Yongzhou, Xingyang County, Xingyang Mansion.

Bactria is divided into prefectures, counties, and counties, and the prefecture is the important place of the state, and at the same time it is the seat of the county. Xingyang Mansion is the capital of Yongzhou Prefecture and the county capital of Xingyang County, which can be regarded as the most important city in Yongzhou politically and militarily.

It also turns the Canglan River in Xingyang Mansion and goes to Shenzhou, forming a wide river channel in Xingyang Mansion City, with many ships coming and going, making Xingyang Mansion more and more lively.

However, the area of Great Xia is really vast, and there are large areas of undeveloped mountains, forests and swamps, and there are many wild beasts in these undeveloped places, and there are even powerful monsters in some places. The main channels and branches of two rivers and two rivers in Bactria spread over most of the prefectures and counties, making river transportation the most important means of transportation in Bactria .

Most of the prefectures and counties are on the edge of the river, and the Great Xia royal family sent troops to purge the newborn beasts in the river from time to time, which greatly improved the safety of river transportation.

Therefore, there are quite a lot of people who rely on the river to eat and work the boat. Originally, there was a gang based on shipping in every state, but three hundred years ago, several major ship gangs suddenly entered the era of fire and annexation, and finally formed two major ship gangs, one south and one north.

In the north is the Cao Gang, which dominates the Canglan River and the Hunhe River, helping hundreds of thousands of people, and its strength is not inferior to that of a first-class family.

At this moment, the bright moon is hanging high, and there is a three-story building ship sailing in the Xingyangfu section of the Canglan River, because it is about to dock at the Xingyangfu wharf tomorrow, and the water has gradually slowed down.

The huge ship was like a monster breaking through the fog in the water and heading towards its destination.

On the front and right sides of the boat, there was a guard watching the water and the shore, and it was a clear night, the water was sparkling in the moonlight, and occasionally a few river fish jumped up and fell into the water with a "poof".

On the top of the ship's three floors is a gilded flag on a black background, embroidered with a silver character, fluttering in the night wind, faintly visible as the word "Cao".

A young man in blue suddenly walked out of the boat, walked to the stern of the boat, saw someone coming, the guard clenched the blade in his hand, and after staring, the nervousness eased, and said, "It turned out to be Brother Zhao, who came out to see the stars again?"

This blue-clothed young man is Zhao Dongli who set off from Zou County, Yuzhou to Liangzhou.

At this time, it was already a month after the departure, he took the boat of the Cao Gang, along the river all the way, after several transfers, he had gradually approached the capital city of Yongzhou, which was only half a distance away from the destination.

Three days ago, he changed to this tall building ship, which happened to be going to the capital city of Liangzhou, and he finally didn't need to change ships anymore, he could sit on the boat with peace of mind and wait quietly to reach his destination.

Because he showed the token issued by his uncle, he also occupied a small guest room alone in this ship.

Every night, he would step out of the room and come to the overtime behind the building ship to observe the starry sky and continue the cultivation of "Yuan Gang".

Along the way, Zhao Dongli has not relaxed his cultivation for a day, whether it is the Nine Alchemy Technique or the family's internal strength, he has tried to do his best. But after a month, it is still impossible to restore the realm of the consummation of the Tongli realm. And Yuan Tsunade came to a standstill again, though he was convinced that he remembered every star in the night sky. But to visualize this starry sky map in your mind in just a few moments, you still can't do it.

He had a feeling in his dark that as long as he could successfully visualize the starry sky map, he would be able to restore the consummation of the Tongli Realm, and this was the only credential for him to participate in the family assessment.

And looking at the stars is Zhao Dongli's excuse for the guards on the ship, this guard's surname is Li, more than thirty years old, and he also has a high-level level of the Tongli Realm, according to Zhao Dongli's understanding, there are more than 20 guards on this ship, all of whom are members of the Cao Gang. The leader is the second order of enlightenment, and the rest are all in the Tongli Realm, there are four people in the high-level Tongli Realm, and the rest are all middle-level and beginner-level in the Tongli Realm.

At first hearing, Zhao Dongli was also quite amazed, there were so many warriors on the escort of such a ship, and on the rivers in the north of Great Xia, there were countless ships, you can imagine how terrifying the strength of the Cao Gang would be.

Every night, this building ship is warned by a high-level guard of the Kone Realm with the rest of the people, and if there is an accident, then these twenty or so guards can immediately respond to the enemy.

In addition to Zhao Dongli of Zou County, he knew that the cities of Great Xia were all built along the river, and the waterway was the lifeline of Great Xia's production. In the same way, in the places that cannot be guarded by the city, between the vast wilderness between the cities, there are many surviving bandits, who make a living by plundering the property on the ships, which is also a great scourge of Great Xia, so all important ships are guarded by good guards, especially those ships that sail across the state, and they need to be vigilant.

If Zhao Dongli was not the token of the Born Boat Gang, Li Huwei would probably suspect that Zhao Dongli was a spy who sneaked on the ship to spy on the enemy. However, since he is considered half of the Cao Gang, Li Huwei's attitude towards Zhao Dongli is not good, at least he will not interfere with Zhao Dongli looking at the moon on the deck.

In the face of Li Guard's ridicule, Zhao Dongli casually responded with a few words, and then stood on the aft deck.

He looked up at the night sky and stared at it for a long time, the stars in the sky twinkling, the bright moon like a wheel, and the river breeze blowing through the tips of his hair, making his heart gradually calm down. He looked back at the night sky behind him, obscured by the massive body of the ship, and he could recall in his mind the location of the stars.

Zhao Dongli turned his head, took a deep breath, and slowly closed his eyes.

One star, two stars, three stars, four stars...... Ten stars, eleven stars...... One hundred stars, one hundred and one stars...... A thousand stars, a thousand and one stars......

In Zhao Dongli's thoughts, the stars emerged little by little, and in an instant, they filled the entire imaginary night sky, which was simply full of stars and clouds, and there were countless of them. But in Zhao Dongli's heart, he knows the position of each star well at this moment, and there is not the slightest mistake or omission.

He slowly opened his eyes, as if the stars were still twinkling in his mind, and then he closed his eyes again, and used all his mental and mental power to reconstruct the path of the heavens and stars in the conscious night sky.

At the moment of success, his mind was dizzy, and the map of the heavens and stars was like an eternal roulette, but it was slowly pushed by his mind, and the stars above his head were slowly rotated.

Suddenly, the boundary of the night sky in his mind was infinitely elongated, and the stars were getting farther and farther away, and in a trance, Zhao Dongli felt that he was standing on a void boat, with no sky above and no earth below, the four directions were disorderly, and the stars were rotating.

Immediately after another trance, his consciousness returned to the body, and with the return of his mind, another inexplicable substance, invisible and qualitative, like light, like a feather, like heavy, like a thousand jun, along his brain Baihui acupoints, flowing in, flowing into the meridians, with the flow of internal force and throughout the body, and then from the meridians to the muscles, bone marrow, until the five internal organs, up and down the body, no one was missed, by this mysterious substance, the whole body was washed all over.

This mysterious substance contains a cold and ethereal temperament, when it completely enters Zhao Dongli's body and merges with Zhao Dongli's body, Zhao Dongli is a spirit, and he wakes up.

When he opened his eyes, it was as if a star flashed in his pupils, shining brightly.

At this moment, such a magical experience is telling Zhao Dongli that the first step of Yuan Gang has been introduced. Although this introduction to contemplating the path of the heavens and stars tormented Zhao Dongli for a long time and consumed countless brain power, at the moment of success, this Yuan Gang showed his mysterious side, and was actually able to summon mysterious substances from the void.

He turned his head to look at the Li guard next to him, but the other party was unaware and was still staring at the water.

Zhao Dongli lifted it up and looked at the starry sky again, the starry sky was still the same, but the idea just now entered a mysterious state, which showed that whether it was Yuangang or this starry sky, there were great secrets.

His mind enters the body, he moves the internal force, and feels the operation of the internal force in the body. He hasn't opened his eyes yet, so he can't see inward, but he can still do it with simple sensing. In his senses, the total amount of internal force did not increase, but the flow rate increased slightly.

This is a strengthened combat power, the total amount has not changed, but the speed of operation has increased, which has increased the efficiency of his internal force.

And the most important thing is that he feels that he has returned to the consummation of the Kone Realm, this time the mysterious substance entered the body, and successfully made up for the foundation that was damaged by the monster vine before.

He recalled the Yuan Gang in his memory, and according to Yuan Gang, when he was able to visualize the starry sky map, he had completed the first step in the cultivation of this set of exercises. When visualizing the starry sky map for the first time, the starry sky will have a star power infusion, and its function is mainly to improve the muscles and marrow and improve the qualification again. But this kind of good thing can only be achieved when you visualize it for the first time.

The second step of Yuan Gang is to combine the various aspects of this visualization of the starry sky map with the cultivation of internal forces, and the original Qi Shen Dantian has become a visualization of the starry sky map.

"Look" here, Zhao Dongli frowned.

Although Yuan Gang did not elaborate, since it is "visualization", it is based on the mind, that is, the brain palace. And he originally practiced the internal skills for more than ten years, but he was interested in the dantian and took the dantian as the source of power. Even if it is to the consummation of the Tongli realm, although the internal force is endless, when it comes to the beginning, it also starts from the dantian and returns to the dantian.

However, the second layer of the Yuan Gang should be changed to take visualization as the source, driving the operation of the internal force in the body, and operating the internal force. This is not as simple as changing the mind from the dantian to the brain palace.

To use a simple analogy, if it is still the original internal strength operation method, someone has a heavy hand in the dantian, and in serious cases, it can even abolish the internal strength of a martial artist. But if it can be transformed into what the second layer of Yuangang describes, even if the dantian is destroyed, as long as you visualize the starry sky map, the internal force can flow, and the dantian will only become a channel through which the internal force flows.

This is a fundamental change in the operation of internal strength, but there are also difficulties in front of us. The habits formed in more than ten years are not so easy to break, and how to make the internal force run naturally when contemplating, Yuan Gang did not elaborate, and he had to rely on Zhao Dongli to think carefully.

But no matter what, this reflects the magic of Yuangang, if it can be realized, as long as there is a nine-trick opening method, Zhao Dongli will have the main cultivation method of the enlightenment realm.

But I don't know how to cultivate the heaven-level exercises, Zhao Dongli thought leisurely.
