Mind Cultivation Record

At this time, Xiao Mian has successfully advanced to the top level of foundation building stage.

Xiao Mian didn't know how much time he spent in the advancement process, but he conservatively estimated that it would take several days. Now that he had left the Golden City, Xiao Mian knew that what Dan Qiusheng said was true when he saw that the scholar and Leng Ningyu did not look impatient at all.

Obviously, the speed of time flow in the Golden City is indeed not comparable to the outside world.

While Xiao Mian was thinking secretly, Dan Qiusheng took the golden city emitting golden light into his palm with his backhand, and re-hidden it on the chain hanging around his neck.

"I am able to enter the Golden City this time. Thank you to Senior Shang!" Reinforcing his mind, Dan Qiusheng bowed to the scholar. Xiao Mian naturally followed his example. After all, it is not strange to give gifts to many people. The scholar was as if nothing had happened, but Leng Ningyu asked directly: "You boy, have you found any heavenly material or earthly treasure? Why don't you show it to me!"

"this……"

"What? Are you afraid that the three of us won't be able to steal your treasure?"

As he spoke, Leng Ningyu's expression turned cold unconsciously. Xiao Mian smiled bitterly when he heard the words and had to take out the severed needle again.

Privately, he had been paying attention to the scholar's expression.

After all, with the dual identities of the scholar Nascent Soul Ancestor and the weapon refining master, it is expected that his vision is even higher than that of Dan Qiusheng. In addition, now that he is out of the Golden City, the scholar's spiritual consciousness is not restricted, and I am afraid he will soon find out. Abnormality of broken needle.

Sure enough, the next moment, when the severed needle appeared in the secret room, a flash of horror suddenly flashed across the scholar's usually calm face...

"Seven-star chain needle!?"

An exclamation burst out from the mouth of the scholar who endured it again and again.

Xiao Mian was stunned, Leng Ningyu was startled, but Dan Qiusheng, on the other hand, had regained his previous composure.

"Isn't the Seven-Star Chain Needle a legendary and unparalleled weapon that ranks among spiritual treasures? How can it be related to this cutting needle?"

While speaking, Leng Ningyu's eyes glanced back and forth between Dan Qiusheng and the scholar.

The scholar shook his head slightly, indicating that he did not know the details.

Dan Qiusheng sighed softly and talked about a dusty past event.

"This object is indeed a fragment of the seven-star chain needle. The 'evil demon' used the seven-star chain needle to kill countless people, creating a powerful and powerful force that led to a joint attack by the spiritual community. In the end, he was killed by an ancestor of my Five Elements Sect. Yu Ye. The seven-star chain needle was broken into two pieces, but the weapon spirit fled away. The broken needle was left without the warmth of the weapon spirit, and gradually declined. After five thousand years, it could not withstand the erosion of time, and it declined like this. !”

Xiao Mian was dumbfounded by Dan Qiusheng's words. On the one hand, he was surprised by the huge origin of the half-cut needle in his hand. On the other hand, he was disappointed with the embarrassing situation of the broken needle - it turned out that it was really useless to throw it away. It’s even worse than useless!

"You kid finally entered the Golden City once, and you picked out such a famous rag?" As if he heard something funny, Leng Ningyu, who had a straight face, suddenly smiled like a flower, and then, Leng Ningyu His smile turned into astonishment, he pointed at Xiao Mian's nose and exclaimed: "You... have you advanced?"

At this time, Leng Ningyu finally saw the changes in Xiao Mian's cultivation.

"It seems that even Brother Yu is a little jealous of you! Xiao Mian is indeed extraordinary. After visiting the Golden City, he has achieved a breakthrough in cultivation..."

But it was Dan Qiusheng who spoke to help Xiao Mian explain.

Leng Ningyu frowned, obviously not believing it, but she didn't say anything more. As for the scholar, he also frowned slightly, but didn't say a word.

It was tacitly understood, and no one mentioned this matter again.

The next day, in the Bibo Cave, Leng Ningyu stared at Xiao Mian with an ugly expression.

"Is this the talisman you drew?"

"If you don't draw well, you'll make Master laugh!"

"You're so ridiculous! I'm almost crying!"

Reaching out to hold the third-level golden needle talisman handed over by Xiao Mian, Leng Ningyu's face turned gloomy.

Seeing Xiao Mian standing below without daring to express his dignity, when he thought about it, Leng Ningyu sighed.

"I have wronged you! How many years have you been practicing Taoism? You can defeat Lu Chengzhi, who has been practicing Taoism for thirty years and is known as a genius. You must have spent a lot of time and energy on cultivation, right? ? Why can you still draw this third-level golden needle talisman? It seems that you have some talent in drawing talismans..."

Xiao Mian was stunned when he heard this. He did not expect that Leng Ningyu, who was always difficult to talk to, would take the initiative to excuse himself.

But of course this was a good thing, so Xiao Mian just pretended to be confused.

"The essence of the method of drawing talismans is to seal the monk's spiritual energy in the talisman paper in a relatively stable manner. There are three requirements for this, namely, completeness, stability, and smoothness. The strokes must be complete. This constitutes the spiritual energy of the talisman spell. The strokes must be smooth so that the talisman's activation process will be short and smooth." At this point, Leng Ningyu stretched out his hand towards Xiao Mian and said. : "Bring Jiucunqing and take a good look at it!"

Xiao Mian quickly took out the nine-inch green and handed it to Leng Ningyu. Leng Ningyu took the nine-inch green and looked at it carefully before calming down and starting to draw the talisman.

Last time in Lingchuanfang City, Xiao Mian had not seen Leng Ningyu draw the talisman himself. Now it seems that he has discovered that there is still a lot of knowledge in the way of drawing talismans.

For example, starting the pen against the trend, retracting the pen after turning back, and other examples such as lifting, turning, lightness, urgency, connection, right and wrong, square and circle, escapement...

Leng Ningyu explained while drawing the talisman, and Xiao Mian listened very carefully, as if he had returned to the years when he studied hard with his father.

After drawing the third-level ice needle talisman, Leng Ningyu did not stop and continued to teach Xiao Mian how to adjust ink, how to choose paper, how to match various talismans, and other knowledge.

"The art of talismans is vast and profound and cannot be taught in a day or two. What I teach you today is just how to draw talismans. As for the profound art, you will have to figure it out on your own in the future."

Saying this, Leng Ningyu caressed the nine-inch green stick again, then returned it to Xiao Mian, and said politely: "This nine-inch green stick is my master, and your great master left it behind." The Talisman Painting Brush I used was said to be a top-grade magic brush at the beginning. However, when it was passed down to my generation, it was lowered to a mid-level magic weapon for some reason. But this thing is a relic of your great master after all, so don’t do it. Lost!”

"yes!"

"Hey! There are four of you in the same sect. Logically speaking, the other three are all women. It is more appropriate for them to learn the art of drawing talismans. However, your senior sister is dedicated to the Tao and has no distractions. Your second senior sister is busy with worldly affairs, and I don't want her either. It's too distracting; as for Chu Qing, she said she had a headache when she saw pens, inks, paper and inkstones, so I didn't bother to care about her!" After saying that, she glared at Xiao Mian angrily, and Leng Ningyu said, "Since you are of my Bibotan lineage. Inheritors of drawing talismans, please remember not to forget to draw talisman as you improve your cultivation in the future.”

"Disciple, please remember this!"

"How long do you plan to come back after you are out this time?"

"This..., it's hard to say!"

"If you want to form an elixir, come back earlier!" Seeing Xiao Mian looking at her in confusion, Leng Ningyu hesitated for a moment and whispered: "Although the sect has recruited three powerful elixir masters as guest elders this time, there are also more Fifty-six foundation-building monks with good qualifications have joined the sect, but they are still casual cultivators who have become monks on the way, no better than you! Those foundation-building monks are just that, they can never make any big waves..."

"Master is afraid of those three Jindan guests..."

"Be careful!"

After interrupting Xiao Mian's words, Leng Ningyu looked solemn.

"Originally, I was a little bit dissatisfied with you traveling abroad, but your performance this time is too dazzling. If you stay inside the sect again, I'm afraid you will be hated by others. You can guard against it for a day, but not for a year, and it's okay to go out. Five Elements Sect Among the current direct disciples, only you and Ling'er have the best hope of successfully forming the elixir. Even Qingqiong is a little behind. As for other disciples, it will take at least several decades to train them. "

"Master, why don't you devote yourself to meditation and strive to break through to the Nascent Soul stage as soon as possible?"

"Nascent Soul stage? Haha... I don't have any extravagant hopes in this life!"

"How could it be? Isn't it also the eighth-grade golden elixir formed by Master?"

"Let's not talk about this! But you, when do you plan to leave? According to what your uncle said yesterday, after the trade fair is over, a large number of monks will leave the Five Elements Sect in groups. Why don't you leave with them?" Seeing Xiao Mian nodding in agreement, Leng Ningyu hesitated for a while, and finally said happily: "I know what you are worried about the most is Chu Qing. Don't worry, as long as I am still alive, she will not be bullied. Yes! But Qingqiong, what are your plans?"

"I plan to leave Wuxing Mountain tomorrow! Thank you, Master, for taking care of my sister during this long trip! As for... Qingqiong, let's talk about it when I come back!"

"..., that's fine! You kid, although you may appear easy-going on the surface, I know that you are very twisted in your bones. I don't want to say more about what happened between you and Qingqiong. I just hope you can take care of yourself. Please note that flowers are blooming. You have to break it straight, don’t wait until there are no flowers left to break branches!”

"……,yes!"

"Get down!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Mian knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times to Leng Ningyu respectfully. Then he stood up and walked out of the lobby.

However, Xiao Mian did not go back to his small courtyard directly. After thinking for a moment, he came to the gate of Huangfuling's courtyard.

After a while, Huangfuling escorted Xiao Mian out, and Xiao Mian returned to his small courtyard.

Seeing Xiao Mian's back fading away, Huangfuling picked up the jade slip in her hand and looked at it carefully, then shook her head and let out a sigh.

What was recorded in the jade slip was the cultivation method of water and earth dual attributes, separation and divine light, which was very suitable for Fu Qingqiong to practice. However, Xiao Mian did not give it directly to Fu Qingqiong, but only asked Huangfuling to hand it over to Fu Qingqiong after he left.

As for Xiao Chuqing, she was naturally entrusted to Huangfu Ling to take care of her.

Early the next morning, news spread throughout the Five Elements Sect that Xiao Mian, the leader of the Sword Fighting Club, was attacked by an unknown Jindan monk the night before and was seriously injured.

Beside the Blue Wave Pond, at the top of Shuiyun Peak, Huangfuling and Fu Qingqiong stood side by side.

"I'm leaving after all!"

"...Junior sister, I advised you to say goodbye to him last night, but you didn't listen. Now that everyone is gone, why would it only be sad?" Huangfuling has always been straight-tempered, but he doesn't know how to comfort him. Next to Fu Qingqiong, Fu Qingqiong herself smiled cheerfully: "So what if we say goodbye? Senior sister, have you ever heard that it's hard to say goodbye when we meet?"

"you……"

"No matter what, thank you senior sister!"

As he spoke, Fu Qingqiong tightened the jade slip in his palm, turned around and walked down Shuiyun Peak, leaving Huangfuling alone with her eyebrows tightly knitted.
