"Get up, get up quickly." Liu Qingyi was woken up by a burst of hurried shouting in his sleep, "The sect just issued a notice that there will be a Dharma conference tomorrow. You and I will go to the Heavenly Beast Hall to help."
When he opened his eyes, he saw that Xu Xiangying had returned at some point, stretching out a hand to shake himself.
When he heard that the sect's Dharma conference was about to be held, he felt no sleep at all. He turned over and got up from the bed, saying excitedly: "Really?"
He had been looking forward to this sect's ceremony for a long time, all because he still had expectations for the basic skills and beast control skills of the Heavenly Beast Sect, and for a moment he forgot the feeling of disappointment he had felt in the past few days.
He got up and followed Xu Xiangying happily to the Heavenly Beast Hall. Seeing that the floor in the hall had been swept, he followed Xu Xiangying's instructions and moved a hundred chairs from a warehouse on the west side, and arranged them one by one in the lobby facing south and north. Then he went up to the meeting hall on the second floor and moved a long table down, and placed it on the other side of the lobby facing north and south.
When everything was ready, Xu Xiangying took Liu Qingyi and explained: "Although you are a disciple in gray clothes, you are also a new disciple in this spirit selection ceremony. You should carefully study the basic immortal skills taught at this ceremony. Memory. The sect’s teaching ceremony only happens once every few years. If there are any omissions, I’m afraid it will be several years before the next meeting.”
After he finished speaking, he lifted up his left sleeve, revealing a gray ring on his wrist, and pointed, "Do you know what this is?"
Liu Qingyi looked at it and shook his head repeatedly.
Xu Xiangying said solemnly: "This is a beast spirit ring. In this kind of initiation ceremony for new disciples, every new disciple will get one. The one I have in my hand is what I got when I started. This is also our heavenly beast." The sign of a disciple."
Liu Qingyi looked at the gray ring on Xu Xiangying's hand and thought, "The material is just like a jade bracelet." He asked, "What's the use of this thing?"
Xu Xiangying gently rubbed the gray ring with one hand, with a precious expression on his face, "This ring is a magic weapon specially given by the sect. In the future, capturing fairy beasts, imprinting beast souls, and practicing the spirit control technique will all depend on it."
"I wonder when I, a registered disciple in gray clothes, will get one of these things?" Liu Qingyi said with some uncertainty.
"Everyone who enters the Heavenly Beast Sect will have this. Although you have been a gray-clothed deacon since you first entered, you are still considered a new disciple who has been chosen by the spirit. You will naturally be indispensable in tomorrow's teaching ceremony." Xu Xiangying said confidently. .
"That's pretty much it." A smile appeared on Liu Qingyi's face, and he reached out to touch the ring on Xu Xiangying's wrist, feeling that his hand was extremely smooth.
Xu Xiangying smiled and patted away his hand covering the ring, then flicked the ring on his wrist with his finger and said, "You have to watch it."
The ring burst out with gray light, expanded several times in an instant, came out from the wrist, and flew around the Heavenly Beast Hall for several large circles. As Xu Xiangying flipped his fingers, he flipped up and down and struck. trend.
After a while, another arc was drawn, flying straight to the outside of the Heavenly Beast Hall, and violently smashing a piece of bluestone on the roadside.
Xu Xiangying flicked his wrist and flexed his fingers. As the ring returned rapidly, there was a faint whistling sound.
"It's interesting, let me play with it." Seeing the ring shrinking again and returning to Xu Xiangying's hand, Liu Qingyi couldn't help but reach out to grab it.
Xu Xiangying's hand shook slightly, and the ring was magically put on his wrist. It was as stable as if it was grown in the flesh, and it could not move no matter how Liu Qingyi pulled it.
Seeing Liu Qingyi stop with a frustrated look on his face, Xu Xiangying laughed and said: "This beast spirit ring is not something you can play with if you want. You should wait and think about it after the transfer ceremony." He said Then he sighed softly and said: "It's a pity that I have carried this spiritual ring with me for several years, but I have never practiced the ring technique to cooperate with it."
The two stood talking for a while. Xu Xiangying saw that Liu Qingyi was starting to lose interest, so he asked him to go back to his residence first. He stood in front of the hall and waited for a while. An internal affairs deacon came and called him out, and they went to Beast Spirit County together. Buy things for the sect.
Liu Qingyi stayed in Datongpu's room all afternoon, playing with the little civet. He was a little greedy for the animal spirit ring, and even more yearned for the Kung Fu ceremony.
He thought that the way Xu Xiangying manipulated the spirit ring was the same as how he used the cyan flying sword, so he released the flying sword from the sword pouch and guided it to fly around the room, thinking: "I don't know what the spirit ring is like with me." Which flying sword is more powerful? I am sure that the spirit ring must also be a good magic weapon."
This went on until night. When Xu Xiangying came back, everyone in the house had fallen asleep. Liu Qingyi wanted to talk to him, but she heard someone calling him in a low voice outside. Xu Xiangying sighed softly, dragged his buttocks that were still warm from sitting, turned around and walked out again.
The next morning, Liu Qingyi got up early and saw Xu Xiangying, who had always gotten up early, lying on the side sleeping soundly, but did not wake him up. One person hurriedly got down from the bunk, and when he arrived at the Heavenly Beast Hall, it was already crowded with people.
Liu Qingyi stood in a corner of the hall and saw two acquaintances, the Feng family brothers, who hurriedly came forward to greet them warmly. However, the two of them were not very grateful and nodded briefly and walked away.
He knew in his heart that the two of them disliked his identity as a gray-clothed disciple, so he didn't take it seriously. He still retreated to where he was and stood there waiting.
After waiting for a while, Xu Xiangying walked into the hall with his head drooped and stood next to him.
"Where were you last night? You just entered the house and then went out. You didn't come back for a long time." Liu Qingyi looked at him and asked.
"Deacon Shen from the inner sect asked me to help take care of some things. Alas, I didn't come back until midnight." Xu Xiangying yawned.
"Next time, take me with you. I want to visit the inner gate." Liu Qingyi said expectantly.
"You want to go? Why are you going to the inner gate? Does that place have anything to do with you? What's there to see?" Xu Xiangying said gloomily.
"You're a genius. If you don't take it with you, don't take it with you. What's the point?" Liu Qingyi scolded and replied.
Less than half an hour later, the chairs in front of the hall were filled with people. Almost all the Tsing Yi disciples from Lingxiu Valley were present. In addition to the new disciples, many old disciples also followed, all wanting to relive it. Basic exercises to make up for mistakes and omissions that were not understood before.
After a while, a short, fat old man arrived with a disciple in purple clothes and walked to the long table in the hall to take a seat.
Liu Qingyi recognized this old man as the elder He who he had met at the mountain gate, He Yuanji, one of the four elders. The purple-clothed disciple following him was none other than Li Xiangyu and Li Li who he had met at the entrance. Senior sister.
Seeing the arrival of these two people, Xu Xiangying hurriedly took Liu Qingyi to the tea room next door and made tea with a snap of the fire.
After a while, the two brought a pot of spiritual tea and two tea bowls to the long table, and brewed a bowl for He Yuanji and Li Xiangyu each.
Li Xiangyu took out a piece of cloth from his arms and began to call out his name. The Tsing Yi disciples whose names were called came to the long table one by one and took a gray ring from his hand.
Liu Qingyi saw Li Xiangyu holding out rings from his empty hand like a magic trick. He couldn't help but poke his head around Li Xiangyu's back and armpits, and said in wonder: "This is the so-called She has a beast spirit ring, and I haven’t seen her carrying any bags or anything like that, so where did she get so much out of it?”
Xu Xiangying on the side smiled and said: "It's rare to see something strange. As time goes by, you will know what's going on."
The new Tsing Yi disciples each received a spirit ring and kept playing with it in their hands. They were all very interested.
Li Xiangyu read to the end, glanced at Liu Qingyi who was standing in the corner, and said in a long voice: "Liu Qingyi, the new registered disciple of Huiyi in Lan County, come forward."
Seeing Liu Qingyi dressed in gray trotting up and taking a ring from Li Xiangyu's hand, many of the Tsing Yi disciples looked puzzled and began to talk about it.
Seeing everyone's reaction, Li Xiangqi pursed his lips and smiled and said: "Because this person was kicked out due to a foul at the Soul Selection Ceremony, he was admitted as a disciple by Elder Nie. As a registered disciple, he is regarded as a new disciple from the gray-clothed disciple ceremony."
After Li Xiangyu explained this, everyone in the four seats looked at Liu Qingyi with different expressions on their faces, some were indifferent, some were confused, and most of them had contempt on their faces.
Liu Qingyi's face was filled with shame. After receiving the spirit ring, she bowed and walked out, then stood at the outermost edge. She lowered her head and said nothing, and said bitterly in her heart: "This woman is so unnecessary. Although she said It’s all true, but no matter how you listen to it, it sounds like you’re deliberately making fun of yourself.”
He cursed for a long time, and when he saw that the elders in front of the long table had begun to teach him skills, he put aside his thoughts and listened carefully.
He Yuanji said: "My Heavenly Beast Sect practices in the way of channeling spirits. The basic technique within the sect is called the Xutian Yuling Jue. This technique is divided into two parts: the Xutian Kung Fu and the Yuling Jue. The front part is the Xutian Kungfu cultivation body. The rear part of the Spirit Control Technique is used to refine the animal body. The two merge into one and complement each other. This is the unique secret technique of our Heavenly Beast Sect."
"The front part of Xutian Gong is divided into Lingfu Chapter, Tongyuan Chapter, Sanyang Chapter, Ningdan Chapter and Zifu Chapter. The initial Lingfu Chapter is also called the entry-level Immortal Technique of our sect. The rear part is the Spirit Control Technique. Learn both the art of controlling spirits and the method of nourishing spirits. The spirit is the soul of the beast. The meaning of controlling spirits is to communicate with the souls of strange beasts in mountains and rivers and imprint them in the spirit rings, so that they can be controlled; the meaning of nourishing spirits is to pass through the souls. The seal enables him to learn the spiritual nourishing method of this sect and advance to his realm.”
"According to the sect's rules, the chapters above the Xutian Kung Yuan realm and the second half of the Yuling Jue will be taught by the masters of each peak personally after you are promoted to inner disciples. This time I will pass on to you the Xutian Kung Fu Spirit Forging and the Yuling Jue. In the first half of the Spirit Technique, this technique is a secret that is not taught by our Heavenly Beast Sect. You must not leak it to others, nor may you teach or receive it privately. Once any disciple is found to have violated this rule, he will be punished for the crime of treason. Everyone Remember."
When Liu Qingyi heard this, he couldn't help but take a deep breath and lamented the sect's strict rules. He finally understood why Xu Xiangying didn't teach him this skill. After all, the crime of betraying the sect was not a small crime.
He Yuanji took a sip from the tea bowl on the table, moistened his throat, and said: "The so-called spirit forging means cultivating one's own spiritual energy. At this stage, one needs to use exercises to cleanse the tendons and cut the marrow, to access one's own tendons, and to cultivate them with the body. More spiritual energy, in order to reach the realm of extreme energy and vitality. The method and formula of this sect's Xutian Kung Ling Forging is: the virtual top of heaven and earth, the six degrees of transformation, the eight meridians wander, the nine tendons cut and wash, the ears and eyes are connected, the virtual and the real are connected, Tantian awakens consciousness, Xuanmen is enlightened, the hands and feet are connected together, the mouth and nose are ringed, the three elements are intertwined, and the ten fingers twist the pot."
After He Yuanji finished reciting the mantra, he clicked with both hands, forming a pattern of light and shadow in the air in front of him. He pointed at the spiritual diagram in the air and said: "This is the spiritual diagram of the operation of the Ling Forging Technique. Everyone must remember it carefully and make no mistakes."
All the newly promoted Tsing Yi disciples around them stared at the spiritual diagram floating in the air with their eyes wide open, memorizing it silently.
Liu Qingyi stood on the outside, leaning on his feet and craning his neck to look at the diagram, and he memorized the movement route in detail.
He Yuanji waited until everyone had memorized the spiritual diagram, then repeated the previous formula to let everyone deepen their memory, and then he didn't say a word for a long time, just serving tea and drinking tea by himself.
After a long time, He Yuanji raised his head to look at the sky, stood up and said, "That's it for today's teaching. You can memorize and understand what was taught today, and then go back and figure it out for half a day. If there is anything obscure or difficult to understand, you can explain it to me tomorrow." I’m asking.”
As soon as He Yuanji and Li Xiangyu left, all the disciples in green also left in twos and threes.
Liu Qingyi followed Deacon Xu to clear away the teapots and bowls on the long table, wipe the tables and chairs, and sweep the lobby.
At night, lying on the Datong bunk, Liu Qingyi touched the gray animal spirit ring on his hand and pondered the Xutian Kung Fu he had just learned with great interest, and did not fall asleep until late at night.
