Chapter 345 The Legend Ends
"Okay, I have taught you all the Soul Pill Methods. Remember two things!"
"First, practicing this method is extremely dangerous. It is not a quick method. It takes time to slowly polish it and pay attention to a natural process."
"Otherwise, even if you have a secret treasure, you may not be able to protect your soul from being affected."
"Second, although this method can increase the success rate of forming a pill, it is not necessarily successful."
"In any case, your own cultivation is always the most important. Don't spend too much time on this method and delay your own cultivation. That is putting the cart before the horse."
A few words of advice directly touched Li Qing's heart. He solemnly clasped his fists towards the other party and said:
"Thank you for your teachings, Senior Wu Yuan. I will keep it in mind!"
Li Qing's tone was extremely respectful, and this respect came from the heart.
Since he started practicing Taoism, he has not met many elders who are worthy of respect. Zhou Lao, who used to be in the Liu family, is one of them, and this Senior Wu Yuan is definitely one of them!
"Okay, let me finish the last part of my life alone." Elder Wu Yuan said casually, not taking the impending deadline into consideration.
Those who dare to face death calmly always look so great.
Li Qing finally clasped his fists towards the ice prison again, and then slowly withdrew from the deep and bone-chilling ice prison.
As Li Qing's footsteps disappeared, the entire ice prison fell into a dead silence. The devilish crying and laughing that used to resound never sounded again.
After leaving the ice prison, Li Qing took a deep look behind him and couldn't help muttering:
"He is really a great man. His path should have been extremely brilliant. If he hadn't been so eager to succeed and practiced this soul pill method, my Lingyun Sect might have had a new supreme elder because of this."
If Elder Wu Yuan's practice didn't go wrong, could he have formed a pill in this life?
Li Qing didn't know. No one could say for sure what hadn't happened.
But the other party is undoubtedly a genius. Even if he fell into a state of madness, he still became a living legend in the sect.
It is precisely because of this talent that the other party was so brave when he was young, and even a little too conceited. He was not satisfied with the status quo and directly chose a forbidden secret method to practice, hoping to directly advance to the Jindan stage.
If Elder Wu Yuan practiced to the false elixir stage step by step, and then spent time looking for condensed elixir spiritual objects, the result might really be very different.
Seeing the other party's example, Li Qing was more convinced of one thing, that cultivation requires one step at a time, and never be greedy for merit and rush.
"The truth is in the down-to-earth place!"
After saying that, Li Qing flew out of the ice prison and returned to his cave.
In this way, a few days passed, and the Qi Refining disciples who were responsible for guarding the ice prison soon discovered something wrong.
"Hey, have you noticed that the ice prison is a little different these days?"
"It seems to be true now. I always feel that it is a little different from before."
"Wait, that crazy old man doesn't seem to have gone crazy these days? I haven't heard his crying and shouting."
When the last words came out, all the disciples realized this matter. No wonder it was unexpectedly quiet these days.
After staying here for a long time, they were a little uncomfortable without hearing the devilish crying and laughing for a while.
"Did something happen? Should we go in and take a look?!"
Several people looked at each other. No one wanted to go deep into the deepest part of the ice prison. What if the devilish crying and laughing sounded again?
That was the cry of a late foundation-building cultivator, and the voice also carried the power of the soul. They, ordinary Qi-refining disciples, would definitely be greatly affected.
"Why don't we go and have a look? At worst, we can just leave after the crazy old man starts crying. As long as we don't stay too long, there shouldn't be any problem."
In this way, several disciples thought about it and finally chose to draw lots, picking an unlucky guy to go and investigate the situation.
Not long after, the unlucky old man who was responsible for investigating the situation rushed out of the ice prison in a panic.
"Something big has happened. The crazy old man seems to have woken up! He was just talking to me!"
"What?! There is such a thing!"
"Quick! Go and report to the elders!"
"."
A stone caused a thousand waves, and the entire Lingyun Sect was shaken by the fact that Elder Wu Yuan woke up.
"How is it possible that the crazy elder has actually woken up?!"
"So this is true? I always thought it was just some strange rumors in the sect and couldn't be true."
"I heard that the old senior was named Wu Yuan and was once a genius in the sect."
"."
In the Yunxiao Hall, Master Xuyun, who learned about this, couldn't sit still. He rushed out without saying a word.
Master Xuyun, who has always been calm, was now full of panic. There was no trace of the master's senior brother.
He was very fast and didn't take too long at all. In a blink of an eye, he rushed to the ice prison.
The disciples on duty recognized the master at a glance. Before they even greeted him, Master Xuyun rushed into the ice prison.
"Brother Wu Yuan, is that you? You woke up?!" Master Xuyun's voice trembled slightly, and he couldn't believe it.
After a long time, a voice that was extremely old and weak came from behind the ice door made of thousands of years of black ice.
"Haha, maybe God has opened my eyes and allowed me to regain consciousness in the last few days of my life."
"Junior Brother Xuyun, I haven't seen you for many years. You have aged so much. In my impression, everything seems to be just yesterday."
The tone of Elder Wu Yuan was somewhat miserable. He lived for only three hundred years, and he had spent nearly half of his life in madness.
Hearing this, Sect Leader Xuyun burst into tears. He stretched out his hand tremblingly and said at the same time:
"Senior Brother, I will let you out now. The sect still has a life-extending medicine that will definitely help you live a little longer."
However, Elder Wu Yuan refused him.
"Don't waste the resources of the sect for me. I know my situation. I am already a candle in the wind, with oil running out and lamps running out."
"I don't have much time left. Let me sit here quietly. I am ashamed of the sect and have no face to see my former brothers and sisters again."
"For me, perhaps this is the best destination, hehe."
Bang!
As soon as these words came out, Sect Leader Xuyun immediately collapsed on the ground, his face full of sadness.
He could hear the determination of Elder Wu Yuan. If a person is determined to die, then there is really no way to save him. Even if he is given the Nine Revolutions Immortal Pill, it may not be able to save him.
"It's all over, Senior Brother. It's all over."
"."
A few days later, a body that looked like a withered body and did not look like a human at all was carried out of the ice prison.
Sect Master Xuyun personally buried it in the back mountain of the sect.
The funeral was very simple, and even a few disciples knew about it. However, many important elders of Lingyun Sect were present.
For example, the most mysterious elder of the Refining Hall, the chief elders of the Talisman Hall and the Alchemy Hall, and some elders who had been in seclusion for many years to plan to form an elixir, were all present.
"Brother Wu Yuan, have a safe journey."
"If your spirit is still in heaven, please go and apologize to Sister Caiyun in person."
"With us in the sect, you can rest assured on this journey."
"."
The legendary figure of Lingyun Sect ended quietly, completely unlike the vigorous and high-spirited man in the sect who attracted worldwide attention.
On the other hand, Li Qing, who had inherited the Soul Pill Method, naturally began to try to practice it as soon as possible.
However, the result was not satisfactory, and he couldn't even get started now.
"The difficulty of practicing this method is too high. Every time I split the power of the soul, I felt that my soul almost collapsed."
"No wonder Elder Wu Yuan fell into a state of madness. It's too scary."
Li Qing sighed, and then immediately picked up the Soul Nurturing Bell and began to warm up his slightly damaged soul.
"This method probably requires at least the soul of the late foundation building stage to practice. In my current state, let alone condensing the soul pill, it is difficult to even separate the power of the soul."
After a crisp bell sound fell, Li Qing's soul slowly recovered.
To be on the safe side and not leave any sequelae, he also took out one of the few thousand-year-old Tianxing grass from the storage bag and took it directly.
There is no way, after all, there is the lesson of Elder Wu Yuan, and he doesn't want to repeat the same mistake.
Not willing to take any risk, this is his practice concept!
"Forget it, wait until the middle stage of foundation building to try to practice, anyway, even if I condense the soul pill, it is impossible for me to start trying to form the pill now."
"This method will be left for the future. Now the most important thing is to pass on the second-level refining to Wu Tou, and it is the hard truth to refine the Tianluo Banner as soon as possible."
After speaking, Li Qing took the Tianxing grass, and then continued to refine the medicinal power of the thousand-year-old spiritual grass to nourish his own soul.
Without a soul comparable to the late stage of foundation building, he definitely did not intend to continue practicing this forbidden secret method.
After his soul was strengthened again, he took out the second-level refining inheritance and began to meditate on it.
If a top-grade magic weapon could be successfully refined, his combat power and self-protection ability would definitely be greatly improved again!
