Volume 2: Yun Ji Cang Hai Chapter 271: The Other Shore Is Just Around the Corner
------------------------------------------
Early in the morning of the second day, the Tianlong Sect's ship left Qiyun City and set out on the journey again.
After Lin Yi returned to the inn yesterday, he returned the dagger to Mu Qing'er. As for how to get the dagger back, he was too lazy to say it, but just warned them that the tricks in the martial arts world would not work in the future.
What was unexpected was that Chu Yunzi was a good person and actually took care of the inn, exempting the Tianlong Sect from the food and accommodation expenses, which made everyone a little puzzled. At the end, he also asked someone to bring a message, saying that he and fellow Daoist Lin had a good acquaintance and were quite congenial, and looked forward to meeting again in the future.
Elder Jiang was also a little confused. When he asked, Lin Yi had to laugh and admitted the matter.
In the cabin of the ship, Lin Yi sat cross-legged on the couch, holding a jade slip in his hand, which was the map of Daxia from Chu Yunzi.
There is a brief description of Daxia in Xuanyuan Zhenren's "Miscellaneous Notes on the Eastern Journey". After that, Lin Yi learned something from Elder Jiang. Now that he had a map of the territory, everything about Daxia became clear.
Daxia's territory was vast, no less than hundreds of thousands of miles. In the map, not only were there mountains and rivers, but also the locations of various immortal gates in Daxia were marked.
Lin Yi immersed his consciousness in the jade slip and read it carefully. Xuantian Sect? When he first heard of this sect, he didn't care.
Just like the Taoist name of Xuanyuan Zhenren. Xuan means heaven; Yuan means qi. It is said in the scriptures that at this time, Xuanyuan arrived at Dang and operated. Xuanyuan Zhenren's Taoist name is nothing more than a person who claims to be a cultivator. From this, we know that Xuantian's meaning is similar.
Xuantian Sect and the exercises he practiced have the same name. Lin Yi doesn't believe that this Xuantian Sect has anything to do with him. Perhaps, it's just a coincidence!
Xuantian Sect is located in the hinterland of Daxia, where there is a Tongtian Peak, which is the location of its mountain gate.
Daxia has a vast territory. In the north, there is a wild land, which belongs to the Black Mountain Sect; in the south, there is Yunni Peak, which is the territory of the Red Cloud Palace; in the sea in the east, there is an island named Biyao, where the Dinghai Sect is located. The Zhengyang Sect is hidden in the mountains in the west, and mortals can't find this place at all.
The map not only has the locations of large and small immortal gates, but also marks some families and markets, which are also useful for cultivators. Putting down the jade slip in his hand, Lin Yi closed his eyes, and everything in Daxia appeared clearly in his mind, which was really exciting.
However, thinking of Chu Yunzi's fat face, Lin Yi still shook his head and smiled. Although the other party caused trouble first, fortunately it did not cause a big disaster, and he still took advantage of him.
Lin Yi picked up the soul-seeking ring again. It was made of something unknown, and there was a small light flashing on it. He played with it for a while and felt that it was not very useful to him. This ring should be modeled after the spiritual consciousness of the monks, to detect and sense the fluctuations of spiritual energy. For the monks, it is a bit redundant to take this ring to look for treasures.
After thinking about it, another ring appeared in Lin Yi's hand. This ring is not good-looking, just a bare iron ring. This was obtained from that Zhimu Ri. At the beginning, he didn't figure it out, so he kept it and never took it out again. When he saw the soul-seeking ring, it seemed that a light flashed in his mind, and then he remembered this thing.
After carefully looking at the iron ring in his hand, it seemed that there was a layer of something blocking it outside, and Lin Yi's spiritual consciousness still couldn't get in. Is there a layer of restriction on it? He raised the iron ring in his hand to his eyes and pondered for a long time, but still couldn't find the way and it was difficult to tell what it was.
Alas! Forget it, I still know too little. It would be great if I was familiar with the method of restriction! Didn't Izumozi give two jade slips! One of them is about the method of entry into the restriction.
Just as Lin Yi was thinking about this, Mu Qing'er's voice came from outside the door----
"Lin Yi, it's me! Open the door!"
Lin Yi had to put away the things on the couch, waved his hand, and opened the door.
"Are you practicing?" Mu Qing'er stood in front of the door, smiled at Lin Yi, and walked in quickly. She was wearing a green dress with a beautiful face, as beautiful as a lotus.
"Just sitting quietly for a rest, is there anything?" Lin Yi asked casually.
"Can't I find you if there's nothing?" It was still the same arrogant tone, but Mu Qing'er's face was smiling.
Even if there's a wall between us, you can't come to me if there's nothing, right? Lin Yi didn't respond, got up from the couch, walked to the table and sat down, and then said: "Miss Mu, please sit down!"
Seeing that Lin Yi had no intention of driving her away, Mu Qing'er smiled with relief, and did not sit down, but clasped her fists and said: "Thank you for taking back the sword for me!"
Come to thank me specifically? When Lin Yi looked up at Mu Qing'er, she had already sat down generously.
"Lin Yi, I actually have something to ask you!" Mu Qing'er's serious demeanor made Lin Yi a little uncomfortable.
"Don't make excuses. When Elder Jiang ordered you to do so, you agreed." As if she was afraid that Lin Yi would not agree, Mu Qing'er hurriedly brought up Elder Jiang.
What did I agree to? You didn't regard me as an elder! Lin Yi shook her head secretly and said, "Miss Mu, what you want to ask is about cultivation?"
Mu Qing'er hurriedly nodded and said, "Yes! After taking the bottle of Qi Condensation Pill you gave me, I have been sitting in meditation and regulating my breath, but I have never seen any movement. Why is this?"
It's not that easy. You are too impatient! Lin Yi thought so but couldn't say it out loud, and he couldn't explore the other person's body.
"I don't know why! Cultivation and martial arts are the same principle, and the emphasis is on gradual progress. Perhaps, the fire is not yet ready?" After thinking for a while, Lin Yi said so. Thinking back to the beginning, wasn't he also confused.
Mu Qing'er didn't believe Lin Yi's words. How could someone with a higher cultivation level than Elder Jiang not understand these entry principles? She tilted her head, and her eyes were full of suspicion.
Lin Yi had to look straight ahead to show that he had a clear conscience.
"This is the skill that Elder Jiang gave me. Can you take a look for me? Is my way of cultivation wrong?" Helplessly, Mu Qing'er took out a piece of animal skin with words written on it. It should be copied by Elder Jiang specifically for her.
"This is not good! The skill cannot be passed on to others." Lin Yi shook his head and said.
"Elder Jiang has told me, it's okay!" Mu Qing'er put the animal skin on the table, her mouth unconsciously pouted, and said: "Just take a look for me, don't be so stingy!"
Lin Yi had no choice but to pick up the animal skin. This should be the practice that Elder Jiang practiced. There was not even a name. There were only some methods of regulating breathing and luck on it. It should be the entry-level practice of the Qi training period. After looking at it for a while, he returned the animal skin.
"The practice is correct. I think you should practice it patiently. As the saying goes, dripping water wears away a stone, and it takes time. This matter cannot be rushed." Lin Yi said slowly.
Mu Qing'er's face showed disappointment. She sighed and said: "You and Elder Jiang are the same. I understand this truth. But there has been no progress in practice so far, and I can't calm down. What should I do?"
You have only been sitting in meditation for a few days! Looking at Mu Qing'er, who was older than him but had a childlike mind, Lin Yi smiled and said, "You have to close your eyes and be quiet when practicing, so that you can concentrate your mind and keep oneness. If you can't calm down, how can you practice?"
Mu Qing'er wrinkled her nose and said dissatisfiedly, "How old are you? You have such a profound practice, and you talk like an old man." Then she complained to herself, "If I had started practicing since I was a child, it would be great."
Stupefied by Mu Qing'er's words, Lin Yi shook his head and said softly, "I also practiced hard for eight years before I reached the Qi training stage! What's yours!"
If there is no purple crystal fruit, I am afraid that even if I practice for eighty years, it will be in vain! Lin Yi didn't care about Mu Qing'er's impatience.
"Eight years? I didn't expect you to have such perseverance!" Mu Qing'er exclaimed in surprise, and suddenly her eyes lit up again. She asked anxiously: "How many years have you practiced to reach your current level of cultivation? If I reach the Qi training stage, when can I reach your level of cultivation?"
Mu Qing'er's words made Lin Yi confused again. Is it useful for me to tell you this? But the urgency in the other party's expression made him helpless.
Raising his hand and rubbing his eyebrows, he suddenly thought of something. Lin Yi flipped his palm and took out a small bottle, put it on the table, and said: "This is a bottle of Qi Condensation Pill I got in Qiyun City. It may be useful to you."
Seeing the jade bottle, Mu Qing'er immediately forgot what she had just said. She jumped up and grabbed the small bottle and smiled: "Take this bottle of pills, maybe I can enter the Qi training stage. Thank you Lin Yi, you are worried, hehe!"
Looking at Mu Qing'er who ran away like a gust of wind, Lin Yi breathed a sigh of relief. However, this Mu Qing'er is no longer looking for trouble, but has learned to pester people. He shook his head again. Why should I worry? It was just a coincidence!
Mu Qing'er took the pill and went to practice in peace. Lin Yi remembered that he had a bottle of Xiyuan Pill on hand. This pill is useful for martial artists. It should be used by Chu Yunzi to win over those ruffians. Now that he got it, he simply gave it to Yuan Qing and the others.
The brothers were overjoyed to get the pill unexpectedly. This pill, which is useless in the eyes of cultivators, can strengthen the muscles and body of martial artists, increase the true qi in the body, and improve their own cultivation.
The two of them had to thank the junior master for his support and care, which made Lin Yi embarrassed. He thought to himself that he would find some more pills to give to them after arriving in Daxia. Even if he could not become a fairy, becoming the supreme martial artist in the world would be a good thing for the Yuan Qing brothers.
When Lin Yi was studying the jade slips in his room, the sea ship of the Tianlong Sect left Qiyun City and sailed to the southeast.
Daxia was the other side of this journey, and it was getting closer and closer. After the disciples on the boat learned about this, their tired bodies and minds were refreshed. The long-lost excitement and expectation once again surged from their hearts, and smiles appeared on everyone's faces.
