The Nine Palaces picture on the wall was created by Zhao Lin dictating the spirit animal pictures in his mind and asking a painter to draw them.
Compared to ten years ago, there was only one more spirit of the Fire Cloud Silkworm.
In fact, he has been looking for strange beasts over the years in order to absorb the soul and improve his cultivation.
But strange beasts are easy to find, but suitable ones are hard to find.
The seven strange beasts in the spirit beast map: Bear Bear, Wind Raccoon, Silver-winged Bat, Scent-scented Mink, Ice Silkworm, Thunder Catfish, and Gold-eating Rat are already leaders in their respective fields. If you want to further "upgrade", basically impossible.
There were only two free grids left and he had to choose carefully, so he had not yet made a decision.
Until last year, Zhao Lin heard that Wei Zi's Lieyan Sect had a fire cloud silkworm that was more than a hundred years old, and he became interested.
It happened that Wei Zi had to pay a large amount of rare medicinal herbs to Dai Viet due to his poor performance in recent years, so Zhao Lin proposed to let them use Fire Cloud Silkworms to "pay off the debt".
Although the Lieyan Sect was reluctant to give up, in order to save the last dragon bone tree blood, they could only reluctantly hand over the Fire Cloud Silkworm.
Huoyun Silkworm is a fire attribute insect. Zhao Lin absorbed its essence, and naturally there was an extra fire attribute energy in his body, and his cultivation level was directly promoted to Yuan Realm Perfection!
The Yuan Realm is not divided into three levels like the Power Realm, Qi Realm and Blood Realm. There are only two realms: "unfulfilled" and "perfect".
The cultivation process of Yuanjing warriors is to absorb the vitality between heaven and earth and replace the original energy in the body.
Originally, it would take ten years to achieve perfection after entering the Yuan Realm.
But Zhao Lin won the championship four times in a row, earning himself a lot of training resources.
Take the dragon bone tree blood as an example. It is extremely difficult for anyone to get even one drop, but he has hundreds of drops!
With these resources, it only took him three years to reach Yuanjing perfection.
Next, he has only one goal: the Xiantian realm!
…
Early the next morning, Zhao Lin left the mansion and went out of the city to Xingyun Sect.
Although he is the Duke of the country, he still likes to drive lightly and travel alone.
"Good morning, Elder Zhao."
"I met the law enforcement elder..."
After walking into the mountain gate, the disciples on the road met Zhao Lin and stopped to salute with respectful expressions.
Zhao Lin broke through the Yuan realm at the age of twenty-seven and became the youngest Yuan realm warrior in the history of Xingyun Sect.
At that time, the law enforcement elder Fan Wenshu was old, and the head of the clan and other elders unanimously elected him to succeed him.
Zhao Lin didn't originally intend to do this, but the elder had the authority to read all the sect's exercises and could also check the yearbooks of the past, so he happily agreed.
Not long after, he arrived at Xianyuntang on the top of the mountain, walked through two long corridors, and walked into a retreat room.
The room is spacious and bright, with blue stone paving the floor. There is a table and a chair under the skylight on the right side of the door. There are two thick piles of books piled on the table, but nothing else.
This is Zhao Lin's exclusive retreat, where he studies martial arts on weekdays.
Walking to the table, he skillfully pulled out a dozen books, opened them all, and started reading them.
These books include Kung Fu books, notes from predecessors, yearbooks of past dynasties, and his own summary of cultivation experience...
From the first day he entered the Yuan Realm, Zhao Lin planned to break through to the next realm - the Xiantian Realm.
If you want to break through the innate realm, you must deduce the techniques.
The human body is as vast as the sea. Although the basic meridians and acupoints are exactly the same, there are also many subtle differences.
For example, the position of the atrium, the shape of the arch of the foot, the length and direction of the meridians, and the "hidden orifices" scattered throughout the body.
These subtle differences can be ignored in the three realms of strength, qi, and blood, but when you reach the innate realm, you can no longer turn a blind eye. The techniques must be different from person to person!
This is why warriors in the Xiantian realm are called masters. You can't become a master even if you are just learning to walk in Handan. You must have the ability to deduce martial arts that suit your own needs.
Zhao Lin started practicing martial arts at Xianyuntang when he was nineteen years old. After twelve years, he already had considerable skills in this area.
After completing the Yuan Realm, he began to try to deduce the techniques.
However, it was soon discovered that Yuanjing warriors were already at the limit that the human body could reach.
The vitality spreads throughout the body, the power of the technique is doubled, and the vitality can leave the body.
For example, Zhao Lin's practice of splitting the air can truly live up to its name. It can split a vitality wind sword within three feet without losing its power.
Going further, there is no further progress in the practice, and there is only one way to go: to reshape the physical body and reborn!
In order to confirm his conjecture, Zhao Lin looked through the notes left by the sect's past masters.
Although other people's exercises cannot be used directly, the general direction of practice can still be seen and learned from.
These notes also confirmed Zhao Lin's conjecture: Yuanjing is the end of martial arts. If you want to go further, you must temper your body and refine your body.
When reading the notes, it was inevitable to compare them with the sect's yearbook, and Zhao Lin discovered another problem.
Xingyun Sect has been established for 600 years, and there have been four masters in total.
Except for the first grandmaster who enjoyed his old age in the Xingyun Sect, the other three all left the sect around the age of forty and then disappeared.
"It's strange. Forty years old is the prime of life. Why did they leave?"
Zhao Lin was confused, could it be that because he was too cold at high places, he could no longer make progress in his sect's cultivation?
It’s impossible. Even if you travel around the world and practice cultivation, you will always come back.
These three people never returned.
Being murdered?
Less likely! It is extremely difficult to kill a Yuanjing warrior, let alone a master.
Zhao Lin was puzzled. He asked the headmaster and several elders about this problem, but they couldn't explain it. After all, it happened hundreds of years ago.
"That's strange. Is it possible that after cultivating to the master level, you will enter another world?"
Zhao Lin shook his head and sighed, then picked up a sect yearbook on the case and started reading it.
The sect's yearbook is written by the sect's executives and deacons, recording the major and minor events that occur in the sect, as well as the activities of important figures such as the leader and elders.
Since there is more than one author, there may be multiple yearbooks in the same time period. Over the past few hundred years, the sect's yearbooks have become numerous.
Zhao Linlu continued to read it for more than a year, but only read less than one third of it.
Because I have recently become interested in the experiences of several masters, I borrowed and read through the yearbooks of these people before and after they left the sect, hoping to see if I could find anything.
Turning to one of the pages, a record came into view.
"On June 15th of the 32nd year of Yanhe, Taoist Pu Yuanqing of Xuanyue Mountain visited the headmaster..."
Zhao Lin's eyes narrowed, why did another Taoist priest appear?
If it was before yesterday, Zhao Lin would definitely ignore this record when he saw it, but since he learned about Liang Song and saw it again, he became suspicious!
Lu Yuanxiu was the senior who left the words on the chair in the Lotus Mountain Villa. In the 32nd year of Yanhe, he was already the Xiantian Realm Grandmaster and the head of the Xingyun Sect.
In the same year, Lu Yuanxiu resigned as head of the company and traveled around the world!
Liang Song met Taoist priests before disappearing, and so did Lu Yuanxiu... What are the origins of these Taoist priests?
Zhao Lin stood up and quickly walked out of the retreat room.
