After confirming that the mother who appeared suddenly in his original body would not cause him any trouble, Xiao Yun forgot about her and continued to concentrate on completing his last task.
Because all kinds of clues are really complicated, Xiao Yun waited intermittently until three years later before he really sorted out the correct way to retrieve the spirit root.
Zhenjun Guxiao asked several old friends for advice on this method, and all of them got affirmative answers. As for the next step, it is preparation and implementation.
Compared with Moxiu who forcefully poached the spiritual root from the dantian by damaging the spiritual root, Daoxiu's way of getting back the spiritual root was much softer. This method is not so much "retrieval", but rather "leading back". It is necessary to obey the "will" of the spirit root itself as much as possible to prevent unnecessary damage to the spirit root.
Because the method is soft, the method is much more complicated. Not only does it need to cooperate with a specific magic circle, but it also needs to be guided by a cultivator who also has the spiritual root of the lightning element and has a higher cultivation level.
Luwu Zhenjun from Yuxiao Peak next door is a formation master. She was invited by Guxiao Zhenjun to Yujian Peak to arrange the formation in person. As for the guide of Lei Linggen, Daojun An Yan, the eldest disciple of Zhenjun Guxiao, will act as the guide.
Daojun An Yan is the first apprentice of Zhenjun Guxiao, and now he is a high-level cultivation base of Yuanying. He grew up with Zhenjun Guxiao since he was a child, and accepted his precepts and deeds, but he did not learn the calmness and indifference of Zhenjun Guxiao. Instead, he had a very violent temper-this was probably influenced by the dual spirit roots of thunder and fire in his body.
Daoist An Yan can be regarded as a well-known figure in the cultivation world, but he is an excellent senior brother. He almost single-handedly brought up the next younger brothers and sisters. He also respects and worships Zhenjun Guxiao from the bottom of his heart. .
After being summoned by his master, Daoist An Yan even gave up a very important experience in the secret realm, and drove his own flame cloud straight to the Qingxia Sect immediately, for fear that he would miss the important event of the master.
After everything was ready, Xiao Xinglong was finally lifted out of the small black room, and stood on the side of the formation in panic.
After being confined in the confinement room for three full years, Xiao Xinglong's complexion was extremely pale, his whole body shivered like a frightened bird, and he even began to fear the bright sunlight outside.
In the first two or three months of being locked up in the small black room, Xiao Yun would occasionally visit him, but soon, he was completely tired of this "game", and just stuffed him with a bunch of bigu pills every year, and then went back I don't bother to ask.
Three years is not a long time in the eyes of cultivators. It would take several months and a half a year to enter into meditation or close a test, but for Xiao Yun whose spiritual power is bound by chains, these three years Day after day, day after day, I survived in a real way.
——The middle taste of the period can really drive people crazy. If it wasn't for the sliver of hope of freedom given by Xiao Yun, Xiao Xinglong would have collapsed long ago.
Different from Xiao Xinglong's thin, pale, stooped and slumped back, Xiao Yun's life in the past three years has been extremely nourishing. Now, he has entered the thirtieth mark. It can be said that he is in his prime, and all the physical indicators have reached the peak level - for this point, Bai Duan must have the most say.
Standing on the other side of the magic circle, Xiao Yun saluted True Lord Luwu and Taoist Lord An Yan, thanking them for their help.
True Lord Luwu had gentle eyes, nodded with a smile, while Daoist An Yan patted Xiao Yun's shoulder with a loud voice so that he would not be nervous.
"After a while, my spiritual power containing the power of lightning will enter your body. Don't resist, just accept it with peace of mind." Daojun An Yan warned.
Xiao Yun agreed seriously, and he sat down cross-legged, while Daoist An Yan stood behind him, covering Xiao Yun's spiritual acupoint with his hands.
Bai Duan followed Zhenjun Guxiao and stood outside the magic circle, watching Zhenjun Luwu waving his water sleeves as if dancing. In an instant, the magic circle surrounding Xiao Yun, Daoist An Yan, and Xiao Xinglong lit up, and Daoist An Yan also sent spiritual power into Xiao Yun's body at the same time, and a little scattered spiritual energy emitted a little thunder light around the two of them. .
"Xiao Yun is a mortal now, can he bear the thunder-type spiritual power of Daoist An Yan?" Bai Duan was a little apprehensive, subconsciously tugging at Zhenjun Guxiao's sleeve and asked softly.
Guxiao Zhenjun did not take his eyes off the magic circle, but his tone was very steady: "No problem. Xiao Yun used to be a monk of the thunder system, and his body and meridians were born with the thunder system. Body training, although it can't allow his body to absorb and store spiritual power, it can also enhance the strength of the meridians, which is enough to accommodate An Yan's spiritual power."
Hearing what Zhenjun Guxiao said, Bai Duan breathed a sigh of relief, and his eyebrows also relaxed. And just as Zhenjun Guxiao said, the progress in the formation is very smooth.
Daoist An Yan's thunder energy has entered Xiao Yun's long-dried meridians and dantian. One can dredge the meridians that have not been used for a long time, and the two can also use the stimulation of spiritual energy to slowly restore the vitality of the meridians and dantian. .
Because there is no spiritual root, Xiao Yun's body can't store spiritual energy, and the thunder-type spiritual power escapes out of his body after traveling around in his body, and enters the formation formed by True Monarch Luwu.
As it walked around Xiao Yun's body, this part of the thunder-type spiritual power more or less carried Xiao Yun's aura, coupled with the expansion effect of the formation, it immediately attracted the thunder-type sky spirit root in Xiao Xinglong's body to move.
In this cultivation world, everything has a spirit. Plants, trees, and animals can develop spiritual wisdom and cultivate into demons; even magic weapons sacrificed by cultivators may also produce weapon spirits under the right time and place—and the spiritual root, which is the most aura in the cultivation world, naturally also has own will.
The spiritual root does not produce spiritual wisdom, but it also has its own memory and likes and dislikes. The purer the spiritual root, the clearer this memory and likes and dislikes. Otherwise, after Xiao Xinglong won the Thunder Heaven Spiritual Root, he would not constantly feel the pain of thunder and lightning moving through his meridians when he cultivated and used his spiritual power—this is exactly the Thunder Heaven Spirit Root was resisting, and only after several Ten or even hundreds of years of continuous assimilation can finally eliminate this resistance.
Now, suddenly feeling the aura of his real master, how could the Thunder Element Sky Spiritual Root continue to be peaceful? It kept beating and struggling, trying hard to get rid of Xiao Xinglong's physical restraint.
As Daoist An Yan sent more and more spiritual power into Xiao Yun's body, this attraction became stronger and stronger, and it was Xiao Xinglong who felt this change most intuitively.
At first, Xiao Xinglong could only feel a dull pain in his dantian. Later, the pain became more and more severe, and even extended to the meridians all over his body.
Originally, Xiao Xinglong could still grit his teeth and endure, trying to make himself more cooperative, so that his brother could show mercy after getting back the spirit root. But the escalating pain quickly surpassed his endurance, Xiao Yun lost all strength, his legs gave way, and he fell to the ground, wailing and begging "stop, don't", while rolling and twisting his body.
Xiao Xinglong's voice was extremely shrill, his body was covered in sweat and dust, he was in a state of embarrassment, and his whole face was distorted to the extreme—however, such a tragic situation did not arouse the slightest bit of sympathy from everyone present.
Even Bai Duan was worried that he would accidentally roll out of the magic circle and affect his lover, so he quickly unleashed a burst of spiritual power to bind Xiao Xinglong in place, which was extremely ruthless.
Without the help of others, Xiao Xinglong's voice became weaker and hoarse, and his struggling body gradually lost strength. In the end, he collapsed on the ground like a fish out of water, only the occasional spasms of his body showed the pain he was enduring.
At this moment, Xiao Xinglong really wished that he could pass out, but it was a pity that the pain was too severe, constantly stimulating his nerves and consciousness, so that he couldn't even escape from fainting, he could only feel dizzy in front of his eyes one after another. Black, his sanity appears and disappears from time to time.
Xiao Xinglong really regretted it, he regretted that he was bewitched by the demon cultivator and took away his brother's spiritual root, which made him fall into such a situation. If he doesn't do this... If he doesn't do this, then now he is still a child loved by his parents, he is still the young master of the Xiao family, with no worries about food and clothing, and freedom...
In a drowsy state, Xiao Xinglong murmured and kept apologizing, constantly repenting for the wrong things he had done, but it was a pity that the mistakes had already been made, and it was too late to say anything, neither Xiao Yun nor the original body would accept his current apology .
—Because they all know that Xiao Xinglong's current remorse is nothing more than the punishment and revenge he has encountered now. If the original body did not make a deal with Xiao Yun, but died quietly in Xiao's house, Xiao Xinglong would probably never know what regret is for the rest of his life, and would instead be complacent and self-satisfied for his own choice.
With Xiao Xinglong's last scream, the Lei Tian Linggen, who had struggled for a long time, finally broke free from the shackles of his dantian, and rushed out of his body. Xiao Xinglong rolled his eyes, and finally passed out as he wished, and the bright light group couldn't wait to flash in front of Xiao Yun, and merged into his body from the position of his abdomen.
Xiao Yun only felt a burst of pain in his dantian, but the pain came and went quickly, and he was comforted by a warm feeling in an instant.
Although the spiritual root returned smoothly, Daoist An Yan did not stop inputting spiritual power immediately, and the spiritual power that was sent into Xiao Yun's body did not escape from the body, but was absorbed by the thunder-type spiritual root eagerly Then, it was sent into Xiao Yun's dantian instead.
Xiao Yun's dantian had already been revitalized by the stimulation of the thunder-type spiritual power. When the gap was blocked by the thunder-type heavenly spirit root, the dantian quickly started to work, compressing and storing the spiritual power until it was full, and then drained the excess spiritual power. Infuse force into the meridians of the whole body.
In an instant, Xiao Yun became a cultivator from a mortal, and his cultivation base climbed all the way, until he reached the peak of Qi training before he got stuck at the barrier—but soon, this thin barrier was overwhelmed by the huge spiritual power. There was a gap.
Everyone present did not expect that Xiao Yun would attack Foundation Establishment as soon as he recovered his cultivation, but they were also well-informed, so they did not panic because of this.
Taoist An Yan removed his hand from the top of Xiao Yun's head, quickly took two steps back, and pulled away from the magic circle - building a foundation is the first threshold for a cultivator to truly enter the path, and he must face it alone.
And True Monarch Luwu's reaction was also extremely fast. She clicked a few times in Lingkong, and the formation changed with her movements, slowly turning into a gathering spirit formation, which greatly increased the concentration of spiritual energy around Xiao Yun.
Tian Linggen is definitely the spiritual root that absorbs spiritual energy the fastest in the cultivation world. Soon, a spiritual energy vortex appeared around Xiao Yun, which forced Bai Duan to hide behind Zhenjun Guxiao, barely resisting the sweeping of the spiritual energy vortex shock.
"How long will it take to build the foundation?" Bai Duan asked anxiously, staring at Xiao Yun with correct eyes.
Guxiao Zhenjun raised his hand and erected an aura barrier to block the impact for the white satin. His tone was calm: "At least ten days, at most half a month—"
However, before Zhenjun Guxiao finished speaking, there was a muffled thunderous rumble in the sky. Daoist An Yan was startled, looked up at the dark clouds that were quickly gathering, and shouted: "This is... it's done?!"
True Monarch Luwu was also obviously surprised, his pupils shrank slightly, and then returned to tranquility in an instant. Her personality is still a bit softer, she raised her hand and rolled Xiao Xinglong who was still unconscious in the magic circle to one side, so as not to be implicated when the thunder tribulation fell for a while, and be wiped out by the thunder tribulation.
Bai Duan was led by Zhenjun Guxiao, and quickly evacuated from the courtyard, followed by Zhenjun Luwu and Daoist Anyan - of course, the latter still carried Xiao Xinglong in his hand with disgust.
"Worthy of being a thunder-type heavenly spirit root, it's just a foundation building, it's such a big battle - this is almost catching up with the Jindan's Tribulation Thunder?" Daoist An Yan threw Xiao Xinglong to the ground, slightly speechless.
"For the Thunder Heaven Spiritual Root, the more ferocious the thunder calamity, the more benefits you will get." Luwu Zhenjun said with a smile, and then cupped his hands towards Guxiao Zhenjun, "Congratulations to Huxiao said You have a good student again."
"Hahaha, not bad! You are indeed the master's closed disciple, our little junior brother!" Daojun An Yan also laughed, "I want to tell my juniors and sisters this good news immediately!"
The superficially calm and indifferent, but in fact he has a confused expression on his face: "... ????"
—Wait, wait, when did I say I was going to take Xiao Yun as a disciple? I really can't afford this apprentice!
