Chapter 99: Beheading Immortal Flying Knife
Ao Lie went to direct his subordinates to rebuild the Fengbie Palace, only to find that the yin cold ice evil spirit no longer gathered again. He thought it was because the broken Xuan Tian Wang pierced the earth's pulse, and in his heart, he was furious. Mu Yuan naturally made a fortune in silence, and that piece of natural strange stone was placed by him in the black water gourd!
The demonic energy dissipated extremely quickly. Not long after the Dragon King left, the demonic energy swirling around Shan Miao's body rolled and surged before being completely absorbed into his body. He let out a long sigh and immediately fell silent, as if checking his own condition. Then, he suddenly burst into a fit of hand dancing and foot stomping!
Mu Yuan saw Shan Gui's successful condensation, and he was also delighted in his heart. He secretly wondered how he had forgotten to observe the progress of this "pet"'s cultivation. If it weren't for thinking of him during this battle, he might not have remembered until who knows when, and perhaps a great opportunity for cultivation would have been wasted!
Mu Yuan suddenly remembered that there was still a Feng Luan in his gourd, and now putting that strange stone in would give rise to evil energy, he didn't know what impact it would have on the Feng Luan.
He hastily sank his divine consciousness into the gourd, and indeed saw that on top of the strange stone's hole, it was continuously inhaling the black water yuanqi from inside the gourd, transforming it into cold ice poison that sprayed out, thread by thread, and had already begun to spread. The space inside the gourd also became somewhat chilly, and looking up, it seemed as though ice particles were starting to form!
Mu Yuan let out a sigh, and moved the Qiankun Wanxiang array he had set up in the gourd some days ago to this place, covering it over this space. The large array rotated, opening up another space, and the evil energy rolled around inside, but couldn't penetrate through!
But that phoenix, still dwelled in the distant dense forest, had inherited the method of refining its spiritual consciousness from Mu Yuan. The phoenix's speed of inhaling and exhaling yuan energy became even faster, and its own fire energy also deepened a lot. It was just that being confined in the gourd made it feel stifled, so every day it would go out to find some blood food, which made it grow stronger and more robust!
Muyuan had long had the idea of refining the calabaza, but he didn't have the technique for refining the calabaza treasure on hand, so he could only temporarily put it aside and put the mountain goblin back in the calabaza before exiting the calabaza himself.
Those water soldiers came and went, repairing the palace, but Ao Lie had already used the Avoid Water Pearl to rebuild a space, where he sat and chatted with Qi Wei and Chu Yunfei. Before long, some ships were heard rumbling in from afar, and it was a group of water soldiers from the Dragon Palace who had come to help Ao Lie rebuild his Wind Separation Palace after hearing the story of Yan Kou Hai Guang Long Wang. The leader was a young girl with a willow-like face and white skin, who jumped off the ship and smiled as she greeted Ao Lie!
"This is Princess Ao Jing, little sister. These are cultivators from the Central Plains Continent. Thanks to them, I was able to block that evil demon this time." Ao Lie introduced both parties, and Mu Yuan took a glance, discovering that Princess Ao Jing's cultivation was not weak either, having already reached the realm of refining her aura. She wore a long emerald green dress, with a jade belt around her waist, making her slender waist look graspable. The most eye-catching thing was the emerald jade gourd hanging from her neck, filled with precious energy, which actually stirred Mu Yuan's heart!
This Princess Ao Jing was very humble and courteous, after chatting for a while, she instructed her subordinates to help Ao Lie build the palace, after arranging these matters, she asked Ao Lie about the situation of this war, Ao Lie did not hide anything, and told the story in detail to Ao Jing. When it came to the complicated divine powers in the middle, Ao Jing seemed to be touched, and couldn't help but glance at Mu Yuan.
Several people were cultivators, and they naturally noticed Ao Jing's special treatment. Ao Lie thought for a moment before smiling and saying, "I had forgotten that Little Sister practices the Dragon Palace Xuanming Heaven Slayer Technique, which has some connection to Ice City Subhuti's Ice Soul Divine Light."
Muyuan smiled slightly, "So that's how it is." Ben Dai wanted to ask more questions, but felt abrupt, and the words he had spoken were left hanging in the air.
Ao Jing smiled, "This Xuan Ming Tian Sha Gong is also an undying body technique, it's the ancient Dragon Candle Art. I've been cultivating for over 20 years and have only reached the fourth layer. I'd like to mutually verify with your Ice Soul Divine Light, would you be willing?"
Mu Yuan said with a dark tone, "If it were the Longevity Secret, I naturally wouldn't reveal it, but this is just an Ice Jade technique that came to hand, what's so rare about it?" He had originally obtained this technique from two disciples of the Ice Jade Sect, and hadn't paid much attention to it at first. It was only later when he exchanged insights with Chao Tai Liu that he began to study it a bit more. However, for techniques like these that were passed down through sects, in order to prevent them from being leaked outside, they were always transmitted gradually. This volume of the Ice Jade Divine Light only contained the heart technique up to the third layer of Qi Refining, and was similar in principle to the Furnace Technique. Even if it were the Longevity Secret of their own sect, what he had learned last time in the Qing Guang Hall from Cang Qing Zi still only went up to Dan Cheng.
However, Mu Yuan managed to scrape together the method for creating the Ice Soul Divine Light's Dan by relying on the "Ice Cold Path" in the tide-like flow of Qi. Although it wasn't its original form, it was enough to deceive others!
"As the princess has a kind heart, I naturally won't be stingy with my skills. The Great Way of Longevity was never meant to be confined to one narrow view; only through mutual exchange and support can we have hope!"
Mu Yuan smiled and said, Ao Jing listened to it and was also somewhat delighted. There are countless Dharmas in the Dragon Palace, and there are many magical powers, but those that can match the Xuan Ming Tian Sha Gong are not many. Now that I have the opportunity to learn about the inheritance of Zhongtu, it is naturally a joyous occasion!
The two exchanged blows, both benefiting greatly. Although the Xuan Ming Tian Sha Gong is a path to cultivate an immortal body, this Ao Jing princess clearly practices the method of dual cultivation of yuan Shen and fleshly body. Apart from Xuan Ming Tian Sha Gong, the yuan Shen great way is the Buddhist heart key. Mu Yuan doesn't care, only paying attention to Xuan Ming Tian Sha Gong, both are delighted!
"The master's teachings were only passed down to the point of Dan Cheng, and the subsequent heart secrets would have to wait until after Dan Cheng was achieved before they could be understood. If not, it would be possible to hand them over to the princess all at once!"
"This is also a very normal thing, many sects are like this, fellow Taoists don't need to worry!" Ao Jing spoke softly and slowly, her voice was as pleasant as music.
"Right, I see the princess has a gourd on her body, I wonder what kind of treasure it is, can you show me?" Mu Yuan finally couldn't help but ask out of curiosity.
Ao Jing Ting listened to Mu Yuan's question, smiled and took down the gourd from his waist, shook it lightly, and suddenly a green light danced wildly, dazzling extremely. "This is a treasure I chose from the palace treasury, I hung it up for fun because it looks good, inside there is a ball of thunder fire and poisonous swamp blood worms, speaking of which it's not something serious, Fellow Taoist are you interested in this?"
Mu Yuan had seen many of the gourd-type magical instruments mentioned above in the books of his sect, and most of them were used to launch flying swords or poisonous miasma. Although they were not rare, he still asked Ao Jing about the forbidden techniques for refining such gourd-type magical instruments.
Ao Jing didn't hide anything, and directly handed the gourd to Mu Yuan, letting him take a closer look. As Ao Jing explained the incantation in his ear, Mu Yuan's mind wandered into the gourd, where he saw a swirling emerald light inside. Amidst the light, countless thunderbolts and fireballs floated, surrounded by a layer of colorful glow that moved up and down. Moreover, these thunderbolts were constantly gathering yuanqi, forming even more thunderbolt fireballs.
Muyuan's divine consciousness immersed in it, only to discover that the layer of colorful light around him was a seal created by true energy, divided into 21 layers, stacked on top of each other, rubbing and colliding with each other, generating even more complex seals, which actually gave Muyuan an unexpected surprise!
It's said that Mu Yuan only had a few flying swords on hand, and the only spiritual treasure that belonged to the category of magical artifacts was the Lingtong Jade Belt. As for the cultivation methods of refining magical artifacts, he wasn't very familiar with them. However, he also knew that the seal of the Great Perfection of Magical Artifacts had thirty-six layers, and after completing all thirty-six layers, if there were great opportunities, it would give birth to spiritual awareness, and at that time, the magical artifact would be called a Daoist instrument!
However, since Mu Yuan started cultivating, he had never seen a Daoist artifact with such spiritual awareness, not even in the Longevity Palace.
The gourd in Ao Jing's hand was chosen from the Dragon Palace treasure house, but there is also a corresponding refining method. Refining a magic treasure is a hard work, this gourd magic treasure was refined by one person in each generation of the Dragon Palace, and finally only reached 21st level, not fully completed, but left behind the method to continue refining. Mu Yuan is now studying the oral formula, observing the magic treasure, and roughly understands it!
The divine consciousness exited the gourd, and Mu Yuan immediately focused on refining the Black Water Gourd. Now, the Black Water Gourd can produce a cold and icy aura, which will eventually condense into a thunderous aura, more formidable than the one in Ao Jing's gourd. Although it doesn't have that kind of toxic and sinister technique, it's still acceptable!
"Since you're so concerned about it, don't you also have a gourd?" Ao Jing couldn't help but ask out of curiosity.
Muyuan didn't hide it either, smiling and saying, "As a matter of fact, there is one gourd, but it's just an empty shell. I was thinking of finding some methods to refine the gourd, and coincidentally, I met the princess today, which is a great joy!" As he spoke, he took out the Black Water Gourd. Muyuan wasn't afraid at all; the thing that couldn't be seen by others inside was that strange stone, but it had already been locked up by him using the Qianlong Thousand Illusion Array, so outsiders couldn't see it, and he didn't fear anything!
"Indeed, it's a calabaza!" Ao Jing's face showed a hint of joy, and he continued, "I've heard that in the Zhongtu Dari God Sect, there is a special sword technique for refining calabazas, with extremely powerful might. If one can refine it to thirty-six levels and give birth to spiritual awareness, even if it's in the hands of a newly-refined cultivator, killing a Yuan Shen high-ranking person would be no problem at all. Unfortunately, I've never seen it before!"
"Oh?" Mu Yuan's heart skipped a beat, hearing the name of the Taiyi God Sect. He was shocked at first, and when he heard that such a treasure could kill a high-ranking yuan spirit, he was even more stunned. He hastily asked, "Does the princess know the name of this sword technique?"
Ao Jing lowered his head and thought for a moment, seemingly somewhat perplexed. "This I also heard from rumors, some say that this set of sword techniques is called 'Calabaza Wan Jian Jue', but there are also those who say that the Taiyi Sect has such a treasure, which is called 'Zhan Xian Fei Dao'. There are many different opinions, and I'm not quite clear about it either!"
Mu Yuan had always yearned for the calabaza treasure of the Taiyi Sect, but he also knew that such a powerful treasure was definitely not something to be taken lightly. He didn't dare to have any wild hopes, but Ao Jing's casual mention of the "Calabaza Ten Thousand Swords Manual" did stir his heart. His own Shu tribe sword manual seemed quite suitable for use with the Black Water Calabaza.
