Chapter 11: Expanding the Meridian, Running at Night
The seventh day, night.
The clouds dispersed and the moonlight was like water.
A soft white light enveloped the sky above the city of Haojing, which was the moonlight reflected by the snow and ice on the hills, woods, roofs, and canals.
Lu Yi sat cross-legged on the cloud bed in the main room, breathing slowly and vaguely.
In his mind, wisps of lotus-seed-shaped spiritual light floated out, like a god writing with a brush, outlining in his mind, stroke by stroke, the supreme majesty of the three-eyed god stepping on an elephant and capturing a dragon.
An hour later, the picture of the three-eyed god appeared in his mind.
In the yard, the big yellow dog, the green snake, the alligator turtle, the caracal, and the parrot were breathing in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth at the same time, and their breathing frequency was completely consistent with Lu Yi.
The five-colored spiritual light merged into the void and finally flowed into the well in the courtyard.
Tonight, the spiritual energy in the yard is several times stronger than any other night.
In the bamboo forest in the east, new bamboo leaves are sprouting. In the cold winter, new bamboo shoots as big as a little finger are actually emerging from the ground.
In the puddle on the north side, the three-foot-thick ice melted, and the alligator snapping turtle floated on the clear water. A trace of inspiration merged into the clear water, and the clear pond actually became gradually viscous, with a faint illusion of scales swaying in the clear water.
In the shack to the west, three feet below the ground where the caracal was crawling, dozens of tiny silver-white metals slowly grew. These coral-like metal blocks released a trace of sharp energy and merged into the caracal's body, making the sphere full of coldness, like a sharp blade unsheathed.
In the birdcage on the south side, the big parrot's feathers stood up one by one.
Wisps of fire surrounded its body, and in its wide-open eyes, a faint shadow of huge wings could be seen flashing by, bringing up a raging golden-red flame.
The big yellow dog sat upright in the middle of the yard.
Wisps of yellow gas were floating around it, and above its head, the shadow of a three-foot-high hill could be seen floating. The entire yard felt incomparably heavy and depressing because of the existence of the shadow of the hill.
The well water swirled rapidly, and a ray of water light full of inspiration and vitality rose up and quickly poured into the courtyard, turning into a canopy invisible to the naked eye, covering the entire courtyard.
Lu Yi took a deep breath at that moment.
In his mind, the image of the three-eyed god flickered and swayed.
The golden-tusked jade elephant under the deity's feet raised its head slightly, and its two curved golden tusks swept left and right.
In the void, among billions of hazy and illusory stars, a point of clear light was lingering, corresponding to the point of starlight of the moon in the void, which suddenly lit up and transformed from a hazy and illusory state into a semi-solid form.
Very high up in the sky, a fluffy mist was lingering around the moon.
An extremely thin ray of clear light, invisible to the naked eye of mortals, rolled down like jade dew and poured directly into Lu Yi's forehead.
Lu Yi shouted softly, and the five fingers of his right hand trembled. Five extremely thin and clear lights flew out from his fingertips, penetrated through the gaps in the window, and injected into the bodies of the big yellow dogs in the yard.
Lu Yu's body shook violently.
The bodies of the big yellow dog, green snake, and others were shaking violently.
Lu Yi took a deep breath, and the water light in the yard was quickly absorbed into his body, merging with the nectar hanging from the moon.
His muscles and bones were trembling, his internal organs were shaking violently, and his bone marrow and brain were emitting a glass-like light. He had originally reached the ultimate Peiyuan realm of great perfection, but he suddenly jumped forward a big step.
Even if a warrior with extraordinary talent has reached perfection in Pei Yuan realm, a thousand pounds of strength is the ultimate limit.
Pei Yuan Realm, a thousand pounds of strength, this is the limit that a mortal in the red dust can reach.
At this moment, Lu Yi's realm has not yet been broken through, but his body, nourished by the moonlight, has exceeded the limit of 1,000 pounds and reached about 1,200 pounds.
Then, the water light in the yard was absorbed into his whole body, nourished by the five elements, and the meridians in Lu Yi's body vibrated.
The human body is a natural treasure, with twelve meridians winding around the body.
The twelve meridians are naturally connected.
Part of the effort in cultivating the twelve tiny and fragile meridians of a baby is to develop them into something thick and heavy, like a worm turning into a dragon.
When in Pei Yuan realm, the more powerful the twelve meridians are cultivated, the more massive, thick and pure the innate blood and flesh essence extracted from them will be after the twelve meridians are opened up, and the more powerful the 'Yuan Gang' nurtured by the exercises will be!
The nectar enters the body and the water fills it.
According to the clan martial arts of the Jingyang Lu family, Lu Yi erected a stone tablet called "Cang Hai Jin" in the courtyard of the ancestral temple in the Laiguo Mansion to slightly vibrate the twelve meridians, and then three dull roars like thunder were heard in succession.
In one breath, three roads were opened up.
In the three powerful dragon-like meridians, a huge amount of innate flesh and blood essence surged out like a tsunami, and in an instant it turned into a ball of dark blue and moist Yuan Gang, which rushed into the Dantian with a roar, and turned into a fist-sized cyclone that slowly rotated.
In just one breath, Lu Yi achieved the third level of Expanding Meridians.
The Yuan Gang rotated forty-nine times in the Dantian, and then turned into strands, traveling around the body, nourishing the body to make it stronger.
The best martial artist in the Peiyuan realm can have an ultimate strength of 1,000 kilograms.
The common martial arts in the world have opened up a serious path and increased eight hundred kilograms of strength in the body.
Therefore, the physical strength limit of an ordinary top-level warrior who has reached the twelfth level of Tuomai can reach 1600 kilograms!
When the moonlight elixir entered Lu Yi's body, his physical strength soared to 3,600 kilograms before his meridians were fully developed.
The main meridians were opened up, and water light filled the body. Each main meridian brought Lu Yi an additional 2,400 kilograms of bonus.
The Cang Hai Jin is a top-grade martial art, which is several times stronger than the skills practiced by ordinary people. Using the Cang Hai Jin to break open the twelve meridians, each meridian will be added an additional 3,600 kilograms of force.
When the strange phenomena in his body subsided and his soul and spiritual light were slowly withdrawn from the Three-Eyed Divine Man Diagram, Lu Yi's physical strength stabilized at 21,600 kilograms. In his mind, the soul and spiritual light became even stronger and more condensed.
A long stream of milky white air gushed out, filling the whole room with a strong wind, causing household objects to rustle slightly.
Lu Yu stood up slowly and chuckled.
He floated down from the cloud bed like a falling leaf, landing lightly and silently.
He raised his right hand and clenched his fist.
The Laiguogong lineage used the clan's secret attack technique "Shocking Waves Hand", and strands of dark blue energy in his body flowed into his palm. Lu Yi's entire right palm became faintly watery, as if it was carved out of a piece of sea-blue crystal, without any trace of flesh and blood.
In the room, on the square table, there was a cast iron oil lamp.
Lu Yi casually slapped the solid cast iron oil lamp with his right palm. With a "pop" sound, the cast iron oil lamp broke into dozens of pieces. However, Lu Yi's palm did not feel any pain or itchiness, and his skin did not even turn red.
With a force of several thousand pounds and the extremely powerful Jingtao Hand, if it were to hit a person, the lethality can be imagined!
"The first Duke of Lai is worthy of the wealth he built with military exploits."
Lu Yi sighed softly, "It's a pity that this is a top-notch martial arts technique even in Dayin. Except for the Tian'en Marquis Mansion, there are actually few people practicing it in the huge Laiguogong Mansion."
"Hey, if our ancestors knew, I wonder if the coffin lid can hold it down!"
"However, for me, martial arts is just a method of protection, not the real foundation..."
Lu Yi muttered to himself softly. He turned to the corner of the room, took out a white cloak from the secret compartment in the corner and put it on neatly. He then took out a white mask and put it on his face. He quietly opened the door and walked out.
The big yellow dog came out wagging its tail.
Compared to the daytime, it, which also received a share of the moonlight, is now slightly larger in size, its fur has become more shiny, its eyes are brighter, and there is a faint yellow light lingering.
Lu Yi patted the big yellow dog's head and pointed towards the gate.
The big yellow dog nodded, walked slowly to the gate of the yard, lay down behind the gate, closed his eyes and dozed off.
Lu Yi smiled and stamped his feet lightly. The spiritual light in his mind trembled slightly. A white light gushed out from the well in the yard and instantly turned into a light white mist that enveloped the entire yard.
Throughout the entire Yu Lu Hutong, wisps of white mist rose from the snow on the roofs.
Lu Yi's body, wrapped in a white cloak, became vague and hazy, like a ghost shadow, blending into the white mist.
A very light mist poured out from the street gate on the west side of Yulu Hutong, passed over the small market, Pier No. 1, and flowed into the canal west of Anlefang.
Mist also began to spread on the surface of the river.
In the dark night and under the moonlight, the mist was so faint that no one noticed it at all.
Lu Yu used the fog to conceal his figure and glided rapidly on the ice of the canal like a ghost.
He tapped the ice surface with his toes, and wisps of invisible wind wrapped around his whole body. His light body could travel a distance of more than ten feet on the ice with just one touch. This speed was several times faster than those rare war horses with the blood of exotic beasts.
In Peiyuan realm, if one runs non-stop for six hours, one can travel a thousand miles a day.
If one exerts full strength in Tuomai realm and runs non-stop for the same six hours, one can travel five thousand miles a day.
At this moment, with the help of the magical power visualized by the Three-Eyed God-Man Diagram, Lu Yi controlled the flowing wind, and his speed was more than twice as fast as that of the master of the twelfth level of Tuomai.
In one hour, Lu Yi can run about 1,500 miles.
He quickly passed Min'anfang and went straight to Yushunfang to the west of Min'anfang, and landed at Pier No. 3 of Yushunfang.
Along the way, there are bridges connecting the two sides of the canal between the towns.
In the middle of the night, a night watchman was patrolling the bridge with a lantern.
But no one could spot Lu Qi speeding across the ice on the river.
Lu Yi successfully stepped into Yushunfang, and a faint white mist spread over the streets of Yushunfang.
A patrol censor rode a horse and led a group of warriors through the foggy streets. The patrol censor with a cold face suddenly shuddered: "Damn it, why do I feel a little cold all of a sudden?"
Lu Yi passed by this group of people and horses, and the distance between them was only four or five feet at the closest.
These people were holding lanterns and torches, but they could not find Lu Yi. However, the warhorse under the patrol censor seemed to be aware of something, snorted a few times in anxiety, and trembled violently.
Lu Yi turned through the streets and alleys, and arrived at the northeast corner of Yushunfang as fast as the wind.
There is a mansion here with six courtyards in front and back, and double courtyards on the left and right, covering an area of more than 100 acres. On the gilded plaque hanging at the main entrance are the two large characters "Bai Mansion".
This is the house of the Bai family where Lu Yi was engaged since childhood.
Bai Changkong, his nine sons, more than twenty grandsons, one granddaughter, and a large group of daughters-in-law, granddaughters-in-law, etc., all live here on weekdays.
Yushunfang is one of the four first-class markets in Gaojing City, along with Fengdiao, Yushun, Guotai and Min'an. The people living in Yushunfang are also nobles in red gates and purple robes. Even a small two-courtyard house here is priced at a sky-high price.
Bai Changkong has always had a "clean reputation". Terms like "incorruptible" and "honest and upright" can all be attributed to him.
With Bai Changkong's salary, he couldn't afford to buy, let alone maintain, such a house.
But he is a 'great sage'.
How can a great sage be short of money?
It is said that a three-foot calligraphy work by Bai Changkong can be sold... No, scholars' affairs cannot be sold.
Bai Changkong can get hundreds of strings of cash in reward for just a three-foot-long calligraphy piece!
Plus, he publishes books all the year round.
Collections of poems, lyrics, and articles.
"Tsk, a rich man with clean hands."
Lu Yu sneered, went around to the back of the house, jumped up and entered the back garden.
