Chapter 2048: Qilin Moves
After returning to Luohua Temple, Qin Sang did not come out immediately after recovering from his retreat. He carefully recalled the details of refining the treasure, sorted out the context, and verified it with his own understanding of the way of refining equipment. He felt that he benefited a lot.
After summing up some experience, Qin Sang came out of retreat and saw Master Yuhong waiting outside.
"Have the fellow Taoists left?"
Qin Sang asked.
Yu Hong Zhenren replied: "Zhen Tong Hu Zhenren is still in seclusion, and several other seniors are still guests in the mountains at the invitation of the temple master."
Qin Sang nodded, knowing that Madam Shuanghua and the others should have the same idea as him, so he did not leave.
"Reporting to Elder Qin, I have selected several potential members from the Jufu clan and let Elder Qin choose them," Master Yuhong continued.
Qin Sang hummed and said, "I'm sorry to trouble the temple master and the real person. Where are they now?"
Master Yu Hong pointed to the foot of the mountain and said, "They are all waiting at the hut at the foot of the mountain. If Elder Qin is interested, I will bring them up the mountain now."
"it is good."
Qin Sang's mind moved, and he stopped Master Yu Hong from going down the mountain, "Let them go up the mountain on their own."
As he spoke, Qin Sang waved his right arm and released a ray of spiritual power, which turned into mist in the air and fell down, covering the entire mountain. He then sat cross-legged on a rock nearby.
Using his spiritual eyes, Master Yu Hong saw several simple checkpoints set up in the white mist. Knowing that Qin Sang wanted to test him, he stood where he was and cast a spell to transmit a message to the foot of the mountain.
At the foot of the mountain, among the bamboo forest, there were several rows of huts, and more than a dozen Jufu people, both men and women, were breathing and regulating their breath in the huts. Qin Sang was worried that the Jufu people were too attached to Luohua Temple, so he made a requirement for their cultivation. They were probably in the human Jindan stage, and they could still be cultivated.
Since they were born, they have been instilled with the idea that Luohua Temple is their supreme sect, and it is their honor to be chosen by the true masters of the supreme sect and to serve them.
The whole clan takes the elders who follow the master as their role models.
Now there is an opportunity to follow a strong man with the same cultivation as the master of the temple. All the people in the Jufu clan regard it as the greatest opportunity in their life and will definitely try their best to fight for it and will not dare to slack off in the slightest.
While they were practicing hard, they heard the voice of Yuhong Shangzhen. Everyone was refreshed and pushed open the door of the hut. They were surprised to find that it was white outside and they could not see anything.
Their huts were close to each other, and they were very close to their companions, but they could not sense their companions' breath.
Recalling the content of the voice transmission, they could only suppress the uneasiness in their hearts and walked towards the top of the mountain alone. When they moved, they found something strange again. Invisible pressure came down from the void, pressing them to the ground. Not only could they not fly, but their blood circulation was also blocked. When they tried to use their magical powers, they felt an extra layer of obstacles. The consumption increased several times. All their previous reliance became useless, and every step they climbed was extremely difficult.
Not knowing what was waiting for them ahead, some people were confused and uneasy, while others quickly calmed down and climbed up step by step.
In the white mist, more than a dozen figures crawled towards the top of the mountain, gradually widening the gap between them.
Master Yuhong saw all of this and thought to himself that these members of the Jufu clan were all the best in the clan, with varying levels of talent. However, judging from the levels set by Qin Sang, it was clear that their character and resilience were more important.
Even if he was a servant, Qin Sang didn't want to keep a jerk around.
The test lasted for most of the day before the first member of the Jufu tribe passed through the fog and reached the top of the mountain.
He was almost exhausted, his face covered with sweat, and he wanted to lie down and take a deep sleep. When he saw Qin Sang and Master Yu Hong, he was about to greet them when he heard someone behind him shouting, "Brother!"
Qin Sang's eyes flashed, and he waved his hand again, and the fog dissipated immediately. The others who were still struggling in the fog were sent to the foot of the mountain by a gentle force. They knew that they had been eliminated, and they were deeply annoyed.
The first to reach the top of the mountain were actually two brothers. They stepped forward and saluted together, "Greetings to the two Supremes!"
The two brothers were both worried, fearing that Shang Zhen would only accept one person and separate them.
Qin Sang said calmly: "What are your names?"
"My name is Qingjia!"
"My name is Qing Yi!"
Qin Sang looked at Master Yu Hong and said, "Let's just take these two. Can you please give them up?"
Yu Hong Zhenren readily agreed and immediately said to the two brothers, "Why don't you go to see Elder Qin quickly!"
"I have several spirit beasts, and they all call me 'Master'. You should do the same in the future. Your cultivation is too low, and you must practice diligently, otherwise you will not be qualified to guard my cave," Qin Sang admonished.
The two brothers were terrified and knelt down, shouting, "We will follow the Master's instructions!"
Qin Sang nodded with satisfaction. Just as he was about to ask about the difference between the cultivation of the alien race and that of the human race, he suddenly felt something in his heart. A trace of surprise flashed in his eyes. He stood up and said to Master Yuhong, "I still have not fully comprehended what I have learned before. Don't alarm Madam Shuanghua and other Taoist friends for now. Wait until Master Tonghu comes out of retreat and then come and call me."
He ordered the brothers Qingjia and Qingyi to guard outside. Qin Sang hurried into the quiet room and sat cross-legged.
Just now, he suddenly felt a strange fluctuation coming from the fire lotus in the purple mansion, and the Qilin source seed seemed to be moving abnormally!
It has been about eight hundred years since the Qilin Source Seed was placed into the lotus heart and hatched in the fire lotus according to the method taught by Suzaku. This is the first time that the Qilin Source Seed has fluctuated, except for being actively touched by Qin Sang.
When Qin Sang first refined the Qilin Source Seed, he did not expect it would take so long, spanning the entire stage of the Spirit Transformation Period.
Now I finally see the light!
Qin Sang sealed the cave and set up a formation of flags before he could no longer wait to summon the fire lotus.
There was a flash of fire between the eyebrows, and a fire lotus slowly flew out, looking almost the same as before.
"Is there a situation?"
Sensing Qin Sang summoning the Fire Lotus, Suzaku also flew out and looked at Lianxin with great anticipation.
Qin Sang said nothing, but his mind moved slightly, and the lotus petals opened layer by layer, revealing the 'lotus seed', which was the Qilin source seed.
For hundreds of years, Qin Sang had been continuously draining the essence of the Qilin source seed. Later, under the guidance of Suzaku, he changed his strategy and hatched the Qilin true spirit. Now, a deep bond has developed between him and Qin Sang.
It still looks like a lotus seed, but in fact the essence inside has been almost hollowed out. The lotus seed now is almost entirely woven together bit by bit by Qin Sang using his spiritual sense to replace the original.
In fact, in the process of extracting the essence of the Qilin Source Seed, Qin Sang's spiritual consciousness has been growing continuously, but most of it has been restrained by the Qilin Source Seed, and he has not directly enjoyed the benefits from it. The growth of external spiritual consciousness is brought about by the improvement of cultivation, so he has no advantage over the cultivators of the same level.
Because he was worried that Qilin might have some tricks up his sleeve and would destroy the Qilin's true spirit, Qin Sang was extremely careful in every move. This part of his spiritual power was born from consuming essence, so it could disguise a similar aura and deceive the Qilin's true spirit.
The Qilin source seed is like a cocoon. The creature inside the cocoon is still there, but the outer shell has been replaced unnoticed.
Although Qin Sang had done this, he still did not dare to rashly touch the Qilin True Spirit, and his movements were extremely cautious. He carefully transferred a trace of his energy to it every once in a while, preferring less to more. The Qilin True Spirit gradually grew stronger in a subtle way, but there was no sign of awakening.
In comparison, the Qilin True Spirit is like the jade ruler of Taoist Luo Hua, still a chaotic spirituality that has been unable to give birth to true consciousness, or its consciousness has been dormant.
Qin Sang couldn't think of any good solution and could only let it evolve on its own.
At this time, the Qilin Spirit finally reacted!
Qin Sang stared at the fire lotus, and saw that the lotus heart was affected by the fluctuations of the Qilin source seed, and the flames fluctuated.
This wave was actually very weak, and Qin Sang did not sense a real consciousness from it, but after investigating it, he had a vague understanding. The Qilin Origin Seed was closely related to the "Fire Seed Golden Lotus" technique. Next, he only needed to use his full strength to operate this technique, and perhaps he would usher in some kind of transformation.
Just as he was about to activate the secret technique, Qin Sang suddenly remembered something and stopped.
"Why stop!"
Suzaku yelled, very dissatisfied.
It has long been coveting the Qilin. Whether it can find the origin of the Qilin is related to whether it can recover its cultivation as soon as possible.
It also has a secret ambition. When the time comes, it will be such a joy to call someone "Xiao Qin" in return!
At the critical moment, Qin Sang stopped, and Zhuque snorted in anger.
What Qin Sang was thinking was that if they caused any trouble inside someone else's mountain gate, or even directly attracted a heavenly calamity and caused a disturbance, he didn't want to see that.
This might not be impossible. He didn't know how long Qilin had been sleeping, or what means it used to avoid the heavenly calamity. He had to make proper arrangements before taking any action.
Ignoring Zhuque's dissatisfaction, Qin Sang waited for a while, and seeing that the fluctuations had not disappeared, he put the fire lotus into the Purple Palace.
It took several days to search for the source of the Qilin seed. Not long after, True Man Yuhong came to report that True Man Tonghu had come out of seclusion.
Qin Sang came out of the quiet room and saw the brothers Qing Jia and Qing Yi waiting outside diligently. He said, "We will be leaving soon. You should go and say goodbye to your relatives first. These pills can strengthen the body and strengthen the body. You and your Jufu clan should be able to refine and absorb them. Consider them as gifts from this old man to them."
"Thank you, Master, for the elixir!"
The two brothers' faces were filled with gratitude, knowing that they had followed the right master. Their joy diluted the sadness of parting with their loved ones.
Qin Sang dismissed the two of them and flew towards Madam Shuanghua's quiet room with Master Yuhong.
"Elder Qin is here!"
Everyone was here, and they all stood up to greet him.
After working together to refine treasures, everyone was familiar with each other. Without being bound by etiquette, they sat down. Madam Shuanghua said, "Elder Qin, we have benefited a lot from the invitation of the temple master. I have discussed with a few fellow Taoists that we should hold a small discussion meeting to exchange experiences in refining equipment. What do you think, Elder Qin?"
This statement coincided with Qin Sang's, and he immediately agreed, "I couldn't ask for more!"
Madam Shuanghua nodded happily, "It's a pity that the transformation of the spiritual treasure failed. Luohua Temple seems to have some important arrangements. The temple master and Master Quan have been in seclusion one after another. It's inconvenient to disturb them. In my opinion, we have been disturbing Luohua Temple for a long time. Why don't we go to a place outside to discuss the Tao? How about it?"
Everyone had no objection, so they left the quiet room and flew towards the main peak together.
The person presiding over Luohua Temple at this time was a nun named Qiluo. Qiluo invited everyone to stay for a few more days, but everyone politely declined.
"We should have waited for the temple master and Master Quan to come out of retreat and say goodbye in person, but we still have many things to deal with at home, so we dare not stay too long. Please let Master Qiluo convey our message. We will take our leave now!"
True Man Qi Luo opened the mountain gate and sent all the True Men out of the mountain. After waiting for a while, the brothers Qing Jia and Qing Yi came hurriedly. Clouds appeared under Qin Sang's feet, wrapped up the two of them, and flew away with Madam Shuang Hua and others.
Everyone flew towards Yanling City. Master Tonghu remembered that there was an uninhabited island on the way with great scenery, so he suggested going there.
When we arrived at the land, we found that the island was indeed full of strange peaks and beautiful waters. If it weren't for the thin spiritual energy, it would have been occupied by monks long ago.
They found a mountain peak and sat down beside a flowing spring. They each took out the fairy fruit and fine wine, placed them on the spring, and drank from the cups. The brothers Qingjia and Qingyi and Madam Shuanghua's daughter stood by their side.
"My fellow Taoists, you should still remember the secret technique that the temple master used you to perform, right?"
This is the real purpose of this Taoist Dharma Assembly. As soon as they sat down, Master Tonghu could not help but bring it up.
Everyone looked at each other and nodded slightly.
By integrating the secret techniques learned by everyone, even if the complete secret technique cannot be restored, by gathering the power of all the weapon-refining masters, perhaps a special secret technique can be comprehended.
Madam Shuanghua had the highest level of cultivation, and she presided over the ceremony. She opened her red lips and narrated what she had gained in the process of refining treasures.
Everyone listened attentively, and after a moment they realized that Madam Shuanghua had almost nothing to hide. They couldn't help but be moved and listened attentively.
Madam Shuanghua's voice was like celestial music. Everyone forgot to taste the magical fruit and wine in front of them. Even after Madam Shuanghua finished speaking, the lingering sound was still there. Everyone was immersed in it, unable to extricate themselves. No one spoke for a long time, and there was only the sound of flowing springs.
They were not in a hurry to communicate. Next it was the weirdo's turn to explain. The male and female leaders took turns speaking, one sentence each, but their ideas were very clear and quite peculiar.
With Madam Shuanghua as an example, others felt compelled to keep their insights to themselves, including Qin Sang, who shared his insights.
You know, what they expounded included not only the secret techniques of Luohua Temple, but also their unique insights based on their own inheritance, which was a great inspiration to others.
After each person explained, they began to take turns to clarify the doubts, and then everyone continued to explain their own understanding.
The sun rises and the moon sets.
Everyone was talking about profound ideas and forgetting the passage of time. They were completely unaware that the wild flowers by the spring had already experienced a cycle of blooming and withering, welcoming the autumn yellow, and then the midwinter. The flower stems on the surface had withered, but the roots were still alive, buried deep under the snow, waiting for the arrival of spring.
Countless mornings and evenings.
Finally, Master Tonghu let out a long sigh and stretched lazily.
Everyone seemed to wake up from a dream and only then did they feel the cold stones beneath them.
The monk surnamed Yu stretched out his hand and brushed the ice, melting it. He picked up the jade cup in front of him and drank it all in one gulp. He said happily, "Now my trip is worthwhile!"
Everyone agreed with this and looked at Madam Shuanghua.
Madam Shuanghua used her fingers as a pen, mobilizing her true energy to draw in the air. One after another, the glowing words were born at her fingertips, eventually forming a mysterious chapter.
"We are here because of Luo Hua. This article is derived from Luo Hua's technique. When performing the technique, it is like being in a dream. So it is named "Luo Hua Dream Interpretation". What do you think, fellow Taoists?"
Madam Shuanghua glanced around and saw that everyone nodded in agreement, so she wrote the four words at the top, then took out five blank jade slips, engraved the words into them, and each person got one.
