Chapter 6: The Lark World
"What? Brother Ning Chen is interested in this painting? This is the treasure of the Demon Spirit Sect, it was painted by the ancestor of the Demon Spirit Sect, at that time, he only peeked at the little thousand hundred spirit diagrams, and then drew it from memory, the mystery is endless, and it has made countless Demon Spirit Sect disciples comprehend the way of heaven and break through the bottleneck of cultivation. Qiao Qiao raised her pretty face and said to Ning Chen.
Ning Chen on the side was already red-faced, his heart was even more fluttering and beating, from Qiao Qiao's mouth, he could hear that this treasure was just a fake, painted from memory, and the ancient fan in his arms......
From the painter's point of view, the ancient fan in his arms is more than one grade higher than the mural in front of him, in other words, the ancient fan in his arms is very likely to be the real thing!
The fakes drawn from memory are all treasures, so what are the authentic works? Thinking of this, Ning Chen's heart beat faster, and he hurriedly recited the heart purification technique taught by Master Kujue, and his mood calmed down a little.
The whole person didn't dare to show it excessively, and Ning Chen still understood the truth that the husband was innocent and guilty.
"In this way, if it is so exquisite, it is just a fake, where is the real thing?" Ning Chen took Qiao Qiao's small hand and inquired.
Qiao Qiao shook his little head: "The age is too long, at least thousands of years, about the true works of the little thousand hundred spirit map, there is no way to know for a long time, I just saw sporadic records in the Lang Huan Book Pavilion of the Demon Spirit Sect, according to legend, the little thousand hundred spirit map is a small thousand thousand spirit world, which is rich in spiritual energy and countless treasures." ”
In this regard, Ning Chen forced himself to calm down, just nodded slightly, and his heart was already fluttering and jumping.
Crossing the covered bridge, Qiao Qiao took Ning Chen and followed him to the brown cabin, built along the stream, although it was not very magnificent, but it was extra chic.
"It's too late, Brother Ning Chen, you can stay here first, I'll take you to meet the head here tomorrow." Qiao Qiao said a word to Ning Chen, and then shook the white jade slip in his hand in front of the door, and the small prohibition on the wooden door was removed.
In fact, this small cabin was first inhabited by Bai Xinyao, and now it is in a state of abandonment.
Stepping into the wooden house, although the tables, chairs, and wooden beds inside are not precious, they are clean and abnormal, and even in the room, there is still a faint fragrance of Bai Xinyao.
What made Ning Chen even more ecstatic was that the large bookshelf on one side of the wall was full of all kinds of books, as many as hundreds, most of which Ning Chen had never read.
Ning Chen has loved reading since he was a child, and these books undoubtedly make Ning Chen like a treasure.
"From now on, everything here Brother Ning Chen can be used at will, and this is also the maximum I can help you, after all, my status in the Demon Spirit Sect is not very high. As he spoke, Qiao Qiao gently patted the small storage bag on his waist, and then an ancient book and two broken spirit stones were placed on the desk beside Ning Chen.
"Brother Ning Chen, these two pieces of broken spirit stones, for the time being, it is very inconvenient to have no spirit stones in the Demon Spirit Sect, the time is not early, you should rest early." With that, Jojo didn't stay too long in the hut and turned to leave.
Looking at Qiao Qiao's figure, gradually engulfed in the darkness, Ning Chen's heart was full of gratitude, and the whole person relaxed slightly, and the fatigue was also overwhelming.
However, Ning Chen didn't fall asleep, but slowly focused his gaze on the desk, only to see that there were two broken spirit stones left by Qiao Qiao, as well as a book that seemed to be a little worn, the pages had been yellowed, and there were mottled marks left by the years.
"Huh?"
Ning Chen, who was standing next to the desk, suddenly moved, and saw that the four words "Xuanning Heart Sutra" could be vaguely seen on the mottled pages!
Seeing the words "Xuan Ning Heart Sutra", Ning Chen's tired eyes couldn't help but widen, and there was a strange luster, and his mouth opened slightly, this "Xuan Ning Heart Sutra" is the superior technique for cultivation in the Qi Condensation Period, and it is many times better than the "Qi Condensation Sutra" in Ning Chen's hand.
Even in Lin'an City, only the royal family and nobles will have it, with it, Ning Chen's next cultivation will definitely get twice the result with half the effort, reaching the second layer of condensation, which is no longer out of reach.
"I didn't expect Qiao Qiao to keep such a precious exercise for himself......" Ning Chen muttered to himself, his heart was extremely excited at the same time, but also full of emotion, and at the same time, a warm current crossed his heart.
Thinking that in the Hou Mansion at the beginning, everyone was full of indifference to Ning Chen, even if it was the entire Lin'an City, but now he has received such a favor from the little white fox, humanity has always flaunted justice, but infinitely evil monsters, think about it, it's really a bit ironic.
Carefully put away the "Xuanning Heart Sutra", Ning Chen couldn't wait to take out the ancient fan from his arms, unfold it again, and observe carefully, the painting style is still vivid, compared with the small Qianbailing diagram of the covered bridge, it is simply not on the same level.
Now Ning Chen is more and more convinced that he has obtained the true work of the Little Thousand Thousand Spirit Diagram!
"Qiao Qiao said, the true work of the little thousand hundred spirit diagrams is a unique world, full of spiritual energy and countless treasures, but how can it be opened?" Ning Chen muttered to himself, looking over and over again, it was always a painting.
Carefully putting away the ancient fan, Ning Chen got up and began to look through the huge bookshelves, trying to find some classics about the introduction of the Little Thousand Thousand Spirit Diagram.
Since the classification of the books on the shelves was very clear, Ning Chen soon found more than a dozen books on painting, some about the evaluation of ancient paintings, and some summaries of some legendary paintings.
Opened one of the books on the evaluation of ancient paintings, which was full of dazzling introductions, introducing more than a dozen ancient famous paintings, which benefited Ning Chen a lot from painting, and the last few pages introduced were Xiao Qianbailing Diagram.
It's just a record of the small thousand hundred spirit maps, the sentence has become a lot more blurred, who painted this painting, there is no record, the previous annotation did not mention half a point, just commented on this peerless painting, and legend that as long as you have enough spirit stones, you can step into this painting, practice in a place where the aura is extremely rich, and you can also get rare treasures, or learn some skills in front of the immortals.
Seeing this, Ning Chen's heart was about to jump out of his throat, and his gaze couldn't help but focus on the two broken spirit stones left by Qiao Qiao beside him.
"Can you use spirit stones to open the world of small thousand hundred spirits?" Ning Chen muttered to himself, then quickly got up and closed all the windows and doors around him, and then picked up a fingernail-sized broken spirit stone little by little and placed it on top of the fan.
The next moment, I saw that the broken spirit stone was on the small Qianbai Ling Diagram on the fan surface, like a small piece of ice crystal placed on the blazing iron plate, and it melted away in an instant, and at the same time, the small Qianbai Ling Diagram flashed, and then Ning Chen's whole person disappeared instantly, leaving only the ancient fan hanging in the air.
Ning Chen only felt that his eyes flashed at this time, and then what appeared in front of him was the picture in the small thousand hundred spirit map, different from the past, what was in front of him was a real world, a grass and a tree, within reach, the breeze carried a plump aura across his body, instantly increasing the weak aura in Ning Chen's body!
"This ...... This is the ancient essence and pure aura!" Ning Chen couldn't help but exclaim, his voice was a little hoarse, and the whole person was extremely excited, at this moment, he was sure that what was told in the book was true, and he had inadvertently picked up the true trace of the little thousand hundred spirit map!
As far as the eye can see, the surrounding immortal pavilions are hanging in the clouds, connected by a line of immortal iron and Lingshan, and at the foot of the mountain where Ning Chen is located, it is close to a pavilion, and an old man in a green robe with fairy wind bones is holding a jade pen, writing and painting on the stone table.
When he got closer, Ning Chen's heart moved, and he saw that this old man with immortal wind bones was drawing talismans, and the talismans he drew were completely different from those of Lingqiu Kingdom, and it was a completely different form.
After a closer look, Ning Chen's eyes suddenly lit up, and his heart moved, only to see that this old man's penmanship was extraordinary, recall, isn't this a combination of those strange words on the back of the fan?
"It turns out that on the back of the fan, there are not words, but mysterious brushwork. Ning Chen suddenly realized!
Look at the unfinished painting next to the old man, using the same brushwork, all saying that Fu and painting are the same way, at this moment, Ning Chen had a complete epiphany!
However, at this moment, Ning Chen suddenly felt that the things in front of him began to blur, as if he was separating himself from this world.
It should be the time for the broken spirit stone to last.
"I can't imagine that a broken spirit stone lasts so shortly. Ning Chen muttered to himself, the corner of his eyes aimed at a spirit grass under his feet, reporting the attitude of the thief not going empty, Ning Chen quickly leaned over, ready to pick this spirit grass, but pulled it out but did not move.
At this time, Ning Chen suddenly remembered, the book said that in the small Qianbailing world, everything needs spirit stones, and if you want to take anything from here, you need equivalent spirit stones in exchange, not what you want to take.
Swish!
Suddenly, Ning Chen's eyes flickered, and then the whole person appeared in the original wooden house, holding an ancient fan in his hand.
Looking at the little thousand hundred spirit map in front of him to restore its original appearance again, Ning Chen's heart can be described as full of mixed feelings, there is joy and bitterness, joy is that he seems to have found a huge treasure, the bitter thing is that the treasure is not for nothing, it needs spirit stones.
"A broken spirit stone can only stay in the small thousand spirit world for ten breaths, and everything needs to be exchanged for spirit stones, which is really expensive. Ning Chen muttered to himself in his heart, bitterness arose, the reason was that he was a poor bastard, penniless, and owed Qiao Qiao two broken spirit stones.
At this moment, Ning Chen had almost never been so eager for money and spirit stones.
Of course, this time to enter the world of small thousand hundred spirits, don't look at the time of only ten breaths, but Ning Chen is not without gains, at least Ning Chen has fully inhaled ten breaths of pure ancient aura.
Ning Chen has read some ancient books, and naturally knows in his heart what the ancient aura means, legend has it that in ancient times, the power of cultivating immortals abounded, and the reason is that the ancient aura can allow monks to improve their cultivation faster, and they can better control magic weapons and talismans.
It was only later that the ancient aura gradually thinned out and finally dissipated, leaving only a few immortal caves, but each immortal cave was a place that the monk dreamed of.
As for the plump and pure ancient aura, it would be impossible to think of it.
It's just that these ten mouthfuls of pure ancient aura are at least equivalent to a hundred incense sticks.
Thinking of this, Ning Chen's heart was already pounding.
In addition, he also has a great understanding of Fu Dao and Painting Dao Ning Chen.
"As long as I thoroughly absorb and refine the Ten Breaths of Ancient Pure Spiritual Qi in my body, it is enough for me to be promoted to the second layer of condensing qi. Ning Chen muttered to himself, his eyes shining with excitement.
Then, Ning Chen couldn't take care of sleeping, put away the ancient fan, and hurriedly picked up the "Xuanning Heart Sutra" and began to study.
The entire "Xuan Ning Heart Sutra" is only a few dozen pages, but the Xuan Condensation Exercises recorded in it are full of mysteries in Ning Chen's opinion, and they are worthy of being the superior exercises in the Qi Condensation Period.
