The maids who left the Hou Mansion came back one after another. Sikong Wu didn't want to delay them, so he just used the excuse of refining Qingpeng's energy and blood to let them choose to leave or stay in the manor. Those who left would get one thousand taels of silver.
Most of the maids chose to leave the Wuwei Hou Mansion. After all, one thousand taels of silver was a huge amount of wealth. Even if they would be gossiped about if they left the Hou Mansion, they could move the family out of Qintian City and find another place to settle down.
Even Lu Ping, whom Sikong Wu favored recently, chose to leave, leaving Lu Zhu alone.
Although Sikong Wu¡¯s personality has changed a lot now, and he is not as moody as Sikong Wu before, the bad impression accumulated over the years is difficult to change, and the bad impression may have sprouted at some point.
Sikongwu kept smiling bitterly in his heart. It seemed that his character still needed to be improved. Luzhu's staying gave him some comfort. He secretly decided that no matter what happened in the future, he could not let this little girl down.
He had mentioned to Lu Zhu that he should be freed from his status as a maid, but he didn¡¯t know why Lu Zhu didn¡¯t agree. Anyway, Sikong Wu didn¡¯t treat her as a servant, so forget it.
Time passed day by day in the arduous practice and the beautiful hot spring bath.
The Spirit Turtle Breathing Technique practiced by Sikong Wu before was unable to cultivate the inner energy in the lower Dantian. Now it absorbed the Qi, blood and demon power of the three-eyed Qingpeng demon, and condensed it into a ball of blood mist in the Dantian, which was similar to the air ball in the eyebrow acupoint. As the turtle breathing skill began to develop, Sikong Wu discovered that the blood energy was the same as the internal energy, and could move with the mind and impact the acupoints.
The cultivation techniques in this world are divided into seven levels, namely the Immortal Saint Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang and the ordinary ordinary techniques. Each level is divided into upper, middle and lower grades.
Most of the soul beast warriors practice ordinary skills. Only those who have inherited the big families and powerful forces have more advanced mental skills. The Sikong family has been passed down for thousands of years, and the Cloud Splitting Technique and Cloud Splitting Spear passed down by the family are both heaven-level skills. , extremely powerful, but most of the heaven-level skills stop at the ninth-level Martial Emperor realm. Sikong Ba has been practicing for more than a hundred years, but he has not been able to enter the fourth-level Martial Saint realm. This may not be because of the restrictions on the level of the skills he cultivates.
After Sikong Wu had just absorbed the energy and blood of the three-eyed Qingpeng demon, Sikong Ba took Sikong Wu to the secret room and formally taught him the Cloud Splitting Technique.
"Splitting Cloud Jue" is the foundation of the Sikong family's inheritance. The cultivation method is extremely clever. Thirty-six soul caves can be opened in the body to store soul power. When all the soul caves are filled up, the "Splitting Cloud Jue" can be cultivated to the state of great achievement.
Sikong Ba said to Sikong Wu in an extremely serious tone: "Heaven-level skills are the biggest secret of our Sikong family. The ancestral teachings are passed down from male to female and from within to outsiders. Wu'er must remember this! Don't look at the heaven-level mental skills. There is the Immortal Saint Heart Technique. It is said that the Immortal Level Heart Technique can shatter the void and become an immortal immediately, but no one has done this at all, so only the Saint Level Heart Technique is better than the Heavenly Level Heart Technique!"
"Although the Cloud Splitting Technique is a low-grade technique among the heaven-level mental techniques, it is better because it is continuous and thick. Its power is not much worse than the middle-grade heaven-level technique. It can open up to thirty-six soul caves, even for the father. There are only thirty-three opened now. Wu'er has absorbed 80% of Qingpeng's energy and blood. Once he masters the Cloud Splitting Technique, he will definitely be able to break through the third-level Martial Emperor realm, achieve a true martial body, and even become an eleventh-level golden body martial artist. Holy Spirit, you must practice diligently and never slack off!"
Sikong Wu was confused. He saw that what was said in the Cloud Splitting Technique was similar to his Spirit Turtle Breathing Technique. It used soul power and internal strength to break open closed acupoints. Among them, the Cloud Splitting Technique had several soul acupoints. , clearly the Tanzhong point, the Rendu meridian, etc.
He couldn't help but secretly be shocked. From this point of view, these exercises for cultivating soul power are clearly what the earth calls internal strength and mental methods. Opening the thirty-six soul acupoints with the Splitting Cloud Jue is already a low-grade heaven-level exercise. The soul he cultivated The Turtle Breathing Technique requires breaking through fifty-three closed acupoints. Isn't it more advanced and mysterious than the Cloud Splitting Technique?
"I think this sentence suddenly appeared in his mind: "I think this little brother is born with amazing bones and is a martial arts prodigy. I have a martial arts secret book here"
¡°It¡¯s not such a coincidence, is it possible to find such powerful internal skills and mental methods on the Internet?¡± Sikong Wu really couldn¡¯t believe it.
Seeing that Sikong Wu was stunned, Sikong Ba couldn't help but straighten his face and said in a deep voice: "What's wrong with you!"
Sikong Wu trembled and came back to his senses. He suddenly thought of the skill he obtained after swallowing the Qingpeng soul, and asked: "Dad, the last time my child swallowed the Qingpeng soul, in addition to some Qingpeng fighting skills, there is also a I don¡¯t know where Qingpeng got the Dapeng Transformation Technique, but it is Qingpeng¡¯s own way of cultivating demonic power. I wonder if my child can practice this technique?¡±
Sikong Ba looked overjoyed and clapped his hands and said, "I never thought you would have such a great opportunity! Ordinary monsters can only practice by instinct. Only a few powerful monsters know how to practice, and even fewer of them can be obtained by humans. Young Master, this Dapeng's transformation secret isThe cultivation method of the tenth-grade three-eyed Qingpeng demon is definitely not as precious as the Cloud Splitting Technique. No wonder this Qingpeng can already transform into a human form at a young age, and its demonic power is astonishing. "
He then added: "It's just that the bodies of monsters are different from those of our human race. This Dapeng Transformation Technique can only be practiced by monsters from the Pengniao family. You should practice the Cloud Splitting Technique first, and then after absorbing the Qingpeng's energy and blood, you can give birth to it." The Qingpeng Soul Beast allows the Qingpeng Soul Beast to practice the Great Peng Transformation Technique, which is equivalent to you and the Soul Beast practicing at the same time, and the advancement can be more than twice as fast as that of ordinary Soul Beast warriors!"
Sikong Wu also knew something about soul beasts, and he always felt that the air mass formed by the jade pendant between his eyebrows had the same demonic power as the Qingpeng blood energy, especially now that it had absorbed most of the Qingpeng energy and blood, it was faintly showing a dark red color, which was similar to the Qingpeng energy. The blood mist transformed from blood looked more like it. I couldn't help but ask: "Dad, warriors can fuse multiple soul beasts, right?"
Sikong Ba nodded and said: "Yes, but merging multiple soul beasts does not necessarily have advantages. Not every soul beast understands the cultivation method like Qingpeng. The warrior himself needs to absorb the spiritual energy for support. The more soul beasts in the body, the better." If there are more, the burden on the warrior will be heavier, and the progress of martial arts will naturally be slower, but the combat skills will be much more than those of a warrior with a single soul beast."
"Your three-eyed Qingpeng soul beast can cultivate automatically, and you don't need to spend any effort to raise it. If your martial arts cultivation reaches a certain level, you can plant another soul beast and become a dual soul warrior."
Sikong Ba thought that Sikong Wu wanted to run away before he learned how to walk, and Qingpeng was thinking of planting another soul beast before his energy and blood had been refined.
Sikong Wu did not dare to tell Sikong Ba about the strange air mass in the acupuncture point between his eyebrows, so he practiced the Cloud Splitting Technique with Sikong Ba in the secret room.
The Cloud Splitting Technique is a secret of the Sikong family. Sikong Ba is afraid that Sikong's martial arts is not strong enough and cannot protect the secret book of the Cloud Splitting Technique. He does not allow General Sikong to take the Cloud Splitting Technique out of the secret room. He can only watch the Splitting Cloud Technique in the secret room. , even the food was brought by Sikong Ba himself.
Under Sikong Ba's guidance and with experience in practicing the Spirit Turtle Breathing Technique, Sikong Wu was very surprised at how quickly he practiced the Cloud Splitting Technique. In just half a month, Sikong Wu was able to successfully master the Cloud Splitting Technique. The secret circulates in a small circle, traveling through dozens of acupoints.
The Qingpeng Qi, blood and demon power in the body were slowly absorbed into the body by Si Kongwu. Si Kongwu found that the body had become much stronger, and the muscles and bones were full of elasticity, as tough as rhinoceros skin. If there were such powerful muscles on earth, Maybe the big man with the immortal jump might not be able to hurt him with a dagger.
What surprised Sikongwu was that the small Zhoutian circuit formed by the Spirit Turtle Breathing and Breathing Exercise on the eyebrow point of his Dantian was independent of the circuit in the lower Dantian of Splitting Cloud Technique. Si Kongwu tried to practice the Spirit Turtle Breathing and Breathing Exercise at the same time. With the Splitting Cloud Technique, he found that the energy consumption rate increased several times. After a week, he was so tired that he was sweating all over and had a splitting headache. However, the effect was more than double that of practicing a certain technique alone. Absorbing Qingpeng The speed of Qi and blood is also much faster.
The air mass between the eyebrows constantly nourishes Sikongwu's soul. Often after a week, if he takes a break or two for incense injection, Sikongwu can continue to practice. He simply keeps trying the two mental methods. In just three months, the blood in the Dantian Most of the fog was absorbed by Sikong Wu, and the rapid progress surprised Sikong Ba. He kept looking for nourishing elixirs, such as century-old ginseng and centuries-old Ganoderma lucidum to nourish Sikong Wu's body.
While absorbing the blood demon power of Qingpeng, Sikongwu released the soul power that he had refined, condensing a faint shadow of Qingpeng in the sea of ????Qi in Dantian, and unknowingly reached the first- and second-level soul-nurturing realm!
This three-eyed green roc phantom transformed by the essence and blood of the green roc is Sikong Wu's soul beast. After it is condensed, it will be in the realm of soul nourishment. It needs constant nourishment and growth. The body can change some of the green roc characteristics. When the phantom of Qingpeng materializes and escapes from the body, it will be the third-level Martial Emperor¡¯s Soul-Leaving Realm!
In the past three months, Sikong Wu has mostly been practicing in the secret room. Although the ghost beast has been born, the dark red color of the air mass between the eyebrows has not faded much. It seems that there is still a lot of Qingpeng essence and blood contained in it. .
What surprised Sikong Wu was that the shadow of a demonic beast actually appeared in the air between his eyebrows. However, this demonic beast's phantom was really strange. One moment it changed into the form of a green roc, and the other it turned out to be a strange tortoise. It could move between two places. changes between forms.
The air mass absorbed the energy and blood of the three-eyed green roc demon, and gave birth to a shadow of the green roc just like Sikong Wu's lower dantian. Sikong Wu could understand it, but what on earth was that strange turtle? It looked a little different from the turtles on the earth. It turned out to be a dragon head and a turtle body. Could it be because of the spirit turtle breathing skill?
However, this idea was quickly rejected by Sikong Wu. Kung Fu could not change the nature of the demonic beast's essence and blood. The only possibility was that the jade pendant he carried before was like the soul-sealing stone in this world, with the soul sealed inside. Beast spirit, this can explain the reason for the formation of the air mass. Maybe the dragon-headed turtle is the original appearance of the spirit sealed by the jade pendant.
Even though Sikong Wu had all kinds of doubts in his heart, he did not dare to tell Sikong Ba. Anyway, it seems that it will not do him any harm now. On the contrary, it can improve his martial arts cultivation level very quickly. In more than three months, he has gone from the initial state of integration. When you reach the second-level soul-nourishing realm, you can see the effect of this air mass.
Just when Sikong Wu was about to tell Sikong Ba that he had entered the second-level martial arts realm and asked Sikong Ba to teach him the second-level Cloud Splitting Technique, he saw Sikong Ba walking into the secret room with a gloomy expression.
Sikong Ba put down the meat and precious tonics in his hands and said in a deep voice: "Wu'er, drink this bowl of ginseng, poria, tiger bone soup while it's hot. My father has something to do and needs to leave the Hou Mansion for a few days, so you have to take care of yourself. You have to go outside to eat, and no one knows about this secret room except you and my father."
Sikong Wu drank the bitter ginseng, poria and tiger bone soup in one gulp. When he saw Sikong Ba¡¯s expression was not good, he couldn¡¯t help but ask: ¡°Dad, what happened?¡±
Seeing Sikong Wu¡¯s worried expression, Sikong Ba smiled and said, ¡°Wu¡¯er doesn¡¯t need to worry, it¡¯s just that something happened in Hongtong County down there, and my father needs to go and see it in person.¡±
Sikong Wu knew that things were definitely not as simple as Sikong Ba said, and he couldn't help but worry. Regardless of the fact that he is the father of his own body, Sikong Wu can now practice peacefully in the secret room and drink medicinal soup worth more than gold every day, all because of Wu Weihou. If anything happens to him, Sikong Wu will come It won't be easy to get there.
"Dad, what is going on? Wu'er has grown up now and is much more sensible than before. I hope I can share some of the worries for dad."
Sikong Ba nodded: "Actually, it's nothing. It's just that people from the county government below found many mummies in Hongtong County. All the energy and blood in their bodies were absorbed. It is probably the work of the fox demon."
He paused for a moment and then continued: "The fox demon is a strange species that can transform into a much easier form than other monsters. It especially likes to transform into beautiful women, seduce young men and devour their yang energy. It is difficult to judge its behavior, but Hong Tong Two second-level and sixth-level head catchers in the county were killed by a fox demon. Maybe this demon is a third-level demon emperor, so my father is planning to go there personally to capture this monster."
Qintian City has a large territory. In addition to Qintian City, there are seven counties and towns below that are the territory of Wuwei Marquis. If a murder occurs among them, the counties and towns cannot handle it on their own, so they naturally have to report it to Qintian City.
Sikong Wu thought for a moment and asked, "Dad, do you know whether that is a human warrior or a fox demon?"
"The fox demon is the best. The fox demon that can transform is likely to have the blood of a soul beast and is of a high grade. Capture it and train it. Wu'er will be in charge of the Hou Mansion in the future, which will help you."
A cold light flashed in his eyes: "If a human warrior dares to come to our Qin Tian City to cause trouble, I will definitely want her to know how she got the name Wuwei Hou!"
Qin Tiancheng's hundred-mile radius territory also has the title of Marquis of Wuwei, but Sikong Ba has made countless contributions to the empire in exchange for it. As the saying goes, one general's achievements are worth thousands of bones. These achievements are all piled up with bones. Wuwei Marquis is absolutely Not a good man or woman.
Although Sikong Wu is addicted to martial arts, he is not a person who can endure loneliness, especially when he comes here in a world with rich programs such as Earth. Although he used to practice for four or five hours every day, his longest training session did not exceed three consecutive days. God, after practicing in the secret room for so long, I finally reached the second level, and I wanted to go out for a walk.
¡°After all, his master told him that true martial arts cannot be achieved through hard work. Only by going out to gain experience, competing with other martial artists and absorbing the strengths of hundreds of schools can one achieve true martial arts mastery.
"Dad, I want to go to Hongdong County with you."
Sikong Ba shook his head and said decisively: "No! What we need to deal with when we go to Hongdong County may be the demon emperor of the seventh level or the strong man with the martial emperor cultivation level. You have just succeeded in planting a soul. How can you deal with the lowest first level warrior!"
Sikong Wu looked at Sikong Ba and explained: "Dad! Flowers in the room cannot withstand the wind and rain. If a child is afraid of danger and stays in the Marquis Mansion without experiencing hardships, how can he achieve the Taoism of the Martial Saint? The body of a true martial artist, and the child has already entered the second-level realm, condensing the phantom of Qingpeng. The martial arts realm has improved too quickly, lacks mental experience, and has an unstable foundation, which is not good for future martial arts realm improvements."
Sikong Ba's face showed a trace of relaxation. He naturally understood this truth. However, Sikong Wu was his only son. It was easy to say, but it was difficult to actually let Sikong Wu go out for training. In the past, Sikong Wu was wandering around Qintian City, surrounded by people who followed him. A guard with strong martial arts skills.
Sikong Wu took the opportunity and continued: "My father's martial arts skills are amazing. Even in the Qingtian Empire, there are not many people who can compare with my father. How can my child be in danger with you by your side?"
Sikong Ba pondered for a moment and then said: "Have you really condensed the phantom of Qingpeng? Have you reached the second-level martial arts realm?"
?? nodded and said: "The child dare not deceive his father."
Sikong Ba stretched out his hand and with a flash of golden light, a short steel spear in the corner three feet away was caught by him in the air.
He handed the short spear to Sikong Wu: "You stab the black soft iron statue and show it to my father."
Black soft iron is a relatively precious metal with amazing toughness and resilience. It is usually mixed with other metals to forge soft armor and soft swords, which are weapons that require a certain degree of flexibility. There is a piece of pure metal with an astonishing thickness in the secret room. The figure forged from black soft iron was what Sikong Ba used to practice the Cloud Splitting Spear.
The value of this statue made of black soft iron alone exceeds ten thousand taels of gold, which shows how rich Marquis Wuwei¡¯s family is!
Sikong Wu had secretly tested the power of his Xingyi Dragon Fist with this mysterious soft iron statue before. The dragon raised its head easily and left a palm print on Du Haifeng's stainless steel armor. After planting the soul beast, its power increased several times. Unexpectedly, he couldn't leave any traces on the mysterious soft iron statue. Knowing the tenacity of this mysterious soft iron, he didn't dare to be careless at the moment. He raised his inner energy in his dantian, and a light blue green roc loomed between his eyebrows. It was the low-level warrior using his soul. The performance of strength!
After entering the seventh-level Martial Emperor realm, one can use soul power at will, and can hide the mark of the soul beast between the eyebrows. However, once a martial artist or martial artist with a low level of cultivation activates soul power, the soul beast energy and blood will be aroused in the body, and the mark of the soul beast will be hidden between the eyebrows. After condensing the soul beast mark, experienced warriors can roughly judge the opponent's martial arts cultivation level from the brightness of the soul beast mark.
It's just that the fused soul beasts are different, how much soul beast energy and blood is absorbed, the skills they practice are surprising, etc. Even warriors of the same level will have great differences in strength. Like Sikong Wu, who absorbed the three eyes of a tenth-grade soul beast. Qingpeng Qi and blood demon power, practicing the heaven-level mental method Cloud Splitting Technique and the more mysterious Spirit Turtle Breathing Technique. After years of nourishing the body with elixirs, the strength is completely comparable to that of a second-level or fourth-level martial artist!
Therefore, Sikong Ba will not let Sikong Wu only show his soul power. Xuan Ruan Iron is the best object to measure Sikong Wu's true strength. Even with Sikong Ba's level of strength, he cannot penetrate this life-sized Xuan Ruan with one shot. Iron statue!
The light blue Qingpeng soul power enveloped the fine steel short spear. Sikong Wu shouted loudly, raised his wrist, and the short spear thrust out like lightning. With a pop, it landed on the heart of the mysterious soft iron statue!
A shocking huge earthquake was transmitted from the short spear to Sikong Wu's tiger's mouth, which made Sikong Wu's whole arm numb. He quickly used his soul power to circulate his arms, and then he felt better. He took back the short spear and found that a mysterious soft iron statue was left on his chest and abdomen. A stab mark half an inch deep.
What surprised Sikong Wu was that the puncture mark was healing slowly, like a piece of plasticine with great elasticity.
When Sikong Ba saw the stab marks on the Xuan Soft Iron Statue, a hint of surprise appeared on his face. He nodded with a smile and said, "The more the Xuan Soft Iron's shape changes, the external force required increases exponentially. Even my father is not sure how to stab it with a single spear." Wearing this mysterious soft iron statue, you can leave half an inch of puncture marks on it, which is pretty good."
"In this case, I allow you to go to Hongdong County with my father, and I will also let you see how martial arts masters fight with high-level monsters."
Usually, the monsters and monster aliens of the first to third grades are considered to be low-level monsters, the fourth to sixth grades are mid-level monsters, and the seventh to ninth grades are upper-level demon kings. Monster beasts of tenth grade and above are already rare. If the Heavenly Demon and Demon Saint were allowed to grow up with the Three-Eyed Green Roc, their level of strength would definitely be higher than that of Sikong Ba who was in the ninth level of martial arts!
The energy and blood of the tenth-grade soul beast is an extremely important reason why Sikong¡¯s martial arts cultivation has progressed so rapidly!
