Feeling the ease of his meridians after practicing Yi Jin Jing, Li Hui felt that if he continued to cultivate "Liedi Jue" at this moment, he would easily break through the third layer of the Qi Refining stage. Moreover, Li Hui had a feeling that breaking through the fourth and fifth layers later on wouldn't be difficult either.
However, at this time, Li Hui had already made up his mind to cultivate the Five Elements Reincarnation Technique and would not waste any more time and energy on his original skills.
The method of cultivation also has its differences. A good method, when cultivated, will have a solid foundation and breakthroughs will come naturally. Moreover, when facing cultivators of the same level, it will also have a great advantage in terms of spiritual energy density.
On the contrary, some kung fu methods may be simple to practice in the early stages, but as you progress, it's like walking down a narrow alley, and you'll encounter more and more bottlenecks.
Li Hui originally cultivated the "Earth Crack Technique", which was just an ordinary mediocre earth attribute technique. But a good technique is not easy to come by.
The "Five Elements Reincarnation Formula" is undoubtedly a top-notch formula! The foundation is exceptionally solid, and the more you cultivate it to a higher level, the more you feel like a dragon entering the sea or a giant bird soaring into the sky.
The foundation is solid, there's no room for doubt. In the same refining period, other techniques only need to lay the foundation once, while the "Five Elements Cycle Technique" requires dispersing and re-laying the foundation five times. Can it not be solid?
However, it can be imagined how difficult it is to cultivate the Five Elements Reincarnation Technique.
At this time, Li Hui had put on the Qian Huan Bao Yi, and after taking a bath in the lake water, Li Hui's face was radiant, his skin white with a hint of red, his hair casually draped over his back, wearing a black tunic, paired with Li Hui's delicate yet resolute face, handsome with a hint of coldness.
But this was not the time to pretend to be a beautiful young man. Li Hui's heart moved, and he poured a few points of spiritual power into the Thousand Illusions Treasure Robe. The Thousand Illusions Treasure Robe immediately transformed into a pair of black trousers, while his upper body was bare.
The next thing to be done is more dangerous and painful than easy tendon and marrow washing: dispersing Gong!
As for dispersing and re-cultivating, no one has more experience than Yuan Hua True Person. Cultivating the Five Elements Reincarnation Technique is precisely the process of dispersing and re-cultivating. Dispersing is different from exhausting the spiritual energy within the body. Exhausting spiritual energy only requires sitting in meditation for a few hours to recover, whereas dispersing is to disperse all one's cultivation.
Depletion of spiritual energy is equivalent to slowly emptying the spiritual energy stored in the dantian qihai, while scattering one's skills means dispersing the qihai that stores spiritual energy as well. The pain involved need not be mentioned; with a slight carelessness, the dantian will shatter and life will be lost.
After taking a pill to protect his heart, Li Hui closed his eyes and slowly entered a meditative state. He first recalled the steps and precautions for dispersing his powers as told by Yuan Huan Zhenren. Then he sank his mind into his dantian, adjusting his mental energy and internal spiritual power to their optimal states.
According to Yuan Huo Zhen Ren's method, when dispersing one's cultivation, the cultivator's own accomplishments cannot be wasted and dispersed into the heavens and earth. Instead, they are used to temper the meridians and flesh!
In the calmness of the dantian, Li Hui slowly controlled a thread of spiritual energy to separate from the qihai and spread in the opposite direction of his usual practice, slowly dispersing into the meridians.
The spiritual energy transformed into tiny white lights, just like water droplets disappearing into the soil, and seeped into his meridians. At first, Li Hui only felt a warm and fuzzy sensation, with a slight numbness, similar to taking a hot bath after being tired, it was an indescribable comfort.
It's like poking an anthill in the dantian qihai, at first it's just a trickle leaking out, then slowly the anthill becomes as big as a rat hole.
The spiritual energy in the meridians was no longer a faint white light, but rather like raindrops falling down and seeping into the soil. At this time, Li Hui's feeling was no longer a numbness like soaking in hot water, but rather a wave of burning pain in his meridians and muscles.
The speed at which the spiritual energy dissipated was slowly increasing, and the raindrops gradually turned into heavy rain. At this point, it was no longer a scorching pain, but rather the tendons, muscles, and bones felt as if they had grown countless sharp thorns inside, and now these thorns began to pierce through the muscles, growing outward.
Once the dispersal of energy began, it was no longer something Li Hui could control. At this moment, the only thing he could do was protect his heart and mind, stubbornly holding on to a single point of clarity.
The spiritual energy was no longer like rainwater falling, but gathered on the ground into streams, and then the streams converged into small rivers, and the small rivers merged into a torrent... Li Hui's pain was also increasing. At this time, every tendon and muscle in Li Hui's body was undergoing a transformation as if it were being tempered like a sword.
The meridians had already been widened enough by the medicinal power's first flush, but under the impact of this spiritual power flood, they split open again and were repaired by the spiritual power, undergoing another transformation. As for his entire body's muscles, it was the first time they had endured such a transformation, Li Hui only felt that he was going to be torn apart inch by inch.
From the outside, Li Hui's upper body was bare, with bulging veins and muscles that had become abnormally large. A white mist swirled around him, and threads of fresh blood seeped out from his skin...
……
It wasn't until a whole day had passed that the dispersal of his energy was finally complete. During this time, Li Hui felt like he couldn't hold on several times, but fortunately, at critical moments, the dan medicine protecting his heart meridian took effect, and warm currents protected his heart meridian from being invaded.
It wasn't until two hours after he finished dispersing his energy that Li Hui slowly opened his eyes, which were filled with exhaustion.
"Damn it! This thing is really treacherous, almost couldn't hold on!" Recalling the various situations when he was dispersing his powers, Li Hui couldn't help but feel a little frightened.
Looking at the bloodstains all over his body, Li Hui couldn't help but smile wryly. He took off the Qian Huan Bao Yi again and tried to put it back into the storage ring, but no matter how hard he tried, the storage ring didn't respond in the slightest.
After feeling the empty dantian, Li Hui finally came to his senses and realized that he had no spiritual energy left at this moment. But in terms of cultivation, he was no different from an ordinary person.
He let out a wry smile, placed the Qian Huan Bao Yi on the table, and then jumped back into the lake.
After putting on his clothes again, Li Hui clearly felt that although he no longer had spiritual energy inside him, the strength of his muscles had increased to an unbelievable height. Although when dispersing his spiritual energy, his muscles and bones did not completely absorb all the spiritual energy, but one-third of it was absorbed by his body. At this time, Li Hui could fight a fierce beast with just his physical strength without any pressure.
This result is quite satisfactory, relying on the self-cultivation of the three layers of Qi to transform the body and achieve such an effect. From now on, continuously dispersing and re-condensing Qi, I don't know what kind of evolution my physical strength can reach.
"Yuán Huáng Shī Zūn mentioned that all things return to the Tao, but Xian cultivators only focus on refining their Qi while neglecting their physical bodies, which become weak and feeble. It seems that from now on, I must not neglect my physical cultivation either. Moreover, only when the physical body is strong enough can it withstand the impact of repeated dispersal of Qi on the body!"
Unconsciously, Li Hui has already embarked on the path of double rest for both body and law.
However, at this time, the top priority is that he should have a good rest. The continuous hustle and bustle has made Li Hui feel really overwhelmed.
Regardless of anything else, Li Hui directly lay down on the floor of Linshui Pavilion and fell asleep.
He slept for five watches and when he woke up, Li Hui only felt invigorated and refreshed.
With both body and mind in optimal condition, Li Hui formally began his cultivation of the Five Elements Reincarnation Technique.
Sitting cross-legged on the ground, Li Hui first spat out a mouthful of air, knowing that he was breathing steadily according to a certain rhythm. Only then did his mind sink into the dantian, and following the method of "The Five Elements Cycle", he began to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
Sitting in stillness, seemingly simple, is actually extremely difficult for those who are practicing for the first time. First, one needs a clear and empty spirit platform, then focus one's mind on the dan tian, striving to feel the existence of the heavenly and earthly spiritual energy. Then, absorb the heavenly and earthly spiritual energy into the body, making it circulate throughout, finally storing it in the dan tian qi hai.
It's extremely difficult to simply eliminate all distractions from the mind. Li Hui was only dispersing his energy and re-cultivating, which is still relatively easy to do. The real difficulty lies in how to achieve perfect balance of the five elements' spiritual energy within the body! This is precisely the key to entering the Five Elements Reincarnation Technique, as well as its most difficult point.
Three days passed and Li Hui still sat quietly there, motionless. As if he had become one with the universe.
For three days, Li Hui tried to merge the five different spiritual energies into a vortex. After countless failures, Li Hui finally succeeded in simultaneously introducing the five different heavenly and earthly spiritual energies into his body, circulating them through the microcosmic orbit, and then forming a small vortex in his lower dantian.
The dantian qihai formed by the "Five Elements Cycle" is not static, but rather a vortex of five spiritual energies that slowly merge together, with the Five Elements generating each other and eventually rotating slowly within the dantian.
The formation of this cyclone indicates that the first step has been successful!
