Immortality and Immortality: Liver Experience Begins in the Desert

On the third day after the battle, the morning light penetrated the mist like broken gold, gently sprinkling on the reborn city.

The streets are crowded with people, and the constant hawking sounds and the crisp sounds of carriage bells are intertwined, like a cheerful movement of recovery.

Jiang Qiong had just properly accommodated the wounded of the patrol team and carefully counted the seized supplies. His sweat had not yet dried when he prepared to return to his residence to practice in seclusion and consolidate the insights he had accumulated in recent battles.

Just as he turned around, he was suddenly patted on the waist. Looking back, he saw Li Yi and three colleagues approaching him with their arms around each other, with sly smiles on their faces.

Li Yi waved the gold-plated invitation in his hand, his eyes full of mischief: "Brother Jiang, the newly opened 'Lingyun Pavilion' in the west of the city is of great significance! The Pavilion Master is said to be the direct disciple of the elder of the Tianxuan Sect. The spiritual food in the pavilion is not only delicious, but also can strengthen the body and nourish the essence; the singing and dancing are even more unique, and it is said that they can induce spiritual resonance. If you don't go, you will lose a lot!"

"Yes, Brother Jiang, just relax!" Other colleagues also echoed and pulled. Jiang Qiong couldn't resist the enthusiasm of the crowd, so he had to smile and agree.

The group walked through the main road paved with bluestone and turned into a street with a faint fragrance. From afar, a towering building pierced through the clouds, with a magnificent momentum.

The eaves are inlaid with luminous pearls, which still emit a warm glow even in the sunlight, setting off against the gorgeous clouds in the sky, like a fairyland.

The vermilion pillars were as thick as three people could hug together, and were wrapped with fluorescent spiritual vines. The flowers blooming between the vines emitted star-like light, swaying gently in the breeze, making clear and pleasant tinkling sounds, as if playing a silent welcome song.

Looking up, the three large characters "Lingyun Pavilion" on the plaque were written in graceful strokes. They were actually written with gold mixed with spiritual sand. Under the sunlight, they refracted thousands of tiny golden lights, dazzling the eyes.

Pushing open the carved wooden door, a warm current carrying the fragrance of spiritual fruits rushed towards Jiang Qiong. He couldn't help but take a deep breath and felt refreshed.

As he stepped into the pavilion, the sight in front of him made his pupils shrink slightly - the first floor hall was more spacious than he had imagined, a hundred feet square. The white jade slabs on the ground were engraved with intricate and exquisite spirit gathering array patterns, which were now emitting light green spiritual energy, condensing into faint clouds between the beams and pillars, like a dream.

The circular stage in the center is carved from a whole piece of black jade, and its edge is inlaid with seventy-two luminous pearls, emitting a soft glow, making the stage look like a mysterious island under the moonlight.

Ebony round tables were neatly arranged around, each of which was placed with crystal jade tableware. A few glowing spiritual leaves were floating in the cups, and strange patterns flowed between the light and shadow, as if containing some kind of mysterious power.

"Come here!" Li Yi waved from the perfect position close to the stage. As soon as Jiang Qiong sat down, two maids with veils covering their faces came over.

They have graceful figures, and the spirit beads in their hair draw flowing tracks with their steps. The icy jade tea cups in their hands are crystal clear, and the naturally formed mountain and cloud patterns on the cup walls are clearly visible, like a series of vivid ink paintings.

The tea soup is light green with a layer of fine spiritual bubbles floating on the surface. Take a sip, and a cool spiritual energy flows down the throat directly to the dantian. The fatigue from days of running around is like ice and snow meeting the sun, disappearing without a trace in an instant.

At this moment, eight glazed palace lanterns suddenly lit up, and the soft lights dyed the stage into a hazy moonlight. Eight musicians dressed in moon-white shark silk gauze skirts walked slowly onto the stage with lotus steps.

Each of them has picturesque eyebrows and eyes, with a crescent moon mark painted with spiritual sand on their foreheads. Their black hair is loosely tied up with ribbons of the same color, and the exquisite jade hairpins in their hair are carved with lifelike phoenixes, which sway gently with their steps.

The leading female musician holds a jiaoweiqin in her arms, lightly plucking the strings with her fingertips. The ethereal sound of the piano is like cold spring water washing over stones, instantly bringing everyone into a quiet and distant world.

Then, the crisp sound of the pipa, the graceful sound of the konghou and the melodious sound of the flute sounded one after another, sometimes as gentle as the spring breeze blowing on the willows, and sometimes as passionate as the waves crashing on the shore. Jiang Qiong only felt that the spiritual energy around her body was vibrating slightly with the music, as if she had some kind of wonderful resonance with this wonderful music.

The music gradually faded, and sixteen colorful streams of light suddenly came in from both sides of the stage.

The dancers were dressed in gowns as thin as cicada wings, with auspicious cloud patterns embroidered with silver thread faintly visible under the gauze. With every step they took, the hem of their skirts would bloom into fleeting spiritual flowers, gorgeous and eye-catching.

The leading dancer in red was breathtakingly beautiful, with stars twinkling in her eyes, and the red diamond on her forehead became brighter as she danced, like a dancing flame.

She raised her white hands lightly, and colorful ribbons flew out of the air, condensing into a lifelike phoenix in the air, flapping its wings and ready to fly.

The other dancers cooperated with each other in perfect harmony, some were as light as butterflies flying through flowers, some were as agile as dragons entering the sea. As the ribbons fluttered, the whole stage turned into a flowing cloud, which was a feast for the eyes.

As Jiang Qiong tasted the amazing spiritual food, she was deeply shocked by the magnificent scene before her. The spiritual shrimps on the plate were transparent, and the patterns on their bodies were exactly the same as the spiritual formation on the ground, as if they were a masterpiece condensed from the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

After biting it open, rich spiritual energy explodes in your mouth, flows along the meridians, and nourishes every inch of your skin.

The spiritual fruit platter was colorful, the purple ones were as gorgeous as the sunset, the red ones were as gorgeous as agate, and each fruit was wrapped in a thin layer of spiritual halo, which turned into strands of warm currents as soon as they entered the mouth, gently blending into the meridians, making him feel indescribably comfortable all over.

As the singing and dancing reached its climax, Jiang Qiong suddenly felt the spiritual energy in his dantian surging like boiling water, and the meridians in his body seemed to be struck by countless small hammers at the same time. The spiritual energy running around made his face turn red instantly, and his breathing became rapid.

"Not good!" He was startled, and suddenly closed his eyes, practicing Qianyan Gongfa. This set of exercises has always been known for its mystery, and it emphasizes using spiritual energy as ink and meridians as paper to outline the spiritual energy of heaven and earth into exquisite patterns in the body. However, at this moment, under the stimulation of the rich spiritual energy of Lingyun Pavilion and this beautiful rhythmic dance, a wonderful change occurred.

The spiritual energy vortex in his dantian spun faster and faster, making a deafening roar. The spiritual energy in his meridians was like a flood that broke through a dam, rushing madly towards the bottleneck that had troubled him for a long time.

The spiritual energy of the entire attic seemed to be inspired by some mysterious force, transforming into bright bands of light, rushing in through the gaps between the doors and windows, and condensing into a huge cyclone around Jiang Qiong.

Under his skin, blue blood vessels protruded like earthworms, veins bulged on his forehead, and beads of sweat the size of beans kept dripping down his jaw, soon soaking his clothes.

Jiang Qiong felt that every inch of her skin was being madly washed away by the spiritual energy, as if she was being pierced by countless fine needles at the same time, or as if she was in a raging fire. The pain was unbearable.

But he gritted his teeth, concentrated all his will on his dantian, and controlled the spiritual energy to attack the stubborn barrier again and again.

"Boom!" A thunderous muffled sound exploded from within his body. Jiang Qiong felt thousands of flashes of inspiration in his mind, and the bottleneck in his realm that had trapped him for many years was shattered.

An extremely powerful aura spread out from him in all directions. The jade tableware on the table vibrated violently, and the tea in the cup condensed into water droplets suspended in the air.

The guests around all looked at him in shock, and saw that Jiang Qiong was surrounded by light golden aura, and a faint aura vortex appeared above his head, madly absorbing the aura in the attic, like a black hole that could never be filled.

The Qianyan technique started to work automatically, and Jiang Qiong felt that the spiritual energy between heaven and earth suddenly became clearly visible. The hawkers' cries in the distance, the whispers of the guests upstairs, and even the subtle sounds of the spiritual vines growing were all heard very clearly. His meridians were widened several times, and the spiritual energy in his dantian was like a vast ocean. Every time he practiced the technique, he could clearly feel the spiritual energy forming a new cycle in his body.

When he slowly opened his eyes, a bright light flashed in his eyes, and every move he made exuded an indescribable sense of elegance and transcendence.

"Brother Jiang! This... is a breakthrough?!" Li Yi's voice changed with excitement. His colleagues gathered around him, their eyes full of envy and amazement.

Jiang Qiong was about to respond when he heard steady and powerful footsteps and an old man in a gray robe approached with his hands behind his back.

The old man's eyes were as sharp as lightning, and there was a vague aura of pressure lingering around him. Just standing there, people could not help but feel awe.

"My friend, you have extraordinary talent. You can break through in the resonance of spiritual rhythm. This opportunity is rare in a thousand years." The old man stroked his beard and smiled, his eyes full of admiration. "If you have free time in the future, I hope you can come often. There are some skills and experiences suitable for my friend on the third floor of the library. Maybe they can help you reach a higher level."

Jiang Qiong bowed respectfully, but her heart was filled with turmoil.

He knew very well that although this breakthrough was inseparable from the opportunity of Lingyun Pavilion, it was also the result of countless days and nights of hard practice.

Without daily accumulation, even the best opportunities will be missed.

As the night deepened, Jiang Qiong and his colleagues walked out of Lingyun Pavilion. The lights on the street were dim, but his eyes were shining with a light brighter than the stars.

He tightly grasped the soft sword at his waist, feeling the surging spiritual power in his body. At this moment, he had a completely new understanding of the way of cultivating immortals - the so-called opportunity always favors those who are prepared.

Only by keeping our feet on the ground and working hard can we seize opportunities when they come and achieve breakthroughs.

Back in the practice room, Jiang Qiong immediately went into seclusion to stabilize his state. As the technique was running, he could clearly see the spiritual energy flowing through his meridians, shining like a brilliant galaxy.

Every time the cyclone in Dantian rotates, it can absorb more spiritual energy from heaven and earth, allowing his strength to continue to increase.

When he swung out the soft sword, the sword energy condensed into a flexible sword shadow in the air, which faintly overlapped with the dancer's ribbon shadow that day, full of mysterious charm.

Jiang Qiong raised a confident smile on his face. He knew that his legend of cultivating immortals had just begun.

In the days that followed, Jiang Qiong practiced harder and harder. He often stared at the direction of Lingyun Pavilion in the middle of the night, recalling the mysterious feeling when he broke through.

The inspiration he gained from music and dance was skillfully integrated into his sword techniques and martial arts, creating more sophisticated and powerful moves.

At the same time, he did not forget the instructions of the city lord and the immortal master. In addition to practicing diligently every day, he would also carefully patrol the city for unusual movements.

He understood that in this ever-changing world of cultivating immortals, only by constantly strengthening himself could he protect the peace of this city, walk out a glorious path of his own, and leave a strong mark on the path of cultivating immortals.

Time flies, and three months have passed in the blink of an eye. After Jiang Qiong made a breakthrough in Lingyun Pavilion, he handed over the patrol guard work in an orderly manner.

During his daily patrols, he looked at the mottled defensive array on the city wall and would always think of the dangerous moments in the battle in the forest.

The path of cultivating immortals is like sailing against the current. He knows very well that if he wants to touch the threshold of a higher realm, he must not be confined to one corner.

So, he wrapped a new tassel around the soft sword, and on a misty morning, he resolutely embarked on a long journey.

Following the instructions on the yellowed ancient scroll, Jiang Qiong arrived at the teleportation array square in the city.

This place is always shrouded in a lavender halo. The ups and downs of spiritual power are like tides, making the corners of the monks' clothes rustle.

Eight dragon-shaped stone pillars supported the dome, and each rune was glowing with a faint blue light, as if countless stars had fallen to the earth. Jiang Qiong took out three medium-grade spirit stones and put them into the grooves. In an instant, the spirit beads on the top of the stone pillars lit up at the same time, wrapping him in a dazzling light.

The dizziness of space distortion surged like a tide, and Jiang Qiong felt that all of her internal organs were stirred by an invisible force. When the light dissipated, the salty sea breeze, wrapped in fine sea mist, blew in her face, and turned into crystal water droplets when it stained her eyelashes.

Looking up, you can see a city gate built of giant coral reefs standing tall. The deep blue sea rocks are inlaid with glowing seaweed, which reflects a rainbow halo in the sunlight, just like the crown of the sea god left in the world.

"We've arrived at Cangming City." Jiang Qiong gently stroked the soft sword at his waist and walked through the city gate engraved with tidal patterns.

The scene in the city made his pupils shrink suddenly: the streets were not paved with ordinary stone slabs, but were made of translucent sea crystal bricks. There were schools of glowing fish swimming in the dark river below, turning the reflections of passers-by into flowing spots of light.

The shop signs on the street are all carved from whale bones, and the hanging sea soul bead lanterns flicker with the fluctuations of spiritual energy, sometimes turning into the phantom of a blue whale, and sometimes condensing into the shape of a jellyfish.

The most amazing thing is the Central Canal, where the water is a deep peacock blue and cruise ships made of thousand-year-old clam shells float on its surface.

The bow of the ship is carved with a lifelike mermaid, and the stern is inlaid with a statue of a black turtle that can spray water.

As Jiang Qiong stopped to watch, a pleasure boat decorated with pearl curtains slowly passed by. A singing girl on the deck was playing music with a conch horn. The sound waves swept across the water and actually stirred up the floating water lilies.

"Is this fellow Taoist here for the first time?" A clear female voice came from behind.

Jiang Qiong turned around and saw a female cultivator in a water-blue gauze skirt holding a coral folding fan. The shell hair ornament in her hair was shining with tiny silver lights. (End of this chapter)
