Becoming a Taoist Master by Walking on the Underworld

Chapter 133: Golden Strength, Completion of Foundation, Sense of Crisis

It was a thread-like substance with an extremely high energy level.

At least, it is much stronger than his strength.

He used common sense to control the filamentous substance and found that it could flow under his control just like the strength in his body.

Afterwards, he quickly practiced the Medicine King Locking Strength Technique.

sizzle...

As this filamentous substance was washed back and forth, Chen Yushu immediately felt clearly that the strength of his membrane was getting stronger.

The membrane, which had been trained to be extremely tough, comparable to cowhide, began to strengthen again.

"Golden thread of strength?"

Chen Yushu suddenly remembered a description of power he had seen in a book.

According to the description in the book, the golden thread of strength is a power that can only be created when a warrior's internal strength is full and has reached its peak.

This level of strength is, to a certain extent, comparable to internal force, but it is not internal force yet, but a type of strong force.

It is the best power for warriors to strengthen their bodies.

Among countless people, among tens of millions of people, only one or two warriors can be born in their bodies.

These people are either born with special physiques, such as martial bodies, divine bodies, or immortal bodies, or they have been nourished and irrigated with countless precious medicines and natural treasures since childhood, and their physiques have been invisibly improved to the extreme. Only then can they grow these golden threads of strength in their bodies.

“And I obviously don’t have a martial body, a divine body, or an immortal body… I haven’t been nourished by great medicines, precious medicines, or natural treasures since I was a child, so my foundation is not deep.

The only explanation for being able to achieve this is that the Medicine King Posture Meditation has reached a perfect level.

Posture training is the best way for a martial artist to lay the foundation.

For ordinary people, being able to practice standing meditation to a high level of success is already very good.

The perfect level of standing meditation?
Even if someone can really do it, it will inevitably require a long period of accumulation of three to five years or even more than ten years.

With this time, they would rather practice external and internal martial arts, so why would they pay too much attention to the most basic standing meditation?
As far as I know, once martial artists start to practice external martial arts, almost no one will practice standing meditation.

Naturally it is impossible to pile it up to perfection.

Because the cost is not worth the gain.”

Chen Yushu knew how difficult it was for an ordinary person to practice a martial art from entry level to perfection.

Just like Qian Qian, the most fundamental reason why he was able to practice Medicine King Posture to the level of great success was because he needed to teach the apprentices in the pharmacy to learn this Posture from time to time.

Coupled with his many years of experience in martial arts training, he was able to build up the Medicine King Posture to a high level of perfection.

But apart from teaching his apprentices, he practiced martial arts normally and never focused on the Medicine King Posture.

"The perfect-level Medicine King Posture Technique, combined with the great-level Medicine King Locking Strength Technique, locked up the surging strength, and only then did golden threads of strength grow in my body.

In the future, when my Medicine King Locking Strength Technique reaches perfection, my skin, flesh, tendons, and bones will be able to be improved accordingly and reach the extreme.

Only then will I have laid a solid foundation.

Now, the appearance of the golden thread of strength only allows my physical strength to be further enhanced. "

Chen Yushu thought silently in his heart and calmed down.

Whether it is practicing Taoism or martial arts, you have to take one step at a time.

He would not feel proud of a small progress.

Of course, the appearance of the powerful golden thread also made him feel a little relieved.

At least, he also knew that his path of cultivation was correct.

In terms of foundation, he has truly caught up with those children of wealthy families who have been nourished with powerful and precious medicines since childhood, and those 'real' geniuses who possess special physiques, such as martial body, immortal body, and divine body.

Then, Chen Yushu entered the study again and began to draw talismans.

"After such a long period of practice, the Ghost-Slaying Talisman and the Lightning-Attracting Talisman are finally about to reach the stage of great success."

Chen Yushu glanced at the attribute panel.

Ghost-killing Talisman: Minor Success (389/400)

Lightning Talisman: Minor Success (376/400)

The two kinds of talismans were his most commonly used talismans, and they were indeed very effective. They were extremely lethal to ghosts and spirits.

Now that it is about to be completed, he is also feeling a little excited.

Taking out a piece of animal skin talisman paper, Chen Yushu pressed down one corner with the Soul-Breaking Ruler before picking up the Judge's Pen.

This Judge's Pen is indeed a mid-grade magical weapon. With just a slight touch of the mental power, it immediately penetrated into it, smoothly and silkily, from the pen shaft to the pen tip.

Then he dipped the brush in talisman ink and began to paint.

What was drawn was naturally the ghost-killing talisman!
It is worth mentioning that the rune structure of the Ghost-Slaying Talisman at this time has been simplified a lot compared to the beginning. From the original complex and changeable, it has become simple and clear.

Just like traditional Chinese and simplified Chinese.

For words with the same meaning, simplified characters are not only easier to write but also more convenient to remember, and the meaning of the words will not deviate in the slightest.

The only difference is that the rune structure is essentially a 'text' description that is in harmony with heaven and earth.

The simplified and optimized rune structure is not only easier to draw, but also more closely fits with heaven and earth.

Therefore, the quality of the talismans drawn by Chen Yushu will also improve accordingly.

Soon, he successfully drew a talisman to kill ghosts.

hum!
Energy immediately dissipated between heaven and earth and poured into it.

“Finished talisman?

Not bad.”

Chen Yushu took a glance and was not surprised.

Even if it has improved the Ghost-Slaying Talisman to a minor level, not every one of them can be drawn into a mid-level talisman.

The probability is relatively low.

Basically, out of ten talismans, only one is a mid-quality talisman, and then there are three or four finished talismans, and five or six ordinary talismans.

The first finished talisman, which is a low-grade talisman, is already pretty good.

Ghost-killing Talisman +2
Seeing this, Chen Yushu was not surprised.

At this time, he also found that his experience in drawing talismans had become relatively stable.

Most ordinary talismans only increase one experience point, finished talismans increase two points, and mid-quality talismans increase four points.

A finished talisman increases two points of talisman drawing experience, which is already quite good.

"continue!"

Then, Chen Yushu continued to draw talismans without stopping.

One piece, two pieces, three pieces...

Finished Talisman, Ordinary Talisman, Ordinary Talisman, Finished Talisman, Medium Talisman...

When the intermediate-grade talisman appeared, Chen Yushu's eyes lit up, and he immediately collected it and put it into the storage bag.

He would deliberately collect talismans of medium quality or above and keep them for his own use.

Soon, a finished talisman was formed.

Chen Yushu's heart moved, and countless experiences and insights about drawing the Ghost-Slaying Talisman emerged in his mind. In a short period of time, it seemed as if he had been immersed in the Ghost-Slaying Talisman for more than ten years, and he had gained countless insights.

Then, with all these insights gathered, he began to optimize and adjust the entire talisman.

The rune structure began to become simpler, and its fit with the great Dao of heaven and earth became closer.

The rune structures are like the manifestation of the great way, the imprint of the rules.
However, its power has not weakened at all. On the contrary, due to the changes in the rune structure, the connection between heaven and earth has become closer.

“The Ghost-Slaying Talisman is complete.

In other words, from now on, I can not only draw mid-grade ghost-killing talismans, but also high-grade ghost-killing talismans.

Its power must be stronger, and it will have a greater killing power against ghosts."

Chen Yushu was suddenly overjoyed.

“And, it’s not over yet.

In addition to the Great Mastery of the Ghost-Slaying Talisman.

My experience in making talismans also reached its peak.

From the entry level, it has been upgraded to the proficient level. "

Then, Chen Yushu reacted quickly.

His own talisman-making level has also improved.

Originally, it was the introduction (92/100).

This was because he had previously upgraded the Light Body Talisman, the Soul Attracting Talisman, the Golden Armor Talisman, the Ice Arrow Talisman, and the Weapon Armor Talisman to the minor success stage.

And now, he upgraded the Ghost-Slaying Talisman from minor to major, which increased his talisman-making experience by eight points at one time.

All of a sudden, the talisman-making skill was completed and reached the level of (100/100).

Naturally, this skill was promoted to the mastery level.

It was at this moment that Chen Yushu suddenly felt that he had countless insights and insights into the art of talisman making. All kinds of skills and information related to talisman making seemed to pour into his mind out of thin air.

This gave him great confidence and courage when drawing any talismans in the future.

For the same talisman, even if it is a new talisman he has mastered, he can learn it faster and get started faster.

“Mastery of talisman making.

It is an improvement for me in all aspects.

It doesn't just work on a certain talisman.

But all the talismans!"

A gleam of light suddenly flashed in Chen Yushu's eyes.

He knew all too well the difficulties he encountered when he first started drawing talismans.

Even if he raised his state of meditation to the level of normal meditation, he could learn and master various talismans more quickly.

But this speed is relative.

Just like when he drew the Armor Talisman before, even though its rune structure consisted of as many as thirty-eight runes, it took him more than a dozen attempts to finally succeed just to get started.

But now.

Although the talisman had the same thirty-eight rune structures, he was confident that he could shorten the time to learn how to draw it by half.

Efficiency doubled.

“This is the mastery of drawing talismans.

What has been improved is not only the talismans that I have mastered now.

There are also many talismans that I have not yet mastered.”

An obvious look of joy immediately appeared on Chen Yushu's face.

His eyes quickly scanned the attribute panel.

Ghost Slaying Talisman: Great Mastery (1/800)

Talisman Making: Mastery (1/200)

Satisfied.

Chen Yushu quickly began to draw the lightning-inducing talisman.

One piece, two pieces, three pieces...

“The lightning-attracting talisman is also complete.

Moreover, through this experience of drawing talismans, I discovered that after I became proficient in talisman-making, the probability of me drawing finished talismans or mid-quality talismans actually increased greatly.

Of the original ten talismans, only one was of medium quality at best.

Now, I have only drawn eight, but I already have two medium-quality talismans.

Moreover, even the number of finished talismans exceeded that of ordinary talismans for the first time.

Among the remaining six talismans, four are finished talismans.

There are only two ordinary talismans..."

He was naturally aware of such changes, which were due to the fact that his experience in talisman making had been improved from the entry level to the mastery level.

This was truly a surprise to him.

As a result, he became very interested and began to draw other talismans quickly.

It was not until late at night that he stopped and took out a book from his storage bag.

"Detailed Explanation of the Formation"!
During this period, he would spend some time every day reading this book.

The knowledge recorded therein was not only complex but also rich, especially the changes derived from the corresponding formations, which were complex and varied. Even with his talent, it took some effort to understand them.

Reading +5
Reading +7
Reading +6
……

And as he continued to study and understand.

His reading experience also improved rapidly. After an hour, he couldn't help but stop.

At this moment, he only felt dizzy and a lack of mental energy. These were symptoms caused by excessive consumption of mental energy.

You know, the White Tiger Visualization Method was automatically running in his body, which means that his mental strength could be replenished from time to time.

Yet it still caused such an impact. One can imagine how difficult it is to explain this formation in detail.

However, Chen Yushu also gained a lot.

Not only did my reading experience improve by thirty or forty points.

His own understanding of the changes in various formations also reached a new level.

Perhaps, he is still not as good as the many powerful formation masters who have been immersed in this art for decades, but he can be considered to have mastered this art for the time being.

If he came to Qiu Heshan again, he was confident that he could break the formation more easily.

even.

Able to change the formation.

You are not allowed to go down directly. Change the Yin Sha Ju Yin Formation into the Chi Yang Formation directly.

As long as the sun rises during the day, the scorching true yang energy will flow into the tomb.

Not to mention that those evil zombies would not be able to bear it and would be baked into slag, even the corpse demon would not be able to sit still and would actively crawl out of the sarcophagus.

One's strength will instantly decline from 100% to 50% or 30%.

“Unfortunately, this book is too short.

I estimate that in two days, I will be able to finish watching all of them.

It will not be so easy to improve your reading experience so quickly. "

Chen Yushu naturally attaches great importance to reading skills.

Not only can it actually increase one's knowledge and experience, it is also closely related to one's state of meditation.

Now, he has truly experienced the power of Chang Ding's state of meditation, and naturally he is looking forward to the corresponding improvement in the level of meditation after his reading level is elevated to the next level.

“Unfortunately, Jianghuan Town is still too small.

The corresponding books on formations are also relatively hard to find.

Otherwise, I could collect a lot of books and steadily improve my reading experience.”

Chen Yushu thought about it in his mind and glanced at the attribute panel.

Reading: True Feelings (189/1600)

I sigh again that I will not be able to reach the sixth level of study in the short term.

Chen Yushu then returned to the room.

First, practice the White Tiger Visualization Method to restore your mental strength.

Then, he flipped his hand and took out a crystal object from the storage bag.

It is the spirit of evil.

This evil spirit essence is relatively small and comes from an evil zombie.

And in his storage bag, there was another one, which was more than twice the size of this one and of higher quality. It was the thing formed by the corpse demon.

“The evil spirit’s essence can be used to break through to the Dao.

But its function is essentially not much different from that of the soul bead.

It's just spiritual particles, more abundant and pure.

Of course, the corresponding negative emotions of evil, chaos, bloodthirstiness, and madness are also more intense and powerful.

Once absorbed, it is very easy to be affected by it.”

Chen Yushu whispered, but controlled his mental power without hesitation, connected with it, and then the mental power flowed, and he inhaled slightly.

sizzle...

All of a sudden, an extremely pure spiritual particle was drawn out and absorbed into his body.

At the same time, countless negative emotions immediately arose in his heart, affecting him all the time, as if trying to get him out of a certain state.

However, Chen Yushu had anticipated this and was determined.

In a normal state of calm, his mental strength was extremely stable, and in just an instant, all kinds of negative emotions were swept away.

Then he quickly absorbed and transformed the spiritual particles he absorbed.

One breath, two breaths, three breaths...

At the same time, the speed of the White Tiger Visualization Method also increases.

All of a sudden, his spiritual practice and influence increased rapidly.

After a strand of spiritual particles was absorbed by him, Chen Yushu hurriedly pulled out another strand.

Then the third ray, the fourth ray...

Incense +1
Incense +1
Chen Yushu knew it a long time ago.

In fact, my biggest weakness now is no longer the various techniques and moves.

But it's the practice of incense and Taoism.

For a beginner, the practice of two incense sticks is actually not weak.

But Chen Yushu's situation is different after all.

As time went by, the strength of the beings he encountered and faced increased exponentially.

For example, the death at the beginning.

In terms of power level, it is at best at the level of a demon. It is just more difficult to deal with because it has a physical body.

Next, it’s the evil spirit.

Then, it transforms into an evil ghost, a ghost lady, an evil zombie, and a corpse monster.

And then recently.

Although I didn't really encounter it.

But what appeared was already of the evil level.

Such as Mr. Zuo.

For example, Grandma Jiang.

In addition, the one favored by God is also at this level to some extent.

At the very least, it is an entry-level existence.

Crisis exists at all times.

He also never thought that his safety at this moment meant he would always be safe.

The calmer the weather.

The more careful he is, the more he needs to accumulate strength and improve himself.

Incense +1
Thinking of this, Chen Yushu once again increased the amount of spiritual particles he absorbed from the evil spirit's essence.

He didn't stop until he had absorbed a smaller amount of the evil spirit in his hand.

“This time, I directly absorbed about 30% of the spiritual particles of the evil spirit’s essence.

That is to say, if I can do it two more times, I will be able to completely absorb this evil spirit."

Chen Yushu glanced at the evil spirit and a hint of satisfaction appeared on his face.

This speed is really not slow anymore.

This is because the negative emotions contained in the evil spirit's essence are too strong.

Any cultivator who absorbs it will be affected by it.

That is to say, his state of enlightenment has reached a stable level.

As long as it is a period of great stability, it is extremely difficult to get rid of this influence.

At the very least, the efficiency will be greatly reduced, and after absorbing a strand, it often takes a period of time to "adapt" and "digest" before continuing.

Otherwise, there will be the effects of "going astray" and "severe changes in one's mind and character".

If you can absorb 10% of the evil spirits' essence in one day, that's considered pretty good.

Not to mention 30% of them.

"30% of the evil spirit essence also directly increased my incense and Taoism by ten points."

Then, Chen Yushu took a look at the attribute panel.

Immortal cultivation: two incense sticks (72/100)

Originally, it was only 62 experience points.

But it only took one hour of absorption and transformation, and it directly increased by ten points, which is quite fast.

"At this rate, it will only take two to three days for my cultivation to reach the two-stick-of-incense state, and then I can start striving for the three-stick-of-incense state."

A gleam of light flashed in Chen Yushu's eyes.

Three incense sticks!
It is the last realm before entering the Tao.

It usually takes more than ten years of hard training for an average person to have a chance of reaching the three incense sticks level.

In fact, most of the people who are in the state of meditation are only at the small level of meditation. If there is no special opportunity, it often takes 20 to 30 years for them to enter the level of three incense sticks.

And he.

Just a few months.

When he counted them up carefully, he was indeed a little surprised.

the next day.

When Chen Yushu arrived at the pharmacy.

The assessment has officially begun.

Chen Yushu watched from the side for a while and found that Wang Kui was indeed the most outstanding among the apprentices who made medicine.

But his strength is only in identifying medicinal materials and controlling the fire power for decocting medicine.

On the contrary, in terms of martial arts, Lu Yuan and Xu San are stronger.

Finally, after discussion between Liu Hexuan, Liu Xiang, and Chen Yushu's master Su Ming, the first place was awarded to apprentice Lu Yuan.

Because Lu Yuan not only has the strongest martial arts among the other apprentices of decocting medicine, but he is also not much weaker than Wang Kui in decocting and identifying medicines.

As everyone knows, what Liu's pharmacy values most is martial arts.

Therefore, Wang Kui missed the first place.

Even the second place was taken by Xu San.

His martial arts were also better than Wang Kui's, especially a set of boxing techniques called Liuhequan. His fists were as powerful as a spear or a dragon, with an unstoppable momentum.

He is even more valued by Liu Hexuan.

“I originally thought that Wang Kui was very strong.

Out of jealousy and fear that I had snatched the first place from him in the assessment, he plotted against me.

Is this the result? "

Seeing this, Chen Yushu couldn't help but shake his head.

of course.

In addition to the medicine-decocting apprentices, this assessment also includes ordinary apprentices and medical apprentices.

However, Chen Yushu no longer had much interest in those assessments, so he quietly found a place and began to practice martial arts.

Then after dinner, he went straight back to his yard and started taking pills and practicing martial arts.

Before, Liu Hexuan had warned him to take a Peiyuan Pill every three days.

But Chen Yushu felt his body's tolerance and decided to take one pill every day.

Although, it will inevitably cause the pills to be consumed quickly.

But it can also allow his strength to improve at a faster rate.

He can naturally tell what is important and what is not.

Of course, in addition to practicing martial arts, Chen Yushu would naturally not give up practicing various techniques.

The Fu Yin Jue, Hua Sha Jue, Qi Xing Bu, Wang Qi Jue, Yin Xiang Jue, Shen Lin Jue, Dian Yin Jian...

Just when he was practicing hard.

Boom boom boom!
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.

somebody is coming?
