Chapter 321: Both Cultivation and Physical Body Breakthrough
Here we have to mention that Japan has an old tradition of the weak conquering the strong.
Because Yoshinobu Muto was a fanatical warmongerer who had always wanted to launch a full-scale invasion of China immediately.
Unfortunately, the Japanese high-ranking officials were worried that the logistics would be unstable if they tried to win a big battle with a small force, so they never agreed. Instead, they asked him to continue to stabilize the three northeastern provinces and wait for the right time to launch a full-scale invasion.
This made this warmongering maniac very angry, so he thought of using the Onmyoji to stir up trouble and get rid of the constraints of the Japanese upper echelons.
However, as far as Muto Yoshinobu knows, from the Nara period to the present, for some unknown reason, the abilities of Onmyoji have been declining with each generation.
Therefore, the status of the Onmyoji group in Japan today is very embarrassing.
On the one hand, they enjoy extremely high reputation among the people, but on the other hand, they have almost no say in the decision-making level. That's why Muto Yoshinobu wanted to use this incident to allow Onmyoji to once again step onto the stage of history.
Fortunately, the current situation is just right. He only needs an order to summon the local Onmyoji who has been in contact with him for a long time.
...
Speaking of Huizhi and Yingji, after leaving Northeast China, he immediately sneaked back to Guangdong by boat, and then began to investigate at all costs to find out what went wrong.
But for five consecutive days, he didn't make any substantial progress. He had no choice but to repeatedly check the people below and pass on the information.
After he watched it countless times, he finally discovered a problem, that is, these people who were arrested all had one characteristic.
That is, they are all connected to the previous batch of people arrested. After he discovered this, he immediately deduced that the enemy must have mastered some efficient interrogation method.
This is the only way to achieve the effect of catching one and implicate several.
After having this idea, he immediately began to review the files from the beginning, and finally he discovered the truth.
That means the enemy captured the empire's spies in Nanxi County, and then used some unknown method to pry open their mouths.
Then, following the clues, they captured a large number of spies and destroyed their contact points.
After figuring out the situation, Zhihe Yingji immediately ordered all the spies to leave the contact point immediately, hide themselves, and not contact their superiors or subordinates anymore.
The effect of his action was very obvious. Jiang Li's newly formed secret guards quickly lost their clues and could no longer obtain more information from the captured spies.
Fortunately, in the past few days, they have followed the clues and found more than 3,000 spies in the three provinces, including 314 Japanese pirates.
However, since Jiang Li was absorbing the inner elixir of the six-winged centipede during this period, he basically ignored what was happening outside and stayed in the house.
So these more than 3,000 spies are still being held in prison.
...
As for Jiang Li, he released the Guixu ancient tripod and sat down in front of it. Using its magical effect of condensing the qi sea, calming the mind and nourishing the soul, he began to absorb the energy in the inner elixir.
After several days, Jiang Li's cultivation had reached the ninth level of Earth Master, and he was only one step away from breaking through to the realm of Heaven Master.
He looked at the inner elixir in his hand, which had consumed 70% to 80% of its energy. He gritted his teeth, made up his mind, and swallowed the inner elixir in one gulp.
As the inner elixir entered his body, the originally warm inner elixir turned into a boiling hot stream, rushing straight into his abdomen along his throat.
The inner elixir entered his body and instantly turned into a violent and hot torrent of energy, rushing wildly through his body.
He clenched his teeth, veins bulging on his forehead. At this moment, the energy was like countless small hammers, crashing into his muscles and bones.
Every inch of his flesh and blood was suffering from unbearable pain, but he relied on his tenacious will to endure the pain and use his internal energy to guide the energy, circulating it through his tendons and veins.
As the energy of the inner elixir was continuously refined, his bones became tougher, and his already very strong muscles became even denser after being repeatedly tempered by this energy.
Under the impact of spiritual energy, the lines become smoother, giving people a natural rhythm. However, if someone is deceived by the beautiful appearance and ignores the enormous power it contains, they will suffer a great loss.
It was at this moment that his Xuanjia Gong, which had not made any progress for a long time, unexpectedly achieved great success.
Then Jiang Li's eyelids suddenly opened, and there seemed to be wisps of purple air surrounding his eyes. His gaze was as sharp as lightning, as if he could see through the essence of all things in the world. It was obvious that he had broken through the realm of Heavenly Master.
But beneath these sharp eyes, there seems to be a deep sense of fatigue.
But Jiang Li did not stop practicing, because the energy of the inner elixir had not been exhausted yet. He closed his eyes again, concentrated his mind and continued to circulate the Qi in his body, constantly consolidating his cultivation.
As the energy of the inner elixir was completely absorbed by Jiang Li, he stopped practicing and stood up.
At this time, his Xuanjia Gong had reached perfection, and his cultivation had even reached the level of Heavenly Master. Moreover, his cultivation was already very solid, and he was only 29 years old.
If Li Lin knew this news, he would probably be so envious that he would go to his grandmother's house.
He achieved the accomplishment when he was seventy years old, but Jiang Li accomplished it when he was less than thirty years old. How could he not be envious and jealous!
However, Jiang Li was not thinking about these things at the moment. Because he had been forced to train before, his muscles and bones were extremely painful at this time.
Not only that, he had been highly concentrated for a long time when absorbing the inner elixir energy just now, and he was now extremely exhausted.
Even so, a faint aura automatically emanated from around his body, adding an extraordinary aura.
But at the moment he didn't have the mind to think about these things. He just threw a quilt on the ground, then lay down on it. After a while, he fell into a deep sleep.
When he woke up again, he found himself lying in Ren Tingting's room, "Why am I here?"
He stood up and turned his head to look at the light outside. "It's already daybreak. Did someone carry me to Tingting's room because I slept too deeply at night?"
After getting up from the bed and stretching his body, Jiang Li felt refreshed and as if he had endless energy.
But at this moment, his stomach made an inopportune sound, followed by a strong feeling of hunger.
"I just slept for a night, why am I so hungry? Could it be that the six-winged centipede's inner elixir has the effect of strengthening the stomach and digesting food?"
After thinking for a while without any clue, he simply gave up thinking about it and went out to find something to eat.
But at this moment, he suddenly heard footsteps, but after waiting for more than ten seconds, no one came in, so he simply opened the door and went out.
