A few hours later, Gao Zhuang woke up, but he was still extremely weak.
Tong Yan gave Gao Zhuang another pill left by Zhou Yuqin, then looked at Xiao Zhan and said:
"Xiao Zhan, since senior sister said, let me take you back to Piaomiao Sect, you can go back with us."
"If it weren't for you this time, Gao Zhuang and I would definitely be dead."
"Don't worry, I will definitely convince Master to help you treat your injuries."
Xiao Zhan thought for a moment.
What he was most worried about was being seen to be from another realm.
Therefore, from the beginning, Xiao Zhan never thought about contacting some big forces.
However, Xiao Zhan has not yet found a way to sense the energy of this world. Maybe he can get some insights after going to the Piaomiao Sect.
Seeing Xiao Zhan nodding, Tong Yan also laughed happily.
Half a day later, Gao Zhuang was able to move around normally.
The strength of nursery rhyme has also returned to 50% of its peak state.
She took Gao Zhuang and Xiao Zhan and rushed towards the direction of Piaomiao Sect as fast as possible.
While flying, Tong Yan sighed with emotion:
"I can see that Master still misses Senior Sister Yuqin very much."
"It's a pity that Senior Sister Yuqin won't return to Piaomiao Sect with us."
Xiao Zhan did not speak, but subconsciously looked back at the dense forest behind him.
Xiao Zhan knew that Zhou Yuqin had been secretly following and protecting him.
She just didn't want people to know.
Xiao Zhan was not able to sense Zhou Yuqin's existence, but it was based on an intuition formed over tens of thousands of years.
Under such circumstances, Tong Yan, Gao Zhuang and Xiao Zhan, after more than ten days of traveling, finally approached the Piaomiao Sect.
The Piaomiao Sect is indeed a big force in this area, even more powerful than the Tianming Sect where Xiao Zhan once stayed.
According to Tong Yan, her master is one of the inner elders of the Piaomiao Sect and is very powerful.
On a steep peak covered with towering ancient trees, Xiao Zhan met his childlike master.
This turned out to be a woman, with a beautiful appearance and an elegant temperament. There was no sign of time at all. Some people would even believe that she and Tong Yan were senior sisters.
However, the indifference in her gestures can still highlight the accumulation of years.
Tong Yan’s master is called Duan Muying.
After hearing Tong Yan tell what happened, she frowned slightly, and then found the sealed scroll.
The next moment, a white crane hovering high in the sky swooped down, picked up the scroll and flew back to the sky.
Duanmuying sighed softly:
"It seems that your senior sister still hates me."
Tong Yan was stunned:
"Master, why does Senior Sister Yuqin hate you? She didn't come back with us because she didn't have the face to see you."
Duanmuying shook his head slightly, a complicated look flashed in his eyes, but he did not explain anything.
Xiao Zhan, who was standing nearby, was thoughtful.
He could probably guess some.
Many years ago, something must have happened between the master-disciple Duan Muying and Zhou Yuqin, which ultimately led Zhou Yuqin to choose to leave the Piaomiao Sect.
However, as time passed, Duanmuying may also be reflecting on whether what she did at the beginning was right, so she felt ashamed of Zhou Yuqin.
Zhou Yuqin, on the other hand, has probably matured a bit and realized that she was naive and disobedient back then and failed Duanmu Ying's teachings.
In fact, although Xiao Zhan didn't guess the specific thing, he guessed the two people's mentality correctly.
Duanmuying looked at Xiao Zhan at this time, nodded slightly and said:
"Your name is Xiao Zhan, right?"
"Thanks to you this time, I not only saved Tong Yan's life, but also helped them save the scroll."
"There are extremely important secrets there, and even I don't have permission to see them."
Saying,
Duanmuying frowned slightly:
"You give me a weird feeling."
"You have a mysterious aura about you."
Xiao Zhan just hugged his fists and said nothing.
Duan Muying nodded, her slender white fingers stretched out from her wide sleeves, and a ray of white light turned into a ribbon, slowly lingering on Xiao Zhan.
Xiao Zhan's expression remained unchanged, but he was a little worried that his condition would be discovered.
Sure enough, Duanmuying frowned instantly:
"On the surface, there seems to be nothing wrong with your body."
"But your vitality loss rate is far faster than that of ordinary people."
"And..." Duanmuying paused for a moment, then suddenly frowned and asked:
"You have never opened a source aperture at all, why did you lie to Tong Yan that you were a rogue cultivator before?"
Hearing this, Tong Yan was stunned and looked at Xiao Zhan in disbelief, as if she did not expect that Xiao Zhan would deceive her.
Xiao Zhan clasped his fists and said softly:
"Before, I was indeed a casual cultivator, and I didn't know why my body had changed like this."
Tong Yan also nodded quickly:
"Yes, Master, if Xiao Zhan had not practiced before, he would not have been able to appear in such a desolate area, nor would he have survived in the territory of those ferocious beasts."
Duanmuying frowned deeper:
"That's probably because I don't know what trick you fell into."
With that said, Duanmuying waved her hand, and a roll of exercises flew in front of Xiao Zhan.
She said:
"This is not our Piao Miao Sect's technique, but a volume of Qiaoqiao Kung Fu technique that I obtained while traveling many years ago."
"Try to see if you can reopen the source aperture. If you can't, then you will probably have no chance of practicing in this life."
Xiao Zhan nodded, cupped his fists and said thank you, without saying anything else.
At this moment, a rapid bell sounded.
Duanmuying looked at Tong Yan and said:
"I'm going to Piaomiao Peak to discuss matters. Tong Yan, you find a place on the peak for Xiao Zhan to stay temporarily. After a month, you can send him away."
Tong Yan's face lit up, and he shouted with a smile:
"I know, Master!"
Duanmuying jumped up, and a huge white crane flew over, carrying her far away.
Tong Yan patted her chest and looked at Xiao Zhan with surprise:
"Xiao Zhan, do you know that our Piaomiao Sect never lets outsiders in?"
"But this time you helped me make a contribution, so Master made an exception and allowed you to stay on the peak for a month."
"You may not be able to sense it now, but the energy in our Piao Miao Sect is particularly strong, and the training environment on our peak is ranked among the best in the entire sect."
"Stay here for a month, and you might really be able to reopen your source aperture."
Xiao Zhan nodded and followed Tong Yan towards the mountainside.
Not long after, Tong Yan pointed to a quiet courtyard and said with a smile:
"Master has a total of nine disciples, and I am the youngest one. In addition to Senior Sister Yuqin who has left the Piaomiao Sect, there are three Senior Sisters who are in retreat and four Senior Sisters who are performing tasks outside."
"This courtyard happens to be the courtyard where Senior Sister Yuqin lived many years ago. You can live here this month."
Xiao Zhan thanked him and walked into the courtyard.
Tong Yan stood at the door of the yard, pointed in a certain direction and said:
"Xiao Zhan, because a senior sister is in retreat, you better not wander around. Look, that's the courtyard where I live. If you have anything, you can come to me directly."
Xiao Zhan nodded and then asked:
"Who is the master of Gao Zhuang?"
Tong Yan smiled and said:
"Gao Zhuang is Elder Chen Fei's apprentice."
Xiao Zhan hummed:
"What is Elder Chen Fei's personality like?"
Tong Yan shook her head:
"I don't know Elder Chen Fei very well, but I heard that Elder Chen Fei is a very serious person and is always cold."
Xiao Zhan didn't say anything else. After watching Tong Yan leave, he began to tidy up the yard.
The reason why he asked about Elder Chen Fei's character was because Xiao Zhan was worried that after listening to Gao Zhuang's story, Elder Chen Fei would find him and discover the secret that he was not from this realm.
Putting aside these thoughts for the time being, Xiao Zhan entered the room and closed the door, then opened the mind-opening technique given by Duan Muying and studied it carefully.
Although Xiao Zhan doesn't know the level of this technique, it can at least let Xiao Zhan understand what the source aperture is.
After all, Xiao Zhan is also a powerful person at the level of a senior world master. Even if all his strength, experience and understanding are sealed, it is still not comparable to ordinary people.
He only read it once and fully understood what the source aperture was.
To put it simply, the cultivation systems in this world are all based on the Origin Aperture.
Before starting to practice, you need to sense the energy of heaven and earth to temper your body.
This step is similar to Xiao Zhan's previous training system.
After the physical training is completed, the body strength is enough to open up.
The so-called opening of an orifice is to open up an orifice in the body that can accommodate and store energy.
Moreover, as the number of acupoints increases, the cultivation and strength will become stronger.
These acupoints can be connected with each other using energy to form energy running routes in the body.
Depending on the energy running route, the strength of individuals will also be different.
Moreover, in this exercise, there are ways to temper one's body, as well as ways to open one's source of energy.
Xiao Zhan decided to train his body according to the above method, and then try to see if he could sense the energy of this world.
According to the records in this exercise book, there are three common ways to exercise the body.
The first is to use natural materials, earthly treasures or elixirs.
Although there are a lot of natural and earthly treasures in the space inside Xiao Zhan's body, they are not even comparable to weeds in this world. What's more, Xiao Zhan has no way to take out the things in the space inside his body.
The second method is to ask practitioners to help and use energy to strengthen the body.
This method is not suitable for Xiao Zhan now.
That leaves only the third option.
It is also the most difficult method.
That is to use stupid methods to continuously squeeze your body and stimulate its potential, so as to achieve the purpose of tempering your body.
Xiao Zhan can only stay in Piaomiao Sect for one month, and Xiao Zhan himself does not want to stay too long, lest he attracts the attention of others.
So Xiao Zhan started immediately.
He started practicing martial arts in the yard.
Practicing martial arts can consume your physical strength to the greatest extent and stimulate your body's potential.
In just half an hour, Xiao Zhan was already sweating profusely, and his whole body seemed to be exhausted from the medicine.
He didn't stop and continued to swing his fists and kicks until he exhausted his last bit of strength and fell to the ground unable to move.
But after just waiting for a while, Xiao Zhan got up again and continued to move.
It was already pitch dark, and Xiao Zhan kept draining his energy until he couldn't get up anymore, so he lay down in the yard and fell asleep.
In the early morning, before dawn, Tong Yan walked to the door of the yard carrying a basket.
Seeing Xiao Zhan lying on the ground in the courtyard, Tong Yan hurriedly ran in and helped Xiao Zhan to sit down on the stone bench.
"Xiao Zhan, are you okay?"
Xiao Zhan slowly opened his eyes, smiled and shook his head:...
"I'm fine, why are you here?"
Tong Yao awkwardly handed the basket to Xiao Zhan, which contained some fruits and cakes, as well as two small jars of wine.
"I forgot that you can't practice now and need food to replenish your strength."
Xiao Zhan thanked him, he was indeed very hungry.
