Chapter 15: Evergreen Secret (Thanks to Alliance Leader Yu Luo Xi Yang Xie!)
This is the change brought about by the soul-searching technique that returns to its original simplicity.
Ning Daoran groaned.
As his mastery of soul-searching techniques deepened, his mental power became stronger and stronger, and eventually the quantitative change led to a qualitative change.
When the soul-searching technique reached the supreme realm of returning to nature, spiritual consciousness was actually generated ahead of time!
Although it is outrageous that he mastered spiritual consciousness in the middle stage of Qi Refining, it seems quite reasonable because the soul-searching technique returns to its original nature.
His consciousness began to patrol the Qiongbi Peak frantically! Over at the No. 78 Spiritual Field, Ma Quanyou was picking his feet while admiring his mountain-like chest muscles in the bronze mirror.
At Lingtian No. 79, Grandma Yuncui was cooking Chen Weimo’s favorite hot rice.
Lingtian No. 80, Mr. and Mrs. Hong Ming and Zhong Yan... well, it's indescribable.
In Spiritual Field No. 81, Huang Shan was practicing some kind of wood-based martial arts. However, due to his poor aptitude, he was already sweating profusely.
…
It is said that the consciousness of a cultivator in the early stage of foundation building can scan a range of dozens of feet, but Ning Daoran can actually scan a range of a hundred feet away. Does this mean that his consciousness is even stronger than that of a cultivator in the early stage of foundation building? Outrageous, but very acceptable!
Soon, he withdrew all his spiritual consciousness. He just wanted to enjoy it for the first time and not be too arrogant.
If a powerful person in the sect discovers you when you are scanning with your spiritual sense and they come looking for you, that would be a real danger.
Therefore, things like spiritual consciousness should be hidden first and used when needed.
The days go on one by one.
During this period of time, Han Bing came here many times. With the resources of the inner sect's direct disciples, she had broken through to the middle stage of Qi Refining a year ago and is now at the fifth level of Qi Refining. Ning Daoran always feels that Han Bing's future realm seems, and may be, higher than his own.
…
"Junior Brother Ning!"
A familiar voice was heard from outside the small cloud and mist formation.
Inner sect disciple of Fire Feather Hall, Lin Sheng!
Although Lin Sheng was a reckless person who believed in "bravery and perseverance", he still had some manners. He would never force his way into the small cloud mist formation unless Ning Daoran responded, although... in the eyes of someone in the late stage of Qi training like Lin Sheng, the defensive effect of the small cloud mist formation was actually useless.
Entering the small cloud and mist formation was like pushing open a shaky and broken door for him.
"Brother Lin!"
Ning Daoran opened the formation and said with a smile, "Come in quickly!"
Lin Sheng strode into the courtyard with great strides, and as usual, he looked around and said with a smile: "Junior brother, your cultivation still doesn't seem to have made any progress... I'm really worried about you!"
In his left hand he held a jar of spiritual wine, and in his right hand he held a crucian carp weighing at least two kilograms. The tail fin of the crucian carp was golden, and its body was filled with rich spiritual energy.
"Spirit fish?"
Ning Daoran was stunned.
"Hey, you recognize it? I thought you didn't."
Lin Sheng laughed: "This spiritual fish is a good thing. I spent four spiritual stones to buy it from a peddler. Come on, let's roast it and have a drink for the three of us brothers!"
"OK!"
Ning Daoran immediately picked up the spirit fish: "Old deer, braised!"
Soon after, a table of dishes was served. The spirit fish in the middle was the most eye-catching. Its meat was tender and fresh, and it contained rich spiritual energy. Eating it could enhance one's blood and improve one's cultivation.
"Brother Lin."
Ning Daoran poured the wine and asked with a smile, "Is there any good news?"
"really."
Lin Sheng grinned and said, "To be honest, Junior Brother, I have just broken through to the eighth level of Qi Refining and have been promoted to a deacon by the Inner Sect's Fire Feather Hall. I now have more than a dozen fellow disciples available to me. In addition, the several tasks I have completed for the sect recently have been extremely difficult, and I have earned a lot of contributions."
"Sure, Brother Lin!"
Ning Daoran clinked his glasses and said, "As a junior fellow apprentice, I am so proud!"
"I came here to tell you this."
Lin Sheng said: "Junior brother, you are a person who never leaves the main gate, and every time you accept the outer gate mission, it is always the simplest. When will you be able to collect enough contributions to the master?"
He raised his eyebrows slightly, his brows full of heroism: "Tell me, what kind of martial arts do you want to contribute to the hall? The three true and unique martial arts cannot be exchanged, and the inherited unique martial arts can only be learned by the headmaster and the eldest sister. There is no need to say these, just tell me, and I will help you get it back."
"ah?"
Ning Daoran's head was buzzing. The exchange of decent skills in the sect required a lot of contributions. Lin Sheng actually wanted to help him exchange skills. He really treated him as a brother...
"Forget it."
He smiled and said, "Brother, your contribution was earned by putting your head on your belt. Besides, you also need resources for your own cultivation. It's better to exchange them for advanced pills yourself."
"Ning Daoran."
Lin Sheng's face suddenly turned cold: "Don't you consider me, Lin Sheng, as your brother?"
“How can that be possible…”
Ning Daoran's scalp tingled.
"Then stop talking nonsense. Just tell me which martial arts book you want. As long as it's not a true and unique martial art like the True Yang Furnace Art or the Purple Cloud Sword Art, I can exchange it for you!"
"All right."
Ning Daoran saw that Lin Sheng was about to get angry, and said: "Brother, if I am lucky enough to enter the middle stage of Qi Refining, then I plan to choose the two attributes of wood and fire. The two complement each other. The wood attribute method is helpful for advancement, and the fire attribute method is helpful for fighting, so..."
"Understood."
Lin Sheng smiled and said, "Eternal Green Art or Flame Sun Art, which one do you want?"
The Chaos Sect is not a big sect, so there are not many exercises suitable for practicing in the Qi Refining Stage. The one with wood attribute is the Changqing Jue, and the one with fire attribute is the Yan Yang Jue. However, one must reach the seventh level of Qi Refining before one can receive one copy of these two exercises from the sect, and only one copy.
If you want more, you can only exchange it through sect contributions.
"Then let's go with the Evergreen Technique."
Ning Daoran said: "I heard that if you practice the Changqing Jue to a high level, you can increase your lifespan..."
"Wait a minute!"
Lin Sheng rushed out of the small cloud and mist formation in a hurry, and flew into the air with his flying weapon!
In less than half a cup of tea, Lin Sheng came back.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6-9!
A jade slip containing the Evergreen Secret was thrown to Ning Daoran, and the food wasn't even cold yet!
“Oh shit…”
Ning Daoran kept shouting in his heart, Senior Brother Lin Sheng is so awesome, so resolute! He quickly stuffed the jade slip into his arms, raised his glass and said, "Senior Brother, keep drinking, I've got it all in mind!"
"Well, why should we be polite to each other, brothers?"
Lin Sheng laughed: "Junior brother, as long as this Changqing Jue is suitable for you, my contribution will not be in vain. Come on, drink more spiritual wine and break through the realm as soon as possible. Don't let me wait for you too long in the future in the foundation building stage!"
"I'll try my best, hahahaha~~~"
Ning Daoran has already made up his mind that brother Lin Sheng is really good to him and he will never let him down in the future.
Even if there is some cause and effect involved and there is some risk, I will never let Senior Brother Lin down!
…
After eating and drinking, Lin Sheng left.
Ning Daoran came to a secret room twenty feet underground.
"Hiccup~~"
After a satisfied burp, he carefully took out the jade slip from his arms. This was exchanged by Lin Sheng with a large amount of contribution, and it was extremely precious to Ning Daoran.
This kind of jade slip containing the martial arts technique copied by the sect is one-time use, that is, once a cultivator uses his spiritual consciousness to open the jade slip, this jade slip can only be opened by him.
If a second person uses spiritual consciousness to open the jade slip, it will trigger the self-destruction restriction of the jade slip.
After injecting spiritual consciousness, the jade slip immediately opened, and the Evergreen Secret recorded in it was also entered into the Plant and Tree Holy Spirit System.
There are still more than 10,000 years of time for intensive cultivation. Should I use a little bit of it first? Then save up for a few more years and prepare to strive for the return to nature level of body tempering?
He hesitated for a while, but finally decided to practice first.
It is said that the speed of practicing the Changqing Jue is extremely slow, but very stable. It is also said that after practicing the Changqing Jue to an extremely high level, the wood-attributed spiritual energy will be abundant, which can feed back to the physical body and increase lifespan.
However, there are not many people in the entire Chaos Sect who practice the Changqing Jue.
There is no other reason. Not only does it consume too much time for training, but the improvement of "fighting skills" by wood-attributed skills such as Changqing Jue is extremely limited. If you cannot master offensive skills, even if you practice Changqing Jue to a high level, it will only be a mascot.
A person in the late foundation building period who is not good at fighting may not be able to defeat a person in the early foundation building period who cultivates gold or fire attributes!
It is said that many people in the Chaos Sect once chose the Changqing Jue as their main practice, but they all regretted it later!
These people basically remain in the Qi Refining Stage. Even if there are one or two people with high talent who enter the Foundation Establishment Stage, they are at the weakest level of the Foundation Establishment Stage.
Basically, people who practiced the Changqing Jue either ended up refining pills or becoming spirit plant husbands, neither of which achieved very high achievements.
But for Ning Daoran, there is no such concern. It is nothing more than a matter of finding some extra time for intensive practice.
Once you practice the Changqing Jue to a high enough level, not only can you increase your lifespan and eliminate lifespan anxiety, but also, as wood gives birth to fire, a high enough level of the Changqing Jue can feed back to the Yan Yang Jue that you are about to practice, or even the True Yang Furnace Jue.
Ning Daoran's plan for cultivating immortals had already been made clear long ago. When he reached the late stage of Qi training, he would obtain a copy of Yan Yang Jue and learn the fire-attributed skills first.
The sect also has a rule that when the sect disciples have established their foundation, they can choose one from the three true techniques. Ning Daoran's goal is the True Yang Furnace Technique.
Ever since he saw Lin Sheng perform the True Yang Furnace Art once, Ning Daoran was left with the impression of a man of iron, blood, and passion. At that moment, he felt that his own path must be like that. A true man's cultivation of immortality must be as bright as the sun in the sky!
…
He sat cross-legged, slowly closed his eyes, and poured all his time into practicing the technique.
[In the fourth year, you looked at the Changqing Jue and felt a sense of déjà vu. You felt that this technique seemed to be prepared for you, and your wood-attributed spiritual root began to stir.]
[Eternal Green Secret. Yellow Rank Top Grade (Layer 1)]
[In the nineteenth year, you repeatedly read the Evergreen Secret and comprehended its mysteries. Your wood-attributed spiritual roots grew stronger and stronger, and the wood-attributed spiritual power in your body became more and more abundant.]
[Eternal Green Secret. Yellow Rank Top Grade (Second Floor)]
"ah?"
Ning Daoran was a little confused. So fast? Could it be that I am gifted and so compatible with this Changqing Jue? ! In this case, I will continue to practice. Anyway, I still have a lot of time to practice. As for the Return to Nature Level Body Tempering Jue, I can wait a little longer! (End of this chapter)
