White light poured down on his body, Meng Qi only felt the long sword on his right chest broken, and the strong crossbow bolts on his back fell off one after another. The wound healed quickly, and the dizziness caused by excessive blood loss and the difficulty in breathing due to lung injury disappeared soon.

  The dark golden flow of skin, under the last sword, the broken golden bell cover is restored.

  "Haha, no need for eighteen years, I'm a good man again!" This time the harvest was rich, Meng Qi's mood was not bad, while exercising his hands and feet, he burst out laughing like a complacent little man.

  At this time, the square was empty except for him.

  "Haven't they returned yet? Is time out of sync?" Meng Qi looked around, suppressing his worry that they had all perished, and walked to the central light pillar. He first took out the small jade Buddha, letting the Lord of the Six Paths of Reincarnation judge its value.

  "Cold Jade Buddha Statue, mysterious object, unknown value, unknown use, suspected to be some kind of symbol, Dao mark or key. Five million merits can forcibly decipher it." The master of the Six Paths said emotionlessly.

  50,000 merits... Meng Qi could only chuckle and suppress the doubts in his heart. He put away the small jade Buddha and generated an ancient mysterious book based on the "Fantasy Shape Method" in his mind.

  "'Phantom Shape Great Method', a method for opening up one's potential, can be exchanged for 200 good deeds."

  Meng Qi saw that there was no "fake" or "missing" character, and his heart was greatly settled. He took another look at the exchange and quickly found the "Fantasy Shape Method" according to the arrangement rules. It turned out that it was originally worth 400 good deeds, which means that Duan Xiangfei did not cheat and the secret book was not wrong.

  He thought for a moment, put away the secret book, and didn't directly exchange it for good deeds. He decided to ask Jiang Zhiwei and others if they knew about the three major secrets first.

  "Little monk, you're back quite early." Just as the thought arose, Meng Qi heard Jiang Zhiwei's melodious voice like a yellow oriole. Turning his head around, he happened to see a ball of white light enveloping Jiang Zhiwei, who seemed to be severely injured and almost on the verge of death.

  Meng Qi smiled and said: "Maybe I completed the task faster."

  The white light dissipated, and Jiang Zhi walked over with a heavy bronze-green scabbard. Her black hair was still simply tied up, elegant yet radiant, only the goose-yellow long skirt had changed to ivory - she seemed to have a preference for simple yet warm colors.

  "Unexpectedly, it's a solo mission." Jiang Zhi smiled and said, "I was worried that you would be inexperienced for your first solo action."

  In their previous conversation, Meng Qi told them his own speculation based on "experience", thinking that there might be single-person tasks and team confrontation tasks, so when it really appeared, Jiang Zhiwei was not panicked.

  "I have a golden bell to rely on, even if I'm inexperienced and make mistakes, there's still room for correction." Meng Qi felt fortunate that he had taken this detour, after all, being in the reincarnation task, it was impossible to accumulate experience and grow step by step like normal Jianghu people.

  "Speaking of which, he was stunned: "Jiang girl, what are you carrying on your back?""

  Jiang Zhiwei carried a large deep blue package on her back.

  Jiang Zhiwei wrinkled her slightly upturned nose: "Little monk, we can be considered as having gone through life and death together now. Always calling me 'Miss Jiang' is too formal, isn't it? Just call me Zhiwei, of course, I think calling me Sister Zhiwei is even better, haha."

  Meng Qi's face turned red with embarrassment, resenting that Jiang Zhiwei wanted to be the older sister, but who could blame her when his body was three or four years younger than hers?

  "Let's just forget it." He wiped away non-existent cold sweat.

  Jiang Zhiwei smiled lightly and said: "I knew it, you've always been mature, I'm afraid you don't like being called sister."

  She was open-minded and didn't dwell on the issue, pointing to the package on her back with a smile: "This time I have some spare time for my mission, I've collected many secret recipes, which should be enough to exchange for over a hundred good deeds."

  "I had planned to do so, but I couldn't get away." Meng Qi said with a sigh of relief, fortunately, he finally got the "Fantasy Shape Method", "So many secret books, I'm afraid it's not something one person can collect?"

  "Yes, I've asked many people for help, but they're all ordinary secret recipes, not worth mentioning." Jiang Zhiwei confirmed Meng Qi's guess.

  Now that you mention the secret recipe, Meng Qi hurriedly inquired: "Zhiwei, do you know about the three major hidden treasures?"

  "I don't know." Jiang Zhi slightly shook her head and pondered for a moment before saying, "Maybe the names are inconsistent, you can elaborate."

  "It should refer to the lower dantian, middle dantian and upper dantian. I'm not clear about the first two, but the latter is cultivating the ancestral aperture of the eyebrows, which can open up the spiritual treasury, interfere with the enemy's senses in battle, and make him hallucinate." Meng Qi explained in detail.

  Jiang Zhiwei suddenly smiled: "I understand. After the nine orifices are opened, to make the internal and external heavens intersect, one must break through the mysterious gate of life and death, step on the 'bridge of heaven and earth', this step is to cultivate the ancestral orifice of the eyebrows, if successful, can sense the changes in the heavens, stir up some heavenly phenomena, called half-step outer scene, after that is the internal and external heavens intersecting, advancing to the outer scene."

  "Last time, Duo'er was in this state, you didn't fight with him, don't know that under his spiritual invasion, we were about to be struck by heavenly thunder at any moment, the feeling of being hit by five thunders. If not for opening my eyes, I could barely break through the illusion, I couldn't hurt him at all, even so, it was still a great loss."

  "What is referred to as the spiritual secret treasure should be precisely this place where the primordial spirit resides, the mysterious passageway of the xuan guan."

  "As for the middle dan tian and lower dan tian, there are steps to condense them in the process of opening the nine orifices."

  "You haven't seen the open period's gongfa, no wonder you don't understand."

  Meng Qi didn't interrupt and listened attentively as Jiang Zhiwei explained, and indeed it was the same as what he had guessed.

  Waiting until Jiang Zhiwei finished speaking, Meng Qi thought for a moment and said: "Zhiwei, the world I experienced this time has a unique method that can condense and refine the lower dantian, middle dantian, and open the ancestral aperture of the third eye without opening one's apertures."

  Jiang Zhi's expression rarely showed surprise: "Is there such a thing? The body can't withstand the backlash of breaking through the life and death mysterious gate, stepping on the Tian Di bridge and collapsing."

  She and Meng Qi belonged to a world where there was once the Taoist Ancestor, with many immortals and gods. There were countless people of extraordinary talent, among whom many powerful beings had tried to bypass the Heavenly Nine Apertures and directly cultivate the Mysterious Gate of the Eyebrow Center - they believed that the physical body would eventually decay, only the spiritual primordial spirit could last forever, so why not abandon the physical body and directly cultivate the spirit?

  However, similar attempts all ended in failure, leaving only a warning phrase "Ten thousand calamities and evil spirits cannot enter the sacred".

  Before Meng Qi could respond, Jiang Zhiwei furrowed her brow in doubt and said: "Could it be that you used heavenly treasures like Lianqi Shaqi and Bingjing Huoling to temper your body, allowing it to withstand the backlash? But this is too extravagant, and it would also cut off the path for future cultivation."

  Because of this, the body has become a kind of divine treasure, and it is no longer possible to cultivate in the normal way. Of course, during the external scene period, one will definitely condense the heavenly material and earthly treasure, thereby deepening the interaction with heaven and earth and enhancing the power of the moves, but this completely belongs to two different lines of thought and schools of thought.

  "No, they directly cultivate it." Meng Qi felt that the world where Duan Xiangyi and Cui Xuan were in was a bit strange.

  Jiang Zhiwei pursed her lips, looking a bit worried, and said: "I don't know why, it's strange, really strange."

  "Anyway, I see they're all still kicking, no adverse effects." Meng Qi also felt puzzled, "Why don't you take a look at this technique and see what's going on?"

  Compared with Jiang Zhiwei, Meng Qi's understanding of the enlightenment period is indeed shallow.

  "Give it to me? Then you'll be able to exchange for half of the good deeds." Jiang Zhi said with a slight frown.

  If Mung Kei shares the "Fantasy Form Great Method" with someone, for every person he shares it with, the good deeds that can be exchanged for the "Fantasy Form Great Method" will be halved. Additionally, that person cannot use the "Fantasy Form Great Method" to exchange for good deeds and teach others unless they obtain it through another channel.

  Meng Qi was about to say it's nothing, when Jiang Zhi suddenly smiled: "Anyway, I'm very interested in this method that can open the Xuan Guan without needing to cultivate the Nine Apertures of Heaven, so later on, you can owe me some good deeds and I'll make up for them."

  She saw Meng Qi being modest and quickly added: "Brother, let's settle the account later, I don't want us to become enemies in the future because of similar things."

  "Alright." Facing Jiang Zhiwei's expectant gaze, Meng Qi couldn't decline and handed over the "Fantasy Shape-shifting Technique".

  Jiang Zhiwei took the secret book, smoothed her hair, and roughly flipped through it. After a while, she said with a mix of anger and amusement: "So that's what it is!"

  "Hmm?" Meng Qi waited for her explanation.

  Jiang Zhi smiled and said with a strange expression: "Because the Miao Xin Xuan Guan was never opened."

  "What?!" Meng Qi exclaimed in shock.

  Jiang Zhiwei gathered her emotions and smiled: "This technique is only the initial condensation, stimulating the ancestral orifices, producing all sorts of mysterious phenomena, but not truly opening it up. Therefore, there is no backlash. If you want to directly open the Mysterious Gate, your body will also suffer from the counterattack of the external heaven and earth. Either you will be severely injured and difficult to heal, or you will be directly annihilated, leaving only a wisp of spirit or yin energy."

  In Meng Qi's world, unless it is a powerful being above the external scene, ordinary people will die after their death, and their yuan Shen and spirit will not be able to survive, and they will quickly return to heaven and earth, whether it is directly disappearing or having a hell in the underworld, no one knows at present.

  Of course, if the environment is special and the opportunity is clever, there are also ordinary people who leave behind a yin spirit. This is another life, but the yin spirit is easily damaged and does not last long. After "dying" again, it will be completely annihilated.

  "In other words, the initial condensation of the eyebrow's ancestral orifice can bring about the ability to disturb the enemy's five senses and create illusions?" Meng Qi didn't disappoint, but instead became joyful.

  Jiang Zhiwei nodded: "Yes, if it is stimulated and condensed again, and the Xuan Guan has not been opened, then it may have the ability to change the heavenly phenomenon within a very small range. Of course, it must be far from what Duer Cha can do."

  "That's right! There are such rumors in that world!" Meng Qi exclaimed with surprise.

  Jiang Zhiwei smiled self-deprecatingly: "Indeed. For us, the only purpose of cultivating the ancestral aperture of the eyebrows is to open the mysterious gate of life and death. The methods and techniques are all designed for this purpose, and we never thought it was just a matter of stimulation. But they may have never thought about the mystery of life and death, and instead took a step-by-step approach, which is another way of saying 'darkness under the lamp'."

  "She paused and said: 'This method can be practiced in conjunction with others, not only will it bring about all sorts of mystical phenomena, but also when the time comes to open the gate of life and death, it will make things much easier.'"

  "Right!" Meng Qi was delighted with this.

  Before the words had fallen, two more milky white light pillars emerged on the square, Meng Qi and Jiang Zhiwei exchanged a glance, and simultaneously put their minds at ease.

  "We can discuss what to exchange now." Jiang Zhi smiled and said to Meng Qi.
