Chapter 185: Chapter 103: You Are All Abnormal_2

"So fast?"

Fu Leisheng was shocked, yet he saw Chen Shi start running again, with increasing speed, forming sword techniques with his hands, constantly thrusting his sword!

"Snap!" "Snap!" "Snap!"

A hundred yards away, pebbles burst apart with precise accuracy, without a single miss!

Fu Leisheng picked up a pile of pebbles and, cradling them in his clothes, shouted loudly, "Chen Shi, a hundred yards distance!"

Chen Shi understood, and the two of them, a hundred yards apart, started to sprint at the same time. Fu Leisheng’s steps were elusive, twisting and turning like a snake, as his figure flitted unpredictably and he kept tossing pebbles into the air.

Chen Shi followed his sprint, weaving through the dense forest, and whenever he saw a pebble fly up, he would make a thrust with his sword.

Out of ten stones, he could hit seven or eight.

From morning practice until noon, Chen Shi had managed to improve to hitting nine out of ten times, and sometimes even ten out of ten.

Fu Leisheng, somewhat exhausted, shook his head and said, "No more practice, no more. Chen Shi, how do you do it?"

"Where sight reaches, intention arrives." freewebnøvel.coɱ

Chen Shi answered honestly, "Once my intention is set, my spirit follows. When spirit and Sword Qi merge, there are no misses. It’s just that sometimes random thoughts can disrupt my concentration, like suddenly a thought crosses my mind and causes my Sword Qi to veer off slightly."

Fu Leisheng was even more stunned and exclaimed, "Your spirit can command Sword Qi as far as a hundred yards? Wait a moment! Black Pot, Black Pot, come here!"

Black Pot ran over.

Fu Leisheng carved a wooden plaque, wrote a line of characters on it, had Black Pot carry the plaque a hundred yards away, and said, "Chen Shi, can you see the characters on the wooden plaque clearly with your spirit?"

Chen Shi concentrated hard and was suddenly astonished, saying, "I can see it, it’s blurry but I can roughly make out ’Essence... Qi... Spirit’—the three as one, Essence-Qi-Spirit Harmony!"

Fu Leisheng exhaled a gust of turbid breath, mumbling to himself, "Indeed it is the five characters ’Essence-Qi-Spirit Harmony.’ The Harmony of Essence, Qi, and Spirit is a crucial step in the transformation from Golden Core to Nascent Soul. One must use the Golden Core as a seed, harmonize Essence, Qi, and Spirit into the Golden Core, and only then can the Core transform into Yellow Bud. Once the Yellow Bud grows, it becomes the Nascent Soul. I’ve read many books and sought the mysteries of the Nascent Soul, but they all seemed ambiguous."

He shook his head, that Harmony which he had long sought after and had never been able to achieve, unexpectedly, Chen Shi had inadvertently achieved it!

"Harmonizing the three is simple."

Chen Shi said, puzzled, "I practice the Beidou Seven Refinements and then condense the Golden Core. After seven returns, eight transformations, and nine restitutions, Essence-Qi-Spirit Harmony comes naturally."

He didn’t think it was difficult.

The Beidou Seven Refinements were to temper bones, heart, blood, flesh, skin, Qi, and spirit—among them, the Yaoguang Step tempered the spirit, and with diligent practice these days, his spirit had become exceedingly strong without his realization. Qi-Blood had also been tempered through countless trials and now could be said to have achieved the Holy Embryo Dharma Body!

Originally once he had refined the Holy Embryo, his physical body was the Divine Embryo, and now having achieved the Dharma Body, Qi-Blood spread throughout his body, with Spells naturally following his intent, everything as he wished.

"What do you mean by seven returns?" Fu Leisheng asked.

"After forming the Golden Core," Chen Shi explained, "the Golden Core refines the Jadescent Nectar, which returns to the channels, Qi, blood, essence, bones, marrow, form, and spirit."

"What do you mean by eight transformations?"

"Transforming channels, the pulse ceases as if dead. Transforming Qi, gathering into condensation. Transforming blood, the blood turns to milk. Transforming essence, forming exquisite crystals. Transforming bones, bones like Red Jade. Transforming marrow, marrow Transformed into Mysterious Frost. Transforming form, Shape Clear Body Marvelous. Transforming spirit, Divine Transformation."

"What do you mean by nine restitutions?"

"The Golden Core returning kidney, returning heart, return liver, returning lung, returning spleen, returning core, returning Qi, returning essence, Returning Spirit."

Fu Leisheng stood there dumbstruck, foolishly still for a long while, tears running down his cheeks.

Chen Shi was puzzled in his heart. Seven returns, eight transformations, and nine restitutions were all included in most of the Cultivation Techniques on the stele outside the True King’s Tomb; were they not common, and was Fu Leisheng so distraught over them?

"This is the method for refining a great medicine!"

Fu Leisheng, tears streaming, suddenly burst into laughter that sounded like crying, "This is the method for refining the great medicine of the human body! This medicine requires no external seeking, only internal refining. With seven returns, eight transformations, and nine restitutions, the great medicine of the human body is naturally formed! No need to buy Spirit Pills for breakthroughs, nor to seek higher methods!"

He was laughing and crying like a madman.

"I’ve studied this for twenty years, twenty years! I always thought Qi-Blood was insufficient for the breakthrough after Golden Core ninth turn; I thought we needed to refine Spirit Pills for the breakthrough, never realizing the Golden Core itself was the great medicine!"

"The Golden Core is the great medicine!"

He knelt on the ground, weeping, "I’ve wasted twenty years! I should have formed the Nascent Soul earlier, yet I’ve wasted twenty years! How many decades does one have in life? But it’s not too late!"

He leaped up, with child-like foolishness, shouting, "With the Golden Core’s seven returns, eight transformations, and nine restitutions, I can plant the Golden Core, grow the Yellow Bud, and cultivate the Nascent Soul!"

"Chen Shi, you are my honored teacher. I kowtow to you!"

"I will kowtow several more times!"

"Doggy, I will never doubt you again! I kowtow to you!"

He was maddened, and Black Pot, rather surprised, returned the gesture earnestly with a few kowtows.

Fu Leisheng wouldn’t let it go, insisting on kowtowing, and so man and dog took turns bowing, matching each other kowtow for kowtow.

Chen Shi stood aside quietly, waiting for him to return to normal, somewhat bewildered in his heart.

"Seven returns, eight transformations, nine restitutions—are they not included in the normal Cultivation Techniques? Has Mr. Fu never seen them?"

After a long while, Fu Leisheng came out of his frenzy, thought about his just past behavior, and couldn’t help feeling somewhat embarrassed.

"Well, Chen Shi, Black Pot, let’s not speak of this to others."

He spoke hesitantly, "I still need to teach in town. If it comes out, I’ll be the laughingstock."

Chen Shi smiled and said, "The heavens and the earth take my form; better to seek oneself than to seek gods and spirits. If the Golden Core isn’t the great medicine for breakthrough, what’s the use of refining it? Just to make fighting powerful?"
