Chapter 38: Wild Goose Qigong Heart Method
Li Ruo's eyes were filled with infinite expectation as he looked at the corpse of the green-robed man on the ground. Suddenly, an idea flashed through his mind, and he excitedly squatted down to pull a cloth bag from the corpse, dumping all its contents out with a rustling sound.
As expected, a pigeon egg-sized bead suddenly appeared in Li Nian's line of sight.
Li Ran's knife was excited and couldn't help but dance with joy.
This iron beast's demon core, after a series of twists and turns, miraculously returned to his own hands, Li Ruo was both shocked and delighted. Holding the demon core in the palm of his hand, the energy inside surged like a tide, that was the iron beast's life essence. With this demon core, Li Ruo's path to increasing his power would once again become smooth.
Delighted, he put the demon pill into his bag and rummaged around on the ground again.
There were over fifty taels of loose silver, which Li Ruo picked up with his knife.
Li Rengdao knew that cultivators who entered the Misty Valley basically had no chance to use silver, so everyone carried a small amount of silver with them for emergencies. Li Rengdao robbed so many people and only got more than 110 taels of silver.
On the body of the man in green, apart from these, there was only a handkerchief, a dagger, several sleeve arrows, and an ancient jade. Li Ran's knife had obtained the demon dan of the iron beast, and he felt satisfied in his heart, kicking those useless things to one side, just about to stand up, when suddenly his face changed color.
He squatted down again, picked up the ancient jade that had been kicked far away, held it in his hand and examined it carefully. His heart was moved by a subtle fluctuation on this ancient jade, which made Li Ruo's knife nod secretly.
"Could this be an ordinary pendant? It's actually a jade grommet tube?"
Li Ran's eyes lit up slowly as he turned the ancient jade over in his hands, and the more he looked at it, the more it seemed to resemble something.
In his previous life, Li Ran was a strong man in the Divine Movement period. He could release his divine sense to explore objects and knew that there was a special jade tube for storing information in the Xiumen sect. It was done by compressing some secret techniques and inheritance information into a special ancient jade through one's divine sense. Those who obtained it could watch those pieces of information in the ancient jade by releasing their divine sense.
He can't release his divine sense now, and he doesn't know if this ancient jade is a Jade Pupil Tube or not. However, with the mentality of holding on to something once he has it in his hands, he casually picked up the ancient jade as well.
He stood up, adjusted his clothes, and walked out of the cave with large strides. He passed through the wisteria sea and returned to the other side of the cave where he had found the small sword. After searching carefully for a long time, just like the person in green clothes, he finally knew that there should be no other spiritual objects here. Li Ruo Knife gave up and quietly left, passing through the wisteria sea and fleeing into the distance.
It's not safe in the mountain cave, so let's find another place to cultivate instead.
As before, Li Ruo went extremely far and climbed up a barren mountain ridge. He found a stone cave behind a boulder on the mountain waist and settled in, hiding here where no one would find him again.
Li Ruo has an urgent wish now.
The first step of the Wild Goose Qigong, only requires a strength of Jing Qi second level to be performed, while the second step, however, at least needs a strength of Jing Qi fifth level.
If he could have deployed the second step of the Wild Goose Qigong earlier, perhaps in that chase by the man in green clothes, Li Ran's knife would not have needed to use any clever tricks, and just running fast would have been enough to easily shake him off. This shows how important speed is when one's strength is weak.
Li Ruo Knife sat cross-legged in the mountain cave, took a sip of sweet and fragrant honey, swallowed it into his abdomen, closed his eyes and entered meditation. He saw countless threads of energy entering his meridians, with the circulation of the microcosmic orbit, they gradually converged into his lower dantian.
In such a dull and lonely cultivation, one month passed, two months passed.
Two months of cultivation, Li Ranno's body maximized the energy inside, compressing the three-foot-high floating energy to one foot, and the essence of his vitality became more concentrated and pure. The wild Ling honey supplemented Li Ranno with a large amount of pure and warm energy, causing his essence to increase at a visible rate day by day.
On this day, Li Ruo Dao once again absorbed a surge of energy into his dantian, and with a deafening crash in his chest, he stepped into a vast expanse of heaven and earth. The boundary of the Five Realms of Jingyuan was finally broken through by him, and Li Ruo Dao stood at a brand new starting point for his power. Suddenly, he felt that the sky was high and the earth was far away, with radiant sunshine shining down, and endless vastness stretching out before him.
"Finally broke through again. Haha, now I have the strength to venture deeper into the Misty Valley and continue searching for the spiritual medicine."
Li Ran's heart was excited, and he slowly ran the energy for several cycles to thoroughly consolidate this realm before opening his eyes. The essence of his eyes was introverted, the black and white of his eyeballs were distinct, clear as water, and the hierarchy and outline of the heaven and earth were clearer in his eyes.
The quintuple power after consolidation is several times stronger than in previous days.
Li Ran's heart was filled with joy, and he slid down from the mountain ridge, rushing further into the depths of the Misty Valley.
In front of him was a sparse thicket, Li Ran's knife rushed into the forest, silently thinking about the second heavy heart method of Yanling Gong, exercising Jing Qi, storing thoughts in Yuzhen hole, slightly bending his knees, and lightly popping up.
The body is like a slow rise, although in the air without anything to rely on, it can also turn freely.
Li Ran took a step to the side and landed lightly on a branch, which swayed several times but did not break.
Li Ruo was overjoyed in his heart and knew he had succeeded.
The Wild Goose Qigong's second level is quite mysterious, requiring a great deal of Jing Qi to operate. Li Ran has only just begun to touch the threshold of this level.
Following the heart method, the essence of energy propelled him forward, leaping out flat and flying over a dozen feet, landing on the branch of the second tree. With one bounce, he jumped to another branch. As his breath smoothed out, Li Ran felt as light as a wild goose, his body flowing smoothly in mid-air like riding the wind.
Regaining the feeling of his past life, Li Ran's knife was both shocked and delighted. Now his speed was much faster than before breaking through. The strong in the divine movement period were fast, but they couldn't fly so elegantly on the treetops like this.
Li Ran's dagger relied on its mysterious body method and traversed through the Misty Valley for over a month.
Wild spiritual medicine is indeed hard to find, the Misty Valley is vast, and in such a vast and majestic mountain range, finding spiritual medicine is no different from picking needles from the sea. The spiritual medicines sold outside are generally cultivated by spiritual medicine practitioners, and their medicinal properties are far inferior to those of wild spiritual medicines in the mountains.
After such a long time, Li Ran had only obtained one Cynanchum and one Fire Lotus.
Li Ran's mind was secretly calculating, now he had the following items on his body that could increase his power: a gourd of honey, an iron beast's demon core, some remaining black hair dye and safflower, plus this cypress ear and fire lotus, which was quite a rich harvest.
There's also over a hundred taels of silver left, which can be used to buy another small batch of spiritual medicine if needed.
Li Ruo Dao has been in the valley for nearly four months, and the day of the Xuanji Sect's disciple selection competition is approaching. Li Ruo Dao needs to hurry back to Wanghe Village to register, and then head to the Xuanji Sect together with others. The journey will take more than 20 days. Calculating the time, it's really not much, by the time he gets back.
