Chapter Seventy-Eight: Return to Innateness
Heavy snow falls in winter, making the Soul Raising Peak even colder.
Patches of white snowflakes flutter in the air with the wind.
Outside the mountainside cave, the Spirit Gathering Array was running slowly in the breeze and snow, and the speed of absorbing spiritual energy was not fast.
Compared with four years ago, there are already a few more red plum trees in the cave on the mountainside of Soul Raising Peak, and red plum blossoms bloom in the frost and snow.
Ning Anyuan, a young woman in a plain skirt, came to the outside of the Spirit Gathering Array, but she didn't feel the movement in the Spiritual Qi Misty Array, and couldn't help but sigh secretly and shook her head.
Since Ji Fan cultivated the Heavenly Dry Zen, four years have passed, and the young woman in the plain skirt has never seen him come out of the Spirit Gathering Array.
Now, Ning Anyuan is a little unsure whether Ji Fan is still alive.
There is a way to sharpen a sword for ten years, sharpen the fragrance of plum blossoms, Ning Anyuan planted red plums outside the mountainside cave, and there was no expectation for the only living disciple.
"Oh!~~~"
In the Spirit Gathering Array, Ji Fan, who was sitting on the ground, was already dry, but there was a faint imperceptible sound in his body.
As early as Ji Fan dissipated the vitality of his body to nourish his soul, his sturdy body, in the first year of cultivating Tiandry Zen, was already dry and full of wrinkles, and in the next three years, the physical body that seemed to have lost its vitality on the surface was sitting motionless in dry Zen.
Nourishing the soul with the body, not only the alien aura in Ji Fan's body, but even the Five Elements Spirit Base has also become the help of the body's continuous exudation of vitality, and it gradually dried up.
Dry Zen purifies the soul, and the body is born with the soul, Ji Fan's seemingly dry body has already undergone unknown changes.
"Oh!~~~"
Ji Fan's withered body, there seemed to be something faintly surging inside, and the absorption speed of the aura in the spirit gathering array began to accelerate.
"Buzz~~~"
When the misty aura in the Spirit Gathering Array was swallowed up by Ji Fan's withered body, a pure white soul power spread out from his withered body.
"Boom~~~"
After the spirit gathering array was dispersed by the fluctuation of the soul power of the ring, it even surprised the young woman in the plain skirt who came to check the situation every day.
The wind and snow in the sky stopped, and in its place there were dark clouds rolling and thunder flowing.
Ji Fan's withered figure quieted down, and he didn't know if it was because of the gathering of clouds.
"Takashi ~~~"
An explosive thunderbolt brewed out of the calamity clouds and descended on Ji Fan's withered figure sitting cross-legged, causing his body to tremble.
The rolling thunderstorm of fine light flooded Ji Fan's dry figure, condensed but not dispersed, and even formed a circle of thunder light.
"Ji Fan ......"
Feeling the coercion of the thunder tribulation, just when the young woman in the plain skirt was extremely worried, Ji Fan's withered figure slowly got up and entered the cave with a rolling thunderstorm.
"What's going on!"
Mu Huaisheng is not there, but Ji Fan's situation is somewhat beyond the cognition of the young woman in the plain skirt.
"Go and plug the hole. ”
Holding a pair of small eyes with a frightened little hedgehog in her arms, the young woman in the plain skirt gestured to it.
"Squeak!"
The little hedgehog jumped to the ground, twisted and twisted and ran quickly to the mouth of the cave, and his fat body turned into a thorn ball, and it began to swell, and even the thorns were also glorious.
"Why is there a catastrophe?"
Not long after, the old way with black beard appeared first in the sky above the Soul Cultivation Peak, but the clouds had already dissipated.
"Back to the words of the senior brother in charge, a spirit beast raised by the peak vein has advanced, causing a thunder tribulation. The young woman in the plain skirt took to the air early to greet her, and her response was obviously prepared.
The crane-haired and black-bearded old man swept his gaze towards the waist of the Soul Cultivation Peak, and the old man's eyes had a deep feeling, but he didn't know if he didn't find anything abnormal, or if he considered it, the old man didn't dig deeper.
After the crane hair and black beard old road left, the people from other peaks and veins were also blocked by him.
In the Soul Nourishing Peak Waist Cave Mansion, the rolling essence light thunder group was gradually absorbed by Ji Fan's dry body.
"Bang~~~"
Ji Fan's withered flesh thunder arc flowed for a while, and only then did the inside begin to expand sharply, and a figure broke out of his body.
A glow of light faded away, revealing a young man with a body covered in dragon ape veins.
"Squeak!"
The little hedgehog, whose head was swollen and blocked the entrance of the cave, shouted to the eighteen or nineteen-year-old young man who had broken out of Ji Fan's dry flesh.
The tall and wooden-looking young man had a smile on his face at the call of the little hedgehog.
The first thing the young man did was to find the jade teeth of the young man's withered and broken body on the ground.
"uh~~~"
As the young man put the thumb and forefinger of his right hand into his mouth, he put his fingers between his two fingers and a large tooth at the back of his jaw, and forcibly pulled out his own tooth.
A bloody aura emanated slightly, and the young man quickly replaced the jade tooth in his mouth.
"Wow!"
As soon as the jade tooth came into contact with the blood from the gums at the place where the young man's tooth was extracted, it didn't need him to correct it too much, and the jade light slowly fell into the gum where one tooth was missing.
The young man moved his mouth left and right, and immediately spit out a cloud of jade light.
With the click of muscles and bones, within twenty breaths, the young man took out his clothes from the storage bag and put them on, and his strong muscles were also covered by the gray robe.
Putting away the young man's broken body, the young man couldn't help but take a deep breath with emotion.
The young man did not speak, but reached out to the small hedgehog that was blocking the hole.
"Snort~~~"
The body of the bleak hedgehog began to shrink, and it was extremely sensitive to its sense and breath, and soon ran to the young man's side, jumping into his arms and arching back and forth, screaming.
The young man was not handsome in appearance, but his facial features were very upright, and his eyes were as deep as a pool.
Holding the little hedgehog out of the cave, the young man had already seen the young woman in the plain skirt standing outside.
"Teacher~Mother......"
The young man knelt on the ground, as if he had not spoken for a long time, and his voice and words were not very clear.
"Four years of Heavenly Dry Zen, have you finally returned to the innate nature? It is much faster than expected, since you have practiced Heavenly Dry Zen, your young body has stopped growing, and at this time you have broken out of the cocoon, and you are already eighteen or nineteen years old!"
The young man kowtowed three times to the young woman in the plain skirt, with the meaning of gratitude for being cultivated by the young woman.
"Your master is not here, go back to the cave mansion and be quiet, although it is said that you have returned to the innate nature, but it is too early to be happy. The young woman in the plain skirt did not ask the young man anything.
The young man bowed down and retreated into the cave, and came to lie down in front of the stone bed, the muscles and bones in his body still rattling like popping beans.
"It is said that there is no time for cultivation in the mountains, before I came to the Xuanyin Sect, I really didn't expect that it would take nearly five years just to plant the spiritual root!" Ji Fan, who came out of the cocoon, breathed slowly and sighed secretly.
At this time, Ji Fan's dantian qi sea was no longer in a dry state, but a spiritual breath thunder arc was pervasive, filled with a cloud of essence light surging inward.
When Ji Fan was lying on the stone bed for a short time, the dense thunder arc in the dantian qi sea was absorbed by the essence light group.
"Qi Refiner. ”
Regarding the line of aura aura that the essence light group surged inward and pressed out, Ji Fan knew that this was already a sign that he had entered the first layer of qi refining.
After four years of dry Zen returning to the congenital, Ji Fan has not only transformed in the past few years, but also learned a little about his own situation.
"Fan Gu Lingyuan!"
Ji Fan's young face, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.
"Whew~~~"
As Ji Fan's mind moved, the essence light qi mass in the dantian changed significantly in the tumbling, and soon turned into a rich blue light, and then turned into red light, gray light, golden light and black light.
The biggest secret of Fan Gu Lingyuan is that there are changes in the ordinary.
"After planting the Fan Gu Ling Root, what should I do next?" Although Ji Fan has endured the Heavenly Dry Zen and returned to the innate with a very strange transformation, he is not sure about the Qi Gong method in the future.
"Zi~~~"
Ji Fan's eyes opened slightly, and a swirl of light quickly appeared on the side of the pupil of his left eye, but there was no change in the spiritual vision of his right eye.
"The foundation has finally been cast, I don't know if I will have to go to the needle spirit path in the future!" Ji Fan couldn't help but feel palpitations about the pain of being blinded and deaf by countless needle spirits.
Ji Fan could clearly feel that the strength at this time was stronger than before, and even his physical body was much tougher.
"If it weren't for the Dragon Ape Aperture, which emitted the Mortal Ancient Spirit Yuan to the Dragon Ape Tree Vein, my current Qi refining cultivation could be higher, and it seems that refining the body and refining Qi at the same time would disperse the accumulation of Spirit Yuan, causing the cultivation to become slow. Ji Fan lay on the stone bed with his hands clenched into fists, and after a while, his body shook.
"Buzz~~~"
Ji Fan's lying figure began to distort, and even his head gradually turned into a silk light that had no fixed pattern and no phase fluctuations.
Thirty breaths of time passed, and Ji Fan's distorted body recovered, and there was a faint blood aura.
"Squeak!"
The little hedgehog called beside Ji Fan, signaling that it could help now.
"It's been nearly five years since I arrived in the Xuanyin Sect, and the little guy should be quite strong now!" Ji Fan closed his eyes and hid his eyes, and sighed secretly in his heart.
In fact, after practicing Tiankuzen for four years, Ji Fan's biggest entry into the realm is still the soul, and when he closes his eyes at this time, the feeling is still different.
Although Ji Fan did not diverge his soul perception, the scene in the cave was extremely clear to him.
"First of all, we must determine the qigong method, in the stage of refining qi, cultivate the first dragon ape washing trick diagram, consolidate the dragon ape tree vein, the desolate and ancient mixed original movement major in the phaseless style, the first step of the inch yang step, but also practice repeatedly, until the first step can be profound, because of the characteristics of the ancient spirit yuan, I can cultivate all the low-level spells. Ji Fan secretly considered the road he would take in the future.
It has been more than four years since he came to Xuanyin Sect, and Ji Fan is also more concerned about the situation outside the Soul Cultivation Peak.
"Although Shizun's expectations for me and the path I chose for me may not be what I want to take, and there may be unimaginable dangers on the road ahead, but I can have where I am today, but it depends on his and Shiniang's cultivation!" Ji Fan secretly called Shizun Shiniang, but it came from the heart.
Until now, Ji Fan didn't fully believe in Mu Huaisheng and Ning Anyuan, but he would not forget his roots, as long as the two of them were not evil in their hearts, he would always respect the two and not turn his back on the lineage and sect.
"Shi Niang is right, planting the spiritual root is the beginning of cultivation, and there are still many things I have to learn next!" Ji Fan hoped to have a relatively calm cultivation environment, which was the reason why he cared about the situation outside of the Soul Cultivation Peak.
As for whether he would fall behind the disciples who entered the sect together, Ji Fan didn't care very much, even in the face of Ji Ning, he didn't have too much of a competitive mentality.
