Li Yan also has some speculations about this result. Monks often practice in the opposite way to Taoists.
The techniques practiced by Taoists are extensive and cover the principles of heaven and earth, as if they know everything. Not only do they understand alchemy and refining, they also wield a wide variety of magic weapons.
Monks are somewhat similar to sword cultivators. They usually only practice their own innate magic weapons and look down on other magic weapons.
This results in the attack methods of sword cultivators and monks being often very simple, but extremely powerful, and basically killing with one move.
Li Yan then turned his gaze to the jade slips. He quickly moved the jade slips away from his forehead. There was no joy or sadness on his face, and it was impossible to tell what he was thinking.
About a hundred breaths later, Li Yan's expressionless face changed. At this moment, a set of skills was engraved on the jade slip in his hand, which was called "Secret Vajra Zhenyue".
When this technique is practiced to the most advanced level, the eighteen Buddhist beads can be transformed into eighteen Vajrapani Bodhisattvas, and each Vajrapani Bodhisattva can calm the heaven and earth.
Once all eighteen Vajrapani Bodhisattvas are refined, they can form a complete formation of the "Vajra Zhenyue Formation". Even the real Vajra Immortal may be suppressed by this technique.
Seeing this, Li Yan couldn't help but gasp.
“I remember that Master Dajing only used one Bodhisattva, and my speed was immediately suppressed by about 30%.
If he had not made some progress in practicing 'The Five Lands Return to Hongmeng' in the past nine years, he would have been suppressed and had difficulty in taking a single step.
If there were one or two more Vajrapani Bodhisattvas, I might not be able to gain an advantage even if I used all my tricks this time…”
Li Yan had a deep memory of this, and then he thought of another thing.
"Could it be that Master Dajing has only cultivated one Vajrapani Bodhisattva?"
Li Yan was confused. He remembered that when Zen Master Dajing started fighting with Li Yuyin, he only used one Vajra Bodhisattva statue. Until the two of them joined forces, he did not use the second statue.
After Li Yan finished reading the entire "Secret Vajra Zhenyue" technique, he gradually gained a general understanding of this technique.
The "Miji Vajra Zhenyue" technique was created by "Mingtuo Venerable", the founder of "Mingtuo Temple" 30,000 years ago.
However, although he created this technique, even before he ascended to heaven, he had only cultivated four images of Vajrapani Bodhisattva.
The origin of this technique was a magical technique accidentally obtained by "Venerable Mingtuo", named "The Art of Subduing Dragons with the Golden Pearl". It is not a Buddhist technique, but a technique of offering sacrifices and refining golden gems.
When "Venerable Mingtuo" obtained this technique, he saw that it was used to cultivate pearl-type magic weapons. In addition, he happened to be majoring in gold-based techniques, which triggered his idea.
After that, he had the idea of applying this technique to Buddhist beads. It can be said that this man was also a remarkable monk. In the end, he not only successfully practiced the "Golden Bead Dragon Subduing Technique".
Moreover, hundreds of years later, it was actually integrated into the Buddhist practice of Vajrapani Bodhisattva, and eventually formed the Buddhist practice "Miji Vajra Zhenyue".
Even if one of the Buddhist beads in "Miji Vajra Zhenyue" is sacrificed, its power will be more than times greater than before.
After another thousand years of improvement, it finally formed the present-day "Mingtuo Temple", a sacred art to protect the temple.
Although this technique is extremely powerful, it also has very high requirements. In addition to being proficient in Buddhism, practicing this technique also requires specific spiritual root attributes, and the minimum qualification must be an earth spiritual root with a main gold spiritual root.
Therefore, the heads and elders of Mingtuo Temple in all generations are people with earth spiritual roots of gold attribute.
“According to the final introduction of this technique, the best candidate for this technique is a person with a gold-type holy spirit root, who can fully cultivate eighteen Vajrapani Bodhisattvas.
Even though the founder of the sect, 'Venerable Mingtuo', was a natural spiritual root, he ultimately only cultivated four Vajrapani Bodhisattvas and was unable to form a complete 'Vajra Prison Formation'.
This means that whether one can eventually cultivate the eighteen Vajrapani Bodhisattvas described in the exercises is actually just a wishful thinking.
Zen Master Dajing was in the early stage of Nascent Soul, and might have only cultivated one or two Vajrapani Bodhisattvas. Since he had to sacrifice multiple Vajrapani Bodhisattvas at the same time, a large amount of golden spiritual power was needed to maintain them.
He has three earth spiritual roots, so every time he sacrifices an additional statue of Vajrapani Bodhisattva, he will need to consume more mana.
In this way, only 50% to 60% of the 100% mana can be actually used, and the rest of the miscellaneous mana will be wasted.
In a real fight, he would definitely reserve some strength for emergency situations. Therefore, he only used one to fight us.
It was only in the end that in order to kill me quickly, he switched to telekinesis, which he felt was safer... "
Li Yan looked at the introduction of the technique, thoughts racing through his mind, and pondered over the questions in his mind one by one, while at the same time looking for a description of the use of mental power in driving the Buddhist beads.
However, even though Li Yan read the entire set of exercises in the end, he did not find any method to drive the power of thought.
"There is no such thing as telekinesis in this 'Secret Trace Vajra Zhenyue'. Could it be that this Zen Master Dajing cultivated it himself later?"
Li Yan couldn't find a way to drive his mind power, so he certainly wouldn't practice it, as it required bearing the cause and effect of burning incense in order to practice it.
He is not a monk, so he just wants to use the mental power left in these Buddhist beads. Even if it is only used once, it can play a crucial role at the critical moment.
Afterwards, he read the remaining jade slips one by one. What made him depressed was that not only did he not find a method to cultivate his mind power, but the other three magical powers he saw were all great magical powers of Buddhism.
To cultivate these supernatural powers, all of them must be based on profound Buddhist teachings. It can be said that Li Yan only has a vague understanding of them, let alone practicing them.
"It's impossible for me to really practice Buddhism just to cultivate these magical powers!"
Li Yan complained in his heart.
There was nothing else on the remaining jade slips that interested Li Yan. They were basically various Buddhist scriptures and texts, which Li Yan just glanced over.
After putting down these jade slips, Li Yan fell into silence.
It was not until a cup of tea later that Li Yan finally gritted his teeth and decided that he should take some time to read these Buddhist scriptures in the future, even if he only had a rough understanding of them.
The cultivation of those three purely Buddhist magical powers requires proficiency in Buddhism, which Li Yan cannot do. However, one can practice the "Miji Vajra Zhenyue" as long as one understands some basic Buddhist knowledge.
Li Yan possesses the great skill of "Five Elements Returning to Hongmeng". Once the five elements are united, the power of this magical power will be doubled. Li Yan thinks it is worthwhile to spend some time reading Buddhist scriptures.
After he finished reading all the jade slips one by one, he fixed his eyes on a emerald green jade box.
This jade box was placed together with those jade bottles of elixir, but its shape was square, and there was a talisman seal on the lid, which made it look a little special.
"I added another seal to my storage. This item is very important to Zen Master Dajing."
Li Yan was thinking about it, and while communicating with his spiritual consciousness, he took out the emerald green jade box from his patched bag.
As soon as he got the jade box, a cool and refreshing feeling came from Li Yan's palm. He did not open the jade box immediately, but looked at it carefully with his spiritual sense.
After half a cup of tea, Li Yan found no other restrictions except the seal of Fu Lu on the jade box. But he did not let his guard down, but became more cautious. Usually, this kind of treasure may have two restrictions, one bright and one dark.
Just because he didn't discover it doesn't mean it doesn't exist.
After thinking for a while, Li Yan gently pushed his palm and pushed the green jade box forward ten feet away, and it floated quietly in the air.
Immediately, Li Yan's spiritual consciousness turned into a spiritual consciousness thorn, which pierced the talisman on the emerald jade box as fast as lightning.
With a soft "hiss" sound, a golden smoke rose from the edge of the emerald jade box.
Then, a golden hand suddenly stretched out from the golden smoke, bent its fingers into claws, and grabbed Li Yan as fast as lightning.
Li Yan's expression remained unchanged. He suddenly raised his hand and punched out.
"boom!"
As the fists and claws collided, Li Yan's body, which was sitting cross-legged, couldn't help but shake a few times, and the giant golden palm in front of him exploded with a light bang.
"What a strong restriction!"
Li Yan felt the power coming from his fist. The force of this palm strike just now was as strong as a blow from the early Nascent Soul stage. Even his body was shaken by the recoil.
Of course, this was also the result of Li Yan not using his full strength. If this item was obtained by an ordinary cultivator, he would be smashed into pieces with just one palm, and the power of Fu Lu would still be preserved.
However, although Li Yan's punch just now seemed ordinary, it contained 70% of his strength, and the talisman was shattered with just one hit.
As the golden palm disappeared, the lid of the emerald jade box made a crisp "click" sound and automatically bounced up.
The moment the lid of the box popped open, the entire training room in front of Li Yan instantly became a place with steam rising and fog filling the air.
At this time, Li Yan also saw the things in the box. His heart suddenly jumped and he cried out inwardly, "Not good!" He immediately waved his hands quickly in the air, and a spiritual light shield several inches thick appeared immediately.
The light shield flashed and enveloped the entire training room.
Just when Li Yan had done all this, a few strands of extremely pure spiritual energy burst out from the box, like the rising sun, gushing out from the sea of clouds.
The purity of these spiritual energies seemed familiar to Li Yan, but even the stone chamber in the secret realm did not have such pure spiritual energy.
Although only a few strands of spiritual energy were emitted from the box, each strand carried a tremendous pressure, squeezing the space around Li Yan and causing a series of "cracking" sounds, as if it were real.
If Li Yan had not reacted quickly and immediately used his powerful magic power to protect this place, his training room, even with the protection of a forbidden formation, would have burst in an instant and turned into nothingness.
If such a huge pressure was placed on Li Yan before he formed his infant, even if he had practiced extraordinary body refining techniques, he would not be able to withstand it for a moment.
At this moment, Li Yan's eyes also burst out with dazzling light, and he was staring at the jade box through the misty water fog in the room.
Inside the emerald green jade box that popped open, there was a dark blue crystal the size of an egg!
The blue air currents are constantly flowing back and forth on the surface, making the entire deep blue crystal more gorgeous and dreamy.
Visible wisps of spiritual energy danced and circled around the dark blue crystal, like the most lively spirit in the world...
"The ultimate water-type spirit stone!"
Li Yan muttered to himself. This was the second time he saw a top-grade spirit stone, but it was the first time he had ever come into contact with it at such a close distance.
The last time, it was Master Qianzhong who took and put away a top-grade spirit stone with fire attribute and let them feel it briefly.
In just that lightning-fast moment, and with most of the pressure deliberately covered by Master Qianzhong, Li Yan and Zhao Min's blood seemed to be burned dry in an instant.
Li Yan still remembers that horrible temperature vividly.
Li Yan stretched out his hand, and the deep blue dreamy top-grade spirit stone flew into his palm. Waves of power like huge waves continued to spread from the surface of the spirit stone.
The dark magic power in Li Yan's palm continued to surge, firmly controlling it in his palm.
Feeling the pure and refined spiritual energy without a trace of impurities coming from the spirit stone, even without deliberately absorbing it, the magic power in Li Yan's body would involuntarily surge along with it.
“This is the purest spiritual energy in the world. Even I today cannot sense any impurities in it.
Compared to the spiritual energy in those low-level spiritual stones, it's as if one is a ten-thousand-year spiritual value, and the other is just a weed..."
Li Yan's eyes flashed with a strange light. He slowly turned this top-grade spirit stone in his palm, carefully looking at every crystal spirit thread on it.
His main spiritual root is water-attributed, so he is most sensitive to water-attributed spiritual objects.
After a long time, Li Yan let out a long sigh, and he also thought of something.
"If this is a golden-attributed top-grade spiritual stone that is just right for Zen Master Dajing, instead of a water-attributed one, then once he uses this object to perform the 'Secret Trace Vajra Mountain-Suppressing'.
Under the influence of such pure golden spiritual power, Li Yuyin and I could be suppressed and unable to move at all in an instant, and we could even die..."
Li Yan felt a little awe-inspiring. It seemed that his ability to deal with Zen Master Dajing this time had a lot of luck involved.
Although he felt that his fighting power was enough to fight against those in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul Realm, those veteran Nascent Soul cultivators, even if they were still in the early stage of the Nascent Soul Realm, who had survived to this day, all had extraordinary means and profound background.
After another half an incense stick had passed, Li Yan reluctantly put the top-grade spirit stone back into the emerald jade box, and then with a wave of his hand, he put it into the "earth spot".
At this point, Li Yan had already looked through Master Dajing's golden patchwork bag.
The remaining space was filled with spiritual plants piled up like small hills, as well as monster bones, furs, and various metal and stone materials.
Li Yan knew quite a few of those spiritual plants. In Li Yan's opinion, about 70% of them had grown for about a hundred years.
The remaining 30% are more than 500 years old, and there are even four herbs that should be the main materials for refining Nascent Soul stage pills. Li Yan judged that they are at least a thousand years old.
Most of the remaining monster bones, teeth, and fur materials were third-level, but a broken tailbone of an unknown monster caught Li Yan's attention.
The coccyx is grayish white in color, about six feet long, and looks quite heavy.
After Li Yan picked it up, although he had expected it, he still sank his palm down hard.
"Um?"
Li Yan's face changed slightly, and his arms instantly became several times thicker, and he was able to barely hold up the object. This unknown coccyx was unexpectedly heavy.
