Two days later, Qian Meier followed Mrs. Shangyuan to practice in seclusion. Before the retreat, she took Ling Ning to a small building on the peak, which was full of books.
"These are the classics that grandma brought from outside the territory. They are all related to formations. You can read them if you find them interesting."
Ling Ning recalled the mysterious formation she used when she had a fight with the Shangqing disciples, and happily agreed.
In the next two months, Ling Ning read books about formations in the morning, studied martial arts in the afternoon, and practiced every day until all the true energy in his body was exhausted before he meditated and performed exercises to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. Such training was a fulfilling life.
It was late winter in the blink of an eye, and there was heavy snowfall every day. Ling Ning was doing the exercises cross-legged, and suddenly the true energy surged in his body. He concentrated and calmed down, and after 72 weeks of performing the exercises, the spiritual energy from the entire mountain peak rushed into his body. He quickly put it into his body. The spiritual energy was introduced into the sea of qi. By the time he completed his exercise, it was already the morning of the third day, and his cultivation had also reached the late stage of pill building.
This sudden improvement surprised him. He thought it was because of the rapid daily consumption and the abundant spiritual energy of this mountain. He absorbed the spiritual energy of heaven and earth "hungryly" every day, or maybe there was still some untransformed true energy left in the sea of shock. Yuan, many factors combined to achieve this breakthrough. But he also knew that if he continued to use his skills to absorb spiritual energy, he would probably have little effect, and he would need to find another way to break through.
At this time, he suddenly discovered that the palace owner had quietly appeared at some point. She transformed into a "thumb girl" and floated in the air, staring at the goose feather snow outside the pavilion in a daze.
"Palace Master, I haven't seen you for a long time, why are you willing to come out by yourself?"
The palace owner rolled her eyes at him and said angrily: "Do you think I am willing to stay in the source space every day? It's not because of your poor strength that I can't stay outside for a long time."
Ling Ning smiled bitterly and said, "I'm really sorry. I just have something to ask you. Can I practice the Divine Transformation Art to the next level?"
The palace master stretched out his snow-white little finger and said, "Not yet. I'm just about to tell you that if you want to practice the next level of spirit transformation, you need to prepare something."
"what?"
"Monster essence blood, well, it doesn't need to be too high. Level 5 monster blood is enough."
"Level 5 monsters are equivalent to monks in the elixir formation stage. There should be no monsters of this level in the mortal world... Besides, monsters of the same level are several times stronger than monks. Can I handle it?"
"Don't you have a friend at the auction? Just ask her to help you get it. They are rare on the Mortal Continent, but there are many on the Fairy Dust Continent. She should have a way."
Ling Ning thought of Lingxi, whom she had not contacted yet. Did Lingbao Pavilion have a branch in Fairy Dust Continent? They could ask her for help.
The palace master suddenly stared at him, which made Ling Ning a little uncomfortable.
"You...why are you looking at me like this? Is there something on my face?"
The palace owner shook his head and said, "I honestly don't know why I want to punch you. Wouldn't you mind?"
Ling Ning was stunned for a moment, and then said: "It's weird if you don't mind!"
"But I really want to, maybe it can remind me of something..."
Ling Ning put on an expression that was weird if I believed you, "Do I annoy you so much? Did we have a holiday before?"
"I can't say I hate it, but I always feel that there are some nameless grievances that I can't vent... I suggest you seriously consider it."
Ling Ning looked at her serious look and had to say: "It's not impossible for you to give me a beating, but I'm curious about what Taoist skills you used that day? Did you actually suck up the true essence of Soul-Destroying Soul? Even the Heaven-Devouring Demonic Technique Can’t I help you?”
The Palace Master said disdainfully: "The Heaven-Devouring Demon Technique is nothing. This kind of thing is just a child's trick in front of me. Well... I can tell you what the Taoism is that day. You are ready for me to punch you." Yet?"
"I really can't do anything to you, you have to be gentle... Ouch!"
Before he finished speaking, he felt a pain on the right side of his face, and then he flew out and hit a big tree full of snow. Large chunks of snow from the tree fell mercilessly and buried him completely. Go in.
"Hahahahaha!"
The palace master's silver bell-like laughter came to my ears.
"Please, I'm not ready yet! You're going too far... at least say it again..."
Ling Ning crawled out of the snow in embarrassment. He wanted to complain a few words, but he saw the palace master smiling happily, like an innocent little girl. He thought to himself: "If I can make her so happy, even if I give her a hundred What’s wrong with punching?”
The palace owner laughed heartily for a while, but when he saw that he was still not getting up, he said, "What? Did the beating hurt you?"
Ling Ning came to his senses. He got up and brushed the snow off his body. "This little strength can't hurt me. Are you in a better mood?"
The Palace Master took a deep breath and said, "It's much better. It seems that you have let out a breath of resentment. If I had known you were fine, I would have tried harder."
"Then do you want to come again?"
"That's not necessary. Are you addicted?"
"How is that possible! I just want to make you happy. To be honest, it seems like this is the first time I've seen you smile so freely."
The palace owner returned to his usual laziness, "Really? I may have been locked up for too long. It would be nice if I could get some air."
"Don't worry, I will practice hard for this goal! So what method did you use that day?"
The palace master gently performed a sword technique, "This is the 'Way of Gods and Ghosts'!"
Obviously this was a vocabulary that Ling Ning had never heard of. He walked back to the pavilion and sat opposite the palace owner, asking, "What is the 'way of gods and ghosts'?"
"The 'Tao of Gods and Ghosts' is the foundation of all Tao. Ghosts are yin and gods are yang. It can also be called 'Yin and Yang Tao'. As the old saying goes, 'one yin and one yang are called Tao', '(yin and yang) two qi interact and metamorphose. All things'."
Ling Ning nodded as if he understood something, "Then how do you practice the way of gods and ghosts? Can you master the way of gods and ghosts to 'transform all things'?"
"Theoretically, this is true, but no one has dared to say the word 'master' since the beginning of the world. Now this Taoist technique has almost been lost. It can be said that all good and evil Taoism in the world are just derivatives of it."
"Why is such a powerful Taoist technique almost lost? Is this Taoist technique difficult to practice?"
"The Great Way and the Dharma will not be passed on to those who are not gifted, and will not be passed on unless they are destined. From the beginning of the world to today, those who have been lucky enough to hear these three words have been rare, and those who have been able to see them with their own eyes are even rarer, let alone practice them. Get one or two of these spells.”
"I wonder if I have the opportunity to practice this method?"
The palace owner gave him a meaningful look and said, "If you want to practice, you should first pass the entrance level. If you are really destined, it is not impossible to learn one or two."
Ling Ning was overjoyed and quickly asked how to get started.
"First, you must first understand that everything in the world is divided into yin and yang, there is yang in yin, there is yin in yang, and the qi is in harmony. The first thing you must do is to be proficient in the five elements of Taoism, distinguish yin and yang, and control it freely. Entered the door."
"I am already very proficient in Five Elements Taoism."
"Proficient? Humph, according to the standards of the human world, the Five Elements Escape Technique is divided into four levels: "Gathering, Spirit, Immortal, and God". To what extent can you use it?"
"I...I can only go to 'Ju'..."
"How dare you say you are proficient? You are not required to be 'immortal', at least you have to be 'spirit', and it has all attributes. Whether it is the Five Elements Escape Technique or wind, thunder, rain, snow and ice... you have to be 'spirit' Only at a certain level can one be considered proficient.”
"This...how can this be done?"
You must know that ordinary monks may take a lifetime to master one or two attributes of Taoism, because most monks are limited by their own "spiritual roots" and not all elements can be mastered at their fingertips.
"If you can't do it, then give up. This Taoist art is not something that just a three-legged cat can practice."
This sentence aroused the arrogance in Ling Ning's heart. After all, he has been called a "genius" since he was a child. Moreover, he was born with "Heavenly Spirit Root" and has a very strong perception of all attributes. However, he has always loved sword skills and has not practiced the Five Elements Escape Technique.
"Don't worry, I can definitely do it!"
"Hmph, don't talk nonsense."
"Do what you say! Do you have any other requirements?"
"Of course there is, and secondly we must distinguish yin and yang."
"How to distinguish yin and yang?"
The palace master stretched out his palm, and a ball of flame appeared in his palm, "You see clearly, I will only demonstrate this once. The so-called separation of yin and yang is to separate the yin and yang of the true energy in the body, just like this fire..."
The flames rotated rapidly in her palm, and then turned into "yin and yang fish". Although they are both fire, they are divided into "yin fire" and "yang fire".
"There is yang in yin, yin in yang, and the qi is in harmony. Do you understand?"
Ling Ning nodded in understanding.
The palace master obviously saw that he didn't understand, and said helplessly: "You will have to run the 'Shen Transformation Art' every day from now on for the Great Zhoutian 72 and the Small Zhoutian 36, and you will have to split the true energy in your body into 'Gold, Wood, Water, Fire and Earth' Five attributes. Split and run for one day, and then aggregate and run for one week. This daily practice must not be discontinued."
Ling Ning nodded as if she understood this time.
The palace owner took one last look at the heavy snow outside the pavilion, "Ling Ning, you have to remember that the road is long and long. I hope you persevere and don't think about reaching the sky in one step."
Looking at the palace master's gradually dimming back, Ling Ning said sternly: "I'm here to teach you!"
Next, it took Ling Ning five full days to disassemble the true energy in his body according to its five attributes, and it took another three days to complete the Great Zhoutian.
In the meantime, he sent another message to Lingxi, hoping that she would help find monster blood. Lingxi readily agreed and agreed to meet in Yicheng a month later to discuss in detail.
Although he didn't understand why he needed to meet and discuss it in detail after a month, he didn't ask in detail.
For a month, he practiced with great concentration and finally became proficient in the method of moving the true energy. After that, he studied and practiced martial arts during the day, and concentrated on running the heavens at night. He vaguely felt that his control of the true energy was getting better and better. It was obvious that the palace master's teachings were effective.
In the blink of an eye, one month has arrived, and heavy snow is falling in the sky again, but the whole Yicheng City is extremely lively. Every household is decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, and passers-by are shouting "Congratulations, Congratulations, Congratulations."
Ling Ning was sitting alone in the small building looking at the bustling streets and the jubilant crowds, and then she realized that today was New Year's Eve.
Although cultivators have moved away from the fireworks of the world, mortals in Yicheng still account for the majority, so the excitement is still retained. Even many monks have joined in, and his heart has become warm unknowingly.
But when he thought of his family, his heart became cold again, as if he was the only one left in the world.
"Hey, you're early."
Ling Ning looked back and saw a beautiful girl looking at her. This girl has a small cherry mouth, bright eyes and white teeth, and is considered to be of heavenly beauty. She wore a sleek, sleek, snow-white fox fur coat with no trace of color on her upper body, and a white pleated long skirt on her lower body. The most eye-catching thing was that she wore a red cloak, embellished with snow-white fluff. The corners are like a delicate red plum in a world of white snow, which is particularly touching.
Lingxi seemed to be very satisfied with Ling Ning's "dumb" expression, she smiled sweetly and said: "What? Are you dumbfounded?
Ling Ning quickly looked away.
Lingxi added: "If I guess correctly, you should be Ling Ning, the abandoned disciple of Jian Ling Sect."
Ling Ning obviously knew that it was not difficult to know his identity with her ability, so she was not surprised at all.
"I am Ling Ning, the abandoned disciple of Jian Ling Sect. Are you afraid, young lady?"
Lingxi made a face and said: "How could I, a powerful person like Lingbao Pavilion, be afraid of just a mere person... Hehe... How could I be afraid of you? Speaking of which, I thought you would still wear a cloak today and refuse to show your face. , I didn’t expect you to be so candid.”
"Aren't you planning to hide yourself too?"
"This can reflect my intention to cooperate with Master Ling. It seems that I haven't formally introduced myself yet. The little girl Lingxi is the deputy pavilion master of Lingbao Pavilion in the Mortal Continent."
"I'm going to lower my sword... Shui Yuetian, Ling Ning."
"Did you join Shui Yuetian so soon?"
Ling Ning nodded silently. He looked at the people coming and going on the street, as if he had not yet come out of his thoughts.
"How did Mr. Ling come to Yicheng? Did it take a long time?"
Ling Ning said: "Shui Yue Tian has a 'golden eagle'. I came here on the golden eagle, which took about two hours."
Large sects like Shuiyue Sect have "stations" in many important cities. Disciples can fly to various places quickly on low-level monster golden eagles, but they must be Shuiyuetian's disciples. Before, he had There is no entrance, so I can't ride with Qianmei'er, so I can only walk back to Shuiyuetian together.
Lingxi's words were just a casual question when she had nothing to say. She looked at Ling Ning and suddenly said: "Hey, come with me!"
"Where... where are you going? We haven't talked about business yet!"
"Why worry about getting down to business! Let's talk about it when we get back!"
After saying this, Lingxi couldn't help but pull Ling Ning away.
