Chapter 152: Five Elements Complete, Martial Saint Becomes
When I woke up, it was already past midnight.
In Ni Kun's hand, there was a reincarnation watch, three broken green bamboo swords, and several cinnabar yellow talismans that he could not understand.
After putting away the watch, broken sword and talisman paper, Ni Kun did not bother to clean up the skin fragments that fell off during shedding. He sat cross-legged and looked inward.
You can see that within the five internal organs of the heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys, each has a point of spiritual light, which responds to each other and circulates.
Among them, the heart is red light, which belongs to fire; the liver is green light, which belongs to wood; the spleen is yellow light, which belongs to earth; the lungs are white light, which belongs to gold; and the kidneys are black light, which belongs to water.
At this point, the five spiritual bloodlines of gold, wood, water, fire and earth have been gathered.
However, at this stage, the five spiritual bloodlines can only coexist with each other and run in parallel. At most, the five elements can be mutually beneficial and have not yet been fully integrated.
Gold is gold, wood is wood, and they are not completely integrated.
When performing the changes of the Wood Element, you cannot activate the Fire Element and the Metal Element bloodlines, otherwise you will hurt your body.
When the Fire Spirit Bloodline is activated, the Water and Metal Bloodlines will become dormant and unable to participate in the Fire Spirit Bloodline's auxiliary attack.
Although Ni Kun can switch states instantly with just a thought, this change in just a short moment may be difficult to capture in the eyes of ordinary people, but in the eyes of a truly strong person, it may be a flaw.
The most ideal state should be that no matter what the state is, the power of the five elements can be operated freely.
There can be wood, water, and gold in fire, and fire, gold, and earth can also be produced in water.
Therefore, for Ni Kun, his "Way of the Five Elements" can only be regarded as having just laid the foundation and just started on the road.
Bloodline cannot be called "five elements bloodline", it can only be called "five kinds of spiritual bloodline".
Next, he would study how to completely blend the five spiritual bloodlines into one, making them indistinguishable from each other and becoming the true "Five Elements Bloodline".
At this point, all his external plug-ins were of no help and he could only rely on his own understanding.
Fortunately, he also has a book called "The Secret of Immortality" which covers the five elements and yin and yang, which can provide some reference and guidance, so we can't just grope in the dark or make guesses out of thin air.
The fusion of the five elements and the sublimation of the five spiritual bloodlines into a unified "five elements bloodline" is by no means an overnight achievement.
It is hard to say, but one has to go through a long period of practice before one can gain anything.
Ni Kun was not in a hurry for the moment and first explored the ability of the earth spirit bloodline.
He sat cross-legged on the brocade cushion, and as soon as he thought about it, his whole body slowly floated up, and actually remained three feet off the ground, suspended in the air.
Although it is only suspended three feet in the air, this state of suspension that can be sustained for a long time is enough to make it possible to be called a land immortal.
This is a special ability that comes with the Earth Spirit bloodline. It can, to a certain extent, resist the gravity of the earth and make itself suspended in the air three feet off the ground.
Because of the limited suspension height, its practicality is quite average, but it is of extremely high quality.
Just with this ability, the Earth Spirit bloodline has already made Ni Kun quite satisfied.
Of course, the abilities of the Earth Spirit bloodline are more than that.
He can also slightly change the terrain within three feet around him, control a certain volume of earth and rock and launch it like a projectile, make rock as soft as soil, or make soil as hard as rock.
In short, the Earth Spirit bloodline's inherent abilities have very average attack power and are more auxiliary.
However, superpowers are just a byproduct, the key point is the meaning of having all five elements, so no matter how ordinary the ability is, Ni Kun will not mind.
What's more, this ability can be continuously upgraded as his bloodline grows.
One day, he might be able to soar into the sky and fly out of the atmosphere just by thinking about it.
Or with just a thought, he could turn an entire mountain of stones into soil, or turn an area of soil as big as a city into stone.
Even a simple stomp of the foot can shake the earth's plates and trigger a world-destroying natural disaster.
Anyway, the prospects are very bright.
After testing the ability of the earth spirit bloodline, Ni Kun pondered for a while, then took out a small bottle of Tianzhu honey liquid, drank it in one gulp, then sat in mid-air and practiced the Shan Guiliu hard qigong.
With every breath, the muscles and skin all over the body began to vibrate and hum, and sounds like thunder and steel colliding could be heard inside the body.
I don’t know how much time passed.
Ni Kun's whole body trembled, all sounds disappeared, his body motionless, and fell into an eerie silence.
Soon, a faint light began to bloom from his body.
This light does not bloom from the body's surface, but seems to bloom from the bones inside the body, illuminating the body from the inside out.
Then there was a roaring sound like the rushing waves of the Yangtze River, coming from his body, as if his blood vessels had turned into rivers of various sizes, with a huge tide surging inside.
The refined marrow is like frost and the blood is like mercury slurry.
The body refining realm that had been suppressed by Ni Kun himself for a long time, but was only missing the finishing touch, finally advanced at this moment and reached the realm of "initial martial saint".
The full name of the Martial Saint is “Blood Transfusion Martial Saint”.
When one becomes a Martial Saint at the initial stage, the whole body will be cleansed and reborn with the flushing of new blood.
The whole body exudes an extremely fresh breath, as pure and innocent as a newborn baby.
When everything was over, the glow from his body faded, the sound of his blood rushing disappeared, and Ni Kun opened his eyes, only to find that everything in his field of vision was brand new.
With just a glance, you can see many tiny details that you have never noticed before.
The sense of smell, hearing, taste and touch are also greatly improved.
With the larger and higher-quality energy supply provided by the "new blood", the brain becomes exceptionally clear, and the ability to process information increases exponentially. The senses do not become too sharp, causing the brain to be unable to process the large amount of information that pours in all at once, resulting in dizziness or even splitting headaches.
And many memories that had been forgotten because they were too long ago are gradually becoming clearer.
Reaction ability will naturally increase exponentially as the five senses improve and the brain's ability to process information increases dramatically.
The brain is a big energy consumer. In this state, even if you sit still, it will consume a lot of energy.
Therefore, all the martial saints who practice the immortal martial arts are super gluttons, unless they have extremely high-quality spiritual rice, spiritual meat, and spiritual pills to eat.
But Ni Kun doesn't need to eat so much.
First of all, he has Tianzhu honey liquid. A little bit of Tianzhu honey liquid can provide a lot of energy.
There is no need to panic after eating all the Yuanpin Dzi beads. He is now very wealthy and can exchange them for new Yuanpin Dzi beads at any time.
Secondly, he can also use his spiritual blood to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to partially meet his body's consumption.
In short, even without spiritual rice, spiritual meat, and spiritual elixir, he would not become a glutton.
After feeling a slight change in his body, Ni Kun raised his right hand, clenched his fist, and a loud noise came from between his five fingers.
The air that leaked out from between his fingers hit the floor in front of him, making a dull thumping sound.
He used his bones, muscles and strength to throw a punch in the air.
The fist broke through the air, with a loud bang like thunder, and in front of the fist, even a milky white air wave visible to the naked eye was squeezed out.
The milky white air wave hit the opposite wall like an air cannonball, making a crisp sound and causing many tiny cracks in the wooden wall.
"This punch is as powerful as the punch that Senior Brother threw with all his strength after transforming into a little giant!"
Ni Kun nodded with satisfaction.
In fact, there is a big gap in combat effectiveness between him, a beginner Martial Saint who was created in less than a year by relying mostly on natural treasures and human-shaped tonic pills, and a beginner Martial Saint who was truly honed through hard training and actual combat.
But Ni Kun is not the kind of person who likes to fight bravely.
He practiced the human-immortal martial arts only to strengthen his body, prolong his life, and improve the quality of his life.
To defend yourself and kill the enemy, you have flying swords, knife skills, and various other skills.
Of course, he is also different from Xu Fu.
Xu Fu was a Taoist priest and a part-time warrior, so he was not good at fighting. After being beaten by Wu Wudi and his immortal body was degraded and aged, he became a coward to the core.
When Ni Kun first traveled through time, he also thought about giving in, but what he got in return was that Liu Sheng Piaoxu killed him instantly without saying a word.
As he was defeated in seconds more and more times, Ni Kun's mentality gradually changed.
First, I can be reborn. Second, it’s no use for me to give in, you still have to kill me.
In this case, rather than admitting defeat and losing face, it is better to remain calm and composed when facing death, and even pretend to be confident and fearless.
This way you can die with more dignity and style...
After testing the strength of his punches and kicks for a while, Ni Kun took another look at his lifespan and felt even happier.
The life span seemed to have increased by more than 8,000 days, extending life by more than 20 years.
Originally, he only had a little over forty-eight years left to live, but now that he has cultivated the physique of an initial stage martial saint, his remaining life span has increased to about seventy-one years.
Although the increased lifespan was slightly less than he had imagined, he was still very excited.
Because this means that he can indeed prolong his life through spiritual practice.
In the future, your cultivation will continue to improve and your lifespan will continue to increase.
Even without any rare materials or treasures, as long as you practice diligently, you can still achieve immortality.
When he achieved the initial stage of Martial Saint, his whole body's blood was replaced, his hair was removed and his marrow was cleansed, and he was reborn. Ni Kun's five spiritual bloodlines also rose accordingly.
The five spiritual lights of the heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys become more lively and vigorous.
The five elements' supernatural powers also became much stronger.
The changes of the metal element are no longer limited to the epidermis; even the surface muscles and some bones can be metallized.
If the previous changes in the metal element could only be regarded as wearing a full-body plate armor with no blind spots, then now it is wearing a bulletproof steel plate with a much thicker thickness and no blind spots.
Even the armor-piercing bullets fired by ordinary sniper rifles may not be able to penetrate.
The wood spirit bloodline's control over plants also greatly increases.
Ni Kun pressed the floor casually, and under the stimulation of the wood spirit blood, the polished floor began to grow roots, branches and leaves. The whole quiet room soon became green, like a small forest.
Ni Kun had another thought and withdrew the wood element spiritual power, and the floor quickly returned to normal.
After transforming into a wooden man, the wooden body becomes tougher and denser, not only greatly increasing the defense but also greatly improving the recovery ability.
The abilities of the water spirit, fire spirit, and earth spirit bloodlines have also been improved.
In short, the gains from today's battle with Xu Fu almost doubled Ni Kun's overall strength.
Next time I meet Xu Fu, I probably won’t even have to waste my life to fight him on equal terms.
After thoroughly examining his various enhanced supernatural powers, Ni Kun stood up with satisfaction, stretched himself, and calculated the time. It was the end of midnight and the night was still long, so he decided to take a bath first and then go to the demon girl Wan to study musical instruments and poetry to celebrate.
He had just pushed open the door and walked out of the quiet room, into the courtyard and was heading towards the bathroom when he suddenly felt something in his heart and looked up at the night sky.
In the night sky, a paper crane fluttered in, circled leisurely above his head, and nodded at him from time to time.
Ni Kun had a strange look on his face. He spread out his palms, and the paper crane immediately fell into his palms, automatically untied, and turned into a piece of letter paper covered with delicate regular script.
Ni Kun smiled silently, glanced through it quickly, his expression changed several times, and finally settled into solemnity.
Ni Kun was in Yangzhi, north of Taiyuan, thousands of miles away from Shuzhong, but he was naturally happy to receive a letter from Shi Qingxuan from Shuzhong.
First, he was happy that Shi Qingxuan still remembered him after such a long separation, and second, he was happy for her great progress in cultivation.
But when he saw the three words "Ciyu Temple", Ni Kun's heavy worry immediately overwhelmed his joy.
When he was in junior high school, he read the novel "Swordsman of Shu Mountain".
Because it was a long time ago and he only skimmed through it, coupled with the complex characters and forces in Shushan, and the narrative technique of describing the experiences of each important or unimportant new character from the beginning, gave him a headache, so much so that after not reading it for many years, he had forgotten many plots and characters.
I only remember characters such as the Green Robe Patriarch, Wutai Patriarch, Long Eyebrow Immortal, Li Yingqiong, Zhou Qingyun, Qi Jinchan, etc., who were either extravagant, important, unique, or annoying.
But that was before.
After becoming a beginner martial saint, many forgotten memories are gradually becoming clearer.
His memory of "Ciyu Temple" gradually became clearer, and he even remembered the origins of Mao Tai and Fa Yuan.
In this case, he naturally remembered the important scene of "Ciyu Temple" more clearly at this time, which he already had a certain impression of.
Ciyu Temple is the first important scene that appears in The Legend of Swordsman of Shu Mountain. In the early stage, a large number of characters from both the good and evil sides are introduced around Ciyu Temple.
The Green Robe Patriarch first appeared in Ciyu Temple.
Although the Green Robe Patriarch's Taoist temple was not in Ciyu Temple, and he only went to Ciyu Temple to participate in the battle, Ni Kun could not guess whether the Green Robe Patriarch happened to be in the temple when Ciyu Temple was transported to the outside of Chengdu.
"He shouldn't be here, right? Otherwise, Chengdu would have become a living hell by now. It's impossible for Shi Qingxuan to escape unscathed after spying on Ciyu Temple..."
Ni Kun looked a little solemn. He was glad for Shi Qingxuan's wisdom, but he was also a little worried.
The Ciyu Temple is a den of lewd monks who love to kidnap decent women.
And Shi Qingxuan has already taken a liking to Ciyu Temple. If she finds a decent girl missing in Ciyu Temple...
Could she still resist trying it out?
Even if the Green Robe Patriarch is not here, the monks in the evil Taoist temple of Ciyu Temple are not simple characters!
As for other things like the Emei Sect, mountain ghost rumors, and mysterious caves, compared with the Ciyu Temple, they are not worth mentioning.
After pondering for a while, Ni Kun decided to change his itinerary.
His originally planned route was to go through Taiyuan to Chang'an, visit the Terracotta Warriors of Qin Emperor, then tour Mount Zhongnan to see if he could find the Ancient Tomb School, and then return to Shu from Hanzhong.
But now, how could he have time to go to Chang'an for sightseeing?
He didn't even go to take a bath, but went straight to Zhu Yuyan's bedroom, patted her buttocks to wake her up, and ordered:
"I have something urgent to do and need to go back to Shuzhong. You guys go to Chang'an first and wait for me there."
After saying that, he left behind a few bottles of Tianzhu honey liquid for Zhu Yuyan and others to practice, and also left behind the secret books of Emperor Tian Divine Thunder, Snow Blood Claw, and Wanren Chuanyun .
After Zhu Yuyan agreed, Ni Kun went to Tsunade's bedroom and woke her up.
"Tsunade, I have something urgent to do and I need to go back to Shu first. When I leave, you will follow Yuyan and the others. They will take good care of you."
Tsunade felt very reluctant.
But she managed to hold out in the wasteland life alone for several years. What's more, Ni Kun was only away for a short time, and she was accompanied by beautiful women like Zhu Yuyan and Kankan who were gentle, considerate and sweet-talking.
At that moment, Tsunade hugged Ni Kun tightly and smiled heartily:
"I will wait for you to come back and won't cause any trouble to Zhu Jun and the others!"
Ni Kun smiled and kissed the diamond-shaped mark on her forehead, saying:
"Okay, I'll come back as soon as I'm done with my business, and then I'll take you to visit Chang'an and Zhongnan Mountain."
After hugging her quietly and feeling her body temperature and fullness, Ni Kun turned around and left, went to the yard, summoned the nightmare horse, turned over and jumped onto the horse's back, and directly urged the horse to soar into the air, galloping towards the direction of Shuzhong.
The straight-line distance between Chengdu in Shu and Yangzhi in Jin is more than two thousand miles.
If it were someone else, even if they received Shi Qingxuan's letter, it would be impossible for them to rush from Yangzhi to Chengdu in a short period of time.
But Ni Kun has a nightmare horse that can climb mountains and cross rivers as if walking on flat ground, run on water, and even float in the air for a short time. It is not limited by the terrain and can take a straight line to Chengdu.
It's only more than 2,000 miles. With the Nightmare Horse's maximum speed of 120 kilometers per hour, we will be able to get back to Chengdu before sunset tomorrow.
