The Journey to the Other World Starting from Douluo.

Chapter 22: Essence, Qi, and Spirit

Wu Tong looked at the map of meridians and acupoints, thought for a while, then reached out and pulled.

A panel appeared next to "Wu Tong"'s body. It was azure blue and full of system style.

But this is not a system. It is just a tool generated by Wu Tong based on his own intelligence to help him understand the abilities he possesses.

It contains detailed data on the experiments Wu Tong had gone through, as well as Wu Tong's diary:
"The second year since I came to the Crown Prince's Mansion: I can no longer practice the Red Wheel Sutra. Every time I circulate it, I feel a burning sensation in my meridians and acupoints. Why does this happen? Is it because my body can't bear it? Or is it because of the technique? I'll try to exercise my body first."

"It's been the third year since I came to the Prince's Mansion. Why? It's been a year, but there is still no progress. Every time I try to use my energy, my body can't bear it and explodes and dies. Is there something I haven't noticed? Let's try the medicinal bath."

"Four years in the Crown Prince's Mansion: Damn it, why is this energy so violent? Is there no way to suppress it? Why would it not obey commands inside a person's body? Wait... a person? I have an idea..."

"Supplementary theoretical knowledge: According to Taoist thought, the human body is composed of three things, namely "essence", "qi" and "shen". They correspond to the body, energy and spirit respectively.

The original concept of my Red Wheel Sutra only focused on the accumulation of energy, but ignored the growth of the spirit and body. Even though the body is trained every time, the improvement of physical strength cannot keep up with the improvement of the amount of true qi.

After a year of training, although my body has been strengthened, it is still not enough, but I can still barely bear the energy. So there is only one reason why I always fail, the lack of "spirit". The "spirit" is too weak, so I can't control this huge energy. I finally found the reason, so the next priority is to create a method to refine the spirit."

"It's the last day of the fourth year: I succeeded. With the help of the Purple Demon Eye, I finally created a method for refining the soul, the Sun Visualization Diagram. This method of refining the soul with the power of the sun can complement the Red Wheel Sutra."

"The first day of the fifth year in the Prince's Mansion: The "Spirit" and "Qi" exercises have been successful. The next step is to complete the creation of the "Essence" exercise. But how do I create it? I don't have any idea.
For spiritual training, I have the Purple Demon Eye as a reference, and for the Red Wheel Sutra, I have the Mysterious Heaven Technique and the Meditation Method as references, but what should I do for physical training? The strong bodies of people in Douluo Continent are all due to their martial spirits, so the creation of spiritual power is really a headache. "

"In the middle of the fifth year since I came to the Crown Prince's Mansion: I was so stupid that I forgot about the Tiger Leopard Thunder Sound method of using vibration to train the body. Now, I finally have a reference."

"In the sixth year, I succeeded. The method of refining essence, the Morning Light Body Refining Technique, is also a body training method that mainly uses the power of the sun, using the power of the sun's fluctuations to temper the body. This body training method happens to have the same origin as the method of refining the spirit and the method of refining qi. Next, I need to try it...

There are no operational errors in the practice of the physical training method. The physical condition is slowly improving. The limit operation is detected... There is no internal damage during the limit operation. The physical condition is improving. The physical training method has been successfully created!!!"

"In the middle of the sixth year, the essence, energy and spirit were finally balanced. Now, we just need to integrate the methods of refining essence, energy and spirit, and change the concept of creating the method to create a method that can be practiced by the three treasures together."

“In the second half of the sixth year, the skills were successfully integrated, so we tested whether there were any problems with the skills.

Hmm? Qian Renxue sent someone to look for me... Then come back and test again."

The diary ends here, with a huge amount of data interspersed in the middle, which is the record of Wu Tong's creation of the law.

Looking at this experimental record, Wu Tong's eyes were full of anticipation as he looked at the other "Wu Tong" in front of him.

As "Wu Tong" practiced according to the skills given by Wu Tong, the artificial sun in the dream space began to drop solar power, transmitting energy to "Wu Tong".

As "Wu Tong" pushed the skills to the limit and circulated them for a hundred cycles, he still did not feel any discomfort. Instead, the attributes of various aspects of his body were slowly improving. Wu Tong finally breathed a sigh of relief. The integrated skills were running very stably.

Then it is no longer appropriate to call it the Red Wheel Sutra, so let's call it the Red Wheel Heart Sutra, a practice that integrates the three treasures of essence, energy and spirit.

Perhaps it can be considered a pretty good magical skill in some Chinese martial arts worlds, Wu Tong thought.

He then released his soul skills, woke up from his sleep, and began to practice the Red Wheel Heart Sutra. As the power of the sun descended, the bottleneck that had troubled Wu Tong for many years was finally broken.

boom!
With a muffled sound coming from his body, Wu Tong successfully broke through the level 40 bottleneck and became a level 40 quasi-soul master.

"Breakthrough? That's perfect. I can get a spirit ring when I go to see Master Dugu tomorrow."

……the next day.

Wu Tong came to Dugu's house with his guards.

As soon as I entered the door, I heard an old voice. Although the voice was old, it was very loud and full of energy.

"Isn't this our master? Why are you interested in coming to my shabby place? Don't I always have to invite you in person?" The voice was full of sarcasm, and when it said "invite", there was a hint of resentment in it.

Wu Tong looked up and saw an old man who looked to be in his sixties or seventies standing at the door, looking at Wu Tong. Unlike other old men with gray or completely white hair and beard, all the hair on his body was dark green. He was very thin, with sunken cheeks and a pair of green gemstone-like eyes that glowed faintly. Being looked at by him always gave him the strange feeling of being stared at by a snake and regarded as prey.

A pair of hands were covered by a plain grey robe, and the breath from his body was faint, with a faint fishy smell. Facing this old man was like facing a snake.

This old man was none other than Wu Tong’s close friend, the Poison Douluo Dugu Bo.

"Old man, from your tone, it seems like you don't welcome me very much? Then the treatment method I researched for Sister Yanzi is no longer needed, right?"

Wu Tong didn't care about the complaint in the other person's tone and started to tease.

"No, no, no, I'm just kidding, don't mind it, little monster."

Dugu Bo heard this and immediately tried to persuade Wu Tong to stay. He also put his arm around Wu Tong's neck, acting like a good brother, afraid that this little monster would run away.

"Okay, let me go first. I don't have any solution for your situation for now. You need a lot of precious medicine, but Sister Yanzi can remedy it by consuming some of your potential. In this way, you won't die from poisoning."

Wu Tong felt the arm on his neck, shook his body uncomfortably and said.

Who knew that Dugu Bo looked puzzled after hearing this, and rolled his eyes at Wu Tong: "How did you guess that?"

"Ah? What are you talking about?" Wu Tong's eyes moved and he pretended to be ignorant.

"Little monster, don't I know you? If there is no definite solution, you will definitely not be so confident. Since you are here, you must have a way to treat me. What do you think I am talking about?" Dugu Bo did not tolerate him at all and directly exposed Wu Tong.

Wu Tong heard Dugu Bo's words and no longer concealed it: "The main reason is that the poison you were poisoned with is too strong. If there is no way to alleviate it, it is impossible for you to break through to Soul Douluo, let alone become a Titled Douluo. Since you have already broken through and have not been attacked by your own poison, it means that you, old man, must have a treasure land that can suppress the poison."

"There aren't many places that can suppress your poison. There are only three possible places. One is the Lake of Life, one is the Fountain of Purification, and the other is the Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire."

"The Lake of Life is located in the core area of ​​the Star Dou Great Forest and is occupied by the two Beast Kings. It is definitely not something you can get, so this one is ruled out."

“The Purification Spring can directly remove your poison, but you and Sister Yanzi have not yet removed the poison, so your words can be understood as you are unwilling to sacrifice your strength.

But it doesn't make sense that Sister Yanzi didn't have the detoxification. Given your love for Sister Yanzi, if you had the chance to help her get rid of this poison, you would definitely not hesitate. So this can also be ruled out."

"Then there is only one left, one of the three legendary treasure bowls, the Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire. It is the intersection of the Extreme Ice Spring and the Extreme Hot Spring. It is a masterpiece of nature. There are countless precious herbs growing around it, and toxins can be suppressed in this environment."

"What do you think? Old man, I guess I'm right." Looking at the stunned Dugu Bo in front of him, Wu Tong asked.

"Yes, I do have such a treasured land. It looks very similar to the Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire you described. It should be the Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire you mentioned. The treasured land can indeed suppress my poison. That's why I was able to cultivate to the Titled Douluo."

When Dugu Bo saw that Wu Tong had almost pulled his pants out, he admitted it right away.
