Chapter 74: The Divine Acupoint Opens, Killing the Evil Blade! (1600 votes plus more)
Now that you have decided to go out, you naturally need to prepare for it.

The most urgent task is to improve your own strength.

After the previous battle, Ren Yuan knew that his strength was shallow. Although he got two magic weapons from Xie Gui, external things were not reliable. What was truly reliable was always one's own strength.

Only by improving your own strength can you use magic weapons with greater power.

So Ren Yuan decided to immediately take the Yu Shu Dan that he also got from Xie Gui.

This time, he chose to take the elixir in a temple.

First, he still had a lingering fear from the painful experience of taking Tianmu ointment last time. He heard from his senior sister that the pain of taking Yushudan was far more painful than Tianmu ointment, and it would be safer with his senior sister by his side to protect him.

Second, there is a big black zombie trapped on the Dream Boat. With Ren Yuan’s current strength, he really has no way to deal with it.

~~
In the main room.

After meditating and regulating his breathing to adjust his energy and spirit to the best state, Ren Yuan opened the porcelain bottle under the gaze of his senior sister and poured out the green Yu Shu Dan.

This thing looks very domineering at first glance.

Ren Yuan didn't hesitate at all, he just tilted his neck and put it into his mouth, then he was ready...

The effect of the medicine quickly spread throughout the body, and Ren Yuan felt as if his meridians were being washed by boiling water, with waves of excruciating pain in his bones. Even though he was extremely determined, he soon broke out in sweat and was on the verge of collapse.

At this time, the voice of the elder sister rang in my ears——

"The Yiqiao is also called the Yuzhenguan, located behind the brain, and is also called the Iron Wall. It leads to the palace of the primordial spirit and is the path to heaven. This orifice is small and difficult to open, and is guarded by the Yin spirit. When the true spirit reaches this orifice, it is often blocked. If the soul is biased and the essence is impure, not only will it be unable to break through the gate, but it may also go astray and become possessed by demons. This is a spiritual barrier."

"To open this orifice, you must gather fire from the divine furnace, and then rush forward. The Neihuang dragon will roll up and rush the Xiangjiang River water, and then you can break through the barrier!"

Ren Yuan followed the instructions of his senior sister, pressed his tongue against the roof of his mouth, looked at the top of his head, operated the Creation Furnace to its limit, mobilized his spiritual energy, and continuously impacted the Jade Pillow Pass.

He felt like a general, commanding his men to attack a strategic pass. The city was heavily guarded, arrows rained down, and rocks and logs fell, causing heavy casualties among his soldiers.

But he did not waver at all, and continued to increase his troops, driving his soldiers to attack the city like ants. Of course, he did not act recklessly, but concentrated his superior forces to attack the enemy's weaknesses.

But the enemy was no pushover. The moment his men reached the top of the city walls, reinforcements would arrive and drive the siege troops off the city walls.

The two sides fought back and forth in the narrow iron wall Yuzhen Pass, fighting to the death, and the shouts of killing resounded throughout the world...

After a fierce battle until dusk, Ren Yuan's troops finally gained a foothold on the city wall, completely securing victory. Soon, the defenders were defeated, abandoned their weapons and fled back to the Yuanshen Palace.

The soldiers on the city wall were celebrating their victory with great enthusiasm, and Ren Yuan couldn't help but smile.

When he opened his eyes, he found that the pain in his body was gone completely, and he looked at his senior sister in surprise.

The elder sister smiled and clasped her fists and said, "Congratulations, you have finally gained spiritual enlightenment."

"The pain this time is much lighter than last time." Ren Yuan said with some surprise.

"Because you used our sect's skills to assist you." The elder sister said proudly, "How can our sect's skills be useless?"

"Then why didn't you tell me that you got it last time, senior sister?" Ren Yuan asked puzzled.

“Well…” Senior Sister said embarrassedly, “When I opened my third eye, Master said that I had an extraordinary physique and could easily get through it, so he was too lazy to teach me. Later, when I opened my mind, he said that I was too stupid, and if he didn’t teach me how to get through it, I would definitely go astray.”

"What a great way of teaching students in accordance with their aptitude." Ren Yuan didn't know whether he should complain or praise the master he had never met.

"But Senior Sister, why don't I feel any supernatural powers?" He looked inward again and asked puzzled.

"The purpose of opening the orifices is to increase your own upper limit, not for those magical powers." The elder sister replied: "However, opening the orifices does have magical powers - it can allow your Yin spirit to leave the body." "Oh, just like the time at Mr. Liu's house." Ren Yuan suddenly realized: "That was indeed magical."

"The magical benefits of the Yin Spirit leaving the body are more than these. It can freely enter and exit various places. It allows people to travel through the universe while sitting indoors. It can also see deeper and more clearly than the Third Eye, and perceive things that have never been discovered before." The elder sister first talked about the benefits of opening the spirit orifice, and then warned in a serious tone:

"But the Yin Spirit is not the Yang Spirit after all. It is just a fragile spirit. A gust of wind can seriously injure it. Moreover, there are demons and villains who specialize in capturing Yin Spirits for food. Therefore, unless it is absolutely safe, you must not leave your body casually, let alone travel around the world. Otherwise, it is easy to get into trouble!"

After thinking for a while, the senior sister added: "There is another point. The Yin Spirit is actually your consciousness, so your thoughts will be spoken out by the Yin Spirit if you are not careful."

"I'll remember that, Senior Sister." Ren Yuan nodded. He saw that Senior Sister's face was getting paler and paler, so he asked with concern, "Is it time to eat blood?"

"Yes." Senior Sister nodded and forced a smile, "I'm going out to relax."

"No need, I've already prepared it for you." Ren Yuan shouted outside, "Third Master, kill the chicken!"

"Okay!" Uncle Hu San responded, and soon brought in a bowl of chicken blood, saying with a smile: "Chicken blood soup is here. Drinking chicken blood soup is such a good thing."

"Oh, Third Master also likes to drink?" Ren Yuan asked with a smile.

"Of course. Our whole family drinks the blood before eating chicken. It's so delicious!" Uncle Hu brought the chicken blood to A Yao, swallowed his saliva, and acted like he was very greedy.

Ah Yao knew that they were trying to comfort him. Although his face had lost all color, he still managed to force a smile and said, "Okay, I'll drink it."

After taking the bowl, she still didn't have the courage to drink it in front of Ren Yuan.

"Wenli, let's go to the yard and try out the knife." Ren Yuan understood and got up and went out.

The civet cat jumped onto his head and Uncle Hu followed it out to avoid embarrassing A Yao.

After coming out, Ren Yuan let out a short breath and felt really uncomfortable.

Wen Li did the same, gritting her teeth and saying, "Yuan, this revenge must be avenged!"

"Of course!" Ren Yuan nodded heavily and said, "And Tian Liangzi, the revenge of Liu Zhongjun and the villagers will be avenged sooner or later!"

Although he knew very well that there was a huge gap between his strength and that of his enemy, Ren Yuan firmly believed that

Sooner or later, he will chop off the dog head of the main messenger with his own hands!
As soon as he thought of this, Ren Yuan felt his blood boiling and shouted, "Bring the knife!"

There is no need for the Five Ghosts to carry the talisman, the demon-slaying sword will fly steadily into his hands!
Telekinesis is one of the supernatural powers gained after the spiritual orifice is opened.

Ren Yuan mobilized his true spiritual power, infused it into the blade, and began to practice the Five Tiger Sword Technique that Tian Liangzi had taught him in the courtyard.

Although it was just simple 'chop, stab, intercept, block, smash, chop, wipe, and entangle', but Ren Yuan, who had already opened his spiritual power, practiced it with strength, speed, and imposingness. Each move was accompanied by the sound of a tiger's roar, just like a tiger descending from the mountain!
As the moves unfolded, Ren Yuan became more and more familiar with the knife in his hand, and felt that it was extremely handy, like a tiger with wings. He also learned from Xie Gui and poured his true energy into the handle of the knife. Although he could not stimulate that powerful blood-red blade light, he could still emit a very sharp colorless blade energy.

When he was in high spirits, he used his knife energy to write on the white wall:

'Where there is a will there is a way, burn your boats and cross the river, the 120 Qin passes finally belong to Chu;
Heaven will not fail those who work hard, sleeping on straw and tasting gall, 3,000 Yue soldiers can conquer Wu!

The last move was to knock the mountain and scare the tiger, and a blood-red sword energy was chopped out, hitting the stone pillar in the courtyard.

The stone pillar was split into two halves like tofu!

"Good sword, it's mine." Ren Yuan nodded with satisfaction, stroking the cold blade with his fingers and said, "But the name 'Zhan Yao' is not good. From now on, this sword will be called 'Zhan Xie'! Kill evil and slay evil, regardless of whether it's human or demon!"
