Republic of China Era: Entering the Dao through Divine Strike.

This is the effect of increasing the spirit attribute by 2 points in a short moment, directly breaking through the shackles to reach 40 points.

The sea of ​​consciousness undergoes a revolutionary transformation.

With a vast and clear mind, thoughts operate at lightning speed, and the range of perception expands several times over.

At this moment, he has completely broken free from the shackles of the mortal mind.

Their abilities to understand, comprehend, and deduce have all been enhanced.

A hint of arrogance even arose in his heart, as if everything in the world could be dissected and deduced.

But this is just a temporary illusion caused by the sudden increase in attributes and the rapid rise in realm.

Li Xin instantly suppressed his restless and delusional thoughts and forcibly calmed his mind.

Deep within the palace, the old monk Wuchang's imposing aura still lingered, unfathomable.

Outside the capital, the foreign-built spires of the churches harbored a vast power that he feared and dared not approach.

In this chaotic world, surrounded by powerful enemies and fraught with danger, we are far from being able to act recklessly and arrogantly.

Li Xin looked at his remaining power again; there was 20.8 left.

Without further hesitation, he continued adding points in one go.

All five attribute points are allocated to agility.

In an instant, my limbs and bones felt light and free, as if my body had broken free from the constraints of gravity, and I felt like I was floating on air.

It's still just a temporary illusion brought about by the surge in attributes. With a little adaptation, this surge in physical advantages can be completely turned into real combat power.

Prioritize mental focus before agility; this is to maximize the efficiency of your practice.

He has been taking Dayangyuan Decoction for a long time, and its medicinal properties are still very strong and effective, providing significant nourishment to his body.

Without needing to add points of faith, one can steadily improve their physique by simply relying on daily herbal medicine and rigorous physical training over ten days.

At this rate, no golden faith power is needed; only sufficient medicinal materials are required.

Within a month and a half, one's physical condition can naturally break through the 40-point mark.

The only things that are difficult to accumulate through slow, arduous practice with medicine are spiritual energy and agility; they can only be forcibly broken through by relying on faith.

All the confidence and power he gained from winning the martial arts exam and parading through the nine gates were completely exhausted at this point.

Li Xin focused his mind and, with a thought, brought up the complete attribute panel.

Name: Li Xin

Age: 12/120

[Constitution: 34.9] Talents: (Critical Hit, Energy Regeneration)

[Agility: 38.6] Talents: (Lightness, Quick Hands)

[Spirit: 40.9] Talents: (Psychic, Mysticism, Inner Vision)

[Martial Arts: Divine Strike. Exclusive Guardian General (Nezha, the Third Prince, Divine Intent Level 14%, Secret Techniques: Three Heads and Six Arms, Permanent Void Reflection, Secret Techniques: Swift Wind and Fire)]

(Erlang Zhenjun, Divine Intent Level 2, 5%, Secret Techniques: Eight-Nine Transformations, Ruyi True Body Permanent Residence. Secret Technique: Heavenly Eye.)

(The Great Sage Equal to Heaven, Divine Will Level 2, 3%, Secret Technique: Floating Clouds Obscuring the Moon, Illusory Flowing Light Perpetually, Secret Technique: Thousand Pounds)

The embryonic form of the true essence of Taoist arts: the character "生" (life/birth).

Taoist Restriction: [Sharpness] Level 1

[Confidence: 0.8]

Faith arises from love, and the mind is boundless.

After scanning the entire panel of data, Li Xin's gaze finally settled on the new talent unlocked in his mental attribute.

Internal inspection.

This is the most basic and standard cultivation ability in all martial arts and immortal cultivation classics, as if every cultivator possesses it.

Li Xin, who had been deeply involved in martial arts for a long time, was very clear that most of the common knowledge that people knew was just empty talk and fallacy.

The human body has a precise and complex structure, with layers of muscles, bones, meridians, and internal organs intertwined, making it mysterious and unpredictable.

Ordinary martial artists, throughout their entire lives, can at most sense the blood and qi on the surface of the body and local pain and itching.

It is impossible to see the whole picture inside the body.

Whether it's external physical training or internal strength cultivation, orthodox practice never relies on "visual observation".

It all depends on mental contemplation and years of practice.

Repeated curing.

He mentally imagined the penetrating force of the fist, pondered it every day, and practiced it diligently every time.

Over time, the force will indeed be able to penetrate armor and pierce the body.

This is the process of shaping strength with intention and controlling qi with mind and spirit.

It may seem ethereal, but it is undeniably effective.

But at this moment, the [Inner Vision] unlocked with a mental threshold of forty points completely shattered this mortal constraint.

He was able to clearly see his own insides and look directly into his internal organs.

It allows the flow of Qi throughout the body's meridians, enabling one to truly see the subtle trajectory of every strand of Qi and blood circulation.

This talent came at just the right time, and it is exactly the trump card he urgently needs to break through at present.

Destruction precedes construction; internal strength transforms into true energy, making every step extremely perilous.

If one is not careful, the meridians will break and the qi and blood will be depleted.

At best, one's cultivation will be completely destroyed; at worst, one's foundation will be damaged and one's physical body will be severely injured.

With the aid of internal vision, he can precisely control the flow of every bit of internal energy, and avoid the vital points of the meridians to accurately complete the transformation of energy.

This minimizes the risk of a breakthrough.

Li Xin closed his eyes, recalling what his master Cheng Yuanhua had said in the past.

Back then, Grandmaster Dong was stuck at the hurdle of transforming internal energy into true essence.

In order to break through the upper limit of mortal martial arts and to condense his Qi and form his core, he resolutely went into seclusion for a life-threatening retreat.

That hurdle was a matter of life or death...

Without anyone to guide you or provide support, success or failure depends entirely on your own luck and destiny.

The master did not elaborate on the final outcome.

This step is said to be the watershed between mortal martial arts and true cultivation; crossing it allows one to transcend the mundane.

He added that he himself wouldn't dare to try because the chances were too slim.

However, Li Xin's rate of improvement and his natural talent and comprehension are promising.

Now, Li Xin has finally reached this point as well.

Now, he has the foundation of dragon vein fortune, the life-saving character to protect his life, the Great Nourishing Essence Soup to nourish his blood and qi, and the innate talent of introspection to guide him precisely...

"I don't believe that someone with such profound knowledge and skills can't embark on a path of cultivation that transcends the mundane."

Li Xin thought to himself.

His gaze lingered again on the second level of [Nezha the Third Prince's Divine Intent] at 14%.

To fully digest this, one must step into the third level of God's intention.

The requirement of 40 points of [Spirit] is sufficient. It seems that the next ritual is [Making a Scene in the Sea]. How should we make a scene?

A sudden realization dawned on Li Xin, leaving him somewhat amused and exasperated.

It's getting out of hand.

Chapter 180 Withering and Flourishing, True Qi

West of Zhengyang Gate in Beijing, two streets and alleys are laid out in a staggered pattern.

With its blue brick paving and ancient locust trees lining the way, Li Garden is a tranquil oasis amidst the hustle and bustle.

It was early summer, and the morning mist had not yet dissipated. A hazy white mist enveloped the entire courtyard, gently covering the rows of green bricks and gray tiles.

The cool, damp air seeped into the cracks between the bricks and tiles, creating a tranquil chill throughout the night.

The old locust tree at the base of the wall is covered with lush green branches and leaves, the surface of which is covered with crystal-clear morning dew. When the wind blows, the dewdrops roll down and hit the bluestone slab, breaking into wet spots.

The damp earthy scent, the fresh aroma of ancient wood, and the faint bitter fragrance of herbs wafting from the backyard's herb garden and pharmacy intertwine and blend, permeating the entire courtyard and washing away the hustle and bustle of the world...

This made the vast backyard even more tranquil and secluded, like a secluded sanctuary for spiritual practice, isolated from the world.

Deep within the bamboo garden, lush bamboo grows in abundance, its thousands of stalks verdant and upright.

The dense, overlapping branches and leaves blocked most of the sunlight, casting dappled shadows on the bamboo.

Li Xin, dressed in a plain-colored coarse cloth outfit, stood tall and still by the window of the bamboo garden.

His whole body was relaxed and he didn't move at all.

He gently closed his eyes, eliminating all external distractions, and focused all his thoughts into his body.

The spirit is like a silken net, taking root in the meridians and flesh, requiring careful understanding.

A gentle breeze rustled through the bamboo, its soft sound echoing in the air, and ruffled the fine black hairs on his forehead...

Her hair swayed gently, exuding a serene and otherworldly charm.

From the training ground in the front yard, the sounds of the guards practicing their morning exercises could be heard in the distance.

The whooshing of fists and feet cutting through the air, the crisp sound of clubs clashing, and the low shouts and cheers of the crowd practicing all overlapped in layers.

Drifting along the corridors, pavilions, rockeries, and flowing water.

Separated by several courtyards and layers of flowers and trees, the originally sharp and fierce sound was gradually weakened, becoming ethereal and faint, seemingly near yet far, as if from another world.

It couldn't disturb his mind at all.

At this moment, Li Xin's mind was completely focused inward, and all external phenomena were insignificant.

Three months ago, after his spirit reached 40 and he unlocked the [Inner Vision] talent.

He had already made all the preparations for breaking through and rebuilding, and for solidifying his inner strength.

With the protection of the [Life Character] and the [Great Nourishing Essence Soup], one can condense blood into an elixir and gather qi to return to one's true nature.

To put it simply, it's about condensing all the body's Qi and blood into a single point, forming a round, shiny blood pill, or you could call it a Qi pill.

Due to extreme concentration, after embracing the elixir, one can generate elixir energy, which circulates through the meridians, allowing the body to transform once again.

This is what is known as true qi.

There are two difficulties in making this happen.

First, it's unclear to what extent one's internal energy needs to be condensed to be considered qualified.

Secondly, it is unknown whether the body will still have vitality after all the qi and blood have been condensed.

Will the spirit still exist?

In martial arts cultivation, the transformation of internal energy into true qi is the dividing line between ordinary martial arts and true cultivation, a crucial hurdle in life and death that breaks through worldly constraints.

Ordinary martial artists spend their entire lives cultivating, only to find themselves stuck at the peak of internal strength, unable to make any further progress, and forever barred from the path of true qi.

This is all because there is no one to guide them; they can only rely on vague ideas to guess the circulation of qi and blood.

If you are not careful, your meridians will break and your qi and blood will become disordered.

At best, one's cultivation will be completely destroyed; at worst, one's physical body will be damaged, and one's life and cultivation will be extinguished.

Li Xin possesses the talent of internal vision, which allows him to perceive the subtle changes in the meridians, qi and blood, and internal organs of his body with perfect accuracy.

Control the flow of every strand of internal energy.

The pressure on every inch of bone and tendon, the opening and closing of every acupoint, are clearly reflected in the mind.
