Chapter 6 Breakthrough in the True Martial Realm The heavy rain gradually subsided. Gu Yuanqing felt a little uncomfortable wrapped in rain-soaked clothes, so he regained consciousness and went back into the house. He changed his clothes, dried his hair, sat cross-legged on the bed and went to Guanshan again. This secret room is deep underground and Gu Yuanqing cannot go there, but it does not affect his reading here. With the blessing of the mountain viewing ability, you can see everything as long as you are in Beiquan Mountain. Beidou Sword Technique, Fengyu Sword Technique, Huifeng Chuixue Sword Technique, Mianyunrou Sword, Zhuihun Sword Technique, etc. The most common thing on this bookshelf is sword techniques. There are more than thirty books on cultivation techniques. Gu Yuanqing took a quick look and found that almost every one of them could be cultivated into Zhenwu, and there were as many as five techniques that had the chance to achieve master's level. In addition, there are nine kinds of body techniques, eleven kinds of boxing techniques, fewer sword techniques and gun techniques, as well as some cultivation experiences and some miscellaneous books. "As expected of a former great sect, these secret books are its heritage. Even if the Sutra Repository was emptied by the imperial court, if someone gets hold of these secret books, there is a chance that the Beiquan Sword Sect will be revived. It's a pity that they are buried deep underground. If it weren't for me, I don't know when they would see the light of day again!" Gu Yuanqing ignored the old man who was still busy digging a hole outside, and calmed down to study these secret books.

The first things he looked at were the five books on master's skills. There were also many secret codes and false words in the scriptures. Fortunately, he found corresponding practice experiences in three of them. While reading, I forgot about time until I was mentally exhausted and could no longer maintain the state of looking at the mountain, then I stopped to rest. Early the next morning, he first practiced the Heart-Med Return to Oneness Technique to refine the two strands of spiritual energy before getting up to wash. At this time, the old man brought breakfast and took away last night's dishes. Gu Yuanqing couldn't help but glance at the old man's back as he left the house, thinking with evil amusement: "If he knew that I had found what he had been digging holes for every day, what would he think?" Practicing sword skills in the morning has become a habit for Gu Yuanqing. Over the past few months, his two original sword skills have already reached a superb level. A wooden sword in his hand is like a magical weapon. However, today he did not practice these two sword techniques, but looked through the sword techniques in the secret room. The first choice was naturally the Beiquan Sword School's signature sword technique, the Seven Swords of the Big Dipper, but this sword technique required the Beiming Heart Sutra to activate, so Gu Yuanqing chose the Wind and Rain Sword Technique to practice, which had many similarities with the Cloak Cross Sword. He had an outstanding aptitude for swordsmanship, extraordinary comprehension, and a memory far beyond what was previously possible. It didn't take long for him to develop this set of swordsmanship. As he immersed himself in this swordsmanship, the insights he gained in the rain last night suddenly came to his mind as he merged with Beiquan Mountain. His sword skills gradually changed, becoming more and more rapid, one sword after another, like a violent storm. Suddenly, a sword light shone from his wooden sword, and the sword energy cut through the air, making a shrill sound of wind and rain whistling. The old man who was chopping wood suddenly looked up towards Gu Yuanqing's courtyard. This was the prototype of sword intent, and the formation of sword intent was one of the keys to open the door to the master! "Gu Yuanqing is only a Yuanshi. I saw him practicing sword a few days ago. Although he practiced well, his sword skills were ordinary. How could he suddenly condense the sword intent? Could it be... that someone else came to Beiquan Mountain?" "Aba Aba!" The old woman who was carrying the pile of firewood aside patted him on the shoulder, and after the old man turned around, she gestured to him. The old man suppressed his curiosity, gestured a few times and continued chopping wood. Half an hour later, Gu Yuanqing stopped panting. His clothes were already soaked with sweat, hot steam was coming out of his head, and his energy was exhausted. He was in an extremely cheerful mood. Although he didn't know that he had already mastered the rudiments of sword intent, he was aware that his swordsmanship had improved a lot. Now looking back at the Baiyun Swordsmanship and Cloak Cross Sword that he had practiced before, he felt that there were many flaws. This is not because of incorrect practice before, but the cognitive changes brought about by the improvement of realm, just like when a child learned 1 and 2, but did not know that there are infinite decimals between 1 and 2. He sat in the chair, breathing heavily, recalling the changes in his swordsmanship. "This is not because I learned better swordsmanship, but because of the changes brought about by Guanshan's understanding!" “When you look at a mountain, you are not just looking at the mountain, but at this world. As the saying goes, Tao follows nature. The practice of any martial arts or swordsmanship is actually learning about this world.”

“To use the words of my previous life, when I looked at mountains before, I just saw them as mountains, but now I have touched the threshold of seeing mountains as not mountains.” With all these insights flowing through his mind, Gu Yuanqing only felt that his vision of spiritual practice had been elevated. "Take a break and continue reading the book in the secret room. Although these cultivation books may not be better than the Heart Zen Unity Secret, they can enrich my understanding of cultivation, and any progress is accumulated over time." …… Time flies, and several months have passed in the blink of an eye. It has been nearly eight months since Gu Yuanqing came to the mountain. The weather turned colder and Beiquan Mountain was covered with snow. The old man was still digging holes everywhere but to no avail, but Gu Yuanqing was no longer the same person as before. After several months, although the talents and understandings bestowed by the resident have not changed, the amount of spiritual energy that can be provided has become four strands per day, which shows that the progress of spiritual accumulation in Beiquan Mountain has improved a lot. At this time, he had already tempered 394 acupoints in his body. These were compiled by Gu Yuanqing after reading dozens of cultivation secrets and various sword techniques, boxing techniques, and body techniques. In the dark night, he sat cross-legged on the bed, practicing his skills. 365 acupoints flickered with light, and vital energy flowed through his meridians, connecting the acupoints into one. The great Zhoutian formation seemed to be taking shape. But suddenly, his vital energy went out of control, the formation collapsed, Gu Yuanqing let out a muffled groan, and blood flowed from the corner of his mouth. "No, it's still wrong. At least thirteen acupoints are selected incorrectly." There are tens of thousands of acupoints in the human body, and there are as many as 720 major acupoints alone. The difficulty lies not in the tempering of the acupoints, but in forming a formation. Only with the acupoints as the foundation and the vital energy as the line can the formation be set up and the Zhenwu secret treasure be opened stably. There are so many acupoints and billions of combinations and variations. Even if Gu Yuanqing has extraordinary comprehension, he cannot find the correct method in a short time. A wisp of vital energy from heaven and earth was introduced into the body, quickly repairing the injuries. After a long time, Gu Yuanqing opened his eyes, opened his legs, and fell into deep thought over the route of the martial arts he had deduced, and finally made a decision. "Well, this is my last attempt. I am too fanciful to use the cultivation manuals of Tianwu and Xuanwu to deduce the cultivation method of Shenwu. " "There are fifty Heavenly Daos, forty-nine Great Derivations, and one of them has escaped. After all, my foundation is too weak, and I have too few available resources. I want to use the cultivation books of Tianwu and Xuanwu to deduce the cultivation methods of Shenwu Secret Treasures. It is really too fanciful for me to think that I can open the cultivation books of Tianwu and Xuanwu Secret Treasures to deduce the cultivation methods of Shenwu Secret Treasures." Having made up his mind, Gu Yuanqing made slight adjustments, pushing the vital energy to flow through. The 108 acupoints in his body flashed with light, and the invisible breath swept out and then returned to the body. The breath throughout his body was round and unified, hidden but not revealed. "It's time to open the Zhenwu secret treasure." His thoughts returned to the Crimson Palace, and with the power of the formation, ripples were created in the Crimson Palace. The secret treasure of Zhenwu hidden between the mustard seeds suddenly revealed its trace and was quickly locked onto by Gu Yuanqing's consciousness. The mental method changes, and the acupoints all over the body shine brightly. The invisible energy penetrates the secret treasure with the guidance of the mind, dragging it from between the mustard seeds into the world! Beads of sweat were dripping down his face. Gu Yuanqing used all his strength and his face became a little hideous. Boom! The secret treasure fell into the Crimson Palace. Gu Yuanqing's whole body sank down, the bed board broke, and he sat directly on the ground, and the ground also sank, as if his body suddenly turned into a small hill. Gu Yuanqing's consciousness was blank for a moment, and the Zhenwu secret treasure seemed to be out of control and turned into a mustard seed. Coming back to his senses, he quickly stabilized the formation, then changed his technique again, and injected the surging vital energy in his body into the secret treasure. The secret treasure of Zhenwu is like the creation of the world from chaos, with earth, fire, wind and water emerging. After an unknown amount of time, the Zhenwu secret treasure finally stabilized. Gu Yuanqing finally relaxed and began to check his Zhenwu secret treasure... (End of this chapter)
