Chapter 43: Can it be considered cultivation if you don’t skip a level?



Penglai Yuqing Temple and Daozang Pavilion.

Luo Yan raised his head from the pile of books, looking a little dazed.

After flipping through hundreds of scriptures, I still couldn't find any relevant information about "Li Palace".

The only place I saw this was in a sentence in the General History of Ancient Teachings, which said, "The Heavenly Venerable was worried, so he began to build a palace away from home."

So who is Tianzun?

What are you worried about?

Why do we need to build a palace when we are worried? What is a palace?

Then I looked at the author's name of the scripture. Well, it turned out to be the predecessor of Gu Kunlun.

All the scriptures from Kunlun Taiqing Sect always use this hateful minimalist style. If one word can be used to describe something, two words will never be used - as if writing one more word would lower the quality.

You want less words, more style, why don't you just make a PPT? Can you use some clear charts?

Luo Yan showed this text to Shi Liuli, who was also scratching her head.

"Tianzun should refer to the leader of Chanjiao, Yuanshi Tianzun." Shi Liuli speculated, "As for this worry..."

"Wait a minute!" Luo Yan said with a smile, "Sister, if it was really built by Yuanshi Tianzun, then the rank of this palace must be incredibly high. It should not be related to our Qi Refining Stage."

"What you said makes sense." Shi Liuli said in distress, "So who is this Tianzun?"

"Let's not worry about who this Heavenly Lord is for now." Luo Yan tried to persuade the young lady, "But the scriptures in the Daozang Pavilion are so vast that it's like looking for a needle in a haystack to find a special term. I think it's better to get the eldest brother drunk and then get some information out of him..."

"Do you think I haven't tried it?" Shi Liuli squinted at him, "He has been on guard against me lately and even carries hangover pills with him."

"How strange." Luo Yan pondered, "Is this a secret that is worth keeping secret?"

"It's not necessarily a secret." Shi Liuli replied, "It's just that my brothers and sisters all listen to my father."

"My father may have just casually said, 'Don't tell me directly' or something, and they all refused to tell me."

"Is that so?" Luo Yan thought for a moment and made up his mind.

Ask for help from the audience outside the venue!

"I'm going to the bathroom." He stood up and said.

"Don't go!" Shi Liuli said angrily.

"Senior Sister! I can't even go to the toilet. Isn't that too overbearing?" Luo Yan said with a bitter face.

"Do you think I'm a fool?" Shi Liuli said with her hands on her hips, "As a Qi Refining cultivator, you have already practiced fasting. Why are you still going to the toilet?"

Luo Yan: ...

This young lady suddenly became smart again!

"See, you clearly want to escape!" Shi Liuli shouted angrily.

"Senior sister." Luo Yan said helplessly, "Actually, I already have an idea, I just plan to go to the bathroom to sort it out."

"What kind of inspiration needs to be sorted out in the toilet?" Shi Liuli sneered.

"Calculation." Luo Yan lied.

"Can't the magic be used here?"

"cannot."

"Why?"

"Senior sister is too beautiful and distracts me. I can't concentrate on calculating."

Shi Liuli:?

"Oh, there's really nothing I can do about you." She waved her hand with a smile, "Why go to the toilet? We don't have that kind of filthy place in Tiangongfang. There is a quiet room in the Daozang Pavilion. You can go there to calculate, but you are not allowed to run away!"

"Okay, okay." Luo Yan quickly stood up and said.

After arriving at the quiet room and confirming that no one was around, he called out to the Kunlun Mirror in his mind:

"Yaoyao, I want to reload the game!"

Kunlun Mirror ignored him.

"A Jing?" Luo Yan immediately changed his words.

"Which file are you reading?" asked Kunlun Mirror.

"Kunlun."

[Point 1: Kunlun Taiqing Sect, Jinling Cave Mansion. ]

[Character identity: Qiu Changtian. ]

[The Mirror Flower and Water Moon template is overwritten, and time travel is in progress. 】

His body reappeared in Kunlun, and at the same time, he was subjected to the invincible illusion of Mirror Flowers and Water Moon. He quickly switched to Qiu Changtian's psychological state, left the cave calmly, and flew up on his sword.

Prepare to visit Xu Changqing, the chief of the Foundation Establishment Stage.

Xu Changqing, born in the Xu family of Tiannan, is the 276th chief disciple of Kunlun. He is now the chief disciple of the Foundation Establishment Stage and the "number one person under the Golden Elixir" of Kunlun Taiqing Sect.

By the way, the "number one person under the Golden Elixir" of the Shangqing Sect of Mount Shu is Senior Sister An Zhisusuan.

There is no need to say much about the relationship between Ling Yunpo and An Zhisu, and the relationship between Qiu Changtian and Xu Changqing is actually not much different.

The reason is very simple. In the genealogy of the Tiannan Xu family, Xu Changqing is Xu Yinglian's great-uncle-grandfather, that is, my grandfather's uncle.

In other words, according to the Taoist couple's marriage contract, Qiu Changtian is Xu Changqing's future great-nephew's son-in-law.

Although this name is a bit confusing, Xu Changqing does treat Qiu Changtian as his junior because of this relationship.

"Changtian?" Seeing Qiu Changtian coming to visit, Xu Changqing, who was meditating, stood up to greet him.

His appearance remains that of a man in his thirties. He has neither the childishness of a young man nor the vicissitudes of a middle-aged man. It can be said that his appearance is unremarkable.

He was also very low-key in his daily life, which made Qiu Changtian envious: Why didn't he want to be like that? It was just that his character didn't allow him to do so.

"Brother Changqing." Qiu Changtian bowed respectfully, then got straight to the point and asked, "Changtian came here to ask you about a location."

"What place?" Xu Changqing was a little surprised.

"Leave the palace." Qiu Changtian said in a deep voice.

Xu Changqing blinked and then smiled:

"I see. I didn't expect you to have heard about it so early."

Qiu Changtian:?

How come this Li Palace is related to me, Qiu Changtian?

Seeing that his expression remained unchanged, Xu Changqing thought for a moment and then explained the relationship:

"Changtian, you also know that the purpose of practicing Qi Refining Stage is to draw Qi into the body and fill up the Qi Sea."

"During the marrow cleansing period, you need a lot of Qi to refine your bones and marrow and expand your meridians. This requires you to have a full Qi sea."

"Generally speaking, depending on the individual aptitude of the cultivator and the quality of their Qi refining techniques, it will take anywhere from thirty to sixty years to fill up the Qi sea."

"During this period, without the help of external objects such as flying swords and magic weapons, the combat ability of Qi Refining cultivators is very fragile."

"In ancient times, the Chan Sect faced another problem: the number of low-level disciples was far less than that of the Jie Sect."

"Although their average aptitude is higher, they are unable to widen the gap with Jiejiao disciples due to their low cultivation level."

"Therefore, a great man from the ancient Chan Sect used his supreme magical powers to build a 'Secret Palace' under the East China Sea by borrowing the majestic spiritual power of the earth veins and volcanoes."

"This secret palace is specially designed for the trials of the foundation-building disciples of the Chan Sect."

"As long as you can pass the trial, you will not only have the opportunity to obtain flying swords, magic weapons, elixirs, and Taoist methods, but you can also steadily raise your cultivation level to a higher level."

"From Qi refining to marrow cleansing, from marrow cleansing to transformation palace, from the beginning of transformation palace directly to the great perfection of transformation palace, to the realm of half-step golden elixir, all can be achieved through the secret realm of Ligong."

Qiu Changtian suddenly realized:

"I see. Then this palace..."

"We cannot predict when the palace will open or close," Xu Changqing said with a smile, "but according to Master, the next opening should be soon."

"The reason why the sect didn't explain this to you is because they were afraid that you would know that the Secret Realm of the Palace could guarantee you a rank upgrade, and therefore you would become lazy in your cultivation."

"But since you have already found out about it, I will no longer hide it from you."

Qiu Changtian certainly understood what he meant, so he nodded and said:

"Brother, don't worry. I won't tell my fellow brothers and sisters about this matter. Even Junior Sister Xu won't tell them."

But how should I talk to Miss Shi?
