Liu Yuan woke up.
The first thing that caught my eye was the extremely familiar Wenhui Pavilion.
It's like going back in time.
Nothing has changed.
The main peak of Lingtian Pavilion still stands proudly in the clouds, so far away. The birds outside the window are still so restless and noisy. The carved tables in Wenhui Pavilion are filled with incense, and together with the yellowed books, they exude the smell of age.
Like a dream on a summer afternoon.
Who would have thought that by the time I woke up from the dream, nearly two years had passed.
Liu Yuan sat up and stretched his limbs that had not been moved for a long time.
Like a long whale sucking water, he raised his arms and stretched comfortably.
Whoever wakes up from the big dream first will know it all my life.
…
"you're awake."
Ren Jingzong didn't know when he appeared in the pavilion, looking at him with a smile.
"Thank you Pavilion Master for your saving grace," Liu Yuan did not dare to neglect and quickly gave a big salute.
"Don't praise me." Ren Jingzong stepped aside to avoid Liu Yuan's gift. "You probably recovered on your own, and you know this too. There is no need to thank me."
"Pavilion Master..."
"Listen to me," Ren Jingzong interrupted Liu Yuan, "I have a piece of advice for you. I hope you can take it seriously."
He said seriously:
"I don't know where your spirit body came from, but it is really a great opportunity. In fact, over the past thousands of years, there have always been wise people who have tried to use true energy to transform spirits and succeeded, either as spiritual pets or as spiritual weapons. These The growth of spiritual objects depends on the growth of their masters, which is a great help. The method of transforming spirits they created also once became the most popular top secret technique.
However, as far as I know, those who can finally cultivate spiritual intelligence from those spiritual beings will most likely end up in tragedy, although their strength will soar. "Ren Jingzong's words suddenly changed, and he looked deeply at Liu Yuan,
"And is there something spiritual and intelligent already existing in your spirit body?"
"They are some unknown ants," Liu Yuan faced the Yuanying master and did not dare to hide anything. He could only answer honestly, "I don't know when they suddenly appeared from the Tianji Tu. I'm not too sure. Know their ins and outs.”
"I noticed it when I was exploring your body. If I guessed correctly," Ren Jingzong shook his head, "these creatures are the transformation of your soul. You kid is really ignorant, fearless and bold."
"No wonder..." Liu Yuan recalled all the strange things about stone ants like a revolving door: abnormal reactions to marrow cleansing, the ability to emit spiritual energy on their own, unwillingness to return to the Tianji Diagram, the ability to hide in spiritual bodies, and active help body repair, etc.
"Then why didn't I feel any discomfort when my soul was separated?" Liu Yuan wondered, "And until now, I haven't felt anything unusual."
"Perhaps the ants are too small and will not cause adverse reactions over time. Besides, you like to study the game called 'chess' and are diligent in using your brain to deduce. Your soul recovers faster than ordinary people," Ren Jingzong made his own guess.
"Then why is it harmful for this spirit to become sane?" Liu Yuan simply asked to get to the bottom of it.
"Let me tell you a story," Ren Jingzong did not answer him directly.
"Once upon a time, there was a talented and intelligent man who was skilled in the art of summoning spiritual beings. One day, he looked at himself in the mirror, and suddenly he was inspired. He actually used the art to summon himself in the mirror.
After several failed attempts, when he unexpectedly transferred his soul into the mirror, he succeeded in one fell swoop. The self in the mirror felt his will, stepped out, bowed to him, and became a spiritual servant. His abilities and cultivation are on par with his own.
He was naturally overjoyed, as this was equivalent to doubling his strength.
Just when he was getting carried away, the spiritual thing from the mirror suddenly burst out and slammed him into the other side of the mirror...
That night, his wife was going to bed when she suddenly heard a voice.
"There seems to be something ringing. Husband, listen carefully." She woke him up.
In the dead of night, a buzzing sound could be heard clearly.
"Oh, please don't worry, ma'am. That's my new treasured mirror. It's quite psychic."
Her "husband" said so.
…
After Ren Jingzong's story was finished, Liu Yuan's scalp went numb after hearing it, and he could not respond for a long time.
Oops, I'm a substitute!
The famous line echoed in his head.
"So, what's the solution?" Liu Yuan asked sincerely.
"There are two kinds, one is easy and the other is difficult." As soon as Ren Jingzong said this, he felt a little regretful. Why should I tell him the second one.
"The simple way is: I can teach you a spirit-dispersing technique. While the separated souls can still obey orders, you can disperse them all now and never summon them again. You will never have to worry about it again."
"So, what about the difficult ones?"
"The second difficult method is to establish a set of master-slave laws and strengthen them with the technique of spiritual contract. Then, the split soul will not bite back the master."
Ren Jingzong saw that Liu Yuan seemed a little tempted, and reminded him, "The reason why it is called a difficult method is because there are two difficulties:
First, you must establish a set of master-slave laws that work. This law must be kept in mind. The more complex the cause and effect relationship is, the better, and there must be no forgetfulness or mistakes.
Secondly, you must use a spiritual contract technique to strengthen it from time to time. From now on, you must never relax, unless you can one day break through the Nascent Soul and reach the state of distraction. Only then can one divide and control the soul without any trouble. Do you know how difficult it is? "
"Thank you for the reminder, Pavilion Master," Liu Yuan naturally knew what Ren Jingzong meant, but Ant was his closest comrade, so how could he let go of him so easily. He thought about it, and finally solemnly bowed to Ren Jingzong: "I know the good intentions of the Pavilion Master, but I still want to choose the difficult one."
Sure enough... Ren Jingzong sighed secretly, but when he thought of this guy's deeds in recent years, his heart moved, why not let him try?
"Okay then, I'll pass on both the Spiritual Contract Technique and the Spirit-Spreading Technique to you. I just hope that you won't be a troublemaker when the time comes. When the transformed spirit shows signs of resistance, you must rein in the situation. Remember, remember!"
Liu Yuan knew that Ren Jingzong had good intentions and thanked him repeatedly.
In the next few days, Ren Jingzong taught him the introductory techniques of spirit scattering and spirit contracting. For Liu Yuan, who was already proficient in controlling ant colonies, it was not difficult to get started with such spells, and he also gave him a lot of knowledge about channeling. inspiration and thinking.
"Pavilion Master, can I call you master?" As he became more and more familiar with Ren Jingzong in the past few days, Liu Yuan finally couldn't help but test.
"I am an idle cloud and a crane, and I have stopped accepting disciples for a long time," Ren Jingzong waved his hand, "Don't mention this matter again."
Liu Yuan thought about it. He was an expert in the Yuan Ying stage and lived in seclusion in Wenhui Pavilion. How could he be his disciple?
"However," Ren Jingzong changed the topic, "There are two things. If you can do two things, I will not accept you as a disciple, but my disciple is at the main peak and I can recommend you to join him."
"Thank you, Master!" Liu Yuan thought to himself, I should shout first and then talk.
Ren Jingzong did not correct him, but continued:
"First of all, the person who hurt you did it unintentionally. If you can do it no longer hold grudges, you should clear up your grudges with me for passing on my merits."
"No problem at all."
"Second, Mu Yuandi's original agreement was to pass the main peak selection. I want you to pass the selection and refuse any arrangement from Mu Yuandi. Then you can become my disciple."
"Disciple, obey!" Liu Yuan replied confidently.
"That's right," Ren Jingzong added the last sentence, leaving Liu Yuan stunned.
"But you need to recover quickly. You have been in a coma for more than a year this time, and there are only three months until the main peak selection."
