Chapter 103 The cold moon in the cold pond, the heart of the moon in the pond(1/4)
Everyone knows how rare such an opportunity is.
After just joking a little and relaxing, everyone began to walk around carefully in the Sutra Library, which they had only heard of by name and would never visit again in the future.
As early as when everyone was still on the Dharma boat, everyone had already seen it clearly.
This tower-shaped Buddhist scripture building has five floors. The higher the floor, the smaller the area. The first floor, which is the base of the tower, has the largest area.
Host He Xin initially led Meng Zhou and others into the empty hall on the first floor. Around the hall, there were small doors leading to different areas.
Qi training, body refining, spells, talisman making, alchemy, weapon refining, formations, puppets, beast control, spiritual plants, spiritual materials, monster beasts, spiritual veins, evil veins, maps, martial arts, anecdotes, miscellaneous...
Items are divided into categories.
Just by looking at the wooden signs posted next to each small door, you can imagine how rich the classics are on this floor.
However, everyone just glanced at it casually and stepped onto the stairs to the second floor. No one had any intention of staying on this floor.
Climbing up to the second floor, you are in the empty hall. If you look around casually, you will find that the space around you is more compact than what is visible to the naked eye on the first floor.
The areas this hall leads to have changed both in number and name.
Qi training, body training, soul training, spells, alchemy weapons, talisman formations, spirit control...
Meng Zhou only glanced around casually, then walked directly towards the "Soul Refining" door.
The other nine fellow casual cultivators who were building foundations were also like him. They all had clear goals and entered the "soul refining" door.
Behind the small door is a room that looks very empty.
More than a hundred jade slips are dotted sparsely throughout the walls, sealed inside by transparent crystal covers.
Since the ten casual cultivators entered the room, they stood in the room without moving for a long time, as if they had been pressed to pause.
It is no wonder that everyone is so arrogant. In the outside world, they seek a soul-refining secret method that is unavailable. However, here, there are more than a hundred kinds. How can everyone not be shocked by the diversity of the world.
However, everyone was not a glass-hearted person. They quickly woke up and quickly dispersed to various parts of the room, looking for the soul-refining secret method that fit their own path.
""The Heart-Refining Picture of the Fierce Sun", at noon, visualize the picture of the Fierce Sun in your mind, draw the energy of the Fiery Sun into the sea of consciousness, and temper your soul.
Advantages: Quick effect, the strength of the soul can be greatly strengthened in a short period of time, it comes with a variety of secret attack techniques of the soul, and the power is amazing.
Disadvantages: The cultivation process is extremely painful and should not be done by those who have a strong and persevering mind. Long-term cultivation of this method can easily lead to violent and extreme temperament.
It is not recommended for those who have practiced fire-based cultivation methods to practice this method. Those who choose wood, earth, and water-based cultivation methods can consider it as appropriate."
""The Picture of the True Form of the Mountain King", visualize the true form of the third-order tiger in your mind, get the true form and true meaning of the Mountain King, and temper your soul.
Advantages: The soul will have its own natural power and will have a strong deterrent effect on monsters below level three. When practiced to a high level, it will stimulate powerful animal instincts and have strong foresight of unknown dangers.
Disadvantages: The growth rate is slow, and it requires going deep into the mountains and forests to observe and learn the habits of tigers for a long time.
Note: Don’t think about saving trouble, catch a few tigers and keep them in captivity for observation. If it doesn’t succeed, it’s okay. If it succeeds, it will not be the true form of the mountain king, but the true form of the lynx. Remember, remember!”
Meng Zhou looked at the two affectionate words "Qie Ji" and thought to himself, could it be that the senior who left this text had tried it himself?
I wonder what the characteristics of the true form of the lynx refined by the soul are?
There were a total of one hundred and thirty-four soul-refining secrets, and Meng Zhou didn't miss any of them. He read them all carefully one by one.
During this process, Meng Zhou could feel his vigorous heartbeat, truly throbbing.
Even if it is just a name and a simple introduction, Meng Zhou has already jumped out of the well and glimpsed the shock of a larger and broader world.
For the first time, he saw the vastness of the world of cultivation.
Where are the things I have seen and heard before?
Meng Zhou did not have a particularly strong difficulty in making choices. When he saw the eighty kinds, he basically had the answer in his mind as to which soul refining secret method to choose.
These more than one hundred soul-refining secrets seemed like a lot, but as he read more, he gradually discovered that there was actually a core thread to follow.
The secret methods of soul refining can generally be divided into just a few categories.
The first is to visualize the natural phenomena of heaven and earth, such as the scorching sun, flames, ice, thunder, mountains, rivers, etc., and use it to "make a hammer from the void" to obtain a tool for tempering the soul, and due to their different properties, they give the soul different powers.
characteristics.
The first is to visualize the true forms of certain powerful creatures, such as tigers, giant whales, goshawks, giant pythons, foxes, etc., while tempering the soul, it also acquires some powerful soul characteristics.
The next step is to visualize some unnatural and man-made things. This kind of "man-made" can be a powerful magic weapon, a man-made statue of a god, or some other wonder endowed with magical properties.
The advantage of this type of soul-refining secret method is that it has the lowest threshold and requires the least qualifications of the cultivator. Because it can actively and batch introduce cultivators into a certain kind of method through some supporting rituals and methods similar to hypnosis.
in a special situation.
For example, there is a soul-refining secret method called "The True Shape Diagram of the Oven", which uses a third-level top-quality magic weapon from the Qingxuan Sect as the core of the visualization.
It is the first choice of many foundation-building alchemists and weapon refiners in Qingxuan Sect when they choose to practice the secret soul method.
However, this type of secret method also has many limitations and disadvantages. One of them is that the practitioner will be easily controlled by the true form of the things he or she is visualizing, which is equivalent to signing a soul contract.
Once the object is mastered by someone with ulterior motives, it is equivalent to becoming that person's soul servant.
Therefore, at the end of this type of soul-refining secret method, there will always be a dazzling reminder in blood, "It is strictly prohibited to practice similar soul-refining secret method of unknown origin!"
Seeing this, Meng Zhou inexplicably thought of the strange three-headed statue that he had captured from "Hu Gui", as well as the strange inheritance of the Sutra of Li and Hate that he had actively sealed deep in his heart.
He was almost certain that the function of that strange statue was not only to transform Lihen species, but should also be the core of a soul-refining secret method.
There are many weird secret methods involving the soul in the inheritance of the Sutra of Li Hen, but Meng Zhou never considered selecting a usable soul-refining secret method among them.
It is not a question of whether there are pits or not, but a question of how many pits there are and how few pits there are, and whether the pits are deep or shallow.
The previous master had given him a lesson with his life. On this issue, he believed in being careful and safety first, and no matter how cautious he was, he could never be too cautious.
""The Picture of Cold Pool and Cold Moon" is yours." Meng Zhou made a decision in his heart.
""Cold Pool and Cold Moon Picture" uses the soul as the cold pool, visualizes the cold moon, the cold moon transforms into the heart of the pool, and the cold pool refines the cold moon.
Advantages: The soul refining process is gentle, long-lasting, long-lasting, and thorough. It has a strong defensive effect on secret techniques such as charm, psychedelic, and mind-searching.
Disadvantages: It is difficult to get started, and the cultivation process is even more difficult. The human soul is not a cold pool, and the human heart is not like a cold moon. There are seven emotions and six desires. The slightest thought will cause ripples, and the secret method will scatter by itself.
Note: This secret method is suitable for people who are naturally lonely and lonely."
The reason why he was attracted to this secret method was not because of his lonely and lonely temperament, but because the biggest shortcoming of practicing this secret method did not hold true for him at all.
The compatibility between this soul-refining secret method and him, even if it is not 100%, is at least 99% or more.
Therefore, Meng Zhou made the choice easily.
At this moment, Meng Zhou felt someone else beside him.
Turning around, he saw Xu Wanzhen standing next to him.
She spoke through the transmission of her spiritual consciousness: "It seems that Fellow Daoist Meng is really a heartless person."
"Both each other." Meng Zhou simply replied and said nothing more to her.
In his mind, he rolled his eyes. He chose the Cold Pool and Cold Moon Diagram because the shortcomings of this secret method did not exist for him.
But for Xu Wanzhen, she chose this secret method because she was "lonely and lonely" by nature.
After making his choice, Meng Zhou turned around and left the room, and went around to other rooms.
Although, you can only live it up for the eyes, but it is also good to take this opportunity to expand your knowledge.
Others also made their choices one after another, and like Meng Zhou, began to wander around in other rooms.
Before I knew it, the day passed by.
As for the entire second floor, even if he just took a quick look, Meng Zhou could only see half of the area.
Returning to the hall on the first floor again, Host Hexin handed over the inheritance jade slips to Meng Zhou and others.
Before each person receives the inheritance jade slip, there is a process of making an oath to the Taoist heart, promising to only use it for his own practice, not to pass it on to others, and not to use it for profit.
This was the first time Meng Zhou made an oath to the Taoist Heart. He found that as the Taoist Oath was uttered, a strange feeling suddenly arose in his heart, as if his soul was entangled with something.
Soon, this feeling disappeared, and there was no longer any strange feeling.
Meng Zhou also discovered that there was a flashing red dot in the upper right corner of the personal avatar icon in the upper left corner of his field of vision, which meant that his personal status had been updated.
Meng Zhou suppressed his curiosity and did not immediately check the changes.
They boarded the Dharma boat of Master Hexin just as they had come.
The Dharma boat lifted into the sky, and the huge peak where the Buddhist Scripture Tower was located quickly moved away, and soon came to the front of the vast white curtain.
The boat sank directly into it, and the next moment, after experiencing a sense of chaos and trance, everyone found that they had returned to the sky above Qinglinfang and Xinlou again.
Master Hexin stretched out his hand to move the Dharma Ark. The Dharma Ark quickly became smaller and disappeared in his hand.
Meng Zhou and other ten casual cultivators laid foundations one after another.
"Okay, I hope you will continue to work hard in the future.
If you need anything, you are welcome to come to Hexin Building to see me at any time."
After saying that, she turned around and entered Hexin Tower.
The ten casual cultivators looked at each other. After this encounter, they felt that they were suddenly very close and familiar with each other.
The key is that everyone realizes that these people here are all casual cultivators of the same kind, and they have all proven their abilities, and they have been given such an opportunity this time.
To be continued...
