Chapter 27: Cultivating Qi When Ruan Xing heard Hu San's voice, he suddenly felt enlightened. What was the reason why she and Hu San were both trapped in Wai Jin Xiaocheng? Wasn't it because they had no money for the medicinal bath? The same is probably true for internal strength, which requires medicine of a higher level. However, there was no prescription in the secret door where Mrs. Wang hid the secret book. The Seventh Master often lived in the hall, and he had never seen medicinal materials cooked in the pots and cups in the dining hall. In addition, there were various pills and liquid medicines placed on the cupboard of the old man in his memory. Combining these points, Ruan Xing boldly speculated that the elixir that can be used to cultivate internal energy is only in the hands of that old man. He probably has such limited qualifications that he can only rely on various unorthodox research to seek immortality. He used the elixir that can be used to cultivate internal energy to hang around many high-level members of the Red Head Gang to do things for him, so that he can hide in the mountains and forests and devote himself to research wholeheartedly. If that's the case, then it's easy to deal with. When she came to the old man, she didn't die in one day, but lived for seven or eight days. She didn't eat every day, but only took pills and drew talismans. She stayed in the old man's small room which was filled with all kinds of pills and talismans for almost twelve hours. There were plenty of opportunities. Anyway, she now has more than 2,000 points, so she can simulate more than 200 times, so she can just use the number of times to pile it up. Ruan Xing got off the carriage and asked Hu San to take the carriage back, while she returned to the room to work overtime on the simulation. On the fifth day, he found the old man relaxing his vigilance and suddenly picked up a bottle of medicine and refused to let go. After choosing option 2, she got the medicine bottle easily. After all, the old man stripped her naked, and she had nothing except the lines drawn on her skin and the medicine bottle in her hand.
What followed was trial and error. Ruan Xing started the simulation and used the pills in the medicine bottle to help her cultivate her internal strength. However, she soon died of bleeding from all seven orifices. "It seems that this bottle is not it." Ruan Xing shook his head and hid the small medicine bottle and the poisoned teacups under the bed. There are many medicine bottles in the windows and on the shelves, and some of them even look exactly the same. I really don’t know how the old man can tell them apart. Ruan Xing could only rely on trial and error, using an average of two simulations each time to search mechanically. …… You took one of the red medicine bottles, and the old man angrily rushed forward to snatch it. During the struggle, you knocked the bottle on the old man's head, and the bottle broke. The bright dark red liquid inside splashed all over you and the old man. After the liquid came into contact with the skin, it quickly corroded and spread outwards. The old man rolled on the ground screaming, and you also felt the pain of festering all over your body. You died. [End of simulation] "Choose two...wait!" Ruan Xing shuddered all over, and her dull eyes suddenly refocused, and she quickly confirmed in her mind. "What did I see just now? Wasn't it always the case that I took the medicine bottle and was killed by the old man with a spell or asked the pure white boy to kill me? How come a new way of dying suddenly unlocked?" Ruan Xing stared at the font in his mind and read every word before confirming that he was not mistaken. The medicine bottle was already broken and the effect of the medicine was already understood. There was no point in choosing either one, so she decisively chose memory. From her memory, she saw that when she got the medicine bottle containing red liquid, the old man's expression was one of anger and a little fear. When he stepped forward to snatch the medicine bottle, his strength was not even as great as Ruan Xing, who had perfected external strength. If he had not used talismans before, Ruan Xing would not have discovered that the old man's body was so weak. The medicine in this bottle is indeed powerful. Not only is the liquid inside highly corrosive, it can also spread outward. If it is accidentally spilled, at least half of the things in the cave will be destroyed. And why does this old man seem weaker than the pure white boy? Is he really an evil cultivator? If he is weak, why does the boy listen to him so much? After more simulations, maybe I can find the answer. After Ruan Xing's external strength was perfected, the defense of his skin increased a lot. From what he remembered, the old man had almost no resistance to liquids. As soon as he got touched by liquids, he screamed and fell to the ground, unable to get up. Ruan Xing's half body was corroded, and the table board under him was corroded and broken, but he didn't make a sound. If used well, maybe this medicine could send the old man directly to see the King of Hell, and she wouldn't have to spend so much time and effort carrying out bottle after bottle. Do it as soon as you think of it. Ruan Xing silently said, "Begin simulation." [Simulating] At the age of six, you were spotted by the Seventh Master. After passing a series of tests, you were taken to a cave with the pure white boy. The old man in the cave fed you various pills and drew talismans on your skin.
On the fifth day, you took a medicine bottle while the old man was relaxed and smashed it on his head. The bottle broke and the liquid inside spilled all over the old man. He screamed and fell to the ground, and was quickly corroded into a mixture of flesh, blood and sewage. You used your arm to block the splashing liquid, but accidentally got a few drops on your arm, which corroded it into bumpy white bones. You avoided the sizzling and smoking liquid on the ground, and quickly swept away all the medicine bottles on the storage shelf with one hand, wrapped them in clothes and carried them on your back, and accidentally found a few old books under the old man's pillow. As soon as you picked them up, a white light came as expected, and you died. [End of simulation] Please select the reward for this simulation: 1. Memories from when I was six years old. 2. A random item that was on my body when I was six years old. 3. A random skill mastered at the age of six. 4. The realm of cultivation reached at the age of six. Ruan Xing was a little conflicted. Although she felt that those books were important, she had finally packed up most of the medicine bottles and took them away. The temptation was great... But with the bag on her back and the books in her hands, it was likely that she would get the books... Forget it, it’s random anyway, so just leave it to fate. Ruan Xing closed his eyes and chose option two. 【Congratulations on obtaining the unknown book that was on your body when you were six years old. 】 As expected, I can only get the medicine bottle again next time I simulate. Ruan Xing flipped through the books he brought out. There were names written on the covers. One was called Blood Refining Art, one was called Ghost Record of the Netherworld, and one was called Detailed Explanation of All Herbs. The Blood Refining Art is the martial art practiced by the Red Head Gang. It also includes recipes for medicinal baths and formulas for liquid medicines to be taken. The technique is very complete and covers everything from external strength to innate content, but it was divided into internal and external skills by the old man and taught separately. As for the Ghost Records of the Underworld, there is both good news and bad news. The good news is that this is a cultivation method, but the bad news is that it is for ghosts and she can't use it. Ruan Xing felt very sorry, but there was nothing she could do. In the simulator, it usually ended when she died. She had no experience of becoming a ghost, and she didn't dare to try it in reality. What if she really died? As a soul from another world, it was possible that she could not become a ghost... No wonder the old man didn’t repair it. I guess he didn’t dare to do it. However, the old man did develop a lot of things from the appendix of the Netherworld Ghost Record, including puppets, spells, and magic tools. The pure white boy was the product of puppets. First, select a suitable material. According to what the book says, the most suitable ones are those with a rough life and deep resentment, and those with a good fortune and a smooth life but died halfway. The three tests set by the old man are probably for the latter, but the Red Head Gang did not understand the meaning, and only saw that the first test was related to gambling skills. They misinterpreted the old man's words and evolved into a way of taking advantage of loopholes by finding smart children to learn gambling skills. No wonder the old man was not satisfied with the people sent over before. He didn't even think about it. How could a person with a smooth life appear in a poor family? The only person Ruan Xing knew who met the requirements was Master Liu, but it was estimated that no one from the Red Head Gang would pay attention to him, so the old man missed out on a good material. After the materials are selected, it will take seven days to feed the puppet with special elixirs to remove impurities from the body, and talismans will be painted on its body surface to lock the spiritual charm and yin energy in the body. This way, the puppet will be more powerful after it is made. Of course, puppets can be made with materials that do not meet the requirements, but that would be a waste of elixirs and talismans, and the puppets made would be nothing more than ordinary zombies, incomparable to the former. After the puppet is made, use its soul to bind with natural treasures to form the essence of the puppet. Drip the master's blood into the essence, the puppet will then completely obey the master's words, and use Yin energy to slowly nourish the essence, and the puppet's strength will grow stronger. The third book seems more normal than the previous two. Detailed Explanation of Herbs records the functions and uses of some common mortal-level herbs, as well as some treasures that can cultivate spiritual energy in the mortal world. However, the old man used this thing in a wrong way. In addition to cultivating the essence of the puppet, he also tried to refine the herbs recorded in it into elixirs. However, without a prescription, most of them turned into poisons after a lot of blind practice. The red liquid that took the old man's life came from this. After reading three books, Ruan Xing began to think about the problems he was facing. In the Blood Refining Technique, one of the ingredients in the medicine formula for practicing internal skills is the heart blood of boys and girls. Although she is not a saint, she does not want to harm innocent children in order to make medicine, so she still has to use the ready-made medicine from the old man. In addition to bringing out all the remaining medicine bottles, she also had to find the puppet essence of the pure white boy. It is written in the book that when the puppet's master dies, the puppet will act according to its instinct. Perhaps it is because the old man's refining technique is not good, and there is not much soul left in the pure white boy's essence. He usually kills people and bleeds. In addition, the old man's last order when he died must have been to kill her, so the pure white boy suddenly appeared in the cave to take her life. It only took a few minutes from the old man's death to the boy's entry into the cave. She had to find his essence and drip her own blood on it before he came in. Ruan Xing calmed down and continued the simulation, but after three or four times, she searched the small room and couldn't find a similar item. Ruan Xing could only helplessly conclude that the boy's puppet essence was not placed in that room.
But she couldn't go out and find another place, because she would be killed by the boy as soon as she went out. The boy's elusive figure is also explained in the Ghost Records of the Netherworld. It is a magic spell called Ghost Escape. After learning it, one can dissolve oneself into the air, becoming unrecognizable to the naked eye and impossible to touch. Although the boy is a puppet, he is still a ghost. After practicing this spell and adding the white true energy, he can always use it to launch sneak attacks. The old man wasn't very capable, and the young puppet he refined only had these two powerful abilities. However, the combination of the two left Ruan Xing helpless. She was originally unable to defeat the masked man who could use true energy in a head-on battle, so she could only rely on sneak attacks. It turned out that this young man was more powerful than her and could also launch sneak attacks. It would be strange if we could win this battle. Unable to think of a solution, Ruan Xing decided to put the matter of the pure white boy aside for the time being and try the effect of the medicine bottle she took out first, and find the medicine that can be used to cultivate true qi and improve her own fighting power. After simulating several times, Ruan Xing finally found a bottle of blue liquid medicine, which looked similar to the one she drank during the third test. She should have tried it during that step of the test, and she had gone through so much trouble in vain. But there was also an advantage, that is, she accidentally got those three books. Although she could not practice the Netherworld Ghost Record, after all, she got them with great difficulty. Keeping them might come in handy someday. Moreover, she could also learn the talismans and finally got a glimpse of the path to immortality. After simulating more than a dozen times with the medicine, Ruan Xing seemed to hear some kind of barrier gently shattered with a pop sound, and then he opened his panel. Name: Nguyen Hsing Age: six years old Skills: Gambling basics, dance basics, weaving basics Skill: Blood Refining Technique Realm: Hua Jin Points: 1163 The skills remained the same, and she had never chosen option three in her simulations during this period, so there was nothing extra. Because he had obtained the complete Blood Refining Technique, his skills were displayed on the panel. As for the realm, Ruan Xing, who has read the Blood Refining Art, also knows the key to it. After the internal and external strength are cultivated to perfection, they will enter the stage of transforming strength. At this time, the true qi will no longer only flow in the meridians, but will gradually merge with the body, and will also reach the stage of true qi protecting the body that Ruan Xing had envisioned before. When the true Qi fills the whole body, the martial arts realm will be elevated to the acquired level. Strictly speaking, Hua Jin is not a level of realm, but a transitional stage that cannot be skipped. There will be no bottleneck period in this stage. As long as one can reach Hua Jin, in a few days or a few months, one will definitely reach the Hou Tian level. Moreover, there is no order of priority between internal strength and external strength. You can practice either one first or both at the same time. It's just that in the early stage, the overall strength of people who practice external strength is greater than that of people who practice internal strength. But in the later stage, people with perfect internal strength can practice external strength nearly ten times faster than those with perfect external strength. Presumably this is one of the reasons why the old man wants to split the internal and external skills, artificially reducing the speed at which the Red Head Gang members practice martial arts, so that he can more easily control them. And the points... Ruan Xing felt a little sad when she saw it. She thought that more than 2,000 points were enough for her to build it, but without realizing it, she had used up more than a hundred simulations. Alas, money is not easy to spend! Ruan Xing sighed, packed up the medicine and the two pages of paper and put them together, preparing to send them to Hu San sometime. If she wanted to make money, she needed manpower, and Hu San was her core member. When she could think of a way to deal with the old man and the pure white boy, the Red Head Gang would be hers. Then she could concentrate on cultivating immortality, and Hu San would manage the Red Head Gang for her and make money. Wouldn't that be wonderful? So she had to improve Hu San's strength as soon as possible. A person with a small degree of external strength could not suppress so many managers. Even if she killed all those managers and promoted them herself, wouldn't it take time? Wouldn't it delay making money? And she didn't know anyone. What if she promoted an ungrateful person? It would be better to improve Hu San's strength and give him full power, let him find a way to suppress the people in the gang, and she would just take the money. As for herself, she no longer needed medicinal baths and medicine when she reached the Hua Jin stage. She needed elixirs of a higher level. However, the Blood Refining Art said that the elixir from acquired to innate was the Luoqi Pill, which was common to all exercises. Therefore, there was no recipe for the Luoqi Pill in the book. Thinking about it, this simulation is really useful. Not only can she cultivate her inner strength to perfection painlessly, but the medicine can also be reused without any consumption. Once she thoroughly understands those strange medicines made by the old man, she might be able to find some good stuff.
