A thousand enlightenments in one night, starting from being a menial apprentice.

Chapter 116: The Spirit of the Weapon

Xiao Yu was suspicious. Why did Duan Rong give her a painting? She quickly walked into the main room!

In the yard, Zhu Xiaoqi had already caught an old hen and was ready to slaughter it, scald it and pluck its feathers!

The old hen is not easy to stew, so she has to kill it in advance and stew it so that she can drink chicken soup in the evening!
When Xiao Yu walked into the main room, she saw a painting on the coffee table. She strode over, grabbed the painting, untied the string, and unfolded the painting!

As soon as she saw the painting, Xiao Yu's face changed, her whole body trembled slightly, and tears flowed from the corners of her eyes...

In the painting, there was Xiao Baijiao wearing a water skirt and a camellia in her hair!
Xiao Baiyu was standing in the main room in the painting, looking at her with a smile...

It was like standing at home with her...

"Little sister..." Xiao Yu was so moved that she held the painting to her chest!

Xiao Yu already knew that Duan Rong could paint. Yesterday, when she was sorting out Xiao Baiqiao's belongings, she saw the painting that Duan Rong painted for Xiao Baiqiao, and the poem next to it. She asked Zhu Xiaoqi, and Zhu Xiaoqi told her what had happened!
To be honest, although the Xiao Baiqiao in the painting was still Xiao Baiqiao, in Xiao Yu's opinion, she looked a little distorted and too ethereal!

But the picture in front of her is real, natural and lifelike, especially the white mermaid's eyes, which look exactly the same as when she was alive!
As an elder sister who didn't get to see her sister for the last time, how could she not be moved when she saw this painting?

It took Xiao Yu a while to calm down. She reached out and wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes. She looked at the painting for a long time before she rolled up the scroll and put it in her boudoir.

Xiao Yu sat on the bed in her boudoir, in a daze. For some reason, Duan Rong's dark face flashed before her eyes from time to time...

Duan Rong left Xiao Zongting's courtyard and returned to his cramped dormitory.

Duan Rong had already made up his mind and would practice the Taizang Sutra only late at night!

This is safer, and during the day, he plans to master the clavicle skill to the mastery level!
This clavicle skill is mysterious and strange, and has some miraculous effects in saving lives!
He will be going out on a escort mission in a while, so it would be best for him to master this martial art before going out!
Duan Rong first practiced various strange postures to stretch the ligaments and membranes throughout his body!

This is the daily training program for the Bone Shrinking Skill. Even if you have mastered this skill, you have to continue this daily training so as not to waste this martial art!
This process lasted about an hour!
After an hour, he was already sweating profusely. Whenever he moved, the joints and membranes all over his body would crackle!
Then, Duan Rong began to twist himself, his goal was to put himself into the wooden basin...

As time passed, Duan Rong slowly shrank in circles...

Every time it shrinks, the huge pain will flood Duan Rong like a flood...

Duan Rong twisted himself like a python wrapping around its prey, and the process lasted until midnight...

His body slowly twisted into an oval ball of flesh, and its volume gradually shrank by nearly one-fifth. However, it was still far from being able to fit into the wooden basin.
At this moment, in the silence of the night, the faint sound of drums came from afar!
"It's already midnight..."

Duan Rong saw that the time had come, so he began to disperse his energy. His head, hands, and legs slowly twisted backwards like a reverse spiral...

Duan Rong's body expanded visibly...

Duan Rong stood there in his normal state. A small pool of sweat had already accumulated on the ground beside his feet... Duan Rong wiped the sweat from his eyes, let out a breath, and said, "This martial art is purely for masochists!"

Even though he had a strong will, there were several times when he wanted to give up during his practice!

I managed to get through it all thanks to the crazy energy in my heart!

It was already midnight. Duan Rong wiped the sweat off his body and prepared to start practicing the Taizang Sutra. He took out four landscape paintings that formed the hidden mandala from the closet. At this moment, Duan Rong's eyes flashed and he suddenly had an idea. Duan Rong put the four paintings back into the closet, left the dormitory, and came to the martial arts field in the central courtyard!

It was already midnight and everything was silent. Even the faint chirping of insects seemed a bit noisy!
The lanterns under the eaves cast a few dim lights on the martial arts field!
The lights and darkness cut the huge martial arts arena into a mixture of light and darkness...

Duan Rong walked quickly and came to a weapon rack in a corner of the martial arts arena. Duan Rong swept his cold eyes over the weapon rack.

He suddenly grabbed a sword from the weapon rack and said silently, "Read the weapon spirit."

Object: Dao
Spirit Level: Level 1

Devouring requirements: Host's mental strength level 1 (satisfied)

Devouring Effect: Mastery of Rakshasa Sword Skills

Duan Rong took a look at the data that appeared before him and said silently in his heart: "Swallow!"

Before entering the Lingming Sea of Consciousness, Duan Rong deliberately came to the weapon rack and swallowed the weapon spirit. He wanted to take the opportunity to study how the weapon spirit changed in the Lingming Sea of Consciousness.
The weapon spirits and tree spirits are located in different positions within the sea of spiritual consciousness, and their digestion and absorption speeds are also vastly different!
Duan Rong already had a basic understanding of the changes of tree spirits in his spiritual sea of consciousness, but he was not clear about the evolution process of weapon spirits in his sea of consciousness!
He only knew that in the southeastern sky of his spiritual sea of consciousness, hung the afterimage of the weapon he had swallowed!
But those are the spirits of the instruments after they have been digested and absorbed!
Duan Rong wanted to figure out, how did they get to hang there?

Duan Rong put the Mo Dao in his hand back on the weapon rack and returned to his cramped dormitory!

Then, Duan Rong locked the door and placed the wardrobe and easel in a corner of the wall, forming a surrounding area!

Afterwards, Duan Rong used a lit oil lamp to slowly heat the back of the landscape painting. As the flame passed, the ink color of the landscape disappeared, and the ferocious images of the Four Bright Kings slowly emerged!

Duan Rong hung the statues of the Four Great Kings around him according to the directions of east, south, west and north!
Then, he sat cross-legged in the center of the surrounding area!

Duan Rong chanted a spell, formed seals, and began to adjust his breathing!

The breathing method of the Taizang Sutra is very unique. More importantly, Duan Rong has to infuse his mental power into the vague point between the inhalation and exhalation after a rather complicated breathing session, and enter the spiritual sea of consciousness!
Although he had succeeded once last time, Duan Rong still had to try three times today before he successfully entered the spiritual sea of consciousness!

Although he had seen the magnificence of the spiritual sea of consciousness yesterday, Duan Rong still felt a chill in his heart when he entered it again!
The black earth, the endless sky, the rolling mist...

An ancient and majestic aura instantly enveloped Duan Rong...
