Slowly adjusting the rhythm and frequency of his breathing, Jun Xiaomo stopped absorbing spiritual energy and opened his eyes from meditation.
Feeling the true energy flowing slowly in his body like a trickle, Jun Xiaomo's lips curved in a small arc.
Things went more smoothly than she imagined. She originally thought that since this secret book of exercises was so difficult, it might take several attempts to successfully transform the Qi. However, she did not expect that she succeeded in one go and did not feel much hindrance.
One part of true energy is equal to two parts of spiritual energy or two parts of devilish energy. Therefore, the reserve of spiritual energy or devilish energy in Jun Xiaomo's body is twice as much as at the beginning.
If Jun Xiaomo's meridians and Dantian are compared to a container, then while the volume of the container remains unchanged, the "qi" in her body is compressed and becomes more solid, so the "qi" that can be accommodated is always The quantity has also increased.
This has a huge advantage in combat. When facing an evenly matched opponent of the same level, just relying on the extra magic energy or spiritual energy can consume the opponent to death.
"According to this, the "Nine Revolutions of Spiritual Demon Body Refining Technique" is not very difficult to practice." Jun Xiaomo said to himself in confusion, thinking that the author of this secret book wrote on the title page "It is extremely difficult to practice. Are the words "choose carefully" an exaggeration
Jun Xiaomo tried to create a spell that could be completed at the first level of Qi training, the fire spell, to see if it would be more powerful when the spiritual energy reserves were doubled. As a result, she couldn't even get a single spark. Wipe it out.
"How is this going?!"
Jun Xiaomo tried again several times, and was shocked to find that they all failed!
Will practicing this technique reduce the success rate of spell casting? That’s too silly. I wish the author of this secret book hadn’t mentioned it before! Jun Xiaomo thought in confusion and quickly closed his eyes.
Slowly, the appearance of the book emerged in her mind, and she "turned" page by page based on her memory.
With the experience of her previous life, Jun Xiaomo's soul has been tempered very strongly, and her mental power has also reached a very high level. When her mental power reaches a certain level, she can never forget it.
Therefore, Jun Xiaomo can "read" this book in his memory at any time, which is equivalent to recalling it again.
"I see… "
Jun Xiaomo found the crux of the matter - it turns out that true energy cannot be used directly in combat. It must be converted into spiritual energy or demonic energy again before it can be used to drive spells, spiritual swords and formations.
Moreover, the practice method of "Nine Transformations of Spirit Demon Body Refining Technique" during the Qi training period is also different from the traditional one.
In her previous life, whether Jun Xiaomo was cultivating demons or cultivating Taoism, during the Qi training period, she only needed to meditate regularly, and then breathe out the spiritual energy or demonic energy between heaven and earth according to each level of magic formula. The demonic energy and spiritual energy absorbed during this process will not remain in the body stably, but will spontaneously escape, forming an "external circulation" between the practitioner and the environment.
Driven by this cycle, the practitioner's physique will be gradually transformed, and finally quantitative changes will lead to qualitative changes, reaching a higher level and laying a solid foundation for entering the foundation-building period.
However, after practicing the "Nine Turns of Spirit Demon Refining Technique", the true energy stored in the meridians and Dantian will not escape automatically. It requires the action of an "external force" to form a similar cycle.
This "external force" is the formula for converting the true energy in the cultivator's body into spiritual energy or demonic energy. The formula for transforming into demonic energy is different from the formula for transforming into spiritual energy. The practitioner can use it according to his or her own situation. Choose to use.
“Filling the meridians and Dantian with true energy is a positive cycle, and then converting all the true energy in the meridians and Dantian into demonic energy and spiritual energy to escape, this is a reverse cycle. The two cycles are combined to form a complete cycle. Each practice needs to complete a complete external cycle in order to achieve the effect of gradually changing the physical constitution."
Jun Xiaomo silently read a passage from "Nine Revolutions of Spirit Demon Body Refining Technique" and frowned slightly.
After a long time, she sighed softly and whispered: "Sure enough, the Tianji technique that spans nine realms is not that easy to practice. It is much more troublesome than ordinary techniques."
Just now, she had only completed the stage of filling the meridians and Dantian with true energy. There was also a reverse "escape" stage, which she had not completed, so it could not be considered a complete cultivation process.
Jun Xiaomo crossed his legs and closed his eyes again. Since she was still in the sect, she could not blatantly cultivate demons, so she chose the formula to turn true energy into spiritual energy.
One stick of incense passed... Two sticks of incense passed... Three sticks of incense passed... An hour passed...
"What's going on? Why is there no movement at all?!" Jun Xiaomo woke up from his trance, and the only expression on his face was shock.
The true energy in her body only circulated smoothly in the meridians and Dantian, but it could not be transformed into spiritual energy and escaped at all.
"Is the formula wrong? Think about it again." Jun Xiaomo closed his eyes and sorted out his thoughts carefully.
"That's right." Jun Xiaomo's delicate eyebrows furrowed even more tightly, not knowing what the problem was.
If the true energy in her body cannot be transformed into spiritual energy and demonic energy, she will not be able to even reach the first level of Qi training, and she will really have to be a "waste" forever.
Jun Xiaomo suppressed his frantic heartbeat and tried to calm down.
No, since spiritual energy and demonic energy can be transformed into true energy, how can it be possible that true energy cannot be transformed into spiritual energy and devilish energy? Certainly possible! Jun Xiaomo silently encouraged himself.
I just didn't expect that it is easy to transform spiritual energy and demonic energy into true energy, but it is so difficult to transform true energy in the reverse direction.
Jun Xiaomo decided to give it another try.
Another hour passed, and Jun Xiaomo could finally clearly feel that the swelling and pain caused by the filling of his meridians and Dantian had disappeared a lot. This proved that the formula was still useful, and some true energy had indeed been converted into spiritual energy. Escaped.
However, the efficiency of this conversion is too low! It took nearly two hours of transformation, but in the end, maybe not even one ten thousandth of the infuriating energy was transformed.
Jun Xiaomo had no better way for the time being, so she could only grit her teeth and continue the transformation.
When the morning sun shone all over the earth, Jun Xiaomo finally felt exhausted after practicing all night.
She stopped her practice, released her trance state, and just sat quietly on her bed with her eyes closed.
Nearly five hours have passed since she began to reversely transform the true energy. However, she roughly estimated that the successfully escaped true energy accounted for less than one thousandth of the total amount of true energy in the meridians and Dantian. .
With this efficiency, how long does it take for her to meditate to complete an "external circuit", and how many times does she have to perform "external circuits" to advance from the first level of Qi training to the second level of Qi training
Let alone reaching the ninth level of Qi training.
Just yesterday, she vowed to reach the ninth level of Qi training within three years and then terminate her engagement with Qin Lingyu.
As a result, she was slapped in the face today - she picked a book that was so difficult to practice, and now she felt like she shot herself in the foot.
Jun Xiaomo helplessly held his forehead and chuckled to himself.
It seems that people really can't be too full of words. Wouldn't it be better if they insisted on not marrying Qin Lingyu yesterday? I really don’t know if the conditions set now can be fulfilled.
Jun Xiaomo felt depressed and decided to go for a walk. She wanted to take a look at the familiar or unfamiliar scenery in the sect to relieve her anxiety and agitation caused by the cultivation situation.
Jun Xiaomo was walking aimlessly. Unknowingly, she didn't know where she was going.
"Hey, I was still thinking about who it was. This red dress is quite dazzling. I didn't expect it to be Jun Xiaomo, the daughter of the master of Lintian Peak~" A person deliberately prolonged his tone to make people annoying for no reason. The voice appeared in his ears, and Jun Xiaomo frowned and listened.
"Dai Yue?" Jun Xiaomo called out the identity of the person with some hesitation.
"Oh, what's the matter? I haven't seen you for a while. Did you even run out of amnesia? That's right. A person who can sneak into a forbidden area and be severely punished by the elders. In the end, he can't even keep his cultivation level. I'm afraid his mind is not that smart. Go." Dai Yue said sarcastically, squinting at Jun Xiaomo from the corners of his eyes, full of contempt.
It's no wonder that Jun Xiaomo is not sure about Dai Yue's identity. In addition to her previous life, the last time she saw Dai Yue was more than sixty years ago, and she has never heard of this person's existence since then. Now she has How can we immediately connect this person's appearance with the person in our memory
However, after confirming Dai Yue's identity, Jun Xiaomo remembered many details.
"Dai Yue, aren't you from the Hengyue Sect? Why did you come to the Xuyang Sect?" Jun Xiaomo asked calmly.
Heng Yue Sect, like Xu Yang Sect, is an intermediate sect ranked in the top ten in terms of comprehensive strength. There have been many open and secret battles over the years, and the qualifying matches have been played no less than a hundred times, but this has also promoted the disciples of the two sects. A cultivation atmosphere in which everyone strives for improvement.
Dai Yue was very dissatisfied with Jun Xiaomo's salty tone. She proudly raised her chin and said to Jun Xiaomo: "Jun Xiaomo, do you still remember our five-year agreement?"
"Five-year agreement?"
"Yes, three years ago, you and I fell in love with Senior Brother Ling Yu. We originally agreed that we would compete in the intermediate sect qualifying competition the year after next. Whoever wins will be more qualified to chase Ling Yu. Senior brother, you haven’t forgotten, have you?”
Jun Xiaomo was stunned when Dai Yue said that she had selectively forgotten a lot about Qin Lingyu. When Dai Yue mentioned it, she vaguely remembered such a thing.
Dai Yue was infuriated by the confusion that flashed across Jun Xiaomo's face. She pointed at Jun Xiaomo's nose and cursed: "I knew you forgot, ha, we promised fair competition, but now what? You got there first?" Di and Senior Brother Ling Yu have made an engagement! You Jun Xiaomo, a dishonest person, deserves to have your cultivation level reduced to the first level of Qi training!"
It's okay that Dai Yue didn't mention the engagement, but when he mentioned the engagement, Jun Xiaomo felt a sullen breath in his throat!
"It was Qin Lingyu who proposed to me, what does it have to do with me?" Jun Xiaomo said coldly to Dai Yue. This sentence went straight to Dai Yue's heart, pushing the sourness in her heart out. Risk.
What she said was not a lie. It was indeed Qin Lingyu who proposed first. As for the real purpose behind Qin Lingyu's proposal, Jun Xiaomo didn't bother to remind this jealous woman.
"Impossible!" Dai Yue said angrily, "It must be you who pestered Senior Brother Ling Yu with your words, so he had no choice but to agree to the engagement with you!"
"Believe it or not!" Jun Xiaomo really didn't want to get involved with anyone or anything related to Qin Lingyu. She was too lazy to stand here with Dai Yue and do some boring jealousy, so she rolled up her sleeves and was about to leave.
As for why Dai Yue from Hengyue Sect appeared in Xuyang Sect, she didn't even want to worry about it. It wasn't something she should worry about anyway.
"Stop!" Dai Yue was very angry at the feeling of being punched on cotton. She glared at Jun Xiaomo's back and shouted.
Jun Xiaomo didn't even want to look back and continued walking forward.
"Good on you, Jun Xiaomo!" Dai Yue has never been a good-tempered person. She whispered through gritted teeth. The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. Her eyes suddenly turned red and she cursed, "Jun Xiaomo, suffer death!" After saying that, he suddenly pulled out a belt from his waist and attacked Jun Xiaomo straight at him!
Jun Xiaomo had already heard what Dai Yue said. She tried to avoid it, but her movements were stagnant because the energy in her meridians and Dantian could not be mobilized. At this moment of pause, Dai Yue's belt hit Jun Xiaomo hard. Jun Xiaomo felt a sharp tearing pain from her back, and her body flew away like a kite with its string broken. He went out and fell heavily to the ground.
"Pfft-" Jun Xiaomo felt his throat itching, and a mouthful of blood spurted out.
