Chapter 2: The Mysterious Old Man (Asking for Recommendation Votes)
Ling Yifan ran back to his residence in a panic, locked the door, and sat on the bed, his heart was still pounding wildly. On this day, he was first humiliated, and then almost lost his life inexplicably.
"I really didn't look at the yellow calendar when I went out, and the waste vein qualification has made people depressed, and this unfortunate thing has come one after another as if it had been discussed, I really don't know which god I offended, and I want to punish myself like this. Ling Yifan complained in his heart, and he was frustrated.
Suddenly remembering something, he hurriedly took off the bead pendant around his neck, and looked at the ordinary pendant in his palm, and the milky white bead the size of his thumb was worn with a red thread. No matter how you look at it, there is nothing surprising, and if you hadn't experienced that scene yourself, you wouldn't believe that this seemingly ordinary orb actually hides a secret.
Ling Yifan, like all the lucky ones who got the adventure and hit the big luck, began to study this treasure.
First, he injected his faint and almost negligible trace of spiritual power into the bead with difficulty, and the tired sweaty bead did not change at all.
Suddenly, he took a dagger and lightly cut his fingers, "It is said that these special treasures can be dripping blood to recognize the lord or something, see if it works!" Ling Yifan muttered, dripping the blood beads oozing from the wound of his fingers into the beads, while staring nervously with wide eyes.
"Tick!" the blood beads fell on the beads and ran down the surface of the beads.
"Hmm, no change!" Ling Yifan tossed and turned, and Yuanzhu was stunned and didn't react at all.
Just when Ling Yifan was helpless, an old voice suddenly appeared in his mind, "I can help you change your qualifications and improve your cultivation, are you willing!"
Ling Yifan stood up suddenly, his eyes as sharp as an eagle scanned the room, there was no half figure except for himself, and he suddenly felt a cool breeze behind him.
"Who's talking, don't pretend to be a ghost!" Ling Yifan said with a hard hold back of horror in his heart.
On this day, there were one after another unlucky and strange things, and Ling Yifan even doubted that he had really offended a god in the dark.
Just as he was in shock, Ling Yifan's pupils suddenly shrank, staring at a translucent old figure above the orb, and took a step back with a pale face, but he didn't shout.
"Well, the concentration is okay, I'm not intimidated, I have no ill will towards you, and I saved you during the day!"
Ling Yifan froze and swallowed his saliva fiercely, and was terrified for a while when he thought that in the beads he wore every day, such an unbelievable storage was inhabited.
"Who are you, why are you in my orb, what is your purpose?" Ling Yifan, who gradually calmed down, asked a series of key questions.
The illusory old man nodded with satisfaction, "The mind is good, and the concentration is okay, but the qualifications are a little worse." You don't care who I am, if I wanted to hurt you, I would have done it a long time ago, and I still need to talk nonsense with you little doll?"
I was wondering if he had ulterior motives for him, but I didn't expect this old guy to seem to see his own thoughts.
Ling Yifan's expression slowed down, and although he felt reasonable after thinking about it, he didn't completely let go of the vigilance in his heart.
Seeing that Ling Yifan's expression eased slightly, the old man continued: "You also know the defects of your qualifications, no one in the world can change the qualifications of the waste veins, and I can help you make up for this defect and make you a respected powerhouse." ”
Ling Yifan's heart moved, and his expression eased a little, his waste pulse qualification could not be changed, he actually said that he could make up for this defect!
But there is no such thing as a free lunch, and it is not wise to accept the favor of a mysterious person for no reason. So, Ling Yifan still insisted, "You haven't answered my question yet, how can I trust you?"
Seeing that Ling Yifan was so cautious, the old man nodded approvingly, pondered for a moment, and said, "You can call me an empty senior, my soul has been sleeping in the bead for nearly a thousand years, and it only woke up three years ago." I have observed you for three years, and you were lucky enough to pass my expedition. As for the rest, you don't need to know yet, and I'll tell you then. ”
Ling Yifan nodded ignorantly, suddenly remembered something, and asked, "By the way, why did that mysterious person kill me during the day?"
The old man's heart moved, which was another important reason why he chose Ling Yifan to help him cultivate. The reason why the mysterious man wanted to kill Ling Yifan The old man had a faint guess in his heart, but this matter involved some secrets in the mainland, and it was not the time for him to know.
Then he opened his mouth and said vaguely: "This cultivation realm is full of crises, it is unreasonable to kill people, I am strong, I see that you are unhappy, I want your life." Therefore, this kind of murder is normal, without the strength, Huang Quan may die at any time, and he doesn't even know how he died, the strength of the cultivation realm is respected!"
The old man's words were not alarmist, after listening to the old man's words, Ling Yifan was silent, and sighed secretly in his heart: "Yes, the strength of the cultivation realm is respected, and if you don't have the strength, you will be slaughtered by others, and your life will be like an ant." Besides, this old guy has been awake for three years, and if it is not good for me, I am afraid that he will not wait until now, since he has the opportunity to get rid of the name of waste and become a strong man, I will promise him first!"
Then he said, "You say, what do you want?" Ling Yifan didn't believe that he would help him for no reason.
The old man said: "Although I have a request for you, I will not embarrass you, your current strength is not qualified to know, I hope you can grow up as much as possible!"
"Hmph, it's really not that simple, and he said that he didn't embarrass me, he didn't even have the qualifications to know, and it was not easy to make a decision, but he couldn't take care of it so much at the moment!" Thinking of this, Ling Yifan gritted his teeth, "Deal!"
The old man wiped his snow-white beard and smiled with satisfaction, as if he knew that Ling Yifan would agree. Then he spoke: "No exercise in the world can change a person's qualifications, even some heavenly treasures have very little change in qualifications, so a person's qualifications directly determine a person's cultivation future." ”
Ling Yifan was stunned in his heart, and said secretly: "This old guy won't be playing tricks on himself!"
Immediately afterwards, the old man made a fool of himself and said, "But I have a special exercise that can help you improve your cultivation and change your qualifications." But there are also shortcomings, that is, you have to endure some pain when you practice this exercise, and this exercise is too rebellious to the heavens and no one has ever practiced it, and it will even bring you unknown dangers, are you willing to cultivate?"
Ling Yifan said secretly: "Compared with being humiliated with dignity and life and death, what is it to suffer some pain and danger!"
Nodding heavily at the old man, "I am willing, as long as I can become a strong man, I can bear any pain, and I am not afraid of any danger!"
The old man nodded appreciatively, waved his hand, Ling Yifan only felt that his head was swollen, and an obscure mantra appeared in his mind, "Five Elements Returning to the Origin"...
"The benefits of this exercise will be realized by you when you cultivate, and you can only cultivate with the qualification of the waste vein. In addition, this bead is also infinitely mysterious, without the help of this bead, you will not be able to break through the mortal only by relying on the "Five Elements Returning to the Yuan Jue". The two complement each other and are indispensable, but the effect of the bead requires you to break through the Qi to appreciate its benefits. The old man said.
Ling Yifan was overjoyed in his heart, and he couldn't wait to cultivate according to the information of the "Five Elements Returning to the Yuan Jue" in his mind, the old man smiled helplessly, this kid seemed to be cultivating for a while, a gray light shrouded Ling Yifan, and then the old man's figure gradually merged into the bead.
Ling Yifan, who had just entered the state of cultivation, immediately felt the difference in this exercise.
When he was cultivating in the past, because the attributes in his meridians were mixed, the aura was as difficult and slow as sailing against the current when it passed through the meridians, and this "Five Elements Returning to the Origin Technique" magically made the aura in his body several times faster than before, and Ling Yifan couldn't help but feel ecstatic in his heart.
But as the cultivation time became longer, he discovered the shortcomings that the old man said, the mixed attributes in the meridians became restless under the rapid operation of the aura, and Ling Yifan only felt a burst of swelling pain in the meridians.
One night's cultivation actually allowed him to break through the first order of qi cultivation and enter the second order. I didn't even dare to think about this before, even a genius with the best qualifications couldn't be so fast, this night I was upgraded to a level, there is still more than a month before the test, I am afraid it is not too difficult to break through the Qi training!
Next, Ling Yifan was not enough to close the door, and he forgot to sleep and eat to cultivate this "Five Elements Returning to the Yuan Jue", and with the improvement of cultivation, the swelling pain in the meridians became more and more intense. But Ling Yifan gritted his teeth and persevered, every time his cultivation ended, the clothes on his body would be soaked with sweat, and in this endless pain, Ling Yifan's cultivation also improved by leaps and bounds.
On this day, after waking up from the painful cultivation state, a trace of profound light flashed in Ling Yifan's eyes, and there were still five days left before the sect entrance test.
With the help of the "Five Elements Returning to the Yuan Decision", Xiu Wei had already miraculously entered the ninth order of qi training, but no matter how hard he tried, he still stayed at the ninth order and showed no signs of breakthrough.
Just when Ling Yifan was bored, he suddenly remembered the mysterious old man in the bead, and slapped his thigh, "It's so stupid, I'm so confused about my practice, I actually forgot about him!"
"Empty senior..."Ling Yifan shouted to Yuanzhu.
The old man came out of the bead, stood in front of Ling Yifan in the void, and teased: "I thought you had forgotten me long ago when you got the "Five Elements Returning to the Yuan Decision", how can you think of me now!"
Ling Yifan smiled awkwardly, he was a little excited when he first got the "Five Elements Returning to the Yuan Formula", and he only cared about studying the exercises, but he left the old man in front of him aside.
Scratching his head, he said embarrassedly: "I'm also excited..."
The old man interrupted Ling Yifan with a smile, "Hehe, it's okay!
Ling Yifan hurriedly spoke: "I can't break through to the ninth order of Qi cultivation, but I will test it in five days, what should I do?"
The old man nodded and smiled: "Your will is very strong, and the pain you endure every time you cultivate has almost reached the limit, however, your qualifications are too poor, and the meridians in your body are too complicated, if you want to break through Qi refining, you have to rely on the impetus of the pill." ”
Ling Yifan suddenly felt a burst of frustration, how easy it was to talk about pills, even the lowest level of cultivation pills required ten spirit stones, and the sect had only given himself five spirit stones in the past six months.
Ling Yifan sighed lowly: "Where did I get so many spirit stones to buy pills from a sect?"
Seeing Ling Yifan's sad face, the old man in the void reminded: "Isn't there a place of trials in the sect, you can go there and try your luck, and picking an ordinary spirit grass will be enough for you to break through the cultivation of qi." ”
Ling Yifan said embarrassedly: "The first few times I went to that secret realm, I have wasted a lot of spirit stones, but I haven't gained anything, and now I only have one spirit stone left, I don't want to waste it in vain." ”
The old man looked at Ling Yifan with a smile, "Of course you didn't gain anything by yourself before, but now I can still let you run for nothing?"
Ling Yifan's spirit was shocked, and he said secretly: "This old guy, if you don't show up earlier, you will waste several spirit stones in vain, and you will be ridiculed." But he said respectfully: "Senior, when are we going?"
Looking at the great contrast between Ling Yifan and before and after, the old man was helpless for a while, "You prepare first, and then go tomorrow." By the way, in the past few days of your cultivation, in order not to be disturbed, I have hidden your breath, and other people's divine consciousness cannot discover you. During this time, the little girl named Yun Mengyao came to you several times, thinking that you were not there and left disappointed every time. ”
Hearing Yun Mengyao, Ling Yifan's heart moved, and a beautiful shadow suddenly appeared in his mind, Yun Mengyao was the first beauty of the Ethereal Sect, and she was usually cold to other male disciples. For some reason, they met by chance at the exit of the secret realm three months ago, and since then they have taken good care of themselves, Ling Yifan was very puzzled, and he caused a lot of trouble for himself.
Leave aside the doubts in your heart, and prepare the application things to go to the secret realm...
