Chapter 113 Breakthrough of Qi Hai Mirror

Five days later…

Inside the main hall of Xuanyue Temple.

A row of candles were lit, and a strong wind suddenly blew through the wicks. The first eight candles went out one by one, and the last one just swayed slightly and then came back to light.

"Or not!"

After another breakthrough in his inner strength last night, Zhang Yu gained new insights into gathering energy to break armor. He then tried to combine the scorpion tail golden needle technique with the dragon-catching acupuncture technique, attempting to create a unique technique of acupuncture through the air.

After trying it for a while, he could only send the energy out two meters in front of him, but he was completely unable to accurately control the direction and strength. If the distance was too far, when it hit someone, it would be just like a mosquito bite.

"Brother Lan, why don't you eat one?"

Lan Hao was sitting on a cushion, comprehending the Heart Sutra left by Taoist Zhao Xu.

Under the dim light, this person had snow-white skin, thick eyebrows, phoenix eyes, thin lips, and a hint of charm in his heroic look.

"The Yin-Yang Sutra" is an extremely profound Taoist heart sutra. Before it is initially refined, one must continue to close the meridians and completely seal the true qi in the dantian, so that one can generate that harmonious energy between yin and yang, between existence and non-existence, without being affected by the original martial arts true qi.

“The candle smells okay.”

After Zhang Yu waited for the candle to cool down, he took out one and put it in his mouth and started chewing it. Only then did the hunger in his stomach feel a little relieved.

The two hid for a few days. During this time, under the guidance of Lan Hao, Zhang Yu passed through the stone forest and went out to take a look. There were at least a thousand Jinyiwei outside searching the mountains and forests. It seemed that there were also troops from the Xi'an Dusi stationed in the wilderness. The entire Qingniu Mountain had been surrounded.

Lan Hao couldn't use his internal energy. Going out now would undoubtedly mean suicide. He could only continue hiding in the valley.

There is a well behind Xuanyue Temple, which is fine for drinking water, but there is no food.

Lan Hao seemed to have become an immortal, able to live without food or drink. Zhang Yu didn't have that ability, and after searching around, he only found these candles made of resin, which were barely enough to fill his stomach, though they were a bit wooden.

"This is a kind of fragrant bamboo tree oil from Kunlun Mountain. With your cultivation level, if you eat too much, you will easily have hallucinations. It's best to take it easy."

Lan Hao turned to the last page. This Heart Sutra was full of gems in every word and every sentence. It took him so long to read it day and night before he was able to finish it. He had a very high opinion of himself and looked down on all the heroes in the world. He couldn't help but admire the owner of Xuanyue Temple.

Zhao Xu was indeed a man of profound learning. This book, "Liang Yi Yin Yang Heart Sutra", not only could solve his martial arts problems, but it was also a culmination of everything Zhao Xu had learned, and contained the way to harmonize yin and yang.

"If I can refine that Yin-Yang True Pill, not only can I solve the problem, but my martial arts skills will be further improved."

"What should we do? Brother Lan, we won't starve to death in Xuanyue Temple, right?"

"You might starve to death, but I certainly won't."

"Brother Lan, you are too cruel to say that. After all, I was trapped here just to save you."

Lan Hao chuckled and said, "I told you long ago that these Jinyiwei in Guanzhong are just Wei Qianxing, which is a little difficult for you to deal with. If you don't open up the Danzhong acupoint and break through the Qihai realm, and wait for the court to send another expert, then don't even think about leaving Xuanyue Valley in the short term. Anyway, I can stay here for half a year and refine the Heart Sutra before leaving."

Relying on the Golden Pool Dantian, the Green Jade Ring, and a few adventures, it took Zhang Yu less than half a year to go from the Armor Breaking Realm to the Perfection. In the martial arts world, this was absolutely a shocking thing, but in Lan Hao's eyes, it was still as slow as a turtle.

"In this case, in order to get out of the valley as soon as possible and not starve to death in Xuanyue Temple, I will trouble Brother Lan to protect me."

Zhang Yu has not been idle these days. He has taken several sips of Golden Monkey Wine. Until last night, he made the final breakthrough, broke through the acupuncture point, and cultivated the Armor-Breaking Realm to perfection. Today, he can finally use that thing.

Although Lan Hao cannot use his internal energy for the time being, his knowledge of martial arts is at least first-class in the world.

I just don't know why such a person is so unknown in the world.

But this is not surprising. For a person like him, apart from the pursuit of martial arts, the wealth, fame and fortune in the world are nothing but passing clouds, so it is reasonable for him to live in seclusion.

Lan Hao sneered disdainfully, "What's the big deal about a mere Qi Hai Jing? With your accumulation and aptitude, you should be able to break through even with your eyes closed. If a warrior with a 'Golden Pool' Dantian fails at this level, he will definitely be laughed at if the news spreads to the martial arts world."

"Thank you for your affirmation, Brother Lan."

Zhang Yu said unhappily, he took out a small bottle from his arms and poured out a small white pill. Lan Hao looked up and glanced at it, a little surprised: "Hundred-year Snake Pill? It turns out that you have something to rely on, so you dare to be so unhurried. This thing is hard to find, but it's a bit of a waste to use it to break through the Qi Sea Mirror. You are really careful."

Zhang Yu smiled and said, "I am just an ordinary person. I cannot compare to Brother Lan's amazing talent. It is better to be safe than sorry."

"Wei Qianxing is a martial artist at the post-natal level. There is no imperial lackey in Guanzhong who is more powerful than him. His Qi and blood are already weak and he is beginning to go downhill. As long as you break through the Qi Hai Mirror, open up the Tan Zhong acupoint, and then cultivate the first level of the Bei Ming Divine Art, you will be able to kill him."

"Brother Lan has confidence in me."

Lan Hao smiled, seeming impatient: "Stop talking nonsense, let's get started. If anything happens, I will take care of you."

Zhang Yu sat down in the hall, his five hearts facing the sky, his face as calm as a lake.

In the Golden Pool's Dantian, the original purple-gold lotus seed has grown into a pointed lotus bud, and the internal force has turned into half a pool of clear water, with clouds and mist faintly surrounding it.

He swallowed the hundred-year-old snake pill.

Zhang Yu's face instantly turned red, and his veins bulged all over his body, especially on his forehead. He seemed to be in extreme pain.

A gloating smile appeared on Lan Hao's face.

"Do you remember what I told you that night in front of the Orangutan Beach? Don't put all your internal energy into your Dantian. The eight meridians, twelve channels and three hundred and sixty-five acupoints in your body are like the stars in the sky, circulating on their own, endlessly. It's just that ordinary people can't open up the acupoints between the meridians, which are like bamboo joints. The internal energy flows like a hanging thread, and can only maintain their own vitality. When warriors open up those acupoints, they can quickly move their internal energy and reach the level of releasing internal energy."

"Therefore, people often think that the Dantian is a lake and the tendons and veins are water channels. The two are clearly separated and have their own functions. In fact, the two are integrated and can circulate continuously. All you need to do is endure a little pain from the tearing of your tendons and veins."

"This will bring two more benefits. Your internal strength and internal energy circulation speed will be two to three times higher than those of people at the same level."

"Anyway, if you want to reach the Xiantian level in the future, you will have to overcome this difficulty sooner or later. It's better to overcome it sooner rather than later."

Zhang Yu closed his eyes tightly.

Lan Hao's words could still be clearly heard in his mind.

The powerful internal force transformed from the snake pill was like a waterfall falling from the sky, continuously pouring into the dantian.

The internal force that the Golden Pool Dantian can contain is far greater than that of ordinary Dantian.

However, when half of the snake gall was consumed, the Golden Pool's Dantian was already full.

Zhang Yu could only follow Lan Hao's instructions and let the internal energy in Dantian flow back to the already opened Hand Shaoyin Heart Meridian, Hand Taiyin Lung Meridian, Hand Jueyin Pericardium Meridian, Foot Yangming Stomach Meridian, and Foot Shaoyang Gallbladder Meridian, and gradually try to establish circulation in these meridians...

This process was like having thousands of scorpion-tailed golden needles running around in his meridians, and the pain was no less than being cut into pieces. If it weren't for the green jade ring that allowed him to retain a last bit of clarity, he would have gone crazy in such agony.

After midnight, Zhang Yu let out a long howl.

A powerful internal force finally broke through the Tanzhong acupoint...

　Note: I would like to thank some book friends for their suggestions, especially some old book friends who left messages and supported me. I also had some doubts. But after thinking about it, I still can't change it. I apologize in advance.

　　Firstly, when writing martial arts novels, I am personally more cautious about adventures, great increases in power, and breakthroughs in realm, and I try my best to convince myself as a reader.

　　To put it bluntly, how can Yue Buqun and Zuo Zhangmen have practiced for decades, while you, a newcomer, can be on par with them in just two or three years?

　　I certainly can't really write for decades, covering every detail. I wouldn't be able to bear it, and my few book friends would all run away.

　　So it can only be magical powers or miraculous encounters, but I also think that even if there are magical powers and miraculous encounters, there is still some rationality.

　　For example, Bei Ming Sheng Gong can solve the problem of accumulating internal strength in a short period of time and slightly fill in the problem of logical rationality. In addition to being a magical skill, it can also play this role, so I chose it.

　　Writing a novel is not like writing an essay. The logic is definitely not perfect. Even Mr. Jin Yong finds it difficult to be 100% logical. But if even the author himself cannot accept it, the whole world will be distorted.
　　My ability is limited and I am talking nonsense. I don’t know if I have expressed myself clearly. I’m sorry.

　　In addition, the Bei Ming Divine Art is related to a martial art in The Smiling, Proud Wanderer, which is equivalent to a perfect version. It also serves as a foreshadowing for the subsequent plot design.
