Chapter 338: Encounter at Qingtan
After Xu Yang learned about the situation with the fishermen who were rescued and returned to Yuanbei Town, he learned an important piece of information.
The fishermen said that they encountered a huge sea monster on the way to the waters of Dolphin Island. It happened to be foggy on the sea at that time, and the sea monster set off huge waves, making it impossible for their ships to get close. Therefore, they did not have an accurate description of the sea monster's appearance. What remained in their memory was only its size and terror.
Perhaps it was the emergence of this sea monster that led to the sharp decline in fishery resources along the East China Sea. Xu Yang's current mission is to find the sea monster that the fishermen call him and eliminate it, restore fishery resources and the supply of spiritual materials from the East China Sea, and stabilize the livelihood of the people in Yuanbei Town.
...
After separating from Xu Yang.
Liu Haiyu, dressed in blue, walked alone on the waves with his sword. Most of a day later, he returned to Dolphin Island. Because of the shark face incident before, Liu Haiyu was very disgusted with the shark tooth tribe in his heart. At this time, he was about to break through to the Soul Realm, and he didn't want to let these negative emotions affect his Taoist mind.
Staying away from the trouble, he decided to go to the other side of Dolphin Island to find his own cultivation opportunities.
Liu Haiyu was born with a constitution of pure Yang water. He has the highest level of ten water-attribute spiritual veins that are enviable by others. He is one of the genius disciples in Zhenlian Dojo, the number one Taoist school in Zhongyuan Continent, and he is also the previous Zhenlian. A close disciple of "Qing Guzi", the leader of Lian Dojo.
With a pure Yang water constitution, he has had smooth sailing on the road to cultivation. Not long ago, there were faint signs of his cultivation reaching the Soul Realm.
For ordinary cultivators, the Yuanhun realm is extremely difficult to achieve in a lifetime. In Zhongyuan Continent, most of the monks who have reached the Yuanhun realm are the top combatants in various sects.
For those very few monks who have the ability to pursue a higher realm of cultivation, the Soul Realm is also a very important level.
Cultivation is divided into two major stages.
One is the primary stage. It is divided into the realm of entering the spirit, the realm of transforming into reality, the realm of cultivating the essence, the realm of the true elixir, and the realm of the soul.
The second is the advanced stage. It is divided into Daoming Realm, Heavenly Tribulation Realm, Virtual Immortal Realm and Shenyan Realm.
The last step is to shatter the void, ascend to the upper realm, and achieve the body of a true immortal.
As the last level of cultivation in the primary stage, Yuanhun Realm has its role as a link between the previous and the following. Whether the foundation in the Soul Realm is deep or not determines to a certain extent whether the cultivator can break through to the advanced stage and achieve future achievements. Therefore, cultivators will be fully prepared and cautious when breaking through the Soul Realm.
For Liu Haiyu at this time, it may not be difficult to break through to the Yuanhun realm. But in order to achieve a perfect foundation of the soul, the power of the Yin pole water spirit needs to be reconciled with its own pure Yang body. Under the guidance of his master, he came to the coast of the East China Sea alone to look for opportunities, that is, to find a place where pure Yin is abundant in water spirit, which would help him achieve a perfect breakthrough to the Soul Realm.
Eastern part of Dolphin Island.
Green mountains stretch across the land.
There is a unique scenery in the mountains. A wide silver belt hangs from the peak, hangs down for nine days, and returns to the deep pool on the ground, making a sound like thunder. Countless tiny water droplets in the surrounding void are like smoke and mist, really like the Taoist realm.
At this time, Liu Haiyu, dressed in blue, was standing quietly in front of the waterfall with his hands folded.
The rapidly falling white water stirred up waves of cool wind, like invisible hands playing with his hair and skirt, and gently stirring up his Taoist heart. His eyes were slightly closed, his mind as open as a valley, as if he was integrated with the surrounding environment, and his Taoist mind was stable.
As you breathe, the water-spirited air enters the body, its coolness refreshes the soul, and its moisturizing nourishes all the meridians.
After a while, Liu Haiyu opened his bright eyes and whispered: "The power of the negative water spirit contained in this waterfall is really useful. Tracing its origin may be the opportunity for my trip."
With his judgment in mind, he did not stop and found a mountain road to go up, following the origin of the waterfall to find the source of the water.
As night fell, the silver moon in the sky was much fuller than a few days ago. It looked like a shy daughter's face, fair and gentle, holy and beautiful, and not to be played with.
Under the moonlight, Liu Haiyu walks forward alone.
In front of you, a meandering stream makes sparkling waves under the moonlight, like an alluring silver ribbon floating in a large area of primeval forest, giving people the desire to explore.
"After walking for a long time, the negative spiritual energy in the stream is getting purer and purer. It must be almost at the source."
Thinking of this, Liu Haiyu moved forward even more briskly.
"Huh?"
At this moment, Liu Haiyu stopped and let out a light sigh. He seemed to have discovered something. He spread out his consciousness to quietly explore and confirmed that there was a wave of spiritual energy coming from other cultivators in front of him.
"Is this? Did someone get there first? You'll know if you go and take a look."
Thinking of this, Liu Haiyu took out the magic formula with one hand, the blue light flashed on his fingertips, and then he touched it between his eyebrows. In an instant, his entire external aura and spiritual power fluctuations were completely hidden.
Along the bank of the stream, he quietly passed through a large old forest, and a clear pool appeared in front of him.
The clear pool is several acres in size, and a spring gushes out from the center of the pool.
"right here."
Liu Haiyu secretly gathered his magic power in his eyes, and the scene in front of him suddenly became much clearer.
"This?" Liu Haiyu was shocked. He even heard his own heart beating loudly. Since he entered the Taoist sect, he has never been as panicked as he is today.
He saw a person, a naked woman with a beautiful back and her lower body in the water.
The woman's back was facing Liu Haiyu's line of sight.
The woman's long black hair was pinned on top of her head with an exquisite red coral hairpin, like a touch of red in the clouds. The crystal moonlight outlined the lines of the woman's shoulders and back, which were either light or soothing, like a fairy in a painting. The woman's back was naturally reflected in the pool of water below her, with light and shadows. It was also reflected in the eyes of the viewer, stirring the heart.
In the way of cultivation, Liu Haiyu relied on his peerless talent and the status of the former master of the Zhenlian Taoist Temple to read Taoist classics and read the ancient and modern. But in matters between men and women, he was like a blank sheet of paper. At this moment, under the moonlight, the graceful back of the woman in the clear pool was clearly painted on the blank sheet of paper in his heart.
The Taoist cultivates his mind, and what he cultivates is a heart that seeks truth, and even more a pure heart.
At this time, Liu Haiyu only felt that his whole body was hot, and the magic power in his meridians was constantly used, like a bull running wildly.
"The Tao follows nature, the heart of Tao is like a valley, the will of Tao is like water..." In a panic, Liu Haiyu whispered the Taoist Guangtong Heart Method to suppress his boiling mood and disordered meridians, but forgot to close his eyes and look.
At this time, he believed in and practiced the Taoist Heart Method for more than 20 years, but he could not withstand the impact of the scene in front of him. He was so anxious that he was sweating profusely, and the tone of the spell in his mouth unconsciously became much higher. And the method he used to hide his spiritual power fluctuations had long been completely washed away by this sudden emotional flood.
The woman in the clear pond was using the spiritual power of the water in the pond to practice her body. As the sound Liu Haiyu accidentally made reached the woman's ears. The woman hurriedly stopped her practice and exclaimed: "Who is it? Who is there?"
As she said, the woman did not turn her head back, and pointed one hand at a bluestone on the shore where she temporarily placed her clothes. A snow-white shark silk gauze dress flew into the woman's hands like a white crane with wings spread, and was draped over her body. "
The woman quickly stood up from the shallow pool, the water line only reached her white calves. The splashing water made the pool water messy.
"No matter who you are, what happened today, just pretend you didn't see anything." The woman said sternly with her back turned.
After that, the woman raised her wrist, and a fish-shaped sword appeared in her hand.
The woman did not turn around, and threw the fish-shaped sword in her hand upward.
On the fish-shaped sword, dots of silver light flickered continuously, making a "hum" sound.
Then, a sharp sword energy slashed out and chopped directly on a huge stubborn stone not far from Liu Haiyu.
"Bang".
The tall stubborn stone was split in half from the middle and collapsed.
"Maybe you didn't mean it, but if what happened today is publicized, the stubborn stone will be your fate. "
At this time, Liu Haiyu had just suppressed her disordered meridians and said with a stammer: "Girl, listen to my explanation. "
Looking at the woman again, she had already jumped away, leaving only a faint girl's body fragrance in the moonlight.
Liu Haiyu emerged from the darkness, muttering to himself, Liu Haiyu, Daoxin, where is your Daoxin?
After that, he turned his head to look at the stubborn stone that had just been smashed by the woman's sword, and couldn't help but feel a lingering fear. The woman clearly found where he was hiding. If this sword was slashed at him, with his meridians disordered and Daoxin unstable at the time, it would be difficult to dodge, and he would most likely be seriously injured.
"It seems that this woman also has good intentions and will not kill innocent people indiscriminately."
Liu Haiyu took a few steps forward, and he found a touch of flowing red in the moonlight. It was a delicate and small red coral hairpin.
He bent down and picked it up in his hand. He saw that there were three small words clearly engraved on the hairpin, "Yun Qiaoer."
"Could it be Yun Qiaoer, who took the lead in rescuing the fishermen in the island water prison a few days ago, and Yun Qiaoer, the saint of the Pig Spirit Clan? "Thinking in his heart, Liu Haiyu carefully put away the hairpin.
He turned his head and looked at the spring in the pool again.
Streams of spring water containing extremely yin power kept gushing out. For Liu Haiyu, it was a treasure and a chance to help him break through his cultivation.
"It is indeed a place where pure yin spiritual springs are located. If you choose to break through your cultivation here, it is really an excellent chance, and you will definitely get twice the result with half the effort. "
Thinking so in his heart, Liu Haiyu had no intention of staying here to practice.
At this time, he had an extra knot in his heart.
If he practiced here, it would be tantamount to blasphemy against the girl "Yun Qiaoer". Breaking through the realm cannot be forced, and this impure fate is better off not having it. It is better to find the girl "Yun Qiaoer" first, return the hairpin she left behind, explain the matter clearly, and ask for her forgiveness.
Thinking of this, Liu Haiyu raised his head and left, wearing a blue dress like water under the pure moonlight.
At this time, Liu Haiyu himself did not know whether his Dao heart was not enough for practice or his mortal heart was awakened. Perhaps only seeing Yun Qiaoer would give him the answer.
