Yesterday's visit by Li Qing to the Southern Courtyard was like a dream for Chen Man, and Chen Man knew that his current strength was not enough to collect debts from Li Qing, so he could only endure it for the time being, and practice more desperately.

He Dali didn't sleep all night last night in annoyance, as if the spirit stones that Li Qing owed and didn't pay back were his.

On the contrary, Chen Man, who suffered a dumb loss, slept steadily, and he told He Dali that the sage has clouds, endured the calm for a while, took a step back and opened the sky, how could He Dali not understand this sentence.

When he got up early in the morning, He Dali really went to cut down twenty trees for two people alone, as he said before, while Chen Man rarely sat quietly in the cabin and studied the Vajra Recipe hard.

There was not yet a palm-thick vajra recipe that had been half-flipped by Chen Man, and the more he went to the back, Chen Man only felt that it was becoming more and more obscure, and there seemed to be an extra layer of fog on the book, so that he couldn't read the words on it clearly.

"Alas, it seems that you can't comprehend the rest without the Spirit Gathering Period. Chen Man sighed, closed the blue booklet, got up, walked to the bed, and began to meditate cross-legged.

After closing his eyes, Chen Man followed the method described in the Vajra Formula, and began to abandon his senselessness and devote all his attention to listening, listening to the sound of all things in the world.

Gradually, the aura of the southern courtyard began to gather towards the cabin, and finally formed a cyclone around Chen Man's body, and Chen Man opened all the pores on his body and began to frantically absorb the aura around him.

The Xuanwu scale armor on his right hand also lit up with a slight light, absorbing those spiritual qi at an astonishing speed of three or four times that of Chen Man's own body, and transmitting it into Chen Man's surrounding meridians.

In the dark, Chen Man seemed to see a lake in his body, and after the surrounding spiritual energy was inhaled into his body, it was dispersed to the major meridians, but it would eventually flow into this lake.

This lake is the sea of qi described in the vajra recipe, although it is only a lake now, but one day it will turn into a sea, Chen Man faintly felt that when the sea of qi is truly completed, that is, when he hits the spirit gathering level.

Chen Man wanted to live like a real person in the Refining Weapon Sect, wanted to go to the second floor of the dining room to eat, and wanted to get back what should have belonged to him, all of which became the reason for his crazy cultivation.

The pure aura continued to wash over Chen Man's body, and after half an hour, Chen Man opened his mouth and spit out a mouthful of turbid air, and some filth began to secrete from his body.

When Chen Man was meditating, He Dali came back once, and wanted to ask Chen Man for some lessons on the essence of Xingyi Boxing, but seeing that Chen Man was busy meditating, he didn't bother, and opened the boxing frame in the courtyard alone and pondered it repeatedly.

At this moment, Chen Manzheng was swimming above his sea of qi, and seeing the lake under his feet getting bigger and deeper and deeper, he was also uncontrollable excitement in his heart.

After staring at that sea of qi for a long time, Chen Man seemed to have an epiphany.

Streams of spiritual energy flowed through the meridians around him, but in the end, they all gathered in this lake, which did not correspond to the saying that the sea is inclusive.

Now that he thinks about it, Chen Man finally understands that the big lake where Xuanwu lives, why it has such an atmospheric name as a lake, it turns out that you want to become a demon!

The heart can accommodate hundreds of rivers, and one day the lake can turn into the sea, and you can become a demon!

At this moment, Chen Man suddenly looked up as if he sensed something, and there was an almost transparent diaphragm above his head, and that layer of diaphragm appeared out of thin air, enveloping the entire sea of qi and Chen Man.

Somehow, Chen Man saw that this layer of diaphragm was becoming more and more unpleasant, so he had an idea of breaking the diaphragm, and the sea of qi under his feet seemed to be in line with his heart.

Chen Man just had a thought flashing through his mind, the sea of qi really began to boil and roll, but in a moment, a column of water rose on the surface of the sea, spinning and rushing towards the diaphragm.

When the water column collided with the thin diaphragm, Chen Man's ears suddenly exploded, and his dantian felt as if he had been punched hard.

The water column turned into a splash and fell back into the lake, but the layer of diaphragm was only a ripple, Chen Man knew that this layer of diaphragm was a threshold that he had to cross to become a Gathering Spiritual Cultivator.

Then Chen Man tried to raise the water column from the sea of qi again, to impact the shackles, once there was no gain, again, or in vain, Chen Man finally understood that only when the lake became an ocean, he had enough foundation to impact this pass, and now the aura in the sea of qi is far from enough.

After trying to impact the diaphragm three times but to no avail, Chen Man slowly opened his eyes, and his nose was immediately filled with the fishy smell of filth on his body, which made him frown.

Chen Man got up and got out of bed and walked out of the cabin, and He Dali, who was still practicing Xingyi Quan in the courtyard, saw him come out, and immediately frowned, ignoring the fishy smell of his body, and stubbornly pestered Chen Man to ask some questions that he knew about the moves.

"I said He Manzi, can you let me take a shower first?" Chen Man took a step to the right, widening the distance between him and He Dali, and made an uncomfortable movement when he spoke.

I don't know if He Dali really focused on Xingyi Fist before, and didn't notice the smell around him, or if he really had a tendon missing from his head, and he didn't cover his nose until now.

"Big brother, you can force out the filth that has accumulated in your body all year round, is it already the spirit gathering period?" He Dali pinched his nose and asked angrily, it was not difficult to catch a trace of joy in his eyes.

Chen Man naturally saw that his joy came from the heart, and it was rare to give him a smile, and he compared the index finger and thumb of his right hand to pinch something, "It's fast, it's just a little bit close." ”

Then he added: "You just practice the way I said, and I'll go take a shower first." ”

He Dali naturally agreed, and then Chen Man trotted out of the southern courtyard, and ran along the bluestone-paved mountain road to the Baichuan Lake at the bottom of the mountain, and on the way, he was secretly glad that no one saw him covered in filth.

After he walked out of the South Courtyard, He Dali looked at the gate of the South Courtyard, and also stretched out his index finger and thumb to make a pinching motion, "It's just a little bit close, hehe." ”

Chen Man trotted all the way to Baichuan Lake, the three big characters on the one-person high stone tablet did not change, Chen Man took a look, took off his clothes and plunged into the lake.

A cold and biting chill instantly spread to his whole body, making him shiver beautifully in the lake, and the filth on his body had already dispersed as soon as it touched the lake.

Chen Man was about to start scrubbing the remaining filth on his body, when he suddenly found that the scale armor on the back of his hand had actually begun to absorb the surrounding aura by itself after entering the water, and the speed was only faster than when he was cultivating.

No, to be more precise, it is not the scale armor that is absorbing the aura in the water, but the aura contained in the Baichuan Lake is actively converging towards the scale armor.

The feeling of the sudden increase in strength made Chen Man very intoxicated, and at this moment he didn't care about washing his body, but floated in the lake and began to operate the qi absorption method described in the Vajra Technique.

In this way, not only did he open his acupoint qi to the outside world, but the basalt scale armor on the back of his hand began to take the initiative to cater to the swarming aura in Baichuan Lake.

Chen Man closed his eyes and began to feel the sea of dantian qi, and found that in just such a short time, the aura had more than tripled the size of the lake, which could not be regarded as an ocean.

The ecstasy in his heart was difficult to hide, Chen Man tried to control the lake water to rise again, and rushed directly to the imperceptible diaphragm above his head without saying anything, and once again felt the feeling as if it was about to explode, and then Chen Man was pleasantly surprised to find that the diaphragm was opened a hole.

Although he still failed to break through that line of separation, he was already more effective than when Chen Man was cultivating in the Southern Academy.

Originally, the aura in Baichuan Lake entered Chen Man's body, and some of it was blocked out by the diaphragm, but now it opened a convenient door for the huge aura, making these aura like a heavenly river hanging upside down in the sky, pouring down towards Chen Man's sea of qi that was not yet strong.

The area of the sea of qi was doubled again, and at the same time, Chen Man also felt that his mind was much clearer, and some obscure words behind many vajra recipes were actually enlightened at this moment.

Chen Man, who was full of energy, suddenly smashed his fist on the water, and immediately centered on him, a splash exploded on Baichuan Lake, dozens of meters high, and the sound was terrifying.

"Hahaha, it turns out that this is the feeling of reiki being released, I did it!"

After the splash dispersed, water droplets of different sizes hit Chen Man's body, but Chen Man didn't realize it, just recalling the pleasure brought to him by the punch just now, and laughed excitedly in the lake.

When he and He Manzi were fighting in the cabin, the reason why Li Qing was able to stop the two of them at the same time was because of this half-step spirit gathering to release the spiritual energy.

Chen Man looked at his powerful arms, and he even felt that he couldn't win when he wrestled with He Dali's wrists now.

Although Baichuan Lake seems to have something to do with that scale armor, and is willing to take the initiative to endow Chen Man with aura, Chen Man is also well versed in the truth that greed and chewing too much can not be chewed, and he knows that cultivation should be gradual and gradual, and he can't become a big fat man in one bite.

When he felt that the sea of qi was only half full, he suddenly jumped out of the water and put on his clothes, turned to Baichuan Lake with both hands and fists, and bent down deeply.

"The first time I saw you, Xuanwu gave me a transformation, and the second time I saw you, you helped me cultivate a half-step gathering spirit, these two favors Chen Man remembered in his heart, if I become a strong person in the future, I will definitely help you turn the sea into a demon. ”

Chen Man didn't care whether Baichuan Lake could comprehend what he said, and after saying that, he turned around happily and walked towards the road.

The moment he stepped on the bluestone path, a trace of ripples suddenly appeared in Baichuan Lake, although there was no wind in all directions, the ripples still quickly spread throughout the lake, just like in response to Chen Man's words just now.

Chen Man is now a half-step cultivator, and he proudly walked up the mountain road with a small tune, thinking that the only regret today is that he couldn't see the snake and turtle Xuanwu again.
