Chapter 113: Essence of Water, Refining Immortality When Shan Wanjing was using the "Eternal Life Secret" method to sense the essence of heaven and earth, Ouyang Feng also used this sensing method, preparing to see which kind of essence of heaven and earth he was more compatible with. Sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed, practicing his mental skills and sensing the God of Hell, Ouyang Feng suddenly perceived colorful spots of light, each of which represented a kind of essence of heaven and earth. Of course, the essence of heaven and earth is not only Yin Yang and Five Elements, but also other kinds of essence that are derived from Yin Yang and Five Elements but have their own systems. However, the secret of longevity can only use Yin Yang and Five Elements. Ouyang Feng, because of his "Dragon-Subduing Dao Sound", can also come into contact with the essence of thunder. But being able to sense and touch does not mean being able to refine. If one's constitution and physique are not compatible, even if one can sense the essence of heaven and earth, and even guide it into the body, refining it will be half the effort with twice the results, or even impossible to refine it at all. Ouyang Feng followed the Changsheng Jue method and performed the corresponding tests one by one. After getting the results, he slowly opened his eyes with a strange look in his eyes. "Gold... The essence of heaven and earth that best matches me is actually gold among the five elements." Well, even though it’s not the “Western Poison,” my name “Dragon King of the Western Extreme” still has a “West” in it, and I wear white clothes all day long. Am I really destined to be rich in this life? Apart from gold among the five elements, the second most matching element is thunder essence. This may be related to the fact that he has practiced "Dragon Subduing Daoyin" for more than two years and has stored thunder essence in his lungs for many years.
With his current aptitude, he could successfully refine these two kinds of essence of heaven and earth. The matching degree of the essence of heaven and earth of other attributes is still far from enough, but in the future, as his root aptitude continues to improve and Hunyuan Wuji Gong continues to evolve, it will not be a dream to embrace everything. "Gold and thunder... Since the first match is the gold of the Five Elements, and I am destined to be with the gold in my life, then I will refine the gold of the Five Elements first. Well, I can't refine it now. I have to figure out the method of using the infinite true energy to refine the essence of heaven and earth. And I have to wait for a drop of 'Zhenlin Ganlu'. With the support of Zhenlin Ganlu, even if there is a problem, it can be rescued..." After pondering for a while, he looked at Shan Wanjing again and saw that she had also ended her sensing and was looking at him with surprise. "Successful?" Ouyang Feng asked with a smile. Shan Wanjing nodded vigorously, her cheeks flushed with excitement: “It matches!” "What kind?" "Water of the Five Elements!" Ouyang Feng's eyes couldn't help but become a little subtle. Seeing his subtle look, Shan Wanjing was startled and said worriedly: "Sir, is water a bad element? Is it because I practice swordsmanship that gold is the most suitable element for me?" "That's not true." Ouyang Feng shook his head. "Kendo is not limited to the five elements. Gold, wood, water, earth, thunder, fire, wind, frost, rain and snow can all be used in swords. No matter what the five elements are, it will not have any effect on Kendo. It is prejudice that will affect Kendo." After hearing his words, Shan Wanjing seemed to understand something. She pondered for a while, and then a glimmer of light flashed in her pupils, as if she had gained something. She stood up and bowed deeply to Ouyang Feng: "Thank you for your guidance, sir. Wanjing understands." "I'm glad you understand." Ouyang Feng looked at her calmly and said calmly, "The first condition has been met. Next, do you want to disperse your energy and practice the Longevity Technique? Have you thought about it?" This time, Shan Wanjing did not hesitate at all. Her momentum was like an indestructible sword. She said decisively: "I have decided to disperse my power and cultivate longevity!" Ouyang Feng looked at her and knew that she had made up her mind. He nodded and said: "Okay, I will teach you the method now." He then gave her the atlas of the Five Elements of Water among the seven hand-drawn atlases of "The Secret of Immortality", and taught her in detail the method of absorbing and refining the essence of heaven and earth in the text of "The Secret of Immortality". Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling did not decipher the oracle bone inscriptions, but practiced according to the diagrams throughout the process. Therefore, they had no method to actively refine the essence of heaven and earth. Instead, they used the "Nine Profound Method" taught by Fu Jun'er to guide the essence of heaven and earth. As a result, they succeeded in practicing it by chance. But this kind of coincidence cannot be replicated.
Most people don’t have the great fortune of Ssangyong, the protagonist of the era. Therefore, the orthodox method of practice still has to use the mental method written by Guangchengzi to sense and guide the essence of heaven and earth. After the essence of heaven and earth enters the body, it is guided along the paths of the meridians and acupoints indicated by the arrows on the diagram, and refined according to the mental method. Ouyang Feng taught all of his skills to Shan Wanjing, and explained all her doubts one by one until she completely understood the skills and memorized the diagram of the five elements of water. Then he nodded at her: "If you are ready, you can release your power at any time. I will protect you." At the beginning of dispersing the power, the warrior will be in an extremely weak state, and his life and death will be completely out of his control. Therefore, unless it is the closest and most trusted person, no one will release their energy in front of others. If they are more suspicious, they would rather find a secret place where no one knows and seclude themselves alone than be known by others, even those who are close and trusted. But Shan Wanjing has absolute trust in Ouyang Feng and would not hesitate to put her life in his hands. At this time, since Ouyang Feng said that he could disperse the power and he came to protect her, Shan Wanjing took it seriously without even thinking about it. She formed a mysterious hand seal, pointed her fingertips at her dantian in her lower abdomen, and performed the magic sect's method of dispersing power, and began to disperse her cultivation. It is not easy to disperse the power, and it may even be quite uncomfortable. And the feeling of losing one's own power bit by bit and one's originally strong body becoming weak bit by bit is a serious violation of a warrior's instinct. Without an extremely tenacious mind, it would be impossible to persevere to the end. But Shan Wanjing persisted. He persisted to the end without any compromise and used up nearly two hours to dissipate all his strength. After her power was gone, her body suddenly became extremely weak and she could hardly even sit still. His cheeks were as pale as paper, even his lips had lost their color, and his forehead was covered in cold sweat, looking as if he was seriously ill. But her pupils became even brighter, obviously because the pain of enduring the loss of her power and the determination to fight against the warrior's instinct had sharpened her soul. "Sir, my power has been exhausted." Shan Wanjing raised her head and looked at Ouyang Feng, a pitiful smile appearing on her pale and pretty face. Ouyang Feng nodded silently and handed her a cotton handkerchief: "Wipe off the sweat, take a rest, and then you can try to practice the Art of Immortality." Shan Wanjing took the cotton towel, wiped the sweat from her forehead, and said: "Although my body is weak, my mental strength is not lacking. On the contrary, I have a kind of wonderful inspiration... when the clouds disperse, the bright moon appears, and when the water dries up, a precious pearl appears. I feel that there is no need to rest, and I can start practicing now." Ouyang Feng said: "The Art of Immortality requires inspiration. Since you feel good, then practice it according to your own inspiration." Shan Wanjing nodded, practiced the Changsheng Jue mental method, and began to sense and absorb the essence of heaven and earth. With the orthodox mental method written by Guangchengzi, she quickly sensed the essence of heaven and earth, and selected the water essence that best matched her aptitude, absorbed a strand of it, and then visualized the map, guiding and transporting the essence of heaven and earth according to the path indicated by the arrows on the map, while practicing the method of refining. When Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling were refining their yin and yang energies, one felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar and his blood was freezing, while the other felt his blood and qi were hot and dry all over, as if it was on fire. Although Shan Wanjing's water-based energy didn't have such extreme feelings, it was also terrifying. When the water essence is first guided into the meridians, it feels cool, gentle and very comfortable. But when Shan Wanjing practiced the refining method, she felt a horrifying feeling that all her flesh and blood would be "melted" by the water essence and her entire body would turn into a pool of clear water. This feeling was extremely real, like an instinctive warning from deep within the soul. Even with Shan Wanjing's calm mind, she was frightened to the point of almost having a stitch in the side. Fortunately, at the critical moment, on the night of thunder and gale, the practice of making up for the shadow of her childhood made her calm down and put aside all distractions. With a mysterious state of mind that her left hand was quiet and inaction, and her right hand was brave and diligent, she maintained the refining mind method and refined the water essence bit by bit. No matter how frightening the water essence gave her, her heart was calm. …
Half a month later. Outside Xiangyang City, in the wilderness. It was drizzling. Ouyang Feng and Shan Wanjing walked in the rain towards Xiangyang. Neither of them held an umbrella. When the rain fell on Ouyang Feng, it was as if it encountered an invisible air shield, flowing down his body surface without soaking his hair or clothes at all. Shan Wanjing is just the opposite. The drizzling rain had already soaked her hair and clothes through, making the crimson purple gown stick to her delicate body, outlining her graceful figure to the fullest. But Shan Wanjing, who was soaked all over, did not look uncomfortable at all. Instead, she seemed to be enjoying the feeling of being soaked in the rain. Her skin also appeared exceptionally crystal clear, with a faint halo. After just half a month of practice, even though Shan Wanjing had a solid foundation and profound skills, and even with the assistance of the Tongtian Spirit Seed and the Yi Jin Duan Gu Pian, it was far from enough to restore her skills to their original state. However, the innate true energy cultivated with the Changsheng Jue not only began to feed back into her soul, allowing her spiritual perception to reach a higher level, but also allowed her to finally achieve the state of "restrained sword intent, hiding the edge in the sheath". The sword intent in her pupils was no longer as awe-inspiring and aggressive as before. Even his swordsmanship had a bit more of the gentle and graceful charm of clouds and water. The "fairy from the sky" sword was even more light and graceful, and the murderous intent was almost completely hidden in the agile and gorgeous moves like a sword dance. Although her skills have not returned to their previous state, Shan Wanjing's overall strength has improved. In addition, she also possesses some minor supernatural powers. Since this innate true Qi is refined from the essence of water, her little supernatural powers are naturally related to water. "Look, sir!" Shan Wanjing's surprised voice was heard, and Ouyang Feng looked sideways, and saw a crystal clear water stream as thick as a little finger and three inches long wrapped around her five fingers, which was flexibly drilling in and out between her fingers. Ouyang Feng smiled and said, "Can you control water now?" In the world of Twin Dragons, controlling the flow of water is really nothing. Because there are people who can "condense energy into weapons", turning air and water into iron walls to attack or defend. However, for Shan Wanjing, this was obviously a magical skill that was worth rejoicing about. "Using the immortal qi to control the water flow feels very easy, consumes little energy, and can be used for more than just playing." Shan Wanjing smiled sweetly, and suddenly swung her slender hand. The crystal clear water stream shot out immediately, and hit a big tree ten feet away with a "plop" sound, and actually shot through the big tree that was as thick as a man's embrace. Then she slapped out with her palm again, and the rain in front of her palm suddenly shot out diagonally until it was three feet away, shooting another big tree with holes all over it, and wood chips flew everywhere, as if it had been hit by a rainstorm. After demonstrating these two methods, she looked at Ouyang Feng, dimples appeared on her cheeks, and she smiled with a hint of pride: "How's it going, sir?" Ouyang Feng nodded and said: "It's not bad that the softest water can have such power."
This is because Shan Wanjing's skills are still shallow. In the future, when her skills are more advanced, the Qi of Immortality can drive the water flow, which may be comparable to a magic weapon. Shan Wanjing smiled sweetly, "It's all thanks to you, sir." Ouyang Feng put his hands behind his back and said calmly: "It is you who made the decision. Your character and physique are worthy of this opportunity." Shan Wanjing liked the gentleman's praise the most. When she heard the gentleman's praise, she felt like she had drunk fine wine. She felt intoxicated and drunk, and a touching blush appeared on her face. She also had her hands behind her back like her husband, her two extremely long and straight legs dancing lightly, she looked sideways at Ouyang Feng and said with a smile: "Sir, when will you practice the art of longevity?" Ouyang Feng shook his head: "Now is not the time." He has almost figured out the martial arts technique. The "Eternal Life Secret" mental method and diagrams have been combined to deduce a method of using the Hunyuan Wuji Gong to refine the essence of heaven and earth. However, as he and Shan Wanjing said, it is difficult to control the amount of essence of heaven and earth that is drawn into the body, and serious accidents may occur if one is not careful. However, his skills are too profound. Once they clash with the essence of heaven and earth and cause a violent reaction beyond his control, the consequences will be difficult to predict. Therefore, we still have to wait for a drop of sweet dew first. He wasn't in a hurry anyway. Although he did not practice the Art of Immortality, after integrating the essence of the Mysterious Ice Force into the Hunyuan Wuji Skill, his martial arts skills and swordsmanship improved. His boxing and kicking skills also improved a bit after the thrilling battle with Yu Wenzhi that lasted for more than 2,000 moves. Although he was not very clear about what level he had reached in the Shuanglong World, he felt that if he faced Zhu Yuyan in a one-on-one fight, he should be able to fight her. Before the evil king Shi Zhixuan's schizophrenia was cured, Zhu Yuyan was the best martial artist in the Demon Sect. But now, the new generation of martial artists has not yet grown up, and the only people who dare to say that their martial arts skills are higher than Zhu Yuyan are probably the three great masters and Song Que. Other masters are no match for Zhu Yuyan. Therefore, Ouyang Feng felt that his estimate was neither an overestimation nor an underestimation of himself. As for the real situation, of course you have to fight to know. Maybe when I kill Bian Bufu, I will meet Zhu Yuyan? "Sir, can we really find Bian Bufu this time?" "I can't guarantee it. But the chances are very high." "I didn't expect that Qian Duguan, the leader of the Hanshui Sect, would actually be a member of the Yingui Sect. Even my mother and I didn't know this news. You must be very powerful, sir." [Two more chapters, please give me a monthly ticket! ] (End of this chapter)
