Linghe accelerated his flight and arrived at Ximen Villa at dawn. Gu Xuan planned to enter the village through the back door.

Before entering the village, Gu Xuan met Li Xing who was returning by boat.

After some experience, Gu Xuan had seen three mana realm monks, fought against two gang power realm monks and Iron Corpse, and his vision was different from before.

Seeing Li Xing again at this time, Gu Xuan didn't feel at all restrained.

Instructing Linghe to stop, Gu Xuanluo said generously: "After so much experience, I met Protector Li here. It's a blessing."

Wang Mang suddenly said: "This person is worth dating. Looking back on the two trials, apart from you, this person has gained the most. It shows that he has good luck."

The spirit boat stopped in the air. Li Xing looked at Gu Xuan and said in a loud voice: "Good boy, I haven't seen you for a few months, and your demeanor is completely different. It seems that you have gained a lot from your experience."

"I gained a little bit." Gu Xuan smiled and did not reveal anything, "Is Protector Li going out to return to the village?"

Li Xing nodded: "Most of the people in the villa are practicing hard in seclusion. I have saved up for a long time, and I also want to go into seclusion and hit the middle stage of the Gangli realm. Then I will go to the hunting ground to meet old friends. Seeing that your face is full of spring breeze, why don't you come and sit in my cave?"

"I have learned a lot from this experience, and I have to go back to seclusion as soon as possible." Gu Xuan paused slightly, "How about this, after I come out of seclusion, I will visit you again and have a drink with Protector Li."

"It's a deal."

Li Xing used his mind and the spirit boat flew out in the direction of Sanyangju.

The spirit crane slowly flew into the villa. Gu Xuan looked down from left to right. Except for the servants who were busy early, he didn't see a single disciple on the ground.

The back door of the villa was not far from Shuxiangyuan. The crane quickly flew over and stopped on the roof.

Gu Xuan jumped up and fell into the courtyard. He then took out his fusheng bag and put away the spirit crane.

This crane has a special bloodline, and Gu Xuan has no intention of releasing it back to Xiaoxi Island.

When the servants who were busy early in the morning saw Gu Xuan, they stopped what they were doing, looked happy, and bowed to greet him.

It can be seen that the smiles of several servants are sincere.

On weekdays, Gu Xuan treated his servants well, and except for that time when he dealt with the idiot, he had never looked down upon them.

"The young master is back!"

Just as Gu Xuan was about to speak out, Chu Ke, who was washing in the bathroom, rushed out of the door, jumping for joy all the way, raising his hands and shouting.

This girl hasn't changed at all. She may be too excited, and the water droplets on her forehead haven't even been wiped dry.

In contrast, Xun Dong, who was walking behind, had windy steps and was much calmer.

Gu Xuan secretly affirmed that after presiding over the affairs of the courtyard for several months, Xun Dong's ability to deal with matters seemed to have improved greatly.

With a smile on his face, Gu Xuan encouraged the servants with a few words, then winked at the two servants, and the three of them walked into the study.

His fingers swept across the table without leaving a trace and found it was spotless. Gu Xuan was even more satisfied with Xun Dong's work.

Gu Xuan sat down behind the desk, leaned back on the chair comfortably, and said with a smile: "We are not outsiders. What are you doing when you sit down and talk?"

As soon as Chu Kefang took his seat, he smiled brightly: "During the young master's training, I am worried about the young master's safety and look forward to it every day."

When Xun Dong heard this, he quickly exposed the truth: "You only care about counting money every day. When have you ever worried about the young master?"

"You're talking nonsense." Chu Ke retorted first, then looked at Gu Xuan weakly.

Gu Xuan smiled knowingly: "I feel relieved to let Chu Ke take care of the money."

Chu Ke couldn't help but feel elated. He immediately stared at Xun Dong and said proudly: "Young master's silver must be clearly counted, and not a penny should be missing."

Gu Xuandao: "Before I came back, I saw Xunxi, Pinming Pavilion Ruokaifeng

store, Chu Ke will go to Feiquan City to help, and he will still be responsible for managing the money."

Chu Ke said excitedly: "Okay, I like silver the most."

Seeing that Xun Dong was thoughtful, Gu Xuan said: "Xun Dong's duties are still the same. I am about to go into seclusion. Please work harder."

Xun Dong smiled and said: "Don't dare to slack off on small matters."

Gu Xuan asked: "Besides the news you sent to Xunxi, is there any other important news in the villa?"

Xun Dong said: "It's true. Just last month, I received a message from the owner of the village and it was related to the young master's retreat."

Gu Xuan's expression changed: "What does the village owner have to say?"

Xun Dong said: "The owner of the village has gone out for business and has not returned yet. I want you to tell the young master that no matter what the outcome of the retreat is, you must leave the retreat after two years."

Gu Xuan pondered: "I think the owner of the village is worried that I will miss the grand ceremony."

After exchanging a few words with the servant, Gu Xuan took out several jade bottles.

"You two should distribute these cultivation elixirs and strive to advance to the true power realm as soon as possible. If Chu Keru goes to Feiquan City, remember to bring some to Chu Lian."

The elixirs on the table were obtained from Ximenjie's storage bag. Those that Gu Xuan could not use himself were given to his servants for cultivation.

…

Several acquaintances were practicing hard, Gu Xuan did not disturb them, and went directly into the training room to retreat.

The reason why I chose the training room is because there is a lot of furniture in the bedroom and there is no room for the spirit crane.

Sitting cross-legged on the futon, Gu Xuan took out the fusheng bag. With his true strength, the spirit crane flew out of it and almost touched the roof.

"Xiaoqing, prepare to take the pill."

While talking, Gu Xuan took out a wooden box, pushed open the lid, and held it directly in front of Linghe without looking at it.

The spirit crane looked excited, stretched out its head quickly, picked up the boiling blood pill in its sharp beak, and swallowed it in one fell swoop.

"Xiao Qing, let's enter the Fusheng bag to practice. I hope you can successfully advance to the third level in two years."

Gu Xuan had high hopes for Linghe, and when he pressed his true power, a strong suction force came out from the mouth of the Fusheng bag.

The spirit crane made a clear cry, jumped on the spot, and got into the fusheng bag.

Gu Xuan did not practice immediately, but settled into concentration and adjusted his breath to recharge his energy.

After meditating for a full day and night, Gu Xuan was full of energy, and then he used his true power to attack the Chongmai acupoints.

Every time an acupoint is opened, a low-grade strength-nourishing pill will be swallowed to increase the true power reserve.

Every ten days, take a health pill to maintain physical vitality.

Retreat means to practice meditation all the time, without leaving the house or even moving the body.

Chongmai is the biggest difficulty in the early stage of the true power realm. As the true power increases, the impact on the acupoints becomes faster and faster.

Even so, it took two full months to clear the entire Chongmai.

Once this channel is opened, even if you can't see inside, you can really feel that your true power has increased significantly.

The Ancient Mysterious Horse did not stop, using its true power to continue charging into the acupuncture point.

The majestic true power was unstoppable, and he triumphed all the way. Within two months, he successively unblocked the Yang Wei meridians, Yin Wei meridians, Yin Qiu meridians and Yang Qiu meridians.

The belt pulse can not only coordinate other veins, but also maximize the potential of the physical body and accumulate more true power.

Because of this, in the early stages of cultivation in the True Power Realm, the arteries and veins will be cleared at the end.

It only took a month for Gu Xuan to unblock the entire belt veins and successfully advance to the middle stage of the true power realm.

At this time, his real power has more than doubled compared to before the retreat.

After dredging the eight extra meridians, only one Du meridian remains.

This pulse originates in the cell, travels in the spine, and ascends to the brain.

Gu Xuan persevered and used his true power to charge towards Du Vein, but his speed slowed down and he was no longer as powerful as before.

In the entire middle stage of the True Strength Realm, only one Du Vein needs to be unblocked, which shows how difficult it is to clear this meridion.

From Changqiang point to Dazhui point, it only took more than a month to break through, from Yamen point to Shangxing point, it took nearly four months, and Baihui point alone took one and a half months.

Every time an acupuncture point was cleared, Gu Xuan took a middle-grade strength-nourishing pill, which caused the real power to increase continuously.

The last few acupoints of the Du Channel are all located in the brain, and each acupoint is a difficult barrier.

Ordinary warriors cannot clear the Du Meridian, and most of it is stuck at acupoints in the brain, especially Baihui and Yintang acupoints.

The spiritual energy of heaven and earth attracted by the spiritual roots will penetrate into the body through Baihui point, which is very important.

The Yintang point is the gateway to the upper Dantian. Taoism calls it a "copper wall and an iron wall." Once this point is opened, the Upper Dantian can be developed.

Regardless of Ximen Shu's memory or Wang Mang's experience sharing, the difficulty of attacking Yintang point is twice as difficult as that of attacking Baihui point.

Gu Xuan estimated that it would take him three months, but when his true power rushed towards the Yintang point, it poured into the upper Dantian easily without any hindrance.

Wang Mang said: "Don't worry too much and continue practicing. Your Yintang point has already been broken open by external force."

Without the need to be driven by thoughts, the true power entering the upper Dantian actively pounces on the Yuanshen, mixing and rolling continuously.

Gu Xuan couldn't help but think of the past. Starting from his mother's birth, scenes reappeared in his mind.

This kind of memory reappeared. Gu Xuan had experienced it once in Gumu Cliff Cave, so he was calm.

With his cultivation at this time, he still couldn't see inside, but Gu Xuan could sense that the soul was covered in gray.

Gu Xuan couldn't sense the mysterious colorful light and Wang Mang's soul.

Developing the upper Dantian cannot increase the true power reserves, it can only imprint the true power into the mark of the soul and use it at will.
