Eternal Tranquility

The vortex grew bigger and bigger, until it spread to the entire air sea, and suddenly it suddenly collapsed! Like a whale swallowing a sea, all the cyan spiritual energy was sucked into the mountain of spiritual roots.

Liu Qinghuan stared blankly at the empty Dantian. He could no longer react and was dumbfounded.

At this time, the shaking of the Spirit Root Mountain became more violent, and the whole mountain began to rise. If it were placed outside, the sky would definitely collapse and the earth would burst into dust and smoke.

Fortunately, this was just an illusion of spiritual roots. The shaking of the mountain only lasted for a few breaths and then stopped. He only felt a "boom" sound as countless spiritual powers surged out from the mountain of spiritual roots, quickly filling his Dantian and meridians. among.

Looking at the spiritual power again, the color is much darker than before, turning into a thick dark cyan, active and agile, but the total amount has also been reduced accordingly. All his spiritual power has been refined!

Liu Qinghuan ran his mental method again, and this time all the spiritual power moved obediently with the mental method, and there was no out-of-control situation again.

Surprise filled his heart, but the biggest change in his dantian was not the sea of ​​qi, but the mountain of spiritual roots. At this time, the mountain of spiritual roots has "grown up" and looks full of vitality. The roots have all retracted into the root body, but the land and seawater under the mountain have shrunk a bit!

Liu Qinghuan stepped forward to confirm again. Following his thoughts, the spiritual essence appeared. That’s right! The soil spiritual roots and water spiritual roots are indeed missing a little bit!

Ever since he was pointed out by Yan Zhengfeng that he had a growth-type spiritual root, he had often paid attention to his spiritual roots, but he had never seen the slightest change in his earth-water spiritual roots. As they said, he also believed that growing spiritual roots were almost equivalent to useless existence. But now, he is 100% sure that the wooden stick has made the spiritual roots, which were originally growing very slowly, grow countless times faster!

Early the next morning, a figure in green flew out from Zhulin Mountain and landed outside the Immortal Peak's Gong Chuan Tower.

At this time, the Chuan Gong Building had just opened its doors. An elderly man was sitting behind the door sleepily, his head falling asleep little by little. Suddenly, a young man appeared in front of him. The old man raised his head, yawned widely, and looked at him.

Liu Qinghuan stepped forward and bowed and said: "Senior, I want to go to the Gong Tower to read the classics. What are the rules?"

The old man said lazily: "Are you the new disciple who started yesterday?"

"yes."

"The Chuan Gong Building is open to all disciples of the sect. During the Qi training period, you can check it on the second floor. If you want to copy the jade slips, you need contribution points from the sect." The old man looked at him and said: "You are a new disciple and you have two free opportunities. Go in Bar."

Liu Qinghuan bowed again and then walked to the side stairs.

Climbing up to the second floor, there is a long corridor with several doors on both sides. On the lintels of the doors are hanging wooden plaques such as "Gongfa", "Heart Technique", "Dharma Weapon" and "Elixir". The dim light and shadow sealed the entire door.

Liu Qinghuan thought for a while, then came to the door of "Lingzhi", took out the jade slip of identity and pressed it against the light and shadow. A doorway that only allowed one person to pass through instantly appeared, and he walked in.

The space inside the door was much larger than he imagined, with rows of tall wooden shelves lined with jade slips, books, bamboo slips, tortoise shells, etc. Fortunately, each wooden shelf was engraved with what was on it, otherwise it would take him a long time to find what he was looking for.

He browsed through them one by one. There were illustrated books and books on various spiritual plants, trees and flowers on the wooden shelves, and there were even special research books. For example, one of the books on fire-type spiritual grass is called "Thirty-two Planting Methods of Edelweiss". Liu Qinghuan was so impressed by how thoroughly he studied every first-grade edelweiss!

He had no intention of growing edelweiss, nor did he want to know what those thirty-two methods of growing it were! I dropped this book, picked up another one, and looked at the cover: "The Wisdom of Zhi Zhiguo"...

The image of the Wenshi sect as a great sect became even greater in his mind. Canglin knew etiquette well. Similarly, only monks who had eaten well and lived a stable life had the leisure to write these idle books.

But this brought him great trouble. It became more difficult to find what he wanted in this vast sea of ​​books. And I really don’t know what that weird wooden stick is. It may not be a spiritual plant at all - he has never heard of a spiritual plant that can be fused with the spiritual roots of a monk! But what else could it be if it wasn't a spiritual plant? Liu Qinghuan felt like he had a headache. He could only turn over here and there without any clue.

After searching for a whole day, I still found nothing, but I did know how many shapes the thorns of the ground thorn flower have, and that the dream grass can be used to make intoxicants...

For three days in a row, Liu Qinghuan stayed in the Chuan Gong Building and visited all the rooms, but still couldn't find any clues. He had no choice but to let it go temporarily. At present, it seems that the wooden stick has not done anything detrimental to him, but has accelerated the growth of his spiritual roots.

After walking out of Chuan Gong Building, Liu Qinghuan went to the trading shop and then flew back to his residence.

After opening the protective array in the quiet room, he sat down cross-legged, took out a first-grade low-grade Qinglin grass he had just bought from the market, and placed it on the ground in front of him.

After waiting for a while, no roots were seen protruding from his Dantian, nor did the mountain of spiritual roots move at all.

Liu Qinghuan scratched his head and took out another first-grade mid-level wood spirit fruit. After a while, there were no less than ten kinds of spiritual grass and spiritual fruits in front of him, but the wooden stick still did not move.

It seemed that these spiritual plants could not attract Mu Guan'er's interest. He thought for a while and took out a few purple fruits.

These were the only purple fruit trees he had left, the others had all been "eaten" by wooden sticks.

This time, there was finally a change on the mountain of spiritual roots. Several roots danced out of his Dantian and plunged into the purple fruit. In just a few breaths, Ziguo was drained of the wood spirit energy.

He stared at the mountain of spiritual roots. Unfortunately, I don't know whether it was because the amount of spiritual energy was too low or something else, the wood spiritual roots did not grow this time, and the earth and water spiritual roots did not see the slightest change.

But Liu Qinghuan has reached the conclusion he wants. It seems that the spiritual plants in the Great Xumi Qiankun Pagoda are indeed different from the spiritual plants outside.

This time he rummaged through the Chuan Gong Building and found a jade slip specifically introducing the Great Xumi Qiankun Pagoda, but there was no mention of this difference at all. He didn't know whether it was not discovered or kept secret.

There is a way to know, and that is to ask the Nascent Soul Elder Ming Yangzi. But since he couldn't see Ming Yangzi, even if he did, he couldn't ask.

Liu Qinghuan didn't have a clue about the wooden stick matter, so he stopped pressing and took out the jade slip of "The Sword Art of Bamboo Heart Planting". It took me two days to read the entire book.

Bamboo heart planting swordsmanship, in short, is a kind of swordsmanship that uses bamboo as an embryo to condense its own Tao, and finally grows the sword of the soul. This technique is extremely overbearing. The planted sword of the soul is not a dead thing, but can advance with the growth of the bamboo embryo. As long as the bamboo embryo is not destroyed, the sword of the soul can grow back even if it is damaged.

It's just that it is extremely difficult to practice such a domineering thing.

The jade slip provides two kinds of sword techniques. One is to plant the bamboo embryo first, and use a drop of blood every day to maintain it with the secret method in "Bamboo Heart Planting Sword Technique". When the bamboo grows three feet, it will be moved into the sea of ​​consciousness. With the Taoist heart, the sword intention is conceived in the bamboo embryo, and the sword is planted.

This kind of swordsmanship is extremely difficult. There are very few swordsmen who can condense the sword intention! But growing swords from bamboo will only be more difficult than simply growing swords.

The second kind is most likely based on the first kind of swordsmanship and simplified by the younger generations of immortal cultivators. The previous steps remain unchanged, except that the sword is made with Taoist heart and is replaced by external force. Then the sword is buried in the bamboo embryo, and the bamboo embryo plus its own spiritual power are used to nourish the sword. Therefore, the first type of soul sword exists in the sea of ​​consciousness, but the second type exists in the Dantian.

The two are very different in nature. All Zhulinshan monks pursue the first type throughout their lives, but most of them are limited by their talents and circumstances and can only practice the second type.
