Chapter 426: Hard Training

Duan Rong looked at the data panel that appeared in front of him, shook his head, and threw the old whisk in his hand back to its original place.

It was just a spirit that had not entered the rank, and he was too lazy to devour it.

Duan Rong read the old items in the secret room of practice one by one, and the result was all the same. He placed the paperweight in his hand on the stone table, his eyes flickering slightly. There were seven secret rooms for practice here, and the direct disciples on Yunfu Peak might not have reached seven.

Perhaps no one has entered his current secret room of practice since it was built. Although it was covered with dust and the objects were old, no one had entered, so there was no soul imprint eroded and engraved in the spirit of the weapon, so the spirit of the weapon could not grow.

Duan Rong thought so, but his brows suddenly frowned.

He immediately stood up from the waist drum-like stone seat in front of the table and slowly walked out of the secret room of practice. He stood silently at the stone door and looked at the statue of Acala not far away.

Duan Rong's eyes were solemn at this time. He fixed his eyes on the statue of Acala, which was two people tall, and walked to the statue.

Duan Rong gently placed his palm on it, and said to himself: "Read the spirit of the instrument."

Then, in this dim stone room, a data panel with a faint glow suddenly appeared in front of his eyes.

Duan Rong's breathing stagnated slightly when he looked at the data in front of him. He guessed correctly.

This statue of Acala actually contains the skills of the Taizang Sutra.

Artifact: Stone statue of Acala

Spirit level: Level 10

Devouring requirement: Host's spiritual power level 10 (satisfied)

Devouring effect: Thirteenth level of the Garbha Sutra (incomplete), Fourteenth level of the Garbha Sutra (incomplete), Fifteenth level of the Garbha Sutra (incomplete)

Duan Rong's brows twisted into a ball when he looked at the last line of the data panel with the word "incomplete". He carefully looked at the statue of Acala in front of him and confirmed that the statue was complete, without any missing or even a crack.

Duan Rong thought about it for a moment and figured out the reason.

Since the artifact spirit of this statue of Acala contains the Garbha Sutra, it means that someone has used this statue of Acala to practice the thirteenth, fourteenth, and fifteenth levels of the Garbha Sutra.

It's just that when practicing the Garbha Sutra, there are four statues to form the mandala, that is to say, this statue of Acala is only one-fourth of it.

The skill is naturally only one-fourth.

"Swallow!" Duan Rong said in his heart, and the data panel in front of him shook and disintegrated, and then disappeared into thin air.

However, to find the complete practice of the thirteenth to fifteenth levels of the Taizang Sutra, you have to find the other three matching statues. It seems that I have to find a chance to ask Fan Hongjiao, Wu Shidao and others why this statue is here and where the other three statues are.

There is no rush for this matter, after all, he has not yet practiced the twelve levels of the Taizang Sutra. Now, for him, the fastest way to improve his strength is to pile up the realm of Yuanqi first.

After Duan Rong swallowed the spirit of the statue of Acala, he returned to his own practice secret room.

Wu Shidao said that the claw and the tail were enough for him to practice for half a year. Duan Rong decided to practice hard in this secret room for a while and become a direct disciple of the elders of the sect. In terms of resources and treatment, there is really nothing to say. Everything is ready, and there are special people serving outside. You just need to concentrate on practicing.

Duan Rong walked to the corner of the secret room and gently turned the beast's head there.

A narrow stone door on the stone wall in front of him suddenly opened.

A cold air filled the air, and the small door in front of him was like the entrance to the ghostland, cold and creepy.

Duan Rong walked in slowly, looked into the black jade pool in the middle of the ground, and saw that a claw and a tail inside had been frozen into hard ice sculptures.

With a flash of knife light, Duan Rong had already held the frost pattern phosphorus crystal knife and cut off a piece of the blood and flesh of the Yuan beast, then reached out and opened a long black jade box.

In the air, the knife light flashed like a ghost, and seven or eight thumb-sized pieces of meat fell into the black jade box, arranged in order, without any mess.

Duan Rong closed the lid of the black jade box and turned to go out.

The black jade box in his hand was indeed chilling. Duan Rong had already summoned a thin layer of heaven and earth energy from his Dantian and wrapped it around his palm, but he had only walked from the narrow stone room to the position of the futon. In such a short distance, the cold air had already permeated the energy, and his palm felt icy.

Duan Rong sat cross-legged and immediately put down the black jade box. At this time, he stared at the palm of his right hand, only to see a thin layer of cold frost in his palm.

Duan Rong mobilized the remaining heaven and earth energy in his Dantian, and circulated it back and forth in the meridians in his palm for a few breaths, and then the thin frost slowly melted away.

This cold air was indeed powerful, no wonder it could imprison the heaven and earth energy contained in the flesh and blood of the Yuan Beast.

Duan Rong opened the black jade box in front of him. The moment the box was opened, only visible traces of cold air emerged and dissipated.

Inside the box, the candied haws had actually frozen into pieces.

Duan Rong looked at the "candied haws" in front of him, his eyes flickering.

He originally thought that after reaching the Yuanqi realm, there should be a more complicated way to refine medicine.

Unexpectedly, there was no need to refine at all, and he directly returned to the most primitive mode of "eating raw meat and drinking blood".

It's really a bit magical!?

Duan Rong thought so, picked up a "candied haws" and put it in his mouth.

As soon as it entered his mouth, Duan Rong immediately used the heaven and earth energy to wrap the "candied haws" to prevent the cold air contained in it from freezing his internal organs.

The "candied haws" was swallowed into his stomach and wrapped by the heaven and earth energy in his dantian. The ice on the surface gradually melted, revealing the blood and flesh of the Yuan beast inside.

At this moment, Duan Rong activated his skills and began to refine the blood and flesh.

As it was refined, the extremely pure heaven and earth energy contained in the blood and flesh of the Yuan beast gradually emanated.

The purity of the heaven and earth energy and its affinity with the body scared Duan Rong a little.

After Duan Rong advanced to the Yuan Qi realm, he had practiced several times. Although the heaven and earth energy was rich in Changliu Mountain. But richness and purity are two concepts.

Richness refers to the amount, but purity refers to the quality.

At this time, the extremely pure heaven and earth energy gushed out of the Dantian like a spring. Duan Rong immediately circulated and began to absorb the heaven and earth energy.

Duan Rong had already directly obtained the realm by devouring the spirit of the instrument. His circulation, breathing, absorption, and refining were already extremely familiar. Even a talented practitioner would need at least half a year to reach such a familiar level.

Despite this, with Duan Rong's familiar efficiency, about 10% of the heaven and earth energy gushing out of the Dantian was still not absorbed and dissipated.

Duan Rong sat cross-legged on the futon and suddenly felt a pain in his flesh.

If other practitioners knew Duan Rong's thoughts, they would be very surprised. In the process of absorption and refining, some dissipation is inevitable. Even if Duan Rong only dissipated 10%, it was only possible when he was extremely familiar with the practice.

But Duan Rong was not willing to give up. He suddenly flipped his hand and placed two porcelain bottles in front of him. They were the bone marrow ash of the high-level Yuan beast that Zhu He gave him when he first entered Yunfu Peak a few days ago.

Duan Rong opened the stopper of one of the bottles and sniffed it gently. It was tasteless.

Then he gently shook the bottle and could feel that there seemed to be some kind of viscous liquid inside.

Duan Rong then raised his head and poured a drop from the bottle mouth. It was a drop of thick gray liquid.

The drop of thick gray liquid went into his throat. Duan Rong swallowed it and immediately trembled all over like sieve bran.

His internal organs, Dantian, and meridians all surged with a burning pain. In just a moment, Duan Rong's face turned pale and his eyes were terrified.

He urged his mind to use his spiritual sense to look inside his body.

After the spiritual sense explored, every detail was revealed, and he soon found that he was not poisoned.

Duan Rong's heart relaxed a little, and he continued to practice the exercises and breathe in and out. Now the difference was reflected. The extremely pure heaven and earth energy that surged out of his dantian did not dissipate at all, and was completely absorbed and refined by him.

If anyone knew what happened to Duan Rong in this secret room, they would definitely think it was a miracle.

A practitioner who had just advanced to the Yuanqi realm for only a few days could actually achieve no dissipation.

Take a look at the book bar without any mistakes!

Of course, this is under the addition of the bone marrow gray matter of the high-level Yuan beast.

The bone marrow gray matter of this high-level Yuan beast can actually permanently improve the affinity between the practitioner and the heaven and earth energy, but this permanent improvement has little effect, like peeling silk from a cocoon.

However, swallowing a drop of bone marrow gray matter will significantly increase the affinity within a few hours, and will slowly decline after a few more hours.

Duan Rong practiced the technique frantically, and swallowed another candied haws every hour or so.

You should know that this is not a temporary breathing and refining, but the operation, absorption, and refining of cultivation. Every bit of refining will eventually become the source of vitality in the dantian. This is the real realm of cultivation. It is a thread of water grinding!

For someone like Duan Rong who has just entered the Yuanqi realm, he can actually swallow a candied haws in an hour. This cultivation speed is almost a certain limit, which can be said to be beyond compare.

Although it is said that mental power has a great influence on cultivation, on the one hand, it is said from the perspective of delicate control, and on the other hand, it means that the stronger the mental power, the faster it can quickly master the complex process of absorption, breathing, and refining, and the efficiency of cultivation will rise.

But Duan Rong was already in a state of familiarity and harmony as soon as he started!

From this day on, Duan Rong practiced hard every day, as if he was addicted to cultivation.

It was fine in the first few days, but after half a month, Lu Geng and Wang Yue began to grumble. After a month, even Fan Hongjiao and Wu Shidao were a little worried and came to see Duan Rong several times.

Fan Hongjiao reminded him to combine work and rest. Although hard training is a good thing, too much hard training can easily lead to premature growth.

Although Duan Rong agreed repeatedly, he continued to practice hard every day.

In fact, they were completely unable to understand, and they were right. Because for them, practicing is a very mentally exhausting thing.

When it comes to the practice of the Qi realm, the process of absorption, breathing, and refining is so complicated! And many things are mixed together. After practicing for an hour, the soul is already overdrawn.

And only they have practiced for many years and finally become familiar with it. At this time, they basically don’t digest the soul much, and can operate naturally. But at this time, they have basically advanced and entered the next stage of practice, so the difficult road begins again.

But Duan Rong was familiar with it as soon as he started, and it hardly consumed his soul and spirit, it was just a purely physical job.

Because of this, he could continue to practice day and night. This kind of practice made Fan Hongjiao and Wu Shidao tremble with fear, fearing that something would happen to this kid and Zhu He would come back to trouble them.

That day, Duan Rong looked at the empty black jade pool and felt depressed. He was about to achieve the first level of the Qi realm, but the Qi and flesh in the black jade pool were actually used up.

Didn't Wu Shidao tell him that it would be enough for him for half a year? It's only been a month, and it's gone.

Wu Shidao was talking about normal people. At least when he was in the Qi realm, he had only advanced to the Qi realm for a few days. The blood and flesh of the Yuan beasts were enough for him for more than half a year. Considering that Duan Rong's talent was different from that of ordinary people, he said less, only half a year.

But Duan Rong, a guy who couldn't keep dry food in a doghouse, ran out of it in a month.

Since it was gone, we had to find a way. It was the same problem as before when practicing.

Before, it was a problem of medicine and pills, and now it is a problem of the blood and flesh of the Yuan beasts. The essence is still a problem.

However, there is only one source of blood and flesh of Yuan beasts, which is the Dark Forest.

No, just go down once?

Duan Rong had already thought about this matter, and he might not be unable to go to the Dark Forest.

If his cultivation consumes energy quickly, it is obviously unrealistic to ask Fan Hongjiao, Wu Shidao and others to take him to the Dark Forest once a month.

This problem has to be solved by himself.

He has to go to the Dark Forest.

But before going, he has to get Wu Shidao's geomancy map to study it, and then do his homework.

That day, Duan Rong came to the top of the pavilion, outside Wu Shidao's room. He had asked Wang Yue before he came, and knew that Wu Shidao was in the room.

Duan Rong knocked on the door gently and called out: "Brother Wu!"

After a while, the door opened.

Wu Shidao looked at Duan Rong with deep eyes.

Duan Rong has been practicing hard in the secret room for a month, and he never washes or combs his hair. At this time, his hair was tangled and he looked haggard.

"Junior brother, you practice so hard, I admire you very much, but everything is too much or too little..."

Duan Rong said: "Brother, I know. I came here to borrow your geomancy map in the dark forest to take a look."

"What are you doing?" Wu Shidao looked at Duan Rong nervously, afraid that he would do something weird again.

Duan Rong said: "Nothing! I'm just tired of practicing recently, I want to study the dark forest and change my mind. I just remembered that you have a geomancy map here, so I want to borrow it to take a look. If it's not convenient, forget it."

"Convenient! How can it be inconvenient?" Wu Shidao smiled.

Fan Hongjiao has come to discuss Duan Rong's affairs with him several times. Fan Hongjiao means that he should at least rest for a few days every month and can't stay in the secret room for practice all the time. If he doesn't listen to the persuasion, the two of them are ready to take compulsory measures.

Now, it was heard that Duan Rong was going to stop practicing and change his mind. This would solve a big problem for Fan Hongjiao and him, not to mention this feng shui map. Who among these direct disciples had not seen it?
