Chapter 198: Thousand Years of Style
"The purple sky cleanses and penetrates the soul..."
In an instant, an article of only tens of thousands of words on the art of soul-watching appeared in Li Fan's mind.
"Junior brother, please wait here. I'll be back soon!" After saying this, Zhang Qianmo floated away without waiting for Li Fan's response.
"Purple Sky Soul Searching..." After carefully reading this article about the unique soul-searching technique of the Zixiao Sect, Li Fan had already mastered it.
The technique clearly states that in the world of immortal cultivation at this time, the major mountain gates, good and evil cultivators, immortal cultivators and various demons and beasts are fighting each other endlessly. Killing people for treasures, searching souls and refining spirits are all common things.
The so-called soul search is to read the memory of the other party's soul in some way. It varies according to the style and habits of each family.
Some were cruel and brutal, and would cause permanent damage to the soul after searching it. Even if the monk whose soul was searched did not die, he would be like an idiot from then on, unable to take care of himself.
Some are very ingenious. While searching the soul's memory, they will also transform and distort the memory, leave a mental imprint, and turn the original enemy into the most loyal slave.
The soul-searching technique of the Zixiao Sect is the most moderate and peaceful.
It will not cause much damage to the soul, but during the process of searching the soul, one will experience pain as if the soul was being struck by the Purple Sky Divine Thunder.
If you take good care of it afterwards, it can be restored to its original state.
But from then on, an inexplicable fear would remain in his heart. From then on, whenever he sensed the presence of people from the Zixiao Sect, he would feel like he saw his natural enemy and would not have the courage to resist.
Li Fan, like Zhang Qianmo, stretched out his hand like a claw and grabbed one of the captives.
Using the Zixiao Soul Viewing Technique, countless images suddenly came flooding in like huge waves.
It is similar to the way of recreating the Zuoshan Jue through the ritual of training the clone in the past, except that the memories that can be viewed by the soul-viewing technique are more vivid.
Scenes appeared one after another. Li Fan discarded the unimportant trivialities and only looked at the relatively important parts.
This foundation-building monk is named Liu Tu.
More than forty years ago, he was just an ordinary country bumpkin.
One day when he went up the mountain to hunt, he lost his way and mistakenly entered a valley.
He was surprised to find that this valley hidden deep in the mountains, which was usually sparsely populated, had gathered many people today for some reason. Some were cultivators with powerful auras, but most were ordinary mortals like villagers.
At this moment, they were all sitting together, listening attentively to the passionate speech of a young monk in front of them.
"Decades ago, I was just like most of you here, a powerless mortal who couldn't control my own destiny. Although I wanted to become an immortal, I only regretted that I didn't have spiritual roots and couldn't practice."
"I am fortunate to have witnessed the Immortal Master's teachings with my own eyes, and obtained the supreme Dharma."
"From now on, you can practice without spiritual roots!"
"In just ten years, I have achieved the Golden Core Realm!"
"The Immortal Venerable once said: The path to immortality is..."
Under the on-the-spot teaching of the young man, dozens of mortals in this group of people actually condensed the roots of heaven and earth and entered the Qi Refining Stage.
Liu Tu was fascinated by what he heard, although his aptitude was slightly poor and he was unable to refine Qi directly.
But he also kept the "Five Senses Qigong Method" in mind.
After returning home, it took him less than half a month to successfully draw the Qi into his body and become a true immortal cultivator.
Afterwards, Liu Tu found and joined the League of Ten Thousand Immortals, an organization spontaneously created by the new practitioners.
After selecting the most popular "Tianluo Divine Art" as his main practice, Liu Tu practiced for another five or six years and built up his Taoist foundation with the rare object of heaven and earth [Mountain Spirit Ginseng].
After that, Chu Liang found him and made an appointment with his two fellow disciples, Zhang Qianmo and Li Chen, who were lying in ambush in Ningyuan City to take the longevity fruit.
Liu Tu was somewhat afraid of the title of inner disciple of Zixiao Sect. However, with Song Hesong, who was at the Jindan level, as the leader, and the temptation of the unique skill of [Zixiao Yulei Zhen Jue], Liu Tu agreed to it.
After all, according to the intelligence, these two people from Zixiao Sect are only in the late stage of foundation building.
Who would have thought that he would meet Zhang Qianmo, a freak who could build a foundation and kill the golden elixir...
"Bang!"
After the soul search was completed, Li Fan threw the limp Liu Tu to the ground and lightly pressed his swollen and painful temple.
Calm down your agitated soul.
The art of soul-searching has endless uses and can reveal all the secret memories in the enemy's mind.
But it’s not without risks.
The consumption of one's own spiritual power is also very alarming. For someone like Li Fan, it is a case of excessive consumption.
What's more, if you encounter someone who is pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger, you may be completely subdued on the surface, but he will take the opportunity of searching your soul to launch a fatal counterattack.
If you are caught off guard and fail to defend yourself, not only will your soul be severely damaged, but you will also be at risk of being "counter-searched".
"Although I am only an incarnation of spiritual consciousness in this Meteorite Realm, and my spiritual power is not as strong as my original body. But the cost of this soul search is a bit too high." Recalling Zhang Qianmo's relaxed look just now, Li Fan couldn't help but wonder if he had used the wrong method.
But after looking through Li Chen's memory and thinking for a while, Li Fan understood.
At this point in time, the major sects are training their elite disciples in an all-round and cost-effective manner.
There is no shortage of all kinds of rare treasures, and all kinds of strange and secret techniques can be chosen almost at will.
From actual combat training, to tempering the spiritual consciousness, to personal instruction from the elders and strong men in the sect.
As long as you perform well enough, these are the resources for you to grow and become stronger quickly.
On the other hand, in today's world of cultivating immortals, a good technique would be split into several different parts, which is clearly intended to limit the cultivator's combat power.
Want to use natural treasures to strengthen yourself? Want to use secret methods to defend against enemies?
Okay, let’s do the tasks first and accumulate contribution points.
I have accumulated enough contribution points, but I still can't find it.
Oh, that may be because your authority level is not high enough. Try doing some more meritorious tasks and accumulating merit for a few years!
…
Although I don’t know what the situation is at the Five Elders Association, I think it’s pretty similar.
In reality, most cultivators are probably not even considered as independent cultivators in Zhang Qianmo's eyes.
After all, according to Liu Tu's memory, the skills provided by the original Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance included all kinds of magical techniques and secrets.
Take the "Tianluo Divine Art", which has the largest number of practitioners, for example. The content of the art is all-encompassing.
Concealing breath, escaping techniques, tempering consciousness, strengthening the body, refining qi, refining pills, making talismans, array formations...
No matter how big or small, everything is included.
It can be said to be the best method for beginners to practice.
Although it may not be the best in all aspects, it is comprehensive.
Li Fan couldn't estimate how expensive this skill would be sold for in the current Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance.
This is one of the dozens of skills provided free of charge in the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance at this point in time.
Comparing the two, Li Fan couldn't help but sigh, "Damn it, how did the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance become like this?"
The gap between him and the independent cultivators at this point in time is so huge, not to mention the elite disciples of big sects like Zhang Qianmo.
Although Li Fan possesses the rare treasure Huan Zhen and has gone through hundreds of reincarnations, his spiritual awareness far exceeds that of ordinary cultivators.
But after all, there has been no systematic reinforcement.
There are no natural treasures to make up for it.
So there is still a big gap between me and this Senior Brother Zhang.
Li Fan checked his own condition and frowned slightly.
"Due to the excessive consumption of my spiritual consciousness, the time I can stay in this Falling Immortal Realm has also been greatly reduced."
"It could have lasted about half a month, but now it can only last seven or eight days."
"However, according to what Chen Ying said, I have already gained something. I can leave the Meteorite Fairyland early."
"Just simulate the ritual in reverse in your mind."
"I just don't know if the conditions for bringing the items back to reality are met."
In order to bring items and information from the Fallen Wonderland back to the real world, specific conditions must be met.
When Chen Ying introduced the conditions that day, he was vague about them.
Currently, no information about the Meteorite Realm can be found in the Tianxuan Mirror, so Li Fan has to explore on his own.
"The more valuable something is, the harder it is to bring it back."
"For now, I don't need to think about the Heavenly Net Divine Art. If I can bring the Purple Sky Soul Contemplation Technique back, my goal will be achieved."
"What exactly are the conditions? Kill Zhang Qianmo?"
Li Fan currently has no clue.
"Anyway, let's go back to reality first."
"Maybe I can recall the specific content of soul-reading in reality?"
After pondering for a moment, Li Fan made a decision.
He simply performed the ritual in reverse in his mind.
A wave of dizziness came over me, and in an instant, the surrounding scenery shattered like starlight.
Li Fan's consciousness returned to the Tianxuan Mirror.
Li Fan began to carefully recall the various scenes of this trip to the Fallen Fairyland.
I still remember the specific events and every word of conversation with Senior Brother Zhang.
But when he recalled the "Purple Sky Soul Viewing Technique" and "Tianluo Divine Art", he could not remember anything.
It's like carrying water with a bamboo basket.
"It's not that easy."
"The treasure is already in my hand, but it is like a flower in the mirror or a moon in the water, and yet I cannot get it..."
“This feeling is really not pleasant.”
"We still have to go in again and look for specific conditions."
"Fortunately, I quit on my own initiative last time. The time interval required to re-enter has also been greatly shortened."
During the waiting period, Li Fan bought a talisman of praise and disguised himself as a Jindan cultivator.
Then he bought a disguise pill, disguised himself, and came to Dingyu Island.
Affected by the Lingwu Grass incident, there are fewer monks gathered here.
Li Fan randomly picked a fish to bet on, and then asked the Jindan cultivator in the crowd about the information about the Fallen Fairyland.
After some casual chatting, Li Fan learned that the location where they entered the Meteorite Fairyland was different each time.
Sometimes, once you enter, you’re caught in a battle between good and evil, and are killed at will by the strong on the battlefield.
Sometimes, he was lucky enough to occupy the body of a disciple of a certain sect, but it was difficult to find the conditions to bring out the skills in just a dozen days. He could only watch with regret as the skills disappeared from his memory.
