Chapter 42 Five Elements Flame Art
After returning to the Heavenly Ghost Sect, Xu Yang and Lin'er were called to the Law Enforcement Hall for questioning. Xu Yang and Lin'er answered all the questions one by one, except for hiding the fact that they met Guigu Yeyan. The next day, Lin'er returned to her own Tianxiangzhai, and Xu Yang returned to the Wood Spirit Courtyard to report.
The day after returning to his residence, Tu Sanli and Nangong Chongshan came to visit Xu Yang one after another. With the care from his two friends, Xu Yang felt warm in his heart.
The incident in the Ghost Howl Land became a topic of discussion among the disciples of the Heavenly Ghost Sect. Because they were the only two disciples who entered the Ghost Howl Land and safely passed the Lifeng period and returned in the past hundred years. Even the original culprit of this incident, the intruder "Yaksha Moyu", was increasingly outrageous by people. Some people said that the intruder was a spy sent by an outside sect, and some said that it was a resurrected soul in the tomb of the Heavenly Ghost Sect...
After a few days, the sect leader Yu Cheng issued a gag order. No speculation is allowed about all the people and things involved in this incident, and no rumors are spread. Those who violate the order will be dealt with according to the sect law. This incident gradually faded out of people's sight.
On the first day back at the Wood Spirit Academy, Xu Yang hurriedly reported the situation of the Ghost Howl Land to Xiao Yue'e, the head of the Wood Spirit Academy, and handed over the share of the spiritual herbs he had obtained in the Ghost Howl Land that should be handed over to the sect. Xu Yang exchanged all the remaining spiritual herbs for spiritual stones in the sect, a total of 800 medium-grade spiritual stones. Xu Yang gave the materials of the Black Wind Peacock to Zhu Liuqing, and sold the materials of the Black Wind Peacock, and Zhu Liuqing's debt was almost paid off. The spiritual stones owed to Xu Yang were also paid back to Xu Yang.
With these spiritual stones, Xu Yang went to the sect market to buy some talismans and elixirs, and also bought some dried spiritual bird meat for "Peaches".
Regarding spiritual stones, Xu Yang sighed in his heart: "Both the world of cultivation and the secular world need money, and I must master a skill to earn spiritual stones."
In Xu Yang's hut.
Xu Yang just received a letter sent by Lin'er.
Opening the letter, a few lines of handsome and dignified small words jumped out of the paper. At the beginning of the letter was a short poem written by Lin'er herself, "Mulanxiang. Jiazi Yimeng": A taste of wine, dreaming of the spring water town in the south of the Yangtze River. Four seasons humming, laughter and singing of lovers. Drinking in the pavilion, the past of Jiazi is not finished. White hair like clouds, but it is the first acquaintance of the young heart.
Seeing this, Xu Yang's heart was throbbing, and he couldn't help but recall the things between him and Lin'er in the ghost howling land.
At the end of the letter, it was written to thank Xu Yang for saving him in the nightmare beast dream.
"So Lin'er remembered what happened in the nightmare beast dream!"
Read it carefully several times, and then carefully put the letter away. Although Lin'er did not express her love to Xu Yang directly, Lin'er has become Xu Yang's first love in his heart. The hazy but unstoppable, life is like the first sight.
The next morning, Xu Yang, who had rested enough, decided to practice the "Five Elements Flame Art" taught by his master.
He took out the jade slips recording the Five Elements Flame Art, studied it carefully, and remembered all the Five Elements Flame Art in his heart in half a day.
When Xu Yang first saw the Five Elements Flame Art, he was overjoyed. This Five Elements Flame Art can be said to be the best among the fire-attributed arts. If it can be perfected, its power is so great that it can shake the world. The trip to the Ghost Howl Land made Xu Yang deeply feel the lack of his low combat power. As long as he practices this Five Elements Flame Art well, Xu Yang believes that his combat power will definitely increase significantly.
Seeing the back, Xu Yang couldn't help but frown. The prerequisite for practicing this art is to first refine the five kinds of innate spiritual flames of gold, wood, water, fire and earth. Wood produces fire, fire produces earth, earth produces gold, gold produces water, water produces wood, and the endless life is the domineering part of this art.
Where to find the innate spiritual flame? Xu Yang thought about it. Guigu Yeyan once gave him a jade box when he left, asking him to open it when he first practiced the Five Elements Flame Art.
Xu Yang took out the jade box from his arms.
After opening it carefully, a transparent crystal ball was quietly placed in the jade box, and the surface of the crystal ball emitted a yellow earthy halo.
Looking closely, there was a ghost baby in the crystal ball, about an inch in size, with a pair of bat-like wings and two small horns like goat horns. It closed its eyes tightly and looked like it was sleeping. Its body was not naked, but a ball of flame spirit. A trace of earthy golden flames slowly spread out from its body.
Suddenly, the crystal ball shone brightly. A ray of earthy light and shadow jumped out of the crystal ball and shot straight towards Xu Yang's eyes.
Xu Yang was startled and closed his eyes subconsciously. The strange thing was that the earthy light and shadow only paused on Xu Yang's eyelids, and then disappeared into his eyes through his eyelids.
Looking at the crystal ball in the box again, the ghost baby flame spirit inside was still sleeping. There was also a letter under the crystal ball, and a few words were simply written on the cover of the letter, Xu Yang received.
Xu Yang took out the letter from the jade box.
"Xu Yang, as you can see. This jade box contains the unique wheel flame spirit of the Netherworld. This flame spirit is the beginning of helping you practice the Five Elements Flame Art. You may be confused. I am the eldest disciple of the founder of the Heavenly Ghost Sect. Why would I accept you, a young man with low qualifications, as my disciple and personally teach you the Five Elements Flame Art.
The founder of the Heavenly Ghost Sect, that is, my master, ascended to the immortal world and asked me to stay in the Ghost Howl Land of the Heavenly Ghost Sect. One of the tasks is to protect the wheel holy fire in the Ghost Howl Land and the passageway to the Netherworld. This wheel holy fire was originally taken by my master from the Netherworld. This fire is naturally restrained by ghosts. Its function is to prevent ghosts from the Netherworld from passing through the passage and entering the Zhongyuan Realm where we are.
The first time I saw you, I sensed that there was a small beast in your spirit pet bag. Its breath showed that this beast should come from the netherworld. This beast was probably lucky enough to pass through the passage to the ghost howling land a few years ago, and then ran to the Heavenly Ghost Sect. It was lucky enough to pass through the obstruction of the holy fire of the wheel. Its original strength was at least at the level of the king of ghost spirits.
It was just that after being burned by the wheel flame, although it escaped by luck, it had degenerated to its most primitive state. If I guess correctly, the name of this beast should be "Nine Nether Golden Sable." "Nine Nether Golden Sable" was originally one of the king-level true spirits that the netherworld cherished. It was good at thunder magic and could break the formation. This beast is hard to come by. Treat it well. It will definitely become a great help in your cultivation.
Since you are lucky enough to get this beast, it means that there is still some fate between you and the holy fire of the wheel. Because the flame spirit parasitism technique of the holy fire of the wheel needs the essence and blood of the king-level true spirit from the netherworld as a medicine.
About the holy fire of the wheel. Once this holy fire is extinguished, even if the passage is closed in time, it will take some time. During this period, it is inevitable that a large number of ghosts from the Netherworld will take the opportunity to invade the Zhongyuan Realm, which will bring great disasters to the Zhongyuan Realm. Moreover, once the passage is closed, the source of the Netherworld spiritual power, which is the source of the Tiangui Sect's power, will no longer exist, which is a devastating blow to the Tiangui Sect.
The main task of this old man's clone staying in the Ghost Howl Land is to protect the Holy Flame of the Wheel from being extinguished until other successor guardians are found.
Every thousand years, a flame spirit can be born in the Holy Flame of the Wheel. There is such a Flame Spirit in my body. Once the Holy Flame of the Wheel in the passage is extinguished, it can be re-ignited through this flame spirit.
Just a few months ago, a new flame spirit was born from the Holy Flame of the Wheel.
A few days ago, you happened to come here by accident. I see that you have a good character and happen to have a fire attribute spiritual vein. What's more coincidental is that you have a pet of the Nine Nether Golden Sable. This is the will of heaven. I think instead of selecting a new flame spirit guardian from the Tiangui Sect, it is better to put this flame spirit in your body. There are other people in the Heavenly Ghost Sect who possess the Wheel Flame Spirit, but I am not in a position to tell you.
The moment you open the jade box, a beam of earth-colored light will shoot out, which is the spiritual contract of this spiritual flame. If you cannot use the Five Elements Flame Art in time to collect this flame spirit into your body, you will be attacked by the spiritual contract, and the flame spirit will eventually occupy your body.
In addition, what I said about Hai Yue'er is indeed a regret for me. But the years have passed, and the possibility of finding Hai Yue'er again is very small. The promise to find Hai Yue'er for me is up to you, and it is optional.
But for the sake of the long-term plan of the Heavenly Ghost Sect, please protect this Wheel Flame Spirit. I wish you to practice the Five Elements Flame Art as soon as possible. When you practice the Wheel Flame Spirit to the realm of communicating with spirits, you can enter the Ghost Howl Land again to find me. "
After reading the letter, Xu Yang had a lot of thoughts in his mind.
The life story of his little mink was solved, and Xu Yang felt much more open-minded. In Xu Yang's mind, the power of the little mink was not the most important thing. Because in Xu Yang's mind, the little mink "Pantao" was as close as his brother.
Now he had to sacrifice some of "Pantao"'s blood. After Xu Yang explained the situation to "Pantao", "Pantao" readily agreed to let Xu Yang use his blood.
Spread the flame tiger skin flat on the floor of the training room. Xu Yang sat cross-legged on it. In front of him was a crystal ball with a wheel of flame spirit.
He silently recited the formula of the Five Elements Flame Formula in his heart, squeezed out a few drops of blood on the tip of his little finger and dripped them into the small porcelain bottle prepared in advance Then put a few drops of the essence of "Peach" into this small porcelain bottle.
Finally, drop the mixed essence on the crystal ball.
After a flash of red light, the essence turned into a strand of red lines and sank into the body of the ghost baby flame spirit in the crystal ball. The next moment, the ghost baby flame spirit slowly opened its eyes, rubbed its eyes like a baby who just woke up.
The ghost baby looked at Xu Yang with wide eyes, and then grinned at Xu Yang, revealing a pair of sharp fangs. When the four eyes met, Xu Yang could already feel the fluctuation of the ghost baby's consciousness.
I saw the flame spirit in the shape of a ghost baby with earth-colored spiritual flames surging out. At the same time, the crystal ball made a slight crackling sound, and several spider-web-like cracks appeared. The pattern appeared on the surface of the crystal ball.
With a crisp cracking sound, the crystal ball instantly shattered into several pieces. A ball of earth-colored flames rose into the sky.
Xu Yang quickly used his spiritual sense to communicate with the ghost-baby-like wheel flame spirit. Under the guidance of Xu Yang's spiritual sense, the earth-colored flame spirit went straight into Xu Yang's forehead and disappeared.
Xu Yang hurriedly used the method of inner vision to observe that the wheel flame spirit was curled up and floating in his Dantian Zifu space.
According to the formula recorded in the Five Elements Flame Formula, he used the spiritual contract to stimulate the inner flame spirit. The surface of Xu Yang's body showed a faint earth-colored light curtain, and wisps of the energy of the wheel flame spirit began to wash the meridians around his body.
Xu Yang faintly felt that although the wheel flame spirit was of fire in appearance, it contained deep The earth attribute energy was as deep and thick as the earth. As this energy circulated in Xu Yang's body for twelve cycles, a layer of earth attribute with a strong foundation was imprinted on Xu Yang's meridians. The toughness of the meridians was greatly improved under the nourishment of this earth attribute. Xu Yang's original physical strength was also much stronger, far exceeding that of the cultivators of the same level.
Half a day later.
Sitting on the flame tiger skin, Xu Yang slowly opened his eyes. He stretched out his right index finger, and a ball of earth-colored flame appeared on his fingertips. His spiritual consciousness moved, and he noticed that there was a hint of strange vitality in this flame, as if it had life. The flexibility of controlling this flame was many times more convenient than before, and it was not an exaggeration to say that he could do it at will.
Point a finger at the ground. The flame on the fingertip suddenly sank into the ground and disappeared.
After a moment, Xu Yang waved his hand again, and a ball of earth-colored flame came out from the wall. Xu Yang drew a line in the air, and the flame swept through a long earth-colored rainbow in the air and fell steadily back to his fingertip.
"Collect!" He silently recited the formula in his heart. The spiritual flame at the fingertip flashed and disappeared. It was as if it had never appeared. The attribute of this wheel spiritual flame is earth, and it can freely shuttle through all earth-attributed media. The benefits in actual combat are self-evident, which makes Xu Yang very happy.
The first level of the Five Elements Flame Formula is successful.
