Chapter 187 Mysterious Qi Cold Flame Technique
Xiao Lin looked at the jade slips on the bookshelf in front of him, but his face showed a thoughtful expression.
When he first embarked on the road of cultivation, no one gave him any advice, and the practice method he practiced was also an opportunity he got by chance. After testing his spiritual roots in the Immortal City, he realized that his five elements of spiritual roots were pitifully low.
However, after testing his hidden spiritual roots, he was able to make a comeback. The spiritual points of the ice attribute were thirty-four, which was the attribute with the highest spiritual points among his nine spiritual root attributes.
This also made Xiao Lin understand why he was not too slow in practicing the Dry Water Sutra. The ice attribute was considered a variant spiritual root of the water attribute. In a sense, Xiao Lin, who had a true spiritual root of the ice attribute, was most suitable for the practice methods of the two attributes of ice and water.
This also made Xiao Lin feel fortunate after knowing this reason. His fate of being an immortal was relatively compatible. The Dry Water Sutra was just a basic practice. After practicing to the tenth level, especially after he established his foundation, the mana in his dantian had all turned into liquid.
After building the foundation, the mana in Xiao Lin's dantian was further compressed and purified, and it had returned to a state of no attribute. This is also the reason why many cultivators will re-select their main practice after building their foundation.
So Xiao Lin thought whether he should also practice an ice-attribute main practice.
Among the dozen or so practices on this bookshelf, three are of ice attribute, which is already the most of the same attribute among these dozen practices.
However, Xiao Lin thought that his master's main practice seemed to be of ice, so this could explain why there were the most ice-attribute practices here.
Among the nine attributes, the attack power is naturally fire, gold, ice, and thunder. For powerful attack techniques, the requirements for the richness of mana are higher. Xiao Lin took the jade slip of the technique called "Xuanqi Hanyan Jue" from the bookshelf.
Holding it in his hand, Xiao Lin closed his eyes and silently browsed the contents inside.
After more than half an hour, Xiao Lin opened his eyes and picked up the other two techniques, browsing them one by one. The other two techniques are called "Huanhai Bingquan Jue" and "Miemo Hanguang Lu".
After spending nearly two hours to roughly browse through these three ice-attributed techniques, Xiao Lin's eyes flashed with a thoughtful light.
Of these three techniques, the easiest one to practice is undoubtedly the "Huanhai Bingquan Jue". Just like the Dry Water Sutra that he practiced in the Qi Refining Period, this type of technique is to be practiced step by step, and the safety factor is also the highest. As long as you practice step by step, the probability of problems occurring in the middle is not high.
The disadvantage is that this type of technique is also very moderate in power, not impatient or impatient, and belongs to the category of being inferior to the best but better than the worst.
The second is the "Demon-Slaying Cold Light Record", which records a secret technique of destroying the cold mysterious light of the demon. Once practiced, the mana in the body will be transformed into extremely cold mysterious light, with a cold and overbearing attribute, and it also has the effect of restraining the demonic energy cultivated by the demon cultivators.
The disadvantage is that this technique is difficult to practice. It requires finding a place of yin and evil and practicing for decades. In addition, it is very easy to attract the invasion of the heart demon during the practice, leading to the devil.
Once practiced, this type of technique is also extremely overbearing and terrifying. It definitely has the upper hand among the cultivators of the same level. When facing the demon cultivators, it will be more likely to be one-sided due to the attribute restraint when facing the demon cultivators of the same level.
As for the "Xuanqi Hanyan Jue." After practicing, you can condense the "Xuanqi Hanyan", which is an extremely cold flame. Once this flame is practiced, it can not only temper your own body and strengthen your flesh, but also further temper the mana in the Dantian Qi Sea. After tempering to the extreme, you can accumulate mana again and temper it again, and repeat it over and over again, and in this process, the size of the Dantian Qi Sea will continue to expand.
After three times of returning to the origin and nine times of tempering until the "Xuanqi Hanyan Jue" is completed, the Dantian Qi Sea will be more than twice the size of an ordinary cultivator, and your own mana will be several times that of a cultivator of the same level.
However, the shortcomings of this method are also very obvious, that is, due to the accumulation of a lot of mana, and it also has to go through three yuan and nine tempering, which leads to a slower practice.
Three yuan and nine refining corresponds to the three stages of foundation building, the early, middle and late stages. Three yuan and nine refining means that the Dantian Qi Sea has returned to the origin three times, and the mana in the body has reached several times that of an ordinary cultivator after nine temperings.
It is precisely because after practicing this technique, the amount of Dantian mana is extremely terrifying, so it is extremely difficult to practice it. After all, the purpose of practicing Taoism is to break through the realm and increase lifespan, but this technique is the opposite, focusing on building the foundation and refining the body, refining the mind and condensing the method, laying a solid foundation for the subsequent practice.
Especially after the three yuan and nine refinements, one must experience a self-explosion of the sea of qi to enter the state of foundation building. According to the introduction in the jade slip, once this "Xuanqi Hanyan Jue" is practiced and enters the state of foundation building, the success rate of condensing the golden elixir will be at least 10% higher than that of ordinary foundation building cultivators.
Seeing this, Xiao Lin's face showed an uncertain look. This 10% probability was still very attractive to him. For a cultivator in the Qi Refining Stage, there was about a 10% probability of success in building the foundation, but for a cultivator in the Foundation Building Stage, this probability would suddenly drop to about 1%.
This probability was extremely despairing. Xiao Lin believed that with his true spiritual roots, it was definitely not an easy thing to condense the golden elixir. If he practiced this "Xuanqi Hanyan Jue" and increased the success rate of forming the elixir by 10%, it would be a great fortune.
However, the "Three Yuan Nine Refining and One Explosion" that he had to go through to practice this technique still made him quite afraid. Every time the Dantian expanded, it was an extremely painful process, and it was also full of dangers in this process, especially the final self-explosion. If he was not careful, he would really detonate the Dantian and turn it into ashes.
Xiao Lin was in a dilemma. He would never choose the "Demon-killing Cold Light Record". Xiao Lin thought he was not a gentleman, so he would not do anything stupid. This technique designed to restrain the demon cultivators was naturally not in his eyes, not to mention that he had to find a dark place and practice hard for decades.
So Xiao Lin set his final goal on the two techniques of "Xuanqi Cold Flame Jue" and "Huanhai Ice Spring Jue".
In Xiao Lin's opinion, one of these two techniques is safe and the other is dangerous. In the later stage of practice, one is difficult to form a pill, and the other is relatively easy to form a pill.
After struggling for half an hour, Xiao Lin gritted his teeth secretly, took the jade slip of the "Xuanqi Cold Flame Jue" technique in his hand, and then turned and walked out of the side room.
Outside the side room, Su Qingyun, who was sitting cross-legged on the futon in the middle of the study, opened his eyes.
"Disciple has chosen this Xuanqi Hanyan Jue." Xiao Lin bowed respectfully to Su Qingyun and said.
Su Qingyun's face flashed with surprise, and he said lightly: "This technique was obtained by me in an ancient relic. Among my ten disciples, you are the first to choose to practice it. Even I, although I also practice ice-attributed techniques, dare not try this Xuanqi Hanyan Jue. After all, the final self-destruction of Dantian Qi Sea is extremely dangerous. Are you sure you choose this technique?"
"Yes, disciple is sure. Master once said that people like us who practice Taoism are going against the will of heaven and fighting for our lives. This process itself is extremely dangerous. In order to go further on the road of Taoism, some risks must be taken." Xiao Lin said respectfully.
Hearing this, Su Qingyun showed a look of surprise on his face, nodded and said: "Yes, I didn't expect that your heart to pursue the Tao is so firm. Among the ten disciples of the master, you are definitely the one with the most firm heart to the Tao. At such a young age, you are so cruel to yourself, which shows that you are a material for cultivation. However, determination is one aspect. Whether you have the strength and opportunity depends on your own luck. Just don't regret it in the future."
"Disciple will never regret it." Xiao Lin said with a firm face.
"Very good, since you have chosen the cultivation method, go and open up your cave. Remember, the address of the cave must be within a hundred miles of our sect, so that even if someone troubles you, the sect will know immediately and go to help. In addition, this set of fog sea and blue water array flags will be given to you for opening up the cave."
"Although this set of fog sea and blue water array flags has no effect on blocking or attacking the enemy, it can transform the surrounding scenery and confuse people's minds. The most important thing is that once someone approaches, it will warn, which I think will be of some use to you."
"Thank you, Master." Xiao Lin took the three palm-sized flags from Su Qingyun with a happy face and happily put them into the storage bag.
"Okay, the road of cultivation still depends on you to go on, take care of yourself, you can leave." Su Qingyun said, closed his eyes and entered into meditation.
Hearing this, Xiao Lin bowed respectfully to Su Qingyun, then turned and left the side room.
After leaving, Xiao Lin left Qingning Hall. He did not see the cute little girl along the way. Xiao Lin judged that the little girl should be the daughter of this master, that is, his junior sister, from the fact that the little girl looked a bit like Su Qingyun.
Thinking that he suddenly had a lot of fellow apprentices and this junior sister, he couldn't help but smile, then patted the storage bag on his waist, and the Seven Blades Slash turned into a light green aura that directly wrapped Xiao Lin in it, then rushed into the sky and flew out of the mountain.
Originally, he was thinking about whether to go to the Tibetan Dharma Hall to see if there was a suitable technique for him, but after thinking about it for a while, Xiao Lin gave up. Since he had already chosen this "Xuanqi Hanyan Jue", Xiao Lin decided to use it as his main technique.
Moreover, he also had "Qingyan Baozhuan", these two techniques were enough for him to practice, and Xiao Lin also knew that he could not chew too much, so he decided to go directly to find a place to open up his own cave.
Xiao Lin controlled the Seven Blades Slash and galloped through the sea of clouds in the mountains. He felt extremely relaxed. He had originally been quite resistant to Su Qingyun, but after getting to know him, he found that his master was not difficult to get along with. The "Xuanqi Hanyan Jue" alone was invaluable.
In this way, not only did he have the support of Su Qingyun, but he also obtained a main cultivation method that suited his attributes. This made Xiao Lin in a good mood, and it was more interesting for him to appreciate the beautiful scenery of the fairy mountain in front of him.
