Two days later, Qian Mei'er practiced in retreat with Lady Shangyuan, and before the retreat, she took Ling Ning to a small building on the peak, which was full of books.

"This is a classic book brought by grandma from outside the territory, all of them are formation-related, if you think it's interesting, you can take a look."

Ling Ning recalled the mysterious formation she used when she started with the Shangqing Sect people, and readily agreed.

In the next two months, Ling Ning went to read books related to the formation in the morning, studied martial arts in the afternoon, and practiced every day until the true yuan of the whole body was exhausted before meditating and absorbing the aura of heaven and earth.

In the blink of an eye, it was the depths of winter, this day was snowing heavily every day, Ling Ning crossed his knees to exercise, suddenly the true yuan in his body surged, he concentrated and calmed down, after 72 weeks of practice, the aura of the entire mountain peak frantically surged into his body, he hurriedly introduced the aura into the sea of qi, and when he finished his exercise, it was already the morning of the third day, and his cultivation was also promoted to the late stage of Zhudan.

This sudden ascension surprised him very much, thinking that it was because of the rapid consumption every day, coupled with the abundance of spiritual energy on this mountain peak, he absorbed the spiritual energy of heaven and earth every day like "hungry and thirsty", or there was still a part of the true element in the sea of qi that had not been transformed, and many factors combined to achieve this breakthrough. But he also knew that absorbing the aura in this way might have little effect, and he still needed to find another way to break through.

At this time, he suddenly found that the palace master had quietly appeared at some point, and she was floating in the air in the form of a "thumb girl", looking at the goose feathers and snow outside the pavilion in a daze.

"Palace Master, I haven't seen you for a long time, why are you willing to come out by yourself?"

The palace master gave him a blank look, and said angrily: "Do you think this palace is willing to stay in the source space every day?" It's not that you're so poor that I can't stay outside for a long time. ”

Ling Ning smiled bitterly: "Then I'm really sorry, I just have something I want to ask you, can I practice the next level of the Avatar Decision?" ”

The palace master stretched out his snow-white little finger and said, "Not yet, I was also about to tell you that if you want to practice the next level of Divine Transformation, you need to prepare something." ”

"What's that?"

"Demon beast essence blood, well, it doesn't have to be too high, it's okay for a fifth-order demon beast."

"A fifth-order demon beast is equivalent to a cultivator in the Dan stage, there shouldn't be a demon beast of this rank on the Mortal Dust Continent, right...... Besides, the demon beasts of the same rank are several times stronger than the monks, can I handle it? ”

"Don't you have a friend at the auction? It would be nice to let her help you get it. It is rare on the Mortal Dust Continent, but there are many on the Immortal Dust Continent, and she should have a way. ”

Ling Ning thought of the Lingxi who had never been in touch, didn't their Spirit Treasure Pavilion also have a branch in the Immortal Dust Continent, so he could ask her for help.

The palace master suddenly stared at him, which made Ling Ning a little unaccustomed.

"You...... Why are you looking at me like that? Is there anything on my face? ”

The palace master shook his head and said, "I really don't know why I want to punch you, you won't mind, right?" ”

Ling Ning was stunned for a moment, and then said, "It's strange if you don't mind!" ”

"But I really want to, maybe it reminds me of something......"

Ling Ning put on a strange expression that I believe in you, "Do I annoy you so much?" Did we have a holiday before? ”

"It's not annoying, but I always feel like there's some nameless resentment that I can't vent...... Hongu advises you to think about it carefully. ”

Ling Ning looked at her serious eyes, and had no choice but to say, "It's not impossible to let you fight, but I'm curious about what kind of Dao technique you used that day?" Actually sucked the true element of the broken soul dry? Can't even the Heaven Devouring Demon Skill help you? ”

The palace master said disdainfully: "What is the Heaven Devouring Demon Skill, this kind of thing is just a child's trick in front of this palace." Well...... Can this palace tell you what the Dao method was that day, are you ready for me to punch me? ”

"I really can't help you, you have to tap ...... Oops! ”

Before he could finish his sentence, he felt a pain in the right side of his face, and then he flew out and crashed into a large tree covered with snow, and the large chunk of snow on the tree mercilessly fell and buried him in it.

"Hahaha!"

There was a silver bell-like laughter from the palace master.

"Please, I'm not ready! You're too much...... At least say it again......"

Ling Ning crawled out of the snow in embarrassment, and wanted to complain a few words, but when he saw the palace master laughing very happily, like an innocent little girl, he secretly said in his heart: "If you can make her so happy, even if you let her fight a hundred punches, what's the matter?" ”

The palace master laughed heartily for a while, and when he saw that he couldn't get up in a daze, he said, "What? Hurt you? ”

Ling Ning came back to his senses, he got up and patted the snow off his body, "This bit of strength can't hurt me, are you in a better mood?" ”

The palace master let out a sigh, "It's much better, it seems to be a breath of resentment." I knew you were okay, so I tried harder. ”

"Would you like to do it again?"

"That's not necessary, aren't you addicted?"

"How is that possible! I just want to make you happy, and to be honest, it seems like the first time I've seen you smile so much. ”

The palace master returned to his usual laziness, "Really? It may have been locked up for too long, but it would be nice if I could breathe more. ”

"Don't worry, I'll practice hard for this goal! So what was the Tao you used that day? ”

The palace master lightly pinched a sword trick, "This is the 'Divine Ghost Dao'!" ”

Obviously, this was a word that Ling Ning had never heard of, he walked back to the pavilion and sat opposite the palace master, and asked, "What is 'Divine Ghost Dao'?" ”

"The 'Dao of Gods and Ghosts' is the foundation of all Daos, with ghosts as yin and gods as yang, which can also be called 'Yin and Yang Dao'. As the old saying goes, 'one yin and one yang is the Tao', '(yin and yang) are sympathetic to the two qi, and all things are born'. ”

Ling Ning nodded as if he didn't understand, "Then how can this god and ghost Dao be cultivated?" Is it possible to 'incarnate all things' by mastering the way of gods and ghosts? ”

"Theoretically, this is the case, but since the beginning of the world, no one has dared to say the word 'mastery', and now this Taoist technique is almost lost, and it can be said that all the good and evil Taoism in the world are just derivatives of it."

"Why is such a powerful Dao method almost lost? Is this Dao technique difficult to cultivate? ”

"The road to the law, those who are not gifted and outstanding will not be passed on, and those who are not destined will not be passed on. From the beginning of the world to today, there are very few people who are lucky enough to hear these three words, and even fewer who can see them with their own eyes, let alone learn one or two of them. ”

"I wonder if I have the opportunity to practice this method?"

The palace master glanced at him meaningfully, "If you want to cultivate, let's pass the entry level first." If it is really fate, it is not impossible to learn one or two. ”

Ling Ning was overjoyed and hurriedly asked how to get started.

"First, you must first understand that everything in the world is divided into yin and yang, and there is yang in yin and yin in yang. The first thing you have to do is to be proficient in the Five Elements Dao Technique, divide yin and yang, and manipulate freely, so that you can be regarded as entering the door. ”

"I'm already very proficient in the Five Elements Dao Technique."

"Skilled? Hmph, according to the standards of the human world, the Five Elements Escape Method is divided into four levels: 'Gathering, Spirit, Immortal, and God', to what extent can you use it? ”

"I ...... I can only get to the 'gathering' ......"

"How dare you say skilled? You are not required to be 'immortal', at least you must be 'spiritual', and it is all attributes. Whether it is the Five Elements Escape Method or the wind, thunder, rain, snow and ice...... You have to be at the level of the Spirit to be proficient. ”

"This ...... How can this be done? ”

It is important to know that ordinary monks may only be able to master one or two attributes of the Dao in their lifetime, because most monks are limited by their own "spiritual roots", and not all elements can be easily obtained.

"If you can't do it, then give up, this Dao technique is not something that any three-legged cat can practice."

This sentence aroused the arrogance in Ling Ning's heart, how to say that he was also a character who was called a "genius" since he was a child. Moreover, he was born with a "Heavenly Spirit Root" and had a very strong perception of all attributes, but he had always loved swordsmanship and had not practiced the Five Elements Escape Method.

"Don't worry, I can do it!"

"Hmph, don't talk big."

"Walk the talk! Are there any other requirements? ”

"Naturally, there is, and secondly, we must divide yin and yang."

"How to distinguish yin and yang?"

The palace master stretched out his palm, and a flame appeared in his palm, "You can see clearly, this palace only demonstrates once." The so-called separation of yin and yang is to separate the true element yin and yang in the body, just like this fire ......"

The flames swirled rapidly in her palm, and then turned into "Yin and Yang Fish", although they were all fire, but they were divided into "Yin Fire" and "Yang Fire".

"There is yang in yin, and there is yin in yang. Do you understand? ”

Ling Ning nodded as if he didn't understand.

The palace master obviously saw that he didn't understand, and said helplessly: "In the future, you will have to run the 'Transformation God Decision' every day in the big Zhou Tian 72 and the small Zhou Tian 36, and you will split the true yuan in the body into the five attributes of 'gold, wood, water, fire, and earth'." Split runs for a week, and then aggregates run for a week, so that the daily practice must not be broken. ”

Ling Ning nodded as if he understood this time.

The palace master took one last look at the heavy snow outside the pavilion, "Ling Ning, you have to remember that the road is long, I hope you will persevere and persevere, and don't think about ascending to the sky in one step." ”

Looking at the palace master's gradually dimming back, Ling Ning said with a straight face: "I have been taught below!" ”

Next, it took Ling Ning a full five days to disassemble the true element in his body according to the five attributes, and it took another three days to complete a big Zhoutian.

In the middle, he sent another message to Lingxi, hoping that she would help find the blood of the demon beast, and Lingxi readily agreed and agreed to meet in Yicheng in a month later for a detailed discussion.

Although he didn't understand why he wanted to meet and talk in detail, it would be a month later, but he didn't ask in detail.

In a month's time, he devoted himself to cultivation, and finally mastered the method of true element operation. After that, he studied and practiced martial arts during the day, and at night he concentrated on running Zhou Tian, and he faintly felt that his control of Zhenyuan was becoming more and more handy, and it was obvious that the palace master's teachings were effective.

In the blink of an eye, a month has arrived, and the sky is drifting goose feathers and heavy snow, but the whole Yicheng is extremely lively, every household is lit up, and passers-by are shouting "congratulations".

Ling Ning sat alone on the small building and looked at the lively street and the jubilant crowd, only to realize that today was Chinese New Year's Eve.

Although the cultivators have stayed away from the fireworks in the world, the mortals in Yicheng still account for the majority, so they still retain this excitement, and even many monks have joined in, and his heart has warmed up unconsciously.

But when he thought of his family, his heart was cold again, as if the whole world was left with him.

"Hey, you're early."

Ling Ning looked back and saw a beautiful girl looking at her. This girl has a small cherry mouth, bright eyes and bright teeth, and she looks like a heavenly fragrance. She wears a snow-white fox fur jacket with a smooth upper body without a trace of variegation, and a white pleated long skirt on the lower body, the most striking thing is that she is wearing a red cape, which is embellished with snow-white fluff at the corners, like a delicate red plum in the snowy world, which is particularly moving.

Lingxi seemed to be very satisfied with Ling Ning's "dumb" expression, and she smiled and said, "What? Stunned?

Ling Ning hurriedly withdrew his gaze.

Lingxi said again: "If I guessed correctly, Your Excellency should be Ling Ning, an outcast of the Sword Ling Sect. ”

Ling Ning obviously knew that it was not difficult to know his identity with her skills, so she was not the slightest surprised.

"I am Ling Ning, an outcast of the Sword Ling Sect, but Miss is afraid?"

Lingxi grimaced and said, "With such a big force as my Lingbao Pavilion, how can I be afraid of just one...... Hey...... How could I be afraid of you? Speaking of which, I thought you would still wear a cloak and refuse to show your face today, but I didn't expect you to be very honest. ”

"Aren't you trying to hide yourself?"

"This can reflect my intention to cooperate with Ling Gongzi. It seems that I haven't officially introduced myself yet, the little woman Lingxi, who is the deputy pavilion master of the Spirit Treasure Pavilion of the Mortal Dust Continent. ”

"Under the sword...... Shui Yuetian, Ling Ning. ”

"Did you join Shui Yuetian so soon?"

Ling Ning nodded silently, he looked at the crowd of people coming and going on the street, as if he hadn't come out of his thoughts just now.

"How did Ling Gongzi come to Yicheng? Did it take a lot of time? ”

Ling Ning said: "There is a 'golden eagle' in Shuiyuetian, and I came here by golden eagle, about two hours. ”

A big sect like the Water Moon Sect has "post stations" in many important cities, and the disciples can take the low-level demon beast golden eagle to fly around quickly, but they must be a disciple of the Water Moon Heaven, and he has not yet entered before, so he can't ride with Qian Mei'er, so they can only walk back to the Water Moon Heaven together.

Lingxi's sentence was purely a casual question, she looked at Ling Ning and suddenly said, "Hey, you come with me!" ”

"Go...... Where to? Haven't got down to business yet! ”

"What's the hurry! I'll talk about it when I come back! ”

After saying that, Lingxi couldn't help but pull up Ling Ning and go.
