Immortal Road

Ishikawa was also extremely surprised when he saw the Yin spirit returning. The unhappy mood in the Immortal Mansion just now was gone.

However, Ishikawa soon discovered that only the Yin spirit came back on his own. Ishikawa's spiritual consciousness spread out, and no demonic dragon or golden-winged bird spirit was found around the cave. This made Ishikawa's heart sink: Could it be that something unexpected happened to the golden-winged bird spirit and the demonic dragon?

"Where are fellow Taoist Yin Ling, Yao Jiao and Golden Winged Bird Spirit?" Ishikawa asked.

"The three of us have already parted ways." Yin Ling shook his head and said in a rather helpless tone.

"You three actually separated?" This surprised Ishikawa and he didn't understand.

"Actually, the Golden-winged Bird Spirit and I were really disappointed with the demon dragon, so we had to separate from him. However, due to the long journey, the Golden-winged Bird Spirit was unable to return, so we happened to find a place where the fire spirit was relatively strong. I will go back to practice in seclusion, and I will join up with fellow Taoist Shi. As long as fellow Taoist Shi has time, we can bring fellow Taoist Jin-Wing Que Ling back," Yin Ling explained.

This made Ishikawa slightly relieved. Although the golden-winged bird spirit did not come back, since the Yin spirit knew his retreat place, he could find him sooner or later. However, Ishikawa still couldn't help but ask: "Didn't you transmit the message to me? It is said that the monster dragon is heavily poisoned, so how could it be separated from him?"

"This is a long story." Yin Ling sighed and said: "Don't we and the Golden Winged Bird Spirit know that on this water spirit planet, the monster dragon is like a fish in water, and it will be very easy to follow him back. But this monster dragon blames him again and again. The two of us, Taoist Gold-winged Queling, separated from him in anger. I thought for a moment that it was extremely dangerous for Taoist Gold-winged Queling to walk alone on this water spirit planet, so I followed the Taoist Gold-winged Queling. Friends. Fellow Daoist Shi asked, is it possible that the demon dragon hasn’t come back yet?”

"There is no news!" Ishikawa said: "I brought back the Liu family's mother of poison, and I once asked her about this matter. She said that the poison poisoned by the monster dragon is not particularly serious, but it will take a long time. I’m afraid it will be difficult to come back in a short time.”

Ishikawa already knew that the demon dragon and the golden-winged bird spirit were not compatible, but he did not expect that the demon dragon would abandon the golden-winged bird spirit at such a critical moment. But then I thought about it. Ishikawa also felt that this was not the demonic dragon's original intention. After all, the demonic dragon did not return, so the poison he received may not be light.

"Thank you so much to fellow Taoist Yin Ling for this matter. I have lost so much of my Yin Consciousness for this matter. I will definitely make it up to you when I get the chance."

"What did Fellow Taoist Shi say?" Yin Ling said with a smile: "Without Fellow Daoist Shi, I would still be where I am today, but after more than half a year of testing, I have also discovered that without Fellow Daoist Shi, I would still be unable to move forward. Many monks were very interested in me, and they were almost imprisoned once, but fortunately, they came back."

Ishikawa talked with Yin Ling again. Learn about each other's happenings over the past six months.

Ishikawa did not hide anything about the mother of poison.

When talking about Shui Yuan not reminding Ishikawa but letting Ishikawa drink the poisonous spirit wine, Yin Ling's expression changed instantly: "What Taoist Shui Yuan did in this matter was extremely improper. Although he was very fond of Dan." There have been in-depth studies on the medicine, but it’s hard to say whether this kind of poison is harmful.”

Ishikawa nodded and shook his head. Quite helpless. After a while of silence. Ishikawa said: "Fellow Taoist Yin Ling has just come back. It's better to rest for a while. When you are almost recovered, we will go find Taoist Friend Golden Winged Bird Ling again."

Ishikawa waved his hand and took the Yin spirit back into the Immortal Mansion.

The joy on his face slowly faded, and his brows furrowed again.

The monster dragon may be practicing in seclusion somewhere. In a short period of time, all the poison should not be eliminated. It will take at least several decades. Will return here.

Another reason is because the water monkey saw the mother of poison. A series of changes occurred.

Ishikawa slowly recalled his experiences from when he first entered Shui Ling Sect, to his experience in ancient ruins, to his trip to Tianyuan Treasure House, etc.

The first time I encountered a water ape, I escaped under the powerful consciousness of Kong Yao...

At the Fire Nation's spiritual wine conference, I watched Qingchuan being taken away...

A pill of pills, a jar of spiritual wine...

The water ape worshiped in front of him and became his spiritual beast...

All of this suddenly passed before Ishikawa's eyes.

Ishikawa seemed to have returned to the seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy again, and seemed to recall the scene when he was refining elixirs in the Gong family of the Fire Nation.

"Bang!" The storage bag shattered.

The messenger surnamed Yan smashed Ishikawa's storage bag into pieces, and countless Qi training period pills were scattered on the ground.

The pear blossoms in Qingchuan are covered with rain, and the face is full of sadness.

It seemed as if Ishikawa appeared in front of him again.

At this moment, Ishikawa's eye circles were slightly red, and there were too many memories, fleeting like a fleeting cloud.

"I, Ishikawa! I will never accept the situation!"

"I, Ishikawa! I will never put my destiny in the hands of others!"

Ishikawa's eyes suddenly lit up, and his heart was like a bright mirror, and he seemed to have a great enlightenment.

A few hours later, Ishikawa slowly stood up and looked around the cave. The confusion in his eyes was no longer there, replaced by determination.

After the epiphany, Ishikawa knew what he wanted to do.

In the next three years, Ishikawa retreated in this cave.

However, Ishikawa did not take any magic pills or practice any special techniques. In addition to the basic magic of absorbing spiritual power, he only practices the art of star identification.

The more he practiced the art of star identification, the more Ishikawa discovered the peculiarities of this method.

As far as Ishikawa currently understood, this art of star identification was definitely not just a method of identifying directions. It integrated the cultivator's consciousness with the heaven and earth, integrated with the star field, and comprehended the spiritual power of heaven and earth.

During these three years, Ishikawa's cultivation level increased very slowly. But at the end of the third year, he reached the late stage of the Nascent Soul.

Ishikawa was not dissatisfied at all, but was very calm.

At the end of each year, it was the classic day of various sects, either recruiting disciples or distributing spiritual beads, which was very lively.

These were all learned by the Yin Ling from the outside, and Ishikawa had no intention of taking care of these trivial matters.

During these three years, he had lived in peace with the Jin Jun Sect.

The Jin Jun Sect cultivators had never come near Ishikawa's cave, and Ishikawa had no impact on the Jin Jun Sect. Instead, the Golden Winged Bird Spirit occasionally helped the mortals of the Jin Jun Sect.

It was done in secret, so Ishikawa did not stop it. After all, the Yin spirit was quite bored every day, and doing some good things was much better than devouring the souls of human cultivators everywhere.

Although the leader of Jinjun Sect knew that Ishikawa was practicing in Jinjun Sect, he was relieved that Ishikawa had been in seclusion for three years.

Gradually, he did not take it to heart, because there were more things for him to worry about.

Especially at the end of this year, the Jindan period ancestor of Jinjun Sect had not been heard from for three years, and the surrounding sects were ready to move. Although they did not take any action in public, they had begun to suppress Jinjun Sect in secret.

The water spirit beads that Jinjun Sect could get also became extremely scarce.

The number of water spirit beads. It is related to the cultivation of disciples in the sect, especially when the water spirit beads were distributed at the end of the year. The leader of Jinjun Sect counted the water spirit beads in the storage bag over and over again, and his face was extremely gloomy.

These spirit beads are less than one-third of last year.

Moreover, once it was distributed, there would be no spiritual beads left in the entire Jinjun Sect. The Jinjun Sect was already in a desperate situation.

The monks in the sect were aware of this matter, but they had no way to deal with it.

The leader of the Jinjun Sect took out the golden disc from his arms and looked at it, and sighed. The fracture in the disc was very obvious, and Ishikawa's figure in the disc could also be seen.

And for three whole years, there was no big change.

…………………………………………

Ishikawa, who had reached the late stage of the Nascent Soul, did not have any joy on his face, but was indifferent.

During these three years, Ishikawa not only did not take any elixir, but did not even return to the Immortal Mansion.

However, Ishikawa thought a lot.

In the epiphany three years ago, Ishikawa also made a summary of his decades of cultivation.

And Ishikawa also re-understood some truths from the conversation with the Mother of Gu Poison.

Cultivation is a matter against heaven. Although elixirs and other things are external things, they have a huge catalytic effect.

The way of alchemy has a long history. Since ancient times, there have been cultivators who have collected spiritual herbs to refine pills for consumption. This is not an occasional thing.

On the surface, alchemy seems to be just for the purpose of obtaining pills. The purpose of pills is to take them and promote cultivation.

This seems to be no problem, but Ishikawa found that cultivation is not as simple as taking pills and enhancing spiritual power.

In order to figure out this problem, Ishikawa spent three years to explore what is Tao and what is Heavenly Tao.

This may be the watershed for the cultivators of the Spiritualization Stage to surpass the cultivators of the Nascent Soul Stage.

Perhaps this is also the key to achieving the Spiritualization Stage.

Cultivation is not just about improving cultivation, but also about entering Tao. If you don't enter Tao, you will never achieve the Spiritualization Stage.

Tao is a state of mind and a kind of perception.

Tao is the grasp of the rules of heaven and earth.

Only by mastering the rules between heaven and earth can the cultivators of the Spiritualization Stage turn their hands into clouds and turn their hands into rain.

To achieve the Spiritualization Stage, you must enter Tao.

Different cultivators have different ways to enter Tao. For the spirit race, the realm of the demon king is their path. For human cultivators, there are many choices.

Ishikawa chose the path of alchemy.

In front of Ishikawa, there was a small alchemy furnace, and beside Ishikawa, there were countless jade boxes. These were low-level spiritual herbs that had been stored for many years and had lost most of their medicinal effects.

Ishikawa skillfully put in a few spiritual herbs, and after a few hours, the fragrance of medicine filled the air, and a furnace of low-level elixirs was successfully refined.

This low-level elixir that Ishikawa did not take during the foundation-building period was regarded as a treasure by Ishikawa, who held it in his palm and looked at it carefully.

The state of mind of the alchemy path is not to refine some heaven-defying elixir, and low-level elixir is also a part of entering the path. (To be continued...)
