Chapter 52 Beauty’s Grace

The old monk pondered for a moment: "Shi Yuan, Situ Shi Yuan.

If your elders are familiar with Huang Shang, you should know that Huang Shang's sister is called Shi Yuan, an outer disciple of Xianyou Sect.

"Outer disciple?" Shen Suiren was dumbfounded, her mind suddenly a little confused.

My master is a disciple of Xianyou Sect...

Wait, wait, wait, if it is true, then in the future, there will be no need for Master to be a guest elder. After forming the elixir, he will naturally be promoted to the elder of the sect.

No, no, why would my master, a Jindan cultivator, call himself a casual cultivator? He never brought me to the northwest.

Also, the reaction of the person in front of me was not right. His question just now meant that Situ Shiyuan was not in the sect, right?

"Brother Tan, could the Shi Yuan you mentioned be the same person I mentioned?" She was a little unsure. There was too little information, and it was not easy to cover up the lie.

The old monk narrowed his eyes at her and asked, "Junior Sister Suichu, do you really have an elder who knows these siblings?"

"Please forgive me, senior brother, I don't know much about this elder." She was the one who issued the task.

Fortunately, I didn’t bring up the task of finding Shi Yuan with Senior Brother Lu that day, otherwise it would be difficult to keep the conversation going now.

It was strange, she never thought that her master might be a disciple of Xianyou Sect, and she could no longer issue tasks to inquire about this information.

I have to find Situ Shiyuan and find out what she looks like. Oh, and I also have to find Juexing and get the master I painted back.

"Oh, what's your name, elder? Maybe I know him." The old monk may be old but his mind is still young. He felt that Shi Yuan was the person she was looking for.

Shen Suiren calmly shook his head and said without changing his expression, "I never said that."

"Alright, as long as they're not enemies, it's fine to pit fellow disciples against each other.

See you later." The old monk released the flying boat and was about to leave.

Shen Suiren took two steps to catch up and threw a bag of spirit stones at him: "This is the reward for the second mission."

"This isn't a mission." The old monk threw back the spirit stone. "If you have any news about Situ Shiyuan, come find me at Wenfu Peak. I'll definitely reward you handsomely."

Shen Suiren clutched the bag of spirit stones and watched him leave. Thousands of thoughts raced through his mind, ultimately turning into a sigh.

They come from different places, and naturally things and people have changed, but she is still looking for the sword on the boat.

She had a vague suspicion that she and her master had only been together as a disciple for a few years in her previous life.

"Junior Sister Suichu, why are you walking?

"Have you bought a new flying boat yet? I'll take you wherever you want to go." The senior sister who had won the Yang Yuan Dan with me last time passed by, and her flying sword stopped beside her.

Shen Suiren waved at her. It seemed that the news of his being intercepted in the market had spread. "Thank you for your kindness, Senior Sister. I still have a flying carpet. I'll just take a walk and think about things."

"It seems that you are not worthy of my beauty's kindness. Don't regret it, little junior sister." The senior sister cast a coquettish glance at her and flew away.

Shen Suiren was amused by her cuteness, and then released the flying carpet, heading for the Eryoufeng Library.

As the saying goes, a man of great learning has a wealth of knowledge and is well versed in books. The library is located here and is worthy of this responsibility.

Most of the books and jade slips on the first floor are open to disciples free of charge.

The second, third, fourth and fifth floors contain secret manuals on elixirs, weapons, talismans and arrays used from the Foundation Establishment Stage to the Spirit Transformation Stage. All of them require merit points or spirit stones to borrow.

The third-floor library order that Shen Suiren obtained could only be used this time. It would be unfair to her sea of consciousness that she had opened up earlier if she let go of so many Jindan classics, so she planned to fight until dawn.

Before that, one must follow the steps to find the Qi Refining Technique of the Ancient Formation Sect.

Her spiritual consciousness had reached the foundation-building stage, and with more energy, she soon found the row of bookshelves with this entry.

But as soon as she placed the jade slip containing the mental method on her forehead, she found something wrong. The mental method written on it was inconsistent with what she was practicing.

The more you study it word by word, the more differences you can find, from Tiantu to Renmai, descending Qi back to the origin... the beginning and the end are correct, but the order of the spiritual orifices in the middle that guide the flow of spiritual energy is different.

In the end, who made the mistake?

Behind two rows of bookcases, Master Lei Dun, who was reading a scroll, noticed her biting her lip in deep thought, then looked at the entries in the bookcase in front of her and quickly came over to wake her up, "New Year!"

"Here." Shen Suiren took away the jade slip with a start, and looked at the person who came with a little confusion in his eyes.

Master Lei Dun snatched the jade slip and put it back, then used his spiritual consciousness to transmit a message: "If you don't understand the third floor's mental method, stop immediately to avoid going astray."

"It's Elder Lei." Shen Suiren was about to greet him, but he stopped him, "There's no need to observe these conventional etiquette in the library.

Don't disturb others, let's sit by the window."

There are not only cushions and cross-legged seats by the windows of the library, but also long tables and armchairs. However, drinking tea and eating are not allowed here.

Moreover, this area is specially equipped with a soundproofing array, so people who are resting don’t have to worry about disturbing others and can speak loudly.

"Did Senior Brother Hengde give you a note to come to the third floor?
The older the transformation technique, the better. "After returning to the sect, Master Lei Dun has been researching materials in the library, unconcerned with external affairs.

Shen Suiren thought for a moment and said, "No, I'm looking up ancient books."

"Do you know that I will be the successor of the leader of the Daode Peak in the future?" Lei Dun asked her with amusement. All the disciples studying in the Transmission Hall must be reviewed by him on their progress in cultivation and test results.

Although Shen Suiren did not meet all the Nascent Soul elders of the sect, he knew the names of the masters of the major peaks and their direct disciples from the map exhibited in the Foreign Affairs Hall.

And True Man Lei Dun is the first disciple of Master Quan, the master of the Wendao Peak. Just as True Man Qin is the direct disciple of Elder Gongsun, he is considered the young master of the peak.

She hesitated for a moment, then transmitted her consciousness: "Disciple did not choose the Formation Sect's Heart Method, but instead practiced the Qi Refining Technique on her own."

"no the same?"

"Ah."

"You wait."

Thunder Shield shrunk to the bookcase, used his spiritual power to carry some broken scrolls back, and handed over a pair of ice silk gloves: "Put them on, and take a look at these first."

After a pause, he asked again: "It's all ancient characters, can you understand it?"

"Know a little."

“Read as much as you understand, and put the book down immediately if you feel uncomfortable.”

"Yes."

While Shen Suiren was flipping through the book with his gloves, he went downstairs and sent several flying swords to deliver the book.

After receiving the reply a moment later, Lei Dun fell into deep thought.

Upstairs, Shen Suiren was also thinking. The mental method written on the scroll in her hand was exactly the same as what she was practicing.

That’s right, she not only understands a little bit of ancient characters, but she knows all of them, including demon characters and even devil characters.

The book clearly states that by using this method to refine Qi, each advancement will lead to reaching the peak of the early, middle and late stages.

Among them, those who have all five elements of spiritual roots and whose average value reaches more than eighty, will open their sea of consciousness after drawing qi into their bodies.

The third and fourth spiritual roots are slightly inferior. Under the influence of external forces, the five elements are balanced, and the sea of consciousness can be opened up in the early stage of Qi training. The average root value must also be above eighty.

The translation means that the Qi Refining period of ancient cultivators is the same as the Foundation Establishment and Core Formation period of today, which is only divided into the initial, middle and late stages. There is no such thing as the first to ninth levels and then to the Great Perfection.

After pondering the foundation-building exercises and the practice route map in the book, she silently compared them with the foundation-building exercises she had practiced in her previous life and found that the speed of cultivation of the Array Sect was really fast.

After a while, I looked again and found that there was no Jindan Yuanying mental method, which was a pity.

Just as I finished looking through the formation and was about to study it again, I heard Master Lei Dun say, "Sui Chu, do you know where this set of scrolls came from?"

“I don’t know.” The remains of the four major sects that had ancient elixirs, weapons, and talismans had long been scattered.

Lei Dun sat opposite her: "From the Tomb of Ten Thousand Immortals." Shen Suiren didn't say anything, waiting for him to speak.

Lei Dun stared at her for a long time. The young disciple was quite calm and asked, "Why did you give a fake shell to your neighbor Hu Si?
"In other words, you recognized that he was a demon and not a human, and you're trying to make him leave on his own accord?

"Don't worry, you are not the only one in the world of immortal cultivation who is born with sharp five senses. There are also people with innate psychic abilities who are good at communicating with demons in the sect." This was said by Uncle Master Zhu Kuang.

Shen Suiren suddenly felt his mouth dry. There were too many smart people in the world, so there were not enough fools.

It turns out that Master Cen Che has already found out about Grandpa Hu. So, was his special permission to enter the third floor a plan or...

No, no, no, she can still tell whether someone is being sincere or not. If they really want to trick her into revealing some information, she can find out everything with just a soul search.

She hesitated for a moment, "My disciple wants to leave Floating Light City, but he is short of spirit stones.

Only through Grandpa Hu can you obtain your first batch of teleportation spirit stones."

Lei Dun nodded. She really didn't have any spirit stones at that time. "That map is real. My master and Hu Si, including two uncles and other Nascent Souls, have all entered it.

But the Tomb of Ten Thousand Immortals is constantly moving, with only a fraction of a second to enter and exit, so everyone wants to get there before it's too late. "The reason I was looking for information was to research the various legends surrounding the Tomb of Ten Thousand Immortals."

He spoke earnestly, with an indescribable rhythm: “At the beginning of the year, I hope my master returns safely.

Since the master you mentioned gave you the map, could you please... help me one more time?"

Shen Suiren's heart sank. There were seven Yuanying elders in Xianyou Sect, and three of them had gone in.

If they make any mistakes, Xianyou Sect will immediately become fat meat in the eyes of others. The disciples who go out will be the first to be attacked and killed, and they themselves will also be killed.

No, that's not right, she was not right, she suddenly felt a little sleepy.

Shen Suiren fought against sleepiness and stared directly at Lei Dun with eyes wide open: "Elder, do you want to search my soul?"

Master Lei Dun paused. It was impossible for him to do such a thing. He had just been guiding her with some Buddhist chanting.

At the same time, someone answered for him: “If he dares to raise his hand, I will chop off his claws.

Lei Dun, your master is not at home, you have grown up and become very powerful! "

Lei Dun stood up with a guilty look on his face and saluted: "Uncle Master."

“Master Zhu Kuang, I have always believed that the four major sects are the brightest places in Taoism.

I never expected that a Jindan elder, possessing the most powerful and yang thunder spirit root, would use the soul-drawing technique on a junior. Shen Suiren remained unmoved, her anger evident. If they truly became enemies, they would only end in death, and it wasn't like she hadn't died before.

Seeing the calmness in her eyes, without a trace of fear, Master Zhu Kuang admired her and casually took out a pill bottle and gave it to her: "Sun Essence Water, cleanse all the filth in the world."

"Thank you, Elder, for the treasure. I'll take my leave now." Shen Suiren knew when to stop, so he stood up, thanked him and left.

Master Lei Dun raised his head: "Ice Silkworm Gloves..."

"Master, you have violated the sect rules and hurt my soul. If you feel that a pair of gloves is not enough as compensation, I don't mind you adding a set of ice silkworm linings." Shen Suiren ignored the several Jindan cultivators who came out from behind the bookcase and looked at him. He bowed and strode away.

Lei Dun was furious: "I haven't done anything yet!"

"You can't even think about it. It's a sin to even think about it. What's more, you use sound attack." Shen Suiren walked faster.

“Hahahaha…” True Lord Zhu Kuang laughed out loud, and several True Lords at the Jindan stage also exclaimed in amazement.

Lei Dun cried out in disgrace: "The ghost's sound power is just some Buddhist chants to help me sleep, how can it hurt my soul?

If she had nothing to hide, why would she run so fast?

"Thunder Shield, who doesn't have some secrets in their heart?"

"Your move is not very decent, and the key is that it was seen through by someone in the Qi Refining Stage."

"I will never believe that you represent light and justice again. Now that I think about it, I feel ashamed for you when you said that when you were little."

"Master, punish him more severely."

"Get out of here! You are taking advantage of your brother's misfortune." Master Lei Dun regretted it to death.

……

After Shen Suiren came downstairs, he went straight to the Transmission Hall to ask for leave: "I have gained something in the library, and I must retreat for half a year to meditate."

"..." Master Hengde was speechless. This was the first time he heard of someone practicing Qigong in seclusion for half a year without fasting. "It's harmful to your health over time. I'll give you a..."

Before the word "moon" came out, Shen Suiren's face was filled with fear: "Elder, I just had a feud with Master Lei Dun, who is in charge of the Asking Dao Peak."

"He just came to me half an hour ago to ask about your progress in cultivation and studies. How come we've become enemies now?" Zhenren Hengde was really surprised. He immediately summoned Lei Dun to ask if he had scolded his disciple for not making progress in his studies again.

Then he comforted her, "It's okay. Junior Brother Lei is always strict. He won't be angry as long as you pass the test. If you fail, he will scold you at most.

I have already told him that the reason you failed to obtain armor last time was because your consciousness needed to recuperate."

"No, elder, please listen to me..." During the few days of teaching, Shen Suiren knew enough about Master Hengde that he was a kind and benevolent elder, the kind of teacher who truly taught and educated people.

She gave a detailed account of the incident at the library, and after listening, Master Hengde said angrily, "There's no need to ask for leave to avoid him. He can't act so recklessly in the Transmission Hall.

I will go to the Sect Master and seek justice for you."

"Elder... Elder." In the blink of an eye, Shen Suiren disappeared without a trace on his sword. She covered her face with her hands and smiled secretly, wishing that Master Lei Dun would receive more punishment.

Anyway, they have already made a grudge, and she will inevitably be bullied in the future. To repay the grudge directly, she needs to form a pill herself. Now, while the other party dares not to bully her anymore, she will collect some interest first.

Thanks to the Demon King Chongming, who acted as the middleman when he proposed to return to the secret realm that day.

The Chongming Bird in Cultivation: This gratitude comes a little late.

As expected, Master Lei Dun was severely punished. His Jindan cultivation was restricted to the level of Qi Refining. First, Master Zhu Kuang punished him to forge spiritual weapons and magical instruments in the Earth Fire Room for three months.

Later, the leader of the Wendao Sect punished him by making him work as a waiter at the Xianke Tower in the market town for three months, and he had to not be recognized by anyone, otherwise his sentence would be extended.

Amid the clanging noises in the refining room, Qin Pinzhang's sighs grew louder and louder, but did not elicit any response from his junior brother Lei Dun.

He would also make the sound of hammering iron even louder, so that sparks would fly and strangers would be kept away.

Qin Pinzhang retreated repeatedly: "Just look at your unwillingness to accept it. You deserve to be punished."

"All of you should go towards her!" Bang, Lei Dun smashed the sword flat with a hammer.

Qin Pinzhang frowned: "Wait a minute, what do you mean by siding with her? It's clearly your problem.

What kind of Buddhist rhyme are you using to address your own disciples? You are a Taoist elder, not a monk."

Suddenly, Lei Dun stopped hammering and looked at him: "So, you also admit that it is not soul-drawing technique or sound attack."

“But you loosened her spirit and tricked her into talking.

No matter how nice the rhyme is, it only affects the soul and is still not up to standard."

"She didn't say anything."

"That's because she's determined. If you ask her honestly, she might tell you."

"Hmph!" Lei Dun disagreed. The little girl was cunning. She could clearly understand all the ancient texts, but she said she would guard against him little by little.

As he turned around, a flying sword carrying a letter came.

Qin Pinzhang saw that it was a letter from Uncle Zhu Kuang, so he clicked it and asked his fellow apprentice to listen together: "Just now, Suichu told me that after the Immortal Tomb is opened forty-nine days, it will reappear on the East China Sea Island.

Pinzhang, quickly find out where the island is."

"I know. I'll go pick up my master." Lei Dun had looked up many place names. Yu Island was a small island in the mortal world. He threw down the hammer and was about to leave.

Qin Pinzhang popped up a spiritual power net in front of him, "Draw me a picture, and you will continue to be punished."
