Chapter 32: Desolation
The Five Elements Cave is in the central area of the Five Elements Valley, and it is a circular cave. There are dozens of futons on the ground in the cave of the pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info, which are for cultivators. But now, there are only a dozen people sitting on the futon and cultivating.
The aura of the five elements in the Five Elements Cave is abundant and balanced, so thick that it has turned into a white mist that fills the cave.
It has been a month since Li Haoran failed to break through the Tongxuan realm, and since then, Li Haoran has listened to his master's instructions, and in order to practice the Five Elements Dao Technique in the future, he came into contact with the Five Elements Spiritual Qi as soon as possible to come into contact with the Five Elements Cave to cultivate.
In the past two months, Li Haoran's cultivation has reached the point of forgetting to sleep and eat, and he is unwilling!
Despite this, the difficulty of refining the auxiliary technique was still far beyond his imagination. In the past month, he has only refined eight, which is much slower than refining the main and secondary skills.
You must know that there are ninety-two auxiliary techniques of the Canglan Gate Quenching Method! At the current rate, it will take him almost a year to complete all of them. This made Li Haoran a little anxious.
These dozen people in the Five Elements Cave are already the last people in the Five Elements Valley, and the rest of the people have either broken through the realm and joined the peak masters, valley masters, and elders.
The rest of these people have also completed the requirements of the quenching realm, and have completed the refining of the main and secondary skills, and they just want to see if they can go further or get some spirit stones in the Yanwu Hall, after all, there are only so many people, and everyone can get spirit stones every month.
The spiritual mist in the Five Elements Cave drifted away, enveloping more than a dozen people sitting on the futon and cultivating in it, making everyone seem to be in a separate space, and no one could see anyone.
Everyone was cultivating quietly, and suddenly a loud roar of "Ah......" sounded from the cave.
There was endless sadness in the roar
And the heart is sad, and it makes people tremble.
Li Haoran opened his eyes when he heard the sound, and looked towards the place where the sound came from, but saw a white mist surging, and he couldn't see the scene in the distance clearly. However, the voice of someone talking came, and I couldn't really hear it. It seems that the others were also drawn to the sound.
Li Haoran got up and walked over, wanting to find out.
"How so?"
"What are we going to do......?
"Are we all doing useless?"
The sound of discussion came to Li Haoran's ears, which made him even more puzzled what was going on.
"What's going on. Li Haoran walked to the crowd and asked.
"Ah, it's Senior Brother Li here. Everyone turned their heads and saw Li Haoran saluting and greeting.
Li Haoran also returned the salute one by one.
"Senior Brother Li, look. Everyone stepped out of the way and let Li Haoran see the situation behind them.
I saw an unkempt man sitting on a futon, his eyes staring blankly at his hands, his lips trembling slightly, as if he was saying something.
Li Haoran took a closer look and recognized that this was Chenqing, who had been cultivating in the Five Elements Valley and had always been ranked first.
This surprised Li Haoran, he still remembered the first time Kendo was in the dust more than a year ago, when he was full of spirits and full of confidence in his gestures, which made Li Haoran unable to associate him with the appearance of the person in front of him no matter what.
Li Haoran was about to ask what was going on, when he saw Chenqing suddenly raise his head, his eyes were blank, and his face was desolate: "It's over, it's over, everything is over." What have I been doing all along? What is the meaning of my efforts, my persistence? It's all empty, it's empty! Any effort, persistence is just a joke! Ah......"
Another sad shout sounded, and two lines of tears flowed out of Chenqing's eyes, moving the people around him and grieving in their hearts.
It turned out that although this dust green was not a special physique, it was also talented, and since the beginning of his cultivation in the Five Elements Valley, he had made rapid progress, and he even suppressed Sun Gu, who had the Tianxuan True Body, and ranked first. From then on, Dusty Qing had made up his mind to quench his body and refine all the tricks to perfection, leaving his name at the top of the Mortal Monument forever.
In this way, after Chen Qing strengthened his beliefs, he has been cultivating hard and has never slackened. When the people who were behind him in the Five Elements Valley broke through to the Tongxuan realm one after another, worshiped the Canglan Gate and became his senior brother, flying in the sky one by one, and cultivating the Mystic Dao Technique, he also insisted on his belief and continued to refine the Trick.
Although his refining became slower and slower, his constant cultivation always had a trace of aura infused into the acupuncture points, allowing him to feel that he was making progress. But a month ago, no matter how much he cultivated, he couldn't store the aura in the acupuncture point to be refined.
Originally, he was still thinking about taking his time and finding a way to solve it, as long as he could refine all the tricks to perfection and leave his name at the top of the Alien Monument forever, then all the effort spent would be worth it. But the next piece of news gave him a slap in the face - Stargazing Peak Lin Xi began to retreat and broke through the Ming Dao realm!
If you want to say that Lin Xi broke through and broke through, what does it have to do with Chenqing, a person who has not yet entered the quenching realm of Canglan Gate? It is also true at other times, but unfortunately, if Lin Xi successfully breaks through to the Ming Dao realm, then he is the two hundredth person who has entered the Ming Dao realm among the current second-generation disciples of Canglan Gate.
At present, in order to ensure that their inheritance is rigorous and orderly, each famous sect of the cultivation has various conditions when opening the inheritance of a new generation of disciples, and the condition of the Canglan Sect is that when the number of disciples in the last generation of the sect reaches two hundred, the next generation of disciples will be opened. And there is also an unwritten rule in the monastic realm that only in the realm of enlightenment is the qualification to accept disciples.
Because of the teacher, he teaches and teaches the profession to solve doubts. If you don't even know the Tao, what qualifications do you have?
That is to say, after Lin Xi enters the Ming Dao realm, the disciples who will worship the Canglan Gate will be the third generation of disciples of the Canglan Gate now, that is, Li Haoran and their nephews.
Therefore, if Chen Qing does not break through to the Tongxuan realm and worship the Canglan Gate, when Lin Xi breaks through to the Ming Dao realm, then he can only worship under the second generation of Ming Dao realm disciples and become a third-generation disciple when he enters the Canglan Gate in the future. The junior brother who used to cultivate together in the Five Elements Valley has also become his junior uncle. How can this make Chenqing, who has always been arrogant, acceptable.
And in the past month, his cultivation has not made any progress at all, which made his pride, faith, and persistence all his time collapse all at once, all his efforts were in vain, and all his persistence was a joke. This has to be distraught and grief-stricken.
Li Haoran heard the reason from the people around him, and he was very frightened at the same time, is it really so difficult to refine all the tricks? What step can he take? Will he become like this in the end? Li Haoran had no answer in his heart, but he had no way out, so he had to strengthen his belief and walk back to his cultivation place to continue meditating and cultivating.
Night.
Li Haoran didn't sleep, he sat on the bed and meditated and cultivated, but he couldn't settle down peacefully, and his mind kept flashing the sad scene of being in the Five Elements Cave during the day.
"Hoo ......"
Li Haoran stood up a little irritably, walked to the window and looked, but it was a thick night, it was dark, and there was no moonlight.
Li Haoran's heart was suddenly in a trance, as if he had returned to a few years ago when he was chased and killed everywhere, and he always felt that the night was dark.
Thinking about the past like a tide, the family is ruined, and the people are displaced, no matter how long it has passed, these past events make people sad and tearful when they are recalled.
Thinking like this, a figure flashed in his mind, his relatives, the people who escaped with their lives, the robbers on Baiyun Mountain, and Master Bai Yunzi, Su Chi and Su Tianqing, the current master and sister of Canglan Gate, and so on.
Thinking about it, he couldn't help but memorize the cultivation method and the Baiyun Sutra Heavenly Decision that Bai Yunzi had taught him. Because since he cultivated in Canglan Gate, he has been using the Canglan Gate Body Quenching Method taught by his senior sister, so he has not studied the method taught by Bai Yunzi. As for the White Cloud Scripture Heavenly Decision, Li Haoran also slowly understood that it was an extremely powerful law decision, but it was too profound for him now, after all, the law decision could only be practiced after waiting for the Ming Dao realm.
Now because the matter of refining the trick has been haunting Li Haoran's heart, he can't help but think about the body quenching method taught by Bai Yunzi carefully sentence by sentence, and when he understands this method thoroughly in his mind, the sky is already white, but Li Haoran's heart is not calm.
Because he found that the body quenching method taught by Bai Yunzi and the body quenching method taught by his senior sister not only had some differences in cultivation methods, but also some of the order of refining and refining the tricks, and even the tricks to be refined.
For example, the body quenching method of Canglan Gate is to refine the dantian human aperture, and then refine the main aperture of the right leg, and then the left leg, so that the ten main apertures except the heavenly aperture are refined in turn, and then the secondary aperture is refined. However, what Bai Yunzi taught was the trick of the chest that refined and refined the dantian human trick, and it was not the main trick that Canglan Gate said, but a secondary trick.
But the difference in the order of refining only made Li Haoran a little surprised, but then he found that the two cultivation methods were actually a little different in terms of refining and refining points! The total number of points refined by the Canglan Gate's body quenching method was three hundred and ninety-three, while the number of points of refining the method taught by Bai Yunzi was three hundred and eighty-one, and this was not the point! The point was that although the number of points of refining of the method taught by Bai Yunzi was less than that of the Canglan Gate, more than a dozen of them were the methods of the Canglan Gate, and there was no record of where they were and how they were to be refined. This had to shock Li Haoran!
Could it be that the quenching method of Canglan Gate is incomplete? Or is the trick of refining each quenching method different? Li Haoran was thinking about it when he heard the voice of his senior sister calling him to eat outside the door, and Li Haoran looked out the window, and it turned out that it was already dawn.
Only Li Haoran and Lu Xiyu had dinner, and Li Haoran was still thinking about the method taught by Bai Yunzi and seemed a little absent-minded.
Lu Xiyu thought that Li Haoran was worried about the consummation of the body, and comforted: "Senior brother don't worry, there is always a way, and you work so hard, what if you can refine all the tricks at once?"
Li Haoran couldn't help but smile slightly when he heard Lu Xiyu's words, thinking that it was really so simple, and Chenqing wouldn't be so desolate, but he could ask his senior sister about the body quenching method.
"Senior sister, is the body quenching method the same in each sect?
Lu Xiyu didn't ask Li Haoran why he suddenly asked this question, put down the dishes and chopsticks and thought about it and said: "There should be a difference, it is said that since the appearance of cultivators in our human Yuan Realm, we have slowly discovered that there are more and more tricks that can be used for cultivation, and various methods of quenching the body are also circulating in the cultivation world." Later, the patriarchs of various sects used to create their own unique body quenching methods based on these known knots and then with reference to many cultivation methods. Now, although the body quenching methods of each sect are different, the results and difficulty should be about the same, after all, after so many years, each sect will always strive for perfection to revise. However, there are also legends that there is a sect in our human metaverse called & amp; lt; Skywalker & amp; gt; The body quenching method can rank first in the human metaverse. But this is just a legend, and this method has long been lost, and I have not heard of anyone practicing it. ”
"It turns out that each body quenching method has different points to be refined. Li Haoran suddenly felt in his heart, and couldn't help but ask again: "Then what if you cultivate one body quenching method, and then cultivate another body quenching method? Anyway, it should be possible to refine the tricks and strengthen the body, right?"
"I don't know this very well, but since they are two different body quenching methods, the cultivation methods must be different, and the meridian paths of the aura running in the body are also different. If the two methods are cultivated at the same time, it is inevitable that the aura will interfere and be uncontrolled, which may damage the meridians. Lu Xiyu didn't know much about this issue, so he could only make a rough judgment based on his own experience.
"Oh. After listening to Lu Xiyu's answer, Li Haoran couldn't help but feel a little disappointed in his heart, and it seemed that he couldn't find another way.
After dinner, he went to the Five Elements Valley alone, and walked into the Five Elements Cave with a familiar car, but Li Haoran found that there was no one in the cave.
"Are you early today?" A trace of doubt flashed in Li Haoran's heart, but he didn't think about it, he found a futon and sat down and began to cultivate.
By noon, when he finished his cultivation and went out to eat, Li Haoran still didn't see anyone else in the Five Elements Cave, and on the way to the canteen, he happened to meet Senior Brother Shang Jingran, so he asked the reason.
"Hmm, don't you know? They have all broken through to the Tongxuan realm, and they have been taken away by the seniors in the sect this morning. ”
"Is it the same for Chenqing?" asked Li Haoran hesitantly.
"It's also broken through, and now you're the only one left in this Five Elements Valley who is cultivating your body. ”
"Oh. Li Haoran was a little surprised, and felt that this was indeed the case.
"Is there no hope?" Li Haoran thought about returning to the Five Elements Cave to continue his penance alone.
