I bear witness to immortality in the human world.

Chapter 6 Changes
Wu Ming knew that his physical 'aptitude' had not improved, but after his perception was enhanced, his control over his body was much stronger than before. With the same two bowls of coarse grains and a few red dates, his body absorbed the same amount of 'blood energy' as before, but through his careful guidance, this 'blood energy' would hardly be wasted or lost.

By avoiding the waste of much blood and energy, his body's recovery ability was greatly enhanced.

Normally, someone like him, with depleted qi and blood and severely damaged health, would have his body like a leaky sieve, constantly losing qi and blood. But with keen perception and control, he could avoid most of the loss, naturally making him vastly different from ordinary people.

In just five days, he was able to get out of bed and walk.

Based on Wu Ming's current assessment, he estimated that in about seven or eight days at most, his body would return to a normal state and no longer be weak. Then, at the latest, within a month, he would be able to return to the state before his suffering!
That is,

One month's work is equivalent to a year and a half of hard work!
Although his year and a half of training involved learning to walk as a toddler and gradually becoming proficient, with a long period of stagnation in between, the actual effective training time was less than a year and a half. However, he can now complete this process in just one month, which undoubtedly shows that his transformation compared to before is enormous and extraordinary.

After walking around the yard a few times to warm up, Wu Ming didn't expend much energy and quickly returned to the house, got into bed, and half-reclined against the wall.

Close your eyes.

Concentrate your thoughts.

Within the vast and endless space of consciousness, Wu Ming once again saw the Black Emperor Subduing Demon Diagram that blotted out the sky.

"Black Emperor Subdues Demons..."

Looking up at this vast and majestic scroll, Wu Ming murmured to himself.

For the past five days, while he was resting in bed, he had been studying the changes in this diagram. However, ever since the day he suppressed the evil black energy that had invaded his body, the diagram seemed to have fallen into silence again, without any further changes.

However, after being invaded by evil spirits and having his soul strengthened, Wu Ming no longer knew nothing about this diagram. At least for now, he knew that this diagram had the effect of suppressing evil spirits and nourishing the soul.

just,

He was unable to actively control this power.

Wu Ming tried to contact the scroll with his mind, but it felt like an ant trying to shake a mountain. He couldn't move it an inch, let alone awaken it or unleash its power.

As for the origin of this picture, we are still completely clueless and know nothing about it.

"The essence of this picture must be far beyond imagination, and I can hardly explore it at present. If I can make good use of it, I will surely be able to rise to the top in the path of martial arts."

"However... this picture is immovable and cannot be manipulated. If we want to use its power, do we have to let the evil spirit enter our body, just like before, and then awaken it to suppress the evil spirit?"

Wu Ming pondered deeply.

He still doesn't understand that kind of black evil spirit. He only knows that it seems to be a kind of 'evil spirit' that is rampant in the world. The way that martial artists usually deal with this kind of evil spirit is to break it with pure yang blood energy.

A martial artist refines his blood and qi; the more vigorous and intense his blood and qi, the stronger the effect of exorcising demons and warding off evil.

However, such exorcisms are often limited to the external body. Before the evil spirits approach, they need to be defeated or driven away with pure yang blood energy. Once they invade the body, they will directly enter the sea of ​​consciousness between the eyebrows. At that time, not only will the blood energy in the body be unable to play a role, but the evil spirits will also take over the consciousness and extract the blood energy from the whole body as food for them.

Just like before, when the evil black energy entered his body, even though it was only for a short moment and was suppressed by the Black Emperor's Demon Subduing Diagram, it still forcibly drained his blood and energy based on his sea of ​​consciousness between his eyebrows, causing him to fall into a state of blood and energy deficiency.

no doubt.

Possession by evil spirits is an extremely dangerous act.

After all, if the power of the Black Emperor's Demon Subduing Diagram had been awakened too slowly, the evil black qi would have drawn out even more of his life force, potentially draining him completely. Even if the Black Emperor's Demon Subduing Diagram could suppress and refine him, nourishing his soul, his body, drained of life force, would turn into a dried-up corpse, losing all vitality. This was clearly a huge problem.

Wu Ming's intuition told him that the use of the Black Emperor's Demon Subduing Diagram was not so rash, nor could it involve such a huge risk. There must be a more perfect method, but he just couldn't figure it out yet.

"Well, there's no need to rush." ​​After thinking for a long time, Wu Ming temporarily put the matter out of his mind.

This accidental awakening of the Black Emperor's Demon-Subduing Diagram has already brought him tremendous gains. In the coming period, he will need to slowly digest these gains and there is indeed no need to rush to explore the deeper power of this diagram.

……

A blink of an eye.

Another ten days or so have passed.

Wu Ming's body has fully recovered, but his qi and blood have not yet returned to the state before he was attacked by evil spirits. However, it is only a matter of time before he fully recovers and even condenses his qi and blood and enters the ranks of martial artists.

Liu and Wu Yu were overjoyed at Wu Ming's rapid recovery, attributing it to divine intervention. After all, clan leader Wu Qu had said that Wu Ming would need at least a month to recover before he could walk again, but Wu Ming was able to get out of bed in just a few days.

Wu Qu, the clan chief of Wu Village, was busy investigating the cause of the evil spirit's appearance and did not pay much attention to Wu Ming's situation. A few days ago, when he learned that Wu Ming was able to walk, he was only slightly surprised and did not care much.

He had examined Wu Ming's condition in detail. He had been possessed by an evil spirit, and his qi and blood were severely depleted. Even though he could walk on the ground in just half a month and looked like an ordinary person, it was mostly just a superficial appearance. The emptiness inside could not be made up for in a short time.

this day,
In the courtyard, Wu Ming assumed the posture of the Pure Yang Blood-Drawing Stake, held it for a while, and then slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air.

"The progress is indeed very fast, and it's not much different from what I expected."

A hint of relief flashed in his eyes. His previous judgment was indeed largely correct. With the strengthening of his soul, his ability to see inward and his more powerful methods of guiding blood and qi made it much easier for him to condense his blood and qi, far surpassing what he had achieved before.

After his body fully recovered, he accumulated a lot of qi and blood in just a few days.

"call."

Wu Ming didn't cultivate for long before stopping.

He has not yet recovered to his previous peak physical condition. With a stronger sense of awareness, he has also discovered that the cultivation of blood clotting actually requires a balance of intensity and relaxation. It cannot be forced, otherwise it will deplete his qi and blood.

For example, the Pure Yang Blood-Guiding Stance is not suitable for long-term practice. It is most appropriate to stand in the stance for one hour at a time. If you exceed this time limit, not only will you achieve less with more effort, but you will also damage your Qi and blood. You will need to rest for a while before repeating the practice.

These details distinguish it from Wu Qu's guidance.

The Pure Yang Blood-Guiding Stance practice, as instructed by Wu Qu, involves standing in the stance for two hours at a time, followed by a rest.

of course,

Wu Ming didn't think that Wu Qu had deliberately failed to provide adequate guidance. Rather, based on his current detailed exploration and understanding of the human body, he believed that everyone's physical constitution was completely different, and therefore, everyone's level of adaptation should also be different.

Two hours of standing meditation is the most common type, and it does not usually lead to significant losses.

However, for each individual, the suitable time varies. For example, his most suitable time is about one hour, while some people with extraordinary bone structure may not have any problems even for three hours.

From this, Wu Ming could roughly see that Wu Qu, the clan leader, was probably not much better at perceiving the physical body than he was now. This was because Wu Qu instructed his sons to practice standing meditation for the same two hours. It was likely that Wu Qu was unable to meticulously assess each person's aptitude and tailor the most suitable cultivation method for each individual.

But then again, it makes sense.

If he could do that, Wu Qu wouldn't need to be a clan chief in a village outside the city. He could simply open a martial arts school in the inner city and recruit many disciples. Surely, many people would be willing to let him give them pointers.

Even Wu Ming himself could only clearly perceive his own situation; he couldn't clearly understand the situation of others either.
