After 100 years of leatherworking, I have become a giant in the magic sect.

Chapter 43. A natural outcome, practicing the ninth level of Xuan

There is little Xuan Qi in Shu, and even less Xuan Qi around Tianyun City. However, the "Snake Corpse Market" is just like an oasis in the desert of Xuan Qi.

Song Yan's breakthrough only took a few breaths. Naturally, after leaving the city gate, he quickly stopped behind an old tree hidden nearby and focused his attention on the "【gongfa】".

'Invest 10 years of your life to practice the "Mysterious Energy Guiding Technique" by forging the Zangdan.'

Life span suddenly began to change.

[You spent ten years of your life practicing the Mysterious Qi Guiding Technique. In the first year, you carefully digested the power of the Jian Zang Pill, but this pill seemed to have been there for a long time. At first, the effect was barely viable, but soon it showed signs of insufficient power. You continued to practice, and in the third year, you made a mistake, your lungs exploded, and you died, returning ten years of your life.]

Song Yan:.
'continue. ’

[You invested ten years of your life, and your heart exploded.]

[Your liver exploded]

[Your liver exploded again.]

Song Yan:.
'continue. ’

This is the benefit of the deduction system.

After so many deductions, Song Yan had a general understanding of the system.

This system is like locking you up in a "closed small dark room" which only contains the "surrounding environment", "mysterious energy in the environment" and "pills that can help you break through", and nothing else.

If you want to reach the top by relying on only one skill or just thinking about it, it is tantamount to "locking you in an empty little room and asking you to make a nuclear bomb out of thin air". Before crossing, the humans on Blue Star relied on external objects, accumulation, and research to make nuclear bombs, but. This was influenced by various factors such as the collision of knowledge and historical opportunities. It is not possible to create something out of nothing. The same is true for the way of cultivating the mysterious.

However, this system also has a hidden benefit, which is, "No matter how many times you fail, it will return your lifespan and resources, allowing you to start over."

For example, right now, the chance that this stale Jianzang Pill could "assist in breaking through the seventh level of Lianxuan" was really pitifully small.

If the medicine is not strong enough, it will lead to insufficient "protection of the internal organs".

When absorbing the mysterious energy, if you are not careful and use too much force, it will cause "internal organs to explode".

In just over ten breaths, Song Yan had failed in his "deduction" more than ten times.

However, for him, this was just a repetition.

In a blink of an eye, there were several more failures.

at last
[You have invested ten years of your life in practicing the "Xuan Qi Guiding Technique". In the first year, you carefully digested the power of the internal organs forging pill. Although this pill is old and the medicinal power is insufficient, your luck is very good. You successfully guided the Xuan Qi to initially cover the five internal organs. In the tenth year, you absorbed 150 strands of Xuan Qi. You feel that the remaining work is accumulation.]

[In the sixty-seventh year, thousands of strands of Xuan Qi merged into your five internal organs, and you broke through the seventh level of Xuan training. Your entire body, even the hairs and fingertips, are filled with Xuan Qi. To ordinary people, you are already invulnerable to swords and guns, and immune to water and fire.]

[You have invested ten years of your life to continue practicing the "Xuan Qi Guiding Technique", but your body is already full of Xuan Qi, and you have not made any progress. But you are not in vain, you begin to realize that practicing the eighth level of Xuan Qi may be a process of further controlling the Xuan Qi around your body]

[You have devoted ten years to enlightenment and gained nothing]

[You spent ten years in meditation, and then you started to try random things. In the third year, you became possessed and died, and ten years of your life were returned.]

【you are dead】

【You died again.】

Song Yan came back to his senses. Since this step had nothing to do with Xuan Qi, he decided to go back to Tianyun City and try again.

The impact of the environment is really huge. Near the Puppet Sect, it takes him 334 years to advance one level, but in this city it only takes 67 years.

However, these are all the situations when he has not taken the elixir. If he takes the elixir, plus the black jade, the scattered resources of the furnace, and chooses a place with evil spirit, it will definitely be much faster.

Time flies and four months have passed.

In midsummer, cicadas are chirping incessantly.

In Tianyun City, ten steps away from a luxurious sedan chair, a man in blue was being pinned to the ground by a long sword, blood gushing out, staining his back red.

But the man looked at the sedan chair in the distance with hatred and shouted, "Hua Linglong, pay for the lives of the thirteen members of my Zhang family!"

Black Sparrow, one of the "Four Sparrows", twisted his sword, and the man's body twitched, and then he became motionless.

Black Sparrow observed for a moment, then quickly approached the sedan chair and said, "Master, it should be someone from the Zhang family of the Guzhu Gang. At that time, the Dharma Protector Situ wanted to kill a chicken to scare the monkeys, so as to quickly get the Guzhu Gang..."

"No need to say more. The grudges in the martial arts world are what they are. Let's bury them. There's no need to stir up new grudges."

After Hua Linglong finished speaking, she lowered the curtain, looked at the man opposite her, and said, "Hua Rong, I feel like I can't see through you any more. You've changed so much in the past few months."

Song Yan looked at the bloody corpse being dragged away outside the gap in the curtain, retracted his gaze, and said: "It's nothing, I just have a deeper understanding of martial arts."

This “one point” is from the seventh level of practicing Xuan to the ninth level of practicing Xuan.

That's right, after practicing the seventh level of Xuan, Xuan Qi permeates the body. The next two levels actually require no external objects, but rely purely on practice.

Or maybe it requires external objects, but anyway, Song Yan broke through these two realms by himself in a daze.

Practice Xuan nine levels.

On the first level, hundreds of strands of mysterious energy flow, penetrating the main meridians and warming the body.

On the second level, all ten meridians are open.

The third layer is attached to the skin.

At the fourth level, the mysterious energy penetrates into the bone marrow, making the Qi and blood rich, so one can control evil things such as “puppets, shadow puppets, paper figures”, etc.

Fifth floor, blood transfusion.

Sixth floor, another blood exchange.

The seventh layer enters the internal organs.

The eight layers of mysterious energy gather around the body and take shape as the mind desires, like a dragon, circling around the body. The meridians in the body expand and the Dantian gradually opens.

Nine layers of profound energy converge in the Dantian. The Dantian becomes the sea. A flood rises and the dragon follows the tide into the vast sea. There is no more hindrance in the body.

The eighth level, Song Yan spent a full fifty years deducing, and after failing again and again, he finally found the method to converge, and then spent two years to succeed.

For others, this step requires skills, practice and comprehension, and also requires external help to avoid going astray and causing confusion in the mysterious energy.

For the ninth level, Song Yan spent another fifty years to deduce. After finding a method, he quietly went to the "Snake Corpse Market" and spent 667 years in one breath to fill up his dantian. Then he spent 2 years to successfully merge the mysterious energy in his body into his dantian.

Practice the nine levels of Xuan in this way and reach the top.

After reaching the top, Song Yan also had a slight sense of his many magic spells.

In general, all spells became stronger as his realm improved.

Not only that, what is even more outrageous is that almost all the spells were upgraded to the level of "Lian Xuan Nine Layers" all at once, and they did not seem to be unable to keep up with the realm because their "initial cultivation threshold was only Lian Xuan Three or Four Layers".

The "Hundred-Aspect Demon Body" also becomes stronger after swallowing shadow puppets, but the number and strength of the shadow puppets that can be swallowed have increased a lot. Unfortunately, Song Yan only has "nine kinds of low-level monster shadow puppets" in his pocket. Obviously, he can't exert the full power of the "Hundred-Aspect Demon Body" at all.

Spells that have undergone second perfect mutation, such as "Painted Skin Deformation Technique", "Ten Fingers Phantom Skin Technique", "Ghost Resurrection Technique", "Evil Tide Technique", "Evil Condensation and Control Technique", and "Heavy Rain Evil Technique", have all become stronger.

There is no change in "Five Elements Hands".

However, the casting of various spells also brings many new changes in details.

For example, the "Art of Condensing Evil and Controlling the Mysterious" spell is a variation of the most basic "Art of Gathering Qi", and the "Qi" in the "Art of Gathering Qi" is actually just the Qi of "one lineage".

This resulted in the purpose of the "Qi Gathering Technique" not being high, so when Song Yan's realm was low, he could instantly use the "Evil Condensing and Mysterious Control Technique" to hide his breath, but now... he needed to spend a little more than an incense stick of time in advance to gather all the mysterious energy in his body.

But even so, it is still much worse in concealment than before. After all, it is pure dreaming for you to absorb so much mysterious energy and hide it completely by simply absorbing the evil energy.

Therefore, the power of "The Mystical Art of Condensing Evil" has become greater, but the "pre-casting time" has increased greatly, and the "concealment" has dropped significantly.

The same problem also exists in "Heavy Rain".

If the past "Heavy Rain" is about shooting.
Now the game "Heavy Rain" is "Charge, Laser".

Similarly, the power becomes stronger, but the "casting time" also becomes longer.

As for the "Painted Skin Deformation Technique", "Ten-Finger Phantom Skin Technique", and "Ghost Resurrection Technique", these are purely for strengthening.
For example, Song Yan can swallow the soul of a being at a stronger level, contaminate it with evil spirit, and then spit it out.

For example, the shadow puppets that can be manipulated with ten fingers have also been improved, and even normal high-level monster shadow puppets can be manipulated.

Song Yan carefully felt the changes brought about by the improvement of his realm.

Because of that initial investment, he was now in a place where all his identities were safe.

Therefore, his realm breakthrough and spell test went incredibly smoothly. He did not encounter any enemies, nor was he inexplicably targeted by anyone. As a result, he managed to break through in a desperate situation.

After glancing at "【Lifespan: 25/1817】", Song Yan thought about it carefully again and decided that he should go to the "Snake Corpse Market" to buy a spell that is "higher level than the "Qi Gathering Technique"". Then use the remaining lifespan to perform a mutation deduction. This way, he could ensure that if he needs to return to the Puppet Sect, no one would notice this power that "needs to be dissected and studied".

The "Snake Corpse Market" opened the "Demon Swamp Restriction" a month ago. According to Dan Lazi, the middle-aged casual cultivator who sold him the "Forging Dirty Pill", "one month" is exactly how long the "Demon Swamp" is open.

If he goes there again in the next few days, he will definitely see a lot of new goods.

Likewise, he could verify the mortality rate of the "Demon Swamp" and see how many people had died.
