Chapter 197 Breakthrough to Qi Hai Realm

In the bedroom with the door closed, Shen Qing sat quietly like a pine tree, his figure upright on the bed. He gently picked up a white round bead in front of him with two fingers.

This was the wish-power bead that he had obtained from Du Yuntong that day. It looked ordinary and inconspicuous.

If you were not in the imperial court system or a member of a noble family, you probably wouldn't know that a single bead was worth five hundred taels, enough to buy a small house.

If you were an ordinary citizen of the Great Zhou, you would never be able to earn this much money in your lifetime.

"almost."

Shen Qing frowned, opened the wooden box, took out the jade pendant from the box, put it in front of his eyes and looked at it for a few seconds.

"Is it enough to just put this jade token on the Dantian?"

Shen Qing expressed some doubts, but still silently placed the jade token on the skin of his dantian.

"Hiss... so cold."

Apart from the cold touch, there was no change.

Just when Shen Qing was wondering what was going on, the jade plate on his dantian began to become gradually colder, and this cold feeling quickly spread throughout his body with his dantian as the center.

The wish bead held in Shen Qing's hand seemed to be activated, becoming crystal clear, slowly emitting a soft white light, gently floating up and stopping in front of his chest.

Under Shen Qing's gaze, the wish-power bead began to slowly rotate, and the light flickered like a heartbeat.

In a trance, Shen Qing seemed to hear the whispers of countless people in his ears, which made him uneasy and his mood gradually became irritable.

Just when Shen Qing thought he was possessed and wanted to stop practicing, the coldness that had just spread throughout his body seemed to turn into an invisible hand, suppressing all his mumblings.

hum!
The speed of the wish bead became faster and faster. At a certain moment, it seemed to have reached a critical value and continued to release circles of ripples.

These ripples spread rapidly, like a lighthouse guiding the direction in the deep sea, drawing in the almost imperceptible thin spiritual energy between heaven and earth one by one.

For a moment, the free and unstable spiritual energy in the outside world gathered here as if being pulled by invisible ropes, filling the entire room and surrounding him.

Shen Qing was just extremely surprised.

"Is this... spiritual energy?"

Under the guidance of the wish beads, these spiritual energies gradually became rich and pure. They stuck to Shen Qing's skin, penetrated into Shen Qing's body through the orifices and along his breathing, merged with his blood, and nourished every inch of his skin and every bone.

Shen Qing only felt as if needles were pricking his whole body. This discomfort even penetrated into his bones, flesh and blood, and was everywhere.

After a moment, the energy in his body that had been accumulated through days of hard training, under the infusion of this powerful spiritual energy, expanded and boiled rapidly like a ignited fire.

They collided and merged with each other, making bursts of roars, as if thousands of troops were galloping in his body, and the noise was getting more and more intense, shocking him.

"coming!"

Shen Qing's heart became solemn, and he was ready for battle.

He has been practicing martial arts for more than half a year, and combined with the "learning" in the martial arts hall a few days ago, he has gained sufficient understanding of the principles of martial arts.

Like his training experience in Taiping County, from the perfection of Qi and blood to stretching muscles and refining bones, from stretching muscles and refining bones to strengthening the skin and nourishing Qi, all of them stayed at the stage of tempering flesh and blood, which is the way of the world.

Most of the martial artists without any roots in the world are also concentrated in this stage. If they can find and practice to the Qi Nourishing Realm, they can be considered as big figures in a small place.

But for the powerful people in the Great Zhou, this was just the beginning.

After the Qi Nourishing Realm, there are six other realms: Qi Sea Realm, Yuluo Realm, Danren Realm, Xiantian Realm, Lingxu Realm, and Yuanshen Realm.

These six realms are the true practice.

Among them, the Qi Hai Realm is a major watershed for martial artists. Once you cross it, you will be truly extraordinary and can live at least ten more years.

Among the imperial court martial arts, there is even a saying that "only those who have cultivated to the Qi Hai realm can be considered as people of our generation."

If one wants to enter the Qi Sea realm, one needs to transform the Qi into true Qi. With the blessing of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, the Qi gained from the whole body's cultivation will be transformed into true Qi. With the true Qi, one can forge the spiritual sea to accommodate all the rivers of heaven and earth.

Shen Qing is going through this process now. Thinking of this, his heart was filled with ripples, and he became more and more excited as time went by.

I don’t know how much time passed.

Finally, at a certain moment, all the energy seemed to have found a breakthrough. They gathered into a torrent, violently impacting the seemingly indestructible barrier in Shen Qing's body.

With a low and long roar, the barrier shattered, and the energy instantly turned into purer and more powerful true energy!

Shen Qing was surrounded by rays of light, which flowed in every corner of the room.

Just after he transformed his true qi, countless spiritual energies continued to pour into his body.

A gleam of light flashed in Shen Qing's eyes, and his face became excited.

He clearly felt that as the true Qi in his body continued to surge and gather, an unprecedented sense of warmth and fullness arose in his dantian.

It seemed as if a vast ocean was quietly forming there.

Shen Qing closed his eyes and immersed his mind in his dantian.

The true energy flows like a river, vast and mighty, endlessly.

The sound of waves rang in his ears, and he seemed to see a vast ocean formed by true energy.

Above the vast ocean, the true energy began to diffuse and evaporate like morning mist. It swirled lightly and intertwined with the meridians throughout the body.

With a low and long roar, the condensed sea of ​​energy completely stabilized, stretching as far as the eye could see.

After a while, Shen Qing realized that the strange pain all over his body was receding quickly like the tide, and the true Qi replaced the strong Qi and flowed gently inside his body.

"It's done!"

Shen Qing opened his eyes, clenched his fists, and felt his whole body filled with surging power.

With just a casual move, the ocean of true energy in his body surged up, and the aura it emitted made the surrounding space tremble.

Shen Qing looked at his palm, his face full of ecstasy and he couldn't help but want to let out a long roar.

Considering some inappropriate things, he endured it, but the corners of his mouth turned up and he couldn't help laughing out loud.

Shen Qing glanced and saw that the sunset outside the window had completely sunk into the horizon. The night had quietly fallen and Yongzhou City was already immersed in darkness. But he was like the only firefly in the dark night, his whole body blooming with rosy glow.

After officially breaking through to the Qi Hai realm, he now had the capital to continue climbing.

Shen Qing put his thoughts aside, took off the jade token from his dantian, and the coldness in his body immediately faded away.

The wish bead floating in front of him also fell.

Shen Qing reached out to take it, and unexpectedly discovered that after his refining, the size of the wish bead had become smaller.

If this is the case, it will be completely used up after two or three more uses. Shen Qing always feels that this amount of consumption is a bit too much.

Generally speaking, this wish-power bead is only released once a year and should not be consumed so quickly.

However, there is no one to compare with at the moment, and Shen Qing doesn't know whether his situation is normal.

He put the wish beads that had been refined by one third into his arms, and thought to himself: "When I get my wish beads salary at the end of the year, I can try to ask the old coach of the martial arts hall for advice to see if this is normal."

The wish-power beads he used for his breakthrough this time were obtained from the magistrate of Taiping County. Their origin was not very legitimate and it was difficult to explain.

If it were known by someone with ulterior motives, it might cause trouble.

There are many talented people in the county town, so it is better to be careful.

It is safer to wait until your own wish bead is distributed before asking others.

Shen Qing made up his mind, thought no more, and fell into a deep sleep.
