Chapter 111: The Great Perfection of Cultivating Qi (Second Update)

  Interest is the best teacher.

  Lu Yuan has three greatest interests.

  Eating and drinking, sleeping, as well as swordsmanship.

  In the heavenly prison, following Chu Fei's uncle to eat and drink, there is nothing good to be particular about.

  Sleeping, this place is not a good place to sleep, sleeping also has its own rules, in the heavenly prison, sleeping obviously doesn't feel much, if you want to sleep, you have to be in a pretty good environment, such as on the grass, by the river, or on the tree branch, the surrounding environment must be good, listening to the birds chirping and the sound of the river flowing, can make you sleep more comfortably.

  In this way, eating and drinking, sleeping were all negated.

  So, in Tiān Láo, the only thing that can be done is to practice swordsmanship.

  On the first day of being sent to the second layer of Tian Prison, he had already subdued all the prisoners in the second layer.

  Now, as long as you practice your sword well, it's all right.

  The prisoners of the second layer of Tianlao, although their strength is not as good as mine, but they have all kinds of unique skills, and can also hone my sword skills.

  And for the next period of time, Lu Yuan kept exchanging hands with these prisoners, coming into contact with all sorts of sword techniques. These sword techniques were not necessarily profound or complex, but they could serve as the prisoners' signature moves, each having some special characteristics. Lu Yuan tried them out one by one.

  Although I didn't meet a strong opponent, this kind of competition made me feel that my swordsmanship has improved somewhat.

  Among them, what also made me feel quite interesting were two sets of swordsmanship.

  This set of Tian Can swordsmanship is indeed quite strange, but it seems to be missing about half of it. If you add another half to it, it would become a very formidable swordsmanship. Of course, Lu Yuan also knew that this was just his own feeling. In fact, Lu Yuan's feeling was correct, because in the era more than 5,000 years ago, the Tian Can and Di Que swordsmanships of the Ai Rang Mountain Immortal Sect were originally a combination technique. Just like the Wudang Immortal Sect, one of the five major immortal sects today, has a Yin Yang Er Yi swordsmanship. If you only take the Yin Yi swordsmanship or the Yang Yi swordsmanship separately, they are not considered to be very profound. However, once you combine these two swordsmanships together, it would become a very profound swordsmanship.

  There is another set, which is the swordsmanship of the three-goat whisker Ten Xiao Sheng. This Ten Xiao Sheng, who knows where he came from, learned the remnants of the Rain-Beating Flying Flower Sword Technique, one of the six great absolute swords of the Qingcheng Xianmen. Although it was only a remnant, although this set of swordsmanship is quite incomplete, it also made Lu Yuan feel the difference of the Rain-Beating Flying Flower Sword Technique.

  This Rain-Flower Swordsmanship will definitely not be weaker than the Wind and Cloud 108 Swords.

  The six great absolute swords of Qingcheng Sect are indeed not simple.

  Faintly, within this set of sword techniques, I sense the will of Rain Sword.

  Unfortunately, it's just a fragment. If it were the complete Rain-Beating Flying Flower Sword Technique, perhaps I could use it to comprehend the intent of the Rain Sword. Lu Yuan had almost grasped the intent of the Rain Sword and Water Sword several times, but each time he fell short by just a little bit. Missing by just a little bit was still missing, and that feeling of being suspended in mid-air was always so unbearable.

  If I could see the real Rain Slashing Flying Flower Swordsmanship, it would be completely different from now.

  ……

  Apart from encountering all sorts of swordsmanship and having a good fight, some of these prisoners also used magic.

  Silver Whiskers used a water-based spell, increasing her experience with destructive water-based spells.

  Other prisoners also used wood-based magic and wind-based magic, both of which I had broken before, so it was just a matter of gaining more experience in breaking these two types of magic.

  This time, I also got to experience fire magic, and when I first faced it, I was quite at a loss. At one point, I was forced into a pretty miserable state by the fire magic, with things like fireball spells and fire arrow spells. But after fighting for a while, I discovered that if I used the Cloud Dragon Ten Transformations' first transformation, the Qīnguì Biàn (Dragon's Kiss Transformation), I could temporarily convert my internal magical energy into water-based magical energy.

  Then, with the water-based magical power added to the sword, use water to overcome fire, break through the water-based magic spell, and then solve the opponent.

  Also encountered those who use earth-based spells, the caster of earth-based spells can also be quite a headache with their earth shield. The earth shield protects the caster and wraps them inside, only allowing a small opening in the defense to attack the person inside, which is also a very frustrating spell.

  As for the earth-based aggressive spell "Earth Spike", as long as the dodge speed is fast enough, it's nothing to be afraid of.

  To put it simply, fighting against an earth-based spellcaster is a slow and painful process. It's hard to end the battle quickly, as if they have a tortoise shell on their back, making you feel extremely frustrated.

  ……

  In the second layer of Tianlao, Lu Yuanfei was making rapid progress, not in terms of swordsmanship realm, but rather in his increasingly mature and refined sword techniques.

  The original self, the realm of swordsmanship was extremely high, reaching the level of Sword Intent. However, although the realm of swordsmanship was high, experience was not very old, except for the usual true transmission disciples' hand-to-hand combat, and the opportunity to fight with others was absolutely less than ten times, while this time in the Heavenly Prison practicing sword, fighting with various types of prisoners, greatly increased one's own experience.

  In this way, there has been some progress in swordsmanship.

  Improvement in swordsmanship is secondary, what's important is that this time, by fighting against so many different types of prisoners, one's experience has increased, and their foundation has been solidified, which will be greatly beneficial for understanding more various sword intents in the future and looking up to the masters of swordsmanship.

  ——————

  In fact, in the second layer of Tianlao, not only has his swordsmanship improved a lot, but his own magical powers have also undergone many subtle changes.

  After reaching the 9th major cycle of Qi cultivation, it's not difficult to reach the 10th major perfection. What's needed is to temper one's magical power through a thousand hammerings and a hundred refinements. Fighting is undoubtedly the fastest way to achieve this. During battle, the operation of magical power is absolutely incomparable to its state in ordinary times.

  This time coming to Tianlao for training is actually to raise his magical power by another level.

  After this period of tempering, Lu Yuan found that his magical powers had undergone a subtle transformation. Originally, it was just a thread of change, which was not noticeable, but now, it seemed to be on the verge of a major transformation.

  Sitting cross-legged in a secluded corner of the second layer of Tianlao, he began to operate his condensed work, starting to condense his own law power. The cloud system's law power was flowing slowly and continuously inside his body at a not-so-fast speed. However, his own cloud system's law power seemed to have changed somewhat.

  Thicker and denser, that's the current characteristic of my own magical power. After so many uses, my magical power has changed a lot, and I've set up a Soul-Sealing Array around me again, piercing through some spirit stones. Anyway, I now have more than 400 spirit stones, thanks to the Eastern Capital Fu's campaign.

  With a ruthless heart, he pierced eighty spirit stones at once, and countless heavenly and earthly primordial energies surged into his body. Lu Yuan manipulated the Cloud Dragon Heart Method to absorb those heavenly and earthly primordial energies, gradually transforming them into his own magical powers, making his magical powers more dense and profound, becoming increasingly dense and profound.

  It was unknown how long it took, but the heaven and earth aura in the Sealing Spirit Formation became thinner and thinner. At this moment, Lu Yuan suddenly opened his eyes, and at this moment, Lu Yuan knew that he had reached the tenth major perfection of Qi Refining.

  Dà yuán mǎn is the final state of the tenth level of qigong practice.

  This barrier is actually not difficult to break through.

  During the period of practicing Qi, the difficult ones are actually the fifth layer of Small Week Sky, the sixth layer of practicing Qi to form a halo, and the ninth layer of Big Week Sky. These few layers of realm are difficult, and the tenth layer of Great Perfection is not considered too difficult. Of course, although this layer of realm is not difficult, it still counts as breaking through this layer and standing at the peak of the practicing Qi period.

  It's not easy at all, from practicing one layer of Qi to now practicing ten layers of Qi, it's really not an easy thing.

  It's like climbing a mountain, and finally reached the top of this peak.

  Can't help but feel a little melancholy.

  From the beginning of entering Mount Hua's immortal gate, Master has been urging himself to work hard and reach the tenth level of Qi Refining. Now he has finally reached it, but for some reason, his heart is filled with emotion. A few years ago, Master was most worried that when he passed away, he would not have reached the peak of Qi Refining, but now Master should be at ease.

  Reaching the peak of practicing Qi is not only considered as reaching a personal summit, but also fulfilling one's master's wish.

  A hundred emotions converge in my heart.

  Of course, after sighing with emotion, we have to think about what's next.

  The next step, from the 10th level of Qi Gong to the 1st level of Body Cultivation, is more difficult than the sum of the three levels of Small Heaven Circulation at the 5th level of Qi Gong, the formation of the Qi Gong Cauldron at the 6th level, and the Great Heaven Circulation at the 9th level. This pass is extremely difficult, and only when one reaches the 1st level of Body Cultivation, where the Qi is released from the body, can one truly ascend to the heavens.

  Many people actually say that practitioners in the Qi Refining stage are not considered true cultivators.

  Only when one has reached the stage of refining the body can they be considered a true cultivator.

  Cultivate the body, cultivate the body, and achieve a divine body.

  Therefore, many people also call the practice period the immortal body period.

  To be honest, Lu Yuan also had high expectations for the Refining Body stage. After all, flying into the sky was a dream shared by many people.

  Flying through the sky like a bird in flight.

  Lu Yuan also wanted to fly in the sky, lying on the ground looking at the sky, the earth, the distant mountains and the nearby fog. In fact, he also wanted to fly into the sky, fly among the white clouds, and see what the sky looked like from within the white clouds, what the earth looked like, what the mountains looked like, and what the fog looked like.

  Moreover, lying in the soft white clouds has always been my dream, and it's not in vain that I've practiced the Cloud Dragon Wind Technique. The 108 Swords of Wind and Clouds are related to clouds whether it's the mental or sword techniques.

  Unconsciously, I have developed a special feeling for clouds.

  However, the foundation period is still far away.

  Even at the peak of the Qi Refining stage, it is still so far away from the Body Refining stage.

  The second update has arrived, and I've finally reached the peak of the Qi training period. There are two upgrade paths for me: one is to enhance my magical powers, and the other is to improve my swordsmanship.
