Technique Unsealing
The art of teleportation
Zhang Yan let out a long breath, and the sound of wind whistling sounded in the cave. He inspected his body and checked the acupuncture points that he had already opened.
It had been three months since he last met Hibiko Higashi.
Zhang Yan was using the otherworldly aura to strengthen his True Fire. Originally, he could only absorb it carefully, afraid that Hibiko Higashi would see through him. However, after he made things clear, he didn't have to worry anymore.
One was taking it openly, and the other was taking it secretly. The two couldn't be mentioned in the same breath.
After receiving Hibiko Higashi's help, the True Fire in his body became stronger in a short amount of time.
During these past few days, he'd been painstakingly cultivating in the abode, and he'd successively opened six more apertures. Coupled with the two previous times, he'd burned through a total of thirty-four apertures, and he was only two away from the Mastery Realm.
However, Zhang Yan stopped at this point.
It wasn't that he couldn't continue or that he had met an obstacle; it was because he was being careful.
Previously, when he activated his major acupoints, it was like a hot knife through butter. He had once opened three acupoints in one day.
However, after that, it took him a long time to open each acupuncture point. After working hard for close to a hundred days, he had only opened three. Furthermore, he couldn't rest for even a moment when he circulated his cultivation technique, otherwise all his previous efforts would go to waste.
After using the jade fragment to try a few times, he found that it would take a year to refine the thirty-fifth acupuncture point. The last one, which was the thirty-sixth acupuncture point, was the most important and would take a long time. If there was even the slightest mistake, his Dao foundation might be damaged. It could be said to be extremely dangerous.
Zhang Yan thought to himself, No wonder even the Core disciples of the big sects can't do anything at this point. With the help of the strange aura, I still need more than a month to open each acupuncture point. If it was someone else, it would take more than a dozen years or even dozens of years. For cultivators at the Mystic Light Realm, who has the ability to do this without outside help?
Asking a cultivator above the Mystic Light Realm to spend dozens of years to help someone open their apertures. Aside from the direct disciples of the Xuan Families, no one else would be able to do so.
Zhang Yan sighed with emotion for a long time. Then, he pondered for a while. There were still more than two years before the formation would be activated. This Mount Qingcun was ultimately a place of trouble. No one could predict what would happen. It would be better to wait until after the formation was activated and then find a place to cultivate.
Although his progress was slightly slower, it was much more stable than forcefully breaking through here.
Thinking up to this point, he decided not to continue. He lightly breathed through his nose and mouth a few times, retracting the True Fire, turning it into a lively flame and burying it in his Qi Sea.
After putting this matter down, he thought about another matter that was related to his own strength.
According to Hibiko Higashi, the person from the Taihao School who came to steal the Reishi Ancestor's body was also a Yuanying cultivator. His cultivation shouldn't be below Hibiko Higashi's.
Zhang Yan was worried about another aspect. This Mount Qingcun was the Taihao School's territory. If that was the case, he might have to face more than one Yuanying cultivator. At that time, if Hibiko Higashi couldn't even protect himself, why would he care about him?
Zhang Yan thought to himself, Although this Hibiko Higashi promised to help me get out of the Great Void Defense Formation and even made an oath, I'm still borrowing the power of others. If something happens, I won't have any way out.
He thought about everything he had learned and thought about how he could escape when the time came.
Among the techniques he practiced, the sword escape was the fastest. However, first, he might not be able to escape from the Yuanying cultivator. Second, he could easily expose his identity. Even if the Taihao School didn't dare to do anything to him, it wouldn't be difficult to capture him and lock him up for a dozen years.
If he used the fake body from the Carefree Manual to escape, he definitely wouldn't be able to fool the Yuanying cultivators who had great eyesight and profound cultivation.
He pondered for a long time, and in the end, he thought of the technique Qin Mobai bestowed upon him. It seemed to be a technique to escape as well. However, when he examined it a few times earlier, all he saw was a blurry talisman that he was unable to see through clearly, so he was naturally unable to comprehend any profound technique from it.
He didn't have much hope at first, but when he thought about it, the space between his eyebrows twitched. He didn't know what happened, but the True Fire in his Sea of Qi surged up without being triggered by his divine sense. He heard a "boom" and the fire burned the golden Talisman.
With this, the place that was normally shrouded in clouds and mist seemed to have suddenly opened some kind of door. The talisman suddenly flowed down like melting ice.
His body trembled slightly, and a technique flashed past his eyes like a flickering light. It turned into countless golden fragments and directly imprinted into his mind.
He couldn't help but be shocked. He read it carefully and couldn't help but say happily, "So this is the technique! In this case, I have nothing to worry about! "
This technique was called the "Lesser Shifting Escape Technique".
He had seen this technique before. That day, Qi Yuntian brought him out of the Devil's Cave. In just a breath, they were able to return to the Guardian Island from the Devil's Cave.
Zhang Yan secretly thought that the reason why he couldn't see through this technique before was because he hadn't cultivated the True Fire in his Aperture to a suitable level. Therefore, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't touch the technique.
But now that his cultivation had reached a certain level, there was no hindrance and he could naturally see through this technique.
Thinking of this, he was alarmed. The Qincang School was really strict in selecting disciples. Even if Sect Leader Qin obviously admired him, he wouldn't help him for nothing.
Just like what was happening now, if he didn't open a certain number of apertures, he probably wouldn't be able to learn this little technique.
When he returned to the Mountain Gate, the Sect Leader would only need to make a gesture to know if he was worthy of being nurtured. If he couldn't even open this Talisman, the Sect Leader would give up without hesitation and wouldn't even look at him again.
On the path of cultivation, the higher one went, the harder it was to go. It was already rare for a Yuanying cultivator to come out of the unorthodox path. Even if one had a lifespan of a thousand years, without the true teachings and opportunities, he wouldn't be able to achieve the Great Dao. After all, he was just a pile of bones under the yellow mud.
There were ten top disciples in the Qincang School. If there were no accidents, the ones who would achieve great things in the future would be among these ten people.
These ten people could receive constant advice from their masters and seniors, could learn the best cultivation techniques, could obtain external objects that were hard to find in this world, and could be bestowed with good magical treasures to protect themselves. These ten people were the foundation of the Ying Cang Sect in the future.
Moreover, they did not appear out of thin air. Not to mention Qi Yuntian, even people like Zhuang Bufan and Luo Qingyu had made a name for themselves during the Sword Competition of the Sixteen Sects. They had also defeated many of their peers within the sects, which was why they could firmly occupy their positions.
Compared to them, the ordinary true disciples were like heaven and earth.
Zhang Yan secretly made up his mind that after he condensed his Dan, he must fight for the position of the top ten disciples!
After pondering for a moment, he gathered his thoughts and focused his attention on the Lesser Warp Escape Technique in his mind.
This technique was a little technique. Once it was used, it could teleport a hundred days away in a flash.
But all those who used this technique needed to use mana to control it. It couldn't be used before reaching the Core Transformation realm. Fortunately, Sect Leader Qin had left a strand of essence in this Talisman. With the help of this strand of essence, he didn't need to waste time practicing and could temporarily use this technique.
Zhang Yan held the broken jade and carefully studied it. He found that the essence was not much, but it was not little either. It could be used about three to four times. If he encountered a normal situation, it would be enough. But when facing a Yuanying cultivator, he didn't dare to be careless.
He smiled slightly. Fortunately, he still had a Golden Core given by Tao Zhenren in his stomach. With this technique, even if Hibiko Higashi couldn't take care of him at a critical moment, he could use the Golden Core's Qi to teleport a thousand miles away in an instant.
After these thoughts were settled, his worries were all gone. Unconsciously, he calmed down.
Sitting on the stone platform, he thought for a while and took out the Daoist book that Elder Yan gave him. He carefully read it and thought to himself, "Of the nine medicines needed to condense the Dan, except for the first three, which are hard to find and rely on the cultivator's own senses. Among them, the hardest to find are the Bright Stone Milk, the One-breath Ganoderma, and the Four Marquises Water. Now that these three are in my hands, and the other three are easy to find, I think the day of condensing the Dan is not far away."
Among the three medicines in his hands, the Bright Stone Milk and the One-breath Ganoderma were external medicines, and the Four Marquises Water was internal medicine. Ning Chongxuan had traveled the world for twenty years, and most of his time was spent searching for these three medicines.
It was not easy to collect the Bright Stone Milk. It could only be produced in deep caves. Even if it was found, it was only one or two drops. It required a cultivator to travel around for several years to collect it.
The bottle of Bright Stone Milk in Zhang Yan's hands was used by Mu Hongchen's master for many years, and it was Just Now.
As for the Four Marquises Water, it was produced in places where the Qi of Heaven and Earth was stagnant. It usually took more than ten years to produce it. It was the most difficult medicine to find among the three internal medicines. That was why Xiao Han, a direct disciple of the Xiao Clan, had to travel to the Outer Endless Sea to find this water.
As for the One-breath Ganoderma, it was the best in Mount Green Inch. If one was not a disciple of a famous sect, even if he obtained it, it would only be of inferior quality. It was better to search outside the mountain.
Now that the Ganoderma Ancestor that Zhang Yan had obtained was used to condense the Dan, no other medicinal ganoderma in the world could surpass it.
The three medicines he still lacked were the Cleansing Spirit Cave, the Quejue Thunder, and the Body-Refining Marrow.
When a cultivator was condensing the Dan, he needed to enter the Cleansing Spirit Cave to combine the medicines and absorb the new.
This cave could be found almost everywhere in the East Flower Continent, and it was very easy to find. The Daoist book that Elder Yan had given him recorded many rare caves. When it came time to condense the Dan, he only needed to pick one.
As for the Quejue Thunder, he needed to first create a golden plate and go to the North Flower Continent's God Crossing Peak to attract a wisp of lightning. After obtaining the lightning, the cultivator could not miss the opportunity and had to condense the Dan within half a month. Otherwise, he would have to start all over again.
As for the Body-Refining Marrow, it came from the body of a bird.
Every summer, dozens of different species of birds would come to God Crossing Peak to rest. The marrow hidden in the bird's spine was the accumulation of its body's essence. If he could capture it alive on the day of the Quejue Thunder and extract the marrow from its bones, the two medicines would be compatible.
To Zhang Yan, these two things were not difficult to obtain. It was just that he would have to spend a few more days on the God Crossing Peak. However, he could also imagine that at that time, there might be people like the Hou clan waiting there, deliberately taking advantage of this opportunity to cause trouble for him.
He coldly smiled. On the path of the Great Dao, there was no right or wrong. If someone came to obstruct him, he would simply use his sword to break through the enemy and kill his way out.
