Chapter 3 The Beads' Strange Changes and the Horrifying Night

Late at night, Wu Yi finally finished reading the book about the rules of the temple. He yawned, extinguished the candle, and went to sleep on the stone bed.

Perhaps he was too tired today, Wu Yi fell asleep as soon as he got on the bed, but what Wu Yi didn't know was that in the past, as long as the candle was extinguished, the beads would dim, but today, after the candle was extinguished, the beads still flickered with a dim and weird light.

Perhaps the light was too dim, or perhaps it was blocked by the moonlight shining in from the stone gate. In short, Wu Yi didn't notice the change of the beads at the first time.

The change of the beads continued, and the light gradually became brighter, illuminating the cave as bright as day, which was much better than the night-shining pearl. I don't know what Wu Yi thought when he saw this scene, but the divine object was self-obscuring, and ordinary people couldn't see it at a glance.

The light of the bead gradually converged, but it was still dazzling, and the light was no longer a simple light. It twisted and turned, like countless small insects crawling, forming a picture, and it was still moving, as if time was going backwards, showing what happened in the past.

First, there was the scene of Wu Yi placing the bead on the candlelight, and then the bead moved along the way, including the scene where Wu Yi discovered that it could absorb flames and emit light, and then returned to the scene where it fell into Dangmang Lake. The light curtain flowed, and it was magical.

The light curtain continued to evolve, and the bead turned into an extremely large fireball and flew into the sky, but at this time a mysterious force blocked it, and the light curtain shook for a while, but soon returned to normal and continued to evolve.

Yulong Mountain Range, the Yiqimen Mountain Gate is here. There is a palace surrounded by layers of clouds just above the mountain gate, called Tianji Palace. The big bell in the palace suddenly rang without wind. A man in black robe sitting in front of the bell slowly opened his eyes. His eyes were like the abyss, making people sink into it involuntarily. His eyes were as calm as a well, so that no one could tell what he was thinking.

He gently tapped the big bell with his hand, and the bell rang up and down. The sound waves merged into a picture, a scene of a big fireball trying to break through the barrier but being blocked but finally breaking through. This picture was very familiar to the man in black robe, because he encountered the same situation three years ago, but the last time the fireball wanted to enter from the outside, and this time the fireball was from the inside out.

The man in black robe counted with his fingers, but got nothing, and felt uneasy. He calculated a great horror, and he was so shocked that he hurriedly stopped calculating.

The black-robed man sighed, "This matter is not something I can intervene in after all."

The black-robed man immediately set up the altar, burned incense and prayed. After another person's face appeared on the altar, he briefly summarized the matter.

After a while, the face on the altar gradually disappeared.

"I broke through the barrier of the sky twice in a row. I didn't expect that this lower world is so dangerous. I don't know if it is someone from another world or a demon from outside the domain. I don't know when the immortal will come." The black-robed man secretly calculated in his heart.

In addition, when the bead evolved into a big fireball flying in the sky, the scene was blurred and intermittent. At the same time, a powerful and inexplicable force enveloped Wu Yi's cave, as if to wipe out the bead and all the people and things related to the bead.

As a person who accompanies the bead day and night, Wu Yi felt this power at the first time. He was frightened and sweated, and immediately woke up from a deep sleep.

After waking up, he immediately noticed the change of the bead. He didn't have time to think about the reason for the change of the bead. The terrifying power enveloped him again, frightening him so much that his hair stood up. He quickly jumped to the side of the bead. He couldn't explain why he did this. It seemed like an inexplicable call.

But Wu Yi's action unconsciously strengthened his connection with the bead. The power acting on him suddenly increased, but because most of it was shared by the bead, the pressure became much smaller.

It was not until then that Wu Yi had time to look around and think about what happened.

Wu Yi calmed down and returned to his original calm appearance. His eyes flashed with wisdom. There was no doubt that all these weird things were caused by this bead. The key now was how to force back the mysterious power. It was just that the mysterious power came from nowhere and he didn't know how to use it.

At this time, the light curtain above the bead became more chaotic and scattered, probably because it had evolved to an important place. The bead also began to rotate, but every time the bead rotated, there were more cracks on the surface of the bead. Later, the bead was covered with cracks, as if it would break apart at the touch, which was shocking.

Even the bead was like this, Wu Yi felt great pressure and had difficulty breathing, just like a drowning person.

For the first time in his life, he felt despair. His wisdom, strength, and power were all useless. What made him feel even more like falling into an ice cellar was that the light curtain of the bead's evolution gradually dimmed, but as if it was a last ray of light, the light curtain became much clearer, and Wu Yi saw the next scene.

In a vast expanse of heaven and earth, two people stood in the void, their faces were hazy and unclear. One was wearing a black robe with red fire patterns on it, and the other was wearing a colorful Taoist robe. Behind him, colorful light was overwhelming and rolling towards the other person. The light was clearly filled with endless poisonous creatures, all five poisons, and countless strange beasts and poisonous insects. Even looking at the light curtain, Wu Yi's hair stood up and his heart was trembling.

He couldn't see the other person's facial expression, but since he could stand with the person wearing a colorful Taoist robe, he was probably not much different. He should make a move next.

But at this moment, a crisp cracking sound came, Wu Yi secretly said that it was not good, and hurriedly looked at the bead. The bead had a big crack in the middle, which was extremely hideous.

The speed of the bead's rotation also slowed down, and the light curtain was almost frozen there, which made Wu Yi exclaimed a pity.

It seemed that he understood his fate, or perhaps a trace of spiritual wisdom was born. Wu Yi got a faint idea, which actually asked him to light the lamp.

At this time, Wu Yi was already sweating profusely, and his whole body looked like he had just been pulled out of the water. However, since the bead slowed down its rotation speed, the pressure on him by that force was also reduced a lot. He took this opportunity to quickly step forward, took out the fire starter, and a flame ignited. The flame was weak and small, but strong and inextinguishable, just like Wu Yi's mood at this time.

Burned by the flames, the cracks on the surface of the beads gradually merged. Unfortunately, the light curtain above the beads was dim and invisible. I don’t know if it disappeared or was invisible. The beads became ordinary again. The mysterious power was gone, as if it had never appeared.

But after what happened tonight, Wu Yi pinched his face. It was not a dream. How could he dare to pretend that it had not happened? He was used to controlling everything and making plans before taking action. He could not tolerate this. Today really scared him.

Wu Yi suppressed his fear and carefully examined the beads. The dark red surface was the same as before, and the touch was warm. It was the same as before, and it emitted light. Oh my God, it was still the same as before. Wu Yi was crazy.

Half an hour later, Wu Yi returned to bed helplessly, but he suddenly woke up every once in a while and looked at the beads on the stone table. Forget about sleeping all night. The quality of sleep was extremely poor.

Fortunately, there was no need to go to early class tomorrow. Wu Yi comforted himself before falling asleep for the last time.

On the second day, when the middle-aged man delivering food outside the door called him three times, Wu Yi opened the door sleepily and took the lunch box slowly.

Wu Yi looked like he was lacking energy. The middle-aged man had seen many such people, especially those who were not well-off and lacked elixirs and medicines. They had to practice at night, but this was the result of consuming too much energy. The middle-aged man gave him a careful warning and went down the mountain.

Back in the cave, Wu Yi stared at the beads on the stone table with dull eyes. He didn't even want to eat because the candlelight was not extinguished and the beads were still shining. However, it was not as obvious as at night because it was already bright.

Wu Yi didn't know how to treat the beads and wanted to throw them away, but Wu Yi seemed to have established an inexplicable connection with the beads. He was reluctant to do so. It would be a trouble if he didn't throw them away.

After thinking for a long time without any results, Wu Yi simply put it aside and ignored it for the time being. He let the candlelight burn and let the beads shine. He took out the book he got yesterday and flipped through it.

For example, the book "Small Zhoutian Moving Technique" from yesterday has a chapter of "Calming Jue" at the beginning, which allows disciples to have no distracting thoughts when meditating and breathing, so as to prevent mistakes in qi circulation and disorder of meridians.

At this time, Wu Yi used it. After reciting the Qingxin Jue several times, Wu Yi's excited mood gradually calmed down.

Wu Yi then turned to the back. This book is not entirely the original text. There are also some later gains from cultivation, which are also copied on it. The annotations are even longer than the original text.

From it, Wu Yi learned that at the beginning of cultivation, it is necessary to generate a sense of qi, also known as the seed of true qi. The Qi Sect calls it the innate Qi, and believes that this qi is the original qi that has never disappeared. And it gives many methods on how to strengthen this qi at the beginning.

After generating the sense of qi, in the first stage of Qi Refining, basically you just need to accumulate it continuously. It was mentioned before that other sects use the degree of accumulation as the only realm division, but in terms of accumulation alone, the Qi Sect is further divided into three changes, namely gathering qi, receiving qi, and condensing qi.

Gathering Qi is to gather the spiritual energy of heaven and earth on the surface of the body, while absorbing Qi is to absorb the spiritual energy into the body. However, the spiritual energy is still scattered at this time, and it needs to be condensed in the Dantian Qi Sea to make it dependent on the innate Qi. In this way, the cultivator only needs to mobilize the innate Qi to command the spiritual energy, which is regarded as borrowing the power of heaven and earth to add to himself. The gathering, absorbing and condensing of Qi are originally one, but any problem in the middle will affect the speed of cultivation, so they are separated.

It is not difficult to find that the division of Qi Refining Realm according to the Yiqi Gate is divided according to the cultivation steps. Although the realm can be divided according to the original spiritual energy saturation, it is ultimately a different school.

With continuous cultivation, the more spiritual energy is controlled, the greater the ability of the cultivator. In fact, the cultivator grows up with the continuous borrowing and even plundering of the power of heaven and earth. When he is fully accomplished, he can even change the world and create the world, which can be called boundless magic power.

Apart from silently reciting the Jingxin Jue several times, Wu Yi did not start practicing rashly. Yiqi Daoguan has a lesson every five days and an exam every three months. Since Wu Yi did not become a disciple through normal channels, other disciples of this session have already started practicing in March. Now it is the end of July, and there is still one month before the exam.

The first change of Qi training is to generate Qi. If you fail the first exam, you will be taught. If you fail the second exam, your salary will be reduced by half. If you fail the third exam, your birth certificate will be abolished and your disciple certificate will be taken back. In other words, disciples who do not have a sense of Qi after nine months of practice will be expelled. In fact, most people have already generated a sense of Qi before the second exam, otherwise they will be laughed at even if they have a sense of Qi.

Wu Yi, a disciple who came in through the back door, is just as Wang Chuchen said to Wu Yi that day. If he cannot prove his own qualifications, he will go back to where he came from as soon as possible. If he cannot show his talents in the next exam, he will be laughed at even if he generates a sense of Qi before the second exam.

Then Wu Yi only had one month left, but it was not easy to generate the Qi. It was normal for ordinary people to not know the door for ten days or half a month.

Wu Yi did not practice. First of all, he had to be calm and peaceful when generating the Qi. He must not have any distracting thoughts. If he pursued speed blindly at the beginning, it would be useless and slow down his pace. Secondly, a series of preparations were needed at the beginning of practice, such as burning incense, bathing, chanting scriptures and praying. It was not just a simple recitation of a few sentences of meditation.

And these things will be delivered in the next two days, so Wu Yi did not plan to practice now. He spread out a piece of white paper, picked up a pen and dipped it in ink. He first copied the "Small Zhoutian Moving Technique", then closed the book, wrote a copy silently, compared the two, and looked for the wrong copying and missing parts. Once the mistakes were found, they would be corrected. After the corrections were completed, he wrote it silently again and looked for the mistakes again.

This was repeated again and again. Wu Yi had memorized the book by heart and could recite it backwards.
