Who would have thought that the golden-lacquered wooden Buddha statue that was taken out from the underground chamber of the pirates' lair would actually hide a mini chiliocosm!
And in this mini chiliocosm, there was even half of the Present Rulai Sutra.
Although it was half a sutra and there was no title on the cover, Hong Yi was sure that this book was one of the three supreme secret manuals of the Daizen Temple, the Present Rulai Sutra.
Otherwise, the measurement and cultivation methods of all 108 acupoints wouldn't have been recorded in the book. One had to know that Arachnida Gigantea's Great Mighty Heavenly Dragon Bodhisattva Sutra didn't have the measurement and cultivation methods of acupoints!
Holding the half of the Present Rulai Sutra in his hand and listening to the quiet sound of snowflakes falling in the dark night outside, Hong Yi felt a sense of peace and serenity.
In the quiet snowy night, there was no wind at all, only the sound of snowflakes falling. What kind of feeling was it to suddenly hold a peerless secret manual in his hand? This was the feeling of being rich.
Hong Yi felt that with this 108 acupoint measurement and cultivation method, he would have more capital to fight against Hong Xuanji!
After memorizing the 108 acupoints, Hong Yi handed the half of the sutra to Chan Yinsha and let her enter the Qiankun Bag to cultivate while he recalled the acupoints recorded in the book.
Although Hong Yi's martial arts realm had already reached the grandmaster level, and with the state of Thoughtless Tranquility, he had cultivated the fist intent that ordinary cultivators couldn't.
But all of this was just the beginning.
If he was an ordinary person with the strength of a grandmaster, he could still join the army and become a general. After performing meritorious deeds, he would be conferred the title of nobility and live comfortably for the rest of his life.
But now, he had to deal with the unfathomable Grand Tutor of the Da Qian, a Human Immortal expert, and assist a relatively weak prince to ascend to the throne.
The cultivation of a Martial Arts Grandmaster was too weak to accomplish such a big thing.
Although he was already a Half Thunder Retribution expert, his strength in Dao techniques couldn't be used openly in the various battles in Yujing City.
Therefore, in Yujing City, martial arts cultivation was the most important thing to ascend to the imperial court.
Now that he had the 108 acupoints, Hong Yi knew that he would soon be able to reach the realm of Wu Sheng!
And the Wu Sheng realm was not the Wu Sheng like Chan Yinsha or the Black Wolf King, but the Wu Sheng like Wu Housekeeper, Wu Wenhui, Enduring Monk, and Divine Blade Wei Taicang!
By relying on the fist intent condensed by Thoughtless Tranquility, after Hong Yi advanced to Martial Sage, his Martial Cultivation was comparable to that of a Martial Sage who was one with the body.
Hong Yi estimated that once he reached this level of Martial Sage, his strength would immediately increase greatly. His prestige would also increase greatly. And this way, no one in the world would suspect that he had cultivated Dao techniques!
"Pass the imperial examinations and become the top scholar. Then take the imperial examinations and become the top scholar. In the history books, there was not a single person who wasn't a sage or a great scholar who was not a scholar. Although I'm a Dao cultivator and don't seek fame and fortune, I have to be dazzling in order to assist Prince Yu. Otherwise, my prestige in the imperial court will be too low. How can I work for Prince Yu? "
Hong Yi pondered in his heart.
The moment he received the half of the Present Rulai Sutra, Hong Yi's plan changed again.
He was originally prepared to take the imperial examinations in the spring and become the top scholar in the court examinations. Then, he would enter the imperial court as an official and win the support of the scholarly officials for Prince Yu in the central government.
But this was still not enough. There were too many old officials with prestige in the imperial court. To really stand out, one had to be someone like the Champion Marquis.
But Hong Yi felt that if he became the top scholar in both the civil and military examinations, he would be able to increase his reputation and seniority. Throughout the dynasties, those who became the top scholar in both the civil and military examinations were all great scholars.
Although this was a little too eye-catching, it was the only way to get things done in the imperial court.
"Although this is what I think, the specific situation still needs to be carefully analyzed."
Hong Yi thought for a while and decided to go to Yujing City to see Prince Yu the next morning to discuss the arrangements with him.
"Geomagnetic forces, spring down, feet facing, Geomagnetic forces, like glue, take root on the ground!"
In this tranquil snowy night, Hong Yi began to cultivate the Dharma of the acupoints.
He first cultivated the "Geomagnetic" acupoints on the soles of the feet recorded in this half of the "Present Rulai Sutra"!
In the soles of the feet, there were two sensitive points, the "Yongquan" acupoints. This was widely used in medicine. Many martial arts also cultivated and massaged these two acupoints.
But in the "Present Rulai Sutra", these "Yongquan" acupoints were not acupoints, but only two important areas. In the "Yongquan" acupoints, there was an extremely secretive, hard to find, and hard to find "trick". These two big tricks were called "Geomagnetic".
After cultivating these two acupoints, the lower body would be completely opened, and the human body would have a subtle connection with the earth.
"The acupoints of a human body are like the stars in the sky. There are countless of them, and each acupoint corresponds to the stars in the sky. Only the two Geomagnetic acupoints are opposite to the core of the earth. From this, it can be seen that in the Boundless Universe, the earth beneath one's feet is a star... These two acupoints are the most fundamental of a human body. Cultivating them first will yield twice the results with half the effort. "
Hong Yi used his spirit to measure the two "Geomagnetic" acupoints in the soles of his feet. He pondered over the annotations of the two "Geomagnetic" acupoints in the Present Rulai Sutra.
This "Present Rulai Sutra" did not have the words "As I have heard" like the "Sutra of the Past". All the descriptions and explanations were in plain language, without the slightest bit of exaggeration.
This showed that the "Sutra of the Past" was personally passed down by the ancient Great Buddha, while the "Present Rulai Sutra" was the result of the wisdom of countless Human Immortals, Wu Sheng, and even the Yang Spirit Immortals.
The reason why Hong Yi started to cultivate the two "Geomagnetic" acupoints was because of the records in the sutra.
The records in the sutra said that the two "Geomagnetic" acupoints were the easiest to connect with the core of the earth, and cultivated to a profound level. And after attaining the two "Geomagnetic" acupoints, it would be much easier to cultivate other martial arts.
The sutra also explained this very clearly, because the acupoints of a human body could connect with the stars in the sky. However, the stars were too far away from the human body. Only when one reached the Human Immortal Realm could one clearly sense them.
However, the stars in the two "Geomagnetic" acupoints of the soles of the feet could sense the earth under their feet! This made it much easier!
"So in the Boundless World, the earth under one's feet is also just the stars? The ancients said that the sky is round and the earth is flat … but how do they explain that? But now that the Rulai Sutra said this, there must be a reason for it! This is not the time to study astronomy, astrology, and geography. I should cultivate the two "Geomagnetic" acupoints and see if I can really connect with the core of the earth. I have experience. "
Hong Yi took off his shoes and stood barefoot. Following the posture recorded in the sutra, he transferred his Qi and blood to the bottom of his legs, his feet rooted, and his hands facing up.
At the same time, he visualized a khaki-colored star under his feet. This star was thick, solid, and in line with the will of the earth, turning here and there.
All of a sudden, the khaki-colored star turned to a subtle place, and Hong Yi had a feeling that he had become a piece of iron, and the earth under his feet had become a magnet! He sucked himself in so hard that he couldn't move.
He tried to lift his leg, and sure enough, it was incomparably heavy! It was as if it was filled with lead.
Hong Yi hurriedly dispersed the Qi and blood gathered in the two "Geomagnetic" acupoints. Immediately, his body regained its mobility.
After experimenting a few times, Hong Yi suddenly had a feeling. He felt like he was a towering tree with well-developed roots, firmly rooted into the earth's core.
And the two "Geomagnetic" acupoints in the soles of his legs, according to the cultivation method recorded in the sutra, one tightened and the other loosened. It was like a person breathing, fluctuating according to a certain frequency. Gradually, Hong Yi seemed to feel that he had absorbed the "nutrients" of the earth!
Breathe in … breathe in … breathe in …
During this repeated practice, Hong Yi suddenly had a vague feeling. This feeling was that his legs had become connected with the flesh and blood of the entire earth!
In fact, Hong Yi could vaguely feel the slight "pulse" of the entire earth!
Yes, the earth under his feet also seemed to be a living existence, but this kind of life was not something that anyone could understand …
"The sky has the God of Heaven, the earth has the God of Earth, the mountain has the God of Mountain, the river has the soul of a river, and all living things have spirits … But this kind of soul is not something that we humans can communicate with … and it is not something that we humans can understand … The earth also has a soul, but its soul and thoughts are running too slowly. A single thought running will take thousands of years, even tens of thousands of years, or even millions of years! The blue sea turns into mulberry fields … "
Feeling this wonderful realm, Hong Yi wished he could kneel on the ground and worship the wonders of this Boundless World.
At this moment, he had never had such a clear understanding of the entire Boundless World.
Hong Yi stood on the ground, and the cultivation method of the two "Geomagnetic" acupoints under his feet was running completely. He was completely immersed in a wonderful realm of communicating with the earth.
"Is this the result of the acupoints completely intersecting with the stars and sensing it? When I was in Wu Yuansheng, I relied on the remnant medicinal power of the Blood of the Heretic God to sense a little bit of the True Meaning of Stars. But now, without the Blood of the Heretic God, I can completely sense the earth! Indeed, the two acupoints of the Geomagnetic God should be cultivated first. Because we are closest to the earth. I wonder if there is a cultivation method for the two acupoints of the Geomagnetic God in the Taishang Dao Pill Scripture? Is there any in the Creation Dao Heaven Scripture? "
It was still early, but it was bright outside the cicada gauze window paper, because there was a thick layer of snow outside.
Under the reflection of the snow, the sky brightened up very early.
He had cultivated for the whole night, but Hong Yi felt unprecedentedly refreshed. He did not feel the slightest bit tired, and his body was filled with an indescribable endless energy. He wanted to run on the snowy ground!
But he held back, storing up this energy, and slowly pushed open the door.
Ah …
As he pushed open the door, a chilly aura came in.
"Let's try out the results of my cultivation." Looking at the spacious yard, which was filled with a foot of snow, Hong Yi casually stepped on it. After taking two steps, he did not feel like he was sinking in or unable to pull himself out.
His body moved faster and faster, but after a while, he reached the south wall, and after a while, he reached the north wall. He was unbelievably fast, and in a flash, the whole yard was filled with his shadow.
As for himself, it was a different feeling. As he casually walked, his legs used the movement method of the two acupoints of the Geomagnetic God, and he felt like he was gliding on the snow.
That's right, this feeling was indeed gliding!
Although there were still footprints on the snow when he stepped on it, Hong Yi's actions seemed to ignore the deep layer of snow. He stepped on it, pulled it out, and moved forward. His movements were light and fast like the lingering wind.
Creak, creak …
A few footsteps came from the other end of the yard, from the pavilion deep under the eaves. It was Chi Zhuiyang and his god-uncle.
The master and disciple saw Hong Yi strolling in the yard, and as he casually walked, shadows appeared. The footprints on the ground were extremely smooth, and their eyes widened.
"How can his leg technique be so fast!"
The god-uncle's eyes were like a golden fish with a lion's head. "If this leg technique can be improved, it will probably be comparable to our Yun Meng Wu Sheng Divine Marquis Ouyang Xing … This Perfected Hong Yi, without using Dao techniques, I'm afraid there are few in the world who can match him in martial arts!"
"Yun Meng Wu Sheng Divine Marquis Ouyang? I'm so ignorant, and I've never heard of such a person. "
Just at this moment, there was a gentle gust of wind, and a figure stopped in the corridor. It was Hong Yi who had stopped.
"Perfected Yi, with your leg technique, I'm afraid I won't even be able to touch your shadow." The god-uncle laughed. Ever since he knew that Hong Yi was a Thunder Tribulation Ghost Immortal, he called him Perfected Yi.
There was an unwritten rule among cultivators that any Daoist who transcended life and death and achieved the Ghost Immortal Realm could be called Perfected Yi.
"Divine Marquis Ouyang Xing guards our Yun Meng Northern Frontier, and is 100,000 miles away from Da Qian, so most people don't know about him. He is a profound martial artist, the number one martial artist in the Heavenly Dragon Sect. I've only heard of him, but I've never seen him. Rumor has it that Divine Marquis Ouyang Xing's leg technique is amazing, and he once raced with the Black Demon Qilin Horse in front of our emperor, Nalan Yihong. He exhausted two horses to death, but he was still full of energy, so the emperor conferred him the title of Divine Marquis, "the god-uncle explained.
"Yes, the world is big, and there are many outstanding people." Hong Yi nodded. "You two don't need to tidy up, I'll go to King Yu Jing's Mansion alone. There are many eyes and ears in the city, so it won't be so eye-catching if I go alone."
"Young Master, you got up early. We've brought some water for you to wash up."
At this moment, a few maidservants brought in a few basins of steaming water, towels, cups, an exquisite ivory brush, and refined salt for Hong Yi to wash up.
There was a large copper basin, a spotless white towel, a pure silver cup, and refined salt that flickered with a blue luster. There was also a long line of beautiful maidservants that bowed to serve him. This was simply the life of an immortal noble.
"What kind of salt is this? Is this ivory brush used for brushing teeth? "
Hong Yi asked as he looked at the blue luster and smelled the fragrant salt.
"This is Sky Blue Sand, the best refined salt produced in the saltworks of the Western Region. It has been added with many special processes, and it's a tribute for the imperial concubines to wash up. One tael of salt is equivalent to one tael of gold. This ivory brush was bought by First Miss from the Golden Hall of Jade Capital. It was seized from the Champion Marquis at the border, and it belongs to the nobles beyond the Great Wall, "a maid bowed.
"Why would people beyond the Great Wall use this to brush their teeth? It's probably something that the Champion Marquis came up with, "Hong Yi thought of something and asked," Uncle, do you know who the boss of the Golden Hall of Jade Capital is? "
Golden Hall was the largest jewelry store in Jade Capital, with branches all over the Da Qian states, and all kinds of treasures could be found in it.
"It's the property of the Jin Family in the border Qingzhou. The Jin Family is a 500-year-old aristocratic family, much richer than the aristocratic families in Nanzhou. I heard that because First Miss of the Jin Family got through to the Champion Marquis, these businesses are booming …" Uncle said.
"Yes," Hong Yi nodded, indicating that he already knew.
One of the properties of Murong Yan was the cornucopia of Jade Capital, which Hong Yi had known for a long time. The things it ran were similar to those of Golden Hall.
"This is all done by Murong Yan? It's too extravagant! " Looking at the sapphire powder-like salt emitting a rose fragrance, Hong Yi shook his head and casually picked up a silver cup and an ivory brush to brush his teeth. He then washed his face and changed into a wolf skin cloak that a servant girl had brought over. Without riding a horse, he walked out of Green Willow Mountain Manor step by step, heading toward Jade Capital City.
It was early in the morning, and there were few pedestrians on the road. Hong Yi fully exerted his leg kung fu and operated the two acupoints of "Polar Pole". His body was faster than a lightning-chasing horse, like the wind, and almost rushed out of the snow. In less than an hour, he arrived outside Jade Capital, where he saw the towering city wall and the gate, which was as high as thirty or forty people.
At this time, the gate had just opened, and teams of city defense soldiers lined up neatly to collect taxes, clear the snow, and so on.
There were a total of nine gates in this huge Jade Capital, and each gate was garrisoned with more than a thousand elites. The commander of the nine gates was also quite authoritative, and he was a follower of Prince Yu.
After shaking off the snow on his body, Hong Yi entered the city, but he did not go to Zhengyang Street first. Instead, he strolled to the outside of Marquis Wu Wen's mansion!
