Chapter 524: Niwan 9 Palace

Chapter 524: Niwan Jiugong
Borrowing incense...

The White Elephant King's face twitched. As the strange woman walked slowly, an invisible aura had already covered the entire bamboo forest, blocking his possibility of escape.

"Grandmaster!"

Cold sweat oozed from the White Elephant King's forehead, as he had never expected that there was such a person as 'Chi Lian' in the world.

He was filled with anger and tried to stand up, forcing himself to put on an ugly smile.

"How much do you want?"

"how much do you have?"

Chi Lian glanced at him calmly and said, "I'll take as many as you have."

"..."

The White Elephant King felt upset. He had never been robbed before, but at this moment he could only bow his head:
"The incense of the sect has always been in the hands of the Dharma Master. After the Dharma Master left, only the three tripods were left. Since you want them, I will go and get them for you."

"Go back quickly."

Chi Lian was not afraid that he would run away, so she let him stagger into the depths of the bamboo forest. She held an umbrella, found a clean place, and sat down cross-legged.

"The one who opened the temple."

Under the umbrella, Chi Lian followed the White Elephant King attentively. He took out an ancient mirror, looked at the criss-crossing patterns on it, and couldn't help but frowned.

She paid a huge price to refine this ancient realm with the guidance of a master craftsman. With the help of the secret method "Immortal Guidance", it is always useful for exploring the mysteries.

But now, the patterns on the mirror surface are flowing and changing, with no direction at all and nothing to point to.

"I can't point it out, I can only put my hope on the ritual... If I can get into the Bafang Temple, I don't know if I can take away the fortune of the temple's founder, but even if I can't, my trip will not be in vain."

Chi Lian's heart was beating fast.

The only person who founded the temple who was clearly recorded in the academy was the current leader of the Wuxian Sect, but even those who followed him into the temple back then are now all top-notch warriors who roam the Tianshiyuan.

Thinking back to the strong man he had met before, Chi Lian could no longer calm down and wished he could get the Yuanhuo for sacrifice immediately.

After a while, the White Elephant King turned back.

"Senior, all the incense in my hand is here."

He put down the three large tripods, feeling an uncontrollable pain in his heart. These were all dug out from the ruins by him with great difficulty after the destruction of the headquarters.

He had wanted to keep it for when he died, but now...

"Ah."

Chi Lian nodded with satisfaction. If she were in Tianshiyuan, she would have to fight desperately for many times to obtain these three tripods of Yuanhuo. But here, she could just say a few words and someone would deliver them to her.

"not bad."

Chi Lian stood up and couldn't help but praise him.

Although the incense in these three large tripods is not as good as the one given by the Thousand-Eyed Dharma Master before, its quality is much higher.

"As long as you are useful, senior."

The White Elephant King's heart was bleeding, but he still forced a smile: "Do you have any other instructions?"

“Come to think of it, it is true.”

Chi Lian knew what he was thinking, but she didn't care much and just glanced at him calmly:
"I want to hold a sacrificial ceremony, and I need some rare treasures. It's rare that you are willing to do so, so you can go and buy them!"

"…I will do my best."

The White Elephant King's smile was uglier than crying, but he could only lower his head and agree.

“I wonder what the purpose of this sacrificial ceremony is?”

"This ceremony..."

Chi Lian spoke subconsciously, and then realized that something was wrong. This was not the White Elephant King asking, but...

"Who?"

Chi Lian was startled and turned around with an umbrella.

But in the night, I saw an old man in purple robe and with a dignified face standing with his hands behind his back. I don't know when this man appeared here, and he was looking at me with interest.

"It's you?!"

When Chi Lian was startled, the shocked and horrified voice of the White Elephant King came from behind him:
“Qin, Qin Yun!”

boom!
The bamboo forest trembled, and the White Elephant King stomped his feet and retreated, streaking through the night sky like a meteor, regardless of his injuries, and ran away.

"Since you recognize me, how dare you run away?"

Qin Yun sneered, and under Chi Lian's gaze, he raised his hand and grabbed it.

hum~
With just a seemingly casual grab, Chi Lian felt that the bamboo forest, the temple, and even the perceived world were turned upside down by an invisible force.

The next moment, accompanied by a scream, the White Elephant King, who was running wildly, was pulled back by a huge force and fell back to the ground in a very embarrassed manner.

With a bang, smoke and dust rose.

"you……"

Veins popped out of Chi Lian's palms holding the umbrella, and his expression was solemn and horrified:

"Shrine?!"

At this moment, Chi Lian's hair stood up, and a biting chill surged in from all directions, suppressing all her outward energy back into her body with an extremely brutal attitude.

This is no longer the method of a warrior in the Unity Realm.

What made her even more shocked and angry was that such a strong man actually followed her and attacked her secretly, so that she was caught off guard and did not even have the chance to fight back or escape.

"The vision of the alien visitor is not bad."

Qin Yun stood with his hands behind his back, the smile on his face faded:

"I am Qin Yun, and I am here to borrow your help!"

"you!"

Chi Lian was furious and was about to explode when she felt a chill between her eyebrows. A white jade-like finger had already touched her forehead. The speed was so fast that she had no way to avoid it. "How dare you touch my soul?!"

Chi Lian reacted quickly. He raised his head in shock and anger, and his voice became sharp: "There is a restriction of the Poison Dragon God in my soul. How dare you..."

"Snapped!"

Qin Yun turned his fingers into palms, grabbed her face, and lifted her up:
"Poison Dragon God... Well, let's go to another place to discuss your ritual."

When he turned around, he glanced at the White Elephant King, whose face was pale, but he did not dare to be negligent. He struggled to hold up the three large tripods and followed Qin Yun away.

……

……

Bafang Temple Cave Heaven.

"call!"

"Suck!"

On the grass at the foot of the mountain path, Li Yuan lowered his waist and sat on his hips. His pores were dilated, and the faint energy was spreading. The air currents within a radius of dozens of feet moved with it, making the grass and trees rustle.

"Qi and blood, true qi."

Li Yuan looked inward.

In his body, the true energy was circulating through the thirty-six major meridians, and the blood was rushing through the meridians all over the body.

Qi, blood and true energy run parallel in his body, supporting his various internal organs.

Of the four steps to enter the Tao, Li Yuan has already completed two. Apart from the final step of breaking through the barrier, the 'unity of body and spirit', he only needs to knead his true energy and blood before he can break through the barrier and enter the Tao.

But this step is not easy.

Although both true Qi and blood Qi originate from blood, there is a huge difference between the two. If you try to force them together, there is a risk of blood backflow and meridian rupture.

"The danger of this step lies in the overlap of the Qi channel circulation and the meridians throughout the body. I have cultivated thirty-six Qi channels, which gives me a great advantage in this step..."

Li Yuan's heart is like a mirror, reflecting himself clearly.

True Qi, Qi and blood, blood, tendons and bones, various internal organs, and even the acupoints between the eyebrows of the limbs and torso can all be seen at a glance.

The benefits of such powerful inner vision for entering the four levels of the Tao are self-evident.

"For a Grand Master, the three elements are united as one, and the Dao stage can be considered as the second one, the Qi and blood are united, and the spirit and body are united... No wonder many quasi-Grand Masters are afraid of the Dao stage like a tiger, it is indeed dangerous."

Li Yuan talked to himself.

His inner vision comes from the opening of the Niwan, and from the nourishment of the spirit by the health-preserving Qi and the Black Whale Qi. His mental power is far stronger than that of warriors of the same level.

Even so, he felt dangerous, so one can imagine the situation of other warriors.

A warrior who can reach this stage of entering the Dao is already the best of the time, a rare talent among men, but at this stage, the probability is only 30 to 40, and he still needs various elixirs to help him.

"The step of combining Qi and blood is still a bit dangerous. To be safe, I still need to open the Nine Palaces of Niwan..."

Li Yuan's mind moved, and he guided the true energy to the center of his eyebrows.

hum~
The Niwan emits a faint light like a star, and in the darkness around it, one can vaguely perceive a number of acupoints that have not yet been lit.

"With the blessing of the Niwan Palace and the opening of the nine stars, my soul should undergo a transformation. By then, it may be much safer to carry out the step of 'combining qi and soul'."

Master Li Dao was thinking about it.

He has always been extremely cautious about practicing martial arts. He would rather go slowly than take the wrong path, and he would always think twice before taking each step.

It was this habit that enabled him to avoid making mistakes when no one guided him in the early stages.

hum~
Li Yuan guided the true energy into the Niwan.

Since opening the Niwan, he would draw on his true qi to nourish the Niwan every now and then, so he was naturally familiar with the process.

During this process, he could feel the area between his eyebrows becoming more and more swollen, and the "stars" around his Niwan gradually began to glow.

After a long time, Li Yuan opened his eyes, swallowed a handful of elixirs, entered into meditation again, and mobilized his true energy into his Niwan.

This was repeated countless times.

When Li Yuan's true energy was exhausted again, he felt the swelling between his eyebrows reached its peak and finally "exploded".

boom!
Even though he was prepared, Li Yuan's eyes went dark as if he was hit in the face by a hammer.

But he seemed unaware, his attention was focused on his brows. As the last wisp of true energy disappeared into the darkness, a light shone brightly in his mind.

Stars clustered around the Niwan Palace, emitting faint light.

"Nine Palaces of Niwan!"

At this moment, Li Yuan felt a chill spreading from his brows to his whole body, and his mental strength rose sharply at a perceptible speed.

In a trance, he had the illusion that he was sitting in the dark.

It was as if he had turned into the Nine Palaces of Niwan, sitting there quietly, and vaguely felt the subtle response coming from the darkness around him, but when he concentrated carefully, he could no longer perceive it.

"Is this, another acupoint?"

Li Yuan's heart moved, and he kept that feeling in mind, feeling the benefits of the full opening of his Niwan.

His spirit was still growing stronger, and his control over himself had reached a new level, even down to a certain blood vessel or meridian!
“If the spirit becomes stronger again, even without the secret method of the Evil God Cult, I can find the other acupoints one by one!”

After a moment, Li Yuan opened his eyes.

In the cave, the sun and the moon move, and it is already late at night.

“Steady improvement.”

Li Yuan was satisfied and ended his practice for the day.

After casually taking a fasting pill, Li Yuan found a clean place to sit cross-legged. With a thought, he arrived at the gray stone platform.

Since the last small court sacrifice, he has remained highly vigilant and listened to music every day.
