From a carp to a dragon god

Chapter 3: Overcoming the Tribulation and Building the Foundation
As soon as the sky gate opened, Yu Shuyang's fish body was no longer stiff, just like frozen meat thawing instantly.

He was frightened by the thunder tribulation, especially when the thunder sounded, his whole body froze. If it weren't for his good concentration, he would have fallen into phantom pain and failed to survive the tribulation.

After the thunder tribulation was over, Yu Shuyang did not stop. He felt the clan pattern and felt the power of the clan for an hour. He directly attracted the fire tribulation and started the second heavenly tribulation.

Thunder streaked across the sky, leaving behind a lot of thunder and fire energy. Without the need for any secret method to guide it, the monsters that survived the thunder tribulation would spontaneously combust like white phosphorus.

As the saying goes, there are three fires in the human body, and the same is true for the fish body. These three fires are like oil, which expand instantly and directly torture the body's qi and blood.

This is the illusion of being burned by the life fire, the pain brought by being contaminated by the qi of thunder and fire. Compared with the thunder that cleanses the evil spirits, the burning of thunder and fire is more direct.

A feeling of being burned to ashes, as if all the blood in the body is boiling, steaming in the fire, and being dried up bit by bit.

I seemed to hear a burning and cracking sensation in my ears, just like the thirsty earth with cracks appearing, and the blood was evaporating into water vapor, and I felt like I was going to become a dried fish.

Water vapor is the manifestation of qi channels. These qi channels are neither virtual nor real. They are neither in the blood vessels inside the body nor on the skin outside the body. They are between the soul and the body.

The Du channel on the fish's back had already appeared, so Yu Shuyang naturally did not dare to hesitate. He silently guided his own golden light to flow out from the spiritual platform three feet above his head.

Then I saw a golden light like a waterfall flowing from the void above my head and directly falling into the white mist of the fish head, just like a dead wood touching a spark and burning instantly.

The golden light of the natal body flowed into the qi channels and instantly turned into the innate qi. This qi was colorless and tasteless, neither light nor heavy, and flowed like mercury on the ground.

The qi channels were forged in this way, running from the head of the fish to the tail along the back of the fish. This is the Du channel, and from the tail down along the belly to the head of the fish, this is the Ren channel.

When the innate qi travels around the Ren and Du meridians, the thunder and fire are isolated, and the vital fire loses its support, like a wildfire that has burned out, with only a little residual heat left.

The fire disaster is just as its name suggests - a mountain fire will either burn all the trees on the mountain or cut off the fire prevention and cast a qi channel.

"No wonder they say that celebrating the New Year is like passing a test. If you can't forge your Qi meridians, you'll be burned to death by the thunder and fire in the sky."

Yu Shuyang was a little scared. The thunder tribulation was to go through it amidst thunder. Regardless of whether the Heavenly Gate was opened successfully or not, his life would not be in danger. The fire tribulation was really like being soaked in thunder and fire. If he couldn't get through it, he might really be burned to death.

The last level is the wind tribulation, which is also the key to Dingyuan Xuanqiao and the last level of foundation building and Qi refining.

Once the Qi channels are well-developed, they can guide away the evil Qi, which is often referred to as "Qi sinking into the Dantian".

His fish body has three dantians, upper, middle and lower. According to blood inheritance, the upper dantian is naturally Zifu. In his previous life, he practiced in the lower dantian Qihai.

Yu Shuyang has deduced and calculated, and also checked a lot of data and documents, and the two cannot coexist.

The upper dantian Zifu cultivates the way of the primordial spirit, and the lower dantian Qihai cultivates the way of the golden elixir. Both are the cultivation of the body and soul, and only one can choose to achieve enlightenment.

Compared to marrying a lucky beast, he prefers to travel the world with a sword. No one can stop the fish demon from becoming a sword immortal.

Yu Shuyang needed to slow down and take a breath. The thunder and fire tribulations had consumed a great deal of his spirit, and the power of his "family pattern" was about to be exhausted, so he needed to replenish it.

For the next wind disaster, we must also prepare the evil energy that needs to be refined in advance.

Yu Shuyang spit out seven talisman coins and lined them up in a row. These were all his savings, all of which were personally refined by the Great Immortal Xiyu, and they carried a hint of literary luck and festive atmosphere.

The talisman, also known as the Five Elements and Ten Directions Talisman, is the common currency in the Eastern World. It can be spent as money or used as a talisman for casting spells, which is quite convenient.

In terms of purchasing power, talisman coins can only be considered as small change. There is also a kind of jade New Year's money, also called Yuanchen Jiazi New Year's money, which is the real talisman money.

Unfortunately, Yu Shuyang has never come into contact with it. It is said that it can not only be used as a talisman, but also has the miraculous effect of warding off evil spirits and welcoming good luck.

The talisman coins within the Xiyu Blessed Land were all personally refined by the Xiyu Immortal. They favor water in the Five Elements and Ren and Gui in the Ten Directions. Used by the inhabitants for cultivation, they possess the miraculous effect of enhancing literary and intellectual development. Compared to pills, they are superior and contain no toxicity, making them practically hard currency.

A talisman coin was raised into the air, and it spontaneously combusted without fire and turned into a water-blue light, illuminating Yu Shuyang's three-foot-two-inch fish body.

This ray of light can be used to cast a ninth-grade spell. If it is only used to sense Qi, it can last for a quarter of an hour without dissipating.

Yu Shuyang suddenly felt as if his whole body was bathed in a spring breeze, as if he was soaking in warm water. He felt warm from the inside out, and comfortable even in his bones.

This is the nourishment of water spirit to the body of water-born people. If conditions permit, it can be fumigated all year round to form a spiritual body.

Unfortunately, this is a huge sum of money, so much that even Xiyu Daxian cannot afford it. Yu Shuyang can only think about it and wish there was a spiritual spring.

Yu Shuyang's fish body is composed of water and gold, nine parts yang water and one part yin gold. The most suitable water for refining Qi is Ren Yang water.

The Ren Yang water Qi was gathered first. This was his current innate talent, so naturally he couldn't discard it.

Strands of blue-black water energy gathered together. After all, when you are in the water of Taiping Lake, water-based evil energy is most likely to gather.

Compared to gathering the Ren Yang water Qi and Xin Yin metal Qi, it is much more difficult. Taiping Lake has more water and soil spiritual energy, and less fire and metal spiritual energy. Yu Shuyang has a sense of nine water and one metal.

Even if there is a little bit of golden spiritual energy, it is still there. A little bit of gold just makes it slower, but it will eventually be gathered.

In this way, one talisman coin can gather three streams of Ren Yang water Qi and three streams of Xin Yin gold Qi.

He was not reluctant to do so now, so he offered up another talisman, which turned into a water-blue light, and gathered five of each of the two kinds of spiritual energy before stopping.

At this moment, there were five aqua-blue and five golden-white balls on Yu Shuyang's head. If someone could see it, it would look like a big silver-white carp with ten small light balls on its head, like juggling balls or balancing a tank on its head.

After a short rest, the last wind disaster began.

Five balls of Ren Yang water Qi and five balls of Xin Yin metal Qi enter the Ren meridian from the Lingtai, and circulate Qi in the Ren and Du meridians for a big circle.

The innate Qi scattered in the Ren and Du meridians mixed with the two evil Qis of gold and water, and turned into a true Yang bead the size of a millet grain.

Yu Shuyang didn't hesitate and directly threw the Zhenyang Pearl into the Qi sea in his lower dantian. It was like a stone sinking into the sea, without any sound.

The wind disaster began.

The True Yang Pearl entered the Qi Sea in the lower Dantian and instantly exploded in the acupoint, like a big explosion at the beginning of chaos, directly opening up the Qi Sea into a mysterious acupoint.

Once the mysterious orifice is completed, wind will come out like a volcanic eruption. This wind is not the wind from the east, south, west or north, nor is it the wind of gentle gold and snow, nor is it the wind of flowers, willows, pines and bamboos, but the wind of disaster.

It was as if there was a hole in the body, and wind was blowing out through the bones and flesh, as if his soul was about to be blown away.

This is because the balance of yin and yang in the fish's body is broken, and the Xuanyuan acupoint pulls the qi channels into a state of neither emptiness nor reality. This is the process of refining qi and transforming it into Taoism.

The most important thing in dealing with wind disaster is to hold the Yuan and keep the One. The mind cannot be trapped in the wind, otherwise the Yin spirit will be blown out of the physical body.
