In the next few days, Zhang Yan deliberately concentrated on sensing and found that he often felt like being watched not only in the open air, but also in the house.
It could be a cat squatting on the wall, a dog running by the roadside, or a bird on the treetops. Even mice and bugs in the house...
To say it is pervasive is an understatement.
At first, Zhang Yan didn't know how to respond. Later, I would honestly set up a blindfold in the room so that I could have a quiet cultivation environment.
Now Zhang Yan has understood that the ghosts in the Wild Sky Realm are not in a state of ignorance. They have their own practice lineage. It may be different from the ghost cultivators who appeared in the legendary era on earth, but the essence is the same. They all strengthen themselves by absorbing evil spirits and devouring souls, and pursue power in the gap between heaven and earth with a different path of cultivation than that of living beings.
The female ghost in red demonstrated the transformation of her soul body into a weapon, and the two ghost cultivators later demonstrated a higher level of use of similar methods.
At that time, Zhang Yan felt that this could actually show that the path taken by ghost cultivators in the Wild Sky Realm was very similar to that of warriors. And whether it's the female ghost in red or the ghost cultivator behind, their fights are almost all close-quarters fighting, and they can't add some innate abilities such as ghost claws, ghost roars, possession, illusions, etc. . I haven't seen anything similar to Taoist magic.
Now Zhang Yan discovered that he had thought the ghost cultivators in the Wild Sky Territory were too simple. It's not that he doesn't know how to do it, it's just that he has no knowledge. The all-pervasive prying that had annoyed him for days was completely similar to Taoism. Because he was driving various animals, although he didn't know the origin of the method, Zhang Yan couldn't help but think of a branch of Taoist methods that was recorded in Longhu Mountain, but had no related cultivation path: beast control.
Zhang Yan had not touched Wu Yuan before, he just wanted to see what other tricks the ghost hidden behind him had. It's like exploring the dark corners of this world. You can't always go there with a light on, because if there is a light, you will be far away. Only like a nighthawk can you see clearly.
To be honest, Zhang Yan, who has now mastered Tao Dan, no longer takes the Wu family as seriously as he did before. What he is more curious about now is the power behind the Wu family.
The Wu family is definitely not the only lineage of psychics in the world. Does that mean that other families of psychic mediums live in collusion with ghosts like the Wu family?
Also, using the Wu family as a starting point, no matter those ghost girls, female ghosts, or the ghost cultivators who came after them, as well as the mysterious existence that now uses weird methods to peek at Zhang Yan. These are connected together to form a complete set of contexts, and the relationship between the upper and lower levels can even be clearly distinguished. This shows that ghosts, including psychics like the Wu family, already have a tight organization.
Could it be those ghost cultivating sects from the Earth Legend Era?
Or maybe it's a ghost mansion?
But whether it is a ghost mansion or a ghost cultivator sect, judging from the sinister aura of the two ghost cultivator generals before, it is absolutely not surprising that a ghost at the level of a ghost king will appear. This may not have been good news for Zhang Yan before, but now the situation is different.
Zhang Yan formed a Taoist elixir and entered the Taoist elixir realm.
It’s just a big realm, is it so serious?
It’s really amazing!
There are many descriptions of the Dao Dan realm and related stories in the Longhu Mountain Miscellaneous Notes. To sum up, there is only one sentence: since cultivating Taoism, entraining qi is the starting point, and only by forming Tao elixir can it be officially distinguished from the ordinary world.
"If you take the Dao Pill, you will have a life span of more than 360 years. You can control the five elements and perform the art of turning rivers and seas upside down."
This was not something Zhang Yan said casually, but was mentioned many times in the classics and books in Longhu Mountain. It’s the Dao Dan realm. I would like to ask, can a person with a life span of 360 years still be considered a mortal? Of course it doesn't count. Therefore, monks who reach the Dao Dan realm will have another name: Zhenren.
If Zhang Yan were in the Earth's legendary era now, he could barely be called a "real person".
As for Zhang Yan's confidence, besides the sudden increase in his lifespan, there was another big change since he settled down to Dao Dan. That is "controlling the five elements". Whether it was in the Qi-Entraining Realm before or in the Xuan Vein Realm later, although the spiritual energy was growing, the methods that could be used were actually very different from the Five Elements of Heaven and Earth. At most, it's like a spiritual fire talisman that relies on the power of the five elements to be attached to the talisman paper.
But now, Zhang Yan can practice many more techniques. The power is by no means comparable to those I have dabbled in before.
Let's not go too far, let's just say that he now relies on the Shenfa Shenbu. To put it bluntly, it is just a light body technique. Even if Zhang Yan later added some theories about escape techniques to enhance it, it is still compared to the real The Five Elements Escape Technique is always different from heaven to earth.
Now that Zhang Yan has officially passed the threshold of the Dao Dan realm, "controlling the five elements" means that he can start practicing the five elements techniques, including the five elements escape technique.
Let’s not talk about anything else, and there’s no rush. The earth escape method and the wood thunder method were both practiced by Zhang Yan since the first day he entered the realm of Tao Dan.
The method of earth escape is the most widely used. You can escape anywhere you set your feet, and you can travel thousands of miles in an instant. Of course, it is rare for Zhang Yan to be able to escape more than ten feet in an instant. In fact, he can only move three or two feet at a time with Earth Escape, so he is a beginner and has not yet mastered it. Therefore, this cannot be called Zhang Yan's confidence.
What Zhang Yan can really master is the wood thunder method.
The five elements of heaven and earth are metal, wood, water, fire and earth. Thunder belongs to wood among the five elements. Therefore, if you want to practice Thunder Method, you must be familiar with the basic context of Five Elements Wood Method.
At the same time, it is difficult to control the thunder method. Because it is not the art of correcting the five elements, but the art of deriving the five elements, and the thunder is violent and extremely yang, it is even more difficult to control. With Zhang Yan's current level of cultivation, he can only find another way to master the thunder method. If he wants to use thunder with one hand, he is still far away.
Simply Zhang Yan still has the talisman. A "Thunder Drawing Talisman" that can be drawn at the Dao Dan level, plus some key points of the wood attribute thunder method, the two together can barely make him turn the corner of the thunder.
With Thunder, Zhang Yan is really not afraid when facing ghosts, even if the opponent is most likely a ghost king. He also has the strength to fight.
in addition. Another reason why Zhang Yan is so calm now, leisurely spending time with the opponent instead of actively testing is that after entering the Dao Dan realm, his spiritual energy has become more condensed, and the envoys can be more able to communicate with each other. Control the subtle changes. At the same time, his alchemy skills, which were still a little underdeveloped, were pushed forward a lot.
Before, he barely managed to complete the refining process of the 70% Biqing Dan, but now he can complete the elixir formula from beginning to end. The only difference was Cheng Dan's luck and Cheng Dan's success rate.
So he is not afraid of consumption. The longer it takes, the better his alchemy skills will become. As long as he refines a green pill, he will not be able to defeat a ghost king. He can only use the green pill to defeat the "divine descending technique".
