Volume 1 Chapter 16 Five Spiritual Essences
Chapter 16 Five Spirits ()
After the god created this blessed land, he felt it was too empty, so he opened a spring to draw water, planted flowers and grass, and wandered around the world to find exotic flowers and plants and transplanted them here. When he was bored, he stayed in the Nitian Cave, where there was a five-spirit pool, and the five-spirit energy was more luxuriant, which was very beneficial for cultivation. The god also planted some rare and precious herbs in the Nitian Cave, such as spiritual ginseng. One day in the world is one year in the cave, and with abundant spiritual energy, the flowers and plants grow naturally fast.
The god lived in the underground five-spirit blessed land for hundreds of years, and finally felt bored, so he left the cave and wandered away. I don’t know where he went, and left this place alone. In a blink of an eye, hundreds of years passed, and the spiritual ginseng in the Nitian Cave had a lifespan of tens of thousands of years, sprouted spiritual consciousness, and had independent consciousness. After a few years, it can change into human form and then practice.
It is very difficult for trees, flowers and plants to condense spiritual consciousness. Among the tens of thousands of spiritual herbs in the Nitian Cave, less than one thousandth of them can condense spiritual consciousness. The white-haired old man is the first spiritual ginseng that can transform into a human form. Then, he used the alchemy cauldron left by the gods to refine elixirs. It took countless time and effort to cultivate to the top level of the elixir stage. After several years of no progress, he had the idea of going to the outside world to see.
The old man's original body is a spiritual ginseng, so he went out to travel under the pseudonym Lin Sen, but because he was simple and easily trusted people, and because he had a treasure, he was deceived by many people, and even united to kill him. The old man relied on his superb cultivation to escape with difficulty, and since then he no longer trusted humans.
After recovering from his injury, the old man, who had seen the prosperity of the world, felt that there were too few living things in the cave, and it was lifeless all day long, so he went to the outside world to buy some chickens, ducks, cattle and sheep and brought them into the cave to raise them. He never thought that the Shuiling Pool in the Nitian Cave actually had the effect of cutting tendons and replacing marrow. After washing their marrow in the Shuiling Pool, more than half of the poultry had spiritual consciousness and could practice magic. The old man would practice elixirs to help them practice, so many Jindan stage monsters were born. However, in order to prevent the previous lesson, the old man cultivated the monsters to the initial stage of Jindan stage and did not allow them to enter the Nitian Cave again.
After telling this secret, Zhang Pa was so surprised that his jaw dropped. Listening to the old man's words, there must be nearly a hundred Jindan stage masters in this cave? Stronger than Tianlei Mountain! After thinking for a long time, I can only describe it as terrifying.
The old man looked at Zhang Pa and laughed: "You are tempted, right? People in the world will never return empty-handed after entering a treasure mountain. Why don't you stay here for a few days? I will help you refine some elixirs to help you build your foundation?"
Zhang Pa couldn't believe his ears and hurriedly thanked him: "Thank you so much, thank you senior, how can I do this?" The old man said softly: "They are good to me, so I will be good to them. You are so good to the puppies. I help you practice, can you still harm me? Besides, you have Fu Shen, I dare not kill you, I am afraid that if I kill you, Fu Shen will kill me. I can only find a way to make friends with you and then send you away quickly, hehe." The old man said this truthfully.
"Also, don't call me senior. If you are willing, call me Uncle Lin, if you don't want to, call me Old Lin. Let's go and wash your three puppies' marrow first." Lin Sen led the way in front.
Zhang Pa was very happy, and he grabbed the three puppies and followed Lin Sen. There is a nine-curve bridge outside the pavilion. At the end of the bridge is a stone road. Going around, you will find a cave. There are three characters carved on the left wall of the cave: Nitian Cave.
Lin Sen stretched out his hand to the front of the cave and made a sliding door gesture, as if the cave really had a door. Zhang Pa looked at it strangely. Although he didn't understand, he couldn't help asking. This Five Spirits Cave Heaven was beyond his imagination. From the time he entered until now, one strange thing after another appeared in front of him, and he gradually got used to it.
Lin Sen turned around and smiled: "Are you wondering what I'm doing?" Zhang Pa nodded and said yes. Lin Sen said, "There is really a door here, but you can't see it. This door can only be opened by pulling from the outside and pushing from the inside. There is no other way to open it." Zhang Pa was curious and reached out to touch it. It was originally empty air, but he felt cold and hard when he touched it. He was surprised and said, "There is really a door."
Lin Sen smiled and said, "There is a fist-sized handle on the door. If you can't find it, the door can't be opened. It's much easier to get out from the inside. Just push it." As he said that, he retracted his hand and said to Zhang Pa, "Come in." He went in first.
Zhang Pa followed behind and stepped into the cave. He immediately felt the pressure doubled and felt dizzy. Just when he wanted to use his power to stabilize his mind, the pressure suddenly disappeared and he was no longer dizzy. Then he felt the powerful spiritual power coming towards him.
Lin Sen explained, "These are two worlds in two different worlds. It was like this at the beginning. You have to know that one year in the cave is only one day in the outside world."
After adapting, Zhang Pa looked around. The Nitian Cave was not as dark as an ordinary cave. Instead, it was as bright as the big garden outside, but the area was much smaller. There were more than a dozen pavilions when he entered the Nitian Cave. Some of them had people sitting cross-legged to practice. Fu'er, whom Zhang Pa had seen, was also among them.
Lin Sen said, "I built these pavilions later. I used barriers to isolate them to facilitate everyone's practice."
The two entered the cave. The people in the pavilions sensed that it was Lin Sen and came to greet him. Zhang Pa took a quick look. They were all chubby and cute dolls. Without asking, it was known that they were all spiritual herbs and flowers. They absorbed spiritual energy for thousands of years, formed spiritual consciousness, and practiced to become adults.
Fu'er was shocked when he saw Zhang Pa, and grabbed Lin Sen and asked, "Grandpa, Grandpa, why did you bring him here? He is a bad guy!" The three-year-old pink chubby doll looked very cute. He was angry and panicked, which made Zhang Pa want to pinch his little face, so he teased him: "If I let you go, I am still a bad guy?"
Fu Er tilted his head and thought for a while, then pouted and said: "Anyway, you are a bad guy."
Lin Sen looked at Fu'er angrily: "I told you not to run out, but you refused to listen. What's fun outside? Not only did you cause trouble, but you also dared to yell at me? Go practice!" Fu'er was scolded, glared at Zhang Pa angrily, and then reluctantly returned to the pavilion to meditate.
Lin Sen took Zhang Pa out of the pavilion and walked to the white stone road on the left. Zhang Pa always felt something was wrong when he stepped on the stone slab. The stone slab seemed a little strange. He looked down and thought he was seeing things at first glance. He squatted down to take a closer look and was surprised again. The so-called stone slab road was paved with top-grade white jade. A palm-sized piece of top-grade white jade can be sold at a sky-high price in the outside world, and at least thousands of spirit stones can be exchanged. However, in the Nitian Cave, it was used to pave the road in large pieces.
Lin Sen said calmly: "Let's go, this is the blessed land of the Five Spirits, there are many things you will be surprised about."
After walking nearly a thousand meters, the stone road ended and a large pavilion with a length and width of more than 20 meters appeared. There was no door, no window, and no wall. There was a cushion in the pavilion, a white jade table, and the rest were bookshelves and cabinets. Most of the cabinets were placed with cauldrons, except for a few that held some jade slips and jade bottles.
Lin Sen continued to introduce: "This is the place where the senior practiced and meditated. Those cauldrons were all made by him."
Zhang Pa didn't understand: "What's the point of refining so many cauldrons? It would be great to have the materials to refine magic weapons and talismans."
Lin Sen smiled and said: "Guess."
These cauldrons look exactly the same from the outside, with the same shape and pattern. Zhang Pa picked up one and probed into his spiritual sense. After trying several times, he couldn't enter at all. He put it back and said: "My disciple's cultivation is too low and I can't see the difference."
Lin Sen said: "These cauldrons are all alchemy furnaces, not However, each cauldron was embedded with different magic arrays during refining, and some even had several magic arrays at the same time. There were a lot of pills left in the cauldrons, and it seemed that they were not taken out after refining; according to my guess, it should be that the senior wanted to refine a certain kind of elixir, and first tried various cauldrons to find the one with the best effect before starting to refine the elixir. "He waved his hand and said: "These cauldrons should not meet the senior's requirements and were thrown here." Zhang Pa took a quick look and saw at least hundreds of high-quality cauldrons, which were discarded like this. After all, he was a god, and Zhang Pa admired him very much. "To respect the senior, the pills in the cauldrons have not been moved. Let's go to the Shuiling Pool." The two passed through the pavilion and there was another white jade road. Not far away, there was a step down. After walking down hundreds of steps, there was a huge platform. There were five circular pools with a radius of tens of meters around the platform. The pools were far apart, just surrounding the platform. There were five floating bridges on the platform leading to the circular pools. Five kinds of liquids were steaming in the five circular pools, and various spiritual energy auras were running wild, making Zhang Pa feel a little uncomfortable. Lin Sen said: "This is the place where the five spirits gather. The creation of heaven and earth is really magical. It can actually gather the five elements of spirit essence in one place."
The five large round pools are the Golden Spirit Pool, the Wood Spirit Pool, the Water Spirit Pool, the Fire Spirit Pool, and the Earth Spirit Pool; the colors are golden, emerald green, white, red, and earth yellow.
Lin Sen led the way and walked towards the white water spirit pool. The two stepped onto the floating bridge one after another. Zhang Pa accidentally looked down and was immediately scared and broke out in a cold sweat and couldn't move. The floating bridge was actually built in the air, without ropes or frames. It was pitch black under the floating bridge, as if it was a void space.
Zhang Pa hurriedly recited the meditation formula, stabilized his mind and slowly retreated. It took half a cup of tea to return to the platform after two steps. Lin Sen looked at him funny and asked him: "What's wrong with you?" Zhang Pa spoke after a while: "I'm afraid of heights." Lin Sen almost laughed out loud. Is there a cultivator who is afraid of heights? A playful look swept over Zhang Pa: "You are quite interesting." Zhang Pa shook his head and said seriously: "This is boring."
