Liu Chang saw that the old monk had left, so he continued to practice the nine-character mantra, but unfortunately he couldn't find the feeling just now. In this way, Liu Chang stayed on the second floor of the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion for nearly ten days, remembering the nine-character mantra deeply in his heart, and practicing two of the nine mudras.

After that, Liu Chang went directly to the fourth floor to study the art of alchemy. The reason why I didn't go to the third floor to read the alchemy classics was because there would be more alchemy classics in the Nine Heavens Guan Medicine Spring Peak than in Guiyan Temple, and there was also the pharmacopoeia of the ancestor of Danzun, so there was no need to waste time here, so I skipped it directly and came to the fourth floor.

On the fourth floor, Liu Chang focused on studying the art of "planting tools", only to find that the jade slip given by the Master was only a means and lacked practical experience, and there were a large number of experience records in the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, which made Liu Chang refreshed. At the same time, some refining skills and experience also broadened Liu Chang's horizons a lot, and he couldn't wait to move them all into his head, but the time was still too limited, so he could only pick what he thought was important and put it in his mind. Of course, Liu Chang also took a certain amount of time to check out some information about demon beasts and spirit insects. The information of the demon beasts is basically the same as what the Master told him, and the information of the spirit insects is too little, they are all low-level spirit insects such as red peak ants, black gold bees, and phantom butterflies, and they didn't find a trace of news about Xiao Hei, which made Liu Chang a little disappointed.

In this way, Liu Chang stayed in the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion for twenty-five days before coming out, these twenty-five days, Liu Chang ate a pill of Bigu Pill every day to satisfy his hunger, almost never sleeping, he was really tired before eating a nourishing pill, and his spirit was immediately sober, but his body couldn't bear it in the end, so he was reluctant to sleep for one night, and continued to study the next day. Liu Chang's selfless behavior made the old monk secretly admire, no wonder he was able to build a foundation at a young age, which was inseparable from diligent cultivation.

After Liu Chang left the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, the old monk with closed eyes also appeared in the room of the abbot of Dingxian, and told the abbot of Dingxian in detail about Liu Chang's performance in the Scripture Pavilion, when it was said that Liu Chang could have an epiphany for two hours and was able to cast the immovable fundamental seal, the abbot of Dingxian was also taken aback, and praised the genius again and again, and said to the old monk with closed eyes: "Senior brother, do you think such a talent led him to our temple? That Barrier Valley is so sinister, will Liu Chang's life be in danger when he enters?"

The old monk closed his eyes, pondered for a moment and said: "I don't think this son can be accommodated like Guiyan Temple and Nine Heavens Temple, he will definitely soar for nine days one day! As for the Barrier Valley, he is more suitable, this son's means and heart are all first-class, and he should be able to turn evil into good fortune." If this is the misfortune of dying in the Valley of the Barriers, it is also his life, and he can't complain about others. Junior brother, rest assured. But remember, you must befriend him and make him feel that Guiyan Temple is on his side. ”

The abbot of Dingxian hurriedly said yes, as if a disciple was respectful to his senior brother like a master.

In the following days, Liu Chang practiced in Guiyan Temple, where the aura was abundant and the environment was quiet. Liu Chang also learned in the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion that the reason why the aura here is strong is because there is a spiritual stone vein under Yanyan Peak, which continuously provides spiritual energy, and there is also a ground fire at the bottom of the mountain peak for the purpose of refining and alchemy in Guiyan Temple. In addition to cultivation, the place Liu Chang went to the most was the Refining Pavilion of Guiyan Temple, where there were thousands of craftsmen refining magic weapons, and there were also monks in the foundation building period refining spiritual weapons. The refining methods and means of refining the Refining Pavilion opened Liu Chang's eyes, making Liu Chang's refining theory level rapid by day, and the difference was the practice of refining.

After a period of cultivation, Liu Chang's cultivation during the foundation period was completely stabilized, and he practiced the Divine Thorn to the second layer, which could form a transparent cone, injuring the enemy's divine consciousness and the Yuan Shen in the invisible, and truly achieving the "Divine Thorn", just by cultivating the Divine Thorn, he used more than 30 Divine Cultivation Pills, but the advantage is that the Divine Consciousness and the Yuan Shen have been condensed a lot, making it appear thicker, and the Divine Consciousness can be probed thirty miles away, which is more than ten times higher than the Qi refining period. And with the appearance of the second-layer terrifying stabbing spell, there was also a spell called the Divine Search Technique that was also imprinted in Liu Chang's mind. Searching for God is a kind of exercise that can search for other people's memories of the sea, some of them are vicious, and people who are searched for God will basically become idiots, and the Search for God Technique can search for monks who are one level lower than themselves at most, that is, Liu Chang is now a cultivator in the early stage of foundation building, then he can at most search for gods for monks below the twelfth layer of Qi refining, but he can't perform this technique on monks in the early stage of foundation building.

Because the aura of the dantian has increased by a hundred times, the aura is sufficient, and the foundation building period has entered, Liu Chang's physical fitness has improved greatly after washing the marrow and cutting the hair, and the nine changes of Canglong have naturally changed to the second change, which can change the appearance and body bones. Just this second change, but it made Liu Chang suffer a lot, all bones and meridians seemed to be all shattered and reconnected, the painful Liu Chang died and came back to life, this pain lasted for five days, and now I can't help but shiver when I think about it.

I don't know if Liu Chang has a high understanding of Buddhist magic, in addition to the progress of the above two exercises, the nine-character mantra was actually practiced by him into the first four: Lin, Bing, Fighting, and Being, and the relative Immovable Root Seal, Donkey Kong Wheel Seal, Outer Lion Seal, and Inner Lion Seal have also made small achievements, which made the two abbots of Dingxian surprised. Others don't know the difficulty of cultivating the nine-character mantra, but they know very well that the difficulty of cultivating the second word "soldier" is twice that of the first word "Lin"; the difficulty of cultivating the third word "fight" is twice that of the second word "soldier", and so on, according to common sense, it takes at least half a year to practice the four characters, but Liu Chang only took more than a month, and he practiced at the same time as other exercises.

In these two months, for five days, Liu Chang's cultivation did not increase at all, and that was because of the Canglong Armor and Canglong Arm. After entering the foundation building, the spiritual power was abundant, and the Canglong Armor and Canglong Arm, which were at the level of a high-grade magic weapon, absorbed the spiritual energy from Liu Chang's body together, so that Xiao Hei had to step up to absorb the spiritual energy of the surrounding environment, and even made Liu Chang's flesh and blood lose a lot of weight, which made the abbot of Dingxian worry for several days. It wasn't until the sixth day that Liu Chang's shriveled face slowly returned to normal. The result of a few days of suffering was that both Canglong Armor and Canglong Arms entered the lower grade spirit weapon level! This made Liu Chang very happy, and he smirked for several days, and others thought that something had gone wrong in his practice, and he was stupid in his practice.

After entering the foundation, you can use the spirit weapon as a weapon, Liu Chang took out a medium-grade spirit weapon flying sword from the storage bag, and after refining it for flight, the flight speed is more than twice as fast as the magic weapon; Due to the increase in spiritual power, the power of the Golden Snake Sword is no less than that of ordinary medium-grade spiritual weapons, so Liu Chang still likes to use the Golden Snake Sword as the main attack weapon.

Five days before the opening of the Barrier Valley, the abbot of Dingxian called Liu Chang to the Hall of All Beings.

There are two things in front of the abbot of Dingxian: one is the letter of the distant abbot of Nanshan Temple brought by Liu Chang, and the other is the original of the incorruptible Diamond Sutra that Liu Chang has seen in the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion. Liu Chang didn't know why, looked at the abbot of Dingxian suspiciously, and said, "The master doesn't know what advice he has for the juniors?"

The abbot of Dingxian first picked up the original of the Diamond Sutra and handed it to Liu Chang and said: "Senior Brother Lao said that the donor is very concerned about this Sutra, so Lao Qu decided to give this book to the donor. This sutra has been placed in our temple for thousands of years and no one has cultivated it, so it is better to give it to the donor than to let it be dusty, hoping that the donor can carry forward this sutra. ”

Liu Chang saw the sincerity of what the abbot said, so he did not shirk and put the unbroken Diamond Sutra into the storage bag.

At this time, the abbot of Dingxian pointed to the letter sent by Liu Chang and said, "Does the donor know what this is?"

Liu Chang looked puzzled and said, "Isn't this the letter I brought from the distant abbot?" It turned out to be for the master of the Zhang Gate, but the master of the Zhang Gate asked me to put it away, and later the master of Dingxian asked me to give it to the abbot again?"

"It's a letter, but it's still a map!" said the abbot who wiped his hand lightly on the letter, and a puff of white smoke rose from the letter, and the letter turned into an animal skin. The abbot opened the hide, and there were indeed zigzag lines drawn inside, and there was no doubt that it was a map. Liu Chang didn't expect that the letters that had been on him all the time still had such confidential information.

Looking at the map, Liu Chang's heart moved, he still has two copies of such animal skins, one is from the Six Yang Sect Wen Daozi, and the other is the map of Elder Ling Ji Pavilion Zhong It seems that they are all maps of the Barrier Valley, and if you have time to study it carefully, it will be much more convenient and safe to enter the Barrier Valley with the map.

The abbot of Dingxian handed the map to Liu Chang and said, "This is the map of the Barrier Valley Medicine Garden, there are a few places marked in the map that are suspected of appearing in the Chengying Pill, and the donor will go back and study it carefully, so as not to enter the valley without a clue." ”

Liu Chang put away the map, said goodbye, returned to his room, and hurriedly took out the other two maps, unfolded them, and studied them carefully. The map that the abbot of Dingxian gave him was mainly not the medicine garden but the Mitian Palace, showing the main hall, the secondary hall and the side hall in the map, and there were red dots marked in the three halls, which seemed to be impossible to determine the object in that hall, and what kind of prohibition protection the three halls had in the map.

Elder Zhong's animal skin depicts the terrain of the medicine garden, in which the medicine garden, the Dan room, the alchemy room, the waste Dan room, and the living area are all clearly marked, but the path to enter the medicine garden from outside the valley is a passing by, it seems that the person who drew the map has really put a lot of effort into the medicine garden. There is also a topographic map of the battlefield cave, but unfortunately there is only a detailed geography on the periphery, but the interior is blurry, presumably Elder Zhong only went to the periphery of the battlefield cave, and the Canglong arm was obtained on the periphery of the battlefield cave.

In the end, Liu Chang took out Wen Daozi's animal skin, but saw that it was still a map of Qingniu Country and Zigui Country hand-drawn by Wen Daozi, and there was no information about the Barrier Valley. Liu Chang looked at it several times, but there was still no map to display, and in the end, he couldn't see the content of the map even after using the methods of blisters and looking at the sun. It stands to reason that these three animal skins are made of the same material, and they should all be used to draw a map of the Barrier Valley, but why is Wen Daozi not displayed on the map?

Since you can't see the content of Wen Daozi's map, let's give up, but there are still two maps for reference, which is better than not having a map, so as to avoid running around like a headless fly.

After another two days, Liu Chang was practicing the Buddha's Mahamudra, when he suddenly felt that Xiao Hei, who had been sleeping in the dantian, moved, raised his little head, and woke up. I've been sleeping since I devoured the lightning of the Thunder Tribulation, and it's been almost two months, and after waking up, Xiao Hei's body has become bigger, the size of a mung bean, but now it's the size of a soybean, and his body is even darker. Originally, the aura absorbed by Xiao Hei would be supplied to Liu Chang by thirty percent, but this time Liu Chang did not feel a little aura flowing out of Xiao Hei's body, it seems that Xiao Hei is in urgent need of thunder and lightning energy. However, what made Liu Chang happy was that Xiao Hei's absorption of spiritual energy after waking up was obviously twice as fast as before, which was good enough, with Xiao Hei's help, his cultivation speed would definitely be much faster than that of ordinary monks.

As for why he still needs to practice the Buddha's Mahamudra, it is because although there is a more advanced nine-character mantra spell, Liu Chang found that with his current strength, there is a flaw in casting the nine-character mantra mudra, that is, it takes a long time to prepare for this spell, at least three breaths of time, in the battle field of life and death, three breaths of time is enough to be killed a few times, or the Buddha's Mahamudra is quickly and abnormally cast, almost thinking of it, the mudra is condensed and attacks the enemy. At present, the Buddha's Mahamudra has become more than a dozen zhang in size, and it looks like a small mountain from a distance, and when it is cast, it can imprint a deep giant pit on the ground, and the power is far greater than before.

Liu Chang was trying to communicate with Xiao Hei with his divine sense, when suddenly a powerful coercion came from the air, and a hoarse voice sounded, "Hey, it turned out to be you!" Before Liu Chang could react, a huge palm had already grabbed Liu Chang in his hand.

"Lord Ma Feng, please be merciful, Lord Liu Shi is a distinguished guest of our temple!" At this time, the voice of the abbot of Dingxian sounded, and at the same time, a palm of a hundred zhang and the giant palm intersected just now, taking Liu Chang down and sending it to the abbot of Dingxian.

"Master Closed Leisure is a good method! Ma Ruhai admires!" said in a hoarse voice, and as soon as the words fell, a burly figure appeared in front of Liu Chang. The person who came was dressed in a fiery red robe, even his hair and eyebrows were red, and there was a feeling of being scorched from afar, presumably this person was practicing fire attribute exercises. This person's eyes were staring at Liu Chang, and a coercion was directed towards Liu Chang, making Liu Chang breathless. The abbot waved his long sleeves and blocked in front of Liu Chang, and said, "Why did Ma Daoyou have such a big temper and repeatedly worry about a junior?"

"Hmph, I'll have to ask him!"

Liu Chang was puzzled in his heart, he had no impression of this person Liu Chang, besides, the other party was the same Jindan peak cultivator as the abbot of Dingxian, how could he have an intersection with a low-level monk like himself, and turned to the abbot of Dingxian and said, "The junior doesn't know this senior." ”

"Don't you know, you know it!" came to make a move, an object flew out of Liu Chang's storage bag and fell into this person's hands, Liu Chang looked at it, and sighed in his heart, the secret way is not good, everything else is destroyed, this thing is left, I didn't expect it to reveal its identity. It turned out that what fell into the hands of the people was the Wen Daozi animal skin map that Liu Chang had just studied a few days ago.

Seeing this, the abbot of Dingxian hurriedly said: "Ma Daoyou, is there any misunderstanding during this time?" He is creating an opportunity for Liu Chang to explain.

When Liu Chang heard this, he hurriedly told the causes and consequences of how to enter Qingniu Mountain for refuge, how to cultivate Yongchun Duel, and how he was almost taken away, and finally took out Wen Daozi's bones and put them on the ground, stood aside and stopped talking.

"Now that the matter has been said, Ma Daoyou's things have been lost and recovered, and Kuan and Xiaoyou have also brought back the remains of your disciple, according to the old man's opinion, this matter will be stopped, what does Ma Daoyou think?" said the abbot of Dingxian in a round field.

Ma Daoyou put away the bones of the Daozi on the ground, and said: "For the sake of the abbot of Dingxian, I will spare you once! Could it be that Dingxian Daoyou said that he found a suitable person to enter the Valley of the Barrier?"

"Yes! The candidate who was in advance with Daoyou before was Liu Shizhu, don't look at his young age, but he is very reassuring and trustworthy. The old man has already handed him the map, and Daoyou will also give him the map, so that he can familiarize himself with it in advance. ”
