Volume 1 Linglong Case Chapter 44: Halfway to Success
Lin Qianxing raised his eyebrows. He didn't expect that the other party was interested in the sword technique he created.
His sword technique was actually evolved from the Tianshan Palm Technique of the Tianshan School. It was said to be able to break all the moves in the world, but in fact it was just a gimmick.
The only one who can truly break all the moves is a human.
However, Lin Qianxing did not mean to refuse. He said, "Since you want to learn the Dugu Nine Swords, I will teach it to you!"
The name "Nine Swords of Dugu" is, on the one hand, to commemorate his old friend Dugu Jinlin. After all, the "Tianshan Palm Technique" was learned from her. On the other hand, it can be regarded as a recollection of Lin Qianxing's past life.
Nalan Xian was very happy after learning "Nine Swords of Dugu".
Lin Qianxing, who was inspired by Nalan Xian's method of condensing true Qi, was even happier.
After his internal energy reached the peak of the innate realm, he has made almost no further progress.
Over the years, he had only gained some physical strength through practicing external skills, but it was ultimately limited and he was not satisfied.
After getting new inspiration from Nalan Xian, Lin Qianxing felt that he already had a clear idea.
The cultivation of internal energy for true qi, from acquired to innate, is nothing more than a process of compressing the energy in the body.
That is, from gas to liquid .
Thanks to the many novels he had read in his previous life, Lin Qianxing had previously thought about whether it was possible to further compress it to make it more condensed and thus as viscous as a solid.
But at that time he rejected this path after just a brief attempt.
Why?
It's too difficult.
Solidifying true essence requires too much from the Dantian and the tendons and veins.
Also, there is a lack of external force to solidify the true essence.
To condense the true qi into true essence, one uses the power of the external world connected by the acupoints. However, if one wants to condense the true essence into a higher level of energy, the power of the external world connected by the acupoints is not enough.
Lin Qianxing's previous idea was to compress it through mental force.
But the amount of spirit required was too exaggerated. The highest level of spirit that Lin Qianxing had stacked in his previous game was over 500, but he still could not successfully compress the true energy in his body.
Moreover, in the process of trying to compress the true energy, the dantian and tendons in the body will also be under great pressure.
For example, it is easy to fill a balloon with gas. If it is filled with liquid, it is not a big problem. But if you try to fill it with stones, the balloon will not be able to bear the weight.
In other words, Lin Qianxing failed to succeed at that time. If he had succeeded, the worst consequence for him would have been death from the explosion of his dantian.
In Lin Qianxing's imagination, this should have been a dead end. He had already given up on the way of compressing his true essence. But who knew that there was always a ray of hope. Nalan Xian actually gave him another possibility.
That is to keep the true energy active at all times through rotation, and to compress and condense itself.
He didn't need to transform all of his true energy into higher quality energy. He only needed to condense a part of it in the center and transform it into higher quality energy.
Moreover, this does not require a very high level of spirit. He only needs to use his own spirit to push the true energy in his dantian to rotate in a fixed manner. The difficulty is not on the same level at all.
Lin Qianxing continued his research until he was 92 years old.
Failure, failure, and failure!
Lin Qianxing failed countless times, and the worst one was when his dantian ruptured, his tendons and veins exploded, and he almost died.
But luckily his Five Elements Changchun True Essence was powerful enough to save him from such injuries.
Zhang Xiuting felt distressed when seeing this and couldn't help but speak out to stop Lin Qianxing several times, but Lin Qianxing didn't care.
You can play the game again, but you can’t play the reality again.
Naturally, he wanted to enjoy himself all the time and live happily in the game.
But every time he thought about the powerlessness he had to endure in reality, he felt a little unwilling.
That's why he wants to seize these opportunities to gain more confidence and reduce the chances of being helpless in the future.
He sat cross-legged in the middle of the yard, the true energy in his dantian being stirred by his mental power and rotating according to a fixed pattern. From time to time, there would be some changes and fluctuations, causing the true energy in the core to collide and squeeze each other, but not excessively.
Lin Qianxing, who has tried it many times, is already familiar with this process.
The true energy in the Dantian is circulating faster and faster, the collision of the true energy is becoming more and more intense, and the range of squeezing between them is gradually shrinking.
Boom…Boom…Boom…Boom…
Lin Qianxing seemed to hear the sound of rough waves.
The most core ball of true energy has now become stagnant and as sticky as honey.
However, Lin Qianxing was still constantly squeezing his true energy.
Because he understood that this was only temporary. Once he released control of his true energy, it would instantly collapse and explode, and his entire dantian would be blown apart.
He was in a very calm mood, and he just steadily increased the compression progress according to his own experience.
Soon, the true essence that was like honey began to show signs of solidification. Lin Qianxing vaguely felt that something was condensing in the center of his dantian.
While thinking, Lin Qianxing suddenly felt that his vision had changed, and his figure seemed to have come to a vast and empty space.
In this space, there are surging purple waves, and in the center of the waves, a round crystal emitting purple light is slowly forming.
Lin Qianxing was surprised because he seemed to understand what was going on.
Look inside!!
Did he succeed in seeing within himself?
Yes, in the process of compressing his true energy, he used his mental power over and over again, which had honed his spirit to be more refined. It was only natural that he could now see within himself.
So, is the purple crystal that is forming in front of us the crystal that the true essence is about to condense?
Lin Qianxing watched quietly and soon he discovered a problem.
The surface of this crystal is not smooth enough and it is not stable enough. Once the speed of the waves slows down a little, it will collapse.
So how should he solve it?
Lin Qianxing looked at the irregular protrusions on the purple crystal and wanted to reach out to smooth them out.
And at this moment, a purple wave, under the control of Lin Qianxing, directly hit the protruding area, polishing it a little smoother.
Seeing this, Lin Qianxing instantly understood what he should do.
He was like a craftsman, delicately manipulating the true energy in his dantian, washing the purple crystals bit by bit. Gradually , a round purple pill formed in the center of the wave.
Compared with the previous crystal, it seems much more stable. Even without Lin Qianxing's control, it will not collapse again. Instead, it will grow stronger little by little with the wash of the waves, absorbing more waves on its body and becoming more pure and solidified.
"What is this?" Lin Qianxing blinked, his mood fluctuating a little.
The next moment, Lin Qianxing's consciousness suddenly returned to his body. He opened his eyes, stood up from his cross-legged position, and a complicated expression appeared on his face.
Lin Qianxing touched his dantian. He could feel that the true energy here was circulating rapidly, and there was a pill condensed from true energy at the core.
"Inner elixir?" Lin Qianxing murmured, "But what's the use of this?"
After thinking about it, Lin Qianxing's mind moved, and he directly mobilized a strand of inner elixir energy, then pointed his fingers forward.
Boom~!
A purple sword energy flew out, splitting the bluestone floor in front of Lin Qianxing, breaking the ground and eventually leaving behind a gully about ten feet long and half a meter deep.
Lin Qianxing felt the tingling sensation in his meridians, but his face was full of surprise.
Although this energy is only a wisp, it appears to be extremely condensed.
The energy he mobilized was almost equal to the total amount of true Qi in the body of a peak acquired expert.
Such high-quality energy can naturally cause extremely terrifying damage.
Lin Qianxing simply turned it into sword energy and released it, directly cutting out a mud gully more than three meters long.
However, this kind of energy cannot be used casually. Lin Qianxing felt that the tendons and meridians in his body that had just passed through that kind of energy were now injured. This was also because he had practiced the "Yi Jin Jian Gu Fa" and had already perfected it.
If it were an ordinary innate cultivator, his tendons and veins would probably have burst before he could even release the sword energy.
Letting this kind of energy run through the tendons and veins is a bit like letting magma flow inside a plastic water pipe. Thinking back on it now, Lin Qianxing can't help but feel that he is really lucky. If the tendons and veins were damaged along the way, the internal organs and flesh along the way would probably turn into rotten meat.
"What should this kind of energy be called? Solid true essence?" Lin Qianxing murmured, "So, is this considered a success?"
He felt that he had succeeded, but not completely.
After all, although he successfully compressed the true essence into a higher level of solid true essence, he couldn't operate and use it easily, so it was only half successful at best.
But all things are difficult at the beginning. Now that we have achieved half of the success, we can just solve the remaining problems slowly.
Since the strength of the tendons and veins is still lacking, the next step is to improve the strength of the tendons and veins.
So, relying on the connections he had accumulated over the years, Lin Qianxing began to look for ways to strengthen his tendons and veins.
Soon he reaped the rewards.
He obtained some techniques for strengthening the meridians, as well as rare treasures and prescriptions for strengthening the muscles.
But the effects of these things are minimal.
The exercises are not as good as the "Yi Jin Jian Gu Fa", and the natural treasures are of little effect.
Lin Qianxing couldn't help but think of the Yi Jin Grass in reality.
That thing is not scarce in reality, but the effect of Yi Jin grass is really ridiculously strong. If there are a few Yi Jin grasses in this game, Lin Qianxing feels that he doesn't have to worry about the lack of strength in his tendons.
Lin Qianxing has been troubled by the problem of insufficient strength of his tendons and veins for more than 20 years.
At this time, the solid true energy in his Dantian had grown to its maximum. The purple inner elixir almost filled the entire Dantian. Only the outermost layer of liquid true energy maintained the lubrication function, so that it would not cause excessive pressure on the Dantian.
It was also in this year that Lin Qianxing heard a piece of information about improving the strength of tendons and veins from one of his disciples.
"Master, on our way to Long Country, we found a strange dragon near Suhu Island. Its body was thirty feet long. If we extract its dragon tendons and boil them into a pot of Yijin Paste, it will definitely meet your requirements."
