Chapter 3 Chance Encounters
Early the next morning, Ling Yifan packed up and went straight to the Xuantian Secret Realm, early in the morning he didn't meet other disciples, and when he came to the entrance of the secret realm, Ling Yifan took out the only spirit stone on his body.
A spirit stone could only stay in it for one day, Ling Yifan handed over the spirit stone to the deacon disciple of the secret realm with a heartache, turned around and stepped into the formation to enter the secret realm.
Looking at the familiar world in front of him, Ling Yifan only felt like a world away, sighed, and said helplessly: "Senior, I have been to this first layer several times but have found nothing, and I can't enter the second layer, I can't do anything!"
The old man in the bead smiled bitterly, "Hey, you kid, there are a few spiritual grasses left behind here, and there is a spiritual grass under a bluestone one hundred and fifty miles in front of you one hundred and fifty miles to the left. However, with your speed, it will take almost half a day to come and go, so don't worry about other spirit grasses yet. ”
Although the old man's words hit Ling Yifan a little, he was still excited in his heart, and immediately ran in the direction that the old man had guided.
Ling Yifan rushed out a few zhang in one step, and the ninth order of Qi cultivation made him much faster than before, and his body was also much stronger, and he was still quite satisfied with the current speed.
Ling Yifan ran and stopped for more than an hour, and finally came to the place indicated by the old man.
This is a valley, surrounded by green grass and flowers, "Senior, it's time to get to the place, where is the spirit grass you said?" Ling Yifan couldn't wait to ask.
The old man pointed out the location to Ling Yifan, and according to the instructions, Ling Yifan opened a stone slab under a big tree, and there was a small gap in it, and a purple spirit grass grew on it, and a small lilac flower on it was very beautiful.
Since he was a child, he has practiced medicine with his father, and he has seen a lot of herbs, but he has never seen this kind of purple flower, "Senior, what kind of spirit grass is this, and how does it grow under the stone slab?"
"This spirit grass is called Purple Ghost, it grows in a dark place, it can't see the sun, it is a relatively special spirit grass, and its color is not too far from maturity, you can put it away! This spirit grass is enough for you to exchange for hundreds of spirit stones!" explained the old man inside the bead.
"Hundreds of spirit stones?" Ling Yifan's eyes widened, even his breathing became heavy, and his heart was pounding, this was really getting rich overnight.
Carefully put away the spirit grass, calmed down his excitement a little, and was about to leave, when suddenly a cold figure in the distance came into view.
Looking up, a white dress is better than snow, cold eyebrows, arrogant eyes, like a deep valley orchid, proud plum in the snow, long black as ink, under the breeze, like a frost and snow saint coming to the world, can only be watched from a distance! The cold temperament gives people a feeling of rejecting people thousands of miles away, it is Yun Mengyao.
At the same time, Yun Mengyao also discovered Ling Yifan, and said to herself: "It turns out that he is here, no wonder he has been missing him several times!"
Yun Mengyao's imperial sword slashed a streamer in the air, and in an instant, he came to Ling Yifan's approach, he hadn't seen him for a month, the young man in front of him seemed to have a little more calm and introverted, thinking of the scene back then, his mood was extremely complicated.
Suppressing his thoughts, he slowly spoke: "How is your cultivation, you haven't been here to go to your residence these days, I didn't expect to be here!"
Ling Yifan sighed secretly, subconsciously avoiding Yun Mengyao's gaze, but his heart was even more complicated. Yun Mengyao is not only the first beauty of the Ethereal Sect, but also the first genius of the first day, the proud disciple of the first seat of Tianchi Peak. Such a proud beauty doesn't know why she doesn't care about those who pursue her admiration, but she just stares at him as a waste, and he is often jealous and troublesome.
In the face of such a beauty, Ling Yifan was not unmoved, but there was a difference between the two, which made Ling Yifan not think about it at all.
Ling Yifan retracted his thoughts and said, "I've been outside for the past few days, I don't know what Senior Sister is looking for me?"
"I wanted to give you a few pills, hoping to help your cultivation, but now there are less than five days to test it, and with your qualifications, it's too late to give you the pills now!" Yun Mengyao frowned and said worriedly.
Ling Yifan thanked him: "Thank you Senior Sister for your concern, let it be, you don't have to worry about me!"
Yun Mengyao blamed: "Why are you so negative, although your qualifications are poor, but you can't give up on yourself, I want to see if I can let the sect give you another chance, a grace period of a few days, and then find a way to help you break through the Qi cultivation, at least you will not be expelled from the sect at that time." ”
As she spoke, Yun Mengyao took out a small jade bottle and handed it to Ling Yifan, "There are a few pills in it, you can take it first, forget it if you refuse the first two times, don't shirk it now, after you go back, you should hurry up and cultivate, one point for cultivation to improve is one point, and I will see if I can be accommodating here." ”
Ling Yifan wanted to speak and stopped, he didn't want to accept it, although his qualifications were low before, but a man's natural self-esteem made him unwilling to accept the help of women, especially such a beauty! But now he is no longer the waste he was at the beginning, and it is really not a happy thing to refuse such a big beauty several times, not to mention that it seems that Yun Mengyao can't refuse herself, just accept it.
Seeing Ling Yifan put away the pill, Yun Mengyao's face softened slightly, "By the way, do you want to continue to stay here?" Yun Mengyao asked.
Ling Yifan said: "No, there is nothing to gain by staying here!"
"Then I'll take you out, when can I get out at your speed. As he spoke, he didn't care whether Ling Yifan agreed or not, he directly dragged him behind him.
Ling Yifan had a feeling of being forced, and he was forced by such a big beauty, he couldn't tell what it was like in his heart! Looking at Ling Yifan's aggrieved appearance, Yun Mengyao sneered in his heart, "This guy picked up a bargain and sold it!"
Ling Yifan was extremely happy in his heart, but on the surface, he pretended to be aggrieved, if this under-bian appearance was seen by Yun Mengyao's admirers, he would have to be dismantled.
Ignoring Ling Yifan behind him, a sword trick came out of Yun Mengyao's feet, directly holding the two up, and flying towards the exit with a "whoosh", Ling Yifan subconsciously hugged Yun Mengyao under nervousness, Yun Mengyao's sword trick shook under his feet, and immediately returned to normal, and the corner of his eyes swept Ling Yifan, who grabbed him in a panic behind him, pretending not to know.
Ling Yifan looked at the scene that quickly passed behind him, wisps of fragrance came from his nose, and he was unconsciously fascinated for a while, but the hand holding Yun Mengyao was a little tighter!
Not far from the exit, a few disciples who had just come in happened to see the two of them, and whispered for a while, and one of them was even more full of fire, this Yun Mengyao usually didn't even have a chance to talk, and that waste not only often walked with Yun Mengyao, but now... is actually holding the goddess in their minds, if it is a jade tree with Yun Mengyao, it would be fine, but it is that waste, this person can't wait to cut off Ling Yifan's hands immediately.
This person is Li Xiujie, watching the two of them walk out of the secret realm, they don't have the heart to continue to stay here, "Hmph, you are good-looking, then Feng Siyuan is Yun Mengyao's loyal admirer, if you let him know, he will definitely pick your skin." The thought of this person made him happy.
After leaving the secret realm and separating from Yun Mengyao, ignoring the envy, jealousy and hatred of those bystanders, Ling Yifan returned to his residence all the way.
With the elixir given by Yun Mengyao, he was not in a hurry to exchange it with the spirit grass at the moment, the top priority was to break through the Qi cultivation first, and hurriedly took out the small jade bottle and poured out a green pill.
"Well, the second-grade Gathering Spirit Pill, that little girl is quite generous, your kid is very popular! This pill is enough for you to break through. The old man teased.
Ling Yifan glanced at the old man helplessly, he didn't have time to think about it, swallowed the pill, and hurriedly entered the cultivation state...
In the residence of a core disciple of the Ethereal Sect, a figure rose up, his face was full of anger, and a person next to him said, "Senior Brother Feng, do you want to find someone to teach him a lesson?"
The person who was called Senior Brother Feng was none other than Feng Siyuan, the second day of the sect, second only to Yun Mengyao in talent, and the most powerful of the many suitors.
Feng Siyuan gradually calmed down, and said coldly: "Don't do it first, it's not good to do too much in the sect, and there are less than five days before the sect assessment, with his waste vein qualifications, he will definitely not be able to pass the assessment, and he will be expelled from the sect, and I will clean him up then." As he spoke, a cold glint flashed in his eyes.
"It's okay, let's go. With a flick of his fingers, a pill flew towards Li Xiujie, raised his hand to take it, Li Xiujie happily put away the pill, and said secretly in his heart: "This Feng Siyuan is really generous, I just passed on the news that it is a three-grade purple elixir!"
Ling Yifan, who was cultivating, didn't know that he had been targeted, at this time, Ling Yifan was immersed in the critical moment of breakthrough in cultivation, and the medicinal power in his body flowed through the meridians under the tempering of the "Five Elements Returning to the Yuan Jue", slowly converging in the dantian, strengthening the spiritual power in the dantian.
Every time the "Five Elements Return to the Yuan Decision" was run, there would be a heart-piercing pain in the meridians, Ling Yifan clenched his teeth, tried to persevere, and three days passed in the blink of an eye. The medicinal power in his body was releasing its last energy, Ling Yifan's body greedily absorbed the medicinal power, bursts of pain eroding his will, and when the last trace of the medicinal power of the Gathering Spirit Pill was absorbed, it finally broke through at the last moment.
The aura in his body finally transformed into true qi and entered the realm of condensation, and condensing initially possessed divine consciousness.
At this moment, he felt that the whole world was different, and the moment he broke through, his divine sense suddenly became sharper. What used to take the eyes to see, now he can feel it through his sense, within a radius of one mile, the sound of running water that he usually can't hear, the sound of grass being blown by the wind, and butterflies dancing on the flowers, all of which can be clearly felt.
Ling Yifan slowly opened his eyes, his tired eyes revealing what unimaginable pain he had just experienced!
Seeing Ling Yifan wake up, the old man came out of the bead and appeared in front of Ling Yifan, the illusory figure stroked his beard and nodded with satisfaction, "Yes, you can recognize the Lord Bead now, this bead can only recognize the Lord if you have cultivated the "Five Elements Returning to the Yuan Jue" to condense your mind and have divine sense, you only need to imprint your divine consciousness in the bead." ”
According to the old man's instructions, Ling Yifan took out a piece of divine consciousness and imprinted it on the bead, and the moment his divine consciousness entered the bead, the surface of the bead shattered with a "bang".
Inside, a bead with a faint halo of color appeared in front of him, and it turned out that the outside was just a layer of cover, and the inside was the main one.
Just when Ling Yifan was suddenly stunned, he saw that the bead "whoosh" disappeared into his body and appeared in his mind.
Ling Yifan was stunned for a while, and then there was an additional piece of information in his mind, the secret method - "Different Paths to the Same End". For the current change, the old man seemed to have expected it, and he was not surprised, but quietly looked at Ling Yifan, whose eyes were closed, and after a while, he said slowly: "How do you feel, it's very unexpected!"
Ling Yifan opened his eyes a little stunned, "Senior, what's going on, why did it suddenly run into my body?"
The old man stroked his beard with a smile and said, "The origin of this bead is mysterious, and even I only know a little bit about the mysteries of it. However, it will not do you any harm, or even your real hope of becoming a strong person, as for the benefits and secrets of it, you can only slowly experience and understand it later. In addition, that secret method is also rare in the world, even I have never heard of it, presumably it can only be performed by relying on that mysterious orb, you can refer to it slowly!"
After speaking, the illusory figure of the old man disappeared in front of Ling Yifan in a flash, but this time it disappeared in Ling Yifan's mind, to be exact, the bead in his mind.
"I just got used to having such an old man around me, but suddenly ran into my body again, it seems that I have to adapt to it for a few more days!" Ling Yifan smiled bitterly, quite unaccustomed, and felt unnatural when he thought of the inexplicable extra person and thing in his body.
Ling Yifan put away his mind and began to study the secret method obtained from the bead, the special feature of this secret method is that it can actually make the spiritual power in the body pass through two different attributes in the guò meridians at the same time.
You must know that the reason why this qualification is superior and inferior is because this spiritual power cannot be used at the same time to exert more than two attributes in the guò meridians.
A person's meridians are fixed, and the fewer and more single attributes contained in the meridians, the more certain attributes they contain, and the greater the power of the spiritual power will be exerted.
For example, with the same cultivation of a single attribute qualification and two attribute qualifications, the spiritual power of a person with a single attribute can be 100% exerted through the guò meridians. If the content of the attribute elements in the meridians is divided into ten parts, the ratio of the content of the two attributes may be one to nine, two to eight, three to seven...
Therefore, no matter what kind of attribute is cast, it is worse than the qualification of a single attribute, and the same cultivation is the same secret for cultivation, and the power of this exertion is naturally self-evident, not to mention the qualifications of more than three attributes, the more attributes it contains, the less the proportion of each containment will be, and the weaker the power of exerting spiritual power.
Ling Yifan was still confused about his qualifications, although the "Five Elements Returning to the Yuan Technique" had magically improved his cultivation speed, but his meridian qualifications were also a big problem. At the moment, the secret method "Different Paths to the Same End", which was suddenly obtained, gave Ling Yifan an unexpected surprise.
And what surprises the mysterious orb in his mind will bring in the future, Ling Yifan is looking forward to it with fire in his heart.
Suddenly, as if he remembered something, Ling Yifan turned over his hand and took out a ring, which was the space ring that he had searched from the person who was chasing him. This thing can only be used if you have a divine sense after concentrating, Ling Yifan's divine sense excitedly entered the space ring, it was empty, there was nothing else except a few spirit stones, and in the middle of a few spirit stones was a small gray sign, which was nothing special except for a small 'dark' word engraved on it, Ling Yifan glanced at it and retreated with a depressed expression.
"I thought I could get some benefits, but I didn't expect that guy to be so poor!" Ling Yifan said depressedly. Retracted his thoughts, calculated the time, the day after tomorrow is the assessment period, and now that he has broken through the cultivation of qi, he has finally let go of a big stone in his heart.
