Secular world: My destiny has no taboos

Chapter 141 140: The Four Beams and Eight Pillars of the Body Structure

Outside the Black Evil Valley, countless negative energy floats in the air like a veil, covering the sky and the sun.

Here, the time of day and night becomes blurred, and the rising sun in the east can only be seen as a faintly glowing ball.

Lin Beixuan held the knife, looked up, and roughly estimated the time.

"First, we will sweep the periphery, and then slowly enter the valley. The purpose of coming here is not only to level up, but also to get the Starry Sky Meteorite..."

The infant spirit followed Lin Beixuan closely, holding a gathering evil bead that contained faint evil energy in its arms, with an expression that showed either excitement or sadness.

It had been following Lin Beixuan for some time and knew that the other party was very brave. Even if he was alone, he dared to face dozens or even hundreds of zombies without any scruples.

It's really rare that such a person has not died until now.

The baby spirit had a lot of doubts in its little head, and the few strands of hair on its head were combed into a middle part by the cold wind.

"what!!!"

It suddenly let out a loud cry, as if to cheer itself up.

"very good!"

Lin Beixuan grinned, raised his knife and chopped at the disheveled ghost closest to him.

These ghosts seemed to be somewhat afraid of him, but in fact they were constantly testing his tolerance and getting closer and closer.

This was the case with the disheveled ghost whose head he chopped off with a knife. The pair of ferocious hands were only half a meter away, and it was hard to tell when they would attack.

[You killed the disheveled ghost - Zhang Yun, successfully saved him, and obtained 30-year-old coins. ]

This Black Evil Valley is filled with soldier souls who were killed in pits, but not all of them are very powerful. This disheveled ghost was just a porter captured by the army when he was alive, responsible for helping to transport military supplies.

Now Lin Beixuan chopped off its head with one knife, which could be considered as a successful salvation of its soul, so that it would not continue to suffer in the valley.

[You swallowed the foul air of the disheveled ghost, strength +0.5]

"It seems that this unkempt ghost is on the same level as the zombies."

Lin Beixuan swung his knife in a few movements. As he used the knife more and more times, he was able to do a few tricks without hurting himself.

When he was in Anle County, he had heard that there was a sect in the secular world that specialized in using swords, called Tiandao. They were famous for their sword skills. They could swing the sword with only three-tenths of their strength, but with the domineering power of seven-tenths of their strength. It was the favorite sect of many knights and warriors.

Lin Beixuan felt that he also needed to learn a similar knife technique, not for the various strange techniques contained in it, but for the purpose of cutting with less effort.

After wandering around the Black Evil Valley for a while, he found that there were indeed many evil spirits in here, just as Taoist Goupi and Tao Tao had said, and they seemed to be endless.

The Qi-eating Technique swallows the turbid air, and all qualities of Lin Beixuan's body are rapidly improving, among which the main ones are strength, critical strike, power storage, and breaking evil.

It was as if he was working on his proficiency, and every time he killed one, it provided him with a little growth attribute.

After a period of time, Lin Beixuan discovered that the eighth column of energy had finally begun to condense in his body. The column of energy in the acupoints was like the skeleton of a huge building, supporting the slowly lighting seed of Lin Beixuan's Tianmen.

At this moment, his strength surged again like never before. Originally, one column of energy represented the peak strength of an adult man.

But when the eight pillars of energy stood upright in the acupoints like a main beam, the energy in his body seemed to have a source and was no longer like duckweed without a foothold.

The unit of measurement is no longer based on the strength of an adult man, because he has already gone far beyond the range of normal human strength.

Have you ever seen a ghost being killed by a single blow?
Lin Beixuan looked at the ghosts in front of him that were blown to pieces by his sword. There was no joy on his face. Instead, he frowned and stopped where he was.

"You haven't even met the conditions to open a government yet?"

He originally thought that after condensing the eight pillars of Qi within his acupoints, he could begin to knock on the closed door between his eyebrows.

However, it seems that there is still some gap at the moment.

Indeed, there was a faint light between the eyebrows, and even a closed mansion door could be vaguely seen.

This palace gate was far larger than any other palace gate he had seen in this period of time, including the palace of the Soul-Binding God.

His mansion occupies an area that stretches as far as the eye can see. The towering walls extend into the unclear sea of consciousness and the mist, so it is unknown how wide it is.

Just as Lin Beixuan was deep in thought, the Jingguitang worn on his waist suddenly emitted bursts of evil spirits, black smoke curled around, and the illusory face of Li Tianqing appeared.

He first looked back and forth at the edge of the Black Evil Valley, and the ghostly creatures without much reason wrapped in the gloomy wind.

“This place is great!”

Li Tianqing took a deep breath and swallowed the surrounding yin energy into his mouth, including the headless evil spirit that was hiding in the gloomy wind and wanted to take the opportunity to sneak attack Lin Beixuan.

Lin Beixuan's thoughts were interrupted, and he looked at Li Tianqing who had appeared inexplicably: "Can the Yin energy in this place help you recover your strength?"

"Well... it can recover a little bit, but the best thing is your pure blood and energy." Li Tianqing laughed, not seeming to worry at all about offending others with his words.

"No wonder every time I use the Ghost Hall, the calamity from it invades my body and takes away my vitality. It turns out that you are the one plundering me."

"I am not plundering you. It is just the price of using the Ghost Hall. Even if I am not inside, these evil spirits will continue to destroy the vitality in your body."

Li Tianqing smiled and said, "But this little bit of life should not be a big deal to you."

Li Tianqing looked at Lin Beixuan. Even he couldn't help but look sideways at the huge energy and blood power in his body.

Just relying on his energy and blood, ordinary evil spirits would probably have to cover their burning hands if they approached.

"You seem to be worried about how to open a government?" Perhaps because he was too lenient with others, Li Tianqing saw Lin Beixuan's current predicament.

"Ah."

Lin Beixuan nodded. The way he set up his business was different from others. It could be said that he was completely exploring his own path.

For ordinary people, when it comes to fortune-telling, they only need one qi to build the gate of their mansion. But for him, eight pillars of qi are not enough.

Judging from the previous conversation between Li Tianqing and the Soul-Binding God, the other party should have been a secular god and certainly didn't know as much as he did, so Lin Beixuan told him about the problems he had encountered.

"Huh? You mean to say that you took the path of fortune-telling, but now you have condensed the Eight Pillars of Qi, but you still can't reach the threshold of opening a government office?" An expression of obvious shock appeared on Li Tianqing's illusory face.

"Do you know who starts the fortune-telling process first?"

Li Tianqing said to himself, "The first generation of fortune tellers was a disciple from the Quanzhen lineage of Taoism. His name was Zhang Sanfeng. He practiced martial arts by eating qi and cultivating both the body and soul."

"After that, fortune-telling became widely known, and many people in the martial arts world began to study it. However, what they practiced was combined with their own techniques, so it was different from the first generation of fortune-tellers."

"After being passed down for so long, there are many different ways of fortune-telling, and each family has its own interpretation. Even the corpse carriers of the Lao Yin Sect and the Gu Breeders of the Nanjiang Mountains... can all forge their own paths based on this."

"Although they have walked their own paths, there is one thing they cannot avoid when they set up their own government, and that is anger."

"It is rumored that when Master Zhang opened his palace, there were nine kinds of Qi in his body, which combined into the path of the Nine Nines Returning to One and Embracing the Pill."

When he said this, Li Tianqing glanced at Lin Beixuan. "You now have the Eight Pillars of Qi in your body. Could it be that you accidentally embarked on the path of Master Zhang's sect?"

Lin Beixuan thought about it, but finally shook his head and denied it: "No, I can feel that it is no longer possible to generate another column of Qi in the acupoint. Eight columns is already the limit."

"Eight pillars..."

Li Tianqing pondered for a moment, and suddenly a flash of inspiration came to his mind. He couldn't help but blurt out: "How strange, it seems like you are repairing a house."

"Build a house!" Lin Beixuan lowered his head and thought. Aren't the eight pillars of energy in the acupoints in his body just like the pillars that support the construction of a house?

The ancient traditional buildings of Xuan Kingdom are all based on four beams and eight pillars as the main structure. The foundation is built and then extended with bricks and tiles.

"Four beams and eight pillars. If you don't have a direction now, you might as well build four more horizontal beams on top of these eight pillars."

Li Tianqing smiled and sighed: "If you succeed, you will have opened up another way to ask about fate, and you can establish a sect in the martial arts world."

The blueprint drawn by Li Tianqing was very good, but Lin Beixuan knew that his method could only be applied to himself.

Not everyone has a panel that can continuously stack attributes and strengthen various aspects of physical abilities.

Until now, he had never seen anyone who could grow to his current physical strength with an ordinary person's body without relying on food or talent.

"I haven't thought about establishing a sect. That's not suitable for me." Lin Beixuan said calmly.

"If I build four beams and eight pillars inside my body, what will the palace look like?"

Li Tianqing thought for a moment and said, "In our era, the establishment of a government office was also divided into different grades."

"A simple thatched cottage can be a mansion, a small house can be a mansion, an ordinary family can be a mansion, and a mansion of a noble family can also be a mansion. However, a mansion is a symbol of status and is related to the gods that will be invited in the future."

Li Tianqing stared at Lin Beixuan: "Your Kaizhi Mansion may be different from these cities and can achieve true majesty."

"I understand."

Lin Beixuan felt the air column in his body vibrating, and he finally knew how to take the last missing step.

Construct four beams.

Lin Beixuan raised his knife and walked towards the evil ghosts in the Black Evil Valley again.

The infant spirit was unable to catch up for a while, and while holding the Evil Gathering Pearl, it looked at its master's back, then raised its head to look at the illusory face of Li Tianqing.

"what?"

"Little guy, don't just stand there, hurry up and follow them, or you won't even be able to see their backs."

Li Tianqing seemed to be lost in some memories. The big hand transformed from black smoke touched the infant spirit's forehead. In an instant, streams of information poured into the infant spirit's mind, and together they constructed a method of secular gods.

'Practicing impermanence'

"Use the Yin soul as Yang, transform the Yang soul into Yin, lead the dead souls to be merciful, and cultivate the fruit of the impermanence position..."

"I give this practice to you. I hope you can practice well and do more good deeds in the future." Li Tianqing looked at the ignorant eyes of the infant spirit and couldn't help but chuckle again: "I almost forgot that your master is him. Practice well!"

After he finished speaking, Li Tianqing disappeared into the air.

The infant spirit widened its eyes, scratched its forehead with its hand, and ran in the direction where Lin Beixuan left with its legs moving quickly.

When it ran halfway, it looked back at the place where Li Tianqing disappeared. Its eyes seemed to have turned into one white eye and one black eye in a trance.

……

[Your subordinate: Infant Spirit - Li Ping'an's fate is affected by unknown forces and undergoes unknown changes. ]

[The fate - Black Feast (blue) is affected by an unknown force and changes to the fate - Changshi Yincha. ]

[Changshi Yincha (Purple): Use the Yin soul to train the Yang soul, and you will become a ghost fairy. With the left eye, you will make money, with the right eye, the world will be peaceful. You will save the world and understand the impermanence of life and death.]

[Note: Your subordinate: Infant Spirit - Li Ping'an's fate has undergone unknown changes. He will be permanently appointed as the master of the shrine of the God of Life and Death, enjoying the benefits of capturing souls, communicating with the underworld, rewarding the good, punishing the evil, eliminating evil, and being a ghost messenger...]

[Note: You carry the Soul-Catching Chain on your body, which can be used as material when the Infant Spirit opens its palace, and added to the opponent's path - Soul-Catching. ]

"???"

Lin Beixuan suddenly turned around and looked behind him.

What happened?
In just the blink of an eye, his son Li Ping'an's fate was upgraded directly to a rare purple fate.

Changshi Yincha... This is the rhythm of becoming the Black and White Impermanence.

Just as he was wondering, Lin Beixuan saw the baby spirit running towards him happily. When it saw him, its eyes lit up and it was so happy that its nose was running.

This……

It somewhat destroyed the good impression he had of the two uncles.

The infant spirit ran to Lin Beixuan, jumped onto a familiar shoulder, and sat down obediently.

Lin Beixuan looked at the baby spirit that was smiling at him with sharp teeth showing, and felt a little unhappy in his heart.

It turns out that he hasn't even started his own residence yet, but he has to consider preparing for the infant spirit to set up his own residence in the future.

The Soul-Catching Chains hadn't even gotten warm yet, but it was suggested that they be included in the subsequent ways for the Infant Spirit to establish a residence.

I really raised a son.
Lin Beixuan let out a long sigh, and vaguely guessed that the change in the infant spirit's fate was probably due to Li Tianqing.

"He has sucked my blood for so long, so let this be his reward."

After rubbing the baby's hair, Lin Beixuan strode into the Black Evil Valley.

He searched for the Starry Sky Meteorite outside the valley for a long time, but unfortunately he did not find it. However, he did kill a lot of sword and weapon ghosts.

The turbid energy of these weapon ghosts is more dense than that of the disheveled ghosts. The eight pillars of energy in his body have become stable. According to the method he had conceived, Lin Beixuan began to construct four beams.

As the eight pillars of qi in the acupoints gradually filled up, the remaining qi slowly spread to other parts of Lin Beixuan's body, taking the four major acupoints of Tiantu, Xuanji, Shenzang and Youmen as the foundation, connecting the meridians and building four beams horizontally.

Just as he went deeper into the Black Evil Valley, intending to hunt down stronger ghosts, he suddenly saw groups of dark and thick yin energy rising into the sky not far away. Soon, they blocked out the morning sun, and the Black Evil Valley once again fell into a deep night where no one could recognize anything.

Immediately afterwards, violent shouts and cries of killing were heard, the ground began to shake, war drums beat, countless war horses formed by yin energy poked their heads out, and green ghost fires rose up.

Two armies composed entirely of ghosts appeared on the left and right sides of Lin Beixuan respectively, and the might of the overwhelming military formation swept across like a tide.

There seemed to be sand blowing in the wind, and Lin Beixuan could not help blinking his eyes. Finally, he raised his head and saw a scene that he would never forget in his life.
