Looking at his left hand, Li Yan thought in his heart.
“It didn’t penetrate completely?”
There was not even a frown on his facial expression, and his eyes were staring at the bloody hole in the palm of his right hand without blinking.
As he raised his left index finger, a faint silver light appeared in the blood hole, and then the flesh and blood quickly gathered in the silver light at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Seeing this situation, Li Yan finally put aside some of his previous worries.
"As long as the body recovers, the consumed silver regeneration power will be restored again. The refined blood essence is completely integrated into the body. It is not just 'integrated' and will disappear after it is consumed."
The body's ability to regenerate itself is one of Li Yan's several life-saving trump cards. Otherwise, with his foundation-building skills and no one to rely on, it would be very dangerous on this continent.
Therefore, as soon as his strength recovered, he immediately started testing. If the silver light in his body was gone, then he would have to consider spending more time to refine some more of the "Immortal Dark Phoenix" essence and blood for self-defense.
If it was just an ordinary cut, it probably wouldn't be possible for the Silver Light to protect the body. The Qiongqi Purgatory Technique alone would be enough to make the wound heal quickly.
Therefore, he could only be ruthless to himself.
But what he didn't expect was that even though he had completely given up on defending his right hand, his seemingly effortless finger had actually mobilized 70% of his spiritual power.
At the same time, even with the help of Qiongqi's Purgatory Technique, the right hand still could not be pierced, which was enough to shock people.
Li Yan’s punch was now enough to shatter the body of a person in the early stage of foundation building, but it did not pierce his own palm.
Li Yan was quite satisfied with this point. He felt that his physical body was already comparable to a low-level magic weapon.
After calming himself down, Li Yan started to circulate his spiritual power, and soon a layer of black mist enveloped his entire body.
Li Yan stood in the black air, stretched out a finger and pressed the black air outside his body. Wherever his fingertips touched, he could feel a large amount of water vapor wrapped in the black air.
When Li Yan pressed on it, the black gas only sank a part outwards, and he felt a strong sense of substance at his fingertips, as if he was pressing on a very elastic water wall.
This is very different from the improvement of his magic power half a year ago in Fengliang Mountain. At that time, when he released his spiritual power, the circles of black air outside his body could only turn into water threads. Now, the water vapor contained in the mist is becoming more and more dense.
"This time I can be considered to have escaped a disaster. It's a blessing in disguise."
When Li Yan was recovering from his injuries, he discovered that his cultivation had actually improved significantly. His Fake Dan realm was solid and stable, condensed and heavy, and at the same time, he had taken a small step towards the peak.
Now one can tell just by looking at the degree of condensation of the water vapor. When one day the water in the spiritual power becomes dense and condenses into crystals, it will be time for him to condense the golden elixir.
The transformation of spiritual energy into liquid is a symbol of the successful foundation building of the Qi Condensation cultivator. From the foundation building to the false pill, it is a process of constantly refining and purifying the spiritual energy into liquid in the body.
Only after reaching the false elixir stage, these spiritual liquids begin to slowly compress and continuously refine, making final preparations for condensing the golden elixir.
However, countless foundation-building cultivators have been unable to complete this process in their entire lives, as the spiritual energy in their bodies has always been in a loose, liquefied state.
At this point, it is no longer possible to accomplish the task through hard practice alone, and one needs to seek external help, such as swallowing pills that can purify the spiritual power.
The cause of this is usually related to the level of the technique one is practicing and one's qualifications for cultivating immortality.
This time, Li Yan's spiritual power in his dantian was completely consumed. After it recovered, the spiritual power generated by the five spiritual power cauldrons had been essentially improved.
The more solidified his spiritual power was, the more powerful his attack power was. The power of the spells he cast with the same 10% of spiritual power was increased by at least 30% due to the purer spiritual power.
Li Yan's eyes flashed, and he casually shot out a "water arrow technique".
With a "hiss" sound, a small dark hole appeared on the cave wall five meters away from him.
Li Yan used his spiritual sense to investigate and found that the small hole was about thirty feet deep. Li Yan was quite satisfied with this attack.
When he had used the Thousand Luo Ancient Ape and embedded eighty spirit stones in it, it was equivalent to the force of a full-strength attack by a cultivator in the early stages of foundation building. In the end, he only left a cave of more than ten feet on the mountain wall.
The rock hardness of the mountain wall here was no weaker than that of the mountain behind Xiaozhu Peak. Now, with just a casual blow from him, he could already surpass a cultivator in the early stage of foundation building by many times.
After confirming his current strength, Li Yan finally felt relieved.
At least now, even if he meets the two demons again, even if there is a middle-stage Jindan, Li Yan feels that his chance of escape is as high as 30%.
Half a year ago, Li Yan only met Teng Wuji, a middle-stage Jindan cultivator, and he himself did not have much hope of escaping.
However, there is still an insurmountable gap between him and the Jindan cultivators, and his best chance of winning is to use sneak attacks and covert attacks.
In a head-on fight, he can only compete with an ordinary early stage Jindan with his physical body.
As for the battle of magic, forget it. His spiritual attack power is far inferior to that of the opponent, and he will be crushed to death by the opponent.
After weighing the matter in his mind again, Li Yan clearly placed himself in a position so as to avoid misjudging his own strength and bringing himself fatal disaster.
Afterwards, Li Yan sat cross-legged again. A light flashed on his hand, and a white jade slip appeared in his hand. It was the one left by Zhao Min.
He immersed his spiritual consciousness into the jade slip again. This time he listened for a long time, half an incense stick of time had passed before he withdrew his spiritual consciousness.
He did not find anything different from before in the jade slip. He thought that after so much time had passed, he had more thoughts and understandings.
If I had reviewed it again, I might have made some new discoveries or ideas, but I came to nothing.
What exactly is "The Opening Chapter of Twin Zen Hearts"? This question kept magnifying in Li Yan's mind, and then became a buzzing sound like a fly, lingering in his mind.
Even with Li Yan's state of mind, he began to get anxious. He couldn't understand Zhao Min's meaning, so he couldn't act rashly. Maybe Zhao Min's words contained a certain warning. For example, there was always one or even several Nascent Soul stage demon generals stationed in the border garrison camp of the Black and White Demon Clan.
He estimated that as soon as he got close, he would be discovered by the other party, and the result that awaited him was unknown.
Don’t think that the other party saved herself in the early stage. That should be on the condition that Zhao Min becomes his disciple. It can only be done once and not twice. The temper of the Yuanying old monster is too unpredictable.
No one can know their true nature. They may be friendly to you one moment and murderous the next.
Three days passed in a flash. Li Yan in the cave had a tired look on his face and red lines in his eyes. He still couldn't decipher the meaning of Zhao Min's words.
Li Yan has spent the past three days reviewing his past experiences as an immortal cultivator, even those that had nothing to do with Zhao Min, as long as they were related to the Wangliang Sect, but he still has no clue.
"Senior sister wouldn't leave any obscure meaning, otherwise it would be meaningless. It's probably because my thoughts are becoming more and more biased."
Li Yan rubbed his forehead, thinking helplessly.
Then he placed the jade slip horizontally on his knees and began to breathe in and out quietly. His mind was no longer clear and he needed to calm himself down completely. Perhaps there would be a moment when inspiration would suddenly strike.
Li Yan decided that if there was no result in two days at most, he would have to leave here.
Go to Mingdu City and observe the shop called Baidao Tianbao Pavilion. Maybe you can get some information or even inspiration from it in secret.
Li Yan quickly entered into a state of meditation. About an incense stick later, Li Yan, who was sitting cross-legged, suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes filled with a hint of doubt.
Then, he quickly closed his eyes again, and the aura on his body disappeared in an instant. About half an hour later, Li Yan opened his eyes again.
He narrowed his eyes slightly, lowered his head and said nothing.
“When the spiritual energy is in operation, there will be a slight loss without you noticing.
Could it be that the injury this time was too severe, and there are invisible injuries somewhere in the body that have not healed
When the spiritual energy passes through that place, it is sucked away."
Li Yan kept thinking about the discovery he had just made in his mind.
Just before, when he was sitting cross-legged in meditation, when the spiritual power circulated throughout the body and returned to his dantian, some of the spiritual power disappeared for no reason.
Spiritual power is consumed as it runs through the tendons and meridians, but at the same time, cultivators breathe in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth in order to absorb it into the body to replenish their dantian.
Although a lot of energy will still be wasted in this process, every cultivator is familiar with his own skills.
How much spiritual energy of heaven and earth is inhaled through breathing and how much can be replenished into Dantian after one cycle is not exactly clear, but it is definitely almost the same.
Monks need to meditate and practice almost every day. After years or even decades of training, they have mastered their own skills by heart.
Where the spiritual power moves and what subtle feelings it produces are all accurate to the minute.
Li Yan felt the same way about the Guishui Sutra. He felt that he would definitely not make any mistakes.
Just after he started to circulate one cycle, he found that the spiritual power converted after this cycle was a bit too much, but he didn't care.
He thought it was because he had just recovered from a serious injury and his strength had just improved, so it was a misjudgment.
But then, after several cycles of movement, it was still the same, which made Li Yan wonder if there was still a hidden evil in his body that had not been healed.
If this is the case, then it would be troublesome, as it means that the injury is extremely hidden and has directly affected his internal organs.
He has been recuperating for nearly half a year, but he is still not cured.
"Such a hidden injury, it was fine that I had not discovered it before because I was seriously injured and had not recovered, but I must find it today!"
When Li Yan was in Shan Yiyuan Village, his injuries had not yet healed. At that time, he felt many discomforts in his body, so it was reasonable that he did not notice where this injury was.
Even in the past few months, the condition of his injuries has been changing every day and is gradually stabilizing.
The consumption of spiritual energy in the body is also slowly decreasing, so it is also possible that nothing has been discovered.
Soon, Li Yan closed his eyes again and began to practice the foundation-building chapter of the Guishui Sutra seriously again.
He wanted to do a thorough examination, and this time he did not directly call upon the spiritual power in his dantian.
Instead, just like the first time he refined the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, he only inhaled a stream of spiritual energy from heaven and earth into the center of his head.
Driven by the mind, the spiritual consciousness followed the spiritual energy step by step along the seven tendons and eight meridians, moving forward little by little, as if sneaking inch by inch.
The spiritual energy enters through the Baihui point on the top of the head, goes down along the Du meridian on the back, goes up through the perineum, turns into the Ren meridian and continues forward.
With these two main veins as the foundation, they then spread out to the four auxiliary veins, spreading out like branches and leaves of a big tree...
The speed at which spiritual energy flows is very slow, and it often takes more than ten breaths before it slowly passes through an acupoint.
Li Yan's spiritual consciousness carefully sensed the degree of loss of spiritual energy after passing through the acupoints, judging whether it was within a reasonable range.
Time passed little by little, and after nearly an hour, Li Yan, who was in meditation, suddenly frowned.
"God seals the acupoints!"
