Chapter 69: The Real Disintegrating Poisonous Body
It was similar to what Li Yan guessed. "The fragmented poisonous body is to separate every piece of flesh, blood, bone, and tendon in the body into small pieces, as if the body was dismembered and separated. Every small piece of flesh, blood, bone, and tendon was constantly tempered, changed, and separated again, making the body seem to be in pieces." These words were also said when Li Wuyi introduced it, but people who have not cultivated this poisonous body cannot truly understand the meaning. Li Yan understood that this physique had already formed in his body. As for what Li Wuyi said to him, "It was very painful when separated", he did not feel any pain, and he did not feel any discomfort until now. He subconsciously thought that when he formed this physique, it was completed in a coma, so he did not feel pain.
The reason why the jade slips did not introduce it was because the three predecessors did not encounter Li Yan's situation where the body was not formed at once. Their fragmented poisonous bodies were formed at once, not like Li Yan's, which were still connected, but just a little separated at the meridian nodes. Instead, each piece was formed separately, separated when exhaling, and gathered when inhaling. Through this movement method, they continued to grow and nourish each separated body, but when they were practicing, they would form a whole, flawless and perfect operation.
Simply put, Li Yan's fragmented poisonous body was actually a semi-finished product, or even a rough one, which was why Li Yan could not find the answer.
On the one hand, Li Yan did not dare to ask others for advice, which involved the biggest secret of his Guishui Xianmen; on the other hand, no one knew that Li Yan was actually a semi-finished product, and Li Yan himself only had a vague understanding of the real fragmented poisonous body. The so-called mystery of the authorities is just like this.
After analyzing this result, Li Yan began to plan the next step, which was how to truly separate the twelve meridians in his body. He was now the embryo of a fragmented poisonous body, which meant that the initial formation of his body was successful. Then he would either use his spiritual consciousness or his spiritual power. The worst possibility was that the incomplete formula of Master Ji or the backlash of Master Ji when he was dying could finally allow him to form a real fragmented poisonous body. He could find out the first two by trying them himself. If it was the latter two, he might not be able to solve it. However, at least he had a direction, but he could only guess whether this idea was right or wrong.
Li Yan stood up, went out to get a basin of clean water and washed his face to make himself more sober. Now he didn't dare to use the Yunyu technique to wash himself. First, he might not be able to cast a spell, and second, what was released might not be what. Although he saw in the classics that the toxins he released were harmless to the host, he didn't want to try it now.
After eating another Bigu Pill, Li Yan continued to rest for half an hour.
After entering the practice room again and calming down his mind, he began to carefully move his spiritual power to the separation node closest to Dantian. The next moment, he transformed the spiritual power into a knife and cut the gap. Since the spiritual power did not leak during the early practice, but began to leak in the later stage, it means that the spiritual power can expand the node gap, so he first chose to use spiritual power to split.
But as the knife cut, a heart-wrenching pain immediately attacked the brain. Li Yan groaned, and almost lost his mind. His consciousness collapsed, and sweat poured out in the next moment. His body was like a wash in just a moment. He trembled, endured the pain and concentrated his consciousness to explore. The node gap had expanded a little, and he couldn't help but feel happy, which meant that this method was feasible. As for whether the result would turn him into a corpse, Li Yan had made up his mind.
At that moment, he was very ruthless.
He continued to cut his heart. As Li Yan kept groaning and his body trembled like a sieve, time passed little by little...
A quarter of an hour later, Li Yan collapsed on the ground, gasping for breath. After resting for a long time, he found that he did not feel dying. He felt a little relieved, which meant that his previous action should not kill him immediately.
He sat cross-legged again with difficulty. In the previous moment, he seemed to have suffered the greatest punishment in the world, but in the end, only a piece was separated. Now he had to determine the result. If it didn't work, the current condition in his body might directly end his path to immortality. The action just now might completely end the possibility of spiritual power passing.
After concentrating his mind, Li Yan raised the spiritual energy in his Dantian and circulated it towards the node. Seeing the spiritual energy approaching little by little, but the two ends of the node were still independent like two cliffs, Li Yan's heart began to grow cold little by little. Perhaps his road to cultivating immortals was cut off by his whimsical behavior today, and there was no retreat. In the future, the spiritual energy would no longer be able to circulate around the body, and the remaining spiritual energy in his body would slowly disappear.
Just when he thought that he might be beaten back to a mortal tomorrow, the slowly moving spiritual power finally reached the end of the cliff. But the next moment, the flesh and blood meridians that were separated at the other end of the cliff had instantly moved to the other end, and the next moment the spiritual power flowed smoothly. Li Yan didn't care about being surprised, and hurriedly used his spiritual sense to detect the size of the spiritual power. After a moment, he couldn't help but be ecstatic. The spiritual power didn't decrease at all, but instead became a little more refined during the operation. This was exactly the result of cultivation. When the spiritual power became more and more pure, it reached a certain level and the amount would increase again.
Li Yan took a long breath and dispersed the spiritual power in his body. Now he has confirmed that this method is really feasible, and he is really relieved. Then his face wrinkled again as if he had eaten countless coptis. There are still eleven nodes that need to be separated. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but shiver.
Twenty hours later, Li Yan was lying on the ground with his legs spread out. The ground was already wet. Some places were filled with a lot of sweat like a stream. When Li Yan thought of the pain during this period, he had the urge to commit suicide directly. After each separation, he had to drink a lot of water to replenish it, and then immediately proceed to the next separation. He didn't dare to rest for too long. He had to complete it as soon as possible while his nerves were numb from the pain. But he had to replenish the water lost in his body, otherwise he would die of dehydration before he could complete the separation.
After Li Yan relaxed, he didn't even want to move a finger, let alone go back to the lounge. He just lay on the ground and fell asleep. He slept for two days and two nights.
When Li Yan woke up, he was already full of energy. He sat up again, crossed his legs and regulated his breathing. A quarter of an hour later, a burst of wild laughter came out of the practice room and echoed in the courtyard. If it weren't for the formation on the courtyard wall, it would have been heard a mile or two away.
After he woke up, the first thing he did was to make sure whether his practice was normal. After he circulated a cycle, he really recovered his normal practice a few days ago, which made him
pleasantly surprised and laughed out loud, as if he had vented the depression in his chest for the past few days.
In the following days, Li Yan temporarily gave up the practice of immortal arts. In addition to practicing the Guishui Sutra, he was wholeheartedly exploring the twelve separated meridians and flesh in his body.
In this way, Li Yan spent four months in a busy and fulfilling cultivation process. In addition to the gradual improvement of his cultivation of Guishui Zhenjing, he also carefully read the summary and experience in the three fragmented poisonous jade slips in his sea of consciousness, and gained a new understanding of the twelve separated meridians in his body.
The twelve meridians in his body are different toxin sources. They will be released with spiritual power. Some are highly corrosive, some will release foggy poison, and some will form different poisons when encountering moonlight, sunlight, or even starlight. Some are colorless and tasteless. If these poisons are made from herbs, one poison may be made from one or several poisonous herbs, or it can only be formed by refining, which is incredible and weird.
Normally, these twelve toxins are separated and nourished by their own movement with breathing, but the jade slips explain that this nourishment is not the best way. The best way is to stimulate them with spiritual consciousness every day, so that their activity can be strengthened. It is said that this way, they can be slowly separated into more small pieces of toxins before the foundation-building stage.
Li Yan tried this method and it was simply unbearable. It was not the pain caused by the twelve separated meridians, but the spiritual consciousness. After stimulating those meridians for a period of time, it seemed that the spiritual consciousness was infected with the poison. It was either a splitting headache or nausea. It was like thousands of knives stirring in the brain at the same time. All kinds of pain made Li Yan feel like he was in heaven. After trying a few times, he wanted to give up and let this poisonous body grow naturally. He just needed to slowly control and use it.
Just when Li Yan wanted to give up using his consciousness to stimulate the separated meridians, he found that his consciousness actually increased after stimulating those separated bodies. This made him a little puzzled at first, but then he was replaced by joy. He now knew how rare and precious the method of cultivating consciousness was. Although the Guishui Sutra also has the effect of enhancing consciousness, through his cultivation over this period of time, it seems that the consciousness will only increase after the realm is upgraded, and it is not something you can increase just because you want it to.
Now he suddenly found this method of increasing consciousness. How could he give it up? After biting it, he set aside an hour every day to use his consciousness to stimulate those separated meridians. If he used his consciousness for more time, he felt that he might have a nervous breakdown and go crazy. After a few days, the consciousness was indeed growing at an extremely slow rate, and the separated meridians were more active in the body, as if they could separate themselves with another stimulation.
Li Yan had some other thoughts when he looked at these active meridians and flesh. His action could make these meridians and flesh more active, but his body was not strengthened at all. According to his idea, his flesh was stimulated, so his body should also be strengthened.
However, he immediately threw these aside. There was no such good thing in the world. All the benefits fell to you alone. Now he had this method of increasing his consciousness, and he was very satisfied, although the growth was abnormally slow.
Four months later, after mastering the characteristics of various toxins in the twelve separated meridians, Li Yan's next plan was how to slowly use these things skillfully. In this way, Li Yan was even busier. He practiced the exercises, stimulated the separated meridians and flesh with his consciousness, and practiced immortal arts with toxins. His time was full every day. He often went back to the lounge to sleep for a few hours after several days. He usually used meditation to replace sleep.
During this time, Wei Chongran also sent a message through the sect token to ask Li Yan whether his cultivation problem had been solved. After Li Yan replied that it had been solved, he sent another encouraging message and told him that the sect had provided him with special resources. Five low-level spirit stones and two bottles of "Spiritual Ascension Pills" would be given out every month. These were specially distributed by the sect to help him practice "Dismembered Poison Body" better. He didn't say much about the rest, and never disturbed his cultivation again. This made Li Yan feel a little good about this master. From these few months, this master didn't seem to have any evil intentions, but this was just his current view and couldn't completely eliminate his suspicion.
At the same time, he also knew that the sect had tilted some resources towards him, and he sighed in his heart, but he still didn't know that if his qualifications were above three spiritual roots, then the sect would not tilt some resources so insignificantly.
As for the other senior brothers and sisters, he met the fourth and second senior brothers a few times when he went to the main hall to collect the monthly spirit stones and fasting pills. He didn't see any of the others. It was said that they were either out for training or in seclusion. Including the seventh senior brother, he also started seclusion in the past two months. It is said that he will start to break through the foundation-building stage in the near future. As for the handsome eldest senior brother, he has not come out since he went into seclusion a few months ago, but the chores said that they saw the eldest senior brother go out a few times at night, but he always looked anxious.
It was just that when he went to collect resources every month, the fourth senior sister and the second senior brother looked at him a little strangely. When he asked, they also told him the use of the "Spiritual Ascension Pill". This kind of pill has a great auxiliary effect when upgrading the small realm in the Condensation Stage. Usually, only the outer sect elite disciples can get two bottles a year, and he has two bottles a month. This made them look up to Li Yan. The second senior brother patted Li Yan like a bear and gave him a thumbs up, which made Li Yan's face accompany him while he kept breathing coldly.
As for the other disciples of the other four peaks, they have no relationship with Li Yan at present. He doesn't know them, and they will not come to him.
A few months passed, and Li Yan had some problems. Of course, it was not about cultivation, but about the place where he practiced. There was no problem with meditation and practice in this courtyard and practice room. But when he started to practice immortal arts, problems occurred in both the practice room and the courtyard. The reason was of course the fragmented toxins that came out with the spiritual power. After destroying two sets of stone tables and stone benches, Li Yan decided to go out and find a place where he could practice immortal arts.
After thinking about it, Li Yan decided that with his current low cultivation level, he could not go outside the sect. He heard that there were monsters everywhere outside the sect, which was not something he could deal with now. So he had to focus on Xiaozhu Peak. Xiaozhu Peak was so big, and he just needed a secluded place that would not disturb others. Such a place should be easy to find.
