Chapter 16 Invitation
Just when Liang Yan was confused, another purple light appeared in the spiritual spring and shot toward Liang Yan. This time, Liang Yan was well prepared and turned around to get out of the way. Unexpectedly, the purple light seemed to have eyes, turned in the air, and shot towards Liang Yan again, and the speed was faster. Liang Yan hurriedly dodged, but was eventually caught up by Zimang.
As soon as the purple light entered the body, the whole body felt like falling into an ice cave. However, Liang Yan observed carefully this time and found that the purple light seemed to be pulled down, along the meridians, and was finally absorbed by the Dantian. To be precise, it was absorbed by the Tianji Pearl in Dantian.
The Tianji Pearl absorbed three purple rays in succession, and it vibrated slightly at this time. After a moment, it spit out a strong spiritual energy from it, and slowly dispersed to the limbs and bones.
Liang Yan was overjoyed. Although he still didn't know why, he couldn't let go of such a good opportunity. Immediately sit cross-legged and meditate, exercising your skills to refine the pure spiritual energy.
Over the night, the spiritual power in Liang Yan's body became more and more pure. After a night of observation, he came to an inference that these purple lights seemed to be attracted by the Tianji Pearl and were actively drawn from the spiritual spring. This can be concluded from Sun Qianli's side, because he was not affected by Zimang at all.
"I'm afraid there is another mystery in this spiritual spring." Liang Yan thought to himself.
But this is just a thought on his part. He does not have the ability to explore the mystery. Being able to obtain the spiritual energy and purple light of this spiritual spring is already a huge benefit. Liang Yan was secretly happy. As long as he practiced like this, he might be able to try to break through the current bottleneck of the second level of Qi training in a few days and hit the third level of Qi training.
At this time, the sky had turned slightly white. Liang Yan stood up after finishing his work. Sun Qianli also finished his work and walked towards him.
"It seems that Brother Liang gained a lot overnight." Sun Qianli looked at him in surprise.
You must know that their low-level Qi training monks are just equivalent to the great masters of the secular family. Sun Qianli still had to eat and sleep. After practicing all night long, Sun Qianli felt no physical damage, but he was still very tired mentally. At this moment, he had a tired look on his face, just like what he usually sees during the day.
Looking back at Liang Yan at this moment, his face was indeed full of energy and energy, not even a little bit tired. Liang Yan knew that this was the nourishing effect of purple light, but he couldn't explain it clearly, so he could only nod vaguely.
Both parties had their own thoughts and did not ask any more questions. After exploring the area together, they went back to the dormitory.
For the next few days, Liang Yan worked and read during the day, and late at night he and Sun Qianli came to the cave to practice. That night, Liang Yan suddenly felt that the spiritual energy had been circulating in the meridians for several days. However, when the spiritual energy reached the Baihui point on the top of his head, it began to move slowly. It's like there is an invisible invisible barrier blocking you in the dark.
Liang Yan knew that this was the bottleneck of the second level of Qi training. Only by breaking through this bottleneck could he enter the third level of Qi training. So he calmed down, constantly mobilized the spiritual energy in his body, and rushed towards the Baihui point on the top of his head again and again.
As the nameless mantra was activated crazily, the pure spiritual energy quickly gathered into a slender ball of energy, which began to surge along the meridians.
I don’t know how long it took, but suddenly I heard a faint muffled sound, and there seemed to be a gentle breeze in the empty and silent cave. This caused Sun Qianli to open his eyes and look at Liang Yan suspiciously, but he didn't find anything strange, so he closed his eyes again and meditated, and continued to practice.
At this moment, only Liang Yan knew that just now, he had successfully entered the realm and successfully advanced to the third level of Qi training. It was just that while he was breaking through the bottleneck, he secretly activated the Tianji Pearl to cover his aura, which resulted in almost no fluctuations being transmitted. Even Sun Qianli, who was very close at hand, only had a slight feeling, and nothing more happened.
Feeling a surge of pure spiritual power in his body, Liang Yan was filled with joy. However, he did not relax at all, but silently continued to use his skills to consolidate the realm he had just broken through.
When he opened his eyes again, it was already bright. Liang Yan looked aside and saw that Sun Qianli was no longer there. Apparently, he waited for a long time without success, and it was not easy to interrupt his practice, so he went back alone.
"Calculating the time, it's almost time to report to Wang Yuan." Liang Yan said to himself. However, he still planned to go back to the dormitory to wash up a little first, because he broke through the third level of Qi training last night and unknowingly discharged some impurities from his body, which was very uncomfortable sticking to his body at this time. Liang Yan knew that each level of Qi refining could improve the body's constitution, cleanse the meridians and drain out some of the body's innate impurities, making the body more suitable for cultivation.
Liang Yan walked towards the dormitory and soon arrived in front of the Xinglin thatched cottage. But at this moment, there was a person standing in the courtyard, wearing a moon-white robe, a sharp sword hanging from his waist, and a Confucian scarf on his head. He looked very chic. Arbitrary.
Hearing the sound of footsteps, the man turned around and looked at Liang Yan with a smile on his face and said, "Junior Brother Liang, I have been waiting for you for a long time."
Liang Yan felt strange, and at the same time he felt Ansheng was alert. After all, he had not returned home all night, and he did not know when this person came. The spiritual spring was of great benefit to his cultivation, so he could not reveal any clues.
With this thought in his mind, Liang Yan saluted him and said, "I have met Senior Brother Zhuo." Then he said with a puzzled face: "Senior Brother Zhuo is one of the top elite disciples in the outer sect, and Liang is just an ordinary handyman disciple. I didn’t expect that Brother Zhuo would condescend to visit me. I’m really ashamed of myself.”
Zhuo Bufan still had a smile on his face, and his smile was like a spring breeze. He replied calmly: "No, Junior Brother Liang's attainments in formations can be said to be extraordinary talents, which are rare in the world. Although I was born in Dan vein, I am also quite obsessed with formations, so I wanted to see Junior Brother. ”
Liang Yan felt a little embarrassed when he heard him praise himself so much. He could only reply: "It's just a small trick. Once Senior Brother Zhuo comes out with his divine sword, these heretics are not worthy of Senior Brother Zhuo's attack."
After hearing this, Zhuo Bufan straightened his face and said to Liang Yan: "Junior Brother Don't underestimate yourself, each of the three thousand avenues has its own magic method. At that time, my ancestor Yixing Zhenren was known as the master of chess formations. He relied on this formation method to enter the Tao and passed it down to Yixing Pavilion. This is a thousand-year-old sect."
Liang Yan blushed slightly and said, "Thank you, Senior Brother Zhuo, for your advice. I will keep it in mind."
Zhuo Bufan's face softened slightly, and he said. He smiled at Liang Yan and said, "Actually, I came here today specifically to ask Brother Liang to set up the formation for me." "What? Senior brother, do you still need me to set up the formation for you?"
"That's right," Zhuo Bufan nodded and said, "Actually, brother Wei has been refining a kind of elixir, but this elixir is extremely difficult to succeed. Especially when refining, the spiritual power of the materials cannot be gathered. , leading to the final elixir , the spiritual power dissipated, and finally became a useless elixir."
Liang Yan's mind lit up, and he blurted out: "Senior Brother, could it be that he wanted to set up a spirit gathering array?"
Zhuo Bufan approved. Looking at him and nodding: "Yes, I just want my junior brother to help me set up this spirit-gathering formation when refining the elixir, so that the spiritual power of the materials will not be dispersed, thereby increasing the chance of finally forming the elixir."
Then he said rather awkwardly: "Actually. Zhuo himself also researched for this purpose I have studied some formations, but I still can't find the key. To tell you the truth, I have a huge demand for this kind of elixir, but I haven't mastered one yet. If my junior brother can help me make the elixir, Zhuo will definitely do it. There are rewards.”
As he spoke, he opened his right hand, and there were three snow-white pills on the palm of his hand. There were white cloud-like lines on the pills.
"Spirit Gathering Pill!" Liang Yan took a deep breath.
This Spirit Gathering Pill is a rare elixir for monks in the Qi training period. It has the function of improving the monks' physique and increasing the speed at which the Qi training monks absorb spiritual energy. Especially for a monk like Liang Yan, who has complex spiritual roots and is extremely slow to absorb spiritual energy, he cherishes it even more.
Originally, the handyman disciples in the sect could receive a spirit-gathering pill every six months to assist in their cultivation. Unfortunately, the resources of Liang Yan and the others were cut off by Wang Yuan. Now Zhuo Bufan actually took out three of them at once, which was quite tempting.
Liang Yan suppressed his shock and said to Zhuo Bufan, "I am not very knowledgeable, so I am afraid that I will disappoint Senior Brother Zhuo's high expectations."
"It doesn't matter, you just do your best. As the saying goes, it's up to people to plan things, and it's up to God to succeed. Whether it succeeds or not depends on God's will."
Liang Yan nodded slightly, and then said: "There is also Liang who is I'm afraid I have to wait until I finish my work."
Before he finished speaking, Zhuo Bufan said, "You don't have to worry about this, Wang Yuan. I have already said hello over there. From now on, whenever I am refining the elixir, you can skip the chores for the day and just come and help me refining the elixir."
Liang Yan did not expect that he was so capable and could actually give orders. A disciple of the handyman and deacon, but remembering the discussion of several Qin Dao disciples that day, Zhuo Bufan seemed to have an uncle who was a cabinet elder, which presumably gave him some privileges.
So Liang Yan no longer had any worries and said, "Since Senior Brother Zhuo has extended such a warm invitation, it's hard for Liang to refuse. Let's set off now, shall we?"
"Hahaha, Junior Brother Liang is really happy. Come! Follow me to Cuizhu Peak." After saying this, he made a hand seal with his right hand, and the fixed light sword flew out in a circle, and then floated quietly at the height of their chests. Zhuo Bufan pulled Liang Yan, The two stood on the flying sword and flew towards Cuizhu Peak.
Although the sect prohibits low-level disciples from flying in the sky within the sect's territory to show respect for the sect. However, when you are usually on the road, you can drive objects to fly close to the ground, but this is allowed. After all, the Zongmen Valley is so large that it is inevitably inconvenient to rely only on your legs.
The two of them walked with their swords, and in a blink of an eye they arrived at the foot of the Green Bamboo Peak. This Green Bamboo Peak is where the outer disciples of the Alchemy Line usually practice. Zhuo Bufan, as one of the top outer disciples, has an independent cave near the top of the mountain.
Liang Yan jumped off the flying sword, his eyes still filled with excitement. He was fascinated by the sword cultivator and was obviously very excited about this first flying sword.
Looking at his expression, Zhuo Bufan just smiled faintly, made a gesture and put away the flying sword, and the two of them climbed up the stairs along the Cuizhu Peak Mountain Road.
As the name of Cuizhu Peak suggests, there are standing green bamboos on both sides of the mountain road. The breeze blows and the bamboo forest sways, and there is a subtle melody, like the sound of nature.
"It is said that this green bamboo forest was planted by the founder himself, and it hides the avenue of music. Those who are destined can even get the wonderful method of refining the soul and nourishing the sea of consciousness."
"There is also this What's going on? Junior brother is really ignorant," Liang Yan said with a slight smile.
"Haha, rumors are always rumors. At least Zhuo has been practicing Taoism here for more than ten years, and I have never heard of anyone having such an opportunity. I am just telling my junior anecdotes, don't take it seriously."
"Haha" Liang Yan also laughed out loud.
The two chatted and laughed, and in a blink of an eye they arrived in front of Zhuo Bufan's cave. Zhuo Bufan fired a magic spell and flew into the courtyard. The door opened in response, and then led Liang Yan into it.
