Chapter 287 Sorting out and settling down

Chapter 287 Sorting out and settling down
Li Daoye’s execution ability is amazing.

That afternoon, he had built a simple wooden house outside the small temple, surrounded it with a fence, and moved things from the yard under the Hun Tian Peak over.

Of course, the little mouse and tiger cubs were also brought over to help them get acquainted with their new home.

"Junior Brother Li, what are you doing?"

Monk Dou Yue rushed over after hearing the news, and when he saw Li Yuan carrying all kinds of furniture and other things as if he was moving house, the corner of his eye twitched.

"Senior brother."

Li Yuan put down what he was holding and bowed:

"I thought about moving here so that I can be closer to Master and ask for his advice more conveniently."

"is it?"

Monk Dou Yue was a little suspicious and suspected that Li Yuan was frightened by the stabbing of Chu Xuankong.

After all, according to the intelligence he collected, his junior brother had done this when he was in the Divine Weapon Valley.

Seeing his expression change, Li Yuan knew what he was thinking, so he simply admitted it:

"To be honest, Senior Brother, I have never fought against anyone in all these years of martial arts training, so I am a little timid. I am thinking of moving to be closer to Master, where it will be safer..."

really!

Monk Dou Yue understood.

When Longhu Temple recruits a disciple, it is natural to thoroughly investigate the background and family of the disciple. He has also looked through the information about Li Yuan many times.

Born into a poor family, he was an expert at blacksmithing, a humble and gentle man who never fought with anyone. According to intelligence, the number of times this junior brother had fought with others could be counted on one hand.

Thinking of this, Monk Dou Yue felt relieved.

But I am somewhat confused.

This junior fellow is not very courageous and doesn't like fighting, so how did he master such a powerful hammer technique like the Dragon-Tiger Hun Tian Hammer so quickly?
"Does the sect have a rule that forbids building a house here?"

"There are no rules for this."

Monk Dou Yue had a complicated expression. The rule of the inner sect of Longhu Temple was that each disciple built his own residence, but Li Yuan was the first one to build his residence on the back mountain of the main peak.

"That's good."

Li Yuan smiled and bowed: "Brother, would you like to come in and sit for a while?"

"That's not necessary."

Monk Dou Yue waved his hand and said, "I still have to go to Hengshan City. We'll talk when I come back."

"Hengshan City? This is because my previous warning worked."

Li Yuan's heart moved, and he thought of the unknown evil god cult strongman in Hengshan City.

Monk Dou Yue was wearing a Canglong cassock. Although he tried to cover it up, he could not ignore the dazzling golden light.

Monk Dou Yue turned and left. Li Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly. He had exaggerated the warning at that time, but the fact that his third senior brother still dared to take action showed that his third senior brother had full confidence in him.

"After all, he was the number one on the Dragon Ranking before Long Xinglie."

Li Yuan felt a little relieved.

Dou Yue is not well-known, but Long Xinglie is famous. He earned his reputation of being invincible for six decades by himself.

When he changed his form, he killed a warrior who was practicing Zang-Lian. When he achieved great success in opening his meridians, he fought against a warrior who was practicing marrow. In terms of combat achievements alone, he was much more dazzling than Lao Han.

Monk Dou Yue, who had once suppressed him, was naturally no ordinary person.

"call!"

Li Yuan turned around and saw Long Xixiang, whose face was younger than his, staring at him in a daze at the entrance of a small temple not far away.

"Disciple Li Yuan, I pay my respects to the Master."

Li Yuan trotted forward to greet him. Long Xixiang snorted. It had only been less than a day, so of course he had not forgotten who Li Yuan was.

"Go practice martial arts!"

Before Li Yuan could even open his mouth, Long Xixiang had already turned around and went back to the temple, and the strong energy he created made Li Yuan stagger.

Why is this guy so clingy?

"Got it!"

Li Yuan responded with a smile, which meant that he was allowed to live here.

In the Longhu Temple, the disciples are free to live wherever they want, but not everyone can move to live opposite the sect master.

"laugh!"

In the small courtyard enclosed by the fence, the little tiger cub sneered, turned around, and disappeared into the woods. The little mouse hurriedly followed him.

"It's time to live in peace for a while."

In the small courtyard, Li Yuan smiled. After getting rid of Chu Xuankong who was secretly watching him and moving in next to Old Dragon Head, he felt quite at ease.

Even a master would never dare to act recklessly at the main peak of Dalongmen.

He took a look at the small temple of Lao Longtou. Not far away was a dragon stele. Even though he was dozens of feet away, Li Yuan could still see his own ranking. His eyesight was excellent.

The Hundred Beasts Thunder Dragon had reached perfection, and he had forged several energy channels in succession, but his ranking was still thirty-first.

"It seems that it is true that if you don't climb the Dragon Tiger Tower, you won't be able to enter the top 30 of the Dragon Ranking?"

Li Yuan touched his chin and felt that this was not a bad thing. It was already very eye-catching to have reached 31 in less than a year. It would be good to take some time to calm down.

As for the Dragon and Tiger Tower.

“Let’s go and have a look after the New Year.”

Master Li Dao was thinking in his mind.

On the simple stove, Li Yuan cooked a big pot of spiritual rice, fried a few side dishes, gave one portion to Lao Longtou, and then came back to eat.

Daoye Li felt that he still had some Taoist qualities. At least he could endure loneliness and did not find it hard to practice in seclusion in the mountains.

"Well, I only need a thatched house, a furnace and a forging table, enough magical rice, endless gold, endless incense, iron materials, magical pills, and..."

Li Yuan thought about it for a while and suddenly felt overwhelmed.

I feel that being a Taoist priest is not easy. At least one needs a sect to support him. If he is alone, even gods cannot protect him.

"Even the immortals on earth need to eat."

After having a full meal and a drink, Li Yuan quickly packed up and went back to his room, where he sat cross-legged in meditation. While moving his internal energy, he was also planning what he was going to do in his mind.

First of all, it is the control of the Black Whale Hammer. He currently has no idea how to master this divine weapon at a deep level. For the time being, he can only comprehend the Black Whale Diagram step by step.

Secondly, it is the elixir.

After experiencing the benefits of the elixir, he couldn't bear to stop taking it. However, the value of the elixir was extremely high. Normally, he could only get three or five pills a year, including Wang Xuanying's share.

"I have some clues about the comprehension of the Mysterious Whale Diagram, but I have to be cautious in creating achievements. I need to look through the notes left by my predecessors."

With the gift of the 'eternal' level, Li Yuan's understanding of the Sea-Splitting Mysterious Whale Diagram has been elevated to a higher level, and he already has a plan in mind.

Longhu Temple is a holy place for martial arts, full of martial arts and various notes left by predecessors, which is a huge help.

"The trouble is the elixir."

Li Yuan sensed the space of the military command, or rather, one of the incense burners, which contained Chu Xuankong's "gift".

As the deputy head of Longyin Hall and an influential figure in Hengshan City, Chu Xuankong's wealth is naturally very rich.

In that unknown animal skin bag, there were as many as 320,000 taels of gold notes alone, a sum that even made him stare at the astonishment of his gains.

In addition, there are more than ten taels of gold essence.

Chu Xuankong, who was fleeing, naturally only carried the most convenient things with him. He could not have big things like house deeds and minerals.

The elixir that Li Yuan cared about the most, however, was not available at all.

"You used it all to break through to Grandmaster level, right?"

Li Yuan was not surprised. As far as he knew, in order to break through to the Grandmaster level, one needed to prepare a large number of elixirs and other things.

Even if the breakthrough fails, I won’t retreat. “A magic pill.”

Li Yuan had a headache.

The elixirs he has now should be enough to support him in cultivating the Thirteen Forms of the Ten Thousand Blades Spirit Dragon to the seventh level, but after that, he will be completely out of elixirs to take.

There are not many ways to obtain elixirs in Longhu Temple.

Li Yuan had inquired about it in detail before, and there were three routes in total.

First, it is about the position. The Taoist master, sect master, hall master, helmsman and deputy helmsman all have a certain share of elixirs every year.

The treatment of a true disciple is equivalent to that of a deputy hall master, and a Daozi is equivalent to that of a deputy sect master.

The second is to be on the Dragon and Tiger list, with a few shares every year, and finally, of course, it is contribution.

Those who have made contributions to the sect can receive rewards, whether it is elixirs, martial arts, or magic weapons, but this requires completing a large number of tasks.

"Either become a true disciple, or create a top-grade famous weapon or divine weapon. As for carrying out missions, forget it. The cost-effectiveness is too low."

Li Yuan was thinking in his heart.

It is impossible for him to carry out the mission. After joining Zhaixing Tower for many years, Master Li Dao has still completed zero missions.

His thoughts were scattered, and ideas arose in Li Yuan's mind, which he refuted one by one.

The more he thought about it, the more confused he became. He found that he had too many things to do.

Martial arts training, visualization, Mysterious Whale Diagram, preparing magical weapons, elixirs, changing bones, listening to incense, and the Thousand Spirits Stele...

"Let's take one step at a time."

After a long time, Li Yuan let out a long sigh, closed his eyes and began to meditate.

Knowing that visualization might be related to the divine realm, his emphasis on visualization suddenly increased several degrees.

"call!"

In the middle of the night, Li Yuan opened his eyes. He had just taken a short nap and found that he was not pulled into that unknown divine realm.

"Are you waiting for me to complete my meridians? Or is it because the old dragon head is here?"

Li Yuan changed his mind and closed his eyes again. As he thought, a cool feeling flowed out from between his eyebrows and circulated downward along his meridians.

With the blessing of eternal talent, Li Yuan's understanding of the various martial arts he had learned had risen to more than one level, and he now had a clue about the subsequent method of worshiping gods.

"Looking for God!"

There was a cold and a hot feeling in my body, which repelled each other. Li Yuan seemed unaware and guided me downwards. Soon, I reached my left foot.

hum~
It was like a bronze bell was ringing in my ears.

Li Yuan was shocked, and in a trance, he seemed to see a beating "heart".

The 'heart' in the left foot was beating slightly, breathing in and out internal energy.

"Is this 'God'?"

Li Yuan suddenly realized that this "heart" should be the "god" mentioned in the worship of gods.

"Does the meaning of seeking the God mean to include this 'heart' in the circulation of the Qi meridians? What is this 'heart'?"

"The ultimate truth is not complicated, and the truth is preserved. There are spirits in every joint of the Niwan... This heart, or 'spirit', should be an acupoint?"

Li Yuan murmured in his heart.

The final step in achieving Tongmai Mastery is to transform the intersection of all the energy meridians into a 'Qi Sea'. The amount of internal Qi that the Qi Sea can accommodate determines the strength of the Tongmai warrior.

It is also related to the subsequent 'internal qi transformation', the strength of the true qi, and even the subsequent marrow refining and blood transfusion.

"Does practicing the God Worship Method mean having two 'Qi Seas'? No, the Divine Foot Sutra has two pairs of feet, which means there are three Qi Seas?"

Li Yuan felt that he seemed to understand the horror of the worship method.

This peerless magic skill is not just the Shenzu Sutra. As far as he knows, there are more than ten branches. How many Qi Seas would this require?
"Good stuff."

Li Yuan withdrew his visualization of his spiritual self, having already found the God, and the next step was naturally to 'describe the God'.

According to his understanding, this 'acupoint' is to be regarded as the 'sea of ​​qi' and integrated into one's own internal qi circulation, and then, it is the left foot.

"There are gods in every joint of the Niwan..."

Inside the house, Li Yuan opened his eyes and saw some light in the sky. Then he yawned and went to sleep.

……

Early the next morning, Li Yuan took his hammer and went out. He first worked on iron at Chungang Peak for a long time. Afterwards, he went to the library and borrowed a thick stack of various notes from previous generations.

As well as many lower-level and middle-level martial arts, which he had carefully selected, half of which were light skills and footwork, and the other half were various hammer techniques.

The forms that can be changed after these martial arts are perfected can all be used to supplement the Thunder Dragon of Beasts.

In the afternoon, Li Yuan did not forge iron, but practiced martial arts while standing still, or read various books, preparing to comprehend the Diagram of the Mysterious Whale Splitting the Sea.

Before nightfall, I would stew a big pot of spiritual rice and take it to accompany the old dragon head, to chat or ask for advice, so as to deepen the impression of myself in the heart of the cheap master.

Old man Long, whose forgetfulness is close to Alzheimer's, is the strongest opponent that Master Li Dao, who considers himself a professional in coaxing old men, has ever encountered.

Forging iron, practicing martial arts, visualizing, building up the Qi channels, and comprehending the Mysterious Whale Diagram...

The waves caused by Chu Xuankong's death are still spreading, but Li Yuan's life has returned to its previous calm, boring and regular state.

With the gift of eternity, in less than three days, Li Yuan had forged the tenth meridian, and the Dragon Zen Diamond Sutra was also completed.

The progress of the Dragon-Tiger Hun Tian Hammer is even more terrifying. After only three days of great success, it has already entered the fourth level, which is comparable to the level of perfection of the highest secret teachings.

Sometimes, he would get too quiet and want to move around, so he would go for a walk outside the gate, chat with Wang Peiyao, Gao Gang and others, have a meal, and stay under the stone plaque of the ancestor for a while.

……

"These two ancestors won't release the eagle until they see the rabbit!"

Inside the mountain gate, Li Yuan leaned against the pergola with his hands and looked up at the stone plaque high in the sky.

Every time he came to the outer sect, he would replace the Sea-Splitting Mysterious Whale Hammer, but because of this, he could not get the recognition of these two ancestors.

"Try it tonight?"

The noise of the dragon and tiger appearing together was too loud, and Li Yuan was somewhat suspicious, but when he thought about the eighth-level incense in the Qianling Saving People Monument...

"The Taoist master is about to return to the mountain."

Li Yuan was ready to hand in the Thousand Spirits Stele, but he had to get the incense out first.

"Let's try it tonight."

After taking another look at the stone plaque at the mountain gate, Li Yuan shook his head helplessly and turned back to the mountain.

……

……

Huhu~
Above the sea of ​​clouds, strong winds howled, strong enough to tear steel apart.

A golden eagle with a wingspan of more than ten feet was soaring in the sky, sometimes rising and sometimes diving at an extremely fast speed, leaving behind long-lasting traces wherever it passed.

The wind whistled, but it could not affect the eagle's back.

A layer of almost invisible barrier separates the inside and the outside, and even an airflow strong enough to tear steel apart cannot shake it in the slightest.

Inside the barrier, two people sat quietly playing chess.

"Brother, Shen Qisheng has always been lax and unwilling to join even the sect, so why would he agree to the invitation from the court?"

The speaker was holding a black knife and wearing a Taoist robe. His hair and beard were half white and half black. Although he was very old, his face was as rosy as a baby's and his eyes were clear.

"There are not many people in this world who can attract him. At this time, it is naturally for the Bafang Temple."

The one holding the white chess piece was an old monk in a monk's robe, his face full of traces of time. He put down the chess piece, but his eyes drifted toward the sea of ​​clouds:

"It's a pity that even the Dragon Demon Daoist can't enter the place, so what right does he have?"
