Chapter 13: Burning incense
Yuan Ming saw that his fingers were fine, so he ignored them and reached out to get the incense burner.
At this moment, the last spark on the black incense was completely extinguished, and a hazy light lit up, and his fingers actually passed directly through the incense burner.
In the next moment, the green pottery incense burner completely disappeared, turning into a streamer of light and flying into the arm mark.
Yuan Ming's pupils shrank, and his consciousness, which was still a little dazed, instantly sobered up.
He lifted his right arm, only to see that the cyan mark reappeared, but it didn't shine again.
Yuan Ming stroked the imprint with his fingers, and the memory of incarnating as a young emperor not long ago began to come to mind bit by bit.
"It seems that this incense burner only sent me to the young emperor for a period of time, and as soon as the time limit is up, it will return to the main body immediately." He thought about it for a moment, and his heart was a little abrupt.
This experience is very novel, Yuan Ming is young and enthusiastic, and he can't help but want to experience it again.
It's a pity that he doesn't have the slightest mana in his body, and he can't summon the incense burner.
"Although the incense burner experience is mysterious, the most important thing at the moment is to cultivate enough mana and perform the wool technique!" Yuan Ming settled down, put aside the idea of playing, sat cross-legged, and was about to run the Blood Qi Method.
"My cultivation of the Blood Qi Method is too slow to enter the realm, and the jade pot old Taoist boasted that the speed of accumulating mana in the Nine Yuan Technique is extremely fast, so it is better to give it a try." A thought popped into his mind.
It's just that the Nine Yuan Jue and the Blood and Qi Method are two completely different exercises, and the mana cultivated by this skill, I don't know if it can be used to perform the Fur Technique?
"No matter, let's try it first."
Yuan Ming made up his mind, slowly closed his eyes, and began to carefully recall the content of the Nine Yuan Formula, and chanted silently in his heart.
After a while, he only felt that all the acupuncture points in his body slowly opened, and the external aura slowly infiltrated along the opened acupoints, turning into a trace of heat flowing in the eight veins of the Qi Sutra.
"The Nine Yuan Jue can actually use all the acupuncture points in the body to absorb the aura of heaven and earth at the same time!" Yuan Ming was surprised and delighted.
The blood qi method can only communicate with the outside world with several easy-to-control acupuncture points such as springs on the soles of the feet and a number of easy-to-control acupoints such as the top of the head.
Yuan Ming continued to meditate and breathe in the aura of heaven and earth.
At first, these spiritual qi only gradually penetrated, but as he continued to run Zhou Tian, the speed of the spiritual energy entering the body gradually increased, and the whole process was unhindered, and it was extremely enjoyable.
Gradually, the aura in the eight veins of the Qi Meridian gathered more and more, gradually filling the meridians and becoming a little swollen.
Yuan Ming didn't know if this situation was normal, so he could only continue to operate the Nine Yuan Jue, trying to straighten out these spiritual qi, and soon formed a clear flow of spiritual energy, which was completely different from the air flow of the blood qi method.
He manipulated the aura to flow through his body for a week, and finally sank into the dantian.
Whether it is the Nine Yuan Jue or the Blood Qi Method, the basic essence is the same, the absorbed spiritual energy runs in the body for a week, and then sinks to the dantian and transforms it into mana.
Yuan Ming stared at the flow of spiritual power tightly, for fear that it would overflow again.
However, his worries did not appear, and the spiritual power flowed through the bottleneck of the dantian and entered the dantian.
"So easily?" Yuan Ming was pleasantly surprised.
The problem of cultivating the Blood Qi Method that had plagued him for half a month had now been quietly resolved.
All of this is the effect of the Nine Yuan Jue, this exercise is a real cultivation method, and the grade is definitely far superior to the Blood Qi Method, and it can even be said that the two are not at the same level at all.
"No wonder that the old Taoist of the jade pot has such a high regard for the Nine Yuan Jue." Yuan Ming said secretly.
What he didn't know was that this "Nine Yuan Jue" was the top introductory cultivation method of the Changchun Guan of the Great Jin Kingdom in the Central Plains, even if it was an ordinary inner disciple of the Changchun Guan, he might not have the opportunity to get a glimpse of it, and his guidance and attainments for the cultivation of the maze were far from being comparable to the ordinary exercises in southern Xinjiang such as the "Blood and Qi Law".
Yuan Ming took a deep breath and continued to run the exercises, and the aura condensed in the dantian suddenly became a little restless, like a wild horse that had escaped from the leash, and there were some signs of indiscriminate collision.
He immediately remembered the sentence "God enters the Taixu Garden, and the intention is to guard the Dantian Palace", and immediately gathered all his mental consciousness and focused his attention on the dantian position.
After a while, the aura in the dantian became very hot, and there was a vague feeling that it was about to burn.
Yuan Ming didn't panic, he had already said when the Jade Pot Dao Elder pointed him out earlier, this feeling was a sign that he was about to turn spiritual energy into mana.
He immediately accelerated the chanting of the Nine Yuan Formula in his heart, assisting the scorching aura to break through the shackles, and soon completed the final transformation, turning into a slightly cool mana.
"The Nine Yuan Jue is also much better than the Blood Qi Method in terms of condensing mana." Yuan Ming was amazed.
He didn't continue to cultivate, but transferred the mana he had just condensed to his fingers, and without hesitation, he clicked on the cyan mark on his right arm.
Everything that happened to him today was caused by this mysterious incense burner, especially when he obtained the Nine Yuan Jue and other anti-heaven exercises by mistake, so he couldn't help but want to summon this incense burner again to see if there could be other adventures.
As he expected, the mark once again emitted a suction force, engulfing the trace of mana, and the blue light flashed on the mark, and the mysterious incense burner appeared out of thin air.
Seeing this scene, Yuan Ming breathed a sigh of relief.
Now he was basically sure that the cyan incense burner was not a one-time consumable, the cyan mark was formed after the incense burner was attached to his body, and it could be summoned with a little injection of mana
He looked at the incense burner in his hand happily, and suddenly sighed softly.
The rest of the cyan incense burner was the same as before, except that the Tai Chi pattern on it was dull and not as shining as before.
Yuan Ming raised his eyebrows, groped for a Tai Chi pattern, and even used mana to inject it into it, but the Tai Chi pattern did not occur abnormally.
"It seems that this Taiji diagram involves a certain mechanism of the incense burner." He said secretly in his heart, and then looked away and looked at the two black incense sticks in the incense burner, with a deep groan on his face.
According to the previous situation, if you light these two black incense sticks, you can travel through space and possess a certain person, and there are only two incense sticks left, which means that he has two more opportunities to shuttle and possess others.
It's just that this incense burner is mysterious and attached to him, and if he can't grasp the whole picture, he really can't rest assured.
After weighing it for a long time, Yuan Ming gritted his teeth and raised the fire again, lit a piece of cloth, and brought it close to the black incense stick of the incense burner.
This time, he lit one of the two long incense sticks.
However, despite the flames, the black incense did not have the slightest tendency to ignite.
"What's the matter, it was so easy to light it before." Yuan Ming frowned, and brought the burning cloth close to another long black incense, which could not be lit either.
"It's strange, could it be that this incense burner needs to meet a certain condition before it can light incense and shuttle?" He muttered to himself, his gaze suddenly falling on the dim Yin Yang Tai Chi pattern.
"Maybe you need to light incense when the Tai Chi pattern is bright?" Yuan Ming secretly guessed.
Other than this reason, he couldn't think of any other possibility, but he had no idea how to make the Tai Chi pattern light up.
"Gollum ......"
His stomach throbbed, and a strong hunger rushed over him, interrupting his thoughts.
"Forget it, this incense burner is indeed very mysterious, and it is unrealistic to find out for a while, so let's talk about it later." Yuan Ming shook his head, no longer in vain.
He holds the incense burner in his hand and considers how to incorporate it into his body.
This incense burner had returned to his right arm on its own before, and he had not yet comprehended the method of harvesting the tripod.
As soon as this thought came to him, the cyan incense burner suddenly became transparent, turned into a cloud of cyan light and shadow, and returned to his right arm, forming that mark.
"Sure enough, it's a treasure." Yuan Ming's face was overjoyed, and he became more and more convinced that this incense burner was a rare treasure.
It's just that no matter how powerful the treasure is, it can't solve the problem of hunger.
He got up and went into the cave, and took out a piece of animal skin, which was covered with five or six wild fruits, which were leftovers from the previous meal.
The meat in the cave has been eaten, and he still can't perform the draping technique, and it is too dangerous to go out of the cave to forage for food, so he can only rely on these wild fruits to barely sacrifice to the Five Organs Temple.
"Be sure to practice the feather technique before you finish eating the fruit!" Yuan Ming secretly made up his mind, took a fruit and devoured it, and his hunger stopped for a while.
Without the slightest delay, he immediately sat down cross-legged and operated the Nine Yuan Jue.
The nearby heaven and earth aura gathered and rolled into his body from all over the acupoints, and the mana in the dantian began to condense again.
Five days have passed in the blink of an eye.
Yuan Ming sat cross-legged in the cave, his whole person looked a little haggard, and his lips were white and chapped.
At his age, it was the time to grow his body, how could he eat enough wild fruit a day, and he could only barely survive, but fortunately, the cultivation of the Nine Yuan Jue was surprisingly smooth.
The spiritual energy of heaven and earth continued to gather from all directions, entering the meridians from the acupoints around the body, and then running according to the route of the Nine Yuan Jue, transforming into a trace of mana.
The mana in the dantian converged into wisps, slowly flowing, and after half a day, a small whirlpool was formed.
"A mana cyclone has finally formed." Yuan Ming was overjoyed.
According to what Elder Huhuo said before, condensing the mana cyclone means that the mana has a small foundation and can perform the mana technique.
Yuan Ming opened his eyes, and couldn't wait to drape the skin of the white ape on his waist, pinch and recite the mantra, urging the mantra of the coat technique that Elder Huhuo had taught earlier.
As he cast the spell, a trace of white light flashed on the white ape's skin, and then it covered his body as if it had come to life, and blood-colored lines like roots and whiskers emerged from the inside of the ape's skin and pierced into his body.
Yuan Ming clenched his fists, barely holding back the pain of pins and needles all over his body.
However, as Elder Huhuo had said before, the pain of the Fur Technique had been reduced a lot by casting the spell himself.
The white ape skin quickly covered Yuan Ming's whole body and turned into a white ape, and a powerful force filled his body.
Yuan Ming looked at the furry appearance on his body, and let out a breath in his mouth.
After twenty days, he finally relied on himself to perform the mantle again, and with the power of self-preservation, he was no longer a weak existence without strength.
It's just that he has been hungry for several days, his body is weak and weak, and the surging power in his body is much smaller than before.
But Yuan Ming didn't care too much about this, he was already satisfied with being able to accumulate enough mana in five days and perform the draping technique.
