Eternal Tranquility

Why grow a sword? Liu Qinghuan was stunned and opened his eyes. Everyone else also looked at Uncle Ji blankly.

Master Ji obviously didn't want them to answer. He just swept the whole place lightly and said slowly: "What is cultivating swords? Cultivating swords is cultivating Tao. Everyone's Tao is different, so the swords are different. What I do is what I do. What I sow is what my heart holds.”

After speaking, he waved his hand and saw several flashes of white light, and a jade slip appeared in front of Liu Qinghuan.

Liu Qinghuan picked up the jade slip and put it to his forehead. The more he looked at it, the more shocked he became!

Inside the jade slip is a technique called "The Sword Technique of Bamboo Heart Planting", which is actually a sword technique based on bamboo seeds!

"Ah! Are we all sword cultivators in Zhulin Mountain?" someone exclaimed.

Master Ji glanced at the man lightly and said: "That's ridiculous! We are Tao cultivators. What we plant is not the sword, but the Tao! Sword cultivators use swords to carry the Tao, and the sword is the Tao. When the sword destroys the Tao, it disappears. And I, the Zhulin Mountain, use the sword to carry the Tao. The sword is there! The sword is here!"

After talking, different expressions appeared on everyone's face. Some people are thoughtful, some are confused, some are clouded, and some are suddenly enlightened.

"The "Bamboo Heart Planting Sword Technique" is a must-learn technique for my peak, and it will be of great benefit to your cultivation path. Just wait and go, and you will slowly understand it."

Until he walked out of Zhuyi Hall, Liu Qinghuan was still thinking about what Uncle Ji said. When he came back to his senses, he realized that everyone else had left. He put away his thoughts and began to search for a place to build a residence under the mountainside.

After searching around the Bamboo Forest Mountain, there were indeed many vacant courtyards hidden among the green bamboos, but Liu Qinghuan was not satisfied. This is the first time he has a place that truly belongs to him, so he is somewhat eager for it.

Finally, a purple bamboo forest was chosen. This purple bamboo forest is extremely strange. It happens to be on a small piece of flat land protruding from a cliff, with an area of ​​only two acres.

Others might think it's too small, but he thinks it's fine. First, the simple protective array given by the sect was buried at the edge of the purple bamboo forest, and after placing the spiritual stones to activate the array, all you could see from the outside was a thick cloud.

Near the inner mountain wall, Liu Qinghuan quickly built a small purple bamboo courtyard using local materials, and also made simple tables, chairs and other items. He walked over from room to room, and with a wave of his hand, various living, sitting, and sleeping items were placed everywhere, and soon it felt like a decent place to live.

Liu Qinghuan stood in the courtyard and sighed. After growing so big, he had his own place for the first time. It was several times better than the small cave in the Hengwu Mountains.

Seeing that everything was in order, the little hoofed horned beast was released. The first year of junior high school had an extremely restless temper. After being kept in the spirit beast bag for so many days, he ran away as soon as he came out.

Liu Qinghuan smiled and shook her head, no longer caring about it, walked into the quiet room, took out a set of protective arrays given by Yun Zheng and placed them in the four corners, then sat down.

He was directly promoted from the middle of the fourth level to the peak of the fifth level. Although he was happy, he still had some doubts. He has always believed that cultivation requires moving forward steadily step by step, and relying on external forces to improve is very likely to leave huge hidden worries.

With the operation of the Zuowang Changsheng Sutra, Liu Qinghuan gradually entered into concentration, and the spiritual power in his body circulated through the meridians according to a specific route. It was not until several days later that he stopped.

Although the sudden extra spiritual power was a bit frivolous, it did not disperse. After the operation of his mind, it was completely integrated with his original spiritual power.

I was overly worried. Grand Master Yunyi was a great monk in the realm of spirit transformation. Improving the cultivation level of a monk in the Qi Refining Stage was just a matter of waving his hands. It's just that you need to be cautious every step of your practice and don't be superstitious about authority.

After confirming that his cultivation was fine, he took out his storage bag and organized it. Now he has three storage bags in his hand. One was issued by the sect today. There is nothing to say about it. There is no need to say much about his own one. In addition to his own things, there are also a lot of ingredients collected by Yun Zheng, and Some materials left by Xu Yuan. He has identified most of them as ordinary spiritual materials used in alchemy and weapon refining in the foundation-building stage, but there is only one thing that he still can't figure out what it is.

It was a jade vase containing a kind of purple star sand. There was a small black pine cone-like fruit buried in the star sand. Although this small fruit looks ordinary, it was found together with the broken page of Xu Yuan's "Zuo Forgetting Sutra". The more ordinary it is, the more suspicious it is.

I couldn't figure out why, so I put it away and will talk about it later.

The last one was a storage bag he got from a skinny man in the Great Xumi Qiankun Pagoda. It contained a leaf-shaped high-grade flying magic weapon and a protective spiritual jade pendant. It was still usable, so he put it in his bag. All that are not available are collected together and will be sold later when the opportunity arises.

The difficult thing to deal with is the tubers of various fruit plants collected from the mountain walls. In the last ten days in the tower, he worked hard to pick, and only picked the plants that contained the most spiritual energy near the top of the mountain where the resistance was strongest. When his body couldn't bear it anymore, he climbed to the top of the mountain to heal his injuries. When he recovered, he continued down the cliff. In the end, he was left with three large bags full of miscellaneous things.

They were all piled up in front of him now, but he couldn't tell them apart. It seems that we have to go to the Wenshi Sect's Gong Chuan Building to see if we can find the corresponding jade slips.

Just when he thought of this, Liu Qinghuan's expression suddenly changed!

I saw a translucent root emerging from his Dantian. After probing out, it plunged into the pile of spiritual materials in front of him! At the same time, more roots stretched out, and both the fruits and the tubers shrank rapidly.

His consciousness sank into his Dantian, and there was almost no place for him to stand in it at this moment. Countless roots stretched out from his mountain of spiritual roots, occupying the entire sea of ​​spiritual power.

Looking outside, those roots are actually absorbing the wood spiritual energy of the fruit. The green wood spiritual energy flows like flowing water through the translucent roots all the way to the mountain of spiritual roots.

Liu Qinghuan stretched out his hand and passed it directly through the roots without touching anything. He took out the Lengyue Ice Sword and slashed at one of the roots! The sword light turned into a sharp bolt of lightning and struck the ground, creating a deep crack.

Liu Qinghuan's eyes flashed with sternness, and he reached out to grab one of the purple fruits!

But no matter how hard he tried, the purple fruit stuck by the translucent roots couldn't move at all!

Liu Qinghuan, who couldn't grasp it and kept cutting it, was helpless. He could only watch the wood spirit energy in the pile of spiritual materials in front of him being sucked out at an extremely fast speed, and only a handful of black dregs remained.

The roots shook as if they had eaten and drank enough, and then slowly retracted into the Dantian, returning from translucence to solid form, coiling around the mountain of spiritual roots, and hanging down into the blue sea water transformed by the water spiritual roots.

Liu Qinghuan's face was solemn. He searched the entire Qi Sea but couldn't find the stick. It was actually hidden in his spiritual root, with countless tentacle-like roots growing weirdly.

But in the next moment, Liu Qinghuan's whole body shook violently, and he stood stunned on the spot!

The entire mountain of spiritual roots began to tremble slightly, causing the entire Dantian to tremble. The spiritual power during the Qi training period looks like flowing water, but its essence is in the form of gas. At this moment, it is churning like the flying sea of ​​clouds.

Liu Qinghuan was shocked! He gathered his mind and used his mental techniques, but to no avail. The spiritual energy formed a huge vortex around the blue mountain, spinning crazily.
