Chapter 299
It turned out that before Venerable Fiery Dragon went out to sea, he had the intention of letting someone else inherit his orthodoxy. Hence, he left all his cultivation techniques and magic treasures in his cave abode for the fated person to inherit.
Although the jade bamboo slip recorded the mountain range where the cave abode was located, it did not record its exact location. Not to mention the thousands of years of vicissitudes, the mountain range might not even exist. Even if the cave abode was still there, its name would have changed many times. How could Zhang Xiaohua search for it in such a huge mainland with countless of mountain ranges?
This left Zhang Xiaohua with a heart full of regrets. She could only blame Venerable Fiery Dragon for being unscrupulous.
When Venerable Fiery Dragon went out to sea, although he was already in the Foundation Establishment Stage, he could already ride on his sword or use other spells to fly. But at that time, all the spells had been destroyed. How could Venerable Fiery Dragon bear to waste his own vital energy? He could only rely on the boat used by ordinary people. It was unknown whether Venerable Fiery Dragon was lucky or unlucky. Not long after he went out to sea, he met with a huge storm. His boat shook and completely disintegrated, leaving behind only a pile of wood. Venerable Fiery Dragon was glad that he did not bring the other boatmen along. At the same time, he cursed the shopkeeper who sold the boat. He was like Zhang Xiaohua, drifting on the sea for a few days before luckily finding this deserted island. Since then, he had spent the rest of his life on this deserted island.
However, in the jade bamboo slip, Venerable Fiery Dragon mentioned that it was not that he could not return to the mainland. It was just that he had found fire elemental vital energy on this deserted island. It was able to prolong his life and thus, he had been staying on this deserted island.
This sentence made Zhang Xiaohua extremely excited.
"If I can cultivate to Old Fire's level, even if I don't use a boat, I can still return to the mainland. That would be great. Otherwise, I would really lose the motivation to move forward."
There was still a lot of content recorded in the jade bamboo slip. There was some common knowledge of the Immortal Dao, basic spells and so on. However, Zhang Xiaohua only skimmed through it and did not pay much attention to it. What he was concerned about was the content of the other five jade bamboo slips.
Sure enough, he found information about other jade slips in a corner of the jade slip.
"These five jade slips actually recorded the spells that Venerable Fire-dragon comprehended on this deserted island. Doesn't that mean that only those in the Foundation Establishment Stage can use them? Oh, it didn't say. Perhaps those in the Qi Refining Stage can also use them. What I lack now are spells that can be used by those in the Qi Refining Stage. There seems to be some records in these jade slips. Should I cultivate these basic spells first and cultivate the other jade slips after I have the foundation?"
Zhang Xiaohua was a little hesitant, but after thinking about it, she came to a decision.
"Let's take a look at what spells are in the other jade slips first. That way, I can make some arrangements. Wouldn't it be too boring if I kept cultivating a single spell?"
Without a doubt, Venerable Fiery Dragon had set up a restriction in the other five jade bamboo slips. If one wanted to read the incantations in the jade bamboo slips, he would have to cultivate the restriction first.
Zhang Xiaohua searched through the records in the jade bamboo slips. Sure enough, she found the incantation of the basic restriction in one corner.
Zhang Xiaohua was overjoyed. To be honest, she was very curious about the restriction. First, it was the snow that looked like real snow. Then, it was the forbidden area in the Misty School that could devour people. Then, it was the restriction in Xinji Town that looked like white fog. Now, there was a light screen at the entrance of the cave that could withstand her strength of 65,555 pounds. All of these made her very excited. She could not wait to set up such a magical thing immediately.
However, although the incantation recorded in the jade bamboo slips was the basic restriction, it was much more complicated than the incantation of the Earth Escape Technique. It was similar to the complicated incantation recorded in the back of the Alchemy Technique.
However, Zhang Xiaohua could not practice the Alchemy Technique. She could only look at the simple theory. This restriction could be cultivated at any time.
At that moment, Zhang Xiaohua did not delay any further. First, she went outside to look at the sky. After estimating the time, she began to comprehend the restriction incantation in the cave.
For dozens of days, she comprehended the restriction incantation during the day and cultivated the Carefree Heart Sutra at night. After experiencing countless failures, Zhang Xiaohua finally comprehended the most basic restriction incantation. She successfully placed it on a jade bamboo slip that was about to lose its vitality. In her divine sense, the jade bamboo slip was immediately protected. Without the corresponding incantation, she could not enter it at all.
However, when she excitedly tried to use the restriction incantation that she had just learned on the other five jade bamboo slips, she was very upset to find that only one of the small jade bamboo slips was unlocked. The rest of the jade slips did not move at all. When she used her divine sense to enter the jade slips, what appeared in her mind was: Restriction and Formation.
Zhang Xiaohua almost vomited blood and fell to the ground. Elder Huo, you can't play like this. This is a chain of traps. Only by learning this jade slip can she comprehend the other jade slips. You're really good!
At this time, she heard "kacha kacha" sounds of thunder outside. Zhang Xiaohua was overjoyed and said, "Soon, soon.
It's time to go out and stretch my muscles. "
After she finished speaking, she put all the jade slips into her money pouch and walked out with her head held high.
The next day, Zhang Xiaohua tempered his muscles and bones outside before returning to the cave in high spirits. He already had a plan in mind. Since Elder Huo made this arrangement, he naturally had his reasons. She was only a junior cultivator in the Dao of Immortality. There were many things that she had to cross the river by feeling the stones. Now that there was such an arrangement, she could only listen to it. Either way, it was cultivation. What to cultivate first and what to cultivate later was the same.
Zhang Xiaohua first immersed his divine sense into the jade slip that had not been touched by anyone for ten thousand years and roughly looked through it.
"So it turns out that restrictions and formations are the same type of cultivation. If it's used in a small area, it's called a restriction. If it's used in a large area, it's called a formation. If it's used in a large area, it's called a restriction. Hehe, I understand now. Isn't this just a person having two names? When they're young, they can be called nicknames, such as Dumbo or Gousheng. When they grow up, they can be called Han Li or Zhang Xiao Fan.
That's right, why didn't mother give me a nickname? "
"Nickname?
Meng is his nickname, but I don't know what name Jing Xuan Shitai gave him. "
Her thoughts began to break down.
After a while, she was done with her daydreaming. Only then did she seriously look through the jade slip.
This Venerable Fiery Dragon was actually a master of formations. He had a unique way of cultivating formations. Furthermore, after he arrived at the deserted island, in order to withstand the changes in heaven and earth, he was even more obsessed with formations. He had a very thorough understanding of formations. This seemingly small jade slip recorded the essence of his hundred years of cultivation in formations.
Zhang Xiaohua looked at it for a long time and knew that it was not something that could be comprehended in a short period of time. Although he despised the Fire-dragon Immortal for not leaving everything to him, he had left a deep impression on the jade bamboo slip in his hand.
When she saw the last part of the jade slip, Zhang Xiaohua's eyes lit up. There were a few big words written on it: Jade Blood Pill Refinement!
What kind of cultivation technique was this?
After taking a closer look, he realized, "It turns out that the cultivation of this formation has a lot to do with one's divine sense. The stronger one's divine sense is, the faster one can set up the formation. Moreover, the foundation of the formation is the calculation of changes. The stronger one's divine sense is, the faster one can calculate and the easier it is to comprehend."
"The relationship between the Divine Sense and the cultivation of the formation was something that Fire-dragon Immortal had vaguely known long ago. He only understood it when he set up the formation and fought for a slim chance of survival against the Heavens and Earth. Unfortunately, his genuine Qi was limited and he could not comprehend more profound formations. Oh, in order to strengthen his Divine Sense, he actually thought of a method of exchanging genuine Qi for Divine Sense. Is it called Refining Elixir Heart with Jade Blood?"
"However, he actually did not master this cultivation technique. He only tried it in the beginning. When he felt that it was effective, he continued to calculate the later parts. As for whether the later parts of the cultivation technique were effective, even he himself did not know."
Zhang Xiaohua touched her chin and muttered to herself.
She knew the benefits of the divine sense. Not to mention being able to distinguish between magic treasures and jade slips, even being able to see in the dark and see things in other rooms was enough to move her. Furthermore, the area that her divine sense could cover was limited. If she could increase her divine sense and expand the area that it could cover, she knew that there would be endless benefits.
"But, after all, this is just a theory. What if it doesn't work?
But on the other hand, Elder Huo is a big shot in the Foundation Establishment Stage. Although his things are just theories, they are most likely correct. If not, why would he dare to record them down?
Isn't he afraid that others will dig up his remains?
Curse him behind his back? "
Following which, Zhang Xiaohua looked at the densely packed formations and restrictive spells in front of her. She felt a headache coming on. If she did not have the help of her divine sense, when would she be able to comprehend all of them?
Actually, Zhang Xiaohua was also belittling herself. Her divine sense had appeared early. Moreover, for some reasons that she did not know, the growth of her divine sense was extremely fast. Otherwise, she would not have been able to grasp the basics of restrictive spells in just a few dozen days.
Elder Huo's cultivation technique was an unimaginable method. It was to use all of the True Qi in her body in exchange for a slight increase in her divine sense. This method was not allowed in Elder Huo's era, nor was there any True Qi for him to use to increase his divine sense. Even during the heyday of the Immortal Dao, there might not be anyone who was willing to cultivate it.
All of the True Qi had to be used up and replenished. The consumption of Origin Stones or pills was not a small number. Especially when one's cultivation was higher, the more they would need. However, these were only used in exchange for a slight increase in their divine sense. How could anyone be willing to cultivate this kind of cultivation technique that was not proportional to the output?
However, on this deserted island, there just happened to be such a person who met the requirements!
First of all, Zhang Xiaohua's cultivation was very low, only at the fifth layer of Qi Refining. She did not have much True Qi in her body. Secondly, Zhang Xiaohua had the Crouching Ox Rock, which contained a huge amount of Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth. A small Origin Stone from there was enough for her to cultivate for a very long time. She did not have to worry about not having enough True Qi.
It could be said that this Jade Blood Pill-Refining Technique was simply tailor-made for her.
PS: Last night, I saw someone urging me to update 7 times. Thank you for your encouragement. I wrote a bit of the outline and reached a bottleneck.
After the festival, I will probably return to 7 times a day.
I didn't write "Metal" of the five elements in the last chapter. It's not that I ignored it. Hehe, I did it on purpose. Butterfly is amazing, so attentive. I have to praise you in my heart.
If you think about it carefully, you might know where this Origin Qi is.

Please add, please tip, thank you.)
