It was the middle of winter, the weather was freezing cold, and a heavy snow had just fallen in Jianye City. The entire Bai Mansion was covered in white, and their figures quickly disappeared from Bai Xiaoyun's sight.
Bai Xiaoyun was stunned and could only chase after him, but his speed was much slower.
When he caught up with the two, he saw them standing at the edge of their lake, staring at the ice-covered surface.
Bai Xiaoyun walked forward and was about to ask a question when he suddenly caught a glimpse of the waves forming a spiral vortex under the ice of the lake, which was spinning slowly and leisurely.
"What is this?" Bai Xiaoyun asked in surprise.
"The spiritual energy in the lake here is disturbed to form a vortex. If I'm not mistaken, Shen Luo's secret room is just below this vortex. His Qigong breakthrough should have been successful." Bai Hecheng said with a smile on his face.
"Really? Brother Shen succeeded?" Bai Xiaoyun said happily.
"Right now he should be absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to try to condense his magic veins, but I don't know how many he can condense?" Bai Jiangfeng murmured.
"Looking at the commotion in the lake, there should be at least three magical veins. I just don't know which three of the twelve meridians they are?" Bai Hecheng said after thinking for a moment.
"I see that Shen Luo's practice method is of water attribute, which is more yin. The meridians he condenses will most likely be in the six meridians of the hand Taiyin lung meridian, hand Jueyin pericardium meridian, hand Shaoyin heart meridian, and foot Taiyin spleen meridian, foot Jueyin liver meridian, and foot Shaoyin kidney meridian." Bai Jiangfeng said thoughtfully.
At the same time, in a secret room deep at the bottom of the lake, a thin young man with sunken eye sockets was sitting cross-legged on the ground. His hair was disheveled and his clothes were tattered. He looked almost like a beggar.
But his eyes were as bright as lamps, flashing a dazzling light. It was Shen Luo.
Over the past few months, he has taken the Di Yin Pill three times in a row, trying to break through the bottleneck of the Qi Refining Stage, but the first two times ended in failure.
It was not until two months ago that Shen Luo took the third Di Yin Pill that he finally broke through the bottleneck with great difficulty, and transformed the magic power in his dantian from qi to liquid, and officially entered the fasting period.
The reason why he has not been able to come out of seclusion until now is because the step of condensing his Dharma lineage has not yet been truly completed.
Different from the time in the dream, the process of Shen Luo's condensing Dharma meridians became extremely difficult. The first thing he tried was the Shaoyin Kidney Meridian of the Five Elements, which governs water. He destroyed it and then condensed it again.
He had already prepared himself to endure the intense pain that would come from the self-destruction of his meridians, but the result was that no matter how hard he tried, the Foot Shaoyin Kidney Meridian remained like a steel bar chain, with no signs of breaking, and naturally he was unable to condense a Dharma meridian.
Next, Shen Luo tried the Hand Shaoyin Heart Meridian and the Hand Jueyin Pericardium Meridian in succession, but also ended in failure.
He was unwilling to admit defeat, and tried all the twelve meridians, but in the end not a single meridian was able to self-destruct as he wished, and he was not even given the chance to endure the pain of condensing his Dharma meridians.
But who would have thought that when Shen Luo tried to condense the Du Meridian among the Eight Extraordinary Meridians, an accident occurred.
An unprecedented pain completely overwhelmed him, his Du meridian broke apart inch by inch, and he successfully self-destructed.
