Volume 1: Wind Rising From the Mountains and Lakes Chapter 220: Retreat
I don’t know when the sun above my head became no longer scorching, and the wind on the sea became cooler day by day!
"The wind direction has changed -" Hall Master Jiao was like an old tree, nailed to the rudder. He raised his head and muttered silently. That wrinkled face is getting more and more frosty. [Search for the latest updates at.; "It's time for the maples to turn red in Jiulong Mountain!" On the balcony, Xu Zixuan held Mu Qing'er's arm and said softly.
Mu Qing'er lifted her hair, looked back at the setting sun, and sighed: "The Wolong Valley in the back mountain is full of luxuriant leaves and beautiful autumn colors!"
Hong An was leaning on the railing on one side, with a gloomy look on his face. Only when he heard the two beauties behind him talking, did he squeeze out a beautiful smile on his handsome face and said, "Are you two homesick?"
"You don't want to go home?" Mu Qing'er smiled mischievously.
Hong'an's expression dimmed, he waved his hands, and said mockingly: "How can I have a home once I'm down and out? I'll just end up in the world from now on!"
Mu Qing'er's pretty eyes flashed and she said with a smile: "The prince of Dashang, how noble is that? Why should you be so self-pitying? If you are willing to do this, you might as well join our Tianlong Sect!"
Seeing Mu Qing'er making fun of a down-and-out prince, Xu Zixuan felt inappropriate and secretly tugged on her sleeve.
"Haha! It doesn't matter. I just want to be bored all day long and tell jokes!" Mu Qing'er looked back and patted the back of Xu Zixuan's hand, smiling disapprovingly.
In desperation, Xu Zixuan pinched Mu Qing'er secretly with tenderness and anger, and the laughter of her two daughters could be heard on the balcony.
Hong'an didn't feel dissatisfied with this, and looked at the rare scenery in front of him with a smile, thinking to himself, this might also be a way to go! It would be great if they could be like those two brothers, with an immortal to rely on! His eyes looked toward the bow of the ship——
At this time, there were several people standing on the bow of the ship. They were none other than the bored Master and Disciple Zhen Yuanzi. The three of them felt that the cabin was stuffy, so they wandered around the ship when they had nothing to do.
"Master, when will the sea ship come to an end?" Yuan Qing looked a little impatient and couldn't help complaining.
Yuan Feng's face was darker than before. He clapped his fingers with a grimace and said, "Let me do the math, it's already mid-July. Since I left Jiulong Mountain of Tianlong Sect, I It’s been almost half a year since I’ve been on the sea like this, almost three months. I said, Master, aren’t you impatient?”
"Junior brother is right. This is not a boat trip. I am afraid that this world is made of water. It is like a mouse falling into a big water tank. We are afraid that we will never be able to get out again!" Yuan Qing Man was grinning, with a restless look on his face, and his sleeves were rolled up. He was completely different from the charming young Taoist priest before!
Zhen Yuanzi put his hands behind his back and stared expressionlessly at the sea. After hearing this, he turned around angrily and cursed: "Fart! Where did the certainty of you two little bastards go? You are a cultivator! This is not right. We've only been gone for a month, and you two can't bear to lose your temper without seeing the island or the land. Don't forget that you two are now considered real masters in the world. Masters must behave like masters, so don't belittle yourself. You're insulting my old reputation. Believe it or not, I'll tell your junior uncle about this, okay?"
"Hey, master, don't be angry! Isn't that what I said?"
"My two brothers are here to talk to Master to relieve his boredom. There is no need to bother Junior Uncle!"
"That's not right, Master. My junior uncle is still two or three years younger than me. How can he remain calm?"
"That's right. Junior uncle is hiding in his room and hasn't seen us much for a month. He won't be sleeping all day, right?"
Yuan Qing and Yuan Qing laughed and begged Zhen Yuanzi for mercy, but the conversation involuntarily turned to Lin Yi.
Zhen Yuanzi rebuked with some annoyance: "Your junior uncle is a real master. It is common for three or five days to meditate as a teacher, let alone someone like your junior uncle who is in the immortal way." According to rumors, it only takes ten and a half months for a person in the immortal way to meditate, and it only lasts for three to five months. For those with advanced cultivation, it is unknown whether it will take ten or a hundred years to meditate!"
Seeing that the two disciples were sleeping well, Zhen Yuanzi's anger softened a little, and he continued: "With your current martial arts skills, it doesn't matter if you don't eat or drink for two or three days. I have the method of fasting in the Baiyun Temple, and I can drink water in three or five days. Even if you don’t stick to rice, you won’t feel hungry in your belly. And the real inedi in the immortal way is like your little uncle, who is still full of energy after ten and a half months.”
As he said that, Zhen Yuanzi couldn't help but look back at the ship building. He hadn't seen Lin Yi for many days, but he firmly believed that Lin Yi was practicing and not sleeping as his apprentice said.
Thinking of this, Zhen Yuanzi became angry again, glared, and scolded: "How old is your junior uncle now! He has already achieved such a terrifying cultivation level, but he still doesn't dare to relax, every day You work hard every day, but you two little bastards are so lazy and annoying!"
Seeing that his master was really angry, Yuan Qing hurriedly apologized and said with a smile: "My two brothers dare not slack off. Don't you know, master? However, my uncle is a person of immortality, so naturally he is not comparable to ordinary flesh and blood. If it is I can also embark on the path to immortality..."
Yuan Feng wanted to echo, but when he saw Zhen Yuanzi's face turned cold, he was so frightened that he hurriedly shrank behind Yuan Qing in silence.
"Being ungrateful and having insatiable desires is a big taboo among people of our generation!"
Yuan Qing and Yuan Qing said sternly: "Don't dare to forget Master's teachings!"
Knowing the dispositions of his two disciples, Zhen Yuanzi stopped scolding them, but sighed and said in deep thought: "Everyone has his own way of living in this life, so we must be content with what we have. Not everyone can cultivate the immortal path, and only those with great opportunities and perseverance can do it. The ancients said that it is heaven that gives, gods that tell, and luck that makes it! The two of you have already opened your innate meridians, and you can expect to reach the pinnacle of martial arts right now, so why should you belittle yourself!"
…
When everyone on the ship felt bored and unbearable because of the endless wandering, Lin Yi stayed at home, immersed in another world, and never tired of it!
In a month, Lin Yi only ate twice, and sent someone to send food to his door. Since his identity was known to others and there was plenty of time on the sea, he had no scruples and concentrated on practicing.
After Lin Yi left Xianrending, his practice was intermittent. He felt that he had wasted a lot of time. Now that I have all the spiritual stones and elixirs on hand, I can take this opportunity to improve my cultivation and enhance my ability to save my life in the future.
I learned from Elder Jiang that Daxia is not entirely a paradise for cultivators. There are also people who bully the weak, there are also intrigues, and there are also life-and-death crises. This is also one of the reasons why some cultivators with low cultivation, such as Elder Jiang, want to stay away from Daxia.
Knowing that my cultivation is not good, it is better to go to the mortal world to be a living immortal than to be bullied and live in peace. In this way, I can also protect the village and be worshipped! It is better to be the head of a chicken than the tail of an ox, which is also a compromise for the way of being a human.
But Lin Yi doesn't think so. To go further on this road, you have to pay a hundred times and a thousand times, and constantly surpass yourself. The ancients said that God rewards hard work! No matter how far you go, you may stop your journey forever tomorrow, but you still can't give up.
Lin Yi closed his eyes slightly, formed a seal with his hands, and sat cross-legged on the couch. A white mist dragon was circling outside his body. After a moment, the white air like a flying dragon lingered at the Baihui point above his head, and slowly turned into a double dragon entering the water and disappeared into his body.
After another moment, Lin Yi's mouth curled up and he slowly opened his eyes.
After a month of hard training, two spiritual stones were consumed. At this time, Lin Yi's meridians were full of spiritual energy, eager to move. His sixth-level cultivation finally reached the threshold of breakthrough.
Spreading his palms, Lin Yi had a jade bottle in his hand, which was the Qi Gathering Pill given by Elder Jiang.
After thinking about it, Lin Yi's consciousness instantly spread over the ship, and there was no other movement on the ship.
Should I try the effect of the Qi Gathering Pill? Although the breakthrough of cultivation is imminent, he knows in his heart that it is still unknown when he will truly break through to the seventh level of Qi training. Not to mention that as the cultivation level improves, the demand for spiritual energy becomes more and more intense. It would be difficult to forcibly improve the cultivation level with only the spiritual stones in hand. Perhaps, the path of elixir is also an indispensable method in cultivation.
Pour out a Qi-gathering pill from the jade bottle. The pill is the size of a thumb, and the yellow pill is round and mellow, exuding a refreshing fragrance and strong spiritual fluctuations.
Raising his hand, Lin Yi looked at the pill in his hand curiously. A layer of faint light flickered on the pill, and it appeared and disappeared with his aura.
This is the Qi-gathering pill, a pill that can improve cultivation, and it looks the same as the pill left by Xuanyuan Zhenren. Lin Yi tilted his head and looked at the treasure in his hand carefully. Elder Jiang mentioned that this kind of pill is extremely popular in Daxia, and all Qi-cultivating cultivators are salivating over it and want to get it as soon as possible. However, a Qi-gathering pill is worth a lot of money, and it is obviously not something that everyone can afford.
Thinking of Elder Jiang's reluctance when he gave the pill, Lin Yi shook his head. If the Qi-Gathering Pill could really improve his cultivation, he would have owed the other party another favor.
Putting away his thoughts, Lin Yi calmly adjusted his breath for a moment, raised his head and swallowed the pill in his hand. He didn't have time to taste the pill, but felt a warm current wrapped in fragrance entering his stomach. In an instant, a very familiar feeling reminded him of the situation when he swallowed the purple crystal fruit. He was shocked and hurriedly closed his eyes and entered a state of tranquility, keeping one mind, concentrating his mind, and looking inward.
After the pill entered his stomach, it did not melt immediately, but slowly turned. Then, strong spiritual energy surged out of the pill and was instantly absorbed into the meridians. After circulating in the body, it gathered in the sea of qi.
The spiritual energy in the pill was like a tide, one wave after another, one wave higher than the other, rushing towards Lin Yi's limbs and bones...
After an hour, the spiritual energy of the pill was still constantly brewing in the sea of qi, and the vast and endless spiritual energy continued to flow in the meridians, but that kind of breakthrough in cultivation had not yet arrived.
After two hours, the pill slowly melted, and the spiritual energy in the pill gradually weakened. Lin Yi, who was sitting in meditation, frowned slightly, did not open his eyes, grabbed the jade bottle, and poured another pill into his mouth...
A day passed, and when the sun shone into the room the next day, Lin Yi on the couch was still sitting still. But a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
The effect of the two Qi-Gathering Pills still helped Lin Yi break through the sixth level of cultivation. However, he did not stop. As the spiritual energy in his body continued to circulate in his body, the 'Xuantian Heart Method' entered the practice of tranquility and concentration again.
After two more days, Lin Yi, who was sitting in meditation, exhaled lightly, and a gleam of light flashed in his eyes when he opened them. Now, his Qi-training seventh level cultivation has been initially stabilized after two days of continuous practice.
