I have a heavenly book of merit and virtue

Chapter 230 Qi and blood holding elixir! Nine breaths of success! (4K please subscribe~)

Bodhidharma manual!

Chen Yan's eyes suddenly condensed.

He had thought that Yu Huatian would leave him something "something" in the jade ring finger, but he did not expect that this "something" would actually be the manual of Bodhidharma, the founder of the martial arts lineage of the Wu Dynasty.

To this day, Chen Yan can still clearly remember the shocking sword strike made by the old monk in the illusion of the 'whetstone'.

Even though Chen Yan is now innately perfect, when he thinks back to the shocking sword he saw in the illusion, he still feels a shiver from his soul...

Chen Yan asked himself.

This knife...

He couldn't stop it.

Saying this sentence would probably make all the martial arts masters of the Wu Dynasty unbelievable.

The body, the blood, the soul, all three are indispensable.

The same is true for martial arts.

The two completely different paths of practice, martial arts and Taoism, had a magical intersection at this moment.

Is this 'Master Bodhidharma' really just an "ordinary person" who pioneered martial arts?

There is indeed a realm above innateness!
Even above the innate, there is still a realm!

It's just that the former condenses the mana elixir, while the latter condenses the energy and blood elixir.

It also includes the soul, which is the divine soul.

He looked at the somewhat old manual in his hand, with a complicated look in his eyes, and seemed to be saying to himself:

As the saying goes, the sky will be clear, the earth will be peaceful, the grains will be full, and people will live forever.

Therefore, in the world of spiritual practice, there is also a saying that refining qi and transforming into gods is called the golden elixir realm.

Chen Yan didn't know what level this martial arts patriarch was in.

Don't know if it's a coincidence or something else.

Time passed by unconsciously.

Both of them almost coincidentally condense the "golden elixir" in the body.

In a daze, the surrounding environment changed, and he seemed to have arrived at a remote Zen monastery. An old gray-robed monk was sitting on a futon, talking about his understanding of martial arts, his Tao...

This means that whether it is a magic elixir or a qi and blood elixir, anyone who gets it will have a greatly increased lifespan.

Because it records Patriarch Bodhidharma’s understanding of martial arts in his later years.

According to the "Dharma Manual", if you want to hold the elixir with Qi and blood, you must first improve the 'Jing Qi Shen' in the physical body to the extreme.

In other words, they are different but have the same effect.

Only a strong physical body can support the huge energy and blood when holding the elixir.

Unexpectedly, this "Dharma Manual" was of great help to him.

And this "point" is where the essence of the whole body's blood energy is concentrated in the Dantian, restraining the golden elixir and forming a circle everywhere.

In Taoist practice, refining qi and transforming into spirit means "condensing civil and martial fire to refine, retreating qi and returning it to liquid, turning it into gold liquid and true essence, moving the gold liquid around the sky, and forming a golden elixir".

But when the monk was called 'Dharma', everything made sense again.

The three complement each other and are indispensable.

Is it possible that this Patriarch Bodhidharma is the same, that this Patriarch Bodhidharma, like those legendary immortals, is a supreme being that roams the heavens?
With a little bit of excitement in his heart, Chen Yan opened the "Dharma Manual".

Chen Yan has not been able to figure out the true identity of the Patriarch Bodhidharma until now, but there is no doubt that this Martial Arts Patriarch who founded the martial arts lineage of the Wu Dynasty is at the forefront of everyone in martial arts.

At this moment, Chen Yan only had the martial arts patriarch's description of the realm above innateness in his mind...

The innate perfection of martial arts, the innate perfection that has reached the "end" of martial arts, and the innate perfection of even having a body as powerful as the dragon-elephant golden body, can actually not stop a monk's seemingly ordinary sword.

After the innate process, one holds the elixir and sits on the hips, so that all the energy, energy, blood, marrow, and plasma of the whole body are concentrated, just like the first opening of the Hongmeng, which evolved into a small "dot" in the vast world.

As soon as he took a look, Chen Yan was entranced.

He didn't know why the martial arts patriarch didn't make these innate martial arts realms public.

Here, essence, energy, and spirit don’t just refer to qi and blood.

When the sound in his ears ended, Chen Yan woke up as if from a dream.

And only with enough qi and blood can the "qi and blood golden elixir" be condensed.

And according to this martial arts patriarch, above all innateness, its name is Bao Dan!
Dan is single, one is single; but there is no right way, so it is called Baodan!

"Dharma..."

He thought about the rumors about another Patriarch Bodhidharma in Blue Star.

Now, Chen Yan is 100% sure that the 'Dharma Patriarch' who pioneered the martial arts lineage of the Wu Dynasty must have a martial arts realm that is above the innate!
Even at this moment, Chen Yan had more on his mind.

And only a powerful soul can control and concentrate the essence of the whole body's energy and blood into one point.

"Looking up at the great road, chaos begins to separate, separate the heaven and the earth, the sun and menstruation, the latitude and longitude, the vital energy, the essence of yin and yang..."

Chen Yan currently only meets one of the conditions.

That is the physical body.

With the strength of the dragon-elephant golden body, there is no doubt that Chen Yan is fully qualified to hold the elixir physically.

The second is Qi and blood.

Although he was already innately perfect, Chen Yan could feel that his energy and blood still had room for improvement.

In other words, his current Qi and blood have not reached the ultimate perfection.

But it’s not far from consummation.

The slowest one is of course the soul.

Although Chen Yan's soul was inherently stronger in his two lifetimes, it was still a long way from reaching perfection.

If he practiced step by step, Chen Yan felt that it would take at least ten years.

This practice is based on the premise that Chen Yan can steadily increase the strength of his soul by practicing Taoism.

For innate perfectionists like Wei Shanhe and Wu An who have no talent for cultivation, it would be impossible to achieve natural soul perfection without a hundred years.

At this moment, Chen Yan finally understood why in the thousands of years since the founding of the Wu Dynasty, there had been more than one innate perfection in martial arts.

But except for the legendary Patriarch Bodhidharma, there has never been a strong man holding elixirs.

Because it’s too difficult…

It is too difficult to meet the conditions for Qi and Blood to hold elixirs...

As perfect as Wei Shanhe is, the threshold of qi and blood is the first and easiest to reach.

But the subsequent physical body has a special soul, which is tantamount to reaching heaven for these innate perfections.

Without special circumstances, it would be impossible to achieve the perfection of the two without a hundred or even hundreds of years.

And what about the lifespan of a martial artist?
Even if he is born perfect, he can only be two hundred years old at most.

In the martial arts journey, only after holding the elixir with Qi and blood can one's lifespan be greatly increased.

Before Qi Xue Bao Dan, the life span of a martial artist was actually much lower than that of a practitioner.

And this is also an important reason why Bao Dan has never appeared in the martial arts of the Wu Dynasty.

It’s not that the road ahead is impossible, it’s just that it’s too difficult.

It's rare that no one has ever achieved it.

And for those practitioners who want to practice martial arts at the same time, it is also very difficult for them to pursue physical perfection.

With this time, maybe they have already condensed the civil and military fire, retreated the energy and returned liquid, and condensed the magic elixir. Why bother to worry about one thing and lose the other and work hard to condense Lao Shizi's energy and blood to hold the elixir?
After thinking about this, Chen Yan suddenly realized that it only took him ten years to ensure the perfection of the three, which was extremely fast.

But Chen Yan still felt it was too slow...

"It seems that we have to find a way to increase the strength of the soul as soon as possible."

Chen Yan was thoughtful.

It would be best to shorten this time to three years, or even less.

This time coincides with the complete recovery of the Netherworld.

Of course, this is just an ideal situation.

At least for now, Chen Yanfeng has some ways to increase the strength of his soul. You can only get it from the Heavenly Book of Merits or elsewhere.

But before that, Chen Yan had to upgrade Tiangang's magical power 'Nine Breaths Convincing Qi' to Dacheng.

He looked at his merit points: seventy-four thousand.

There is only twenty-six thousand short of one hundred thousand merit.

Thinking of this, Chen Yan looked over his shoulder and kept silent. Even Yu Huatian, who was practicing the third level of Yin Shen, did not notice any wrong fortune.

"I remember your nose seemed to be very sharp?"

Chen Yan spoke.

The bandits who followed Hutou Mountain in the first place relied on their noses to make a fortune.

"Meow~"

Fa Cai raised his chin like a arrogant man and glanced sideways at Chen Yan, as if to say: You know nothing about the uncle's abilities!
"That's good... let's go. During this time, we will thoroughly 'clean up' Nagaze County..."

As he spoke, Chen Yan used the Hidden Abyss to shrink to the ground, took one step forward, and disappeared into Changze County.

Three months after that.

Chen Yan took Facai with him and traveled around Changze County.

Each of them and one cat almost slaughtered all the ghosts and evil spirits in the entire Nagaze County.

During this process, Chen Yan occasionally released his wealth to fight against the enemy.

This black cat, who is suspected to have the bloodline of ferocious beasts, has a combat power that is higher than Chen Yan imagined, and is already comparable to that of the thousand-year-old tree spirit.

Of course, Chen Yan did not delay his cultivation during this period, especially the improvement of Qi and blood, and tried to improve it to the extreme.

The Black Mountain Workshop on Black Mountain is still in full swing forging the [Bing Fire Thunder Cannon].

According to Ruda's feedback, the barrel of the first prop-fired Thor cannon has been completed and has begun to enter the final stage.

This time, the barrel of the Propylene Fire Thor Cannon was completely forged according to the standards of [Thousand Refined Iron], and its heat resistance and hardness have been qualitatively improved.

There will no longer be the phenomenon of "melting" as soon as one shot is fired like last time.

When Ruda finishes engraving the curse pattern on the cannon, the first propionic fire thunder cannon will be completed.

It's been a month faster than Chen Yan imagined.

Because this propionic fire thunder cannon does not require a forged gun mount.

Chen Yan planned to carry this propionic fire thunder cannon with him and try the experiment of firing it close to his face in the future.

And in the past three months, there was no peace outside of Nagaze County.

The connection between Laoshan Road and Qianzhong County is becoming more and more frequent.

It seems that the combination of the two has achieved a qualitative breakthrough.

The second blood moon did not happen, and the ancient forces hiding in the dark world did not appear.

Emperor Zhao Longji of the Wu Dynasty has not yet declared the Rebirth Religion as the state religion.

However, when the governor went back, it didn't take long for a transfer order to catch Chen Yan's attention.

It’s about Weishan River.

The Lingzhou governor was said to have offended the emperor and was dismissed from his position. He was transferred outside the customs and served as a general in a place called "Hulao Pass" in Youzhou.

However, although he was removed from the post of governor, his three thousand flying dragon troops were still under his command and followed Wei Shanhe to Hulao Pass to take up his post.

Three months is not a long time.

The Wu Dynasty seemed to still be 'peaceful'.

The power of the two avenues and Buddhas, Lingshan Taoism and Buddhism White Horse, seemed to be deliberately restrained during this period.

Everyone seemed to be waiting.

Wait for the complete recovery of the Netherworld.

Underneath the seemingly calm peace, there is a surging undercurrent.

But all this has nothing to do with Chen Yan for the time being.

In other words, individual news is related, but Chen Yan's focus is not on it for the time being.

because.

One hundred thousand merits...

enough.

[Merit: one hundred thousand. 】

Seeing the 100,000 merits he finally collected, Chen Yan breathed a sigh of relief.

In order to collect 100,000 merits, Chen Yan's life was not easy these three months.

Mainly because the ghosts and evil spirits in Changze County have been cleaned up over and over again by Feiyuwei, Chenghuang Tudi, and Meishan Dao and Lushan Dao disciples.

There are not many evil ghosts left alive.

For this reason, Chen Yan had to secretly go out, including but not limited to Qianzhong County, Xiangxi County, and even outside Xiangzhou...

Of course, this process must be noticeable and carried out quietly.

Therefore, a lot of time was wasted.

It was clear that there was only twenty-six thousand merit points, but it still took Chen Yan three months.

But it's all worth it.

Looking at the one hundred thousand merits displayed on the merit points, Chen Yan's heart was filled with a sense of happiness.

Although they are about to go away...

Chen Yan felt an inexplicable pain in his heart.

However, this pain only appeared for a short moment, and Chen Yan was replaced by anticipation.

With a hint of excitement in his eyes, Chen Yan took a deep breath.

Dark blue! add a bit!
Ah no, it’s the Book of Merits.

With his mind introverted, Chen Yan came to the void space again and opened the Heavenly Book of Merits. Along with the hundred thousand merits, a new line of small Chinese characters appeared:
"If you have one hundred thousand meritorious deeds, you will be blessed by the heavenly officials."

Almost without any hesitation, Chen Yan silently thought:

"Activate Heavenly Official's Blessing!"

At the same time, Chen Yan added another sentence at the end:
"Choose 'Three Days of Enlightenment'."

As the thoughts in Chen Yan's mind fell.

The familiar figure appeared out of thin air again.

Wearing the Prime Minister's Hat with Ruyi Wings on his head, a long beard with five locks, a red robe embroidered with dragons, and a jade belt, he holds Ruyi in his arms...

It's Tianguan!

The kind old man smiled slightly, opened his mouth and said:

"Blessed by the heavenly official, he received the heavenly fortune and was rewarded with 'three days of enlightenment'."

Familiar and obscure fluctuations enveloped his heart, and the sound of the great avenue echoed in his mind. Chen Yan was no longer as strange as the first time.

With almost no delay, Chen Yan focused on the Tiangang magical power 'Nine Breaths Convincing Qi'.

As a large amount of knowledge about the 'Nine Breaths Convince Qi' came to his mind, Chen Yan immediately gathered his mind and wandered in the ocean of knowledge like a sponge.

Time passed slowly minute by minute.

Chen Yan was much more immersed in enlightenment this time than the last time.

It may be related to the more profound Tiangang magical power of 'Nine Breaths Convincing Qi'.

When three days passed and the enlightenment was over, Chen Yan opened his eyes sadly, with a trace of reluctance in his eyes.

But this reluctance was soon replaced by excitement.

He quickly opened the Book of Merits and looked at the Tiangang column.
