Immortality and cultivation begin with full comprehension.

Chapter 241 The Method of Refining the Spirit
"Alas! No matter how high my talent for alchemy is, without sufficient practice, it's difficult to maximize both the success rate and the quality!"

Li Yunjing sighed, staring blankly at the three shiny black "Nourishing Spirit Pills" in his palm.

After a while, Li Yunjing carefully placed two of them into a jade bottle.

The remaining one was taken by Li Yunjing and swallowed.

Instantly, the pill was digested in his stomach, and streams of medicinal power flowed upwards along his meridians, entering Li Yunjing's sea of ​​consciousness.

That special cool feeling floated in his mind, immediately making Li Yunjing's mental energy even more active.

"What a wonderful elixir!"

Li Yunjing sighed inwardly, and the next moment, he immediately focused his mind, emptied his mind, and sought the feeling of "unity of heaven and man".

Before long, after Li Yunjing had completely calmed down, his mental energy became extremely active in his sea of ​​consciousness.

Under Li Yunjing's control, this spiritual energy formed a light source between his eyebrows, almost like opening a third eye.

It was already late at night.

The bright moon hangs high in the sky, illuminating the earth with its pure white light.

With the effects of the "Nourishing Spirit Pill," Li Yunjing's sea of ​​consciousness began to churn. In the deepest part of his sea of ​​consciousness, memories of the Giant Bear King's cultivation were constantly flipping through like a slideshow.

Half an hour later, Li Yunjing quickly reviewed the giant bear king's memories and finally found its spirit-refining method.

After repeatedly memorizing and rehearsing, Li Yunjing mastered the cultivation method of the demon race a quarter of an hour later!

The demon race cultivates by absorbing the power of the stars and the moon, and some special strong individuals also absorb the power of the sun.

The Giant Bear King cultivates the power of the moon, also known as the "power of Taiyin".

This power is the purest form of cosmic energy, and it is also one of the very few types of energy that is relatively easy to absorb.

Since Li Yunjing currently lacks a proper method for spiritual cultivation, he is attempting to use the method of the Giant Bear King to draw upon the "power of moonlight" in the void to train his spirit.

In fact, in the world of cultivation, many people eventually draw upon the essence of the sun and moon to cultivate their sea of ​​consciousness.

Whether it's the Xuanmen (Taoist sect), the Buddhist sect, the demon race, or the demonic path, all have methods for cultivating the sun, moon, and stars.

All roads lead to the same destination, pointing directly to the Great Way.

Cultivating the "power of the moonlight" is inherently the right path.

Li Yunjing attempted to use the refining technique of a third-tier demon king, and immediately drew upon the Yin energy in the starry sky.

The cool moonlight was drawn in by Li Yunjing, and a biting chill surged into his brow.

This "moonlight power" that could freeze the soul made Li Yunjing's soul feel as if it had been pierced by thousands of silver needles.

Even someone as strong as Li Yunjing couldn't bear the pain and had to withdraw from the state of "harmony between man and nature".

"it hurts!"

Li Yunjing's face contorted in pain, his teeth clenched so tightly they made a "crunching" sound.

The "power of Taiyin" contains the most Yin energy, which is cold and piercing. Even the human body will get sick and damaged if exposed to moonlight for a long time.

Not to mention actively drawing the "power of Taiyin" into one's own sea of ​​consciousness to train one's spiritual awareness.

This is an extremely dangerous thing.

If it weren't for the fact that the third-tier demon king's method of refining the spirit had a complete system and few drawbacks, Li Yunjing would never have dared to try to channel the "Taiyin Power" into his sea of ​​consciousness to refine his spirit.

Within Li Yunjing's sea of ​​consciousness, the power of thunder frequently vibrates, already cleansing his spirit with the most intense and yang energy, transforming it into flawless divine thoughts.

His spiritual sense had become incredibly powerful, far surpassing that of other cultivators of the same level.

However, Li Yunjing's ambition was too great.

He is not satisfied with his current level of spiritual cultivation at all.

Li Yunjing's short-term goal is to continue strengthening his divine sense and elevate it to a level comparable to the fifth or sixth level of the Foundation Establishment Realm.

After getting used to it for a while, Li Yunjing continued to guide the "Taiyin Power".

To be honest, although Li Yunjing experienced extremely painful needle pricks, the clear feeling in his brain after the pain subsided made him feel extremely comfortable.

This extreme pleasure following extreme pain made Li Yunjing wonder if he had some masochistic tendencies.

Once again, Li Yunjing channeled another surge of "Taiyin Power." This time, however, he was not in a state of "unity with heaven and man," and the "Taiyin Power" he channeled was more than half as weak!
This power entered his sea of ​​consciousness. After a little adjustment, Li Yunjing felt less pain and was able to withstand the pricking chill.

What Li Yunjing didn't know was that if it were a Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator at the first level, constantly guiding the "Taiyin Power" would have frozen their brains long ago, turning them into complete idiots.

He tried again and again, the "power of the moonlight" entering his sea of ​​consciousness time and time again, and Li Yunjing kept trying to feel the sensation of being pricked by needles, his head throbbing with pain.

"Great! That feels so good!"

"Come on! Keep going!"

"Let's see if I'm a coward or not!"

Li Yunjing gritted his teeth and repeatedly guided the "Taiyin Power" to stimulate the spiritual power in his sea of ​​consciousness, while dispelling the darkness in the universe of his sea of ​​consciousness, continuing to refine his spirit and making his divine thoughts even purer!
"Refine your divine sense!"

Gradually, Li Yunjing was able to endure the pain and began to expand his spiritual realm according to the Giant Bear King's method of refining the spirit.

At this moment, a crescent shape formed between Li Yunjing's brows, creating a special connection between his sea of ​​consciousness and the bright moon.

Within Li Yunjing's sea of ​​consciousness, a tiny figure resembling Li Yunjing sat cross-legged atop the "Heavenly Thunder Emperor Seal," exuding a solemn and dignified aura.

One bolt of lightning after another appeared around him, covering his body and making Li Yunjing's spiritual form resemble a thunder god.

Li Yunjing's spiritual body sat atop the "Heavenly Thunder Emperor Seal," clad in a divine robe woven from lightning, making him sacred and inviolable.

A crescent moon floated above Li Yunjing's spiritual body, illuminating his spirit with the "power of moonlight."

"boom!"

As Li Yunjing continuously absorbed and exhaled the "power of the moon," his spiritual body grew stronger and stronger, swallowing large amounts of Yin power with each gulp, like a bottomless pit.

The cold moonlight continuously tempered Li Yunjing's sea of ​​consciousness, allowing his spiritual power to break through the shackles of eighteen miles and advance towards a range of nineteen miles.

After a night of cultivation, Li Yunjing's brow shone brightly. When he finished his practice, a faint mark appeared on his brow, just like a crescent moon in the sky.

When one's essence, energy, and spirit are in harmony, one can transform the primordial energy of heaven and earth into one's own power, achieving unity with nature, as easy as using one's own arm or fingers, and accomplishing everything as desired.

Now that Li Yunjing has absorbed the "power of the moonlight" and comprehended the greatness of heaven and earth, his temperament is completely different from before, with a new sense of natural harmony.

Full of energy, physically strong, and with unwavering magical power, this is Li Yunjing's current state.

"Boom!"

The morning was rather gloomy, with heavy, leaden clouds overhead and a biting wind blowing through, layer upon layer of mist obscuring the sunlight.

It was rather dark inside Huanglong Ridge. "Looks like it's going to rain?"

"I wonder if there will be spring thunder this time?"

A thought struck Li Yunjing, and he ended his cultivation. He stood up, rushed outside, and looked up at the sky.

The sky was covered with dark clouds, obscuring the sun, but faintly, a glimmer of light could be seen within the sea of ​​clouds.

That's the power of lightning!
Li Yunjing's face lit up with joy, his eyes shining brightly. He looked up at the clouds and felt the terrifying power within them. He knew then that the spring thunder had arrived!
The spring thunder has finally arrived this year!
Like Li Yunjing, almost all the disciples of the "Shenxiao Dao Sect", even Yu Yuanhua, left their residences and looked into the void.

Every thunderstorm is the most beloved weather for the disciples of the "Shenxiao Dao Sect"!

Just as Li Yunjing and the others stepped out of their room, preparing to absorb the power of the heavenly lightning, far away in the "Divine Firmament Mountain Range," this year's outer sect competition was finally about to begin.

Chaoyang Peak, the place of practice for Yu Yunyi.

Nowadays, almost everyone from Yu Yunyi and Li Yunjing's faction who has free time has come.

Today, Yu Yunyi has already advanced to the Foundation Establishment Realm.

Yu Yunyi's hair was styled in a high bun, adorned with a golden phoenix and jade hairpin. As her cultivation level increased, her temperament became even more noble.

Beside Yu Yunyi was Lü Ruoxi, dressed in a purple Taoist robe.

The two women sat in the head seats, both possessing stunningly beautiful faces that could topple kingdoms and captivate all beings. Their beauty was so breathtaking that it was enough to make people's eyes widen and ponder, and they dared not look directly at them.

A bewitching witch and a dignified fairy, both of them possessing unparalleled beauty and charm, surrounded by holy radiance, and exuding an extremely special aura.

"Hmph! I didn't expect that while I was in seclusion for a while, you would manage to raid my base."

Looking at Lü Ruoxi, Yu Yunyi gritted her teeth in anger, her black gem-like eyes shooting out two beams of light as she coldly glared at Lü Ruoxi.

Seeing Yu Yunyi's angry expression, Lü Ruoxi's smile deepened, and she said softly, "There's nothing I can do! Who told Li Yunjing to be so outstanding? So charming, he's mesmerizing!"

Since being developed by Li Yunjing, Lü Ruoxi's skin has become even smoother, as warm and lustrous as jade, adding to her mature woman charm.

When the others saw the two important figures fighting again, they all lowered their heads and dared not speak.

Many people secretly admired him, thinking, "Li Yunjing is incredibly lucky! He managed to subdue these two fairies in one fell swoop! He's truly a role model for us all!"

"Hmph! Even if you've entered the ranks, I'm still the rightful wife!"

Yu Yunyi became even angrier at Lü Ruoxi's flirtatious manner.

If Li Yunjing were by her side right now, she would definitely give him a good beating!
Unfortunately, Li Yunjing remained on the front lines.

I don't know how things are now.

News from the front lines hasn't come back for a long time; all we know is that the sect's attack is going smoothly.

There is absolutely no other information available.

Thinking of Li Yunjing, Yu Yunyi naturally worried about his safety, and lost all interest in arguing with Lü Ruoxi.

Seeing Yu Yunyi's expression, Lü Ruoxi felt a stirring in her heart, knowing what Yu Yunyi was thinking.

Lu Ruoxi was also concerned about Li Yunjing's safety, but she was somewhat relieved, since Li Yunjing had the talisman she had given him, which was enough to block the threat of Golden Core cultivators.

"Alright! You are the First Madam! I am the Second Madam! If any more vixens approach Li Yunjing, we will join forces to drive them away!"

Having lost the will to fight, Lü Ruoxi transmitted her thoughts telepathically.

There was no need for those present to hear this.

"Ok!"

Yu Yunyi nodded in satisfaction. She turned her head and scanned the people present, finally looking at the fat man, Ma Xingyuan.

"Ma Xingyuan, how are your preparations going?"

Yu Yunyi asked.

In the past two months, after Yu Yunyi emerged from seclusion, she immediately took over Li Yunjing's affairs, including the outer sect competition.

Yu Yunyi had met Ma Xingyuan and his group several times before.

Moreover, Yu Yunyi has almost finished preparing for the opening of the external market.

All of this was done with the help of Yu Yunyi's friends in her circle. Now everything is ready, and only Ma Xingyuan's side is left to deal with.

Let's see if Li Yunjing's dark horse can take first place.

Ma Xingyuan stood up, looked at everyone, and smiled, "I think there's no problem! Senior Brother Jin, Senior Brother Su, Senior Brother Yue, and Senior Brother Hou, those four have been training me for three months!"

"My cultivation level has now reached the peak of the sixth level of the Qi Refining Realm!"

"Furthermore, regarding combat strength, my four senior brothers confirmed that I am definitely capable of defeating an ordinary inner sect senior brother at the seventh level of Qi Refining!"

This period was a living hell for Ma Xingyuan!

I said goodbye to delicious food and got beaten up almost every day, four times a day by my four senior brothers!
He was beaten up during the day, and at night his four senior brothers would help him summarize their experiences. In short, Ma Xingyuan still couldn't help but shudder when he recalled those days.

Of course, every effort will be rewarded.

With the spirit stones given to him by Li Yunjing, he bought many good things. The fat man is no longer the same as before. He has great combat power, is extremely strong, has rich fighting experience, and also has a low-grade spiritual weapon supported by Li Yunjing!

With such formidable power, Ma Xingyuan was naturally full of confidence.

"Yes! The outer sect competition starts tomorrow!"

Upon hearing this, Yu Yunyi's expression softened. She nodded and said, "At the beginning, hide your strength and try not to reveal your true combat power!"

"Senior Sister Yu, I understand! I promise to complete the mission!"

Ma Xingyuan loudly assured him.

"Ok!"

Yu Yunyi nodded, gesturing for Ma Xingyuan to sit down. She then looked around at everyone and smiled, "The outer sect competition is a small opportunity, and we can take advantage of it to make a little money."

"Yes! Senior Sister Yu is absolutely right! This time, I'll join you in making a small fortune."

Yang Wenzheng didn't come this time; he's still in seclusion, his sister Yang Wenyue said with a smile.

"Yes! We also want to thank Senior Brother Li, Senior Sister Yu, and Senior Sister Lü for giving us the opportunity to participate."

Everyone else praised and boasted about it.

Li Yunjing, a rising star in his faction, also became Senior Brother Li.

Even though Li Yunjing, Yu Yunyi, and Lü Ruoxi have advanced to the Foundation Establishment Realm, they are still addressed as "Senior Brother" and "Senior Sister," which is a close-knit way of addressing each other within the team.
