Chapter 9: Pharmacist Liuli
Chen Xiwei intended to convey to him that if possible, he should engage in some activities and make arrangements in advance to join the lineage of the most suitable shrine for himself, as this would be beneficial for future development
From the name alone, it is evident that the Medicine Master Lapis Lazuli Sutra is clearly a Buddhist practice. Although it is only used for foundational training, it is indeed a legitimate teaching of the Buddhist school and is absolutely not to be disseminated externally
It's nothing, just a bit tired
Ning Feng smacked his lips, harboring considerable resentment towards the seven-day period, wishing he could start immediately
Chen Xiwei stood in front of Ning Feng, bending slightly at the waist, with both hands resting on his knees, his brows slightly furrowed, as if expressing some dissatisfaction
Thinking of that outcome, for instance, if the body were dragged away by wolves, tigers, or leopards, and a dignified aspiring immortal was feeding wild beasts, then the joke would become quite significant
He rubbed his furrowed brow, which was wrinkled from fatigue, and glanced towards the red jade bedpost
Ning Feng looked at her silhouette, deep in thought, "Speaking of which, I truly do not know which family Chen Xiwei comes from. She usually keeps it very private; I wonder what there is to hide?"
The Seven Wonders of the World are indeed as renowned as their name suggests
This time
Similar events, over the past three years, Ning Feng has lost count of how many times he has experienced them. Some matters, after all, cannot be forced; often, when one is mentally exhausted and attempts to practice forcibly, it becomes unbearable, and within a single breath, one may suffer a splitting headache and automatically break free from the state of meditation.
June days pass quickly, making it difficult to attend to matters
Whether it is the remarkably complete and enormous red jade or the futon that appears to be anything but ordinary, neither is something commonly seen
What are we waiting for
They were too close, reducing the distance to just two fists apart, their faces almost touching.
On a single day, the great roc rises with the wind, soaring straight up to ninety thousand miles
He entered the cultivation of the "Medicine Master Lapis Lazuli Sutra" once again without any hesitation
Ning Feng put down his hands, sighed, and suddenly asked, "Don't you think so?"
What are you staring at
Faster than before, in just a few breaths, Ning Feng's demeanor turned serene, and golden light once again radiated from his body, as countless points of light converged and surged into him
He could never say that he just wandered around inside the Nine Orifices Stone and gained a lot from it
Ning Feng had something on his mind, but he simply waved his hand casually, indicating for the other party to lead the way ahead, and did not pay much attention to it
It is these eight characters that have piqued the interest of the Sun God Palace. Since the body is as clear as crystal, both inside and out, wouldn't it be perfect for cultivating the true teachings of the Sun in the future? Is it not the best vessel to accommodate the power of the Sun's divine light?
Ning Feng shrugged his shoulders and said with both hands spread out
Ning Feng took several deep breaths to calm the impatience in his heart and began to silently cultivate the "Pharmacist's Glazed Scripture," which he had practiced for three years at the outer gate
Tsk tsk tsk, how extravagant!
Hoo---
Chen Xiwei's expression softened, and her voice turned gentle: "Hmm, Ning Feng, pull yourself together. The elder from the Fragrant Pavilion just came to inform us that in seven days, it will be the Fuyiao Conference"
In other words, on that day, Ning Feng and the thirty disciples, relying on the overwhelming power of the Sun God Palace, will formally enter the mountain gate and become disciples of the palace in the presence of countless powerful figures from around the world
Although the Incense Pavilion is mysterious, once one officially enters, they will certainly be qualified to go there. Ning Feng's attention is mostly focused on the three characters "Fuyiao Association"
After approximately the time it takes to burn a stick of incense, Ning Feng awoke from his meditation, exhaling a breath of turbid air
Ning Feng assessed his own condition; he did not have a mirror, otherwise he would have known the result simply from the striking difference in the brilliance of his eyes compared to before
Finally, it can be verified
He has not yet completely emerged from the state of near-death. Although he is clearly expressing his emotions, his eyes remain calm and clear, devoid of any feelings, as indifferent as a stone
Upon entering the quiet room, he was greeted by a faint fragrance wafting from an unknown source, reminiscent of orchids and musk, which naturally eased his mind and spirit
Elder Jingxiang is a legendary figure among both the inner and outer disciples of the Sun God Palace
It's nothing, let's go
Jiangxiang Pavilion ... ... seven days later ... ... Fuyiao Meeting
As far as Ning Feng's gaze could reach, this quiet room was entirely adorned with red jade, emanating a warm and gentle ambiance, reminiscent of the feeling of strolling in the sunlight during winter
Arranging such a quiet room for us to rest for three days before allowing us to leave is likely intended to compensate for the losses incurred by the newly initiated disciples in the Soul Realm
Ning Feng expressed his astonishment and was greatly satisfied. This concern for his disciples, in contrast to the previously heard domineering phrase "can be taken at will," instilled a profound sense of belonging.
Ning Feng had a sudden realization.
Ning Feng smiled, his smile pure and his gaze clear, leaving the young girl momentarily stunned before she quickly regained her composure and led the way
In the midst of self-reflection, the side hall's main door was pushed open, and sunlight poured in, dazzling the young man inside the hall to the point where he could not open his eyes
Before one has traveled the world, one has already gained insights from various perspectives; just thinking about it stirs one's blood and makes it hard to contain oneself
Approximately ten grains of sand in time
Centered around Ning Feng's body, the area within a radius of approximately 10 feet is somewhat brighter than other places, with visible specks of light continuously entering his body.
Ning Feng politely expressed his gratitude and then shut himself in his room
... and so on, there were attendants leading us to rest. After three days, we were finally permitted to leave the shrine
The origins of this martial art left him astounded on the very first day he learned about it, providing him with a new understanding of the dominance of the Sun God Palace
You will know after trying it once
Ning Feng quickly set aside these thoughts, casually tossing aside his shoes, afraid of stepping on the red jade bed, and sat upright on the light yellow mat, naturally assuming the five hearts facing the sky posture
In an instant, a glass-like radiance enveloped Ning Feng, with clarity emanating from both within and without
The young girl in light blue was startled, glanced around, and then confirmed that the question was directed at her
Before closing his eyes, he once again checked the time as he had done before
The most striking feature is a red jade bed that measures a full 1 zhang in length and 6 chi in width, upon which is placed a light yellow mat.
In less than the time it takes to brew a cup of tea, they arrived at the temporary accommodation arranged for them by the shrine.
Ning Feng, having passed through the "Nine Deaths Heart Realm," was now in peak mental condition, capable of defeating even two tigers. His mind was certainly sharp, allowing him to immediately grasp the key points in Chen Xiwei's words
It is almost at its limit
As soon as he took a step forward, he abruptly retracted his foot with a "scrape" sound
Ning Feng shook his head regretfully and stepped towards the jade bed.
Chen Xiwei dropped this nonsensical remark and turned back to her own seat
In the span of ten breaths, a faint golden light began to emanate from his motionless body
one breath, two breaths, three breaths
How many years have passed, and this "Yao Shi Liu Li Jing" has been openly taught at the outer gate of the Sun God Palace. The relationship between the palace and the Buddhist sect, ahem, can be easily imagined
In order to establish a foundation for this introductory cultivation method, the Sun God Palace sought a pretext and engaged in direct confrontations with the Buddhist sect several times, forcibly appropriating this technique.
Fuyouhui refers to the days when Ning Feng and his peers, these fledglings, soar upwards with great momentum
Unfortunately, it cannot stay for long
May in my next life, when I attain enlightenment, my body be like crystal, clear and bright inside and out, pure and free from blemish
just ... ...
At the beginning, Ning Feng sat cross-legged with his eyes closed, his brows tightly furrowed, as if he were straining in the depths of the unknown, attempting to enter something. After a moment, his entire body trembled, and he relaxed completely.
At the Fuyou Conference, I will pay my respects at Tianze Peak
Ning Feng appeared calm and composed as he effortlessly entered the cultivation of the Medicine Master Lapis Lazuli Sutra
Retracting his gaze, Ning Feng silently told himself: "Next time I enter the Nine Aperture Stone World, I must find a secluded place. Previously, the elder from the Incense Pavilion came in to announce those matters, and I was completely unaware. This is one thing, but if there is danger..."
Ning Feng did not need to look back, as he could already feel the piercing gaze of jealousy directed at him.
Ning Feng was quite agitated, twisting on the mat, and then he firmly closed his eyes.
The shrine truly reflects great care and effort
There lies the sacred ground of the Sun God Palace, one of the seven great sects of the world. In addition to housing countless secret manuals of cultivation techniques, it contains an abundance of extraordinary tales and hidden secrets from the realm of immortality spanning ten thousand years, as well as information on rare birds and beasts, heavenly materials, and earthly treasures, encompassing all that one could imagine
Well, it's about the same as usual
Is it already confirmed so soon?
Once they adapted to the brightness, they discovered that before each person stood a slender young girl with a delicate appearance, dressed in a light green outfit, gracefully performing a curtsy.
Now is the time to test the state of being on the brink of death.
Ning Feng smiled at her and waved his hand in greeting, while Chen Xiwei huffed and turned her head away, heading in the opposite direction
Ning Feng, you still have a few days to carefully plan which martial art you intend to major in the future, and to choose which sect you will join.
Ning Feng spoke to himself, filled with emotion, "In the realm of near-death, it feels longer than a lifetime."
Oh, it seems there is something implied within the words. Could this be a hint
In the vast incense pavilion, which is also a significant location, he has always been the sole person in charge, which is quite peculiar
Ning Fenghuo suddenly opened his eyes, his entire body’s pores wide open, releasing a cloud of white vapor that lingered without dissipating, enveloping the entire red jade bed
No one knows, and no one dares to try
The Sun God Palace possesses a unique technique known as the "Great Sun Circulation Method." By utilizing the "Circulation Method," anyone with sufficient cultivation who can gaze upon the Great Sun may witness the celestial phenomena of the Ascending Phoenix from within the sun.
Ning Feng bitterly smiled; he was not a scion of a family of immortals, so how could he possibly have the connections to pave the way
Remarkably, this Pharmacist Liuli Sutra possesses a unique characteristic; it is one of the few disciplines in the world that, at the entry level, allows for the refinement of the physical body, laying a foundation in preparation for the future practice of the orthodox methods of the Sun God Palace.
Every three years, the Sun God Palace holds the Fuyiao Conference, where the masters of various peaks select disciples to join. The newly admitted disciples are personally presented with the Sun Scarf, which signifies their identity as disciples of the Sun God Palace.
Indeed ... ...
Under normal circumstances, to undergo cultivation again, at least three hours must pass.
When he walked out of the side hall under the guidance of the light blue-clad girl and looked up, he realized that he and Chen Xiwei were actually among the first to come out.
It is said that his cultivation is profound, rivaling that of the elders of various peaks, and he is more likely to be the legendary ancestor; there are also claims that he practices differently, merely being an ordinary old man.
There, a crystal hourglass is slowly letting golden grains of sand trickle down one by one
Before entering the cultivation, Ning Feng had glanced at the hourglass. Now, upon comparing the two, he immediately realized how much effort had been expended.
Ah?
These two sentences were spoken by Chen Xiwei while looking into Ning Feng's eyes, articulated slowly and with clear enunciation
Thank you, miss
In the side hall, there were all young men, who, despite knowing that these lightly dressed young girls were merely leading them to rest as attendants, still felt at a loss. Many stood up in a hurry, unsure of where to place their hands and feet, and some, flustered, almost bowed to the young girls as if they were fairies.
The endless journey begins once again
According to the teachings in the Pharmacist's Luminous Sutra, it is described as: the body is like crystal, clear and transparent inside and out
The hair on his forehead was drenched, and Ning Feng paid no mind to the stinging sensation caused by sweat flowing into his eyes, casting another glance at the crystal hourglass.
The name "Jingxiang Pavilion" is so elegant that he will not forget it after hearing it just once
