In the early morning, after a thick fog, heavy rain suddenly came, and the whole Wangfeng County seemed to be trembling weakly.

A man in black slowly walked out of the thick fog and stopped in front of an ancient and calm library.

Tianyi Pavilion

The keeper of the treasury was an old woman with graying temples. She was holding a lantern and sitting behind the window. After she read Li Qinglin's warrant with a calm look, there was a hint of fluctuation in her eyes.

"It's strange that the boy from the Bai family actually allowed people to come to Tianyi Pavilion to read books."

The old woman smiled gently, and her cloudy eyes inadvertently swept across Li Qinglin's heart.

My heart is beating fast.

Li Qinglin was startled for a moment, knowing that the old woman in front of him was probably an extraordinary person.

"The book you're looking for is on the third floor, on the top shelf. Just go and read it yourself."

As you enter Tianyi Pavilion, heavy rain falls on the front and back patios, almost turning the yard into an ocean, with fallen leaves tumbling on the water.

But the strange thing is that there is no moisture or coldness in the brick walls, bookshelves, and air. Instead, they are extremely dry.

Li Qinglin thanked the old woman and went up to the third floor alone.

The entire Tianyi Pavilion was deserted, and Li Qinglin's footsteps echoed clearly on the stairs.

Following the old woman's instructions, Li Qinglin came to the Tianzi bookshelf.

There are not many books on the bookshelf, but there are quite a few tattered thread-bound books or handwritten silk papers.

Li Qinglin directly grabbed the "Ji Wu Old Book".

Pay attention and be completely immersed in the records in the book.

The first part of the article was exactly the same as what Pu Song had copied for him. Li Qinglin read the last part directly. “It is said that the beginning of martial arts is from the great iron. At that time, there was an immortal who supported the King of Iron and gave him two volumes of martial arts classics.

One is to train the body, the other is to nourish the spirit. He also said that the old method is not old, the new method is not new, and one should use martial arts to communicate with the spirit!

However, after nourishing the spirit, there is no other way. The martial arts to reach the spirit are ultimately like the moon in the water and the flower in the mirror..."

No way out after resting? !

Seeing this, Li Qinglin's pupils suddenly contracted, his face turned pale, and his mind was in a mess.

Since there is no way after resting the spirit, then what is the method in the superior martial arts that after resting the spirit, the spirit and the heavenly gates are opened, the clear air is nurtured in the chest, the three flowers gather at the top of the head, and the method of formally embarking on the road of cultivating immortals? Is n't martial arts a prerequisite for cultivating immortals? Or...

Li Qinglin thought of something vaguely and continued to read the following text.

The more he looked, the paler his face became, and beads of sweat the size of beans dripped from his forehead.

Li Qinglin's eyes trembled a little. He felt that the cold air in the early morning was particularly biting, making him feel cold all over.

Among the superior martial arts, the content about nourishing the spirit was temporarily added during the Da Jiang period! In the previous dynasties, people only knew about the two realms of locking the five gates of essence and nourishing the spirit, and perhaps there were still warriors exploring the subsequent martial arts path.

However, there is no method to transform from a mortal to an immortal, or from a martial artist to a Taoist! Immortal cultivators only need spiritual roots, immortal cultivation techniques, and a spiritual land to gather the three flowers of essence, energy, and spirit, and use the flower of energy as the main force to begin cultivating and refining energy, also known as Qi Refiners!

There is no need to lock the five levels of essence and nourish the spirit! A warrior is a warrior, which is a completely different path from cultivating immortals! Li Qinglin's doubts were finally solved.

He has always subconsciously compared the path of a warrior with the path of cultivating immortals.

Naturally, I wonder why a mere martial artist is so powerful?

Refining the marrow to produce mysterious meaning, the five internal organs are round and the body is almost demonic, the blood and qi are filled with a hundred feet, and the spirit is even more extraordinary. There are various changes, and even the celestial phenomena can be moved...

In the final analysis, the path of a warrior is another way of cultivation! "So, Wang Changsheng is not a warrior, and the Liquan Zhenren in the Shuihengliu is not a warrior either."

Li Qinglin murmured,

"No wonder Wang Xian is so eager to become an immortal, yet he himself has never practiced martial arts. I'm afraid he knows the inside story!"

Then, why did Da Jiang temporarily add the content of using martial arts to enter the Tao?

What kind of immortal is it to become an immortal in this way? Why did immortals pass down martial arts content during the Great Iron Age?

Why create martial arts when you don't pursue the true way? Who is the old law and who is the new law?

The more Li Qinglin understood, the more he searched for answers, but he found that there was an iceberg hidden behind the fog, with even more unknown secrets.

It’s a pity that the content at the back of "Jiwu Old Book" is about the different martial arts training styles in various counties, and some of the text has been erased.

The rain hit the windows and doors, blurring the sky and the earth.

Li Qinglin raised his head and looked at his own reflection in the window.

He vaguely found the common points and connecting points among these mysteries.

Robbery.

"There is a calamity zone between heaven and earth, and immortal cultivators seem to also have so-called calamities...

Whether it is creating martial arts or tampering with the path of martial arts, are these methods used by those high-ranking immortal cultivators to overcome tribulations and seek survival? "

…

A few days later, an uninvited guest knocked on Li Qinglin's door.

Wen Shoufei looked at Li Qinglin, who looked surprised, with a blank expression on his face.

"Why, you're not happy to see me?"

Li Qinglin reacted immediately and led Wen Shoufei into the courtyard.

Wen Shoufei put his hands behind his back and scanned the yard, his eyes fixed on the north room where Li Qinglin practiced daily.

The two masters didn't say anything and the atmosphere was a bit awkward.

"Brother Lin, do you have guests?"

Hearing the noise, Li Xian walked out of the house with the help of servants.

Wen Shoufei's face suddenly showed a smile. He walked to Li Xianshi lightly, bowed and said, "Old sister, I am Qinglin's master Wen Shoufei. I'm sorry that it has taken so long for me to come visit you!"

Upon hearing this, Li Xianshi's eyes showed surprise and she held Wen Shoufei tightly with her rough hands.

"You are Master Wen! Please sit down!"

Li Xian pulled Wen Shoufei to sit down, and in a few words, they started talking about family matters, even telling him about the embarrassing incident when Li Qinglin skipped school to hide hook grass when he was a child.

Wen Shoufei was listening the whole time, occasionally speaking in response, without any airs of a master of meditation.

It was not until Li Xianshi felt a little sleepy and went back to her room to take a nap that Wen Shoufei slowly stood up and walked past Li Qinglin.

"Your mother's eye disease is difficult to cure. The fire poison has been burning her eyes for decades, and has completely destroyed her eye membrane. Unless there is an elixir from the immortals, or an extremely rare monster, otherwise..."

Wen Shoufei didn't say much and stopped there.

He paced for a while under the bamboo forest in the north room and saw many signs of martial arts training in the yard.

The white-headed sword stood quietly on the stone table, smooth as new, and simple and ancient.

Wen Shoufei's mouth corners slightly raised, seeming somewhat satisfied.

But he turned around and returned to his expressionless look.

"Master Dao is dead."

"Um?"

Li Qinglin exclaimed in surprise, his eyes somewhat stunned.

Wen Shoufei continued, "With me here, you don't have to worry about your family's safety. Just go ahead and do it."

Li Qinglin was silent for a moment, then bowed.

"Thank you... Master."

Only this time, there was a hint of sincerity in Li Qinglin's words.

There was a faint smile in Wen Shoufei's eyes, but it disappeared the moment Li Qinglin raised his head.

He then took out a pair of white anklets from his bosom and handed them to Li Qinglin, "I saw you have a pair of wrist guards, I think you need these. Two strategies This man, although he is the abbot of the Cangtian Shulu Temple, I have seen him, he is very... special.

If possible, you might as well collect the two sets of armor he forged. They may be of great use in the future."

Li Qinglin took the pair of anklets, and felt the heavy, cold texture in his palms.

When the anklet and wristband met, both suddenly emitted a faint fluorescent light, rising up.

Click.

The anklets were buckled on Li Qinglin's feet, and his energy and blood were gradually consumed. Li Qinglin suddenly felt that he had become lighter.

The violent and abundant energy and blood were transformed into a special force through some mysterious patterns inside the anklets and wristbands, which subtly supported Li Qinglin's body.

His mind moved, and his figure whooshed out silently for several feet, then stopped abruptly.

There are no winds or waves, and the leaves do not fall in disorder.

But it consumed half of Li Qinglin's energy and blood.

A message emerged in my mind,

"This is..." A hint of surprise flashed across Li Qinglin's eyes.

"In addition to the ten-forged, one-hundred-forged, and one-thousand-forged weapons, warriors also have secret pattern blood weapons, which use blood as their source and can perform magical methods that are almost innate."

Wen Shoufei spoke.

Secret Pattern Blood Weapon? When Li Qinglin heard this, he suddenly thought of the armored car mud dragon and even the magic weapon of the immortal cultivator.

Warriors use Qi and blood as the source of energy to activate the secret pattern blood weapon.

Immortal cultivators use spiritual energy and magical power, assisted by formations, to control various magical instruments.

"Master, I want to ask, is the ultimate goal of a warrior to become an immortal?"

Li Qinglin suddenly asked.

Wen Shoufei frowned when he heard this, looked at Li Qinglin in surprise, and said, "You... know?"

Li Qinglin slowly recounted what he had seen in Ji Wu's old book when he went to Tianyi Pavilion.

Wen Shoufei heard this and shook his head helplessly.

“You know these things too early, which does more harm than good.

Don't think too much. If anything goes wrong, we old guys will be there to take the lead.

Just concentrate on your cultivation."

Wen Shoufei didn't want to say more.

This work is organized and uploaded by Liujiu Book Bar~~

After a moment, Li Qinglin stood on the steps, watching Wen Shoufei's back as he floated away like a gentle breeze.

I could faintly smell a hint of blood in the air.

Wen Shoufei, a master of spiritual cultivation, actually began to lose control of his blood and qi, and his essence was out of balance? Li Qinglin suddenly couldn't tell Wen Shoufei's true intentions.

He was so eager to repair and perfect the Five Elders' Pure Heart Inscription that he was willing to sacrifice his disciples. Was it really just to heal his injuries and protect his family business?

Li Qinglin felt a little irritated for no reason.

These old guys always do what they think is right. Each one is like a riddle man, keeping secrets with his broken bodies.

One day, he will let these old guys live out their retirement in peace and contentment! ...

Nituojiang

The jade toad slowly entered the water.

Its dark red pupils were slightly closed, and its huge green body walked across the beach and swam along the mud at the bottom of the river.

With the talent of controlling water, the water on both sides flows quietly, leaving only very subtle traces of fluctuations.

The fish and shrimp in the mud and sand vaguely sensed a huge shadow passing over their heads. It was not until the Jade Yuan Chan walked away that they suddenly reacted and fled in panic.

The Jade Yuanchan did not go deep into the Nituo River, but only swam a hundred feet away in the shallows along the coast, sensing many powerful auras coming from the bottom of the river in the distance, and then slowly returned to the shore.

In the slightly turbid river water, several slender figures swam quickly towards the Jade Yuan Chan.

The Jade Yuanchan blinked its eyelids quickly, and saw that they were actually several colorful poisonous snakes.

These poisonous snakes seemed to be heading for the Jade Yuanchan. They were approaching rapidly, with hatred in their eyes, and they were swimming fiercely towards him! "Hmm? Could it be the offspring of that silver-striped python again? Why can't we kill them all?"

Jade Yuanchan was stunned for a moment, and faced with the spicy strips delivered to his door, he rolled up the water and slapped it hard! Several poisonous snakes fainted and floated to the surface of the water.

Just as the Jade Yuan Toad was about to swim forward, he heard a violent explosion of river water behind him, and a terrifying huge black shadow was rising rapidly! The surging water almost threw the Jade Yuan Toad into the air!

The Jade Yuan Toad's heart trembled, and it controlled the water flow, swung its body, and went straight to the shore.

Boom! Then a giant king tuna with a head as tall as a foot and a body as long as a ferry suddenly rushed out of the water and swallowed the poisonous snakes.

Its color is green, and turns white when taken, emitting a strong demonic aura.

Wang Yu's eyes were filled with bloodthirsty brutality and cruelty. He glared fiercely at the Jade Yuan Chan on the beach, and then fell into the water again.

"Is this also a demon beast that follows the Guan Zu Blood Refining Method?!"

Jade Yuanchan reacted, but she didn't expect that she would be intimidated by the indigenous people not long after arriving in Nituo River.

For several days afterwards, the Jade Yuanchan did not rashly go into the water again.

It restrained its breath and secretly observed the movements of the king tuna.

Human wisdom may be the greatest advantage of the Jade Yuan Chan.

He discovered that this king tuna, in addition to hunting and reproducing every day.

When the Jade Rabbit rises high in the sky and the Golden Crow hangs on the top of the mountain, they will go to the stone gorge dozens of miles away along the shallow coast.

On a large stone tablet, its white belly was exposed, basking in the moonlight and sunlight.

If the king tuna eats any monster, it needs to digest the food.

Then Wang Yu will definitely go to sleep on the big stone tablet, and start hunting again the next day! It seems that the big stone tablet can help Wang Yu digest the foundation of other monsters! Seeing this, the Jade Yuanchan's heart was hot.

It took the silver-striped python a full month to digest and absorb all of the Taoist foundation.

If it can lie flat on the big stone tablet, it will definitely shorten the transformation time significantly.

Don't worry, don't worry.

The Jade Yuanchan lay quietly under the mud on the beach, feeling the warmth in his stomach from digesting the snake gallbladder, and fell into a light sleep silently, …

Half a month later.

In the shallows of Nituo River.

The jade toad swam stealthily.

Today, the Jade Yuan Toad has completely digested the nutrients brought by the Silver Python.

His body had grown in size and was much taller than an ordinary person, eight feet tall and ten feet wide, and his body was more coordinated and stronger.

The warts on the back became more angular, the jade exuded a metallic luster, and became extremely thick.

In particular, the Jade Yuan Toad's front and hind limbs actually began to grow rows of blunt angles. If they were a little sharper, they could probably be used as sharp blades.

The foreign body sensation in the throat has become more and more obvious in recent days.

A pair of dark red eyes were even brighter than blood, with a crystal-clear light, yet so cold that they were without any emotion, exuding an inexplicable majesty.

The next moment, the figure of the Jade Yuan Chan swam across the river bottom in an instant and disappeared on the spot along the mud and sand.

After paying attention for these days, Jade Yuanchan had a general understanding of the situation on the shallows of the Nituo River.

The king tuna was undoubtedly the overlord of the water, occupying the area with the richest food. There would often be a large number of fish from the deep sea swimming to the shallows, including many monsters, which were basically all hunted by it.

It has blue spots under its cheeks covered with mysterious patterns, and it can actually control water.

In addition, it has immense strength, and a random sudden movement can bring enough force to break the cliff.

Below the king tuna, there is a crocodile, a crab, and a pair of anglerfish.

The crocodile is a dragon crocodile, more than ten feet long, with a black body. It is good at death rolls and has the talent of "dragon roar", which can make a large number of fish faint and lose consciousness. Even monsters cannot bear it. Once they hear the dragon roar, they will become dizzy and unable to come back to their senses for a long time.

The crab was a large crab with algae all over its body. Its shell was hard and its claws were strong enough to split mountains and rocks. Jade Yuanchan estimated that even if it was pinched, it would be difficult to bear.

A pair of anglerfish consist of a male and a female fish, with hideous and ugly faces and a lantern-like light on their heads. Any water beasts illuminated by the lantern will seem to be in a nightmare and will float obediently in place, waiting to be eaten by the anglerfish.

These four monsters have become accustomed to the presence of the king tuna and often avoid it when traveling.

But today, an uninvited guest quietly broke into their waters.

The Jade Yuan Chan determined the direction and swam towards the dragon crocodile.

Choose fresh fish to eat.

Jade Yuanchan has always liked to bully the weak and fear the strong.

Needless to say, Wang Yui is someone he cannot afford to offend now as he is the Jade Yuanchan.

I can hit the big crab many times, but if the big crab can pinch me once, I'm afraid all my troubles will be over.

Anglerfishes come in pairs, like to fight in groups, and have no moral principles.

So, we have to choose the dragon crocodile first.

The Jade Yuan Chan controlled the water and moved silently all the way, as if it was walking in silence.

As long as it is not discovered by the dragon crocodile, it is very sure that it can kill with one strike! ...

On the reefs along the coast, a group of crocodiles lay in the shallow water, with only rows of almost bony spurs on their backs exposed.

At the bottom of the turbid river, an extremely slender, dark blue, and very domineering dragon crocodile was silently digesting the food in its stomach.

Sudden,

A big catfish, seemingly trying to escape, swam over from somewhere, suddenly breaking the silence on the water surface. Many crocodiles were startled and rushed forward to grab the food, splashing huge water.

Snap!

A crocodile bit its companion's forelimb and then rolled in death. After a crisp bone-cracking sound, the companion's forelimb broke and the crocodile swallowed it without saying a word.

The companion who had lost his front limbs floated on the water in a daze.

Crash...

In addition to the big catfish, another group of fish swam in.

Faced with this pie falling from the sky, the crocodiles went into a complete riot, stirring up mud and causing waves.

The dragon crocodile at the bottom of the river slowly opened its eyes. Its eyes were bright and a gleam of spirit flashed across them, dancing and undulating like flames.

This dragon crocodile seems to be an alien species. Although it is also a small demon beast that has just transformed into a monster, it has extraordinary intelligence, far surpassing small monsters such as the silver-striped python and the golden eagle.

At this moment, it felt something was wrong.

Food is hard to come by, so how could this kind of thing of sitting back and waiting for something to come to you happen again and again?
