On the way to cultivating immortals, in addition to majoring in exercises and techniques, there are many auxiliary miscellaneous studies to learn.

Only innate ritual artifacts need to be recognized, and a set of rituals need to be performed to strengthen the mental connection with the ritual weapon.

In a certain sense, once an artifact is given the name of a "magic weapon", it has a "temperament" and "life", and it cannot be regarded as a dead object such as an ordinary sword.

Monks need to find out the characteristics of the ritual weapon after recognizing the master, so that they can resonate with the ritual weapon and cooperate tacitly to achieve the effect of sending and receiving from the heart.

It takes time to merge between humans and artifacts, and as the monk's mana increases, so does his ability to control the artifact.

Some ritual instruments can even produce a simple sense of autonomy due to the special materials used.

Of course, what an immortal cultivator cultivates is not an object, but himself, and the most important point is to discover and make good use of some special functions of the body, such as divine sense, eyesight, hearing, and so on.

Divine consciousness is like a person's sixth sense, which is actively released to achieve the effect of observing the surrounding situation.

The strength of a monk's divine consciousness is directly proportional to the level of his or her level and the strength of his mana, and as the level of the monk increases, his divine consciousness can completely replace his eyes and ears, and he can observe things more carefully from a distance.

Increasing hearing and eyesight and using blinding techniques are a little trick to using mana, and they are not difficult in themselves.

Li Zhen taught him for two hours in Yanyun Cave Mansion, and Yanyun understood it at a glance, and put it into practice on the spot, which benefited him a lot.

Two hours later, Li Zhen had nothing to say, because Yan Yun had just started the five techniques of mountain, medicine, life, physiognomy, and divination, and the other four techniques had no contact at all.

Li Zhen suggested that Yan Yun take the "mountain" as the foundation, and also practice medicine and divination.

Needless to say, the technique of "mountain" is not to be repeated.

One of the techniques of "medicine" includes medicine, the five elements, yin and yang, etc., which contains profound dialectical methods, in addition to healing injuries and diseases, and can even refine elixirs that increase mana or break through bottlenecks, which is helpful for cultivation.

One of the techniques of "divination" is very simple to operate, according to the hexagram, change the hexagram, time and other divination to ask the good luck and evil, and anticipate the enemy's opportunity. But the most powerful part of "Bu" is not here, but to perceive the way of heaven, appreciate the virtues of the earth, and realize itself. When it reaches a certain level, it usually ceases to divination, and through the "seventh sense" generated, such as dreams, the situations presented in the dream are used to provide guidance for real behavior, and even reach the point of breaking through space and time, and even penetrating the world!

Of course, Li Zhen is still young, and she does not have a deep understanding of heaven and earth, so she can't provide any good guidance for Yan Yun in the art of "divination".

She suggested that Yan Yun that if she wanted to know more about "Bu", she could take the time to consult Yu Zhenzi.

Regarding the realm of immortal cultivators, Li Zhen only knows three levels, namely Condensing Qi, Lingtai, and Juyuan, and she doesn't know what else is after that, Shizun Yu Zhenzi is a Lingtai realm monk.

"Senior brother, your comprehension is extremely high, no wonder you can be favored by your master, and I hope to make persistent efforts to strive to be the last among my disciples!" After Li Zhen finished smiling, her face turned red again, revealing a little worried, "It's just that the magic weapon of the junior brother, using the soul of a person as a weapon, is too hurtful to the heavens and the peace, and it is inevitable to be cruel and paranoid, it may not be beneficial to you, you can use it as little as possible, it's best not to use it...... If the master knows, I'm afraid I won't like it......"

Yan Yun was stunned for a moment, and said in surprise: "Senior sister said that the master favors me?" ”

"Well, several of our senior brothers think so......" Li Zhen saw that Yan Yun's expression was very unnatural, and said with a smile, "Senior brother, don't worry, we don't have a blind eye for you, but we are quite envious." ”

"It's not...... Why does Senior Sister think that Master Zun favors me? ”

"Do you need to talk about that? When you were healed, you lived in the courtyard of the master, and before parting, I gave you three talismans, and we have never had this treatment......

"Is that talisman valuable?"

"One piece costs ten spirit stones, do you say it's expensive?"

"What is a spirit stone?"

"It's a specific gem that contains aura and can be traded, and it's used for money in the world, and it can also assist in spiritual practice."

"If this is the case, the junior brother is quite ashamed, he has no credit for the master, but he has gained such benefits."

"Don't say that, Master must have his reasons for doing this."

"Senior sister, what is that nine-character mantra that can emit golden light?"

"It's called the mantra, junior brother has seen it?" Li Zhen's eyes widened, and he said in surprise, "That one is rare, even in Lianyun Village, it is rarely sold, a hundred spirit stones!" ”

"So expensive?" Although Yan Yun didn't know what this spirit stone was, the three talismans of "power", "speed" and "light body" that could bring him great help only needed ten spirit stones, and one of these proverb talismans was equivalent to ten times the value of these three, which was extremely precious.

"Of course it's expensive, this talisman has an autonomous consciousness, and when the holder is in danger, it can be activated by itself, can it not be expensive?"

When Li Zhen said this talisman, her face was full of excitement.

Yan Yun understood that when he first met the eunuch holding the Phantom Soul Banner that day, the dazzling long strip of runes that appeared from the brocade bag was undoubtedly the proverb talisman.

In this way, Yu Zhenzi is not only partial to Yan Yun, but doting!

Yan Yun really didn't dare to let Li Zhen and the others know about this matter, otherwise, these senior brothers would inevitably have an opinion on Yu Zhenzi.

"What kind of place is Lianyunzhai?" Yan Yun diverted the topic.

"A good place is ...... Alas......" Li Zhen wanted to speak and stopped, "Senior brother should go and ask for good signs, he and Master have been there more often, and they know each other better than me." ”

"Okay."

Li Zhen taught Yan Yun for two hours this time, and before leaving, she took out a handful of yarrow for divination from a bag she carried with her and gave it to him.

This bag is hanging on Lizhen's belt, it may be a space-type magic weapon, and it has the same storage function as the Wraith Flag, although Yan Yun was a little curious about this bag, he didn't ask much.

As soon as Li Zhen left, Yan Yun put down the evil gun in his hand and turned around and walked out of the cave.

Although the punishment spear has already recognized its master, Yanyun's mana is low, and he can't make it change into size, let alone incorporate it into the dantian.

He stood on the big stone outside the cave and began to practice the power of the ears and eyes repeatedly according to the method taught by Li Zhen, and when the ears were opened, he could hear the sound of stupid insects biting leaves, and when his eyes were released, he could clearly observe the ants five feet away.

The most amazing thing is the divine sense, which can perceive the general appearance of about ten zhang around him with his eyes closed, but due to the shortage of mana and relatively unfamiliar, he lacks correct judgment on the specific composition of the scene.

The observation of spiritual and non-spiritual places is particularly special for the divine consciousness, such as one's own cave, where there seem to be sporadic golden lights swimming in the air, flashing and flashing, while non-spiritual places do not have this phenomenon.

Just as Yan Yun was practicing, as far as his eyes could see, he saw a bush of tea growing on the spiritual ground, and he was immediately overjoyed and ran quickly.

Probably due to living habits, several of Xiao Zhongnan's senior brothers, including Shizun Yu Zhenzi, don't seem to have the habit of drinking tea, or it may be that they have already opened the valley and have no such needs.

This tea tree is quite old, although the tree is short, but it grows very thick, and the new green glows in the spring, making the tea buds as green and smooth as green glass.

At that time, the tea of General Wuwei's Mansion was purchased from Nanban through merchants, and Yan Yun also liked to drink tea very much, so he also asked about the way to make tea.

He lifted the corner of his robe and turned into a tea picker.

In the end, he simply took off his robe, looked for the tea trees that grew scattered around his cave, collected a large pile, kneaded them briefly, and put them on the stone bed of the cave to dry.

He thought that the next time a few senior brothers came to visit, they would be able to make tea and entertain them, and they would not sit dry.

But when he looked around his cave, it was too clean, and he couldn't even find a pot for boiling tea.

Just as he wanted to go to a few senior brothers to look for it, he suddenly remembered that he seemed to have forgotten something, thought about it, communicated with the ghost spirit flag with his heart, and saw a scene in the space.

At this time, the newborn ghost king in the soul flag had already emerged from the mist, although his appearance was terrifying and ugly, he seemed to be smiling, and he looked happy.

It felt Yan Yun's mind, and suddenly showed a look of surprise, a trace of red light flashed from its red eyes, and it smashed its big mouth, like a certain sweetness aftertaste.

Out of the mist stretched out one of its sharp claws, like an eagle's claw, but thicker, with harder scales, and a dead soul pinching the end of its fingernails.

It is the soul of Li Ao!

Monks are much larger and look much more solid than ordinary souls.

At this moment, Li Ao's soul changed his previous arrogance, like a little sheep, showing flattery to the ghost king.

Li Ao's soul also discovered Yan Yun's mind and looked in his direction, his eyes were calm and expressionless, obviously he had been domesticated by the Ghost King.

The appearance that Li Ao showed made Yan Yun vigilant.

Could it be that the Ghost King has gained great benefits by domesticating Li Ao's soul? Otherwise, it is difficult to explain the eagerness shown by the Ghost King when Yan Yun and Ji Zhao were fighting.

No wonder the Ghost King cares so much about auspicious signs!

The Ghost King and Yan Yun are connected through the medium of the Soul Flag, and what Yan Yun thinks in his heart can also be perceived by the Ghost King.

It faced the "window" of the soul flag and grinned at Yan Yun, probably referring to Yan Yun's guess.

The way it looked made Yan Yun very displeased, and he had to wonder if the ghost king he had inadvertently created and the souls of the ghosts he had snatched should be regarded as his own, or should he be making a wedding dress for the "others" of the ghost king?

The Ghost King blinked his red eyes twice, indicating that he was innocent.

It is indeed innocent, and Yan Yun's suspicions and worries are ultimately due to his own poor ability and lack of understanding of the Soul Banner.

Since Yan Yun figured out the reason for the ghost king's movement in the soul flag, he didn't have the intention of continuing to communicate with the ghost king, and took out the fist-sized parcel-like object stored in Li Ao's soul flag space with his mind.

At the moment when Yan Yun was about to sever the connection with the soul flag, he suddenly saw another dead soul in the other raised claw of the Ghost King.

"You dare!" Yan Yun was furious, and blood was about to spurt out from his pupils!

This is Zoe's ghost, who is lying obediently in the palm of the Devil's Claw, motionless.

The Ghost King grinned silently again, and stroked Zoe's Soul's illusory hair with his other claw before letting go, letting her wander with the other ghosts.

The ghost king is demonstrating!
