Atlas of Heaven and Earth-Chapter 347: Grasp Essence Blood, Anchor Steady Spirit
Inside the living room, the burner emitted a calming and refreshing fragrance, the bamboo blinds swayed gently in the breeze. Through the arched doorway, one could see the carefully manicured bamboo, trees, flowers, and plants outside.
Occasionally, a refreshing breeze would blow in, making one feel exceptionally cool and comfortable.
Chen Chuan said, "I did see some things today, but I couldn't explain what they were, nor did I investigate them. I simply followed Senior Brother Cao's advice and guarded my mind, not paying attention to them."
Cao Guiqi nodded and said, "Encountering such phenomena during a breakthrough in the old methods is a sign of sufficient talent. Being able to guard against it and not be tainted by the phenomena means you've passed a rather difficult hurdle.
But this is only what you need to face in the early stages. In the future, during your Cultivation, you will face these phenomena from time to time. However, this isn't all bad. These are both your crises and resources for your Cultivation. As long as you constantly restrain yourself and are not disturbed by them, using them to temper and polish yourself, and to remove impurities, it will be beneficial to you." freёnovelkiss.com
He said, "Uncle Ding, please bring that "Record of Various Anomalies'."
Uncle Ding bowed slightly, turned, and left. After a while, he returned with a thread-bound book and handed it to Cao Guiqi. The latter waved his hand, indicating it should be given to Chen Chuan.
Cao Guiqi said, "This records some strange tales and rumors. It was originally stored in the Imperial Archives during the imperial era. This is a rubbing. It records the experiences of most old times Third-Limit Martial Artist after achieving their limit, and also includes some Skills and methods for dealing with them. Junior Brother Chen, take it back and read it; it may be enlightening."
Chen Chuan took it from Uncle Ding, thanked him, and opened it to take a look. He found that it was a vertically arranged edition, mostly using old variant characters, which looked a bit unfamiliar at first glance.
Fortunately, there was now the Boundary Token. As long as he compared it slightly, a horizontal version of modern characters could be displayed on the side screen, allowing him to read without hindrance.
Cao Guiqi picked up his teacup at this time, took a sip, put it down, and then sat up straight, saying, "You can take your time to read the contents inside, Junior Brother. I'll tell you about the Cultivation key points you should pay attention to in this cultivation level."
Chen Chuan put down the book and also sat up straight in his seat, showing a serious expression.
Cao Guiqi said, "From First Limit to Third Limit, each has its emphasis. According to the old saying, they are "building tendon bridges, erecting bone beams', "invigorating the six viscera, generating the five organs'. I imagine your teacher told you this when you were learning?"
Chen Chuan nodded.
Cao Guiqi said solemnly, "Now that you've reached the Third Limit, within this limit, what you need to focus on is "Grasping Essence Blood, Steadying Spirit'!
The so-called Essence Blood used to be called the vital energy of the human body, but the Martial Artist's "Essence Blood' is closely related to Mutated Tissue, and requires some special things and Drugs to nurture and refine. The accumulation of Essence Blood is especially important. A Martial Artist's fighting ability often depends on the amount of Essence Blood.
For example, Wei Wusheng's Iron Body Training focuses on this path. His ability to regenerate severed limbs, grow flesh on bones, and be reborn from near death lies in the vast Essence Blood accumulated behind him.
Its source lies in the "heart'.
The so-called Steady Spirit is the "ever-present spirit', which allows the Martial Artist's mind to be more acute and the whole body to be more smooth, becoming the true master of oneself.
Third Limit Martial Artists often possess amazing Speed and superior physical coordination, which is due to this.
Because the mind is fickle and often wanders, it needs to be nurtured and refined at all times to ensure that it remains stationed and does not lose its way. This requires special means of training, and the self-generated phenomena are one of them, which is why I say it's not all bad.
Martial Artists who do not come from a proper background usually find it difficult to nurture and refine this path, and can only slowly grind it out through crude and superficial methods in life-and-death battles. I have a set of methods here that you can take back for reference.
In addition, Wuyi Academy can sell you the corresponding methods. You can try both methods to see which one suits you. It doesn't matter if you use them at the same time. The mind is changeable, and the more you see, the more resilient it becomes.
And if the Steady Spirit is stationed deeply, it can Control the body's growth, prevent the loss of youth, and prolong life. Some Martial Artists often remain youthful and have jade-like skin even at the age of one hundred, which is due to this.
Its source lies in the brain.
Essence Blood and Steady Spirit complement each other, and it is best to advance both at the same pace, rather than focusing on one side, which would only result in a cripple."
Chen Chuan, upon hearing this, combined with what he knew and felt, and his heart suddenly became much clearer, revealing a thoughtful expression.
Cao Guiqi deliberately waited for a while, and when he saw that he had digested these things and his attention had returned, he continued, "Next, I will tell you how to cultivate.
There are only two ways: one is still using medicine. The Government, various large companies, and the Academy all provide Drugs for nurturing and refining, but unlike before, Third Limit Drugs are specially made, and the channels for obtaining them are scarce and abnormally expensive.
Although you are a Green Pouch Jade Pavilion drug tester, after reaching the Third Limit, the previous agreement is useless to you. You need to sign a certain agreement again. If you want to obtain them, that is one way, but such large companies may also use Drugs to deepen their Control over you, so you should consider carefully before making a decision.
As for the other path, this involves a message that cannot be leaked to the outside world at will. I am restricted by the agreement and cannot tell you at present, but don't worry, in at most one or two months, the Academy or the Processing Bureau will have someone to inform you of these things and explain them to you clearly."
Speaking of this, he reminded him again, "You must choose your path carefully from now on, but you are currently in the consolidation stage, so you don't need to think about these things for at least thirty or forty days. Later, I will give you a list of Drugs for regulating and maintaining, and you can buy them from the Academy according to this."
Chen Chuan cupped his fist in salute at the seat at this time, and said solemnly, "Thank you, Senior Brother Cao."
When the Processing Bureau introduced Senior Brother Cao as his teaching teacher, it was only to teach him to the Third Limit. As for the things after the Third Limit, it was actually unrelated to him, but he was still willing to give him guidance, for which he was sincerely grateful.
Cao Guiqi showed a smile and said, "The road ahead is difficult, and it will be difficult for me to guide you in Cultivation matters anymore. You have to walk it yourself. But I am a few years older than you and can still give you some advice. You can come and ask me if you have any questions."
Chen Chuan thanked him again. Next, the two of them no longer talked about these things, but just drank tea and enjoyed the scenery, talking about topics related to the Central City structure. In the evening, Chen Chuan bid farewell and left.
After he sent Chen Chuan away, Uncle Ding turned back and said, "The young master's vision is really good. Chen Little Brother is only eighteen years old and has achieved the Third Limit. He was able to kill a formidable thief like Wei Wusheng as soon as he came up. Maybe he can fulfill the young master's unfinished wish in the future."
Cao Guiqi shook his head, "He has his own path, and my path is over. There's no need to force others to walk it for me. I am willing to help, firstly because of the rare fate, and secondly because Chen Little Brother's character and temperament are not bad and are worth supporting."
He sipped his tea slowly, seemingly inadvertently saying, "Uncle Ding, remember, don't mention anything related to me in front of him in the future."
Uncle Ding bowed deeply and said, "Yes, young master, I have remembered."
After Chen Chuan came out of Mo Tie Mountain, he did not rush back, but slowly drove his Jiade car on the road, looking at the scenery on both sides.
After entering the Academy, he had been grasping training tightly. Now that he has entered the Third Limit, he doesn't need to be so tight, and it is rare to be able to relax.
Thinking that it was now the holiday season, he was still in the Academy before because of Cultivation. Now that everything that could be resolved has been resolved, he could go home.
Thinking of this, he prepared to return to Yang Zhi in the next two days.
He thought about it again and sent a voice message to Wu Bei, Old Qi, and some other acquaintances, telling them that he might be leaving Central City for a while in the next two days, and that they could contact him via Telegram if anything happened.
After returning to Mysterious Palace Tower, he first changed some water and food for Zhao Ming, watching the little thing eating happily there, thinking that since he was going back, it would not be appropriate to leave this little thing here, so it would be better to take it back with him.
After returning to the sofa and sitting down, he took out the Drugs list that Cao Guiqi had given him, looked at it a few times, thought about it, and took out a copy of the list he had transcribed before and compared it.
This list was a list of Drugs left by Instructor Wu and You Xing.
As Third Limit Martial Artists, both of them had hidden some Third Limit drugs.
In particular, You Xing had a lot of Drugs in the storage room. Most of the Drugs that Cao Guiqi had marked could be found on it, and according to the amount left, even if he used them every day, it would be more than enough to support him for a month or two, so it would be better to wait for him to come back from home before considering this matter in detail.
But after all, he was still a reserve law enforcement officer of the Processing Bureau, and he had to tell the bureau before going home for at least a month.
But he could talk about it tomorrow. He didn't want to do anything today, so he got up and put the list away, returned to the sofa, and opened the Marginal Channel.
At this moment, in the principal's assistant's office on the top floor of Mysterious Palace Tower, the scene of Chen Chuan fighting Wei Wusheng was being replayed on the light screen.
After a few minutes, the final picture was fixed at the moment when Chen Chuan stood in front of Wei Wusheng's fallen body.
Assistant Ling put one hand on the back of the sofa and one foot on the other leg, his eyes full of appreciation. In his judgment, Chen Chuan should not have entered the Third Limit for long, at most no more than two months, and at least only a few days.
Judging from the previous entry and exit records, Chen Chuan spent most of his time in the dormitory in the past one or two months and only went to watch the Arena tournament in the past two days. It is likely that he was accumulating before, and only broke through the boundary in the past few days.
But even if he has only entered this limit for a short time, he still has the Strength to defeat Wei Wusheng. This kind of talent is rare in the Third Limit, and the future growth Potential is immeasurable.
At this time, another person's voice sounded in the Boundary Token: "Now that it is confirmed that he is a Third Limit Martial Artist, what are you going to do? Are you going to tell him clearly now?"
Assistant Ling smiled and said, "Don't worry, we'll find him after he knows the specifics. He may not be able to accept what we say now. We can wait slowly."
