Chapter 434: Acquired Spirit Body, Breaking the Forbidden Compass
Thinking in his mind, Xie Duanyang directly asked his doubts.
Gongsun Li and Luo Gui looked at each other and slowly began to explain.
It turns out that Hanhai Palace has been inherited from ancient times and has dominated the East China Sea for tens of thousands of years. Taoism has its own uniqueness, especially its mastery of water magic.
In its deepest forbidden area, there is the Eye Dragon Pond, which has amazing effectiveness.
It can transform a person's physique and give birth to an acquired water-spirited body.
Only by possessing this spiritual body can one practice the most profound and powerful techniques of Hanhai Palace.
The incarnation of Shuiyun in the Shuiyun lineage is a monk with wind spirit roots, and then gives birth to a water spirit body. He also has the two elements of Feng Shui, so he can practice this method.
After hearing this, Xie Duanyang thought a lot and tried to ask again.
"This pool is so mysterious that it can actually create spiritual bodies. Could it be that even ordinary mortals can give birth to spiritual bodies and embark on the path of spiritual practice?"
"How is this possible?
Between immortals and mortals, I am afraid that even the rumored true cultivator of becoming a god cannot do it.
Although it is said that such an expert once appeared in Hanhai Palace, there is nothing we can do."
Gongsun Li laughed dumbly and briefly explained the relevant information about this secret technique.
"For this secret technique, one must have at least a cultivation level of pill formation or above, so that the body and will can withstand the transformation of the marrow cleansed by the Book of Changes.
Moreover, during this period, he must stay in the dragon pond for at least thirty years without interruption for a single day, otherwise his achievements will be in vain.
Not to mention the spiritual energy and other resources consumed for this purpose are almost enough to cultivate famous alchemy monks.
Even in the Hanhai Palace at that time, not everyone had this opportunity, and there were only a few true disciples from the most direct lineage in each generation.
Moreover, it is not suitable for everyone. For example, for two Taoist friends who practice the fire method, entering it will not only be useless, but will actually damage the Taoism.
Water magic cultivators are the most suitable, while wind and wood cultivators are barely..."
After hearing this, Xie Duanyang nodded slightly, thoughtfully.
The principle is similar to that of the green-bearded turtle that guarded the spiritual eye stone and was infiltrated by it for a long time, thus being able to change its physical attributes.
It's just that Hanhai Palace's method is obviously much more sophisticated and mature, unlike the Green Beard Turtle, which takes at least hundreds of years.
The transformed water spirit body seems to have much better qualifications and can retain the original spiritual root attributes.
"I won't hide it from Brother Zhang either."
Gongsun Li put the flute on his knees and formally extended the invitation.
"I entered the late stage thirty years ago, and now I am only one step away from having a fake baby.
But when it comes to conceiving a baby, it’s really hard to say how sure you are.
The fundamental Tao method of Shuiyun lineage is most suitable for practicing below.
If he can obtain this Taoist secret and transform his magic power, Gongsun Li is confident that he will be able to conceive a baby in one fell swoop.
It’s just that according to the information I collected, this technique is hidden deep in Yunshui Ruins and is guarded by a powerful restriction. Even if I can’t break through the door, I still need the help of several colleagues..."
As he spoke, Gongsun Li raised his right hand, bent his thumb, and raised the other four fingers.
Xie Duanyang nodded, expressing understanding.
Forty percent, that's really high, and it's enough for any alchemy monk to fight for it.
Moreover, he estimated that the other party's statement was probably more conservative.
What's more, what Gongsun Li said was only the probability of conceiving a baby in one fell swoop. It may not fail once, but there is the possibility of a breakthrough later.
Calculated, it may be as high as 50% to 60%.
"Brother Gongsun told Zhang the basics of the road, so there is no need to doubt his sincerity.
I just heard that Yunshui Ruins was very dangerous and many comrades lost their lives there.
And I don’t know much about the restriction of formations, so I’m afraid I may not be able to help fellow Taoists much..."
Xie Duanyang's face changed several times. After pondering for half a quarter of an hour, he showed a look of pain and gritted his teeth to refuse.
In the East China Sea, it is recognized that dangers and opportunities coexist in Yunsheng Ruins.
The rewards are great, but the risks are also great.
Even if the Yuanying old monster is among them, it is difficult to say that it is completely comprehensive.
Xie Duanyang's wealth far exceeds that of ordinary alchemy, and he also knows many things that will happen in the next few hundred years. As long as he follows the steps, the hope of becoming a Yuanying or even becoming a god is not slim.
Only the final step of ascending to the spiritual world is really tricky.
Since this is the case, there is no need to take such risks in everything.
After all, although this method is wonderful, it is of little use to yourself.
Unlike Gongsun Li, who was born with a physical constitution and spiritual roots, he was completely tailor-made for the Hanhai Palace exercises, and he didn't even need to use the power of Longchi to change his constitution.
If the Hanhai Palace is not destroyed, I am afraid that it will be collected as a true inheritance.
If there is any panacea for improving spiritual roots and breaking through bottlenecks, you might consider it.
Moreover, if he agreed as soon as the other party opened his mouth, it would be too easy, and he might be suspected.
It is better to take retreat as an advance and see what other conditions the other party can offer and what preparations they have made for it.
If it's really safe, that's not impossible.
After finishing speaking, he hurriedly added another sentence.
"Zhang is willing to take the oath of inner demons and promise that he will never tell outsiders what happened today. You two fellow Taoists can rest assured."
"Brother Zhang is also a disciple of Master Chi, and Junior Brother Luo is a true member of our own family. How could he not trust the leaked rumors?"
This time, it was Luo Gui who interrupted with a smile.
Waving his hand, Gongsun Li didn't really ask him to swear. His expression became gentler and he explained again.
“I actually don’t know much about the formation.
But for that restriction, Brother Luo specially prepared a treasure in recent years.
But even so, it still requires the spiritual consciousness and magic power of a Nascent Soul monk to guarantee success.
Although a certain family considers themselves not mediocre among Taoist friends in the same realm, they have crossed a large realm and dare not make such nonsense.
However, I know a secret technique that can temporarily concentrate the magic power and spiritual consciousness of the caster in one place.
With the combined efforts of the three of us, we can almost walk on flat ground."
Luo Gui next to him breathed a sigh of relief, took out something from the storage bag, and held it carefully in his hand.
Xie Duanyang looked carefully, but it was only a compass.
The outer plate is square and the inner plate is round.
Tianchi, Xiantian Bagua, Luoshu, nine stars sitting on the mountain, twenty-four stars, twenty-four mountains, seventy-two dragons passing through the mountain, one hundred and twenty dragons sharing gold...
Although it is only nine inches, it has as many as twenty-four layers from the inside to the outside.
Even with his broad knowledge, it is difficult to understand all the meanings at a glance. Obviously, it must be paired with the corresponding secret methods.
“I spent a lot of money to take a selfie of this forbidden compass.
Although Luo only has a superficial understanding of formation techniques, as long as he holds this treasure, he is no less capable than those formation masters in breaking the restrictions."
Luo Gui couldn't help showing a proud look as his fingers touched the inscriptions on the surface of the compass.
Although it cost him almost half of his savings over the years to win this deal, it was all worth it.
Later, for the purpose of testing, he continued to explore two ancient ruins, both of which went smoothly.
Although I didn’t gain much the first time, I gained a lot the second time.
It was precisely because of this treasure that Luo Gui was chosen by Gongsun Li as his companion to explore Yunsheng Ruins.
Otherwise, even though he had refined a natal magic weapon for himself, the relationship between the two of them had always been good.
However, there is not much praise in terms of magic power and cultivation, and it is only a drag after entering Yunsheng Ruins.
"Since Senior Brother Luo has this rare treasure, Mr. Zhang will become a fly with no choice but to take advantage of it."
Knowing the existence of the ancient compass treasure, Xie Duanyang readily agreed without hesitation.
"Fellow Taoist, I'm being humble. The sound of my flute is not just as simple as transforming into sword energy, it also has the power to disturb the mind.
Brother Zhang is actually able to remain as still as a mountain without being affected by it at all, and his spiritual consciousness is probably not inferior to those in the middle stage of pill formation."
Seeing that he agreed, Gongsun Li was also very happy, and Xiao Dianpo praised Xie Duanyang's strength.
Then the smile straightened and the trip to Yunsheng Ruins was seriously discussed.
The Hanhai Palace's island protection formation is built based on Chuhaiyan and many Yinsha earth veins.
Although many years have passed, most of them have been preserved.
About every thirty years or so, affected by changes in the earth's veins, moon phases, etc., the tidal power of the Sea Eye will be weakened by nearly half, and the operation of the formation will also be greatly affected.
Back then, the deep-sea demonic beasts sent out collectively to attack the Hanhai Palace, and this was the time chosen.
Therefore, when the Donghai monks explore Yunsheng Ruins, they basically seize the time node that occurs once every thirty years.
Of course, this is only for those monks who intend to go deeper.
In fact, tens of thousands of years have passed, and generations after generations, countless monks have continued to explore.
The restrictions on the periphery of Yunsheng Ruins have been almost broken, and there are a group of low-level monks operating here all year round.
The Hundred Islands Alliance and several other powerful spiritual islands and organizations also have their own strongholds here to purchase various unique elixir materials produced here.
"Although we have Brother Luo's forbidden compass, Yunsheng Ruins is not a good place after all.
Not only are there remaining restrictions inside, but over thousands of years, many monsters inside have also become a climate. We still need to make more preparations.
We also need to set aside about two to three months as time to practice the secret techniques and get used to each other..."
Gongsun Li not only visited Yunsheng Ruins, he also obviously did some research and collected a lot of relevant information about this place.
Although there were not many really key secrets mentioned today, Xie Duanyang couldn't help but secretly nod after hearing this.
It would be difficult for me to be as comprehensive as the other party, not to mention the time it takes. It also saves a lot of energy.
Coupled with the forbidden compass in Luo Gui's hand, it seems that he will not return empty-handed from this trip.
It’s also funny, exploring the secrets of ruins and the like.
It's certainly futile when there's no harvest, but if there are treasures all over the place, you have to worry about uneven distribution of the spoils and fall out on the spot.
Fortunately, the two of them are not without status, and Luo Gui and Gongsun Li have always been friends.
The Shuiyun lineage Taoist book is related to Gongsun Li's pregnancy. Compared with it, the value of other ancient treasures, elixirs, etc. is nothing to this late-stage elixir-former.
Unless they really encounter a heaven-defying opportunity like the Xutian Cauldron, there is a high probability that there will be no internal strife between them.
Of course, we must prepare for the worst in everything and cannot be without precautions.
Three years is enough time for me to refine the treasure armor robe into a magic weapon. I think even if I control the magic weapon in the later stage of pill formation, it will be enough to defeat several tricks.
However, if "Mingwang Jue" can make another breakthrough, that would be great.
The fourth level is an important level, and there will be obvious changes before and after it is completed.
After making up his mind, Xie Duanyang did not hesitate to refuse this time, and he and the other two swore an alliance to the East China Sea at the same time.
We agree not to leak this matter, nor to betray our interests, nor to take action against our allies, otherwise our path will be in vain, and we will not even be able to reincarnate.
After the vows were made, the relationship between the three of them was obviously much more harmonious than before.
Xie Duanyang was not in a hurry to leave, but instead exchanged experiences and insights with the two for a few days.
Gongsun Liqinmo's name resounds throughout the East China Sea, and he is known as the person who is most likely to break through the Nascent Soul among the pill formations. He seems to have received some scattered inheritance from the Hanhai Palace in the past, which is extraordinary.
Xie Duanyang felt that some of his words were of some benefit after hearing them, and he thought that his understanding of the realm of pill formation was a little more insightful.
It's just that he can't retreat immediately, there are still some things that need to be dealt with.
The first step is to hand over half of the elixirs previously promised to Bihong Valley to the other party, and also borrow the Taoist classics from his collection.
Of course, the inheritance they keep at the bottom of the box will definitely not be leaked.
Even so, Xie Duanyang also felt that the harvest was not small.
Bihong Valley's strength is not outstanding, but because of its wide network of contacts, the number of books it collects is also considerable.
It's just that their lineage obviously didn't pay much attention to this. Thousands of them are very mixed, and it's obvious at first glance that they haven't been carefully sorted out.
Many of the trophies that were obviously handed over to the enemy were randomly placed together.
It is not like the Wanfa Building on Dihuo Island, which is divided into categories, including elixirs, medicines, medicines, utensils, formations, methods, talismans, etc.
Then make detailed divisions based on rank value, source genre techniques, etc.
But precisely because of this, he found dozens of volumes of hidden treasures.
It not only contains the superb skills above the Nascent Soul, but also contains some obscure secret techniques and secrets.
Most of these are written in appendices or excerpted essays after the main text of other Taoist books, and the real names are often omitted.
Unless you read it carefully and have a clear understanding of it, you can easily ignore it.
After all, even an alchemy cultivator would not read all of these. At most, they would only be interested in a few exercises and related skills that they have studied intensively.
Although the number of low-level monks is large, they do not have the status and authority to carefully read it, and their cultivation level also limits them.
Often, even if you are in the treasure mountain, you will not know it.
Xie Duanyang had no secrets about these things.
Instead, he frankly informed Qingzhu and Bibo along with the compiled catalog outline.
On the contrary, the two women had a much better impression of him. They only thought that he was noble and upright, and that they could have a deep relationship with him.
Several islands are in alliance and have contacts with each other.
Especially after the classes started, Bihong Valley also sent some of its disciples to attend the classes, and they were also somewhat interested in Wanfa Tower and the contribution system.
It's just that the two women are not talented in this field, so they can't imitate it. However, they didn't expect that Xie Duanyang came here to borrow books and read them for only ten days, and then gave him this gift again.
Although vision and knowledge cannot be equated with the state of cultivation, it should always be considered highly.
After leaving Bihong Valley, Xie Duanyang returned to Dihuo Island.
First, he checked the progress of work in the dock, inspected the progress of the apprentices in their weapon refining skills, and gave a routine lecture to the monks who had performed well on the island.
We will make an announcement on the opening of the second phase of classes.
After everything was taken care of, he entered the cave again and officially started refining the robe.
