"No wonder the old faker said that the Natural Taoist Figure is the seedling that can dominate the universe. It's not a lie."
"However, the Xiantian Skill was originally a method to enhance spiritual force. With the help of the Natural Taoist Figure, it makes sense."
Li Mu suddenly felt that since Hua Xiangrong's cultivation speed was so fast, he might as well teach her some Taoist magic arts.
Taoist magic arts were different from martial arts. The cultivation and application of Taoist magic arts did not require too much practice or hard work. As long as one's spirit was strong enough, qi and blood were full of vitality, and he could sense all kinds of elements between heaven and earth, he could use it. It required more talent than time and experience, so it was most suitable for Hua Xiangrong.
Therefore, Li Mu told her his idea.
"Okay, I'll practice whatever Young Master tells me to practice," Hua Xiangrong said happily.
In fact, even Li Mu could see that the girl didn't care what she could learn at all. What she liked was that Li Mu was always by her side. Li Mu's tone, expression, and demeanor when teaching her made her feel satisfied and comfortable.
…
At noon, Li Mu left the Holy House.
In the past two days, the news that he spent the night at Hua Xiangrong's place in the Holy House had spread all over Chang 'an. As the most eye-catching man in the city, every move of Li Mu's would be magnified. Just like those young and handsome stars on Earth, he was the center of attention, not to mention that Hua Xiangrong, who was also a star, was among them.
However, when Li Mu left the Holy House, he keenly felt that someone had been following him on the way, and the strength of the tracker was quite strong.
"It seems that Lord Zhenxi's Mansion finally takes action?"
Li Mu remained calm.
He did not return to the Pig-Herding Alley, but went directly to the military cemetery of Chang 'an Tombs.
On the way back from Taibai County, Li Mu had already sorted out all kinds of theories about geomancy and earth qi that the old faker had told him and roughly figured out a way to absorb the Spiritual Qi of the Earthveins. He needed to go to the military cemetery immediately to try it.
Time waited for no man.
Now, Li Mu needed to improve his strength as soon as possible.
A moment later, the military cemetery was in sight.
Because of the murder three days ago, the Defending Warriors in the military cemetery had been replaced by a new batch. The cemetery was heavily guarded and temporarily closed. The elites in the army had completely controlled the front and back of the monument. A tense and solemn atmosphere pervaded the Archway Street.
Li Mu did not enter from the front door.
Riding on the chrysanthemum leopard, he chose a remote wall and climbed over it.
According to the memory of that day, Li Mu soon came to the center of the military cemetery where the Earthqi and Earthvein converged.
With a sweep of his Heaven Eyes, he was able to see the distribution of the entire underground spiritual vein.
"That's right, it's here."
Li Mu let the chrysanthemum leopard play with its eggs, and he began to set up the formation.
In order to absorb the energy from the underground spirit vein, it was impossible to rely solely on a cultivation technique. Instead, one had to set up a formation at the place where one was cultivating. Through the formation, one could draw out the energy from the underground spirit vein and absorb it into one's body.
The formation Li Mu chose was called the Leaping Dragon Formation, which was one of the many formations the old faker had mentioned. As the name suggested, it had the guiding power, especially for the underwater and underground Spiritual Qi. It was also the best guiding formation Li Mu could set up with his current cultivation.
Li Mu had already prepared the jade pieces, so he put them into 18 positions around him. Then, he walked diagonally and straight. After 21 steps, he chose the Formation Eye and put the last piece of the core jade piece into it.
This kind of jade piece was carved and refined with fine jade in advance. It could be regarded as a semi-taoist instrument, which could be used to activate the formation. With Li Mu's current cultivation, it was not difficult to refine it.
After everything was set up, Li Mu guided the Spiritual Qi in the air and injected it into the core jade piece.
The jade pieces that had been set up in all directions began to glow, and then gradually dimmed. As the formation communicated, the earth began to tremble slightly for a while, and then everything returned to normal.
But through the Third Eye, Li Mu could clearly see that the Spiritual Qi of the underground Earthvein began to surge as if a sleeping dragon had been awakened. Then, at the core place where the Earthvein converged, a bucket-thick stream of Earthly Qi rushed up, broke through the soil layer dozens of meters deep, and gushed out.
"It's done!"
Li Mu was overjoyed.
The process was simpler than he had imagined.
He was about to enter the formation and begin to absorb the energy from the Earthvein, but he suddenly thought of something. Then, he set up a small formation to conceal aura and alert outside the Leaping Dragon Formation. Then, he returned to the formation and began to run the Xiantian Skill to absorb the energy from the Earthvein.
The place where Li Mu was sitting was exactly where the bucket-thick stream of Earthly Qi gushed out.
The moment the Xiantian Skill was activated, Li Mu immediately felt a majestic tide of Spiritual Qi, like a vast ocean, wrapping his whole body in it. When he opened his mouth to breathe, he felt that what he breathed was Spiritual Qi Liquid instead of air.
Countless pores all over his body opened, and the Spiritual Qi of the Earthvein crazily poured into his body through the pores.
Li Mu felt that at this moment, he was like a sponge that was crazily absorbing water, or like a balloon that was being inflated, it was expanding rapidly.
The energy of heaven and earth that countless martial artists dreamed of poured into Li Mu's body like swallows returning to their nest.
The Xiantian Skill was almost activated to the extreme in an instant, frantically refining and controlling the power of the Earthvein to melt into his body, nourishing his body, and at the same time, crazily flowing in the meridians and channels in his body, like a flood violently washing a long-dried riverbed, constantly washing away the sand and impurities in the riverbed, and constantly widening the width and depth of the riverbed!
Li Mu was overjoyed.
"This is the feeling of internal qi!"
"Can I finally cultivate the internal qi?"
He saw a glimmer of hope.
He calmed his mind and ran the Xiantian Skill, trying to restrain and refine the Spiritual Qi of the Earthvein that poured into his body, letting it run in the body one by one according to the route of the Xiantian Skill, constantly scouring the meridians, nourishing the body, and warming the organs.
Time flew.
In the blink of an eye, a day had passed.
When the lanterns were lit, Li Mu stopped this time's cultivation.
He had to stop.
Because he felt that his body had become saturated, like a balloon that had been inflated to the limit, and if it was inflated again, it would explode.
In fact, Li Mu's body, which had been transformed by the Zhenwu Boxing, was so strong that he could completely absorb the Spiritual Qi under the eruption of the Earthqi of the Earthvein and persist for such a long time. If it were other martial arts masters, even the peerless masters in the Natural Realm, they would have been stuffed to death dozens of times.
Li Mu stopped the Leaping Dragon Formation.
The underground Earthqi of the Earthvein no longer gushed.
He did not hurry to leave, but continued to run the Xiantian Skill in the terminated formation.
This time, it was not to absorb, but to completely refine the huge Spiritual Qi of the Earthvein accumulated in his body and turn it into his own.
Another two hours passed.
Li Mu's face showed a happy expression.
Because he finally felt the heat flow of the internal qi.
This time, it was not because of watching the dance of Hua Xiangrong's Taoist Figure, nor was it because of the previous accumulation, but the real production of internal qi, like a hot spring, flowing between the eight extra-meridians. At first, it was only as thin as a hair, but as a large amount of Spiritual Qi of the Earthvein was refined in his body, this kind of beautiful heat flow became more and more intense, swimming in the meridians in Li Mu's body like a small river.
In the blink of an eye, four hours passed.
The night was extremely dark, with low clouds and a dark sky.
Li Mu was surrounded by layers of white mist like the evening mist. When he breathed through his mouth and nose, there was a white airflow like dragons and snakes coming out, circling around him, and then penetrating into his pores all over his body, forming a strange cycle.
This was a sign of success in refining qi.
In Li Mu's meridians, there was a stream of heat as thick as a pinky. It flowed along the eight extra-meridians and spread to his limbs and bones. Then, it returned to the meridians and finally settled in his lower abdomen. Like a small sun, it kept emitting warmth.
Another two hours passed.
The sky was already dimly lit.
Li Mu took a long breath and then opened his eyes.
His eyes were like two twinkling stars in the darkness. There was a special color in them, and they were brighter than usual.
"I finally made it."
He opened his mouth and inhaled.
The white mist around his body, like a whale sucking water, all went into his mouth and nose.
Then, Li Mu slowly stood up.
On his face, there was a relieved smile.
After such a long time, he finally found a way to cultivate the internal qi. Feeling the circulation in his meridians, which was like hot spring water, Li Mu really wanted to roar.
Since he came to this world, a stone that had been pressing on his heart was finally shattered.
The internal qi was finally produced.
The old faker had emphasized the role of internal qi more than once. He was sent to this planet not only to let him practice one or two levels of the Xiantian Skill and the Zhenwu Boxing, but also to make great achievements in martial arts. How could he make great achievements without internal qi? Li Mu had always been very clear about this. That was why he tried his best to cultivate the internal qi.
To cultivate external but not internal was to cultivate the body but not the spirit.
To cultivate internal but not external was to cultivate the spirit but not the body.
No matter which one it was, how could he take the lead in the competition with so many talents in the universe?
Only by cultivating both internal and external could he have both the body and the spirit.
But now, Li Mu's "second leg" was finally cultivated.
