There are three thousand worlds and infinite creatures. Mortals are like ants. Even if they are nobles and have a glorious life, they will still be just a handful of loess after a hundred years, dissipated in the long river of time.
Only the path to immortality, although the road is long and difficult, is contrary to nature, but it can break through the life limit, call the wind and rain, travel around the world, sit and watch the rolling river and be leisurely and contented.
However, when it comes to cultivating immortals, spiritual roots, mind, Dharma couple, wealth and land are all indispensable, otherwise it will be difficult to achieve great things.
Among these thousands of causes, spiritual power is the most fundamental thing. Without spiritual power, cultivation cannot grow, spells cannot be performed, life span cannot be extended, and it is difficult to travel thousands of miles, and living beings are just a part of the universe.
ephemera.
………………
The cold stone valley of Bishan State in Donghai Prefecture is a dangerous place in the eyes of ordinary people with crisscrossed natural chasms and wild beasts. Even the immortal masters enshrined in the palace cannot come and go freely.
Some people say that vicious and bloodthirsty monsters lurk here, others say that peerless masters live in seclusion here, and still others say that this is a place where evil cults keep their furnaces.
There are different opinions, they are all rootless trees, waterless ducks, what exactly is in the Cold Stone Valley, this mystery has been maintained for hundreds of years with endless rumors...
Deep in the Cold Stone Valley, Ye Qianming was walking in the mountains with a hideous, lifeless black wolf on his shoulders.
Although Ye Qianming is tall, slender and strong, he is still too thin compared to this black wolf.
However, Ye Qianming looked calm and did not feel any difficulty due to the size of the prey. He walked lightly and skillfully climbed over a hill and came to a hidden cave.
The cave looked normal from the outside, but after the jade pendant Ye Qianming wore on his chest flashed a burst of light, the appearance of the entire cave changed instantly, becoming a simple and mysterious cave.
Ye Qianming walked into the cave with his jade pendant. With the alternation of darkness and glare, when he came back to his senses, he was already standing in a quiet and elegant bamboo forest.
Walking along the bamboo forest path, you came to a courtyard built with green tiles and white bricks. A fox with fluffy hair and a body as white as snow poked its head out from behind the courtyard door and happily walked around Ye Qianming's feet.
Make a circle to welcome his return.
"Long time no see, Xiaobai." Ye Qianming touched the little fox's head, then put down the prey and bowed to the center of the courtyard's main entrance.
"Disciple Ye Qianming returned from an outing and paid his respects to Master."
After a while, an old and leisurely voice came from the courtyard: "No need to be polite, just act as if you respect your teacher, come in!"
"Yes!" Ye Qianming smiled knowingly and walked into the courtyard with his prey and Xiaobai.
After walking through the pebbled path and two hall doors, Ye Qianming came to a simple and tidy room. Upon closer inspection, many of the utensils placed in the room could make outside immortals extremely enthusiastic.
"Immortal weapon"!
There is a soft goose down bed on the balcony of the room, on which a slovenly old man with long eyebrows is lying on his side, drinking wine and admiring the scenery with the window open.
The old Taoist called himself "Old Man Cold Stone". Five years ago, he rescued Ye Qianming, who had just turned ten years old, and brought him here to take care of him like a free-range care. He led him on the path of cultivating immortality. Now Ye Qianming has reached the fifth level of Qi refining.
However, the old man is also a person with a wild personality and a childish innocence. He never cares about etiquette and rules, which makes Ye Qianming's words and deeds quite relaxed and without any scruples.
"Meet Master." Ye Qianming saluted the old man, but it was not so standard, so the old man didn't care and responded casually.
Old Man Leng Shi glanced at the black wolf corpse placed outside by Ye Qianming through the window and nodded.
"The first-order demon beast, the black-haired fang wolf, you can defeat it on your own with your fifth-level Qi refining skills. You are worthy of my advice."
"The 'Ghost Track' that my master taught me is indeed exquisite. Although this black-haired toothed wolf is quite agile, my apprentice can still dodge it properly. It's just that my 'Qingquan Palm' still lacks some firepower, so it doesn't pose much of a threat to monsters.
"
"It doesn't matter, this time is just to familiarize you with the feeling of fighting. Only those who are good at fighting can achieve the perfection of my "Three Cold Stone Skills". You still have a lot of training to do in the future."
"Apprentice remembers it."
"Well, the claws, hair and demon elixir of the black-furred wolf are all very useful. You can collect them later. Also, this is the jade slip of the 'Three Secrets of Cold Stone'. You can go back and understand it yourself.
If you don’t understand anything, come and ask me tomorrow...forget it, figure it out on your own!"
Old man Leng Shi said with a trace of determination flashing in his eyes.
"Finding the method on your own will be the theme of your future cultivation. I can't help you all the time!"
Ye Qianming felt that there was something in the old man's words, but he just took the jade slip obediently and asked: "Yes, Master...what do you want to eat tonight?"
"Oh, I almost forgot about the real thing!" Old Man Leng Shi licked his lips and said with a smile: "Tonight you go to the backyard to kill a duck, I want to eat the roast duck you made!"
"Apprentice understands."
"Well, let's go down."
"Apprentice resigns."
After Ye Qianming exited the house, he carried the black-furred wolf to an open field to break it down and pick it up for training, and obtained an intact black-furred wolf skin, a pot of sharp claws, and a purple-black demon pill.
"Well, these claws are very sharp and are made of fleshy ore, which can be used to make a good sword; this demon elixir is also a good material for alchemy, but the skin of this black-furred wolf is of no use to me, but it can be sold well in the mortal world.
Price."
Ye Qianming sighed. He died unexpectedly five years ago, and his soul traveled into the body of this child. The child's family encountered the Cold Stone Valley on the road and were wiped out by bandits. It was probably at that time that he took over the dead body.
After that, when Old Man Lengshi went out to collect medicine, the old man killed the bandits, rescued Ye Qianming, accepted him as his apprentice, and took him to a remote valley to practice.
Ye Qianming himself has a good talent, he also has past life memories, and his cultivation speed and understanding ability are far beyond the level of children, which makes the old man Leng Shi very satisfied.
In the past five years, Ye Qianming has absorbed everything the old man taught him one by one, and now he has the strength of the fifth level of Qi refining. This is because the old man Leng Shi first used medicinal bath pills to wash his marrow and bones, and it took three years to remove impurities.
The reason for formal cultivation.
In addition, Ye Qianming also had his first glimpse of the skills in weapon refining and alchemy, and he could handle formations and talismans. In addition, his experience in the novel about cultivating immortals in his previous life had not left him lacking in physical training, which made Ye Qianming feel very satisfied.
It was still early, so Ye Qianming was not in a hurry to cook for the old man, but returned to his small cave.
Ye Qianming's cave is built against a mountain. Although it lacks scenery, it is more secretive and secure, and it is located on a small spiritual vein. Needless to say, there are many benefits to cultivation.
Everything in the cave is simple, with only stone tables and wooden chairs, a training platform, a small alchemy furnace and a metallurgical platform. There was originally a bed here, but it was removed since Ye Qianming meditated every night.
.
Carefully close the door of the cave, and the restrictions on the door will automatically take effect, preventing outsiders from peeking in. However, you still have to put two talismans on it to feel at ease.
After five years, Ye Qianming naturally knew that Old Man Lengshi had no intention of doing such boring things as voyeurism and surveillance, but he tried his best to be careful because he had a huge secret that he could not reveal to others easily.
Ye Qianming adjusted his breath, sat cross-legged, and entered into meditation. For a moment, his consciousness quickly flew to the Dantian, passing through layers of pale golden spell restrictions, and finally entered a magical place.
This is a world of pure spiritual power. The spiritual power that needs to be mobilized and circulated in the outside world is directly transformed into objects visible to the naked eye and flows between heaven and earth.
This world of spiritual power is vast and vast. Ever since Ye Qianming discovered this place through meditation for the first time, he has wandered around countless times but still cannot reach the end. It is roughly estimated that the amount of spiritual power here is comparable to that of a small world.
After Ye Qianming's consciousness came here, the spiritual power in the world cheered as if it had consciousness, and surrounded Ye Qianming one after another.
"It's a pity that although I have a connection with this wonderful world, I can't use it at will."
Although the spiritual power of this world exists in Ye Qianming's body for some unknown reason, it is not Ye Qianming's property.
Ye Qianming once tried to take out the spiritual power from here for cultivation, but not only was the amount that could be taken out limited, and it had to increase with the level, but after Ye Qianming used the spiritual power to break through the fourth level of Qi refining, the spiritual power in his body slowly returned to the spiritual level.
In the world of power, he finally returned more than twice as much!
Fortunately, this process is slow. After Ye Qianming entered the fourth level, he absorbed the external spiritual power and transferred it into the inner world. It took half a month to complete. Fortunately, the realm was not lost.
When Ye Qianming advanced to the fifth level of Qi Refining, he also used this as an experiment and got the same result. Ye Qianming boldly deduced that this world of spiritual power was actually similar to the bank in his previous life!
He can borrow spiritual power from this bank to use it to achieve breakthroughs in cultivation, but he will also need to gradually give back his spiritual power to the bank later, with interest, which is more than twice as much.
"It's such a huge profit..." Ye Qianming said with emotion as he regained his composure.
This is his golden finger from time travel. When he breaks through the realm, he does not need to consider the problem of lack of spiritual power. Moreover, the spiritual power in this spiritual world has been tempered and is extremely pure, much better than the external spiritual power.
If this world lacks spiritual power in the realm of transforming gods and refining emptiness, I would have no worries.
Moreover, Ye Qianming discovered that as he continued to borrow and return, his total amount of spiritual power continued to expand, which was another benefit.
"But the size I can control alone is too small after all..." Ye Qianming shook his head. There was a spiritual mountain in front of him that he could not move. This really made people feel itchy and helpless.
"Chirp!" Suddenly there was a cry in the room. Ye Qianming quickly turned around and found that the fox Xiaobai was half-stuck in the bar of the door, calling for help.
"You naughty kid!" Ye Qianming couldn't laugh or cry. He lifted the restraint and brought Xiaobai in. The latter rolled around in his arms and was very affectionate.
This is the pet of Master Leng Shi, who has the ability to break restrictions and understand formations. Maybe he wanted to play with Ye Qianming, but he was stuck in the middle because of his lack of magical powers.
Ye Qianming looked at the fox in his arms and suddenly thought: "I wonder if the spiritual power in my body can be lent to others or spiritual beasts?"
Ye Qianming thought for a moment and decided to give it a try. He put his palm on Xiaobai's head, and a stream of pure spiritual power from his body poured into Xiaobai's spirit cap. The fox felt the increase in spiritual power and could not help but chirp in comfort.
And Ye Qianming's eyes were also a little excited, as expected!
He just now clearly felt that part of the spiritual power in the spiritual world entered Xiaobai's body, and it was not the part he could use, but another part.
What were you doing earlier? Ye Qianming wished he could give himself a slap.
"Does it mean that every being with spiritual power can take out his own part of this spiritual world and use it, but the owner of this world is me?"
Ye Qianming thought about many possibilities and took out a few more colorful stones.
This is somewhat similar to the Yuhua Stone he collected in his previous life. He originally came across these stones by chance when he came to this world, just for viewing and homesickness, but now they have become experimental subjects.
As a spiritual power is injected into them, these colored stones make a clear buzzing sound, and the whole body emits the light that only spiritual stones can have, and it is more pure!
"Very good, this doesn't use up that part of my spiritual power. It seems I guessed it right. I just don't know how to collect the spiritual power in this stone?"
Ye Qianming planned to try it himself. The spiritual power he borrowed when he broke through to the fifth level has been repaid with interest. The spiritual power in this spiritual stone is far less than the amount of energy he borrowed, so there will be no problem.
So Ye Qianming picked up two spiritual stones and began to absorb them. The absorption was completed in about ten breaths of time. This was because the speed at which he absorbed spiritual energy was trained by this spiritual power bank. The second reason was that he was cautious and did not absorb too much.
.
"It takes time to return spiritual power. Let's do something else now."
Ye Qianming then took out the jade slip and used his spiritual consciousness according to the method taught by the old man Leng Shi to unlock the restrictions. Lines of mysterious words came into his mind, with four big characters in the middle.
