Chapter 245

After a long time, he sighed and returned to his room.

Kneeling cross-legged on the bed, Xu Yang closed his eyes and looked thoughtful.

The people of the Empty Cloud Dao had just left the Empty Cloud Valley, and Xu Yang was a little sad about the departure of his master, but the other party's trip was not something he could stop.

As for why the Kongyun Dao people left, he didn't know, he only knew that this matter was related to the matter discussed by the Kongyun Dao people and the Heavenly Spirit Zen Master yesterday.

Xu Yang shook his head, put aside the departure of the Kongyun Dao people for the time being, and began to think about his own affairs in his mind.

As soon as he thought of himself, he thought of his experience in the past ten years, and Xu Yang's face showed a thick bitterness.

In the past ten years, he had never taken a step out of the Empty Cloud Valley, except for the Empty Cloud Dao people, he had only seen a few immortal cultivators who came to visit the Empty Cloud Dao people, and that Heavenly Spirit Zen Master was the most outsider he had ever seen.

This matter was not the reason for his low mood, the people of Kongyun Dao had suggested many times to take him out to see him, but Xu Yang himself refused.

There is no other reason, a full ten years have passed, he has not yet felt the existence of aura, he has not really stepped into the path of cultivating immortals, and he is still a mortal.

Every time he thought of this, he was urged to bury himself in penance, hoping to have the opportunity to truly cultivate immortals, although he longed for things in the outside world, but his thoughts were suppressed by him.

But no matter how hard Xu Yang tried, he couldn't successfully feel the aura.

Day after day, year after year, ten years passed.

Although the people of the Sky Cloud Dao had never reproached him once, Xu Yang knew very well that he had broken the hearts of the people of the Sky Cloud Dao.

You must know that in order to help themselves feel the aura, the people of Kongyun Dao have tried their best, and all kinds of elixirs have been taken by themselves, and countless secrets of ancient books have been consulted, and people have aged a lot after hard work.

But I don't know if Xu Yang's qualifications are too low, or his luck is not good, or for other reasons, he tried dozens of methods in a row without success.

In the past year, the people of Kongyun Dao have stopped looking for other methods for Xu Yang.

"Whew!" exhaled deeply, and Xu Yang's eyes showed confusion.

Xu Yang had no complaints about the practices of the people of the Sky Cloud Dao. He knew that the other party was for his own good and didn't want to put too much pressure on himself.

You must know that the best time for mortals to step into the path of cultivating immortals is around ten years old, which is why the age of children in Sendai is eight to ten years old.

When children pass the age of ten, the likelihood of them being able to cultivate immortals gradually decreases.

Because as they get older, their perception of aura will gradually decrease. If the age is over twenty and he has not yet stepped into the path of cultivating immortals, then this person has almost lost the ability to feel aura.

Thinking about this, Xu Yang couldn't help but be a little discouraged.

He is now nineteen years old, but he has not really cultivated immortals. Although he called the people of Kongyun Dao a master, it was actually just a name.

In this life, he should have no chance with the immortal path, and even the master of the Kongyun Dao people gave up.

The deeper he thought about it, the more pessimistic Xu Yang became.

Suddenly, he opened his eyes suddenly, quickly got out of bed, and left his bedroom.

Soon after, Xu Yang appeared in a small room.

There is only one row of bookshelves in this room, which is densely packed with books. Most of the books on the shelves were mortal books, which were specially bought for Xu Yang by the people of Kongyun Dao.

As soon as Xu Yang entered the room, he familiarly pulled out a classic book at the bottom of the lower left corner of the bookshelf. Without looking at it, he took the book back to his bedroom.

Xu Yang, who was kneeling on the bed again, looked at the big characters written in the classics in his hand, and his expression was uncertain.

This classic is called "The Secret Book of Ten Thousand Poisons", although it is only a mortal classic, but it unexpectedly attracted Xu Yang.

Because Xu Yang inadvertently discovered that the last part of this book is related to cultivating immortals, and it also records a method to assist mortals in cultivating immortals-Hundred Poisons Quenching Body Dafa.

In this Dafa of Hundred Poisons Quenching the Body, it is said that hundreds of poisons are mixed to neutralize the toxicity and soak it into a hundred poisonous water.

The human body is soaked and quenched in a hundred poisonous waters, which makes the human skin more sensitive, and can increase the possibility of the human body feeling the aura between heaven and earth.

It's just that in the book, there is no mention of the increased success rate of this method, and there is not even any mention of whether anyone has ever stepped into the path of cultivating immortals with this method.

What made Xu Yang murmur in his heart was that the author of the book mentioned in the postscript that this method is extremely dangerous, as long as the slightest carelessness, the person who tries the law may be poisoned to death, or even corroded and melted in the poisonous water.

Xu Yang had read this book many years ago, and he was not very interested in this method at first, after all, this method was too dangerous, and he didn't know if it was effective, so of course he couldn't try the method.

But now the situation is very different, Xu Yang's age is approaching the final period of cultivating immortals, if he can't cultivate immortals again, after a year and a half, I'm afraid that the matter of cultivating immortals will be hopeless.

After pondering for a long time, Xu Yang gritted his teeth, opened the part of this book about the Dafa of Hundred Poisons Quenching the Body, and watched it carefully.

This was already the countless times he had studied this method, in fact, he had secretly collected more than ninety kinds of poisons, and he was only a few before he could try this method.

He had been hesitant about such a dangerous method, and he didn't want the people of Kongyun Dao to know about it. Now that the people of the Sky Cloud Dao are gone, it has given him an excellent opportunity.

I don't know how long it took, Xu Yang closed the book, got up and walked out the door, heading to the herb garden in the back.

There are a few poisons left, Xu Yang already has an idea, as long as he uses some medicinal herbs in the herb garden, he can make up a hundred kinds of poisons.

In the next few days, Xu Yang collected medicines and medicines, and finally completed the required hundred poisons.

On this day, Xu Yang was in the bathroom, and in front of him was a large bath tub, and the water in it was crystal clear. Next to the tub is a tray with hundreds of small bottles, all labeled accordingly.

Xu Yang swallowed his saliva lightly, took out the "Secret Book of Ten Thousand Poisons" from his arms, and after opening it, he picked up a medicine bottle on the tray while staring at the instructions on the book.

After reading the label clearly, he took the cork and poured a red powder into the bath bucket.

As soon as the red powder entered the bath tub, it was only a little red at first due to dissolving, and then it melted into the bath water as if nothing had been added.

Xu Yang breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, took another medicine bottle and poured down the poison inside. And so he poured the poison into it vial.

Some of these poisons are powders, some are liquids, and some are even pills.

Xu Yang poured the bath water one by one, and after pouring dozens of bottles, the color of the bath water finally began to change significantly.

The bath water turns from colorless to light red, and it also faintly emits a slight odor. Later, as the poison increased, the water slowly turned purple-red and emitted a pungent stench.

By the time he poured more than ninety poisons, the water had turned pitch black and emitted a disgusting stench.

Looking at the ink-black bath water, Xu Yang felt shocked, and his hands pouring the poison became a little trembling.

When he thought that such poisonous water would be washed away, his stomach was even more tumbling. But in any case, he eventually held back.

When Xu Yang poured the last poison powder into the bath water, the originally dark bath water suddenly boiled, as if it had just been boiled.

Such a situation made Xu Yang stunned. Before he knew it, the dark bath began to change even more strangely.

The color of the bath water slowly faded from pitch black, and the color became lighter and lighter, and soon became light black, and finally it was completely clear, even clearer than before the poison was poured.

With the change of color, the smell of the bath water also changes, and the original strong smell is now not only completely gone, but there is an indescribable and inexplicable fragrance.

For such a change, Xu Yang was a little confused.

The Hundred Poisons Quenching Body Dafa introduced in the "Ten Thousand Poisons Secret Book" did not have the slightest explanation of these changes, so in the face of such a situation, Xu Yang couldn't help but be surprised.

Soon, though, he regained his composure.

After all, compared to the dark and stinking bath water just now, the colorless and fragrant poisonous water is more to his liking.

He carefully stretched out a finger and went down, and immediately lifted it up after dipping it in a little poisonous water, carefully observing the fingers stained with a hundred poisonous water, and found that there was nothing abnormal, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

At this time, he closed his eyes slightly and took a deep breath. When he opened his eyes again, his expression had become extremely determined.

He quickly took off his clothes, gritted his teeth, and immersed himself in the tub. The body is soaked in the hundred poisonous water, which is slightly cool, and the hundred poisonous water does not seem to be much different from the usual bath water.

If you have to find out the difference, you can only say that the hundred poisonous water has a fragrance that comes and goes.

It's a very strange smell, you can smell it when you don't care about it, but when you want to smell it, you can't smell it.

After many attempts, Xu Yang could only twitch the corners of his mouth and no longer delved into it.

Soaking in the poisonous water, Xu Yang's originally nervous heart slowly calmed down.

Although the poisonous water was highly poisonous, it did not cause any damage to his body, but what made him feel extremely depressed was that he also did not feel that his feelings about the aura had changed in any way.

I don't know how many hours have passed, Xu Yang's skin has become a little shriveled, and his lips are dry. Apparently dehydration is caused by soaking in water for too long.

Compared with such trivial matters, Xu Yang's psychological blow was more serious, you must know that he was desperate with the determination to die.

Now there is no danger, but it is clear that the attempt has failed. Such a result made Xu Yang a little disheartened.

He held on for a little longer, and then stood up in despair. But the moment he stood up, his body suddenly trembled violently.

Xu Yang's face was full of disbelief, and he felt that the skin that was now exposed to the air, originally soaked in the bath water, seemed to be squeezed by the air.

No, it should be like the squeeze of something in the air!

Xu Yang didn't hesitate at all, his hands pinched again and again, and then wiped it in front of him.

When he looked at it again, his pale blue light flickered, and he saw some five-colored points of light on his surface skin and in the air.

He looked excited, knowing that what he felt must be aura. Without saying a word, he jumped out of the tub and sat directly on the floor of the bathroom.

The exercises of "Lingyun Jue" appeared in Xu Yang's mind, this set of exercises Xu Yang had memorized many years ago, but every time he ran in the past, his body did not react.

When it is running now, the surrounding aura is constantly flowing into the body from all parts of the body, forming a stream of aura in its body. This spiritual flow followed the route of the exercises, constantly swimming in the meridians and acupoints in his body.

As the exercises worked, Xu Yang felt that there was an indescribable sense of comfort all over his body. At the same time, the surrounding heaven and earth aura continued to pour into his body, converging with the spiritual qi flow in his body.

Xu Yang obviously felt that the spiritual qi in his body was constantly growing, and when the spiritual qi was running in his body according to the exercises for a whole week, the spiritual qi suddenly shrank into a thread.

What Xu Yang didn't know was that almost at the same time, the aura of the entire room suddenly fluctuated violently, as if something drastic had happened.

Xu Yang didn't know about the fluctuation of aura, but he found that the pores all over his body had shrunk and began to secrete something black and slimy.

He was pleasantly surprised in his heart, Xu Yang learned from the mouth of the Sky Cloud Dao that when mortals first gathered qi, the spiritual energy wandering in the body would wash the muscles and marrow of the jade body mortal womb.

Xu Yang found that the spiritual flow had shrunk, but he didn't show any disappointment.

Because he clearly felt that although the aura flow had become smaller, it was denser and seemed to be more powerful.

He forcibly suppressed the excitement of successfully gathering qi, and the exercises in his body continued to operate, and the spiritual qi flow ran in his body for week after week.

In this way, a quarter of an hour later, Xu Yang sat cross-legged in place without any change.

An hour later, he was still the same. Time kept passing, and soon half a day passed, and Xu Yang didn't have any intention of stopping.

It wasn't until a day and a night later, when Xu Yang felt a drum beat in his abdomen, that he ran the exercises for the last week.

When he stopped practicing, his eyes flickered, and his heart was extremely complicated.

It's been nearly ten years, and I finally succeeded in gathering strength and stepped into the road of cultivating immortals!

At this moment, he looked at himself, and his body was covered with a thick layer of black paste, which was the impurity discharged from the body, which was a clear proof of the success of qi gathering.

He smiled softly, got up and freshened up, washed off the stinky black paste, then put on his clothes and ate as he normally would.

He knew that he had only just stepped into the early stage of Qi Gathering, and he had not yet opened the valley. Although the amount of food is greatly reduced compared to mortals, it is still necessary to eat from time to time.

After a full meal, Xu Yang returned to his bedroom and continued to exercise to absorb the aura of heaven and earth.

In this way, Xu Yang usually does almost nothing else except for the necessary daily life, which is meditation and practice.

Time passed day by day, and soon a month passed.

The days of cultivation are quite boring, but Xu Yang enjoys it.

During this period, the spiritual energy flow in Xu Yang's body continued to grow and become more and more refined, but he also felt that it was different from when he first cultivated.

Because at the beginning, he could clearly feel the changes in his spiritual flow, but as his cultivation deepened, this feeling became weaker and weaker.

Obviously, his cultivation has reached a certain level, and although his cultivation is deepening day by day, it is no longer so obvious. This didn't make Xu Yang frown and start thinking about other things.

I saw Xu Yang pick up a classic book from his side, which was the "Lingyun Jue" exercise book he cultivated.

In addition to the basic exercises of the Qi Gathering Period and some basic knowledge of cultivating immortals, some small spells are recorded on the last part of the page.

He flipped to the back of the tome, and each page on it featured a spell. There are more than ten kinds of small spells such as fireball, ice pick, wind resistance, and earth wall.

These spells are the most basic spells for immortal cultivators, and although they are limited, they are the root of all spells.

Xu Yang didn't know anything about this, he had just stepped into the path of cultivating immortals, and he had a strong interest in these small spells.

He carefully studied the introduction of these spells, and finally settled on a small spell called the Hidden Soul Technique.

The Hidden Spirit Technique does not have any offensive and defensive powers, and its effect is only to allow immortal cultivators to hide their own aura. If the other party does not use the divine sense of the immortal cultivator to probe the things around him, it is difficult to discover the identity of the immortal cultivator who uses the hidden spirit technique.

The reason why Xu Yang chose this kind of spell was because he hoped to use the Hidden Spirit Technique to conceal that he had already stepped into the path of cultivating immortals in front of the people of the Empty Cloud Dao, so as to surprise his master.

After making up his mind in his heart, he began to cultivate the hidden spirit technique according to the introduction.

Xu Yang operated the spiritual qi in his body, and he learned from the classics that the spiritual qi in his body was called mana. In the flow of mana, his own aura slowly dimmed.

From then on, Xu Yang began to practice various techniques during the day, and continued to absorb the aura of heaven and earth to enhance his cultivation at night.

Time passed imperceptibly, and three years passed in the blink of an eye.

In the early morning of this day, Xu Yang was standing alone in the backyard.

He pinched the trick with both hands, stretched out the index finger of his right hand forward, and a trace of fiery red light began to appear on his fingertips during the mana operation in his body, and then the light became more and more intense, forming a small fireball, which was one of the spells Xu Yang cultivated.

As soon as Xu Yang saw the fireball form, with a flick of his index finger, the fireball flew forward.

Almost at the same time, Xu Yang's body became blurred, and when his figure reappeared, it actually appeared directly in front of the direction of the fireball.

Xu Yang looked at the flying fireball, with a serious look in his eyes.

Between his hands, a few feet in front of him, the earth on the ground suddenly bulged, and a wall of earth rose.

The earthen wall had just risen, and the fireball he had just sent out had already flown in front of the earthen wall.

"Bang!" heard a loud bang, and the fireball collided with the earthen wall.

I saw that the fireball blew up a big gap in the earthen wall, and then the earthen wall collapsed weakly, but the fireball itself dissipated, and obviously the two spells canceled each other out.

Xu Yang's face turned slightly pale, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, but soon the smile dissipated, and he actually let out a sigh.

In three years, Xu Yang has perfected the spells in "Lingyun Jue".

I don't know if it's because I'm alone behind closed doors, or if it's something else, but he's recently realized that no matter how hard he tries, or if he tries other methods, he can't improve the use of these spells.

Under such circumstances, the cultivation of spells, which had made him so excited at the beginning, gradually became boring.

Recently, except for the cultivation spell that he was doing in the early morning, he would practice the Lingyun Jue the rest of the time.

In terms of cultivation, although he has been practicing diligently for three years, he feels that his body is like a bottomless pit, and no matter how much he absorbs, he can't fill it.

Although his cultivation continued to increase, he also knew that his speed was extremely slow, and even gave him the illusion that he would not be able to absorb satisfaction for the rest of his life.

At this time, he stopped the operation of the spell, and the white light of his body flickered, and the whole person was already shooting towards the mouth of the canyon.

Soon, Xu Yang stopped in front of the mouth of the canyon. He looked at the dense fog of the formation at the mouth of the canyon, and the expression in his eyes was complicated and abnormal, and he actually stood in place in a daze, pondering motionlessly.

For three years, there has been no movement in the canyon formation, and Xu Yang does not have the formation of this formation, so he cannot control this formation. Unless he forcibly breaks the formation, don't think about leaving the canyon for half a step.

Xu Yang didn't care much about this matter, he had been living in the Empty Cloud Valley for a long time, and he already had a lot of feelings.

Although he sometimes wanted to go out and see the outside world, he was usually busy cultivating, so this desire was not strong.

It's just that he cares a lot about another thing. That is the fact that his master, the Kongyun Daoist, has not returned for three years.

In the nearly ten years that Xu Yang and the other party have lived, the people of Kongyun Dao generally return in a month or two after they go out, and even the longest time is only more than a year.

A situation like now, where he has not returned for three years, has never occurred, which makes Xu Yang a little worried about the arrival of the Sky Cloud Dao people.

Every time he thinks of the people of Kongyundao, he will stand at the mouth of the canyon, as if waiting, as if missing.

Just as Xu Yang was pondering, the mist of the canyon formation in front of him, which had not moved for three years, suddenly fluctuated violently, slowly moving to both sides in a continuous tumbling.

Xu Yang's heart was shocked, the color of surprise in his eyes flashed, and a shallow smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. The heart that was originally hanging because of the worry of the people of the Sky Cloud Dao suddenly relaxed.

His whole body flashed with white light, and the aura of his whole body suddenly dimmed, and in the end, he didn't even have a trace of mana fluctuation.

Almost at the same time, the fog in front of the canyon slowly opened a one-person passage, and the figure of the Kongyun Dao man appeared in front of Xu Yang.

However, when Xu Yang saw the face of the people of the Sky Cloud Dao, the joy in his heart suddenly decreased. Because at this moment, the face of the Sky Cloud Dao people was gray, his eyes were gloomy, and the hand holding the formation plate in the valley was also trembling slightly.

"Master!" Xu Yang stepped forward with a serious face, and asked nervously as he bowed, "Are you okay?"

"Cough!cough!cough!" The people of Kongyun Dao coughed lightly a few times, and shook for no reason, which made Xu Yang look frightened.

Just as he was about to step forward to help, the Kongyun Dao man had already regained his footing, his face flushed for a while and then receded, but his face became ruddy, and he smiled as if he was nothing, "Look at you scared?! Just joking with you, let's go to the hall with the teacher." I have something important to tell you for the teacher!"
