Hidden Corners

Looking at the small door that gradually turned into black and gray on the ground, this thing, together with the key, disappeared completely, leaving nothing behind.

Apparently Professor Miman had some kind of special insurance, which would automatically activate self-destruction in the event of an accident.

But in this way, his method and channel to return here will be completely gone.

After standing there for a while, Li Chengyi didn't even come back to his senses.

His mind was racing as he thought about how to return to the Earth and Moon.

'No, there is still a way. When the Heaven-Destroying Earth God's Limitation Heart Jue was able to be transmitted to Earth and Moon, there must be some kind of connection with Earth and Moon. Of course, it is also possible that someone who has been here has brought the skills here, but this possibility is extremely small. Those who can bring such magical skills there will not be unknown in the earth and moon after practicing. ’

Li Chengyi once again felt a glimmer of hope in his heart.

‘The martial arts here can directly reach the engraving, and I have already opened the non-door in my body, so I can connect to the Black Sea by myself at any time. Then the only thing missing is a road leading back to the earth and the moon. There are also the countless dangers that can arise in the Black Sea. ’

‘In this way, I just need to cultivate the seal here as much as possible, strengthen my own strength, and then find a way to leave and return safely from here. ’

In a place where such a terrifying and powerful person could be born, he didn't believe there would be no way to hide his own aura.

‘It seems that the fastest way to develop is to move up through official positions and make use of the largest court resources. ’

After quickly confirming the next arrangement, Li Chengyi tidied up the courtyard, carefully collected the black ash on the small door, packed it in a small bag, then took care of himself, and went out again.

This time, he was going to the arsenal of the Shenwu Division.

Anywhere, as long as it is a large-scale organizational force, there will be a place to store martial arts classics, and the Shenwu Division is the arsenal.

The arsenal is generally divided into two, one is the Zhenqi arsenal of the Shenwu Division, and the other is the blood arsenal of the Blood Guard Division.

The same goes for martial arts, which are divided into Zhenqi martial arts and blood martial arts.

For example, the Heavenly Blood Rain Kung Fu practiced by the previous Imperial Master Song Yunhe was the blood martial arts, and many people called it the blood origin martial arts.

The arsenal is not only responsible for preserving martial arts, but also has some retired members of the Shenwu Division who serve as martial arts instructors here.

If you have any basic questions, you can ask them for answers for a fee.

These instructors usually have a basic salary, which can be regarded as the pension department of Shenwu Division in disguise.

The location of the arsenal is not near the courtyard of Shenwusi, but in a more remote place called Shen Yunyuan.

This is a place where county officials often come to worship their ancestors and worship gods and Buddhas.

The arsenals of the Shenwu Division and the Blood Guard Division are all here.

After Li Chengyi asked the old people in the team, he came straight here. After walking around in circles, he finally found a four-pointed pavilion surrounded by high walls.

The four corners of the roof of the attic of the building are all curved and raised spikes, with a black roof, black walls, dark red doors and windows, and dark green lanterns hanging on the gates of the wall. Other than that, there is no plaque.

On the surface it looks like an ordinary large family.

Li Chengyi stepped forward and knocked on the door. The door opened automatically, and it was empty inside.

He narrowed his eyes, lifted up his robe and stepped over the threshold.

In the courtyard within the wall, some grape vines were planted and propped up on trellises to form a small patch of shade.

A sword-browed woman with white hair and a face as smooth as a young man is wearing a white robe and reading a book while leaning on a lounge chair in the shade.

"You have to read the book and pick it up for yourself. You can't take it away. If you want to ask for advice, look at the wooden sign. If you agree, you can ask questions."

The woman said lazily, without looking at who Li Chengyi was.

Only then did Li Chengyi notice that there was a sign standing at the woman's feet, which clearly listed the prices of different types of problems.

However, he was wealthy and had been cleaning up bandit troubles for so long. It was common for him to hide a little secretly.

Not to mention that he often goes to the wild to make extra money.

"I have a question, and I would like to ask you for advice." Li Chengyi said, cupping his fists.

He knew that these instructors were all retired from the Shenwu Division. They were not weak in strength and had wide connections, so they could not be offended easily.

"Ask if you know the price." The white-haired woman said calmly.

"I would like to ask you, Professor, what is the biggest difference between Blood Origin Martial Arts and True Qi Martial Arts? Can one person practice both in one?"

Yes, what Li Chengyi thought of at this time was to change his body, to a body with blood, and then practice both.

But in this case, he would have to give up all the energy he had gained through cultivation, which was a pity.

So he came to ask in a different way.

"You have the guts to think about this question." The white-haired woman finally turned her head and glanced at Li Chengyi.

"This is impossible. Zhenqi martial arts and blood essence martial arts are basically two contradictory directions. Zhenqi makes people move forward, while blood essence makes people move backward."

"One is evolution and the other is atavism. The two are fundamentally contradictory. Just like if you want to move forward and move backward at the same time, what you end up with is standing still."

"Forward, backward?" Li Chengyi seemed to have some realization. "Then why is True Qi always said to be far inferior to Blood Yuan?"

"It's very simple. How long have you been practicing Qi? People's blood essence is the wealth accumulated by ancestors for generations. Both of them are transforming themselves. You started transforming from practicing Qi, and others started transforming generations and dozens of generations ago. What do you think? Can it be the same?" The white-haired woman rolled her eyes at him.

"Then I have another question, junior." Li Chengyi understood and continued to ask.

"This is the third question." The white-haired woman reminded.

"Can a strong man like the Imperial Master really be able to pull the stars?" Li Chengyi still didn't believe it.

"Well, many people have asked this question, and the answer is... true. Why is our Shaoyin Kingdom built on a piece of black soil? Do you know the reason?"

"I don't know."

"Actually, it's very simple. Originally, this was a mountain range. Later, the national army arrived and struck the star, destroying the mountain range and the country hidden in it. Then we moved here." The white-haired woman sighed, "So Up to now, the huge crater created by the crash still remains in the center of the black earth plain. It is a huge lake, comparable to the ocean."

Li Chengyi was silent, is this something a human can do? ?

"The last question is, what level of martial arts is required to fuse the true seal, and how can I obtain it?"

This is what he cares about most.

Compared with the illusion of the Symphony Dragon's Heart, now it seems that the progress of practicing the true seal martial arts fusion is faster.

The white-haired woman glanced at him and narrowed her eyes slightly.

"Black level, there are only white level martial arts here. In the entire Cangshi County, only the generals and guards can practice black level martial arts, and there is only one copy. This is a level strictly controlled by the court. In addition, in the entire Shaoyin Kingdom, only There are two places where you can find the material resources required for the true seal fusion practice. One is the imperial court and the other is Wanmu Mountain."

"In other words, if you want to integrate the true seal, you can only complete it by joining our court and going to Wanmu Mountain?" Li Chengyi understood.

"Yes. The fusion of the true seal requires a medicine called Heart-locking Pill. As long as you reach the level of general guarding, you will receive one pill every year."

"That's it." Li Chengyi clasped his fists in greeting, "Thank you for your advice."

"Pay." The white-haired woman said lazily.

Li Chengyi took out forty taels of silver notes and handed them over. Then he walked towards the main building of the arsenal.

Passing through the second threshold, you can see a somewhat gloomy black wooden grid inside.

They are embedded in the wall, one next to one another, like furnishings. There is a martial arts secret book placed in the grid.

Under each cheat book, the name, grade, and purchase cost are written in small letters.

The martial arts in the arsenal is divided into two parts, training methods and medicine stones. There are only training methods here, and a copy of the medicine stone needs to be purchased.

Li Chengyi glanced over and saw that there were about a hundred grids inlaid on the three walls of the huge pavilion, most of which were empty.

From left to right, the grids are unqualified, white-level, and black-level.

Li Chengyi immediately went to the black level.

There are only two volumes placed in a grid on this wall.

"Bi Xue Gong" and "Heaven-shaking Will and Qi Jue".

Underneath the Bi Blood Skill is clearly marked: Disabled.

Li Chengyi reached out and took down the complete version of Tianyi Qijue, only to find that it was blank.

As expected, there is really no loophole to exploit.

He has no bloodline, so naturally he can only practice Zhenqi martial arts, and Songwenqi itself does not have the method of real seal fusion, so he hopes to get inspiration from other martial arts and create a real seal fusion that belongs to Songlu Sword Technique.

pity

This is a martial art that can only be practiced by guarding.

‘The guard also has a term of office. If the guard has practiced martial arts from the beginning, what should be done with this martial art? ’

He was confused.

'Furthermore, since this technique is allowed to be practiced by guards, so many guards will definitely spread it. ’

Obviously, this technique must have limitations or modifications. Li Chengyi plans to inquire about the previous guards in the county after returning. What is the current situation? Is it possible to get some of the contents of the true seal fusion from them?

Putting aside the black-level martial arts, he turned his gaze in the direction of inferiority, and soon found the Songlu Sword Technique, which was passed down from his family.

Although he didn't know how the Songlu Knife got in here, he still took it off and looked through it.

It was horribly incomplete, containing only the basic training methods of Song Wenqi, no moves, and no applications.

It is probably the castrated version handed over by the ancestors of the Wang family.

Li Chengyi put it back and went to look at other martial arts.

"Land Xing Gong", "Earth Granting Gong", "Sifang Fubutu Knife", "Breaking River Hand".

The names of these inferior martial arts are louder than the last, but they are all just different castrated versions of the basics of Qi training.

Li Chengyi had a photographic memory and quickly memorized dozens of Qi training methods here.

Soon, he turned to white-level martial arts.

This is a higher level of martial arts than the Song Wen Qi he practiced.

On this wall, there are more than ten grids containing classics.

He randomly took out a copy of "Moxu Zhenjing". The qi training part in it was similar to the previous one, but there was an extra step of refining it at the end.

After practicing Qi, it still needs to be refined to make it more pure.

The method of refining, according to the Moxu Scripture, is to use a certain prescription combined with special luck techniques to absorb and remove impurities in the true energy, thus purifying the true energy in disguise.

At first glance, this method is a painstaking method summed up after countless test attempts.

Li Chengyi put down this book and picked up the next one.

"The Power of Storming Blue Sea".

This subsequent refining method is achieved by using the strong pressure in the deep sea to squeeze the whole body and forcibly compress the true energy.

Continue to the next volume.

"Blue Flame Golden Realm Art" uses a special kind of medicinal flame to roast the true energy, so that the impurities in it are scorched and evaporated.

Li Chengyi read through each volume, and most of them relied on external pressure, inducement, traction, temperature, humidity, medicinal hedging and other means to achieve the purpose of refining.

This gave him a lot of inspiration.

Especially for the common impurities in Zhenqi, a book called "Mingxuan Dan Jing" mentioned that the impurities are mainly the impurities produced by the fusion of miscellaneous blood and the waste gas produced by the fusion of distracting thoughts.

The essence and blood in the human body itself are not pure, there will be impurities, so impurities exist.

Countless distracting thoughts arise in people's minds every moment. No matter how focused they are, there will be subconscious thoughts that breed them, so waste gas will naturally arise.

For these two types, it is necessary to first understand their characteristics and then prescribe the right medicine to achieve the purpose of purification.
