I, the Wudang junior master, only want to cultivate immortality!

Chapter 118: The Foundation of Wudang's Rise in Kyushu

At this time, on the platform of a giant tree on the back mountain of Tianzhu Peak.

Gu Changfeng lowered his head and looked up at the five earth-attributed spirit stones in the formation, as if thinking about something. Then he quickly replaced the five high-quality earth-attributed spirit stones with low-quality non-attributed spirit stones.

Suddenly, one could clearly feel that the concentration of the surrounding earth-attributed spiritual energy had dropped several times, about three times as much as when there was no formation.

What also changed was that the gathered spiritual energy was no longer of a single earth attribute, but included five attributes: gold, wood, water, fire, and earth!
Gu Changfeng made a summary after feeling it.

"Sure enough, the spiritual energy gathered by the Spirit Gathering Array is based on the properties of the spiritual stones used to build the array."

"If you want to gather more spiritual energy of the five elements, you need five high-quality spiritual stones of different attributes."

"I now possess both earth and wood attributes. What I need is the spiritual energy of both earth and wood attributes. Unfortunately, I don't have a high-quality wood attribute spiritual stone."

However, Gu Changfeng was not too dissatisfied.

Increasing the cultivation speed by three times is already extremely rare. Compared to awakening the spirit body and opening the acupoints in the body, setting up the formation is much easier except for consuming spirit stones.

Based on the speed at which spirit stones are consumed, Gu Changfeng estimated that if it was ordinary spirit stones, no more than fifty would be consumed in a month, and if it was high-quality earth-attribute spirit stones, only five would be consumed in a month.

Compared with the reserves of spiritual stone veins in Wanshilin, it is just a drop in the bucket.

Moreover, the radius of the entire spirit gathering array is as much as a thousand feet, which is considered a very good effect.

Not only that, the range of the spirit gathering array is proportional to the size of the array pattern and the number of spirit stones consumed. It can also be controlled by spiritual consciousness, which is very flexible.

If the cost is not considered, there would be no problem in creating a spirit gathering formation that covers the entire Wudang Mountain.

He waved his hand to put away the spirit stone, and the pattern on the spirit gathering array dimmed.

Suddenly, an idea popped into Gu Changfeng's mind.

'The spirit stone contains spiritual energy, which is a necessary resource for cultivating immortals. Can it carry the skills of cultivating immortals?'

"Even, can we use the array pattern to engrave the skills into it?"

A long time ago, Gu Changfeng had been looking for materials that could carry the immortal cultivation techniques.

After all, more and more people will embark on the path of cultivating immortals in the future, and he can't personally teach them every time, right?
It’s a pity that there has been no harvest so far.

This time, after comprehending the formation and with the spirit stone in his hand, Gu Changfeng suddenly had an inspiration.

Do it when you think of it.

Gu Changfeng found a spirit stone, cut it into a long strip, and spread his spiritual consciousness out and began to engrave on it.

When the engraving of Yi Mu Chang Chun Jue - Qi Training Chapter was completed, Gu Changfeng stopped and looked at the spirit stone in his hand.

Surprisingly, the spiritual energy in the spirit stone seemed to be completely exhausted, and it turned into something that looked like a jade slip. The most important thing was that there were densely packed small characters on it.

He placed the jade slip close to his forehead, and sure enough, words flowed into his mind like running water!
The technique was engraved successfully!

Gu Changfeng showed a look of surprise on his face, and he followed suit, memorizing all the spells except for the magic sword that controlled thunder.

Soon, a pile of jade slips appeared in front of him.

"From now on, there will be no need for me to personally teach you every time!"

After doing all this, Gu Changfeng jumped off the wooden house. As soon as he landed, he was stunned when he saw the scene in front of him.

Jiang Yuyan stood prettily on the grass. Behind her, there stood a pastoral-style cottage that looked unusually fresh.

Previously, Gu Changfeng was so engrossed in studying formations that he did not pay attention to the changes in the surrounding environment.

The entire structure of this hut is made of wood and rock, and was obviously built with the assistance of the ginseng spirit.

The area it covers is not large, but there are gardens in front of and behind the house, which are well maintained, with flowers of various colors complementing each other, making it look like the residence of an elf in a fairy tale.

Quiet, peaceful and beautiful.

"Yuyan has longed to have her own little house since she was a child."

"Master, will you blame me for taking up too much space?"

Jiang Yuyan stood there timidly, her slender fingers constantly fiddling with the hem of her skirt, like an elementary school student who had done something wrong.

Gu Changfeng touched Jiang Yuyan's head and smiled.

"What are you thinking? How can I blame you for such a small thing?"

"Wudang Mountain is so big that even if you build a house ten or a hundred times bigger, there will be no problem at all."

"By the way, Yuyan, this room is so beautiful!"

Jiang Yuyan smiled when she heard that. She couldn't help but hug Gu Changfeng's arms and said sweetly.

"Master is so kind!"

"Master is the best person to Yuyan in this world!"

Then she asked curiously.

"Master, just now a yellow light shot up into the sky, and Yuyan felt that the spiritual energy of the surrounding heaven and earth seemed to become extremely dense, but it disappeared soon after. What happened?"

Gu Changfeng smiled and did not explain immediately. He took Jiang Yuyan to an open space not far away and stomped his feet.

Rumble!
The ground rose up, revealing a huge, flat, circular rock platform with five reserved grooves around it.

Gu Changfeng stepped forward, a green light flashed at his fingertips, and he drew in the air.

After having had the experience once, the second spirit gathering array was quickly engraved.

Then he placed five attributeless spirit stones one by one in the surrounding grooves, and instantly the array patterns were lit up.

Buzz~ The same movement as not long ago appeared, and the surrounding spiritual energy became thicker.

"This is this?"

Looking at Jiang Yuyan's surprised eyes, Gu Changfeng explained.

"Yuyan, you have also practiced Yimu Changchun Jue for a while. After coming to Wudang, you may have discovered that what you practiced is different from traditional martial arts."

"Now, I can tell you clearly that what we practice is completely different from the martial arts, the immortal way created by me!"

"Once you reach the foundation-building stage, your life span will immediately increase to more than 200 years, completely transcending the realm of mortals!"

"The higher the realm, the longer the lifespan. Our ultimate goal is immortality!" Jiang Yuyan was so shocked when she heard this that she couldn't express it in words for a moment. She looked at Gu Changfeng with admiration in her eyes.

'My master actually created a whole new path of cultivation?'

"Sendoh? It sounds like a very kind and powerful person!"

"Immortality? Can I really achieve that?"

She quickly collected her thoughts, and Gu Changfeng's voice continued to reach her ears.

"This is a spirit gathering formation, which can gather the spiritual energy between heaven and earth, increasing the concentration of spiritual energy within a thousand miles around it, and can increase the speed of cultivation by about three times."

Having said that, Gu Changfeng gave Jiang Yuyan instructions.

"In addition to the techniques, there are also hundreds of arts for cultivating immortals, including alchemy, formations, etc."

"This spirit gathering array is what is contained in the array path. Yuyan, the immortal path is ethereal and all-encompassing. As my first disciple, you should be brave and diligent."

After hearing this, Jiang Yuyan nodded seriously with a sincere tone.

"Master, rest assured. Yuyan will practice hard and live up to your reputation!"

Gu Changfeng patted Jiang Yuyan's shoulder and his tone became gentler.

"Don't feel too stressed. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me."

At this moment, Mo Shenggu's hearty voice rang out.

"Hahaha, what good stuff has Junior Brother come up with again?"

Without even turning around to look, Gu Changfeng had already seen Song Yuanqiao and others who were on their way with his spiritual sense.

When they came closer, Gu Changfeng smiled.

"It's just a spirit gathering array. Consuming spirit stones can increase the cultivation speed by about three times."

three times?
Yu Daying, who had already embarked on the path of cultivating immortals, suddenly widened his eyes and spoke quickly.

"Junior brother, there is nothing more to say. I will move in today!"

While Song Yuanqiao and others were joking, envy was revealed in their eyes.

Gu Changfeng's spiritual perception was so sharp that he naturally took in everyone's expressions and spoke immediately.

"Brothers, please follow me."

Soon, everyone came to five thick stone pillars, and Gu Changfeng pointed at the stone pillars and explained.

"I have improved the method of testing spiritual root compatibility."

"Each of these stone pillars represents a spiritual root attribute, and has ten scales, divided into ten levels."

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound, and sure enough, on the top of two of the stone pillars there were patterns of a small tree and a rock, respectively. They were believed to represent the wood and earth spiritual roots, while the other three stone pillars were still empty.

"Hey, since there are new spiritual root attributes, let me try it first."

Mo Shenggu looked eager to try. He rolled up his sleeves and walked towards the stone pillar representing the earth-attributed spiritual root, then raised his hand and pressed it.

hum~
An ochre-colored light lit up from the bottom of the stone pillar and stopped at about the sixth square, which was similar to Yu Daying's previous talent.

Gu Changfeng nodded upon seeing this. After several experiments, those who had a degree of compatibility of five or above were considered talented, and would have no problem cultivating to the foundation-building stage at least.

However, if one wants to cultivate to the Golden Core Stage or even the higher Nascent Soul Stage, it is estimated that at least seven grids or more must be lit up.

"Oh! Junior Brother, it seems that I have a connection with this earth-attributed spiritual root!"

Mo Shenggu looked delighted.

Immediately afterwards, Song Yuanqiao and others began to test them one by one.

Zhang Songxi, Zhang Cuishan and others either did not light up at all, or only one or two squares were lit up.

However, Song Yuanqiao was far ahead this time, and the stone pillar lit up eight bars!
He is the most talented person Gu Changfeng has ever seen except Jiang Yuyan, and at this moment he can't stop smiling.

Afterwards, Song Qingshu and Wang Mu were brought in for testing.

Song Qingshu was similar to his father Song Yuanqiao, with seven grids lit up, which was considered a good talent for cultivating immortals, and he was immediately ecstatic.

But the little fat guy Wang Mu is in a miserable situation. Only two squares of the earth attribute are lit up, and only three squares of the wood attribute are lit up.

It seems that it’s not that the previous compatibility test method is problematic, but that his talent is indeed somewhat poor.

According to Gu Changfeng's estimation, the second level of loyalty means that one can only cultivate to the peak of the Qi training stage in his lifetime. Without a great opportunity, it is basically impossible to break through the foundation building stage.

After getting this result, the little fat boy sat alone on the grass, feeling sad and obviously deeply shocked.

Gu Changfeng felt a little bit reluctant, so he patted Wang Mu on the shoulder and comforted him.

"Don't be discouraged. Although you are not very suitable for the wood and earth attributes, there may be other attributes that are more suitable for you."

Wang Mu nodded and showed a smile that was uglier than crying.

Next, of course, is the process of reshaping the spiritual roots and passing on the skills.

The difference is that this time, Gu Changfeng did not choose to personally create an environment with special properties.

Instead, he built a small hut, engraved a small spirit gathering array on it, and placed a high-quality earth-attributed spirit stone inside it.

After the formation was activated, the earth-attributed spiritual energy in the hut suddenly became extremely rich.

Gu Changfeng asked Song Qingshu to go in first and monitor the situation outside.

Fortunately, everything went well and the earth-attributed spiritual root was successfully shaped.

Soon after, Song Yuanqiao and Mo Shenggu also repeated Song Qingshu's method and successfully entered the path of immortality, each holding a jade slip for passing on their skills.

The three of them couldn't wait to say goodbye and leave, preparing to move to a nearby place to start practicing tonight.

After everyone left, Gu Changfeng looked at the five thick stone pillars and the small house in front of him, with an expression of emotion on his face.

"After that, as long as I find spiritual stones with corresponding properties, I won't have to do anything to produce immortal cultivators in large quantities."

"This is the foundation for our Wudang to rise in the Nine Provinces!"
