Li Xiuyuan was not drunk on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, but the Jade Lord Nalan Ruoyu was a little drunk, and finally slipped into the depths of the hall when the moon was at its peak.
Meng Shentong was very happy tonight, not because of Li Xiuyuan's lofty ambitions, but because his apprentice did not covet fairy swords and was satisfied with a bamboo sword in his hand.
What surprised him most was that when Li Xiuyuan took out the bamboo sword with two rune restrictions engraved on it, a burst of flame energy appeared in front of the old man, startling him.
At this time, Ping An was already lying on the old man's lap and dreaming.
"The disciple is not talented. He only has a flame rune engraved on it and an acceleration rune on it. No matter how many more, I'm afraid this bamboo sword won't be able to withstand it..."
Li Xiuyuan looked at the old man and smiled.
The old man was stunned for a moment, then laughed loudly and said: "Old Yuan Zun is really blind. I also support you to find the divine fire first and then learn to refine weapons."
"Disciple thinks so too. Without fire, I can't become a weapon refiner... Besides, this is not my ambition. At most, it's enough to learn this skill."
In Li Xiuyuan's opinion, making weapons is just like learning how to make swords. He should not be obsessed with it, otherwise he may be like Master Ouyang Dongli back then and delay his practice.
The old man took a deep breath and said with a smile: "Remember what you want to practice. Everything else is just the scenery you encounter on the road."
Li Xiuyuan nodded and said with a smile: "Although my disciple failed to bring the stars into my body, when I wake up every day, I always feel that I have endless strength. Is it the power given to me by the seven stars?"
The old man thought of the wonderful image he saw on the top of the mountain at Di Ye, but he thought about it but did not tell Li Xiuyuan.
He just said lightly: "How can it be so easy to attract stars into the body? I hope you can do everything that you failed to do as a teacher, and don't leave any regrets."
After thinking for a while, Li Xiuyuan asked what he had never understood.
"Teacher, have any monks in this world ascended? If so, where did they go in the end?"
In his own world, the thirty-three days on Mount Sumeru were the ultimate goal. After coming to Xuanwu Continent, Li Xiuyuan did not read any records about the ascension of monks in the library.
Therefore, he was very confused.
"There can be saints in the Xuanwu Continent. Many monks will never reach this height in their lifetime, let alone ascend and leave..."
"In the civilization of Xuanwu Continent, monks can use the power of stars to draw starlight into their bodies... use space energy to practice, and after reaching a certain height, they can also explore the existence of other stars..."
"As far as I know, when you reach the level of a saint, you will be able to travel to galactic civilizations, travel through time and space, and use black holes for interstellar travel."
The old man took a sip of spiritual tea and continued: "Be able to understand black holes and master multi-dimensional space, contact higher civilizations in other galaxies, and become a member of the Galaxy Civilization Alliance..."
"Perhaps these teachers are invisible, including most of the disciples in the sect. Their ultimate cultivation may only stop at the realm of saints..."
When Meng Shentong said this, there was a hint of imperceptible regret on his face, which was also the pain he had suffered for many years.
Because after meeting Li Xiuyuan, he felt like he had discovered the brightest star in the dark night, and he did not hesitate to teach him the way of the stars that he had not yet fully comprehended.
He wants Li Xiuyuan to surpass a saint, not to think about how to become a saint!
And his idea is obviously a treason in the Xuanwu land. Any monk with immortal veins will not give up the hope of becoming an immortal, but risk his life to lose all his skills and try to test the stars. Enter the body.
Except for the young man in front of him, who has strong physical strength and no trace of immortal veins or true energy, he can hope to communicate with the stars and attract stars into his body.
"Saint...isn't the ultimate goal...could it be that the sea of stars is?"
The old man looked at him and smiled and said: "Aren't you just communicating with the stars now? You have a long time, so don't be impatient."
In the eyes of the old man, Li Xiuyuan not only brought stars into his body, but the young man now had turned his body into a starry sky. All seven stars had entered his body, and they were changing the structure of his body all the time.
However, this is also a process from ignorance to self-knowledge.
Even if the old man told the disciples in front of him what he had discovered, even Li Xiuyuan would not be able to use the power of these stars.
After all, the stars at the moment entered his body on their own initiative, not because Li Xiuyuan succeeded in attracting the stars and realized the power of these moments.
That's why he asked Li Xiuyuan not to be anxious. Even if it takes ten or fifty years to realize it, it is still something to be proud of.
"From now on, you must not take any elixirs or magical medicines...even those given to you by the Medicine Master!"
The old man thought for a while, looked at him and said seriously: "Your body already has the function of self-repair. You must not suddenly condense the immortal veins when you are sensing the stars..."
This is Meng Shentong's own lesson. When the power of the stars had not yet been formed, he suddenly gathered the immortal veins, and was confused and reluctant to let go of them. As a result, he did not fully cultivate the body of the stars.
Li Xiuyuan was stunned, thinking that he couldn't let me give up all my cultivation, right?
However, right now, he is no different from a mortal without cultivation. Even if he says it, the old man won't believe it.
After thinking about it, he looked at Meng Shentong and said with a smile: "It would be great if the disciple can practice with the teacher. I won't take any magic medicine randomly."
In his opinion, he still had a magical medicine that could last for a thousand years or ten thousand years, and Chen Mengsheng had already died on the Tianhuang Mountain for that magical medicine.
Thinking of Chen Mengsheng, Li Xiuyuan finally remembered, looked at Meng Shentong and asked: "Teacher, are there any books about medicinal herbs in the library? I want to study it."
Meng Shentong was startled when he heard this, looked at him and asked, "Do you want to be the disciple of Medicine Master?"
"Even if I think about it, I don't have the skills!"
In his opinion, he wanted to learn both weapon refining and medicine refining, but the most important thing right now was to feel the power of the stars and find a way to find the legendary divine fire.
Thinking of this, Li Xiuyuan said thoughtfully: "I said it is the same as the method of refining weapons, just take a look."
Meng Shentong breathed a sigh of relief, looked at him and warned: "Don't take the medicine indiscriminately. Even if you get the magic medicine, you have to show it to me, otherwise you will just wait to cry, but you can't mess around!"
Waving his hand, Meng Shentong picked up Ping An in one hand, turned around and left the Yaoguang Hall, disappearing above the Bamboo Peak.
Li Xiuwu looked up at the faint night sky, but he was thinking about what the old man said. It turned out that Xuanwu Continent was a world with saints, and it was still not the end that he wanted to conquer.
He suddenly missed the old Taoist priest.
If his master were here, he would definitely be able to explain all these questions to him.
It was the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the night was as cold as water. Li Xiuyuan wanted to play a piece of zither to express his feelings...but he couldn't take out the zither, and his master was obviously drunk deep in the hall. Somewhere in the corner.
After cleaning up the mess on the table, he took out a futon and put it under the eaves of the main hall.
Looking at the bright moon, holding a half glass of wine in his hand, he couldn't help but use his hand as a pen to write on the bluestone floor with the apricot blossom wine in the glass.
Then he raised his head and drank the remaining wine in the glass.
Thinking of my loved ones under the starry sky, I couldn't help but sigh. Practicing spiritual practice is indeed a lonely road.
...
Rarely feeling happy, she drank a few more drinks in the night and woke up with a hangover. When Nalan Ruoyu walked out of the room, the sun was shining high and it was already past Chen hour.
I opened my mouth and felt it tasted bitter.
Thinking that Li Xiuyuan was back and he had to make some spiritual tea to relieve the hangover, he moved outside.
After washing up and coming to the front of the hall, I found that the building was empty.
She opened her mouth, but did not shout out, because Fangfei's consciousness told her that her disciple had gone to the back mountain to grow vegetables and practice sword practice.
"Can't I practice in Yaoguang Palace?"
Nalan Ruoyu looked around and saw that there was a lot of open space outside the Xindao Palace. Couldn't you just plant some vegetables in a few plots? I have to go to that damn place in the back mountain, where I can't find anyone to make tea.
He had to do it himself. He took a quiet breath outside the palace. When he was about to turn around and go into the palace to make tea, he saw a pool of water stains under the eaves outside the palace.
When she stepped forward to take a closer look, she was speechless for a while.
After a long while, he muttered to himself: "I actually brought back a monster!"
I saw a pool of water stains on the bluestone board. It was clearly a sword intent casually swayed on the ground with some wine. After careful reflection, it had the power of water and the power of fire!
An instant ago, two different swords struck him head-on... Subconsciously, Nalan Ruoyu took a step back.
Looking at the sword intent on the ground, he softly chanted:
Lovers complain about the distant night, but they miss each other at night.
When the candle is extinguished, the compassionate light is full, and when I put on my clothes, I feel the dew.
What kind of monster did he accept? He obviously had no immortal veins, but he could teach Ping An to practice swordsmanship.
Even though he didn't have a trace of fairy spirit, he could carve two different sword movements on the ground.
After being stunned for a long time, she took a piece of white cloth from the room, rubbed a puddle of ink, and rubbed the poem on the ground onto the cloth.
Then it turned into a breeze and went down the mountain.
She was going to ask the old man in the library where this guy came from?
...
At this time, Li Xiuyuan, who had returned to the mountain, was sitting in the cave in a daze.
With nothing to do in the morning, he watered the vegetable field and practiced sword practice for an hour. Then he returned to the cave and started doing what he had done in the Five Domains Tianshan Mountains.
He had spent many days before carving all the Buddhist scriptures that the old Taoist priest had put into his divine sea on the stone walls and floors of the cave.
I had nothing to do today, so I just thought about finishing the last section of the carving. Suddenly, a golden light spread throughout the cave, and I felt a roar coming from the underground.
Before he could recover, he felt that he had left the cave and suddenly came to a dark space.
This is a place that is darker than night, where you can't see your fingers, and there is no starlight to guide you, let alone the light of a bright lamp.
"Have I traveled through time again?"
Li Xiuyuan was startled, because at this time, his Delirium Eye also fell into a deep sleep, and he could only release his consciousness to quietly sense the situation around him.
Leaning slightly, he found a torch from the space ring and held it in his hand. With a wave of his hand, a flame burned.
In the underground world that had not seen light for thousands of years, a voice sounded at the moment the torch was lit.
I saw that the faint dome was inlaid with countless crystal stones, which emitted a faint light under the illumination of torches, like countless stars rising in the dark night.
Looking back at his surroundings, Li Xiuyuan had an unreal feeling. This was not an underground world, it was simply a luxurious palace.
Could it be that tens of millions of years ago, this was also the palace of Tianyun Mountain?
Before he could continue to admire it, a low roar came from the darkness.
Li Xiuyuan was startled, took out the Demon Sword with a wave of his hand, and ran in the direction of the sound.
I saw an incense burner dozens of feet away... A zombie wearing armor, holding a big knife, roaring in a low voice and rushed towards him.
It turns out there are zombies here!
Li Xiuyuan was startled, turned around and ran back.
The zombie in front seemed to smell the stranger's scent, and was excited for a moment, chasing him in the direction of his escape.
...
