Chapter 46 I Want to Become an Immortal
Chapter 46 I Want to Become an Immortal (XV)
Liu Sheng and She Chan agreed to meet at the gate of Xichunzhai the next day, just after the full moon.
Both of them hurried back to their rooms to begin to comprehend the skills in their minds. They said goodbye in the corridor and went to their respective rooms.
In this strange disaster, practicing one day earlier may help you escape earlier. Not to mention escaping, your cultivation will also give you more power to protect yourself when facing strange creatures.
Moreover, for Liu Sheng, this might be the closest she has ever been to practicing. Although she appears calm on the surface, the excitement in her heart has long been unstoppable.
Liu Sheng sat on the bed, closed his eyes, called out the "Seven Mysterious Spiritual Energy Sutra" in his mind, and carefully comprehended it word by word.
Although it was obtained during a strange disaster, this technique is surprisingly quite normal.
"The Seven Profound Spiritual Qi Jue" is a basic and popular practice launched by Qixuan Mountain with extremely strong universality. It is suitable for practitioners of any physique, as long as they have a good foundation. It is easy to get started and very suitable for novice practitioners. In addition, its universality allows one to switch smoothly if they find a stronger practice in the future.
Overall, this is the best technique for Liu Sheng at this moment.
According to what is said in this technique, the realms of this world are divided into Qi Refining Stage, Foundation Establishment Stage, Golden Core Stage, Nascent Soul Stage and Spirit Transformation Stage. The Qi Refining Stage is divided into ten levels, and the following realms are divided into early, middle and late stages.
Although this technique is basic, it also includes the cultivation methods from the Qi Refining Stage to the Spirit Transformation Stage.
What she didn't expect was that, unlike the practice in her world, the practice here did not require a connection or perception with a specific deity. Instead, she only needed to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, draw the energy into her body, and transform it into her own spiritual power. As the spiritual energy in her body increased, her practice and realm would continue to improve.
Liu Sheng still doesn't know how this power level corresponds to her world, so she's going to give it a try first.
Liu Sheng organized his thoughts and sat quietly for a moment. He habitually used meditation to calm himself down and slowly enter a state of unity of mind and body.
She crossed her legs with the soles of her feet facing upwards, placed the Seven Profound Order on her legs, overlapped her hands with her palms facing upwards and her thumbs interlaced, and formed a seal in the air at her dantian. She began to adjust her breathing according to the requirements of the technique, trying to sense the spiritual energy of the heaven and earth around her.
At first, Liu Sheng could only feel the heat of her own breath and the sound of her heartbeat. She was completely unaware of the energy of heaven and earth around her.
It is also mentioned in the "Seven Mysterious Spiritual Energy Secrets" that it is difficult for beginners to sense spiritual energy on the first day. This requires time and patience.
But she didn't have much time left, so she couldn't just slowly make a breakthrough.
Perhaps because I was a little anxious, my breath suddenly became mixed, making it even more difficult to sense the breath around me.
After Liu Sheng realized this, she immediately focused her mind and readjusted her state through meditation. The Seven Mysterious Order gave off a slightly cool feeling that permeated every pore of her body.
Gradually, Liu Sheng felt his body begin to relax and his breathing became more even and long.
She tried to expand her mind, and it seemed that she could vaguely sense everything in the room with her eyes closed. Although she still could not sense the flow of spiritual energy, she could sense that there seemed to be a subtle, imperceptible fluctuation in the air.
Maybe it's because this place has been occupied by strange spirit.
Just like that, before we knew it, the time had come for the monster of flesh to roam the human world.
Liu Sheng slowly stopped practicing and entered a state of lying corpse.
Although there was no progress for the time being, Liu Sheng did not feel tired after practicing for a whole night. Instead, he was energetic and clear-headed.
……
The Chongdao Temple is located on the back mountain of the Qixuan Academy. It is surrounded by dark mist. Liu Sheng and She Chan, carrying their bags, slowly walk up the moss-covered stone steps. The ancient bamboo forests on both sides, covered with corpse spots, rustle in the wind.
The two men stared intently at the stone steps under their feet, not daring to look around. Once they looked into the depths of the dense forest, they could feel that there seemed to be extremely dangerous and evil things hidden in it, ready to pounce on them at any time and snatch their lives.
Finally, there were no more stone steps ahead, and a ancestral hall stood majestically and mysteriously before them. In front of the ancestral hall, two strange stone beasts were quietly guarding it, and on the door hung two red lanterns swaying gently in the wind, dividing the desolation in the mist and illuminating the plaque on the door, which read "Chongdao Temple".
It is silent here, dark and moonless, as if this space has been cut off from the long river of time.
Liu Sheng and She Chan exchanged glances and walked towards the closed heavy wooden door with trepidation.
According to what the hall master said, after they enter, they should stay here permanently until they break through.
So Liu Sheng went to Qiongxiang Hall specially to say goodbye to the pig-headed chef.
At that time, the pig-headed cook was chopping a thick thigh bone while saying nonchalantly, "You are already a high-ranking student, so you should concentrate on your cultivation. Chongdao Temple also distributes fasting pills, so you don't need to come here."
Then he waved a kitchen knife and told her to go away.
Liu Sheng withdrew his thoughts.
The wooden door in front of me was painted red, but it had already become mottled and peeling into streaks. Under the light of the red lantern, it looked more like blood flowing from the door.
Liu Sheng stretched out his little tentacle, grabbed the big copper ring on the door and knocked gently a few times. In the silent darkness, the sound was exceptionally loud.
A gust of cold wind blew by, causing the lantern to sway violently, and the already dim candlelight flickered.
In a flash, the wooden door opened a crack silently.
Dim light shone through the crack in the door, accompanied by faint whispers.
Liu Sheng looked down intently and suddenly felt a chill on her back. A cloudy eye appeared silently through the crack in the door and looked up at her coldly.
She Chan was also quite frightened, but they had both learned that screaming was the most dangerous thing in a disaster, so they kept their lips tightly shut and dared not make a sound.
At this time, the door slowly opened to both sides, and an old woman in a gray gown stood in the door. She was severely hunched over and looked quite short, only reaching the waist of two people, so Liu Sheng could see that the eye was looking up from the bottom.
The old woman was holding an old lantern in her hand. The candlelight flickered, casting a swaying light and shadow, which made her weathered face look even more eerie. However, her sparse, messy white hair was scattered on her face, making it difficult to see clearly.
"Why are you here?" The old woman's voice was low and hoarse, and she spoke intermittently, as if she had not talked to anyone for a long time.
Although the old woman looked short and frail, Liu Sheng and She Chan did not dare to be negligent and bowed to her first.
She Chan asked politely, "To reply to the old man, we are upper-level students, and we are here to practice."
"Seven Mysterious Orders, take them out."
Liu Sheng and She Chan took out the Seven Mysterious Orders. The old woman stretched out her skeleton-like hand and rubbed the smooth, wordless surface for a few times. As if she already knew it, she nodded and said, "Shang Shesheng, follow me."
She walked towards the door tremblingly with the lantern in hand. Liu Sheng saw that under her sparse white hair, there seemed to be a huge bloody hole on the back of her head, and even light pink brain tissue could be seen.
Liu Sheng and She Chan looked at each other and followed.
The door closed silently behind them.
