Chapter 292
Zhang Xiaohua was no stranger to Sky Thunder. As early as the appearance of the first strand of Genuine Qi in his meridians, he had tried to attract thunder to save the herbs in Huanxi Villa. The feeling of being hit by Sky Thunder was still fresh in his memory, and it was hard for him to try it again. However, the lightning in front of him reminded Zhang Xiaohua. "I should have attracted thunder twice before.
The first time was unintentional, and I was about to fall asleep, so I didn't taste the Sky Thunder. But when I woke up the next day, I had Genuine Qi in my body, and it seemed that my Big Dipper Magical Fist had advanced to another level. The second time was intentional. I attracted thunder too early, so I was hit by thunder and fainted directly. Fortunately, it was midnight at that time, and the feeling was unforgettable and unbearable. However, the pain was in exchange for rich rewards. The herbs were saved, and it seemed that my Genuine Qi had increased a lot. What's more, my Big Dipper Magical Fist had advanced to another level, and there was a lot of black dirt on my body, which was very similar to the marrow cleansing mentioned in the Heart Sutra. Every time I was hit by thunder, I could get benefits, and there was nothing wrong with my body. If I could be hit by thunder more often, would I get more benefits? "
Thinking of this, Zhang Xiaohua was frightened by his own whimsy.
He Tianshu had once reminded him not to practice internal strength when it was thundering and raining, because it was easy to get Qi Deviation. However, he deliberately chose to attract thunder when it was thundering.
However, martial arts were different from the Way of Immortality. Maybe the Way of Immortality was not afraid of being hit by thunder?
Zhang Xiaohua thought that he might get lucky.
In fact, Zhang Xiaohua was very wrong. There were spells about Sky Thunder in the Way of Immortality, such as the Five Thunders Authentic Method, which could attract Sky Thunder from the sky. However, it was unheard of to practice with Sky Thunder Quenching Body. This practice was undoubtedly like an old man eating arsenic — he was tired of living.
But once this idea was born in Zhang Xiaohua's mind, it was like a bug, and he could no longer drive it away.
"Should I try to attract thunder?
Anyway, my body used to hurt a lot, and it was a hundred times more painful than the Pulsatilla's Soul-Searching Hand. However, if I can seize the opportunity to attract thunder at the moment before I fall asleep, I won't feel the pain, right?
Anyway, Blink can control the later stages of my cultivation. What's there to be afraid of? "
Thinking about it, Zhang Xiaohua did not want to enter the cave to cultivate anymore. He slowly paced back and forth at the entrance of the cave. This cave was in the mountains, and he did not know where he could attract the Heavenly Thunder.
If he couldn't, the heavenly lightning would strike the mountain. If the rocks were shattered, he would be buried under the mountain.
Zhang Xiaohua looked at the sky and then at the top of the mountain. She was a little hesitant. If they were not in the cave, they would have to be at the top of the mountain. Being drenched in the rain for a whole night was not something a human would do.
As they spoke, the rain began to fall. Raindrops the size of beans fell pitter-patter on the rocks, as if to demonstrate their power to Zhang Xiaohua.
"Kacha, kacha." Thunder continued to rumble in the surrounding sea. The majesty of this place was incomparable to that of the Huan Xi Mountain Manor.
Zhang Xiaohua hid in the cave and looked at the rain with a gloomy face. His heart was wavering.
Seeing that it was late at night, Zhang Xiaohua knew that he had to make a choice. He gritted his teeth and thought, "It's just a try. There's already one more time, and two more times. How can I be afraid that there won't be a third time?
Isn't it just a heart-wrenching pain? I'll just take it as the Pulsatilla forcing me to confess again at night! "
Thinking of this, he resolutely got up and rushed into the rain. In an instant, the heavy rain soaked his whole body.
When he used the Levitation Skill to reach the top of the mountain, there was not much time left. When he was about to take out the small primordial stones, he had an idea. Instead, he took out his money bag and scanned it with his Divine Sense. He took out the huge Crouching Ox Stone and sat cross-legged on it. First, he tried to absorb the primordial qi from the Crouching Ox Stone. Then, he calculated the time in his heart. When it was about time, he spread his Divine Sense into the dark night sky and tried to draw in the little primordial qi in the air.
Just as Zhang Xiaohua thought, after the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi in his divine sense was completely absorbed, the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi around him was slowly flowing in. Moreover, the heavenly thunder that sounded from time to time in the sky was gradually approaching.
"Kacha." There was a light clap of thunder in the distance. It sounded very far away, but Zhang Xiaohua's heart trembled. "This thunder sounds very far away, but it seems to have struck my heart. Could it be moving towards me?"
Sure enough, the thunder became louder and louder. Zhang Xiaohua's heart trembled violently. The last few sounds hit the edge of Zhang Xiaohua's Divine Sense. His face was a little pale. The rain could not drive away the fear in his heart. "Why is it not here yet?
Quickly go to sleep. Otherwise, this God's Soul Searching Hand is much more powerful than the Pulsatile Acupuncture. "
"Boom," there was a loud sound. The thunder and lightning struck the sky above Zhang Xiaohua's head. "Zi, la, la," a powerful energy cut through the sky. In an instant, countless primordial qi was generated around the energy. Once the primordial qi was generated, it was guided by Zhang Xiaohua's Divine Sense into the pores of his whole body. The huge energy was then absorbed into his body. Immediately, a heart-wrenching and unbearable pain was transmitted to Zhang Xiaohua's mind. At this time, Zhang Xiaohua's eyes turned black. He did not know if he fainted from happiness or was peacefully dreaming!
Just like the previous few times, Zhang Xiaohua's eyes flashed from his mind to his whole body. His whole body flashed with a mysterious frequency. In an instant, the numerous stars in the endless starry sky projected endless starlight across time and space and lingered around Zhang Xiaohua's body. The starlight absorbed into his meridians was the same as before. It repaired the meridians that were torn by the huge energy. At the same time, it separated the energy and vitality in the lightning. Most of the energy was absorbed by Zhang Xiaohua's crystal clear bones. Most of the vitality was absorbed by an unknown place in his mind. The remaining energy and vitality were refined by his meridians.
After the first thunder, the following Heavenly Thunders seemed to have found a target to vent. They all rushed to the deserted island and lined up to hit Zhang Xiaohua's head one by one. The energy and vitality were all absorbed by Zhang Xiaohua.
At this point, he should be on the right track of cultivation and refinement, just like before. However, this was the boundless sea, not the inland plains. The Heavenly Thunders here could not be compared to the Heavenly Thunders in the Huan Xi Manor. The quantity and quality were not on the same level. Under the countless Heavenly Thunders, the starlight outside Zhang Xiaohua's body seemed to be unable to withstand it. At first, it was faint and inconspicuous. Then, it gradually became thicker and thicker, turning into a milky white that was almost visible to the naked eye. This milky white color became thicker and thicker. In the end, even the pouring rain could not get close to him.
Even so, the incessant Heavenly Thunders far exceeded the amount of Heavenly Thunders that Zhang Xiaohua's starlight could neutralize. When a Heavenly Thunders struck, the starlight trembled as if it was about to collapse. At this moment, the Crouching Ox Stone under Zhang Xiaohua suddenly emitted a dazzling brilliance, as if something had been activated. The boundless energy and Qi of Heaven and Earth produced by the Heavenly Thunders were all absorbed into the Vitality Stone by the brilliance. At the same time, the Qi that Zhang Xiaohua was absorbing was also stimulated. It expanded rapidly and was absorbed into her body at a rate several times faster than before.
The vast amount of Qi of Heaven and Earth that was absorbed into her body was refined by the starlight surrounding her meridians and turned into Zhang Xiaohua's own Qi. This Qi flowed along her meridians at a fixed frequency. Moreover, it was not until now that the Qi that Zhang Xiaohua cultivated at the third level of the Qi Refining realm was stabilized and balanced. She had truly stepped out of the early stage and entered the middle stage of accumulation.
The sea breeze was strong and the rain was heavy. In the darkness of the night, on the deserted island, a ball of faint light flickered continuously. It was so faint that if one did not look closely, one would not be able to see it.
Not far from the deserted island, a huge jellyfish swam continuously. The huge waves did not pose any threat to it, but it seemed to feel a tremor that came from the bottom of its heart. It was an instinctive feeling, a kind of pressure that came from the deserted island, that made it want to run away.
Since ten days ago, it had been attracted by the Vitality Stone's fluctuations and had been wandering around the island, hoping to get another Vitality Stone. However, the feeling that made it tremble in the rainy night soon dispelled its desire to continue guarding the island. "Crack!" There was another sound of thunder. The light flickered and dimmed slightly. The huge jellyfish did not hesitate any longer. It dived into the water and swam deeper. Monsters like this jellyfish that had lived for countless years did not have the intelligence of a human, but many times, their instincts were more direct and accurate than a human's eyes and experience.
It was not until a trace of dawn appeared on the eastern horizon that the rampant storm finally died down. The clouds parted and the rain stopped. It seemed that the duration of the storm was much shorter than before.
The morning sun rose from the sea. Zhang Xiaohua took a deep breath and poured a bit of True Fire Essence into his body. The flame in the bottom of his eyes flashed and disappeared, and the flickering also stopped. The starlight around his body also entered his body in a breath. Zhang Xiaohua opened his eyes that were as black as ink.
He silently used the Heart Sutra to check the condition of his meridians.
"Not bad. The amount of True Qi in my meridians is a lot more than yesterday. It seems to be more than half. I should be in the middle of entering the third layer of Qi Refining. Although it was not good to be struck by the Heavenly Lightning yesterday, the harvest was also great. If I can endure for another night, I might be able to reach the third layer."
Zhang Xiaohua thought as the corners of his mouth curled up.
In fact, he did not know that the nameless place in his mind had absorbed most of the Heavenly Lightning's energy and had undergone a huge change.
Moreover, his jade-like bones were already showing signs of becoming transparent after being tempered. He had absorbed most of the Heavenly Lightning's energy. Compared to that, the True Qi in his meridians could only be said to be a small improvement.
Zhang Xiaohua stood up and put the Crouching Ox Stone away into his money pouch. Oh, right. The Crouching Ox Stone had also absorbed a huge amount of Yuan Qi of Heaven and Earth last night. This change was also something that Zhang Xiaohua could not detect.
"Oh, where is this fishy smell coming from?
Aiya, could it be coming from my body again? "
Zhang Xiaohua looked. As expected, his body was stained with some pitch-black sticky stuff again. He turned around and was about to fly towards the small lake, but after flying halfway, he thought, "If I bathe in the lake, won't this stinky stuff get into the water? How am I supposed to eat and drink in the future?"
He could only turn around and fly back to the beach. However, as he neared the beach, he thought, "What if that big monster is still in the water? What should I do then?"
So, even bathing was so difficult.
In the end, Zhang Xiaohua held the small sword in one hand and anxiously washed himself by a shallow beach.
He did not know that the huge jellyfish had been scared away by the brilliance of his cultivation last night. How could it sneak an attack on him?
After cleaning up, Zhang Xiaohua placed his clothes on a rock to dry. He practiced the Big Dipper Magical Fist naked. This practice was not a big deal. He actually found that his Big Dipper Magical Fist had advanced another level. As long as he practiced it for the sixth time, the bone-tempering flow appeared. After nine times of circulation, Zhang Xiaohua felt a joy from his bones. It was as if, at this moment, he could fly into the sky.
Thus, he used the levitation technique. Indeed, compared to yesterday, he flew a little higher.
"Could it be that this Big Dipper Magical Fist has something to do with the levitation technique?" Zhang Xiaohua was a little puzzled. These two techniques did not seem to have any direct connection.
The sea breeze on the deserted island was very strong. In this short period of time, Zhang Xiaohua's clothes had already dried. Although there was still a part of the deserted island that Zhang Xiaohua did not explore, he believed that there was only Zhang Xiaohua on this big deserted island. Even if he wore clothes, there would not be an additional female animal to look at, let alone a girl. However, he always felt that it was better to wear clothes.
"Yes, after all, I was also enlightened by words!" Zhang Xiaohua thought.
After wearing clothes, Zhang Xiaohua did not go to the small cave. He directly sat on the top of the mountain and comprehended the Earth Escape. After all, sitting there, he could see far away. If a ship came, he could find it in time, right?
This morning, perhaps Zhang Xiaohua had accumulated a lot of knowledge in the past few days, or perhaps he was in good spirits today. It did not take long for him to comprehend the third incantation of the Earth Escape. In the afternoon, he also felt that the foundation of alchemy had made great progress. He almost wanted to try it out with the furnace in his money bag. However, from alchemy, he saw that alchemy was also a multi-use incantation. He had not even mastered the simple Earth Escape Incantation, so how could he dare to rashly try it?
If the furnace was damaged, he would not even have the chance to cry.
"Also, there are no herbs at all. What can I use to practice?"
In this way, another 75 days passed. He did not see Qin Shiyue, nor did he see any ships passing by. Yes, he did not even see a black dot. Zhang Xiaohua could not help but feel a little discouraged.
However, despite being discouraged, Zhang Xiaohua's cultivation was still progressing at a rapid pace. In the past twenty days, there had been four or five thunderstorms. It was no wonder that the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi above the sea was much more abundant than inland. However, the amount of heavenly lightning each time was different, and the tempering effects were also different.
"My Big Dipper Magical Fist has entered the fifth level. I can feel a flow of tempering in my bones without practicing five times. However, this progress seems to be slower than before. In the past, I could advance by one level each time I drew lightning. Now I need to draw lightning four times to advance. Perhaps it will be harder in the future. Fortunately, the Carefree Heart Sutra has also advanced. The fourth level of Qi Refining requires a lot of Qi, but the amount of Qi of Heaven and Earth absorbed each time I draw lightning is not much. No wonder the Qi of Heaven and Earth is so thin.
With so little Qi of Heaven and Earth, it would be strange if the Immortal Dao was not destroyed. "
