Wrongly practicing evil skills, imitating the laws of nature.

Chapter 2 The Development of Great Medicine

Duan Yun opened his eyes and was filled with joy.

This was the first time, and he succeeded!

Duan Yun had the illusion that he was daydreaming.

According to the "True Explanation of the Jade Sword", this breath flows upward along the Dantian, through the "Zhongshu", "Shenzhu" and "Dumai" major meridians, and then enters the "Yangxi", "Xiabai" and "Shousanli" acupoints in the arms, and will gradually become like serous liquid.

The true qi that is like serum is the true qi of the jade sword.

As soon as that "liquid-like" feeling appears, it means that the true Qi has been formed.

And he just did it!
Could it be that what the old man said was true? Am I really a rare talent in swordsmanship?
Duan Yun drank a bowl of water to calm his joyful mood.

Since he had won the first battle, he chose to press on.

The true energy just now was too weak after all. Not to mention training it to be as strong as a raging python, it should at least be thicker.

After all, if your true energy is too thin, you may be ridiculed as a thin dog by your peers in the future.

With breathing and Qi circulation, the Qi flowing in Duan Yun's body became more and more obvious, like a gurgling stream.

Suddenly, he had an illusion that several people were breathing in and out with him in the nine shallow and one deep pattern.

The faces of these people overlapped, as if they were whispering constantly.

Duan Yun opened his eyes, a dim light was on the table, and everything returned to normal.

He couldn't help wondering, "Hey, is it because he has been practicing for too long and has become mentally distracted?"

Almost at the same time, a pair of twin brothers dozens of miles away opened their eyes, still maintaining the "Jade Sword Post" posture.

Both brothers look like middle-aged uncles. They look big and strong, with a heroic look on their faces, giving them the feeling of being chivalrous warriors wandering around the world.

At this time, the man on the left moved his nose, burped, and said, "Brother, it smells so good. I just finished eating and there is a new big medicine. You have a good talent."

The man on the right responded, "We can't be impatient with the free-range medicine. It has just sprouted, and it's such a good seedling. Let it grow a little longer, then my two brothers will share it equally and make a breakthrough in one fell swoop."

"That's great. Our heroic journey will surely be smoother."

"That's natural, hahaha."

A heroic laugh was heard from the attic.

Since he had practiced the "Jade Sword Post" too much and had developed hallucinations, Duan Yun decided to start practicing the second move of "The True Meaning of the Jade Sword", "Water Moon Slash".

Water Moon Slash refers to slashing the Jade Sword Qi cultivated in the body through the sword body, forming a shape like water moon.

In layman's terms, it is a water-moon-shaped sword energy.

After seeing this, Duan Yun became more certain of the authenticity of the secret book, because this was what the notes next to the pages told him.

This means that someone has practiced this secret book and reached a certain level, and then wrote down his experience notes.

This senior is such a good person.

As long as one has cultivated the Jade Sword Qi, the "Water Moon Slash" is a natural thing. It is just a matter of extending the Qi channels to the Zhongchong and Shaochong points and rushing it out from the sword tip.

Duan Yun said charge!

But he didn't have a sword now, so he could only go to the kitchen and get a kitchen knife instead.

At this time, Duan Yun took a deep breath, concentrated his energy into his dantian, and swept out with a kitchen knife!

The air in front was twisted, and a crescent-shaped stream of air flew out from the blade and hit the earth wall one meter away.

I am!

Duan Yun walked over quickly, fearing that he might break his own wall.

结果
Only a little dust fell.

Yes, dust, not dust.

When the crescent-shaped energy broke through the knife, it shone brightly and made a terrifying sound, but who would have thought it was just a show-off.

"It shouldn't be like this." Duan Yun muttered.

Is this sword energy that can’t even kill a mosquito worthy of being called sword energy?

Duan Yun tries again!

This time, he exerted more force, and the sword energy became wider. If the previous sword energy was a crescent, then this time it was a real half moon.

With a click, the straw curtain of the thatched hut sank slightly inward where the crescent sword energy passed, and then returned to normal.

Duan Yun panted and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Still couldn't kill the mosquito. Duan Yun couldn't help but wonder if the jade sword's true energy was too thin and not strong enough.

So he went back to practice the first move, "Jade Sword Posture", to strengthen his Qi.

Duan Yun practiced hard for three consecutive days.

The progress of the Jade Sword Qi is actually quite good. From being as thin as a thread at the beginning to being as strong as a rushing stream now, the power of the Water Moon Sword Qi still hasn't changed much.

Not to mention killing people with sword energy in novels, even brushing off the dust is difficult.

Duan Yun didn't know that it was very difficult to cultivate true Qi using ordinary methods. Even a person with good talent would need at least several years. To transform the true Qi into sword Qi would take even longer.

In a sense, "The True Explanation of the Jade Sword" is a different kind of "magic skill" that allows you to be the first to cultivate true energy and sword energy.

However, the sword energy and true energy trained in this way are relatively weak and need to be replenished.

If you want to replenish the deficiency and turn it into strength, you have to take medicine.

The "True Explanation of the Jade Sword" that he had read was actually only half of it, the half that could cultivate true Qi and sword Qi. The other half talked about how to treat the sword cultivator who had cultivated true Qi and sword Qi as a great medicine and use unique skills to completely consume and absorb it.

As long as you absorb the elixir, you can quickly increase the power of your true Qi and sword Qi, and replenish the deficiency to gain the fullness.

In order to motivate "Dayao" to practice diligently, this book "True Explanation of the Jade Sword" actually also has notes specifically encouraging "Dayao" to continue practicing, saying that if one concentrates on practicing sword for four or five months, changes will occur.

Four or five months is the time when the medicinal herbs are at their most juicy and delicious when harvested.

Unfortunately, this secret book had been passed on countless times, and the annotations were covered with stains, so Duan Yun couldn't see it clearly.

He had no idea that he was becoming a great medicine for others.

Seeing that the power of the sword energy was increasing to almost nothing, although Duan Yun couldn't figure it out for the time being, he didn't want to give up.

He thought he had a good talent in swordsmanship. It didn't make sense that he could quickly cultivate true energy and sword energy but couldn't quickly increase their power.

There must be something wrong.

At night, Duan Yun was cooking Mapo Tofu.

Even after traveling through time, he still likes Sichuan cuisine, which focuses on bold and open styles.

If it’s not fresh enough, add lard; if it’s not spicy enough, add chili peppers; if it’s not spicy enough, add Sichuan peppercorns.

As long as the ingredients are sufficient, it is difficult to have a bad dish.

What about the sword energy?

His Water Moon Sword Qi is not powerful enough, is it because he doesn't have enough materials?
What else can sword energy contain?

Duan Yun has always been worried that maybe there was something wrong with the first page of the secret book, which resulted in the sword energy having little power.

After all, the acupuncture point map on that page was not clear, and some of the words were also unclear.

Outside the window, the night is as cool as water, and the moonlight falls on the courtyard like frost.

Duan Yun suddenly had an idea.

Moonlight!

The second move of the Jade Sword is called "Water Moon Slash". Could this move be related to the moon?
"Jade Sword Posture" is based on standing posture exercises and is a form of breathing exercise to train Qi.

When breathing, he could clearly feel the air around him entering the meridians of his body.

If the air can be breathed in and out, why can’t moonlight be breathed in and out?
In novels, isn't it common for people to absorb moonlight to practice magical skills?
The previous Tuna page was partially covered by oil stains, so these details might have been missed.

Want to try it?

Just give it a try!
Duan Yun finished eating the Mapo Tofu and decided to give it a try, so during the breathing process, he was no longer obsessed with breathing in and out air.

After breathing in and out for a while, he could already feel many details of the air.

For example, temperature, humidity, floating pollen, dust, and an exceptionally clear atmosphere.

He could sense that the clear and bright energy was the key to forming the Jade Sword Qi.

No one taught him what it was and the secret book didn't explain it either. Duan Yun could only understand it in his own way and attributed it to something like the spiritual energy of heaven and earth in novels.

And what about Yuehua?

Before, he had never cared about the moonlight and didn't know what it was like.

But when Duan Yun began to pay attention to it, he found that the moonlight was cool and moist, like the spiritual energy of heaven and earth covered with a slight frost.

So he spit it out into his body and sank it into his dantian.

Duan Yun, who was standing with his eyes closed and breathing, did not see that the moonlight, which was originally as bright as light, suddenly turned into a milky white liquid and entered his body.
