Chapter 246: Changes in the Five Elements' True Power
"Go and take care of your own thing. I don't need you to accompany me here anymore." Qin Ziling looked up and said to Yun Lan behind him with a smile.
"Yes, sir." Yun Lan bowed slightly, then turned and left. Her graceful back swayed in the mottled sunlight, revealing a different kind of allure.
"By the way, I forgot to tell you that Yuntai just passed another test." Qin Ziling suddenly called Yunlan.
"Thank you, sir!" Yun Lan turned around suddenly, bowed to Qin Ziling again with surprise, and then disappeared into the forest path with a cheerful step.
Qin Ziling withdrew his gaze with a smile.
Over the past six months, apart from occasionally visiting Wuyang Mountain, he spent most of his time on the small island of Yunluo Lake.
This small island was the former headquarters of the Senluo Gang.
There are fifty-six islands scattered within a radius of twenty miles around this island.
Qin Ziling is now in the middle stage of the Spirit Severing Realm. His soul can be divided into ninety-nine and eighty-one parts, and one of his souls can leave the body up to thirty miles away.
He dispersed the people that Xiao Qing and others had selected from all over Fangliao County onto these fifty-six islands, and then, based on the different levels of cultivation of these people, he released either pythons or exotic beasts onto these islands.
The python beast is easy to capture. We just need to send more martial artists to the outskirts of Wuyang Mountain to capture it.
Exotic beasts are relatively more complicated, and most of the ones released are domesticated exotic beasts.
These exotic beasts are extremely ferocious even if they are tamed, especially when they are hungry. However, their fighting power is much lower than that of wild ones.
But the good thing is that the tamed exotic animals can be purchased directly.
Qin Ziling purchased a considerable number of first to third grade domesticated exotic beasts in Qinghe County and the provincial capital through the Cui family.
Fourth-grade tamed exotic beasts are extremely rare in Xiyun Province, and it is said that only Xuanwu Valley has them tamed.
In order to increase the difficulty of the life and death test, Qin Ziling made several trips to the Wuyang Mountains and personally captured several fourth-grade exotic beasts.
He has many methods, and hunting down fourth-grade exotic beasts is much easier for him than for a grandmaster, and there is not much risk involved.
Of course, it is still very difficult to capture a high-level fourth-grade exotic beast alive, and the places where high-level fourth-grade exotic beasts are active are often very dangerous. Even Qin Ziling does not dare to go deep into them easily.
So after Qin Ziling took action several times, the most powerful beast he caught was only a fourth-grade intermediate-level monster.
Pythons, wild beasts, strange beasts, and warriors all live on the same small island, and the combat power of the pythons, wild beasts, and strange beasts released is much greater than that of the warriors.
On such a small island with limited space, warriors have become prey. It is conceivable that warriors are in danger all the time.
In order to avoid becoming food for wild beasts, they can only keep fleeing for their lives on the island.
Qin Ziling, on the other hand, was "sitting on the Diaoyutai", with his spirits splitting out and hovering over the islands, keeping an eye on the situations on each island at all times.
Ever since he glimpsed a glimpse of the mystery of Yin-Yang Tai Chi and evolved the Tai Chi diagram behind his soul, although Qin Ziling's soul realm is still only at the middle stage of the distraction realm, his soul strength has changed greatly.
Now each of Qin Ziling's souls has a strength close to the late stage of driving objects. If the nine are combined into one, they will have the strength of the middle stage of bone refining. Moreover, the sensitivity of the soul is extremely sharp.
Therefore, once the people below are completely trapped in a desperate situation with no chance of escape, the spirits will, depending on the situation, secretly interfere with the strange beasts and allow them to escape.
Once the spirit takes action secretly, it will decide whether to eliminate the trainee depending on the circumstances.
If the trainee can successfully escape from the tiger's mouth and survive, he will be given some exotic animal meat or precious elixir as a tonic.
Seeded players at the Bone Refining Realm like Zheng Xinghan, Shao E, etc., not only can obtain the flesh and blood of fourth-grade exotic beasts, but sometimes they can even get a small amount of blood essence from fifth-grade exotic beasts as a supplement.
After repeated life-and-death trials, coupled with the intake of a large amount of high-quality resources, it is conceivable that it would be difficult for Zheng Xinghan and others not to make progress.
Qin Ziling "sits on the Diaoyutai" every day, with his soul splitting out one after another, controlling the overall situation at all times. Naturally, the past six months have been extremely hard.
However, although it was extremely hard, Qin Ziling's soul had been greatly improved after such high-intensity differentiation and control training. Moreover, each of his soul witnessed and keenly felt the reactions of different people teetering on the brink of life and death every day, which gave him a deeper understanding of yin and yang, life and death.
So in the past six months, although Qin Ziling's soul has not yet broken through the limit of the middle stage of the distraction state, his progress has been very stable, and he has not fallen into any bottleneck or stagnation.
During the past six months, in addition to having to distract himself to control the overall situation, Qin Ziling also took a small amount of blood essence every day to use the power of the blood essence to refine his skull.
He has now refined fifteen skulls. Although the speed has slowed down a bit, he is still making progress every day.
In terms of Qi refining, Xiao Qing sent people to increase the efforts to help with the search and purchase. A few days ago, he finally helped him find the "Red Python Bing Fire Art", and also accidentally brought back a volume of "Green Snake Yi Wood Art" for Qin Ziling.
A long time ago, Qin Ziling discovered that the four skills he practiced, "Black Snake Mysterious Water Skill", "Yellow Python Wu Earth Skill" and the Golden Sword Sect's "Golden Snake Geng Gold Skill" seemed to be of the same origin, with the only exception being "Green Wood Evergreen Skill".
However, the "Evergreen Green Wood Technique" was the one Qin Ziling started practicing the earliest. By the end of last year, he had already cultivated 180 green tree phantoms in his dantian. The blood essence of the one-horned green python that he had taken recently was of wood attribute, and the growth of the "Evergreen Green Wood Technique" was getting faster and faster, and it had already reached 200 green tree phantoms. In addition, the Biyun Sect had a "Evergreen Green Wood Technique" at the Fa Yuan realm, which meant that the subsequent techniques had already been outlined.
Of course, Qin Ziling was not sure whether there were any wood-based skills in this world that were compatible with the "Black Snake Mysterious Water Sutra". It would definitely take a lot of time to find them, especially when it came to the true essence part of any skill. It would become very rare in the world. As for the Dharma essence part, it goes without saying that it was all in the hands of the major sects and was kept secret.
Therefore, even if the wood-based skills are found, it is estimated that it can only reach the true power realm, and the subsequent search will definitely take a lot of time.
Because of this, Qin Ziling never considered changing his wood-based skills, nor did he order anyone to look for it specifically.
As a result, the people sent by Xiao Qing not only helped him find the "Red Python Bing Fire Art", but also found the "Green Snake Yi Wood Art" a few days ago.
With Qin Ziling's current vision, he doesn't need to practice these two series of skills. He only needs to compare them with the other three series of skills, and he will know that these five series of skills are inherited from the same lineage.
Of course, the fire and wood skills that were found later still only reached the realm of true power, and the subsequent true essence part was missing.
As a result, Qin Ziling was faced with a dilemma.
But in the end, Qin Ziling resolutely decided to practice "Green Snake Yi Wood Art" instead.
Because of this, Qin Ziling lost a lot of his hard-earned true energy. There were originally two hundred green tree shadows in his dantian, but they were suddenly reduced to one hundred green snake shadows.
However, after changing to practice "Green Snake Yi Mu Jue", Qin Ziling felt that he could practice these five techniques smoothly and naturally at the same time.
After Yun Lan left, Qin Ziling sat alone in the pavilion for a while, then took out a fruit from his storage ring. It was red all over, as if a ball of fire was burning, and was about the size of a goose egg.
This fruit is called Fire Yuan Fruit, a precious spiritual fruit that contains fire spiritual energy.
For warriors, the main tonic substances are flesh and blood rich in Qi and blood, while for Qi cultivators, relatively speaking, the tonic substances are more inclined towards spiritual medicines and fruits that contain the five types of spiritual energy.
Of course this is only relative.
Exotic beasts like the Huachi are extremely beneficial to both warriors and Qi cultivators. Some magical medicines and fruits are also extremely beneficial to both warriors and Qi cultivators.
Qin Ziling ordered people to purchase this Fire Element Fruit from the Qi Refining Market.
This is the benefit of having power.
Without leaving your home, someone will help you find and purchase the resources you need and deliver them to your door.
Qin Ziling casually used the water element's true energy to condense a ball of rootless water, rinsed the Fire Element Fruit slightly, and then ate it.
As soon as the Fire Element Fruit entered his mouth, Qin Ziling immediately felt a warm current flowing down his throat, and his whole body became warm.
"I should be able to cultivate the first red python phantom in my dantian today!" Feeling the medicinal power of the Fire Element Fruit, Qin Ziling smiled, slowly closed his eyes, and began to practice the Five Elements Kung Fu at the same time.
Time passes quietly.
In the Dantian, a shadow gradually appeared in a red air mass. The shadow became clearer and clearer, and finally took the shape of a red python.
As soon as the red python appeared, the entire Dantian space suddenly vibrated.
The shadows within the five major air masses of black, gold, yellow, green and red seemed to become very violent all of a sudden, constantly rushing around inside.
"BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!"
Loud noises roared in the Dantian like thunder.
The air masses exploded one after another, and phantoms rushed out, then intertwined with each other in the Dantian, constantly spinning.
The rotation speed became faster and faster, even forming a vortex.
If there was someone in the pavilion at this time, they would be able to see a vortex appearing above Qin Ziling's head.
The vortex was only the size of a bowl at first, but it soon grew larger and larger, reaching an area of several acres.
The five elements of spiritual energy from all directions were sucked into the vortex, and then drawn into the vortex in the dantian and poured into the top of the head.
The five colors of gold, green, black, red and yellow appear alternately as it rotates.
I don’t know how much time has passed.
The speed of rotation changes from fast to slow, and finally reaches a balance, just like a trickle of water, turning slowly, neither fast nor slow, giving people an indescribable feeling of tranquility, peace and naturalness.
At this time, Qin Ziling suddenly discovered that the phantoms condensed by the five elements of true power, namely gold, wood, water, fire and earth, had all turned into one hundred and eight.
A total of five hundred and forty phantoms rotated in sequence over and over again.
When the true power of a certain system rises too quickly, it will be restrained and suppressed. When the true power of a certain system rises too slowly, the true power that is compatible with it will nourish it, so that the five different forces always reach a mysterious dynamic balance.
In the process of this balance being constantly broken and then restored, traces of life and death, yin and yang, are constantly being nurtured in the Dantian.
In the pavilion, Qin Ziling slowly opened his eyes, a hint of enlightenment flashed in his eyes, and he muttered to himself.
"When Taiji moves, Yang is born. When it moves to the extreme, it becomes quiet. When it is quiet, it gives birth to Yin. When it is quiet to the extreme, it moves again. One movement and one quiet are the roots of each other. Yin and Yang are separated, and the two poles are established. Yang changes and Yin combines, and water, fire, wood, metal and earth are born. The five elements are distributed in order, and the four seasons run. The five elements are one Yin and Yang, and Yin and Yang are one Taiji. Taiji is originally Wuji!
This is the secret of the evolution of the innate into the acquired, and if a person wants to achieve immortality through cultivation, he should do the exact opposite, using the five elements to evolve into life and death, yin and yang, and using the acquired to evolve into the innate. "
As Qin Ziling was muttering to himself, the Yin-Yang Tai Chi diagram behind his soul sitting in the Niwan Palace underwent a mysterious change, and his soul became more condensed and powerful.
