I Killed Gods and Demons in Song Dynasty

Chapter 95: Breakthrough Spirit Refining
Li Qingyun was quite puzzled by the results of his divination.

The question he asked was: "Which technique in the library is most suitable for me..."

As a result, among so many third-level martial arts techniques in the library, he happened to get a book called [Xiantian Wuji Gong] which had no sequel.

On the one hand, this kind of martial arts that stops at the fourth level would greatly increase the difficulty of his future advancement, and did not meet the qualifier of "most suitable for him".

But on the other hand, there will never be any mistakes in the supernatural power's peek into the secrets of heaven. This has been tested repeatedly and there is no doubt about it.

Well this means two things.

First, even if he chose the Xiantian Wuji Gong, he would have a great chance to get the opportunity and obtain the subsequent skills.

This opportunity may come from the mission of rescuing the Old Mother of Mount Li, or it may come from other means of his own. It is still unknown at present, and there are too many possibilities, so it is impossible to ask for divination accurately.

Second, perhaps the divination ability foresaw that he might switch to other paths in the future, so the need for subsequent martial arts techniques was not urgent, so the strongest technique at this stage was given priority.

Li Qingyun pondered for a while, thinking silently in his mind, and finally decided to follow the result of his divination. He said to Yang Paifeng:
"Since it is destined that I have a connection with this technique, I will choose it."

Yang Paifeng nodded. He was not surprised at his choice. He was even happy to see him practicing the inheritance of the Mother of Mount Li.

That would mean that Li Qingyun's fate had intersected with that of the "demigod" of the seventh realm to some extent, and they would inevitably be deeply involved in the future, and this might be the opportunity to rescue the Mother of Mount Li.

After making his choice, Li Qingyun looked at the time and felt that there was still plenty of time, so without any delay, he sat cross-legged on the cushion in the library and began to practice this secret martial arts technique.

Upon seeing this, Yang Paifeng tacitly left the library and stood outside the door to protect him.

[Remaining Qi and blood: two hundred and forty-nine souls].

Li Qingyun first looked at the remaining energy and blood he had, then opened the book and began to read it carefully.

Although this set of skills contains profound meanings, it is not obscure and difficult to understand. After Li Qingyun entered the second realm, his sixth sense was greatly enhanced. Even when he encountered some difficult situations, he could use the power of divination to quickly understand the meaning.

Next, he began to offer sacrifices without hesitation and returned to the familiar mysterious palace.

With the appearance of tens of millions of incarnations, he immediately began to practice rapidly.

[Remaining Qi and Blood: 248 Souls]...

The repeated reading and deduction by countless clones allowed a large amount of experience to enter Li Qingyun's mind. He was familiar with every method of guiding luck and moving the palace recorded in the Xiantian Wuji Gong.

The complete version of this set of exercises should have nine levels. The book records the practice methods of the first six levels, which are the early, middle and late stages of Qi Refining and Spirit Refining respectively.

After learning all six levels and integrating essence, energy and spirit, you can try to refine the spirit and return to emptiness, condense the "innate infinite true energy" and enter the fourth realm.

[Remaining Qi and Blood: 220 Souls]...

With the sacrifice of qi and blood, a huge amount of spiritual power from heaven and earth was transformed into "Wuji Zhenqi" by the technique and merged into Li Qingyun's body, making the true qi in his body gradually become thick and full.

With every breath, he could feel the Qi flowing through his meridians, bringing a warm energy.

This energy not only enhanced his physical strength, but also slowly made his mind more focused and calm.

The first and second levels of Xiantian Wuji Gong were easily broken through. Li Qingyun also easily entered the late stage of Qi Refining.

[Remaining Qi and Blood: One Hundred and Eighty-Seven Souls]...

As the true qi accumulated, Li Qingyun's whole body seemed to be surrounded by a powerful energy. The true qi surged in his body, and every pore seemed to be breathing.

He felt that every cell in his body was gaining new vitality and his sense of strength was greatly increased.

At the same time, Li Qingyun's consciousness became extremely clear, as if everything in front of him became clear and transparent.

His divination ability had unknowingly become an integral part of his body. He was able to sense subtle energy changes that were previously imperceptible. His thinking speed was greatly improved, and he could enter deep meditation at any time and proactively foresee various possibilities for the future.

Suddenly, he felt that the accumulated true energy had reached a node and exploded with a loud bang. A huge amount of energy broke through the original restraints, like a flash of lightning across the sky.

At this moment, his spiritual world underwent a profound transformation, his body and mind reached a new point of balance, a perfect fusion was formed between his true energy and his spiritual consciousness, and he broke through to the fourth level of the Xiantian Wuji Gong.

The third realm of martial arts, the realm of refining spirit!
……

Li Qingyun slowly opened his eyes and felt his power changing at the same time as a tide of whispers and murmurs rang in his ears.

But for him, who often returned to the mysterious palace, this level of stimulation and temptation was just child's play and would not cause any change in his mood.

But despite this, he was not in a hurry to continue breaking through, but instead examined his body.

This is a necessary task for every cultivator who wants to break through a realm. Otherwise, if one forces himself to practice when the realm is not stable, it is easy to lose control of the body and strength, lose sanity, and fall into madness.

As he looked inward, Li Qingyun discovered that after he broke through to the spirit refining realm, his entire being had undergone a tremendous change.

First of all, his body became lighter and his movements became more agile, as if he could merge with the natural environment. Moreover, his strength, speed and endurance all reached new heights, and he felt unprecedented comfort and ease.

The physical improvement was within expectations, but what made him even more delighted was that after entering the third realm, his spiritual world became more vast, and his consciousness could move freely between the inner and outer worlds.

Now, Li Qingyun can clearly perceive everything around him. His five senses, combined with the power of his spirit and his own divination skills, form a whole.

The illumination of light, the flow of sound and air are no longer separate individuals, but a unified existence that provides more information.

His vision, hearing, smell, taste and touch bring more experiences at the same time. He can see sounds, hear emotions, smell the breath of life, taste the gifts of nature, feel the flowing history, resonate with all things in the world, establish a deeper connection, and his heart is filled with endless tranquility and harmony.

According to the records in [Xiantian Wuji Gong], this is the so-called state of "harmony between man and nature".

……

Not only that, his various magical powers as an agent have also been further strengthened.

The efficiency of converting qi and blood with the magical power of "Soul Devouring" has been greatly improved. The foul air that was previously needed to convert the qi and blood of one soul can now be converted into the qi and blood of two or even three souls, making the rewards and feedback that Li Qingyun receives after killing the evil spirits more obvious.
