Chapter 430 Shaoshang Sword Pill!

Fan Qi explained a lot of things to Xin Zhen, but before leaving, he couldn't help but say, "Why don't you come back with us? The capital is too dangerous. With three armies coming to support the king, I'm afraid no one will be able to escape unscathed if the war breaks out."

Xin Zhen nodded and said, "Thank you for your concern, please let me think about it."

Fan Qi nodded and said, "Well, it's just a few days. You have to make a decision as soon as possible."

On the way back to the yard, Xin Zhen seemed a little worried. Ren Yingying and Xin Zhen had been married for decades, so she naturally knew that Xin Zhen had something on his mind, and quickly asked him what was going on.

Xin Zhen explained the matter and then said with a smile: "I was just thinking about how to do this. I already have an idea in my mind. Can you help me think about it?"

Ren Yingying smiled and said, "You want me to take Sanniang and the kids and leave with Master Fan first, right?"

Xin Zhen nodded and smiled, "That's the idea. I don't want to give up the relationship with Longhu Mountain for the time being. I don't know if Zhang Gongyu will leave, but there is no reason for me to leave first."

Ren Yingying nodded and said, "I understand. I agree with this, but it needs to be slightly modified. Let Xinqi and Sanniang take the children with Master Fan and the others. I will stay here with you. If anything happens, I will take you out."

Xin Zhen smiled and nodded. The couple had been together for decades, and even if they encountered danger, there was no reason for them to think of separating.

"Okay, I'll tell the master tomorrow, and I'll also ask Zhang Gongyu about his plans. If he wants to stay, then we can stay together."

After talking to Ren Yingying, Xin Zhen went to the quiet room alone. Faced with many crises at the moment, he had to increase his strength as soon as possible.

The only thing that can quickly increase your strength right now is the Guiyi Sword Manual.

Xin Zhen sat in the quiet room. He had already studied the sword manual, and the difficulty was to cultivate a sword pill.

Martial artists of high level are rare in the world, and swordsmen among martial artists are even rarer, because it is not easy to practice flying sword.

This might be the reason why the young Taoist priest Zhang Gongyu was willing to give the Guiyi Sword Manual to Xin Zhen.

Of course everyone knows that the swordsman is unparalleled in killing, but how many people can practice it?

Many people who practice cultivation cannot get past the stage of raising the sword pill.

If you can’t even raise a sword ball, what’s the point of being a swordsman?

Xin Zhen had not thought that he could cultivate the sword pill in a short time. According to the sword manual, there are several ways to obtain the sword pill.

One is to cultivate it by oneself, but this method is extremely difficult. There are very few swordsmen who can cultivate sword pills by themselves. Sword pills are very precious. Even the worst sword pill requires a cultivator to spend decades to make one. The starting standard for a swordsman who can cultivate sword pills by himself is a Jindan cultivator.

One is to rely on inheritance. In the great inheritance, there are naturally sword pills left by the ancestors. After the outstanding disciples have passed the assessment and obtained the recognition of the sword pill, they can control the sword pill.

The other is to rely on chance encounters, for example, if you are gifted, you may be spotted by a magical sword ball scattered between heaven and earth, or you may be spotted by a master who casually takes out a sword ball, or you may fall into a valley and happen to meet a swordsman who died a violent death...

Xin Zhen is a very pragmatic person. Naturally, he doesn't think too much and just does what he can first.

Although it is difficult to cultivate the sword pill, Xin Zhen has never lacked patience, and he has quite some experience in the method of cultivating the sword pill.

The sword ball in the world of Liao Zhai is not made by a blacksmith, nor is it made of some meteorite metal. Its raw material is actually true Qi. The true Qi and the soul are compressed to the extreme and turned into liquid to condense into a small ball. This small ball is the sword ball.

The sword ball is a small ball in liquid form. When the user thinks about it, it will turn into a flying sword. The flying sword can be split into two, two into three, three into six according to the user's thought... The stronger the user's control ability, the more the sword can be split into, and the greater the lethality.

Since the cultivation of the sword pill involves the use of true energy, Xin Zhen has confidence.

When it comes to the use of true Qi, Xin Zhen considers himself to be the second best, and perhaps no one in the world dares to claim to be the best. After all, his speed in cultivating true Qi is twenty times faster than that of an ordinary person!

It takes other people decades to cultivate the sword pill, but my speed is ten to twenty times faster than theirs, so I can cultivate it in a few years.

Xin Zhen immersed his mind into his Dantian, and began to condense his true energy according to the instructions in the Guiyi Sword Manual. In an instant, the vast Dantian began to churn, and countless true energy gathered in the center. Xin Zhen tried to compress the true energy.

There is a lot of true energy, but it is difficult to compress it.

Xin Zhen's expression seemed to indicate that it was as he expected.

Although he had a lot of true qi, his dantian was extremely large. If he wanted to use his dantian as a container to compress the true qi, the true qi required would be vast. Unless he stuffed ten or a hundred times more true qi than his dantian into his dantian, it would be possible to compress it into liquid.

I see. This is where the difficulty lies. No wonder the cultivators who can cultivate sword pills by themselves are at least Jindan cultivators.

The principle of this sword pill is actually similar to that of the golden elixir, both of which use the true qi to infinitely compress and change its form. It cannot be done unless you reach that level.

Xin Zhen's thinking was very broad. After all, he traveled through time from an era of scientific prosperity. He understood the principles as soon as he thought about them, and he also had some ideas that he wanted to try out.

The Dantian is too big, so will the acupoints be okay?
Dantian is actually also an acupuncture point, but it is the largest acupuncture point in the body. It can accommodate a huge amount of true qi, so it is often used as the focus of cultivation.

Dantian is too big, so I will use a small acupoint!

If there is not enough Qi to nourish the sword pill in the Dantian, then the Qi can be compressed in the acupoints that are a hundred times smaller than the Dantian. The Qi will definitely be sufficient. What needs to be considered is whether these acupoints can withstand such a great pressure like the Dantian.

Xin Zhen had to try this slowly. After all, the pressure required to compress the gas into liquid was too great. If he was not careful, it would be life-threatening.

Xin Zhen began to experiment slowly, slowly channeling his true Qi into an acupoint on his arm for compression.

As the true Qi was slowly injected, Xin Zhen felt that the acupoints were gradually becoming fuller and seemed to be slowly turning into liquid. He was delighted: this idea was feasible.

However, he was happy too soon. As the true energy surged in, the acupoints on his hands began to feel stinging and even felt like they were going to explode!
Xin Zhen was startled and quickly released the acupoints to let the true qi out. Only then did the feeling of the acupoints exploding gradually disappear.

Xin Zhen frowned. As expected, the strength of the acupoint was still insufficient.

Xin Zhen tried other acupoints, but the strength of the remaining acupoints was not enough to compress the true qi into liquid. Once it reached a critical point, there was a risk of explosion.

Xin Zhen breathed a sigh of relief. The world of cultivation had been going on for hundreds or thousands of years, or even tens of thousands of years. Countless talented people had devoted themselves to it, but in the end, they decided to nourish the sword pill in their dantian. This meant that they must have tried countless times and countless deaths before they finally decided.

Sure enough it's not that easy.

but……

There is another way to convert gas into liquid: one is to compress it with pressure!
Xin Zhen's mind moved, and the Pure Yang Wuji Gong slowly started to work, using the Pure Yang Qi. The Pure Yang Wuji Gong is a way to balance Yin and Yang, which can balance Yin and Yang, and can be pure Yang or pure Yin. Xin Zhen is now using the Pure Yang path. Xin Zhen only felt that his whole body became hot, and his Qi became warm and even hot.

"It's time!"

Xin Zhen started the circulation of pure Yang Qi, and a stream of pure Yang Qi went through the middle burner, went down to connect with the large intestine, then went up through the diaphragm and entered the lungs; from the lungs it went out from the armpit, along the inner side of the upper arm before the Shaoyin meridian of the hand and the Jueyin meridian of the hand, went down to the elbow pit, along the radial side of the palm of the forearm it entered the Cunkou meridian, passed the thenar eminence, along the edge of the thenar eminence, and came out at the radial end of the thumb.

This is the meridian route of the Taiyin Lung Meridian, which is yin in nature.

Xin Zhen felt that the hot and surging true qi had slowly cooled down when it passed through his armpits. When it reached his elbows, the true qi already showed signs of liquefaction. When it entered the Cunkou area, it indeed turned into liquid!
Xin Zhen was very happy, thinking that he was on the right track.

Xin Zhen calmed himself down, transformed the true Qi in his body into pure Yang, and let it flow along the meridians. More and more liquid Qi appeared at the Cunkou point, and it gradually gathered into a pool.

As time goes by, the liquid true qi accumulated in the acupoints at the Cunkou point becomes more and more, and there is even a risk of overflow.

Xin Zhen gathered his true energy, calmed his mind, and then his bones gradually glowed, with starlight floating on them. Xin Zhen used his mind to transport these starlights to the Cunkou acupoint, and the starlights fell into the deep pool of Cunkou like meteors, merging with the water in the deep pool, and the water in the pool gradually began to glow.

I don’t know how much time had passed, but Xin Zhen’s whole body shook, he suddenly opened his eyes, and then raised his right thumb.

He wasn't praising himself.

Xin Zhen stared at his thumb, and suddenly a bead with a clear and bright glow like water emerged from his thumb.

As soon as this bead with a halo as clear as water appeared, Xin Zhen felt a powerful force, as sharp as a bolt of lightning and a storm coming towards him!

Shao Shang Sword!
Xin Zhen's face showed a look of ecstasy from the bottom of his heart.

Sure enough, spiritual practice still depends on science.

Forcibly compressing the true qi into liquid can only be done by reaching the Golden Core Stage, but Xin Zhen found another way.

Let the boiling pure yang energy follow the pure yin route of the Taiyin Lung Meridian through the Shaoshang Sword among the Six Meridians Divine Swords. The meridian route of the Shaoshang Sword is the condenser. When the hot air passes through the condenser, won't it turn into liquid?
Sure enough, everything I learned has its meaning.

Xin Zhen stared at the sword ball that was as clear as water. With a thought, a wisp of water mist was drawn out from the sword ball. It passed across the sandalwood table lightly, and the sandalwood table was instantly split into two halves. It was extremely sharp.

Xin Zhen's mind moved again, and the sword ball turned into water mist that enveloped the sandalwood table. Silently, the sandalwood table turned into dust on the ground.

Xin Zhen stretched out his hand and immediately a cloud of mist condensed, and a bead with a clear and bright halo like water appeared above Xin Zhen's palm.

Xin Zhen closed his eyes, and with a thought, the sword ball above his palm disappeared immediately. However, in his dantian, there was a sword ball running around, stirring up huge waves in his dantian.

Xin Zhen opened his eyes, and a sharp air made a hissing sound in the air. He quickly closed his eyes, and opened them again. His eyes became gentle again, but his whole body temperament was no longer gentle as before, but carried a sharp temperament.

Xin Zhen was amazed in his heart, is this the great power of the sword pill?

It's really amazing.

Then Xin Zhen's mind moved. This Six Meridians Divine Sword has six routes, three of which are yin. Does this mean that two sword pills can be condensed?
If that's the case, it would be really amazing.

An average swordsman can only condense one sword in his lifetime, but he can condense at least three. Once they start fighting, it will be hard to defend against.

As for the three yang meridian routes, are they just for decoration?

Xin Zhen didn't think that it would be just a decoration, but he didn't know whether he could condense a sword pill. He could only try again later.

If I could condense six sword pills...hiss, I dare not think about it!
It was already bright outside. It turned out that he had been practicing all night without realizing it. However, he did not feel tired. Instead, he felt full of vitality.

Xin Zhen pushed the door open and walked out, only to feel that the whole world had become different again.

It was not because he was in high spirits, but because he truly felt that he could see a world that he had never seen before.

Seeing that there was no one around, Xin Zhen released the sword ball. With a thought, the sword ball was already high in the sky. Xin Zhen immediately "saw" the panoramic view of the capital from the sky.

The starlight fused into the sword pill is actually Xin Zhen's soul. From another perspective, the sword pill is Xin Zhen's clone, and naturally it is connected with Xin Zhen's mind.

What Jianwan can "see", Xin Zhen can naturally "see" as well.

Suddenly Xin Zhen felt his body go cold, and he felt that many people were "looking" at him, so he quickly took back the sword ball. These people were probably powerful people in the capital who were casually glancing at him.

Red Dragon Temple.

Xin Zhen had just arrived at the government office and had not yet started working when Zhang Gongyu came looking for him.

Xin Zhen smiled and said, "Just find someone to call me, why do you have to come by yourself?"

Zhang Gongyu looked at Xin Zhen with some surprise and said, "I feel like you seem a little different today. Have you made a breakthrough in your cultivation?"

Xin Zhen smiled and nodded, saying, "I have cultivated the sword pill."

Zhang Gongyu smiled and said, "Ah, you have started to cultivate the sword pill. Your speed is quite fast. Take your time and be patient. With your realm, it will take you more than ten years at the fastest and several decades at the slowest to cultivate the sword pill.

It seems like a long time, but you are only sixteen years old. If you can cultivate the sword pill before you are forty, you will be a great man by then."

Zhang Gongyu smacked his lips and said, "A thirty-something Jindan swordsman, wow, that's really amazing."

Xin Zhen smiled and said, "I mean, the sword pill has been nurtured."

As he finished speaking, beads with clear and bright halos like water appeared, and Zhang Gongyu suddenly felt a surge of powerful force, as sharp as a bolt of lightning and a storm rushing towards him!

Zhang Gongyu: “…”

Zhang Gongyu's face showed horror.

"Kenmaru?"
