Night Sounds
Luo Nan put everything down and got onto the bed. He stripped down to his underpants, adjusted his breathing, and began his night training. A thin layer of sweat covered his body after half an hour of breathing guidance, but the state of his body and mind had already recovered to their peak. The flame of the heart lantern of the eyes orifice flickered within his brain.
Luo Nan's thoughts stirred, and the heart lantern flickered, sending the warm light into his internal organs.
Gym Master Xiu once said that after the cultivation of the eyes orifice reached small success, the inner vision would be like the sun and moon illuminating the mountains and rivers. Even if one could not truly see through the wondrous attainments of life without missing anything, one could still pierce through the clouds and break through the mist.
Luo Nan saw that the structure of his internal organs had the shape of a rampart under the spiritual light of his internal vision. It was like a high cliff and deep valley, with towering rocks. The disorderly layout was vague. He didn't care about this. He just merged his mind with his eyes. The sun and moon rotated and shone down, fixing on the gate of life in his spine. He burned and refined his essence energy, gradually pouring it into the bottom of the perineum. When the yang energy was full, it naturally surged up and seeped into his internal organs.
This time, it was like water sprinkling on lava. Vital energy hissed and boiled. It was like roiling clouds, changing shape in myriad ways.
Luo Nan felt such a sign when he burned and refined his essence energy. After a moment of shock, he was delighted. "Burning the pill furnace, filling the mountain with smoke. The technique of transforming essence into Qi has already reached its peak. The next step is to reach the peak of Kunlun and then open up a field of blessings … No wonder even Master Lian said that we should wait for the torrent to pour down and overflow before making a judgment. The time is right, and it's clearly today! "
It must be known that Luo Nan's body and soul were originally imbalanced. He had no choice but to use all the vital energy in his body to nourish the eyes orifice, forming a Body Gear. Only then did he have the opportunity to borrow the majestic and vast power of the God Gear. If he hadn't comprehended the coupling technique, he might have had to toss and turn for several months. He might even have had to undergo some strengthening surgery in order to maintain that fragile balance.
But things in this world always move in the opposite direction when pushed to the extreme. Luo Nan received his mother's blessing, comprehended the coupling technique, and crossed the most difficult juncture. The crisis transformed, and the corresponding benefits were greater.
Ordinary people relied on time and effort to cultivate the Internal Refinement Technique. If one wanted to reach the level of burning the pill furnace and filling the mountains with clouds, it was possible to cultivate for seven days, eight days, nine days, or even a hundred days, a year, or even three years.
But Luo Nan was here. The power of Formatting Theory was far too great, and the glacial ocean hung high. Even if he only poured a little and interfered, he would still advance bravely. Ever since the heart lantern of the eyes orifice had broken the boundaries of interference. It had become unstoppable in the short seven days.
With just a few thoughts flashing through his mind, clouds gathered in the middle of his chest and abdomen. They were dyed with five different colors. Especially where his liver and gallbladder were, the green aura was the thickest.
According to the classical theory of the East, the eyes orifice was like the mouth of a spring, with its source below. The Nan............ O................ Yang........ Ancient.... "....... The mechanism affected the entire body, including the liver, gall bladder, eyes, fingers, and tendons. It seemed to be bouncing around, but it was actually all connected in one breath. This was what Gym Master Xiu meant when he said, "The body is like a mountain range, densely planted with soil; the breath is like flowing water, twisting and turning."
"My eyes orifice reservoir is finally connected to the source. It's flowing water!"
Earlier, Luo Nan had exhausted all of his vital energy to open the eyes orifice, barely able to withstand the terrifying pressure of the God Wheel. The iceberg ocean continued to pour soul power into his eyes orifice. His eyes orifice was just like a reservoir with limited capacity. Even with the Coupling Art, the continuous impacts caused his pupils to crack with electricity.
But now, the situation was different. The Eyes Aperture connected the Qi and blood of the liver and gallbladder, and it could also circulate to the fascia of the whole body. From there, the viscera, muscles, bones, skin, and hair could all be digested one by one, and the load capacity would increase dramatically. It would truly become the Body Chakra, constantly rotating.
In this way, it could be said that the inside was connected to the outside, and the bitterness was over before the sweetness came. Just the power of the Divine Wheel's nourishment alone was enough for him to enjoy for a while.
It was midnight, the time when the Qi in the liver flowed. After the pleasantly surprised mood passed, Luo Nan suppressed his feelings of joy and calmed his mind. He adjusted the flow of energy more and more carefully, wanting to complete the task.
Two hours passed in the blink of an eye. Luo Nan waited for the yin and yang of the liver and gallbladder to automatically adjust the fire of the heart, the water of the kidneys, and the energy to circulate. Then, Luo Nan woke up.
He opened his eyes, and his thoughts stirred. He had his own response, and he knew that it was around three in the morning. Right now, he was overflowing with energy, and his mind was healthy and refreshed. It was no longer suitable for him to sleep, but this wasn't his usual rhythm of work and rest. Just as he was mulling over what he should do, his mind stirred.
Someone was talking nearby, and his name was mentioned.
With the level of Luo Nan's mental senses, he could pry into the information of all living beings within a radius of several kilometers. It was just that this information was far too complex, and it had the effect of accelerating the growth of his soul strength. It increased the burden, so Luo Nan normally maintained the radius of his mental senses at around ten meters. Most of the time, he was in a standby state, only reacting to evil thoughts, ominous intents, and other dangers.
But perhaps it was because his cultivation had just advanced, but the sensitivity of his mental senses had increased by a large margin. The way it appeared was quite different from before.
His mind was like a calm lake, reflecting several stars. It was like the reflection of the distant starry sky. Then the corresponding information joined together and transformed, forming an even more concrete figure. The words they exchanged were all reflected in the lake of his mind.
Oh, it's Aunt and Uncle … … That's right. Who else could it be?
The two elders were in their bedroom. They leaned side by side against the headboard, conversing in low voices. It could be seen that they hadn't slept at all last night. They had been conversing all this time.
Though Luo Nan possessed inconceivable mental senses, he normally wouldn't go so far as to eavesdrop. He just heard his own name, and he did that stupid thing at night. He couldn't help but feel a bit guilty, and he was even more curious.
"I'll eavesdrop just once … … Tonight."
Luo Nan found an excuse for himself, and he truly used his heart to sense. This time, he was like an incorporeal specter, lurking in his aunt and uncle's bedroom. He could hear and see, and it was as if he was there in person.
Luo Nan was already unable to recall what they had said before, but the first words that truly entered his ears caused his mind to be stimulated:
"...... Could it be that Dad, or perhaps Zhongheng's friends have come to Xia City?"
"They've been in the wilderness for twenty years. They've gone against civilization, and they're on sensitive projects. It's already good enough that they haven't become enemies. Why would they come over?"
The one speaking in front was his aunt, Luo Shuqing. The 'Dad' she spoke of was naturally Luo Nan's grandfather, Luo Yuandao. Zhongheng was Luo Nan's father, Luo Zhongheng. From Luo Nan's perspective, these two names were the ones he cared about the most, even though the direction of his emotions were quite different. He immediately paid 120% of his attention.
Luo Shuqing was a bit dissatisfied when she heard her husband's response: "Don't play dumb. You know who I'm talking about!"
"Yes, I know … … But I checked the entry and exit records of the airport. Yan Yongbo has been flying back and forth across the Pacific Ocean recently. He's been to Luo City at least five or six times. The trouble he's gotten into clearly comes from within Quantum Corporation. Do you think they have influence over Quantum Corporation? "
They? Who was' they '? Was it related to his grandfather and father?
Luo Nan didn't hear it, but he knew that the topic these two elders were talking about right now involved their 'family friend', Yan Yongbo.
It made sense. Back then, Yan Yongbo had humiliated his family in front of everyone at the restaurant. He had vowed in all sincerity that he would take back the 'reputation' of his old man, Yan Hong. Whether or not Yan Yongbo's words were reasonable, the endorsement of Quantum Corporation really did give people a lot of pressure.
A few days passed, and this brother suddenly vanished without a trace. It was hard not to be suspicious of his anticlimactic ending.
Luo Nan didn't completely understand the ins and outs of this matter, but compared to other more important matters, he didn't have the mind to ponder over these small details.
But from the perspective of his aunt and uncle, the tiger skin of Quantum Corporation was still quite a deterrent to the secular world. Even if their family was considered a relatively wealthy middle-class family, they weren't on the same level when compared to a capital giant like Quantum Corporation. If things didn't go well, their family would be ruined.
Luo Nan couldn't help but feel a bit ashamed when he thought of this. His aunt and uncle had been shouldering such a large amount of pressure for the past month, but they had never mentioned it to him. He was quite careless. He had forgotten about it many times.
What method should he think of to appease his two elders?
Luo Nan was pondering over this matter when he heard his aunt sneer: "Are you looking down on vagrants? I, as an HR employee, know that vagrants have been returning to the city with great momentum in recent years. A portion of them erased their criminal records and transformed into big bosses. This isn't just one or two examples. "
His uncle sighed: "Then you're counting on a former vagrant boss who erased his criminal record to come out and help?"
"I didn't say that."
His uncle pulled open the bedside table and took out an electronic cigarette that had been sealed for a long time. He wanted to put it in his mouth, but he stopped and held it in his hand: "I'd rather they stay in the wilderness forever. These people are used to the law of the jungle, and religion is involved. There has never been a lack of madmen and ambitious people. The old man is still alive. He's a symbol at the very least. He's a constraint. I don't think they'll talk reason with us once the situation changes. If they join forces with the powers in the city, I'm afraid things will get even more lively. "
Luo Shuqing was quite vigilant: "They're looking for you again?"
"They haven't met, but they've called a few times. They're asking for help in changing data and the like. Whether they succeed or not, they're very polite … … You're right. They're inclined to enter the city. "
The focus of Luo Shuqing's attention had already changed: "What about Nannan? Did they make contact with Nannan? Do you mean to say that Wu Jiong … "
His uncle finally put the electronic cigarette in his mouth. The vapor evaporated, and he sighed: "I don't know. I really don't know."
The husband and wife were no longer in the mood to talk in the bedroom. They just endured like this, letting the pressure of silence slowly accumulate.
Luo Nan's telepathic thoughts lingered for a few minutes before he felt very oppressed. He quietly withdrew.
Luo Nan was stupefied after his senses withdrew.
His aunt and uncle had guessed Her Majesty Empress Wu's origins due to problems with the source of their information, but their direction was completely wrong. But the information within their words made Luo Nan understand that in this world, in a certain corner of the boundless wilderness, there were some people who possessed a strange and intimate relationship with his grandfather and father.
The wilderness? Vagrants?
All right, he suddenly pulled out another thread … … It seemed to be very far away, but it seemed to be very heavy behind it.
Luo Nan lay on his bed and looked at the ceiling. His leisurely mood of looking for trouble instantly transformed into a myriad of thoughts, a feeling of impatience and depression.
There were too many things he needed to do, but it was hard to accomplish them.
He thought about it and realized that the little bit of internal refinement he had just obtained was nothing to be happy about.
