Chapter 134: Water and Fire Compatibility Luo Hanyang
The days were getting warmer day by day, and the stream had long since melted, gurgling and nourishing all things in the mountains. Even the birds that used to jump around all day were now seen less often, probably having flown away into the woods.
These days, Lingxiang has been teaching Long Qi and the other two how to practice, while also calculating the time and planning to take care of the medicinal fields next to Xianyunju.
But the medicinal field now looks very barren, as if even the weeds are too lazy to grow.
Ever since Long Qi and his two companions came to Xianyunju, they haven't found the herbs they used to help Lingxiang move. He has no idea how Lingxiang put them, and even when he swept around, he couldn't find any.
Generally speaking, in autumn and winter, herbs would be picked, dried, roasted, ground into powder, and stored in porcelain bottles for later use. However, the plants cultivated by Lingxiang were all precious spiritual plants. Many of them would not grow for more than a few years before absorbing enough spiritual energy to be used in refining elixirs.
But most spiritual plants cannot withstand the cold wind, so how can they survive the cold winter?
Otherwise, why is it said that the Yuanqing Sect is a major Taoist sect? Naturally, it has secret techniques. However, this secret technique is not mastered by Lingxiang, but by Hanyang.
Now, Han Yang received the news and came to Xianyunju with his two junior brothers.
But some readers have said that this dignified elder of the Yuanqing Sect, who is also well-versed in the art of the Five Elements, why does he need a disciple to learn even the secret art? This is naturally for a reason.
Lingxiang is originally a residual spiritual root, and most secret techniques cannot be practiced by it, so it naturally has to be entrusted to others.
Han Yang is also a peculiar person. He has the reverse spiritual roots of fire and water, and this spiritual root qualification is extremely rare.
Logically speaking, fire and water are mutually exclusive, so it is impossible for a person with such spiritual roots to exist. However, they have been integrated together. When the Dust-peeking Mirror was used to measure the spiritual roots, it really shocked the former headmaster.
Because of this, he got the Taoist name Han Yang, and it was also for this reason that the disciples of the Shangqing Zhenren school were given the generation name Han.
At that time, Han Yang really made Shangqing Zhenren spend some time thinking. It was the first time he met someone with such spiritual roots. How could he teach him properly when he had both water and fire?
Originally thinking of giving up one, he focused on teaching him the secret of fire. However, after teaching him for a few years, he found that he had made no progress, while his water spiritual root aptitude had actually increased.
This surprised the elders even more. At that time, the Yuanqing Sect had already encountered a disaster, and the former headmaster was nowhere to be found. How to teach next was a problem.
However, Master Chengxin suggested that since both qualities could be combined into one, they should be able to coexist peacefully. It would be better to practice dual cultivation of water and fire, which might greatly increase their cultivation.
As he expected, after Shangqing Zhenren taught him the true secret of water, Han Yang's cultivation really improved greatly. In just two or three years, he had reached the Jindan stage.
It is said that after Han Yang practiced the two mental methods of water and fire, he was able to cultivate his own magic, which was the Bingyang Palm. When it hit a person, it could freeze the person into an ice cube immediately. However, the person in the ice would only feel as if his whole body was burning like fire. Even if the magic was removed, the person would only be burned, not frostbitten.
There are brutal techniques to fight the enemy, and naturally there are some others.
Lingxiang would ask Hanyang to come to Qingwei Peak twice every year, not for anything else but for those precious spiritual plants.
Because Han Yang had water and fire spiritual roots, he mastered the Yuanqing School's secret techniques, just like the technique of making the four seasons like spring that the ancestor Wuwei used on Yinyu Peak. However, his cultivation level was not enough to control the entire mountain, but he could still do it in a small medicinal field.
With just a gesture of his fingers, the terraced fields, which were originally a barren land, gradually changed their appearance. In just a moment, they became lush and green, and among them was the Nine-Leaf Tower that Lingxiang brought from Youranju.
"Senior Brother's shapeshifting technique and Yangchun secret technique are becoming more and more sophisticated!" Han Qing sighed on the side.
"That's right," said another disciple, named Hanlu. He spoke with immense pride, as if this cultivation was his own. "I remember when we were little, Junior Sister-in-Law and Senior Brother were always together. Master and the other uncles often said they were a perfect match, and who knows, maybe they'll get married someday."
Han Yang put away his magic and jokingly scolded Han Lu for talking nonsense and confusing the generations, but Long Qi, who was standing by, was extremely annoyed.
What do you mean by a perfect match? One is the senior sister-in-law, one is the senior brother, one is the elder, one is the same generation. How can they be a perfect match? These disciples are really good at gossiping.
"How could I say anything nonsense?" Han Lu shouted immediately after hearing Han Yang's scolding. "Back then, you always brought Little Sister with you. Even when I saw you, I thought you were a good match. Besides, when Master and the other uncles said this, there were many fellow disciples present. How could I be talking nonsense?"
Hey~ This little brat is actually getting ahead of me.
"I say..." Long Qi was furious and said angrily, "You are gossiping like this, aren't you afraid that Elder Fu Cang will cut off your tongue if he hears you? They are not of the same generation to begin with. You are not only breaking the rules by pairing them up like this, but aren't you afraid of ruining their reputation? Although most cultivators don't care about such things, after all, people's words are scary. If someone with ulterior motives hears it, it might cause trouble."
Although he said this, he didn't think so in his heart.
A good match? What does a good match mean? A talented man and a beautiful woman are a good match?
Yes, his daughter Lingxiang is as beautiful as a flower, but what virtue does your eldest senior brother have to be worthy of the word "Langcai"?
They are really like a group of jackals, tigers and leopards!
Knowing two or three techniques is enough to make you a good match. How superficial! Vulgar! Unbearable!
As soon as he finished speaking, Lingxiang came out of the yard with a wooden tray in her hand.
"Although it's spring, the spring chill is still quite severe. I've prepared some ginger water. Drink it to ward off the cold!" He distributed the bowls and cups on the plates. "This contains my secret elixir, which is also beneficial for cultivation. If your cultivation level increases significantly in the future, you can cast spells on the entire mountain for me, and I won't have to go to Brother Fuyin's place to hide from the winter every year."
Listen! Listen!
His Lingxiang is so considerate, is your eldest brother worthy of her? He is just...
kindness?
Every year?
What? From what she said, she would have to see this senior brother once or twice every year?
Long Qi held the bowl in his hand, feeling uneasy, just like the ginger water in the bowl, which made his throat hurt after he drank it.
Why didn't she think that maybe one day he would be able to perform such magic? Didn't she understand that it's better to rely on oneself than on others? He clearly had someone in his family, yet he had to ask outsiders for help?
Thinking of this, Long Qi looked at Han Yang who was drinking ginger water beside him, and fell into deep thought. Even when the ginger water in his hand turned cold, he forgot to drink it.
After a long time, he seemed to have made up his mind and drank the ginger water in one gulp.
Although it is a little cold, my throat still hurts!
