Although Gong Chenying didn't understand what Li Yan meant, she still used her spiritual sense to detect her dantian as he said. This detection made her a little stunned.
Gong Chenying was shocked to find that her magic power had improved again, and she had a feeling that she seemed to have some inexplicable feeling about the power of fire.
In recent years, she has been practicing the "Red Lotus Burning Fire Sutra" in the hope of welcoming the Nascent Soul Tribulation while constantly improving her perception, but she has only improved her magic power, and has yet to gain further insight into the power of fire.
In fact, she also realized in her dream that there was something abnormal with her magic power, but after the impact of the peaks and valleys last night, Gong Chenying could no longer tell what was wrong, and she was in a dreamlike state.
“This is… What’s going on?”
After Gong Chenying withdrew his spiritual sense, he looked at Li Yan in a daze. For a moment, there was a light flickering in Li Yan's eyes. He could see that Gong Chenying was really confused.
Gradually, Li Yan noticed that Gong Chenying's expression had changed. A blush slowly appeared on her face again, and when she looked at him, her eyes became a little embarrassed and annoyed.
"What's wrong?"
Li Yan couldn't help but ask.
"You... you practiced the art of dual cultivation?"
Gong Chenying said with a blushing face.
The art of dual cultivation is to absorb Yin and gather Yang, or to absorb Yang and replenish Yin, which can greatly increase one's own power, but some particularly advanced dual cultivation techniques can also nourish one's Taoist partner at the same time.
Those who practiced the art of dual cultivation were usually some evil people, or people from dual cultivation sects would practice this kind of technique. Gong Chenying immediately thought of this possibility when he suddenly experienced such a change overnight.
Could it be that Li Yan did this on purpose, regardless of the leakage of his yang energy, and looked so mysterious, making her feel embarrassed
But… But if that was the case, where did he get this somewhat… somewhat obscene technique? Thinking of what he had done with Li Yan last night, Gong Chenying felt a surge of heat all over his body, and his body actually softened again.
"I... When did I practice that kind of technique?"
When Li Yan heard this, he immediately refuted. He didn't want to be labeled as such.
Seeing Li Yan's genuine expression, Gong Chenying's face remained flushed, and her racing heart finally calmed down a little.
"But...but...but you...I..."
She couldn't say any more. Why did her magic power increase after one night? And she had an indescribable feeling about her realm. Li Yan spoke with a flash in his eyes.
"Actually, I feel the same way..."
Half an incense stick later, Li Yan and Gong Chenying sat opposite each other. As cultivators, they focused their attention on investigating the abnormality in their bodies.
After some discussion, Gong Chenying gradually recovered from her shyness. Both of them were now powerful cultivators, and after some communication, they gradually came to a certain conclusion.
“I have five elements of mixed spiritual roots, and the abnormality of my Nascent Soul is exactly the same as the abnormality of my senior sister’s three elements of earth, fire, and wood spiritual roots.
Apart from other reasons, you said that Hongyin once told you that you have what the ancients called the 'Three Talents Spiritual Roots', which is related to the rules of heaven, earth and man...
However, Hong Yin did not know the specific functions of the Three Talents Spiritual Roots. He only knew that this spiritual root had special properties, but there were no detailed records of the relevant properties, so he could not further determine the reasons.
However, this kind of spiritual root, which has no distinction between primary and secondary, forms the most stable triangle, which will make your three types of spiritual power have no difference in strength when used.
But my spiritual root attribute is the five elements spiritual root, three talents... five elements, could it be related to this?"
After the two calmed down, they quickly turned their attention to the three mutated attributes, especially Gong Chenying, who also remembered something Hong Yin had said and told Li Yan about it.
Li Yan analyzed quickly in his mind, matching what Gong Chenying said with the situation in his body one by one, and slowly came up with some guesses.
“The universe was originally in chaos, and then it was divided into Yin and Yang, the Three Talents, the Four Symbols, the Five Elements, the Six Combinations, the Seven Stars, the Eight Trigrams, and the Nine Palaces, which formed the most mysterious rules of the universe.
The techniques we practice are often one or more branches of these techniques. Both repulsion and fusion may occur, but unfortunately my cultivation level is too low and I cannot understand these.
Therefore, regarding the three spiritual roots mentioned by the master, I did not feel any other special features... "
After thinking about what Li Yan said, Gong Chenying also gave his own guesses and opinions.
Suddenly, a strange light flashed in Li Yan's eyes, and then he looked at Gong Chenying.
"That is to say, we don't need to practice the dual cultivation technique to improve our cultivation. We will know if we try it again..."
When Gong Chenying heard this, the blush that had just disappeared suddenly rose up from her neck again.
"you… "
Li Yan laughed loudly and picked up Gong Chenying. Even with Li Yan's body shape, the two round long legs still dragged on the ground.
"No... No, it's still daytime... Wuwu..."
Before Gong Chenying could finish her words, a tongue of fire pierced her red lips. She could only make a humming sound. Then, her eyes slowly lost focus and she fell into confusion.
The tongue that was a little clumsy last night has become agile and responds well.
In fact, her body was still in some pain and discomfort, but Gong Chenying was stubborn and unwilling to say it out loud, so an hour later, she became the superior...
Five days later, Li Yan and Gong Chenying simultaneously announced that they were going into seclusion, which made many people feel a little strange about this newlywed couple.
After having sex for the second time, Li Yan and Gong Chenying checked their bodies immediately and felt that their guess might have been a little biased. The theory of the Three Talents and Five Elements did not bring them any new strange changes.
As Gong Chenying's face turned red as a peach, the two discussed it and felt that it might have been the first time, and because Gong Chenying was still a virgin at that time, some strange effects appeared.
Otherwise, it would be impossible to explain why both parties had different feelings about the three types of power after the first time, and why such a thing never happened again during subsequent sexual intercourse.
In the following days, Li Yan and Gong Chenying were so immersed in the joy of newlywed life that they put the matter aside.
But five days later, Li Yan was the first to discover that his inexplicable feeling of the three-series power was gradually fading away. After asking Gong Chen, he got the same answer.
The two of them immediately realized that they might have missed an opportunity. That kind of unclear feeling would disappear and would not be retained for a long time.
Therefore, they immediately chose to practice in seclusion at the same time, in order to capture and comprehend the hard-earned inexplicable feeling.
Gong Shanhe and the others all felt that the two's sudden decision was a bit unexpected.
However, cultivators are always sensing destiny, so it is hard to tell when they will choose to retreat, so there is nothing to be surprised about. However, no one expected that the two would retreat for years and years, and their figures would never appear in front of the Tianli tribe again.
As the two of them fell silent, the "King Qing'a" mansion gradually mentioned less and less about Li Yan and Gong Chenying in the after-dinner conversations of the clan members.
Seven years later, in a secret room inside the mountain that rose into the sky in the backyard of Prince Qing'a's mansion, strong fluctuations of magical power suddenly came from there.
Then, a unique phenomenon occurred between heaven and earth. Dark clouds rolled in the sky, and in an instant, lightning and thunder appeared, instantly covering an area of hundreds of miles around the Tianli tribe.
The fourth elder who was on duty in the Tianli Palace couldn't help but exclaimed when he just took a quick glance with his spiritual sense.
"The infant-forming tribulation!"
After he scanned with his spiritual sense, he suddenly discovered that the center of the heavenly calamity was exactly the mountain behind the "King Qing'a" palace, and a graceful figure had flown to the top of the mountain.
"It's A Ying!"
He instantly knew who was forming a fetus, and without any hesitation, he quickly sent out a series of messages to inform everyone who was in retreat.
Finally, everyone came out of seclusion, including the Great Elder. Although the Great Elder's injuries had not been healed over the years, they had recovered almost completely and he could use 80% of his combat power without any problem.
Gong Shanhe even rushed directly into the sky, his face showing a mixture of surprise and joy...
One day later, Gong Chenying of the Tianli tribe successfully formed a baby. With the help of the feeling of uncertainty during her honeymoon, she finally broke through her state of mind and faced the tribulation of forming a baby. After a hard fight, she finally passed the tribulation successfully despite being covered in scars.
Fortunately, when she and Li Yan were in seclusion, they considered that they might be affected by each other and chose to separate, and she also chose to survive the tribulation on the top of the mountain. Otherwise, it would definitely affect Li Yan's seclusion.
After successfully forming a baby, Gong Chenying simply showed up and first confirmed that the place where Li Yan was in seclusion was not affected, and then he felt relieved.
Afterwards, he met with Gong Shanhe and the Great Elder and had a brief conversation with them. Then he hurriedly went into seclusion again and began to consolidate his state of mind.
This made Gong Shanhe and the Third Elder feel pleasantly surprised, but they also sighed. After reaching the Nascent Soul Stage, their cultivation and advancement had become extremely difficult.
Even though they have been practicing hard for decades or even hundreds of years, they are still stuck in a small realm and cannot move forward. This makes them think about themselves and they don’t know when they can break through again...
Four years later, when Gong Chenying came out of seclusion again, her realm had been stabilized, and after being tested personally by Gong Shanhe, her combat power was already able to compete with a mid-Nascent Soul cultivator.
At this time, Gong Chenying's fighting power was even stronger than the fifth and sixth elders. This should be related to the "Red Lotus Burning Fire Sutra" of "Hongfu Temple" that she learned.
After combining this technique with the "Qiongqi Purgatory Technique", Gong Chenying finally showed his true strength. After practicing these two top-level techniques, the powerful side of his dual cultivation of magic and body was finally revealed.
Gong Chenying's "Qiongqi Purgatory Technique" also broke through to the early sixth level.
After coming out of retreat, Gong Chenying discovered that besides Li Yan who was still in retreat, his master Hong Yin had also not come out of retreat. Four months after that retreat, Hong Yin had successfully taken over another person's body.
After she succeeded in taking over the body, she came out of seclusion temporarily, but seeing that Gong Chenying had entered seclusion again, she immediately chose to continue her seclusion.
He even only met briefly with the third elder and exchanged a few words with him, and did not meet anyone else.
But later, when the first elder asked about Hong Yin's possession of another's body, the third elder had a strange look on his face and replied that Hong Yin was fine.
But a picture emerged in her mind. Hong Yin's cold voice and appearance really made her feel a little weird...
In a secret room, Li Yan was sitting cross-legged. At this moment, there were silver rays flashing on his body surface and a rumbling sound came from his body. That was the sound of dragons and tigers roaring when the yin and yang of the magic power in his body merged.
Time goes back. During this retreat, he has been trying hard to capture that inexplicable feeling. For a cultivator, time is like a fleeting moment, fleeting.
I don’t know how much time has passed, maybe a year, or maybe several years, Li Yan still cannot accurately capture that indescribable feeling.
However, the wood, earth and fire spiritual powers in the body are still running continuously with the five elements of Guishui Zhenjing. Although these three attributes of spiritual power still remain active, they are slowly tending towards a state of balance among the five elements.
Li Yan, who was practicing, subconsciously sensed the occurrence of this phenomenon, and woke up at that moment.
After he sensed that Gong Chenying's breath was still there and was still in another secret room, he did not investigate carefully and once again probed his spiritual sense into his body.
During the years of seclusion, Li Yan did not gain nothing by trying to capture and comprehend the vague feeling.
He found that his five elements were tending towards balance. His comprehension of water and gold had improved, but not to the point of enlightenment. His comprehension of fire, on the other hand, was mediocre.
After thinking for a while, he flipped his hand and immediately took out an exquisite jade bottle. After opening the jade bottle, a drop of essence and blood was rolling inside the bottom of the bottle.
It was the last drop of "Immortal Phoenix" blood in his hand. Li Yan felt that this was the best time to use this blood, and it might be able to help him.
Afterwards, he closed his eyes again and began to refine this drop of "Immortal Phoenix" blood essence...
As the "rumbling" sound continued to be heard from within the body, the qi and blood flowed through the tendons and veins like thousands of horses galloping, making Li Yan's blood stained with a layer of silver.
What Li Yan didn't expect was that the bones, which were difficult to destroy even with ordinary magic weapons, began to show cracks.
Along with this, the flesh and blood in the body seemed to be cooked and was peeling off from the bones bit by bit.
This was something that had never happened to Li Yan when he refined the first seven drops of blood. Even when he was refining the first drop of essence blood, he did not feel this much pain.
This kind of pain was more cruel than skinning and pulling out cramps. Li Yan's whole body was wet and he kept shaking.
However, this drop of "Immortal Dark Phoenix" blood essence that had just merged into his blood had not yet been completely refined. Li Yan knew that he had to grit his teeth and continue to circulate the Qi in his body.
Otherwise, the tremendous power contained in a drop of unrefined "Immortal Dark Phoenix" blood would be unbearable even for him now.
However, the silver light in his body rushed to the bones the moment the flesh and blood were peeled off from the bones, and then seeped into the bones along the cracks.
As the silver light entered the cracks in the bones, Li Yan's face was distorted and he couldn't help but let out a low roar towards the sky.
"Ah! Could it be that... could it be that there are certain limitations to bearing the blood essence of the 'Immortal... Immortal Phoenix'? With my... my cultivation... I can't even refine... and bear the eighth drop!"
Li Yan, who was in pain, was still trying his best to stay awake.
He once guessed that the Immortal Dark Phoenix, which was condensed into ten pieces of silver paper, might have been at least at the Spiritual Transformation Realm when it fell, and the tremendous power it contained was quite terrifying.
Therefore, after thinking about it, Li Yan could only adopt the method of refining the essence and blood bit by bit. When he was in the foundation-building period, he used the water-polishing method to slowly refine it.
