Under Zeng Bufan's strong invitation, Qing Duan and Chen moved to live with him, but they did not live in his hut, but across the small lake.
Jing'er took out three beautiful cabins out of thin air from her storage device and placed them on the grass beside the small lake. Qing Duan and Chen now have their own place to live.
They knew they might live on the island for a long time, but what they didn't expect was that their stay would last seven years.
In addition to Ah Kun's unwillingness to give up and prevent them from leaving, Qingshi and the others are also willing to stay on the island for a longer period of time, because although Zeng Bufan does not accept disciples, he is very willing to teach them. Zeng Bufan was also very happy to be able to inherit his martial arts achievements.
Although Zeng Bufan's current combat power is extremely low, his knowledge and realm are extremely high. No one in the current Tianlong Continent or even in all the sea areas that Qingshi and the others have traveled can compare with him.
Although he himself can no longer use the unpredictable martial arts, this does not prevent him from passing on these martial arts secrets, especially his experience and results of enlightenment, to Qing Duan and Chen.
Zeng Bufan passed on to Qingshi and Chen Tianye a self-created technique - the spirit-loving refining technique. This is a profound technique that simultaneously refines five kinds of heavenly materials and earthly treasures that contain the spiritual energy of the five elements, and turns the spiritual energy of the treasures into your own true energy, thereby quickly increasing the level of your true energy.
Qingshi and Chen Tianye have some Five Elements Chaos Fruits, as well as Holy Fire Fruit, Holy Water Marrow, Earth Spirit Crystal, Golden Spirit Crystal and Divine Tree Fruit. These are all Five Elements spiritual objects and can be used for spiritual refining. But with such treasures, they Too little.
But what they didn't expect was that such treasures in Zeng Bufan's place were as numerous and worthless as the pebbles on the river beach. The reason is that it turns out that such treasures are produced in large quantities in the Zhizhi Sea, especially on Fenghuang Island, where all five elements of spiritual objects can grow.
For example, Fenghuang Island harvests sacred fire fruits and sacred tree fruits once every ten years, and can harvest nearly a hundred fruits each season. Five hundred years ago, these fruits were in short supply and were sold to other countries at sky-high prices.
In the past five hundred years, no one on Fenghuang Island has been able to withstand the spiritual power of these fruits. Eating ordinary wild fruits can quench thirst and make you hungry, but eating these spiritual fruits will make you feel hungry. A person's bloodline explodes and dies, it is simply a poisonous thing. If you want to exchange it for money or other items, there is no way to take them out of Fenghuang Island. Therefore, these spiritual fruits are now useless.
Zeng Bufan didn't want the spiritual objects to be of no use, so he exchanged spiritual stones for these fruits from the islanders and stored them. One hundred low-grade spiritual stones could be exchanged for one spiritual fruit. Other five-element spiritual objects such as earth spiritual crystals, gold spiritual crystals, etc., mostly This is also the case.
Qingshi used the spirit-loving refining technique to improve his level of Qi. In just three years, he was promoted from the second level of the Golden Core Realm to the ninth level of perfection.
Chen Tianye also spent three years raising his zhenqi level from the fourth level of Jindan realm to the ninth level of perfection.
Although Duan Wutian is unable to practice the spiritual refining technique, simply taking these spiritual objects is of great benefit. Coupled with the effect of Shuiyuan Gong, his true energy level has been raised from the original sixth stage of the Golden Core Realm to the ninth stage. It took seven years.
Qing Duan and Chen's level improvement rate is more than ten times higher than the current normal level in Tianlong Continent, and the Five Elements Spiritual Items they used only consumed 30% of Zeng Bufan's reserves.
After reaching the ninth level of the Golden Elixir Realm, you need understanding and opportunities to break through to the Immortal Elixir Realm. Forcible accumulation will only cause a waste of spiritual materials. Therefore, after Qing Duan and Chen reached the ninth stage of the Golden Core, they adopted normal cultivation methods, mainly using spirit stones. Naturally, their need for the Five Elements spiritual objects was greatly reduced.
After seven years of hard training under Zeng Bufan's guidance, Qing Duan and Chen's martial arts cultivation have made huge leaps.
As the level of Qi increases, Duan Wutian's divine power increases exponentially. Zeng Bufan gave him a martial art, the "Creating Mountains and Reclamating the Sea" left behind by the mighty king Uulun Gutang who once dominated the sea. After Duan Wutian achieved success in practice, under the guidance of Zeng Bufan, he incorporated the family's Sun Spear martial arts into it, and then based on the characteristics of the weapon's sky-breaking ax and earth-defying shield, he refined the 19-style "Mountain and Sea Reclamation" into Thirteen postures 'breaking mountains and seas'. The highlight of this martial art is its power. It can destroy everything with absolute power and is invincible.
Zeng Bufan achieved all the five elements of true qi more than a thousand years ago. His research and application of the five elements of true qi are naturally much better than Qingshi and Chen Tianye. Therefore, Qingshi and Chen Tianye benefited from the use of true qi. A lot.
Chen Tianye's Qi level and application methods improve quickly, and his swordsmanship improves even faster. For Chen Tianye, meeting Zeng Bufan was a great opportunity. Zeng Bufan was also from the Immortal Sword Sect, so the swordsmanship of Qingshi and Chen Tianye were in the same vein as Zeng Bufan to a large extent.
Zeng Bufan is a great master of swordsmanship. He taught Chen Tianye a set of 'Five Clouds Flowing Wind Sword', which is a set of swordsmanship driven by the true energy of all five elements. In terms of level, it is naturally a heaven-level magical skill.
Not only that, Zeng Bufan also gave Chen Tianye the swordsmanship secrets left behind by the sword god He Ruyun, and also gave him He Ruyun's sword, the heaven-level magic weapon 'Liu Yun'. Chen Tianye received the kendo inheritance from Zeng Bufan and He Ruyun, and naturally his kendo cultivation improved by leaps and bounds.
Chen Tianye practiced swordsmanship hard, and finally, six years later, he understood the third level of Xuanjian Shu and created his own swordsmanship - the Seven Styles of Yufeng Liuyun. In terms of power, the current Seven Styles of Yufeng Liuyun are not as good as the Wuyun Liufeng Sword Art, but the Seven Styles of Yufeng Liuyun absorb the essence of the Wuyun Liufeng Sword Art, and there is still a lot of room for improvement. As Chen Tianye's overall cultivation level continues to improve, it is inevitable for those who are behind to surpass the sages.
But Chen Tianye’s biggest achievement was not his sword skills, but his archery skills!
Zeng Bufan passed down a book of secret archery techniques called "Jingfeng" to Qing Duan and Chen San, which was left behind by Yuan Hao, the former No. 1 Archer of the Sea. The three of them had good bows and arrows, and they all improved the bows according to their own habits and preferences, and then each made hundreds of arrows.
The three of them practiced archery at the same time. As a result, Chen Tianye's talent in archery was inspired by Zeng Bufan, and he quickly left Qingshi and Duan Wutian behind. Over the past few years, Qingshi and Duan Wutian's archery skills have naturally become quite good, but Chen Tianye's archery skills have already faintly resembled the style of the archery god of the past.
Under Zeng Bufan's guidance, Duan Wutian and Chen Tianye made great progress, but in fact, it was Qingshi who made the greatest progress. Everyone is at the ninth level of the Golden Core Realm, but the quality and total amount of Qingshi's Qi far exceeds the two of them. Needless to say, Duan Wutian, even Chen Tianye, who already has all five elements, cannot compare with him.
In terms of swordsmanship, Zeng Bufan didn't give any advice to Qingshi. Qingshi could probably guess the reason why Zeng Bufan didn't teach Qingshi swordsmanship, because he, like Zeng Bufan, had understood the art of swordsmanship. Therefore, he no longer needs to practice other people's sword skills, he only needs to follow his own path.
Qingshi received advice from the Feng Emperor, and his understanding of the way of wind and the way of thunder became clearer. He also obtained Jiang Tiankui's secret book from Zeng Bufan, and made a qualitative leap in the use of Wind and Thunder Qi. This was his greatest gain.
······
On this day, Qingshi was dancing his sword in the wind on the top of the mountain, comprehending the way of wind and practicing the way of swordsmanship. Suddenly, he seemed to have some enlightenment in his heart. He immediately put away his sword and stood against the wind.
This mountain top is the commanding height of the entire island. For the past seven years, Qingshi has often come here to understand the way of wind. Sometimes it’s daytime, sometimes it’s moonlit night, sometimes it’s thin clouds and mist, sometimes it’s stormy.
The sea breeze on this day was not very strong, and the sun occasionally filtered through the clouds, which was warm and soft. The wind in the high sky was like water, and the clouds rolled and relaxed.
The bluestone stood for a long time. Suddenly, it flew up in the wind, like a fallen leaf blown from the ground by the wind. However, he does not roll and dance aimlessly in the wind like fallen leaves. Instead, he steadily controls his body shape, like a kite being flown into the sky. There is always a thread controlling its posture. However, This line is invisible and exists between his thoughts.
At this moment, Qing Shiming understood the way of wind, and then mastered a certain method of controlling the wind.
What is the Way of the Wind? Qingshi cannot be expressed in words, because 'the Tao can be Tao, but it is very Tao! The 'Tao' that can be expressed in words is not the Tao in the true sense.
What he can express in words is very limited, such as:
Wind can also be called wind and cloud. In addition to wind and clouds, it also includes rain, fog, snow, frost, etc. It can even be said to be a general term that includes all atmospheric phenomena.
The relationship between wind and thunder is very special, because thunder and lightning are generated from clouds.
Wind and clouds contain other forms of water, and therefore, are associated with the Five Elements.
The generation of wind is mainly due to changes in temperature, so it is closely related to yin and yang.
In short, wind is very complex and full of mysteries. It is by no means just the flow of gas as people usually understand.
Qingshi, who has understood the way of wind, will naturally also understand the method of controlling wind and the art of controlling wind. However, there is no order of enlightenment, but there are high and low levels of control and control. There is no difference between the way of wind that Qingshi understands and that that Feng Huang understands, but his method of wind control and wind control are inferior to those of Feng Emperor.
Nowadays, Qingshi can fly with the wind without relying on Xuanyuan Armor or the Wings of Wind and Thunder martial arts. He can fly with the wind just by relying on his own perception of the wind. wing.
However, after understanding the way of wind, and then using wind attribute martial arts such as the three rapid winds and the wings of wind and thunder, the performance of these martial arts can be almost "Tao".
Moreover, having fully understood the Way of Wind, Qingshi's understanding of the Way of Thunder, the Five Elements, and even the Way of Yin and Yang has been more or less improved.
What's more important is that after he fully understands the "wind", he will be able to fully master the art of wind control through study, accumulation, and understanding. In time, he will be able to control the storm like the Wind Emperor, and he will be able to control the storm like the Wind Emperor. It's just a matter of time.
Enlightenment is the prerequisite for mastering the Tao. Otherwise, no matter how hard you practice, you will not be able to reach the height of the Tao.
The common understanding among monks in Tianlong Continent is: Tao! Divided into heaven, earth, and humanity.
The so-called way of heaven refers to the nine avenues of metal, wood, water, fire, earth, yin and yang, wind and thunder. It represents all things in the world, as well as various relationships and laws of operation, development and change among all things, such as growth, annihilation, mutual generation and mutual restraint.
The authentic way refers to the way of magic developed by monks and represented by the three major ways of magic. It represents the methods and achievements of cultivators in understanding and utilizing nature.
Humanity refers to the various exercises and martial arts created by monks to exercise and develop their own potential, such as the way of swords, fists and feet, etc., which are usually collectively referred to as martial arts.
Another way of saying it is more simple and clear: 'Tao' is 'Tiandao', and all 'Taos' in the world are part of 'Tiandao'. Metal, wood, water, fire, earth, yin and yang, wind and thunder are the great ways of heaven, and the three major arts and martial arts are the ways of humanity.
In Qingshi's view, this division is undoubtedly more correct.
According to the consensus and experience of the monk community in Tianlong Continent, every Shenyuan realm monk has at least fully understood one of the 'Heaven's Ways of Humanity' or the 'Heaven's Great Way'. In other words, if you want to reach the Divine Origin realm, you need to at least fully understand it. A way of magic, a way of martial arts, or one of the nine great ways of heaven.
Because only by fully comprehending a heavenly way can the 'Tao' one comprehends be consistent with the Heavenly Way, thereby causing oneself to resonate with heaven and earth, and then allowing the elixir in one's body to be imprinted with traces of the 'Tao'. Such an elixir can It's called 'Shenyuan', which means the beginning of becoming a god. In other words, when you reach this point in your practice, you have the conditions to become a god. The monks who let their elixirs be imprinted with the traces of heaven are the monks of the Divine Origin Realm.
If the "Tao" of enlightenment is incorrect or incomplete, it will not be consistent with the way of heaven and the "Shen Yuan" will not be formed. Therefore, the realm of Shenyuan is not divided by the level of true energy, but by the level of enlightenment.
It is said that if you want to break through again on the basis of the Shenyuan realm and truly become an immortal and a god, you must understand at least one 'Dao of Heaven'.
Of course, those who have fully understood the 'way of heaven and humanity' may not necessarily be able to enter the divine realm. There have been many people who have fully understood the 'Great Way of Heaven' for thousands of years, but none of them have been able to achieve it and become a true god.
Qingshi has already understood the 'Way of the Sword', and now he has also understood the 'Way of the Wind'. This indicates that his achievements in the future will be limitless. It is almost certain that he will become a master of the Divine Origin Realm. Moreover, he also possesses Conditions for becoming a god.
The bluestone floats in the mid-air. This is achieved not by magic weapons or martial arts, but by the interaction between the wind-attributed Qi and the wind from the outside world. It is a true 'wind control technique'. He was suspended in the sea breeze out of thin air, but his body remained motionless. While continuing to experience the changes brought about by the 'Way of Wind', he began to practice pure control and control techniques.
Suddenly, Qingshi felt that someone was calling him, and at the same time he had an ominous premonition in his heart. Obviously, his perception became more acute. Qingshi turned his head to look at the direction from which the perception came, thought for a moment, and then activated his wings of wind and thunder to fly in that direction.
Qingshi's body shape was activated, and its speed was almost twice as fast as before. Such a substantial improvement in cultivation was simply unbelievable. However, Qingshi was not in the mood to celebrate at this time. Because, as he got closer and closer to his destination, he already knew who was calling him and roughly understood the reason for the ominous premonition.
In a picturesque courtyard by the lake, Zeng Bufan was half-lying on a deck chair made of wood and rattan. His eyes were slightly closed and his breath was like a gossamer. The setting sun shone on his body, but it could not add a trace of color to his pale face. . The lone immortal who has traversed the world of Tianlong for more than a thousand years has finally reached the end of his life.
The bluestone flew from the sky like a bird flying into the forest, and with its arms spread out, it landed steadily beside Zeng Bufan.
