Volume 4: The Rise of Wuji Dao Chapter 20: Martial Arts, Two Years
After returning to Shuiyue Cave, Su Yan first sorted out what he had gained from traveling to four counties with Min Xuelou.
Before going to Longshan County, the sect's achievement value was 3200 points.
Then he used 100 points of his spiritual consciousness to attach to Wu Yue.
200 points were awarded for destroying the Jinyun Trading Company's caravan, 300 points were awarded for destroying the Qinglang Gang, Jishan Bandits, and the Dao-stabbing Society, and 500 points were awarded for destroying the Wu Lao Temple.
Even if we exclude the 110 points spent on Min Xuelou, the total achievement value gained this time is 1,490 points.
So now the sect’s achievement value is 4690 points.
In addition, he also obtained nine martial arts secrets books, including "The Wonderful Method of Gu Poison" and "The Art of Concentrating the Mind" (fragmented parts).
Although except for the two books obtained from the Wu Lao Temple, the rest are at most yellow-level martial arts or techniques, which are probably of little value to Wuji Dao, it can still be regarded as enriching Wuji Dao's martial arts collection.
Then comes the financial gains.
In total, he earned more than 500,000 taels of silver notes alone!
There were more than one thousand taels of gold , which was at least equivalent to more than ten thousand taels of silver.
As for other jewels, the total value is roughly estimated to be over 100,000 taels of silver.
Finally, 13 new female disciples were accepted, bringing the number of the fourth-generation disciples of Wuji Dao to 75.
However, the addition of these 13 girls made the number of female disciples once again exceed that of male disciples.
In this regard, Su Yan could only sigh that it seemed that God wanted to make the Wuji Dao more Yin-dominant and more Yang-weak.
Considering that after the Wu Lao Temple and other forces that cooperated with the Wu You Hui were wiped out, the Wu You Hui would definitely send people to investigate and even conduct a large-scale search in the Longshan County area, Su Yan temporarily shelved his plan to let Wu Yue travel.
It just so happened that he needed to comprehend the "Art of Concentrating the Mind" and study how to cultivate and use spiritual awareness, so he planned to stay quietly in Shuiyue Cave for a few days.
While focusing on his own cultivation, Su Yan did not forget to pass on the martial arts he had acquired in the consumption world one by one.
For example, "Nine Swords of Dugu" and "Xiantian Gong" are both earth-level martial arts. Previously, the only two martial arts that could rival the Wuji Dao were "Wuji Gong" and "Wuji Sword", which were created by Su Yan by integrating many martial arts.
Moreover, the Wuji Sword can only exert its power in the Xiantian realm, which means that the strongest martial arts used by Wuji disciples in the acquired realm are only the upper-grade Xuan level.
Although the top-grade Xuan-level martial arts are considered exquisite in the contemporary martial arts world, the gap is obvious compared to the top-grade Earth-level martial arts such as "Nine Swords of Dugu".
What’s important is that “Nine Swords of Dugu” does not require high internal strength, and the practitioner only needs to have good comprehension.
And the Wuji Dao is not short of disciples with high comprehension abilities.
For example, Su Yi's young apprentice Bai Jianjia has an comprehension level of 12 points, which is excellent.
Then came Su Yi and the fourth-generation disciple Han Xuan, whose comprehension points were 10 and 11 respectively, reaching an excellent level.
After them came Wu Yue, Mu Chunhua, Li Ru and other disciples whose comprehension level had reached 9 points.
Of course, this is also the minimum requirement for comprehension in practicing "Nine Swords of Dugu".
Going further down, people like Min Xuelou, who have an 8th level of comprehension, can barely learn, but their progress is extremely slow.
If one does not improve his comprehension, or if the practitioner himself encounters an opportunity for enlightenment, it will probably take at least five years to truly unleash the power of the Dugu Nine Swords.
The same is true for "Xiantian Gong", which requires a very high level of comprehension.
However, Wuji Dao has the "Wuji Gong", and the "Xiantian Gong" is just another choice for disciples.
Of course, Su Yan would not let his disciples learn either "Xiantian Gong" or "Nine Swords of Dugu" casually.
The Dharma cannot be passed on lightly.
Therefore, at present he only allows the first and second generation disciples to practice these two martial arts.
As for the disciples below them, they can only be taught if they have made great contributions to the sect.
In addition to "Xiantian Gong" and "Nine Swords of Dugu", the "Hanbing Zhenqi" and "Yi Qi Hua Sanqing" that Su Yan brought back are both considered to be top-grade Xuan-level martial arts.
Others such as "Walking on Frost and Breaking Ice Palm", "Golden Goose Kung Fu", "Quanzhen Sword Technique", "Three Deadly Immortal Swords in a Chain", etc., are also considered as middle and lower-grade Xuan-level martial arts.
For the contemporary martial arts world, there is no useless Xuan-level martial arts. It can be said that it has greatly enriched the martial arts foundation of the Wuji Dao.
Finally, the Quanzhen Sect's "Tiangang Beidou Formation", "Beidou Great Formation" and "Gathering of Seven Stars" have filled the gap in formation-based martial arts for the Wuji Dao.
Su Yan taught these martial arts one by one, and even asked his disciples to record them into secret manuals so that they could be placed in the Wuji Dao's martial arts building in the future.
…
Time flies.
Su Yan stayed in Shuiyue Cave for two years.
On this day, Su Yan practiced martial arts in Wuji Hall as usual.
Now his practice is divided into two aspects. One is refining Qi, which is to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and transform it into innate true Qi; the other is refining spirit, which is to condense and strengthen spiritual consciousness.
In terms of spiritual cultivation, he practiced the "Art of Concentrating the Mind".
But it was no longer the one he obtained from the Wu Lao Temple, but the new "Concentration Technique" he adapted a year ago.
Without the Tianmu diagram, he visualized himself.
It was found that although the progress of cultivation was extremely slow, it could indeed slowly strengthen the spiritual consciousness.
As for applying the laws of spiritual consciousness, it is even simpler.
Spiritual consciousness is actually pseudo-divine consciousness, so for Su Yan, who possesses divine consciousness, using divine consciousness is as simple as breaking through a layer of window paper.
After practicing "The Art of Concentrating the Mind" for a year, the limit of his spiritual consciousness extension has reached three feet and three feet.
In addition, he can condense all his spiritual awareness into one beam and stab the enemy like a spear; he can also split it into nine beams and stab nine enemies at the same time like flying needles.
Of course, these can only be performed within three feet and three meters, and the closer the distance, the greater the power.
In addition, Su Yan had also thought about controlling objects with his spiritual consciousness.
Unfortunately, no matter how much he practiced, he still couldn't even move a piece of paper.
It seemed as if his spiritual consciousness at this stage was unable to have any influence on physical objects.
So after studying for a month or two, Su Yan stopped wasting time on this.
It is worth mentioning that after adapting the new "Concentration Technique", Su Yan did not forget to pass it on to the first and second generation disciples.
Unfortunately, most people seemed to have no effect after practicing. Only Su Yi and Bai Jianjia, who had excellent comprehension, felt more energetic.
Su Yan speculated that either there was something wrong with the new "Concentration Technique" he adapted, or the process of refining the mind was inherently so slow.
If the progress of refining the spirit is faster, why are there so many warriors refining Qi in the world? Although there are few people refining the body, there are still some, but only those refining the spirit seem to be cut off?
Unable to figure out the reason why his disciples were making extremely slow progress in practicing the "Concentration Technique", Su Yan had no choice but to put it aside and prepare to continue studying it after he breaks through to the Void Realm or even a higher realm in the future.
Finally, it should be said that he has made good progress in Qi training.
Originally, he thought that even if he optimized the "Wuji Gong" with reference to the "Xiantian Gong" and "Bixie Sword Manual", it would take him at least ten years to break through to the fifth level of Xiantian.
But now, he felt that in five or six years at most, he would be able to break through to the fifth level of the innate realm.
Maybe even faster.
Because he discovered that the existence of spiritual consciousness was of great help to him in finding and opening his own acupoints.
Coupled with the gains gained after the optimization of Wuji Gong, the practice is naturally much faster than before.
After finishing today's visualization exercises, Su Yan was preparing to refine his Qi when he saw Wu Yue walk in.
Although he now has the ability to protect himself by relying on his spiritual sense even without exchanging skills from the mall, Su Yi and Wu Yue still insist on taking turns to guard him day and night.
Calculating the time, it is now time for Wu Yue to take over Su Yi's job.
Therefore, Su Yan was not surprised by Wu Yue's arrival.
But he keenly noticed that there was a look of joy between Wu Yue's eyebrows.
Seeing him looking at me, I looked as if I was about to say something.
Su Yan's heart moved, and he said directly: "Wu Yue, your master sees that you look happy, but is your Du channel also unblocked?"
