Sword from Songshan

Chapter 47: Improving Mentality
"Senior brother."

In the pine and cypress forest on the back mountain of Shengguan Peak, Zhao Guangjin, an outer disciple who had been standing by for a while, saw Lu Nanxing finish his practice and open his eyes. Then he spoke and saluted respectfully.

"According to your instructions, in the past three months, we have spared no expense and mobilized a large number of people to spread rumors about Hengshan Sect in the martial arts world. Now it has worked. The reputation of the temples related to Hengshan Sect has plummeted, and there are no pilgrims coming to visit anymore."

"Ah."

Lu Nanxing nodded slightly and asked.

"Letters from all over the country have reached Hengshan."

"Within three days, letters from various temples will be delivered by carrier pigeons to Hengshan."

Zhao Guangjin replied and then went on to say further.

"According to your instructions, all the nunneries in various places will point their spearheads at Master Dingyi."

"it is good."

"Come to think of it, some of these old nuns are really tough guys."

Zhao Guangjin smiled and spoke casually.

"Most of the nunneries, seeing that there were no pilgrims, only needed a little guidance and hinting from us to make them blame Master Dingyi for their grievances. But a few were extremely cunning and had no intention of writing letters at all. It took me a lot of effort to use coercion and inducement to deal with them."

"You did very well."

Lu Nanxing glanced at Zhao Guangjin and smiled.

"After the matter is accomplished, I will report your contribution to the headmaster."

"Thank you, senior brother!"

Hearing this, Zhao Guangjin was very excited and thanked repeatedly.

Although the matter had been reported, Zhao Guangjin did not leave. He paused slightly, took out a leather bag from his waist, and handed it to Lu Nanxing with a smile on his face.

"Brother, this is a new spotted coin I found. It is only found in the Western Regions, but it is quite rare in the Central Plains. Please accept it and play with it."

Ever since Lu Nanxing became Zuo Lengchan's direct disciple, his status has risen rapidly, and countless people in the Songshan Sect, both direct disciples and outsiders, have come to curry favor with him.

Since you want to curry favor with him, you naturally have to give him what he likes. Coincidentally, news came out that Lu Nanxing likes venomous snakes.

For a time, the disciples of Songshan Sect collected all kinds of poisonous snakes everywhere and rushed to Lu Nanxing to present their treasures.

"Have a heart."

Lu Nanxing took the leather bag and nodded slightly.

"As long as you like it, brother."

Seeing Lu Nanxing accept it, Zhao Guangjin's face was full of joy again.

Then he left without further delay.

After walking more than ten meters, he couldn't help but look back, and saw Lu Nanxing still sitting there cross-legged, as if thinking about something.

Zhao Guangjin curled his lips and left the back mountain.

“It’s really slowed down.”

During the three months when the rumors about the Hengshan Sect spread throughout the martial arts world, Lu Nanxing, apart from remote control operations behind the scenes, still spent most of his time practicing.

In just three months, I gained two years’ worth of skills!
The progress is still amazing, but it is slower than the first month.

Lu Nanxing frowned. Just as he had worried before, as time went by, the absorption of the alien qi became slower and more difficult.

Just like a truck carrying sand, it is full at first, so there is naturally a lot of sand scattered on the road. But when the surface is almost full, the sand inside is not so easy to spill out.

Lu Nanxing estimated that these six kinds of strange qi required a total of twenty years of cultivation. If he just followed the steps, he might only be able to gain about ten years in the end.

The gap between ten and twenty years is too big.

Realizing this, Lu Nanxing couldn't help but think harder about how to absorb as much of the alien Qi as possible. The basis for this was the meridian acupoint map.

Now, three months have passed, and the picture has long been imprinted in his mind.

"wrong."

After practicing for an hour, Lu Nanxing opened his eyes and shook his head.

The twelve meridians are both the flow path of true qi and the assembly line for accumulating internal strength.

The practice of Songyang Xin Fa uses the Taiyin spleen meridian of the foot and the Shaoyin heart meridian of the hand.

The five internal organs correspond to the five elements. The spleen belongs to the earth, so the Songyang Heart Method is steady and heavy. The heart belongs to the fire, so the Songyang Heart Method is also masculine.

But in terms of the five elements, fire produces earth.

If you go from the Shaoyin Heart Meridian of the Hand to the Taiyin Spleen Meridian of the Foot, you can use the energy of the heart fire to strengthen the power of the spleen earth!
By then, the effect of Songyang Heart Method will be upgraded to a higher level.

However, the meridians have a fixed direction of flow. If it goes from the Hand Shaoyin Heart Meridian to the Foot Taiyin Spleen Meridian, it is retrograde!

There is no need to explain the consequences of meridian retrograde flow. Ouyang Feng’s madness is the best example.

"How can I do this..."

Since it is impossible to go backwards, is it possible to make use of more meridians?
Meridians are like production lines for accumulating internal energy. If there is one more production line, wouldn’t the output be doubled?
Although the cultivation of internal energy cannot be so simply compared, the more meridians are involved, the stronger the effects in all aspects will be.

The efficiency of absorbing foreign qi is low now because the Songyang Heart Method only involves these two meridians. Only when the foreign qi flows through these two meridians can it be absorbed slightly.

If Lu Nanxing's cultivation route involves more meridians, the number of times the alien true qi passes through will be greater, and the absorption speed will naturally increase accordingly.

However, it is not so easy to expand other meridians.

Meridians are the foundation of a person. Once damaged, the consequences are unpredictable.

So three months later, although Lu Nanxing had some ideas, he dared not put them into action.

After all, if the internal skills were so easy to improve, Zuo Lengchan alone would have made improvements, not to mention the many senior masters of the Songshan School.

Yes, Zuo Lengchan has indeed improved.

In order to deal with Ren Woxing's Star Absorbing Art, Zuo Lengchan created the secret hidden power method and ice qi based on the Songyang Heart Method!
It's just that it's his specialty and he hasn't passed it on to others.

This also shows that there is indeed room for improvement in the Songyang Heart Method.

It’s just a matter of how to improve and in which direction.

"Maybe..."

It has only been four months since Lu Nanxing started practicing internal energy. Even if he combines his knowledge from his previous life with that of his predecessor, it is nothing but a pipe dream to improve the Songyang method.

But compared to ordinary people, he has a big support, the small wooden tripod!
Although the small wooden tripod is a treasure for absorbing and refining poison, it also has the magical effect of guiding and strengthening spiritual practice.

The strengthening effect is relatively simple. As long as you collect more toxins and refine stronger toxins, the strengthening effect will naturally improve.

Speaking of which, Lu Nanxing deliberately revealed the news that he liked poisonous snakes. In the past few months, the disciples of Songshan have tributed a large number of poisonous snakes to him, and the entire snake picture has been lit up by more than half!

At the same time, increasingly powerful toxins are also fused!

To get back to the point, compared to strengthening, it is this derived guiding role that is more worthy of further study.

With the guidance of the small wooden tripod, Lu Nanxing mastered the broadsword version of Songshan Swordsmanship after practicing for a few months, and is now even moving towards 3.0.

When practicing Songyang Heart Method, the guiding role of the small wooden tripod is still there. In this case, can I use it to comprehend Songyang Heart Method 2.0?

Theoretically, it is possible. However, compared to the Songshan Sword Technique, the Songyang Heart Technique as an internal skill is more profound, and Lu Nanxing has been practicing for a short time. At least now, the small wooden tripod has not appeared in the practice process to guide other qi circulation paths.

No other boot appears, how to change it?
"Try it!"

But in fact, in addition to the Songyang Heart Method, there is another method used by the small wooden tripod to guide the internal force and true energy, which has always existed!
