Cultivation: When you do things to the extreme

What secret?

He doesn't know either.

But speaking from experience, there may be just a few.

Either the immortal fate is hidden, or the old monster is dormant.

Or there may be ancient caves, secret and dangerous places.

These are all great opportunities!

It is also a great danger!

That's why he is so uneasy.

Before and after, hundreds of cultivators had broken their swords and disappeared into the Dongting Lake.

Among them are many masters who are in the later stage of Qi training.

Although the young man also had advanced Qi training, he did not feel that he was much better than those who had disappeared.

Therefore, he has never dared to go deep into Dongting Lake. Instead, he placed his stronghold in the city and asked his men to use various methods to make insidious and careful explorations. After several months of exploration, they finally determined the location.

"Whether it's a person who is destined to be immortal and is hiding, or a person who is cultivating is dormant, they all need spiritual energy to practice."

"Without spiritual energy, even if you obtain the rare treasures of immortality, it will be difficult to advance in cultivation, and it will be difficult to complete your Qi training."

"This Dongting Lake can make people sink into the sand in the later stages of Qi training, which shows that the power within it is at least the level of Dzogchen Qi training."

"In an ordinary place, perfect Qi training, such strange things are already worthy of Foundation Establishment!"

"I hope that after the news comes back, the ancestors and the others can leave in time. The forces staring at Dongting Lake now are not just our Wang family!"

The young man murmured to himself, sighed, and then took out the spirit stone and prepared to meditate.

In this ordinary place, spiritual energy is thin, almost nonexistent.

If you want to practice, you can only rely on spiritual stones or elixirs.

Directly absorbing spiritual stones is a very luxurious thing for Qi practitioners.

But he had no choice.

The way of cultivation is based on Yuan Ling!

If one does not absorb spiritual energy for a long time, not only is there a risk of regression in one's cultivation, it may also cause the spiritual roots to dry up and shrink, resulting in a reduction in one's cultivation qualifications and making it impossible to advance in the future.

He is already in the late stage of qi training, and is expected to be perfect in the future. He can hit the foundation building level and must not lose the big for the small.

However……

As soon as I closed my eyes, I felt uneasy.

The young man's heart skipped a beat and he hurriedly opened his eyes.

Then he saw a figure appearing in the bright study room.

"!!!"

The young man's eyes narrowed, and without thinking, he activated the magic weapon, Talisman and Seal, to protect himself from the enemy.

But before he could make a move, the person standing in the middle of the study teleported over like a ghost.

He came so close to him that he lowered his hand and grabbed his throat.

The young man was frightened and rushed to use his magic power, but he felt a pain in his neck, a flash of lightning passed by, and his body was immediately paralyzed.

Only then did the man let go of his hand and looked down at him: "Who are you?"

In the middle of the night, breaking into someone else's home and asking who the owner is, this scene is really weird.

But the young man understood what he meant and what was going on. His heart was filled with horror and despair.

Fortunately, he had a good temperament and quickly regained his composure. He said respectfully: "Senior, I come from the Wang family in Hongfeng Mountain. The founder of the family is Wang Tianling. This time I came to the mortal world for some trivial matters. I don't know where. Did you offend senior?"

This was said in a flawless manner. It not only responded to the other party's questions, reported his own origins, but also revealed his family background without leaving any trace. He also showed in a respectful manner that he had no ill intentions and was an innocent and vulnerable party.

Even an ordinary person might not be able to learn the skill of speaking with just one hand after struggling for a lifetime.

This is the benefit of being from a noble family, the starting point is the ending point for others.

pity……

Xu Yang looked at him and shook his head.

…

A moment later, Xu Yang, who had obtained all the intelligence information, threw a bloody and mangled corpse into Storage Bag No. 31, then turned around and disappeared without a trace in an instant.

This person's name is Wang Haishi, and he is a descendant of the Wang family in Hongfeng Mountain.

The Wang family in Hongfeng Mountain is a foundation-building family, with an ancestor who is in the middle stage of foundation-building sitting in charge.

Xu Yang won more than one such person and force tonight.

After all, he had buried the corpses of hundreds of cultivators on the island over the years to fertilize the land.

Not to mention the gains in other places, at least hundreds of cultivators were directly trapped in Dongting Lake.

Hundreds of cultivators disappeared here, and after a chain reaction in the relationship network, the anomalies in Dongting Lake were inevitably exposed and entered the sight of all forces.

The Wang family is one of them, or only one of them.

Apart from the Wang family, there are other forces, other stronger foundation-building forces.

Xu Yang picked and picked a few soft persimmons and extracted a series of information.

But that doesn't solve the problem.

The exposure of Dongting Lake is inevitable. The snooping and coveting of those foundation-building forces will not stop because of the loss of a few pawns. Instead, they will pay more attention to it and use all their strength to fight for the opportunity they think.

what to do?

Abandon Dongting Lake, the home base that has been in business for many years?

It makes no sense. In the world of cultivation, the weak eat the strong.

No matter where you hide, it's the same. Disputes are unavoidable. At best, you can change the target.

His practice also requires resources. Without the support of resources, his progress will be slow.

Not to mention the spiritual land of Dongting Lake, which also involves the practice of earthly methods.

Therefore, he would not abandon Dongting Lake unless absolutely necessary.

In addition, it is too abnormal for a foundation-building monk to hide in the mortal world all day long.

As time goes by, there will inevitably be rumors, which may even attract the attention of the Jindan Sect.

The gain outweighs the loss and is even more dangerous.

Therefore, the correct approach is not to retreat and escape, but to face it calmly and use this opportunity to bring the Dongting Spiritual Land to the public and integrate it into the world of cultivation as an honorable development of the foundation.

It’s for hiding in the city!

How does this work?

Xu Yang has a plan in mind.

…

Three days later, in Dongting Lake.

Two rays of light came through the sky, passed through the sea of ​​clouds in Dongting, and landed on the island in the middle of the lake.

The escaping light fell, and the bodies appeared. They were two cultivators.

One of them is past the middle of his life, and his temples have turned gray, but he doesn't look old. He still has a sharp look, sharp eyebrows, and a tall and straight posture. He is like a magic sword hiding its edge. Even if it doesn't show its edge, it can still intimidate people's hearts.

The other person is also middle-aged, wearing a green robe and jade robe, and he is also an immortal.

"Is this the spiritual place of fellow Taoist?"

"Sure enough... outstanding people!"

After passing through the formation and landing on the island, the middle-aged man squinted for a while and gave an intriguing evaluation.

"I'm sorry to be troubled by the immortal envoy."

Xu Yang smiled, took out a storage bag and handed it to the middle-aged man: "Please also explore the spiritual land."

"Hey, how could this happen? It's impossible!"

"Hey...fellow Taoist, you are setting me up for injustice!"

"That's all. Since this is Fellow Daoist Li's wish, it would be disrespectful for me to reject it. Alas..."

After some routine evasion, the middle-aged man accepted the storage bag with a smile and nodded secretly in his heart.

This Li Jianchen is also a Taoist, and he has no bad temper as a swordsman with him.

But this is natural. He, Bai Yunzi, is the immortal envoy of the Qingyu Sect, and represents the majesty and dignity of the Qingyu Sect. Who dares to show off to him?

On the road to cultivation, one must not only be able to fight and kill, but also understand the ways of the world.

Even sword cultivators are no exception.

If you think you are high-minded and don't know how to advance or retreat, you will definitely end up with "it is easy to break if you are too strong".

This Li Jianchen is very wise and very satisfying.

Bai Yunzi accepted the storage bag with a smile, and then started touring the island with Xu Yang.

First we looked at the rice fields, then at the fish farms, and finally at the medicinal fields.

The medicine field is not big, but it is the essence, where the spiritual energy from all directions gathers.

Seeing that most of the medicine fields were ordinary herbs and only a few elixirs, Bai Yunzi nodded secretly and immediately said to Xu Yang: "The spiritual energy here is not abundant, it can barely be considered to be at the first level!"

After that, he looked around again and saw the very obvious spirit gathering formation. He sighed and asked, "Fellow Taoist, you have put in a lot of effort, right?"

Xu Yang nodded and said calmly: "I have been wandering for half my life. After practicing till this point, my potential has been exhausted and there is no hope of advancement. Therefore, my biggest wish is to have a place to live and pass on what I have learned to future generations. In this way, passing through this life is not in vain.”

"Fellow Taoist's painstaking efforts are touching, but..."

Bai Yunzi shook his head and showed a helpless smile that he didn't know whether it was true or not: "The dispute over the spiritual land is a sect rule. It must be done in a matter-of-fact manner. I have nothing to do. I hope my fellow Taoist friends will forgive me."

"I understand."

Xu Yang didn't care and said calmly: "The immortal envoy only needs to be impartial and do his best. People plan things, and success depends on God. If you are not good at it, you will lose if you lose. There is no resentment at all."

"My fellow Taoist is open-minded and worthy of being a sword cultivator!"

Bai Yunzi smiled, then said nothing, and said directly: "In that case, I will report to the sect when I get back, inform the monks from all sides, and start the battle for the spiritual land."

"At that time, as the person who discovered it, Taoist Fellow Daoist only needs to stand on the stage for three rounds to seize this spiritual land and use it as the family's inheritance in the future."

After saying that, he thought about it for a while and said, "It takes time, so how about after March?"

"March?"

Xu Yang murmured, then nodded: "Just follow what the immortal envoy said."

"Um!"

Bai Yunzi nodded and asked again: "The time has been decided, the place..."

As he spoke, he looked at Xu Yang and paused for a moment.

Xu Yang smiled and said, "It's right here in Dongting Lake. It's not troublesome to go straight there."

"good!"

Bai Yunzi also reciprocated the favor: "According to what fellow Taoist said, after March, the battle for spiritual land will begin in Dongting Lake. I wish fellow Taoist a successful start."
