Chapter 108 Echo Valley: Thirty-two years! [Please give me a monthly ticket! 】
Half a year later.
In the eastern part of Yingguo, Dongshan Prefecture is located.
This day.
Chen Jichuan carried two baskets and walked swiftly from east to west, plunging into the high mountains.
Stand high.
Chen Jichuan raised his eyes and looked around. He saw peaks protruding from each other. When he was among them, he felt as if he had fallen into the forest. At a glance, everything looked beautiful.
"People say that the Three Realms Pass of Dongshan Prefecture in Yingguo is famous for its peaks, its valleys for its seclusion, and its forests for its beauty."
"When I saw it today, it really lived up to its reputation."
Chen Jichuan looked into the distance and felt relaxed and happy.
He took a boat from Salmon Island, landed at Feixing Port, passed through the "Zheng State", "Zhang State", "Xue State", and finally entered the territory of "Ying State".
The current location is the "Three Realms Pass" in Dongshan Prefecture of Yingguo, which is the junction of "Yingguo", "Xueguo" and "Fanguo".
It is said that there are more than 3,000 strange peaks in the Three Realms Pass, which are like people, animals, tools and objects. They are lifelike and spectacular. They are known as "Three Thousand Strange Peaks and Eight Hundred Beautiful Waters".
Due to the terrain, there were few ordinary people there, and it was difficult for the court to control every corner of the "Three Realms Pass".
Therefore, there are many people who are practicing Buddhism and seeking immortality and asking questions.
“Just right!”
Chen Jichuan couldn't help but laugh.
It took half a year to travel across the ocean, and another half a year to travel on land.
He also felt a little tired.
It happened that we arrived at the border of Yingguo, and the Three Realms Pass was so smart and strange that Chen Jichuan was not prepared to go anywhere else.
"This is the place."
Chen Jichuan laughed loudly, and then he heard the sound swirling at the bottom of the valley, spreading to the opposite mountain, the east valley, and the west slope. The sound was like a loud bell, with lingering echoes.
Look further down.
But I saw that the cliffs on both sides were more than two hundred feet high. The geology in the valley is not bad, and it will definitely be good if it opens up medicinal fields and spiritual lands.
So he didn't look for another place, so he stayed here.
Therefore, there are sounds from the top and bottom of the valley, so Chen Jichuan called this place "Echo Valley".
……
"Seven years after joining the world."
"A bumpy year."
"Finally settled down."
Chen Jichuan settled in Echo Valley and rested for seven or eight days before he began to arrange his residence and cultivate medicinal fields and spiritual lands.
As on Asuka Island, the land is leveled first and then a simple 'spirit gathering array' is buried.
Then, at the entrance of the Echo Valley, an 'Eight Gates of Glass Light Array' was set up with eight 'Glass Light Mirrors' to prevent anyone from breaking in.
In the newly opened medicine garden, twelve "Green Dragon Flags" were planted and a "Twelve Green Dragon Formation" was set up to prevent birds and beasts from breaking into the medicine garden and damaging the medicinal materials.
Chen Jichuan hunted Xiantian on Salmon Island and obtained a total of three formations.
In addition to these two sets, there is also an 'Inverted Five Elements Formation', known as the Small Forbidden Formation. It covers a small area and has no active killing effect, but it can disguise the mountain gate and confuse trapped enemies.
Cooperating with the 'Eight-Gate Glass Light Array', they complement each other and elevate the safety and privacy of Echo Valley to another level.
However, Chen Jichuan is currently just following the formation of a cat and a tiger. He is still thinking about the changes in the formation. He cannot control it personally and can change the formation at will.
It's okay to resist some birds and beasts, ordinary people, and acquired monks.
If it were to come innately, Chen Jichuan would have to take action himself, even if the formation was simply unable to withstand it.
However, there are many peaks in the 'Three Realms Pass' and the small Echo Valley is inconspicuous. The chance of causing congenital injuries is small, so there is no need to worry too much.
Time passes.
Since establishing himself in Echo Valley, Chen Jichuan has finally returned to his old rhythm——
Every year, half of the time is spent "offline".
It doesn't necessarily mean that it goes offline for half a year at a time, but usually disappears for a month or two.
On weekdays, he practices, farms, and makes elixirs.
He also selected disciples from the secular world and took them with him to teach him every day.
Live every day to the fullest.
In terms of practice.
Internal strength, external strength, and Taoism have all reached the sixth level.
As I continue to practice, my progress slows down.
But we are making progress every day, moving firmly towards innateness, energy transformation, and out-of-body cultivation.
There is no need to rush your cultivation.
Without support, the foundation will be unstable in an emergency.
Time in the Dao Fruit world is the least valuable, and Chen Jichuan is unwilling to waste his energy in the Dao Fruit world.
At the same time, he also wanted to use this re-cultivation to convey the insights and experiences he gained from comprehending the 'Daliang Dao Fruit', 'Qi Zhenzi Dao Fruit', and 'Anji Shi Dao Fruit' during the period before opening the Yuquan World. Confirm it one by one with practice.
First, lay a solid foundation.
Secondly, it may also be helpful for breaking through limits in the future.
There is always a limit to the daily practice of Kung Fu. Don’t be greedy for success, so you will have more free time.
In addition to studying the "Sword Diagram", "Chen Sect's Seventy-Two Methods", and "Taiyin Form Refining Method", Chen Jichuan also studies swordsmanship, alchemy, magic, cultivation of medicine, spiritual rice, and teaching disciples.
The time schedule is full and the days are extremely fulfilling.
Whenever I gain something from practicing swordsmanship, I always feel happy.
Whenever I master the refining of another elixir, I will be happy for a few days.
Whenever I understand some key points in the practice of magic and my power is further improved, I can't help but feel happy.
Cultivation is like learning.
Once you sink in, not only will you not feel bitter, but you will enjoy it. Every time I make progress, it's like solving a difficult problem. It's like drinking a bowl of herbal tea in the dog days of summer, and my whole body feels refreshed and comfortable.
Rebuild your life.
No fake elixirs, no borrowing of source power, just practice by yourself.
Chen Jichuan's cultivation level is also improving rapidly.
This year when he came to Echo Valley, that is, the eighth year he entered the world of Yuquan, Chen Jichuan had six levels of internal power, six levels of external power, and six levels of Taoism.
Six years later.
The inner strength is strong, the Dantian is opened, the spirit and energy are harmonious, and the achievements are innate.
Another ten years.
The innate internal energy fills the Dantian and is refined into true energy, achieving the second level of innate energy, the ‘True Energy Realm’.
Then it lasted sixteen years.
When a body's innate true energy is complete, quantitative changes lead to qualitative changes, transforming into innate true essence, reaching the level of endless life and cycle.
Practice "Sword Picture" to the ninth level and achieve the "True Yuan Realm" of the three innate realms.
So far.
Chen Jichuan is only one step away from those innate limits and tenth level of internal strength in Yuquan Mountain and Xuanyou Sea.
This year.
Chen Jichuan is fifty-seven years old, with a bone age of forty-one. It has been thirty-nine years since he entered the world of Yuquan, and thirty-two years since he came to Echo Valley.
……
Golden autumn season.
Clear skies.
This day.
The eagle flapped its wings, and a Confucian scholar in long robes sat on the back of the eagle, holding the reins with both hands.
The wind howled.
He tried his best to keep his body steady so as not to be knocked over and fall to pieces.
The eagle is extremely fast.
Even with one person on his back, he didn't lag much.
Take off at dawn and rest for half an hour at noon. By evening, we had already traveled two thousand miles and arrived at the Three Realms Pass ‘Echo Valley’.
The eagle swooped down.
Looking down from the sky, Echo Valley has long since changed.
Not only are there several majestic buildings in the valley, but outside the valley, there are palaces that are either embedded in the cliffs, standing halfway up the mountain, or towering on the top of the mountain.
Count carefully.
I'm afraid there are more than ten palaces and hundreds of houses.
Some people are practicing swordplay on the top of the mountain, some are practicing boxing in the water, and some are meditating on the cloud platform
Everybody looks alike.
To name a few.
The eagle swooped down and landed on the top of the kite mountain behind Echo Valley.
Wu Shouyang rolled over, his hair and clothes a little messy.
A disciple came forward, bowed to Wu Shouyang and called: "Uncle Master."
"Master, may I be in the valley?"
Wu Shouyang handed the reins of the flying eagle to this disciple and asked aloud at the same time.
"Master is in the sword pavilion."
The disciple held the flying eagle and replied respectfully.
"Okay."
Wu Shouyang responded, arranging his messy clothes and messy hair, and at the same time ran down the mountain to Echo Valley with rapid strides.
Go straight into the 'Sword Pavilion'.
I saw a young man in the middle of the palace, with his back to the palace door, dancing a sword in his hand as if playing a harp. There was a faint sound of the harp, sometimes fighting with iron horses, sometimes tender and sweet.
It’s hard to fathom.
As if aware of Wu Shouyang entering the palace, the young man slowly sheathed his sword.
Upon seeing this, Wu Shouyang hurriedly bowed to the young man in the hall, and then said: "Master's 'Seven Strings Jingxian Sword Technique' is getting more and more sophisticated, and he must be reaching the state of divine connection soon."
Echo Valley is famous for its martial arts and swordsmanship at Three Realms Pass.
This set of 'Seven-stringed Immortal Shocking Sword Technique' is the top among many sword techniques. Wu Shouyang has been practicing for many years, and he thinks that it is more than one step behind the master who created the 'Echo Valley'.
"How did the investigation go?"
The young man ignored Wu Shouyang's compliment and asked aloud.
Wu Shouyang was an elegant man. Seeing his master's concern, he himself was quite worried, so he hurriedly replied: "In the territory of 'Fan State' to the north, there is an immortal master who has become famous in recent years. His name is 'Zhang Zhihe', and he was canonized by Fan State. 'National Master'. It is rumored that this person is proficient in the method of diamond horizontal refining. He has been spreading the law widely for many years and has created many masters of horizontal training. However, in recent years, these four accomplished masters of horizontal training have disappeared one after another. The experts from all sides who were invited to fight also disappeared in Fan State.”
"Do you suspect that it was 'Zhang Zhihe' who did it?"
The young man turned around suddenly when he heard this.
Revealing a delicate, delicate and otherworldly face. It was none other than Chen Jichuan, who came from the Xuanyou Sea and landed in the Echo Valley of the Three Realms Pass.
Fast forward more than thirty years.
Chen Jichuan was born in the mountains, relying on the elixirs, magic weapons, and skills on his body to easily create a huge business.
In the first year after arriving in Echo Valley, he accepted twelve disciples in Dongshan Mansion and taught them carefully the "Sword Picture" or "Chen Sect's Seventy-two Skills".
After that, he accepted more than ten disciples one after another.
These disciples then accepted disciples.
From Chen Jichuan down, in thirty-two years and only three generations, there are already more than a hundred disciples in Echo Valley.
Chen Jichuan obtained nearly a thousand elixirs on Salmon Island. Over the years, he continued to study the art of elixir refining and refined thousands of elixirs.
Except for a few sold in exchange for medicinal materials and spiritual stones.
Most of them were given to the disciples of Echo Valley to increase their strength.
Different from reality.
In the world of Tao and Fruit, whether it is investment in cultivation, or investment in techniques such as the "Five Ghost Yin Art of War" and "Cutting Paper into Weapons", the long-term benefits are far less than cultivating disciples.
The cultivation and skills will come to a standstill due to Chen Jichuan's return to reality.
Even the Five Ghost Yin Soldiers and Paper Man will have their strength growth greatly reduced due to the lack of Chen Jichuan's daily sacrifice. They will not stagnate, but they will be relatively slow.
But these disciples won’t.
Even if Chen Jichuan goes offline, it will not delay them from continuing to practice and improve.
Wait until decades or more than a hundred years later.
These disciples are Chen Jichuan's greatest asset in the world.
Just like 'Bai Yujing' in the world of Daliang.
Another example is the ‘Chen Clan’ in the world of Dayan.
Chen Jichuan understands this deeply.
Therefore.
He did not hesitate to devote part of his energy to teaching his disciples. It may be harder in the early stages, but once the first batch of disciples become talented and develop in the back door, they can completely let go and let these disciples manage it.
This life.
Chen Jichuan began to study the art of alchemy again. He did not use the elixirs he made, and selling them in exchange for some money did not mean much to Chen Jichuan.
It's just right for training disciples.
With the experience of ‘Bai Yujing’ and ‘Chen Men’, ‘Echo Valley’ has also quickly achieved scale.
The original twelve disciples and the eighteen disciples he accepted one after another all have spiritual roots and are all of high quality.
There are famous teachers like Chen Jichuan.
There are elixirs such as Fuqi Powder, Yunqi Pill, and Xiantian Pill.
Most of these disciples have achieved success.
One after another, he either achieved innateness or achieved energy.
They are called the "Twelve Swords" and the "Thirteen Taibao" by the outside world respectively.
Among them, 'Bian, Kang, Meng, and Huang' have successfully practiced the "Seventy-two Unique Arts of Chen Clan" and are known as the four great eunuchs among the "Thirteen eunuchs of Echo Valley".
The four of them have the best relationship.
We often travel together in the world, communicate and compete with experts from all walks of life, and our reputation is quite famous. But seven or eight months ago, when I passed through Fan State, there was no news.
I didn’t know about Echo Valley at first.
It was not until last month that the four people had not returned from the triennial intra-sect competition in Echo Valley. Wu Shouyang and others realized that something was wrong. They reported it to Chen Jichuan and sent disciples around to investigate.
Finally, at the beginning of this month, the last whereabouts of the four people were found.
Wu Shouyang, the leader of the "Twelve Swords" in Echo Valley, the "Jade Dragon Sword", personally went to Fan State and made inquiries in many ways, and finally the suspicion was locked on Fan State's national master "Zhang Zhihe".
