After staying in the Guardian Palace for a few days, Zhang Yan returned to the Clear Nether Heavenly Lake under Qin Nan's escort.
His visit did not attract the attention of others. Apart from the female cultivator who served him, the rest of the maids in the palace thought that he was here to visit Qinnan. Paying respects to Immortal Peng was just out of courtesy.
He returned to the main hall and sat down on the jade couch. With a wave of his sleeve, hundreds of white jade bushes fell on the ground in front of him.
Amidst all of these were the plump True Sand that was like jade dewdrops and jade pearls. They glowed brilliantly and overflowed with spirit energy, and they were piled up all the way to the mouth of the True Sand, and it seemed as if a light tremble would shake them off.
Zhang Yan smiled. Just as he had expected, there were a few Earth Terminus Spirit Veins hidden in Immortal Peng's cave abode.
Judging from the quality of the True Sand, it had been cultivated for at least a hundred years. This meant that when Immortal Peng went to guard the Small Devil Cave, he had planted the spiritual vein here.
Although these Earth Terminus Spirit Veins were not as high quality as the ones hidden in the cave abodes of the other Enlightened Masters, the advantage was that in these twenty to thirty years, only Zhang Yan could use them to cultivate, at least among the Core Formation cultivators.
With a clear shout, he flipped his palm, and a wisp of white mist flew out of his palm. It spun a few times in the air, and then fell down, grabbing the true sand in the bucket. Following the urging of his mind, it suddenly began to grind.
In less than half an hour, countless snow-white fragments were scattered around, and a cloud of Essence Qi that was as clear as water was floating in the air. If one didn't look carefully, it would be almost impossible to distinguish it.
Zhang Yan sniffed and inhaled the essence into his stomach. Then, he slowly rotated the Golden Core. After refining it, he carefully examined it and couldn't help but applaud. Just the spiritual essence contained within this handful of True Sand was comparable to over 30 ships of Five Element Divine Sand from before, and the difference between them could be said to be like the difference between the heavens and the earth.
He had personally refined and absorbed these two types of divine sand. His feelings were naturally the most intense and direct. He also sighed in his heart. Sure enough, if he wanted to become one of the top ten disciples of Qincang School, he had to find a Daoist Paradise to support him. Otherwise, don't even think about succeeding.
His gaze swept downwards. These hundred or so bushels were enough for him to use for four months. At that time, the True Sand would naturally be sent over.
Having resolved an urgent matter, he was also delighted in his heart. He put this matter aside. Counting the days, there were still more than three years until the sect's competition.
With his Dan having reached the first grade, it would be impossible for him to break through the "shell" and condense a true spiritual power imprint within these three years. It was not a problem with the True Sand, but in a situation where he had enough external objects for cultivation. Increasing the strength of his Dan was still a long and arduous process. He could only rely on himself to accumulate it bit by bit.
Therefore, if one wanted to stand out in the sect's competition, not only did they have to rely on their cultivation, they also had to rely on their Dao techniques.
At this moment, he could only rely on two methods. One was the Flying Bandit Technique, and when combined with his Piggy Sky Teleportation Technique, he would be able to stand in an invincible position if his opponent didn't have any Magic Treasures that could counter him. The other method was the Mysterious True Light.
He thought about it in his heart. The Flying Bandit Technique was impressive, but in the sect's competition, it was not a life and death battle. There were many methods that he could not use to his heart's content.
Moreover, the top ten disciples had all gone to the Sword Competition of the Sixteen Sects, so they should have seen the Shaoqing Sect's Flying Sword Technique. They must have a way to counter it, so he could not expect too much. If he wanted to defeat his opponent, he had to place his chips on the Mysterious True Light.
However, there was a problem here.
His eyes flashed, and his body shook. A water-like brilliance was released. A curtain of water rose up, and with a loud splash, it was like a waterfall that went straight up to the dome.
He sat there with his eyes closed, not saying a word or moving. He allowed the water light to fly around. After about an hour, he formed a seal and the water light was sucked back into his body.
Just now, no matter how much he urged the Pill Fiend, and even used up quite a lot of it, he was unable to make the power of this profound light increase by even a fraction. Obviously, he had no way to completely convert the Pill Fiend into magic power and divine ability.
Although the Mysterious True Light was impressive, his Dan had reached the first grade. According to common sense, with the power of his Dan, if he could control the Five Elemental True Light, its power should be endless. However, the power of the Water Elemental True Light might not be much stronger than when he was at the Mysterious Light Realm. It seemed that he could only use the Five Elemental Essence to slowly train it to increase its power.
At that time, he had thought that this Taoist technique was just like that, so he didn't think too much about it. However, after he read the Nine Primordial Numinous Treasure Mystic Scripture and read many notes that were mixed within it, he finally understood the reason.
In the world, cultivation methods and Dharma powers could not be practiced casually. Every cultivation method had to be matched with every Dao Technique. Otherwise, no matter how much you practiced, you would not be able to achieve great success.
For example, Zhuang Bufan cultivated the Kun Jade Dust Technique, one of the three techniques and five scriptures of the sect.
After cultivating this technique, the Dan Sha would gather and disperse at will. It could be as big as a mountain, as small as a speck of dust, as hard as jade, or as soft as sand. After cultivating it to a high level, one would be able to cultivate one of the twelve Divine Abilities of the sect, the Great Overarching Heavenly Sleeve.
Zhang Yan had seen Zhuang Bufan's ability on that day. With a flick of his sleeve, everyone in an area of a few kilometers was trapped within his sleeve, and not a single one of them was able to escape. If he were to encounter such an ability in battle with Zhuang Bufan, then he could only retreat far away.
If the other disciples of the sect had made great contributions to the sect, then they could naturally cultivate this Dao Technique and Divine Ability as well. However, if they did not cultivate the Kun Jade Dust Technique first, then they would not be able to bring out the full power of this Divine Ability.
If Zhuang Yufan was able to transform all the Dan Sha luck in his body into a Divine Ability with just a raise of his hand, and those whose cultivation techniques did not match would only be able to draw out half of the Dan Sha luck, then it would naturally be obvious who was stronger.
Therefore, Zhang Yan suspected that this Five Elements Mysterious True Light of Five Directions might have a matching cultivation technique, and not just a Divine Ability or Dao Technique.
If his conjecture was true, then the old Daoist had only given him a remnant of a scroll.
As for whether Daoren was unwilling to give him the complete scroll, or if it was because he only had an incomplete scroll, then it was unknown.
However, Zhang Yan's guess was more inclined towards the latter. Because only the essence of the five directions could be used to cultivate the Mysterious True Light and control the True Light freely, and it would undoubtedly save the step of cultivating a cultivation technique. This should have been meticulously modified by the later generations.
But if one had the original copy, then who would waste time and effort on it for nothing?
It was probably because of this. Without a suitable cultivation technique to match it, he only had an ancient and dazzling Dan Sha luck. But he could not make it into a shocking Divine Ability.
But it was not that there was no solution. The Mysterious True Scripture of Nine Numbers Taishi Spiritual Treasures in his hands was originally used to deduce cultivation techniques. If he could deduce a method to use and cultivate the Five Elements Mysterious True Light from it, then he would not be afraid of any disciples of the same generation in the competition.
He stood up and paced back and forth in the mansion. It seemed that in these three years, other than continuously tempering the Dan Sha, he also had to find a way to break through this method. At least, he had to make use of his Dan Sha luck and not waste it.
But after reading this scripture a few times, he found that it was indeed profound and abstruse. "There are not many notes left by people. There is very little for him to refer to.
At this moment, he suddenly remembered that Elder Gong had once said that in the Little Cold World, he could find the experience and comprehension left by many predecessors.
Since there were predecessors' notes, he should naturally take a look and verify with each other. Even if others walked into a dead end, he could also know which path was wrong.
There is no time like the present. Why don't I go visit Elder Gong today. "
After Zhang Yan made up his mind, he did not hesitate at all. He flung open his sleeves, stood up and stepped out of the formation door. He left Bright Nether Heavenly Lake and headed towards the Merit Yard.
The Merit Yard was located on the Nine Lives Peak of the Black Turtle Continent. After Zhang Yan entered the mountain, he pushed through the wind and clouds. Not long after, he arrived in front of the main gate.
He looked around and saw that the sky was clear and blue, the mountains were clear and the waters were clear. The pine trees were like the sea, and the jade steps at the foot of the mountain were enough for ten people to walk side by side. On the temple at the peak, there were three flying pavilions in the sky. Below them, there were smoke and clouds, and between them were green vines. Colorful birds flew back and forth, and spring water flowed through the cracks of the cold rocks. It actually didn't land on the ground, but a Jade Wave Celestial River that surrounded the mountain was suspended above the temple. There were a dozen white-haired Daoren people fishing there. Their expressions were relaxed and they were enjoying themselves.
When Zhang Yan arrived, a cultivator with thick eyebrows and broad shoulders came to welcome him on a mysterious light. He suddenly shouted, "Who are you? Why are you still flying on the clouds in front of the Merit Yard? Why haven't you landed yet! "
Zhang Yan smiled in his heart and thought, "I heard that among the nine yards, only the Merit Yard is the most arrogant. Other than being respectful to the sect master and the people of the Heavenly Abode, all the other disciples and elders are treated the same. Looks like it's really not bad."
He didn't say anything, he just took out a talisman from his sleeve and waved it. When the cultivator with broad shoulders saw the talisman, he couldn't help but be startled, and his attitude immediately took a big turn. He cupped his hands and said, "May I know which elder is this Martial Uncle looking for?"
Zhang Yan said in a deep voice, "I am here to visit Elder Gong, is he here?"
When the cultivator with broad shoulders heard this, his expression changed slightly. He suddenly came up and pulled on Zhang Yan's sleeve and said in a low voice, "Dao brother, come with me, let's talk in the back hall."
Just as Zhang Yan was puzzled, an old man who was fishing suddenly threw the fishing rod in his hand and turned into a mist that flew out. He stopped in front of the two of them, pointed at Zhang Yan and said angrily, "You, you are here to see Gong Daoren?"
Zhang Yan glanced at him and nodded. "Yes."
When Daoren heard this, his beard and eyebrows twitched. He beat his chest and stamped his feet. "This old thief, a few days ago, he said that someone was coming to visit him. I thought, with his bad temper, why would anyone come to visit him? I even bet a pill jade with him. Now that you're here, I've lost miserably. No, you have to give me a clear explanation, otherwise you're not allowed to go in. "
He came up and wanted to pull on Zhang Yan's sleeve. When the cultivator with broad shoulders saw that he was pestering endlessly, he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. The elders in the Merit Courtyard were all extremely high in seniority, and they had given up on cultivating Dao. Just Now, they came here to live out their lives in retirement and wait for death. Some of them even practiced xuan techniques, causing their temperament to change greatly and become crazy. This Daoren was one of them.
Zhang Yan's eyes flickered slightly and he said with a light smile, "This Elder Daoren, I feel that you should be happy."
Daoren was puzzled. "Why?"
Zhang Yan sighed. "Elder Gong didn't bet his life with you, he only bet his pill jade with you. Don't tell me you didn't take advantage of him?"
Daoren was startled. He frowned and thought for a while. Suddenly, he clapped his hands and became elated. He danced and said, "That's right, that's right. That's right, that's right. It's this old man who took advantage of you, took advantage of you."
The cultivator with broad shoulders was dumbfounded. He looked at Zhang Yan with admiration and said in a low voice, "Dao brother, you're very capable. Quickly, follow me."
Zhang Yan shook his head. He wasn't in the mood to argue with that crazy Daoren. He waved his sleeve and followed the cultivator into the inner hall.
