C23 Return to the Myriad Sword Sect
Lee Tianci had been in the Pill Cauldron Sect for a whole year. His pill cultivating skills were almost as good as Shui Ling's. It was just that he lacked the unique mantra of the Pill Cauldron Sect. All that can be learned has been learned, what is left is the problem of experience, only by unceasing practice, unceasing groping, can it be improved.
Ouyang Ming officially announced Lee Tianci as his teacher and gave him a crucible that belonged to a middle-grade magic treasure.
In this period of time, Shui Ling's love for Lee Tianci was also very obvious, almost everyone around her could see it. Lee Tianci also gradually fell in love with this lively and cute "little senior sister". It's just that he wasn't ready yet and didn't want to confirm his feelings in advance.
Ouyang Ming also had a conversation with Lee Tianci for the sake of his precious disciple and agreed with him. He decided to wait until the two of them formed their Nascent Infant before considering this matter.
After Shui Ling found out about it, she was a little depressed, but she also made up her mind to work hard to cultivate. At the same time, she threatened Lee Tianci and made him to work hard to cultivate and catch up with her as soon as possible.
Lee Tianci was both amused and touched. He gave her a light kiss on the forehead, "Rest assured, I will be there soon. On the other hand, you have to cultivate well and not think about playing all day. Otherwise, if you get left behind by me in the future, you better not cry. "
Standing at the top of the mountain, Lee Tianci pondered over what he had gained over the past year: He had helped the sect solve a big problem, and learned a very useful skill.
"It's time to go back. Senior Brother has been in closed-door training for eleven years and Master has also been in closed door training for six years.
Thus, Lee Tianci bade farewell to Ouyang Ming and the rest, and comforted Shui Ling, who was reluctant to part, before finally stepping onto her flying sword and flying towards the north.
Lee Tianci was determined to return home. Along the way, besides stopping to recover his Fa Li, he did not waste any time, and only used twenty odd days to fly back to Heavenly Sword Peak.
As soon as they reached the foot of the mountain, they heard the patrolling disciples say that their teacher and senior had already come out. Lee Tianci was overjoyed. Controlling the Dragon Sword, he turned into a ray of light and flew towards Xuanyang's Sword Pavilion.
In just two breaths of time, Lee Tianci's figure suddenly appeared in front of Sword Pavilion. His master, Xuanyang, and his senior, Leng Qiufeng, were already waiting at the door.
The Dragon Sword automatically returned to his body. Lee Tianci's face was filled with joy, he walked to his master, knelt on the ground and shouted emotionally: "Master, Senior Brother, you have all come out of seclusion!"
"Hur hur, not bad, not bad at all." Xuanyang held Lee Tianci up and carefully sized him up before happily saying, "You only used ten years to cultivate to middle stage Foundation Establishment. Not bad!"
After a pause, he laughed: "Your senior brother has now also formed his Nascent Infant, master has also reached the late stage of the Nascent Infant. "Haha …"
Lee Tianci's eyes widened as he said in surprise, "Really? Great! Congratulations Master! "Congratulations, Senior Apprentice Brother!"
"Haha …" Leng Qiufeng also laughed happily.
Lee Tianci looked at Leng Qiufeng in surprise. This was the first time he saw his Senior Brother so happy. Xuanyang also said in surprise, "Qiu Feng, you have followed me for over three hundred years, but this is the first time I've seen you laugh so heartily."
Seeing Leng Qiufeng's awkwardness, Lee Tianci changed the topic, "Master, I have gained a lot this year in the Pill Cauldron Sect. I, Ouyang Shuo, have taught my disciple the art of alchemy so well that I can now skillfully refine ordinary low grade pellets. Once the disciples form the Aurous Core and refine the True Fire, they will be able to refine the mid-grade Spirit Dan. "
"Oh? I didn't expect my good disciple to have such a talent. " Xuanyang was a little surprised. He patted Lee Tianci's shoulder and said, "You have the Fire Spirit Root, so you have the advantage in alchemy and refining. "You four are all proficient in alchemy, you can ask her for help when she comes out of closed door cultivation."
"Four Liu steels? It had been more than six years since this disciple entered Ten Thousand Swords Gate, so he had never seen three or four Liu steels or eight Wu steels. I wonder when I will be able to pay my respects to them? " Lee Tianci was a bit depressed.
"Hehe, no rush, in another forty years, it will be the 'Southern Continent's Large Competition'. This Large Competition is extremely important, and all the elders of the Ten Thousand Swords Gate will return early and come out of seclusion."
"The South Continent Large Competition? What is that? " Lee Tianci asked.
Leng Qiufeng continued, "Master, let's go in first."
Xuanyang slapped his forehead and led the way into Sword Pavilion.
After sitting down, Xuanyang continued to explain, "The South Continent competition is a joint event organized by over ten thousand cultivation sects. It is held every hundred years and the top ten sects are selected. The contestant must be under three hundred years old. "
"Over ten thousand sects are participating? "How big of a scene is that?" Lee Tianci said in shock.
"Heh heh, of course not all the sects would come rushing towards us at once. The competition was divided into the preliminaries and the finals. The preliminaries divided the entire South Continent into ten regions, with each area having more than a thousand sects. Finally, these hundred sects have gathered together to fight for the title of 'Top Ten in the Southern Continent'. "
"Besides being famous, what other benefits does the top ten of the Southern Continent have? And what place is our Ten Thousand Swords Gate ranking at now? "
"You sure are greedy. Just your fame is enough to bring great benefits to a sect!" Furthermore, the top ten sects can participate in some special events, such as the 'Extinction Domain Trial' in ten years time in the Southern Continent. Only the top ten can participate. "
He paused here for a bit, and continued with a little pride: "Since the Ten Thousand Swords Gate was established ten thousand years ago, it has always been one of the top ten in the Southern Continent. It's just that after experiencing the great calamity a thousand years ago, my Ten Thousand Swords Gate greatly decreased, and from the fifth place in the past, my Ten Thousand Swords Gate has dropped to the current ninth place. "
At this point, Xuanyang's expression turned gloomy.
"We juniors are useless. We cannot defend the honor of our sect and have to face our ancestors!"
Lee Tianci hurriedly comforted his master, but Leng Qiufeng had a face full of shame. Xuanyang sighed and slowly said.
It turned out that Leng Qiufeng was one of the competitors with the highest cultivation among the ten people participating in the competition, but he did not perform well in the finals, causing his Ten Thousand Swords Gate to drop from the original eighth place to the last place.
This matter had been pressing down on his heart, causing him to be stuck at the great circle of the Golden Core Stage for nearly a hundred years. Only after hearing Lee Tianci's words at the Lotus Flower Temple did he finally feel at ease and break through his bottleneck.
Lee Tianci didn't have anything to say after he heard this. He just secretly made up his mind to work hard to regain great honor for his sect.
Fortunately, the will of the cultivators was firm and their ability to control their emotions was strong. Xuanyang quickly collected himself and asked about Lee Tianci's cultivation situation.
Lee Tianci brought up the difficult problems during the training one by one, especially the parts of the Soul Division Technique and the Basic Sword Formation . Lee Tianci found them difficult to understand, so he couldn't understand some of the esoteric terms. This was because his training time was too short and he had accumulated insufficient knowledge.
Xuanyang quietly listened to his question and said, "Hmm, your foundation is not good enough. It's my negligence. From today onwards, I will guide you in your reading. Wait until your foundation is fixed, then you can continue to cultivate. "
Thus, Lee Tianci would go to the third floor of Sword Pavilion's study during the day to listen to Liu Tie's lecture, and during the night he would meditate and train. While they were preaching, Leng Qiufeng also went to the side to listen.
Xuanyang's method of preaching was very special. Most of the time, it was Lee Tianci who said: Lee Tianci finished reading a Taoist book and then explained his understanding and understanding of it. On the other hand, Xuanyang only explained the three situations to Lee Tianci when he was present, did not understand it well, or did not understand it well enough. However, there were only some basic things that Xuanyang could talk about, and those that were more profound were hard to put into words.
"The Grand Dao is limitless. Everyone has a different understanding of the Dao, and everyone has their own Dao." The true 'Dao' cannot be spoken of. You can only rely on yourself to comprehend it. "
Therefore, after Lee Tianci had read for more than ten days, Master and disciple started to discuss in the study room. Of course, most of the time Lee Tianci was listening. His teacher and senior were arguing with each other.
Gradually, the three of them began to talk less and less.
A month later, the three of them began to meditate. Or enter the state of Thoughtless Tranquility, mind wandering too much... Or using his mind to observe the breathing of the sky, the pulse of the earth, the flow of spiritual energy … Or carefully exploring the secrets within his body. Every meridian, every meridian, every acupoint …
Although the human body was not very big, it was a huge treasure trove that contained endless secrets. If he could comprehend all of these secrets, then he would soon become a god.
