Chapter 1081: A Thousand Miles a Day, Gathering Qi and Embracing Dan
Strictly speaking, the gifts sent by Manager Yan were not the rewards of that Young City Lord of Yixian City, but just his personal meeting gifts.
Not very valuable, but it can solve Luo Chen's urgent needs.
At first glance, it was just rice, flour, grain, and oil, but none of them were things Luo Chen was currently in urgent need of.
He was once a Soul Transformation expert, and he could have achieved the state of Bigu (grain-free) by using the spiritual energy of heaven and earth as nourishment without absorbing it through food. But this Great Destruction Realm is different, there is no spiritual energy at all, and Luo Chen cannot absorb energy from the outside.
Previously, he could still rely on decomposing and absorbing the Source Blood in his body to maintain daily activities, and the consumption was not large. But if the Source Blood consumed for healing was added, then this Source Blood became water without a source, which can be said to be less with every use.
It was precisely because of this that Luo Chen wanted to leave this village early.
Now with a large batch of meat and refined rice sent by Manager Yan, although the energy contained in it is not much, it can barely supplement it.
And that Manager Yan is a clever person. The meeting gift he sent actually included a lamp.
"What kind of lamp is this?" Jing Lan looked curiously at the broken oil lamp in front of her.
Luo Chen explained calmly: "Broken Phase Green Lamp."
Obviously, Manager Yan had indeed carefully investigated Luo Chen's origin, even investigating his actions in Qingshan Town that day clearly.
It is estimated that he heard from Wanxiang Pavilion that Luo Chen was interested in this lamp, so he specially bought it and gave it to Luo Chen.
This lamp originated from the Zhaoying Sect in the Southern Border of the Mountain Sea Realm.
It was originally driven by Gu insects, but later modified by Luo Chen, it became a magic tool that can be driven by both magic power and source power. And its function is not complicated, it can illuminate transformed objects, break illusions, and reveal the true appearance of illusory objects, etc.
Now this lamp has no magic power to drive it, and it is itself too damaged, so it is actually of no use to Luo Chen.
He let Jing Lan handle this thing casually, and then focused on his cultivation.
Jing Lan was quite interested in this ancient broken lamp, added some lamp oil, and placed it on the table in the room properly.
It is deep in the night right now.
Jing Lan lay on the table, looking at the oil lamp in the room, and the tall figure sitting cross-legged behind the lamplight, feeling very solid in her heart.
If it could continue like this forever, it would be great.
However, she was also looking forward to being able to leave here.
"There are still four months left!"
The return date of Manager Yan was set at the end of the year when the smoke workshop's affairs were finished, and it was still a full four months away from now.
For ordinary people, this is a difficult wait.
But for Luo Chen, who was focused on cultivation, this time was still not enough.
The orthodox body cultivation path, in the cultivation of the second realm, mainly focuses on understanding the changes in blood and energy.
The former Luo Chen didn't dig deep into that path because of talent, time, future, and various reasons. Now that he is back on the path, he is shocked to find that this path is actually not very difficult for him.
Perhaps because he has read a lot of books, perhaps because he has practiced many martial arts from the ancient times, or perhaps because he once had a fifth-rank wild beast physical body, in short, he was already in a high-level state in this regard.
Plus, the body cultivation path has some meaning of reaching the same goal by different routes, so once he got started, he progressed rapidly.
The Ming Strength in the changes of blood and energy was formed in an instant.
The subsequent An Strength also took only two or three days of practice for him.
Hua Strength is the most difficult level among the four strengths, paying attention to moving as one wishes, potential internal circulation, and then the combination of Qi and strength, spreading all the strength energy to every corner of the whole body. In this way, whether it is attack or defense, it can be sent and received as one wishes, and the strength can be freely manifested.
This level, Luo Chen spent a little longer, taking a full half a month to spread the strength energy all over his body.
Of course, if those orthodox body cultivators saw Luo Chen spend less than a month in total to understand the three types of strength in the changes of blood and energy, and break through three small realms in a row, I am afraid their eyeballs would fall to the ground.
But for Luo Chen, this is indeed not something to be proud of.
His body cultivation foundation was laid too solidly!
If the Blood River Realm is to be carefully divided, there are actually nine complete small realms, which Wang Yuan explained to Luo Chen back then, namely 【Refining Organs】, 【Easy Tendons】, 【Washing Marrow】, 【Clearing Meridians】, 【Opening Acupoints】, 【Ming Strength】, 【An Strength】, 【Hua Strength】, 【Dan Strength】.
And among these nine small realms, the five steps of Easy Tendons and Washing Marrow, Refining Organs and Clearing Meridians, and even opening all the acupoints of the whole body, Luo Chen had already completed hundreds of years ago.
Now he is just perfecting the unfinished business on this basis with a high-level posture.
After understanding Hua Strength, what Luo Chen has to consider is the last strength among the four strengths of Ming, An, Hua, and Dan—Dan Strength!
In the quiet place behind the mountain.
Luo Chen sat under a big tree, a thoughtful look appearing in his eyes.
Hua Strength is the most difficult level in the changes of blood and energy, difficult because it is cumbersome, after all, it is necessary to spread the whole body's strength to all corners of the whole body.
And Dan Strength is the most dangerous level in the changes of blood and energy, and Wang Yuan was stuck in this small realm for a long time back then.
The reason why it is called dangerous is that it is necessary to gather all the strength scattered all over the body into one point!
This point, in martial arts cultivation, is called "Dan"!
Similar to the Golden Core in Qi Refining, but different.
It not only emphasizes the fusion and uniqueness of strength, but also emphasizes the introversion of will and spirit.
The process of fusion of strength is extremely painful, requiring a powerful martial arts will to bear the pain while controlling the fusion of strength.
This Dan fused out is like the chicken egg at the beginning of the Hongmeng, evolving all things in heaven and earth. The more concentrated, the smaller, the more introverted, the stronger the power erupted during the battle. Even, it will affect the cultivation of the next realm.
As for willpower, Luo Chen doesn't worry at all.
With his strong Dao heart and firm will, he can completely ignore a little pain.
What Luo Chen is thinking about at this moment is how to avoid damage to the body during the process of embracing Dan.
Now this body, although it looks good, is actually like a crumbling building, and it cannot tolerate any mistakes before it is well-rested.
"Perhaps I can try bit by bit, be familiar with the steps of embracing Dan, and then take that step after being foolproof." Luo Chen muttered to himself.
Compared with Qi Refining, martial arts cultivation pays more attention to day-to-day cultivation.
And when it comes to proficiency, his attribute panel can still be opened.
In other words, he can completely decide when to embrace Dan and when to take that step through the materialized proficiency progress!
And in this process, it is not relying on hard cultivation, he can also draw inferences from one instance, and improve proficiency by practicing martial arts derived from strength.
"Let me think, what martial arts were written on "Divine Gang Fighting Qi" written by Wang Yuan back then? Blood God Tribulation Finger mainly based on Ming Strength, Immortal Returning Pengying that kills unexpectedly with An Strength, and the most vicious Blood Transformation Demon Finger..."
In the Great Destruction Realm, there are still changes in seasons.
However, this change is relatively vague compared to the previous Mountain Sea Realm.
Because of the three suns hanging high in the sky, the temperature difference between day and night is huge, and the seasonal changes also present a polarized situation.
Spring and autumn are extremely short, and winter and summer are scorching.
The whole summer starts from April and doesn't end until September or October.
But the end of the scorching summer doesn't mean the arrival of a cool autumn. On the contrary, the days that follow are even more difficult for ordinary people.
Because this period is the high-incidence season for Sky Wind and Ghost Rain among the three great natural disasters.
Ordinary people dare not stay outside for too long, and some daily part-time jobs can only be based at home.
Like the work of tanning Qian Die Rope that Jing Lan wanted to take on before, it is something that can be done at home without going to the smoke workshop.
Of course, Jing Lan will follow Luo Chen to leave Qingshan Town later, so naturally she doesn't need to do this.
The idle her simply sews clothes at home, preparing for the long journey ahead.
"At the end of the year, heavy snow flies, and it is particularly cold. It's fine not to go out, but if you want to travel far, you need thick coats to keep warm."
Jing Lan looked at the simple linen clothes on Luo Chen, and said while sewing.
Luo Chen wanted to say no, but seeing the woman's eager gaze, he didn't refuse.
"Oh, by the way, it is very likely to rain ghost rain tonight. There are complete Dream Stones in the gifts sent by Manager Yan, take one out and light it!" Jing Lan reminded.
Luo Chen responded with a "Mm", and went to take a Dream Stone out on his own.
But before he lit it, his scalp went numb, and he subconsciously looked outside the door.
In the dim sky, a white light flashed vaguely, and then a deafening thunder exploded.
Boom!
Jing Lan didn't feel much, but looked at the outside with a smile.
"Look, I said it was going to rain."
Outside, the sound of large raindrops hitting the ground began to sound, and a chill spread.
Luo Chen walked to the door, looking at the white light that seemed to tear the sky apart in the sky, his expression extremely solemn.
Is that the Soul-Swinging Thunder Sound mentioned by Manager Yan?
In the fire pit, firewood was piled up, and the burning Dream Stone emitted wisps of green smoke.
After dinner, Jing Lan went to sleep on her own, and Luo Chen was still practicing.
He was quite familiar with gathering intent to embrace Dan and understanding Dan Strength, and perhaps it wouldn't be long before he succeeded.
In this way, he could use his own blood and energy power more exquisitely in the future, rather than the simple and rough source power.
Outside, the rain was pouring, and inside the house, Luo Chen was calm and focused, sitting cross-legged and meditating.
Strands of strength energy kept flowing in the cleared meridians in the body, and strength energy was also spitting between the acupoints. In a piece of chaos, it seemed that a chicken egg was born.
Suddenly!
Luo Chen's brows frowned slightly, and he subconsciously opened his eyes, looking outside the wooden door.
In the dark, it seemed that there was something ghostly peeking in secret. ===== CHAPTER 1082 =====
