Chapter 9: Sealing the Pulse

  A woman in a black skirt unfolded a ribbon, like a mysterious cloud sky curtain, layered and overlapping, inside and outside fluttering, instantly wrapping Mu Yuan tightly, and countless divine and ghostly energies shot out from above, thread by thread, like a net or a line, making Mu Yuan's head ache endlessly!

  The green light of the Qingmu divine axe burst forth, its emerald radiance swirling ceaselessly. It clashed with the turbulent air currents several times, but was unable to break through them. The mysterious and toxic air currents swirled like whirlpools, as if they were waves in the ocean, with hints of tidal flows. However, their power was even more enormous, causing Mu Yuan's figure to waver unsteadily, almost being shaken off balance several times!

  "Wow, where did such a powerful beauty come from? She's not very old, but her cultivation is far higher than mine. Her true energy is thick and unyielding, and this kind of magical technique is mysterious and unpredictable, with no beginning or end, making it difficult to defend against!"

  Muyuan's heart secretly cried out in distress, the air blades shooting out from the iron sword with each swing seemed to be drawn in by countless whirlpools, losing their accuracy and dispersing their energy, being pulled into the surrounding vortex. The Qingmu divine blade that Muyuan had spent great effort gathering and condensing was actually showing signs of being defeated!

  After a fierce battle, Mu Yuan was in a state of distress, sweating profusely and feeling suffocated. His opponent's energy was elusive and unpredictable, making it difficult for him to find the true source of power. "If only I could master the art of Tide Flow, I wouldn't be at such a disadvantage against these mysterious and intangible energies!"

  A thought flashed through his mind, and in that brief moment of distraction, a ray of light broke through the seal of Qingmu's divine aura, touching him for an instant.

  Mù Yuán immediately felt a chill, snake-like true energy coursing through his body. Wherever it passed, his muscles and veins went limp, and his heart panicked, causing his true energy to scatter slightly. Just then, the black-robed woman let out a soft laugh, her figure suddenly advancing as she left the barbarian beast behind. Her slender fingers danced like a pipa or a harp, instantly shattering Mù Yuán's true energy. She sealed several major acupoints on his Zu Yin Liver Meridian with a few swift moves, then retrieved her silk ribbon and transformed it back into a wristband.

  The Liver Meridian of the Foot Shaoyin is the origin and convergence of the Qi of Long Life, it can be said that it is the most important part of the cultivation of the Palace of Long Life, now being sealed, all the cultivation has lost more than half.

  The woman in black skirt smiled and put Mu Yuan on the barbarian beast, riding with her. Mu Yuan leaned back against the softness, his soul was drunk for a moment, and he forgot the humiliation of being captured.

  All the way, this woman in black skirt kept teasing Mu Yuan. After a conversation, Mu Yuan learned that her name was Mo Xue, a disciple of the Guanghan Palace clan. This time, she originally came down from the mountain to have fun, but two days ago, she was teased by an unscrupulous young man without reason, and in anger, she chased him all the way here.

  Mu Yuan understood the reason in his heart, only then did he realize that he had seen a luxurious carriage before, and he secretly laughed to himself without telling anyone. On the way, nothing happened, but the Liver Meridian was sealed, and the True Qi of Longevity could not be adjusted. However, he could secretly cultivate the Chao Tai True Qi in the Kidney Meridian, which surged and flowed throughout his body, and it seemed that there were some benefits to this.

  After careful study, his mind was free from distractions, and he had abandoned the Longevity Technique. Mu Yuan had only just begun to grasp the subtleties of the Tidal Flow Technique. He had been practicing the Longevity Technique for ten years, and in the process, he had unknowingly made this true energy a crucial part of himself. His practice of the Tidal Flow was merely to enhance his Longevity True Energy. When it comes to cultivating one's mind, innate talent, enlightenment, and hard work are all important, but there is another essential factor - sincerity!

  Now refining the tide, no longer worrying about the true energy of longevity, and the boundary cultivation of Mu Yuan itself has already reached the second layer of alchemy, and there is also a special green gourd water attribute treasure to assist. In just a few days, he immediately broke through the first layer of alchemy and reached the second layer of cultivation.

  As the sloppy Taoist passed on the tide of the Qing Dynasty, there were corresponding waterways and magical powers. The Canglang Water Sword goes without saying, and there are also air swirls, dragon water absorption, ice coldness, and so on, which include all the divine powers of the water attribute that have existed since the ancient five elements Taoism. The predecessors of the generations who practiced the tide of the Qing Dynasty created the mystery of the heavens, mysterious and unparalleled!

  The secret to longevity doesn't focus on competing in martial arts, but rather emphasizes self-cultivation. The Longevity Palace is home to many virtuous and noble scholars who teach their disciples with a focus on moral character. As for the path to spiritual powers, before reaching the third level of refining energy and condensing it into the origin, not much is taught. There's only one method, the Green Wood Divine Spear, which is quite exquisite but also somewhat austere. However, when a carefree Daoist master is about to pass away, he transmits all his knowledge and techniques to his disciple in one go, imprinting them onto their wooden primordial spirit consciousness. This can be described as vast and profound, like an ocean, truly an inexhaustible treasure trove.

  When the cultivation of Qi reached its limit, Mu Yuan had nothing to do and began to study the divine techniques in it. He silently recited the divine techniques used for fighting with others, secretly stored them in his mind, and practiced them quietly. Suddenly, he felt infinite wonders, and his heart was filled with joy. He continued to practice in the sea of consciousness, gradually becoming proficient in many ways of competing with others.

  The beast that Mo Xue rode was also unknown what species it was, and its speed was extremely fast. When it ran rapidly, Mu Yuan only felt the strong wind cutting his face, like a steel knife. On this day, they arrived at a city, and the two of them stayed in an inn within the city. Mu Yuan had been admiring her for some time, and after several days of traveling together, he had become somewhat familiar with Mo Xue. During dinner, he asked, "Sister Mo, what is this mount of yours? I've never seen anything like it before."

  Mo Xue ate a few mouthfuls and was already full. It seemed that cultivators like them didn't have high demands for food. Since ancient times, there has been the concept of "eating air". Although neither of them had reached that level, they were both filled with true energy and naturally had endless vitality. Mu Yuan asked, smiling lightly, "This mount is called Long Xi, its skin is thick and rough, it's sturdy and can withstand a beating, its endurance is also extremely good. Moreover, it has the nature of a dragon, although it can't ride the clouds or drive the fog, its speed is far superior to that of a fine horse or a divine steed."

  Mu Yuan listened and became even more envious in his heart, "I don't know where sister caught it from, when I have time, I'll go find one too, and bring it back to play."

  Her eyes sparkled like a clear autumn lake, making Mu Yuan's heart skip a beat. Seeing her smiling and staring at him absent-mindedly, his heart thumped wildly, and he hastily lowered his head, thinking to himself that this woman had chased him down all the way because of a few teasing words from him, and if he continued to stare at her so intently, who knows what kind of suffering he would have to endure before meeting his demise.

  Jian Mu lowered his head and didn't look, Mo Xue chuckled lightly, "Why isn't little Jian looking? Is it because sister's appearance is ugly, making you afraid?"

  Mu Yuan smiled and thought to himself, "Indeed, it's true. Perhaps there wouldn't be any beauties in the world." But he knew that Mo Xue looked flirtatious and frivolous, but wasn't actually like that. He immediately let out a dry laugh, "Dragon horn, dragon horn!"

  Mo Xue let out a soft sigh, "This dragon rhinoceros was given to me by my master, how could I possibly catch one on my own? The dragon rhinoceros has boundless strength and is ferocious and violent. Don't be fooled by its gentle appearance now, if it were an untamed wild dragon rhinoceros, it would be a disaster waiting to happen, and even with our skills combined, we might not be able to withstand it!"

  "Is it that severe?" Mu Yuan was quite surprised, and just as he was about to speak, a young and handsome man entered from the doorway, wearing luxurious brocade clothes with golden edges, looking elegant and refined. He held a folding fan in his hand, gently swaying it back and forth, exuding an air of elegance.

  "This man is indeed handsome, even the ancient Pan An and Song Yu might not be as good-looking. When he walks through the bustling streets, he must attract the attention of many young women, and who knows, maybe there will even be a scene where a group of women fight over him!" Mu Yuan thought to herself, this man had red lips and white teeth, yet also had sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes, his handsome appearance carried a hint of elegance, making it easy for people to have a good impression of him. The women surrounded him, while the men felt embarrassed.

  Who would have thought that upon seeing this person, Mo Xue's eyebrows rose in a fierce challenge, and his body immediately erupted with an intense killing aura, startling Mu Yuan so much that he was shocked. He secretly wondered if this person was the young master who had been pursued by Mo Xue all along, and silently prayed for him. Sure enough, Mo Xue stood up from his seat, his fingers like swords, without saying a word, directly striking the man's chest at the Tan Zhong point!

  This young master is obviously also a skilled martial artist. As soon as he entered the store, he saw Mo Xue and felt uneasy in his heart. When Mo Xue made her move, he tapped both feet, swung his fan, retreated while advancing to meet Mo Xue's sword!

  "Not bad, but unfortunately, your internal strength is far from Mo Xue's Tian Xin True Qi!" Mu Yuan drew a conclusion in secret after just one glance!

  The Guang Han Palace cultivates the Tian Xin Ming Yue Xin Fa, with a true energy that is as bright and clear as the moon. When attacking an enemy, the true energy surges forth like a brilliant moon in the sky, shining brightly and flowing like liquid silver, penetrating every opening and making it impossible for others to resist!

  That carefree young master responded extremely quickly, loudly shouting in his mouth as if calling out to someone. Then four angry shouts were heard, and four robust palm forces struck through the window frame, compressing the air and producing a bursting sound that directly attacked Mo Xue's entire body!

  "Good grief, they're all masters! Even if they can't compare to Gai Tiancheng, they're not far off. Who is this young master, anyway? He actually has such a powerful martial artist as his escort!" Mu Yuan was shocked in his heart, knowing that Mo Xue absolutely couldn't withstand the siege of these four people. He hastily urged on the Chao Tai True Qi, striking at the sealed Zuyin Liver Meridian!

  Mo Xue's cultivation was slightly higher than Mu Yuan's, but not by much. On that day, she was able to subdue Mu Yuan, which was due to her own exquisite divine abilities, but also because Mu Yuan lacked experience in fighting against enemies, and his divine abilities were extremely limited when facing an enemy. Along the way, Qingmu's divine aura was tightly suppressed by Mo Xue's silk ribbon, which ultimately led to his capture.

  But these four palm forces, majestic and powerful, unexpectedly complemented each other perfectly, sealing off Mo Xue's major acupoints all over her body, even blocking the space for her to retreat, stubbornly insisting on competing with Mo Xue in a contest of true energy!
