Chapter 299 Jade
The light in the small cave was very dim.
The cave entrance is a small and narrow passage that extends for twenty to thirty meters.
Inside, there are some stone pillars and stone tables scattered around.
There are some lines engraved on the stone wall that have been blurred by wind erosion.
The shallow pit on the ground is particularly eye-catching.
If I remember correctly, the special metal box containing the book "Mr. Chen's Inner Alchemy Secrets" was buried there.
Revisiting the old place, Fang Yi stood at the entrance of the cave and felt a mixture of emotions.
If I hadn't accidentally slipped that day, I wouldn't have rolled into the cave, let alone had the great opportunity and achieved the brilliant success I have today.
At this time, Mei Junyan had already walked into the cave.
She sat down on the stone bench naturally.
He didn’t know if it was an illusion, but after Fang Yi saw her sitting on the stone bench, her whole spirit and demeanor changed completely.
It was as if the person in front of him was not a beautiful woman, but a Taoist with a transcendent aura.
Perhaps Mei Junyan herself did not notice that her tone of voice had changed. She spoke like a host, "Master, come in and sit anywhere you want."
Um?
Fang Yi woke up from his thoughts and looked at Mei Junyan who was sitting upright.
In the past, when Mei Junyan spoke to me, her tone was always full of "awe" and "worship".
At this moment, Mei Junyan's tone did not contain any emotion. If the voice had not come from her throat, Fang Yi would even have felt that she was a robot.
"good."
Fang Yi walked slowly forward and sat down on another stone bench two feet away from Mei Junyan.
Mei Junyan's eyes changed from those of a weak woman to those of a "determined one". She seemed to be telling a story outside of herself. "About five or six years ago, when I was still unmarried, I felt a call from somewhere, so I took a train here alone. When I arrived at Qingcheng Mountain, the feeling of being called became stronger and stronger, until I came to this cave, and the feeling of being called disappeared. However... I did not find anything in the cave that made me feel called."
Five or six years ago?
Fang Yi was stunned for a moment. Didn’t he also come here five or six years ago and gain great immortal fate?
Could it be that there is some connection between me and Mei Junyan?
Thinking of this, Fang Yi decided to ask tentatively, "Ms. Mei, do you remember the exact time when you first came here?"
Mei Junyan sat upright without looking away and said, "It was exactly three o'clock in the afternoon on June 28, 2020."
Boom!
The sound of the creation of the world seemed to ring in Fang Yi’s mind!
Three o’clock in the afternoon on June 28, 2020?
Didn’t I slip and fall into the cave at 2:30 PM on June 28, 2020?
Fang Yi clearly felt that he did not have the sense of calling that Mei Junyan described.
So it was completely unexpected that I was able to obtain "Mr. Chen's Inner Alchemy Secrets".
And what is Mei Junyan looking for here because of the sense of calling?
Fang Yi suddenly understood something.
Could it be that... I stole Mei Junyan's chance to become an immortal?
But why did Mei Junyan have such an opportunity to become an immortal?
Fang Yi really couldn't understand it for a moment.
Sudden.
He thought again of an idea that had been popping up in his mind before.
According to rumors, some ancient masters with unparalleled strength would choose to reincarnate in order to avoid the irresistible fall.
Could it be that Mei Junyan is the reincarnation of Master Chen Pu?
And "Mr. Chen's Inner Alchemy Secret" is the key to Mei Junyan's recovery of her past life memories?
Thinking of this, Fang Yi suddenly began to recite the contents of Mr. Chen's Inner Alchemy Secret: "The merit of one turn is like a precious pearl, the true water of heaven, hidden in the gallbladder, the yin and yang are in harmony, and it descends to become an elixir, shaped like a dewdrop. The mountains, rivers, and universe penetrate the spiritual body... The vast energy fills the universe, and the bitter smoke curls up to the ring tower. When the gallbladder orifice is opened, the vital energy curls up, goes up the twelve rings of the heavy tower, and enters under the tongue orifice. The mouth is full of bitterness, which is the proof of the circulation of vital energy. The husband and wife gradually conspire. When the vital energy flows smoothly, the yin and yang are in harmony, and the heart and kidney are connected (copulation), so it is said that they gradually conspire."
While reciting, he tried to observe the changes in Mei Junyan's expression during practice.
However, what disappointed Fang Yi was that Mei Junyan's expression did not change at all.
"Hmm?" Mei Junyan looked over curiously, "Master, are you reciting ancient scriptures?"
Fang Yi stopped reciting and frowned, "Do you feel anything strange when you hear these scriptures?"
Mei Junyan said blankly: "No."
That's strange.
If Mei Junyan was really the reincarnation of Master Chen Pu, she shouldn't have had no reaction after hearing the contents of "Mr. Chen's Inner Alchemy Secrets".
Fang Yi was now increasingly unsure of what was going on.
"By the way, are there any Taoist priests among your ancestors?" Fang Yi asked.
Mei Junyan thought about it carefully and said, "I don't think I remember that."
Fang Yi asked again, "Then is there an ancestor with the surname Chen? A male?"
Mei Junyan smiled and said, "My last name is Mei. Do you think any of my ancestors had the last name Chen?"
Fang Yi was stunned for a moment, then laughed out loud, "Yes, that's right."
Mei Junyan asked curiously, "Master, why are you asking these questions?"
I don't know how long I've been sitting here.
Fang Yi felt that Mei Junyan was gradually returning to normal.
"Just asking." Fang Yi thought of something else, "By the way, are you interested in practicing inner alchemy?"
Mei Junyan blinked and said, "Inner Alchemy?"
Fang Yi explained: "After practicing the art of longevity, there is a chance that you can live longer, or even...live as long as the heaven and earth!"
Mei Junyan was not interested at all. She shook her head and said, "We suffer for only a few short decades in this world. What's the use of immortality? I will calmly accept the hardships of time until death comes... Oh, by the way, I am afraid of pain. It would be best if I could leave this world in my sleep, so that I don't have to suffer. I don't want to be caught like last time. To be honest, I was really scared that time. Fortunately, you came in time."
The immortality that everyone dreams of, yet you are not interested in it at all?
Fang Yi admires Mei Junyan very much.
Although he might be able to snatch the other party's opportunity, Mei Junyan was not interested in immortality, so he couldn't continue to persuade her.
Fang Yi promised: "If you are afraid of facing death one day, you can call my name in your heart, and I will rush over as soon as possible. I dare not say that I can make you immortal, but at least I can make you live for ten thousand years."
"Well, thank you, sir." Mei Junyan nodded slightly in response.
Fang Yi was about to get up and leave.
Suddenly, Mei Junyan said, "Actually, it's not like I didn't gain nothing from my first visit to Qingcheng Mountain."
Fang Yi looked over and asked with interest: "What did you gain?"
Mei Junyan took out a piece of jade that seemed to have not been polished from her neck and said, "This piece of jade."
Fang Yi had come into contact with her several times, but he had never felt anything beyond the ordinary from her.
Although he is now an incarnation, he still doesn't feel anything special from this piece of jade.
Fang Yi thought that the incarnation had no spiritual awareness and was unable to check the situation inside, so he wondered if he had been negligent.
Thinking of this, he broke free from his original body, which was immersed in the gems to temper his spirit in the Huangshan Daojun Palace, and released his spiritual consciousness to Qingcheng Mountain to sense it carefully.
Still no clues were found.
The incarnation then frowned and said, "Did you also get this jade in the cave?"
"Yes." Mei Junyan pointed to the small pit on the ground and said, "It's right here. I didn't see anything at first, but I instinctively reached out to dig the soil. My hands were bleeding, and then I dug out this piece of jade."
Fang Yi's incarnation asked, "Can you let me take a closer look?"
Mei Junyan handed it over and said, "Okay."
Fang Yi took it and looked at it carefully. This piece of jade looked like a "jade plate". It was pitch black but very shiny, presenting a very contradictory state. However, there was nothing engraved on it, just like a natural jade.
He really has no idea for the time being.
"Can you lend it to me for research for a while?" Fang Yi asked.
Mei Junyan was quite generous and said directly: "If you like it, you can take it."
Fang Yi waved his hand, "No, I'll study it for a while and return it to you."
He had a guess in his mind whether this piece of jade would require the immersion of the soul in it like a gemstone, so he wanted to take it back and try it out.
…
The next day, early in the morning.
The power of faith is relatively small during this period.
Fang Yi's soul broke free from the gem.
The incarnation who had returned from Qingcheng Mountain earlier immediately stepped forward and handed over the jade.
Fang Yi took it in his hand and looked at it carefully for a long time. When he was sure that he could not find anything, he left his body.
The soul immersed itself into the jade.
As soon as it touched the surface of the jade, an irresistible gentle force suddenly rose up from it and "pushed" Fang Yi's soul away.
"Um?"
Fang Yi's eyes lit up, "There is indeed something wrong with this piece of jade."
Under normal circumstances, one's soul can enter into any substance.
In other words, spiritual consciousness can do it.
However, the divine sense had previously detected nothing inside the jade.
This time, the soul wanted to try to immerse itself in it, and then it felt the irresistible force.
This made Fang Yi feel that there must be some big secret hidden in this piece of jade.
"Since Mei Junyan said that this piece of jade was dug out from under the 'Mr. Chen's Inner Alchemy Secret' that I obtained, then it must be something left behind by Teacher Chen Pu."
Fang Yi held the jade and looked at the starry night sky outside, thinking in his mind, "In other words, Mr. Chen's Inner Alchemy Secret and the jade were supposed to be a set, but I only got one of them?"
If this is true, then this piece of jade should be related to cultivation?
"Give it a try."
Fang Yi held the jade and began to try to practice his skills.
He didn't know if it was an illusion, but when he was practicing the first level of the technique, he felt a pure energy from the jade entering his body and being absorbed along with the exercise.
“Hey, it seems to be related.”
Fang Yi began to try to practice the second level of the technique.
This time, more energy is transmitted from the jade.
After finishing the exercise, he blinked and thought to himself, "Did I absorb more energy from the jade stone by practicing the second round of the exercise?"
Try the third and fourth turns.
Fang Yi continued to try without stopping.
Then he was surprised to find that every time he practiced the Qi at a deeper level, he could absorb more energy from the gem.
"Normally, the fifth turn can only be practiced at noon, but since this jade is so magical, I will try to use it to practice the fifth turn at night."
Fang Yi tried again.
It is different from every previous exercise.
This time, as soon as he started practicing the fifth level of his technique, the scenery before him suddenly changed.
