As Li Lingyun trained in Tianyun Academy, his strength continued to increase. Every day, he can feel his progress. On the training ground, he was like a fierce black horse, galloping across the grassland, breaking through obstacles one after another. The wind of his fist roared like a sharp knife, cutting the air, making people feel a strong sense of oppression. His steps were steady, as unshakable as a mountain. Every part of his body was full of power, as if it were a volcano that could erupt with astonishing energy at any time. His strength has reached a whole new level. In Tianyun Academy, his name became louder and louder, becoming the focus of everyone's attention.
【Cultivation Mountains】
Li Lingyun stepped into the Cultivation Mountains and was alone. He felt that the atmosphere here was different from that in the academy, full of antiquity and mystery. The towering peaks seem to be giants guarding this mysterious place, and the clouds and mist in the mountains are like a fairyland.
He began to climb, each step challenging himself. The rocks were sharp and bushes were thick, but Li Lingyun was not afraid. His steps were firm and his breathing was even, as if he was one with the mountains. He felt the pulse of the mountains and seemed to hear the call of an ancient giant.
He climbed to a peak and his eyes suddenly opened up. The mountains in the distance are undulating like waves, and the sea of clouds is rolling, making it look like a fairyland. He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and blended his body and mind with nature. At this moment, he seemed to have become a part of this mountain range, breathing together with nature.
Li Lingyun found a flat stone in the mountain and sat down cross-legged. He took a deep breath, adjusted his breathing, and calmed down his mind.
Suddenly, the atmosphere around him changed, and a powerful energy surged out of his body. His fists were clenched and veins popped out, as if they contained infinite power. He punched the stone hard, and the stone instantly shattered.
The air was filled with the smell of stone powder, and with a loud noise, the stone turned into countless fragments. At this moment, Li Lingyun's Qiankun Broken Gold Fist was like a stroke of genius, with infinite power. The surrounding trees seemed to be swaying in the aftermath of this power, as if paying tribute to the young practitioner.
Li Lingyun sighed at the domineering power of the Qiankun Golden Fist, and a surge of pride surged in his heart. He knew very well that if this power faced a person at the level of a spiritual warrior, it would definitely cause considerable harm. However, for the more powerful Spirit King, this power seems to be somewhat inadequate.
He imagined a duel with the powerful Spirit King, an absolute battle of strength and wisdom. Although the Qiankun Broken Gold Fist is powerful, in the eyes of the powerful Spirit King, it may be just an insignificant attack. He needs stronger strength and more exquisite skills to gain a foothold in the world of the strong.
Li Lingyun's eyes became firm, and he was determined to continue practicing and continuously improve his strength. Although the Qiankun Broken Gold Fist is domineering, there are still more powerful martial arts waiting for him to explore. He wants to master these martial arts one by one to make himself stronger.
Li Lingyun suddenly had an idea. He suddenly thought that if he combined the Qiankun Golden Fist with the Diamond Armor, he might be able to exert even greater power. This image appeared in his mind: wearing diamond armor, with fists as hard as iron. With one punch, both strength and defense would reach a whole new level.
He quickly took off his coat and put on the diamond armor. Suddenly, a cold feeling spread throughout his body, as if his whole body was wrapped in a thick layer of steel. He moved his hands and feet and felt that the flexibility of the diamond armor was beyond imagination.
He took a deep breath and used the Qiankun Golden Fist again. This time, his fist seemed to have really turned into an iron fist and hit the ground, instantly smashing a huge boulder into pieces. The combination of the Diamond Armor and the Qiankun Broken Gold Fist gave him a qualitative leap in both his attack power and defense power.
【Cultivation Mountains】
Li Lingyun continued to explore the Cultivation Mountains. He first came to a valley where the wind was howling and strong. He had an idea and started practicing wind, thunder and lightning. His figure moves quickly, sometimes as light as the wind, sometimes as fast as thunder and lightning. His footsteps left a trail of afterimages in the valley, and his figure flickered in and out. He felt the power of the wind and seemed to be one with it. He moved quickly through the valley like a ghost.
After practicing the wind, thunder and lightning, Li Lingyun came to the foot of a mountain peak again. He looked up and saw towering mountain peaks reaching into the sky. He took a deep breath and began to practice the Futu Xuanming Slash. He gathered the power in his body into his palm, and with a fierce wave, a powerful energy spurted out from his palm. The energy turned into a bright blade of light and rushed towards the mountain. The light blade cut through the air, making a sharp sound of breaking wind. Just a loud noise was heard, and a huge boulder on the mountain was shattered by a light blade.
Li Lingyun stepped forward and reached the top of the mountain. He looked around, seeing mountains and rolling clouds. Everything here is full of vitality and vitality, as if telling ancient stories.
He closed his eyes and felt the rhythm of nature, as if he heard the call of the mountains and the whisper of the clouds. At this moment, he merged with heaven and earth, and his body and mind danced with nature.
Gradually, his breathing synchronized with the heaven and earth, as if he had entered a wonderful state. He began to practice the Mountain Turning Cloud Technique, with his palms upward, a powerful energy surged out of his body. This energy was like an invisible force that spread instantly.
There was a deafening sound, and the whole mountain seemed to be shaking. Li Lingyun's whole body was radiant with light, as if he had turned into a god. He pushed out suddenly with a palm, and suddenly, a powerful energy ripple spread in all directions. Rocks were flying, trees were swaying, and the entire mountain peak was trembling at this moment.
Just as Li Lingyun was immersed in the joy of cultivation, an idea suddenly flashed through his mind. He remembered that one of the fragments of the Huanyue Ancient Mirror was hidden in the mountain of cultivation. This made his heart move, and he remembered the location of the fragment, which was in a cave not far from him.
He gathered his thoughts and hurried towards the cave. After a while, he came to the cave. The cave is hidden behind a huge rock, and the entrance is covered with vines and moss. He gently pushed aside the vines blocking the entrance of the cave, revealing a dark hole.
Li Lingyun took a deep breath and stepped into the cave. The cave was dark and damp, and there were drops of water dripping on the walls, making a ticking sound. He mobilized his spiritual energy to protect his whole body and moved forward carefully.
Li Lingyun couldn't help but feel vigilant and alert. There is a mysterious atmosphere permeating the stone chamber, as if it contains endless secrets. He looked intently and saw several skeletons scattered on the right side of the stone room. There were some cloth strips and weapons left on the skeletons. They were obviously warriors who had practiced here. Li Lingyun's heart moved. He remembered that this stone chamber was mentioned in the fragments of Huanyue Ancient Mirror. He approached the skeletons, looked closely, and found that one of the skeletons was still holding a broken sword in its hand. He fiddled with it gently, and the broken sword fell to the ground with a crisp sound. His heart tightened. This broken sword seemed to be related to the fragments of the Huanyue Ancient Mirror. He took a deep breath and continued exploring.
Suddenly, a voice broke the silence of the stone room.
"Young man, why are you here?"
Li Lingyun was startled and looked intently, only to see a figure sitting cross-legged on the ground in the center of the stone room. The man was wearing a gray robe, with white beard and hair, and a slender face. He was looking at him with a pair of deep eyes.
Li Lingyun was stunned. He didn't expect that there was an expert hidden here.
Li Lingyun didn't want to leave just like that. He intuitively felt that the fragments of the Huanyue Ancient Mirror were behind the old man. He approached the old man and said in a sincere tone: "Senior, this junior is somewhat injured. Please help me."
The old man slowly raised his head, a trace of doubt flashing in his eyes. Li Lingyun took the opportunity to explain: "The junior was accidentally injured while practicing and has never recovered. I heard that the senior has superb medical skills, so I came here specifically to seek treatment."
The old man was silent for a moment and said calmly: "You come with me." After that, he got up and walked into the cave.
Li Lingyun felt happy and quickly followed the old man. The two walked through the dark cave and came to a stone wall. The old man stretched out his hand and pressed lightly on the stone wall. The stone wall slowly opened, revealing a stone chamber. There is a light fragrance exuding in the stone chamber, which is refreshing and refreshing.
The old man did not answer immediately, but turned around and walked to the center of the stone room, motioning for Li Lingyun to sit down. Li Lingyun sat down as instructed, but couldn't help feeling a little nervous. He didn't know the old man's origin, nor whether the old man would help. He took a deep breath and asked: "Senior, why did you choose to live here?" The old man was silent for a moment and slowly said: "I have been practicing here for decades. The environment here complements the spiritual energy in my body. Help me break through the bottleneck." After saying that, the old man raised his head and looked at the dome of the stone chamber, a trace of recollection flashed in his eyes, "Back then, I went down the mountain with my brothers and sisters. In order to pursue a higher martial arts, we each embarked on a different path. I chose to practice in seclusion here, hoping that one day I can break the void and ascend to the immortal world." Li Lingyun couldn't help but be touched, he didn't expect the old man to be so persistent for martial arts. He looked at the old man's deep eyes and couldn't help but feel a sense of respect in his heart.
Li Lingyun's heart moved. He had always been in awe of martial arts, but he had never been able to understand its true meaning. At this moment, he felt that this was a rare opportunity, so he asked the old man for advice: "Senior, this junior has always been curious about martial arts. I don't know what the real martial arts is?" The old man turned his head and looked at Li Lingyun with his deep eyes. , said slowly: "Martial arts is the pursuit of the unity of strength and spirit. It is not only a fighting skill, but also an understanding of life and the world. A true martial arts practitioner will continue to fight and practice In the process, he gradually realizes the essence of power, thereby transcending himself and reaching a higher realm." Li Lingyun listened intoxicated, as if he saw a brand new world unfolding before his eyes. He felt the sincerity and depth in the old man's words, and couldn't help but feel a deeper awe and yearning for martial arts. The two of them just sat in the stone room, and the old man's words were like a trickling stream, nourishing Li Lingyun's heart.
The old man spoke slowly and asked: "Young man, do you practice martial arts?" Li Lingyun was stunned, then shook his head and replied: "Senior, I don't practice martial arts, I practice spiritual skills." The old man's eyes flashed. After a moment of doubt, he continued to ask: "Spiritual skills? What are they?" Li Lingyun explained: "Spiritual skills are a technique that uses the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. It is different from martial arts, which focuses on the strength of the body and the spirit. Unification, while spiritual skills focus more on the control and use of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth." The old man nodded and said thoughtfully: "I see. I have lived in seclusion in the mountains and forests for a long time, and I don't know much about spiritual skills." Li Lingyun smiled slightly. , said: "Although spiritual skills and martial arts are different, both are the understanding and pursuit of power and the world. The martial arts mentioned by the seniors and the spiritual skills I have cultivated both have merits."
The old man approached Li Lingyun and stretched out his palm to gently press his Dantian. Li Lingyun felt a warm breath slowly spread from his dantian to his whole body, making him feel extremely comfortable. The old man closed his eyes and concentrated, carefully sensing the movement of spiritual energy in Li Lingyun's body. After a while, the old man opened his eyes, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes. He discovered that some of Li Lingyun's foundations during cultivation were unstable, causing the movement of spiritual energy to be blocked. In order to help Li Lingyun solidify his foundation, the old man took a deep breath, formed a seal with his hands, and flicked it lightly. Li Lingyun felt a powerful force coming from the old man's hands and instantly integrated into his body. This power was like a trickle, nourishing his meridians and making him feel extremely comfortable. As the old man continued to transfer power, Li Lingyun felt that his foundation was gradually solidifying, and the movement of his spiritual energy became smoother and easier. He couldn't help but feel a surge of gratitude in his heart, and he admired the old man's medical skills and strength with admiration. At this moment, he deeply felt the old man's compassion and selfless dedication.
A trace of doubt flashed in the old man's eyes, and he asked: "Isn't this a wilderness? How could it be the training mountain range of the academy?" Li Lingyun smiled and explained: "Senior, this is the training mountain range of Tianyun Academy. Although the name It is a mountain range, but it is actually composed of multiple islands. Each island has different spiritual energy and terrain, which is suitable for practitioners at different stages to come and practice." The old man nodded and said: "I see. The strength of Tianyun Academy It is indeed extraordinary to have such a vast training mountain range." He couldn't help but respect Tianyun Academy a little more. Li Lingyun looked at the old man's thoughtful expression and couldn't help but feel filled with emotion. He felt the old man's persistence and pursuit of martial arts, and also realized the resources and strength possessed by the academy. He knew that at Tianyun College, he could get better training and training and get closer to his dream. The two continued to chat about martial arts and spiritual skills, and the atmosphere in the stone room gradually became harmonious.
Suddenly, Li Lingyun's eyes fell on the table behind the old man. There was a fragment placed there, which seemed to be very ancient, with some vague lines carved on it. He couldn't help but asked curiously: "Senior, what is that fragment?" Hearing this, the old man turned around and glanced at the fragments on the table, with a trace of nostalgia flashing in his eyes. He slowly said: "This is the fragment left to me by my good brother when I was practicing. He once told me that this fragment contains endless mysteries, but because I practice martial arts, I cannot understand the true meaning of it, so This fragment has no practical use to me." Li Lingyun was a little stunned when he heard this. He didn't expect that this seemingly ordinary fragment actually contained such a profound secret. He looked at the old man's deep eyes, as if he saw every bit of the past between the old man and that good brother. The old man sighed softly and continued: "I have always kept it as a memory, to commemorate that wonderful time." Li Lingyun nodded silently, and his curiosity about this fragment became even stronger.
The old man looked at Li Lingyun's curious eyes, smiled slightly, and said, "Since you are so interested, I will lend you this fragment for a look." After that, he gently picked up the fragment from the table and handed it to Li Lingyun.
Li Lingyun carefully took the fragment and felt a cold feeling coming from where he started. He closed his eyes and felt this seemingly ordinary fragment with his heart. Gradually, he seemed to see an ancient scene, which was a vast starry sky with a bright moon hanging high in it, emitting a mysterious light. The picture gradually became clearer, and he saw that some lines seemed to appear on the surface of the bright moon, which were exactly the same as the lines on the fragments.
Li Lingyun took a careful look. I couldn't help but marvel in my heart. This is the fragment of Huanyue Ancient Mirror.
He once read the record about Huanyue Ancient Mirror in an ancient book. It is said that the Huanyue Ancient Mirror is a mysterious magical weapon refined by a powerful man in ancient times. It has the ability to discern reality and reality and shatter the void. But the Huanyue Ancient Mirror was broken into pieces in a great war and turned into countless fragments scattered in every corner.
The fragment in front of me is part of the Huanyue Ancient Mirror. He didn't expect to see this legendary ancient mirror fragment in the old man's place. He looked at the fragments carefully, and the lines on them seemed to have some mysterious power, which made him want to explore the secrets.
The old man looked at Li Lingyun's focused look and couldn't help but think of his obsession with martial arts when he was young. He chuckled and said: "Young man, if you want this fragment, then you can take it. It may be of great use to you." Li Lingyun was stunned when he heard this, and then a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. . He did not expect that the old man would be so generous as to give him this precious ancient mirror fragment. He said gratefully: "Senior, this gift is too precious. I must not accept it." The old man waved his hand and said with a smile: "This fragment is of no use to me. If you can learn something from it, then It is valuable. Just accept it, it can be regarded as the fate between us." Li Lingyun stopped refusing and took the fragment respectfully, full of respect for the old man in his heart.
Afterwards, Li Lingyun prepared to say goodbye and leave. He stood up, smiled at the old man, and was about to turn around and leave. Suddenly, the old man stopped him, with a hint of seriousness in his tone: "Young man, remember, never tell anyone my location. The world is too complicated. The more you know about some things, the greater the danger. Big." Li Lingyun nodded, indicating that he understood. The old man took out another jade pendant from his arms and handed it to Li Lingyun: "This is a gift from a good friend when I was young. Take it. If you encounter an unsolvable dilemma in the future, just inject spiritual energy into it, and I will I will appear by your side immediately." Li Lingyun took the jade pendant and felt as warm as jade in his hand, as if a warm current poured into his heart. He was moved in his heart, thanked the old man again, and then stepped out of the stone room.
Li Lingyun returned to Tianyun College and found that he seemed to have returned to the human world. The familiar environment around him made his heart feel warm. He walked through the gate of the college and saw the familiar world. Students were coming and going, and it was very lively. Li Lingyun found that he seemed to have missed many days. He did not know that seven days had passed outside.
He looked at the familiar scene and couldn't help but feel filled with emotion. He felt the atmosphere of the college, the energetic atmosphere, which filled his heart with strength. He took a deep breath and felt the fresh air, as if he wanted to make up for the seven days' blank space.
He walked back to his dormitory, opened the door, and saw several of his friends chatting together. When they saw Li Lingyun coming back, they all screamed in surprise. Li Lingyun looked at them and couldn't help feeling filled with emotion. He knew that he had returned to the real world, but the ancient mirror fragment and the old man's instructions would remain in his heart forever.
At this time, Qianye suddenly ran up to Li Lingyun, slapped him on the chest, and said with a hint of reproach in his tone: "Don't you know how anxious we have been in the past seven days?"
Li Lingyun explained that he didn't know that seven days had passed outside, and he would definitely not worry his friends next time. At that time, Duanmu Gushang was quietly drinking tea next to him. When he heard the conversation between the two, he gently put down the teacup and said to Qianye: "Qianye, don't blame Li Lingyun. Isn't he already back?"
When Qianye heard this, he glared at Li Lingyun, then looked at Duanmu Gushang. Knowing that this senior brother's words carried great weight, he did not continue to pester him.
Duanmu Gushang nodded with satisfaction, then turned his head and looked at Li Lingyun, with a hint of expectation in his eyes: "Li Lingyun, what level of cultivation have you reached now?"
Li Lingyun's heart moved. He knew that Duanmu Gushang had always valued him, so he replied: "Reporting to senior brother, this disciple has just reached the three-star level of Spiritual Scholar."
Duanmu Gushang's eyes flashed with admiration. He had long seen that Li Lingyun was extremely talented, and he must have made a breakthrough in this retreat. He secretly praised in his heart that this boy is really talented and can practice so fast. In time, he will definitely become a genius of Tianyun Academy. So he patted Li Lingyun on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Very good. You can break through to the third level of Spirituality in just seven days. Your talent and hard work are both admirable. I hope you will continue to work hard and reach a higher level." Li Lingyun Feeling Duanmu Gushang's appreciation, I couldn't help feeling a little proud. He knew that he could achieve such results without the guidance of the old man and the help of the ancient mirror fragment. But he also knows that the road to cultivation is long and he still has a long way to go. So he nodded firmly and said that he would work harder to practice. At this moment, he felt the warmth and support of the college and was full of confidence in his future path.
Afterwards, Li Lingyun returned to his room, closed the doors and windows, and began to immerse himself in the world of alchemy practice. He sat cross-legged on the bed, closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and began to guide the flow of spiritual energy in his body.
As the spiritual energy surged slowly, Li Lingyun's fingers gently touched the Dantian, and traces of spiritual energy emerged from the Dantian and flowed along the meridians. He silently recited the formula for alchemy in his mind, guiding the spiritual energy to circulate in his body.
Gradually, Li Lingyun felt as if he was in an endless spiritual grass garden. He saw the rich spiritual energy surrounding him, and the spiritual grass thrived under the nourishment of the spiritual energy. He felt the vitality of each spiritual grass and the faint fragrance they exuded.
