Leaving the antique shop, Jining was filled with joy for this achievement. I originally wanted to go shopping, but I was short of money so I returned to the inn. Jining, who has been practicing Taoism for many years, has a simple diet. Jining ate some food on the first floor of the inn.
Returning to the guest room, he asked the waiter to bring a basin of water and clean the three jade boxes. After cleaning, I found that the jade box carved from white jade was as warm as mutton fat and exuded the slightest coolness.
Jining used his clairvoyance to observe and found that there were traces of spiritual energy lingering on the warm surface of the jade box. Jining was overjoyed to see this. It seemed that this time he was what experts call a missed item.
Jining felt strange that this antique shop that few people visited could have such good things and still pile them up like garbage. In fact, if Jining knew the truth, he would definitely laugh. In fact, this shop owner turned out to be the leader of a group of tomb robbers, and they were digging graves everywhere. It's just that if you do this unscrupulous thing, you will always get retribution.
Once they encountered a huge ancient tomb with many kinds of burial objects inside, allowing them to steal many of the burial objects. Soon after, these tomb robbers died suddenly and mysteriously one after another, and even his beloved mistress could not survive. He escaped this catastrophe, but he was still lucky and survived in the end. But what happened this time made him disheartened, so he returned to the antique shop he originally opened in Antique Street to sell stolen goods, preparing to eat here and wait to die.
Jining admired the jade box in his hand and remembered the ancient sword that he bought in a store last time with the word "Yunyin" on the blade and was more than a foot long.
So he took out the rusty ancient sword wrapped in cloth strips from the package. Jining carefully observed the sword body. The word "Yunyin" seemed to have spirituality and was vaguely connected to the lines carved on the side like cloud patterns. Faintly visible. Jining's heart trembled, and he used the "Celestial Eye Technique" to observe these two words, and then there was no difference when he saw it with the "Celestial Eye Technique".
Jining looked around and couldn't tell anything, but he felt vaguely that there must be something mysterious about this sword.
Jining put the sword on the table, then poured himself a cup of tea, and drank it leisurely. Suddenly he remembered the operation method of lifting the spiritual weapon in Shanhaiqilu. With a thought in his heart, he grabbed the dagger and injected a bit of spiritual power into the dagger.
"Hey" while injecting spiritual power into the dagger, the spiritual power seemed to have entered a whirlpool and disappeared without a trace in an instant. This surprised Jining, and he also saw that there was something different about this sword. The objects Jining used to control with the object control technique in the past could usually only cover the surface of the object with spiritual power, but could not enter the interior of those objects.
This sword was different from the items he had controlled in the past, so Jining injected a little more spiritual power. Just like before, the spiritual power was instantly absorbed by the dagger without a trace. Jining felt even more strange, so he poured more spiritual power into the ancient sword. At this moment, Jining seemed to hear a "chang" sound, and then the spiritual power in his body vented out towards the dagger like a flood.
Jining's face instantly turned pale, and he quickly tried to cut off the spiritual energy pouring out of his body. However, the dagger seemed to have a spiritual body and absorbed the sudden spiritual energy.
The dagger was firmly stuck in Jining's hand. Jining felt that his whole body was weak and could not get rid of the dagger in his hand. Gradually, Jining's face became paler, and he thought that he might die after being sucked out of his spiritual power by this sword.
After an unknown amount of time, Jining heard an anxious voice echoing in his ears. Jining opened his eyes with difficulty and saw that he was lying on the floor of the room. Judging from the light seeping in from the door, it should be already afternoon.
It turned out that there was no response in the room after Jining checked in yesterday until this afternoon. The store owner was afraid that something had happened, so he asked the waiter to come and check. The waiter opened the door and saw Jining lying on the ground. He thought something bad had happened, but when he saw that the guest lying on the ground was still breathing, he felt convinced and tried to think of a way to wake Jining up.
Seeing that Jining woke up, he helped Jining to the bed and asked Jining if he needed to see a doctor. Jining shook his head, then took out some silver coins from his pocket, saying that he wanted to stay for a few more days. In the past few days, the waiter had worked hard to bring food to the room, and then asked the waiter to buy some qi-tonifying herbs such as ginseng for the extra silver coins. If you don’t have enough time and silver, look for yourself again.
The waiter looked at his physical condition and nodded in agreement without hesitation. After the waiter left, Jining struggled to sit up and meditate. After a few hours, Jining finally regained some strength. When he checked his body, Jining was about to cry but found that the spiritual power he had cultivated for many years in his dantian was gone. There is no more left, and the cultivation level has dropped from the fifth level of Qi Refining to the third level of Qi Refining.
By this time, it was getting dark, and the waiter knocked on the door again. It turned out to be the waiter bringing a basket of food.
The meal was very sumptuous. Perhaps seeing how weak Jining was, the waiter asked the chef to stew a chicken for Jining to replenish. Some medicinal materials were specially added to the stewed chicken. The fragrant aroma aroused Jining's appetite, making Jining suddenly feel hungry.
Jining started eating the food regardless of the other food. After finishing the meal, Jining was a little unsatisfied. After having a full meal and tea, Jining felt that his physical strength had been restored.
I have been practicing Taoism with my master since I was a child. Except for the last time I was seriously injured and ate the meat of a demon bear in a cave, I have been basically vegetarian.
However, eating these dishes today made him want to stop. He remembered that Shan Hai Qi Lu once mentioned that some low-level monks fell in love with the mortal world after seeing that there was no hope in practicing. It turns out that the mortal world also has its fun.
It was noon, and Master Yushan in the remote courtyard behind the Chaotian Temple had just finished meditating and was sitting on a stone bench in the courtyard. Thinking of the little Taoist priest Mingyu said last time.
So I planned to check around the thatched cottage in the back mountain to find out the details of this little Taoist priest and what he was doing in the back mountain.
So Master Yushan walked to an inconspicuous rockery in the corner of the courtyard, waved a mysterious move, and then disappeared from the rockery. It turned out that this was a restriction arranged by Master Yushan.
It didn't take long for Master Yushan to appear in front of the thatched cottage. "Hey!" Master Yushan was a little surprised to find that there were traces of residual spiritual power here. It seemed that Taoist Master Mingyu was not wrong. There was something different about this little Taoist priest. .
He continued to observe around, and after observing Master Yushan, he disappeared in front of the thatched house like a gust of wind, and then appeared on the mountain path that Jining often walked in the mountain forest. If Jining saw Master Yushan's "Wind Control Technique", he would be very envious. Master Yushan is much better at controlling the wind than Jining.
Not long after, Master Yushan appeared next to a big dry tree at the bottom of the cliff. He was a little surprised and said to himself: "It's strange that there is a Qingling fruit tree growing in this ordinary mountain forest!".
Looking at the already dry Qingling fruit tree, I felt a little depressed. Then he said to himself: "Hey, if I could have seen this Green Spirit Fruit Tree before, I would have been able to make any of my pills. But this little Taoist priest actually found this Green Spirit in this place where spiritual energy is scarce. Fruit tree, the opportunity is not shallow! However, it can be seen that this Qingling fruit tree will not bear too many Qingling fruits. It seems that this little Taoist priest also has the practice of magic, otherwise a mortal can only take a few Qingling fruits in a land lacking in spiritual energy. Can’t you enter the ranks of monks even with spiritual fruits?”
This made Master Yushan a little curious, and he also wanted to know what state this little Taoist priest had reached after obtaining the Qingling Fruit. However, he knew that the Immortal Abandoned Land lacked spiritual power, and relying only on a few Green Spirit Fruits would only allow a mortal to enter the qi training stage. Perhaps even the second level of qi training could not be reached. Could he have other opportunities?
So he closed his eyes, let go of his consciousness and felt the traces left by Jining, and soon opened his eyes. Then he used his wind control skills and headed towards the depths of the forest. "Hey, there are still lingering breaths of monsters here! Could it be?" Master Yushan arrived in front of the valley cave not long after. After taking a look at the cave, he walked straight into the cave.
Master Yushan stood in front of the spiritual spring in the cave and sighed: "This little Taoist priest has a great chance! He was able to find this spiritual spring in the land abandoned by the immortals. Although this cannot be regarded as a spiritual spring, it is just a mountain spring that contains a trace of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. But this is also a good training place!”
I am becoming more and more interested in what level Jining has reached now, but since Jining has left, Master Yushan is just curious.
Master Yushan was a little strange. He felt that the aura of the monster in the cave was extremely strong. He felt that this monster should be a second-level peak or third-level monster.
He couldn't even fight such a monster and avoid it from a distance. How could this little Taoist priest survive? Could it be that this monster was already dead after the little Taoist priest found this place?
Master Yushan thought about the way to cultivate immortality, and each monk had his own opportunity. Perhaps this was the opportunity of this little Taoist priest, so he did not dwell on it anymore. Instead, he was interested in this spiritual spring. Looking at the spiritual spring, he hesitated in his heart and felt a little helpless. Originally, he was extremely excited when he saw the Lingquan Pond. He had been having a headache that the elixir he planted lacked spiritual nourishment and was finally solved. What was depressing was that it was too far away from the Taoist temple, and he could not get back and forth with his mastery of "Wind Control Technique". It takes more than two hours. If you come here to practice, the spiritual power here is too thin.
But it didn't take long for Master Yushan to leave in a hurry, as if he had thought of something.
After a while, Master Yushan appeared in the valley again, took out many things from the storage bag, and set a ban on the valley. It didn't take long for the restriction to be laid out. After the completion, the valley seemed to disappear out of thin air, and a leafy deep forest appeared in the original valley.
In the next period of time, Master Yushan often traveled to and from the valley and planted many medicinal herbs in the valley. It seemed that he would regard the valley as his medicinal garden.
