Seven years later, on the second floor of Penglai's Ends of the Earth Restaurant.
In front of Shi Xuan was a string of beads that emitted a cold light. It was made up of seven identical beads that seemed to be condensed with frost. But if one looked closely, one would find that each bead had a different depth of black. The luster was like flowing water, rippling and rotating, appearing vast, cold and deep.
Picking up the string of beads, Shi Xuan felt refreshed. There was not the slightest bit of piercing coldness. Instead, it was like drinking a mouthful of ice-cold water in the hot summer. It was comfortable, satisfied, and peaceful. It was the Two-tribulation Pure Yang magic treasure, the Abstruse Yin Seven Water Beads.
But Shi Xuan did not feel happy. Instead, he sighed with a slightly serious expression, "Zhenren Jiang, Wan'er, why do you have to risk your lives like this? It makes me feel uneasy."
Zhenren Jiang and Chu Wan'er, who were sitting opposite him, looked pale and their breaths were in disorder. Even with the strong recovery ability of Primordial Spirit Perfected Ones and the many healing elixirs, they still could not maintain a calm appearance on the surface. It showed how seriously injured they were, especially Chu Wan'er. Her Primordial Spirit was swaying, like a candle in the wind that could be extinguished at any time.
"Shi Xuan, you are willing to take a great risk for your sect. So what if Lao Dao risked his life a little? In fact, Lao Dao is not seriously injured. At most, he will recuperate for two to three hundred years. But Wan'er has suffered. I'm afraid she will have to be reincarnated and start all over again. It was not easy for her to become a Primordial Spirit. In less than thirty years, almost all her previous efforts were wasted. Lao Dao really should not have agreed to go with her. "
Speaking of this, Zhenren Jiang smiled bitterly and sighed, "Alas, if I didn't bring her along, Lao Dao would have most likely died in that cave at the last moment. Thanks to her help, we can successfully obtain the Abstruse Yin Seven Water Beads. "
Before the New Year, after condensing the Merit Tower of Heaven and Earth and making other preparations, Zhenren Jiang wrote a letter to the Guanghan Sect, explaining to Meng Nishang the reason for taking the treasure in advance. Then, he took Chu Wan 'er and went to the Yang God's Cave in the West Wilderness. Who knew that although the space inside was broken and the cracks had calmed down a lot, the immortal formation was still dangerous. If it weren't for the Merit Tower of Heaven and Earth, which was difficult to penetrate by immortal spells below the Fifth Stage, and the Five Elements Rinsing Bell, a Three-tribulation Pure Yang Magic Weapon, the two of them would have almost died.
When they were retrieving the Abstruse Yin Seven Water Pearl, they relied on Chu Wan 'er's profound Time Immortal Art. The two of them paid the price of heavy injuries before they successfully retrieved the treasure and escaped under Spiritual Master Jiang's protection. However, their cultivation was different. The same serious injury, for Zhenren Jiang, was not fatal, but for Chu Wan'er, it was difficult to cure. She could only barely return alive. If she wanted to fully recover, she could only be reincarnated.
Seeing her master looking at her, Chu Wan'er giggled. She did not complain or feel depressed. Instead, she comforted Shi Xuan, "When Grandma left, she said that Wan'er had to go through two Undead Tribulations. This should be the last one. In the future, before the Celestial Being, except for the Heavenly Tribulation, Wan'er will have a smooth life. In fact, this is also good. With Zhenren Jiang, Wan'er can still get a chance to reincarnate. Otherwise, when she goes out to travel and encounters the Undead Tribulation, I am afraid that she will not even have the chance to reincarnate. She will die completely. "
Shi Xuan sighed, "It's really hard for you. Zhenren Jiang, please send Wan'er to reincarnate before you go into seclusion to heal your injuries. In addition, please ask Zhenren Zhang to take Wan'er back to the sect. "
"Of course." Zhenren Jiang and Zhang Zhengyan, who was sitting on the other side, agreed without hesitation.
…
In the dead of night, the door of the Ends of the Earth Tower was closed. Without a token, it was difficult to break through the many prohibitions. Even if you had the strength to break through, it would inevitably alarm others.
However, there was a small figure walking at a strange pace, walking on an even stranger path. Sometimes forward, sometimes backward, sometimes left, sometimes right. Three steps forward, five steps back, nine steps left, seven steps right … Just like that, he walked through the many restrictions and arrived at the entrance of the Ends of the Earth Tower in a dangerous manner.
When he looked back, he still felt a lingering fear as he looked at the dense restrictions that seemed to be real and illusory at the same time. Even though he had already sneaked into the Ends of the Earth Tower seven or eight times, he still felt like he was in a dream every time. He had actually seen through the mysteries of the restrictions, and he had really broken through the danger of triggering the restrictions if he was slightly careless!
"Speaking of which, I have to thank the uncle sweeping the floor. If it weren't for his strange stumbling steps, it would be difficult for me to see through the mystery of the prohibitions and break the prohibitions so quickly. Ha, I am really a cultivation genius!" After calming down, the small figure was quite proud of himself. He was just like a six or seven years old child with delicate features.
He thought back to half a month ago when he didn't know how many times he had used the paper luan he had personally made to steal Dubhe Peak to observe the restrictions of the Ends of the Earth Tower. He had thought of a way to break in, but the restrictions were profound. Although he was exceptionally intelligent and could understand Daoist spells with just a little bit, and could deduce many things from one instance, he felt that this restriction was abnormally familiar. However, due to his cultivation level, he could only have some vague ideas.
Right when he was at his wits' end and intended to return to his residence in the outer court to continue suffering the torment of those seniors that didn't have a thorough understanding of Dao Arts, he suddenly noticed that there was an ordinary azure-clothed person sweeping the fallen leaves in the small forest near the Ends of the Earth Inn. He wasn't old and was around the age of 20, yet he staggered and staggered, and he revealed a boundless strangeness.
Glancing at him in panic, the little boy first laughed at the old man's movements. Could it be that he was the kind of old man who ate the Face Retaining Pill but couldn't make a breakthrough in his cultivation level?
But after looking carefully for a few breaths, he suddenly had an idea. Some of the old steps of the man in black clothes seemed to coincide with the prohibitions! So his thoughts turned and he began to connect the dots. By the middle of the night, he finally had some idea of how to break the prohibitions. In the next five days, he looked at it many times and gradually perfected it.
However, the little boy didn't think that the man in black clothes was an unworldly master because most of his old steps were useless and the few steps that coincided with the prohibitions were also very forced. Moreover, his aura was ordinary. Compared to the power of the Qi Drawing and Soul Realm masters he usually saw, he was like a mortal. So it must be a coincidence that he was able to comprehend by analogy.
"He is still sweeping the leaves there. Isn't he afraid of disturbing others in the middle of the night?" This little boy who claimed to be a cultivation genius was after all young and had little common sense. While thinking to himself, he carefully pushed open the door of the Ends of the Earth Tower, jumped in like a cat, and gently closed the door.
"Patriarchs, I am not stealing Taoist techniques. I am only here in advance to see the Taoist books and jade slips that will definitely belong to me." The little boy put his palms together and murmured. He was a little scared but also full of confidence. "It's all the fault of those outer sect masters. They always teach me things that I have already learned. They teach me over and over again, and there is nothing new. That's why I have to do this."
Every time he came, he would say it again, for fear that one of the patriarchs would not be able to stand it and strike him with lightning. It was said that they were all extremely powerful!
Finishing his recitation, he cheered softly and walked to a bookshelf. He picked up a Daoist book on medieval formations that still had a few pages left from last time. Standing there, under the warm jade light and the bright moonlight, he concentrated his attention on the book and read it with full concentration.
An hour later, he put the Taoist book back in its original place with great satisfaction and began to look for the next book he wanted to read. "Heart Calming and Mind Guiding Method? Boring! "Overview of Low-Level Spells" and "Brief Introduction to the Nine Sparkle Star Formation", where are these two books? They were here yesterday! "
So he turned to another bookshelf. "Hey, why is it the" Heart Calming and Mind Guiding Method "again?! Why are there two copies of this?! What a waste of time! "
"This seems to be a good one. Uh … Calming Mind Leading Method …" The little boy's hair stood on end, and he broke out in a cold sweat. It was as if a chilly wind had swept past his back, making him feel slightly cold. "Is, is there a ghost in this building at the ends of the earth?! Patriarchs, you must protect this disciple! "
But his prayer seemed to be useless. A faint voice sounded in the quiet and desolate Ends of the Earth Tower. "You are too young. You should focus on consolidating your foundation. This guiding method can calm the mind, and it can be used with the body-forging method. It is not too late to practice those spells, formations, weapons, and elixirs when your cultivation level is higher."
The little boy's body trembled and he almost fainted. Luckily, he was tough and managed to hold on. When he heard the last words, he was half relieved, and his fear of ghosts disappeared. However, he was worried and afraid of being caught red-handed.
He turned his head stiffly, and his eyes suddenly widened. Isn't that the Green Leaf Man who was sweeping the leaves outside? When, when did he come in?! No one knew!
The little boy stammered, "S-Senior, I, I didn't mean it. I just thought, thought that I could learn all the spells here in the future. Now is just a little earlier."
In his eyes, the man in green showed a "gloomy" smile and pretended to be amiable. "What's your name?"
Confess or lie? The little boy thought of the man's mysterious appearance and said, "My, my name is Xu Zhifei."
Shi Xuan, who was in green, laughed in his heart and said nothing more. He just said, "You should learn the guiding method first. Don't neglect your foundation." After saying that, he turned around and disappeared in the tower.
Xu Zhenjun was not like Lady Yu who reincarnated on her own. Only the core spirit was left, so he would probably only recover his memory when he was eleven or twelve years old.
The little boy Xu Zhifei was in a daze. Did he really meet a hidden master?! Could it be that the footwork was taught by him on purpose?! After a while, he finally picked up the "Heart Calming and Mind Guiding Method".
…
Half a month later, as Shi Xuan was visualizing and cultivating in the Ends of the Earth building, a disciple suddenly came up. "Reporting to Ancestor Shi, there are two cultivators who claim to be your old friends outside. Do you want to see them?"
Beside him, Immortal Zhang was very surprised. Shi Xuan's vital sense was sealed, so it was fine that he didn't notice in advance. But his own vital sense was normal, and it covered a radius of thousands of miles. Moreover, it was enhanced by the formation. How could he not notice the visitors?!
"Did they say their names?" Shi Xuan opened his eyes and asked lightly.
The disciple nodded. "One claims to be Jian Tonghui, and the other Kong Ran. They seem to be a couple."
Shi Xuan didn't expect it to be them. Could it be that they saw the message he left when he went to the The Great World to find them for help and rushed over? But with the ability of a Celestial Immortal True Monarch, Jian Tonghui should be able to calculate that the matter had been resolved. Could it be that there was something else?
