Chapter 31: Counting the Harvest
When it was dawn, Li Jingxuan, who had finished his work, naturally didn't know what judgment someone in the Ancestral Spirit Hall camp had made. He was also cautious, and he did not deliberately approach the camp of the Ancestral Spirit Hall, and of course he did not know the fact that there were three messenger harrier eagles flapping their wings and flying into the distance.
Because of ignorance, peace of mind...... At the moment when the sun rose, Li Jingxuan returned to his cave where he had been slightly hidden and defended, ready to recuperate his spirit and restore his strength.
A night of hunting was very mentally and physically exhausting, especially when Li Jingxuan had just broken through the forging body and entered the Qi Induction Realm. Originally, the soul consumed by his Qi cultivation was in urgent need of recuperation, which would have taken more than ten days.
However, Li Jingxuan can't wait. He knew better than anyone the urgency of time. Therefore, he directly started a war against the Ancestral Spirit Palace, and the spirit that had been warmed up during the day was consumed, and the whole person once again became the miserable appearance of a ghost when he broke through the Qi Channeling Realm.
"I guess I'm going to keep this little white face for a long time. Li Jingxuan casually released an ice mirror technique, and saw the appearance in front of him from the flat and smooth mirror, and smiled helplessly.
It's obviously not healthy white.
But, he couldn't change that.
After all, the reality of the situation does not allow him to play those suave and elegant and make those calm.
"Hmm...... Hurry up and take a break. There's one more operation tonight. Li Jingxuan thought so. He sat cross-legged in the corner of the cave deep in the cave where he had ascended to breath, and after exhaling deeply, he quickly immersed himself in a state of concentration.
The vitality follows his tendons and veins, and constantly travels according to the practice route of the "Ruoshui Decision" Qi Induction Realm that he has cultivated, and one after another Great Zhou Tian is moving, constantly absorbing the vitality of heaven and earth through the Baihui acupoints above his head, and guiding these vitality to his own dantian, refining it through the qi at his dantian, and then disseminating some of these vitality from the tendons and veins to the body to nourish his physical body.
This was Li Jingxuan's second cultivation of the Qi Induction Realm, although it was the same as the first time, it was mainly to warm the soul and strengthen the vitality, but the obvious sense of pleasure he felt when he cultivated still made him unable to extricate himself.
If he had a choice, he really wanted to keep cultivating and reach a limit. Don't say anything about eating and drinking, after breaking into the Qi Cultivation Realm and placing a nourishing Qi seed in his dantian, Li Jingxuan already has the ability to refine the valley that only a master of the God Refining Realm has. Although his ability to open the valley is slightly inferior to that of a true master of the God Refining Realm, and he can't completely open the valley, he can still do it just by sitting in retreat for ten days and half a month.
Cultivation did not know the time, and after allowing the vitality to run in the body for seven hundred and forty-nine Great Zhou Tian cycles, Li Jingxuan opened his eyes. He felt the situation in his body for a moment, and a smile of relief first appeared on his face, and then he thought with a sigh: "Alas...... It's a pity that the timing is not right. Otherwise, after a retreat, my level will definitely improve again. Although it is not said that it can advance to the middle stage of the Qi Extraction Realm, it is still completely possible to stabilize the early stage of Qi Channeling. What a shame!"
"If I have the chance, I will definitely find a place to retreat as soon as possible. Li Jingxuan thought so. Improving his strength is also a very important thing for him.
However, at the moment, there is a more urgent key than improving their strength - that is, to thwart the siege of the Ancestral Spirit Hall as soon as possible and get out of their sight.
"It's imminent...... If I don't get rid of them, I'm dead!" Li Jingxuan thought.
At this time, the cave is dim and secluded. In the depths of the cave, he didn't know what time it was, if it was time for him to hunt again.
However, it seems that the matter of going out to hunt can be put aside for the time being. Li Jingxuan felt that he had more important things to complete, that is, sorting out yesterday's seizures.
Unlike the disciples of the Ancestral Spirit Palace, who had complete sect support and a hidden supply route, Li Jingxuan, who was currently fighting alone, did not have any stable source of supply. If he encounters any trouble such as injury or poisoning in battle, he can only wait for the passage of time to recover slowly and naturally, except for meditation and recovery. If he encounters some people who use special exercises, and encounters a blow with special attributes, after hitting some tricks that can continue to inflict damage, he is afraid that even the possibility of natural recovery does not exist.
It's a pretty scary thing.
Li Jingxuan didn't dare to guarantee that he wouldn't get hurt, and he didn't dare to guarantee that he wouldn't encounter such an enemy.
Therefore, he had to collect as many materials as possible, such as pills and magic weapons.
Without the support of a stable sect, destroy the enemy and take the supplies you need from the enemy.
As the song goes: "...... No guns, no artillery, the enemy made it for us!"
In the cave, Li Jingxuan opened the storage pouch that had lost the seal because the owner was dead, and poured out all the contents inside.
It is different from storage equipment such as storage rings and storage bracelets that directly open up a space in the void and connect it to a specific circle and etch it on the corresponding artifact.
The storage pouch is actually the use of the volume space of the pouch itself, which can be folded and expanded, so as to equip more materials. This kind of technology that uses space is technically low-end, and it is quite easy to manufacture.
A powerful sect like the Ancestral Spirit Hall even equipped each of the outer disciples who went out to run errands. Although what they equipped the outer disciples with was also the lowest end of the storage skin, they finally solved the problem of whether there was or not.
The storage skins that appeared in Li Jingxuan's hands at the moment were all of the same size, and their volumes were roughly the same.
Li Jingxuan probed his spirit into it and checked it, and the result of the calculation was three cubic meters. Such a large space may not be enough for a master, but it is enough for an outer disciple in the forging period.
"There is nothing good about the outer disciples. Li Jingxuan had already estimated this, but after opening all the thirty storage skins and dumping the contents on the ground, he had to confirm the authenticity of this sentence again.
The counting of the trophies was completed after a quarter of an hour. The final results were: 9,362 lower-grade Vitality Stones, 18 Middle-grade Vitality Stones, 3 bottles of Qi Nourishing Pill, 5 bottles of Bone Strengthening Pill, 2 bottles of Water Spirit Pill, 1 bottle of Fire Spirit Pill, 1 bottle of Netherworld Pill, 18 red-level martial arts, 11 orange-level martial arts techniques, 8 yellow-level martial arts techniques, 6 strange magic weapons that I don't know how to use, and some miscellaneous things plundered from the Qianguo compatriots, such as belly pockets, swords, daggers, martial arts of Jianghu people, and a seemingly ancient leather scroll.
"Qi Nourishing Pill, Bone Strengthening Pill, Water Spirit Pill...... Although they are all pills that I can use, they are too low-grade. If I'm in the forging realm, these are also suitable for use. But now that I've advanced to the Qi Channeling Realm, these things are really ...... Three bottles of Qi Nourishing Pill are not as effective as two Peiyuan Pills. Li Jingxuan shook his head in frustration: "It's really a big loss!"
"I don't think you have anything to lose...... You've even earned it. The faint voice of Ming Lingzi suddenly sounded in Li Jingxuan's mind.
"Ah, what do you say......" Ming Lingzi, who had never spoken much, would suddenly greet him, Li Jingxuan couldn't help but be surprised: "Is there anything seriously underestimated here?"
"Yes...... It's the old leather book. I felt a faint hint of holy power in it. Ming Lingzi said slowly, and as he spoke, he clearly fell into a memory: "Since the Holy Road was cut off 100,000 years ago, and the saints flew out of the sky, the inheritance of the saints has gradually been on the verge of being cut off. Nowadays, there are only three lines of Taoism, martial arts, and literature, and the others have long been lost in the long river of history. This is true of all the saints, and the same is true of the holy texts that possess the power of the saints. Although I am sure that there are books written by the hands of the saints themselves, no one knows in whose hands these holy books are. Except for now, boy, you're really lucky. ”
"Are you saying that this book is a book written by all saints?" Li Jingxuan's eyes widened when he heard this, he gently rubbed the cover of this book, feeling the special texture coming from it, but there was some expectation in his heart.
"It's not...... The holy power in this book is too weak, it is unlikely that it was written by the saints themselves, and it should be a text copied by the disciples of the three generations of saints. 'Under all the saints, within three generations, they are all blessed by the Holy Force. I think this must have been something that these disciples had carefully copied. Ming Lingzi said: "However, don't underestimate this classic...... This is a book of holy power. Although the three generations of disciples are the least powerful among the direct line of the saints, each of the three generations of disciples has the strength above the immortal realm, and their strength is not what we can imagine, and the classics they recorded by themselves are also very useful things. I think you should study it well if you have time. ”
"Huh, aren't we cultivating, why do we still have to study the scriptures of the saints?" Li Jingxuan was very surprised by this.
"Dao? What do you think is Dao? Dao is a distant and unimaginable existence, the source of all things, the mother of all things, and the rule of all things. Cultivating and seeking the Tao is not just a matter of cheering up and nourishing the yuan. You have to be open-minded, to gain more knowledge, to contain everything and to find your direct path. Ming Lingzi shouted loudly in Li Jingxuan's sea of knowledge.
"Ah...... I understand!" Li Jingxuan nodded hurriedly at Ming Lingzi's shout, and quickly opened the leather book in his hand.
The book looks very thick, but there is not much content in it. Li Jingxuan spent half an hour reading it from beginning to end, except for the preface describing the origin of the classics, the text in it was only more than 60,000 words.
After advancing to the Qi Channeling Realm, Li Jingxuan's brain seemed to have been developed to a certain extent. Although he didn't become extremely smart all of a sudden, his memory, discernment, and thinking speed were indeed much stronger than before the breakthrough.
He memorized the content of more than 60,000 words after reading it once, and after a little thought, he understood what kind of existence this book really existed.
This is a method that introduces illusion, and its main inheritance comes from the Illusion Saint Huan Wuyan.
The person who copied this book was Huan Qu, the eldest grandson of the Phantom Saint Huan Wuyan, who was a genius and an open-minded person.
At that time, all the saints existed, and in order to consolidate their common interests, the children of all the saints had the custom of marriage, and Huanqu's wife was Kong Feng, the granddaughter of the Wensheng Kong Ru. Kong Feng has a son for Huanqu and has been quite talented since he was a child. For the sake of his son's growth, Huanqu Boran classics tried to combine the illusion and the Tao, with the Tao as the foundation, the core of the illusion, the language as the means, and the fantasy of humanity to make up for the lack of the way of heaven.
This is a rather interesting idea, and it is also regarded by the Phantom Saint and the Bun Saint as one of the paths that are very likely to manifest in the future to the world.
"Phantom Heaven Record", this is the name of this leather book. The whole book is written in ancient sacred texts, and is divided into two volumes, both of which have 64,800 characters and a total of one yuan. The book in Li Jingxuan's hand is the first volume, which mainly briefly describes the similarities and differences between the Illusion Dao and the Wendao, as well as the key points and foundations of the integration of the two. Because this classic was prepared by Huan Qu for his son, the things in it are quite simple, especially in the previous article, which starts directly from the basics. Li Jingxuan only watched it once, and he generally understood the cultivation methods.
Different from the current mainstream practice inheritance, "Phantom Tianlu" is the ancient holy way of illusion and the way of literature, the key to its practice is not the body but the spirit, although it also needs to absorb the vitality, but only absorb the vitality but do not go to the dantian, only the purple mansion, and continue to nourish the soul in the purple mansion, and the soul gives orders, regulates the vitality, and then fantasizes about various utensils, life and even the environment, heaven and earth, and rules.
“...... This Phantom Record really solved my urgent need. I was thinking about how to quickly restore my soul that had been damaged by planting Qi Seeds, and it gave me a method of recuperating my Vitality Soul - the value of this Qiankun Yuan Soul Determination alone was far higher than the Vitality Stones, pills, and magic weapons that I had obtained before. Li Jingxuan thought happily.
He wrote it down completely. Just writing it down is not the same as understanding it. In fact, what he could really comprehend was only the two hundred words of the first and second chapters of "Phantom Heaven Record".
From here, Li Jingxuan realized the Qiankun Yuan Spiritual Technique and the Calm Qi Ming Divine Method, and led the way to use the Yuan temperature in the body to nourish and strengthen his soul, and the latter was a method to quickly absorb the Yuan Qi, and then expand the Purple Mansion and enhance the soul's ability to control the Yuan Qi.
These are all auxiliary exercises, which are very helpful to Li Jingxuan's future growth.
In order to be able to get started as soon as possible, Li Jingxuan immediately opened his eyes after circulating in his body for nine weeks according to the running lines of the two sets of exercises.
At this moment, he had completely memorized the practice routes of the Qiankun Yuan Spiritual Technique and the Tranquility Qi Ming Divine Method, and opened up the Purple Mansion according to the needs of these two sets of exercises, which can be regarded as a preliminary completion of the introductory cultivation of "Illusory Heaven Record".
"I don't know how much time it took to practice. However, it seemed to be silent outside, and the yin qi had improved a lot compared to some time ago, and it was already night. After completing the preliminary cultivation of "Phantom Heaven Record", Li Jingxuan's six senses were much more sensitive, and he really felt the agility of the entire heaven and earth. At that moment, he took a deep breath: "Since it is already night, now is the time to start killing the Ancestral Spirit Palace. Hopefully, there will be a greater harvest today. ”
Li Jingxuan thought so, and stepped out, and after leaving the cave, his figure quickly disappeared into the vast night.
