Chapter 166: Having roots to rely on, meeting old friends again
Monks are "regional". Powerful monks will occupy mountains, set up caves in the mountains, arrange plants, draw formations, attract spiritual energy from all directions, and gather the essence of heaven and earth.
In this way, there will be mountains to rely on and power to be reliable. When people and mountains are in harmony, they will be blessed with great fortune and endless benefits.
So over time.
Some mountains become famous because of people, some people gain power because of mountains. "Mountains" can also be used as assets to be passed on to disciples. Take the Panlong Sect as an example. It is only a small sect in Lingtian Continent, but most of the green mountains on both sides of Qulong River belong to it. Even if the spiritual energy is exhausted, the mountains where immortals lived, even if they are not high, have an indescribable charm compared to other places.
There are also powerful people who like to pick stars and live there. There are millions of stars in the sky, and when the spiritual energy is at its peak, when the cultivators reach the late stage of refining emptiness, they already have the power to pick stars.
It’s just that most of the stars are desolate. As the ancients said, “mountains are high and waters are far away.” The stars hanging high in the sky are even higher than the mountains and farther than the waters. This is actually not a good thing. The living value should be ranked after the “mountains.”
The Star Ranking established by Fuyao Tianxia is a ranking of the world's geniuses. In fact, it is also a ranking of the observed stars. Although the value of stars is not as good as that of mountains, they are still personal assets. Some strange stars can also mine important materials such as black iron and heart rock, which are not available to ordinary people and cannot be compared with ordinary mountains.
A cultivator's wealth, besides how many spirit stones and powerful magical instruments he has, also includes how many mountains he owns and how many stars are above his head.
Don't underestimate this kind of assets. The more assets you have, the corresponding combat effectiveness bonus will also be improved.
As the saying goes, the guest should follow the host's wishes. Wherever you are stationed, you are the host. There is also a strong dragon that cannot defeat the local snake, so the home field bonus cannot be underestimated.
This is also why, after a cultivator has reached a high level of cultivation, he likes to establish a sect. There are too many mountains for him to manage alone, so he rewards them to his disciples. The disciple's mountain is also his mountain. When the sect is strong, foreign enemies dare not invade.
The Ten Thousand Immortals Peak has always been known as one of the ten great immortal mountains. Even the cultivators at the peak of the fusion stage dare not act recklessly on this mountain.
Li Changxiao looked at the famous rivers and pondered the eternal existence of Yin objects. When the spiritual energy was not exhausted, the spiritual energy was the root, and the ghosts of Yin objects had cultivation in their bodies and could still travel the world.
Nowadays, there are still Yin objects that last forever. Li Changxiao has traveled tens of thousands of miles and has gained a lot of knowledge. He has seen several cases of Yin objects that last forever, and most of them are affected by the special terrain and feng shui.
He then thought of the "Soul Imprisonment Technique" in the Hundred Ghost Techniques. He had not yet mastered this technique, but he had studied it carefully. This technique was to take out the souls of others and seal them inside a porcelain figure he had made, thus imprisoning the souls.
From many techniques.
Li Changxiao vaguely figured it out.
All souls must have a "root" to rely on. This "root" can be a physical object or an imaginary object such as "terrain and feng shui".
The reason why Jade Rakshasa can survive for so long is because of the "Soul Pearl", but there are so few Soul Pearls in the world.
The journey to eternity is endless.
Compared with Li Changxiao, Yu Luosha's gains were quite amazing.
Although he is a ghost servant, Li Changxiao, as his master, is never reluctant to ask Yu Luosha for advice on mortal martial arts.
Sometimes, he would also collect the latest martial arts from the human world and give it to Yu Luosha to learn. In fact, human martial arts are not weak. If one practices to the peak, he can even be comparable to a cultivator in the middle stage of foundation building.
It is precisely because of the proliferation of warriors in the mortal world and the depletion of spiritual energy that cultivators have to keep a low profile. If they are surrounded and attacked by martial artists, it will be quite a headache.
Li Tianyu, the fifth prince of the Lingtian Dynasty, once had this "honor", but I don't know whether he will come to the Ten Thousand Immortals Summit this year.
According to what Li Changxiao knew in Lingtianzhou.
Li Tianyu and Li Tianxia have been fighting fiercely recently, and their relationship has become as hostile as fire and water. I am afraid they have no time to withdraw. The fuse of the incident seems to be that someone from the Xingmin Chamber of Commerce smashed the Lianmin Pawnshop.
The attributes of the first Ten Thousand Immortals Summit were "qualitative" and "expressive", so almost all the strong people who received the spirit bird would go. The main attribute of the subsequent Ten Thousand Immortals Summits was "communication and research", which were equally important, but not all of them could not be missed, because reforms took time.
Furthermore, Yu Luosha has already reached a terrifying level of attainment in worldly martial arts.
Otherwise, they would not have been surrounded and attacked by the warriors of the Lingtian Dynasty.
Compared with her talent in spiritual practice, Yu Luosha is even more powerful in martial arts.
The man and the servant are both teacher and friend. Yu Luosha often guides Li Changxiao in worldly martial arts. She finds that some Buddhist mental methods can be integrated into martial arts after improvement, which is beneficial to the performance of martial arts.
The power of martial arts will be greatly increased.
Furthermore.
Another day of communication.
Li Changxiao suddenly remembered something. He took out a plain yellow book. Blue light lingered on his fingers. With a light tap, the contents and words in the book turned into layers of dreams. He then transmitted these dreams into Yu Luosha's mind.
"What is this?" Yu Luosha felt the contents in his mind, and a look of surprise appeared on his face under the Luosha mask.
How could the master have such a thing?
Li Changxiao told Yu Luosha that this was something belonging to Old Man Xuanwu. As for who Old Man Xuanwu was, he couldn't explain it for the time being. Simply put, he was a former enemy of his. This plain yellow book could be regarded as his research over hundreds of years after his spiritual energy was exhausted. However, his research method was quite cruel. He peeled off the skin of those martial artists bit by bit, separating the flesh and skin, as if he wanted to explore the origin of their internal strength.
Old Man Xuanwu was obviously also exploring new ways of reform, so Li Changxiao also took possession of his research content. It was not until this moment that he suddenly remembered that this thing might be useful to Yu Luosha.
Yu Luosha showed a strange look on her face. Although the research methods recorded in the book were cruel, they were far from surprising her, the former leader of the Demon Sect. What really surprised her was that these contents solved some of her previous doubts, and some of the theories coincided with her own.
Seeing Yu Luosha's expression, Li Changxiao knew that this book should be given to the right person.
Old Man Xuanwu used to love making strange pills. His talent for cultivation might be just ordinary, but his wisdom and ideas cannot be completely denied.
Yu Luosha was about to get into the soul bead to study it, but Li Changxiao thought that the night was nice tonight, so he asked her to stay so that they could watch the moon and drink together and spend more time with Lao Lu.
......
Leaving Beiyuan River, we continued heading north and walked the same path we had walked before.
Li Changxiao met the escort team walking in the mountains again. The leader had been replaced by the inconspicuous young man who used to follow the team.
When the two sides met, the leader of the escorts quickly recognized the swordsman. The image of the man in white clothes, wearing a sword and drinking wine was not easy to forget. However, they had not seen him for ten years. The swordsman had not aged, but the gray donkey under his crotch had become much more withered and aged, and there was already a hint of twilight in his eyes.
