Chapter 096 Gathering Qi and Concentrating the Mind
Su Ruowei then realized that she had been staring at the door the whole time.
"Then I'm going!"
Su Ruowei pursed her lips and turned to look at the girl. After the girl nodded gently, she opened the door.
She was startled as soon as she stepped outside; a pool of bright red blood came into Su Ruowei's view.
The bloodstains were fresh, indicating that someone had just been injured here.
"Lin Fan!"
Su Ruowei's mind went blank as if electrified. At this moment, whether Lin Fan had cheated on her was no longer important. The most urgent thing was Lin Fan's safety.
In a panic, Su Ruowei ran downstairs, trying to find Lin Fan's whereabouts.
Judging from the bloodstains, the injury was quite serious, and the person probably didn't go too far.
On the fifth-floor rooftop, the full moon hangs high in the sky.
Lin Fan stood on the rooftop, the cold night wind brushing his face, the silvery moonlight shining on him.
"puff!"
Suddenly, Lin Fan coughed up a mouthful of blood and immediately knelt on the ground.
"I'm starting to regret taking the blood lightning head-on." Lin Fan smiled as he wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.
Then Lin Fan looked up at the bright moon and said, "If it weren't for the fact that it was a full moon, I would probably be dead."
Lin Fan sat cross-legged on the ground, and the secret technique from the "Essentials of Ancient Medicine"—the Sky-Gazing Mirror—flashed through his mind.
When the moon is full, use the celestial mirror to gather energy and concentrate the mind, turning attacks into cures and eliminating all diseases.
The full moon is also known as the Heavenly Mirror. The secret technique, Heavenly Mirror, can only be used on the night of the full moon and can re-condense the scattered spiritual energy in the dantian.
Spiritual energy is the energy source for martial artists, and the Qi Sea is the container in the body that stores spiritual energy, similar to the Dantian. If the spiritual energy is disordered, one cannot cultivate martial arts, and in severe cases, one will lose all one's power, or even die.
Conversely, if one wishes to become a martial artist, the first step is to condense one's Qi Sea and acquire spiritual energy. As the spiritual energy increases, one's cultivation and strength will also increase.
There are many techniques for gathering disordered spiritual energy, but Lin Fan cannot act rashly because the Blood Thunder Curse exists in the world. As long as he uses spiritual energy, it will trigger blood thunder.
The Sky-Gazing Mirror is different. It is a medical technique that is different from a martial arts technique. Although it also requires spiritual energy to use, the mystery lies in the fact that when using the Sky-Gazing Mirror to heal injuries, one must be attacked by a similar technique again.
For example, if someone is poisoned and their internal organs are damaged, they will need to take the same type of poison again when using the Sky-Gazing Mirror on the night of a full moon. This poison will then become a healing force, repairing the internal organs damaged by the previous poison.
In other words, Lin Fan used the Sky-Gazing Mirror to deliberately trigger a blood lightning bolt, and this blood lightning bolt would heal his body, which had been severely injured by the previous blood lightning bolt.
Lin Fan used his remaining free spiritual energy to trigger the secret technique, the Mirror of Heaven.
In an instant, the full moon in the night sky was gradually covered by a shadow, the full moon slowly turned into a waning moon, and finally disappeared completely.
As the lunar eclipse occurred, dark clouds gathered due to the Blood Thunder Curse, and the crimson lightning arrived as promised, striking towards Lin Fan.
The moment the lightning touched Lin Fan's body, it transformed into a crimson ball of lightning. This time, the lightning didn't last for a minute; instead, it was directly absorbed into Lin Fan's body.
The blood lightning entered Lin Fan's body and began to repair his injuries.
Meanwhile, the night sky cleared, and the lunar eclipse gradually disappeared.
"Phew! I thought it was a useless secret technique, but I didn't expect it to come in handy." After letting out a long sigh, Lin Fan immediately fell asleep on the rooftop.
The Sky-Gazing Mirror consumes 100% of the user's stamina. Whether the user is physically strong or weak, they will fall asleep from exhaustion, but that's all they will do.
Dangyang Mountain is located in the northern suburbs of Shancheng City.
An elderly man with graying temples stood beside a wooden house, gazing at the distant sky.
"Two blood lightning strikes in one day! Two more reckless individuals have challenged the majesty of the Heavenly Emperor."
The old man stood with his hands behind his back, shaking his head and sighing.
A tall man emerged from the wooden house and respectfully said to the old man, "Master, the meal is ready. Please come and eat."
The old man nodded and walked into the wooden house, with the man following closely behind.
Inside the wooden house, an old man and a man sat at a wooden table.
The tall man was Lian Jiulong, and the old man was Fang Yixiao, a master of Qigong.
"Kowloon, what have you gained in these five years down the mountain?" the old man asked as he began to eat.
Lian Jiulong put down the chopsticks he had just picked up, smiled awkwardly, and said, "This disciple is not talented. After leaving the mountain, I picked up worldly habits and almost went astray. Fortunately, I met a master today who not only did not hold it against me, but also saved my life."
"What kind of expert?" Fang Yixiao asked.
Fang Yixiao knew that Lian Jiulong was exceptionally talented. Although he was not yet thirty, he had a more profound understanding than the other disciples. His strength, cultivated for more than 20 years, far surpassed that of the eldest disciple who had cultivated for more than 50 years.
However, Lian Jiulong was a martial arts fanatic, proud and arrogant. After surpassing all his senior brothers, he bid farewell to Fang Yixiao and went down the mountain.
Fang Yixiao readily agreed to let Lian Jiulong go down the mountain, but set some rules for him before he went:
First, he must not be allowed to use lethal force.
Second, he must never be allowed to participate in fights involving monetary transactions;
Third, you can return to the mountain at any time if you wish.
However, Fang Yixiao only let Lian Jiulong go down the mountain because he recognized Lian Jiulong's strength. Unexpectedly, Lian Jiulong returned to the mountain in just five years.
After Lian Jiulong went down the mountain, the other dozen or so disciples went down the mountain to train, but none of them have returned to the mountain yet.
Why did Lian Jiulong, the disciple with the highest comprehension, return first? Therefore, Fang Yixiao was quite curious about the person who could surpass Lian Jiulong.
"A young man named Lin Fan blocked the crimson lightning for me." Lian Jiulong's tone was filled with gratitude, and he subconsciously looked out the window into the distance.
"Crimson lightning?" Fang Yixiao looked at Lian Jiulong in disbelief. "Today? What time?"
Immediately afterwards, Fang Yixiao frowned, a hint of worry appearing between his brows.
"Hmm, let me think." After a brief moment of thought, Lian Jiulong said, "Around one o'clock this afternoon."
Fang Yixiao revealed a look of sudden realization. He hadn't expected that the first blood lightning bolt of the day was the work of his own disciple. At the same time, he was extremely surprised that even Jiulong had already opened his Qi Sea.
"It's been decades, and I never expected that I would train another true martial arts practitioner here." Fang Yixiao said with satisfaction.
"A true martial arts practitioner?" Lian Jiulong's face showed doubt.
"Never mind, it's not for you to know anyway." Fang Yixiao finished speaking and then reminded him, "From now on, you are only allowed to use Qigong. Never use spiritual energy again. Forget the feeling of triggering spiritual energy today, and no one will risk their life to save you again."
"This disciple will follow your teachings!" Lian Jiulong replied hastily.
"Remember this day, and visit your benefactor's grave every year," Fang Yixiao sighed.
Lian Jiulong seemed to understand something. So that feeling he had today was called spiritual energy. However, he was filled with lingering fear and resolved never to use spiritual energy again. If he were to trigger the crimson lightning again, his life would be in danger.
But even after thinking about it again, Lian Jiulong still didn't understand what Fang Yixiao meant by "sweeping the tomb."
"Master, why are we sweeping the grave? Our benefactor is still alive and well," Lian Jiulong asked, puzzled.
Upon hearing this, Fang Yixiao was so shocked that he dropped his chopsticks to the ground: "He's still alive?"
