Chapter 226 We must curb this evil trend of internal circulation today!
A sign saying "Do Not Disturb" was hung in Lin Du's cave, leaving Feng Yi, who had been thinking all night about how to teach the child, with nowhere to go.
But the master of the person involved acted as if "what's wrong with my disciple being in seclusion?" and didn't care when he heard Lin Du's shocking words. Feng Yi and Yan Ye didn't agree on anything and just turned around and left.
After Feng Yi left, Yan Ye did not return to the ice surface of Luoze. Instead, he stood at the entrance of Lin Du's cave for a while, thinking about something.
Considering the character of my traitor, it is not surprising that he could think of this. What is surprising is the implication of Lin Du's words.
Yan Ye was different from Feng Yi. In his opinion, Lin Du did not have any rebellious thoughts against the way of heaven.
Lin Du is contradictory. She is ruthless in protecting her family and seeking compensation for them, but she can actually see clearly every difficulty in the overall situation.
She knew where the rules were going, but she was unwilling to follow them completely.
Between the Way of Heaven and the Way of Man, the cultivators of Zhongzhou are naturally in the Way of Man. In order to practice, they move closer to Heaven, but after all, good and evil cannot coexist. For the sake of survival and the future, cultivators must certainly fight.
The higher the level of power, the more restricted each action will be by the rules of the Way of Heaven after one has chosen the Way. The so-called conformity to the Way is often the process of destroying one's nature and going against one's instincts.
Human nature conforms to the laws of nature, but there is also a part that goes against the laws of nature.
Yan Ye had a vague premonition that Lin Du might choose a new route later than the others.
Monks with talent and circumstances may choose the path in the third or fourth realm. This means that they are guided by the rules of heaven and have an orthodox path. For monks who do not choose the path, the higher they go, the more difficult the path will be. Simply absorbing spiritual energy will not necessarily lead to advancement, because if you cannot see the correct path, you cannot break through the barrier.
When practicing Taoism, "Tao" is naturally the most important.
Lin Du said that Yan Ye was only her master and could not make all the decisions for her.
The worried old father let out a long sigh. His own rebellion was no big deal, but he became worried when his apprentice was too rebellious and mature.
It turns out that you don’t feel the pain until the knife hits your body.
Lin Du didn't know that her old father was outside and was about to burst his alveoli with sighing because of his future. She only knew that sometimes the golden finger's ending was not particularly good.
For example, this Xueyuan Pill.
She originally thought it was a regular elixir, but it wasn't, it was Xue Ling's inner elixir.
What is the Snow Spirit? There is a state that is frozen all year round, with thousands of mountains covered with snow. It stands alone in the sea, rarely visited by humans. The spiritual aura of heaven and earth is transformed into the snow, which is the Snow Spirit.
When Lin Du opened the box, he felt that the head was very unusual, and it was probably so strange that he would choke to death if he swallowed it directly.
"How on earth did I get the inner elixir of this thing in my previous life?"
As soon as it was opened, the frost that had just melted in the house froze again. If it weren't for the barrier specially set up by Yan Ye in the cave, I'm afraid the entire Supreme Sect would have turned into snow in June and been frozen for thousands of miles.
Lin Du stared at the inner elixir, her green robe already covered with frost, but she didn't care.
Inner elixir is not for eating, it is naturally used for refining.
If anyone else were to come into contact with the pure power of ice here, they would be frozen to death within seven days.
The purest ice spirit root, without any impurities, has the same origin as the Snow Yuan Dan. Even so, it still takes some effort to refine it.
Basically, other people could be frozen to death, but Lin Du could be frozen half to death.
"As expected of me." Lin Du sighed.
She really admires herself.
[…That’s enough. You almost died when you got the Xue Yuan Dan.]
Lin Du smiled upon hearing this, and stretched out his hand. Spiritual power poured out, wrapping around the round snowball, feeling the turmoil inside. "It looks like it will be difficult to come out of seclusion in a year or two. I don't know if I can catch up with the Zhongzhou Competition."
She opened the timing array she had casually made, set a time, and then sat cross-legged. The Snow Yuan Pill was wrapped in Lin Du's spiritual power and hung between her hands, emitting a dazzling snowy light.
Lin Du closed his eyes, and frost slowly crept up his fingertips, then quickly engulfed him with greed. No part of the cave was spared, even his dark eyelashes were covered with a layer of frost.
The feeling was not pleasant. Lin Du was cold-resistant, but the aura with such a strong chill still made it difficult for her to bear.
After a while, Lin Du felt a sudden abnormal burning sensation after the biting cold.
After returning to the world of cultivation, Lin Du, who already had ice spiritual roots, actually experienced an "abnormal undressing phenomenon". The body's self-protection mechanism raised the body temperature and paralyzed the central nervous system in order to prevent freezing to death.
Lin Du continued to release his spiritual power to sweep away the spiritual aura of the Snow Yuan Pill and infuse it into his meridians, trying to adapt as quickly as possible.
As time passed, the house was covered with layers of frost, and the Supreme Sect also went from summer to winter.
Winter comes and summer goes, over and over again.
Lin Du's retreat was silent. Yuan Ye finally formed a pill three months after her retreat. Amid the mighty thunder and lightning, there was a faint sound of celestial music.
Yuan Ye was actually the one who chose his path the fastest among the new disciples.
First destroy and then build, there are gains and losses. After the thunder tribulation, Yuan Ye lay on the ground, with spiritual rain pouring down. He was unwilling to move, and laughed in a trance and hummed a little tune.
"What is the point of meditation? What is the point of cultivating the Way? What is the point of chanting the Buddha's name? What is the point of talking about the devil? In this world of mortals, there are you and me..."[Note 1]
"The old emperor is not as carefree as I am."
The rain gradually stopped. Yuan Ye wiped his face with his hand, sat up, and stretched his waist. The pieces of cloth on his body swayed. He raised his eyes and met the eyes of Ni Jinxuan and Xia Tianwu who wanted to say something but hesitated. He hugged his chest subconsciously, "No, when did you come?"
Xia Tianwu looked at the sky in silence, "Let me check your pulse. I see your lung capacity is good, so there should be nothing wrong with your body."
I just don't know if my brain has been hacked and is abnormal.
Ni Jinxuan turned her head and looked at the ground. "Probably when you were singing 'Sing a song of falling lotus, sister, listen.'"
Yuan Ye hissed, "Didn't you hear everything?"
"Yes, I heard it all when you started humming Lotus Blossom Falling." Yan Qing came out from the side, "Who would have thought that you would sing this after the Jindan tribulation? Aren't you afraid of being struck by thunder again?"
Yuan Ye put down his hand that was covering his chest and said, "Forget it, forget it. We are all family now. It doesn't matter."
"Being cool is not being frivolous, it is a state of confidence~"2
Yuan Ye hummed some lines he had read from some storybook, which made Xia Tian confused. He returned to the house wearing tattered, burnt and fragmented clothes.
"Wait for me to change my clothes, and then I'll go have a feast together after I return to my master's house!"
"Master is in seclusion, trying to break through to the fifth realm. You don't have to go. Master said that cultivation should be taught by Uncle Hegui and Uncle Fengyi, and you can talk to Junior Uncle about your state of mind." Yan Qing reminded him, folding his arms.
Yuan Ye said "oh" and suddenly stopped, "That's not right, where is Junior Master? She's not here at this occasion? Could it be that she went out to buy me some food?"
"Young Master has gone into seclusion. He has not come out since the night of the summer solstice when he asked for two years' worth of Bigu pills from our alchemy room."
Yuan Ye was stunned for a moment, "She's not going to break through to the Huiyang realm, is she? So soon? I haven't been in seclusion for three years, have I?"
"No, just three months." Yan Qing was worried. He couldn't catch up with the speed of his junior master's cultivation. "But before the seclusion, he was still in the middle stage of Tengyun Realm. It should be just a small realm."
Yuan Ye patted his chest and said, "I said I was going to close myself in a small room, but when I came out, everyone was gone. It's so scary."
"Not only that, but also the head brother and uncle Ju Yuan have also gone into seclusion."
Yuan Ye turned back with a stiff expression, "Is our sect... so competitive? Didn't we agree to work together happily to grow crops and eat? Why are we all rushing forward?"
Who started the source of all evil? He, a member of the Xiaoyao Dao, will curb this evil trend today!
"It's probably because of the Zhongzhou competition. Junior-master is only in the middle stage of Tengyun Realm. It's really a disadvantage for him to face those Tengyun Realm Grand Yuanman who are almost a hundred years old." Xia Tianwu understood.
"... That's fine." Yuan Ye stopped talking, "Hey... did the junior master say when he would come out? What if he can't catch up?"
Several people fell into deep thought, "This is a big problem. We bet a lot of money on the odds at the beginning."
