After receiving the letter that day, Kiyohara did not leave immediately.

In the past few days, he has carved on the rocks by the stream, occasionally in the courtyard, and most of the time in his room.

Since that day when he received the help of immortal qi, he has approached the peak of his cultivation in the first heaven, approaching the second heaven.

With his current roots, under the diligent study and hard practice, he will soon be able to try to condense and set foot in the double building: the refining building.

But the road of cultivation is arduous step by step, and no one dares to say that it will be achieved.

The barrier of the double building is not so simple.

Kiyohara has been wandering outside the monastic gate for many years, and now, he is not in a hurry.

He practiced gradually, steadily.

At this moment, he carved tiger and wolf woodcarvings outside the courtyard.

This is already the ninth tiger wolf wood carving, which belongs to the last step of carving, and has been in cinnabar before, used kung fu, borrowed the method of water refining, and borrowed the method of fire refining.

Now the last step is delicate work.

The method of tiger and wolf wood carving is divided into several steps, among which the method of fire refining is more difficult to do, and one is not careful, but I am afraid of burning.

Fortunately, the main water source of the Mingyuan Taoist Temple has always liked to refine medicine, so there is a Dan room in the Taoist Temple, with a built-in furnace, but this furnace is not a magic weapon, it can only refine medicine, and it cannot be refined into a spiritual pill.

But for Kiyohara, it couldn't be more suitable.

In the past, he burned fire and alchemy for Zixiao Daxian in the sky, and today, he uses the stove again to return to his old business, and he can't help but sigh.

"When I was in the Heavenly Dao Palace, it was always the senior brothers and even the Great Immortals who personally adjusted everything, put it in the furnace, and then borrowed the eight-flavor flame to condense it into the immortal fire in the furnace. ”

Qing Yuan secretly said in his heart: "The immortal fire is not close to ordinary people, and it is also thanks to the Eight Dragons Hexagram Immortal Furnace that has a way to support it, and the flame breath rarely overflows." ”

"Although cultivators are not afraid of flames, because they have achieved cultivation and have mana in their bodies, they have a heavier breath in their bodies, which is easy to affect the elixir. ”

"That's why there are new Dao children like us in the Asgard Palace......"

He looked up at the sky and was silent.

Now that he has been able to practice, as long as he solves the worries of the future, he can be regarded as getting what he wants, and the next step is to practice as a good student, study and practice hard, in order to seek the immortal way.

As for the place of meditation and cultivation, in his heart, he is above Zixiao Palace.

It's just that the origin and the fate are extinguished, and there is no going back after all.

He put away the ninth carved tiger and wolf wood carving, put it in his arms, and then got up and looked at the mandrill that was dancing with a knife not far away.

The mountain mandrill Gu Cang was already strong in qi and blood, as long as the ritual of inheritance was carried out, it could break through, and after that, the road all the way to the top of the triple heaven was a flat avenue. And now he has been introduced to the Immortal Dao by Qingyuan, practiced True Qi, achieved something, restrained his wildness, and has reached the peak of a heavy heaven.

However, the method of breathing and exhaling transmitted by Qingyuan is only extremely superficial and not profound.

As for how this mandrill can refine its true qi, there is no exact method.

The nine-fold jade building that is not pure in June belongs to the secret transmission of Zixiao Palace and cannot be taught.

So the mountain mandrill Gu Cang stopped at this step for the time being.

Qing Yuan was slightly apologetic, and said in his heart: "I can only deduce this method of true qi condensation for it after I step into the double building." Or, you can only try to see if you will get the rest of the exercises during the wandering......"

The mandrill wielded a long knife over there, and the sword light was so light that it almost smelled of water splashing in.

Its talent is not dull, and it is extremely hard-working, and it has practiced the sword skills in the army to the fullest, and it is even more able to give full play to this long knife that is stained with hundreds of blood, and the sharp and bloody qi in it are all vividly exerted.

As a mandrill, coupled with Taoist true qi, and this long knife is bloody...... Although it is still the cultivation of the first heaven, it has the ability of the double heaven.

Even if you meet those martial arts masters who have condensed into internal strength, you can be undefeated.

......

"Sir. ”

The mandrill put away his sword and stood in front of him.

Qing Yuan nodded with satisfaction and said, "Although I have great strength, I am still better than you, but now you are much higher than me in the comprehension of martial arts skills." If it's a martial arts competition, you're no worse than me......"

"No......" Gu Cang shook his head and said in a low voice: "Sir said that although these Dao protection methods cannot be avoided, what you really should care about is your own Taoism. My fighting skills are high, but I am still a heavy heaven Dao, and I am still far from the Immortal Dao...... But Mr.'s Taoism is approaching the second heaven. ”

You remember those words clearly. Qingyuan laughed twice, thought for a while, and said, "I've been making some preparations for the next few days after stepping into the Second Building, such as the Dao Technique I cast, such as the direction of my cultivation later...... I chose paper-cutting as the Taoist technique of horses, and added wood carving to assist ......"

He paused and said with a smile: "This is a secret tradition, not to be passed on." ”

Gu Cang lowered his head, quite lost.

"But in the meantime, I also thought about it. ”

Qingyuan said with a smile: "Among the classics I have read, there are still some Taoist techniques, which are collected from the outside world, not secret, and there are also inheritances outside. Since it's not a secret biography, then you can't pass it on......"

When Gu Cang heard this, he was suddenly overjoyed, his golden eyes shone like flames, he grinned, and reached out to touch the top of his head.

"What I want to pass on to you is megalithography. ”

Qingyuan said: "This method can also be used by the people of the double heavens, although it is a little clumsy, but it is a superior method. It is rumored that there is an immortal in the sky, so he used this method to cut off a section of the sacred mountain, shrink it in the palm of his hand, the size is from the heart, but the weight is not reduced, just release it, the opponent can hardly bear it, it can be said that he will die when he touches it. ”

When Gu Cang heard this, he suddenly showed a look of yearning.

"This method is quite simple for people who have cultivated to be advanced. ”

Qingyuan said slowly: "As long as you run the mana, build a vein for the boulder, and follow the trajectory to inject mana, you can lift as light as a weight, as light as a feather." After such a long-term use, over time, it can even be shrunk in the palm of the hand, as small as a square seal, but after it is released, it can be as big as a house and bombard all parties. ”

After many days of communicating with people, Gu Cang was no longer ignorant at the beginning, and suddenly heard that there was another deep meaning in Mr. 's words, and couldn't help asking: "What about those who cultivate shallowly?"

Qingyuan said: "If the cultivation is shallow, it is difficult to use mana, so it is necessary to borrow cinnabar and other things. ”

Gu Cang put down the knife, squatted on the ground, put his arms on the ground, and listened carefully.

"Cinnabar and other similar things are used to penetrate into the stone as meridians. or water grinding and fire refining, or using the rest of the methods to make it penetrate. ”

Qingyuan said: "When you are practicing, you breathe and breathe, and your true qi is running, and you will fall on this stone. ”

"At that time, there will be a secret method to refine, the long will be three or five years, and the short will be three or five months...... In your hands, it can be as light as nothing, like a feather, but in the hands of outsiders, it is still the original weight, extremely heavy. ”

He looked at the mandrill and said, "Of course, if there is an extraordinary opportunity, maybe the time can be shortened. ”

Gu Cang thought about what he had heard, and felt that carrying a boulder, even if it was as light as a feather for himself, was also a little troublesome. Especially since it is no longer the mountain spirit, and it feels that walking on the road is too ostentatious.

Thinking of this, it asked, "When will it take to refine the boulder to the size it wants?"

"It depends on the weight of the boulder you choose, how tight and loose it is, and how well you do it. Qing Yuan said with a smile: "The higher your Taoism, the easier it will naturally be; if the Taoism is shallow, you have to practice it repeatedly day and night, but it will take a long time." ”

Gu Cang thought about his Taoism, but he was afraid that it was still insufficient, and he couldn't help but feel a little frustrated.

"You have to do what you can, and your cultivation is still important in Taoism. Qingyuan said: "Just imagine, if you are an immortal, it doesn't hurt to intercept a big mountain, but if you go to refine a big mountain, I am afraid that it will be thousands of years." And if you use these thousands of years of time to practice, the Tao will be unfathomable. ”

Gu Cang thought about it, so he nodded.

"You should also be careful when choosing boulders. ”

Qing Yuan advised: "For example, a relatively compact rock, it may not seem big, but it is actually quite heavy, this kind of rock, cinnabar is not easy to penetrate, true qi mana is not easy to use, it takes a lot of effort to achieve." As for the loose rocks, they seem to be larger, the cinnabar is easy to penetrate, and the true qi mana is easy to use, but the weight is lighter......"

He looked solemn and said, "The most important thing is that this kind of loose rock is not solid and stable enough, and it will shatter to the ground after a fall. Or if you are hit by a magic weapon and split into a few pieces, then it will be useless......"

When Gu Cang heard this, it seemed to be very reasonable, and when he remembered that his hard work was shattered, his heart suddenly throbbed, and he nodded hurriedly.

"None of these things can be done in a day. ”

Qingyuan sighed and said, "I will teach you everything in the next few days, and I will also leave some notes and classics for your reference." In the future, this technique will be enough for you to use for a long time. ”

Gu Cang was stunned for a moment, it heard the meaning of Mr. 's words, and his eyes suddenly showed surprise, and said, "Mr. is leaving?"

Kiyohara nodded and said, "I have something important to do, and I have to walk south." ”

Gu Cang said in a low voice, "Why don't you take me there?"

Qing Yuan said slowly: "I don't know if it's dangerous or not, how can I compare this Taoist view to the purity? If there is a big chaos today, even if there are cultivators, there are many people who want to live in seclusion. This place is really good, and if it weren't for my life, I would want to stay here and practice. ”

Gu Cang lowered his head and was speechless for a while, and after a long time, he said, "Sir...... Treat me well......"

Kiyohara has been with it for many days and knows the meaning of its words.

The implication of Gu Cang's words is that Qingyuan treats it best and is most familiar with it, while the other people in the Taoist temple are separated from it after all, and they are inevitably estranged.

Qingyuan shook his head slightly and said: "Although you have covered it up, although these people in the Taoist temple are not broken, they are more or less aware of it, and I can see that they will not mind you staying in the Taoist temple." Mr. Yunjing said that the head of the water source is also an enlightened person, and he will allow you to stay, but there is no shortage of food and water for you. ”

Gu Cang scratched his head and asked, "Sir, do you think it's not good for me to follow?"

"It's not that I dislike you with me. Qing Yuan smiled and said slowly: "Your cultivation is still in the pass, so it's not suitable to go with me." ”

Gu Cang patted his chest, shook his head and said, "Don't be afraid." ”

Kiyohara smiled slightly and asked, "What about the monolithic technique?"

Gu Cang was stunned and asked, "What does it have to do with this?"

Qing Yuan said: "The boulder technique is a long-term effort, not a day's work, at the beginning, the boulder is heavy and difficult to carry, so it is necessary to stay in a certain place until the refining is completed." You wander around with me, how can you refine the boulder magic weapon?"

Gu Cang thought for a moment, and then said, "Then don't practice." ”

Kiyohara was a little surprised.

He knew that this mandrill had always been extremely yearning for the Divine Channel Technique, and now passing on its hand was also to let its sword skills reach the top, and in the case that the Second Heaven could not break through for the time being, there was another direction of cultivation.

But he didn't expect that Shanxiao Gu Cang was actually willing to give up the Taoist technique and go with him.

"A teacher for one day, a father for life. ”

Kiyohara sighed: "Come to think of it, you haven't heard these eight words, but you know the truth very well. ”

He looked at the mandrill in front of him, nodded, and said, "Okay, you can go with me." ”

The mandrill suddenly showed joy, grinned, picked up the long knife, and patted his chest.
