Chapter 342 Shaping
The chill was like a tide, overflowing continuously.
Lin Mu was lying on a snow-white jade bed, holding a purple jade slip in his hand.
"Quenching Meridians"!
A hint of hesitation flashed across his face, and then Lin Mu's expression became firm. He gritted his teeth and operated the "Five Elements Heart Method" to input spiritual power into the jade slip. In a burst of excruciating pain, the purple jade slip flashed, and a text appeared in Lin Mu's mind.
Regardless of the pain in his meridians, Lin Mu quickly gathered his mind and began to concentrate on studying the jade slip.
"Quenching Meridians" is a secret method, extremely rare, and ordinary people can't get it at all. Given the difficulty of practicing secret methods, ordinary people can't practice successfully even if they get it. It's a rare opportunity, and Lin Mu is busy reading eagerly and soon immersed in it.
The entire "Quenching Meridians" is explained in great detail. Every cultivation essential, every cultivation bottleneck, and every cultivation taboo are described in detail, as if there is a peerless master to guide him. Lin Mu reads it very smoothly without any difficulty. He reads it over and over again five times in one breath! After five times, he is still not at ease, so he reads it three more times!
As it concerns his future and destiny, he dare not take it lightly. Every time he reads, he is extremely serious, and every time he reads, he has new insights.
After the cultivators reach the foundation-building stage, it is common to remember everything they have seen, but Lin Mu does not dare to be careless. He simply keeps reading. With his full understanding, the contents of the jade slip are gradually understood thoroughly. Until he is sure that he will not gain anything no matter how he reads, he stops reading, opens his eyes, and puts away the jade slip.
Over and over again, he has read "Quenching Veins Jue" dozens of times!
These dozens of readings have brought him great shock.
Secret method, worthy of being called secret method, compared with general skills, the practice of "Quenching Meridians Jue" is more peculiar, unrestrained, and the effect is incredible and unbelievable.
Of course, the difficulty of practice is also far beyond the general skills.
Even though Lin Mu read thousands of jade slips, he was shocked by the descriptions in the jade slips.
"When practicing for the first time, self-harm meridians, warm with spiritual power until healing, after thousands of times, there will be a small success..."
"Meridians are broken, spiritual power overflows, and the excess is damaged and the deficiency is supplemented."
"If the cultivation is damaged, it is like a useless person. Don't practice in a quiet place. If you move a little, it is very easy to lose your power and die!"
...
Sentences like this are everywhere, too numerous to mention. Lin Mu was even more shocked when he thought about it.
In the eyes of ordinary people, broken meridians are already a very serious injury. Even if you are as skilled as the Ice Fairy, you can only have a 60% chance of being able to heal. But if you want to achieve a small success in this "Quenching Meridians Art", just to practice the first level, shaping the body, you need to self-harm your meridians, and the meridians must be broken thousands of times before you can achieve a small success.
Thousands of times!
Now, just this time, Lin Mu felt unbearable pain. If it weren't for his strong will, I'm afraid he would have fainted long ago, and there would be no mind to practice the secret method.
When practicing the "Quenching Meridians Art", no one can disturb you.
According to the jade slip, if someone comes to disturb you when you have damaged your meridians and your cultivation is seriously damaged, it is very easy to lose your power and die!
The slightest movement will lead to death!
Lin Mu was awed in his heart and became more cautious about the "Quenching Meridians Art".
This secret method seems very tempting, but it is fatal everywhere. If you are not careful, your life will be in danger.
Fortunately, this secret method was taught to him by Yin Xin himself. Yin Xin naturally knows the pros and cons much better than him.
With Yin Xin, he doesn't need to worry about anyone coming to disturb him.
After closing his eyes and recalling the essentials of cultivation, Lin Mu immediately began to practice the "Quenching Meridians Technique".
The essence of the "Quenching Meridians Technique" is to break and then build, to damage the meridians thousands of times, to heal thousands of times, to temper the meridians of the cultivator.
No wonder Yin Xin said that as long as the practice of the "Quenching Meridians Technique" is successful, there is a 100% chance of recovery.
The meridians are broken thousands of times, which is beyond the imagination of ordinary people.
The circulation of spiritual power is extremely obscure and difficult. Lin Mu circulated the "Quenching Meridians Technique", and the spiritual power in his body flowed through the meridians. At the broken parts of the meridians, spiritual power continued to seep into them from time to time, slowly repairing the injuries of the meridians. What is incredible is that the meridians are slowly healed under the stimulation of spiritual power!
At the broken parts, spiritual power kept pouring in, slowly recovering at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Lin Mu endured the great pain and circulated his spiritual power, with sweat rolling down his forehead.
Waves of cramps, heart-eating and bone-eating, attacked him.
Every time the spiritual power moves forward an inch, there will be great pain, which is a hundred times more painful than a needle prick!
Lin Mu gritted his teeth and tried his best to stimulate the spiritual power. Under his strong stimulation, the spiritual power continued to spread like a tide. Wherever the spiritual power tide passed, the broken meridians were slowly healing.
The meridians in the body of the cultivator are crisscrossed. The spiritual power tide only repaired half of the meridians before it was exhausted. Lin Mu stopped to rest for a while, then regrouped and stimulated the spiritual power to repair again. For a meridian, he had to stimulate the spiritual power at least twice in a row before it could be repaired and healed.
Every time he stimulated the spiritual power, he had to endure great pain.
It took Lin Mu six hours to straighten out all the meridians in his body and roughly repaired and healed them.
What surprised him was that after the meridians were repaired this time, his meridians were obviously better than before! The spiritual power flowed in the meridians, very smoothly, and the mind moved at will. As soon as the mind arrived, the spiritual power had arrived!
What surprised him even more was that after this repair, his spiritual power was consumed a lot, and it had dropped to the late stage of foundation building!
Directly dropped from the peak of foundation building to the late stage of foundation building!
Lin Mu was also shocked, but he was relieved when he thought of what was said in the jade slip.
The jade slip had already introduced that when a cultivator first practiced the "Quenching Meridians Technique", because the meridians had never absorbed spiritual power before, they were extremely hungry and thirsty, and the first time consumed the most spiritual power! The later the spiritual power consumption will gradually decrease, and the later stage is really to use spiritual power to temper the toughness of the meridians and strengthen the meridians in order to be able to perform sword skills, and the consumption of spiritual power is not as good as at the beginning.
But the first time he practiced, his cultivation level dropped so much, the drop was too much!
You know, although his current cultivation level is only at the peak of foundation building, under the unity of the five elements, the spiritual power in his body is the same as that of the peak cultivators of the spiritual silence period, and is not inferior. This means that if a cultivator of the spiritual silence period comes to practice, his cultivation level will drop directly from the peak of the spiritual silence period to the late spiritual silence period!
After this repair, the five distinct spiritual powers in his meridians were not as dense as before, but much thinner.
Lin Mu felt a pain in his heart and was very reluctant to let go.
But this reluctance was quickly forgotten by him.
Once the arrow is shot, there is no turning back. He has now begun to practice the "Quenching Meridians Art". If he cannot reach the first level, the Shaping Realm within a month, not only will his cultivation be lost, but his meridians will also shrink!
He has no time to feel pain!
Shaping is extremely difficult to practice.
The meridians are damaged thousands of times within a month!
He now spends six hours, but only completes one time!
This is the result of his meridians being broken, saving the process of damaging the meridians!
If he wants to reach that unattainable thousand times, he must damage and repair his meridians at least thirty times a day!
The road ahead is long and arduous.
Time waits for no one. Without any hesitation, Lin Mu activates the "Quenching Meridians Art" and immediately begins the second practice.
Under the stimulation of the "Quenching Meridians Art", the spiritual power in the body suddenly became disordered, violent and violent, and the meridians continued to vibrate. Under the maintenance of the "Quenching Meridians Art", the meridians stabilized and vibrated at a certain amplitude, maintaining a relative balance.
But suddenly, the spiritual power in the meridians burst out all at once, and the spiritual power shot towards the meridians like a sword, and the previous vibration balance was instantly broken!
Swish! Swish!
The spiritual power surged, and the meridians cracked inch by inch!
The heart-piercing pain came suddenly like a tide.
Lin Mu almost fainted in this wave of pain.
He bit his tongue hard, urged his consciousness with all his strength, and tried his best to endure and survive this wave of attacks.
After the severe pain, Lin Mu was very quick and began to repair quickly.
This time, the repair was much more familiar than the last time. He only took five hours to repair and heal the meridians.
Of course, this kind of healing is only a preliminary healing. It is only that the wound is no longer cracked and the spiritual power can flow normally in the meridians. It is far from being truly healed. If not, his spiritual power would not be so easy to shatter the meridians.
This consumption was also extremely shocking.
After this time, Lin Mu's cultivation level dropped directly to the middle stage of foundation building!
Now, Lin Mu could no longer remain calm.
Why is this happening?
According to Yin Xin, he practiced the first level of "Quenching Meridians" and his cultivation level only dropped to the early stage of foundation building. But now, he has just practiced twice, and his cultivation level has dropped to the middle stage of foundation building! If this trend continues, he will run out of spiritual power and it will be difficult to practice the first level of "Quenching Meridians"!
Recalling the contents of the jade slip, Lin Mu seemed to have realized something.
Then, he started practicing again, no longer caring about the consumption of spiritual power.
As expected, he only took four hours to repair it for the third time, and his cultivation level only dropped from the middle stage of foundation building to the early stage of foundation building and slightly above the middle stage of foundation building.
The downward trend has obviously weakened!
After that, Lin Mu continued to damage his meridians, and each time he endured the severe pain and kept running "Quenching Meridians" to repair it.
Until later, his whole body was numb.
He had experienced so much pain that he got used to it.
The meridians were broken, which was a very serious injury, but after twenty times, Lin Mu was able to face it calmly.
Twenty times took Lin Mu two whole days!
After two days, he was able to repair it once every hour!
But this was still a long way from the goal of more than thirty times.
Lin Mu did not have any rest at all. He had to work very hard every time. As soon as the meridians healed, they would immediately vibrate and break again!
Over and over again, the cycle never stopped.
Time kept passing. After half a month, Lin Mu was able to do it, and each repair only took half an hour.
But at this time, his cultivation had already declined to the late stage of Qi Refining!
In the late stage of Qi Refining, the spiritual power in the body is completely different from that in the foundation-building stage, and it is consumed very quickly.
After twenty-five days, Lin Mu found that it became difficult to shatter his meridians every time.
But he did not relax at all!
Every time the meridians healed, he would use all his spiritual power to shatter them.
After 28 days, his cultivation had dropped to the middle stage of Qi Refining, but he was still some distance away from the shaping mentioned in the jade slip.
His meridians did not change to the same color as the spiritual power as described in the "Quenching Meridians Art".
On the 29th day, Lin Mu worked even harder.
On this day, he damaged his meridians a hundred times!
His cultivation had already declined to the early stage of Qi Refining!
On the 30th day, Lin Mu's spiritual power was seriously insufficient. It took half an hour to shatter his meridians each time!
But he did not give up!
His cultivation was being consumed bit by bit.
After Lin Mu had spent all his strength to shatter his meridians for the last time, he gritted his teeth and circulated his spiritual power to repair his meridians. To his surprise, the spiritual power in his body was like a funnel, pouring into his meridians non-stop!
As soon as the meridians healed, the spiritual power in his body was completely exhausted!
Lin Mu hurriedly closed his eyes and looked inward, and found that all the meridians in his body had become crystal clear and shining with five-color light!
It was the first level of "Quenching Meridians Art", shaping!
