Journey to the head

In the quiet room, with a burner of incense burning, Lin Le was sitting cross-legged, in a state of great concentration. There seemed to be traces of tears in the corners of his eyes.

At this moment, the extremely rare innate spiritual energy has poured into his body. As soon as it came into contact with his acquired body and the five elements of spiritual roots, it began to nourish and transform his meridians, making them tougher, while at the same time it was decomposing and transforming into vast acquired spiritual energy. There was even a lot of spiritual energy that could not be collected in time and was escaping from the acupuncture points all over his body.

Lu Qian sat in front of him, his spiritual consciousness activated, his golden elixir flashed and rotated, and he used his own spiritual power to help him gather spiritual energy and overcome difficulties.

The surging spiritual energy was circulating in Lin Le's limbs and meridians, running through his body.

One circle, two circles...his cultivation was pushed forward at a miraculous speed!

Compared to the speed at which Lin Le moved the Zhou Tian by himself in the past, it has now increased by more than ten thousand times!
In a flash, Lin Le felt lighter all over, his meridians opened up, and he had broken through from the fifth level of Qi training to the sixth level.

He has been at the fifth level of Qi training for more than twenty years!

Lin Le's body was shaking, his fists were clenched, and tears were leaking from his tightly closed eyes.

Lu Qian shouted softly: "Xiao Lin, gather your thoughts and don't let your delusions run wild!"

He placed one hand on Lin Le's forehead and the other on Lin Le's Dantian to help him guide his Qi.

Feeling the vast spiritual energy rapidly rotating in an extremely familiar route, and feeling Lin Le's cultivation level rapidly increasing, he felt extremely relieved.

This exercise route is exactly the "Qianyun Sutra"...

Everyone has different gifts and talents. Even if there are immortal skills in front of you, you can't enter without talent. As the acting elder, Lin Le also worships Jiang Qingfeng as his master. With his achievements and status, any magical skills in the "Yunshan Seven-grade Dongxuan Zhenjing" are within his reach.

Unfortunately, because he was a pseudo-spiritual root, when he was breathing and transporting spiritual energy, the speed of the five elements spiritual root breathing and cultivation was extremely slow. In the initial stage of Qi training, from the first to the fourth level, ordinary three spiritual roots only need five or six years of hard work, but pseudo spiritual roots need twenty to thirty years.

After entering the middle stage of Qi training, the practice becomes even slower, and every step is as slow as a snail. The pseudo-spiritual roots in this world have basically exhausted their lifespans and can only be trapped in the middle stage of Qi training, unable to enter the late stage of Qi training.

Therefore, any sect in this world that is still relatively healthy and not on the verge of extinction will not pay much attention to fake spiritual roots. Instead of investing a lot of resources in fake spiritual roots, it is better to cultivate other disciples.

The word "fake" says it all.

Due to such unfavorable spiritual root qualifications, although Lin Le has a strong knowledge and can understand various types of exercises with half the effort, when it comes to actual practice, the more mysterious the technique is, the higher the requirements for the circulation of spiritual energy, so he is unable to practice high-level mysterious skills at all.

In the end, Lin Le silently chose the current sixth-grade martial arts method, which was also the fundamental martial arts method passed down by the head of the Yunshan School, the "Qianyun Sutra".

This set of exercises has no special features except that it is compatible with "Wind Shadow Cloud Body". It is stable, moderate and peaceful, and is a method to lay the foundation for entering the Tao.

But for Lin Le, "stability" is the most important thing.

Feeling Lin Le's familiarity in running the spiritual energy route of the "Qianyun Sutra" and feeling the inheritance of the original lineage of the Yunshan School in Lin Le, Lu Qian was filled with emotion.

Looking at Lin Le, he remembered that in the cave in the barren mountain, he absorbed a ray of innate spiritual energy under the protection of Xuanjizi, and also used the "Qianyun Sutra" to circulate it around the body, and successfully advanced to the seventh level of Qi training.

Now, the innate spiritual energy obtained for Lin Le is stronger than what he got at the beginning, which can make him reach the perfection of Qi training. He also sincerely hopes that in the future he can achieve better achievements than himself, and leave a record in the history of Yunshan, surpassing his master.

But his spiritual roots...

Compared to Lin Le today, Lu Qian has profound skills, so he can protect him while thinking.

After completing Qi training, the next step is to build the foundation. If the foundation is successful, Lin Le will be a rare person in the world who has built his foundation with pseudo spiritual roots.

But what’s next?

When practicing Qi, although the pseudo-spiritual roots practice hard and slowly, there is still a little progress. After entering the foundation-building stage, it is probably so slow that no improvement can be felt!

Lu Qian thought for a long time. Now, what the Yunshan Sect can provide are only spiritual veins with abundant spiritual energy, a large number of spiritual pills and other cultivation resources. Although these can speed up the cultivation process, they cannot change the fundamental situation.

So far, the only thing that can increase the speed of practice is the "Pure Glass Body".

True Man Yu Hu spent countless efforts, even risking his life, to finally gather the seventy-seven kinds of immortal herbs, spiritual marrow and spiritual fluids needed for the Pure and Tranquil Glazed Body. Ultimately, he helped Lu Qian achieve success, increasing his cultivation speed by a full 50%, allowing him to achieve the Golden Elixir at an astonishing speed.

Since then, Yunshan Sect has been buying and searching for the raw materials needed for the "Pure Glass Body" at all costs. With the financial resources of Yunshan Sect, they have been searching in Plum Blossom Square for years and months, and also requested to buy from the Spirit Beast Sect and Xuanwei Sect. Now, thirty-six years have passed, and only seventy-five kinds have been found, and there are still two spiritual medicines missing.

These two kinds of spiritual medicines are the highest grade treasures below the innate spiritual herbs. They are at the same level as the "Creation Fire Pill". There is really no way to buy them, so you can only go with the flow.

Even if the raw materials of the Pure and Tranquil Glazed Body were gathered, could this precious body vein be directly given to Lin Le? Lin Le's pseudo-spiritual root cultivation was too slow, and on this basis, even if it was increased by 50%, it would be a drop in the bucket. Who would use it, I'm afraid it would take repeated consideration.

Fortunately, if Lin Le could build his foundation, he would have a life span of 400 years. He was only 58 years old now, so he still had plenty of time to think of a solution...

As he was thinking about it, he felt that the spiritual energy in Lin Le's body was gradually weakening and restraining.

Lin Le’s cultivation has already reached the tenth level of Qi training, and he is advancing towards the perfect tenth level and the state of complete Qi training!
It's the final moment.

Lu Qian focused his mind and tried his best to help. Lin Le also tried his best, seized the last bit of spiritual energy and pushed forward bravely, circulating the Qi in his body.

Lu Qian was afraid of the slightest mistake, so he grabbed a handful of spirit crystals without hesitation and activated them. Spiritual energy surged out and completely filled the quiet room. In an instant, the abundance of spiritual energy in the outside world was immeasurable, and the milky white spiritual mist enveloped the two of them.

As long as Xiaolin can succeed, it doesn’t matter how many spirit crystals he uses!
There was abundant spiritual energy outside and Lu Qian was able to overcome the obstacles inside. The last bit of spiritual energy was swallowed by Lin Le, washed over the spiritual roots, and then circulated around the body, turning into stable spiritual power, which was taken into the Dantian and fixed under the spiritual roots.

At this moment, all ten levels were completed, the spiritual energy was harmonious, the spiritual roots shone brightly, and the flower buds on the top were shaking, as if they could not wait to bloom!

Lin Le from the Yunshan School has completed his Qi training today!

Lu Qian withdrew his hands with a smile. Lin Le's whole body was shaking. He suppressed his surging emotions and consolidated for three more cycles. He felt the completely different spiritual power in his body, as well as his spiritual awareness that was constantly strengthened as his cultivation level improved. Then he slowly opened his eyes.

Through tearful eyes, I saw Lu Qian, whose face was filled with relief and joy.

"Good! It's good!"

Lin Le could no longer hold back and was about to kneel down, but Lu Qian held him firmly.

"It's such a happy occasion, but you're kneeling and crying. What a mess. Please untie the knot. I'll have an explanation."

Lin Le responded with a trembling voice, wiped his face roughly, and tried to take a deep breath to calm himself down.

"Today, you are blessed with a ray of innate spiritual energy. It is also a reward for your dedication for decades. There is no need to keep this a secret. If the disciples ask about it, just explain it to them." Lin Le nodded continuously: "I know that I will spread the kindness of the master and Yunshan. Let all the disciples of my sect understand that in Yunshan, as long as you work hard and make contributions, you will definitely be rewarded."

Seeing that Lin Le was so excited that he overthought his own ideas, Lu Qian did not correct him and continued speaking.

"Although you have perfected your Qi training, it was only within these few hours. You have directly improved through the mystery of the innate spiritual energy. This is completely different from cultivating bit by bit through your own efforts."

"In the next period of time, you must practice hard to make this Qi training perfect and truly handy, otherwise it will only be a reflection in the water, flashy and without substance."

Seeing that Lin Le had taken it to heart, Lu Qian said with a smile: "Relax your consciousness for a moment, and let me see how strong your consciousness is after you have completed your Qi training and have increased your consciousness storage."

Upon hearing this, Lin Le closed his eyes. Lu Qian stretched out his hand and pressed it between his eyebrows. His own spiritual consciousness had already separated into strands, gently and dispersed, slowly seeping into Lin Le's Niwan Palace.

This method of investigation was taught by Fang Hui, a former guest scholar. It is perfect for investigating other people's souls.

Lu Qian's spiritual sense probed in. Although Lin Le tried to relax, the spiritual sense in his sea of ​​consciousness naturally surged, trying to expel the foreign spiritual sense.

Feeling the surging power of consciousness, Lu Qian was very happy, and continued to use the exploration method. With a lot of twists and turns, and with the cooperation of Lin Le himself, he calmed the restlessness in the sea of ​​consciousness, explored the condition of the sea of ​​consciousness, and slowly entangled Lin Le's soul.

The tenacious and surging power of spiritual consciousness is hidden in the deep sea of ​​​​consciousness. Lin Le's soul appears particularly tenacious because of his extraordinary gift of knowledge storage.

After a while, Lu Qian withdrew his consciousness and opened his eyes in surprise.

"Yes, you have perfected your Qi training and your spiritual power is stronger than that of an ordinary mid-stage foundation building!"

"This is a little better than what I did back then. Xiaolin, your level of knowledge of collection items is higher than mine!"

After hearing Lu Qian's judgment, Lin Le was excited and nervous. He was excited that he had this power, but he also felt that what Lu Qian said was a little better than what he said. He was really terrified and didn't know how to respond.

"Knowledge storage is a treasure bestowed by heaven. To have this level is as rare as a spiritual root." Lu Qian was very happy to be surpassed by Lin Le, "So we must make good use of it."

"With this knowledge, if you set up the Five Elements Formation, you will now be able to use the three changes of the foundation-building level. And with multiple blessings, the power of this three changes is enough to reach the level of the late foundation-building stage."

Ever since Lin Le was discovered to possess the power of Hidden Abyss more than 20 years ago, Lu Qian had bypassed Jiang Qingfeng, his legitimate master, and began to carefully teach Lin Le the art of formations, focusing on the Five Elements Formation.

Lu Qian learned the Five Elements Array from Xuanjizi, strengthened it from Li Zhenru and Xianyou Sect, and obtained the full set of true meanings from Xuanjun's collection of books, completely completing the three categories of Five Elements Array: positive and negative, yin and yang, and strange gate.

In addition to the Five Elements Dao Patterns, which were later deduced from the Immortal Law and the Great Dao Dream Butterfly Heavenly Book, Lu Qian's understanding of the Five Elements has reached an extremely profound level.

His Five Elements Formation, standing on the shoulders of his predecessors, has developed his own style, enough to be written into a book and establish his own school!
Now he broke down his experience and essence of formations and taught them to Lin Le and Bai Tao together with his improved "Secret Book of Waves Formation", which naturally benefited the two greatly.

Especially because Lin Le had the blessing of Shizang, except for being crushed by Bai Tao in terms of cultivation, his understanding of the formation, or the theoretical foundation, had actually surpassed Bai Tao.

Now that his Qi training has been perfected and his spiritual awareness is stronger than that of an ordinary person in the middle stage of foundation building, he should naturally make good use of this power to make the Five Elements Array shine.

It can be said that the current Lin Le is the Lu Qian who fought against Ling Xuzi in the first competition of Shuangyefang!
He then explained a few more things about formation drills and adapting to cultivation. Seeing that Lin Le understood it immediately, Lu Qian didn't waste much time on it.

"Finally, since you have already completed your Qi training, the next step is naturally to prepare for the foundation building."

"The mainstream of the cultivation world believes that the time when the foundation-building opportunity comes is related to the person's luck. From this perspective, although you have poor spiritual roots, your knowledge is amazing. It is always hard to say whether your luck is good or bad."

“But in general, be prepared to wait a few years.”

"Remember to be patient. In any case, the first opportunity to build your foundation will definitely come within five years."

“Don’t be impatient and force your spirit core to open and capture the Dao rhythm before the opportunity comes. It is rare to find a genius like Tianci who can succeed. If you fail to capture it by force, your spirit core will be damaged, which will directly affect your path!”

Lin Le's face was serious and he promised that he would keep it in mind.

Lu Qian was completely confident in his steadiness, so this reminder was actually a bit redundant.

"When your opportunity comes, I will arrange for you to build your foundation."

"Build the foundation, capture the Dao rhyme, engrave the Dao pattern, and build the foundation of the Great Dao."

"The condition of the Dao patterns will directly affect my future magical powers, so I have to be extremely careful."

"According to my judgment, the formation of Dao patterns is not only mainly affected by the technique you practice, but is also directly related to your personal character and endowment."

Does it have something to do with personal character and endowment?
Lin Le couldn't help but think about it.

"I only hope that when you build your foundation, you can obtain the Dao pattern that satisfies your needs, so that you can achieve great things and become famous in the future."

Now that everything that needed to be explained had been completed, Lu Qian smiled and said, "Go."

Lin Le bowed respectfully and took his leave. He walked out of the courtyard and saw the night sky like a canopy, the crescent moon hanging high in the sky, the stars all over the sky, the vast world, and the surging spiritual power in his body made him feel proud.

Endless joy surged in his heart, but Lin Le suddenly became dazed.

Who can share this joy at this moment?

After seeing Lin Le off, Lu Qian picked up the secret letter and opened it.

This is a letter from Bai Ling, the leader of the Yuehua Sect in Quyang County, Qingzhou.

By now, Bai Ling has guessed Lu Qian's true identity.

The fame of the Yunshan Sect spread to all the surrounding provinces, but to ordinary cultivators and sects, it was just an interesting anecdote.

But to the various sects in Quyang County, especially the Qingling Sect, the Wang Family, and Zi Luo Mountain which had become a Qi training sect, it was like a thunderclap.

The Qingling Sect couldn't wait to send spies into Cangzhou, Chongming, and even into the Yunshan Sect to gather information.

It was confirmed that this suddenly rising Yunshan Sect was the original owner of the Yunshan spiritual vein in Quyang County, who went into exile after the sect was destroyed.

In just a few decades, a small foundation-building sect actually had four Golden Cores and even surrounded and killed a Nascent Soul Spirit Lord!
For a moment, Quyang County was like an earthquake! (End of this chapter)
