Chapter 35: Nine Springs Outline

In the afternoon, the Cangli Tribe members temporarily staying in Zaomei Manor were busy walking, ready to set off.

In the battle of Burial Immortal Town, nearly a thousand tribesmen died, and countless alien coffins were lost.

Although that group of Buddha-Crossing Thieves had retreated, there were many strange and abnormal things among them. This matter was of great importance, and Cangli had to return to the tribe as soon as possible to report the detailed process to the elders in the tribe, and was also worried about further changes.

Because Gao Huan had a "congenital language barrier," he didn't communicate with anyone and boarded the carriage early.

He had a great talent for languages and was proficient in four foreign languages, so he didn't worry at all about the communication barriers he would face alone, and was confident that he would learn the language of this world in a short time.

Cangli and a group of tribal experts walked out of the manor.

Walking alongside him were two mysterious women wearing veils.

One of them was actually a pure immortal body, her skin was crystal clear like jade, and her personality was cold. Since meeting in the fog domain of the dead spirits, Cangli had never seen her speak.

Another woman was dressed in red, with white bone wind bells tied to her waist, her personality was cheerful, and she was extremely talkative.

They were "lost travelers" who had broken into the fog domain, named Qi Shanshan and Cai Yutong respectively.

It was Cangli who saved them.

Cangli had not seen a beautiful woman with a pure immortal body, but even among pure immortal body women, there was a gap in beauty.

He would never forget the amazement when he first met Cai Yutong. Being able to encounter such an opportunity to save beauty as a hero, although he encountered danger in this coffin fishing, but isn't it a blessing in disguise?

"We sisters are planning to go to Nine Li City first. If it’s not on the way, we won't bother the Young Tribal Chief..."

Before Qi Shanshan finished speaking, Cangli had already smiled: "The world is so coincidental. I am going back to the Cangli Tribe and am about to set off for Nine Li City. More importantly, going to Nine Li City itself has to pass through the Cangli Tribe. At that time, the two girls can be guests in my tribe first."

"The Young Tribal Chief not only has an extraordinary heroic posture but also a responsible heart for righteous actions, and is also enthusiastic and hospitable, treating people sincerely. This is the first time I have seen such a first-class man."

Qi Shanshan bowed, pulled Cai Yutong, and boarded the largest and most luxurious carriage at the front of the team.

When Gao Huan lifted the curtain and looked toward the front of the motorcade, the two women had already boarded the carriage.

Cangli stood upright by the carriage, tidying his clothes, and the nervousness that he didn't even have when encountering the supreme master of the Buddha-Crossing Thieves now appeared on him.

"We are about to set off immediately, where did that girl Li Ling go?" he asked.

An elderly Dharma-Wu cultivator behind him: "The fourth girl said, she has something temporary, let us not wait for her."

"Something? In Yao Guan, what can she have?"

Cangli knew his sister’s cultivation attainments and also knew that she had always had her own opinions, so he didn't ask any more questions. He tried his best to appear elegant and gentle, and then boarded the carriage.

Li Youyi drove the carriage alone, galloping on the solid dirt road along the river.

The Beast Li Tribe fishes for coffins several times a year, and walks on land more often than by water. Therefore, this dirt road was built very wide, with thousand-year-old willows and hundred-year-old giant mulberries planted on both sides.

Through the gaps in the rapidly retreating tree trunks, one could see one after another of the giant warships sailing on the wide water of the Sui River. The ships were full of alien coffins, and the Cangli Tribe members holding knives and soldiers were patrolling closely on the deck.

It was clear that Cangli took a small group of people to express his gratitude to the Beast Li Tribe, so he walked in front. The main body of the Cangli Tribe and the alien coffins were walking by water behind.

The carriage was slow after all. By the time Li Youyi could see Burial Immortal Town from a distance, the sky had darkened.

The sun set, leaving only the fiery red sunset in the sky.

"Zhao Lao said that the wild outside at night is extremely uneasy, and the dead spirits and evil spirits will become abnormally active, and may even encounter fierce insects and curses. It is at least two or three hundred miles away from the edge of the sea of blood, so it is better to stay in Burial Immortal Town for one night."

Li Youyi didn't know the strange legends of Burial Immortal Town, so he had no awe of it. It was just that too many people died here yesterday, making him feel slightly uncomfortable.

All the corpses had been cleaned up.

Only some small animals he had never seen before shuttled through the grass, licking the blood in the mud.

Arriving at Burial Immortal Town, Li Youyi got out of the carriage and walked forward, leading the sturdy horse.

The sky was darker, and the sunset had turned into a cold tone.

Faint mist, either slowly slipping out from the mountains and fields, or rising from the roaring Long-Killing Waterfall, made Li Youyi’s field of vision more and more blurry.

Li Youyi looked back vigilantly, always feeling that something was following him.

"Am I suspicious? This place doesn't look like a peaceful place, don't let any white-boned demons or camel bell ghost things pop out again."

On the side of the dirt road at the entrance of the town, there were many giant stone statues, stretching for several kilometers.

Their heads were huge, some weighing tens of thousands of catties, and some even hundreds of thousands of catties, all looking in the same direction.

Li Youyi felt that some were like the giant stone statues on Easter Island on Earth, so he stopped and looked in the direction they were looking.

In the distance, there was a towering mountain peak, shaped like a pyramid. Birds circled there, the clouds were low, and it looked extremely magnificent in the dark blue night.

Not only on the side of the dirt road, but also on the bank of the Sui River in the distance, there were countless giant stone statues.

"Burial Immortal Town... it can't really be burying an immortal, right?"

Li Youyi smiled to himself, leading the carriage, and walked into the desolate market washed dark red by blood. He didn't go deep, found a courtyard with relatively complete houses, and walked straight in.

Before long, a bonfire was lit in the courtyard.

In the night sky surrounded by mountains, it was like an abrupt lamp.

Li Youyi transferred bags of food from the carriage to the space in the Evil Camel Bell.

Since opening the third spring, he could activate the Evil Camel Bell to be larger.

"I don't know if I can summon that three or four-meter-high camel, I feel it can carry physical objects. In the bell, maybe there is a whole camel caravan..."

"Better to wait until the cultivation realm is higher before trying."

After transferring all the food, Li Youyi picked up the Evil Camel Bell and found that the weight had not changed significantly, realizing more and more the extraordinary nature of this object.

Being able to master this object, one can imagine that Yu Tuonan before his death must have been a quite extraordinary existence. But why was he not as famous as Chan Hai Guan Wu?

Sitting by the bonfire, Li Youyi took out a can of Jin Wu blood and took a big sip.

Suddenly, he realized that his ability to break through the realm so quickly was likely all due to the Jin Wu blood. The Jin Wu is not an ordinary bird, how precious is its blood?

The Dharma-Wu cultivators with top-tier talent in this world can open four springs after ten years of hard practice.

Even if Zhao Zhizhuo exaggerated the difficulty, it shouldn't be too outrageous.

He is just a mortal, not a deviant, let alone a pure immortal body, why is his cultivation speed so fast?

It might be because of the Jin Wu blood!

Li Youyi finally figured everything out and decided that this time when he returned to the bronze ship, he must bring more Jin Wu blood. It would be best to try to cut off dozens of catties of Jin Wu meat and Black Jiao meat.

He took out the cultivation classic "Nine Springs Outline" given by Cangli and read it carefully.

The cultivation method of the Spring-Gushing realm is not rare, as long as you have money, you can buy it in many places.

But the preciousness of the "Nine Springs Outline" lies in the unique understanding and experience of many Dharma-Wu powerhouses of the Nine Li Tribe recorded on it. Careful study can make young monks easier to open springs.

Cangli naturally knew that a mere "Nine Springs Outline" could not repay the great kindness, and promised Li Youyi that if he had needs in the future, he could provide him with cultivation methods above the Spring-Gushing realm.

The "Nine Springs Outline" was just a gift from a friend, not involving repayment of kindness and human feelings.

"The Dharma—internally generates magic power, leaves the body and turns into Qi."

"Dao, fruit, and nirvana are Dharma, omnipresent, filling the universe."

Li Youyi read and pondered.

He had learned some of the characters of this world from the senior sister, and he could understand three or four percent. He had to combine the pictures above to understand, which was more obscure than reading classical Chinese.

The general meaning of the outline is: Dharma is the energy of heaven and earth, spread throughout everything in the world, but low-level monks cannot see it or touch it.

Dharma is like water in the soil.

Monks use breathing techniques to guide "Dharma" to their side, and then open springs in their bodies, so that "Dharma" can be poured into the body from the springs, becoming the power to transform the flesh and be used by oneself.

The stronger the breathing technique, the more "Dharma" can be guided to the side in the same realm. When consumed violently, the persistence is stronger, and even one can fight for a whole day without magic power exhaustion.

The more springs opened, the more the flesh can be transformed, and the more magic power can be mobilized naturally.

"The Jade Void Breathing Technique should be very strong. Even on the night when I was chased by the thousand-headed dragon vine, it was only physical exhaustion, and the Dharma was not exhausted."

Li Youyi thought so in his heart, skipped the breathing technique recorded in the "Nine Springs Outline," and looked directly at the trace vein guide map behind.

On the guide map page, the left page is male, and the right page is female.

On the portraits of men and women, there are dense thin lines, white, red, silver, and gold, all extending from the nine major acupuncture points of the human body.

"The color and number of trace veins in everyone’s body are different?"

Li Youyi felt that he didn't need any trace vein guide map. Every time he opened a spring, he would fumble around, and more than a dozen silver trace veins would be born automatically.

Why is it so troublesome?

He was more interested in the nine springs mentioned in the "Nine Springs Outline," and really wanted to know where they were and how to open them.

The three springs he opened so far were all by mistake, without any rules.

If it weren't for the help of rare great medicine like Jin Wu blood, with his mortal mediocrity, being able to open one spring now would be a blessing from heaven.
