Zhang Yan floated down and landed on a mountain peak. This was the highest point in the surrounding ten thousand miles. If he looked further, he would see a vast ocean.
The spiritual opportunity of the earth vein was like a dragon hiding in the abyss, but it was not untraceable. As long as he followed the direction of the earth vein, he would be able to find out the ins and outs.
He sat cross-legged and calculated for a moment. After a while, he had a rough idea. He shook his sleeves and leaped into the sky from the mountain top and flew on his sword.
After traveling south for more than half a day, he found a place that seemed to have hidden Qi of essence. However, there were traces of a formation outside. It was obvious that it was already occupied by someone.
He looked around but did not go forward. Instead, he turned to another place.
Before coming here, Daoist Meng had said that there were many ferocious creatures in this small world. In other words, it was possible to find the Earth Yin Essence in this place where these strange creatures cultivated. In this case, if there was a choice, there was no need to clash with the cultivators here.
He continued to search according to the spiritual vigor and a day later, he arrived at a green hill. He saw a valley full of green trees and strange flowers, ancient vines, pines and cypresses, flowing water and spring flowed along the cliff, jade pearls sprinkled down, the seven colors shone brightly like a rainbow.
It was such a good place but there were no birds or beasts. Instead, there was a faint smell of blood that shrouded the valley. One look and one could tell that there were demons here.
However, looking at the Qi, it was at most a Dan Transformation cultivator. It was not a threat to him. Hence, he did not pay much attention to it. He stepped on the cloud and stood on top of the cliff. He took out the Yan Zhu Bottle in his hand and threw it into the sky. He turned the mouth of the bottle and pointed it downwards. He used his mana to point at it. In an instant, the Qi was drawn back and the Qi of essence was drawn out.
The effect of this bottle was completely dependent on the cultivator's magic power. The stronger the magic power, the more spiritual essence it could guide. Among his peers, there were few who could compare with his magic power. This time, when he activated it, the spiritual energy within a hundred miles was drawn, as if it had found a place to vent. In an instant, it formed a torrent and gathered towards his bottle.
At this moment, in the mountain, there was a middle-aged Taoist with a wide face and a long beard meditating in his abode. Suddenly, he felt an unusual movement in the Qi of the earth and stood up abruptly. He said in shock and anger, "Who's stealing my spiritual qi?"
He tried to sense it, but felt a tightness in his chest. He coughed up a mouthful of blood.
He was instantly horrified. The other party's Qi activity had merely sensed each other's Qi activity, yet he was able to throw his internal Qi into chaos. How shocking was the person's Dharmic powers?
"Could it be that a person with such divine power is the Du Chen Sect's Exalted Master?"
Knowing that the other party was so powerful, he didn't dare to go out even though he knew that the other party was seeking Earth Qi. Instead, he tried his best to hide his aura, hoping that he wouldn't cause trouble for them.
While Zhang Yan was collecting the vital energy, he was pondering exactly where the fortuitous encounter he should obtain to break through.
"I've been practicing the Taixuan True Technique. Would it be possible to start from there?"
If he wanted to use this to create a Heavenly Abode, he would have to perfect this technique.
Let's not talk about whether he could do it or not. Even if he succeeded, would it mean that he had found his own Dao?
He pondered for a moment, then shook his head.
This could only be considered a way to seek longevity, but it wasn't the Dao of Longevity.
Just like the boat that crossed the ocean, the technique was just the item beneath one's feet, not the Paramita Fruit.
If one wanted to obtain it, then one had to roughly understand the Heaven and Earth situation and how it worked.
If one didn't even understand this logic … Then how would one seek Dao?
It wasn't good to search like this without any clues.
Even if one comprehended for thousands of years, one wouldn't gain anything.
However, to explore the mysteries of this place wasn't something that he could do now.
Thinking about this, he was deep in thought, thinking to himself, "The various sages and experts wrote down the laws of Heaven and Earth using Erosion Inscriptions. Maybe I can start from there."
He immediately made up his mind. Once this matter was over, he might as well look at such inscriptions and try to find some clues.
However, in this small world, there might be many books left behind by seniors. Since he was here, then he could search around.
After three days and three nights, under his vast mana, he even extracted a lot of the Earth Yin Essence Qi that was buried deep underground. Seeing that it was more or less done, he retracted his ability and kept the bottle.
If he went all out Just Now, it would be enough to take away all the Earth Yin Essence Qi. However, he didn't do that.
He couldn't be too extreme, so he left some Earth Energy to nourish and slowly accumulate. Although it wouldn't be able to return to its former state, the mountains and rivers could still be preserved.
After putting away the vase, he formed a restraining spell and pulled the middle-aged Daoist out of the cave abode, throwing him in front of him.
The Daoist was hiding in the mountains, and seeing that no one came to stop him, he was rejoicing. He didn't think that he wouldn't be able to escape. He said in a trembling voice, "Celestial Master, what instructions do you have for me? “
Zhang Yan said calmly, "I see that your Blood Energy is turbid, like you ate a living person."
When the middle-aged Daoist heard this, he was scared out of his wits.
His original body was a white-furred tiger. He once obtained a Daoist book of Qi Practitioners in the mountains. There were no heavenly tribulations or lightning disasters in this small world, and there was no lack of heavenly materials and earthly treasures. As a result, his cultivation went smoothly until he reached the Jindan Stage. Now, he only needed a little more time before he could find a way to enter the Yuanying Stage. He could be considered a demon king here. However, he was a demon after all. In the past, when he was greedy, he used to prey on living people.
When Qi Practitioners in the world lacked materials to refine, they loved to kill demons like him who had evil deeds in the past. He thought that the other party was the same, so he knelt on the ground and kowtowed, saying, "Master is wise, before I achieved Dao, I was just a beast in the mountains. I was ignorant and muddle-headed, and acted according to my nature. That's why I did such a wrong thing. However, after I took human form, I cultivated my heart and nature, and I never ate humans again."
When he said this, he pointed to the sky and swore, saying hoarsely, "If I lied to you, I will be punished by the heavens."
Zhang Yan smiled faintly, "If it wasn't so, you wouldn't have kept your life in front of me. Do you have a name?"
The tiger spirit said, "Yes, yes, my name is Bai Shan Jun."
Zhang Yan looked at him and said, "Where did you learn all these skills from?"
Bai Shan Jun said honestly, "Years ago, I obtained a few pages of a broken scroll, and thus I cultivated a body of Dao techniques. I carry them with me, and I'm willing to offer them to you, Master."
He rummaged around his chest for a while, and took out a few wrinkled pages.
Zhang Yan did not take it, and only waved it in front of him. He looked up and knocked on it, and nodded slightly.
From his point of view, these Dao techniques were quite good, and could be considered as orthodox Xuanmen. However, the beginning was fine, and there was nothing too extraordinary about it. It was just that the further he went, the more speculations there were. This attracted his attention, and he raised his eyebrows, "Other than these, is there anything else?"
Bai Shan Jun was startled, and thought for a while. Suddenly, he remembered something, and said, "I'll be back soon."
He scrambled out, and after a dozen steps, he remembered that he could still fly. He slapped his head, and rode a black smoke down the mountain.
After a while, he ran out, and with both hands presented half of a broken jade scroll, and said, "This was placed together with the pages of the Dao book."
Zhang Yan raised his finger, and his mana flowed into it. Immediately, a picture appeared in his mind, and after a brief look, he had an idea.
As expected, the words in the Daoist book were only notes, and the real technique was here.
The first half of the content was within the realm of the original owner, so the notes were clear and orderly, but the latter part was beyond his ability, so it was messy and broken.
However, it only mentioned how to move one's Qi. After reaching the second layer of the Nascent Soul realm, there was nothing else. It didn't even mention condensing one's Dharma Body, let alone the method to form a Heavenly Abode.
Zhang Yan looked at it, and was not disappointed, and said, "I'll accept this." He put away the jade scroll, and with a shake of his sleeve, threw a bottle of pills.
Bai Shan Jun quickly caught it, pulled out the stopper, and smelled it. He was overjoyed, and carefully put it away, and said, "Thank you, Celestial Master."
Zhang Yan asked, "Are there any Daoist sects nearby?"
Bai Shan Jun's heart skipped a beat, and he stole a glance at Zhang Yan, and said, "A thousand miles south from here, there are a few small sects, and they are all led by Celestial Master Changgong Mountain. Their abode is a hundred, or even a thousand times better than this little demon's!"
Zhang Yan asked a few questions, and understood the situation. This small world was called Xuanlu Continent, and the place he was standing on was actually a remote place in the northern land, and there were not many people, so there were not many Daoist cultivators. There were only a few rogue cultivators, and because their cultivation levels were similar, they lived in harmony.
Thirty years ago, a Daoist named Fu Changyi came, and this person had already cultivated to the Yuanying realm, and he occupied Changgong Mountain, which had the best Fengshui, and often asked for gifts from the Daoist cultivators and demons in the surrounding mountains.
Bai Shan Jun said at the end, "This Fu Changyi has a bad temper, and often uses his cultivation level to bully people of the same generation. The surrounding Daoist friends are angry, but dare not say anything. If you go, you have to be careful."
From his words, Zhang Yan knew that this person must have had a grudge with him in the past. His last words seemed to be concerned, but in fact, he was eager for him to go.
He smiled, and did not say anything. With a flick of his sleeve, he wrapped the tiger spirit up, and flew south on the wind and clouds.
After traveling for a thousand miles, he could already see a mountain in front of him that was filled with treasure light and spiritual Qi. He gestured with his eyes, and said, "Is it that place?"
Bai Shan Jun stretched his head out to take a look, and said, "Yes, yes, Celestial Master's eyes are like torches, this little demon is convinced."
Zhang Yan ignored his flattery, and threw him to the side of a mountain, and said, "Go on."
Bai Shan Jun did not dare to meddle in the affairs of the two Spiritual Masters, and immediately ran away as if he was running for his life.
Zhang Yan slightly circulated his mana, and his speed increased a little. Not long after, he arrived in front of the mountain, and stood in mid-air, and said loudly, "Is Spiritual Master Fu here? Sorry for the intrusion, uninvited guest. "
A few breaths after he said that, a yellow-robed Daoist with triangular eyes flew out on a cloud, and two clouds floated above his head. This person looked at Zhang Yan warily, and cupped his hands, saying coldly, "Fellow Daoist, where did you come from, and what business do you have with me?"
Zhang Yan smiled, and said, "I'm here to collect some spiritual Qi of the earth vein, but this mountain has long been occupied by you, so I'm willing to give you a talisman in exchange. What do you think, Fellow Daoist?"
When Daoist Fu heard this, his expression changed, and with a clang, he unsheathed his magic sword and hovered in the air, and said angrily, "How dare you! The earth Qi is the spiritual root of this mountain, how can you take it? Leave now, or else don't blame me for killing you!"
