Under Chen Xiao's powerful suppression, Long Xue's resistance was insignificant. After the metal rod was pushed into the ground, a tremendous force gushed out, blowing Huang Ke Ran so hard that he closed his eyes involuntarily.
The powerful energy rushed into Huang Keran's body along the metal rod. Chen Xiao did not dare to delay and quickly used his vital energy to guide it through his body, leading the force towards the compass in his little disciple's hand.
Sensing this energy, the magnetic needle in the center of the compass began to spin wildly, transforming the endless flow of energy into vital energy, which was stored in the compass.
"Sit down cross-legged!" Chen Xiao shouted in a low voice.
Huang Keran hurriedly did as he was told, posing with his five hearts facing the sky and the compass between his legs.
After Chen Xiao completed the most important step, the rest of the compass would operate naturally. He then let go and walked aside to protect Huang Keran.
The luck of the Land of Five Blessings was much stronger than the one he had obtained when he first entered the Tao. Huang Keran worked on it for a quarter of an hour before the released energy ended.
Huang Keran opened his eyes, felt it in a daze for a while, then jumped up excitedly: "Master, I have entered the Tao! I have entered the Tao!" He laughed at first, and as he laughed, tears fell.
"Why are you crying? You're just entering the Taoism. You still have a long time to cultivate in the future." Chen Xiao said softly.
"Yeah! I'm just too happy." Huang Keran wiped her tears and laughed again.
Chen Xiao glanced at the compass with a faint golden light in the center and frowned.
He took out a storage bag from the storage box, handed it to Huang Keran, and said, "This storage bag is for you to use. From now on, remember that this compass must not leave your sight. Our Dongyu Sect's cultivation method is different from others. The compass is our spiritual root and Dantian. If we lose the compass, it is equivalent to destroying our foundation."
Huang Keran was shocked to hear the seriousness of his master's words. He took the storage bag and nodded, "Disciple understands!"
Chen Xiao said: "There are some vitality talismans and mechanical weapons in this storage bag. You can use them for self-defense."
Huang Keran carefully left a spiritual mark on the storage bag and put the compass in. He raised his head and asked Chen Xiao: "Master, since the compass is so important to us, can you think of a safe way to protect it?"
Chen Xiao said: "Originally, there was no technique taught by a sorcerer. You had to wait until your cultivation reached the Nascent Soul stage and you could open up your sea of consciousness as the upper Dantian before you could refine the compass into your body. But now, with the help of the Tianmai cultivation method, you can hide the compass into your sea of consciousness when you reach the Foundation Establishment stage."
Huang Keran thought for a moment, "After just this one training session, I have already skipped the Qi Gathering Stage and entered the Body Refining Stage. I think it won't take long to build the foundation, and by then I can refine the compass into my body."
Chen Xiao sighed and said, "I'm afraid it's not that easy. You started too early and entered the Dao directly, skipping the process of building a relationship with the compass in the early stages. When you build your foundation, you won't be able to connect with the compass by blood like half of your body, so you can't hide it in your sea of consciousness, which will be detrimental to your future practice. This is the disadvantage of forcing things to happen."
"Oh." Huang Keran looked disappointed, but then he smiled optimistically, "It's okay, Master. At that time, I will stop studying and just do Yin-Yang house work for others until I have established a deep enough connection with the compass."
"This is also a feasible method. It's just that it's not enough in the early stage, and it will take several times more effort in the later stage. You don't know how much Feng Shui you have to do to establish such a deep connection with the compass that has been strengthened to the Foundation Establishment Realm. You must be mentally prepared." Chen Xiao said in a heavy tone.
He had no choice but to do so. If he didn't do this, Huang Keran would be delayed. Who knows how long it will take for them to return to Luochen Heavenly Realm? If everything goes well, it may take a few years or ten years. If things don't go well, it may take decades or even hundreds of years!
If they don’t help him build a foundation and extend his lifespan, Huang Ke Ran will turn into a handful of earth before they return.
Huang Keran just smiled and said firmly: "Master, I'm not afraid."
Huang Keran tied a red rope to the metal pole, and his first martial arts training was officially completed.
Chen Xiao and Huang Keran stayed here for more than ten days. After Huang Keran adapted to his improved physical fitness, the master and apprentice set off again to continue their journey.
From summer to winter, and from winter to autumn, they walked through most of Zigui heaven.
It was also because Zigui was rare in that there were no immortal cultivation forces, let alone powerful ferocious beasts. It was like a novice village, and Chen Xiao had to level up as much as he could if he got the chance.
During this period, they encountered several Feng Shui treasures, but none of them was as good as the first Five Blessings Land. Huang Keran picked two of them. After ensuring that he had the physical fitness to build a foundation, Chen Xiao no longer allowed him to increase his cultivation in this way.
In the remaining time, the master and his apprentice, along with a little sheep, began a frantic hoarding mode. Xiao Ba hoarded spiritual energy, while the master and his apprentice hoarded all kinds of food, drinks, clothes, and daily necessities.
After going half a circle, they returned to the Zhuwu tribe.
They had been away for a year and a half, and when they came back this time they found that a large number of people were missing from the Zhuwu tribe.
This made the master and his apprentice very curious. After asking, they learned that the war was inevitable and broke out in the spring of that year. The missing part was the young and strong, and they were now fighting on the plain across the forest.
The chief and great witch of Zhuwu were not there, only Zhu Bai and the young chief stayed behind.
Chen Xiao handed the map he had drawn to Zhu Bai and said to him: "The places marked on the map are the Feng Shui treasures we discovered this time. Among them, the Five Blessings Land is the best. If possible, you can move there."
When Zhu Bai first saw the map, he was shocked. The map was so large, with more than 30 tribal locations on it, covering more than half of the tribes in Zigui Tianjing.
"Are the things drawn here real?" Zhu Bai's hands were shaking as he held the map.
What he cared about was not the Feng Shui treasures above. At this time, he didn't know what that meant. What he cared about was that the map was too detailed. Every mountain ridge, every valley, and every river were marked out! Even the plain where they were fighting was clearly drawn.
Chen Xiao gave him a strange look and said, "Of course it's true."
Zhu Bai looked at the map carefully again. He was sure that with this map, they would have a greater chance of winning this war.
He carefully put away the map and bowed deeply to Chen Xiao, "Thank you, Senior. This map is very important to us, Zhu Wu!"
At this time, Huang Keran asked: "Abai, why are you fighting with the Yanwu tribe again?"
Zhu Bai gave a bitter smile and said, "It was a daughter-in-law from another tribe who leaked the fact that Senior Chen was not a great power in the Tribulation Crossing Stage."
Chen Xiao sighed and said, "Bluffing is a side job and it won't solve the problem."
Zhu Bai said: "It doesn't matter. We have already prepared for a battle. The winner will be decided sooner or later."
Chen Xiao said: "Abai, this time we come back to say goodbye to you."
Zhu Bai was very surprised. He asked, "Senior, you won't see my master again?"
Chen Xiao hesitated for a moment, shook his head and said, "We have to leave. There are people waiting for us at home."
Zhu Bai was very sad about the sudden separation. He said, "After this separation, I'm afraid we will never have the chance to meet again."
Huang Keran smiled at this time and said, "That's not necessarily true, Abai. Didn't my master teach you the Feng Shui method of cultivating immortals? As long as you hold the compass and practice step by step, maybe one day you will be able to leave Zigui with your own strength. Then, maybe we will meet again."
Zhu Bai thought about it and said, "How old will we be by then?"
Huang Keran laughed out loud and said, "You will naturally slow down your aging process after you enter the Dao, and your face will definitely not become old. Even for this reason, you must practice the skills my master taught you!"
Huang Keran had made a rare good friend, and of course he hoped that Zhu Bai could live longer.
After Zhu Bai got the map, he was eager to give it to his master and the clan leader.
Chen Xiao and the other man were also planning to set off, and they said goodbye on the flat ground not far from the tribe.
Zhu Bai watched as the master and his disciple were covered by a ball of colorful mist, which slowly rose up, accelerated slowly, and finally disappeared from his sight.
He felt a sense of melancholy, shook his head, turned around and walked away.
Chen Xiao and Huang Keran's trip went smoothly. Although he had not been aware of it before, he had guessed the general situation.
This time, only a small amount of energy was used to awaken the small eight consciousnesses and stimulate it to enter the transformation form.
Xiao Ba stepped on the compass, and his body swelled up like a balloon. He let out two excited "ang ang" sounds, and without waiting for Chen Xiao to urge him, he jumped out of the sea of consciousness on his own initiative.
Chen Xiao and Huang Keran climbed onto Xiao Ba's back and walked in one direction.
It was basically impossible to talk to Xiao Ba about a sense of direction. Chen Xiao did not expect it to follow the original path to find the place where they fell into the void, so he just moved forward along the bright spot that seemed to be the closest in front of him.
The Heluo star map in the star disk was shining brightly. Chen Xiao could compare it with the starry sky in front of him, but he didn't know which star had the portal to the heaven of immortal cultivators. He could only try one by one.
Without a reference, Chen Xiao didn't know how fast Xiao Ba was. It took them more than ten days to reach this bright spot.
When he really got there, Chen Xiao was very disappointed.
This time their luck was not so good. This was a tiny heavenly realm with no signs of life at all. The reason why it was so bright in the field of vision was only because it was very close.
They decided to rest here for two days so that Chen Xiao and Huang Keran could stretch out and sleep comfortably.
Xiao Ba sniffed, followed the spiritual energy to a rock, hesitated for a moment, and tentatively opened his mouth to bite it.
It had never eaten a stone before, but it had to give it a try.
The sheep knew that its owner’s storage box had enough spiritual and fragrant plants stored for it, but it was a sensible and good sheep. It knew that it didn’t know how long the journey would take, and its owner didn’t know if he would have enough food to feed himself, so it didn’t want to add to the burden on its owner.
So, when Chen Xiao woke up, he found that Xiao Ba had not come back yet. When he hurried to look for it, he saw that it had eaten up half of the mountain.
That scene shocked both Chen Xiao and Huang Keran.
The author has something to say: If Chen Xiao knew what Xiao Ba was thinking, he would probably say: Darling, thank you for being so filial, but your master, I don’t eat grass and wood, so you don’t have to be so frugal, really [laughing and crying]
