Chapter 656: Li Yuan Cai Jing, Yu Huanzhen
Chapter 656: Li Yuan Cai Jing, Yu Huan Zhen (two in one)
Huhu~
The mirage dragon soars in the sea of clouds.
The mirage baby did not think there was anything wrong with being a mount, and was completely immersed in the reshaped body, while also observing this 'Dongxuan World'!
From her perspective, this world is infinitely vast and the spiritual energy is extremely abundant, which means that there are countless divine patterns in the heaven and earth here, and it is a true holy place for cultivation.
She had followed her ancestor to the Poison Dragon Academy, but after comparing it in her mind, she felt that the mystery of this place was far beyond that of the Poison Dragon Holy Land.
"There are so many scary auras..."
After happily swimming for a while, the little female dragon suddenly slowed down. She vaguely felt an extremely terrifying breath, not just one, but piles after piles!
"It's yours to fly."
Li Yuan sent a message to comfort him.
This Dongxuan world is vast and boundless. Although there are no traces of human beings, all kinds of strange beasts appear in an endless stream, and the powerful ones among them are even not inferior to Lingshu Taoist Boy.
This was mentioned by the latter when he took him in.
But he was holding the disciple's order, so any intelligent beast that noticed him would definitely stay away from him, for fear of being hurt by him, let alone hurting him.
Instead, those unintelligent beasts are the biggest danger to him.
Of course, except for extraterrestrial beasts like the Black Vine Snake which are extremely difficult to awaken their spiritual intelligence, most beasts must awaken their spiritual intelligence when they enter the Tao. Some special ones also need to awaken their spiritual intelligence when they reach the state of unity.
Only a very small number of exotic beasts with rare bloodlines would gain intelligence after reaching the Divine Palace realm, which was why he made full preparations before going down the mountain.
Of course, he was just used to being cautious. This kind of strange beast that only awakens its spirit in the Divine Palace realm is extremely rare, and it is not necessarily possible to catch it even if you try hard.
"As expected of the Wei Tian Dao Sect..."
After being comforted, the little female dragon became bolder again, but she was still more nervous than when she just came down the mountain and did not dare to sing loudly.
Li Yuan didn't care about him. He paid some attention to being on guard outside, while focusing most of his attention on his heart.
Comparing the two pictures of Kunpeng's true form in his mind, he truly felt the benefits of joining a sect.
Systematic inheritance, summary and expansion of experience from generation to generation are the biggest advantages of a sect over individual cultivators.
For example, scenery selection.
The picture of Kunpeng's true form drawn by Lingshu Taoist Boy is very intuitive.
Divine patterns are the cornerstone of the operation of the laws of heaven and earth, and are omnipresent. However, the operation of heaven and earth is complex and rigorous, and only those who have cultivated great supernatural powers can directly grasp them.
Therefore, the method of scenery selection came into being.
Wonders refer to the phenomena of the operation of heaven and earth. Because they are very different from the ordinary, some kinds of divine patterns will be more intense and prominent than other divine patterns, and therefore are easier to capture.
This map given by Lingshu Taoist Boy analyzes this point in detail and lists the divine patterns corresponding to many wonders.
Among them, he took the Dongxuan Jiuyanluo as an example and explained respectively what scenery needs to be looked for in order to obtain the nine kinds of divine patterns: cloud, haze, fog, mist, neon, rainbow, mist, haze and mist.
The easiest of them is clouds. You can go into the sea of clouds, concentrate and watch their changes and then pick them.
To see mist, you need to look for the time when it is hazy and drizzling, while to see rainbow, you need to wait until the rain stops and the sky clears up. The neon is a secondary rainbow, and similar to the rainbow, the mist needs to appear when the sky is overcast for a long time, while the rosy clouds need to wait until the day changes to night.
"To pick a divine pattern, one must look for the corresponding wonders and identify them in detail. Clouds can be divided into sunny, cloudy, and thunderstorms, and rosy clouds can be divided into morning rosy clouds and evening rosy clouds..."
On the back of the mirage dragon, Li Yuan silently analyzed every word in his mind.
The true form map takes the Dongxuan Jiuyanluo as an example, which actually explains the true meaning of picking wonders. After that, it shows the divine patterns needed to be found in order to refine Kunpeng's magic power, as well as the corresponding wonders.
"To refine Kunpeng's magic power, one needs to collect thirty-six kinds of divine patterns, and use the thirty-six divine patterns to derive twelve earthly evil divine prohibitions and six heavenly divine prohibitions, and then blend them with essence, energy and spirit to achieve success."
Li Yuan was extremely focused, chewing over each paragraph many times, and would only continue reading after he had fully understood it.
"To refine Kunpeng's magic power, the best way is naturally to condense the true form of Kunpeng. Use your mind to drive the true form, go up into the strong wind, go down into the sea, and it will be easy to pick the divine pattern. If you can't form the true form of Kunpeng, you need to work hard..."
"The thirty-six divine patterns and wonders corresponding to Kunpeng's magic power are as follows..."
"The twelve kinds of earthly evil divine prohibitions and the divine pattern combination methods are as follows..."
"Kunpeng's magic power is centered on the six forbidden Tiangang, which are 'water', 'wind', 'sea', 'change', and 'Gang'. The divine patterns required for the combination of these six forbidden gods are respectively..."
After a long time, he slowly opened his eyes, and he already knew what wonders he should look for and what divine patterns he should pick.
"The divine patterns needed to refine Kunpeng's magic power, most of the wonders are in the sea, and a small part is in the sky..."
Li Yuan felt that he had mastered all kinds of methods, and was quite happy. He felt that the road to heaven was right in front of him. He only needed to climb the stairs, and then supernatural powers would be within his reach.
Comparing this with the scene during the Great Luck period when he had been practicing Taoism for three years but still did not dare to collect divine patterns, Master Li Dao felt a lot of emotions in his heart, and his emphasis on the Palm Sound Talisman increased a lot.
If he had not listened to the heavenly sound that time, even with his previous talents and abilities, he would not have been able to enter Dongxuan Mountain.
"The more this is the case, the more careful we must be. The path of cultivation cannot afford to make mistakes!"
Li Yuan calmed down his mind and sensed the weapon-control talisman again. The corresponding magic weapon shone brightly. All kinds of blessings gathered in his body, and his body and spirit were at their peak.
He gently turned the bone chain in his hand. Before leaving the mountain, he had eaten a large meal of these twelve skeleton demons and they were now digesting the bones.
Li Yuan concentrated his mind and felt faintly that the three kinds of divine prohibitions in the body of the White Bone Demon were slowly turning, absorbing the bones it had devoured and slowly strengthening itself.
"It's much easier for Taoist soldiers to be promoted than for monks."
Li Yuan has a keen sense and can sense the changes.
These twelve white-bone demons of his are all top-quality. At least before the third realm, they can naturally upgrade by only devouring bones.
There is no shortage of low-level bone materials in Dongxuan Mountain. He bought a large batch of them when he visited the Spirit Beast Area yesterday. The first-level bone materials are used as food, and the second-level bone materials are naturally the resources for promotion.
Of course, no matter how fast a Taoist soldier is promoted, such a meal is still not enough.
"They need to eat at least 20 to 30 meals, with an interval of at least three days between each meal. In other words, within a maximum of 100 days, this group of Skeleton Demons can be promoted to the Second Realm!"
After checking the Weaponry Talisman, the Sky-Escape Boat, and the Skeleton Demon, Li Yuan felt that he was fully prepared and immediately used his true energy to induce vomiting.
"Oh!"
The little female dragon let out a cry of surprise, and immediately rose in altitude. Gradually, the clouds became thinner, and the strong winds gathered above the sky, hitting the true energy released by Li Yuan, making a crackling sound.
"Gang Feng Tian!"
Li Yuan patted the mirage baby lightly, and the latter slowed down and remained outside the strong wind sky.
Li Yuan looked up and saw a strong wind howling in the air, like thousands of wind blades speeding back and forth, interweaving and colliding with each other, enough to tear apart gold and iron.
Just like Dayun, there are also Nine Layers of Gangfeng Sky above the Dongxuan Realm. In fact, according to what is said in the book, there are Nine Layers of Gangfeng Sky in any Taoist temple, life star, and even in those different dimensions deep in Guixu.
This is the nine-layer barrier that protects the starry world. Even if a meteor streaks across the nine-layer strong wind sky, most of the time only some rubble will be left.
"There are also countless wonders in the Nine-Layered Gangfeng Heaven. I need to pick twelve kinds of divine patterns to combine them into the Tiangang Divine Forbidden Gang and Wind!"
Li Yuan had some thoughts in his mind, but he did not rush into this obviously extremely fierce windy weather.
The Gangfeng sky of any star will not be exactly the same, let alone the Taoist temple?
In this place of Gangfeng Heaven, not only are the winds extremely fierce, but there seem to be some strange creatures transformed from the winds. These creatures have no intelligence at all, but will attack anyone and anything that enters this place of Gangfeng Heaven.
Fortunately, this was only the first level of strong wind, and he was not planning to go in.
hum~
Li Yuan closed his eyes slightly, and a ray of golden light appeared between his eyebrows. Then, a fist-sized roc with golden wings spread its wings and flew out.
"Wow~"
The Peng bird chirped softly and landed on Li Yuan's shoulder.
"Divine pattern picking method..."
Li Yuan's mind moved slightly, and he had merged with the body of the Peng bird. He only felt the flickering light and shadow in front of his eyes, and he had already entered the Peng bird's sight. Looking up, he could faintly see the corresponding divine pattern.
This is the benefit of practicing the Kunpeng True Form Diagram to perfection. When viewed in its true form, the corresponding divine patterns are clearly visible. Compared with groping around randomly on your own, how great is the advantage?
"call!"
After sighing in his heart, Li Yuan concentrated his mind and calmed his breath. Using Kunpeng's true form as a guide, he absorbed the Nine Heavens Strong Wind bit by bit and tried to carefully copy the divine pattern.
"He is collecting the scenery of Gangfeng..."
The little female dragon glanced at him and saw that as Li Yuan breathed in and out, wisps of tangible and invisible strong wind were drawn to him, circling around his body, occasionally making a "chi chi" sound.
"With Li Yuan's natural talent and his ability to become a disciple of the Weitian Dao Sect and receive a top-level inheritance, he must cultivate his magical powers!"
The little female dragon was very envious.
The Mirage Dragon Clan is just a small clan. Although she is a princess and has a heritage, she was not very focused in her practice in the past and had never cultivated any magical powers. It was because of this that she was talked about by her clan members that she ran away in anger and suffered a disaster.
Compared to myself back then, this native boy, whose background is far inferior to mine, is truly diligent in his practice. Over the years, he has been practicing every day with almost no interruption.
Although she didn't say it, she admired him in her heart.
Now seeing Li Yuan Caijing refining the method, she was both happy and envious.
'Maybe I can try to refine the method again!'
The little female dragon thought to herself that although her realm had dropped after reshaping her body with the corpse of the mirage dragon, it might not be a bad thing.
The little female dragon was in turmoil, but Li Yuan didn't care.
He concentrated his mind highly, using Kunpeng's true form as a guide, inhaling and exhaling wisps of energy. After an unknown amount of time, he felt a shock in his heart.
"Om~"
After a trembling sound, Li Yuan felt a chill between his brows. He concentrated and looked carefully, and saw a faint wisp of strong wind floating in the sea of Niwan.
"What Lingshu Tong said is correct. It is indeed easy to pick the divine pattern after the True Form Diagram is completed... It is true that sharpening the knife does not delay the chopping of wood!"
Li Yuan was satisfied and patted the little female dragon, looking for the next place to pick the wonder.
"You've got a divine pattern just now?"
The little female dragon was shocked, thinking back to the past, even with the guidance and protection of her ancestors, it still took her more than three months to collect the first divine pattern.
She thought Li Yuan would be faster than her, but she didn't expect him to be so much faster?
Dozens of times?
Hundreds of times?!
The little female dragon changed her position in a daze, still in extreme shock.
The gap between her and Li Yuan is so huge...
"Whoo~"
Li Yuan immersed himself in it, and continued to collect scenes and make rubbings according to the method.
……
In the Dongxuan Realm, there is one land, four seas, nine layers of strong wind sky, and countless islands.
Li Yuan rode a dragon to travel to many places outside the Gangfeng Sky. Even if the time spent on searching for wonders was included, it only took six or seven days to pick fourteen kinds of divine patterns. To be on the safe side, he picked a few more of each kind of divine patterns.
Afterwards, he rode a dragon down the sea of clouds, and after traveling for another seven or eight days, he arrived at the West Sea.
Huhu~
Looking down at the West Sea from a high place, you can see that it is vast and boundless. Everywhere you look is a vast ocean. There are often howling winds and tornadoes sucking water in the sea. In many places, there are strong winds and rolling thunder.
There were also storms, tsunamis, surging waves, thunder hitting the sea... With just a slight sensation, Li Yuan saw hundreds or thousands of different wonders.
"This is probably due to the special nature of the dojo. Ordinary oceans are not so lively..."
Li Yuan admired in his heart.
The frequent occurrence of strange sights proves that the divine patterns in the Dongxuan Realm are far more active than in other places and are easier to pick. For cultivators, it is naturally a holy place for practice.
After all, divine patterns have a wide range of uses, such as refining magic power, refining magic spells, refining magic weapons, refining Taoist soldiers, refining elixirs, refining spiritual puppets, spiritual talismans... even the cultivation of spiritual medicines and spiritual rice requires divine patterns.
"But it is limited to ordinary landscapes. For example, cosmic storms, star collisions, realm fusions, star rotations, big stars returning to silence, supernova explosions... and other cosmic wonders still need to be sought outside."
Li Yuan was flying on a dragon, overlooking the scenery, his heart was surging.
Divine patterns are the foundation of cultivation, and their applications are unparalleled, but divine patterns are also divided into high and low levels. The wonders that carry those rare and powerful divine patterns are often very rare and difficult to pick.
"Kunpeng's magic power belongs to the middle grade. The required divine patterns are common, at least they are available in the Dongxuan Realm. But it is not so easy to practice high grade magic power..."
Li Yuan sighed slightly.
The Taoist Master pities his disciples, but it is impossible for him to feed them every bite of food.
This was revealed by Lingshu Tongzi when he was talking to him.
During the past half month since Li Yuan went down the mountain, even on the two days when he was busiest in picking wonders, he never forgot to chat with the fairy boy. The latter had an extremely high realm and a special identity, and sometimes a casual word from him would bring him great gains.
There are not many rules in Dongxuan Mountain, and there are few requirements for disciples, which seems to be a case of governing by doing nothing.
This can be seen from the fact that new disciples can receive a hundred-year salary.
But that's all.
If the disciples of Dongxuan want to seek higher goals, they must definitely leave Dongxuan Mountain and embark on the path of exploring the Youjing Guixu and opening up another dimension.
Not only Dongxuan Mountain and Daluotian, but all disciples of Weitian Dao Sect will have to embark on this path sooner or later.
"According to Lingshu Tongzi, most of the disciples of Dongxuan Mountain will seek help from outside before they can refine the golden elixir and condense the magic ring. The top-grade golden elixir must be sought from outside..."
"But that's something you need to consider after reaching the third realm..."
Recalling the conversation with Lingshu Taoist boy, Li Yuan lightly patted the mirage dragon under his seat, and the latter swept its tail and landed in the West Sea, where huge waves were surging.
Rumble~
As they approached the sea surface, the waves were turbulent and the sound of the rolling waves was like a thunderstorm. In the undercurrent and the waves, there were many water beasts fighting against the huge waves.
In the Dongxuan Realm, no races are kept as children. Except for the true disciples, no disciples who are in the room or listening to the lessons can be brought into the mountain gate for training even if they are accepted as disciples. However, exotic beasts are not included in this list.
Some of the exotic beasts within the Dongxuan Realm were migrated in by the Daoist Lord in the past, but most of them came from the many different dimensions that the Daoist Lord opened up and picked in Guixu.
"The sea is a hundred times more dangerous than the land."
Li Yuan concentrated his mind and sensed the fluctuations of the void in the endless ocean: "It is said that most of the different dimensions that Daojun opened up Guixu to pick fell into the four seas..."
"Roar!"
A fish beast broke through the waves, like a top-grade flying sword, crossing the waves for thousands of miles. Wherever it passed, countless strange beasts were cut in half, and their blood and flesh dyed the sea red.
"Bone Swordfish!"
Li Yuan turned his wrist, and the twelve skeleton demons turned into dark white flying swords and flew around. He moved his mind slightly and found the information of this strange beast from the spiritual beast catalog.
[Bone Swordfish: A strange beast from the alternate dimension 'Ten Thousand Seas', it has no flesh and blood, but bones like steel, and is born with a harmonious spirit, energy and spirit. It reaches the second realm when it reaches adulthood...]
“…It can serve as food for the Skeleton Demon!”
Knowing the origin of this beast, Li Yuan released his true energy. The little female dragon, whose hair had already stood on end, naturally turned around and left, relying on the blessing of her true energy to stay away from it.
Wow!
The next moment, the sound of thousands of waves breaking could be heard at the same time.
The little female dragon looked back, feeling terrified.
But under the huge waves, hundreds of bone swordfish flew out into the air, like a forest of white bone swords, eerie and terrifying.
Bony swordfish live in groups!
Li Yuan's eyelids jumped. When he caught a glimpse of the light golden bone swordfish king among the fish school, he was ready to steer the Sky-Escape Boat and fly away, when he suddenly heard a chuckle coming from the clouds.
"Ok?"
Li Yuan looked in the direction of the sound and saw a nine-colored cloud whistling in from a very far distance, arriving in the sea in an instant.
A female cultivator in plain clothes stood on the cloud. In the nine-colored clouds, only her wide sleeves of plain gauze could be seen:
"What good luck! I actually encountered a third-level bone swordfish?"
hum~
The next moment, a strong wind blew up.
I saw a hurricane like a tornado on the sea, which just covered the group of bone swordfish. Then I heard a "boom" and hundreds of bone swordfish were swept into the wide sleeves.
"What's in the sleeve?"
Li Yuan's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately felt the female cultivator's gaze falling on him, and hurriedly bowed:
"I'm an incoming disciple, Li Yuan. I'm honored to meet you, Senior Sister!"
"A disciple?"
A light laugh came from the clouds:
"What an ignorant junior brother! Senior sister, this is not the world in the sleeves, but the 'flowing gauze wide sleeves'..."
Woo~
As he was speaking, Li Yuan only felt clouds and mist appearing all around him, and then the light and shadows changed. When he opened his eyes, he found himself in a pavilion.
A beautiful female student is making tea.
"Senior sister, where is this?"
Li Yuan's eyelids twitched, and he realized something was wrong.
The female cultivator Susha smiled and said, "This is the 666th level small cave heaven, my residence..."
"what?!"
Li Yuan was a little nervous for a moment. It took him half a month to reach the West Sea, and you brought him back to me in the blink of an eye?
"Don't worry, it's just the West Sea. I'll take you there later."
The nun Susha poured him a cup of tea:
"I heard that there is a new junior brother in the sect, but I didn't expect that he is so talented. He was admitted as soon as he entered the sect. The last person who had such treatment was Junior Brother Yu."
"I dare not compare myself with Senior Brother Yu."
Li Yuan calmed himself down, and the information about this senior sister emerged in his mind.
Yu Huanzhen!
He was an inner disciple who was accepted into the Dongxuan Mountain six hundred years ago. He was gifted and had a good understanding. He was promoted from an auditor to an inner disciple in just ten years.
The fundamental method he cultivated was the 'Visible and Invisible Immortal Sword Sutra', and his innate ability was the 'Demon-Refining and Immortal-Slaying Sword'. His cultivation was extremely high, and he was fierce in killing. He ranked fifth among the contemporary disciples, and was a strong man who was expected to receive the true teachings.
"Much more polite than that bearded man."
Yu Huanzhen praised him and motioned him to drink the tea: "This tea of mine comes from the 'Xuan Yin Realm'. It has the effect of nourishing the Niwan, and most importantly, it tastes good."
"Thank you for the tea, Senior Sister."
Li Yuan picked up the cup and drank. The tea had no taste before it entered his mouth, but the aroma was extremely strong after it entered his mouth. After the hot tea went down his throat, it felt icy cold, which shocked him:
“Good tea!”
He sensed the Niwan Palace and saw waves rising in the Niwan Sea, which seemed to be growing stronger.
"Junior brother, you are so full of energy. Although you haven't yet achieved the Three Elements Integration, in my opinion, it is enough to forge the 'Divine Furnace'!"
Yu Huanzhen was also looking at Li Yuan.
Disciples have their own channels of communication, so she had naturally heard of the name of this junior fellow disciple, but she did not expect that his realm was so low.
Although his realm is low, his energy and spirit are well nourished.
"Sister, you are so complimentary."
Li Yuan felt a little uncomfortable. The look this senior sister gave him was too sharp, but he didn't dare to be rude, so he could only divert her attention:
"May I ask, Senior Sister, what is this divine furnace?"
Yu Huanzhen took a sip of tea and replied, "The divine furnace is the divine palace."
"what?"
Li Yuan was startled: "This doesn't seem to be mentioned in the five realms before God..."
"Let's talk about it after you have cultivated high-grade magic power."
Yu Huanzhen put down the teacup and said, "Picking the divine pattern is a big deal, so I won't keep you any longer. But after you have cultivated your magic power, I will ask you for a favor!"
"This... Junior Brother, with his insignificant cultivation, how can he help Senior Sister?"
Li Yuan was about to refuse without thinking, but when he looked up and saw that pair of deep eyes that seemed to contain a magic sword, he swallowed his words back.
"Don't worry, Junior Brother, it's not a big deal. Besides, if you help me, I won't reduce your reward by a cent."
Yu Huanzhen raised his hand slightly:
"Let's talk about this matter after you have cultivated your magic power!"
"I……"
"Om~"
Before Li Yuan could respond, the nine-colored clouds had already enveloped him. Then, light and shadow flashed around him. By the time he reacted, he had already returned to the West Sea.
"Li Yuan!"
The little female dragon was trembling and almost cried when she saw Li Yuan. This place was simply too terrifying for her.
Li Yuan didn't reply to her because the nine-colored clouds were still circulating around him.
"I'll lend you the Jiuyan Luo. Return it to me after you've refined the technique!"
Yu Huanzhen's voice rang out.
"...Thank you, senior sister."
Feeling the spiritual light surging in his eyes, Li Yuan curled the corners of his mouth to express his gratitude.
Yu Huanzhen's Nine Smoke Net is already a top-grade spiritual treasure. Although it cannot compare to Fang Jiuan's Nine Smoke Net, it can probably fly over 90,000 miles in one breath.
"What a bad luck!"
Li Yuan sighed. He even suspected that this senior sister came to see him on purpose.
But this thought only flashed through his mind and then he put it down.
"Refine your magic power first."
Li Yuan calmed down and began to communicate with the Nine Smoke Net.
The top-grade spiritual treasure Jiuyanluo is quite mysterious even without any magical power, and is more than enough for capturing the scenery.
