Chapter 4: Exorcism
The ice knife cut on his body, the pain was incomparable, the cold sweat on Lin Xuan's head, was also quickly frozen, enduring the pain that was unbearable to normal people, Lin Xuan tried his best to cultivate.
The sky is flying a light point, these are aura, but usually, the cultivator can not see, only when the aura is pure to a certain degree, can feel.
What Lin Xuan had to do was to inhale these points of aura light into his body, with such pure aura, it would be easier to refine them into mana.
Since it was visible, it wasn't difficult to absorb it, but the prerequisite was to endure the pain of the ice blades devouring his body.
One after another point of aura light was sucked into the body, and according to the master teacher's heart method, Lin Xuan incorporated them all into the dantian, and then gathered them into an aura mass.
The next thing to do was to refine it, only to see that aura qi mass rotating constantly in the dantian, shrinking in size but becoming more and more intense in color.
In the end, it finally transformed into a spiritual energy that emanated into the dantian.
And Lin Xuan's patience reached its limit, and he hurriedly pulled out his legs and ran out of the scope of the illusion.
Collapsing on the ground, Lin Xuan gasped for air, not wanting to move even a single finger.
⋯⋯...
This process went on week after week for several hours until it was dark, and only then did Lin Xuan walk towards the exit of the Heart Refining Road.
"Did you hear about it, that disciple without a spiritual root went to the Heart Refining Road to cultivate."
"Hmm, it's said that Uncle Ma saw it with his own eyes."
"Hmph, so what if he has perseverance, ordinary people are destined to never make it in the Immortal Path, waste is always waste!"
⋯
On the way back, Lin Xuan happened to hear the chatter about himself, and even though they had spotted him as well, the disciples didn't care in the slightest and continued to be sarcastic in a mocking tone.
Lin Xuan frowned, but he would not get angry, because it does not help, in the cultivation world want to get the respect of others, there is only one way, and that is the strength, rather than be unnecessarily angry here, it is better to go back to rest and continue to practice.
Returning to his residence, Lin Xuan pulled open the drawer and took out the paper filled with cultivation methods.
Repel objects, the spell of using spiritual energy to drive objects through the air, it is one of the most basic, but also one of the most important spells in the cultivation world, it is the root of using magic treasures, of course, magic treasures are still too far away for Lin Xuan right now, but he can practice this spell.
Using true essence, focusing the divine mind, attaching the consciousness to an object and making it move.
Throughout the afternoon, Lin Xuan practiced it over and over again, before, he had tried it but failed, after so many days of cultivation in the Path of Refined Heart, his spiritual energy had also strengthened a bit, which was why he had a new attempt.
Several hours had passed, and after concentrating on the cups in front of him all the time, his eyes were sore and he was dizzy, so Lin Xuan took a short break and then continued...
Suddenly, the cup moved.
Although it was very slight, but it did move, Lin Xuan did not stop, running the spiritual energy, continue to the repellent art practice, until very late, before going to bed.
The next day, Lin Xuan came back to the Refined Heart Road.
The mists were thick, the ghosts and shadows were heavy, this time the illusion was the netherworld, countless severe ghosts like Lin Xuan pounced over, but the teenager turned a blind eye.
This hard time of cultivation, not only was his strength increasing, Lin Xuan's mind had also become tougher and more mature, and his endurance had increased dramatically, initially, Lin Xuan could only stay in the terrifying illusions for a few minutes, but now even though he went deeper and deeper, and endured even more terrifying illusions, he was able to hold out for an hour.
Ghosts, as well as all sorts of horrific scenes surfaced in his mind, and all sorts of devastating negative influences invaded, Lin Xuan gritted his teeth and endured the pain, and endeavored to absorb the spiritual qi to cultivate.
⋯⋯...
Leaving the scope of influence of the illusion, Lin Xuan sat down on his knees on the ground, refining the absorbed spiritual qi, and then doing a circumferential cycle.
Through the meridians to run, and finally return to the dantian, Lin Xuan did a total of nine times, spiritual energy in the flow of the meridians, although it can be allowed to grow slowly, but it is also a great burden on the body, the average disciple will only do three times, but Lin Xuan has given himself the rules to do nine times.
This was already close to the limits of the human body, the first three times were fine, four times five times, the meridians were sore and swollen, seven times eight times, it was as painful as a knife cut, as for the ninth time, it was simply as painful as purgatory, Lin Xuan's forehead was full of bean-sized beads of sweat, his body even shivered uncontrollably from the pain, but he still tenaciously persisted, and finally completed the goal a few hours later.
After doing the great circumference exercise, Lin Xuan re-entered the illusionary realm.
Just like this week after week, Lin Xuan practiced hard at the Heart Refining Path, the pain that usually had to be endured by Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivators was something that he bore down hard with his tough perseverance.
Lin Xuan sat cross-legged on the ground, like an old monk in meditation, at this time, in his dantian, there was a light greenish-colored orb that was constantly twisting and changing, it was made from the gathering of spiritual energy.
A trace of spiritual energy was still being injected into that orb, after a month of practicing at the Path of Refining the Heart, Lin Xuan felt that his cultivation had increased quite a bit, and once again, he launched himself like the second layer of the Spiritual Dynamic Stage.
For cultivators, every time a realm rises one level, the spiritual energy undergoes a metamorphosis, and Lin Xuan was now at the most critical stage.
It was still a little bit short!
The divine sense expanded to the entire dantian, trying to search for the remnants of spiritual energy, injecting them into the orb, Lin Xuan felt like a sponge that had been squeezed dry, but still desperately trying to squeeze out a little bit of water.
Prickle...
The ball of spiritual energy changed again, a lightning bolt appeared on the surface, the aura began to spill out, the ball was about to collapse.
Lin Xuan did not give up, as far as possible to maintain, but has reached the limit, bang, a light sound, the green ball burst, the gathering of spiritual energy decomposition, and then into a hair-sized spiritual energy, evenly distributed in the dantian.
