Chapter 9: Can deposits be made?

  Yang Tianwen thought for half a day, but still couldn't think of what wish to make. He didn't lack anything and didn't want to waste the second wish he had worked hard for over two years. Suddenly, an idea struck him, and he asked, "Senior, I wonder if it's possible to save this wish? Right now, I really can't think of what wish to make."

  The old man stroked his beard, smiled heartily and said: "Alright, but next time you want to make a wish, you can only do it when the third level is open. That's when the second and third levels are combined, and that way, there might be some slight improvement."

  Yang Tianwen thought for a moment, nodded and said: "It's okay, just combine the two wishes together, it doesn't matter." Yang Tianwen had experienced the ups and downs of life, how could he not know that everything can only be achieved through one's own efforts, and wishes are just a release of one's inner desires, or a kind of spiritual sustenance.

  Second-rate wishes, according to Yang Tianwen's understanding and speculation, can only be granted for small things that can be achieved during the Qi-refining stage, such as deepening one's cultivation with a few more Spirit Refining Pills or using herbs that benefit the Qi and nourish the origin. At this stage, he himself also lacks these things. He really can't think of anything else. Rather than wasting it, it's better to save it for next time.

  The old man's eyes were full of appreciation, and he nodded in response: "Then we'll meet again next time. The special effect brought by the second-level Luopan secret diagram is it!" After finishing speaking, he pointed at the Luopan body and disappeared with a sound.

  The originally suspended Destiny Sky Plate also pounced on Yang Tianwen, flashing into the back of Yang Tianwen's hand, and at the same time, a burst of enlightenment rose in Yang Tianwen's heart. He picked up a large mushroom beside him, and with a flip of his hand, it disappeared, and with another flip of his hand, it reappeared in his hand, repeating this process several times.

  This is not a change of magic, but because the second-level Luopan secret diagram was opened after, the outer periphery of the Tianxin of the Luopan itself became an independent space. The space is not large, only a few dozen cubic meters, but for Yang Tianwen, it's enough, really enough. Compared to the small room rented before, it's almost the same.

  The compass itself has also added three layers of inner plates. The outer plate has also changed, with the symbol that appears when the first level of the secret diagram is opened appearing in one corner, occupying an angle of about 10 degrees.

  "It's a good thing it can be saved, otherwise this wish would still feel like a waste. Waste is shameful, even if I have 36 wishes. He sighed to himself. However, that was very distant, because the third-level secret diagram had already made Yang Tianwen's entire head want to explode."

  Yang Tian did not know that the benefits brought by this second-level compass were far from it. If he didn't use his inner energy to try out his strength now, he could discover that his physical strength had increased a lot.

  Xiaobai narrowed his eyes and stared at Yang Tianwen, not disturbing him as he was still in a state of excitement. After a while, it seemed like he had figured something out, so he jumped forward and bit down hard on Yang Tianwen's finger.

  Yang Tianwen was still in a state of excitement, his hand throbbing with pain, but he had not yet come to. Fresh blood flowed out, dripping only a few times before stopping. Xiao Bai caught the few drops of fresh blood. As the saying goes, "ten fingers connected to the heart," the tip of the finger is actually the heart's blood. Immediately after, several mysterious characters appeared in mid-air, and Xiao Bai also squeezed out a drop of silver-colored blood. Indeed, it was silver-colored blood, which left Yang Tianwen stunned for a moment. Yang Tianwen almost confirmed that Xiao Bai's origins were extraordinary. Silver-colored blood, this is recorded in the "Qi Wu Pian" (a book about strange objects), and although there are few records of it, it does mention that only high-ranking beasts have special blood, with the highest level being golden. And this pure silver color, it must be quite rare as well.

  The contract was completed under Xiaobai's hosting, and although Xiaobai had just been born, this was an innate talent. Yang Tianwen gained Xiaobai's recognition in hindsight and became sworn brothers with him. At the same time, Yang Tianwen could slightly sense some of Xiaobai's thoughts.

  Carefree and unencumbered, Yang Tianwen also had a reliable friend, a lovely younger brother, and a dependent family member at this moment.

  Yang Tianwen is not the original Wu Xiaamon, and there are records of blood contracts in the Qi Wu Pian. Although I haven't seen it with my own eyes, I can guess most of it. Smiling, he picked up Xiao Bai and said: "You little guy, your movements are really fast, and you didn't even discuss it with me."

  The little white eyes blinked and pretended to be silly.

  Yang Tianwen didn't pursue it either, the blood contract was signed and that's it, Xiao Bai is his only friend who came to this place.

  Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, another three months have passed. Yang Tianwen is only one step away from breaking through the Food Qi stage and entering the Xing Qi stage. In fact, it's only after clearing all the meridians and acupoints that one can truly distinguish oneself from ordinary people, clear the Heavenly and Earthly Two Bridges, absorb the spiritual energy of Heaven and Earth, and return to the prenatal state from the postnatal state.

  Note that the innate here does not refer to the so-called innate masters in the secular world, but rather those who have opened up the eight extraordinary meridians and connected the Ren and Du meridians. Although they are considered top-notch in the secular world, they would be nothing to mention in the Cultivation Realm. Innate masters? If you insist on counting them, they would only be equivalent to Yang Tianwen's initial Qi Refining stage. Innate masters may be impressive in the secular world, but can they absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth?

  The limitations of secular martial arts are obvious. Practicing secular martial arts can open up the two bridges of heaven and earth, and those who enter the Tao through martial arts are few and far between, rarely seen in a thousand years. However, for those who cultivate their true selves, it is extremely easy. For example, Yang Tianwen is now at this stage. As long as he enters the stage of circulating his breath, he will be equivalent to crossing the threshold of cultivating his true self, and he will no longer be an ordinary person. In secular society, this state is called the divine level. It's not surprising that they think this way, because in the eyes of secular people, those who can absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth into their bodies are simply like gods.

  Ordinary cultivators can only absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth into their bodies after rushing into the later stage of foundation building, also known as the " Valley Closure Period". Before that, even during the "Opening Illumination Period", they are still practicing internal energy. In contrast, the "Food Qi Period" in "The Self-Cultivation Great Tao" allows for an earlier absorption of heaven and earth spiritual energy to accelerate cultivation. Nowadays, the self-cultivation methods do not advocate for opening up all the acupoints in the body, but only advocate for opening up all the meridians. This is because their entire body's magical powers are focused on cultivating the "Primordial Infant".
