As Liu Xiaolou was played day after day, the light and shadow detected in the drum and flute gradually became larger. At first, the shape could not be distinguished, and it looked like a bubble that was changing at any time. After half a month, the bubble not only became as big as a child's head, but also showed a Chuyi layer of light yellow.
Liu Xiaolou continues to play the song "Soul Nurturing". Every time he plays, it will attract hundreds of birds to perch on the branches and hundreds of beasts to watch, and the light and shadow in the drum and flute also grow Tiantian.
One month later, the light and shadow had grown to more than two feet long. Two months later, the light and shadow had grown to three feet long and divided into two closely connected parts. One large and one small. Three months later, the light and shadow had grown to three and a half feet. The two parts, one large and one small, continued to divide. The small part divided into two small branches, and the large part divided into five small branches. Four months later, the light and shadow had grown to four feet long. Each branch became further clear. The small part It looked like a head with pointed ears, and the larger part had grown limbs and a tail. Five months later, the light and shadow became clearer, and it was obvious that it was the shadow of the dead leopard, while its body was still hanging under the tree trunk and had dried. Six months later, the leopard's eyes, nose, ears, mouth, claws, tail and other parts had been completely differentiated, and the color had brown stripes.
Liu Xiaolou practiced hard for half a year, and finally Soul Nurturing succeeded.
He also played this song "Soul Nurturing" hundreds of times! No matter how nice the music is, if you play it every day, it will make you want to vomit. What Liu Xiaolou is most happy about at the moment is not actually the cultivation of the soul of the leopard, but the fact that he can change the music.
The soul shadow of the spirit leopard is very light, small in size, and the clarity needs to be further improved. Accordingly, in order for this soul shadow to be able to fight, it is necessary to play the Third Branch track - "Strong Soul".
But this is a long-term effort, and the effectiveness of the song itself is also closely related to the level of cultivation. With Liu Xiaolou's current cultivation level, no matter how well "Strong Soul" is played, the improvement to Spirit Leopard soul shadow will be very limited, so next, a lot of time needs to be invested in improving the cultivation level.
So he took out Spirit Stone from Universe Bag, and followed the Xuanzhen Cultivation Method formula to absorb spiritual power, transform true energy, and attack the acupuncture points.
In this small world covered by Tree Demon, Liu Xiaolou's practice career is very regular:
Play the song "Strong Soul" once every morning to help Spirit Leopard soul shadow grow. This piece of music is passionate and majestic, not as soothing and peaceful as the previous piece, so the birds no longer fly around, and the beasts no longer watch. Instead, Tree Demon reacts more, the branches tremble, and sway in the absence of wind.
From morning to evening, hold Spirit Stone in hand and continue to practice Meridians, working hard to open up every acupuncture point, and make steady progress towards Qi Refining ninth layer.
In the evening, play the song "Strengthening the Soul" again and eat a meal of food fed by Tree Demon. Most of the time, these foods are birds, snakes, rats and various fruits. Sometimes, you will also receive some creepy-looking things, such as large wriggling centipedes and round beetles. Tree Demon will occasionally catch some spiritual things and feed them to him.
What he likes to eat most is an unknown red berry, which contains quite a lot of spiritual power. A handful of more than ten berries is equivalent to half a piece of Spirit Stone. Unfortunately, Liu Xiaolou searched all over the two-thirds of Tree Demon's land, but he couldn't find such berries growing anywhere.
There is also a kind of fat worm as big as a thumb, which looks disgusting, but tastes great after eating. Every mouthful of gravy is no worse than the Su family's Spirit Wine Osmanthus Fragrance. If you can eat it often, you can practice without Spirit Stone.
It's a pity that berries and fat worms cannot be eaten by Tiantian.
The reason why he was able to calm down and practice was not only because he wanted to escape as soon as possible, but also for another important reason. For some reason, Hand Taiyang Meridian's acupuncture points that had not yet been opened became easier to open, as if they had been "loosened" before. Liu Xiaolou suspected that maybe it was because Tree Demon's branches had penetrated it to suck the true energy and blood.
The Xiaohai point was conquered in only six days, then Jianzhen, which took seven days, and then Jishu, which took five days. Tianzong point took six days, Bingfeng point took five days, and Quyuan was a big point, but it took nine days to get through, but it was far more than that.
Then there are Jianwaiyu, Jianzhongyu, Tianluo, Tianrong, Zhongliao, until the last level is Tinggong point.
Regarding the Tinggong acupoint, Liu Xiaolou originally planned to spend a month to loosen the acupoint, but it only took nine days for Hand Taiyang Meridian to get through it in one fell swoop.
From Xiaohai acupoint to Tinggong acupoint, most of the thirteen acupoints on Meridians were opened in less than three months. It is incredible, twice as fast as on Qianzhu Ridge.
At this point, he officially entered Qi Refining ninth layer.
After staying in the mountains for a long time, it was difficult to tell the day, and there was no one to ask. I could only roughly estimate that I should be over twenty-six years old.
Twenty-six-year-old Qi Refining ninth layer, not bad!
Put aside distracting thoughts and keep working hard. The ninth level of Xuanzhen Cultivation Method practice is Foot Shaoyin Meridian. From Yongquan to Yufu, a total of twenty-seven acupoints need to be opened. This Meridians has more acupuncture points, especially large acupoints, such as Yongquan, Dazhong, Zhubin, Siman, Shangqu, Tonggu, Youmen, Shenfeng, Lingxu, Shenzang, Yufu, etc., all of which have true energy pools. If we follow the past practice speed, and there is no shortage of Spirit Stone, it will take at least two to two and a half years to open it up.
But like the previous one Meridians, this one Foot Shaoyin Meridian seems to have been loosened by the opening and loosening of the branches and buds of Tree Demon, making it particularly easy to practice.
Yongquan only took seven days, Rangu and Taixi both took five days, Dazhong took eight days, Shuiquan, Zhaohai, Fuzhi and Jiaoxin all took only four days, Zhubin took seven days, and the following Yingu Valley, Henggu, Dahe and Qixiao were even more exaggerated, each taking only three days!
When Liu Xiaolou got through four full lines, Meridians got through half of it, and it only took two months!
As his cultivation progressed by leaps and bounds, Spirit Leopard soul shadow also gradually grew stronger, more substantial, clearer and more agile, and now he is as big as a young leopard.
He continued to work diligently, breaking through every acupoint one after another, including Zhongzhu, Shangqu, Shiguan, and Yindu. Two months later, he opened up the last Yufu acupoint in one go and successfully broke through Qi Refining tenth layer!
Qi Refining tenth layer from Xuanzhen Cultivation Method is the most difficult level. The one who practices is Foot Greater Yang Meridian, with a total of sixty-seven points! Usually it takes three to five years to get this Meridians through, but Liu Xiaolou doesn't find it difficult now because this Meridians has also been loosened.
Jingming, Cuanzhu, Meichong, Qucha, Wuchu, Chengguang, Tongtian, Luoque, eight acupuncture points were opened in one month, which was so fast that he woke up laughing while sleeping.
But the good times came to an abrupt end because Spirit Stone was exhausted, and at the same time, Bamboo Leaf Green, which once filled less than half of the storage space, was also consumed.
For a time, Liu Xiaolou's practice stagnated.
He felt depressed. But after being depressed for a moment, I accepted the reality.
Summon Spirit Leopard soul shadow from the drum and flute and evaluate it carefully. Of course, this soul shadow is not as good as the big snake soul shadow Badong cultivator back then, but it has begun to take shape.
The figure of more than five feet long, the vivid expression, and the exact same color as the body's fur are all breathtaking.
As expected, Soul Shadow will continue to advance as his cultivation level increases. Now he is Qi Refining tenth layer and Spirit Leopard soul shadow, which is a level higher than when he was on the eighth and ninth levels.
After watching it for a long time, Liu Xiaolou secretly decided to practice the soul shadow for another three months and try to escape!
