Chapter 22: The Early Days
Zhang Ran suddenly felt that he was a feather in the air, a drop of water in a river, and a fine dust in the belly of the earth.
The body and mind seem to be embraced and caressed by countless ethereal breaths, close, warm, and comfortable, like a baby in the mother's womb. It makes people want to stop, want to wake up and sleep. Gradually, Zhang Ran seemed to have lost himself and couldn't find his way out in the misty jungle. At this time, the internal force of water and fire in the dantian fluctuated violently, as if calling for a lost child.
Gradually, he saw clearly, countless colorful points of light, cheering around him, reluctant to leave. He wanted to reach out and catch these spiritual anomalous points of light, but suddenly, the divine court shook, and some colored points of light were unceremoniously immediately dispersed, leaving only fiery red and inky points of light, still lingering around him.
The acupoints all over his body immediately sensed the guidance of the spiritual root in the divine court, and opened them all together, like a big stomach devouring the red and black points of light near the spiritual energy. A tornado blew in the sky above the cave, and the aura around hundreds of zhang was like a storm in the sea, rolling towards the cave in waves. The whole cave is surrounded by a magnificent scene.
Gan Wansheng and Hou Li, who were cultivating with their eyes closed in the miscellaneous hall, were aware of the monstrous vision of Zhang Ran's cave aura, and remembered that when they broke through the realm, they didn't have such a big formation. The two glanced at each other, full of envy. A small breakthrough, such an earth-shattering momentum, what does this mean, it goes without saying, this person has great potential, the future is amazing, and the achievements are limitless.
The black and red domineering spiritual power rushed into the acupuncture point, squeezed towards the meridians, and simply and rudely occupied the dantian, Zhang Ran's original internal force was instantly assimilated, transformed, and completely replaced, and the internal force of water and fire became a dual-attribute water and fire spiritual power.
After completing the transformation of spiritual power, Zhang Ran thought that his cultivation had reached the realm of the Qi acceptance period without any danger or danger, and he was quite complacent. Suddenly, the aura mass in the dantian spun up and spun faster without warning, and the speed became faster and faster. The aura storm that had just subsided was like waves blowing on the surface of the sea, and the meridians were reshaped again and again in the cracking. The four walls of the dantian also seemed to be papier-mâché, and they were immediately torn to pieces. The spiritual power continued to expand and spread, and the dantian was infinitely expanded.
After lasting for an hour, the spiritual power finally stabilized, and the aura outside the cave also stopped. A strange smell made him vomit, and there was a thin layer of ash on his skin. Oh, it's a washing of the marrow.
With the birth of the spiritual power in the body, a ray of light descended on Zhang Ran's Divine Court Consciousness Sea. The originally gray sea of knowledge has also become bright and transparent, and the spiritual roots of water and fire are like fish playing in water, full of spirituality.
Zhang Ran, who was cultivating with his eyes closed, had a wonderful indescribable feeling, the meridians and dantian in his body were unobstructed at a glance, extremely clear, and the color of his spiritual power was light purple. Every stone and tree within a radius of twenty zhang from the cave can also be seen clearly. He didn't know that this was actually the spiritual consciousness that was born, and he could clearly feel a certain range of things without using his eyes. Ordinary people's spiritual sense can "see" a range of about 12 zhang, but Zhang Ran is shockingly reached 20 zhang, I have to say that the magic of "Breaking the Hole".
The most fundamental reason why some outer disciples who are in retreat are unable to break through the realm is that they are addicted to the pleasure brought by the aura and cannot extricate themselves, which eventually leads to the failure of breaking the realm.
During the Qi acceptance period, a new realm of cultivation, Zhang Ran cried with joy.
Remembering the ebony box, he quickly flipped out the forbidden charm. Holding the Five Elements Forbidden Breaking Talisman in his hand, he injected a trace of spiritual power into it, and the ebony box shone brightly, and with a "click", the lid of the box was opened. Zhang Ran tried to open his eyes wide and look in, it was a small folded silk. Zhang Ran carefully unfolded the silk silk, the size of a page, and it was full of handwriting.
If it's a secret of the general knowledge period, it's useless.
"Melting Ice and Melting Flames", what kind of exercise is this?
Zhang Ran's breathing couldn't help but become heavy. couldn't wait to read it in one go, and Zhang Ran was overjoyed. This is a book of water and fire practitioners' immortal cultivation exercises, the magic is wonderful, practicing this exercise, you will get the dual attribute spiritual root of water and fire. God thinks too much about himself, a small box has brought such a dramatic turn to his cultivation. "Waterspout" is no longer needed, with "Melting Ice and Melting Flames", Zhang Ran believes that his cultivation path will definitely embark on a smooth road to the sky, and he will also enter a new height.
After the ecstasy, Zhang Ran was still not satisfied, but it was a pity that the "Ice Melting Flame Technique" could only be cultivated to the foundation building period, but there was no follow-up Jindan period exercises. He scolded himself, he was really not greedy enough.
Zhang Ran read it carefully a few more times and confirmed that he had completely understood the key principle of the exercises, so he began to try to cultivate according to the running route of the "Ice Melting and Flame Technique". The aura gathered in the cave was agitated for a moment, and moths rushed to Zhang Ran's body as if they were fighting fire. He was amazed to find that the aura absorbed by the acupuncture points was no longer limited to the attributes of water and fire, and these aura flowing through the meridians was reversed into water and fire spiritual power by the "Ice Melting and Flame Technique" and injected into the dantian. Zhang Ran was stunned, what level of exercise is "Melting Ice and Transforming Flames", its domineering strength is no less than that of "Breaking Holes" in the Tongzhi period. Zhang Ran quickly ruled out the pleasure of being smashed and stunned, and practiced selflessly.
"The Trick of Breaking the Acupoint" helped Zhang Ran open the three ** acupoints, which ran through the twelve canons and the eight veins of the Qi Sutra, increased the capacity of aura absorption, and accelerated the speed of aura absorption. And the "Ice Melting Flame Technique" is not only suitable for the cultivation of water and fire spirit roots, but its terrifying effect lies in the transformation of any attribute aura. From this, it can be concluded that among the ordinary disciples in the Qi acceptance period, Zhang Ran's cultivation speed and strength in the future will definitely surpass his peers, far exceeding the same price.
There are two spells recorded in the "Ice Melting Flame Technique", namely the purple light mask and the meteor butterfly. One is defense, the other is attack. Unfortunately, there is no escape spell.
After nearly two months of retreat, Zhang Ran was extremely tired both physically and mentally, and his whole body was stinky. He handed over the Cave Mansion Prohibition Card to the disciple who guarded the Cave Mansion, greeted him, and quickly ran back to his Shitai Peak Cave Mansion. The guardian disciple seemed to be frightened, and when he saw Zhang Ran's appearance as a savage, he covered his nose and was shocked.
Zhang Ran slept for three days and three nights, and his tired body and mind gradually recovered. After tidying himself up, he walked out of the cave and came to the stone platform.
For several days in a row, in addition to the necessary consolidation of the realm, most of the time, I stood on the stone platform and looked into the distance.
The white clouds are calm, and the green pines are not old.
During the Qi acceptance period, it can be regarded as embarking on the path of immortals, the road to immortality, which seems to have begun since then. Zhang Ran reminded himself that the road of cultivation in the future may be longer, more bumpy, and more lonely. Temporary gains and losses do not mean the level of future achievements.
I have advanced to the period of accepting qi, and I don't know what arrangements the sect will make, so I might as well go and visit Elder Gan and listen to what this old man has to say. Zhang Ran usually spends most of his time on cultivation, and rarely takes the initiative to contact other outer disciples, so it is reasonable that he doesn't know much about some things.
Gan Wansheng looked at Zhang Ran with a smile: "Not bad, not bad, the breath is heavy, and the cultivation is consolidated." ”
Zhang Ran said respectfully: "The younger generation can make progress thanks to Uncle Shi's advice that day. He bowed down and thanked him sincerely.
Gan Wansheng was very satisfied with Zhang Ran's non-arrogant and impatient attitude, and said, "It's nothing, what are you going to do next?"
Zhang Ran's expression was ignorant, and Gan Wansheng understood that in this kid's heart, he was afraid that only cultivation would not allow anything else, and he was young and could bury his head in cultivation, and his mental temperament was really commendable.
"Once the outer disciple enters the Qi acceptance period, his identity becomes that of the inner disciple, and he must report to the Inner Gate Qingyun Peak. It is important to know that the inner door is no better than the outer door, the situation is complicated, you should be careful yourself. Gan Wansheng solemnly explained.
"The disciple remembered, and the disciple wished the uncle to cultivate and enjoy eternal life. Zhang Ran slapped a little ass.
Hehe, I'm still an eternal fart, I'm almost one hundred and thirty years old, and I haven't touched the edge of the middle stage of foundation building. Aren't many elders of the outer gate unable to break through the realm and have no hope of cultivation, so they voluntarily come to the outer gate to serve the sect. But I seem to enjoy this little flattery, well, fortunately, this kid is not just a tendon who knows how to cultivate.
The inner door is complicated.
From Elder Gan Wansheng, he also learned that Lin Sen and other outer disciples had chosen to retreat and break through the realm, I don't know how Jiang Wangqin's cultivation was, he remembered Jiang Daolin's entrustment back then, so let's go and take a look. Regarding the love between men and women, Zhang Ran doesn't want to think about it now, he has a good impression of Jiang Wangqin, but the road is difficult, and love can only be put aside for the time being, I believe she can understand it. If one day he can set foot on the peak of this cultivation realm, maybe ......
Knocking on Jiang Wangqin's cave, the woman looked at Zhang Ran happily and shyly.
Zhang Ran coughed lightly and asked, "Senior Sister Jiang, where have you cultivated?"
Jiang Wangqin happily replied: "There is a spirit fruit spirit stone given by Brother Zhang, and the little sister has reached the beginning of the enlightenment period, I don't know if you ...... big brother."
Zhang Ran told her about the realm of her Qi acceptance period, and she was so happy that her eyebrows and eyes were crooked, and she had to work harder. Zhang Ran told her specific feelings about breaking through the realm, and she had a little more caution on her face, and she was more eager to fly side by side with the man she loved. She bit her red lips, clenched her pink fists, and a hint of determination flashed in her beautiful eyes.
Zhang Ran originally wanted to say goodbye to You Ziqi and the three of them, but he didn't think about it, but he met unexpectedly. The speed of their cultivation is not slow, and they are still a little bit away from being able to retreat and break through the realm. For Zhang Ran's breakthrough, they sincerely congratulated. Zhang Ran also gave each person five hundred spirit stones, which moved You Rong to tears. There is no shortage of selfish and ruthless people in cultivation, but I am afraid that there are only a few like Zhang Ran. The avenue is ruthless, and people are affectionate.
I don't know what kind of existence the inner door is, Zhang Ran is very expectant.
