Chapter 272: It's not just underestimation, it's underestimation (2 chapters in 1)
Rong held the Cuishuang Thunder Cloud Fan in his hand and waved it lightly. Then a stream of wood spiritual power shot out from the fan.
This wood spiritual power hit the light curtain of the formation, but it only caused the light curtain to tremble slightly, and did not cause any substantial impact.
He frowned slightly, glanced at Lu Ziche beside him, and spread his hands helplessly: "The formation of this bamboo courtyard is a master-level formation. Although I am a formation master, it is indeed a bit difficult to crack this formation."
After hearing this, Lu Ziche put away the joking expression on his face, rubbed his chin, and nodded slowly: "The master-level formation is indeed extraordinary."
As soon as the words fell, Yu Zhiyan on the side pursed her lips slightly. She took a step forward, lightly touched the light curtain of the formation with her slender finger, and then quickly retracted it.
Then Yu Zhiyan turned her head, a strand of her silky black hair fluttering in the wind, and asked Rong: "Rong, is there really nothing you can do?"
Upon hearing this, Yu Rong stared at the formation for a long time again, shook his head gently, and there was an unconcealable frustration in his eyes.
"This master-level formation is indeed extraordinary. If the master of the formation hadn't unlocked it himself, I'm afraid it would be difficult for us to enter."
Yu Zhiyan couldn't help but sigh when she heard this, and a trace of regret flashed in her clear eyes: "What a pity, I didn't expect that this bamboo courtyard has a formation, and there is no way to break it."
"I originally wanted to practice in this bamboo courtyard for a while. After all, this bamboo courtyard is built with Jade Spirit Bamboo. If I practice in this bamboo courtyard, I will get twice the result with half the effort."
Seeing that Yu Zhiyan was disappointed, Lu Ziche wanted to comfort her, but at this moment, the formation in the bamboo courtyard suddenly emitted a faint fluctuation.
Then, the formation covering the entire bamboo courtyard automatically unravelled.
Then, the gate of the bamboo courtyard slowly opened, and three figures walked out of the courtyard. They were Su Chenyin, Mu Xin and Leng Yue.
"Cousin, Zhiyan, and Yu Rong." Su Chenyin waved and greeted Lu Ziche, Yu Zhiyan, and Yu Rong.
When Lu Ziche, Yu Zhiyan and Yu Rong saw Su Chenyin and the other two, they were stunned at first, then their faces were filled with joy.
"Chen Yin!" Yu Zhiyan shouted happily, and quickly walked forward to give Su Chen Yin a bear hug, "Long time no see, Chen Yin."
"That's right. We haven't seen each other for three months. It's really been a long time." Su Chenyin patted Yu Zhiyan's back lightly, but Yu Zhiyan hugged him tightly.
"Cough cough, Zhiyan, if you don't let go, I'm going to suffocate." Su Chenyin deliberately coughed twice and joked.
Upon hearing this, Yu Zhiyan quickly let go of her hand, smiled a little embarrassedly, then turned to look at Leng Yue and Mu Xin and said, "Mu Xin, Leng Yue, you are here too, that's great."
Leng Yue still looked as cold as an iceberg and just nodded slightly as a greeting.
Mu Xin smiled playfully, walked up and held Yu Zhiyan's hand: "Zhiyan, I haven't seen you for three months, you don't know how much I miss you."
"Yeah..." Yu Zhiyan responded with a smile, her eyes curved like a new moon, gently brushing away the fallen leaves on Mu Xin's shoulders, "I miss you too, Mu Xin."
"Hey, cousin, are you treating me like a transparent person?" Lu Ziche interrupted in pretending to be dissatisfied, with his arms folded across his chest and a teasing smile on his face.
"Lu Ziche, if you were a transparent person, then all the light in the world would be reflected by you." Mu Xin joked, and everyone laughed.
"Cousin, are you sure I treat you as a transparent person?" Su Chenyin walked over and gave Lu Ziche a light punch, "Take my punch!"
Lu Ziche covered his chest with an exaggerated expression, pretending to be in pain: "Cousin, I was almost knocked away by your punch."
As Rong walked over, gently waving the Cuishuang Thunder Cloud Fan, he teased Lu Ziche: "Tsk tsk... Lu Ziche, you are pretending too much, aren't you?"
After saying this, Rong turned to Leng Yue and said jokingly, "Leng Yue, we haven't seen each other for a long time. Isn't it time for your thousand-year-old icy face to melt a little and show us a smile?"
After hearing this, Leng Yue raised the corners of his mouth slightly. Although it was only a slight arc, everyone present still caught a glimpse of his rare smile.
"It seems that Leng Yue, you are not completely unromantic!" Seeing Leng Yue smiling, Yu Rong couldn't help but teasing, and everyone also laughed.
Su Chenyin clapped his hands lightly, attracting everyone's attention: "Let's go, let's go in first."
After he finished speaking, Su Chenyin turned around and led everyone into the bamboo courtyard.
Everyone chatted and laughed, and followed Su Chenyin into the bamboo courtyard.
On both sides of the gravel path, rows of jade bamboos stand upright, and the sunlight shines through the bamboo leaves onto the ground, creating mottled light and shadows.
The breeze blew by, causing the bamboo leaves to rustle, as if welcoming their arrival or waving to them.
After everyone walked into the bamboo courtyard, Su Chenyin knocked on the door gently three times, and the gate of the bamboo courtyard slowly closed again, and the formation restarted.
"Let's go. Just follow the gravel path." Su Chenyin said, leading Lu Ziche and others along the gravel path all the way into the depths of the bamboo courtyard.
Along the way, Yu Zhiyan, Lu Ziche and Yu Rong saw the yard full of Yuling bamboo, and they all had shocked expressions on their faces.
"I never thought that the whole yard would be filled with Jade Spirit Bamboo." Yu Zhiyan exclaimed. She gently stroked the bamboo joints, feeling the fresh spiritual energy coming from the bamboo.
Su Chenyin explained: "This Jade Spirit Bamboo is extremely rare. It has the effect of cultivation itself, and can also absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and purify the mind. It is of great benefit to our cultivation."
Lu Ziche raised his eyebrows and looked around the bamboo courtyard: "Then we have come to the right place this time. If we can practice in such an environment for a few months, our cultivation will surely improve by leaps and bounds."
After he finished speaking, Lu Ziche slowly narrowed his gaze and asked Su Chenyin several questions in succession: "Cousin, did you find this Feng Shui treasure land? And did you set up the formation in the yard?"
"Or is this formation originally in the Bamboo Courtyard? Otherwise, we can't break it. And have you been practicing in this Bamboo Courtyard for the past three months?"
In the face of his doubts, Su Chenyin did not stop, leading the group forward along the gravel path, and patiently answering Lu Ziche's questions.
"Ajue and I found this bamboo courtyard together. Ajue is currently in seclusion in the bamboo courtyard. As for the formation, I used the formation plate that Ajue gave me to set it up."
"I set up this formation on purpose to prevent outsiders from disturbing me. I have been practicing in seclusion in the Bamboo Courtyard for the past three months, and now I have finally made some progress."
Mu Xin at the side couldn't help but interrupt and said, "It's not just a small achievement. Chen Yin has successfully broken through to the third level of Spirit Lord. Now among the few of us, she has the highest cultivation level."
"What?!" Lu Ziche, Yu Zhiyan and Yu Rong exclaimed in unison, their faces full of disbelief.
As if struck by lightning, his eyes widened with shock, and he could hardly believe his ears.
Spirit Lord Level 3! Isn't this incredible? !
Under the astonished gazes of Lu Ziche, Yu Zhiyan, and Yu Rong, Su Chenyin nodded firmly in response: "Mu Xin is right, I am indeed a third-level Spiritual Lord now."
"Boom!" The shocking sound was like thunder, and Lu Ziche and the other two were dumbfounded, almost speechless.
In just three months of not seeing each other, Su Chenyin had actually advanced from the third level of Spirit General to the third level of Spirit Lord. This speed of improvement was unbelievable.
Su Chenyin looked at them standing there in shock, and she couldn't help but smile, knowing that this speed of improvement was truly incredible for them.
"Cousin, your cultivation speed is simply unbelievable!" After a long time, Lu Ziche finally found his voice, his tone full of admiration and praise.
Rong tapped his palm with his fan, and his words showed some determination: "It seems that I have to work harder and not be left too far behind by the beautiful Su."
Yu Zhiyan also came back to her senses and showed an envious look: "Chen Yin, your cultivation speed is really amazing! How did you do it?"
Su Chenyin opened her red lips and answered, "It's nothing, actually. It's mainly due to the Jade Spirit Bamboo, which is very beneficial to cultivation."
After a pause, she looked around the bamboo courtyard and continued, "And you can feel it, right? The spiritual energy in this bamboo courtyard is several times richer than outside."
"Plus, while I was cultivating in this bamboo courtyard without distraction, I accidentally entered a state of cultivation called 'Spiritual Integration', and my cultivation level naturally improved very quickly."
"The state of soul fusion?" Yu Zhiyan's curiosity was aroused, and she quickly asked for details: "What kind of cultivation state is that? I don't think I have ever heard of it."
Su Chenyin nodded and explained the state of mind of spiritual integration in detail again: "It is a state of cultivation in which one merges with the spiritual energy between heaven and earth. In this state..."
Lu Ziche, Yu Zhiyan and Yu Rong all listened attentively, and after listening, a hint of longing flashed in their eyes.
"Chen Yin, this state of mind of fusion is so mysterious and amazing!" Yu Zhiyan exclaimed sincerely, "It would be great if I could experience this state of mind for once."
"Yes, yes, yes! Cousin, can you teach us how to enter this state of spiritual fusion?" Lu Ziche looked at Su Chenyin with anticipation.
Su Chenyin continued to lead them deeper, saying as they walked: "This state of soul fusion is not something that can be entered casually. I only experienced it once by chance. I only know that the key lies in comprehension, state of mind and opportunity."
"However, I can tell you some of my insights into the state of spiritual integration during my cultivation. Perhaps it will be helpful to you."
Afterwards, Su Chenyin explained in detail her experiences in the process of cultivation, her thoughts and feelings in the state of fusion of souls, and how to seize the opportunity to enter the state of fusion of souls.
After listening to Su Chenyin's explanation, Lu Ziche, Yu Zhiyan and Yu Rong all fell into deep thought.
The three of them seemed to understand something, but they didn't quite understand.
Yu Zhiyan pondered for a while, and a glimmer of enlightenment flashed in her eyes: "So that's how it is. After hearing what you said, Chen Yin, I seem to understand a little bit."
"The state of mind of spiritual integration is actually to let go of the self and merge with the spiritual energy between heaven and earth, so as to reach a new realm of cultivation, right, Chenyin?" Yu Zhiyan said and looked at Su Chenyin.
"That's right, Zhiyan, you understand it very well." Su Chenyin nodded in appreciation, "The state of soul fusion is indeed to let go of the self and merge with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth."
"But it's easier said than done. To truly enter the state of soul fusion, it requires a long period of practice and understanding. However..."
After a pause, Su Chenyin encouraged: "As long as you can completely relax and have no distracting thoughts when practicing, I believe that maybe one day you will be able to enter the state of soul fusion by chance."
Lu Ziche frowned, thinking: "It seems that we have to comprehend it carefully and strive to experience the state of soul fusion as soon as possible."
"Chen Yin, thank you for telling us this." Yu Zhiyan said gratefully, "I will work hard to practice and strive to experience the state of soul fusion one day."
Mu Xin was laughing and agreed, "That's right, maybe one day we can also enter the realm of spiritual integration like Chen Yin!"
"Then keep going." Su Chenyin encouraged them.
Then, she suggested, "Since you are all here, why not practice in this bamboo courtyard for a while, and then explore the secret realm."
"I agree. Practicing in this bamboo courtyard may really lead to a breakthrough." Lu Ziche was the first to respond.
Yu Zhiyan smiled and nodded in agreement: "We originally planned to practice in this bamboo courtyard for a while, and then go find you, Chen Yin, and Mu Xin. Now that everyone is here, we can practice here with peace of mind."
"That's right." Lu Ziche shrugged, looking helpless: "We wanted to enter the bamboo courtyard to practice, but we didn't expect the formation to be too delicate and impossible to unlock. We were just worrying about it, and then you showed up."
"I see." Su Chenyin nodded gently, "This is a master-level formation. It is indeed difficult to decipher, unless one of you is a master-level formation master."
Lu Ziche smiled awkwardly and touched the back of his head: "Yes, this formation is really powerful. Even Yu Rong can't solve it. We still underestimated this master-level formation."
"It's more than just underestimation, it's underestimated." Rong added with a self-deprecating tone.
He never expected that the formation covering the bamboo courtyard was activated by Su Chenyin using the formation plate made by Jun Yijue.
This... doesn't this mean that Jun Yijue is a master-level formation master?
Alas... a fifteen-year-old master-level formation master, isn't this a blow to him?
Su Chenyin thought for a moment, and suddenly thought of something. She glanced at Yu Zhiyan, Lu Ziche, and Yu Rong one by one, and said suspiciously:
"By the way, you just saw that this bamboo courtyard was built with Jade Spirit Bamboo, so you plan to practice in seclusion here for a while?"
"Of course." Lu Ziche nodded and replied, "This Jade Spirit Bamboo is a magical bamboo that helps people practice cultivation. For those of us who practice cultivation, it is naturally very attractive. How can we miss it?"
Yu Zhiyan added with a smile: "Moreover, the environment here is quiet and peaceful, and the spiritual energy is rich. It is indeed a great place for cultivation."
"We were worried that we couldn't find you and Mu Xin, but now that everyone is here, we can practice together and encourage each other."
Rong gently waved the fan, with a smile on his face: "Miss Su, don't worry, although we are not as good as you, we are not too bad either."
"Maybe one day, we can give you a surprise."
Su Chenyin smiled when she heard this: "Okay, then I'll look forward to your surprise."
"However, before that, I have to remind you that the road to cultivation is not always smooth. You must proceed step by step and not be impatient."
As they were talking, they had already arrived at the bamboo house where Jun Yijue was practicing in seclusion.
The bamboo house was still shrouded in a faint golden light, and an ever-increasing powerful aura flowed out from the house, this aura revealed an invisible sword intent.
"Cousin, what's in here?" Lu Ziche looked at Su Chenyin with a puzzled look. He could feel that the aura coming from the bamboo house was very strong.
