Volume 1: Winds Rising From the Mountains and Lakes Chapter 10: Xuanyuan Patriarch
Xiao Yi read it with great excitement. For him, "Miscellaneous Notes of Journey to the East" undoubtedly opened a wonderful door of fantasy, showing a magical world of cultivating immortals.
From "Miscellaneous Notes on Journey to the East", Xiao Yi learned that the small bag of tips was the 'Universal Bag' used by monks, which was made from scarce materials and contained a mustard seed formation to create another universe. A monk can easily control it with his spiritual consciousness. It can be as small as a grain of rice or as large as a boulder.
That mysterious feeling is the spiritual consciousness that monks only have. The bean-like light group behind Yintang is the sea of consciousness. For those with advanced cultivation, their spiritual consciousness can reach hundreds of miles with a single thought.
Suppressing his inner shock, he picked up another jade slip. This is "Baicao Huizhuan", divided into two volumes. There are not many things recorded in the first volume, which Xiao Yi is very familiar with. It contains the compatibility and medicinal effects of secular herbs and various prescriptions. What is described in the next volume is something he has never seen before. It talks about some genius treasures and various medicinal herbs in the form of paintings. It also details the different medicinal properties of different years and different shapes. At the end of "Baicao Huizhuan", there are also appendices several elixir recipes and detailed refining techniques. These should be collected and compiled by Xuanyuan Zhenren.
A new world opened a door to him. Although he had not truly entered, the wonder of the world outside the door had already deeply shocked and attracted Xiao Yi.
Xiao Yi took a long breath and picked up the third jade slip.
"...The heaven and the earth are chaotic, and people have two qi of yin and yang. One yin and one yang are called Tao, and the innate and acquired are different. The innate is pure yang; the acquired is pure yin. The upper and lower expressions are human beings, giving life and receiving destiny. In the innate ancestral energy, there is something in it but not a thing, and there is essence in it but not essence...
...I have been practicing hard for two hundred years before I can enter the gate and build the foundation. My sorrow ends here. The way of heaven is difficult, nothing like this... When life is over, the way of heaven is abandoned...
There are spiritual beings in heaven and earth, but there are no true immortals in the world..."
Xiao Yi was stunned and slowly put down the jade slip in his hand.
The real reasons for the rise and fall of Xuanyuan Guan, the mystery of Xuanyuan's ascension, all of this, the fog gradually disappears.
The origin of Xuanyuan Zhenren is unknown. When he was traveling in the East China Sea, by chance and hard work, he joined the Immortal Sect of Daxia Kingdom and accidentally obtained the cultivation inheritance in a cave.
The founder of Xuanyuan Guan practiced hard alone for more than two hundred years, and finally reached the foundation-building stage. The hardships of cultivation are beyond description.
Longevity is limited, but avenues are few!
Master Xuanyuan left Daxia for some unknown reason, traveled here, and planted this amethyst fruit tree behind the cliff of Immortal Peak in Taiping Mountain.
Amethyst fruit is also known as the elixir of return. It is said that this amethyst fruit tree only bears seven fruits. According to rumors, monks who eat it can improve their cultivation and become immortals instantly. For ordinary people, eating it can have the effect of cutting off hair, washing marrow, and reborn. People who practice martial arts can strengthen their foundation and improve their vitality by eating it, which can increase their Jiazi skills. If the amethyst fruit is supplemented with other elixirs, it can be made into elixirs, which are the elixirs for those cultivators below the foundation-building stage to achieve breakthroughs in cultivation.
Perhaps in order to protect the amethyst fruit tree, perhaps he wanted to spread the word to the common people and benefit his hometown. From then on, Master Xuanyuan opened the door at the top of the immortal to teach disciples and built the Xuanyuan Temple here.
Master Xuanyuan must have thought that the amethyst fruit could improve his cultivation, but before the fruit tree could bear fruit, his lifespan ran out, and he died here with endless regrets. What he didn't expect was that it would take thousands of years for the amethyst fruit tree to bloom, bear fruit, and mature.
After reading this, Xiao Yi couldn't help but sigh. He clearly understood that the strange changes in his body were caused by swallowing the amethyst fruit.
At such a young age, he seemed to have experienced the baptism of thousands of years in a short period of time. He had a vague understanding of the difficulty of cultivating immortality, and the young man's detached mind also felt a little heavier.
There are spiritual beings in heaven and earth, but there are no true immortals in the world... Are there such immortals or not? When one's lifespan is over, Heaven has abandoned it... A person's life span of two hundred years is also a false life, so what's the explanation for being abandoned by Heaven?
…
Behind the jade slip, Master Xuanyuan marked the items he left behind.
The Xuanyuan Talisman was collected by Master Xuanyuan in Daxia and compiled into a volume. It contains spells for mortals, and more importantly, the refining methods of the Talismans used in the world of immortality. Inside the Xuanyuan Jade Pendant, there was also his personal training method, which, together with the Xuanyuan Talisman, was left in Xuanyuan Temple as a sect inheritance.
The small sword and the small flag were acquired by Master Xuanyuan when he received the inheritance of his skills in the cave, and had saved him in danger several times.
The four small flags form a set of formation flags, which Master Xuanyuan said was of great use.
After the jade slip, several small spells were appended, namely wind control, invisibility, and fire exorcism.
Master Xuanyuan’s final message: “… It’s difficult to practice qi and build a foundation, and it’s difficult to adjust the baby. Only one person can get a glimpse of the secret of heaven. If the immortal is short of a piece of paper, it should be separated by thousands of mountains. It is not a matter of great perseverance and great opportunity. Those who inherit my legacy are destined to be independent, be cautious, and be brave. If you do something, I would like to tell others about it. "
Xiao Yi put down the jade slips, and it turned out that the few small stones in the kit were spiritual stones. These stones could replenish the spiritual power of the cultivators and serve as chips for transactions, just like silver coins in the world.
He sat quietly for a while, looking at everything left by Master Xuanyuan in front of him, which made people feel silent. The remains in the stone chamber must be that of the founder, Xuanyuan Zhenren. I wonder what Master would think if he knew this?
"Oops!"
Xiao Yi couldn't help but panic when he thought of his master. I don’t know how long it has been, but Master will definitely be anxious if he doesn’t see me return to the mountain. It seems that there is no way to escape being scolded by the master. I hope that by telling Master everything that happened in the cave truthfully, I might be able to make amends.
Thinking of this, Xiaoyi stood up and returned to the stone room. He kowtowed four times respectfully to the stone couch. The dead are the greatest, and one more kowtow is required. The remains of the founder of Xuanyuan Temple will be reported to the master before making a decision. After that, he returned to the entrance of the cave and put the items and arrows left by Xuanyuan Zhenren back into the Qiankun bag. Look at the golden ribbon, which is just hanging around the neck. There are treasures in it!
Xiaoyi pressed his chest, bent down and stretched his head to look down. Looking at the steep mountain wall, he frowned and must find a way to get out of the cave. Jumping down is not possible, it is seven or eight feet above the ground! Too high. Jump to the big tree near the cave entrance, but I am not a squirrel, right?
Think of another way! Looking at the sky outside the cave, Xiaoyi thought to himself that it should be past the hour of Wei. He was so anxious at the entrance of the cave that he was running around in circles. His Qinggong was not good enough! If he could ride the wind, what would such a high cave be like...? Thinking of this, he slapped his head fiercely. That's right! Isn't there a spell in the jade slip? What is the wind control technique? It sounds similar to Qinggong. Maybe it can be tried.
Xiaoyi took out the jade slip and immersed it in his consciousness, and found the wind control technique.
The wind control technique is divided into two parts: the oral formula and the hand formula, which can control the wind and hang in the air. The oral formula is only a few short sentences. After reading it carefully several times, he remembered it. There are also a few hand formulas, which he memorized in his mind and then demonstrated several times with both hands.
Thinking that it was almost done, Xiaoyi muttered something in his mouth, and quickly played a few hand formulas with both hands, and shouted "Quick!" He didn't think it was right in his heart. This wind control technique is very simple!
But there is no change in his body? Xiaoyi scratched his head and thought about it, but he didn't dare to jump down rashly. Who knows if this wind control technique is effective.
No! Since it is a spell, it is naturally not easy to practice or anyone can perform it. Did I go wrong? He carefully read the wind control technique in the jade slip again, and he was right!
Oh! Could it be like this! ?
Xiaoyi adjusted his breath and a weak warm current flowed from the Dantian Qihai through the arm meridians to his fingers. He then waved his hands and made a few hand gestures, and saw several spiritual hand seals in front of him, connected into a ball of air shield and then absorbed into his body.
Suddenly, a light and elegant feeling filled Xiaoyi's body, and he felt his body was light, as if he had lost weight.
With joy in his heart, he no longer hesitated. Xiaoyi used force on his toes and rushed forward. Like a startled wild goose, he quickly floated to the big tree near the cave entrance. When he was close to the treetop, he quickly tapped his toes, twisted his body, and fell gently to the ground like a leaf.
