Chapter 71 Qi Condensation Technique Level 2, Foundation Establishment Successfully Completed
Security room,
Old Li put his feet up on the table.
Scrolling through Douyin (TikTok)
On the screen, a female streamer with maxed-out beauty filters was dancing enthusiastically and energetically.
Tonight is another boring night like any other...
at this time,
The shadows of the trees outside the window suddenly flickered.
Old Li didn't pay attention.
As for the wind, when is it not windy on the mountain?
But the shadow of the tree swayed again.
This time the magnitude is even greater.
A glance out the window
My whole body went numb.
A figure... no, a person carrying something!
It flew past the treetops!
It was clearly visible under the moonlight.
Long hair flowing and dancing in the air,
It looks like it's a woman?!
Old Li convinced himself that it probably wasn't the case.
After all, there are quite a few men with long hair these days.
Old Li was about to go out to uphold justice.
Then they quietly retreated:
"Why work yourself to death for only 3,000 yuan a month?"
and many more,
This person has something on their head and runs incredibly fast!
What is that thing he's carrying?
It was a dark, square blob.
Could it be a safe?
Old Li racked his brains to think of something.
That's when I realized...
There is indeed a safe at the ticket office of the scenic spot, which contains the ticket money for the peak season!
Logically speaking, people in this era rarely carry cash when they go out.
However, the sheer volume of people coming and going is overwhelming, given the large number of individuals involved.
If even one person out of 100 carries cash,
That's a considerable sum.
"Could it really be a thief?"
Without thinking twice, Old Li grabbed his flashlight and rushed out.
"What a fool! His pockets are full of loose change!"
After going out the door,
The other two young security guards on duty were squatting at the entrance smoking.
He suddenly rushed out.
"Brother Li, what's wrong?"
"Someone carried something and ran away from the back of the mountain!" Old Li shouted as he ran, turning back to yell.
"It looks like a safe! Let's go!"
The two young security guards exchanged a glance, then threw their cigarette butts on the ground.
He picked up the rubber baton and chased after them.
under the moonlight,
The provincial highway outside the scenic area's perimeter wall
The three of them chased after it all the way.
Old Li was getting on in years; he hadn't run far before he was panting heavily, clutching his knees.
The remaining three young men, however, were full of energy and kept up the chase.
the other side,
Bai Sheng's clone carried the cauldron and ran at breakneck speed.
It stands to reason,
Ordinary people at this level can't even smell his exhaust fumes.
However, the cauldron was simply too heavy.
It's conservatively estimated to be several hundred kilograms.
The speed was slowed down considerably.
The distance between the two sides is gradually shrinking!
"Stop! What is that! Stop right there, don't run!"
The lead security guard shouted as he ran.
Bai Sheng ignored the clones and continued running forward.
They chased for about a few minutes.
The distance between the two sides has shrunk to less than a hundred paces!
A security guard bent down to pick up a stone from the roadside.
He aimed at the figure and threw it with all his might.
The stone shot through the air and disappeared.
Bai Sheng simply couldn't take it anymore.
Do you earn more than 20,000 yuan a month?
How long have they been running?
Do you guys practice running half marathons regularly?
Seeing the flying stone,
Although it's not very harmful, it's quite insulting.
Bai Sheng's clone suddenly twisted her slender waist.
Right foot kicks out in mid-air,
The movements were too fast to see clearly.
There was only a crisp cracking sound.
boom!
The stone was kicked squarely in mid-air.
Instead, the entire stone turned into a cloud of grayish-white powder at her toes!
"Holy crap, Brother Li! This guy knows martial arts."
One of the security guards couldn't help but exclaim.
The security captain caught up from behind, panting heavily.
He was taken aback for a moment upon hearing this.
No way, buddy, are you kidding me?
Is this still the real world?
But he quickly realized what Bai Sheng's clone had been holding up.
"Holy crap!?"
The security captain gasped.
"You two have been chasing her for so long, didn't you see what she was holding up?"
The two young security guards were also stunned.
"Didn't they say they stole the safe?"
Does your safe look like this?
"Oh my god, why didn't you say so earlier?!"
"This is clearly a stolen cultural relic!"
The security captain pulled a stun gun from his waist.
Gritting his teeth, he pushed the switch forward.
The electric shock head crackled and flashed blue light.
"So what if she knows martial arts? She's carrying cultural relics! She's stealing cultural relics! Chase her!"
He rushed out first.
The two remaining young men hesitated for a moment, then gritted their teeth and followed.
Bai Sheng manipulated his clone to glance back.
For some reason, the three security guards seemed to be talking about something.
He could have easily made a runaway while he was waiting.
But in that instant of turning around,
He saw identical labels floating above the heads of the three people.
[Disciple on Duty]
Bai Sheng's eyebrows twitched slightly.
Since they are disciples on duty, they are not ordinary security guards.
He changed his mind; there was no need to run!
The clone stopped, turned around, and threw the cauldron on the ground!
The refining cauldron crashed onto the concrete surface of the provincial highway.
boom!
It emitted a dull, extremely loud bang.
The tripod legs smashed a dent the size of a bowl into the road.
Gravel flew far from the edge of the pit.
The entire road surface trembled slightly.
The three security guards stopped abruptly.
They all took several steps back without prior arrangement.
The reason we were chasing so fiercely was because the person in front was running!
Now they stopped running and turned around to face them directly.
Instead, they dared not rush in.
After all, I was too excited just now.
Completely immersed in his role.
After all, it's part of a security guard's job to chase after a thief.
Now calm down
They then realized that the person opposite them...
Something's really not right!
By the moonlight,
They got a clear look at the person in front of them.
Her long black hair fluttered slightly in the night breeze.
Her features were delicate, her skin fair, and her complexion radiant.
It looked as if it could be broken with a touch.
She is quite beautiful.
These guys must have seen plenty of beautiful women online.
But most of them have heavily filtered, beautified faces like those of internet celebrities.
This kind of appearance, when displayed offline...
Even among beauties, she is considered one of the top ones.
But at this moment, there was no expression on that beautiful face.
He just stared at them coldly.
Without saying a word,
It's starting to look like a martial arts epic.
"this……"
A security guard swallowed hard.
"That cauldron must weigh three to five hundred pounds, right? She just threw it with one hand?"
At this moment, Old Li was filled with remorse.
He began to repent.
They've forgotten their original aspirations!
Why did I become a security guard in the first place? Wasn't it just so I could comfortably collect my salary?
He betrayed his original aspirations, and as a result, he ended up like this!
Old Li's mind went through several twists and turns.
He reached out and tugged at Xiao Liu's sleeve: "Xiao Liu, let's just play dead."
Xiao Liu was taken aback: "Okay."
321, close your eyes.
Xiao Liu closed his eyes and fell to the ground.
He lay perfectly straight.
After waiting a moment, he noticed that Lao Li and another colleague had already run several dozen steps ahead.
Xiao Liu lay on the ground: "???"
Bai Sheng looked down at Xiao Liu, who was lying on the ground pretending to be dead.
His lips twitched slightly.
She did nothing.
He simply bent down, picked up the cauldron again, and tossed it onto his shoulder.
The cauldron flipped in the air and landed steadily on my shoulder.
She turned and continued running forward.
At that very moment,
The sirens of police cars from the Public Security Bureau could be heard in the distance.
From afar, it pierces through the night.
Bai Sheng leaned back on the sofa and gave a cold laugh.
It seems the security captain called the police!
He made his clone speed up.
Carrying the cauldron, they turned onto a side road of a provincial highway without streetlights and disappeared from sight.
,,,
You and the guards engage in a chase in the secret realm. Facing pursuers who outnumber you several times over, you use your exceptional agility and wit to maneuver through the mountains and alleys, eventually shaking off your pursuers and escaping unscathed.
Although this experience was not honorable, it was also a valuable practical training opportunity.
[Combat Experience +10]
[Combat Experience: Lv1→Lv2]
【Combat Experience Lv2 Effect: During combat, you can passively obtain brief information about your opponent by observing their subtle movements and aura fluctuations, including their approximate strength level and current emotional state.】
The weaker the opponent, the more accurate the information you obtain. Simultaneously, your perception range for unusual energy fluctuations in the environment doubles, allowing you to detect ambushes, traps, or hidden enemies much earlier.
[Cultivation Points +10]
[You had a direct confrontation with the guards in the Heavenly River Secret Realm and successfully escaped, which caused quite a stir among the guards.]
Though your name remains unknown to them, your skill and the legend of that great cauldron have quietly spread among the guardians of the secret realm.
[Tianhe Secret Realm Reputation +10, Current Reputation: 10/100 (Emerging Talent)]
[Explanation of Secret Realm Reputation: The higher your reputation, the greater the probability of triggering opportunities in the Secret Realm. Some formations and restrictions within the Secret Realm may reduce their hostility towards you, and some neutral guards may ignore you.]
However, please note that excessively high reputation may also alert the core guardians of the dungeon.
This is the first time the reputation mechanism has been triggered.
It seems that the Heavenly River Secret Realm is more complicated than he expected!
It not only has formations and restrictions, but also a complete defense system!
One thing in particular caught his attention.
What is a core ward?
Bai Sheng pondered for a moment.
The security guards who were chasing him could hardly be considered core guards.
He is at most a neutral guard, as mentioned before.
In other words, increasing one's reputation can reduce some of their hostility.
But what's the use of this thing?
What about the so-called core guards?
Bai Sheng guessed that it might mean...
In this secret realm, there are non-human guardians.
After all, Bai Sheng knew that there really was a secret realm at the foot of this mountain!
We will only be able to see those core guardians when the spiritual energy recovers.
Over the next few days, Bai Sheng sent out all his clones.
He sent a clone to take advantage of the night...
The refining cauldron and the pile of black iron and refined steel fragments were transported to the outskirts in batches.
That weapon-refining cauldron was simply too huge.
It's too conspicuous to put in a rented room.
And we can't even get into the stairwell.
So he sent a clone to find a wasteland in the suburbs.
Sparsely populated
Suitable as a temporary warehouse.
The clone wrapped the cauldron and materials in a waterproof cloth and buried them in the forest.
We still cannot feel at ease.
Bai Sheng left a clone nearby to watch over and protect the area.
After marking the location, Bai Sheng recalled the other clones.
"Phew, finally got rid of this thing." Bai Sheng breathed a sigh of relief.
To be honest, lately my old-school clone has been wandering around everywhere.
Today I went to scout out the secret realm.
Tomorrow I'm going to dig holes in the wasteland, and the day after tomorrow I'm going to the city to scout out properties.
I'm feeling a bit physically and mentally exhausted.
However, he didn't neglect his cultivation.
Those guys who work the hardest are still persevering.
I've long since passed the second level of Qi Condensation Technique, specifically the tests of essence and blood, and true qi.
The only obstacle I'm stuck on is the Divine Sense barrier!
I practiced the method of observing objects for quite some time.
Bai Sheng still stares at the mineral water bottle every day.
Focus time has increased from five minutes to ten minutes.
Then, I gradually improved from being able to visualize continuously for more than 35 minutes without losing focus!
My mental strength has increased significantly.
The precision of controlling the clones has also been significantly improved.
Now the five clones can do different things at the same time.
"Tonight, I'm going to break through!"
this night,
A wasteland on the outskirts of the city
Bai Sheng's consciousness sank into his dantian.
The golden true essence spun endlessly, and the gaseous star wheel and the liquid true essence pool had long since merged into one.
He followed the last part of the incantation of the Qi Condensation Method.
Activate your true energy and propel it simultaneously upwards and downwards along the Ren and Du meridians.
Passing through the three gates of the coccyx, spine, and occipital bone,
A crisp sound,
True energy surged through the Baihui point and poured down from the top of the head, converging with spiritual energy at the center of the eyebrows!
This time he did not suppress it.
His spiritual power pierced directly into the core of the golden true essence in the center of his dantian.
The core exploded!
A golden shockwave that was visible to the naked eye.
Looking outwards from where he was sitting cross-legged
It spread out in circles.
Whoosh!
Fallen leaves and pebbles were blown several feet away.
The surrounding bushes all fell down in a neat circle.
The provincial highway in the distance,
A few barks were heard.
Then came the sound of windows being opened in a nearby village.
They probably thought a transformer had exploded somewhere.
Bai Sheng himself wasn't much better off.
As the shock wave spread outwards,
An equally strong reaction force surged from his dantian outwards through his limbs and bones.
All the meridians in the body expand simultaneously.
The bones emitted a series of crisp popping sounds as the entire spine was disassembled and reassembled segment by segment.
"Not yet, we have to hold on a little longer."
5 minutes later,
Deep within the sea of consciousness,
The thin mist that had been there and there was there was completely dispelled.
The whole world became exceptionally clear in perception.
The whole world became exceptionally clear in perception.
Bai Sheng slowly stood up and stretched his shoulders.
The fusion of the body's flesh, bones, and true essence has reached a completely new level!
[Qi Condensation Exercise - Second Level (Complete)]
[The three barriers of essence and blood, true qi, and divine thought are all broken, and the physical body and true essence are completely integrated.]
From then on, all the flesh, blood, and bones in the body can be transformed into innate true energy, which is indestructible and indestructible, impervious to weapons, and unaffected by ordinary water and fire.
True essence can condense into a shape when separated from the body, and can be controlled at will.
According to the descriptions in the ancient Taoist texts, this realm is roughly equivalent to the Foundation Establishment stage in the cultivation system of Qi Refiners.
He had heard Jiang Xuelan mention it before.
Traditional cultivation stages, from low to high, roughly correspond to the major realms of Qi Refining, Foundation Building, Core Formation, and Nascent Soul.
The first level of Qi Condensation Qigong is the entry level, equivalent to the Qi Refining stage.
He broke through all three barriers of the second level of Qi Condensation Technique, and his physical body and true essence were completely integrated.
In the cultivation system, this would be the Foundation Establishment stage.
The third level of Qi Condensation Technique is roughly equivalent to the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment.
"Foundation Building Stage..."
Bai Sheng raised his right hand to his eyes and activated his true energy.
The entire hand gradually blurs from the palm to the wrist.
It transformed into a translucent golden outline, and then, with a thought,
The true essence actually flew out.
Extremely fast speed, disappearing in an instant.
Several meters apart,
In mid-air,
The golden true essence rapidly expanded.
Get bigger again,
In the end, it was able to hold a thing the size of a car.
then,
The entire hand reformed into a solid form!
