Volume 1 Linglong Case Chapter 66: The Manifestation of the Divine
The Zhou Mansion Villa.
Zhou Quanhai was eating his lunch at the stone table in the courtyard, being served by his maid, enjoying this rare, comfortable and leisurely life.
In his previous life, he only knew how to practice cultivation all day long and fought with others all his life, neglecting his family and his relatives and friends. Since he started fasting, he no longer remembers the taste of worldly food except for the taste of some elixirs and spiritual plants and fruits.
It was not until the moment he was robbed and killed that he began to feel some regret.
The road was endless, and he seemed to have never taken a serious look at the scenery along the way.
Fortunately, God gave him a chance to start over again.
Although he still embarked on the path of seeking the truth in this life, he would never miss the scenery along the way again.
Take one more look if you can.
"Brother Zhou Daoist, you are really enjoying yourself after taking a break from your busy life!"
Suddenly, a voice broke Zhou Quanhai's comfort.
He looked up and saw that the masked man in white who had suddenly visited him before appeared on his courtyard wall again, holding two huge sweetfish in his hands.
"Young Master!" The maid next to him looked at Zhou Quanhai in panic.
Zhou Quanhai stretched out his hand to signal him to calm down, then looked at Lin Qianxing and said, "Daoyou, what brings you here today?"
"Nothing special. I just want to express my gratitude for the teachings from fellow Taoist." Lin Qianxing jumped lightly and landed in the yard. He handed the two sweet fish to the maid. The fish moved and struggled, which scared her and she almost couldn't hold them.
"Young master, this..." The maid looked at Zhou Quanhai with some embarrassment while holding the fish.
"Hong'er, this is my friend. Take the fish to the kitchen and let them process it. Remember to give one to mother and the others." Zhou Quanhai ordered.
"Yes, young master!" The girl named Hong'er nodded, turned around and left with the fish.
After the maid walked away, Zhou Quanhai put down his chopsticks, looked at Lin Qianxing helplessly and said, "I have received your kindness, but I am still eating this time. Please forgive me for my poor hospitality."
"Fellow Daoist Zhou, you are too polite. Although you and I are not from the same realm, we are in the same situation after all. Fellow Daoist Zhou and I can be said to have hit it off from the first sight. How could I complain about your poor hospitality?" Lin Qianxing said shamelessly.
"My cultivation level is low now, so I should work hard on practicing. I don't want to waste too much time on making friends." Zhou Quanhai said tactfully.
"It is precisely because of our low cultivation that we need to help each other even more. If you encounter a strong enemy, just give me a call and I will be able to help you." Lin Qianxing said.
Zhou Quanhai obviously didn't believe Lin Qianxing's words. He didn't want to beat around the bush at this point, so he asked directly with a blank expression, "What on earth is the matter with you, Daoist friend?"
"I'm sure you know that my knowledge is not as high as yours, and my cultivation in my previous life was also lower than yours. So, I will always encounter some problems in my practice. I came here today just to ask you for advice and discuss something." Lin Qianxing said bluntly.
"I have never been exposed to the path of cultivation in this world before, and I don't know much about it. I may not be able to give a good answer if you ask me." Zhou Quanhai said.
"After all, fellow Daoist has gone further than I have, so I'm sure you will have some insights." Lin Qianxing said.
Seeing that he couldn't shirk his responsibility, Zhou Quanhai could only helplessly say, "Different worlds have different rules. What if what I said is different from what you understand..."
Lin Qianxing understood that Zhou Quanhai was giving him a heads-up in advance, so he said, "Fellow Daoist, just tell me, and I will judge the rest."
"Well, I wonder what you don't understand?" Zhou Quanhai asked.
"I don't quite understand the practice of focusing thoughts in the spirit refining realm. Can fellow Daoist help me explain a little bit?" Lin Qianxing asked.
“Gathering thoughts? This is the practice of the second level of soul refining, right? As I remember, it is the practice of gathering distracting thoughts. In my opinion, this level is not too mysterious. It is nothing more than being still and focused, taming the monkey in the heart, and subduing the horse in the mind…” Zhou Quanhai talked freely.
Lin Qianxing nodded repeatedly on the side. Although he had already cultivated to this level, he gained some new insights after listening to Zhou Quanhai's story.
"Fellow Daoist, where is the strong soul now?" Lin Qianxing asked.
"Strengthening the soul is just as the name suggests. You can strengthen your soul by taking natural treasures and elixirs, or you can use some soul-training techniques to strengthen your soul. In my previous life, I practiced a visualization method that should be helpful for strengthening the soul. If you want to learn it, I can draw a visualization diagram. It's just that my soul is not as strong as in my previous life, so the visualization diagram I draw may lack the essence..."
Lin Qianxing asked about several realms in a row, and even jumped to the level of cultivation in the Unity Realm. Zhou Quanhai answered and briefly narrated his questions based on his own understanding.
Seeing that the time was right, Lin Qianxing asked casually, "What do fellow cultivators in the Body Breaking Realm think?"
Zhou Quanhai said without thinking: "Breaking the Body is actually very simple. If you have completed the training of the first four realms of the Body Tempering Realm and the Soul Refining Realm in order, you only need to control the soul to jump out of the body. After experiencing the Soul Strengthening Realm, the soul is already strong enough. Even if it is still a little fragile compared to the physical body, it can barely withstand some changes in the outside world.
Release the spirit and soul for about a quarter of an hour every day, and gradually adapt. Sooner or later, the spirit and soul will be able to move independently in the outside world.
However, one thing you need to pay attention to is that the soul will be slightly fragile when it leaves the body, and the sun is scorching hot, so when you first practice leaving the body, it is best to avoid daytime, so that you can suffer less pain..."
The two chatted like this, and half an hour passed quickly.
At this time, the maid named Hong'er also came back, holding a plate of processed sweetfish in her hands.
Seeing this, Lin Qianxing stopped asking questions at the right time.
"Thank you for your teachings, Brother Zhou. I have benefited a lot from it. Please forgive me for any abrupt disturbance I caused you today. I will definitely bring two more plump sweetfish to visit me and apologize someday." Lin Qianxing bowed.
Zhou Quanhai forced a smile and said, "It's just a small favor, don't mind it, fellow Taoist."
Lin Qianxing couldn't help but smile when he saw Zhou Quanhai's reluctant expression.
Before, it was always others who made things difficult for him, but now it is finally his turn to make things difficult for others.
Lin Qianxing bowed and was about to say goodbye, but he heard a voice from outside the door: "Cousin Quanhai, I heard from the servants that you caught two sweetfish. You actually enjoyed such a good thing alone? That's not very kind!!"
As he spoke, a tall young man in black, who looked to be about eighteen or nineteen years old, walked in. He had a defiant look on his face and was followed by a servant. It was obvious that he had no good intentions.
Lin Qianxing could see a hint of unnaturalness on Zhou Quanhai's face, but he quickly turned it into a smile and said, "I was just thinking of asking someone to invite you, cousin Changtian, to come over for some fish, but I didn't expect you to come here because you smelled the fish. You have a good nose, cousin."
"That's right. Everyone in Yushan City knows that I, Zhou Changtian, have a powerful nose. I'm not exaggerating. Even the spirit dogs of the Evil Detection Bureau may not be as good as me." Zhou Changtian said proudly.
As he spoke, he walked to the table and reached out to grab the plate of sweet fish.
Seeing this, Lin Qianxing slapped out in the air with his palm.
As the true energy surged, a purple palm print fell on Zhou Changtian's body.
Bang!
Zhou Changtian flew backwards and fell to the ground.
"How can a rude person like you eat the fish that I gave to my disciple?" Lin Qianxing transported his true energy to his throat and said in a hoarse voice.
"Master Changtian!!"
The servant following Zhou Changtian hurried forward to support him.
"Ouch, do you know who I am? How dare you hit me?" Zhou Changtian climbed up while screaming in pain and threatened Lin Qianxing.
Lin Qianxing said: "Then do you know who this old man is?"
"You... who are you?" Zhou Changtian asked puzzledly.
"You don't deserve to know." Lin Qianxing said.
"Oh, are you crazy, old man? Let me tell you, my father is Zhou Tong, the head of the Zhou family. He is a powerful man at the peak of the spirit refining level. If you apologize to me now and kneel down to admit your mistake, and let me break one of your legs, I will still spare you. Otherwise, you will die today!" Zhou Changtian said angrily.
"What a joke!" Lin Qianxing felt relieved after hearing this, and said coldly: "Today, I will let you, this arrogant boy, know the vastness of the world, so that he won't offend a strong man for no reason and harm the lives of your family."
As the voice fell, the true energy in Lin Qianxing's body suddenly surged out and he performed the "Dharma Sutra".
Boom~!
A purple-gold lotus blossomed in the void, and Lin Qianxing instantly transformed into a three-headed, eight-armed, forty-meter-tall demon-subduing Vajra Dharmakaya.
The huge feet of the Dharmadhatu occupied almost one-third of the yard. Zhou Changtian and his servants' expressions became extremely frightened, while a strange color flashed in Zhou Quanhai's eyes.
Lin Qianxing's mind moved, and he controlled the Vajra Dharma Image and raised his palm, ready to strike Zhou Changtian.
The huge Dharmakaya hand fell very slowly, but Zhou Changtian found himself imprisoned in place by a strange force and unable to move.
"I was wrong, I was wrong, don't kill me!!!" Zhou Changtian was so scared that his whole body felt weak and his crotch was wet.
Seeing the speed of Lin Qianxing's palm strike, Zhou Quanhai understood what he meant and said quickly: "Master, please spare him! Don't let him dirty your hands!"
"Hmph! Disciple , even if you plead for him, he may not appreciate your kindness. He might even blame you later!" Lin Qianxing said.
"But he is my cousin after all, so please calm down, Master." Zhou Quanhai said politely.
"Forget it, since you, my disciple, plead for him, I will spare his life. However, the death penalty can be avoided, but the living punishment cannot be escaped." Lin Qianxing said, raising his finger and shooting a stream of true energy at Zhou Changtian.
As soon as this true energy entered Zhou Changtian's body, it disappeared without a trace and then began to circulate in his body.
Soon, Zhou Changtian looked painful and began to scratch his body, shouting out in pain and feeling cold and hot from time to time.
This is exactly the way of using alien Qi in the game "Eternal Spring Kung Fu". Depending on the nature of the Qi you input into another person's body, that person will feel burning inside, or freezing cold, or their skin will feel itchy and numb, etc.
Lin Qianxing's true energy has the complete five elements properties. Although this true energy can only last for three days at most, these three days are enough for Zhou Changtian to bear.
After doing all this, Lin Qianxing ended his Dharma state, glanced at a corner vaguely, and said, "Disciple, I will come to see you another day."
After saying that, Lin Qianxing's figure suddenly turned into a ray of purple light that shot up into the sky and soon disappeared into the horizon.
"Disciple respectfully bids farewell to Master." Zhou Quanhai bowed his head and saluted.
After Lin Qianxing walked, a middle-aged man in black brocade clothes walked in from outside the courtyard. He took a look at his son who was suffering, ordered his servants to take him away, and then came to Zhou Quanhai and said, "Quanhai, Changtian sometimes behaves absurdly. I hope you don't mind him."
"Uncle, cousin Changtian is related to me by blood after all, why would I mind?" Zhou Quanhai shook his head.
Zhou Tong looked at Zhou Quanhai deeply and said, "If that's the case, then I feel much more relieved. By the way, didn't you say before that the Xisui Powder was not enough? I'll ask someone to get you some later. You have extraordinary talent, don't waste your time on these external things."
"Then I would like to thank you, uncle." Zhou Quanhai bowed.
"We are all family, why are you saying these things!" Zhou Tong waved his hand.
After saying this, Zhou Tong turned and left.
The moment he turned his back, his expression instantly changed from kind to thoughtful.
He has figured everything out now.
No wonder this nephew suddenly changed so much, it turns out there is such a master behind him.
Fortunately, he had previously thought that his nephew had been possessed by a monk, but now it seems that he was obviously overthinking.
That master was extremely powerful and possessed such tyrannical methods. He believed that he was no match for him.
It seems that I should pay more attention to my nephew in the future.
