In the Shuiling Cavern.
Chen Yun did not rush to tame the flying snake, but lit incense for gods and warriors instead.
Speaking of it, it was all because of the divine soldiers and generals that I was able to subdue the flying snake and obtain the spiritual herb this time.
Without their compatibility in attributes, it would be impossible to defeat the flying snake and obtain the spiritual herb on our own.
Chen Yun naturally treats them well.
After lighting the incense for the gods and warriors, he started to try and tame the flying snake using the secret methods of raising poisonous snakes that he had obtained from Xie Wuming.
Ah, it's just a very common form of sorcery.
If one must describe it more accurately, this sorcery is somewhat like the voodoo that was mentioned in the previous world, Earth.
Chen Yun drives qi and murmurs incantations.
After the true qi left his body, it quickly condensed into an amulet.
Immediately, he used his fingernail to break the tip of his finger and squeezed out a drop of blood.
Chen Yun injected the amulet condensed with true qi into the drop of blood floating on the tip of his finger, and then dropped it into the head of the flying snake.
The next second, the blood essence was absorbed into it.
The flying snake struggled violently.
Chen Yun felt the resistance from the other side and, without hesitation, used the entrancement technique to "soothe" the emotions of the flying snake.
Although the flying snake had a powerful energy, it was now exhausted. Moreover, the "gods" were not strong, so it was immediately subdued and fell into a deep sleep, allowing the blood essence to merge with its spirit.
After a moment, Chen Yun realized that he had established a connection with the flying snake, as if it was like an extension of his own arm, allowing him to control it however he wanted.
"That's right! It truly works!"
Chen Yun was overjoyed in his heart. He really hadn't expected that the sorcery for controlling poisons could also control a flying snake.
At this time, he stopped the entrancement technique and allowed the flying snake to "wake up." Then he tried to control it with his will.
To the east.
Swoosh, the flying snake moves eastward.
Westward.
The flying snake turned its head and started to move westward.
Take to the skies.
The flying snake flapped its wings and soared into the air, as if it was using its wings like an extension of its body!
Chen Yun was overjoyed and quickly summoned the flying snake into his sleeve.
In future battles, if he suddenly releases the flying snake from his sleeve, it will undoubtedly have an unexpected and incredible effect.
He couldn't help but think of that scoundrel Yin Wuming again.
"If I get a chance to let the flying snake bite him, Yin Wuming's physical body would definitely be incinerated by the essence of firewood, and even his Yin spirit might be damaged."
Chen Yun's heart secretly thrilled.
He was preparing to wait for the divine soldiers and generals to absorb the energy from the smoke of burning True Fragrance, and then return to the deity statue and spirit tablet.
Suddenly, Ji Xin finished absorbing the energy from the True Fragrance prematurely and opened his eyes in confusion, asking: "Master, were you reciting a witchcraft incantation from the Sanmiao region just now?"
Chen Yun looked over and blinked, asking: "Do you know about witchcraft?"
Ji Xin laughed and said: "During the Qin and Han Dynasties, witchcraft was second only to Daoism. At that time, Buddhism was not yet prominent in fame, and there were many powerful sorcerers roaming the world. They were one after another, extremely powerful, and far beyond ordinary people's resistance. I remember that Chu's original Qiaoyuan was a grand sorcerer, though he died for various reasons and became a river god. However, Qiu's sorcery was never passed down to anyone, and it is said to be buried in some place in Chu's old Qiushi Return. It is not only a powerful sorcery but also many treasures of the Qiu family."
Chen Yun was well aware that Qu Yuan became the god of the Yangtze River after his death.
He curiously asked, "Do you know where the treasure of the Qu Family is buried?"
Ji Xin said: "I know the general location. Earlier, Emperor Han also asked me to search for it, but time was too rushed, and I didn't find it."
Chen Yun mentally noted this information. If he had the time in the future, he could go to Zigui to look for it.
After chatting for a while, Chen Yun waited until the divine soldiers and generals finished enjoying the incense and collected them into the spirit tablet.
After that, Chen Yun picked up the lingqi and pondered: "In the mortal realm, astragalus cannot be consumed directly, but this lingqi is different. It's full of treasures, and it's best to eat the entire plant. This way, its medicinal properties can be maximized. Especially its roots, they are the epitome of essence."
Thinking of this, he used magic to condense some water into a stream to rinse the lingqi.
After the lingqi was cleaned, Chen Yun didn't hesitate to swallow it whole.
It had a slightly sweet taste.
It also carried a faint, earthy scent.
It was a very strange taste.
Chen Yun swallowed it as if he were eating grass, leaving none behind.
"It's time to wait for the medicinal power to emerge and then refine all of it."
He hurriedly sat cross-legged and closed his eyes to concentrate.
Just as he finished storing his qi, a tremendous and mysterious qi began to flow throughout his entire body from within his abdomen.
Chen Yun could clearly feel that even without practicing or refining the qi, this qi was continuously strengthening his physical body.
"Hurry to refine it. Otherwise, the medicinal qi will all be used to strengthen the physical body, and it won't be able to increase the true qi."
He waited until his breath in and out was evenly distributed, then used his tongue to roll back and seal off the two holes at the back of his tongue.
Hold one's breath.
As he began to practice, Chen Yun felt two streams of qi directly shooting up from the left and right solar meridians, passing through the root of his lower incisors and going straight through his temple, reaching the position at the top of his forehead.
In an instant, the qi reached the Mudan Palace.
Chen Yun knew that the true qi was about to be born, and he concentrated on refining it.
As expected, the qi gradually flowed into the posterior brain, descended through the twelve rings of the spinal cord, passed through the jiajin, and reached the tailbone before ascending to the heart and Dantian.
At this moment, Chen Yun felt a warm sensation in his chest and had a slight sense of harmony and comfort.
He knew this was a sign that the true qi was about to descend.
As soon as he spoke, a bitter taste appeared in his mouth, and the whole mouth was filled with sweet dew.
Chen Yun swallowed it slowly.
The next second, he felt his body gradually expand, his spirit soaring, as if he could see the sun, moon, rivers, and mountains within his own body.
As usual, he reached out his hand and pressed it forward.
Chen Yun "saw" a light, round and bright like the sun, suddenly falling into his lower Dantian.
The first true qi has been refined.
In general, during cultivation, one should not have distractions. However, Chen Yun "internalized" the idea of the massive amount of qi being refined and couldn't help but feel surprised.
"This lingqi's medicinal power is too fierce, isn't it? I've only refined one strand, and it's equivalent to the effect of a day's worth of the refining essence to qi elixir?"
It's hard for Chen Yun not to feel surprised.
After all, the effect of a day's worth of the refining essence to qi elixir is equivalent to that of an ordinary person practicing for an entire month!
That means that what he had just appeared to refine was only a single strand of true qi, but in reality, it was equivalent to an ordinary person's hard cultivation for an entire month!
This wasn't even the most surprising thing to Chen Yun.
What surprised him the most was that he hadn't practiced the accumulate qi and refine body techniques, but the medicinal power of the lingqi had unintentionally strengthened his body, which was equivalent to a month's worth of hard cultivation!
If he were to actively practice the accumulate qi and refine body techniques, the effect might be twice as strong!
"Treasure! It truly deserves to be called a precious object in the Heavenly Paradise, where the earthly and celestial roots grow!"
Chen Yun was so excited that he couldn't control himself, and for a moment, he couldn't enter a state of meditation.
He quickly composed himself and tried his best to exclude all distractions, returning to his state of cultivation.
This time, Chen Yun not only practiced "Mr. Chen's Inner Dantian Technique," but also made his spirit perform two functions at once, combining the route of accumulating qi and refining body.
As the true qi continuously emerged, a portion of the energy from the lingqi was used to strengthen the physical body.
Chen Yun discovered that the refined energy, in addition to generating true qi, also generated many spiritual energies, which continuously filled into the muscles and skin tissues under the accumulation of qi and refining body technique, allowing his body to strengthen.
Time was ticking by second by second.
A complete cycle of the inner orbit.
Another complete cycle of the inner orbit.
Nine complete cycles of the inner orbit.
An hour passed quickly.
At this time, Chen Yun felt that his body was slightly overloaded from constantly practicing, so he slowly stopped the cultivation.
He checked how much his true qi had grown and how much his physical body had strengthened.
The amount of true qi born and the level of physical body strengthening were so immense that it was almost unbelievable!
"After only an hour of cultivation, it's equivalent to the month-long cultivation of the refining essence to qi elixir, and my physical body is almost at the same level!"
Chen Yun couldn't help but sigh, "It's no wonder that some ordinary people mistakenly enter the heavenly paradise and eat immortality elixirs to become immortals. The true celestial roots have such powerful effects."
Most importantly, he could sense that the medicinal power of the lingqi had not been consumed much.
Chen Yun carefully analyzed, "Although the cultivation of the medicinal power has been somewhat bearable, I can even refine it daily. In ten days, I may be able to reach the level of a sixth-order sorcerer. However, I don't know how long the lingqi's medicinal power will last."
He decided that he wouldn't refine all the lingqi's medicinal power until he left the heavenly paradise.
If he were to refine all of it, he might truly break through to the level of a fifth-rank sorcerer, which is a middle-grade sorcerer.
Chen Yun remembered that when he broke through from a seventh-rank sorcerer to an eighth-rank sorcerer, his true qi underwent a "quality change".
He pondered whether his true qi would undergo another "quality change" if he broke through to a middle-grade sorcerer.
This he did not know for the moment.
However, since his body couldn't bear the continued refining of the medicinal power, he didn't waste any time but directly practiced the Dragon Slaying Technique in winter. He practiced until he was completely exhausted, then put on the tiger skin armor and lay down on the ground to sleep directly.
