The surroundings were empty.
The fog was hazy.
Lu Chen sensed something and immediately understood that this was the opened spirit aperture.
Spirit Aperture, Blessed Field, and Wisdom Heart. The secrets of the human body, the Innate Spirit Treasure, could store the Breath of Heaven and Earth and develop the foundation of longevity. Ordinary people could not sense it, and it was difficult for ordinary people to see it.
It was shapeless.
Its position was uncertain.
Once he sensed it, he would have opened his Spirit Aperture and fixed it.
With a thought, Lu Chen knew that his Spiritual Aperture was located at his Dantian. With a thought, he sensed the specks of spiritual light around him.
It was Spiritual Qi. Attributeless Spiritual Qi other than the Five Elements Spiritual Qi.
Lu Chen did not have any Spiritual Roots, so he could only absorb these attributeless Spiritual Qi for the time being. His cultivation speed was twice as slow as those with a single Spiritual Root. Compared to those with many Spiritual Roots, it was several times slower.
However, Lu Chen was not afraid. He could upgrade the Qi Cultivation Technique quickly, master it and perfect it, and then advance. His cultivation speed would only become faster and faster.
It was something that those geniuses could only dream of.
"Let's begin!"
Lu Sheng calmed himself down and began his first Qi Cultivation session according to the instructions in the Qi Cultivation Technique.
"When my arms fall, my body will be empty. I'm entering the border without doing anything. Righteousness sinks, will and spirit arise, and the two sides of the spiritual opportunity are born.
"Both hands are connected to the Heavenly Dew, and the air source has a membrane ceiling. Gather your qi with both hands and enter your aperture. Your noble aura will gradually remain in the center."
Draw the qi.
Guide the qi.
Activate the qi.
In the end, he cultivated the spiritual qi for his own use. After an entire small cycle, an hour had unknowingly passed. Finally, wisps of dense spiritual light appeared in his empty spiritual aperture.
"Alright! Alright!"
Lu Chen was extremely excited. With a thought, the Spiritual Qi in his Spirit Aperture covered the surface of his fist along his meridians. He waved his fist a few times and felt that the power of his punch had increased by at least 30%.
When he calmed down, the first thing he thought of was to refine the magic tool, the peach wood sword. However, the peach wood sword was not with him at the moment, so he could only wait.
[Name: Lu Chen]
[Identity: Temple Master of Changchun Temple/Revered Elder of Town Guards Mansion]
[Cultivation: Qi Refinement Realm Level 1]
[Spiritual Root: Pseudo-Spiritual Root]
[Cultivation Technique: Eternal Youth Technique, Proficient (Upgrade conditions can be opened!); Qi Cultivation Technique, Beginner; Sunu Secret Scripture, Uninitiated]
[Spells: Circular Light, Uninitiated; Sword Control Technique, Uninitiated]
[Palm Technique: Maha Kasyapa Palm, Beginner]
[Saber Technique: Buddhist Commandment Blade, Beginner]
…
With his cultivation, Lu Chen could finally be considered a Level 1 Qi Refinement Realm cultivator.
The salted fish turned over!
Things are different now!
Lu Chen cast his gaze on the line of spells and reached out.
"Open!"
"Open!"
[Circular Light Upgrade Requirements]:
[1: A wisp of spiritual light (Unachieved!)]
[2: Cultivate for a day (Unachieved!)]
[3: Five Spiritual Sand (Achieved!)]
....
[Sword Control Technique Upgrade Requirements]:
[1: One sword (Unachieved!)]
[2: Practicing the sword for a day (Unachieved!)]
[3: One Spiritual Sand (Achieved!)]
…
The Sword Control Technique was still alright.
The Circular Light was at the Authentic level. If he wanted to master it, he still needed a wisp of [Spiritual Light]. This Spiritual Light was difficult to find and usually only appeared at the moment the sun rose.
It disappeared in a flash. Moreover, it was extremely easy to dissipate. If he wanted to store it, he needed a bottle-type magic tool. If he did not have such a magic tool, he could only choose to refine it on the spot.
Back then, in order to cultivate this Circular Light, Daoist Qing Yun had trained hard in the Lightning Tower for half a year.
However, it was quite a torment.
Lu Chen's cultivation would be much easier. Once he fulfilled the requirements to cultivate for a day, he could start preparing. However, the Lightning Tower had already collapsed last year, so he still needed to find another high ground.
There was no hurry.
[Qi Cultivation Technique Upgrade Conditions]:
[1: Five days of cultivation (0/5, unachieved!)]
[2: A departed soul (0/1, unachieved!)]
[2: 10 grains of Spiritual Sand (0/10, unachieved!)]
…
In the past, he had to cultivate diligently for a long time because he had not opened his Spirit Aperture. Now, he was already at the Qi Refinement realm.
It was easier to level up.
After taking a look at the upgrade requirements for the Qi Refinement Technique, Lu Chen did not stay any longer. He packed up the silver and spiritual sand on the ground and slowly walked out of the room. As he walked, he felt as if his feet were light.
He was in high spirits.
"Hehe, Young Master is getting more and more handsome."
"Despicable!"
Under Qing He's congratulations and Jiang Hong'e's gaze, Lu Chen bid farewell to the two of them and floated down the third floor. When he appeared on the stairs on the first floor, pairs of angry eyes instantly looked over.
"That's the kid."
"He was the one who spent the night on the third floor. Miss Yiyi's innocence must have been tainted by him."
"Get him, kill… kill him!"
…
The silent scene instantly erupted. Dozens of people rushed towards him aggressively.
Miss Yiyi.
Courtesan!
Lu Chen felt wronged. He took two steps back and hurriedly explained, "Misunderstanding, it's a misunderstanding!"
"Misunderstanding my ass!" A burly man with sideburns was the fastest to rush up five steps with each step. His saliva flew everywhere as he roared loudly, "I've waited for Miss Yiyi for two years and haven't even touched her hand, but you damned fellow pounced on her for the entire night. I'll smash you to death!"
As he spoke, the wooden chair in his hand smashed down on Lu Chen's head.
With a light spin under his feet, Lu Chen easily dodged the attack. With a clever move, he pressed his palm on the other party's chest. The burly man fell down the stairs and was sent flying nearly ten meters away. With a clang, he smashed the wine table in the middle of the hall into pieces.
"Ouch!"
"Stop stop stop!"
Everyone screamed and stopped in a hurry. All of them were terrified.
Lu Chen was no longer the same as before. He was unwilling to argue with a group of brainless fellows. He cupped his fists and said, "Everyone, I spent the night in Jiang Hong'e's room last night. I've never seen Miss Yiyi before, and I'm not interested. Excuse me, excuse me!"
Everyone looked at each other and hurriedly made way. Lu Chen floated away, but the Red Chamber Garden was in an uproar.
"Procuress Jiang."
"A fierce man, a peerless fierce man. He can actually subdue Madam Jiang. I'm convinced!"
"I don't believe it!"
At the same time, on the third floor of the Red Chamber Garden, Jiang Hong'e stood leaning against the window. Her chest heaved as she watched Lu Chen leave. She gritted her teeth. "You even dare to take advantage of me. Next time, I'll give you a good whip!"
…
Lu Chen left the Red Chamber Garden and ate three bowls of mutton skin soup on the street. He packed another bowl and did not return to the Changchun Temple directly. Instead, he stopped in front of a courtyard.
Three houses in half an acre of courtyard. Moreover, it had been in disrepair for a long time and was even more dilapidated than the Changchun Temple.
Knock, knock, knock!
Lu Chen knocked on the courtyard door. Not long after, a thin little head poked out. It was the little girl who had delivered the letter to him previously. Her name was Meng Yao, and her nickname was "Yaoyao".
When she saw Lu Chen, she said in surprise, "Brother Daoist!"
"Mm!" Lu Chen nodded with a smile and handed over the packed mutton and dough soup. "I bought it for you. It's delicious."
"Thank you, brother!" Meng Yao revealed a big smile and rubbed her small hands on her long robe. She carefully took it and led Lu Chen into the house. She placed the dough soup into the kitchen and ran into the main room with her small feet. After a while, she took out a hidden bag.
Inside was Lu Chen's peach wood sword.
"Brother Daoist, here!"
"Good!" Lu Chen took the bag and sized up the courtyard. "Where's your grandfather?"
"Grandpa went to the back of the mountain to chop firewood."
"Okay."
Lu Chen's impression of the old man changed a lot. He chatted with the little girl for a while more, left a tael of silver, and left the courtyard.
From the mouth of the street to the end of it.
Lu Chen unlocked the door and pushed it open. He saw a long and narrow door stuck in the middle of the courtyard like a sharp sword. A string of words was scratched on it with his nails:
Give me the Sunu's Scripture. Otherwise, you will die in three days!
"Three days? Heh, it won't take that long!" Lu Chen's pupils constricted, and then he sneered. It seemed that Monk Yuanzhen had indeed come last night. After waiting bitterly for the entire night to no avail, he was unwilling to leave, so he simply left a message to threaten him.
The other party's target was actually the Authentic-level of the Sunu's Secret Technique.
Little lady.
A beautiful nun.
Thinking of Yuanzhen's preferences, Lu Chen was no longer surprised. He closed the temple door and took out the peach wood sword to refine it.
