Today's monks' practice methods focus on the soul, so after exploring the way to concentrate the soul, the afterbirth of the soul has always been regarded as the top priority.
By taking all kinds of miraculous elixirs, heavenly materials and earthly treasures, combined with the purest spiritual power delivered to the divine palace through hundreds of veins throughout the body, each layer of the soul's afterbirth means that the monk is moving towards the "immortal" he dreams of. The way goes further.
However, the Yuan Hua Realm is also called the "Self-Trapped" Realm, precisely because although the more Yuan Shen's afterbirth is condensed, the potential will be greater in the future, but in contrast, the difficulty of breaking through is increasing day by day.
This is the reason why monks who lack self-confidence or have limited abilities choose to rush to try to break through at the sixth level of the Yuan Hua Realm, or even earlier.
As for sacrificing one's future in exchange for an improvement in one's realm or an increase in longevity, no one can say for sure whether this deal is worth it or not.
The young master doesn’t know how he escaped from the confusing sound of Long Fu’s poem that day. It is estimated that it was because Xiao Qi woke up for a moment. But if he wants Xiao Qi to fully and truly awaken and become himself, or It is a new independent soul. Qingyun does not know how many heavenly materials and earthly treasures are needed to create it.
During the healing period, he also took the time to open a furnace with the Miaoyin furnace and refined some elixirs to improve his cultivation and nourish his soul, but after taking them, the effect was indeed lacking.
Qingyun understood that this was not because the elixirs were ineffective, but as Lao Shitou said, his "water tank" was too big. If he wanted to fill it with ordinary elixirs, it would probably be an astronomical figure.
"It seems that I really need to go to Zhijing Cave. Yan Lao should have a lot of more exquisite elixirs. I can't afford the elixirs and I have to make them myself. Hey, when will I get rid of this poor life!"
Qingyun sighed bitterly as he erased the engravings representing sunrise and sunset on the stone wall.
Things like realm cannot be rushed, but for now, he has a more intuitive and clear understanding of his shortcomings.
"Jiang is still old and spicy. What Old Shitou said is indeed true. The power of Luo Yun's sword light is limited, and the ancient sword art of Zhutian Fantasy Sword consumes too much and is beyond its power. If it cannot kill the enemy directly, I’m afraid there will be endless troubles.”
Looking at the performance of everyone in the Long family that day, Qingyun guessed that they might not know the subtleties of this ancient sword technique, only knowing its great power. But if someone really discovered the clue one day, then he would probably have to be on guard every day. Have a good time.
In fact, tracing back to the root cause, all kinds of entanglements are caused by Qingyun's background as a casual cultivator and his lack of a Taoist tradition that can sustain his practice. This is also the biggest problem plaguing many casual cultivators in the world.
From the confrontation with Li Feng of Qingshui Town, to the encounter with Lao Shitou, to the killing of Long Yanzhi, fundamentally speaking, what Qingyun relies on is just self-inflicted attacks with abnormal recovery ability, and The phantom sword of the heavens.
But leaving aside the fantasy swords of the heavens, starting from the Yuan Hua realm, the shortcomings of the monk's physical body will gradually be made up for by the power of the Yuan Shen. The rules for the "spirit" to control the "flesh" will gradually take shape, and the spiritual power will break the body and The transformation of spiritual power into form is the most intuitive expression.
The power of his own body is powerful, but Long Yanzhi should not be underestimated either. There is such an outstanding body-refining monk in Baizhen City at the foot of the mountain. Who knows if there is someone more powerful than him in other places? What about existence?
"If you really can't find any profound Xuan Gong techniques, you might as well get this body-tempering technique. It's much cheaper."
The young man twitched the corners of his lips and chuckled secretly.
Of course, there was no need to worry since Long Yanzhi had been chopped into several pieces by him. What he was afraid of was still the people of the Long family.
"Long Qingdi abducted Hebai for some unknown reason, I broke Long Hanjian's sword, Long Fushi was even injured by Xiaoqi, and almost died under Zangfeng, plus Long Yanzhi was already dead. The feud between the Long family is really quite big."
Thinking of this, Qingyun couldn't help but subconsciously hold his chest, and the sword that pierced his chest seemed to still have a faint chill.
"The cold energy on this man's sword is extremely pure. If I hadn't been protected by the immortal true spirit, it would have taken at least a month to remove it. It's interesting that so many outstanding people can emerge from the Xiaolong family."
Thinking of Long Yanzhi's cigarette cage and jade bag, Qingyun already had a bold guess in his mind.
"Made, Chang Linbai agreed to ask me about Lingyu. Now Baizhen City is a dragon's pool and a tiger's den, and I have to break into it!"
After breaking the last beautiful image in his mind that he really didn't want to remember, the young master calmed down and flicked his sleeves and left gracefully.
The sky was clear, the wind was gentle, and his injuries were healed. Qingyun's mood suddenly improved. After a while along the official road, he saw the huge tower of Baizhen City from a distance.
Perhaps it was a blind cat and a dead mouse. With the help of the dark strategy, no one noticed any clues about him along the way. However, with his harmless young face, he easily found out from the passers-by. some useful news.
"Baizhen City has four gates, and Long Chang controls two gates to restrain each other. It's really rare for the city to be divided."
Smiling and cupping his fists, he thanked a passerby, Qingyun was secretly speechless.
Although Liangzhou is entirely under the jurisdiction of Qingxu Tian, the situation in various parts of Jiuzhou is generally similar, that is, it is impossible for the three three factions and the two major demon sects to completely control their territories.
After all, it is difficult for a giant geese to fly within a state, not to mention ordinary people, even monks would take ten or eight years to make a complete circle. Therefore, Qingxu Tian must also rely on the large and small sects that have surrendered to Liangzhou to manage Liangzhou.
Even if you don't submit to Qingxutian's jurisdiction, then the younger brother relies on the elder brother, and the older brother relies on the boss. Everyone has to find a backer, right?
But from the words of Long Qingdi that day and Chang Linbai later, it was learned that the two families did not seem to have any courtiers from any nearby first- or second-rate sects, and that the Chang family owned the spiritual mines and the Long family had a monopoly on spiritual materials.
No other sect wanted to get involved in these two extremely wealthy industries, and the Long family and the Chang family were even allowed to divide this small Baizhen City equally.
The vortex behind it is worth pondering!
"Perhaps it's not that I don't want to, but that I have already said goodbye to Kyushu."
Qingyun slightly raised the corners of his mouth, his eyes shining brightly.
Of course, this has nothing to do with him. The young man came here for only one purpose, and that was to get the news about the spirit jade from Chang Linbai. If not, then he would have to pry off a piece that makes sense, otherwise the smoke cage jade Didn’t he give it to me for nothing?
The pipeline he was traveling on was noisy with carriages and horses, and there were many huge strange beasts. However, there was no scent of medicine coming from the trucks covered with thick cloth, so the young master concluded that this door must be under the jurisdiction of the Chang family.
"Just go in through the Chang family's door. The Long family might have my portrait posted on it, waiting for me to fall into the trap!"
The young master lowered his head and thought angrily.
Qingyun's Qi-condensing technique was very profound. As he approached the city gate, the monks guarding the city didn't even check him as a young monk in the Hundred Meridians Realm. However, when they saw the identity jade token he handed over, they were stunned for a moment and then surprised. cried:
"Tao...fellow Taoist is...a disciple of Haiyou Sword Sect?"
"Uh...yes..."
After the man called out the words "Hai You Sword Sect", the other monks guarding the city turned their heads and looked at him, which made the young master feel a thump in his heart.
"Is there any flaw?"
In desperation, Qingyun had no choice but to slowly release his cultivation. A powerful aura filled the area near the city gate, and everyone subconsciously clenched the weapons in their hands.
"Hug...I'm sorry...Senior, this junior is blind."
The man first signaled the monks to put away their weapons, and then respectfully handed the identity jade token back to Qingyun, saying apologetically.
"It doesn't matter, I am indeed an outer disciple of the Haiyou Sword Sect. I just condensed the soul's afterbirth not long ago, so you don't need to be polite."
After taking the jade token, Qingyun quickly dragged the man up and stood aside. He didn't want to attract too much attention. After all, half of Baizhen City was also the territory of the Long family.
"I see."
Qingyun could feel very intuitively that although this person's attitude was still respectful, it had lost the previous closeness, which was very strange.
But what a smart man I am, I rolled my eyes and guessed the reason, and said with a smile:
"Brother, look at me, I don't look like a blood-stained generation from there! But of course I have heard of Chang Linfeng's name, and I admire him very much!"
As soon as Qingyun finished speaking, the face of the monk guarding the city once again put on a smile, which clearly shows the status of Chang Linfeng in the hearts of the young monks of the Chang family.
"No, it should be said that Bai Zhi holds a prominent position in the hearts of young monks in Kyushu today."
The young master felt relieved.
"Senior, welcome to Baizhen City as a guest. Although Mr. Lin Feng has left the Chang family, he will always be the pride of our Chang family. If you return to the sect in the future, please convey your respect to us!"
Qingyun was speechless and lifted the man up again and said:
"For the first time in this precious land, the name of Haiyou Sword Sect is too ostentatious. Please don't make any noise, brother. Thank you very much."
Immediately, he quietly stuffed two low-grade spiritual stones into this person's hands.
The city guarding monk was considered a seasoned man. He raised his hands and clasped his fists without any trace, and let Qingyun go easily with a satisfied smile on his face.
The young man's heart has always been as clear as water and as clear as a mirror, but this time he doesn't know whether to thank Bai Zhizheng or to cut off the flesh and take out the few spiritual stones.
"Bai Zhizheng, Bai Zhizheng, the higher you hold me, the harder I will fall. I hope your old body and bones can withstand it by then."
The more he thought about Master Bai's success, the more unhappy he became.
It's not that he hasn't thought about Bai Zhizheng's so-called "success and fame". It's possible that someone deliberately exaggerated what happened in the Thirty-three Realms. Various factions are vying to invite the delicious food.
And poor Qingyun can only send his most "sincere" blessings across thousands of mountains and rivers.
"Damn, I'll just use the Qingxu Tian Jade Card from Qi Fei in the future. Why do I feel that the outer disciples of Haiyou Sword Sect are more flamboyant than the inner disciples of Qingxu Tian!"
The nook and cranny of Qianzhong City didn't feel like much at all, but when he came to Baizhen City, he really experienced the treatment of a "star". He was so angry that he almost threw the jade medal of Haiyou Sword Sect. .
