Chapter 16: Heavenly Spiritual Vein
A few days later, at a stream in Baiyun Mountains.
Two figures were standing beside a huge rock by the stream. A young white tiger was jumping and tumbling among the flowers not far away, chasing butterflies and bees.
Li Yu had promised Jiang Li that he would teach her fighting skills, so he took her with him when he went out to practice today.
For immortal cultivators, the most important thing is of course the cultivation of magic power, but close combat is not completely useless. In the battles of low-level immortal cultivators, the importance of physical skills is even greater than that of magic.
With the blessing of magic power, a person's speed and strength will increase significantly. Any cultivator in the Qi Refining period is no weaker than a martial arts master in the secular world.
However, without any professional training, most of them only have brute force and are unable to exert their full strength. If a secular master gets close to them, they may not even have the chance to cast spells.
Li Yu first taught Jiang Li a few boxing, elbowing and grappling moves. Seeing that she had practiced well, he asked her to do some preliminary practical exercises.
He rolled up his sleeves and said to Jiang Li, "Next, I will attack you from the front. Try to fight back with all your strength using the moves I just taught you."
Jiang Li nodded, eager to try, "Come on."
Without any warning, Li Yu threw a straight punch at Jiang Li's face.
He threw a straight left punch, and Jiang Li blocked it with her right forearm as Li Yu had taught her, exerting force from the outside to the inside. Li Yu only felt a huge force coming at him, and his body staggered and lost his balance. Jiang Li took advantage of the situation and threw a circling elbow at the back of his neck, and Li Yu fell to the ground .
Jiang Li showed an excited expression on her face, she also had some fighting experience, although she only knew the simple turtle punch, she still had some vision. When she fought with Li Yu before, they just hit randomly, but the moves Li Yu taught her today were not only clean and neat, but also practical.
She looked at Li Yu lying on the ground and said, "Hurry up and get up. I know you let me. If you want to act, act more realistically..."
Li Yu lay on the grass with his head buzzing.
Jiang Li's elbow almost sent him away.
Li Yu really didn't expect that she was so strong. Even though he had mobilized the magical power of two acupoints for defense, he was still knocked to the ground unexpectedly.
The back of the neck is a relatively vulnerable part of the body and if it is hit hard, it may be fatal.
Fortunately, the little white tiger gave him three spiritual herbs, which greatly improved his cultivation. Otherwise, that attack just now would have taken his life, and he would have had to become a ghost cultivator in the future.
Li Yu covered the back of his neck and struggled to get up from the ground. He asked Jiang Li in disbelief, "How many acupuncture points did you open?"
The power of a cultivator is related to his cultivation level. The enormous force that Jiang Li had just unleashed was not just the result of opening up an acupoint, and it was not even the power that a cultivator at the first level of Qi Refining should have.
Jiang Li looked at Li Yu and said innocently, "An acupuncture point..."
Li Yu didn't believe it at all and said flatly: "Bullshit, are you secretly practicing behind my back?"
Jiang Li said helplessly: "Really, I didn't lie to you, I haven't opened the second acupuncture point yet."
During the Qi Refining period, every time an acupoint is opened, there will be a clear feeling. Jiang Li couldn't lie to him. She was not the kind of person who would practice secretly. Every day, she thought about going down the mountain with Li Yu to play and eat...
Looking at her innocent little face, Li Yu was also a little confused.
Li Yu thought for a moment and said to her, "Use all your magic power to cast a fireball for me to see..."
Jiang Li mobilized his magic power and cast a fireball spell, which hit the open space not far away.
boom!
A fireball the size of a washbasin appeared in the void and slammed heavily onto the ground, creating a huge pit on the ground. The area within a few feet was covered with charred marks.
The shocking noise startled the little white tiger playing not far away.
Li Yu was even more stunned.
He mainly cultivates the Fire Spiritual Vein, while Jiang Li cultivates the Water Spiritual Vein. However, with his current strength, the fireball he releases is not even half as powerful as Jiang Li's. This means that Jiang Li's mana is at least four times his, and he has at least reached the second level of Qi Refining...
Li Yu stared at her intently and asked, "Have you already gathered your energy?"
He suspected that Jiang Li had already gathered his Qi a long time ago, but had been hiding it from him just to consider his feelings. Based on his understanding of Jiang Li, this boy... this tomboy was capable of doing such a thing.
Jiang Li's expression became even more innocent, and he said, "How is that possible? I gathered Qi later than you did, and you were the one who gave me the Qi Gathering Pill. Did you forget?"
Li Yu pursed her lips and felt her throat was a little dry.
Of course, he did not forget about the Qi Gathering Pill.
If Jiang Li gathered Qi on the same day as him, that means that in the past less than a month, she had cultivated from the beginning of the Qi Refining Stage to the second level of Qi Refining, while Li Yu had only opened one acupuncture point, and that was by taking medicine...
What kind of talent is this?
Li Yu couldn't even imagine it.
…
Baiyun Temple.
Elder Sun was half lying in a rocking chair, lazily basking in the sun.
At a certain moment, his eyebrows suddenly raised.
He sensed a disciple at the second level of Qi Refining walking into the courtyard.
The disciples of Baiyun Temple are all at the first level of Qi Refining, and have only opened up one acupoint. Those who can open up two acupoints are already considered excellent. Li Yu had another opportunity and opened up three spiritual veins, but he is still far from the second level of Qi Refining.
Only the sect's formal disciples have the ability to cultivate to the second level of Qi Refining.
But what are the sect’s formal disciples doing in Baiyun Temple?
Elder Sun slowly opened his eyes and saw two figures walking towards him, one was Li Yu, the other was...
When he saw that figure, Elder Sun's body shook, his eyes were filled with shock, and he jumped up from the chair and instantly appeared beside Jiang Li. He stretched out his skinny hand and grabbed Jiang Li's wrist.
But the next moment, he showed an ecstatic look on his face, and he kept saying: "Heavenly Spiritual Vein, Heavenly Spiritual Vein, I didn't expect that my Baiyun Temple would also have a Heavenly Spiritual Vein. Haha, there is hope for my Golden Elixir, there is hope for my Golden Elixir..."
Jiang Li still looked confused, but Li Yu confirmed his guess.
During this period of time, he made up for the common sense of the immortal cultivation world and had heard of the name of the Heavenly Spiritual Vein a long time ago.
In fact, everyone in this world has five spiritual veins, but most of them have too low talents, their bodies cannot accommodate the spiritual energy, and they have no way of embarking on the path of cultivating immortals. Those with slightly better talents, whose bodies can accommodate the spiritual energy, can also embark on the path of immortality.
It was when the evil woman was saving Li Yu that she discovered that he had a talent for cultivation, and that’s why she sent him here.
For the vast majority of immortal cultivators, the seventy-two acupoints of each spiritual vein are like seventy-two checkpoints that need to be broken through one by one in order to open up the entire spiritual vein. However, there are always unexpected things in this world.
This accident is the Tianling Vein.
Those who possess natural spiritual veins are undoubtedly the darlings of the immortal way. One or several spiritual veins in their bodies have no inherent barriers. As long as the first acupoint is opened, it is equivalent to opening the entire spiritual vein.
The strength of a cultivator depends on the mana in his body. If mana is compared to water, the spiritual vein is the container for storing water. In the early stages of cultivation, the process is to open up the spiritual veins and widen them so that they can accommodate more mana.
Ordinary people need to open up their spiritual veins one by one, but those who possess heavenly spiritual veins, from the moment they successfully gather Qi, are already at the peak of Qi training, and the accumulation of magic power is a natural result.
The benefits of the Heavenly Spiritual Vein are not limited to the Qi Refining Stage.
Because the foundation-building stage is also about cultivating spiritual veins, those with heavenly spiritual veins not only have no bottlenecks in the Qi refining stage, but also in the foundation-building stage. They can cultivate to the peak of foundation-building in just a few years without relying on elixirs, and are the well-deserved darlings of the immortal way.
It took Elder Sun more than two hundred years to reach this realm.
Li Yu finally understood Jiang Li's mood when he was gathering his energy.
This is a complex mentality of being afraid that one's brother will have a hard life, but also afraid that one will drive a Land Rover.
In the past, everyone’s talents were not very good, and she couldn’t gather Qi. At most, Li Yu could cheat the resources of the evil witch to support her. But now, Jiang Li has transformed herself into a darling of heaven, and her path to immortality is limitless.
As for himself, it is still unclear whether he can enter Kunlun Sect.
Elder Sun was still laughing towards the sky, as if the one who possessed the Heavenly Spiritual Vein was not Jiang Li, but himself.
Li Yu could understand his excitement. There were not too many geniuses like Jiang Li even in Kunlun Sect. Each of them was the hope for the future of the sect. As the manager of Baiyun Temple, it was a great achievement for Elder Sun to discover such a genius for the sect.
Sure enough, after laughing enough, Elder Sun quickly took out a palm-sized silver shuttle from his arms. After the silver shuttle was thrown out by him, it swelled in the wind, and in a few breaths it grew to a length of about ten feet and turned into a flying boat.
Elder Sun took Jiang Li, who still didn't know what happened, onto the flying boat and said to Li Yu, "I want to take this little girl back to the sect. You will take care of the affairs of the temple for me in the next few days..."
After Jiang Li reacted, he looked anxious and wanted to say something to Li Yu, but the flying boat had turned into a silver light and disappeared into the sky in an instant.
Li Yu stood there, looking at the direction where the flying boat disappeared, lost in thought for a long time.
But in just a quarter of an hour, the two people's life experiences were very different. Li Yu stood there for a long time, and finally smiled and shook his head, saying: "You kid..."
At the entrance of the courtyard, several disciples of Baiyun Temple were standing there.
"Girl... Jiang Li is actually a girl?"
"Hey, I actually liked him, why is he a girl?"
"But you are not..."
"What's wrong with that? Men can't like men?"
"What is a Heavenly Spiritual Vein? Is there a sixth kind of spiritual vein? Why have I never heard of it?"
…
Some were surprised, some sighed, some were puzzled, and some were full of envy, muttering: "I never thought that the Heavenly Spiritual Vein actually exists. I heard that people with Heavenly Spiritual Veins can at least cultivate to the Nascent Soul Stage..."
To the disciples of Baiyun Temple, Elder Sun, who was at the Foundation Establishment stage, was the strongest being they could come into contact with. The Golden Core stage only existed in their imaginations, and as for the Nascent Soul stage, you have to know that the headmaster of Kunlun Sect was only at the Nascent Soul stage...
Being able to become a fellow disciple with such an existence for a short period of time is something they can brag about for the rest of their lives.
