already participate four years ago, and she won the first place that year."
"I heard that this is what General Minghou meant, and this time even the ancestor of Taishang County has to watch the battle in person, presumably in order to let his daughter show his face for him in front of Taishang Junzu, not to mention, I have long heard that this General Minghou intends to marry his daughter to the second prince, among all the princes, it is estimated that only the second prince can enter the eyes of General Minghou."
"But what kind of temperament does the second prince have?"
"Hehe, do you think General Minghou cares about this, in his opinion, his daughter is just a pawn in his hands, he wants to continuously expand his rights in Zishan Prefecture through marriage, besides, among all the princes, only the second prince is likely to inherit the position of the county king in the future, you say, isn't this a good opportunity?"
Tian Ru nodded, "How can this Ming Hou General be like this, he doesn't care about his daughter's happiness at all, this is a lifelong event." ”
"What a lifelong event, what happiness, compared to power, what is this!"
"It seems that he is playing a big game." Tian Ru thought for a moment, and then suddenly remembered something, and said, "I don't know if Liu Gongzi will participate in this exam?" ”
The Seven County Lord frowned, sighed, and said: "He shouldn't be able to participate, he has just opened up the meridians, and he only opened the meridians at the age of sixteen, even if the talent is good, it is impossible to open the third layer of the meridians in just three months, I estimate that it is difficult to reach even the upper level of the first layer of meridians now." ”
"I hope Liu Gongzi can take this exam." Tian Ru also let out a long sigh.
The Seven County Lords naturally have the same idea as Tian Ru, but hope is always hope, but the reality is always cruel, saying a thousand ways and ten thousand, it is impossible for people's fate to win the reality.
"By the way, after this exam, you go to the elixir pharmacy to get some more spirit grass and take it to Liu Wuya, since you have opened up the meridians, you can be regarded as stepping into the door of cultivation, and you need some spirit grass to replenish your strength."
When Tian Ru heard the Seven County Lords say this, she suddenly burst out laughing.
The Lord of the Seven Counties glanced at her, not knowing what this guy was thinking about again, "What are you laughing at?" ”
"I'm laughing at Liu Gongzi's life, in the entire county palace, there are such handsome and good martial arts people, our county lord doesn't even look at them, but this Liu Gongzi has mediocre talent and no ability, but let our county lord often think about him."
"You talk nonsense again, be careful that I hit you." The Lord of the Seven Counties said with a delicate face.
In fact, even she doesn't know why, every time she thinks of Liu Wuya, she always has an indescribable feeling in her heart, maybe it's because she grew up together, she always admonishes herself.
