Chapter 989 Cultivating the Immortal Vine
After sitting quietly by the altar for an unknown period of time, Ye Chunyang finally sacrificed the spirit-nourishing wood to retrieve Luo Qingcheng's soul. If Luo Qingcheng had not had a trace of consciousness at this moment, he would probably not know what he would do in his madness.
After sensing for a while again and confirming that Luo Qingcheng was indeed fine, he immediately withdrew the soul-calling flag, and then flipped his palm, and a strange object with a pitch-black body and an oval shape appeared.
It was the seed of the Lingxian vine.
"Now that I am in seclusion here without being disturbed, it is a good time to cultivate this seed, and maybe I can secretly collect other medicinal materials for refining the God-Transforming Pill in the future."
Ye Chunyang thought silently, then moved his body and flashed out of the secret room.
He casually took out a magic plate with a silver needle rotating on it. It looked a bit similar to the compass used in the mortal world to identify directions, but this magic plate was not an ordinary compass, but a soul-measuring plate that he accidentally sacrificed and refined. It has the effect of sensing spiritual energy and is very accurate.
At this moment, he wanted to find a place in this temporary cave with the most concentrated spiritual energy, which was most suitable for cultivating the Lingxian vine.
As the pointer on the spirit measuring disk turned, Ye Chunyang soon found a wonderful place. He rushed to it and waved his two swords together. The area within a few feet was opened up into a spiritual field.
This time, he wanted to cultivate not only the Lingxian vine, but also many other medicinal materials for auxiliary cultivation. He wanted to take this opportunity of retreat to thoroughly consolidate his cultivation.
When he just advanced to the Nascent Soul stage decades ago, Ye Chunyang believed that there were few people in the world who could be his opponents. However, after this fight with the demon world god general Wei Zhiyan and the successive appearance of the Nascent Soul elders of various major sects, he deeply realized that the early stage of the Nascent Soul was not enough to be proud of in the world of cultivation. If he wanted to have the power to protect himself, he needed a stronger cultivation.
Moreover, Luo Qingcheng's body was still imprisoned by Wu Daoren. Even if he could fight with the opponent with his current strength, he could not defeat the huge Ganxu Sect behind him.
All these factors combined together made Ye Chunyang want to improve himself as soon as possible.
After opening up the spiritual field, he first planted the seeds of the spiritual fairy vine and dug a spiritual well in the cave. Clear springs gushed out of it, but perhaps because of the long-term gathering of yin energy here, the spring water was accompanied by a cool air, but the spiritual energy was extremely pure. With the spiritual spoon as a medium, the ripening effect of various spiritual grass seeds after watering them was slightly accelerated.
Such a gratifying trend naturally made Ye Chunyang very satisfied.
After watering the ordinary spiritual grass, he also carefully cultivated the spiritual fairy vine. Because this thing is precious, Ye Chunyang did not dare to be too rash and radical at first, and only used one-third of the usual spiritual water to promote its growth. But what surprised him was that the seeds of the spiritual fairy vine were like stubborn stones. After several days, other spiritual herbs had begun to show signs of germination, but this thing did not react at all.
Ye Chunyang was somewhat suspicious. He recalled the notes left by the owner of Xuanhuang Mountain on the scroll. It was indeed not an easy task to cultivate this vine.
This was based on the premise that he had a magical object such as the Spirit Spoon. If he followed the general cultivation method, he would probably give up hope.
However, he was not a person who was impatient. After all, the Spirit Immortal Vine was the main medicinal material for refining the God-Transforming Pill. It was not surprising that it was a little special. He had even cultivated the spiritual wood before, so why should he worry that this thing would not grow?
Therefore, after being cautious at the beginning, he began to increase the dilution of the spiritual water, and the number of times he used the Spirit Spoon to irrigate the water also increased from once a day to twice, three times, and finally to four or five times.
Day after day, more than half a year passed in a blink of an eye.
One day, when Ye Chunyang came out of the secret room for meditation, a smile appeared on his face. At this time, although the seeds of the Spirit Immortal Vine in the spiritual field had not sprouted, there were some changes. The black color on the surface had fallen off and replaced with a light green, and there was a vitality emanating from it.
"It seems that the ripening for more than half a year has some effect, but it's a pity that the progress is too slow."
Ye Chunyang looked at the Lingxian vine seed again for a while, and was surprised and a little regretful. Finally, he continued to ripen it with the spirit spoon as usual and picked all the other mature spiritual herbs in the spiritual field.
Then, he went into the secret room and closed the door.
Ye Chunyang didn't know that if the owner of Xuanhuang Mountain who left this Lingxian vine seed knew what he said just now, he would probably jump up on the spot in surprise. Back then, this person spent no less than a thousand years and could not make this seed transform, let alone rejuvenate. Now he broke the record in just half a year. What an amazing move!
Of course, Ye Chunyang didn't think much about it. He had already prepared for a long battle with the Lingxian vine. Therefore, in addition to cultivating this spiritual medicine, he spent more time collecting herbs and refining pills in the past six months. At this moment, countless bottles and jars were placed in his secret room, each of which had pure medicinal power. If there were experienced alchemists here, they would recognize at a glance that these were all spiritual pills used by the Yuanying period to improve their cultivation. Any one of them would be a priceless treasure that would be sought after by people in the outside world.
Obviously, Ye Chunyang was determined to impact the middle stage of the Yuanying period this time.
During the six months when he disappeared, the cultivation world of Taiyuan Immortal Dynasty caused a big storm. A large number of Yuanying cultivators suddenly appeared in the originally peaceful cultivation world, and even many hidden great cultivators who had been in seclusion for hundreds of years and had not appeared frequently appeared in major cultivation cities, seemingly to find someone.
There have been reports from some small sects that not long ago, top cultivators from the late Nascent Soul stages of Buddhism, Taoism, and Demons met several times. The content of the discussions is unknown, but as these people stand tall in the world of immortality After the top figures appeared one after another, the entire Taiyuan Immortal Dynasty undoubtedly became excited, and some people speculated that something big was likely to happen.
After all, these hidden powers would not leave their sect and walk around in the world for no reason.
As those small sects and casual cultivators know, in the Xiaoleiyin Temple located in the northwest of Taiyuan Immortal Dynasty, several figures are gathering in the golden top of a pagoda, each talking about something, Two of the faces were extremely familiar. They were Master Wuzhi, the host of Xiaoleiyin Temple, and Mingyuan, the Supreme Elder of Cangwu Immortal Sect.
The remaining two people were an old man and a young woman.
The old man was dressed in a purple robe, with deep wrinkles, and a long beard reaching to his chest. The woman was slim and graceful, wearing a graceful blue dress, but her face was covered with a silver-white mask. Only a pair of clear eyes were exposed, and her face could not be seen clearly. .
But judging from her graceful figure, it seems that the face under the mask must be extremely moving.
One of these two people is Changxing, the contemporary ancestor of Shangqing Dao, and the other is Bai Lingxian, the supreme elder of Lingfu Sect.
"Master Wu Zhi, you said that Gu Tianmo, another god general in the demon world, came to Xiaoleiyin Temple to collect information six months ago. It seems that the master has also fought against this demon, right?" A calm voice came from Mingming From Yuan's mouth, he looked at Master Wu Zhi with his eyes closed and chanting Buddha's name in front of him with an ancient face, but there was a bit of surprise in his eyes.
Master Wu Zhi stopped chanting the Buddha's name, opened his eyes and looked at Mingyuan, then at the others, and nodded slightly: "Yes, the young monk has indeed fought with this demon a few times. I thought this demon coveted our temple. I came with the Lingbao Golden Zen Staff, but I didn’t expect to use the phantom true magic skill to sneak into the Sutra Pavilion of our temple and steal some secret information.”
"Phantom True Demon Technique! This is a technique that appeared when the ancient demons invaded our human world. It seems that this demon is indeed a legacy of the demon world here."
Including Mingyuan, the purple-robed old man and the masked woman also showed shocked expressions, as if they were no strangers to this magic technique.
"Yes, no one can perform this phantom true magic skill except the demon monks. I think this demon was sealed in a battlefield somewhere in ancient times, but now it somehow managed to escape." Master Wu Zhi said solemnly.
"I dare to ask Master, what kind of information did the ancient demon steal from your temple?" Mingyuan was silent for a moment and asked.
As soon as these words came out, the purple-robed old man and the masked woman also looked at Master Wu Zhi. It was obvious that what Mingyuan mentioned was exactly what they wanted to ask.
The Bodhi beads in Wu Zhi's hand paused for a moment, a trace of hesitation flashed across his face, and finally he sighed and said: "To be honest with you, this temple once had a golden Zen staff that was a treasure in the temple, but it was stolen by Xuan many years ago. Senior Huangwuzi from Huangshan borrowed it, and the purpose of this demon's coming here is to find out the whereabouts of the Golden Zen Staff."
"Golden Zen Staff? I have heard Ruyan mention this before. When we were in Xuanhuang Mountain half a year ago, didn't Master Wuxin of your temple take this staff back? And as far as I know, this staff was actually used by Huangwuzi used to suppress a demon general, but now he has escaped the seal." Mingyuan frowned and said gloomily.
"What Taoist Fellow Mingyuan said is true. This matter is our temple's responsibility. At first, the young monk didn't know that Senior Huangwuzi borrowed the Golden Zen Staff to suppress the demon generals, so he rashly asked Junior Brother Wu Xin to take the staff back, which led to what happened. disaster."
Master Wu Zhi looked regretful.
At this point, he paused and then continued: "However, the information that the ancient demon sneaked into the temple and stole was not just the whereabouts of the Golden Zen Staff. There was also another important information that even the young monk had not expected. In ancient times, The ancestors of this temple once participated in assisting the spiritual monks in sealing the demon generals, and later left a handbook, which recorded the locations where the major god generals were sealed. The real purpose of Gu Tianmo's trip was this handbook."
"The place where the devil's generals are sealed? I didn't expect that your temple would have such information!"
As soon as Master Wu Zhi finished speaking, shocked voices rang out from the side. This time it was the purple-robed old man from the Shangqing Dao who spoke. Although Mingyuan and the masked woman Bai Lingxian beside them didn't say much, they couldn't hide the shock in their eyes.
"I'm ashamed to say that the young monk didn't know about this at first. It wasn't until the ancient demon sneaked into the temple that day that the young monk ordered his disciples to be more alert that he accidentally discovered it." Master Wu Zhi shook his head and said with a wry smile.
