Chapter 124: Black Snake Mysterious Water Art
Bai Xiuqi didn't have a storage ring on him, which surprised Qin Ziling. At the same time, he also realized that storage rings should be very precious and rare things in the Qi Refining World.
"This is..." Qin Ziling was disappointed that Bai Xiuqi didn't have a storage ring on him. Apart from the Green Dove Pearl magic weapon which was relatively valuable, he only carried about three hundred taels of silver notes with him. Suddenly, he saw a layer of something that looked very much like human skin falling off the back of his shriveled body.
This thing was stuck to his back, just like skin, and it wouldn't have fallen off if he hadn't been drained of blood.
"This world is truly amazing. I don't know what this thing is made of. Not only is it very flexible and hard to tear off, it also looks exactly like skin." Qin Ziling secretly exclaimed as he turned over the parchment.
"Black Snake Mysterious Water Art!" Qin Ziling's pupils couldn't help but shrink suddenly, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.
At the beginning of the year, the Taoist nun insisted that he had mixed roots of the five elements and was not suitable for the path of Qi training. But in the end, it only took him about three months to cultivate wood-type true Qi, which was stored in his Dantian.
A Qi Refiner at the True Power Realm is at the same level as a martial artist at the Strong Power Realm. Without taking any elixirs, he entered the True Power Realm in three months. Even if Qin Ziling didn't know much about the Qi Refining world, he could more or less guess that this speed was astonishing.
This shows that he has broken the limitations of the Qi Refining Realm by relying on his powerful spiritual power and the ability to do many things at once.
And the most important thing is that he has the five elements of mixed roots. Since he can cultivate wood-type true power, it stands to reason that as long as he has the other five elements skills, he can also cultivate the other five elements of true power.
However, the Qi-refining techniques are all secrets of various sects or Qi-refining families, and very few have been passed down to the general public. If one wants to practice, one must join a sect or be born into a Qi-refining family.
Unlike martial arts techniques, except for some unique or advanced techniques, many of them are widely circulated among the people, and as long as you have money, you can generally learn them.
For example, the Cold Iron Palm is actually a widely spread martial art. There are many martial arts schools in the Great Qi Kingdom that teach the Cold Iron Palm.
Of course, to be qualified to open a martial arts school, one must at least be a martial arts master, and generally each of them has some unique tricks or secret medicines.
Qin Ziling successfully cultivated a wisp of true Qi a few days ago and entered the realm of true strength. He actually had the idea of practicing other five elements techniques in his heart, but he had no way to obtain Qi-refining techniques with his current status.
Unexpectedly, just when I was about to fall asleep, Bai Xiuqi brought me a pillow.
"Bai Xiuqi is obviously practicing wood-based skills, so why is he also collecting water-based skills? But why should I care so much? It's a free gift to me anyway." Qin Ziling thought to himself and began to study the "Black Snake Mysterious Water Art" carefully.
"The 'Black Snake Mysterious Water Art''s Qi-eating, Qi-opening, and Qi-removing techniques are basically the same as the 'Evergreen Technique'. They both draw Qi from heaven and earth and circulate it through the eight extraordinary meridians, and the order of their paths of movement is basically the same.
But when it comes to the stage of obtaining the truth, it is completely different. The 'Green Wood Evergreen Technique' is to separate the wood spiritual energy, which is also mixed with a lot of other attribute spiritual energy, and circulate it in the foot Jueyin liver meridian and foot Shaoyang gallbladder meridian according to a certain rhythm and order, and then flow through the liver and gallbladder, over and over again, and finally purify and condense it into true qi, which is stored in the dantian.
The 'Black Snake Mysterious Water Art' is to circulate the initially separated water spirit energy in the three meridians of the Foot Shaoyin Kidney Meridian, the Foot Taiyang Bladder Meridian and the Foot Yangming Stomach Meridian according to a certain rhythm and order, and then flow through the kidneys and bladder, over and over again, and finally purify and condense it into water true energy, which is also stored in the Dantian.
No wonder the more spiritual roots the better. The way each kind of spiritual energy is purified, condensed and circulated is different, and even the meridians and organs it flows through are different. Unless one practices them separately in different time periods, if one practices them together, even with only two kinds of the five elements of spiritual energy, most people will go astray if they are not careful. If one more kind is added, it is basically impossible.
Therefore, a single spiritual root is the best. From the very beginning, relying on the affinity to a certain element of the Five Elements, the spiritual energy absorbed will be much more than the Five Elements of other attributes. Not only will it have an advantage in quantity, but it will also be much easier to distinguish and separate.
When the total amount of five-element spiritual energy absorbed by dual spiritual roots remains unchanged, the amount of spiritual energy of a single attribute is almost halved. If one can do two things at the same time and cultivate two attributes of Taoism at the same time, it is possible. However, if one cannot do two things at the same time and can only cultivate one of them, then the speed of cultivation will be much slower than that of a single spiritual root.
Three spiritual roots are even worse, and four and five spiritual roots are unable to even distinguish and separate them because the five elements of spiritual energy are too evenly mixed. Without strong divine power, it is impossible to distinguish and separate them, let alone practice.
No, logically speaking, even if I broke the limitation of the Qi Refining world that the five spiritual roots cannot be cultivated with my powerful spiritual power and the peculiarity of being able to do many things at once, if the total amount of five elements spiritual energy I absorbed was the same as that of other practitioners, because the amount of each attribute of the five elements spiritual energy is relatively evenly distributed, the amount of wood spiritual energy I absorb each time will definitely not be as much as that of a practitioner with a wood spiritual body.
Then how come I can cultivate so fast that I can break through to the realm of true strength in just three months? In addition to the fact that I am much better than others in the control of purification and condensation, it must be because I absorb the energy of heaven and earth much faster than others, which means that the total amount I absorb is very large. Even if it is evenly distributed, the total amount of five elements of spiritual energy of each attribute is still not small.
Haha, it seems that I am gifted in Qi Refining! Taoist nun, just wait and see. You dare to take my designated wife away by force and erase her memory. One day, I will climb Jiuxuan Mountain and let you taste the five elements magic! You will never imagine that I am a Qi Refining genius who has never been seen before or since. So what if I have mixed roots of the five elements? "
Qin Ziling felt very happy when he thought of this.
But soon, Qin Ziling calmed down.
After all, he was still in the stage of speculation. Whether his powerful divine consciousness and special ability of multitasking could control two, or even three, four, or five five-element exercises to practice at the same time, and how fast would it be? In the end, he would have to practice it to know.
"Better safe than sorry. I can't practice both techniques at the same time right away. I'd rather spend more time practicing 'Black Snake Mysterious Water Technique' separately first. After I have mastered 'Black Snake Mysterious Water Technique' thoroughly, I will then try to practice both techniques at the same time." Qin Ziling's eyes showed a calmness, and then he carefully read the "Black Snake Mysterious Water Technique" again, before putting it into the storage ring, sitting cross-legged, and began to practice "Black Snake Mysterious Water Technique".
The entry method of "Black Snake Mysterious Water Art" is similar to that of "Evergreen Wood Art", which saves Qin Ziling the trouble of starting over. He directly begins to separate the water spirit energy, and then circulates it in the three meridians of the Foot Shaoyin Kidney Meridian, the Foot Taiyang Bladder Meridian and the Foot Yangming Stomach Meridian according to a certain rhythm and order, and then flows through the kidneys and bladder, over and over again.
As the exercise was performed, the water spiritual energy in the three meridians gradually increased, and as it continued to circulate, it continued to be purified and condensed. Under the nourishment of the water spiritual energy, the kidneys and bladder also underwent some changes, becoming full of vitality, strong and firm.
Before we knew it, the sky was turning pale.
The sound of Liu Xiaoqiang practicing martial arts and the sounds of busy footsteps could be heard in the courtyard.
Qin Ziling slowly opened his eyes, a hint of surprise in his eyes.
"This 'Black Snake Mysterious Water Art' should be much more advanced than the 'Eternal Green Wood Art'. The method of luck is even more mysterious. If it weren't for my powerful mind and spirit, and my ability to control it in detail, it would probably take me a long time to master this method of luck.
Although this luck method is more difficult to control than the 'Eternal Green Wood Technique', it is much more effective in purifying and condensing spiritual energy. I estimate that in just two months, I may be able to condense true energy and become a water-based true energy master."
Qin Ziling thought to himself, stood up and opened the door.
"Young Master!"
"Master!"
Seeing Qin Ziling pushing the door open , Liu Xiaoqiang stopped practicing, clasped his fists and greeted him. At the same time, two women with simple temperaments also greeted him.
There were two women, one about thirty years old and the other about thirteen or fourteen years old, both of them were pretty.
These two women, one named Du Hongmei and the other named Dou Lingwei, are mother and daughter.
It is normal for women in this world to give birth to babies at the age of 17 or 18.
This mother and daughter were refugees who came to Fangqiao City. The man did not survive the cold winter and died outside the west city. Without the man, this team of mother and daughter became the target of some single hooligans among the refugees.
On the 28th day of the first lunar month, Qin Ziling was on his way home when he saw three ragged men trying to rape the mother and daughter. The body of Du Hongmei's man was still nearby. In a rage, he killed the three men out of nowhere.
When Du Hongmei and her daughter first saw Qin Ziling killing someone, they were very scared, but they soon realized that they had met a hero and a good man, and they knelt down and kowtowed to Qin Ziling to beg him to take them in.
Qin Ziling felt sorry for Du Hongmei and her daughter, and they looked very honest and simple. He remembered that Yin Ranyue had been forcibly taken away, and the family was in need of someone to do the housework and serve her mother, so he helped Du Hongmei bury her deceased husband and took them in as maids and servants.
"Well, good morning!" Qin Ziling smiled and nodded at the three of them. Just as he was about to pay his respects to his mother, the door of the study next door opened.
"Good morning, young master!" Shao E, who had already put on ugly makeup, walked out and bowed slightly.
When Liu Xiaoqiang first saw Shao E's curvaceous figure, his heart skipped a beat. When he looked at her face, his heart skipped a beat again. He quickly looked away and blurted out, "Sir, who is she?"
"Her name is Shao E. I'll take her to meet my mother first, and then I'll introduce her to you later." Qin Ziling smiled and nodded to Shao E, saying, "Come with me."
Ever since Cui learned the "Eternal Green Wood Technique" from Qin Ziling, she has become obsessed with refining qi to nourish the body. Besides, her family is not short of money now, so when she gets up in the morning, she no longer goes to the ear room to weave cloth, but instead practices breathing and refining qi in the room.
Hearing the knock on the door, Cui stopped and said, "Come in."
