Volume 2: Step by Step Lotus Chapter 40: The road is long and resistant
Feng Lian returned to the academy, went straight to the Spirit Pavilion, found Wen Zhiwen, and retrieved his bone ring. And return the ethereal ring of Wen Zhiwen.
Seeing Wen Zhiwen's reluctant look, Feng Lian almost relented and wanted to give it to him.
But thinking that this bone ring came from the Shattered Domain, don't let them see any clues, and bring any disasters to yourself and the Shattered Domain.
The highest cultivation of the Shattered Domain is the Martial Sect, and the Shenwu Continent even has a large number of people who are gods. These people entering the Shattered Realm may be able to change the "Heavenly Dao" there and slaughter the aborigines inside.
If they know that their mother is still alive and will do their best to track down Chihuan's whereabouts, then their mother will be in danger.
Feng Lian took back the bone ring and found that the space inside was twice as large as Wen Zhiwen's Ethereal Ring, and he was so happy that he couldn't do it. As soon as the divine consciousness entered the person, the bone ring was automatically placed on his middle finger, and then slowly became illusory, this time not only feeling connected to his own flesh and blood, but also feeling a part of his soul.
Feng Lian saluted Wen Zhiwen and said, "Thank you Wen Pavilion Master, I will definitely repay you in the future." ”
Wen Zhiwen also wanted to discuss with him again if he could transfer the bone ring to him. Seeing the changes in the bone ring, I knew that this ring could really only belong to Feng Lian, so I had to give up.
As soon as Feng Lian entered Chu Xi's room, he asked, "Master, which secret realm is suitable for martial sect-level cultivation and can make money, I want to enter." ”
Chu Xi cheered up and said, "Then let's go to the Vientiane Secret Realm." However, you don't need to go in because of the assessment, you need to pay 5,000 Xuanjing. In addition, when you come out, the school will take 20% of your income. ”
Feng Lian noticed that Chu Xi's mental condition was very bad. He asked with concern, "Master, what's wrong with you?"
Chu Xi waved his hand and said, "I was injured a little last time, and I don't want to heal for a hundred and eighty years." You have to get used to being a teacher. ”
Feng Lian grabbed Chu Xi's hand and said, "Master, you let the disciple take a look, maybe the disciple has any way? ”
Chu Xi smiled comfortingly and said: "Your mind is for the teacher, when will you be able to refine the master's first- and second-grade elixir, and then give it to the teacher." ”
Feng Lian let go of his hand with some loss, yes, the Xuan-level elixir is not of any use to Chu Xi at all, what can he help Chu Xi?
"I don't have any spars now, only Xuan-level medicinal materials and spiritual materials, I don't know the price, can Shizun help me exchange them for Xuanjing?"
Chu Xi took the medicinal materials handed over by Feng Lian, took a closer look, and was shocked, "Boy, this is the Blood Heart Vine, which is only produced on the banks of the Heishui River, and is comparable to the medicinal materials of the second grade of the master, you can leave it to your little girlfriend." Ah, this is the requiem grass, the medicinal herb of the master's three products, this is the ......"
Chu Xi said the names of more than a dozen medicinal materials at once, all of which were extremely precious and rare superlative medicinal materials. Even Feng Lian, a self-proclaimed erudite alchemist, was stunned, but he didn't expect Wei Anfu to give him such valuable medicinal materials.
In the end, Chu Xi himself was reluctant to exchange these medicinal materials and spiritual materials for spars, and would rather take out fifty immortal crystals from his pocket and give them to Feng Lian.
can make Chu Xi, the "king of picking" of the famous university, pay out of his own pocket, and you can imagine how precious the medicinal materials and spiritual materials in Feng Lian's hands are.
Chu Xi, as always, only said that in the Vientiane Secret Realm, as long as he saw someone, he could grab it. Where, no one can be trusted except themselves. If you encounter someone who doesn't like your eyes, you can kill it directly.
"In vain, you are still an alchemist, and you don't even know the spiritual materials of medicinal materials. In the end, he rummaged through the cabinet and took out two pieces of jade slips to Feng Lian, and said, "The teacher is going to retreat and heal, and the cultivation of the martial sect level has also told you." If you don't have to, don't bother to be a teacher. In the future, you will go to Qingyun Pavilion to collect the assessment content yourself. ”
Feng Lian said goodbye to Chu Xi, hurried to Qingyun Pavilion, got the jade slip after paying the spar, and asked Qingyun Pavilion to engrave the magic circle to ensure that he could return the day before entering the secret realm of gods and demons.
Feng Lian fell into a valley in the secret realm of Vientiane. As soon as he landed, his mind was in a state of chaos, and he could barely think. It took a while to slowly come to my senses.
After two days of wandering around the valley, he noticed that he was standing still.
Feng Lian could only calm down and think about the content of Chu Xi's simple words. Since the Vientiane Secret Realm is most suitable for Martial Sect-level cultivation, if you want to go out, you must first figure out what the core content of Martial Sect-level cultivation is.
There is no doubt that the baptism of the body is the first step, which he has already completed in advance at the Divine Court level.
The second step is the expansion of the spirit crystal, because his spirit crystal is special, he doesn't know if he has completed it himself. But judging from the capacity, the capacity of his spirit crystal was only on the black or red side, and it was already much higher than that of ordinary Martial Sect peak cultivators.
The third step is to cultivate the sea of knowledge, his sea of knowledge is calm, neat and fresh, and orderly, and he really doesn't know what he should cultivate.
"A generation of grandmasters, from these four words to think, to understand, to break through. This was the only instruction Chu Xi gave him.
What is a generation of grandmasters? Feng Lian quietly slowly flipped through the fragments of memory in the sea of knowledge, and revisited his experiences over the years to find the answer.
Three days later, Feng Lian finally realized something.
A generation of grandmasters, first of all, must see the essence of the world.
What flowers are not flowers and fog, looking at mountains is not mountains, and seeing water is not water, that is all nonsense. Flowers are flowers, and water is water. This is the essence of the world, and it does not become other matter due to changes in one's subjective consciousness.
As for looking at flowers like fog and mountains as water, it is because I was deceived by my own ideology, and I walked into a virtual illusion of self and could not extricate myself.
Once you see the essence clearly, you must find a path that suits you. The big rocks and mountains that split the way forward, smashed the thorns and weeds all over the ground, and carved out a path of their own in the barren mountains and mountains of cultivation. And absorb as much as possible the forces from the outside to assist themselves in opening up this avenue.
Harness the power of sentient beings to push yourself to the top. And to guide sentient beings on their own or their own path, this is the generation of grandmasters.
Feng Lian has always felt that he should take the road of fire, everything must be centered on fire, and practicing it to the extreme is the king.
But after listening to Chu Xi talk about the world, he has changed his mind. If you just follow the path of fire, then if you are lucky enough to create a world in the future, the cap will be a secret realm of fire. Because the secret realm is a single world.
It should be right to cultivate the fire attribute of the exercises, but other knowledge should also be learned to lay the foundation for creating the world in the future.
Meng Ying and his mother once told him that all laws will return to the sect. That's the effect from the bottom up. If you look at it from the top, it is a law of ten thousand lives.
If the "sect" is regarded as a world, then the "ten thousand laws" are the mountains and rivers of this world, with wind and rain...... It's the form of the world.
From this point of view, a generation of grandmasters should have the ambition to build a world. It is necessary to know the ten thousand laws, the avenue of heaven and earth, and the laws of heaven and earth.
How to create a world, Feng Lian does not know. What the world should be like, Feng Lian has some ideas of his own.
Feng Lian portrays the appearance of his world in his own sea of knowledge over and over again, and then deduces it according to the conditions he has.
At this moment, he found that the operation of the two mental methods was speeding up, his sea of consciousness and spirit crystals were full, but those spiritual qi and essence qi that had been absorbed and refined did not know where they were.
This reminded him of the image when he was a child, when the mental method was working, the aura passed through his body, and it did not reside on him. It made him a little scared if there was something wrong with his body.
After a closer inspection, it was discovered that the spirit crystal had a root that intersected red and black, and it was also the only one with two colors intertwined.
The two-colored root tendrils seemed to be cut off by the blade of space, and the aura and essence were lost from there, but they didn't know where they were going.
Feng Lian's consciousness moved, and he finally breathed a sigh of relief. He could turn off the two-colored root at any time, preventing the aura and essence from leaking out. The mind method also returned to its normal rotational speed.
"Anyway, I won't hurt myself, and I won't lose anything, just hone the spirit crystal and be familiar with the operation and control of the mental method. Thinking so, Feng Lian let the aura and essence pass through his body.
The high-speed operation of the Nameless Mind Method made the memory fragments in his sea of consciousness also work, but there was no discomfort. Instead, he was able to quickly find any fragment of memory.
"Damn, I knew you could make the memory fragments move like that. When I was promoted to the Divine Court, I didn't have to suffer so much. Feng Lian scolded angrily in his heart.
Half a month later, Feng Lian finished sketching the basic appearance of his world according to his existing conditions.
Lingyan's soul body turned into the sun. The world needs light, it needs warmth. This is the most critical step.
The aura turns into clouds and rivers, and the essence turns into flowers and trees. This is the way nature should be.
The mountains, the earth, etc. are all illusory, and he doesn't know what to create with at the moment.
Maybe one day you will pick up a so-called perfect world seed somewhere, and you won't have to worry about anything. Everyone has the right to dream, doesn't they?
Only by finding the direction can we know where the road should go, and how to open the road.
Feng Lian was confused, so he could only pause his thoughts.
The mind slowly stops. Feng Lian found that all the fragments in the sea of consciousness did not return to his original position, but were placed according to a special law.
But when his divine consciousness looked down from the sky above the sea of consciousness, he instantly felt an extremely familiar scene.
The location of the memory fragments is exactly the same as that of the house in the strange village.
The memory fragments are classified into twenty-four directions according to the exercises, mental methods, combat skills, alchemy skills, soul skills, etc., and are placed in the center of the sea of knowledge.
Family, friendship, love, etc. are divided into eight pieces and are located in the twenty-four mountains.
This is the territory of the twenty-four mountains and the eight palaces in the gossip map that Qiu Shan said. When viewed from below, the Divine Consciousness is indeed in the shape of a mountain. It's just that these mountains are tall and short, fat and thin. It is not very balanced, resulting in the twenty-four mountains having a sense of beauty, but no texture.
Feng Lian instantly comprehended that in order to break through the Martial Sect, balancing the twenty-four mountains was the key.
As for building the world, that's in the future. But it doesn't hurt to understand some of them in advance now.
Only when the twenty-four mountains are balanced can we accurately find the origin of the world. Only by standing at the origin can we find the direction and know where the road is.
Feng Lian carefully studied the jade slip given by Chu Xi, and was familiar with the level and function of the herbs and spiritual materials.
The knowledge learned this time not only formed new memory fragments, but also made the twenty-four mountains a little thicker at the same time. Knowledge is power, this is not a nonsense, knowledge can enrich the texture of the twenty-four mountains.
At present, among the twenty-four mountains, the lowest are the two mountains of Gongfa and Combat Skills. The highest is the mountain of soul skills.
Feng Lian practiced the second "covering the sky with one hand" of burning the butt skill over and over again in the sea of knowledge, with the help of the heart of the sky and the sea, and in less than three days, he was already very familiar with it.
The mountain of exercises rises a little, and the mountain of soul skills descends a little, which is the difference between one and the other. Feng Lian saw the doorway, in fact, he didn't need to deliberately balance, as long as the lowest mountain was raised, Zhihai would automatically adjust its balance.
Feng Lian got up and looked at the valley and turned around a few times. I found that the Eight Palaces and the Twenty-Four Mountains in the Sea of Consciousness did not rotate because of their turns, they were in a fixed position. He understood the relationship between the Twenty-Four Mountains and the Secret Realm of Vientiane.
The secret realm of Vientiane is ever-changing according to one's own thoughts and thoughts. If there is no exact direction, the mountain is not a mountain, and the road is not a road. Doomed to be lost forever.
He had stood still because he had no direction. Now that he has twenty-four mountains, he has confirmed that what he wants most now is to cultivate martial arts and combat skills. The exercises are located in the unitary, and the combat skills are located in the Geng, corresponding to the exchange in the eight palaces. The valley is east-west, so he is right to go east.
After walking for less than half an hour, Feng Lian saw three sixth-order intermediate stone beasts running towards him in front of him, and took out the Abuse Sheng and rushed towards them.
Feng Lian first used one hand to cover the sky. This is a supplementary technique that obscures the opponent's view and can also confuse the opponent's senses and make his consciousness sluggish.
Covering the sky with one hand is indeed very suitable for him, especially when performing a killing move like the peerless Underworld Hand, it takes time to condense soul power, and covering the sky with one hand undoubtedly bought him this time.
The stone beast that was originally running towards him in a straight line suddenly hesitated, and its running route gradually changed.
Feng Lian seized the opportunity to play with fire and self-immolation at the nearest stone beast, igniting a raging flame in its path.
The stone beast let out a roar of pain, and the other two stone beasts woke up and turned to run towards Feng Lian.
Feng Lian had already carried the stone beast on the fire path with the torture sheng.
"Poof!"
With a loud bang, several cracks appeared in the stone beast's head, and the huge head was buried directly into the ground. Even then, it failed to knock it down with a single blow. The stone beast pulled its head out and roared and pounced on Feng Lian.
Feng Lian didn't dodge, he wanted to test the strength of the stone beast and the strength of his body.
After a muffled sound, Feng Lian took three steps back, and the stone beast took five steps back.
"Sure enough, it's a stone beast, and its body and strength are a little stronger than the Martial Sect's high-level Thousand Desires. Feng Lian rubbed his forehead and shoulders, which were a little sore.
Flames also erupted from the soles of the feet of the other two stone beasts, and a wall of fire appeared in front of them, blocking their path. Feng Lian can't let them get close, otherwise he won't be able to bear it.
Swinging his sword again and slashing at the stone beast's head, this time he was impartial, and hit it four more times in a row in the position just now, before Feng Lian smashed its head. A diamond-shaped concentrate inside was exposed, according to the spiritual material knowledge just learned, this is a Xuan-level first-grade wind spirit stone, which is a material for building a master-level spiritual weapon and increasing sharpness.
Feng Lian was unscathed, but he spent some spiritual power to kill a stone beast that was one order higher than himself.
He withdrew the wall of fire that had blocked the two stone beasts, and waited for them to rush to him before releasing the ring of fire, trapping them, and slashing at one of them with his sword, from head to toe, looking for the weakest part of their seals. Finally, I found it by cutting it to the anus.
A sword pierced the stone beast's anus, and it immediately turned into flying ashes, leaving only a piece of the ore of the third grade of the master, the Demon Stone. It is a spiritual material that adds bloodthirsty attributes to master-level spiritual weapons. It's a lot of money.
Killing the other side made Feng Lian spend some effort. The stone beast was able to quickly find a way to deal with the wind and integrity. Don't melee with Feng Lian, and don't give Feng Lian a chance to turn behind it. Constantly roaring, using sound waves to consume Feng Lian's spiritual power.
It took a lot of effort to resist the kind of sonic wind that can go straight into the sea of knowledge. Only by reversing the spirit crystal, fusing the soul power and the spiritual power, the condensed shield can resist it.
Feng Lian used one more hand to cover the sky, confusing the stone beast, and only then did he have a chance to kill it.
