Although he told his wife and family not to disturb him, Ye Tian still did not dare to be careless. After setting up a soundproof array in front of the study door, he entered the room.
The dark jade-like stone was still placed on the desk. Under the sunlight in the afternoon, it flashed a dazzling dark purple color, looking mysterious and unusual.
"Back then, Heijiao gave this black jade to me so preciously that it must be something extraordinary!"
Ye Tian took a deep breath, wrapped his palms with his spiritual consciousness, and held the black jade in his hands. When he was about to sit down cross-legged, he suddenly remembered something.
Putting Mo Yu on the table, Ye Tian walked to the corner of the room, opened a backpack he brought from Shennongjia, and took out the Sanqing Bell from inside.
Ever since White Ape returned the Sanqing Bell, Ye Tian has never had time to think about it. However, Ye Tian has a feeling that the role of the Sanqing Bell is far more than just opening the inherited skills in his mind. It must have other functions.
.
"Jingle Bell!"
He took the handle and shook it gently, and a pleasant bell rang, but it was exactly the same as an ordinary bell, and there was nothing unusual about it.
Ye Tian frowned, separated half of his soul to wrap the Sanqing Bell, and then shook his right hand again. What is strange is that this time there was no sound from the Sanqing Bell.
However, Ye Tian's face was suddenly stunned for a moment, and then he showed a look of ecstasy.
"This...this thing can actually have an effect on the soul?"
Although there was no sound from the Sanqing Bell, the sound of "Dingling Bell" was directly transmitted into Ye Tian's sea of consciousness.
The crisp and melodious ringtone made Ye Tian's mind clear, and this business seemed to have a kind of magical power, which quickly calmed down Ye Tian's originally a little irritable mood due to Zhu and Dong's visit.
Moreover, under the influence of the ringtone, Ye Tian's soul seemed to be shaken, as if the avenue was ringing in unison, and an indescribable feeling arose in Ye Tian's heart.
At the stage of refining the spirit and returning to the void, it has changed from cultivating the body to cultivating the mind. These three clear bells can affect people's minds. For Ye Tian, who has not yet formed a soul, it is undoubtedly a timely help.
"But...but how can I shake the Sanqing Bell when I am cultivating my soul?"
Ye Tian discovered that when the Sanqing Bell was not shaken, it would not produce the above-mentioned effects. This made Ye Tian scratch his head a little. Yuan Shen cultivation does not tolerate the slightest distraction, and Ye Tian cannot yet do two things at once.
.
After walking back and forth in the room a few times, Ye Tian found a red rope from the drawer and tied it to the slit at the top of the Sanqing Bell. He looked around and hung the red rope on the clothes hanger next to the desk.
above.
After doing this, Ye Tian sat cross-legged on the futon on the ground, put the black jade in his palms, and then raised his hands flat to his chest.
The chaotic consciousness stayed above the two palms, while the Sanqing Bell was one meter in front of Ye Tian, just level with his forehead.
"go!"
With Ye Tian's spiritual thought, a ray of consciousness separated from the chaotic Yuan Shen, and struck the Sanqing Bell as fast as lightning, and a crisp ringing sound was immediately transmitted back to the Yuan Shen.
Shocked by the ringing, his soul felt relieved. Ye Tianyun used the method of cultivating his spiritual consciousness. Suddenly, a suction force spread from his soul to the black jade in his palm.
The originally cold and unusual black jade turned into extremely refined spiritual energy under this suction force, overflowing into Ye Tian Yuan Shen in strands.
Under the lingering sound of the ringing, the speed at which Yuanshen absorbed spiritual energy seemed to be three points faster.
Ye Tian did not enter into deep concentration, but was experiencing this feeling carefully. From time to time, he would send out a ray of consciousness to strike the Sanqing Bell, and use the sound of the bell to concentrate, as if the great road was ringing in his mind.
, but there is no risk of going crazy.
His mind was completely immersed in his cultivation, and Ye Tian completely didn't notice the sun setting and rising outside the window, and the feeling of his soul constantly filling up made him forget the mundane world around him.
Ye Tian's breathing became longer, and there was almost no pressure on his chest. The interval between exhaling and inhaling was more than ten minutes, and the soul floating in front of him seemed to have changed slightly.
The Yuanshen, which was originally a chaotic mass, could vaguely see the outline of a person. Although it was not very clear, the shape of the small hands and feet had emerged, and it looked much thicker and more condensed than before.
"Huh..." After taking a long breath, Ye Tian finally opened his eyes. It wasn't that he didn't want to continue, but he felt his stomach growling.
Without the true energy to nourish the body, and the soul was still cultivating, although Ye Tian's spirit was unusually strong, his physical body could not bear it.
Just when Ye Tian opened his eyes, the soul that was stationed in front of him turned into a ray of light, penetrated through the seals of his eyes, and then traveled around the whole body. The discomfort in Ye Tian's body suddenly weakened.
point.
"The ancients said that eating wind and drinking dew still requires true energy to supply the needs of the body. Although the soul is important, the physical body is also indispensable!"
Feeling the changes in his body, Ye Tian had a clear understanding in his heart. He used his body as a carrier to cultivate his spirit. The two complement each other and are indispensable.
Although he had stopped practicing, Ye Tian did not get up. He sat down and closed his eyes again. After a moment of careful consideration, the soul jumped out from the heavenly spirit.
"go!"
Ye Tian let out a slight scolding, and the soul above his head turned into a big hand, which instantly appeared above the desk and grabbed the "Ling Bu Xian Sutra" that he read every day.
If there was another person in the room at this time, they would see that the book originally placed on the table suddenly floated up and came directly in front of Ye Tian.
As Ye Tian's belief changed, the "Lingbu Immortal Sutra" flew high into the sky and flew around the room. It took more than a minute before it returned to the desk again.
"Haha...hahaha!" After taking back his soul, Ye Tian burst out laughing, feeling extremely comfortable.
You must know that the performance of the Yuan Shen just now has gone beyond the scope of retrieving objects from the air. As Ye Tian's cultivation continues to deepen and the Yuan Shen condenses into a real Yang Shen, then he can truly forget both things and me, and wander around the world.
"Huh? Where's that piece of black jade? How...how could this happen?"
While overjoyed, Ye Tian suddenly remembered the black jade in his palm, and couldn't help but spread his palm, only to find that there was nothing else but a pool of white powder in his palm.
"What...what's going on?"
Ye Tian was shocked, and the joy of condensing his soul suddenly disappeared without a trace. Without the essence of the aura in the ink jade, he would probably need at least three years of hard training if he wanted to reach the state where his soul could capture objects.
It can be said that Ye Tian has regarded Mo Yu as a treasure on the same level as Sanqing Ling, or even more important than Sanqing Ling!
"The stone is black, how could it leave white powder?" Ye Tian was a little unwilling and searched around the body, but found nothing.
"Is it because I have absorbed all the spiritual energy in the stone that the stone turned into powder?"
An idea suddenly came to Ye Tian's mind. This black jade should be just a special carrier to hold spiritual energy. When the spiritual energy disappears, the black jade loses its function and decomposes by itself.
"Damn, I...where can I find this thing again?"
Ye Tian stood up and cursed angrily. A stone saved him three years of hard work. If he could have a thousand people, Ye Tian believed that he could enter the golden elixir avenue. It would not be difficult.
.
As the saying goes, it is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality. After seeing the effect of that black jade, Ye Tian felt as if there were a hundred thousand cat claws scratching his heart, and he could not calm down no matter what.
"Forget it, let's eat something first."
The "gurgling" sound coming from his stomach made Ye Tian stand up. He didn't know how long he had been practicing, but through the sunlight coming from the window, he could tell that it was early morning.
Opening the door, it turned out that the sky had just brightened up, but then Ye Tian was stunned because he saw his mother standing in front of his room with an anxious look on her face.
Ye Tian knew that his mother liked to work late at night and had never been in the habit of getting up early, so he quickly asked: "Mom, why do you get up so early?"
Seeing her son come out, Song Weilan opened her mouth to speak, but Ye Tian could only see his mother's lips trembling, but he didn't know what he was saying.
"Hey, how could I forget this?"
Ye Tian hurriedly put his feet on the ground, bent down and took back the "Da Qi Tong Bao" buried in the eye of the array. Only then did he hear his mother's words, "Xiao Tian, you... you are out, you are so anxious."
Mom."
"Mom, I'm fine. Didn't I tell you that I'm in retreat?" Ye Tian was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and quickly asked: "How long will I be in retreat this time?"
Song Weilan glared at Ye Tian and said: "What's more, you stayed in there for five whole days, and no matter how we shouted outside, you couldn't answer. If you don't come out today, I...I'm going to go in!"
"Five days? Such a long time?" Only then did Ye Tian know the reason why he was so hungry. It was just that he was completely immersed in the cultivation of his soul at that time and could not feel the passage of time at all.
The ancients said that one day in the mountains lasts a thousand years, which actually means this. Those who practice Taoism often go into retreat for many years and months, and then return to the mortal world, which has already changed a lot.
Song Weilan walked to her son and looked up and down. After seeing that Ye Tian was fine, she took a breath and said, "Xiaotian, don't do this next time, you'll scare us!"
If Ye Tian hadn't specifically warned his family before, and Song Weilan believed his son's words now, they might have broken in long ago.
"Mom, I understand, don't worry." Ye Tian agreed, but he sighed in his heart. It is true that his home is not suitable for him to practice.
