The ancestor is incompetent!

Chapter 2: The Secret of Lower Yuan Spiritual Communication
Li Yuan's consciousness was looking at the colorful lights around him, and he was a little absent-minded.

This secret space was filled with various spiritual trees, most of which were unknown to him. Occasionally, there were a few types of spiritual trees that he recognized, and they seemed to be spiritual creatures that were over a hundred years old.

If it were sold, it would be worth dozens or even hundreds of spirit stones!

You should know that his monthly food allowance in the sect is just one spirit stone and half a pound of low-grade spirit rice.

And farther away from the surrounding century-old spiritual trees, there are spiritual trees with even richer spiritual energy. They look even more mysterious and extraordinary, and they may be precious trees with even longer years.

But now Li Yuan can't even pick a branch.

Because there was a stone tablet about ten feet high blocking his way in front of him, with glowing words on the tablet, and the top line read: Xuanyuan Wanmu Realm.

Below are three lists of exercises, namely the Shangyuan Jiuxuandong Zhenjing, the Zhongyuan Baotu Xuanyin Chapter, and the Xiayuan Tongling Zhenjue.

There was a general summary under each technique, and coupled with this strange and attractive cave, Li Yuan realized that he had picked up a treasure passed down from an ancient Taoist sect.

He had kept this secret for more than half a month. There was a small stone bead inlaid in the stone table in the yard, and he discovered the small stone bead by accident.

The three exercises are obviously the key to entering the cave heaven. Only by choosing one of them can you enter the so-called Xuanyuan Wanmu Realm.

Li Yuan couldn't figure out what the connection was between this inherited treasure and his own sect, but he didn't think too much about it. This was his only chance to change his fate.

He pondered for half a month and finally made up his mind to choose a method.

The first chapter, Shangyuan Jiuxuandong Sutra, is a top-level martial art. After mastering it, one can connect to the power of heaven and earth. It has incredible benefits for building the foundation, golden elixir, and even Nascent Soul. Moreover, the power of this martial art is extremely great, and it is invincible among the same level.

But the requirements are harsh. Not only does it require a special physique like the Nine Yuan True Body, but it also requires a lot of natural materials and treasures. It takes a long time to progress. Although Li Yuan is eager, he also knows that if he chooses this method, he may not be able to build a foundation in his lifetime with his average qualifications.

In the second chapter, Yuanbaotu Xuanyin, although there is no requirement for any special physique, it also says that those with excellent talents and spiritual roots are most suitable for practice. After the practice is completed, they can control the precious land of the world and command the Yin God.

But it also requires spiritual roots of at least earth quality, otherwise it is extremely difficult to advance, and it requires people with great perseverance and wisdom to practice. It is also necessary to collect 72 soils from all over the world, offer sacrifices on the altar, and bring peace to the country. This is even more impossible for Li Yuan.

Li Yuan's spiritual roots were only average, so he couldn't practice such a top-level technique.

Perhaps the inheritor of this cave heaven was thoughtful and left behind a third method.

The true secret of communicating with the lower realms!

It was clearly written on it that the technique was simple, the progress of cultivation was extremely fast, and those with inferior spiritual roots could learn it.

But the disadvantages were also mentioned. Practicing this skill would damage the senses and forbidden spirits. Apart from the magical powers and spells within the skill, it would be extremely difficult to practice other spells, and the magic power would be mediocre, which would make one the weaker ones among the cultivators of the same level.

The three kinds of martial arts each have their own advantages and disadvantages. Li Yuan hesitated for half a month, thinking about the matter of martial arts.

The first two chapters are obviously the supreme skills that all cultivators in the world desire. But for Li Yuan, if he wants to achieve immortality, he can only choose the weakest Xia Yuan Tong Ling Zhen Jue!

Moreover, the martial art he practiced was also called Xia Yuan Jue, but it was far less miraculous than this one. The two seemed to be from the same source and it was difficult for others to find anything unusual.

Sometimes the best is not necessarily the most suitable. If he had the support of his ancestral family, or if he had extraordinary spiritual roots, he would naturally choose the first two. However, he had no background at all, and there was no chance of him successfully entering the foundation-building stage by himself.

For the sake of the long-term development of the Great Dao, even if you are weaker than others, what does it matter? As long as you can survive and improve your cultivation, you will have the possibility of breaking through to a higher realm.

Even if I am weak, if I can enter the foundation-building stage one day in the future, won't the disciples of the sect still have to call me ancestor respectfully?
Li Yuan finally made up his mind, took a step forward and placed his palm on the Xia Yuan Tong Ling Zhen Jue. Immediately, glowing words swam towards his palm like tadpoles.

A huge force crashed into his head, and the dizzy feeling made Li Yuan's consciousness sink and he passed out.

It was not until the sun set that the yellow petals from the osmanthus tree fell on Li Yuan's face. The itchy feeling woke him up and he sat up straight in the recliner.

He shook his head, habitually grabbed the teacup and poured himself a cup of cold tea, drank it all in one gulp, and then gradually came to his senses.

Li Yuan thought of the Xia Yuan Jue that he had practiced. Although it was not magical, it was moderate and peaceful. It was a common technique chosen by most disciples in the sect.

Now he could only read the entire content of the Spiritual Communication Secrets Qi training method, which included a proprietary secret method called Shuiyunjian, which was a way of escaping, but required at least the late stage of Qi training to practice.

In addition, Li Yuan had an additional skill in his mind, called the Ten Thousand Puppet Scripture, which actually recorded many methods of making puppets. Of course, now he could only see the two puppet making methods in the Qi Refining Chapter.

They are Jiamu puppet and Yimu puppet respectively.

Jia wood is good at fighting, Yi wood is good at splitting light, one is far and the other is near, if they work together, their strength will be extremely impressive.

Li Yuan was sitting in the courtyard as dusk deepened. In the woods not far away, returning birds were flapping their wings and chirping from time to time, which made the doubts in his heart deepen.

Because the main business of Qi Lingmen is to make puppets and it is well-known in several nearby states.

What is even more coincidental is that among the five types of refined puppets available in the sect, there are two puppets made of Jiamu and Yimu.

If it was just a coincidence, that could still be explained, but the accompanying puppet secret technique was exactly the same as that in the sect, so this was an undeniable connection.

Li Yuan stood up, with broken yellow osmanthus flowers scattered all over the ground. He looked at the dark sky in the distance and said to himself, "The world is created by fate and harmony.

The road to cultivation is long, and I will do my best to reach that high place and take a look at the world. "

……

In the quiet autumn mountain rain at night, Li Yuan sat cross-legged in a quiet room, silently reciting the mantras for his practice. Wisps of spiritual energy between heaven and earth penetrated into his pores, his mind was running, and qi flowed through his body. From time to time, a faint glow flashed across his body.

Li Yuan understood the difficulty of practicing since he started practicing at the age of twelve.

Not to mention the lofty Jindan Zhenren, even the foundation-building true cultivation is a realm that countless Qi-refining cultivators cannot reach.

The Qi Refining Realm is divided into three levels: early, middle and late stages. There is also a small saying that the peak is above the late stage.

A Qi-refining cultivator lives for 200 years. Most ordinary people are stuck in the middle and late stages of their lives. Only those with extraordinary spiritual roots can reach a higher level.

In the early stage of Qi Refining, one must move the spiritual energy around in the body to cleanse the flesh, purify the skin, and remove impurities. Only when the whole body is permeated with spiritual energy can it be considered the middle stage of Qi Refining.

In the middle stage of Qi Refining, one must use Qi to nourish the blood, so that the mortal blood can be transformed into spirit and transcend the mundane world.

As for the later stage of Qi Refining, it is said that one needs to have spiritual bones, transform immortal roots into immortal bones, and achieve a pure precious body before one has the opportunity to build the foundation.

Today, Li Yuan is only a cultivator in the initial stage of Qi Refining, and his body cleansing has only reached 20% to 30%, which is still far from the middle stage of Qi Refining.

He started to practice the Lower Yuan Tongling Zhen Jue tonight. As soon as he practiced this technique, he could feel that the speed of breathing in and out spiritual energy was more than half faster than before! At this speed, Li Yuanda would most likely enter the middle stage of Qi Refining before the age of thirty, which was nearly ten years faster than he had thought!
After practicing for half a month, Li Yuan felt that his skills had greatly improved, so he suppressed his joy and walked out of the house.

It's not that he doesn't want to continue practicing this wonderful skill, but because the time has come for him to take care of his own affairs.

Qi Ling Sect disciples were not divided into inner and outer sects. As long as they were not in the late stage of Qi Refining, they would have sect missions to complete. Every three months, they would have to work hard for a month on sect affairs.

Li Yuan was obviously not a well-connected person, so it was impossible for him to avoid these chores. He used his light body skills to rush to the Lingfeng Hall.

The Light Body Technique is the most commonly used technique by cultivators in the Qi Refining Stage. By channeling spiritual energy into the acupoints on the feet and strengthening themselves, they can climb mountains and cross rivers, and travel a thousand miles a day.

But when Li Yuan used the magic formula, he suddenly found that the light body technique he had mastered was a little unfamiliar to him. He even felt uncomfortable using the force to step on wood when performing it.

His heart sank. He had not expected that the spirit-damaging sadness mentioned in the Spiritual Communication Technique would be so effective. Qi-refining monks mostly relied on spells and talismans to win in battles. A magic weapon was very precious and could not be bought without dozens or even hundreds of spirit stones. It was simply not something that a Qi-refining monk in the early or middle stages could afford.

Li Yuan only mastered six or seven minor skills. Apart from the light body skill, there are also the clear water skill, the fire bomb skill, the concealment skill, the object control skill, and the water ring skill.

In addition, he had practiced the Quicksand Technique for a long time, but it only worked sometimes and not always.

These were all the spells he could master. Now, he was afraid that he would instantly become the weakest among the cultivators in the early stage of Qi Refining.

Li Yuan was in a bad mood, but he still used the light body technique to hurry on his way. He did not reach the mountainside of Lingfeng until noon when the sky was bright. A magnificent cluster of buildings stood before him, and the faint mist floating in the air highlighted the extraordinary appearance of these tall buildings.

He arrived at the Lingfeng Hall, where more than a dozen disciples were already standing, all of whom had to do the same kind of labor as Li Yuan.

Li Yuan stood silently behind everyone. He was not an impetuous person to begin with, and now his strength was low, so he could only be cautious in his dealings with others.

"Hey, Junior Brother Li Yuan!"

A burly, dark-skinned man shouted at him. The man had a loud voice. Everyone in the hall was a cultivator with sharp ears and eyes, so this was no different from shouting in public with a loud speaker.

Li Yuan looked embarrassed, but he had to look up and smiled softly, "It turned out to be Senior Brother Ruan. You are here to do the chores as well."

“Hahaha, the sect only rotates seven or eight times a year. It’s just a coincidence that we met.” The black-faced man walked up to Li Yuan and patted him on the shoulder, causing Li Yuan’s body to collapse involuntarily.

Several disciples saw this scene, and one of them couldn't help but laugh and said, "It seems that our Junior Brother Li Yuan is really weak and sickly. He should take care of himself more."

"Of course not! Even an ordinary man could almost kill him, so what else can we expect from him?"

A group of people laughed when they heard this. After all, in their opinion, the difference between immortals and mortals was as huge as heaven and earth, and it was ridiculous for an immortal cultivator to be almost killed by a mortal warrior.

"Huh? Why do you want to take my Luogeng Palm?" The dark-faced man looked coldly at the disciple who spoke.

The mocking smile on the disciple's face immediately turned into an apologetic smile, and he said, "Oh, Senior Brother Ruan, it's my fault for being rude. I deserve to be beaten, I deserve to be beaten!"

As he said this, he slapped himself twice lightly and quickly retreated into the crowd.

Ruan Jinghu snorted coldly and glanced at everyone. More than a dozen disciples avoided his gaze and did not dare to look at him. The laughter also died down.

After all, Ruan Jinghu is a master in the middle stage of Qi Refining. When the next Deacons' Conference is held, he will most likely be promoted to the Deacon of Lingfeng. He is not comparable to them, the disciples in the early stage of Qi Refining.

Li Yuan bowed and said, "Thank you, Senior Brother, for helping me out."

"Why are you being so polite? We grew up together as brothers. These people only bully the weak and fear the strong. Next time, if any of them bullies you, just come find me and I will avenge you!"

Ruan Jinghu patted his chest and said with a smile.

Li Yuan was brought to the mountains when he was young, and he could not practice cultivation directly. He could only practice after he was twelve years old. Before that, he studied and learned to read and write with twenty or thirty other children in the mountains, and started his education. Ruan Jinghu lived in the same room with him. He was generous and had a good heart, but this guy did not like to practice calligraphy and study, so he asked Li Yuan to help him complete many of his homework.

Li Yuan rubbed his shoulders casually and said with a smile: "Brother, you are too worried. We are all fellow disciples, and fighting is prohibited in the mountains. How can anyone bully me?"

Ruan Jinghu practiced a rare secret skill and had immense strength. An unintentional pat on the shoulder by him almost knocked Li Yuan to the ground.

The man smiled and said, "That's good. Junior brother, just wait until next year. I will definitely become a deacon disciple, and then I will be able to protect you!"

Just as Li Yuan was about to reply, he heard a loud cough from the hall. All the disciples fell silent and bowed their heads to greet a woman in green who had appeared in front of the hall. They said, "Greetings, Elder Yun!"

The green-shirted woman glanced at the crowd, checked the number of people, and confirmed that all the disciples who were supposed to come had arrived before she said, "This may be the last March rotation for general affairs.

The two elders of the sect have personally issued instructions that from now on, the sect's general affairs will be handled every two months!"

"What? A rotation every two months?"

"Ah! Then we have to do chores for four months a year!"

"Isn't the March rotation an old rule? Why did it suddenly change?"

All the disciples were shocked for a moment.

"quiet!"

Elder Yun gave a light shout, and suddenly a strong wind blew in from the hall, making everyone's clothes flutter. All the disciples dared not say a word.

"This is the decision made by the two ancestors, and no one in the sect can disobey it!

Moreover, as miscellaneous affairs increase, the monthly provisions provided to you by the sect will naturally increase as well.

From now on, all disciples will have half a pound of spiritual rice added to their monthly allowance! In addition, the spiritual puppetry in the inner power transmission pavilion will no longer require spiritual stones. It can be borrowed at will, but it cannot be passed on privately to outsiders. If discovered, your cultivation will be abolished!"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's faces looked much better. After all, spiritual rice and spiritual stones could increase the speed of cultivation. In this way, everyone's progress in cultivation was not affected too much.

All the disciples said: "Thank you for your mercy, ancestor!"

Li Yuan naturally went with the flow among the crowd. In fact, the treatment that Qi Ling Sect gave to its disciples was already the best among the nearby sects.

Not only does everyone have a private cave, but they also receive one spirit stone per month, half a pound of spirit rice, and storage bags, which are magical tools worth twenty or thirty spirit stones, all for free.

The disciples of Qingfeng Pavilion, which is closest to Qiling Sect, only receive half a spirit stone and two or three taels of spirit rice every month. The reason for this is that the foundation of each sect is different.
