"My cultivation breakthrough is imminent, don't worry, it's fine." Lin Xin said in a low voice. He didn't really say that he was training for the breakthrough. The making of the sword made him also be watched by some people in the sect. Some things can be hidden if they can be hidden. Anyway, the Zongmen couldn't really help him improve his cultivation now. As for the classics he needed, he could get them from Senior Brother Huangshan, or from Kong Yuhui. There were plenty of ways.
"Well, just be careful." Xiao Lingling said softly.
After tidying up his clothes, he took the red flower sword.
Lin Xin left the bedroom, walked out of the inner courtyard, went directly to the alchemy room to get some auxiliary pills, and then went directly to the secret room.
Instructed the servants not to disturb, notified the retreat, and released the news.
Lin Xin walked into the secret practice room buried deep in the ground.
In the secret room, the surrounding walls are densely packed with all kinds of rune symbols, which are traces of Lin Xin's attempts to study various formation symbols.
"The way of formation, the sign of becoming a master is to integrate all the principles of formation, and to be able to create a brand-new formation by yourself. Unfortunately, I am still a long way from this realm." Lin Xin sat down cross-legged, organizing himself in his heart Case.
Take a look at the current state.
'Kill-14, Defense-13, Dodge-1, Constitution-1. Free attribute 0. '
'Xiaogui Yuanjue-the ninth floor. (Completion 99%) (Kill +9, Constitution +9), additional effects: sword energy, innate possession. '
"The last 10% progress, I killed at least thousands of people to bring it up..." He frowned. Feeling the five nuanced innate qi constantly lingering in my body.
"Perhaps it is more difficult to find the innate energy of the required attribute. Most of the killing essence is wasted. Only a small part can be absorbed by me."
He vaguely guessed the reason.
Congenital Qi needs to be combined into a small Guiyuan, which requires the combination of five different attributes. Perhaps the slow progress in the end is due to the need to collect different types of Xiantian Qi.
"Xiao Guiyuan is the symbol of Qi training. I have all the five qi, and what I have to do is to make the five qi go toward the yuan."
"The real difficulty is to collect the innate qi of all five attributes, but this difficulty is replaced by other methods. It should be a matter of course..."
According to the Xiaoguiyuan Jue, the last layer forms Guiyuan's Jue.
Lin Xin slowly used his consciousness to mobilize all five kinds of innate qi, and began to slowly rotate in the area between the lower abdomen and chest.
He put the red flower sword across his knees. The five kinds of internal energy were slowly poured into one end of the Red Flower Sword, and soon circulated back to the body from the other end.
One person, one sword gradually formed a perfect cycle. A large amount of impurities in the internal air are continuously removed.
Time passed slowly.
A little bit of colorful smoke slowly emerged from Lin Xin's body, and the smoke lingered around him slowly, covering his figure faintly in the mist.
He put his hands on both ends of the sword body. A trace of the five energies wrapped around his five fingers respectively.
Swish!
His hands suddenly formed two different handprints, and the five qi on his fingers were intertwined into two different shapes like lines, which flew out like flowers.
Immediately afterwards, his hands began to produce a second pair of different handprints.
Then came the third pair. fourth pair.
Gradually, Lin Xin's hand speed became faster and faster.
Dense colorful handprints floated out, slowly turning around him.
Dozens, hundreds, thousands! !
When all the handprints had completely covered his body from sight.
puff! !
All the handprints suddenly exploded and turned into countless colored smoke, and a large amount of colored smoke began to quickly gather towards Lin Xin in the center, like a huge smoke funnel.
The bottom of the loophole is Lin Xin's nose and mouth.
A large amount of colored smoke quickly penetrated into his mouth and nose.
When the last wisp of smoke enters the nostrils.
laugh!
He opened his eyes, and there was a faint red glow of more than half a foot in his eyes. It made a thin sound like a jet of air.
"It's a matter of course..."
He breathed a sigh of relief.
The qi refining period is finally over. From innate to qi training, the biggest difficulty is accumulating five different attributes of innate qi, but Lin Xin has overcome this difficulty by killing and plundering.
His consciousness went into the body, and he already had the ability to see inside.
It can be vaguely seen that there is a colorful elliptical vortex in his chest and abdomen, which is slowly rotating. Inside are the five qi that he has worked so hard to collect.
In the center of the vortex, there is a pitch black ball. The surface of the sphere faintly flows and flickers with a faint reddish light like an electric current.
"According to the law, the black ball is the spiritual core, and the shimmering light on the surface should be spiritual energy, but shouldn't it be white? Why..."
He carefully looked at the shimmer on the surface of the black ball. After repeated confirmation many times, it is indeed light red.
With a thought, that faint red light shot out instantly like an electric arc, which was much, many times faster than the previous internal energy mobilization speed.
It's almost like a thought.
"As expected of spiritual energy..." He poured that faint red spiritual energy into the palm of his right arm.
Suddenly, his right palm turned slightly reddish.
Gently point your right palm towards the ground and stab down.
The tip of the palm just touched the floor tile. It made a violent hissing sound like corrosion. In the blink of an eye, the ground was easily pierced by the palm, until it sank into the wrist.
"This... is not Guiyuan Spiritual Qi..." Lin Xin felt awe-inspiring, knowing that something was wrong with him.
It is impossible for the aura of the Pine Forest Sword Sect and the other four sects to have such a poisonous and corrosive nature. And they are all Zhongzheng and peaceful, but the lethality is good, but it won't look so abnormal.
"Normal aura should be white, it can increase my body's recovery speed, and it also has the sharpness of sword aura. It's not corrosive..." Lin Xin felt a little heavy in his heart. He had already guessed that it should be the way he broke through that caused the nature of the aura to change.
But he is only an inner family who entered with the blood pill method, and his aptitude is limited. If he doesn't do this, maybe he will never have the possibility of entering Qi training.
"When you enter Qi training, you will be able to find new formations. The formations driven by spiritual energy will be more powerful than the innate ones, and the range of choices will be greatly expanded. There is also a lot more room for me to play."
he thought.
"Also. My aura must not be known to outsiders, otherwise there will be endless troubles..." As an upright disciple, he possesses a strange and corrosive aura, which is unique to the Demon Dao. If he is really going to be discovered by the sect, no one will believe that he is a decent disciple.
Snapped.
Suddenly he heard a slight explosion behind him.
"who!"
Looking back suddenly, the secret room was silent, and the burning candles and wall lamps flickered slightly on the surrounding walls, without any suspicious traces at all.
Lin Xin glanced intently. After a while, he turned his head slowly.
"!!!"
He actually had a bloody face on the front.
Pale, the face of a woman whose head had been split in half.
The face was right in front of him, close at hand, with long hair dripping with blood.
laugh!
The sword light flashed, Lin Xin panted heavily, stood up, and stared at the front of him with the red flower sword in his hand.
The face just now was so close that it almost touched his cheek, and he could even clearly see the tiny maggots still crawling in his brain... .
"I..." It took him a long time to calm down. Looking at everything empty in front of him, he quickly took out a high-level resentment talisman and poured his inner energy into it, but there was no reaction at all.
"It's... it's a hallucination..."
He lowered his head, feeling a faint pain in his eyeballs.
After reading countless classics for so many years, he naturally understood a little bit. Combined with the knowledge and insight of the earth in the previous life, I already have the answer in my heart.
"Is the pressure too great?... The more people you kill, the more sinful you are... The sense of moral guilt, the sense of crisis that may be hunted down, the more you kill, the more you need Have a stronger spiritual will to support yourself, resist the pressure caused by guilt and crisis, and resist the pressure that needs to hide yourself but cannot express it to others."
He has seen many cases. There are many criminals whose psychological quality is not enough. They commit crimes and worry all day long. They accumulate more and more guilt in their hearts and the sense of crisis of being traced. When they become more and more tired, they finally surrender and collapse.
"So. If you don't want to be unable to relax because of the pressure, you will end up with mental problems. You must fight against this kind of pressure, and there are generally two ways to fight against the pressure."
Lin Xin slowly withdrew his sword.
"One, it is to find new strength to support oneself to resist and offset pressure. This kind of strength should come from inner support."
"Second, it is to find ways to weaken the pressure in a disguised form."
Lin Xin stood in the secret room, his eyes flickered and his expression was uncertain.
"I'm not the kind of person who has a strong enough inner will."
He stretched out his hand and looked at his pink palm.
"I'm just an ordinary person... an ordinary person who was supposed to live a stable and ordinary life."
Closing his eyes, he took a deep breath.
"I don't have lofty ideals, and I don't have firm determination..."
After a moment of silence, he walked towards the door of the secret room, opened it and walked out.
Then, the only thing left for him is one way.
night
Dark Manor.
Lin Xin stood quietly in front of the carriage. Just as he was about to get into the carriage, he glanced over and saw a pale white handprint left on the carriage.
The palm prints were slightly sunken into the carriage, very clear.
His pupils shrank, and he reached out to touch the palm print lightly.
crackle!
A gleam of white lightning flashed on the palm print, and a small talisman array flashed in the center.
There was a tingling pain in his palm, and he quickly retracted it.
The moment he saw the talisman array, his complexion changed, and his eyes became extremely sharp.
"Tracking Rune Array!"
He felt chills in his heart, thinking of the vortex that appeared out of thin air that he encountered at the gate of the cave last time.
If you didn't pay attention to this palm print just now and thought it was just an ordinary trace, then if it reappears this time, it is very likely that what is waiting for you is the owner of the whirlpool.
"It's really amazing. I don't know if it's the foundation or the golden core. This kind of method is to embed the talisman array into the move, and hit it with one palm, and it can be a talisman array with one palm... This kind of method is really unheard of."
"I can't go anymore for the time being, let's deal with the things around me first."
He retracted his original plan to go hunting again.
"Look for Senior Brother Huangshan first, I don't know if he has returned from the mission, but first we need to ask him to help buy the Zongmen Formation for Qi Practitioners."
After practicing qi, first use the method of formation to enhance your own strength. (.)
