With the help of the Golden Essence Auspicious Stone, the Lightning Qi that entered his abdomen was already gentle and easy to move. Zhang Yan absorbed it into his Dan Aperture and circulated it for an entire moment before completely absorbing the sixteen bolts of Lightning Qi.
Next, he followed the instructions of the technique and patiently operated the mysterious technique.
However, this technique was very complicated. After an entire day, he Just Now, a glowing purple essence had accumulated in his abdomen.
At this moment, Zhang Yan stopped. He looked at the thousands of grains of astral sand and pondered. According to this, if he wanted to completely absorb it, it would take about three months.
However, this was only the first step.
He gathered more and more of this Essence Qi until it filled his dantian aperture. Then, he would try to circulate it again, slowly condensing it into a solid form, and then breaking it apart. At this step, it was not over yet, he still had to gather it again. After repeating this process for thirty-six times, he could be considered to have achieved a small success, and could circulate some of the power of thunder.
Although the process seemed simple, the requirements were extremely harsh.
Every time the essence was scattered and gathered, the amount of spiritual qi needed for the next time would be multiplied.
At the later stage, the spiritual qi needed by a cultivator was like a whale swallowing the sea.
Zhang Yan couldn't help but shake his head. This was worthy of being the second most powerful technique in his sect. If he didn't have the support of the Heavenly Abode, he wouldn't have to worry about the lack of spiritual qi. If he gave up halfway, who knew if he would be able to cultivate it in the end?
He calculated in his heart. Under normal circumstances, every time the essence dissipated, it would take a cultivator about five to six years. Thirty-six times, that would be more than a hundred years.
However, since he had decided to improve this technique when he was condensing the true seal, he didn't need to spend so much time. He just needed to have a small success before then.
As for the complicated techniques, he had the help of the broken jade and could practice them in the outside world. Therefore, this wasn't a problem.
He thought for a moment. After thinking through all the possible problems, he put his hand into his sleeve. His hand held the broken jade and sank into it.
He went into seclusion for half a year.
One day in the outside world was equivalent to more than forty days in the jade. It was equivalent to him spending more than twenty years on this technique.
When he withdrew his consciousness, he was already familiar with all the methods of using the Violet Firmament Divine Lightning. Next, he only needed to practice diligently.
He flicked his sleeves. He made a gesture to summon the mirror spirit and said, "Is there anything important recently?"
He was just asking casually. Cultivators had a long lifespan, and most of their time was spent meditating and cultivating in their sects. Otherwise, they would be looking for external items to cultivate. It's only been half a year, there shouldn't be anything urgent.
Mirror spirit bowed and said, "Master, there is no movement in the mountain gate, I just heard it. A few days ago, a disciple of the Yuan Yang Sect named Ji Suihan was killed by someone, but we haven't found out who did it. "
"Ji Han?"
Zhang Yan also had some impression of this man's name. This man was also a rising star of the Yuan Yang Sect, a direct disciple of the Daoist Dongtian, and had a high position in the sect.
He asked a few more questions. Only then did he know that when this disciple died, his protective clothes and magic treasures were all destroyed, and he even used up the magic talismans he used to escape, but he still failed to escape. Obviously, the killer was not an ordinary person.
Mirror spirit said again, "This seems to have angered the Daoist Dongtian of the Yuan Yang Sect, who sent a Yuanying cultivator and several disciples to search for him, but they haven't found anything yet."
For some reason, the figures of the two disciples of the Devil Doctrine suddenly appeared in Zhang Yan's mind. He sneered slightly. It seemed that as the Devil Tribulation approached, some people were already unwilling to be left out.
His eyes flickered slightly. Although his cultivation was extraordinary among his peers, it was still far from enough to deal with the Devil Tribulation.
He gently waved his sleeves, and the mirror spirit understood. After bowing to him, she left.
Zhang Yan got up and walked to the side. He looked up and saw that the Nine Absorption Magic Slip was still like a cloud of mist. He used his mind to explore it, and found that the progress was much slower than he had expected. So far, only a quarter of the tailbone had been refined, and it seemed that he still had to wait for a long time.
Zhang Yan's eyes became deep and serene. Then he would wait for another year, and by then, he would have some power to protect himself.
The plan now was to cultivate the Purple Cloud Heavenly Thunder with all his strength!
While Zhang Yan was cultivating in seclusion, Huo Xuan came to the Profound Water True Palace alone and said, "Go in and report that Huo Xuan wants to pay a visit to the Eldest Senior Brother."
Now he was the head of the ten disciples, and his status was extremely high. Hearing this, the Taoist boy in front of the door didn't dare to slight him. After reporting, he led him to the main hall and sat down.
Not long after, Qi Yuntian walked out, followed by Fan Changqing, who had a smile on his face as he followed closely behind.
Huo Xuan knew that Fan Changqing was Qi Yuntian's confidant, so he wasn't surprised. After exchanging greetings, they sat down.
After Huo Xuan chatted with Qi Yuntian for a while, he changed the topic and said, "Eldest Senior Brother, have you heard that the Wei and Southliang Kingdoms in the East Flower Continent are filled with monstrous geniuses and devils? There's even a rumor that a fox demon has entered the palace to become a concubine."
Although Qi Yuntian cultivated in the Profound Water True Palace, Fan Changqing took care of the secular things, so he didn't shut his eyes and ears. He nodded and said, "I have heard of it."
Huo Xuan sighed and said, "In the past, there were Xuanmen disciples who used their swords to slay demons, and such monsters couldn't stir up any trouble at all. But now that the demonic calamity is upon us, everyone is afraid. If this continues and we don't stop it, won't the human world become a land of ghosts?"
If there were demons wreaking havoc in the mortal world, there would be Xuanmen disciples to slay them, and they wouldn't be able to cause any trouble.
They didn't seem to be doing this to protect the mortals in their eyes, but they were afraid that the disciples of the Devil Sect would use this opportunity to cultivate some powerful demonic arts. If that happened, they would be next, so they had to take action.
In the past, they weren't afraid, but now that the demonic calamity was approaching, in addition to the fact that Ji Suihan of the Yuan Yang Sect was killed a while ago, all the sects were shocked when they heard the news. Some small sects even sealed themselves in seclusion, and no one was willing to come out.
As a result, the disciples of the Devil Sect became even more arrogant. It seemed like they were becoming more and more aggressive.
Qi Yuntian thought for a while and said, "It's not appropriate for the Qincang School to directly interfere in the mortal world."
It was obvious that the Devil Sect was secretly testing them, and they might have some ulterior motives. Before their true intentions were revealed, a large sect like the Qincang School obviously couldn't act rashly.
Huo Xuan also nodded in agreement and said, "Eldest Senior Brother's words make sense, and I think so too. However, we can't ignore this matter. Instead of sending a few capable disciples to kill the demons, it's better to support the small sects and let them be our vanguard. "
After talking for a long time, he finally said his purpose.
He wanted to support the disciples of the small sects and let them pave the way for the Qincang School, to take chestnuts from the fire!
The benefits were obvious, and everyone could see it.
However, Huo Xuan understood. If this matter was to succeed, Qi Yuntian's support was indispensable.
Qi Yuntian smiled and said, "Junior Brother Huo, I already know what you mean. The day before yesterday, the sect master passed down a decree. He said that this matter will be decided by me. "
Huo Xuan was shocked, but he quickly calmed down. Qi Yuntian was the eldest disciple of the third generation and the future leader of the Qincang School. Sect Master Qin's decision was reasonable. He asked cautiously, "Eldest Senior Brother, what do you think?"
He looked at Qi Yuntian's face. If this matter succeeded, he would be the first to benefit.
However, he was from an aristocratic family. Would Qi Yuntian agree?
If he was in this position, he would obviously try to suppress it.
Success or failure. It all depended on this person's decision.
Qi Yuntian did not beat around the bush. He laughed and said loudly, "If Junior Brother Huo can succeed, it will be a good thing. Why should I stop you?"
At this moment, Huo Xuan was also shocked. He could not help but stand up and stare at Qi Yuntian.
Even with his shrewdness. He could not help but ask, "Eldest Senior Brother, are you really willing to help Junior Brother?"
Qi Yuntian said seriously, "Junior Brother Huo, haven't you heard of the saying, 'If a brother stands on the wall, he will defend himself'? Don't worry and do it. I guarantee that no one will stop you. "
Huo Xuan was also filled with emotions. He did not expect Qi Yuntian to be so generous. He took a deep breath and solemnly bowed to Qi Yuntian.
Although he usually admired Qi Yuntian, it was mostly because of his cultivation. However, at this moment, he really admired him. He said seriously, "Eldest Senior Brother, I will thank you first."
However, he was also a person who knew when to advance and when to retreat. Putting aside his goal, Qi Yuntian had done him such a big favor and he should return the favor.
He thought for a while and took the initiative to say, "If this matter is successful, in those small sects, my Qincang School will send capable disciples to oversee them and prevent them from acting on their own."
Speaking of these disciples, there was a lot to be done. It could be decided by him and Qi Yuntian. If he could get the full support of the sect, then the gains of those disciples would be greater.
Qi Yuntian smiled. He accepted this kindness calmly.
Since Huo Xuan had achieved his goal, he did not stay any longer. After saying a few more words, he bid farewell to Qi Yuntian and flew away.
After Huo Xuan left, Fan Changqing looked out of the palace gate and turned around. He was puzzled and asked, "Eldest Senior Brother, why did you allow him?"
Huo Xuan was now the top of the Top Ten Disciples. If there were no accidents, he would still be in this position for more than a hundred years. If he was given good management, when he was fully fledged, he might become a threat to Qi Yuntian when he took over the position of Sect Master in the future.
Qi Yuntian did not care and said, "I know Junior Brother Huo's plan. He wants to fight for the position of Temple Master in the future."
The Floating Sky Palace of Qincang School was the most important place in the sect and the Three Halls were also in it.
The Sect Master was the Temple Master of the Upper Extreme Hall. The Temple Master of the Du Zhen Hall was a Supreme Elder and had always been on good terms with Perfected Qin Yu.
As for the Temple Master of the Daylight Temple, he was originally an Elder of an aristocratic family. However, he passed away sixty years ago and was now jointly held by the heads of the four aristocratic families.
Fan Changqing vaguely knew that the structure of the Three Halls seemed to be related to the cultivation secrets of the people in the Heaven's Abode. However, he did not expect that Huo Xuan, who was the top of the Top Ten Disciples, had already thought so far ahead.
Qi Yuntian said in a deep voice, "Junior Brother Huo's ambition is not small. If he can really reach that step, why not help him?"
Huo Xuan's attitude towards the aristocratic families was obvious. If it was not for the fact that the aristocratic families could not choose a person to replace him, he would have been pushed out long ago.
Fan Changqing thought for a while and said, "Eldest Senior Brother, if that's the case, I wonder which disciples should be sent? I can make arrangements as soon as possible. "
Qi Yuntian looked into the distance and said with a faint smile, "This matter can be discussed later. It's still too early to talk about it now. However, I already have a suitable candidate in mind."
Fan Changqing was startled. Immediately, an extraordinary and elegant Daoist figure flashed before his eyes.
