After the bonfire, everyone took a stand one after another, and the cultivators were divided into two groups, one part returned to the village with the villagers, and the other part went back to their respective caves to continue their cultivation journey.

Du Fan said goodbye to Yan Qing and brought Chu Ling'er back to the Water Curtain Cave.

"With your mortal body, it is not very convenient to enter and exit the Water Curtain Cave, so stay in the cave for a few days, and when the teacher solves your cultivation problems, you can freely enter and exit the Water Curtain Cave...... In addition, there are a few small animals raised here for the teacher, if you feel bored, you can play with them, and when you are hungry, you can go to the medicine garden to pick yellow fruits to eat, remember, you can only eat one plant a day. ”

After some explanation, Du Fan walked into the secret room alone, leaving Chu Ling'er a little at a loss, but soon, the little girl found fun in the zoo......

......

Ten days later, the door of the secret room slowly opened, and Du Fan was still sitting cross-legged on the futon, looking slightly tired.

These days, he has been reading the classics, and after countless deductions and calculations, and even experimenting with himself, he finally found a near-perfect method, the key is how to combine the autumn water spirit body and the water attribute hidden spirit root into one.

The water attribute hidden spirit root is not enough, if it is said that he has an autumn water spirit body but cannot set foot in the cultivation realm, it is really a great pity.

It is recorded in ancient books that most of the people who have this kind of physique are kind by nature, full of great love for all things in the world, and are in line with the Tao, so it is easier to reach the heavens and the earth and understand the world, and there will be no bottlenecks in the cultivation process.

Originally, a person with this kind of physique, even if he didn't have a spiritual root, he could use some means to achieve unhindered cultivation, but Chu Ling'er's situation was really special, not only did he have a hidden spiritual root, but he also had a water attribute.

Under normal circumstances, the hidden spirit root is dormant in the human body, if there is nothing, it is very erratic, as if it is sleeping, but once it encounters a spirit body with the same attributes, it seems to have been stimulated by something, and the two are revealed, and the needles are opposite, in this process, both mutual birth and restraint, resulting in abnormal disorders in the body, and the eight veins of the Yuan Shen Space, the Dantian Qi Sea, and the Qi Jing have become quite complicated, and there is no way to cultivate normally.

"Ling'er, come here. Du Fan spoke, and the voice instantly reached Chu Ling'er, who was playing with the one-legged bird.

A moment later, Chu Ling'er appeared in the secret room at a trot, with an innocent smile on her red cheeks, her little appearance was very pleasing, much happier than a few days ago, and when facing Du Fan, she was not as cramped and uneasy as she was at the beginning.

"Ling'er greets Master!" Chu Ling'er said as she bowed to Du Fan.

Du Fan smiled, and said softly: "There are not so many rules here as a teacher, you can treat me as your grandfather Yan Qing, just be casual on weekdays, and don't need to give me a big salute." ”

Ling'er knows. ”

Du Fan nodded, then his face showed a solemn expression, and said: "Next, the teacher will tailor a set of magic circles according to the real-time situation in your body, during which you don't move, close your eyes, and imagine that you are standing in a place where birds are singing and flowers are fragrant, the breeze is blowing, and the spring is full of joy, try to keep your mood calm...... Do you understand what I mean?"

"Hmm. Chu Ling'er responded, her eyelashes trembled slightly, she closed her eyes obediently, trying to blend herself into the picture depicted by the other party, and soon, her breathing became steady, and with a certain rhythm, every breath and breath fit the sound of the avenue, making her look ethereal and natural.

"What an amazing understanding!" Seeing this, Du Fan couldn't help but be amazed, and at the same time, he was more sure of what he was going to do next.

......

After the moon, the water curtain of the cave where Du Fan was located was separated, and the one-legged bird flew out of it, and Chu Ling'er sat on the back of the bird, looking excited and happy.

"From now on, you can cultivate like a normal monk, go to your grandfather, let him guide you to cultivate the foundation, retreat as a teacher, and come here to find me in ten years. ”

This is Chu Ling'er's words before leaving, Du Fan explained to him, the reason why he did this, in addition to comprehending and cultivating the second layer of the Extreme Illusion Ice Body, more importantly, considering that Yan Qing only had ten years of life left, he didn't want to leave regrets for the two ancestors and grandchildren.

"My lifelong wish has been fulfilled, and I spent the last ten years of my life in the company of Ling'er, and I think Yan Daoyou has no regrets, but when Ling'er is a girl, I am afraid that she will be sad and sad for a long time. ”

"In the final analysis, in this life, no matter what height he reaches, he can't get rid of life and death, everyone in the world is suffering, and there is happiness in suffering, and if you can know how to cherish it when you are alive, it will be in vain in this life......"

With a sigh, Du Fan closed his eyes, and after calming down, he immediately comprehended the second layer of the Extreme Illusion Ice Body.

......

The cold comes and the summer comes, the flowers fall and bloom, and the eight years pass in a hurry.

During these eight years, Du Fan has always been in retreat, and now he has finally cultivated the second layer of the Extreme Illusion Ice Body to perfection, of which the time for enlightenment has been used up for two years, and then he has cultivated for another six years.

I have to say that this secret technique is the most difficult one of all the exercises that Du Fan has encountered, of course, except for the nine-character mantra obtained from the strange space, that thing is mostly a fairy road classic, and even though the extreme illusion ice body is mysterious, it cannot be compared.

Du Fan walked out of the secret room, and planned to visit Yan Qing, but after thinking about it, forget it, for the two ancestors and grandchildren, getting along for a day is one less day, and they really shouldn't be disturbed, so let them be alone.

In the following days, Du Fan did not retreat and cultivate, he stayed in the animal garden and medicine garden all day long, sometimes observing, sometimes studying, sometimes turning out the classics to check it, sometimes drinking and getting drunk, the days were also leisurely and comfortable, he had not been so empty as he is now.

......

Two years later, the bad news came as expected, Chu Ling'er hugged Yan Qing's corpse, knelt down in front of Du Fan, crying uncontrollably, kowtowing again and again, begging Du Fan to save her grandfather, she was willing to pay any price for it.

Now Chu Ling'er is eighteen years old, and she is no longer the little girl she was back then, and now she is slim and elegant, more and more beautiful, dressed in plain clothes, and her spirit is moving, this is a kind of beauty out of the dust, and at the same time it makes people feel close, such a woman, even if she is a big traitor, it is difficult to have a heart of harm when facing her.

Chu Ling'er was heartbroken, her face was pale, her eyes were red from crying, she knelt in front of Du Fan, and kept begging.

"Bury your grandfather and let him be buried in the ground. Du Fan sighed and said.
