Chapter 7 - Refining Spirit CoresHearing that, Lu Shaoyu took a deep breath. Processing what Uncle Nan said, the Yin-Yang Martial Spirit Art is definitely not ordinary. After a while, he bit his finger and a drop of blood fell onto the jade slip.
"Swish…" Immediately after, a blinding light shone from the jade slip and drilled into the center of Lu Shaoyu"s brows turning into a large amount of information that was left in his mind.
"Quickly memorize the incantation and then use it to refine the fire and cold energies in your body. Otherwise, you"ll be in big trouble." Uncle Nan said.
"One Yin and one Yang makes the Dao, while the Yin is Yang, the Yang is Yin. Pure Yang as Azure Dragon, Pure Yin as White Tiger, those who are good enough add flavor, while those who are not good enough add Qi. The essence from the inside with the qi from the outside. Yin must use Yang, Yang must use Yin, create the mystical dantian, rest and return to the roots, imitate heaven and earth, take the sun as the heart and moon as a body, like a wind, ascend and fall out of the hights to the earth, create deep bonds, use rain and dew in the sky, an opportunity that happens in accordance to the heaven and earth."
Lu Shaoyu"s newly born Qi, with accordance to the Yin-Yang Martial Spirit, gathers in his Dantian, fills up his five viscera, strengthening his bones. He practices the Art of Circulating Yin and Yang. The comprehension can only occur when one sees the sky, and when one is still in a trance. There was an additional wisp of Yang"s righteous Qi.
Bits of information appeared in Lu Shaoyu"s mind. Under Uncle Nan"s guidance, Lu Shaoyu repeated the incantation three times and quickly began to circulate the Qi according to the it.
According to the method, Lu Shaoyu immediately felt the cold and hot energies in his body to slowly move within him, as if they were alive.
The two waves of energy were flowing uncontrollably through his body, rushing everywhere. Following Uncle Nan"s instructions, Lu Shaoyu immediately used the Yin-Yang Martial Spirit Art to guide the flow of the two energies into the meridians in his body. The warm current flowed through the meridians, bit by bit entering into his dantian. The cold current then turned into a slightly warm current of air and entered his brain, immediately causing his mind to feel extremely comfortable.
Under Lu Shaoyu"s slow guidance, the two energies in his body started to slowly come closer and closer to his mind, flowing into his dantian and his mind.
The two kinds of energy also shrunk and expanded within his meridians. Lu Shaoyu could feel that the meridians in his body had expanded by quite a bit as well. It was extremely painful, but right after this, his entire body became indescribably comfortable.
"Alright, that"s enough for tonight." After who knows how long time have pa.s.sed, Lu Shaoyu heard Uncle Nan"s voice and stopped cultivating.
"Haah..."
Lu Shaoyu exhaled a mouthful of foul air that formed in his body. It was as if he was exhaling a huge breath, and immediately the entire room was filled with a terrible stench, which surprised even Lu Shaoyu himself.
At this time, Lu Shaoyu felt that within his body, the two kinds of energy that he had refined, was not even a tenth of what it used to be. And right now, within his own dantian, there seemed to be a warm current flowing within it.
In his mind, Lu Shaoyu also felt that something more had happened. That kind of feeling was extremely mysterious, as if his own senses and consciousness had become a lot clearer.
"Not bad. It"s almost daybreak. You can go back first. Remember, you can"t talk about this with anyone. You can come here tomorrow night when I call you." Uncle Nan said to Lu Shaoyu.
"Yes, Uncle Nan." replied, and then left the secret room. It was already almost five o"clock in the morning, and as it was night time, Lu Shaoyu sneakily went back to his room. Although he had not slept for the entire night, he felt extremely spirited. Thinking about the Yin-Yang Martial Spirit Art he was training in, from the looks of it, he should be able to become an official Warrior soon.
In the night, Uncle Nan regained his old appearance, gazed in Lu Shaoyu"s direction and muttered: "The Yin-Yang Body, your talent is really not bad and is even stronger than that evil disciples. You can"t help but teach him. Let"s hope that you don"t become a second evil disciple. And that spirit emperor beast... Hah, that brat has had life worse than the servants... This luck... If his luck is this really good, then help me to the end."
After speaking, Uncle Nan then slowly disappeared into the night.
In the next few days, during the daytime, Lu Shaoyu did what he usually do, and just like the ordinary servants, he did everything. At night, Lu Shaoyu went to Uncle Nan"s secret room, and used the Yin-Yang Martial Spirit Art"s chants to refine the two energies on his body.
In the past few days, Lu Shaoyu had also gained a better understanding of Spirit Masters and Warriors from Uncle Nan. Spirit Master was same as Warrior, each level had nine stages.
Before this, the warriors were divided into Martial Disciple, Martial Warrior, Martial Master, Martial Spirit, martial general, Martial Commander, Martial King, Martial Saint, Martial Emperor. But before the Martial Disciple there actually is a Martial Qi realm. Only after reaching the peak of the ninth level of Martial Qi would one be able to break through to the Martial Disciple, and only at the Martial Disciple realm would one be considered as a true Warrior.
It was the same for Spirit Master. Before Spiritual Disciple, there were still nine levels of Spiritual Qi, and only by breaking through the ninth level of Spiritual Qi, would one be able to officially become a Spiritual Disciple, and become an official Spirit Master.
During the day, Lu Shaoyu worked as if he had an inexhaustible energy. Looking at him, Lu Xiaobai was surprised and he could only blindly guess what pill Lu Shaoyu had taken.
Lu Shaoyu was very clear of the benefits he had obtained. According to Uncle Nan, during these four days of refinement, he had already reached the eighth level of martial energy. Tonight, there was a high chance that he could break through to the Martial Disciple.
On the fifth night, as soon as the sky darkened, Lu Shaoyu had long since prepared to enter the secret room. After today, he would be an official Martial Disciple and this could be considered as fulfilling his first goal.
"You came really early today." Lu Shaoyu had arrived early, but Uncle Nan had arrived even earlier. Looking at Lu Shaoyu, he was shocked to the point that only he himself knew of it.
"Uncle Nan, can we start?" Lu Shaoyu asked Uncle Nan. He was itching to break through to Martial Disciple as soon as possible. In the future, he would be an official Warrior.
"Look at how impatient you are. OK, let"s begin." Uncle Nan smiled. Only in this secret room he didn"t have to use his appearance of an old man.
Lu Shaoyu sat cross-legged on the stone bed with his hands overlapping each other. Then he formed a hand seal in front of him, closed his eyes, took a deep breath and began to refining the two types, heat and cold, energies in his body. A moment later, Lu Shaoyu"s eyes were closed, breathing steadily and powerfully.
Slowly, a faint mist began to emit from the pores of Lu Shaoyu"s skin. If one were to carefully feel it, one would get a warm and one would get cold;
Seeing all of this, Uncle Nan revealed a satisfied smile. As time pa.s.sed, the mist around Lu Shaoyu slowly became denser.
"Nine stages of Martial Qi, nine stages of Spiritual Qi. Yin-Yang Body... It truly lives up to it"s name." Uncle Nan said in shock.
Time pa.s.sed and about eight hours later, the mist around Lu Shaoyu"s body started to become dense to the point that it enveloped his entire body. After that the mist stuck onto his body, emitting a l.u.s.ter similar to that of white jade.
Within Lu Shaoyu"s body, Lu Shaoyu currently felt that within his dantian, he was like a balloon that had been inflated full of air. At the same time, a warm current of energy was throbbing non-stop within his mind.
"It"s about time to break through..."
Sensing this change, after listening to Uncle Nan"s explanation for the past few days, Lu Shaoyu had some understanding of cultivation, and in this situation, he was on the verge of a breakthrough.
