Chapter 67: Innate Great Sun Divine Light
A few days later.
Red Leaf Island.
Inside a side room.
Spiritual energy surged around Chen Hang's body. With every breath he took, a cracking sound like a candle flame bursting was emitted, and then it grew louder and louder, just like a thunderclap gradually brewing, waiting for an opportunity to destroy all obstacles blocking his path! To beat them into collapse and ruin!
In an instant.
The entire room was vaguely shaking slightly. The vermilion beams trembled, shaking down wisps of invisible dust. On the table a few steps away, the white porcelain tea set jumped and rang, colliding to make a "ding-dong" sound like a flowing spring.
Fortunately, each side room was equipped with sound-insulating restrictions, so this movement did not disturb everyone's rest.
And as this gasping sound grew louder and louder, finally appearing as wisps of thunder light in the air.
It suddenly fell at its extreme, peeling away layer by layer...
With just a few heaves of his chest, Chen Hang's energy fell from the high sky to the deep valley, and the tyrannical meaning within it changed into a quietness that was continuous and lingering, like water flowing silently in a mountain stream.
After a few breaths, his entire energy subsided, and his breathing was already faint, almost negligible.
But when it was quiet to the extreme, it suddenly began to become lively again, like the arrival of the spring flood, the ice and snow melting, and the river rising.
Gradually, the thunderous sound of breathing began to echo in this side room again.
Just between this movement and stillness.
Chen Hang's energy fluctuated, sometimes as if clouds were rising and mist was being exhaled, sometimes as if he were hiding his form.
The acupoints in his body constantly cooperated with the Qi Cultivation decree, operating the flow of Qi pulses, coordinating their movement and transport, refining the pure spiritual energy from the outside world into his own embryonic breathing, and increasing his Daoist practice.
Just like this, another half day passed.
Chen Hang slowly withdrew from his stillness, opened his eyes, collected his entire body's energy, and a look of emotion appeared in his expression.
"What a great 'Movement and Qin Jingzhi Thunder Sound Guidance Method'! With its help, the process of refining spiritual energy for me has saved at least half of the previous hard work. This trip to the 'Golden Valley Market' was indeed worth it. Those disciples of major sects don't seem to be mediocre people at all!"
Chen Hang got up from the meditation cushion and moved his hands and feet casually, only feeling that his whole body was light and agile, as if riding on clouds and mist, with a sense of comfort and freedom.
Even his spirit was full and comfortable, as if he had broken through a circle of obstacles in front of him, and he was becoming more intimate with the void of heaven and earth.
This time of cultivation, he finally pushed his own practice from the third layer of Qi Cultivation to the fifth layer of Qi Cultivation, and he was not far from the sixth layer of Qi Cultivation.
Not only did the total amount of embryonic breathing in his body increase several times, but his combat power also increased several times as a result.
Chen Hang boasted that even though his Daoist practice was only at the fifth layer of Qi Cultivation and had not yet reached the perfection of the nine returns.
But in this vast "Golden Valley Market," in the Qi Cultivation realm, even if he were conservative, the number of people who could defeat him would be no more than ten, and perhaps even fewer.
If he encountered the Heavenly Demon tide again, dealing with it would be much more relaxed, at least he wouldn't be as embarrassed as before, and he would be able to retain more strength.
……
"If I could cultivate true qi before going to the Earth Abyss and transform my embryonic breathing into 'Tai Shi Yuan Zhen', then my chances of survival would increase a bit more."
Chen Hang shook his head.
The amount of embryonic breathing required for each layer of Qi Cultivation is different, and the further you go, the more you need.
In the "Movement and Qin Jingzhi Thunder Sound Guidance Method" that Chen Hang just obtained, there is a clear statement, and a brief summary was made in the opening chapter—
If the amount of embryonic breathing required for the first layer of Qi Cultivation is a small cup with a narrow mouth, which can be easily filled, the second layer is a water bag, the third layer is a pottery basin, the fourth layer is a soup cauldron, the fifth layer is a spring pool...
Each layer requires more embryonic breathing than the previous one, layer upon layer.
By the ninth layer of Qi Cultivation, it is like a lake or river, requiring countless amounts of embryonic breathing to be filled and achieved.
And that is only ordinary true qi, which requires such a quantity of embryonic breathing, not to mention that Chen Hang's "Tai Shi Yuan Zhen" is the ultimate in the world, with a high rank.
If the amount of embryonic breathing required for ordinary true qi is a lake or river, then "Tai Shi Yuan Zhen" need not be mentioned; only the Northern Sea could be a comparison.
Chen Hang sold almost all his talisman artifacts at the Treasure Gathering Pavilion, leaving only three mid-grade talisman artifacts: the Thunder Fire Thunder Pearl, the Purple Gold Demon-Breaking Hammer, and the Combined Vehicle, as well as a Universe bag.
Even the Flowing Cloud Ruler and the Green E-Painting were discarded by him.
But the talisman coins obtained, except for leaving one-tenth to purchase a flying sword, were all used for Qi Cultivation.
Even so—
It only pushed him from the third layer of Qi Cultivation to the fifth layer of Qi Cultivation, crossing only two layers.
But if an ordinary Qi Cultivator obtained these talisman coins, not to mention cultivating to the perfection of the ninth layer, from nothing to something, cultivating to the seventh or eighth layer of Qi Cultivation would certainly be more than enough...
At the thought of this.
Chen Hang felt it was quite a pity.
The shops and markets in the Southern Domain were all scared out of their wits by the bloody methods of the Hu Zhao Sect in those years, and when purchasing Daoist methods, they were all extremely cautious, fearing that one carelessness would lead them into a trap.
Such actions made it impossible for his True Yizhen Yizhen Fa Jie to fully display its capabilities.
Like the "Movement and Qin Jingzhi Thunder Sound Guidance Method," it is a Daoist art that controls the rhythm of breathing, mobilizes the internal organs, and accelerates the refining of spiritual energy.
Without the help of this method, in just two or three days, it would be absolutely impossible for Chen Hang to refine so many talisman coins.
This Daoist art was obtained on the day Chen Hang returned to Red Leaf Island from the Treasure Gathering Pavilion. On the way, he happened to meet a delegation from the Five Light Sect coming to observe the ceremony and offer congratulations.
In that delegation, there was a Qi Cultivation disciple who came to play with his elders, so Chen Hang easily copied it and simulated it in the True Yizhen Yizhen Fa Jie.
After repeatedly killing him dozens of times, the Daoist methods of that Five Light Sect disciple had mostly dropped, but the most suitable one for Chen Hang was this "Movement and Qin Jingzhi Thunder Sound Guidance Method."
Using the rhythm of breathing to mobilize the internal organs, between movement and stillness, it is like a great millstone, crushing the collected spiritual energy and grinding it into essence that is easy to combine with the human body—
Such a Daoist art that can assist in Qi Cultivation, if it could be sold, its value would definitely be no less than a mid-grade talisman artifact with fifteen restrictions, and perhaps even more.
And in the past few days, besides Qi Cultivation, Chen Hang had been searching everywhere in the "Golden Valley Market," and he didn't know how many Qi Cultivators he had invited into the True Yizhen Yizhen Fa Jie, and the Daoist methods he obtained were endless.
It's just a pity that the markets and shops in the Southern Domain have too many concerns, fearing that they will follow in the footsteps of the "Ten Thousand Treasures Tower" and the "Six Harmonies Society," which has cut off this path of gathering wealth.
Plus, Chen Hang didn't want to be discovered, so he had to put it aside for now.
"Yesterday, I obtained forty-three low-grade Daoist arts, but only one middle-grade Daoist art called 'Luo Knot Concentric Lock.' I don't know which senior created this. It is obviously used by Daoist couples for night talks, and it is useless to me. It was a waste of effort."
Chen Hang walked to the window with his hands behind his back, pushed open the half-covered small wooden window with carvings, and looked out at the rippling water, swaying like the sea.
At this time.
It was just when the moon was in the middle of the sky.
This side room of his was on the southwest side of Red Leaf Island. Just standing by the window, he could see a ten-thousand-acre lake, flat and round like a mirror. Vaguely, there were a few red-tailed golden carp, a zhang long, jumping out of the water from time to time, shattering the reflection of the moon and water, disturbing the clear waves.
The reason this lake is called Floating Jade Lake is that when the sun shines on the mist, the water light is blue and uncertain, like broken jade and exquisite, hence the name.
Although there is no sunlight now, the moonlight is clear and bright, the river of stars is clear, and the lake light is extremely cold and green, showing a different style from the daytime.
"Although I have obtained many Daoist arts recently, there are not many that are suitable. Just as Manager Hao Qingyan of the Treasure Gathering Pavilion said, the power of most middle and low-grade Daoist arts is inferior to talisman artifacts, and they are not as convenient as talisman artifacts—"
Chen Hang stood by the window, thinking silently.
These middle and low-grade Daoist arts are not only inferior to talisman artifacts in power, but also require great effort in cultivation, step by step, from minor completion, medium completion, to the final ultimate great completion, before the practice is perfect.
Although Chen Hang has the True Yizhen Yizhen Fa Jie in his hand, it is equivalent to "one day in the real world, ten days in the Yizhen Yizhen Fa Jie."
But facing these mediocre Daoist arts, he would not spend his energy to cultivate them one by one to the ultimate great completion.
At most, he would dabble in one or two, just to increase his knowledge, so that if he encounters them in the future, it will be easy to break them calmly.
After all, the True Yizhen Yizhen Fa Jie is at most "one day in the real world, ten days in the Yizhen Yizhen Fa Jie," and it is not enough to give him unlimited leisure.
And I heard that within the Eight Sects and Six Schools, there exists a "Cave Heaven," which can also change the flow of time, and in some aspects, it also has the same wonderful effect as his True Yizhen Yizhen Fa Jie.
……
"The most suitable for me should be those extremely dangerous high-grade Daoist arts that will lead to death if there is a mistake, and have extraordinary power..."
Chen Hang looked at the plain and cold lake scenery outside the window and thought to himself:
"It's a pity that the only high-grade Daoist art I have obtained so far is the 'Extreme Light Great Evasion' of the Hu Zhao Sect, left by the former owner of Tu Shan Ge. Without Dry Silver Star Ore as a guide, I can't cultivate it."
Dry Silver Star Ore is refined from the essence of stars outside the sky and has always been extremely precious.
And the cultivators who can rush out of the Qi circle to collect star essence outside the sky are at least Great True Persons. The combination of these two makes Dry Silver Star Ore even more precious.
In the past few days, Chen Hang had also inadvertently inquired about the news of Dry Silver Star Ore, but the answers he got were all without exception.
This item is only occasionally sold outside in the Northern Domain where the Hu Zhao Sect is located. A piece the size of a finger costs thousands of Dharma coins, and it is priceless, rarely seen.
Chen Hang, who heard this news, could only put this thought aside for now and concentrate on finding Qi Cultivators, copying them into the True Yizhen Yizhen Fa Jie, to seek Daoist arts.
But who would have thought that in the past few days, although he had obtained many middle and low-grade Daoist arts, there were not many that were suitable. The most beneficial one for him was actually the "Movement and Qin Jingzhi Thunder Sound Guidance Method" from the Five Light Sect that assisted in the Qi Cultivation process.
As for high-grade Daoist arts.
He hadn't even seen one...
At the thought of this.
Chen Hang couldn't help but shake his head slightly.
And at this moment, the door next door suddenly slammed, and then there was a sound of a heavy object falling to the ground. After a few breaths, there was a burst of snoring even more violent than thunder.
"Isn't that the door to Senior Sister's room next door? What's the noise?"
Chen Hang was slightly startled and pushed open the door.
Just one look, and he saw a round, fat girl like a piglet lying in the corridor. She didn't even realize she had been thrown out, sleeping with her limbs spread out, drooling all over the floor.
"Qingzhi? Was she kicked out because her snoring was too loud?"
Seeming to hear the movement, Qingzhi subconsciously reached out to hug, Chen Hang stepped back, and the girl grabbed nothing.
Seeing that she hadn't grabbed anything, Qingzhi mumbled ignorantly, turned over, and continued to sleep soundly.
"You are so noisy, I have no other choice."
That snoring was even louder than when he used the "Movement and Qin Jingzhi Thunder Sound Guidance Method." If it weren't for the sound-insulating restrictions in each room, the people in this entire building wouldn't have a moment of peace.
Chen Hang shook his head, took a dark green crane cloak from his Universe bag, draped it over her, and stopped caring.
He closed the door.
That thunderous snoring was also isolated outside.
At this time, the full moon had not yet set in the middle of the sky, and it was the time when the night was fading.
Chen Hang sat on the meditation cushion, took out a talisman coin, and continued to refine it.
It wasn't until the morning light was bright and the warm sun was high that he collected his energy and got up from the meditation cushion.
"It's time to go to the various markets to try my luck. I don't know if I can still meet the delegations from the major sects who came to observe the ceremony today. If there are Qi Cultivation disciples among them, that would be even better."
Chen Hang chose a mask different from yesterday from the dozens of masks in his Universe bag, changed his body's energy with the Scattered Scene and Restraining Form Art, and then pushed open the door and walked out with big strides.
In the corridor, Qingzhi was still snoring soundly, draped in his dark green crane cloak.
Chen Hang laughed, stepped over her feet, and after leaving the inn, turned into a white evasion light and flew towards a small island in the southwest, disappearing without a trace.
And not long after he left.
Wei Lingjiang also pushed the door and came out.
Seeing Qingzhi still snoring in the corridor, she was first helpless, and then her eyes fell on the dark green crane cloak draped over her, and she was slightly startled.
"This is..."
The door to Chen Hang's room next door was already tightly closed.
Wei Lingjiang hesitated again and again, but the hand that wanted to knock on the door finally put down, just silently collecting the crane cloak.
When Qingzhi was finally shaken awake with force.
Seeing that she was sleeping in the corridor, the girl was furious. It wasn't until Wei Lingjiang promised her two extra meals today that she turned anger into joy.
"However, I slept here all night last night..."
Qingzhi looked suspicious: "Why isn't it cold at all?"
"Probably because your skin is thick." Wei Lingjiang's expression remained unchanged.
Qingzhi was so angry that she bumped her head against her, but was dodged by Wei Lingjiang, who then held her in her arms.
"Wait, are we going out to play?"
Seeing Wei Lingjiang holding her and walking out of the inn, Qingzhi's eyes lit up:
"Let's go eat the venison buns from the day before yesterday! Eat buns! I'm starving to death!"
"I just had a sudden whim, it seems..."
Wei Lingjiang just frowned slightly: "It seems that if we go southwest, we might get something?"
"Nonsense! Your spiritual body is only in the Qi Cultivation realm, not your true body at the third layer of Cave-Mystic!"
Qingzhi laughed and mocked, but before she could laugh for a few sentences, her mouth was covered by Wei Lingjiang.
Afterwards, a green evasion light also soared into the sky, also flying towards the southwest.
……
……
Accumulation Rock Island.
People coming and going.
In front of a fairly large fish stall.
Chen Hang, who had been wandering for a long time, suddenly stopped, his eyes staring blankly at a scaleless white fish.
Just now, he had subconsciously scanned the surroundings with the "Maha Victory Secret Light Concentration."
But he didn't expect.
He actually saw this thing.
【High-grade Daoist Art: Innate Great Sun Divine Light】——
That scaleless white fish was swimming freely in the live water. Even if he used embryonic breathing to perceive it, its whole body was flesh and shell, and there was no foreign object at all.
But clearly——
"Senior, you've been looking for a long time. Do you want to buy this fish? This fish is a White Sand Spirit Fish. The meat is the most smooth and refreshing, and there are no big thorns."
At this time, the owner of the fish stall, a young man who had just grown a beard, came over with a smile and scooped it out of the live water:
"Senior, if you want it, it only costs half a talisman coin!"
……
And at the same time.
On the other side.
Wei Lingjiang was holding a rusted iron can, also in a trance.
"This——"
"The can was left by my old woman before she died. I heard it was a talisman artifact with two restrictions, but now it's useless!"
The owner of the iron can was an old man with a full head of white hair. He put down his pipe, bared his yellow teeth, and smiled:
"If the girl is sincere, half a talisman coin is a deal!"
"Is the price too low?"
Wei Lingjiang hesitated.
For a moment, she actually had an illusion, as if the demeanor of the owner of the pottery can when he spoke was quite like a senior in her sect she knew?
But this feeling came quickly and went quickly, and even Wei Lingjiang didn't take it seriously.
"Not low, not low!"
The old man smiled again: "My thing is only sold to those who are destined!"
