Martial Arts: Immortality Begins from The Deer and the Cauldron

Chapter 623: Timeless practice

Li Yingqiong and Yu Yingnan put away their proud expressions, bowed solemnly, and saluted: "Disciple, please remember Master's teachings! Disciple, thank you Master for your teachings!"

After taking the treasure of the holy mausoleum and beheading three demon corpses, there is no big deal here. Qin Ran took his two disciples back to Shushi Qiyun Cave in Mount Emei.

After returning to the cave, he asked Li Yingqiong and Yu Yingnan to practice on their own, while he concentrated on studying the Jiuyi Cauldron in a stone room.

For Kieran, the practical function of this magic weapon was secondary. The most important thing is the Taoist charm contained in it.

If it falls into the hands of other monks, Jiuyi Cauldron will at most regard it as an enemy treasure used to absorb the monks' flying swords, magic weapons, and even the monks themselves.

But to Qin Ran, the Jiuyi Cauldron's ability to fight enemies was of no importance at all.

What is really important is the innate chaotic Yuan embryo in the cauldron.

Qin Ran opened the Jiuyi Cauldron.

I saw a round bead the size of an egg floating in the cauldron.

At first glance, the round bead only had a bluish-white shimmer, which was chaotic and not very transparent.

When Dingqing took a closer look, the round bead looked strange.

I saw the blue and white lights separated, the green light rising and the white light settling. After a while, countless celestial phenomena including the sun, moon, stars, wind, clouds, thunder and rain appeared on the green light. The white light in the lower half shows mountains, rivers, lakes and seas, all kinds of living beings, and even human society and all kinds of worlds.

The objects in the beads, including the sun, moon, stars, wind, clouds, thunderstorms, all kinds of living beings, and human society, are all lifelike and no different from reality.

Even when Qin Ran stared at one of the creatures, whether it was a bird, animal, fish, insect, or human being, he could see through its life experience from birth to death in just a few breaths.

It felt like reenacting the creation of the world and the evolution of all living beings.

Not long after, the green and white Qi merged together again, as if the era had ended, the doomsday had come, and the world had returned to chaos.

This round bead is the foundation of Jiuyi Cauldron, a wisp of innate chaos energy manifested, the innate chaos Yuan Fei!
  Although it was just a ray of innate energy, which was completely different from a real innate thing, for the current Qin Ran, it was still a rare treasure.

If you can understand the mystery of the innate chaotic Yuan Fei and use the innate energy contained in the innate chaotic Yuan Fei to refine and strengthen yourself, this will be a great opportunity.

In the womb of innate chaos, this fantasy seems to be the creation of the world, the evolution of all living beings, the coming of the doomsday, and the return to chaos, repeated over and over without end.

Qin Ran remained motionless, sitting upright on the couch, his pupils blazing with crystal light, staring at the orb, his mind immersed in the Chaos Embryo, watching over and over again the creation of the world and the evolution of living things.

I don't know how long it took, but a mysterious and indescribable Tao charm gradually emerged from him and slowly spread.

Right here, Li Yingqiong and Yu Yingnan walked side by side towards the stone room.

"Master has been in samadhi for almost a month. You, Yingnan, have already entered the broken state. Why hasn't Master come out yet?" Li Yingqiong asked worriedly.

Yu Yingnan consoled him: "For a great monk like Master, one month of meditation is just like a short nap for us. My Master Guanghui once said that some great monks can stay in meditation for several years or more than ten years at a time. It’s rare.” Li Yingqiong was shocked: “What? Can you be in trance for several years at a time? More than ten years? Isn’t this too exaggerated? What if the master has been in trance for that long and when he wakes up, we won’t be old girls?”

Yu Yingnan pursed her lips and smiled: "So what if I become an old girl? Do you still want to get married?"

Li Yingqiong chuckled and said: "I don't want to get married! I swore long ago that I would never marry. Besides..."

She rolled her eyes, hugged Yu Yingnan, rubbed the tip of Yu Yingnan's nose with her own, and said with a smile: "I have a Yingnan, and you are enough! As long as you can always stay with me."

"I hate it!" Yu Yingnan pushed her away and pretended to be angry with a slightly red face: "I don't want to stay with you all the time!"

Li Yingqiong stuck out her tongue, smiled and took Yu Yingnan's hand: "Yingnan, we have made an appointment to be together for the rest of our lives. As cultivators, we can't deceive our hearts!"

"Now you remember that you are a Taoist?" Yu Yingnan rolled his eyes at Li Yingqiong, "In that case, why don't you learn to be calmer? You see how graceful the master is, when have you ever been irritable and panicked? You, so many Learn from Master and stop being so frivolous and fickle!"

"There's no comparison between me and Master." Li Yingqiong laughed: "I'm just a wild girl who followed my father around. I don't know how long it will take to practice to become as calm and measured as Master!"

While they were talking, they had already arrived in front of the stone room where Qin Ran had entered meditation, and were about to go in to pay homage.

In the past month, although Qin Ran had been in trance, Ying Qiong and Ying Nan, upholding their duties as disciples, always came to worship once every morning and dusk, regardless of whether he could hear or see.

The two of them stood at the door, straightened their clothes, opened the door, and were about to enter, but when they raised their eyes to see clearly what was going on inside, they were stunned.

They saw only the small stone room, and the space seemed to expand infinitely. In their eyes, it became as vast as the starry sky. The master who is sitting cross-legged on the stone couch seems to be very close at first glance, but upon closer inspection, he seems to be far away!

Yingqiong and Yingnan's eyes widened in disbelief, and they stared blankly for a while, then blinked sharply at the same time, and even rubbed their eyes with their hands. Taking another closer look, I still felt that the space in the stone chamber was vast and boundless. The master was far away at the end of the world, and there seemed to be a vast space of unknown distance between them.

"What's going on?" They both looked at each other with shock and surprise in their eyes.

At this time, Qin Ran, who was sitting on the stone couch, slowly opened his eyes.
  As he opened his eyes, Li Yingqiong and Yu Yingnan felt that the infinitely expanding space was shrinking rapidly. It was as if the master, who was far away in the horizon, was quickly approaching them.

After the light in his eyes faded, the strange sense of space suddenly disappeared. The small stone chamber has returned to its original appearance. The master is also back in front of me, and he no longer feels that he is out of reach.

Yingqiong and Yingnan looked at each other again, breathed a sigh of relief, walked into the room, bowed and said: "Disciple pays homage to Master!"

"Yeah." Qin Ran hummed softly, calculated the time, and found that this time he entered samadhi, which lasted for a month. He couldn't help but smiled, shook his head, and said to himself: "Sure enough, there is no time to practice."

Then, he sighed again, "This Jiuyi Cauldron actually has the ability to change space. What a treasure!"

After pondering for a while, he smiled slightly at Li Yingqiong and Yu Yingnan and said, "How about a broken man? Yes, I have not wasted my efforts this month. I have been in meditation for a month, and I have gained a lot of experience. I have learned a sword skill, which is passed down For you guys."

After that, he flicked his finger and shot out a stream of light, split it in two, and injected it into the eyebrows of Li Yingqiong and Yu Yingnan. After passing the swordsmanship, he said again: "Give me your swords."
