Elderly Martial Saint: Sixty Times the Cultivation Speed ​​at the Start

Three hours later.

Yi Yang opened his eyes in the room, his gaze falling on the panel that only he could see.

【Heart Prison Burns - Introduction (0/20000)】

【Mind Mirror Shattered - Introduction (0/20000)】

【The Ignition of the Heart: An Introduction (0/20000)】

It took some time, but it was successful.

Looking at the three new lines of text on the panel, Yi Yang felt a weight lifted from his heart.

He had just tried to circulate the "Mind Monkey Guarding the Will Technique: Movement Chapter" technique. This technique was even more obscure and difficult to understand than he had imagined. It was extremely difficult to circulate his divine sense for each cycle. To circulate the three techniques for thirty-six cycles was a difficult journey.

Fortunately, the Destiny Panel worked its magic, and Yi Yang's divine sense was strong enough that he managed to record this technique, which even Jiang Zhongtian couldn't understand, in three hours.

During this process, Yi Yang understood why this technique was so difficult to cultivate. It was because to cultivate this technique, you not only need strong comprehension, but also a profound foundation of spiritual consciousness. The Still Image Chapter lays the foundation for the Moving Image Chapter.

Only by comprehending the cultivation philosophy in the Still Image Chapter and laying a solid foundation can one truly begin to cultivate the three techniques that represent the Dynamic Image Chapter. This is also why Jiang Zhongtian, even though his divine sense had almost reached the perfection of the "Breaking Illusion" realm, could not cultivate them.

But before Yi Yang could be happy for long, he frowned again when he saw the 20,000 progress points that represented the entry level.

You need 20,000 progress points to even get started.

Based on his destiny bonus of being sixty years old, he can gain sixty points of progress in one cultivation session.

It will take a full two months to master all three techniques.

This is under the premise that he does not get distracted by practicing other techniques.

Two months of training time is still too long.

Moreover, this was only possible because he couldn't do anything else during this period of cultivation, and he couldn't improve his cultivation level or physical body; he could only focus on cultivating these three techniques.

But if we do that, Yi Yang's fundamental cultivation technique will have to be put on hold.

Before leaving Suining Prefecture, Lu Quan'an gave Yi Yang the "Yi Wood Nourishing Life Skill: True Gang Realm" technique that he had obtained from Bai Longze.

According to Lu Quan'an, after entering the Tongxuan Realm, the name of "Yi Mu Yang Sheng Gong" should be "Yi Mu Zhen Yang Jing".

This cultivation technique is the foundation of Yi Yang's livelihood and the source of his strength growth.

No matter how powerful one's spiritual cultivation techniques are, they are merely means of killing; one should not put the cart before the horse.

Moreover, his cultivation resources were insufficient to support him in seclusion for two months without any worries.

We must find a way to obtain rare and precious materials that can quickly improve our spiritual cultivation and master these three techniques as soon as possible.

Yi Yang's gaze fell on his storage ring, and he thought of the animal skin scroll that Mu Yanluo had given him before she left.

With a flick of his wrist, the scroll appeared in his palm. He untied the thin rope and spread the animal hide out on the table.

The map above, drawn with ink unique to the Wu Kingdom, depicts a small mountain range with bold lines and simple markings.

In the center of the map, there is a blooming flower with petals like golden threads, and three characters are written next to it in the Da Yu Mandarin.

Golden silk sunflower.

According to the description on the scroll, this flower is nearly a hundred years old and was discovered by chance by people from the royal court of the Witch Kingdom in a secluded valley.

The flowers were not yet ripe at the time, and their medicinal effects would be greatly reduced if picked, so they were simply marked and will be collected later.

Now, he's gotten off easy.

A nearly century-old Golden Silk Yang Flower provides far greater nourishment to the divine consciousness than ordinary spiritual herbs.

Once you get your hands on it, mastering all three forms of the "Mind Monkey Guarding the Mind Technique" (Dynamic Version) will be no problem.

Yi Yang put away the map, a plan forming in his mind: "It seems I have to make a trip to the Ten Thousand Demon Mountains."

The Ten Thousand Demon Mountains are a dangerous place, with demonic beasts at the Tongxuan Realm appearing from time to time. However, fortune is found in danger. Recently, the demonic beasts along the trade route near Hengyue Town have been wiped out by Tongxuan Realm experts who arrived earlier. It is said that even Grandmaster-level figures personally intervened in that battle to wipe out the demonic beasts.

Therefore, judging from the current situation, the mountain range near Hengyue Town is not very dangerous for Tongxuan Realm cultivators. Furthermore, the location marked on the scroll given by Mu Yanluo is not too far from Hengyue Town, and it can be reached in about three days.

With his physical body now fully developed and his true qi cultivation stable at the first level of the Profound Realm, coupled with the Profound Abyss Spirit Weapon and the divine sense of the "Breaking Illusion" Realm, as long as he doesn't encounter any powerful demonic beasts of the Dharma Body level or above, escaping should be more than enough.

Furthermore, the True Qi Realm experts from the other prefectures in Hengyue Strong Town will not arrive for several more days. In the next few days, he will be the only outsider commander in Hengyue Strong Town, and he will have some freedom.

After a few days, once all the forces have gathered, and the town is swarming with eyes and ears, it won't be so easy for someone to enter the mountains alone.

Having made up his mind, Yi Yang did not delay.

He sat down cross-legged again and began to circulate the "Thousand Illusions" technique, cultivating according to its methods. This technique was not that difficult. With Yi Yang's understanding of martial arts and his strong physical control, it wouldn't be a problem to successfully enter the basics after one night of cultivation. He couldn't afford to waste any of his time.

Early the next morning.

Yi Yang pushed open the door and found Xu Min, who was supervising the Zhenfuwei's morning exercise in the courtyard.

"grown ups."

When Xu Min saw him come out, he quickly stepped forward, bowed, and greeted him.

"I'm going out for a while," Yi Yang said succinctly. "It could be three to five days, or ten days to half a month. While I'm gone, make sure your men keep an eye on them and don't cause trouble in the city."

Xu Min paused for a moment, then quickly replied, "Yes, sir! But... what should we do if official business from the Sky Patrol Bureau arrives?"

"I won't see anyone. We'll talk when I get back."

Yi Yang waved his hand and turned to leave.

"Sir, you..."

Xu Min wanted to ask more, but Yi Yang's figure had already walked out of the courtyard gate, leaving only one sentence that drifted back.

"Take good care of your home."

Xu Min looked at the empty doorway, opened his mouth, but could only sigh helplessly in the end, and turned around to continue training his men.

Yi Yang left the courtyard but did not walk down the main street.

He circled around to a secluded alley in the outer city, and after confirming that no one was around, he took out an inconspicuous gray cloak from his storage ring and put it on, pulling the hood down to cover most of his face.

Then, he activated the beginner-level "Thousand Illusionary Faces" technique, and the muscles and bones of his face twitched slightly. His face, which was originally in his early forties, changed to a completely different appearance. Moreover, he looked much older than when he was in Miki Village, with a hint of frost in his eyes and his body became more hunched.

After doing all this, his aura changed from that of an official from the Sky Patrol Bureau to that of an ordinary old man gathering herbs in the mountains.

He blended into the crowd leaving the city without attracting anyone's attention and headed towards the Ten Thousand Demon Mountains.

……

Shortly after Yi Yang left.

In the heart of Yokogake, a major town, lies an expensive and elegant residence with a courtyard.

A martial artist dressed in the attire of the Tianxin Sect strode into the courtyard and bowed respectfully to a middle-aged scholar who was sitting at a stone table sipping tea.

"Elder Han, the person you asked me to keep an eye on, I noticed he left the courtyard. It seems he was planning to leave the city. However, he disappeared after entering the crowd."

The middle-aged scholar, known as Elder Han, was none other than Han Ji, the leader of the Tianxin Sect's delegation stationed in the important town of Hengyue.

A powerful being at the third level of the Profound Realm, the Dharma Body level.

Upon hearing this, he put down his celadon teacup, raised his head, and asked calmly:

"Where is Yiyang going after leaving the city?"

"Judging from the direction he went, he should have entered the Ten Thousand Demon Mountains after leaving the city."

"one person?"

"one person."

Han Ji tapped his fingertips lightly twice on the stone table.

Xie Tinglan, that woman, had previously sent him a message saying that she had encountered this man named Yi Yang in Heyu County.

The letter said that this person was arrogant and spoke inappropriately, which annoyed her. She asked Han Ji to find an opportunity to teach this commander from Suining Prefecture a lesson and let him know that Qingzhou is not a place where just anyone can run wild.

Han Ji had originally planned to do the same.

A peasant who climbed up from a poor, remote village, got lucky and climbed the high branch of the Sky Patrol Bureau, and dared to disregard the sects of Qingzhou.

This kind of person needs to be taught a lesson.

But now, he has changed his mind.

"Never mind," Han Ji waved his hand dismissively, "We don't need to keep an eye on it for now."

The Heavenly Heart Sect deacon paused for a moment, then asked, somewhat puzzled, "Elder, this…?"

"I heard these past few days that Jiang Zhongtian has returned."

Han Ji picked up his teacup, blew on the floating tea leaves, and said in a calm tone:

"He returned to the main town last night without making a fuss, but it didn't escape the eyes of those old guys in the town."

"I wonder what this deputy patrol commander has been doing all this time. Trying to mess with the Sky Patrol at this time, regardless of whether we're in the right or not, is just like walking into his line of fire."

Han Ji took a sip of tea. "I'll explain to Xie Tinglan."

"Yiyang is nothing to worry about. Once the situation in the major towns is settled, there will be plenty of opportunities to deal with him."

"Yes, Elder, please consider this carefully."

The steward bowed in agreement and quietly withdrew from the courtyard.

The courtyard returned to silence.

Han Ji put down his teacup and looked out the window toward the Wan Yao Mountain Range.

His eyes took on a playful look.

Even a late-stage True Qi Realm cultivator dares to venture into the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain Range alone.

They're really courting death.

Hopefully, the beasts in the mountains can save him some trouble.
