Chapter 12: The Fourfold Refining Body

"Without cultivation resources, it is too difficult to quickly improve one's cultivation, and without the protection of the sect, if you want to obtain cultivation resources by yourself, you must first have a certain amount of self-protection ability......

Thinking of this, Li Qingming couldn't help but sigh, feeling quite helpless in his heart.

Compared with the previous life, he is now like a white swan in the clouds, a toad falling into the mire, and it is not an exaggeration to describe him as different.

However, there is no way to do it, so I can only come step by step, wait until the strength is stronger, and then leave here to find a greater opportunity.

With a plan in his heart, Li Qingming calmed down again and worked hard to cultivate, but what made him feel helpless was that it took him three days to fill the true qi in the sea of qi, and this result had exceeded his previous expectations.

Although the capacity of his Qi Sea was several times that of others, the speed at which he absorbed the aura of heaven and earth was also several times that of others, and the two were enough to make up for each other.

There is only one most important factor, that is, in the surrounding world, the speed at which aura is born is quite slow, even if it is affected by the law of speed, which makes the time required for aura recovery in this small courtyard where he is located shorter, it is still far from keeping up with his cultivation speed.

The cultivation environment of each great world is divided into three levels: spiritual land, holy land, and divine land, according to regional differences.

The sacred land is invisible, and it is generally hidden in a small world protected by the gods, which is where the gods once lived, which can be described as rare.

And the holy land is also rare, most of them have been occupied by the forces of the various major sects, and only the spiritual land is more common, almost all of the five continents in the Kunlun realm.

Of course, even if it is a spiritual land, there are good and bad ones, and they are roughly divided into four categories: inferior spiritual soil, medium spiritual soil, superior spiritual soil, and superb spiritual soil.

Relatively speaking, the consumption and birth of the spiritual energy of the inferior spiritual land heaven and earth are basically in a delicate state of balance.

However, the aura of heaven and earth is not only the exclusive resource of martial arts monks, all spiritual things in heaven and earth must grow with the help of aura, so a low-grade spiritual land can rarely cultivate a top martial arts genius.

The balance of heaven and earth aura is controlled by the laws and order of the Heavenly Dao, and once this balance is broken, the Heavenly Dao will send down a punishment to try to reverse this change and return it to the right path.

However, if this equilibrium is completely broken, the laws and order between heaven and earth will be abandoned by the Heavenly Dao, thus giving birth to variables, and even extraordinary beings can be born.

Just like from ancient times to the present, the end of every great era symbolizes a variable in the way of heaven, the former has been forgotten in the long river of history, while the latter has taken advantage of the general trend to rise and create another glorious great era.

"Could it be that in the low-grade spiritual land of the Black Water Monarchy, there is about to be some great spiritual object that will affect the balance of the Heavenly Dao?"

Li Qingming pondered for a long time, and came to such a conclusion in his heart, even he felt incredible.

After all, existences that can affect the balance of the Heavenly Dao are definitely anti-heavenly things.

After a long time, Li Qingming's mood gradually calmed down, no matter whether there will be a peerless spiritual object born, for him, the most urgent thing now is to work hard to improve his cultivation, only in this way, it is possible to get some opportunities in the upcoming variables of heaven and earth.

Calm down, Li Qingming continued to cultivate, at this moment, his sea of qi was already in a full state, as soon as he ran the Great Sage Tongtian Technique, a roar sounded in his body, the true qi in the sea of qi, like a lake bursting its embankment, suddenly opened a gap, and the true qi was like a lake, all gathered into the gap, and rushed out in an instant.

Li Qingming didn't dare to be careless, hurriedly controlled his true qi, and began to impact the meridians located in his right arm according to the method recorded in the Great Sage Tongtian Technique.

If Li Qingming's sea of qi is compared to a lake, then the meridians in the body are the outlets of the lake, full of true qi, impacting the meridians, as if opening a channel to the outside world, once the true qi can circulate in the meridians, it can be manifested as a supernatural power through martial arts, which can produce infinite changes and power.

"Bang!"

In the meridians, there was a muffled sound, which was the sound of the acupuncture points located on the meridians, forcibly penetrated by the true qi.

Immediately afterwards, there was a series of muffled sounds of "bang bang bang", and the twelve points located in the meridians of the right arm were opened up one after another, and the true qi poured into the palm, as if an invisible force was reviving from the palm.

This is a sign that the meridians are completely connected, that is to say, by opening up this meridian on his arm, Li Qingming's martial arts cultivation has officially stepped into the fourfold realm of body refining, and he can truly begin to cultivate martial arts.

And breaking through to the fourfold refining body, the acupoints located on the meridians are completely opened, and they can absorb the true qi of the martial arts to nourish the body, strengthen the muscles, bones and blood, and even if they don't deliberately cultivate, they will always improve their physique.

After a while, when the meridians were completely stabilized, Li Qingming tried to operate the true qi and enter the meridians of his right arm, and in just an instant, he felt that his entire arm was filled with powerful power.

Moreover, he could even clearly feel that the twelve points in the meridians of his right arm were constantly absorbing the true qi in the sea of qi and integrating it into the bloodline, smelting the impurities in the body little by little, improving the purity and quality of the bloodline.

However, what made Li Qingming feel speechless was that just by opening up the first meridian, the stored true qi in his qi sea was consumed seven or eight out of ten, and the remaining true qi could no longer support him to continue to open up the second meridian.

If at this rate, if you want to open up all the thirty-six meridians recorded in the Great Sage Tongtian Formula, I'm afraid it will take quite a long time.

Because the further you go, the closer the body's endurance is to the limit, and the difficulty of opening up each meridian increases exponentially.

Because of this, the fivefold body refining is also known as the first watershed for martial arts monks, and to a certain extent, the number of meridians opened up can directly affect whether martial arts monks can cross this threshold of the body refining realm in the future.

Of course, if you want to open up all the meridians, you can't complete it overnight, and this step is a real test for all martial arts monks.

Generally speaking, in order to achieve the fifth level of body refining, it is necessary to open up at least four meridians, so that the martial true qi can form the most basic Zhou Tian cycle in the body.

The more meridians are opened, the farther they can go in the martial arts, so most geniuses will choose to work hard at this stage to accumulate and lay a solid foundation for their future cultivation paths.

Li Qingming naturally knew this truth, so he was not discouraged, no matter how much time it took, he didn't care.

"When you reach the fourth level of body refining, you can cultivate the Void Condensing Sword Technique, wait for me to practice it, and then go to the Danxiang Pavilion to settle accounts!"

In order to help Li Qingming buy the medicinal materials needed for alchemy, Ling Xian'er was embarrassed and humiliated by Danxiang Pavilion in every way, and even let the vicious dog block the way, which was really too much, it had already exceeded Li Qingming's bottom line, and he naturally had to help Ling Xian'er find it back.

"Void Condensation Sword Technique First Form, Void Sword Qi!"
