The runes imprinted on the golden elixir fell off one by one and rotated on the surface of the golden elixir, causing turbulence in various air currents throughout the body.
At this moment, Shen Lianqiang was fighting against the severe pain all over his body. He focused his mind on his dantian, trying to figure out the reason.
Why is it that other cultivators can continuously imprint their supernatural powers on their golden elixirs, but it’s not possible for him?
Is it because he has practiced physical cultivation, or has he awakened his spiritual body? Is there any connection between these two and the golden elixir supernatural power?
Or maybe it's just his fate that makes God unhappy with him.
…
Boom! Under Shen Lian's strong pressure, the turmoil in his body became more and more intense. The three energies began to run wild in his body, and every impact was like a knife cutting.
The forbidden runes suspended on the surface of the golden elixir were increasingly repelling the golden elixir.
"Why do the Golden Pill and the Divine Power Rune have a sense of repulsion?"
At this moment, Shen Lian couldn't help but frown.
This feeling of rejection is unreasonable. After all, this is how monks have been practicing for so many years.
How come the Golden Elixir Branding Magical Power, when it came to him, the second Golden Elixir Magical Power caused rejection in his body.
"What exactly went wrong?"
After thinking for a long time, Shen Lian turned his attention to his own magical power, the Five Elements Domain.
From the very beginning, the first thing he possessed was the Tianyan Fire Domain. It was this magical power that assisted him in refining spiritual ink and nourishing talisman paper when he was practicing Qi.
After building the foundation, he even transformed it into the Tianyan Jade Talisman.
Later, when the five elements were complete, they helped him smelt ore.
When the spirit body has not awakened, it looks like a thin five-colored mist lingering outside the spirit root.
Later, his spirit body awakened, and the yin and yang and five elements of energy appeared in his body.
During this period of time, Shen Lian has also purified the ore texture a lot, using the power of Yin and Yang and the Five Elements in combination with the Five Elements magic power.
Since both can be used to purify ore and nourish spiritual ink, it means that they should belong to the same thing.
"The Divine Powers of the Five Elements Realm."
Shen Lian murmured something, and the turbulent energy in his body could no longer be sustained. He immediately released the suppression in his Dantian and erased the runes that had been imprinted before.
But even so, the turbulent impact from within his body still made him unable to help but spit out a mouthful of blood.
After wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, he took a healing pill, and his eyes lit up.
"It is said that there was no such thing as spiritual roots in ancient times."
"I remember Fatty Qian said a few words sporadically. The current cultivation realm has also undergone many years of evolution and gradually become what it is today."
…
"Evolution, evolution, evolution."
Shen Lian repeated these two words, and then began to make a bold hypothesis based on his own condition.
"My escape method belongs to the golden elixir supernatural power, which is based on the five elements of the golden elixir condensed from the five elements of spiritual roots. This is a magic cultivation system passed down from the Middle Ages."
"The Five Elements Thunder Method is imprinted between the five internal organs. It is considered as a body cultivation supernatural power."
"That day, the Five Elements Domain belongs to the spiritual body's magical power."
"That is to say, I have had a magical power from the very beginning."
"There are three types of energy: Dharma cultivation, physical cultivation, and spiritual body. Each type of energy has a magical power. You are not allowed to use the second type of golden elixir magical power. Could it be because these three types are more stable?"
If we assume this, it does make sense.
Shen Lian smiled awkwardly on his slightly pale face.
The key lies in the Tianyan Five Elements Domain. When the spiritual body has not awakened, it is a ball of mist relying on the spiritual root. After the spiritual root awakens, it becomes a ball of faint black and white energy interwoven with the five elements, and exists directly between the flesh and blood in the body.
So, the question becomes what is the relationship between spiritual roots and spiritual bodies.
Shen Lian shook his head and suppressed the question.
How the spiritual roots and spiritual bodies evolved was not something he could consider at the moment.
If his hypothesis is correct, then is the Tianyan Five Elements Domain just an auxiliary magical power?
“Buzz!”
A ball of colorful energy turned into a ball of light and appeared in front of Shen Lian. The colorful light illuminated the entire cave with incomparable brilliance.
And in the colorful core of the light ball, a hazy black and white luster emerged from the interweaving of the five colors, outlining and interweaving each other, showing its mysterious and unparalleled beauty.
After using divine consciousness to perceive, one can clearly sense the runes floating in the colorful light.
Shen Lian used his spiritual power to outline a rune of forbidden magic and integrated it into the colorful ball of light in front of him.
“Buzz!”
Unexpectedly, the forbidden rune was integrated into the Yin-Yang Five Elements light ball in front of it, and it merged into it without any sense of rejection.
Seeing that there was a door, he continued to use his magic power to condense runes and sent them into the ball of light.
…
Half a year later.
In a low valley.
"Master, watch the net."
Sanqian was suspended in a cloud of water mist, and when he opened his mouth he spit out a large green net.
With the help of demonic power, the big net grew to a size of several dozen feet at a speed visible to the naked eye. Each line of the net was covered with fish-scale patterns and had drops of water attached to them.
Opposite Sanqian, Shen Lian stood in the air.
The big hand slowly opened and gently grabbed the incoming blue-striped fishing net.
Colorful light surged in the palm of the hand, and runes suddenly appeared.
In an instant, Sanqian, who was making great efforts, felt suppressed by the five colors. The demonic power flowing around his body stagnated, and the connection between his mind and his life magic weapon was suddenly severed.
Crack! The blue-striped fishnet lost contact with its owner, and the water droplets around it poured down. The entire fishnet was shaking in the air and was about to fall.
After four or five breaths, Sanqian finally felt the suppression disappear and had the chance to contact his natal magic weapon.
Seeing Sanqian stretching out his two little paws to pick up the magic weapon, Shen Lian smiled gently.
"It's still a little bit off."
Three thousand is but a divine thought of more than three thousand feet, and the magic weapon is only of the lower third rank. It can suppress three thousand demonic powers and is not worth mentioning.
His goal is to wipe out the Nascent Soul's spiritual treasure.
Shen Lian narrowed his eyes and looked inward at his body. The Yin Yang and Five Elements returned to his flesh and blood. The forbidden runes dimmed and turned into runes that made up the Yin Yang and Five Elements, hiding in his flesh and blood.
After his speculation and research, he discovered that the magical power of Tianyan Five Elements Domain, like the golden elixir, could actually become a carrier of magical power.
“It’s far inferior to the legendary innate five elements divine light that can wipe out anything.”
After muttering, Shen Lian did not seem depressed. He had just started to learn this magical power based on the Yin-Yang and Five Elements.
In addition, this magical power is not qualified to be called the Five Elements Divine Light now, and it is currently only at the level of interrupting the flow of cultivators' magic power.
To reach the point where everything is wiped out, it will take a long time of settling down.
Golden elixir, the five elements of heaven.
Body cultivation, Five Elements Divine Thunder Technique.
Spirit body, Tianyan Five Elements Domain, Five Elements Forbidden.
Compared with other Jindan cultivators, although there were some changes in his body, the number of magical powers he controlled was exactly the same.
In addition, other Jindan cultivators can only use one of their magical powers, but he does not have this concern. Several magical powers are displayed by three different energies.
Of course, there are flaws, that is, the three magical powers are exerted according to the energy assigned to them, and the power cannot reach the level of Nascent Soul, but can only be equivalent to that of the same level.
Rubbing his forehead, Shen Lian let out a long breath.
In the future, I will have to spend time collecting ancient books and manuscripts and study them carefully to learn about the relationship between these three types of energies in the body.
At the very least, there is a definite connection between the spiritual roots and the spiritual body.
"Leave."
Shen Lian waved to Sanqian, and the man and the fish disappeared on the spot.
"Go back and gather Dahei and Erwan's spiritual objects that can enhance their bloodline as soon as possible."
…
Return to Dongcanglan Immortal City again.
The owner of Fatty Ding's puppet shop has changed and it has become a trading store for other cultivators.
There was no way to pay the rent of tens of thousands of low-grade spirit stones a month. Shen Lian would be away for almost a year this time.
He wouldn't do it if he didn't make a penny in a year and had to pay 600,000 yuan in rent.
After renting a new location, Fatty Ding’s second-generation store opened again.
The main reason for not changing my identity was that I had been in Canglan Immortal City for so long and had established relationships with some of the Jindan cultivators here. These relationships would still be needed to collect various resources in the future.
This day.
Shen Lian was practicing on the second floor. Unless there was a special reason, he would practice breathing exercises step by step every day.
As for the puppet trading, I sell them as the opportunity arises.
Only the first and second order puppets can earn a little money, he mainly targets the third order puppets to cheat people.
Unfortunately, after so long in Canglan Fairy City, he only made a third-level puppet, and he made it for Jiang Jiyu for free, in order to repay his favor for leading him to meet the Witch Dragon King.
In addition, it is also to integrate into the network of local bosses.
Unfortunately, these guys are all very cunning. Even after the previous deal with the Witch Dragon King, he opened a puppet shop in the Immortal City, but he still couldn't reach their core layer.
He is very jealous of the skin, bones, precious blood, elixirs and minerals of the demon king deep in Canglan Mountain. I wish you could get a basket of them someday.
What to do, what to do.
During the days when he had nothing to do, Shen Lian either practiced or strengthened his own natal spiritual treasure, the Five Elements Ship.
When he fought with Lin Moya before, he only deployed 27 of the 365 Forbidden Spirit Towers on his Five Elements Ship. Facing a Nascent Soul cultivator, he couldn't even hold out for half a breath. He still needed to strengthen his power.
Three more months passed like this.
A communication jade talisman placed in front of Shen Lian lit up, and Jiang Jiyu's voice was heard.
"Fellow Daoist, let's get together in half a month."
Shen Lian's eyes lit up. After waiting for so long, there was finally a letter.
Half a month later.
Under the starry night, in the wasteland thousands of miles outside Canglan Immortal City, two beams of light rushed over and slowly landed outside a lush green forest.
This kind of forest can be found everywhere in the wilderness.
After landing and dissipating the light, the figures of Jiang Jiyu and Shen Lian were revealed.
The two of them waited quietly, and soon a roar was heard from the horizon of the night sky, and a pitch-black spirit ship flew over.
“Here I come.”
Jiang Jiyu pointed at the inky black spirit ship and smiled.
After the black spirit ship anchored in mid-air, Jiang Jiyu took out a black Panlong jade token and looked upwards.
Then, the dragon eyes on the Panlong Jade Plate lit up, and a black light went straight into the spirit ship.
"Please come aboard."
When he could no longer hear the voices of men, women, young and old, Shen Lian realized that the pressure on him had dissipated.
"Let's go."
The two of them flew into the air and landed on the black spirit ship, then walked into the hall in the center of the spirit ship.
Inside the main hall, huge pillars with carved dragons stand tall, and the dome is carved with a coiled dragon with its head looking down.
In the hall below the Azure Dragon Head, there are five rows of wide chairs on both sides, ten in each row, for a total of one hundred seats.
"Little fox, which master did you attract this time?"
Laughter was heard in the hall.
There were already more than thirty Jindan cultivators in the hall, including humans, demons, and half-demons, sitting scattered in different rows of seats.
The one who spoke was an old monk with a haggard face, a beard that reached down to his belly, and two goat horns on his head.
"Senior Yang, this is Fellow Daoist Ding Xiu Ding."
Jiang Jiyu bowed to the sheep-horned monk and introduced Shen Lian.
Shen Lian also bowed to the sheep-horned monk. The aura of this old sheep-headed monk was that of a golden elixir that had reached great perfection.
Although Old Monster Yang looked very old, he was not arrogant. He stood up from his seat and bowed to Shen Lian.
This scene made Jiang Jiyu's eyes change imperceptibly.
He didn't know Shen Lian very well, but he understood Old Monster Yang, so he silently suppressed his thoughts.
"Fellow Daoist Ding, since you have such a good relationship with Senior Yang, why don't we sit together?"
Shen Lian nodded. It was his first time here anyway, so he wanted to integrate into this circle and exchange some animal skins and precious blood.
After scanning the hall, he found that they were in good order, ranging from the early stage of Golden Core to the great perfection of Golden Core, with all the half-demon bloodlines covered. Even those like Jiang Jiyu who only had two pointed ears were well evolved.
Ever since the great demon king Canglan established his mark here, the human and demon races have stopped fighting each other, and the forbidden love between humans and demons has increased explosively.
The descendants of half-human, half-demon bloodline are really disabled, but they are really powerful because of their good talents.
With the human's understanding and the demon's blood, they all practice very quickly.
The spirit ship continued to travel under the cover of night, and more and more monks boarded the spirit ship. Later, the number of monks on the spirit ship reached more than 110, and there were not enough seats.
It was not until this moment that the spirit ship headed towards Canglan Mountain.
Shen Lian actually wanted to ask what he was going to do, but Jiang Jiyu kept him in suspense and said it must be a good thing.
"Fellow Daoist is a puppeteer. Can you make a third-grade, top-quality puppet?"
When Old Monster Yang heard that Shen Lian was a puppeteer, he seemed very interested and kept asking Shen Lian to teach him about puppets.
"My skills are limited. I can only make third-level medium-quality products at present. The success rate depends on fate."
"That's not bad."
Old Monster Yang nodded and stroked his beard. "There are not many masters around Canglan Mountain who can make third-level mid-grade puppets. Daoist friend has such skills at such a young age. It's not long before he becomes a fourth-level puppet master in the future."
As people get older, they become more cunning; the same goes for sheep.
This old sheep speaks very nicely.
Rumble.
The black spirit ship passed through numerous mountains and entered an extremely large valley in Canglan Mountain.
Outside this valley, a black light curtain surrounds it, blocking the prying eyes of divine thoughts.
After the spirit ship landed, Shen Lian saw that there were three other spirit ships anchored on the black stone field in the valley.
"Fellow Daoist Ding, please."
Jiang Jiyu stood up and said, "Daoyou, if you want to gain a foothold in Canglan Mountain, it depends on your methods."
