I can infinitely improve my spiritual attributes

After more than 400 martial arts students had all gone through five rounds of competition, half a day had already passed.

In the afternoon, the policy essay test was conducted among the six assessments, and the actual combat was placed at the end.

The policy essay test is almost the same every year.

The questions to be tested are all taken from the Art of War, the Seven Military Classics, the Six Strategies, etc., and at most some of the current prime minister's ideas on governing the country are mixed in. As long as you can memorize and sing praises, it will be fine.

The policy essay test lasts for one hour.

After one hour, the police will take away the test papers of all martial arts students.

After the five assessments of riding, archery, dancing, competition, and policy essay, it is the actual combat.

Actual combat is different from competition.

Competition is a fight between martial arts students, and it is still reserved after all.

But actual combat is a real life-and-death fight.

The target of actual combat may be bandits or monsters.

In the previous martial arts imperial examinations, the final palace examination was held to select the top three Jinshi. The final practical test was either to go to the battlefield, to destroy the discovered Wushengjiao stronghold, or to kill the demon commander or even the demon king who was causing trouble to one side.

The final practical test was determined by the specific situation and was not fixed.

Before the practical test officially began, no one knew what the specific content was.

The next day.

More than 400 martial arts students boarded the ironclad warship and left the county city.

"Is this, heading to Baisha River?"

"Could this practical test be related to the demons or bandits in Baisha River?"

Looking at the route of the ironclad warship and entering the Baisha River, Zhou Shan secretly guessed in his heart.

At this time, he recalled that it seemed that he had heard from his master Lin Yuanxiong that the Da Cang County Navy and the Yingtian Dao Taoists did not attack Yunwu Lake, but only killed the demons of the Wusheng Sect and Xie Dongtian, the leader of the Golden Lion Water Bandit Group who had reached the fourth realm of blood exchange, and then blocked Yunwu Lake, and all the water bandits were trapped inside.

In this way, the actual combat assessment of this college examination is to eliminate the water bandits trapped in Yunwu Lake.

"Eliminate the water bandits!"

Zhou Shan's eyes flashed with brilliance.

Among the water bandits in Yunwu Lake, there are many warriors who have reached the first realm, the second realm, or even the third realm.

If these warriors are killed and their souls are swallowed by the White Bone Magic Bottle, the power of the Wanling Soul-Destroying Divine Light can be increased, and the bone essence of these warriors can also be extracted and integrated into the white bone lotus.

The white bone lotus in Zhou Shan's sea of ​​consciousness has been upgraded from three flowers and nine petals to nine flowers and twenty-seven petals.

The three flowers and nine petals belong to the first-grade white bone lotus, while the nine flowers and twenty-seven petals belong to the third-grade lotus, which greatly improves the defense and can resist the attacks of the third-level condensed liquid cultivators and the third-level internal training warriors.

It takes some time to rush from Da Cang County to Yunwu Daze.

Zhou Shan sat in the room and began to practice the giant whale technique in the giant spirit five-form skill.

The giant whale technique is a marrow washing skill.

If you want to change blood and forge the blood and qi phase, you must first wash the marrow and practice the skills into the bone marrow.

After completing the marrow washing and meeting the requirements of blood exchange, you can forge the blood and qi phase according to the corresponding ‘form intention’, and if you want to condense the Yin spirit, you need the corresponding ‘spiritual intention’.

There are five different forms and intentions in the giant spirit five-form skill, namely, ox, bear, tiger, snake and whale.

The cultivation of the physical body needs to be carried out step by step, namely strengthening the blood, grinding the skin, strengthening the bones, training the organs, and then washing the marrow and exchanging blood. However, when it comes to the stage of forging the qi and blood phase, the five different qi and blood phases of cattle, bears, tigers, snakes and whales can be forged first, regardless of which one meets the requirements.

Each qi and blood phase requires a corresponding spiritual object of heaven and earth to be forged.

Marrow washing can be completed by relying on one's own qi and blood, but if you want to forge the qi and blood phase, you must have a spiritual object of heaven and earth, otherwise the forged qi and blood phase is just a mere appearance, without the characteristics and abilities that the qi and blood phase should have.

This is no different from the simple condensation of qi and blood into a phase, and it is not a qi and blood phase at all.

The characteristics and abilities possessed by the qi and blood phase do not come out of thin air, but come from the spiritual objects of heaven and earth that are refined.

However, Zhou Shan has not yet completed a marrow washing, and it is still early for him to exchange blood to forge the qi and blood phase, so he is not a top-notch warrior who has exchanged blood in the fourth realm, but can only be regarded as a practitioner who has entered the fourth realm.

Only when the Qi and blood phase is forged, can it be considered to have entered the fourth realm to change blood and become a top-notch warrior.

Zhou Shan sat cross-legged, running the mental method in the Giant Whale Art to move Qi and blood.

"Hua La La!"

Zhou Shan heard the sound of surging waves in his ears, and the Qi and blood in his body condensed into a giant whale, rolling and jumping in the raging waves, stirring up huge waves, or more accurately, huge waves of fire, washing the bones over and over again.

The most difficult point of marrow washing is that the bone marrow is in the deepest part of the bones. If the Qi and blood do not break the limit three times and reach the level of Qi and blood like fire, it is difficult to penetrate into the deepest part of the bones.

The second realm of bone forging only strengthens the outer and inner layers of the bones, but does not strengthen the bone marrow layer.

The vigorous Qi and blood like fire temper the bones, and the power of Qi and blood penetrates little by little, and begins to wash the marrow.

"Hiss!"

The blood and qi penetrated deep into the bone marrow. It was the first time for Zhou Shan to wash his marrow. He felt a long-lost pain. This pain penetrated deep into the bone marrow and directly impacted the deepest part of his heart. It was most appropriate to describe it as heart-wrenching.

Zhou Shan's spirit surged, isolating the pain transmitted by his flesh.

If you keep suffering this kind of pain, you won't be able to concentrate on cleansing your marrow.

Cleansing the marrow is not just about the influx of Qi and blood into the bone marrow layer. It must be very meticulous. At the beginning, you can only use the strong Qi and blood to 'cook' the bone marrow little by little, just like boiling a frog in warm water. Don't start too much. Too fierce.

Otherwise, qi and blood will rush into the bone marrow layer, which will not only fail to wash the marrow, but will also damage the marrow.

For other warriors, if you want to cleanse the marrow, you must make many preparations, such as taking medicine to protect the bone marrow. Especially if you are practicing for the first time, the qi and blood can easily damage the bone marrow.

But Zhou Shan doesn't need it. He is an immortal monk, can see inside, and can grasp the qi and blood to a meticulous level, so it is much easier to step into the marrow cleansing than an ordinary warrior.

Martial arts and immortality are not mutually exclusive.

If they practice together, they can even complement each other.

For example, if you practice Immortal Dao and have spiritual power, you can control your physical body in more detail. If you practice martial arts, it will be twice the result with half the effort. If the martial arts is strong, as the residence of the soul, the strong Qi and blood can also Nourish the soul, but practicing the immortal way requires extremely high understanding, so most people in the world practice martial arts.

However, immortal monks basically practice martial arts as well.
