There is a faint layer of light outside Li Yan, which is almost invisible to the naked eye. This is different from the flickering light during previous cultivation, and the divine light is more restrained.
The Dantian sea in his body, the endless sea of Rumo spiritual energy, was reduced by 10%. This was due to Li Yan's cultivation of "Nine Cauldrons of Guishui".
The sea of spiritual power in Guishui is constantly condensed and compressed as it is polished day by day, which makes Li Yan's magic power more and more pure. The power contained in a drop of spiritual power is like a Thunder God's hammer, which can easily smash a mountain into powder.
Li Yan's current magic power is steadily progressing towards the later stage, but if he wants to break through to the late Nascent Soul stage, Li Yan estimates that it may take at least a hundred years or so according to normal cultivation.
Even though the Guishui Sutra also contains the Five Elements Dao, which allows him to have a more thorough understanding of the rules of heaven and can easily integrate the power of the Five Elements transformation, the later stage of Nascent Soul is an almost insurmountable mountain for monks in the lower world.
Even with such a foundation as the Tianli clan, for more than a thousand years, only the Great Elder has succeeded in making a breakthrough. In addition to practicing the best skills in the world and possessing top qualifications, he also needs a great opportunity.
Li Yan felt that there was a high probability that he could break through to the late Nascent Soul stage within a hundred years, but he still felt that this speed was still too slow.
If others knew his thoughts, he would have the intention to eat Li Yan alive and see if his essence and blood can help him in his cultivation.
He has only been in the Nascent Soul stage for several years, but he actually wants to break through to the late Nascent Soul stage, and he is certain that he will be able to achieve it in the next hundred years. How can they practice cultivation? Apart from frustration, they can only sigh.
One sound.
This is the technique. In addition to breaking through the big realms, although there will be bottlenecks in small realms at each level, they are not unbreakable.
With the help of the endless power of the Five Elements, you can basically break through. It's just a matter of early or late. But to really achieve a breakthrough in a big realm, it also requires personal opportunity and hard work.
An hour later, Li Yan was only wearing a set of tight underwear. He pointed the index finger of his left hand on the ground, stretched one leg back and crossed his legs with the other leg. This posture was impossible for ordinary people to achieve.
However, he remained motionless in this posture, slowly turning his mind, and kept breathing out. He had reached the fifth level of "Qiongqi Purgatory Technique".
The cultivation of the fourth level was unexpectedly fast, probably because Li Yan's own cultivation had already surpassed the Golden Core realm, and he also had the essence and blood of the "Immortal Dark Phoenix", so he didn't waste much time at all.
After having the follow-up skills in hand, Li Yan broke through to the fourth level in just half an hour. Then he spent another half day practicing and climbed all the way to the fifth level, which made people feel that the fourth level of cultivation did not exist.
.
After entering the fifth level of cultivation, Li Yan also rose straight up. More than a year ago, he reached the peak state of the fifth level.
Over time, Li Yan continued to stabilize this state. Now he is still practicing diligently, and his physical strength will still slowly increase.
Although it seems that Li Yan practiced these two levels of exercises quickly and did not bring much effect, only Li Yan knows how much benefit he has gained.
His physical strength, which had not improved for a long time, had once again increased by more than 10%.
You must know that at Li Yan's level, whether it is magical power or physical strength, it is extremely difficult to improve even a little bit, and you don't know how much time it will take to practice hard.
When encountering a late Nascent Soul cultivator before, Li Yan had to consider how sure he was to escape, but now he is confident that he can fight with the opponent in a few moves.
But this is what he thinks. That is when the opponent's strength is within the range of the normal late Nascent Soul stage. He has secret magic powers, and others can also You can, so you can't measure other people's combat prowess by their realm.
Li Yan would always maintain a cautious attitude and never underestimate any opponent. There were too many things that capsized in the gutter, and he didn't want it to happen to him.
Three more hours later, the sky outside the window was already slightly brighter, and Li Yan dropped his rock-steady posture.
The moment he relaxed, layers of sweat suddenly formed on his smooth skin. For a moment, his whole body felt as if he had been fished out of water, with sweat flowing out like a waterfall.
This was because when he was practicing, the muscles and bones in his body were in a state of balance, but in fact, Li Yan was consuming an astonishing amount of strength and mana with every breath.
When the practice ends, the balance of practice is broken in an instant, and the body's instinctive muscle energy reaction is revealed. Of course, Li Yan can also suppress this phenomenon forcibly, but the natural consumption process is the best body regulation.
After performing a small spell to wash up, Li Yan came to the window.
Opening the window, a cool morning breeze blew in his face. The surrounding area of his Zen room was very quiet, and it was far away from other rooms. Zhuo Lingfeng specially arranged it for him.
The Zen room is built on a cliff, with a view of the abyss outside the window and an endless mountain range in the distance.
Because the mountain peak where Li Yan was standing reached straight into the sky, the originally high mountains outside the window seemed a bit "low", and the scenery from far and near was all at once panoramic.
The cold morning breeze entered his body, and Li Yan couldn't help but feel shaken. Then, he stood at the window and thought about things.
I don't know how much time passed, but Li Yan's expression moved slightly as he looked out the window at the rolling mountains, and soon a smile appeared on his face.
"It's finally here, I hope... it will have a good result!"
After a few breaths, Zhuo Lingfeng's voice came from outside the door.
"Fellow Daoist Li, excuse me!"
It was only then that Li Yan slowly turned around. As he turned around, the door opposite opened quietly.
Outside the door, a young monk, Zhuo Lingfeng, was standing.
It's just that Zhuo Lingfeng's appearance at this moment surprised Li Yan. His face was very haggard, and he had also lost a lot of weight.
After opening the door, Zhuo Lingfeng saw Li Yan standing by the window, looking at him with a smile. He put his palms together and leaned forward slightly.
"Amitabha, Fellow Daoist Li, the art of sacrificial refining is complete!"
After half a stick of incense, Zhuo Lingfeng hurriedly left again. On Li Yan's table, there were a string of Buddhist beads and two jade slips.
Li Yan's spiritual consciousness quickly scanned it, and one of the jade slips was the "Golden Pearl Dragon Subduing Technique" that he had inscribed.
The other one is the "Secret Vajra Zhenyue" sacrificial refining technique, or another method that can produce the Vajrapani Bodhisattva.
After Li Yan picked up the jade slip, his consciousness sank into it and he observed it carefully. It was not until half an hour passed that Li Yan withdrew his consciousness.
What is recorded here is definitely different from the "Secret Vajra Zhenyue" sacrificial refining method of Mingtuo Temple. It is an imitation, or a new method.
Zhuo Lingfeng also made it clear that since they have never really practiced the sacrifice, they are only less than 40% sure. Everything will only be known after the real sacrifice.
While refining, I will adjust the existing problems in the refining technique.
They studied hard day and night, and this time they gathered the three great temple-protecting monks of Shamen Temple. Any one of the three had extremely superb Buddhist skills, much higher than Zen Master Dajing.
Finally, after spending more than two years, a sacrificial refining method was developed.
This also allowed the three great monks of Salmon Temple and Zhuo Lingfeng who participated in the process to gain many benefits from this process, and also saw the different essences of Buddhism from another continent.
So, as soon as this incident was over, the three great monks announced that they would be in seclusion for a period of time. They were going to understand what they had gained this time.
Although Zhuo Lingfeng was just starting out, he was also the most tired when he gained the understanding, because he couldn't understand many things, so he had to put more energy into understanding.
After the hurried explanation just now, Zhuo Lingfeng was going back to have a good rest. Of course, Li Yan understood this. This was also what he didn't look for when Zhuo Lingfeng didn't come after the one-year appointment.
reason.
If the deduction failed or was too difficult, Zhuo Lingfeng would have come over long ago. Since he did not come over to explain the situation, it means that they have already been immersed in it and studied the critical period.
Next, what Li Yan has to do is to wait. After Zhuo Lingfeng has fully rested, he can really start the sacrifice. Although Li Yan is anxious, some time must be spared.
You can't start refining a magic weapon when Zhuo Lingfeng is not in good condition when you are only 40% sure. That may be half the result with twice the effort. ??
Ten months later, when Zhuo Lingfeng appeared again, he was already at his peak, and there were some inexplicable feelings in his whole body. Li Yan guessed that it might be a manifestation of Zhuo Lingfeng's improvement in Dharma.
.
Zhuo Lingfeng didn't waste any time and took Li Yan directly into a secret room...
…………
Seven months later, a figure left Shamen Temple.
In the void, Li Yan stood on the "Cloud-piercing Willow" with his hands behind his back. He glanced at Zhuo Lingfeng who was standing in front of the main hall. He walked away with a calm expression and disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.
.
This time, I was really lucky to have Zhuo Lingfeng's help. Otherwise, Li Yan might not even be 20% sure about how to refine this magic weapon, and would have wasted those precious raw materials.
Zhuo Lingfeng is still the kind of person who is very affectionate and can make others feel at ease once entrusted to him.
That day, when Li Yan followed him into the weapon refining room, he was shocked because an old monk with long eyebrows was already sitting there.
Afterwards, Zhuo Lingfeng introduced the old monk with kind-faced eyes as his master, the temple-protecting monk Kukai Shenmon of Shamen Temple, a great monk in the late Nascent Soul stage.
It turned out that Zhuo Lingfeng was afraid that something would go wrong during his sacrifice, so he ignored the monk Kukai's retreat and called him over after directly transmitting a message.
This touched Li Yan's heart quite a bit. To be honest, although he already knew Zhuo Lingfeng's personality, but after meeting him in a foreign continent many years ago, he didn't expect that the other person would still have such a character.
Li Yan asked himself that if he encountered such a thing, he probably wouldn't be able to do what Zhuo Lingfeng did. He was cautious, and in some cases he even said he was a very small person. It would be a good thing if he didn't want to plot against others.
From this point, Li Yan could also see that Divine Monk Konghai had a special liking for Zhuo Lingfeng, his disciple. He exchanged a few words with Li Yan and was always in a good mood. It was very peaceful, and he even reminded Li Yan before refining it.
"Fellow Daoist Li, no matter what happens during the refining process, we can leave it all to Master and Disciple Lao Na, unless we ask for help from fellow Taoist!"
The meaning of his words was very clear, just ask Li Yan to stay quiet during the entire refining process.
Zhuo Lingfeng also suggested that Li Yan watch the weapon refining from one side. Otherwise, Li Yan could only wait outside. Zhuo Lingfeng was open-minded and wanted Li Yan to see the use process of his precious raw materials.
For the entire subsequent sacrificial refining process, Kukai Divine Monk asked Zhuo Lingfeng to do it. He would only take action when necessary. Obviously, this was to make Zhuo Lingfeng seriously understand this sacrificial refining method.
Li Yan didn't say anything about this, but the final result surprised Li Yan.
I don't know if it's because the techniques Zhuo Lingfeng and the others deduced are really strong, or because the three raw materials they prepared are very good.
After putting three pieces of the "Sinking True Dragon" of different sizes together and melting them into bone fluid, three and a half Vajrapani Bodhisattvas were finally produced. Including the original one, there were four and a half statues in total.
The reason why it is said that there is half a Dharma image may be that after the three Vajrapani Bodhisattvas were finally cast, the remaining bone fluid was not complete enough to cast another one, and in the end only a translucent and fuzzy Dharma image was sacrificed.
This dharma image can still be driven, but its power is much less than that of the four statues.
During the entire sacrificial practice, there were six violent fluctuations, whether due to the sacrificial practice or the fact that Buddhist images cannot be easily created.
Each time, the Dharma image actually produced the roaring sound of the Buddha on its own, shaking the surroundings and causing backlash to those who were offering sacrifices.
Thanks to Kukai Divine Monk's immense Buddhist power to suppress him, and at the same time reciting complicated and incomprehensible sutras that Li Yan could not understand, the angry-eyed Vajra slowly stabilized.
Zhuo Lingfeng, who performed the sacrifice with his own hands, also suffered internal injuries, but he could only continue to perform the sacrifice after swallowing the elixir.
At the last moment, when the four half-Vajrapani Bodhisattvas above the Buddha beads took shape and appeared, although they did not use the magic formula to activate them, the entire secret room made a heavy "bang bang bang" sound.
Even with Li Yan's strong body, at that moment, it felt as if his heart was about to be crushed by a huge force from outside. Every move he made was already very heavy, and he felt like he was struggling.
For this kind of suppression, Li Yan was very happy in his heart. This was just the pressure brought by the appearance of the law. Once he activated the magic formula to display it, ordinary Nascent Soul monks would probably not be able to resist it and could be easily suppressed by it.
At that moment, Li Yan also felt wary in his heart. With such a powerful Buddhist treasure, what would he do if Monk Kukai turned against him and wanted to kill people to seize the treasure?
There are other high-level monks in the temple. Once the other two temple-protecting monks attack at the same time, Li Yan is really not sure that he can escape with the treasure.
However, if that time comes, he will not hesitate to use all kinds of poisons, and will turn Shamen Temple into a land of death for thousands of miles.
But in his vigilant eyes, Divine Monk Kukai just smiled faintly and asked Zhuo Lingfeng to lead Li Yan out with the magic weapon that he had just successfully refined.
Zhuo Lingfeng must have also seen what Li Yan was thinking. After leaving the secret room, he reasoned that he would be leaving the temple soon and would not be able to accompany Li Yan.
The implication was that he was afraid that as soon as Li Yan finished refining the magic weapon, he would be too embarrassed to ask to leave directly, so he urged him to leave.
