488: Fusion, Yang Flame

Lu Li just returned to the courtyard and hadn't even settled in when he received a Mount Tai Sect manual from Su Qing.

It not only contains detailed methods for breaking through to the Martial Saint, but also various precautions, and lists many negative examples of failed breakthroughs, so that people can learn from them.

This is all the accumulated knowledge of the Mount Tai Sect over thousands of years, concise and detailed, which is exactly what Lu Li urgently needs!

He had no one to pass on his knowledge, and figuring it out on his own was not only risky, but also very time-consuming and energy-draining.

Su Qing's actions truly solved the immediate crisis, Lu Li, disregarding everything else, quickly began his research.

Most of this information comes from ancient times, and the term "yangyan" (阳炎) to describe nuclear fusion is quite apt.

"Yangyan has the ability to temper the body. Igniting one [Yang Flame Acupoint] on each of the chest, back, limbs, and head can greatly enhance physical strength and facilitate breaking through realms."

"However, the Yang Flame Acupoint place a heavy burden on the physical body. Once ignited, one must undergo tribulation as soon as possible, otherwise it will affect lifespan."

"The danger of the Martial Saint's Tribulation lies in the acupoints on the head; the slightest mistake will surely lead to death."

There are fifty or sixty acupoints on the human head. If any one of them goes wrong, it's like a nuclear explosion inside the brain.

Even an "Indestructible Will" cannot stop such an implosion; the documents describe it clearly and also provide a countermeasure.

Ignite the Shen Ting and Bai Hui acupoints on the forehead and the Yu Zhen acupoint on the back of the head to help the body adapt in advance.

These three acupoints on the head offer the best value for money. If possible, it's best to ignite as many as possible to mitigate the risk in advance.

However, this would greatly shorten one's lifespan, and the choice is entirely up to the Cultivator.

Lu Li continued reading, only to find another solution:

"At the Manifestation, by using one's heart to bless oneself, the risks can be greatly reduced."

The Heart-to-Heart Blessing technique is very familiar to Lu Li; it involves filling the gaps between cells with Dark Matter, encasing each cell in "armor," thus greatly increasing its natural protective power.

However, the Mount Tai Sect's materials list it last, suggesting it's not highly regarded.

After a moment's thought, Lu Li understood the reason—the cost-effectiveness was too low.

If you fail to break through to the Spirit Refinement, you'll die anyway, so it's better to directly advance to Martial Saint and try for a qualitative leap.

Not everyone is a super genius; those who can cultivate both divine and martial arts simultaneously are ultimately a minority.

But Lu Li is precisely a super genius, the most abnormal kind, who goes against the grain and undergoes the tribulation of lightning first!

The moment his thought arose, his mental image amplified it; electric arcs moved across his body surface, and his Divine Soul, undergoing tribulation, also received his blessing!

With divine will as a constraint, it's like having an extra layer of insurance, greatly reducing the difficulty of breaking through to the Martial Saint level.

Moreover, as husband and wife are one, these blessings can also be shared with the wife!

This is the saying "no pain, no gain"—the risky breakthrough through the lightning tribulation has yielded rich rewards!

At this moment, Xia Weiyin and the others heard the commotion and came looking for their husbands.

The appearance of four fair-skinned and sexy beauties instantly transformed the quiet courtyard into a bright and sunny place, filling the air with a sweet fragrance.

Xing Ru not here, and no one knows where she went.

Lu Li didn't ask any questions for the time being, but instead imparted the relevant knowledge about the Martial Saint to him.

The women looked surprised, and then quickly began to comprehend it.

The courtyard was quiet, with only the rustling of the tender leaves in the spring breeze. In just a few days, the entire mountainside had turned completely green.

The women, all possessing considerable Spirit Refinement cultivation, quickly finished studying the contents.

"Concise and detailed, truly worthy of the Five Peaks Immortal Sect."

Xia Weiyin asked, "Did Su Qing give it to you?"

Lu Li nodded and said, "That's right, we really should thank her."

To pass intelligence under the very nose of a seasoned Heavenly Monarch is truly a fate worse than death if discovered!

The women were inwardly impressed, and their lingering reservations vanished, though their expressions remained somewhat strange.

These two were clearly having an affair, but in the end they became sworn brothers. It really shows how unpredictable life can be.

"Cough cough."

Xia Weijun coughed lightly, changing the subject:

"Young master, may I let my master and the others see this Martial Saint manual? My Zhenyangzi also wants to become a Martial Saint."

"Sure."

Even though his cultivation level had surpassed theirs, Lu Li still held the two Daoist Priest in high esteem and immediately said:

"There's still a good idea; take it with you while you're at it."

He raised his hand, clenched his fist, and wrapped four hundred units of spiritual energy in his divine sense, handing them to Xia Weiyin alone.

Then, mouth to mouth, he transferred 200 units to each woman.

Xia Weiyin licked his lips and sighed:

"My Qixia Mountain Spiritual Vein only yields 20 spirit stones a year... Before I met Lu Li, I never dared to imagine that spiritual energy could be used so freely."

Lu Li couldn't reply because Yue Ru was so engrossed in kissing him that she wouldn't let go.

They smelled the incense for a full five minutes before separating.

Lu Li stroked the girl's cat ears and asked, "Where did Xing Ru go?"

"They went to the Dragon Girl's place."

Xia Weiyin replied, "The Dragon Girl is pregnant, and it wouldn't be right for us to ignore her since we're so close. Xing Ru, please go and visit her on our behalf."

Lu Li nodded. Xiao Yu had always liked Xing Ru, so it would be good for her to keep him company and help him pass the time.

"I'll go take a look too, and bring back some Spirit Fruit while I'm at it."

After saying goodbye to his wives, Lu Li flew off towards Dragon Mountain.

Xia Weiyin called out from below, "There's one more thing. Qiu Yan requests an audience with you, saying she wants to convey a message from her Heavenly Monarch."

"Wait for me to come back."

~~~~~~~~~~~~

It was only 20 kilometers away, and Lu Li arrived in no time.

Familiar with the way, we entered the dragon's mouth, which is even larger than the Forbidden City, and instantly arrived in the spiritual realm.

Xiao Yu was gently rubbing Xing Ru's head, a smile on her face.

Anyone would be happy to have a cat come to their door and offer to be petted.

When Lu Li, Xiao Yu was even happier. She let go of the cat in her arms and immediately picked up Lu Li.

"Little one, you're here~"

"You look great."

Lu Li cupped the other person's face in his hands and examined it closely. There was only a slight sign of fatigue; the person was in excellent condition.

Little Xiao Yu rubbed her face against Lu Li's and said with a smile:

"Because you gave me so many brilliant ideas, I'm sure I'll get better!"

"Then I'll give you some more!"

Lu Li immediately kissed Lu Li on the lips, and 3000 liters passed between them.

A bright blue light danced between their mouths as they poured the spiritual energy into their mouths, Xing Ru astonishment.

That's way too much! Lu Lu is incredibly good to his woman.

The Xiao Yu squinted comfortably, smacked its lips, and said, "This is the essence of another world, it smells so sweet."

"I'll take you to see it soon. By the way, are you able to access the power of wills yet?"

"It should be ready in about 10 more days..."

Xiao Yu rubbed her lower abdomen and said, "I ate a lot of spiritual energy over there. I'll help you recover before I go, as a way of repaying you~"

Upon hearing this, Lu Li couldn't help but feel a sense of anticipation. Dragons are the planet's "immune system," and they're not just for fighting and killing.

At this moment, the Xiao Yu poked its head over and sniffed him twice, then said:

"You smell like Yang Yan?"

"Oh, I've lit the Artificial Sun."

Great Sun Halo appeared behind Lu Li's head. Xing Ru, still a virgin, was not exempt from the life magnetic field and was forced to retreat repeatedly.

Xiao Yu's eyes lit up as she said, "Let me go in and take a look. My next cultivation session also involves igniting the Great Sun!"

"Okay, come on."

Lu Li readily agreed and directly opened the Spirit Realm to take the Xiao Yu inside.

"Xing Ru, why don't you go have some fun too?"

"Ah, okay!"

Xing Ru looked surprised and immediately nodded vigorously upon hearing this.

Lu Li then drew her into the spiritual realm as well, and then entered himself.

The next update will be around 12 o'clock. The recent continuous cloudy weather has caused my cervical spondylosis to flare up, so updates have been inconsistent. I apologize to everyone.
