From a Zhengyi Taoist Child to a Master of All Laws

Chapter 76: Qi-eating Thunder Technique
Not counting other assistance, Li Yang's average progress in practicing Yangwu Shiqi Method is 12 points every day.

If you were to ask an old Taoist priest what the most lethal Taoist technique is, the answer he would get would definitely not be swordsmanship, but thunder magic.

Lei Fa flourished during the Southern Song, Jin and Yuan dynasties, and has continued to influence modern times.

The founders of the Thunder Method were Wang Wenqing and Lin Lingsu of the Shenxiao School. It has been passed down by the Shenxiao and Qingwei Schools, and has also been practiced by the Donghua, Tianxin, and Zhengyi Schools. The Xiaowu Lei Zheng Fu that Chi Yanhong used before was from the Shenxiao School.

However, the thunder method of the Shenxiao and Qingwei schools is actually a branch of the inner alchemy method, which advocates internal refining to form the elixir and external application to achieve the method.

Its ideological basis is the theory of the correspondence between heaven and man, which holds that the human body is a small heaven and earth, and that all parts of the human body correspond to the large heaven and earth. The head is like the sky, the feet are like the earth, the limbs are like the four seasons, and the five internal organs are like the five elements. The essence, energy, and spirit are all connected and responsive to the heaven and earth. Then, through rituals such as talismans, "appealing to heaven and serving the emperor", one can communicate with the heaven and control one's own qi in the body, grasp the thunder mechanism, and attract thunder and lightning.

Li Yang was not sure whether this inner alchemy thunder method really existed, but the inner alchemy thunder method was ultimately just an introduction, while the thunder technique he awakened focused on the word "nurturing".

Inner Alchemy Thunder Method, Qi-Eating Thunder Method, one is a method, the other is a technique.

The operation of thunder magic is to absorb thunder energy from thunder clouds and nourish it in
The body becomes something like thunder and lightning, and when fighting the enemy, it can release lightning.

There are two conditions for practicing thunder magic. One is that the physical fitness must be strong enough, and the other is to at least reach the innate level.

In fact, to be honest, Li Yang's physical fitness is far from enough to nurture lightning in the body. Fortunately, he has the Golden Light Spell, which can make up for the shortcomings of his physical fitness.

The practice of the Qi-eating Thunder Technique is divided into several realms, just like the sword techniques. The first three steps are still gathering Qi, refining Qi, and nourishing Qi.

Li Yang sat cross-legged calmly and began to practice thunder magic, silently sensing the free thunder energy between heaven and earth.

At this moment, a thunder like the wrath of a god broke through the cloud curtain, illuminating the entire mountain behind Baiyun. Li Yang subconsciously looked up and felt a little dizzy. The sky was filled with endless dark clouds, and the thunder sounded like a god or demon throwing a spear, lashing the earth.

One cannot help but feel awe at the majestic power.

After the thunder, the remaining lightning energy floated between heaven and earth. Li Yang seized the opportunity, opened his mouth and sucked in a stream of violent and disordered lightning energy like a white snake.

The lightning was unruly and rushed straight into his internal organs. Even with the protection of the Golden Light Curse, Li Yang still felt the hairs on his body stand up.

After practicing for an afternoon and absorbing more than a dozen lightning qi, Li Yang suddenly felt something was wrong.

The thunder energy wandered around in his body and could never gather into a ball. Moreover, it would dissipate if Li Yang relaxed a little.

"Once I'm inside your body, how can you just leave like that?"

Li Yang exerted great strength and forced a dozen strands of lightning energy together, but he didn't expect this to cause a stress reaction. The lightning energy suddenly exploded and almost broke Li Yang's golden light spell. Blood trickled out of the corners of his mouth.

After learning from his mistakes and envious of the power of Lei Qi, Li Yang calmed down and reflected on the reasons for his failure.

"The method of gathering Qi is exactly the same as that of practicing sword techniques. Why is the sword technique so smooth to practice, but the thunder technique is so obscure?"

After considering many reasons, Li Yang even looked through the relevant records of the inner alchemy thunder method. After careful consideration, he tried to absorb a wisp of thunder energy.

But this time, Li Yang did not use the Golden Light Curse to protect his body. Instead, he directly swallowed the lightning energy into his stomach.

This was equivalent to being struck by lightning. Li Yang's body trembled, and he even smelled a scent of meat. The pain almost made him lose his concentration.

However, unexpectedly, after the thunder qi passed, the destroyed flesh and blood suddenly showed signs of life, and a lot of powder kept coming out from the internal organs and bones, and was swept away by the thunder qi and turned into powder.

"There's hope!" Li Yang immediately realized his mistake. The purpose of thunder and lightning entering the body is to cleanse the constitution and improve physical fitness. Only in this process can he gradually comprehend the mystery of thunder and lightning and truly refine thunder and lightning.

"May you be blessed with boundless fortune. Am I asking for it to be struck by lightning?" Li Yang complained bitterly while continuously inhaling and exhaling lightning energy.

Feeling the damage to his body, Li Yang finally understood that the two prerequisites for practicing thunder magic were not false. Without a certain physical foundation, it would be impossible to withstand the process of thunder qi body refining.

In the past, Li Yang had always been protected by the Golden Light Spell, but only now did he clearly realize the shortcomings of his body.

Without the Golden Light Spell, his physical strength was not even comparable to that of the dwarf and farmer who had reached the second level of cultivation in the "Liu Sect".

The speed at which his body recovered was far slower than the degree of damage caused by the thunder energy. Li Yang made up his mind, summoned the Moon Essence Wheel and ascended into the air to block the rain, while he took out a drop of Kunlun Earth Milk and swallowed it.

When the earth milk entered his stomach, Li Yang immediately swallowed and exhaled a large amount of thunder energy like crazy.

Dark clouds rolled across the sky, thunder roared and raged, strong winds and heavy rain lashed the earth, and the dark sky seemed to be collapsing.

Unspeakable pain tortured every inch of Li Yang's nerves. Wherever the Kunlun Earth Milk went, flesh and blood grew and was full of vitality, but in the blink of an eye it was destroyed by the boundless thunder energy.

Between life and death, a mysterious aura began to emerge in Li Yang's body.

A faint black light appeared on the surface of his body, and Li Yang was tortured to the point of feeling ecstasy, but because of this, his body slowly began to resonate with the thunder Qi.

The lightning Qi falls into the Dantian and condenses into a ball, which slowly blends with the Yangwu Qi-eating method to produce mysterious changes.

"According to the evening news, on October 10, the Chengdu Meteorological Observatory issued an orange rainstorm warning. Affected by strong convection, some areas of Chengdu will experience long-term heavy to torrential rain in the next 8-3 days. Please pay attention to prevent the adverse effects of secondary disasters such as urban waterlogging that may be caused by heavy rainfall..."

The rain was still falling as Professor Hu crawled out of the cave in Mount Emei in a hunched over position. A large number of troops and various staff were stationed on the hillside, and a large amount of materials were piled up on the material trucks nearby.

Mount Emei has been closed to the public. As one of the ten great Taoist caves, it is one of the main famous mountains currently being developed by the government.

When the officer next to him saw the professor coming out, he quickly opened his umbrella and went to greet him.

"How is it, Professor Hu, what is the situation in the cave?"

"What about the others who entered the cave?"

The officer wanted to ask more questions, but Professor Hu suddenly started coughing violently and fell to the ground in the rain, as if he was coughing out all his internal organs, tears streaming down his face.

Behind him, the lights in the cave flickered.

Professor Hu looked at the officer with bloodshot eyes, said nothing, and handed him a broken jade pendant.

There were only 8 official pieces of that jade pendant, and now it has broken into two pieces and its luster is gone.

The officer's hands were shaking constantly, and he looked up at the cave behind Professor Hu.

They were an elite team fully armed with guns and ammunition. How could they not make any noise?

It was not until then that a faint smell of blood began to emanate from the cave.

"Seal off the mountain and fill up the cave! Communicator, report to the higher-ups immediately. No one is allowed to approach the cave again!"

The officer gave orders loudly, with a hint of fear in his voice.

In the sky of Mount Emei, the originally accumulated black clouds suddenly turned blood red, and the waves of red light made the sky and the earth look evil.
