"Could it be because of that weird blue flame?"

Qi An was thinking hard, he recalled the moment before he fainted, the touch of his fingertips, the fiery and unstoppable force, and then became more and more certain: "Yes! It must be it! It is the strange flame! It suddenly burrowed into my body, turning into a raging torrent of blazing heat scurrying around, brutally breaking through the originally blocked and closed meridians, as if because of this, I quickly broke through!"

For the cultivation process of martial artists, although Qi An does not have a famous teacher to guide him, he has also heard of a rather magical quick method, that is, the predecessors of the masters do not hesitate to spend the true yuan to cut the hair and wash the marrow, dredge the meridians, but this method has certain risks, one is to require the caster to be extremely good at the control of the true element, and the other is to require the person who is being treated with a strong physique to withstand the impact of the true element, otherwise a careless and powerful true qi will damage the fragile meridians, causing incurable wounds. Even if the operation is successful, it is necessary to use various natural materials and earth treasures to regulate the body afterwards, otherwise it will leave a lot of trouble.

It stands to reason that after this strange flame entered Qi An's body, it turned into thousands of blazing fire lines and rampage, which should have destroyed Qi An's meridians and died no longer able to die, but he only suffered severe pain and did not die, and it was thought that it was also related to his innate self-healing ability that can be called a pervert.

Qi An pondered before and after, although he roughly understood the reason for the smooth passage of the meridians, he couldn't figure out what this strange dark blue flame was. After thinking about it for a long time, there was no answer, so I didn't bother to think about it anymore, but crossed my knees on the ground, calmed down, and began to try to cultivate.

The foundation building method of the Seven Absolute Sword Techniques is divided into two parts, the upper part is the acquired heart method, which is mainly based on mouth, nose and breathing, and is suitable for the cultivation before the martial sect, and the lower part becomes the innate heart method, which is mainly based on the absorption and operation of the acupoint meridians, and must be based on the realm of the martial sect.

Martial Sect is the key to the division between acquired and innate nature, and it is also an important turning point. Before Wuzong, he used the Yuan Qi of Heaven and Earth to refine his body and lay a good foundation, and after Wu Zong, he absorbed the Yuan Qi, sank the dantian, and saved one out of ten, until he gathered Qi and condensed the truth, and was promoted to a monk.

Almost all of the formulas that are widely circulated among the people are acquired heart formulas, and they can only be cultivated to the Martial Sect at the highest, and most of the innate heart formulas that can break through the Martial Sect and promote to a higher realm are kept secret and not passed on, only those who are in charge of the Xiuzhen Sect or the Xiuzhen family, as well as the rulers of the Great Martial Dynasty, and it is difficult for mortals and ordinary martial artists to obtain them.

At this time, Qi An's operation is naturally the lower half of the foundation building method, of course, it is likely to be incomplete, but Qi An doesn't care very much, after all, the upper half is also incomplete, and he has also stumbled to cultivate to the martial artist!

As soon as the heart method was put into operation, the body immediately reacted, and Qi An could vaguely feel that many points on the surface of the body began to "breathe" like a mouth and nose, and the slightest air flow was inhaled into the points, walking along the meridians at an extremely slow speed, converging towards the dantian under the abdomen, which was a completely different cultivation experience from the past!

You must know that when Qi An relied on the first half of the foundation building method to cultivate in the past, he relied on swallowing the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi through his mouth and nose, and most of the inhaled qi was turbidity, and when this turbid qi mixed with weak clear qi passed through the throat and trachea into the lungs, and after a small circle in the body, it returned to the body and exhaled out of the body by the same route. In this process, less than one-ten-thousandth of the vitality particles can penetrate into the internal organs, muscles, bones, skin, and flesh, thereby refining the body.

When it comes to the stage of washing and exchanging marrows, you will feel that the blood runs rapidly, and the depth of the bone marrow is like a slight burning sensation, and there is a large overflow of sweat on the body surface, and there is a fishy smell, which is the harmful impurities in the bones and blood that are discharged from the body; and then the strong pulse will sense that there is an air flow in the body, but it is blocked in many places, not very smooth, and there will be a stinging sensation from time to time.

In general, the previous cultivation feeling was not very good, and it can even be described as suffering, and absorbing the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi with acupuncture points is a completely different feeling, just like soaking in hot water in winter, or having a light breeze blowing through the body on a hot day, or eating delicious food when you are hungry, and lying on a soft bed when you are sleepy, it is simply refreshing, extremely comfortable, and completely a pleasure.

Compared with mouth and nose breathing, the absorption of a single acupoint is very small, negligible, but it cannot support the large number of acupoints, and the proportion of clear qi contained in the acupoint is very high, and the proportion of turbid qi is almost half, so the absorption efficiency is far higher and the acquired mouth and nose breathing.

After the heaven and earth vitality enters the body through the acupoints, it enters the meridians, and Qi An is needed to guide the direction of travel of these heaven and earth vitality, and after circulating the limbs and bones for a week, it finally converges towards the place where the dantian qi sea is, the acupuncture points are equivalent to the entrance, the meridians are the road, and the dantian qi sea is the endpoint. Although many of the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi overflowed uncontrollably and were lost during this process, a very small part of it successfully reached the dantian and accumulated in the dantian.

This is what is said in the mantra of building the foundation of the heart, "Qi sinks into the dantian, and accepts ten and saves one".

In other words, after the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi is incorporated into the body, it will run along the meridians, and eventually about one-tenth of the amount will accumulate in the dantian.

However, Qi An soon found out that something was wrong, the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi that entered the dantian was indeed one-tenth of the amount of acupoint inhalation, but after entering the dantian, a very large part of it disappeared strangely, and what remained in the dantian was only about one percent of the total amount inhaled.

Strange! What went wrong?

Could it be that the foundation building method that I sorted out by myself went wrong?

Qi An endured his temperament and tried to run for another week, and it was true that only about one percent of the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi would remain in the dantian, and the other nine percent would disappear out of thin air immediately after entering the dantian.

It's really evil!

Qi Anwu did not give up, continued to operate his mental method, and condensed his mental moment sensing, and finally he noticed a hint, as if there was something more in his dantian, if there was nothing, like fog and not fog, like a cluster of flames, slowly twisting and changing, it was the translucent blue strange flame that had drilled into his body before.

"How did this ghost run into my dantian?"

Qi An was so shocked that he almost jumped up from the ground, and he could no longer cultivate with peace of mind.

"Could it be...... Those vanished Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi were swallowed up by it?"

Qi An had to guess like this, with his years of sorting and comprehension, even if the foundation building method of the Seven Absolute Sword Techniques was flawed, it should be generally feasible, even if the efficiency was not good, it would not be so exaggerated that it was ten times worse, and the only explanation was that the weird dark blue flame was playing tricks.

Qi An suddenly felt his scalp tingle, his back was cold, and the excitement of opening up the meridians and acupoints disappeared in an instant, no matter how bold he was, he couldn't help but be frightened, he even felt that this strange flame was likely to have life and consciousness, and he might kill himself at any time.

It's just that at present, it seems that this thing has no other effects for the time being, except that it will devour the heaven and earth vitality that enters the dantian. But just the fact that it devoured the vitality made Qi An have a big headache, not to mention anything else, the cultivation speed alone was ten times slower, it was originally a matter of ten and one, but now it has become one hundred and one, and if you want to break through the realm of quenching and become a monk, it is simply far away.

After being frightened, Qi An gradually settled down and thought about how to get this ghost thing out of his body. But after thinking about it, I still don't have a clue, after all, I don't even know what this flame is, so how can I expel it?

It seems that there is no way to take it for the time being, Qi An can only hope that he can get help after seeing his father, no matter what, get out of here first.

Qi An got up and looked around, due to his promotion to the Innate Martial Sect realm, his eyesight had greatly improved, and he could see things more clearly and nuancedly.

This underground grotto is quite extensive, with a radius of hundreds of zhang, except for this small Xiaoice island at the foot of Qi'an, the rest of the place is all water, surrounded by steep mountain walls, closing upwards, and the whole space is like a huge bowl with an upside-down cover.

Qi An looked up and vaguely found that there were several gaps in the stone wall above, one of which should be the place where he fell, but the lowest one from the water was seventy or eighty zhang high, and it was impossible to jump up.

Qi An jumped into the underground lake, swam to the edge of the stone wall, and wanted to use his fingers to pick into the stone wall to climb, but he didn't know that if he grabbed it hard, the stone wall did not move at all, like a hundred refined steel, but his fingers were shaken.

"How can it be so hard? I have a thousand pounds of strength to scratch it, and I haven't even left a finger mark? If this stone wall is extremely hard, then how can I fall from it?"

Qi An didn't believe in evil, so he swung his claws again with all his strength, and his five fingers fell the stone wall, making a fluffy sound, which shook Qi An's fingers in pain, and then looked at the stone wall, only a few shallow finger marks appeared, and it was still far from breaking through the stone.

Qi Anxin was shocked, you must know that he is no longer what it used to be, he has opened up all the meridians and acupoints, and the whole body is full of energy, no matter where he exerts his strength, it is the convergence of the strength of the whole body, in the case of full strength, the power of the instant explosion is estimated to be more than a thousand catties, even the fat man who is good at protecting himself and defending himself in the sand bandit can't bear it, and he will still be caught, but at this time, he can't help this seemingly ordinary mountain stone.

"Hell yes!"

Qi comforted the stone wall, except for being a little cold, he didn't feel anything special, so he shook his head helplessly, swam along the stone wall to the side, and swam for twenty or thirty zhang before he waved his palm again and hit the stone wall. This time he didn't dare to scratch it, after all, the pain in his five fingers had not completely recovered, so he just used his palm strength to test the hardness of the stone wall, and as expected, he could only leave a shallow palm print.
