Crossing into Immortal Cultivation

  Xu Ziqing also recognized it, and Yan Bo's thumb shot out a single drop of True Essence.

  And this drop of true yuan contains power that far surpasses ordinary spiritual energy, it can be said to be a hundred times, a thousand times more than it.

  It can be said that only with the possession of true yuan is it possible to lay a foundation, and the reason why cultivators who have laid their foundations are called the first step in crossing the threshold of laying a foundation is precisely because of this true yuan.

  The so-called path of cultivating immortality, initially involves introducing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth into the dantian, where a point of spiritual power is established. Only then can one continuously absorb spiritual energy, continuously increase spiritual power, break through the 'holes' and orifices, and then break through the meridians, allowing spiritual power to flow freely, washing the bones and marrow, changing the physical constitution.

  From self-cultivation of Qi in the first layer to the ninth layer, it is a process of constantly opening up the 'holes' and orifices.

  However, when finally breaking through the 9th layer of Qi Refining and reaching the 10th layer of Qi Refining, at this time, the twelve regular meridians and eight extraordinary meridians in the body have all been opened up, spiritual energy runs unimpeded in the body, and the physical constitution can be considered to have changed successfully.

  So what about the cultivation path from the tenth layer of Qi Refining to the Foundation Establishment stage?

  At this point, it is no longer a quantitative change, but a qualitative change.

  In the process of refining the 10 layers of Qi, the cultivator continuously compresses his spiritual energy, eventually transforming it into a single point of True Yuan. He then continues to accumulate True Yuan until all his spiritual energy is fully transformed, and his Dantian is full and cannot be increased further. At this point, he uses the True Yuan to burst through the Hundred Meetings at the top of his head.

  Baihui 'hole', is the place where the meridians gather, and also the only 'hole' that has not been opened after the 20 meridians are unblocked. This is because this 'hole' cannot be penetrated by spiritual power, but can only be broken through with the help of true yuan impact.

  When this 'cave' is opened by the impact of the true yuan, it can penetrate the heavenly spirit and open up the purple mansion.

  Only then was there a way to further cultivate immortality.

  This is the foundation.

  At the same time, the tenth layer of Qi refining is also a relatively embarrassing stage.

  At this level, the masters are indeed very powerful, but throughout the entire stage, their spiritual energy is constantly and slowly transforming into True Essence, which is frozen and cannot be used until all of their spiritual energy has been fully transformed.

  But now, all the cultivators found that Yan Bo released his true yuan.

  What does this indicate?

  Yan Bo's spiritual energy inside his body has all been converted into true yuan, so he can use it.

  That is to say, Yan Bo Shang is now only one step away from successfully building his foundation by penetrating the Bai Hui acupoint.

  Zhuo Han's face was deathly pale, the breath in his dantian was chaotic and disordered, and the spiritual energy throughout his body seemed to be blocked in the meridians. Even slight movements caused his entire body to ache with a dull pain.

  Soon, her flying sword fell to the ground with a crisp sound of "ding".

  Covering his 'chest' mouth, Zhuo Han Yan knew that he was utterly defeated this time.

  "I lost." She said with a sigh.

  Yan Bo's hand moved slightly, and the flying sword that was still spinning in mid-air immediately returned to him, being sheathed into his raised sleeve. Then he smiled warmly and said: "Zhao young lady, I concede."

  Zhuo Han Yan reluctantly nodded and quickly returned to her seat.

  She was sitting next to Ruan Xingjian, who had a higher cultivation level in the alliance. At this moment, his eyes showed a few points of worry, and he handed over a bottle: "Zhuo Shijie, you should heal quickly."

  Zhuo Han Yan was badly injured this time, and was defeated again. If he couldn't recover quickly, even if he had the chance to challenge the winner later, it wasn't certain that he would win. At that time, if he couldn't stay, it would be a huge loss for the San Xiu Alliance.

  Among the eight people in the alliance, only Su Xun and Zhuo Han Yan have a chance to break through the foundation period!

  Zhuo Han Yan also knew it was severe and immediately swallowed the Dan medicine, closing his eyes to regulate his breathing.

  In the arena, she didn't look again.

  On the other hand, Su Xun saw Zhuo Han Yan so seriously injured that he couldn't bear to watch anymore. He now felt like every day was a year, and if Tang Wen Fei hadn't been sitting at the top, he would have gotten up and left.

  Xu Ziqing knew that Su Xun was worried, but he didn't think it was as serious as Su Xun did. He just let out a light sigh and didn't say much more.

  The remaining games are those who are close to the top ten players competing against each other, even if they are not as shocking as the first three games, but also have their own 'fine' and 'delicate' moments.

  Xu Ziqing did take a closer look, and even discussed it with Yun Liao for a while. However, Su Xun was completely absent-minded the whole time, until this day when the sky gradually darkened, he finally calmed down.

  "Tang Wenfei said, 'Today's battle will stop here, and we'll continue tomorrow.'"

  All the monks chorused: "We will follow Senior Tang's instructions!"

  Then Tang Wenfei slightly swept his sleeve and disappeared into the hall, leaving behind a group of proud sons who were either overjoyed or resentful, each with different expressions.

  Su Xuan hastily stood up, pulled Xu Ziqing's sleeve and quickly walked out with him. At this time, Zhuo Hanyan had already left the hall with Rong Xingjian and others, but after all, she was injured and couldn't walk fast. Before long, Su Xuan caught up with her.

  "Zhuo sister, are you okay?" Xu Yin asked hastily.

  Zhuo Han's face was still unsightly, and he bitterly smiled: "The injury from the True Origin is not that easy to heal." He paused, then sighed: "I've already suffered damage to all my meridians."

  The medicine only slightly alleviated her pain, but had little effect on her injuries. The five-day deadline was too short, and Zhuo Han knew in her heart that this time she would likely be unable to stay behind.

  Su Xun's face turned gloomy, and he didn't know what to say for the better.

  Zhuo Han shook his head: "You don't have to be so pessimistic, there are still a few days left, if it's not the last moment, how can you be so disheartened? I'll try again!"

  Xu Ziqing listened to Zhuo Hanyan's words and secretly praised her in his heart.

  She is indeed a strange girl, after such a great fall, she can still be so calm, and she is indeed worthy of being the best among the younger generation of the Scattered Cultivation Alliance! Su Xun's talent is indeed stronger than hers, but in terms of temperament, he is inferior to her by a few points.

  Everyone in the Scattered Cultivation Alliance immediately used their own techniques, and Su Xun even went to great lengths to let Zhuo Han Yan get on his flying sword. The group quickly rose into the air and flew together to the "cave" of Zhuo Han Yan.

  In the 'cave' 'hole', the layout of everything was almost identical to Xu Ziqing's residence. As soon as Zhuo Han Yan stepped inside, she sat down cross-legged. The spiritual energy here was strong and had some benefits for her injuries.

  The other seven people also sat down, all worried about her.

  Xu Ziqing thought for a moment and suddenly spoke up: "Zhuo young lady, may I take a look at your injury?"

  Everyone was stunned and looked at this foreign ally together.

  Su Xuan's mind flashed with a brilliant idea, and she quickly said: "Zhuo Shijie, let him take a look for you! Zi Qing is a single wood spirit root, the wood element spiritual energy in his body is extremely pure, it can't be denied that he has some use to you!"

  Zhuo Han and others also came up with a solution, and their faces eased slightly.

  Mù shǔ xiū shì suǒ lái shēng jī wàn shèng, lǐ yīng yě néng wéi rén zhì shāng —— zhè zì rán bìng fēi shì néng zhì yù bǎi bìng, ér shì néng yǐn fā shāng zhě tǐ nèi shēng jī, shǐ qí gèng kuài zì yù bà le.

  However, most of the wood attributes are mixed with many impurities due to the impurity of the spiritual root during cultivation, and the spiritual power in the body is not pure. Therefore, if those impure spiritual powers are harmful to the injured person, they may even cause further harm.

  Hence, Mù Zhìshu rarely treated others' injuries, fearing that one misstep would harm the other person instead.

  But Xu Ziqing was different.

  Under the single wooden spiritual root, his body's spiritual energy was the purest, and none of the other cultivators knew that he had absorbed the essence of the second wood, and his vitality was flourishing, fearing that no one could compare.

  So Xu Ziqing took the initiative to mention that he would take a look at Zhuo Han's injuries, and it was also somewhat confident that he would do so.

  Zhuo Han Yan was not a pretentious person, and upon hearing the words, he stretched out his hand and said: "I'll suppress my spiritual power for now, you just examine it, if there's any backlash, let me know."

  After all, she wasn't a trusted partner, and she couldn't be certain that her body wouldn't automatically counterattack due to external spiritual energy invading. However, as long as she was careful, she could hold back for now.

  Xu Ziqing also knew this truth, since he was the one who proposed it, there wouldn't be any misunderstanding.

  He immediately grasped Zhuo Han Yan's wrist, slowly mobilizing a thread of Wood Spirit energy, and sent it into her body along the meridian, carefully exploring.

  Fortunately, Mu's nature is gentle and warm. Although many forces inside Zhuo Han Yan surged up in an instant, they were quickly suppressed by Zhuo Han Yan's own thoughts. Despite some fluctuations, he remained calm and peaceful.

  At this time, that thread of spiritual energy had quickly circulated through Zhuo Han's hundred meridians and then Xu Ziqing immediately withdrew his hand, the entire process taking only a single breath.

  Everyone saw him move quickly and immediately asked: "Xu Daoyou, what's going on?"

  Xu Ziqing said, "It's no different from what Zhuo young lady expected." After a brief pause, he continued, "I observed that Zhuo young lady's meridians have indeed been damaged, but that Yan Daoyou's move was quite measured. This kind of injury is not serious. However, since it was caused by the shock to her true yuan, she will need to slowly nurse herself back to health for a period of ten days or half a month before she can recover fully."

  His statement is quite consistent with Zhuo Han's self-examination after investigation.

  Zhuo Han nodded slowly: "That's right."

  She knew that her life was not in danger, but it was just these ten days or half a month that were crucial, which made her and the people of the Dispersed Repair Alliance so anxious.

  Xu Ziqing thought for a moment, then continued: "Miss Zhuo's biggest problem at this time is not those injuries, but the true yuan lingering in her body. Miss Zhuo has not refined her true yuan, and the spiritual energy in her body cannot coexist with the true yuan brought by Yan Bo Shang. She must mobilize all her spiritual energy to forcefully expel it from her body. However, since Miss Zhuo's hundred meridians are damaged, her spiritual energy is hindered and cannot gather, so naturally she also cannot smoothly 'force' that true yuan out of her body."

  Everyone fell silent at once.

  Zhuo Han also fell silent for a moment before asking: "Xu Daoyou, are you sure you can trigger the life force within me and help me heal my injuries?"

  This is the most crucial part.

  Xu Ziqing sighed and smiled slightly: "If it's just to stimulate the birth of the hundred meridians, it should be feasible."

  Zhuo Han Yan made a decisive move: "This is enough."

  The crowd of cultivators let out a collective sigh of relief.

  It's just a try, if it doesn't work out, there's no harm done. However, if it does succeed, Zhuo Han will definitely be able to lay the foundation within a year, and at that time, not only can one of them follow her to the great world, but also help Su Xun, this rare single-spirited genius.

  Xu Ziqing is good, but after all, his connection with the Loose Cultivation Alliance is a bit short. They don't quite trust him, and if he were to go to the Great World with Su Xuan alone... they couldn't really expect him to truly be able to entrust his life to Su Xuan. If something unexpected happens and Su Xuan gets delayed, it would be a huge loss for the Loose Cultivation Alliance.

  "In that case, please ask Miss Zhuo to first find the place where the meridian damage is most severe... Xu Ziqing saw the expressions of the crowd and spoke warmly, "...and then inform me."
