When Li Yan returned to the gate of the courtyard, there were already two young men standing there. They turned out to be servants who had arrived here earlier. Their cultivation was higher than Li Yan's. They had arrived while Wei Chongran was still explaining things.
The two men bowed respectfully to Li Yan, and after Li Yan opened the gate, they quickly moved a set of stone tables and stone benches into the yard. However, they did not have storage bags, so they could only carry them from the foot of the mountain and fly all the way here.
This is nothing for two cultivators who are around the fifth level of Qi Condensation Stage.
After the two of them deftly placed the stone table and stone benches, they looked at Li Yan with an inquiring look, and one of the yellow-clothed servants asked carefully.
"Uncle Junior Master, do we need to clean up the rest of the place?"
Li Yan smiled and waved at the two of them, then asked them to go back. Li Yan didn't have the energy to let them clean up here. He just wanted to solve the cultivation problem that was giving him a headache as soon as possible.
With a flick of his robe sleeves, the courtyard door closed again. Li Yan walked quickly to the training room. After closing the door of the training room again, Li Yan sat cross-legged.
The next moment, his consciousness had arrived in the sea of consciousness, where three purple spots of light were floating. They were the contents of the jade slip that recorded the summary and experience of Zhili Poison Body's cultivation.
There is no mantra for practicing the Disintegrated Poison Body, only the records of insights and experiences after practicing it for reference by future generations.
The three jade slips are placed respectively on Xiaozhu Peak, Laojun Peak and Lingchong Peak, which are also the mountains where the three predecessors came from. This kind of purple jade slip cannot be exchanged for spirit stones, but only those who meet the conditions and get the approval of the sect's top leaders can see it.
Originally, with Wei Chongran's status, he could only get a purple jade slip from Xiaozhu Peak, but the sect master had already explained to all the peaks last time that all resources related to the cultivation of the Disintegrated Poison Body would be open to Li Yan, so he could get it smoothly.
The reason why the sect did not give these to Li Yan immediately was because of the special nature of the disintegrated poisonous body.
The three predecessors once said that before successfully cultivating this poisonous body, it is possible to find out the successful way to cultivate this poisonous body by referring to it. If it has already been cultivated successfully, it is best not to give reference unless the other party encounters problems.
Because even among the same fragmented poisonous bodies, some of their directions are different and may lead to the wrong path, and the result may be counterproductive and even ruin things.
But who would have known that he would meet Li Yan, a novice cultivator who had no foundation in cultivation at all. Whenever he encountered some problems, he was unable to make any judgments on his own.
Think about it, those immortal cultivators basically started practicing since childhood, and have heard and seen a lot of knowledge in all aspects. When encountering things, they always have some experience to learn from, but Li Yan just doesn't have this knowledge accumulation.
Therefore, after some consideration, Wei Chongran decided that instead of letting him slowly accumulate knowledge indirectly, it would be better to let him directly learn from the experience of his predecessors. At least this way he could avoid taking detours.
As for the possibility of leading Li Yan in the wrong direction, he has different ideas. Who can guarantee that after reading these experience summaries, Li Yan's direction is wrong? These are unverifiable.
It has to be said that these are all in line with Wei Chongran's character. He believes in taking things as they come, using what he has and thinking about what he doesn't have.
After Li Yan slowly opened a purple light spot, his consciousness sank into it and slowly read it, and Li Yan's thoughts also entered into contemplation.
Two days and one night later, when Li Yan opened his eyes, there was a hint of understanding in his eyes.
These jade slips contain a lot of information, from the little bits and pieces of feelings during daily practice to the author's various insights into the practice process.
Li Yan was unable to digest them one by one, so he only analyzed and understood the parts that he could understand at the moment. He could only memorize the rest and digest them slowly in the future.
Even so, with his powerful memory as a cultivator, he still remembers feeling dizzy and confused.
Li Yan did not directly get what he wanted to know from this information, but he was able to judge his current physical condition through some information.
Among these messages, the senior from Lingchong Peak said the following.
"When the Qi is condensed, the body breaks into ten pieces; when the foundation is built, ten pieces break into a hundred; when the golden elixir breaks into a hundred pieces, it becomes a thousand; when the Nascent Soul breaks into a thousand pieces, it becomes ten thousand. With every breath, it breaks into pieces."
Here, Li Yan could roughly guess that it was explaining the condition of the dismembered poisonous body, but he paid more attention to the last sentence. The last sentence was related to breathing, so in his opinion, this did not refer to simple breathing, but should be the inhalation and exhalation of breath.
As for the other two jade slips, they did not mention similar content, and we don’t know whether they were not recorded or the circumstances were different.
Li Yan pondered for a long time, then he closed his eyes again and silently practiced the Guishui Sutra. However, this time he was not really practicing, but to make sure whether the result was what he expected.
Li Yan stood motionless like an old monk in meditation. Half an hour later, Li Yan's body shook a bit. At this time, Li Yan's face showed half happiness and half worry.
Just now, he circulated the magic power in his body and moved it slowly through his meridians, and then his spiritual consciousness followed the spiritual power and observed carefully.
At the beginning, when the spiritual power came out of the dantian, everything was normal, but after running for a distance, some abnormalities appeared, and the spiritual power was slowly decreasing.
But this reduction is so slight that it is difficult to notice if you don't look carefully.
This is also because Li Yan's cultivation is too low, and his ability to control himself is not that strong. If he is a master, he can control the magic power in his body to the point of being as subtle as a thread. Normally, even if there is a slight abnormal change in the magic power in his body, he will know the situation immediately.
After this spiritual power circulated for a circle, it did not become more refined or stronger like after normal practice, but there was a slight loss and reduction.
This shocked Li Yan, he didn't know why there was such a slight reduction process. Next, he observed again, the magic power was running for another week, this time the spiritual power was running at a slower speed, and he also increased his spiritual consciousness, not missing every inch of the spiritual power.
He wanted to find out how the spiritual power was reduced. Finally, after careful detection, he found that when the spiritual power passed through certain meridian nodes, it would inexplicably disappear a little, as if there were loopholes in those places.
So Li Yan looked at the meridian nodes carefully again and finally found something wrong. There were twelve problematic meridian nodes in total, which were the twelve main meridians in the body.
At first glance, there seems to be nothing wrong with these twelve nodes, but through repeated and careful inspection with spiritual consciousness, it can be found that there is an invisible crack on it.
This crack is invisible as the muscles and meridians expand and contract due to their elasticity, but when magic power flows through, the cracks will be slightly revealed due to the filling and swelling of the spiritual power passing through.
At that time, a trace of magic power will leak out and merge into the flesh and blood.
Today, when he saw "the condensed energy was broken into pieces, and the body was shattered into ten pieces... the Nascent Soul was broken into thousands and thousands; with every breath, it was broken into pieces."
I thought that it must be the body that was divided, causing the leakage of spiritual energy. Finally, I confirmed this idea that my body was divided into twelve parts according to the meridian nodes.
Now that the cause has been found, how do we solve it
Li Yan then checked the records of the three predecessors again. This time he sat for most of the day, but this time Li Yan was disappointed.
There is no mention of the method of practicing the Disintegrated Poisonous Body, because there is no fixed pattern for this technique. It is just a special physique that will change as one's cultivation level advances.
Three more days passed as Li Yan continued to grope for a solution. He had begun to become a little frustrated. He simply could not find any solution. Over and over again, he rejected one answer after another.
Now he basically believes that he may have lost his path to becoming an immortal. This is God playing a joke on him, sending him two opportunities, but they turned into a joke.
But he was still unwilling to give up. Originally, he was a mortal who did not want to cultivate immortality and just wanted to live a peaceful life with his family. After experiencing countless hardships, when he really decided to embark on the journey of cultivating immortality, he died at the very beginning. How could he be willing to give up
He tried again from the Guishui Sutra, hoping to find a solution, but no matter how he adjusted his spiritual power, no matter how he analyzed every sentence and every word in the Guishui Sutra over and over again, as soon as he circulated his magic power, it leaked out and disappeared as soon as it passed those twelve nodes.
At this time, Li Yan was extremely haggard, with bloodshot eyes, like a helpless lone wolf on the grassland.
He let out a long sigh, knowing that he couldn't go on like this, so he simply fell asleep in the practice room. If he couldn't find the answer after studying for a few more days after waking up, he would have to go directly to the fat master.
I hope that he will send him back to the mortal world then, for the sake of their friendship as master and disciple.
As for the matter of Guishui Sutra, he was determined not to tell it. Although he had cut off his path to becoming an immortal, he could not cut off Dong Fuyi's gratitude for saving his life. The most he could do was to burn a few more incense sticks in the future and pray that Dong Fuyi could find a more suitable successor in that unknown and dangerous place.
Just like that, Li Yan fell asleep in his wild thoughts, but the information from the Guishui Sutra and the three jade slips continued to flood his mind.
Just like that, after sleeping for an unknown amount of time, Li Yan suddenly sat up from his sleep. He still looked sleepy, but there was a look of surprise on his face.
In fact, he did not sleep well. As the saying goes, "What you think about during the day, you dream about at night." In his dream, he was thinking of the following passage in the jade slip, which made him sit up suddenly.
"During the Qi Condensation Stage, the body of the Fragmented Poisonous Body is separated into ten different parts, each with its own method, running and nourishing, and through this process it grows into different poisons.
The poison is harmless to the practitioner, but it is difficult to control at first and needs to be slowly learned and used until one becomes proficient in its use.
As the cultivation level increases, the separated poisonous bodies will gradually separate into more and smaller independent poisonous bodies. When it reaches a certain level, the cultivator can combine two or more separated bodies into a new unknown toxin in the body. If the cultivator is good at it, the attack power will be unpredictable. "
This passage was originally the summary of the senior's description of the attack and application of the Fragmented Poison Body. It also explained why Li Yan had different results when he used the "Cloud and Rain Technique" twice.
That is because the spiritual power he released at last was no longer pure spiritual power, but contained the poisonous spiritual power produced by the fragmentation of the poisonous body. Moreover, he was unable to separate his poisonous body when releasing it twice, resulting in different results.
At the time, Li Yan only understood why the "Cloud and Rain Technique" would have such a result, but at that time he was looking for a solution to the root cause of his inability to practice, and did not think about it deeply.
These words appeared in Li Yan's dream today, along with other information. Suddenly, it was like a flash of lightning in the darkness, illuminating his entire dream, and he woke up immediately.
"When the body of the Fragmented Poison Body reaches the Qi Condensation Stage, it is separated into ten different parts, each with its own law... each with its own law... each with its own law..."
Li Yan kept muttering to himself.
"There are twelve pieces in the body. Those are not cracks, but gaps that have not been truly separated...
The fact that practitioners can reassemble two or more separated bodies shows that each separated piece is independent, fragmented, fragmented, hehe...
I understand. Only when it is broken can it be fragmented. Otherwise, how can it be fragmented? What is in my body is an unfinished fragmented poisonous body, an incomplete poisonous body..."
Li Yan just sat on the ground, talking to himself half crazy, but his eyes were getting brighter and brighter.
