Chapter 59: Seeking the Source

  Today is really rare, there are two rewards, haha!

  After trying continuously for several days, there was still no good result. Even with Li Wenjun's great patience, he had never thought of giving up, but it was hard to avoid feeling a bit anxious and distracted.

  Li Wenjun tried several methods but found that none of them could calm himself down. So, he thought for a moment and decided to temporarily stop his cultivation, preparing to return to the county town of Sanshan County.

  What prompted him to make up his mind to return to the county town was not only that his cultivation had never made progress, but also a very important reason: Wang Yonggui's head had already shown signs of rotting. If he couldn't return to the county town as soon as possible, Wang Yonggui's head would rot away and he wouldn't be able to prove its identity to the government office, so he might as well forget about getting fame.

  Moreover, rotting human heads give off a foul odor, and the smell of corpses would be all over the storage wraps, just thinking about it makes people feel sick.

  Li Wenjun didn't plan to stay in the county town for long this time. After dealing with what he needed to, he was going to return to the mountain cave and continue his cultivation. The living conditions here were harsh, but at least no one disturbed him, making it a good place to focus on his cultivation.

  Li Wenjun first arranged various defenses in the cave, traps, messages, mechanisms and so on, using all that could be used. Since he had been cultivating here, he would also steal a leisurely moment to study Wang Yonggui's manuscripts. Of course, compared to Wang Yonggui's level of setting up mechanisms, Li Wenjun was far inferior, but the skill of tracing the gourd and painting the tiger was still somewhat there.

  Li Wenjun took out some gold, silver and jewels from the wooden box and put them into a storage bag. He planned to deal with these treasures after he returned home, as they were useless if left in his hands, and he needed to find a way to make use of their value.

  Dry goods and other supplies, Li Wenjun naturally would not miss.

  After everything was ready, Li Wenjun carefully checked again and confirmed that nothing was missing. Then he left the cave and headed towards the county town of Sanshan County outside the mountain.

  The distance between where he is and the county town, even if calculated as a straight line distance, is over 100 miles. In between, you have to cross several mountains, climb multiple mountain valleys, and wade through several streams. The hardships in between are not worth telling outsiders about.

  Li Wenjun rushed along the road, searching for medicinal herbs along the way. However, he was in a hurry and didn't have the mind to carefully search for the herbs, so his harvest was meager.

  After a day's journey, halfway through the trip, Li Wenjun estimated that he only needed to rest for one more night in Wufeng Mountain and he would be able to return to the county town tomorrow.

  Li Wenjun looked at the sky and saw that it was almost dusk, so he decided to stop and rest. He chose a mountain peak and sat down at the highest point, with his Dragon Head Goose Feather Knife by his side, facing east.

  He took out some food and ate it with clear water, Li Wenjun hastily filled his stomach, then he sat cross-legged, closed his eyes, and began to cultivate.

  After forming the Microcosmic Orbit, even if you don't take medicinal pills, herbal baths or use crystal stones, you can still increase your cultivation through the Microcosmic Orbit method. However, generally speaking, this method is the slowest and least effective.

  Li Wenjun had nothing else to rely on, only diligence and perseverance. Since he started practicing, he has been insisting on practicing every day. After advancing to the first layer of Qi Refining, he didn't dare to slack off for a single day.

  Cultivation to a certain extent can reduce sleep time. Like many cultivators with high spiritual realms, they have not slept for years and months, practicing bitterly day and night without rest. When they come out of seclusion, they are still full of energy and vigor.

  Li Wenjun was going through the cycle of the week again and again, his cultivator growing at a slow pace that was even slower than a turtle's crawl.

  Before one knows it, night has passed and dawn breaks.

  The red sun broke through the thick clouds and cast a soft morning light on Li Wenjun's body.

  Li Wenjun's body hidden in the darkness slowly brightened, his face dyed with a layer of golden red, from afar, it seemed as if an immortal had descended upon the world.

  Li Wenjun Fuzhi's soul was still practicing, he finished the last cycle of Zhou Tian circulation, but did not immediately open his eyes, instead trying to do introspection again.

  He meditated, imagining a pair of eyes in his body that could allow him to observe the world from an angle and perspective he had never tried before.

  In a daze, Li Wenjun entered a very strange state. After closing his eyes, the dark world seemed to have an unusual light.

  Suddenly, he opened a pair of "eyes", through which he perceived that he was already inside his own body. He saw his internal organs, his muscles and bones, his meridians and acupoints.

  At this moment, under the witness of the sun that gives life to all things, Li Wenjun produced spiritual consciousness and possessed the ability to introspect. This means that he finally stood firmly on his feet in the second layer of Qi training, rather than being a pseudo-second layer like the previous few days.

  Li Wenjun eagerly launched a massive search within his body, searching for the source of the green light. He first checked from his head, searched around, and found nothing. Then, he examined his senses, checked his internal organs, and still had no gain.

  Then, Li Wenjun began to check his meridians. His consciousness traveled along the meridians and when it reached the dantian, he couldn't help but be shocked.

  Only in the lower abdomen, there is a space the size of a watermelon, and the space is filled with green light.

  Li Wenjun was overjoyed and hastily manipulated his spiritual sense to rush over. He wanted to take a closer look within a short distance, but when his spiritual sense rushed over, it seemed as if there was something invisible in the dantian that blocked the entire dantian, making it impossible for his spiritual sense to enter.

  Li Wenjun's consciousness was tightly attached to the space in his dantian, trying to see what was inside, but no matter how he looked, he couldn't see anything clearly. He could only see a green light swirling around in his dantian, with something shadowy and indistinct inside.

  These green lights are extremely gentle, just like the lush grass in midsummer, and also like the green leaves that have been washed by rainwater, full of vitality. Looking at the green light filling his Dantian, Li Wenjun felt an unprecedented sense of relaxation. In the instant he saw the green light, all worries, all anxieties, and all fatigue seemed to disappear.

  After trying in vain, Li Wenjun withdrew his consciousness from the dantian and opened his eyes, letting out a sigh.

  Found the source of the green light, but did not solve the most fundamental problem, and new doubts have arisen.

  What is it that surrounds the green light?
