With the power of AI, you become a giant in the magic world!

First, the silver.

There were three ingots of five taels of silver in the bag, as well as some silver coins and ten-cent coins.

Apart from dry food and water bags, there were a few small medicine bottles and two books.

One was called "The Art of Violence".

The other thin booklet was called "Blood Demon Art - Opening the Acupoints".

"Blood Demon Art... is actually a secret book of profound arts, and there are also methods for absorbing and applying profound forces!" Gu Xia read a few pages and was immediately delighted.

The book recorded the method of gathering qi with thoughts. If you practice the throat, you can gather qi with just one thought, and you don't need to train your muscles and bones or swallow the essence of the sun and the moon every day. The speed of gathering qi is about 150% of that of training your muscles and bones.

"It's a pity that it's another fragment..."

Turning a few more pages, Gu Xia was a little disappointed. The secret book did not have the most important acupoint map, but it clearly recorded that there were 108 basic acupoint maps supporting the Blood Demon Art.

In fact, the first step of any profound art is almost the same, opening up acupoints and strengthening the skin and flesh. Without the acupoint map, it cannot be called a mysterious skill.

"People are greedy and want more than a snake to swallow an elephant. It is good enough to have a method of gathering mysterious energy."

He shook his head and turned a few pages. He saw the content that made him gasp.

In addition to the usual methods of strengthening muscles and bones, breathing in and out, and gathering energy with thoughts, there is another way to quickly practice the magic skill.

That is to devour the essence and blood of living people. The stronger the man, the more mysterious energy his blood contains.

"No wonder it is called a magic skill!"

Gu Xia realized that Wang Lun was not after money, but wanted to use his own blood to practice this magic skill.

He put down the magic skill secret book and opened the "Violent Qi Jue" to read a few pages.

It was Wang Lun's secret technique of transformation. It was not an ordinary external martial art. It was a book of mysterious energy martial arts. It required the mobilization of mysterious energy to stimulate the acupoints to unleash potential.

Generally, it can burst out three to five times the power in an instant, but it is very harmful to the body. The most important thing is that it also hurts the acupoints. If you are not careful, you will damage your mysterious energy talent and turn from a genius into a mortal.

The disadvantages are obvious. The casting process is too long, with a stiffness of about ten seconds, and the longest duration is less than half a cup of tea. You have to hold your breath during the whole process, otherwise it is easy to be caught and break the method.

"Anyway, it is a life-saving method." Gu Xia prepared to practice it later.

The remaining bottles and jars are all common medicines, including gold wound medicine, traumatic water, knockout medicine, snake venom ointment, anthelmintic pills...

There is even a bottle of aphrodisiac powder that the flower thief likes to use.

"I don't need this thing." Gu Xia threw it away.

Finally, he packed up everything and took another look at Wang Lun, who died with his eggs broken and his eyes wide open.

"Brother Wang, this is my first time walking in the world, and I am not familiar with many things. Thank you for your novice gift package."

...

The sun was at noon.

Gu Xia came to an inn to rest. He was not in a hurry to eat, and asked for a room first.

After entering, he couldn't wait to take out the magic secret book and learn the method of controlling the mysterious energy in it.

"Calm your mind and enter the realm of Taixuan..."

Gu Xia could vaguely understand the secrets in the secret book.

It was basically to meditate quietly, slowly regulate the rhythm of the human body, achieve the effect of forgetting both the self and the world, and then resonate with the mysterious power with a certain breathing frequency and heartbeat.

But Gu Xia couldn't calm down after trying a few times, and became more and more irritated.

"I can only rely on you, Xingchen."

Gu Xia's super AI was installed in his brain, which was equivalent to another purely rational personality. It not only had powerful computing power, but also could control every organ, tissue, and even individual cell in his body through the brain.

Gu Xia input the Xuanqi method in the magic skill into Xingchen, which was actually just reading it again.

After receiving the command, Xingchen used 80% of the computing power and began to adjust the neurons in his brain to reduce the activity of thinking, but did not let him fall asleep.

Soon Gu Xia calmed down, his brain gradually emptied, and he no longer thought about worldly affairs.

A few minutes later, Gu Xia closed his eyes and seemed to hear his own heartbeat and the sound of his blood flowing in his veins. His breathing rate gradually slowed down and became long.

In response to his heartbeat, he could feel the pulsation of various parts of his body.

After an unknown period of time, he seemed to be able to see something, although it was still dark in front of him.

"Is this the realm of inner vision?"

Gu Xia used his consciousness to see himself sitting cross-legged in the boundless dark universe, with countless tiny light spots floating around.

He also saw several acupoints opened in his body, including the Tinggong acupoints on his temples, the Xiaohai acupoints on his arms, and the Yongquan acupoints on the soles of his feet, which were like stars.

There was also a huge dark hole with wisps of nebula-like clouds floating inside.

This was the mysterious energy that Gu Xia had obtained from tempering his muscles and bones in his dantian before.

The method recorded in the magic skills was to absorb these mysterious forces scattered between heaven and earth with thoughts and replenish them into the dantian hole.

Gu Xia tried it, and sure enough, his thoughts directly formed a big hand to grab a particle of Xuanli and return it to his Dantian.

But his thoughts could only reach less than one centimeter away from his body, and the efficiency was too low. In such a short time, there were four or five Xuanli particles that naturally drifted into his Dantian.

Gu Xia followed the method of the Heart Sutra and extended his thoughts into his Dantian to stir it.

Soon, the Xuanli particles in the Dantian began to rotate, gradually forming a vortex of Xuanli. Some smaller Xuanli particles within one meter around Gu Xia's body were affected by the vortex and began to rotate and be sucked into the Dantian.

After a long time, Gu Xia woke up from that mysterious state.

He found that he had established a connection with the acupoints and Dantian in his body, and could control the Xuanqi in the Dantian and acupoints at will, just like using his arms and fingers.

After that, Gu Xia could meditate and practice to absorb the mysterious power every day, and no longer needed to work hard to strengthen his muscles and bones and breathe in and out every day.

However, thinking about how he spent half a day to finally rely on AI to successfully enter into a state of concentration and calm his mind, he couldn't help but sigh: "This mysterious skill is not something that people with impatient minds can practice."

Gu Xia, who was a wild man, had no idea that his entry into the Taixuan realm just now was actually one of the important initial steps in practicing the mysterious skill, called Tongxuan.

The juniors of each sect must bathe and change clothes before Tongxuan, and then light Tongxuan incense made of precious medicines, slowly enter into a state of concentration, and try ten or even dozens of times before they can succeed, and failure is very normal.

There are even some Xuanqi practitioners who have never been able to pass the Xuan, so that after the acupoints are opened up enough, the body cannot break through to the next realm, and they are trapped in the Kaiqiao realm for life.

It can be said that Tongxuan is the first bottleneck of Xuanqi practitioners.

"Uh, I'm so hungry!" Gu Xia suddenly felt extremely hungry in his stomach. He only meditated for an incense stick, but he felt like he had been hungry for three days.

"Oops, too much computing power is used, and too many tissues are manipulated."

The advantages of Gu Xia's Star AI are strong computing power and can finely manipulate cells. The disadvantages are also these two. The more computing power is used, the more energy the brain consumes.

Fine manipulation means using a large number of instructions. Gu Xia himself only needs one thought to manipulate a muscle, while AI needs to control all the muscle fibers and neurons in the entire muscle one by one.

The advantage is to achieve abnormal micro-manipulation, and the disadvantage is abnormal energy consumption.

It was okay to manipulate Xuanli before, after all, the Xuanli itself is very small, and the cells that need to be regulated are less than one hundred thousandth.

And Tongxuan calls more than one thousandth of Gu Xia's body cells.

Speaking of which, his previous thin body was somewhat related to the energy consumption of AI.

Gu Xia hurried to the hall and ordered a bowl of rice, a roast chicken, a roast duck and several side dishes.

In the surprised eyes of the other guests, the man ate a table of food clean.

…

Half a month later.

Gu Xia arrived at his destination, Xianfu City, which is one of the ten cities in the northern prefecture of Yunzhou.

It is said that an immortal came here, so it got its name.

But now it has a more famous name, that is, the location of Tianxuanmen of Xuanwu Sect.

Walk into the heavy vermilion city gate that is more than ten meters high, and pass through the stone city wall that is more than twenty feet high.

A prosperous scene appeared in front of Gu Xia, with red walls and green tiles on the streets, and pedestrians bustling and bustling, and various hawking sounds one after another.

It can be said that the colorful world is fascinating, which opened the eyes of Gu Xia, a countryman.

But after all, he is a scholar, and he still has some Confucian style.

Gu Xia quickly collected his mind and no longer paid attention to this tempting new world. There was only one thought in his mind, that is, to become stronger.

"I came here just to become stronger! Only with profound skills can I transcend myself! Not be controlled by others! I hope I...will not repeat the mistakes of my past lives in this life!"

The man's mind was filled with various images. Although they were all past events and people he would never meet again, he still couldn't let them go for a long time.

Finally, he sighed indifferently and silently strengthened his heart to become stronger.
