The Ji Family's Pride

Chapter 81 A Treasure Book
A figure in a green Taoist robe was walking forward step by step on a stone bridge in a daze. Every time he took a step, he would pause for a while, or a moment, or even a day.

As time passed, Ji Xiaoshan finally took the fourteenth step.

The moment he took this step, his whole body trembled, his soul gradually awakened, and his consciousness returned to himself at this moment.

"Am I on the other side?" Ji Xiaoshan got off the stone bridge and felt his whole body was clear. The picture of a Taoist riding a flat-horned green bull in his sea of ​​consciousness was shining brightly.

"The seven emotions and six desires, the worldly world refines the heart. This illusion has the effect of transforming me." Ji Xiaoshan murmured, then turned and looked at the stone bridge.

On the river bank, a stone tablet was erected next to the bridge. It was made of the same strange stone as the stone bridge. There were a few lines of words engraved on the side facing him. Ji Xiaoshan looked at it carefully and then said softly, "The world is rolling, the heart of Tao is turbid, the seven emotions and six desires cleanse the turbid heart."

Ji Xiaoshan pondered for a moment, then chuckled.

"There is no text on the back of this stone tablet. Just now on the river bank, it was difficult to see the text on the stone tablet. But if you really saw it, you would also have to step onto this stone bridge."

"There is only one road left. Looking at it will confuse my mind. It is better not to look at it. The master who designed this stone bridge is very clever."

Stepping onto the stone bridge is like a cultivator embarking on the path of cultivation. The road ahead is full of fog, and all difficulties and obstacles are hidden in it. Only by burning your boats and sinking your boats can you forge a way out. After going through this catastrophe, looking back, you will find that the boat has passed through thousands of mountains.

"Well, this illusion is not only for the heart of Tao! It also benefits the soul so much? The soul can probably be projected more than 800 miles away." Ji Xiaoshan sensed his whole body and soon discovered that not only his heart of Tao became more perfect, but his soul also grew a lot.

The improvement of Tao heart is of great help to a cultivator's practice. Ji Xiaoshan's strongest practice now is the sword path. The sword path is a great way with overwhelming power.

The next is the Dao of Sword Song which has reached the realm of Dao. The rest is the Dao of Flowing Water which has been comprehended all the way but is always lacking a slight opportunity to directly step into the realm of Dao. The worse one is the Dao of Fiery Fire which is realized together with the Dao of Flowing Water.

However, the improvement of his Tao heart this time made him vaguely gain a deeper understanding of the ways of cultivation he had comprehended.

……

Wow!
Suddenly, a huge bull head shadow suddenly appeared beside the bridge, and a deep voice said, "Little guy, congratulations on passing the first level set by my master. According to the rules, I can give you a treasure."

Ji Xiaoshan looked over and found that the phantom looked familiar. After a brief recollection, he found that this phantom was exactly the same as the one that swallowed them up on Chaoyin Fairy Island.

"Is this a weapon spirit?" He felt the ancient aura emanating from the phantom, and wondered in his heart. He had memories of his past life, so he naturally knew that some powerful magic weapons had weapon spirits, and could even be cultivated directly like immortals. If we talk about the one who has achieved the greatest success in the Three Realms, it must be the magic weapon spirit of the Book of Life and Death, Cui Fujun, who cultivated to the Pure Yang True Immortal.

"Senior!" Ji Xiaoshan thought of this and said more respectfully.

"Little guy, you are very good." The bull-headed phantom nodded, "This mortal world is a place where the heart is tempered. Few immortal cultivators can make it through, but if you can make it through, it will be of great benefit to your soul and your heart of Tao."

"Thank you for your praise, Senior." Ji Xiaoshan said modestly, and then asked the spirit of the Bull Head Magical Treasure, "I wonder what kind of treasure you are talking about."

"Hmm!" The Bull Head Magical Treasure's spirit paused, then said, "You are now in the Myriad Realm. According to the rules, you can choose an Earth-level treasure or other treasures of equal value."

"Earth-grade treasures?" Ji Xiaoshan was a little disappointed after hearing this. He still had sixty or seventy unused earth-grade magic weapons in his storage of magic weapons, not to mention a set of thirty-six heaven-grade flying swords and several heaven-grade magic weapons he had just obtained.

"Little guy!" The Bull-Headed Magical Weapon Spirit shook his head and laughed, not wanting to argue with him. "I know you must think that the treasures of the Earth Rank are too low in value, but my master is a powerful being of such a high level that the treasures he brings out cannot be compared to those counterfeit goods from the outside world. Well, it's useless to say more to you, just take a look at this booklet first!"

The Bull Head Magical Treasure Spirit waved its hand, and a thick golden booklet appeared in its hand, which it handed directly to Ji Xiaoshan. "These are the earth-level treasures that I have selected and are more suitable for you. This opportunity only comes once, but they are extremely precious, so choose carefully."

"So many!" Ji Xiaoshan was delighted. If it was a treasure in the hands of a powerful person, even if it was of the Earth level, it would be worth looking forward to. Then he took the thick golden booklet and looked through it carefully.

"God-killing Circle? Great Teleportation Talisman?" Ji Xiaoshan flipped through the first page and saw two treasures that were very familiar to him. He couldn't take his eyes off them instantly.

Needless to say, this Great Teleportation Talisman is a life-saving item. When encountering a life-or-death crisis, you can just crush it to pieces. Even if you are in another space, you can leave directly if you encounter a space blockade.

The God-killing Circle is a killing artifact. Once it is used, even ordinary earth immortals and scattered immortals will have no resistance and will be directly wiped out at the soul level. It is more effective against some gods and demons with weaker souls. "This..." Ji Xiaoshan was a little embarrassed. He finally understood where the spirit of the artifact came from. Just looking at the first two treasures, he wanted them all, not to mention that he hadn't read the rest yet.

"Hahaha! Little guy, I don't know who was looking down on the earth-level treasures just now." Seeing this, the spirit of the Bull-Head Magical Weapon laughed and then teased.

"Choose carefully! If you have the ability to pass the subsequent trials, the treasures you get will be even more valuable. This is just the beginning! Of course, if you are not sure, you have already passed the first trial and want to leave. You can just exchange the treasures and leave. It all depends on your own decision."

Leave? This is a great opportunity. If you leave, you can never come back. Ji Xiaoshan is not stupid. After passing the first test, he will naturally try the second one. All he has to weigh is to choose the most suitable treasure.

He thought about it, but didn't say anything. He continued to flip through the pages one by one. In the book, there were precious sets of top-grade magic weapons, and strange objects with special effects. He even saw treasures such as the Yiqi Yuanshui Pearl and the Yiqi Lihuo Pearl in the book.

"This Qi Qiankun Pearl..." Ji Xiaoshan carefully read the information introducing the pearl.

This Qi Qiankun Pearl is a treasure similar to the Yiqi Yuanshui Pearl. Both are natural treasures that can give birth to a second soul. The only difference is that the Yiqi Yuanshui Pearl is naturally close to the way of water, while this Qi Qiankun Pearl is naturally closer to the way of heaven and earth. If this treasure is used to give birth to a second soul, it will be easier to comprehend the way of heaven and earth.

"The second soul nurtured by this bead can actually help one comprehend the great Dao of heaven and earth?" Ji Xiaoshan was extremely surprised after reading the message from the Qiankun Bead. With the help of this bead, he could continue to delve deeper into the Lingxiao Sword Canon, in which he had profound attainments, and achieve twice the result with half the effort.

“Treasures like the Yiqi Yuanshui Pearl can help cultivators get closer to the way of water and comprehend it more easily. So what’s so strange about the Yiqi Qiankun Pearl being able to help people comprehend the great way of heaven and earth. It’s just easier, and it doesn’t mean that one can definitely comprehend it. The way to comprehend the way of cultivation depends entirely on the cultivator’s own comprehension!” The spirit of the Bull Head magic weapon saw Ji Xiaoshan’s naive look and was quite happy, so he explained.

Ji Xiaoshan listened, his eyes bright. Although he already had a Xuanpin Pearl, who would want to use a mediocre treasure if there was a top-notch one? This was the Qiankun Avenue! It was an extremely powerful one among the three thousand avenues. If he could breed a second soul with it, it would have a higher potential than the second soul bred by the Xuanpin Pearl.

After a while.

"Senior, can I leave in the middle of the next trial?" Ji Xiaoshan slowly closed the book and asked.

"Leave? On the road to cultivating immortals, there is no regret for the move you make. There are only two choices, either to go through the trial and exchange the treasure for the departure, or to fall directly in the trial and die. There is no third choice." The spirit of the bull-headed magic weapon glanced at Ji Xiaoshan, snorted coldly, and said lightly.

"Since I can't leave, senior, then I will choose this Qi Qiankun Pearl!" Ji Xiaoshan's eyes were determined. Now his soul could be projected over 800 miles away, which was enough to give birth to a second soul. This top-notch second soul carrier was many times stronger than the Xuanpin Pearl. If he could give birth to a second soul, it would greatly enhance his strength.

This Qi Qiankun Pearl brought him closer to the Great Dao of Qiankun, and it must have also slightly improved his Lingxiao Sword Canon, which was his most profound attainment.

Anyway, the spirit of the weapon didn't say there was a time limit for taking the trial. If the soul hadn't recovered, at worst, you could just visualize the soul all the time, and then take the trial after you've recovered.

"Are you sure you want to choose this Qi Qiankun Pearl? No change?" The spirit of the Bull Head magic weapon said in astonishment. It did not expect Ji Xiaoshan to be so decisive. All the immortal cultivators it met before had looked through them over and over again, wanting this and that, but they did not know that the road to immortal cultivation should be one of decisiveness.

"This is it. I won't change it!" Ji Xiaoshan nodded heavily.

"Okay!" The spirit of the Bull Head magic weapon said no more and directly took away the booklet containing various treasures from Ji Xiaoshan's hand. Then he waved his hand, and a bead emitting a mysterious aura appeared in front of Ji Xiaoshan.

"This is the Qi Qiankun Pearl."

Ji Xiaoshan looked at the bead that exuded a mysterious aura, his eyes lit up, and then he put it away.

"Senior, no one should disturb us here!"

The spirit of the Bull Head Magical Treasure was stunned, "Your spiritual awareness can be projected four hundred miles away?"

Ji Xiaoshan nodded. It was more than just four hundred miles away. Now that he had refined his mind in the mortal world, his soul had become even stronger, so it was no problem for him to be able to project his energy eight hundred miles away.

"No one will come here for the time being, you can practice here!" said the spirit of the Bull Head magic weapon directly.

Ji Xiaoshan smiled and said immediately, "Senior, I will practice in seclusion here!"
