Chapter 321 Within one step

 This is a huge improvement. With this outpost, their next plan can be implemented.

On Yuxiao Mountain, Wang An was practicing the Golden Light Mantra.

 The ancients’ method of contemplation was quite mysterious.

Taoist breathing and breathing methods can be used to develop true energy when practiced to a high level, but the golden light spell is a different approach, which involves cultivating true energy through visualization. This technique has been given certain "attributes" since the beginning of practice.

“Since the Golden Light Mantra can be practiced, the Heavenly Gang Five Thunder Zhengfa can also be practiced.” This thought flashed through Wang An’s mind.

The golden light on his body suddenly changed, turning into a color similar to black and gray. This color cannot be described.

 What color is chaos? Chaos is "nothing", so naturally there is no color and nothingness.

This boundless true energy is no small matter. Once it is emitted, everything the SLR touches will be destroyed immediately.

The rocks were reduced to pieces, the trees were also reduced to pieces, and everything was destroyed.

 This is something Wang An has a relatively simple grasp of.

“Chaos is formless and formless. Since it is formless and formless, it can naturally change in a thousand ways.”

 …

 One month, two months. This time Wang An spent a long time in retreat in the mountains.

 During the process of cultivation, his golden light spell has also entered the room. After entering the room, this golden light was added with another attribute. In addition to being able to defend, it could also heal injuries.

This attribute is dispensable for Wang An, because the zhenqi he had previously cultivated itself has super healing capabilities.

 In the southwest mountains, the secret base is carrying out exploration plans in an orderly manner.

 After this period of hard work, they have dispatched more than 600 fully armed soldiers and a large amount of ammunition supplies to Shushan, and they have successfully transported small armed vehicles through the cracks.

On the other side of the space channel, a small military base has been built.

 They are now in a confrontation with the Red Armor troops. Recently, the troops there have also encountered trouble. Monks began to appear and caused certain casualties to the troops stationed there.

On this day, a person came to the command post of the base with orders from above.

 This person first listened to the report from the person in charge of the "Exploration Project".

“Now that the forward position has been built, we must seize the time to move forward, explore the world, and search for what we need.”

“The current situation is that we are still in a passive defensive state. The opposite side is also adding more troops, and monks are appearing more and more frequently. In fact, we have dispatched a special team to explore the vicinity to a certain extent.”

 “The speed is a bit slow.”

 “Slow?” The person in charge of this exploration project was stunned after hearing this.

 He felt that their current exploration speed was already very fast.

"Yes, slow, it means to speed up."

 “Okay, we will speed up appropriately.”

 “It’s not appropriate, it’s as soon as possible.”

 After conveying the above meaning, the man left. The commander of this exploratory operation called the specific action planners into his office and conveyed the above meaning.

 “Want to go any faster? Going any faster will be dangerous, and may even result in losses outweighing the gains.”

 “Let’s do what it says above.”

“Well, this is risking the lives of the soldiers over there. I don’t understand why they are so impatient?”

 “Well, I guess some people just can’t wait.”

 “Can’t wait?” The planner was stunned after hearing this.

“If you are terminally ill and don’t have much time left to live, and you are suddenly told that there is a place where the antidote may exist, but it is very dangerous and you have to spend your life to explore it, what would you do?”

The colleague opposite the commander was stunned after hearing this, and immediately understood the meaning of these words.

 “There is little hope.”

“Even if there is only a little hope, they will go all out, no matter the cost.”

 “Why don’t they go and ask for the king’s blessing?”

“Then I don’t know.” The operations commander shook his head.

In a mountain village thousands of miles away, another outsider came to visit Wang An.

 “He hasn’t come back yet.” Li Xinzhu stared at the man in front of him.

 In less than three months, he has been here three times.

 “When will he come back?”

"have no idea."

 Same question, same answer.

This man always brought a few gifts every time he came, not much, just to express his gratitude, for the two old people. Later, he also brought gifts for Li Xinzhu these two times. Li Xinzhu refused every time.

Hearing that Wang An was not at home, the man said goodbye and left. He drove out of the mountain village before making a phone call.

"Hey, it's me. He's still not at home. I don't know where he went."

"okay, I get it."

On the third day after this man left, Lu Xiangyi also came to the mountain village.

 “Sir hasn’t come back yet?”

"No."

"When are you coming back?"

“I don’t know.” Li Xinzhu shook his head and gave Lu Xiangyi a cup of tea.

Lu Xiangyi took a sip of tea and was silent for a while.

“Sir, are you in retreat at Yuxiao Mountain?”

Li Xinzhu raised his head and glanced at him without saying anything.

"Someone asked me to bring a message to my husband. He would like to ask your husband to treat his illness. You can put forward any conditions."

"He has been in seclusion for so long this time, so it must be very important, so you can't disturb him at this time, do you understand?"

“Understood, if sir comes back, please remember to tell me.” Lu Xiangyi nodded.

"must."

On Yuxiao Mountain, on the top of the mountain, there is a black light. If you stare at the light, you will have a strange feeling, and you will feel that your whole soul is being sucked in.

Wang An looked at the zhenqi permeating the surroundings. It had become strong enough to become substantial.

In the world of Shushan, whether it is the Imperial Master and the Red Demon who have fought against him, or the head of Shushan and the master of the Snow Mountain that he has never met, they all seem to be following the same path, which is to catch the connection between heaven and earth. Strength to improve yourself.

 At the same time, they will also be affected by that power, just like the power of the earth's veins is thick and pure, so the national master is still normal. But the power of Blood Valley is sinister, and the red demon looks abnormal.

Whether it is the earth veins or the blood valley, there should be something like a sacred stone in it, which is like a core of energy. It was this energy core that Wang An absorbed before.

 So their energy absorption efficiency is far less than Wang An. But now Wang An is thinking about another issue.

 The reason why those few of them stayed in their respective cultivation places for retreat was probably because they were absorbing the energy of the cultivation places. However, there is always an upper limit to the energy absorption. The human body is not a vast universe, boundless.

 What should we do if the energy absorption reaches this upper limit? Continue to think of ways to improve yourself and raise the upper limit?

 What kind of immortality do they seek? Is the body immortal and immortal, or is the spirit immortal?

Human aging is basically the aging of cells, and the number of cell divisions in the human body has an upper limit and will not reproduce and proliferate without limit like cancer cells. Therefore, if a person does not age, he must ensure that his cells do not age.

 Either extend the work cycle of cells so that cells can maintain strong vitality for a long time without being eliminated or updated, or cells can reproduce and proliferate without limit.

 Or both.

Wang An feels that he is walking on this path. This is the power of knowledge from different eras. He can take into account such nuanced details. But people from other worlds in Shushan cannot. They can only rely on perception and experience.

 This is the advantage of being a latecomer.

 To a certain extent, Wang An can now do the above two things.

 The so-called practice is to break the limitations of the body and train the body, Qi and spirit.

 The physical body is strong enough, the Qi is strong enough, and the spirit is strong enough.

Wang An now thinks of two directions for practice. One is to go inward, covering the inside of the body with the golden light spell he has practiced, covering every organ and every tissue. One is to radiate one's true energy outwards, forming an "absolute field" and energy field that one can control within a certain range of the body.

As the saying goes in the novel, a sword stretching thousands of miles is not worth as much as three feet in front of you.

He does not seek to control the wind and rain between heaven and earth now. He must first make himself strong enough so that within one step, gods and Buddhas can retreat, if there are really gods and Buddhas.

 Once you have a goal, the next step is to practice and try continuously.

 In fact, the practice of Taoist mantras and the practice of Kung Fu are similar in principle.

In addition to practicing the Golden Light Curse, he also did not put down the Yi Jin Jing. He did not need to practice, the true energy would flow naturally, and it seemed to increase a little bit every day, just like pouring some water into the vast ocean.

This time, Wang An's retreat time was indeed long enough, so that some people were impatient to wait.

Thousands of miles away in the capital, in a courtyard, the weather was not cold at this time, but a man was wrapped in thick clothes, sitting on a chair in the house, looking at the sky outside through the glass.

His cheeks were sunken, and there was no trace of flesh on his face. His skin was blue-black, and he had deep bags under his eyes. His eyes seemed sleepy and without much energy.

Beside him stood a young man, standing there quietly, expressionless.

Hang, bang, bang, knock on the door.

 “Come in.” He replied weakly.

With a creak, the door was pushed open, and a middle-aged man pushed the door in. He stopped about two meters in front of the man wrapped in heavy clothes.

"There is news from the southwest. They have heard about a kind of spiritual grass in the world of Shushan. It is said that after taking it, people can live longer. However, that kind of spiritual grass grows in Shushan. Their current location is still quite a distance from Shushan. distance."

"How far can it be? Even if it's 10,000 miles away, it can take a month to go back and forth. Let them find it!" The half-closed eyes of the man wrapped in thick clothes suddenly opened, and his voice was low and hoarse.

"yes!"

 “Where is Wang An?”

 “He hasn’t come home yet.”

 “Send someone to keep an eye on it.”

“In addition, news came from the East China Sea. Some people analyzed that the island that suddenly appeared is most likely the legendary Penglai Island.”

 Hearing this name, the man wrapped in thick clothes opened his closed eyes again.

“We have already sent people there, but there is something strange about the island and it is surrounded by fog. So far, no one who has entered has come out alive.”

"Then send more people, and there will be brave men under the heavy reward."

"yes!"

On Yuxiao Mountain, Wang An's body is shining with golden light, and he looks like a **** from a distance. Suddenly, the golden light disappeared and turned into a strange color, or rather no color, and his whole body seemed to turn into chaos.

 The next moment, golden light appeared again on his body, and then the golden light began to flow, like mercury leaking out of the ground.

Wang An raised his hand, and a golden light fell from his middle. He raised his hand, and the golden light was thrown out. It turned into a rope in mid-air and was tied to a tree nearby. He raised his hand and waved, and the golden light was thrown out. The rope loosened and returned to Wang An's hand, then turned into a sword.

 Zhen Qi shaping can only be achieved if the control of Zhen Qi is extremely subtle, and the amount of Zhen Qi is large enough. Both are indispensable.

The gravel on the stone under Wang An's feet shook slightly. The next moment, Wang An jumped into the air. Less than twenty meters away from the ground, he suddenly turned around and flew to the side. He flew for a distance at high speed and then suddenly stopped, and his body caught him. The inertia traveled a certain distance before stopping.

“Sure enough, flying in mid-air and running on the ground are completely different things. It’s really hard to stop if the speed is too fast.”

During the fight with the Red Demon, Wang An felt that he was still not comfortable flying in mid-air. Need to continue to practice more.

The sunset has already set. On the Dongshan Mountain, Li Xinzhu sits cross-legged and looks at the sky. After a day of practice, he will often look at the sky in a daze.

 Suddenly, he saw a small dot in the distant sky approaching quickly.

 “No way?” His eyes lit up when he looked at the small dot, and then he stared at the black dot without blinking.

In a matter of seconds, the black spot came to the sky, and then suddenly fell from the sky, stopping less than three meters away from the top of Dongshan Mountain, causing a gust of wind. It was Wang An who flew from Yuxiao Mountain.

 “Are you out of seclusion?”

 “I’m out of seclusion.” Wang An said with a smile.

 “Thank you for your hard work these days.”

“There’s no need to say these polite words. Is there anything you can teach me?”

 “Golden Light Spell, do you want to learn it?”

 “Learn, you must learn!” Li Xinzhu nodded.

“I need some materials to refine a batch of Qi Yi Dan, which will be of great help to your practice. Please prepare the materials.”

 “No problem.” Li Xinzhu said.

"By the way, some people came here while you were away." Li Xinzhu then told him about the people who came to the mountain village when Wang An was away. And conveyed Lu Xiangyi's words.

Wang An just smiled after hearing this, and went down to Dongshan. He prepared a table of dinner and a few bottles of wine, and the whole family gathered together, talking and laughing, having fun.
