"This is not your responsibility. Your task is to collect all kinds of information about the mine and send it to me regularly."
"My nephew understands."
"Li Chengdao took over the mine. Has he made any new moves in the past few days?"
"Replaced the three captains and the deacon of the Lingshi Warehouse, using the people he brought."
"Where are those people?"
"They have all been transferred to insignificant areas. However, Elder Fu has told me that if there are any big changes, let me find the new Captain Zhang. He said you know this person."
"Yes, but don't look for him unless you have to, so as not to expose him. It is your responsibility to comfort those who have been replaced, and don't let them lose heart."
"yes."
"The senior ones here are Li Birds. How many do you control?"
"Only two."
"Yes. I brought three here, all for you. Hide them well and don't let Li Chengdao notice them."
"Don't worry, uncle, I have a place to hide."
"Also, pay close attention to the movements of the other two families, focusing on the people of the Three Saints Sect. If Li Chengdao comes into contact with them, report it immediately."
"clear."
"Yun'er, this is the reward given to you by the sect master." Sima Gu took out several pill bottles and handed them over.
The man in black's eyes lit up and he took it respectfully. He knew that those were violets.
"Thank you, sect master and uncle."
"Are your people still reliable?" Sima Gu asked again.
"Uncle, don't worry, they are all loyal to the sect master."
"Okay, tell them that the sect leader will always remember them."
"yes."
At the same time, in the Black Armored Guard stronghold, Elder Li was also listening to the report from his subordinates.
"Miss, just returned to the palace?"
"Exactly."
"Sima Gu didn't follow her?"
"Sima Gu left in the morning, saying he was inspecting the mine. His subordinates reported that he went to the mine." A captain in black armor reported respectfully to Li Chengdao.
"We need to protect the safety of the young lady, do you understand?"
"My subordinates understand that I have sent additional personnel outside the young lady's palace. Elder, please rest assured."
"What's going on with the deacons and captains in the mine?" Li Chengdao asked again.
"It's pretty normal, but there are some discussions."
"What's the discussion?" Li Chengdao raised his eyebrows.
"this……"
"explain!"
"I'm talking about you. It's not in line with the rules for you to be in charge of the mine. Elder Fu is the elder of Duzhi. I'm telling you that you're a layman." The black-armored captain muttered.
"Some comments are normal. You tell them that Elder Fu is in charge of all the sect's properties and has no energy to take care of the mines. He went back because the sect can't do without him." Elder Li said with a solemn face.
"My subordinate understands."
"Send out another team to strengthen the guard of the Lingshi Warehouse. No one can enter or leave without the handwriting of Deacon Du and I, especially uncle and nephew Sima."
"yes."
"Also, is there any news about the Three Saints?"
"Not yet. You have just arrived here. I'm afraid the Three Saints Church hasn't had time to contact us yet."
"Did you come here before or for a summons?"
"Someone is coming."
"Well, remember, don't use Yaoliniao lightly."
"My subordinates understand. Elder, I heard that the deputy sect master is about to break through the golden elixir realm?" the black-armored captain asked cautiously.
"A breakthrough is imminent. This matter will be kept secret for the time being. Don't inquire about it at will, let alone make it public."
"yes."
Elder Li never mentioned Zhou Yang's matter from beginning to end, and he did not pay attention to a small Kaiyuan cultivator.
While the two were plotting, on a small mountain peak not far from the Xuanfu Sect mine, two black figures were probing around.
"We go in after dark."
"good."
Early the next morning, Zhou Yang woke up from meditation, stretched his body, and walked out of his room.
After listening outside Sima Ling'er's door, there was no movement, so he walked out of the palace gate.
"Guard Zhou, Senior Sima has told you that you cannot go out alone." As soon as he stepped out of the door, a guard in black stopped him.
"If I don't go out, I just want to breathe in the aura of the mountain." Zhou Yang was depressed in his heart, but said indifferently.
He suddenly noticed that there were more guards outside the palace, and he became suspicious and thought to himself: "Is it possible that because the lady is here, the guards were added to protect her safety?"
The guard stopped asking questions, but his eyes remained on him, as if he would be caught immediately as soon as he left the palace area.
Zhou Yang didn't care either, this was all expected.
In the morning at Cangshou Mountain, people feel more comfortable than at Daqing Mountain. The spiritual energy of this mountain is very strong. Breathing in is like drinking fine wine. Although it cannot improve your cultivation level, you won't feel hungry even if you don't eat.
Zhou Yang suddenly remembered the theory of breathing. Breathing Qi means fasting. Fasting does not mean not eating anything, but eating no ordinary food and only absorbing spiritual energy. This spiritual energy will be enough for the body's needs.
At the early stage of the Lingtai realm, it is enough to eat one meal a day or two, because the Lingtai realm can directly absorb spiritual energy and replenish the body's needs. In the middle and late stages of the Lingtai realm, one can eat once every five or six days, and at the peak of the Lingtai realm, one can eat one meal every ten and a half days without feeling hungry. The reason why you still have to eat is because the amount of spiritual energy absorbed by Lingtai realm cultivators is not enough to fully meet the needs of the body.
When you reach the Tianyuan realm, you can completely live without grains and only eat Qi.
It used to be that Zhou Yang would feel hungry if he didn't eat for a day, but recently he felt that it shouldn't be a problem if he didn't eat for a day. From this point of view, he can absorb and digest some spiritual energy, which shows that he is not far from the Lingtai realm.
He felt that his Yuan Power was also slowly changing. The trace amounts of spiritual energy absorbed were no longer converted into Yuan Power, but were gradually stored to form another kind of power, which was much more refined than Yuan Power.
He understood that these powers were spiritual powers.
One's own Yuan Power has been saturated and begins to transform into spiritual power. Only by cultivating spiritual power can the true cultivation of Taoism begin. The power of spiritual power is more powerful and its use is more widespread. Like ordinary magic weapons and magic weapons, they all require the use of spiritual power. Even the storage bag can be opened much faster with spiritual power than Yuan power.
Some time ago, Zhou Yang was so exhausted from working in the mine all day that he had no time to practice, so his cultivation was stagnant. Since he became the escort of the young lady, the supply of spiritual stones and elixirs has been open. His cultivation has been improving rapidly, and his energy has become more condensed and pure.
In recent days, he felt that his altar was undergoing subtle changes, and there seemed to be something in his mind, but this feeling was vaguely absent. However, he was still sensitive enough to find that his reactions were faster and he was thinking about problems more quickly.
For cultivators at the peak of Kaiyuan, when their cultivation reaches a certain level, their Yuanli will undergo a qualitative change. This is to be expected. However, it is extremely difficult for the divine platform to transform qualitatively, which is also the shackle that restricts most Kaiyuan cultivators from entering the spiritual platform realm. These changes at Zhou Yang's altar made him suddenly realize something.
"Could it be that this indicates that divine consciousness is about to emerge?" Zhou Yang was inexplicably surprised.
Uncle Zhong once told him that there are two signs of entering the Lingtai realm, one is to cultivate spiritual power, and the other is to cultivate spiritual consciousness.
This Lingtai is not the other Lingtai, and it does not refer to the Lingtai acupoint on the Du Channel of the human body. Why is it called the Lingtai realm? Ling is spiritual power, the platform is the sacred platform, and the sacred platform is the area where spiritual consciousness is located. Those who possess both spiritual power and spiritual consciousness are those in the Lingtai realm.
Now Zhou Yang is at the peak of Kaiyuan and is only one step away from the Lingtai realm, but Zhou Yang doesn't know when he will be able to take this step. In the Kaiyuan realm, as long as you accumulate enough, you can naturally break through each level. In order to enter the Lingtai realm, in addition to accumulation, you must have understanding.
The chance of Kaiyuan's breakthrough to the Lingtai realm is only 30 to 40% or even less. In other words, most Kaiyuan cultivators cannot enter the Lingtai realm. In the same way, the chance of entering the Tianyuan Mirror from the Lingtai is even lower. Only practitioners with excellent cultivation talents or great opportunities can achieve breakthroughs.
As for Tianyuan cultivators achieving the golden elixir, the small chance is disappointing. First of all, there must be a huge amount of training materials as a basis. Secondly, it is talent and luck. There are millions of cultivators in Anping City, but there are only a few masters of the golden elixir. This shows how difficult it is to achieve the golden elixir.
Jin elixir, Zhou Yang did not consider it for the time being. Entering the spiritual platform realm, his accumulation may still be a little bit behind, but he is confident in his cultivation talent, especially since the changes in the spiritual platform have made him even more confident. As long as you accumulate enough, there should be no problem in entering the Lingtai realm.
Huang Ling Dan! There is an urgent need for Huang Ling Dan, and Zhou Yang has to find a way to find the materials.
"Didn't you just play all day long? Are you going out today?" Zhou Yang had just returned to the palace when he saw Sima Gu and Ling'er talking in the hall.
"Uncle Gu, just let me go, otherwise I will suffocate to death. Don't worry, I will move within the scope you allow!" Sima Ling'er begged.
"It's not that I don't want you to go. This place is no better than Anping City. Not only are high-level monsters often seen, but the people from the other two factions are also not good people. It's too dangerous!" Sima Gu did not let go.
"I won't go out tomorrow, okay, Uncle Gu."
"No, your safety is most important."
"Then I won't eat and starve myself to death."
"You!" Sima Gu was choked and speechless. He didn't want any accidents to happen during this extraordinary period, but there was nothing he could do about Sima Ling'er.
"Okay, double the escort."
"Thank you, Uncle Gu!" After hearing Sima Gu's agreement, Ling'er quickly thanked him.
"What are you doing standing there stupidly? Let's go!" Sima Ling'er shouted to Zhou Yang who was standing at the door.
"Yes, Miss." Zhou Yang bowed in response.
The lineup for this trip was quite large, with eight guards accompanying them, including a peak Lingtai master.
"Where are we going?" Zhou Yang asked after leaving the palace.
"Captain Pu, aren't you always stationed here? I heard that there is a hot spring in Cangshou Mountain. Where is it?" Sima Ling'er turned to ask the Lingding cultivator.
"This..." Captain Pu hesitated.
"Speak quickly!" Sima Ling'er said urgently.
"One hundred and fifty miles from here."
"so far!"
"Senior Sima gave orders not to let..." Captain Pu tried to persuade again.
"Okay, got it, fifty miles! Didn't a single monster appear yesterday? It's okay to go deeper, a bunch of cowardly guys." Sima Ling'er curled her lips and said.
"Hot spring!" When Zhou Yang heard about the hot spring, he naturally thought of the picture of the beautiful woman taking a bath in Tu Yan's painting boat. This time it was a real person, and she was so beautiful!
