Ever since Little Hai Ren was struck by lightning, his mind had become sharper and his passion had become more determined. He was even more motivated in his cultivation, and it could be described as a thousand miles a day. After entering the new courtyard for half a year, he had cultivated to the middle level of the Enlightenment Realm, making his fellow disciples very envious.
When Little Hai Ren reached the eighth level of the Spring Autumn Art, according to normal progress, he should be at the upper level of the Enlightenment Realm when he reached the eighth level of the Spring Autumn Art. However, Little Hai Ren was still at the middle level of the Enlightenment Realm.
Little Hai Ren felt that no matter how hard he tried recently, the spiritual energy he absorbed seemed to be unable to be stored in his dantian. It was as if his dantian was already saturated.
Little Hai Ren reported this situation to the strength imparting officer. The strength imparting officer, Zhao Feng, was a warm-hearted middle-aged man. After hearing Little Hai Ren's report, he sat beside Little Hai Ren and observed him personally. He found that when Little Hai Ren was cultivating, he absorbed more than twice as much spiritual power as ordinary people. He could clearly feel the fluctuation of spiritual power beside him.
However, when Little Hai Ren stopped cultivating, the spiritual energy that he had just absorbed from the outside world gradually disappeared mysteriously from his dantian. Facing this situation, Zhao Feng frowned. He had never encountered such a situation in his decades of cultivation. It seemed that he had to consult his Yang Hall elder, Daoist White Crane. Zhao Feng consoled Little Hai Ren before standing up and summoning his flying sword. He flew toward the Yang Hall on his flying sword.
When he arrived at the Yang Hall, he came to Daoist White Crane's cultivation room and said to the boy standing outside the door,""Martial nephews, please inform them that Zhao Feng is asking for help.”
As soon as he finished speaking, a kind voice came from the room,"Feng 'er, why are you looking for me? Did you run into some problems with your *** again?”
After Zhao Feng heard this, he pushed open the door and walked into the room as he said,"I really have something to trouble you with.”The room was very clean, and there was a white-haired Taoist priest sitting cross-legged on a cloud bed with a smile on his face. After Zhao Feng saw the Taoist priest, he quickly took a few steps forward and kowtowed on both knees."Disciple greets you."
Daoist White Crane pointed at his crotch and said,""Disciple, please take a seat."
Zhao Feng said," This time, I didn't come here because of my personal matters. It's just that I discovered something strange when I was teaching the honorary title in the new academy. I'm puzzled." Please enlighten me."
"There's such a strange thing?" Daoist White Crane said."Tell me quickly so that I can help you analyze it."”
Zhao Feng then told Daoist White Crane about how he had taught little Hai Ren the Spring and Autumn Annals, as well as the strange things that little Hai Ren had encountered while cultivating.
Daoist White Crane frowned and fell into deep thought. After a while, he said to Zhao Feng,""A hundred years ago, I heard Senior Brother Yun He talk about this situation when he was lecturing in the Gray Cloud Cave. At that time, I was more interested in this strange thing, so I listened carefully. Could it be that the Mortal Fetus Bone Shedding Body that is rarely seen in thousands of years is actually manifested in this child? Strange, strange."
At this moment, a little Daoist boy came in and said," Grandmaster, just now, Martial Uncle Qingyun of the Weapon Refinery Hall came to report that the Cave Master and Ancestral Master have come out of seclusion. He requested that the Grandmasters and Elders of the various halls who are not in seclusion come to the Ancestral Master Hall for a meeting in two hours. He said that the Cave Master and Ancestral Master are going to preach."”
"Alright, you can go." Daoist White Crane said. Zhao Feng, go and find Nan Hairen later. I'll bring the two of you to the Ancestral Hall and ask Senior Brother Yun He to use the Divine Eye to take a look. The Cave Master's profound magic power should be able to see how this phenomenon was caused, and would teach him the method to restrain it.”
After hearing this, Zhao Feng quickly returned to the new courtyard from Daoist White Crane's place. He went to the herb garden where Little Hai Ren was in charge of chores to look for him. As soon as he arrived at the herb garden, he saw Little Hai Ren seriously applying fertilizer to the herbs in the herb garden. "Hai Ren, quickly go back and change your clothes. Then come with me to the Yang Hall and Elder White Crane to visit the Cave Master in the Ancestral Hall." Zhao Feng shouted at Little Hai Ren.”
Little Hai Ren's heart skipped a beat when he heard this. He thought that this was a chance. When it was Cave Master Cloud Crane's turn, he would pass the thing that Senior Hui He had given him to Cave Master and fulfill his promise to Senior Hui He. After changing his clothes, Little Hai Ren and Zhao Feng quickly arrived at the Yang Hall.
Little Hai Ren and Zhao Feng came to Yang Hall and saw Daoist White Crane waiting for them in the quiet room. Little Hai Ren came to White Crane and bowed,""Thank you, grand master elder, for bringing me into the cave.”
Daoist White Crane's eyes lit up when he saw Little Hai Ren.""Child, such a delicate face and such a strange bone structure. You are a good material for cultivation. Have you eaten some kind of pre-world spiritual object before? I can't see through you. We don't have much time left. Let's go to the Ancestral Hall first.”
After saying that, he pulled Little Hai Ren out of the door. When he was outside, he took out a handkerchief and threw it into the sky. The handkerchief grew in the wind and soon became as big as a mat. He pulled Little Hai Ren and Zhao Feng onto the mat. The mat rose into the air and flew towards the back of the mountain.
After a while, they arrived at the back of the mountain. Little Hai Ren saw a cave on the hillside of the back mountain. The entrance of the cave was shining with golden light. He couldn't see how far it was. Near the entrance of the cave was a tall building. There were three courtyards in front and back, and more than a hundred houses. The cave and the buildings were filled with spiritual energy. The open space in the courtyard was filled with exotic flowers and plants, giving people a feeling of transcendence.
After the white crane led Zhao Feng and Little Hai Ren down the " mat ", the mat automatically shrunk and finally turned into a handkerchief. The white crane kept the handkerchief. Bai He looked at the envious little Hai Ren and said,""Don't be curious. This is a small skill. As long as you cultivate diligently, you will soon obtain this divine ability. Don't be in a daze. Let's hurry to the Ancestral Hall. Don't be late.”After saying that, he walked towards the first courtyard.
After passing through the courtyard, they entered a spacious hall. There was a golden statue of a Daoist wearing a Daoist robe, holding a horsetail whisk, and carrying a sword on his back. The incense burner in front of the golden statue was filled with smoke. Little Hai Ren thought,"This might be our sect's founding ancestor, Old Ancestor Cang Yun."
There were five statues on the steps in front of the golden statue. On the golden throne in the middle sat a Taoist priest with white hair and a youthful face. His face was like the ancient moon, and he was wearing a golden Daoist robe. On the throne on the left sat a Taoist priest. One of them was wearing a blue Daoist robe and the other was wearing a gray Daoist robe. One of the two seats on the right was empty, and a beautiful female Daoist in her thirties was sitting on the other seat. She was wearing a black Daoist robe.
At the foot of the steps, there were dozens of rows of Taoist priests of different ages and people dressed in vulgar clothes sitting on them. After Daoist White Crane placed Zhao Feng and Little Hai Ren on two empty seats, he strode to an empty seat on the stairs and sat down. Little Hai Ren thought that the golden-robed Daoist was the sect master, Immortal Yun He.
At this moment, a Daoist priest in his fifties wearing a blue Daoist robe said,""Senior Martial Brother Sect Leader, all the halls, colleges, and core factions have arrived.”
" I've been in seclusion for 20 years and have comprehended a small Dao," said the golden-robed Daoist Yun He." Today, I've gathered everyone here to teach you what I've learned over the past 20 years. Before I went into seclusion, my realm was at the upper stage of the dacheng stage. Now, I've already reached the lower stage of the ascension stage. I'm not far from ascending. I have a feeling that I will ascend to the upper realm in five years. In order to make our sect more prosperous, today I have decided to select 20 disciples from the new academy to be the last disciples of the elders of each hall. Those who are above the Leaving Aperture realm can also find successors in the new academy. Those below the Leaving Aperture realm could not take in disciples. They could only raise their own realm. Otherwise, they would be harming others.”
Everyone began to whisper to each other. Then he heard Yunhe say,"The most important thing is to cultivate the heart."*** Divine powers were based on one's state of mind. If one's state of mind was not good, the deeper one's cultivation was, the easier it was for one to go berserk. Cultivation was originally against the heavens, but defying the heavens also had its roots in following the Heavenly Dao. It was not to be forced. The accident was man-made, but there were also things that should not be done. Whether you do it or not, it all depends on your heart."
Then, the crowd began to ask questions, mainly about the questions they had in cultivation. Immortal Yunhe answered them one by one. Under Zhao Feng's guidance, Little Hai Ren had a comprehensive understanding of everyone present.
The Taoist priest in a blue Taoist robe was about fifty years old. He was Immortal Song He, the elder of Flying Sword Hall. The Taoist priest in a gray Taoist robe was Taoist Huang He, the elder of Worldly Secular Hall. The beautiful female Taoist priest in black Taoist robe was the only female elder of Gray Cloud Cave. She was the elder of Equipment Refining Hall, Fairy Xuan Feng. Fairy Xuan Feng had refined quite a number of spiritual artifacts in the sect. She was very popular in the sect.
Daoist White Crane said to Immortal Yunhe," Senior Brother Sect Master, I have something to ask you. A hundred years ago, Senior Brother said that after the middle stage of Enlightenment, no matter how hard you try, you can't store spiritual power in your dantian. You can't advance your realm anymore, and you can't build your foundation. Is there a solution?"”
"This kind of situation is rare," Immortal Yunhe said."Why are you asking? Could it be that such a person and thing existed in our sect? Could it be that the forefather's prophecy had really happened?”
Daoist White Crane pointed at Little Hai Ren and said,""Child, come over here and let Ancestral Master Cloudcrane take a look at what's wrong with you.”
Little Hai Ren walked up to the Immortal Yun and kowtowed to him. He reached into his pocket and took out something, then handed it to him and said,""I, Nanhai Ren, pay my respects to the Ancestral Master. I now present the item that Senior Hui He entrusted to me before he died. Please examine it, Patriarch.”
Immortal Yunhe's eyes lit up when he saw little Hai Ren. When he heard that it was the last thing Senior Hui He of his sect gave him, his expression changed. He quickly reached out and took a small bag. He opened it and saw that it was a jade box and a letter.
Immortal Yunhe took out the letter from the envelope and read it. After reading the letter, he took the jade box in his hand and looked at it carefully. Then, he made a hand seal with his right hand and pointed at the shining side of the jade box with his left index finger. With a " pa " sound, the jade box opened and a small cauldron was taken out.
Immortal Yunhe made a hand seal at the small cauldron and chanted something. The small cauldron gradually grew bigger and finally stopped when it was three feet in size. Yun He's eyes were filled with grief as he slowly said to Little Hai Ren,""Child, when and where did you finally meet Junior Brother Hui He? Tell me slowly how you found this place.”
After Little Hai Ren heard this, he recounted how he met Hui He at the edge of the forest in Clear Spring Town, and how he was raped by the Heart-Severing Sect. He wandered the streets for more than a year, then wandered to Beigukou Town and met a kind stall owner who sold rice cakes. Under the recommendation of the stall owner's son, Wang Feng, he came to the banquet hall under the Secular Hall to be in charge of bookkeeping.
At the beginning of the year, when he and Wang Feng came to the Secular Hall to pay tribute, the new Elder Ma Xingkong saw the jade pendant of Yunhe and told Immortal Yunhe about it one by one. Among them, Little Hai Ren had hidden his Universe Treasure Bag and the Chaos Sutra.
Immortal Yunhe nodded after hearing this. Then, he activated his divine power and two white lights shot out from Yun He's eyes, locking onto Little Hai Ren. After a while, the white light in Yun He's eyes dissipated. " You've already reached a bottleneck in your cultivation," Yun He said to Little Hai Ren." Your cultivation level hasn't risen, and your spiritual power is gone. However, your bones are pure and strange, and your lifespan is long. You are the only one in my life. Did you consume any treasures while you were wandering?”
Little Hai Ren said," Back then, when it was cold, I picked a few wild fruits from a strange tree growing in a pool in a cave and ate them. I fainted not long after eating them. When I woke up, I felt that the weather was not as cold as before. I didn't feel hungry even if I didn't eat a few meals. I wonder if it's a heavenly treasure."
"What do the small tree and fruits look like?" Immortal Yunhe asked.”Little Hai Ren then described the shape of the small tree and the fruit to Immortal Yun He.
Immortal Yunhe continued," From what you've described, this fruit should be the most precious treasure of the Immortal World, the Nine Heavens Dragon Fruit. In that case, you've already shed your mortal body. No wonder your dantian can't store spiritual energy." It was very difficult to break away from the mortal body and build a foundation, but once one built a foundation, their power and realm would develop rapidly, and it would be limitless. As long as you can work hard. If you consume the nine-day dragon fruit, your lifespan will reach 10,000 years. You don't have to worry about not having enough time to cultivate. Since you've returned the Xumi Divine Cauldron to my sect, I'll take you in as my official disciple. You can become a disciple of the Blackphoenix Fairy of the Weapon Refinery Hall. Junior Sister, what do you think?"
"As you command, Senior Brother," said the beautiful female Taoist priest in black.”
After Little Hai Ren knelt down and kowtowed nine times to Xuan Feng, he said,""*** Nanhai Ren kowtows."
Black Phoenix Fairy said," There's no need to be so polite. Later, you and your Senior Sister will return to the Weapon Refinery Hall together. At that time, I will refine a decent magic weapon for you. You can't be discouraged because your spiritual power can't be stored. As long as you work hard, there is still hope for you to build your foundation."”
Light was like an arrow. Little Hai Ren had been the chief of the Artefact Refining Hall in the Gray Cloud Cave for five years. In these five years, Little Hai Ren had already practiced the Spring Autumn Art to the last level, the twelfth level, but his realm was still stuck at the middle stage of the Enlightenment Realm. In the past five years, Little Hai Ren's craftsmanship had improved a lot, and he was now on par with his senior brothers and sisters. The black-clothed fairy was quite satisfied with Little Hai Ren. She had already trained him as her personal assistant and taught him her secret craftsmanship techniques without reservation.
That night, Little Hai Ren had just finished refining a small shield. Then, he began to practice the Spring and Autumn Art. When he was circulating his energy, Little Hai Ren felt that he was absorbing spiritual energy very quickly and urgently. He felt like he didn't have enough spiritual energy. The spiritual energy surged towards little Hai Ren at a speed that could be seen by the naked eye.
The powerful spiritual energy fluctuation alarmed Fairy Black Phoenix. She frowned and came to Little Hai Ren's side, seriously protecting her beloved disciple. Little Hai Ren's absorption of ling power had reached its peak, and it was obvious that his dantian was expanding, as if it was about to explode.
Little Hai Ren's face was filled with pain, and the veins on his forehead bulged…At this moment, his face changed from white to red, then from red to purple, and then back to white. Xuan Feng could see that Little Hai Ren, who hadn't made any progress in his cultivation realm in the past few years, had already entered the upper level of the Enlightenment Stage and was still increasing…Little Hai Ren only felt a bang in his head, as if he had heard someone shouting," Foundation Establishment is a success."
