Chapter 152 Check and fill in the gaps, the true solution of the sword
(Chapter 151 has been lifted, there is important information)
……
Such a strange and strong feeling was born in his body, which made Meng Zhou's heart awe-inspiring.
Without much thought, he wanted to take it back into the dantian again, and thought in his heart that he couldn't take it out rashly until he figured out the reason.
At this moment, a strange scene happened.
This drop of "living essence essence" taken out of the dantian did not return to the dantian as he thought, but was "cut off" by the dantian.
When the essence of the soul was about to enter the dantian, a strong feeling of hunger suddenly came out of the dantian, which was very similar to the "emotion" coming out of the palm of the hand just now.
Then, the dantian directly swallowed this drop of "living spirit marrow" in one gulp, and before Meng Zhou could make a further reaction, the strong and strange vitality contained in this drop of living spirit essence quickly spread throughout the dantian meridians and completely integrated into it.
In an instant, a strange feeling arose in Meng Zhou's heart.
Originally, the dantian meridians that were complete and comprehensive were missing, but at this moment, in his heart, there were many cracks and missing.
What's even more amazing is that Meng Zhou can still vaguely feel what method should be used to fill this gap.
Meng Zhou closed his eyes and carefully sensed the changes brought about by this drop of soul essence, and then opened his eyes and looked at the strange changes that had occurred in the personal information.
I saw that in the [Talent] item, the other information has not changed, only the original "White Lotus Spirit Body (Defective)" has become the current "White Lotus Spirit Body 45% (+)".
Meng Zhou's gaze swept over the large number of consummation skills, and the others were indifferent, but he had a special sense of six of them.
Among these six skills, four of them are all second-order, which are "Consummation of Defilement", "Consummation of Japanese Wind Technique", "Consummation of Ascension Pill", and "Consummation of Life Extension Pill".
There are also two first-order, "Pei Yuan Dan Consummation" and "Realm Breaking Dan Consummation".
Among them, the induction of the first-order "Peiyuan Dan Consummation" is the strongest, followed by the first-order "Realm Breaking Pill Consummation", the second-order "Ascension Pill Consummation", the second-order "Longevity Dan Consummation", the second-order "Defilement Technique Consummation", and the second order "Harmony Technique Consummation".
"The strongest sense of Pei Yuan Dan is because compared to several other skills, this skill has the highest compatibility with the White Lotus Spirit Body?"
Meng Zhou thought for a moment and decided to follow the guidance of induction and focus his consciousness on the first-order skill of "Pei Yuan Dan Consummation".
Soon, the soul pool showed the true form of Pei Yuan Dan's consummation, and there was just the right amount of attraction in the dantian.
Under this attraction, Pei Yuan Dan's consummation skill true form disappeared into the soul pool and merged into the dantian.
With this change, the value of "White Lotus Spirit 45% (+)" increased by two percentage points to "White Lotus Spirit 47% (+)".
Then, Meng Zhou focused his attention on the "Realm Breaking Pill Consummation", and soon, another true form was attracted by the dantian and turned into the dantian meridians.
This time, Meng Zhou could clearly sense that the attraction from the dantian area had weakened a lot.
"Is the fit decreasing, or is the effect of that drop of spirit essence weakened?" Meng Zhou thought in his heart.
And with the integration of this true form into the dantian meridians, the White Lotus Spirit Body also went further, increasing from 47% to 48%, an increase of one percentage point.
Compared with the progress provided by Pei Yuan Dan, it has been reduced.
Meng Zhou had a lot of speculation in his heart, but there was too little evidence, and it could only be speculation, so he decided to continue.
Therefore, Meng Zhou aimed at the second-order "Ascension Pill Consummation".
As the true form of this skill appeared in the soul pool, and was attracted by the attraction emanating from the dantian, the true form once again melted into the dantian meridians.
The White Lotus Spirit Body was able to go one step further, increasing from "48%" to "52%", another four percentage points.
"The progress of fusion is related to the level of fit, and it is also related to the skill level."
Meng Zhou thought so in his heart.
And with the integration of this skill's true form, Meng Zhou's special sense of the remaining consummation skills also disappeared.
His consciousness was once again focused on the consummation of the "Longevity Pill", "Defilement Technique", and "Harmony Technique", and their true forms were also manifested in the Soul Pool, but the Dantian meridians became "indifferent" and no longer exuded a special attraction.
In the personal information, the (+) behind the White Lotus Spirit also disappeared.
"The compatibility between these skills and the White Lotus Spirit Body is far from reaching the level that can be automatically attracted like the Myogenic Technique, and it must be assisted by special spiritual objects such as the Soul Essence to increase the attraction.
And the special effect of the essence of the soul will also be continuously weakened in the process until it disappears. ”
Meng Zhou analyzed in his heart.
"When the great realm is broken, the state of life presents a brief opening from the closed, and during this period, the state of life is most likely to be interfered with and rewritten."
"The effect of this living spirit essence is to forcibly cut a hole from this closed state of life with the help of the action of special spirit objects in ordinary times?"
"However, compared to what can be done by breaking through the Great Realm, this method is more restricted."
It is worth mentioning that this strange change is brought about by the essence of the soul itself, and has nothing to do with Meng Zhou's panel plug-in.
Before viewing personal information, Meng Zhou already had a similar perception, but that perception was more vague and did not have such a clear data presentation.
Personal information is just a more accurate and quantitative representation of the changes brought about by the essence of life.
Combined with his own experience and the "reminder" of personal information, Meng Zhou's thoughts flew around, and all kinds of insights were presented in his heart.
"The second-order Spring Water Sutra has broken through from the grandmaster to the consummation, and the inherent innate ability of this exercise has transformed from 'Soul Dew' to 'Soul Marrow'."
"On the basis of inheriting all the abilities of the 'Soul Dew' and further sublimating it, the 'Soul Marrow' also has a new and meaningful ability."
After thinking about it, Meng Zhou called this ability "checking and filling in the gaps".
Meng Zhou felt it carefully, and he could clearly feel that compared to before the fusion of the three consummation true forms this time, the innate ability of the White Lotus Spirit Body had improved significantly.
Meng Zhou looked at the other two drops of unused soul essence in the depths of the dantian, and wanted to continue, experiencing how far the white lotus spirit would be "repaired" after integrating the remaining three skills into their true forms.
But soon, Meng Zhou restrained this curiosity.
Instead, he took another drop in his hand, and felt that after the palm came into contact with the spirit dew, the instinctive hunger felt again, Meng Zhou did not resist anymore, but let this drop of life essence melt into the palm of his hand, and quickly spread all over his limbs.
He now knew that this hunger did not come from the palm of his hand or from a part of his body, but from the mutual attraction of the mutilated spirit to the marrow of the living being.
This powerful attraction, like a magnet encountering iron, does not really possess an uncontrolled consciousness in the palm.
After understanding this, Meng Zhou breathed a long sigh of relief in his heart.
And as this drop of life dew dispersed into his limbs, his body, which originally felt perfect, suddenly gave him a feeling of patchwork and leaking wind everywhere.
It's like a broken porcelain bowl that has been forcibly put together, not only the traces of the patchwork are clearly visible, but there are also a lot of missing, which looks very unbearable.
In personal information, this change is reflected in the fact that "Variety Spirits (Broken)" has become "Variety Spirits 61%(+)".
Among the large number of consummation skills, Meng Zhou had a special sense of many consummation skills at this moment.
Among them, it is the most inch-step, followed by the transformation technique, the transformation technique, the flying recognition technique, the flying escape technique, the earth escape technique, the water escape technique, the shadow escape technique, as well as the stealth technique, the stealth technique, the lock technique, and the acacia technique.
In a way, compared to the purer "White Lotus Spirit", the "Variety Spirit" was originally a bit of a hodgepodge.
At the beginning, it was a mutilated form that forcibly fused more than a dozen consummate martial arts.
Then, it successively integrated a number of second-order perfection skill true forms, including the Imperial Technique, the Armor Shield Technique, the Innate Three Absolute Hands, the Roar of the Peaks, and the Angry Ape Overlord.
Because of this, after the incomplete Variety Spirit Body was digitized, the integrity was higher than that of the White Lotus Spirit Body, and it had a higher degree of compatibility with it, which made him have a lot of skills that gave birth to special inductions in his heart.
Following the induction in his heart, Meng Zhou first integrated the true form of an inch into his body.
The number of Variant Spirits increased by four percentage points, from "61%" to "65%".
Then, Meng Zhou integrated the Transfiguration True Form into it, and the integrity of the Hundred Changing Spirit Body increased by another three percentage points, from "65%" to "68%".
With these two fusions, the "+" disappeared, and the effect of this drop of life essence was exhausted.
"Although the White Lotus Spirit Body has been fused three times, two of them are first-order skill true forms, and the progress provided is smaller."
"Just looking at the improvement rate, the effect of a drop of life essence is the same, and it has increased by seven percentage points."
"The effects of different skill forms are also different, and it should be related to the fit.
…… However, there are too few observations, and these are just speculations. ”
Thinking in his heart, Meng Zhou looked at the last drop of life essence in the dantian.
Where this last drop went, Meng Zhou already had the answer in his heart.
Since the Hundred Variety Spirit Body and the White Lotus Spirit Body have been digitized through the Spirit Marrow, of course, this last drop will be "fed" to the Innate Sword Body.
But—
"How can I accurately 'feed' this drop of life essence to the Innate Sword Body?"
Thinking in his heart, a long sword appeared in Meng Zhou's hand.
It was a hand-held magic sword he had made out of steel-scale wood.
When he held it in his hand and concentrated his consciousness on the junction between the palm and the hilt of the sword, gradually, Meng Zhou felt as if his consciousness had entered the long sword in his hand, extending towards the sword body little by little.
In the end, his consciousness seemed to be focused on the tip of the sword.
It was also in this process that Meng Zhou gradually grasped another hidden spirit body in his body that was different from the "White Lotus Spirit Body" and "Hundred Variety Spirit Body".
Compared to these two spirits, it was hidden deeper, and it was more faint, and it was more difficult for him to grasp in daily life.
A drop of living spirit essence disappeared from the depths of the dantian and appeared in front of Meng Zhou, who gently tapped it with the tip of his sword.
The moment the essence of the creature came into contact with the tip of the sword, it was like being drawn into an invisible straw and quickly disappeared.
Meng Zhou clearly felt that after this drop of living spirit essence was hit by the tip of the sword, it quickly passed into his palm.
Then, it followed his palm, integrated into his musculoskeletal body, and was also smeared in the dantian meridians.
Soon, the wonderful feeling filled Meng Zhou's heart again.
"Innate Sword Body (Defective)" became "Innate Sword Body 9% (+)"
"No wonder, although the three spirit bodies are all mutilated, this sword body is the most severely mutilated."
Compared to the other two spirit bodies, this sword body has the least swordsmanship skills integrated in the process of cultivating qi to break through the foundation.
At the same time, Meng Zhou had an extremely strong sense of the two swordsmanship techniques of "Shadow Killing Sword Codex" and "Splitting Light and Shadowing".
He didn't resist at all, and he followed this induction, and integrated the two swordsmanship into it.
To Meng Zhou's surprise, the two sword skills had each brought him a 5% increase, and after the two sword skills were integrated, the integrity of the innate sword body had increased by a full ten percentage points.
Although compared to the other two spirits, they are still the most crippled, but they have also made the most progress.
And with the integration of the true form of these two swordsmanship, the "+" disappeared, and the effect of this drop of spiritual essence came to an end.
……
[Talents: Moonmirror Round Light, Heart of Nature, Soul Marrow, Variety Spirit Body 68%, White Lotus Spirit Body 52%, Innate Sword Body 19%]
……
The three drops of life essence condensed during the retreat were all consumed, and Meng Zhou's heart was still unfinished.
In the depths of the dantian, there is a steady stream of rich vitality precipitating from the abundant mana, and a new soul essence is slowly being conceived.
Meng Zhou's heart moved, and he took out the sealed spirit jade bottle.
Inside, there were sixteen drops of life lotion stored in it, which had never been used.
He took out a drop and put it back into the dantian.
As soon as this drop of living soul dew entered the dantian, it immediately lost the ability to maintain its intact form, and once again transformed into the mana of the Spring Water Sutra at the perfect level.
At the same time, the condensation speed of the soul essence suddenly accelerated.
Soon, one-tenth drop of the spiritual essence was born in the depths of the dantian.
"Feasible!" When Meng Zhou saw this, his heart was happy.
Hurry up and put more life dew back into the dantian.
When the tenth drop of the soul dew returned to the dantian, a complete drop of the essence of the soul had condensed in the dantian again.
The rich vitality contained in the mana began to condense the second drop of the spirit essence next to this drop of soul marrow.
After observing for a while, Meng Zhou had a judgment in his heart.
Without using mana for high-frequency cultivation, in a normal time, a drop of life essence can be condensed in about two days.
During the routine retreat, which was also seen for about two days, the essence of the soul could be condensed into three drops.
Meng Zhou weighed it in his heart, looking at the remaining six drops of life spirit dew in the sealed spirit jade bottle, but he did not immediately recycle it into the dantian.
Instead, he came to the gourd-shaped spirit plant and fed it the only drop of complete soul marrow in the dantian.
With the integration of this drop of spirit essence, this spirit plant grew rapidly.
The spiritual vitality contained in it became more active than ever, as if it had returned to the time when it was in the middle and lower grades of the first order.
The seven small gourds hanging from the branches, which were originally only the size of thumbs, quickly expanded and grew larger like balloons.
Finally, when the spiritual vitality inside this spiritual plant stabilized again, all the seven gourds were already the size of two fists of adults, the color was verdant, and the spiritual vitality contained in them.
"Two years."
Meng Zhou quickly had a judgment in his heart.
This drop of Soul Essence saved two years of accumulation of this Spirit Plant in the second-order middle grade, and the effect was much better than ten drops of Soul Dew.
With such a result, Meng Zhou sealed the six drops of the spirit dew in the spirit jade bottle and also included it in the dantian, so that the drop of the spirit essence that was still just beginning to take shape had most of its appearance at once.
Knowing that the essence of the living soul was so precious, Meng Zhou still chose to use this spiritual plant, but it was because of a consideration in his heart.
This is also the reason why he chose this spirit plant to cultivate alone in the first place.
In ordinary times, at each retreat, the speed at which the essence of the soul condenses varies greatly.
What Meng Zhou knew more definitely was that in the retreat of the old and the new every year, when winter and spring came, the vitality contained in the Spring Water Sutra would be far beyond the ordinary period.
The condensation speed of the essence of the soul will inevitably far exceed that of the ordinary period of retreat.
And one thing that has been verified is that the "living soul dew" in the dantian is limited.
Once the number reaches the upper limit that the dantian can hold, no new life dew will be born.
Meng Zhou guessed that although the Spirit Dew was sublimated into the Spirit Marrow, this point should be common, and the amount of Life Spirit Marrow that could be accommodated in the dantian at the same time was limited.
Once saturation is reached, no new essence will be born.
In the past, there was no living essence.
Now, it would be a shame for him to squander this only opportunity he had once a year.
Therefore, he chose to "invest" in this spirit plant first to fundamentally solve this pain point.
……
After dealing with matters related to the essence of life, Meng Zhou put these things aside for the time being and continued to cultivate by dividing mountains and seas.
Before this retreat, the art of swordsmanship was on the verge of breaking through.
Therefore, it didn't take much time, and this sword art completed the breakthrough from the grandmaster to the consummation.
As this imperial sword art reaches its knees, its unique true form manifests itself in the soul pool, revealing its unique qualities.
For this nascent true form of swordsmanship, the "Innate Sword Body" did not have the slightest reaction.
The doubts that had arisen in Meng Zhou's heart when he integrated into the true form of the two swordsmanship of "Shadow Killing Sword Codex" and "Splitting Light and Shadowing" came up again at this moment.
"In terms of fit, these swordsmanship and innate sword bodies should have reached the level of automatic attraction."
"But why is there no response?"
"Could it be that the integrity of the innate sword body is too poor, and the foundation itself is unstable?"
Meng Zhou had some speculations in his heart, and he felt that the biggest possibility should be that the innate sword body itself was too "weak".
Although they were both mutilated spirits, compared to the other two, this one was extremely badly damaged.
Magnets certainly have a strong attraction to iron, but if the magnet itself is too small, the attraction will not be great.
Because of this consideration, Meng Zhou's next schedule became clear.
Sitting under the eaves of the house, in the midst of the rising fragrance of tea, Meng Zhou had an extra jade slip in his hand.
"The True Solution of Kendo: Building the Foundation"
This is the inheritance of the Danqi Sect for the foundation building of the natal magic weapon is the flying sword, which is just right for the current Meng Zhou.
In this jade slip, there is no record of specific sword techniques such as shadow killing sword codex, splitting light and turning shadows, and cutting mountains and seas.
But after carefully reading through it, Meng Zhou believed that there was actually a huge amount of second-order swordsmanship hidden in it.
It's just that they are all "hidden" very deeply.
The three second-order swordsmanship he had cultivated before were like three gems that were clearly displayed in front of him, and if he wanted to get them, all he had to do was walk to the corresponding gem and bend down to pick it up.
And "Kendo True Solution" is like a treasure mountain, the only thing that is sure is that there are many treasures buried in it, but where exactly it is buried, what is buried, it is up to each person who enters the treasure mountain to dig it himself.
This excavation does not depend on luck, but on the sensitivity of kendo.
For Meng Zhou, although he was still a long way from a complete innate sword body, even a broken sword body was enough for him to rank among the sword path geniuses at the foundation level.
The cultivation of the three second-order swordsmanship to perfection is his best "treasure hunting tool".
……
The true understanding of kendo is divided into two articles.
One is the "Edgeworth" and the other is the "Sword".
The Edgeworth chapter is divided into two parts.
The first part explains in detail all the basic edgeworth postures, stabbing, slashing, splitting, picking, teasing, stirring, sealing, pointing, collapsing, intercepting, hanging, clouding, wiping...... Wait a minute.
In the second part, all the swordsmanship in the foundation building stage is summarized in three specific frames.
"Edgeworth Silk", "Edgeworth Rainbow", "Edgeworth Gas".
After careful consideration, Meng Zhou suddenly found that the Shadow Killing Sword Book could be put into the framework of "Imperial Sword Silk".
Whether it is splitting light and turning shadows, or cutting mountains and seas, the two imperial sword techniques are all under the framework of "Imperial Sword Rainbow".
The reason why it presents such a different effect is that it needs to be understood together with reference to the "Sword of Meaning".
If you talk about the content of the Edgeworth chapter, it all revolves around the core of "flying sword".
Then the Yijian chapter is just the opposite, completely detached from the specific "flying sword".
The core of the sword chapter is to teach people to understand the "meaning" - the true meaning of the sword.
The true meaning of kendo is never an ethereal thing, but a practitioner's perception of everything on the path of travel, expressed through the specific carrier of the sword.
The true meaning of kendo is never confined to any form, and everything that is felt can be expressed.
If the "Yijian Chapter" and the "Imperial Sword Chapter" are all understood thoroughly, any second-order imperial sword technique can be easily dismantled and look directly at its core essence.
From now on, if you cultivate any second-order sword technique, you can catch it at your fingertips.
Not only that, but you can also create a sword art that perfectly suits your own desires according to your own needs.
Of course, this difficulty is far higher than cultivating a specific second-order imperial sword technique.
However, if in the process of cultivating the second-order sword technique, it is mutually confirmed with the true understanding of this sword path, then not only will the mastery of this sword art be faster, but this rapid progress will also in turn accelerate the cultivator's understanding of the essence of the sword.
Referring to this true understanding of the way of the sword, Meng Zhou has a huge advantage, that is, the three swordsmanship that have been cultivated to perfection by him.
He can freely disassemble and combine the three perfect swordsmanship of Shadow Killing, Splitting Light and Shadow, and Cutting Mountains and Seas, which can be mutually corroborated with the true understanding of the way of the sword, and accelerate his absorption of the essence of it.
In this kind of contemplation, time flies.
October 20th, late at night.
Meng Zhou interrupted his understanding of the true understanding of the way of the sword, and before entering the ashram to prepare for the routine retreat, he moved to the side of the gourd spirit plant.
At this moment, in the depths of his dantian, there are already five drops of living spirit essence, and the sixth drop of living spirit essence has also taken on eighty percent appearance.
Meng Zhou took out a drop and fed it to this spirit plant.
In an instant, this spiritual plant began to grow rapidly, but the seven gourds no longer continued to grow larger, but the spirituality contained in them became more and more intense, and the color became darker and darker.
At a certain moment, the spiritual vitality inside the entire spiritual plant changed abruptly.
This spirit plant, which was only a second-order mid-grade spirit plant a moment ago, had been upgraded to the quality of a second-order upper grade.
After the promotion, although it is still growing rapidly, the speed is much lower than that of the second-order middle grade.
It didn't take long for the spiritual vitality within it to stabilize again.
Meng Zhou observed it carefully, and then successively threw in four drops of life essence.
Every drop of the spirit essence can help this spirit plant complete a year's accumulation at the second-order level.
With the complete four drops of life essence absorbed by it, this spirit plant is infinitely close to complete maturity.
At the time of the second-order middle grade, the seven gourds, which were constantly turning dark green in color, turned into a mysterious and deep dark green.
The majestic spiritual vitality is becoming more and more restrained.
Looking at this spirit plant, which was only one step away from complete maturity, Meng Zhou estimated in his heart that without the help of the Spirit Dew and the Spirit Marrow, it would take a full sixteen years for it to go from the Spirit Seed to complete maturity.
That's long enough time for a croaking baby to grow into a croaking baby.
Thinking like this in his heart, Meng Zhou took out the drop of the living essence in the dantian that had not yet been completely formed, and threw it into it again.
As the spiritual vitality inside the spiritual plant once again swelled like a wave, when it stabilized again, the plant that had stood tall a moment ago was withering at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The spiritual vitality contained in the spiritual plant is rapidly being swallowed up by the seven gourd whales.
As the last trace of spiritual vitality dissipated, with a "bang", the plants collapsed, and seven gourds fell to the ground, and Meng Zhou reached out to catch them all.
His divine sense scanned back and forth over the seven gourds, and finally, he chose the best one among them.
The other six were all included in the jade volute by him.
This gourd is called the Nakong gourd. It is a natural storage magic weapon, the internal space is very huge, and it has the effect of sealing the soul.
Unlike other storage equipment, it can be placed in other storage spaces like nesting dolls.
These alone determine its value.
For it, this is only the most basic function, and its real value lies in the fact that it is innate, as long as it has not been sacrificed by others, it has a very high degree of compatibility with any monk.
Although it is not to the level of a natal magic weapon, it can be easily included in the dantian sea of knowledge after the sacrifice.
Call it out at any time when you need it, you can not only store the enemy's magic weapon spell attacks, but also install some poisonous gadgets and release them in time.
Meng Zhou took a fancy to this, and he used his divine sense to quickly complete the sacrifice of the empty gourd in his hand and put it into the dantian.
Looking at the extra gourd in the dantian, Meng Zhou's mind moved, and the gourd exuded a little suction, absorbing a little mana from the surrounding area, and then spit out this bit of mana as he wished.
Seeing that it responded like this, Meng Zhou nodded with satisfaction in his heart.
Although it consumed a lot of life essence, in terms of results, it was still worth it.
Hey, every time it's reviewed, it really affects the mood, this plot hasn't been written, and I'll have more tomorrow.
(End of chapter)
