Taikoo Shing, North District.
Now the floating city has been closed, and outsiders are prohibited from entering.
The ten-mile radius of Lian Shen Mountain is even more tightly guarded, and no one from the Jiang clan can approach without permission.
now.
At the foot of the mountain, on the jade steps, there are dozens of male and female monks scattered on both sides of the steps.
The void fluctuated, and Jiang Xingqi revealed his figure with Zhong Yan, landing on the flat ground at the foot of the mountain.
Eyes gathered one after another, most of them were old men with white hair, and their auras were introverted and unknown.
Zhong Yan had imagined such a battle countless times in his mind, but he couldn't help but feel his heart beat faster and become nervous.
Among them were six relatively young juniors, including Jiang Xinghai and Jiang Linglong, who were delivering their voices respectively.
"Brother Dao, there's no need to worry, I'm just asking."
"Brother Tian, just tell me how you feel. I won't do it for you."
Zhong Yan smiled and nodded in greeting, cupped his fists, looked around and said loudly: "Aotian has met all the seniors!"
The current patriarch of the Jiang family, Jiang Changnian, has a middle-aged face, is not angry and has the aura of a superior person.
He stepped forward and said with a kind smile: "Aotian, don't be nervous. The vision is your chance and no one can take it away. You are so amazing and talented that the descendants of the Jiang clan who have been guarding the Mountain of Refining the Gods for hundreds of thousands of years can't take it away." So shameful!"
Zhong Yan cupped his hands and said: "It was a coincidence, senior, and I was so complimentary. Thanks to the blessing of heaven, I received the Jiang family's great favor by borrowing the Jiang family's treasure land. I will bear it in my heart!"
Jiang Changnian nodded and smiled, and asked: "I wonder if you, my little friend, would be willing to help us clear up our doubts and tell us the specific details of mountaineering and the vision?"
"As it should be."
Zhong Yan looked around and thought for a while before speaking: "This is my first time climbing a mountain, and my understanding of Lian Shen Mountain comes from Miss Linglong's introduction..."
He spoke in great detail, including his own feelings and reactions to the jade steps, such as great strength, body tempering, will, special step positions... everything.
The Jiang family has been sitting on the Lian Shen Mountain for hundreds of thousands of years, and it has been passed down from generation to generation. Naturally, they have studied it deeply and can hear the truth and falsehood.
After a cup of tea time.
Zhong Yan stopped talking and glanced at the people with pensive expressions. There were many sound transmission fluctuations in the venue.
Jiang Mucheng flew over and looked at him. The scene in the stone room unconsciously appeared in his mind. He immediately looked away and stood aside silently.
An old man said: "Tell me about the vision."
Zhong Yan looked at it, bowed his hands, then described it, and finally said: "Those runes were finally condensed into a technique, specifically used to cultivate spiritual consciousness."
Everyone looked at each other.
Zhong Yan raised his hand to gather the light of consciousness.
"Wait!"
Jiang Cheng'an, the master of virtual refining, stopped him. He turned over his hand and took out a jade slip and pushed it forward: "Bring it down."
Zhong Yan nodded, pointed like a knife, and carved on the blank jade slip with the power of his spiritual consciousness.
Everyone gathered around and couldn't understand the meaning of each inscription, but they could distinguish a lot of them. They were the inscriptions revealed in the vision beam at that time.
Not long after.
Jiang Chengan took the jade slip back and pressed it between his eyebrows. The inscription immediately turned into readable text and its meaning was absorbed into his memory. He closed his eyes and understood it carefully.
Everyone held their breath and watched his expression carefully. They saw his expression changing from time to time, with hints of excitement, and they suddenly knew that the technique was extraordinary.
A full incense time passed.
Jiang Chengan opened his eyes, his eyes were shining brightly, he took a deep look at Zhong Yan, handed the jade slip to the old man in black robe next to him, and at the same time transmitted a message to several old men: "It is more profound and mysterious than the "Qiankun Concentration Technique", it should be The legendary Tao-level method! Complete inheritance!"
Others' eyes flickered and they secretly guessed.
At this moment, Zhong Yan was the most nervous. He could not help but swallow as he felt the five old men continuously communicating with each other.
Such a heaven-defying method was used to prevent the Jiang family from being exposed and exiled, so it was only natural for the Jiang family to silence them.
About half an hour later.
The sound transmission fluctuations stopped, and the five people looked at him one after another with kind expressions.
Jiang Chengan said: "Aotian, tell me your thoughts about Lian Shen Mountain, or your guesses, such as the possible causes and determinants of the phenomenon."
Zhong Yan cupped his hands and said, "This junior also has many doubts in his mind and is not sure."
An old man said: "Let's talk and brainstorm."
Zhong Yan pursed his lips and muttered: "The body, the will, and the consciousness are all indispensable. I think the key lies in those special steps. Every time the formation changes position, there should be a vision, and it is different. People correspond to different levels..."
The number of acupoints is definitely closely related to the Sacred Tree Dao Diagram. Even if it is the lowest number of 365, it would take a huge amount of time just for the family to try one by one, because many times the opening of acupoints is not under one's control at all. 'Hidden orifices' are often involved in independent development.
By involving the huge ginger clan, research can progress faster.
After hearing the details, everyone frowned in thought.
Zhong Yan added: "Junior feels that the most suitable time is to climb the mountain when the foundation building period is complete and before the elixir is formed. Before that, the spiritual consciousness and physical body must be cultivated to be strong enough. If the key step cannot be approached for the first time, then use it later. Tempered by the sacred mountain, the position of the vision will change and go higher."
An old man frowned and said: "I have tried it, but the feasibility of this method is extremely low. Not to mention the jade steps at the key positions. Ordinary jade steps, the first level and the next level also require a strong physical body and spiritual consciousness. The physical body is not bad, but it takes time. Just train your body, but how to train your spiritual consciousness?"
Another person nodded and said to Zhong Yan: "This mountain of refining the gods is used to temper the consciousness. If you use other elixirs to cultivate the consciousness, it will not only consume huge resources during the divine transformation stage, but it will also be impractical in terms of time."
Zhong Yan was dumbfounded, forgetting that his spiritual consciousness came from the system. Ordinary monks, below the level of God Transformation, may not be able to achieve the effect of half a day's Spirit Transformation for an ordinary monk. The price/performance ratio is extremely low, and it is indeed difficult to achieve.
An old man said: "We can only select a few seedlings with powerful innate souls and spend a huge amount of resources to cultivate them."
Jiang Xingqi said: "Aotian continues."
Zhong Yan nodded: "What I can't figure out is that from what Miss Linglong said, Miss Zhiyu is climbing the mountain for the first time during the foundation building period and has already opened up acupoints. Why did she only reach the 81st level?"
Jiang Linglong was stunned for a moment and looked at the many elders.
Jiang Chengan's eyes flashed, and he changed the subject and said to one of the middle-aged people: "Find a few tribesmen who have completed the foundation building and have not yet climbed the mountain, and provide unlimited resources to temper their spiritual consciousness and physical body."
Zhong Yan added: "I heard that Miss Shiyan climbed to the 968th level for the first time and did not take another step forward. If the guess is correct, she can trigger the strange phenomenon if she climbs another level. It should still be effective now."
After a pause, he added: "I estimate that Miss Shiyan's physical body and spiritual consciousness have met the requirements at that time. In the last two or three levels, spiritual consciousness and physical body are not the key. It should rely on willpower. Therefore, Miss Shiyan triggered the abnormality. The elephant may be larger.”
Jiang Chengan pursed his lower lip, nodded and said, "That's right! The 969th step is indeed a special step, so ask her to come."
Zhong Yan, however, was not afraid of exposing the sacred tree's Dao map, because he had inquired about it and found that Jiang Shiyan had opened 967 acupoints to form pills.
If his guesses are correct, then the number of her origin Taoist acupoints should be 969, which is two short of it. Just like his last two, it was difficult to open them.
At this time, Jiang Xinghai said: "Why did Brother Tao have such an association in the first place?"
Zhong Yan said: “The human body has infinite mysteries, it is equivalent to a secret treasure in itself, and practice is to explore one’s potential.
Factors such as innate bloodline, spiritual roots, acquired environment, cultivation path, etc., lead to different physical conditions for everyone. Similar to martial arts and supernatural powers, different people have different fits.
People in the world say that the nine hundred and ninety-nine acupoints are the strongest because the number of acupoints is large and the vitality is fuller and more solid. However, it does not mean that this number of acupoints is suitable for everyone. "
Jiang Chengan looked at him in surprise, and rarely smiled: "You are so young and have such insights, you are indeed a genius."
He said to several young men: "This idea is very bold, but the truth is correct. In ancient times, some people specialized in cultivating meridians, and some specialized in cultivating acupoints. This is also the reason.
However, as Aotian said, everyone's situation is different. There are so many meridians in the human body and hundreds of thousands of acupuncture points. It is extremely difficult to find the perfect cultivation state that suits you.
Deliberate pursuit is time-consuming and labor-intensive, but it is easy to go astray, and the gains outweigh the losses. In today's era, resources are limited, and no one does this anymore, so it is not respected in the spiritual practice community. "
Zhong Yan cupped his hands and said, "Younger generation, I will teach you."
An old man sighed: "Most monks are being chased by Shouyuan. If there is no correct inheritance method, there will be no time to try."
Everyone chatted for a while.
A rainbow flew over, and an old man brought Jiang Shiyan.
"Shiyan has met all the ancestors!"
The woman was dressed in brocade and white robes, and she knelt down and bowed. Her pretty face was a little nervous, and she didn't know why she came in such a hurry.
Jiang Changnian explained the situation again.
Jiang Shiyan was stunned, glanced at Zhong Yan in surprise, raised his hands and said to the elders: "For all the ancestors, the last time Shiyan climbed a mountain was two years ago. He has climbed a total of fifty-eight times. He tried his best on the first six times. It was possible, but it was difficult to make progress. From then on, I only relied on the Holy Mountain to refine the elixir, and the refining effect of the Holy Mountain itself was almost non-existent."
Jiang Changnian said: "Aotian speculates that the last few levels require willpower. You only have one level left, which shows that your willpower is much higher than that of ordinary people. It is just a little short of it. You might as well try again..."
One by one, the old men spoke and imparted their experiences.
"Think about what you desire most, and you can get it by climbing one more level..."
"Think about the regrets you have had that cannot be undone, and you can make up for it by taking one step forward..."
Jiang Shiyan suddenly felt a lot of pressure, and his pretty face tensed up.
Jiang Chengan finally said: "There is no need to force it. If you can't persist, your life is the most important thing. I won't blame you."
Jiang Shiyan's eyes were firm and he clasped his fists hard: "Shiyan will go all out!"
Zhong Yan sent a message to her: "Come on, Miss Shiyan, I believe in you. If you reach this level, your future path to immortality will definitely undergo earth-shaking changes."
This is the person he has met so far who has the closest number of acupoints to the 'natal acupoints'.
As for why it is speculated that nine hundred and sixty-nine is her 'natal acupoint number', it is naturally because she reached the nine hundred and sixty-eighth level for the first time and could no longer move forward.
This has never happened to anyone else in the Jiang family.
Now at the eighth level of Jiang Shiyan's golden elixir, his physical body and spiritual consciousness are much stronger than when he first climbed the mountain. Normally, it would be impossible for him to continue to refine.
Jiang Shiyan blinked his beautiful eyes, revealing an unnatural and forced smile, Chuanyin smiled bitterly and said: "Brother Dao has done me a lot of harm. Such a heavy burden, the hopes of the entire family, if it doesn't succeed, I don't know how to explain it, ancestor." The elders must be extremely disappointed in me, if other people of my generation find out..."
Without continuing, she took a deep breath and walked towards the steps.
Zhong Yan said: "Miss Shi Yan, why don't you change into something stronger first?"
Jiang Shiyan paused, his face stiffened, and when he thought of something, a hint of embarrassment appeared on his pretty face.
A woman with a slightly wrinkled face pushed over a set of silver gauze armor and said with a smile: "My child, this is for you."
Jiang Shiyan was flattered and hurriedly bowed and thanked: "Thank you, Grandma Taizu, for the gift!"
After making a circle, she flew down to the forest not far away.
Zhong Yan cupped his hands towards Jiang Chengan: "Senior, I wonder if this junior can go climbing again?"
Jiang Chengan turned over his hand and handed out a jade bottle: "Yun Shen Dan, used to cultivate spiritual consciousness."
"Thank you, senior!"
Zhong Yan breathed a sigh of relief, this test was finally over.
