Chapter 4: Idle Cultivation

Putting away his distracting thoughts, Jiang Yan took out a Qi Gathering Pill from the bottle and observed it curiously, because he didn't understand alchemy, he couldn't analyze anything. Without looking at it anymore, Jiang Yan directly threw the pill into his mouth and swallowed it into his stomach without hesitation.

After the pill entered the stomach, the outer layer of the pill membrane was quickly ablated and removed, and the medicinal power inside spread.

The medicinal properties of the Qi Gathering Pill are relatively mild, and the speed of the medicinal effect is not too fast, which is also designed to take care of the relatively low cultivation of the user. Of course, if you want to accelerate the effect of the medicine, it is not impossible, as long as you use your own power to take the initiative to promote the effect of the medicine, but Jiang Yan does not need to do this, the current progress is just right for him.

Because it was the first time to practice in person, Jiang Yan's attitude was still very serious. He sat cross-legged, calmed down, and consciously sensed a faint airflow in his body, which was the internal force of the acquired martial artist.

After sensing the internal force, Jiang Yan began to conscientiously mobilize these internal forces according to the method recorded in the "Xuanshui Jue" cultivated by his predecessor, and began to operate and flow along the two meridian routes that had been opened.

Thanks to inheriting the memory of his predecessor, Jiang Yan, who had crossed over, would not even know the location of the meridians, let alone cultivate his internal strength correctly according to the exercises.

With the operation of the internal force, the medicinal power of the Qi Gathering Pill emitted into the body was attracted, directly into the meridians, and flowed along the exercise route along with the internal force. In this process, it is like a small stream flowing into a big river, which is transformed into pure energy, which is integrated into Jiang Yan's original internal force, making it grow rapidly.

Originally, Jiang Yan's body had stayed in the acquired double for a long time, and the internal force accumulated in the meridians almost met the requirements for promotion, but now with the help of the Qi Gathering Pill, he suddenly broke through that boundary and skyrocketed.

With a bang, Jiang Yan immediately gathered the internal force into a bundle, and stabbed it along the route of the "Xuanshui Jue" exercise, and stabbed it towards a meridian pulse that had not yet been opened.

The meridians of the human body, except for a few physiques, most people are born with closed meridians, and the martial artist cultivates the power of the inner family through the exercises, penetrates the body with internal force, and opens these meridians.

However, it is not easy to open the meridians, and the naturally closed meridians have to be broken away with internal force, and it feels like forcibly tearing the flesh and skin that were originally connected together. The strength of the martial artist's body will become stronger and stronger with the improvement of cultivation, and the same is true for the meridians, the tighter and more stable the meridians, the more difficult it will be to break away, and the pain attached to this impact on the meridians will also be greater, and if the will is not strong, the impact may fail because of the severe pain.

In that case, not only will the internal force that has been accumulated with great difficulty be consumed in vain, but the loser also needs to recuperate well, otherwise it will be easy to damage the foundation and affect the success rate of his next impact. Therefore, when impacting the meridians, it is best to make a single blow and succeed at one time.

Sure enough, as soon as the internal force pierced into the blocked meridian, a sharp pain arose, Jiang Yan secretly inhaled, but his actions did not have the slightest slowness and trembling, and he still rushed into it as before.

Like digging through a tunnel, the internal force rushes forward little by little, and while opening the meridians, it is also rapidly consumed.

However, Jiang Yan was not afraid at all, not to mention that he had already accumulated enough internal power to break through the third meridian, not to mention that this time there was also the medicinal power of the Qi Gathering Pill to help.

There was no accident, the third meridian was smoothly rushed away, and a large amount of internal force poured into it, and began to circulate in it, and after a turn, it was connected with the first two meridians, forming a complete internal force running route of the third layer of the "Xuanshui Jue" exercise.

Jiang Yan used a distracted and multi-purpose way to separate a small part of consciousness to continue to manipulate, and after slowing down the speed of internal force circulation and continuing to operate, the remaining consciousness began to summarize the harvest of this breakthrough.

First of all, in terms of strength, every time a martial artist's cultivation breaks through a stage, both internal strength and physical strength will be enhanced, and here in Jiang Yan, these changes are even more obvious, which is directly reflected in the attribute values.

Calling up his data panel, Jiang Yan checked his changes.

——

Compared with before, in addition to the changes in the level of cultivation and exercises, the data has increased by 0.2 in terms of physical strength, and the energy or internal force has also increased by 0.6.

For a breakthrough in cultivation, the growth of internal force is the most obvious, and the increase in physique is relatively small unless you have cultivated a special body refining technique. And the growth of spiritual strength is very difficult in the acquired stage, in martial arts cultivation, the early and middle stages are mainly to refine the body and practice qi, and only in the later stage of the realm will it involve the cultivation of the spirit.

Jiang Yan's ability to have a spiritual energy of up to 2.2 actually had a lot to do with the fact that he absorbed the soul fragments of his predecessor. If you change to other Acquired Realm martial artists, even if it is the level of the twelfth peak of the Acquired Heaven, the spiritual value can be above 1.2, which is considered to be higher than the excellent level.

Clenched his fists, raised his arm and waved it in the air, rolling up the whirring wind in the room, and after a while, with his precise control ability, Jiang Yan had a specific grasp of the strength after the breakthrough.

Looking up at the sky outside along the window, he found that the night was thick, he simply pulled the quilt, fell asleep, and hit the meridians for the first time, even if he was 100% sure of the whole process, Jiang Yan had been meditating for several hours in a row, and he was a little tired physically and mentally.

It's not early, Luo Li will come to test his results tomorrow, judging from his understanding of the eldest lady, it will inevitably be tossed at that time, so it's better to rest and recover now.

It must be explained that Jiang Yan did not stop cultivating because he rested, but was both sleeping and resting, and also practicing the exercises. His distractions are different from the common understanding of 'multi-purpose', and are more like 'multi-purpose'. For example, right now, most of Jiang Yan's mind has fallen asleep, but some of them are still in a state of wakefulness and activity, constantly working their internal forces to cultivate the third layer of the Xuanshui Jue.

This state is called 'on-hook' if it is described in an online game term.

Through this method of on-hook cultivation, Jiang Yan was able to maintain a state of cultivation all the time when walking, eating, thinking, or even sleeping, and he had several times more cultivation time than others out of thin air. Diligence can make up for shortcomings, even if his qualifications are poor, Jiang Yan is confident that he will not lag behind others.

The night passed.

The next day, Jiang Yan woke up early in the morning on time according to the alarm clock he set. He checked his cultivation, and after calculating, he found that the internal force in the meridians had increased by 0.03 compared to the value before going to bed after last night's uninterrupted cultivation, and at this progress, he should be able to continue to impact the fourth weight of the day after tomorrow in about half a month.

But Jiang Yan was very dissatisfied with this kind of efficiency, even if this kind of progress was a little better than that of ordinary martial artists, he still felt that it was too slow.

His current primary goal was to surpass Luo Li, who had cultivated to the tenth level in the Acquired Heaven Realm, but with the current cultivation progress, it would take at least two years for Jiang Yan to surpass Luo Li in cultivation.

After all, martial arts cultivation and the improvement of the cultivation realm are relatively easy in the early stage, and the later it is, the more difficult it will be. What's more, when Jiang Yan is improving, Luo Li is also improving, Jiang Yan estimates that with the current pace, if he cultivates honestly and diligently, it will take two years to catch up, which is already too little.

However, he didn't have that much patience, so he had to find a way to speed up the progress, and there were only two ways that Jiang Yan could think of.
