At this time, Huang Shan was outside Bibotan Lake. All kinds of thoughts suddenly filled her mind and she felt a little flustered. She could only comfort herself in her heart that it was very likely that Qiuyue had suddenly gained something, so she had to go into seclusion to improve herself.
This is quite common among cultivators, because no one knows when the mind will suddenly realize something new, and taking advantage of this time to retreat is the best time to practice.
Thinking of this, Huang Shan regained her composure, put on a smile again and said:
"That's too bad. I wanted to take advantage of this rare opportunity to come to Bi Bo Island and visit Sister Qiu Yue."
After saying this, Huang Shan asked another question.
"I heard Qiuyue's brother is here. I wonder if he's practicing in the pond."
Although Huang Shan felt somewhat guilty towards herself and Jiang Yun, she still had a glimmer of hope in her heart. She thought that Jiang Yun would be willing to let her return to Cuizhu Island to practice when he heard that she was coming.
At that time, Jiang Yun would not have to do anything. He could use the other party's name and cultivation to suppress other forces near Cuizhu Island.
"Oh, you mean Fellow Daoist Jiang Yun. He's currently cultivating on Mingzhu Island, across from Bibo Lake. Oh, that's over there."
The maid smiled inwardly after hearing this, and after she finished speaking, she pointed in the direction of the other party. Huang Shan looked in the direction of the other party's finger and immediately found a small black dot. It didn't seem too far away.
"Thank you, fellow Daoist."
Huang Shan saw the island where Jiang Yun was and thanked the maid. The maid smiled at Huang Shan and turned away.
Huang Shan looked at Pearl Island with a complicated expression. She didn't know whether she should go up.
Jiang Yun’s words at that time emerged in her mind.
"Sister, life is short for mortals, but immortals live forever. I also hope that after you reach a high level of cultivation, your love for your children will last forever, won't it?"
"Junior brother, I'm afraid I've let you down."
Huang Shan gazed at the island where Jiang Yun lay, lingering for a long time. She didn't have the courage to meet her junior brother, having failed him. Her cultivation was still at the Qi Refining Perfection stage. Although she had come here specifically to purchase the Foundation Establishment Pill, after all these years, she still hadn't made any progress.
On the other hand, Jiang Qiuyue was in seclusion and he didn't see her. If even Jiang Yun didn't show up, then the backers of the Huang family and Bi Bo Island would probably slowly disappear.
Without Qiuyue or Jiang Yun's presence, how can we buy the foundation-building pills this time? Can the Huang family win over the many foundation-building forces?
Meanwhile, on Pearl Island, Jiang Yun had forgotten his recent conversation with Jiang Qiuyue. His entire mind was focused on his cultivation. According to the Zixiao Xuanlu, those who could form a first-grade golden elixir were invariably gifted and possessed profound cultivation.
That's why he didn't rush to advance to the late stage after completing the middle stage of foundation building. If he still used time points to advance, Jiang Yun would probably be able to advance to the late stage of foundation building soon.
But he couldn't guarantee that he could improve the quality of the golden elixir by relying on time points when condensing the golden elixir.
According to the records in Zixiao Xuanlu, a first-grade golden elixir requires not only the complete perfection of essence, energy and spirit, but more importantly, the cultivator's state of mind. If it works, it works; if it doesn't, it doesn't. Nothing can be sloppy.
"What exactly is the right way? Or do I really have to reach the perfection of foundation building before I can feel it?"
Jiang Yun had no idea what to make of the mysterious records in the secret book. The theory of state of mind had long been widely circulated in the world of immortal cultivation, but no one had a good method to improve it.
Therefore, most cultivators follow their own will, with the goal of not damaging their state of mind. The only way Jiang Yun could be sure of improving his state of mind was by the path he had taken some time ago.
When he learned that his cultivation realm differed from the mainstream realms in the current world of immortal cultivation, he resolutely followed his heart. His soul realm, which had already reached perfection in foundation building, actually solidified even further. Jiang Yun instantly understood the benefits of an elevated state of mind.
At this time, Huang Shan, who had been wandering outside Pearl Island for a long time, finally made up her mind and set foot on Pearl Island.
"It's finally here."
Jiang Yun, who was in the cave on Pearl Island, knew Huang Shan might be coming after Qiuyue left. With his soul at the Perfect Foundation Establishment stage, he immediately spotted a familiar figure flying towards Pearl Island.
Huang Shan flew to the island and saw that the cave's formation had been activated. She understood that Jiang Yun had known she was coming. She also knew that Qiuyue didn't want to see her because she wanted her to come see Jiang Yun.
"Junior Brother Jiang, long time no see, how are you?"
When Huang Shan entered the cave, she saw the figure that once made her heart beat. She just stood there quietly, with the same appearance and calmness as before. She just didn't know if there were a few more wrinkles on her face.
"Sister, I'm fine, how about you?"
"I........"
Huang Shan was about to say, "I'm fine too," but then she thought about all the traveling she'd been doing over the years, and how she'd always been alone in the dead of night, and how she'd really wanted a shoulder to lean on. She wanted so badly to say she was terrible, then hug her junior and cry her heart out.
But when he saw Jiang Yun still standing there quietly, without revealing any of his original aura of cultivation, he immediately realized that his cultivation had made the two of them people from two different worlds.
Yes, in the world of immortal cultivation, how could cultivators of different levels of cultivation become partners? If their levels were unequal, by the time one's beauty faded, the other would still be in the prime of life. Wouldn't that be unbearable pain for either of them?
Jiang Yun saw Huang Shan's hesitation and knew that it would be better for one person to shoulder the burden of the family than for one person to live freely. But he couldn't be soft-hearted. He actually gave Huang Shan another chance. If Huang Shan was willing to practice hard for him and advance to the Foundation Establishment stage, there was still a possibility that the two of them could become Taoist companions.
Jiang Yun, who had just been pondering his state of mind, suddenly had a strange thought. If Huang Shan could come out of this, this experience at the Huang family might become a different experience for Huang Shan, elevating her state of mind.
“It turns out that state of mind and knowledge also have a lot to do with each other.”
At this moment, a thought occurred to Jiang Yun. A cultivator with little experience, compared to one who has experienced many vicissitudes of life, generally has a lower state of mind than the latter. Because one has experienced more and met more people, one's state of mind will gradually improve with experience.
Many immortal cultivators lead extremely monotonous lives, often focusing solely on cultivation. How could they elevate their state of mind? So Jiang Yun thought of the legends of his past life. Immortals experienced life in the mortal world, then ascended to heaven again, their magical powers soaring. Isn't this a good way to elevate one's state of mind?
Thinking of this, Jiang Yun gained a better understanding of how to improve his state of mind.
