Chapter 3058 — The Third Tier of the Xuan Yuan Dragon-Taming Art
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
No wonder the meridian fortification took less time this round: it was purely a process of absorption, with no expulsion of toxins! After about four hours, the liquid in the basin had turned completely clear, and Wei Zhao clicked his tongue in amazement!
The burning sensation, too, grew fainter and fainter until at last it vanished without a trace. Wei Zhao climbed out of the water in comfort, feeling that his meridians had grown considerably thicker than before, able to circulate more vital essence and true qi in the same span of time.
"Phew..." Wei Zhao let out a long breath. This feeling was entirely different from before. He sensed that his cultivation realm had undergone another qualitative leap. It was likely that whether he was compressing true qi bombs or recovering vital essence and true qi, he would now be faster than before!
At that thought, Wei Zhao took out the copied silk scroll of the third-tier heart method of the Xuan Yuan Dragon-Taming Art and began carefully pondering it in silence.
"The Third Stage of the Xuan Yuan Dragon-Taming Art—Metamorphosis..." In truth, Wei Zhao had already studied the heart method of the third tier many times in silence before the meridian fortification, and knew it by heart long ago. He brought it out now only for fear of some mishap!
He had already suffered a qi deviation once before. This time, following the principle that caution never goes amiss, Wei Zhao recited the third-tier mnemonic once more, and only after confirming there was nothing wrong did he enter the jade pendant space and prepare to try circulating the third-tier mnemonic.
"Xiao Yi, your meridian fortification was quick this time!" Jiao Yazi was somewhat surprised at how swiftly Wei Zhao had completed it. Everything seemed to have gone smoothly!
"Elder Jiao, you weren't hoping I would run into some trouble again, were you?" Wei Zhao said, exasperated.
"Haha, how could I!" Jiao Yazi gave a dry laugh. "So you are preparing to attempt the heart method of the third tier of the Xuan Yuan Dragon-Taming Art?"
"Yes!" Wei Zhao nodded. "Since the meridian fortification is complete, it is time to try cultivating it! Time is pressing, and our enemies grow stronger by the day!"
"Heh, a sense of urgency is a good thing," Jiao Yazi said with a nod.
"By the way, Elder Jiao, what lies behind the fourth stone door?" Wei Zhao asked, curious.
"I do not know." Jiao Yazi shook his head flatly, then added: "And even if I did, I would not tell you. If you set your hopes on it and recklessly speed up your cultivation, haste would make waste. That is a principle you understand well enough."
"Fine." Wei Zhao was utterly helpless before Jiao Yazi. About certain things, until he himself reached that level, no amount of asking would get an answer—or rather, if Jiao Yazi's memories had not yet been unlocked, asking was as good as asking nothing.
Calming his mind, Wei Zhao began to try circulating the third tier of the Xuan Yuan Dragon-Taming Art within his body!
