He carefully observed his surroundings and saw that the sky in the distance was unusually blue, and in the white mist, the shadows of mountains and rivers flickered. The forest nearby was eerily quiet. There were no birds or animals, not even a living creature.
After a few breaths, the intermittent mysterious fairy sounds sounded again, like whispers in a dream, like weeping and complaining. Liu Qingyi wanted to hear them clearly, but felt that the pronunciations were obscure and hazy, and he had not heard them at all. of any language.
Following the simple rhythm brought by these fairy sounds, he faintly felt something indescribable washing his heart, and his consciousness felt clear, and his vision also greatly increased.
Looking further into the forest, my sight pierced through the cloud barrier for a moment, and I suddenly saw several mountain peaks shrouded in colorful clouds standing at the far end, with golden light shining through the overlapping peaks. However, underneath the mountains was a vast expanse of white, as if they were surrounded by clouds. The lonely mountain peaks are covered with several white skirts.
Liu Qingyi took a closer look, and then realized that the white dress was not a white dress, but a mountain of bones, many huge skeletons, hardly looking like human remains.
There was a sudden thought in his heart, and he felt the fairy sound in his ears suddenly stop. His consciousness was in a trance, and then his vision went dark. When he opened his eyes again, he had returned to the space at the bottom of the lake.
After his spiritual consciousness returned to his body, Liu Qingyi felt that his eyes and ears were new. His senses and touch actually extended beyond the space at the bottom of the lake. He could clearly see where there were fish and water plants in the lake.
What is even more magical is that the fine gold and iron gravels and other objects scattered in the lake can be easily detected and sensed by it, and it seems that it can be vaguely mobilized.
"Tongyuan Realm? Did I break through?" Liu Qingyi's head felt hot. After looking inside, he saw a pot-shaped golden protrusion suddenly appeared in his dantian, and the sharp golden elemental power in it was clearly visible. It seems that as long as the thought moves, it will stab anywhere.
The green spirit ring on his hand seemed to grow on his own hand at this moment, and it seemed that it could change its shape and structure with just a thought.
Liu Qingyi's heart moved, and he released the flying sword from his sword pouch. He used the Spiritual Forging Stage swordsmanship he had learned from the booklet in the past, and found that the power of the sword now increased several times, which was no longer the same as before. .
The golden energy in the flying sword was touched by his consciousness, so that although the sword body was several feet away from the body, it still seemed to be growing in his hand, and it truly acted like an arm.
The next moment, Liu Qingyi looked around and felt that the space of this square stone niche looked narrow, but in fact it was very large. Many magical spells could not damage the space here, and they could not harm the stone niche at all. This was his I already knew this when I was practicing small fairy skills and basic swordsmanship in the past.
Then he mobilized his body's energy to continuously try out various small fairy techniques, all of which were extremely powerful, countless times more powerful than those in the spiritual forging stage.
After playing this game for several rounds, he remembered that he had been at the bottom of the lake for so many days and that he might have already passed the ten days promised by Qu Liangjun to return to the sect. He couldn't help but worry about it: "Anyway, it's too late to go back now. If you take this opportunity to practice the Great Daphne Sword Sutra and practice it again after returning home, you may attract people's attention."
After thinking about it like this, he took out the scripture from his spiritual ring and began to ponder it with eyes and heart beating.
There are three styles of swordsmanship in the Tongyuan Realm swordsmanship of the Great Daphne Sword Sutra, namely the first style: Sparks Set a Prairie Fire, the second style Immortal Luo Yishu, and the third style Wind Mill Wheel.
After a while, Liu Qingyi released the flying sword and began to practice the first style of 'Sparking Fire to Start a Prairie Fire'. This style uses a huge amount of gold energy to inject high-level flying swords, and then triggers a dense fire with the potential to start a prairie fire. attack.
He tried it a few times, but found that this style of swordsmanship was ordinary, and its power was not much better than the swordsmanship at the Spiritual Forging Stage, or even less powerful.
Feeling puzzled for a while, he picked up the Sword Sutra booklet and read it carefully. After a few breaths, he sat on the ground blankly, and his face began to become cloudy and uncertain.
It turns out that there is a very small section of this sutra with annotations at the bottom, which clearly states that the Great Daphne Sword Sutra is an ancient thing, and its practice is no longer suitable for today's immortal monks. Therefore, the technique has a fatal flaw, whether it is practice or execution. , all require a large amount of spiritual energy as support.
I think this footnote should have been left by someone who has practiced this sutra. According to the subsequent more detailed explanation, this sutra, as an ancient immortal swordsmanship, was established with reference to the spiritual energy-rich world in ancient times. For today's immortal world, this is really The useless swordsmanship skills are just because the spiritual energy of heaven and earth today is much inferior to the spiritual energy of heaven and earth in ancient times.
This kind of swordsmanship requires a huge amount of spiritual energy as a basis for both practice and performance. Not only does it require extremely high concentrations of spiritual energy in the cave, but it is also a burden for individuals to perform. An individual alone cannot sustain the long-term consumption of this kind of swordsmanship. .
He reluctantly used the flying sword several times, but it was just a few empty rounds. After playing for a long time, he still made no progress. Just when he was wondering what to do, he suddenly remembered something.
"Ling Yuan Stone! How could I forget this thing?" Liu Qingyi thought to himself, thinking that Lin Yuan Stone is also a thing that has a great concentration of spiritual energy. It is said that they are all psychic objects collected from the spirit stone veins. "If you use the Spiritual Essence Stone to assist you in practicing the 'Sparking Fire', will it be effective?"
With this thought in his mind, his hands moved. He took out seven or eight spirit essence stones from the spirit ring and placed them on the ground in front of him. He held up the Lingbao Flying Sword with one hand and performed the 'Catching Fire to Start a Prairie Fire' starting move. Several times in a row, but no success was achieved.
"Is it because there are too few spirit stones?" He thought for a moment, then poured out all the more than 10,000 spirit stones remaining in the spirit ring and piled them into a small mountain in the space at the bottom of the lake.
Performing the "Catching Fire" gesture again, I saw a flash of white light in front of my eyes, and the flying sword suddenly disappeared from the air, turning into dots of fireflies, covering almost half of the space in front of me, and then disappeared with only a slight flash.
Dots of fluorescent lights appeared in the air, and they slashed towards the water curtain in front of them. They saw that the water flow in a large space outside the light shell was cut into a vacuum, and the traces of water vapor were lingering, with a faint glow of fire. , as if a huge pit collapsed and could not be closed for a long time.
At the bottom of the lake, one corner of the mountain-like spirit stones turned into powder and drifted away in the wind. Liu Qingyi was greatly surprised. After counting carefully, a thousand spirit stones had disappeared.
It takes one thousand spirit essence stones to create a Great Daphne Sword Style. According to this calculation, any number of moves used in a fight will cost at least several thousand Spirit Essence Stones. Besides, the last few moves of the Great Daphne Sword will probably consume a lot of energy. It’s more than a thousand spiritual essence stones. From this point of view, this Great Daphne Sword Sutra is simply a living giant gold-swallowing beast.
Thinking of the cost of the Great Daphne Sword Sutra, it seems that I can't afford it with my current wealth. Although the first style of 'Sparking Fire' is indeed very powerful, it consumes one thousand spiritual essence stones just for testing and not against the enemy. , it’s really painful.
After a while, Liu Qingyi took the little civet out of the space at the bottom of the lake and returned to 'Liu Xuan' to rest for a while.
The moonlight here was so beautiful that the little civet jumped up to the roof and breathed out for half a night under the moonlight. Suddenly, it broke through to the state of "inhalation and inhalation". Its body had the ability to change and fly, and its body grew as big as a balloon. We flew around the big lake several times and had a great time.
The next day, Liu Qingyi sat in Liuxuan with a pensive look on his face. He counted on his fingers and found that a hundred days had passed since he opened Juntian City. He had been away from the sect for so long, but he had not followed Qu Liangjun's instructions. The senior brother was told to return to the sect within ten days, which made him feel a little nervous.
He then thought about it, he had already broken through to the Tongyuan realm within a day. Even if it took a lot of time to return to the sect in this realm, it was an unexpected surprise for the sect. Maybe the sect would no longer be there. He held himself responsible for not returning to his sect for a long time.
After a while, Liu Qingyi went out to say goodbye to everyone in Humiao Village. Luo'er and Tianbao felt a little baffled when they saw that Liu Qingyi had not seen him for a long time, and now he showed up to say goodbye. Everyone in Humiao Village had already seen Liu Qingyi's way of coming and going, and felt that his pretentious farewell was unnecessary.
Liu Qingyi returned home anxiously. After saying goodbye to everyone, he didn't stay too long. He picked up the cymbal Lanyi and flew into the sky. It turned into a white rainbow and flew towards the north. After a while, he disappeared from everyone's eyes.
When passing through the Mangdang Mountains, he thought that little civets like to eat the crystal cores of monsters. There may be many monsters in this Mangdang Mountain. Considering that the little civet is now in the swallowing realm, it should be effortless to deal with these monsters. Drive up the cymbal Lanyi and go down.
As soon as he landed on the ground, he sent a message to the little civet with his soul chain, letting it run around in the vast mountains without rest.
