Two hundred and eighty-one chapters, seven years
At Zeng Bufan's strong invitation, Qingduan Chen and the others moved in with him, but they did not live in his hut, but on the other side of the small lake.
Jing'er took out three exquisite wooden houses out of thin air from her storage utensils and placed them on the grass by the small lake one after another, and Qingduan Chen and the three of them had their own residence.
They knew they might stay on the island for a long time, but what they didn't expect was that it would be seven years.
In addition to Ah Kun's refusal to give up and make it impossible for them to leave, Qingshi and the others are also very willing to stay on the island for a little longer, because although Zeng Bufan does not accept apprentices, he is very willing to guide them. Zeng Bufan is also very happy to be able to have a inheritance of his martial arts achievements.
Although Zeng Bufan's current combat power is extremely low, his knowledge and realm are extremely high, and now in the Tianlong Continent and even all the sea areas they have walked in, no one can compare with him at all.
Although he himself was no longer able to use unfathomable martial arts, this did not prevent him from passing on these secret techniques of martial arts, especially the experience and results of his enlightenment, to the Qingduan Chen San.
Zeng Bufan passed on to Qingshi and Chen Tianye a self-created technique - Spirit Alchemy. This is a kind of high-level technique that refines five kinds of heavenly and earthly treasures containing the five elements attribute aura at the same time, and turns the aura of the treasure into its own true qi, so as to quickly improve the level of true qi.
Qingshi and Chen Tianye have some Five Elements Chaos Fruit, as well as Holy Fire Fruit, Holy Water Marrow, Earth Spirit Crystal, Golden Spirit Crystal and Divine Wood Fruit, these are all Five Elements Spirit Objects, all of which can be used for Spirit Alchemy, but there are too few such treasures.
But what they didn't expect was that such treasures were as numerous and worthless as pebbles on the river beach in Zeng Bufan's place. The reason for this is that such treasures are very productive in the Majestic Sea, especially on this Fenghuang Island, where the five elements can grow.
For example, the Holy Fire Fruit and the Divine Wood Fruit, Fenghuangdao harvests one season every ten years, and nearly 100 pieces can be harvested every season. Five hundred years ago, these fruits were in short supply and could be sold at sky-high prices.
And in the past five hundred years, there is no one on Fenghuang Island who can withstand the spiritual power of these fruits, ordinary wild fruits can quench their thirst and satisfy hunger when eaten, and these spiritual fruits will make people's blood explode and die, which is simply highly poisonous. If you want to exchange it for money or other items, there is no way to take them out of Fenghuangdao. Therefore, these spirit fruits turned out to be useless now.
Zeng Bufan didn't want to be so useless, so he used the spirit stone to exchange these fruits from the islanders for storage, and a hundred lower-grade spirit stones could be exchanged for a spirit fruit, and most of the other five elements spirit objects such as earth spirit crystals and gold spirit crystals were also in the same situation.
Qingshi used the Spirit Alchemy Technique to improve his true qi level, and in just three years, he was promoted from the second stage of the Jindan Realm to the ninth stage of consummation.
It also took Chen Tianye three years to raise his True Qi level from the fourth stage of the Jindan Realm to the ninth stage of perfection.
Although Duan Wutian was unable to practice the Soul Addiction True Technique, it was also very beneficial to simply take these spiritual objects, and with the effect of the Water Source Gong, his True Qi level was raised from the original Jindan Realm Sixth Rank to the Ninth Rank, and it only took seven years.
The speed at which the level of the three Qingduan Chen people increased was more than ten times higher than the normal level of the current Heavenly Dragon Continent, and the Five Elements Spirit Objects they used up only consumed thirty percent of Zeng Bufan's storage.
After reaching the consummation of the ninth stage of the Jindan Realm, if you want to break through to the Immortal Pill Realm, you need understanding and opportunities, and forcibly piling them up will only cause a waste of spiritual things. Therefore, after the Qingduan Chen and the others reached the Jindan Ninth Stage, they adopted a normal cultivation method, mainly using spirit stones, and the demand for the five elements spiritual objects was naturally greatly reduced.
After seven years of penance under Zeng Bufan's guidance, the martial arts cultivation of the three Qingduan Chen has made a huge leap.
With the increase of the level of true qi, Duan Wutian's divine power increased more and more geometrically. Zeng Bufan gave him a martial art, the 'mountain reclamation' left by the divine power king Ulun Gutang of the year. After Duan Wutian practiced successfully, under Zeng Bufan's guidance, he integrated the family heirloom sun gun martial arts into it, and then refined the nineteen-style 'mountain reclamation' into the thirteen-style 'mountain and sea breaking' according to the characteristics of the weapon Heaven Breaking Axe and Earth Shield. The highlight of this martial art is power, which destroys everything with absolute power and is invincible.
Zeng Bufan achieved the Five Elements True Qi more than a thousand years ago, and his research and application of the Five Elements True Qi was naturally far stronger than Qingshi and Chen Tianye, so in terms of the use of True Qi, Qingshi and Chen Tianye benefited a lot.
Chen Tianye's true qi level and application method increased quickly, and the improvement of kendo was even faster. For Chen Tianye, meeting Zeng Bufan can be regarded as a great opportunity. Zeng Bufan was also from the Immortal Sword Sect, so Qingshi and Chen Tianye's sword intent was largely in the same vein as Zeng Bufan.
Zeng Bufan is a great master of swordsmanship, and he taught Chen Tianye a set of 'Five Clouds Flow Wind Sword', which is a set of swordsmanship driven by the true qi of the five elements, and the level is naturally a heaven-level supernatural skill.
Not only that, Zeng Bufan also gave Chen Tianye the swordsmanship cheats left by the sword god Crane into the clouds, and also gave him the sword that Crane entered the clouds - the heaven-level divine soldier 'Liuyun'. Chen Tianye has obtained the kendo inheritance of Zeng Bufan and Crane Ruyun, and naturally his kendo cultivation is a thousand miles in a day.
Chen Tianye practiced swordsmanship, and finally after six years, he realized the third layer of the Xuanjian technique, and created his own swordsmanship, the Seven Styles of Resisting the Wind and Flowing Clouds. In terms of power, the Seven Styles of the Wind and Clouds at this stage are not as good as the Five Clouds and Flowing Wind Swordsmanship, but the Seven Styles of the Wind and Clouds have absorbed the essence of the Five Clouds and Flowing Wind Swordsmanship, and there is still a lot of room for improvement. With the continuous improvement of Chen Tianye's overall cultivation, it is inevitable that he will surpass the sages.
But Chen Tianye's biggest gain is not swordsmanship, but archery!
Zeng Bufan passed on a secret art of archery called "Shocking Wind" to the three of Qingduan Chen, which was left by Yuan Hao, the first arrow god in the original sea. The three of them had good bows and arrows, and they all improved their big bows according to their own habits and preferences, and then each made hundreds of arrows.
The three of them practiced archery at the same time, and as a result, Chen Tianye's talent in archery was stimulated by Zeng Bufan, and he quickly left Qingshi and Duan Wutian behind. In the past few years, Qingshi and Duan Wutian's archery skills have naturally been quite clever, but Chen Tianye's archery skills have faintly had the demeanor of the arrow god back then.
Under Zeng Bufan's guidance, Duan Wutian and Chen Tianye have made great progress, but in fact, the biggest improvement is still Qingshi. Everyone is the ninth stage of the Jindan Realm, but the quality and total amount of Qingshi's true qi far exceed the two of them, and Duan Wutian needless to say, even Chen Tianye, who has already completed the five elements, cannot be compared with him at all.
In terms of swordsmanship, Zeng Bufan did not point out the bluestone for half a sentence. The reason why Zeng Bufan didn't pass on Qingshi's swordsmanship, Qingshi can probably guess it, because he and Zeng Bufan have understood the way of swords. Therefore, there was no need for him to practice other people's swordsmanship, he just needed to follow his own path.
Qingshi received guidance from the Wind Emperor, and his perception of the Way of Wind and the Way of Thunder became clearer and clearer. He also got Jiang Tiankui's inheritance secret book from Zeng Bufan, and he made a qualitative leap in the use of wind and thunder true qi, and this was his biggest gain.
······
On this day, Qingshi was dancing the sword in the wind on the top of the mountain, understanding the wind and practicing the sword, and suddenly, he seemed to have an understanding in his heart, and immediately collected the long sword and stood with the wind.
This mountain peak is the commanding height of the entire island, and for seven years, Bluestone has often come here to feel the way of the wind. Sometimes it's daylight, sometimes it's moonlit night, sometimes it's light clouds, sometimes it's stormy.
On this day, the sea breeze is not very strong, the sun occasionally shines through the clouds, it is warm and soft, and the wind is like water in the high sky, and the clouds are slight.
Bluestone stood for a long time, and suddenly, he flew up with the wind, like a fallen leaf blown from the ground by the wind. However, he does not roll and fly aimlessly in the wind like a fallen leaf, but controls his body steadily, like a kite that has been flown into the sky, and there is always a thread controlling his posture, but this line is invisible, and exists between his thoughts.
At this moment, Qingshi understood the way of the wind, and then mastered a certain method of resisting the wind.
What is the Way of the Wind? Bluestone can't be expressed in words, because 'the Tao is the way, the very way!' The Tao that can be expressed in words is not the Tao in the true sense.
There are only a few things he can express in words, such as:
Wind can also be called wind and clouds, in addition to wind and clouds, it also includes rain, fog, snow, frost, etc., and it can even be said that it is a general term that encompasses all atmospheric phenomena.
The relationship between wind and thunder is peculiar because thunder and lightning are generated from the clouds.
Fengyun contains other forms of water, so it is associated with the five elements.
Wind is mainly due to changes in temperature, so it is closely related to yin and yang.
In short, wind is complex and full of mysteries, and it is by no means just the flow of gases as it is commonly understood.
The bluestone that understands the way of the wind will naturally understand the method of resisting the wind and the art of controlling the wind. However, there is no particular order of enlightenment, but there is a distinction between the imperial law and the control technique. There is no difference between the way of the wind that Qingshi comprehended and the comprehension of the Wind Emperor, but compared with the Wind Emperor's method of resisting the wind and controlling the wind, it is an underground and a heaven.
The current bluestone can fly with the wind without relying on Xuanyuan Armor and the Wings of Wind and Thunder martial arts, just by relying on their own perception of the wind, but that's all, if you want to talk about the effect, it is actually not as good as Xuanyuan Armor and the Wings of Wind and Thunder.
However, after understanding the way of the wind, if you have to use wind-attribute martial arts such as the Three Absolute Wind and the Wings of Wind and Thunder, then you can make the play of these martial arts almost like 'Dao'.
Moreover, after understanding the way of wind, Qingshi's comprehension of the way of thunder, the way of the five elements, and even the way of yin and yang has also been more or less improved.
What's more, after comprehending the avenue of 'wind', he will be able to fully master the art of resisting the wind through learning, accumulation, and comprehension, and in time, it will only be a matter of time before he can control the storm like the Wind Emperor.
Enlightenment is the prerequisite for mastering the Tao, otherwise, no matter how hard you practice, you will not be able to reach the height of the Tao.
The general understanding of the cultivator world of the Heavenly Dragon Continent is: Dao! It is divided into heaven, earth and humanity.
The so-called Heavenly Dao, that is, the nine avenues of gold, wood, water, fire, earth, yin and yang, wind and thunder, it represents all things in the world, as well as the relationship between all things such as growth and annihilation, mutual growth and mutual restraint, and the laws of operation, development and change.
The Tunnel refers to the way of magic developed by the monk and represented by the three major arts, which represents the method and achievement of the cultivator to understand and use nature.
Humanity refers to the methods and techniques created by monks to exercise and develop their own potential, such as the way of the sword, the way of fists and feet, etc., which are usually collectively referred to as martial arts.
Another way of saying it is even simpler and clearer: the Tao is the Tao of Heaven, and all the Dao in the world is part of the Dao of Heaven. Gold, wood, water, fire, earth, yin and yang, wind and thunder are the avenues of heaven, and the three major arts and martial arts are the humanity of heaven.
In Qingshi's view, this division is undoubtedly more correct.
According to the consensus and experience of the Heavenly Dragon Continent monk world, every Shenyuan Realm monk has at least comprehended at least one 'Heavenly Dao' or 'Heavenly Dao', or in other words, in order to reach the Shenyuan Realm, he needs to understand at least one technique or one martial path, or one of the nine Heavenly Dao.
Because only when you fully understand a heavenly way, can you make the 'Tao' you have comprehended coincide with the Heavenly Dao, thereby triggering the resonance between yourself and heaven and earth, and then imprinting the elixir in your body with the traces of 'Dao', such an elixir is called 'Shenyuan', which means the beginning of becoming a god, that is to say, when you reach this step of cultivation, you will have the conditions to become a god. The monk who let his elixir be imprinted with the traces of the Heavenly Dao is the monk of the Shenyuan Realm.
If the 'Dao' of enlightenment is incorrect or incomplete, it cannot conform to the Dao of Heaven and cannot form the 'Divine Yuan'. Therefore, the Divine Yuan Realm is not divided by the level of True Qi, but by the level of the Enlightenment Realm.
It is said that if you want to break through again on the basis of the Divine Yuan Realm and truly become an immortal and become a god, you must at least understand a 'Heavenly Dao'.
Of course, those who have comprehended a 'heavenly humanity' do not necessarily be able to step into the Divine Yuan Realm. And those who have understood a 'heavenly avenue', there have been many people for thousands of years, but none of them have been able to become true gods.
Qingshi has already understood the 'Way of the Sword', and now he has understood the 'Way of the Wind', which indicates that his future achievements will be limitless, and becoming a master of the Shenyuan Realm is almost a certainty, and he also has the conditions to become a god.
The bluestone floats in mid-air, which does not rely on magic weapons and martial arts, but only relies on the interaction between the true qi of the wind attribute and the wind of the outside world, which is the real sense of the 'art of resisting the wind'. He hung in the sea breeze out of thin air, but his body did not move, and while continuing to experience the changes brought about by the 'Way of the Wind', he began to practice pure imperial magic and control techniques.
Suddenly, Qingshi sensed that someone was calling him, and at the same time he had a hint of foreboding in his heart, obviously, his perception became more acute. Qingshi turned his head to look at the direction from which his perception came, thought for a moment, and then launched the Wings of Wind and Thunder and flew in that direction.
The bluestone figure was activated, and its speed was almost twice as fast as before. Such a large improvement in cultivation was simply incredible, however, Qingshi was in no mood to celebrate at this time. Because, as he got closer to his destination, he already knew who was calling him, and he also roughly understood what caused the foreboding.
In the picturesque lakeside courtyard, Zeng Bufan was half-lying on a chaise longue made of wooden rattan, his eyes slightly closed, his breath like a gossamer, and the setting sun sprinkled on his body, but could not add a trace of blood to his pale face. The lone immortal who has been crisscrossing the Heavenly Dragon World for more than a thousand years has finally come to the end of his life.
Qingshi shuttled from the sky like a bird throwing into the forest, and his arms stretched out and landed steadily beside Zeng Bufan.
