Qinghe Immortal Clan.

Chapter 662: Jade Refining Treasure Technique, Incarnation (asking for monthly ticket)

As soon as he saw Song Qingming, Taoist Lingxu showed an expectant expression. It was obvious that he, a cultivator who had reached the state of spiritual transformation, was also extremely interested in the subsequent practices of the "Yuxuan Sutra".

Not only him, but Li Xuanyi who was standing next to him also focused her attention on Song Qingming. As someone who had also entered the "Taixu Palace" and deduced the subsequent exercises, she was also very curious about the results of Song Qingming's four years of retreat.

Seeing that the two people in the cave were looking at him expectantly, Song Qingming did not hesitate any longer. He moved the magic power in his hand and a ball of light green light appeared, and then gathered it into a ball and displayed it in front of the two people.

"Hey! There seems to be something wrong with your technique. It shouldn't be derived from the original technique!"

After seeing this ball of spiritual light appear, a hint of surprise slowly emerged on Taoist Lingxu's originally calm face, and then he looked at Song Qingming with a slightly serious gaze.

“What the senior said is correct. This set of exercises was indeed deduced by me on my own. However, I still deduced it along the main path of the original Yuxuan Sutra exercises, but I made some slight changes in some places during the process.

I am a junior with dull talent. I have been meditating in Taixu Cave for a long time but still failed to make any progress. In desperation, I thought of starting from scratch to deduce the skills. This is how I deduced this set of skills.

However, although it took me such a long time, after I deduced this technique to the middle stage of the Golden Core, it became difficult to make any further progress. I am really ashamed to disappoint you, senior."

During the four years of seclusion to deduce the martial arts, after Song Qingming comprehended the "Taixu Stone Tablet", he actually tried many methods at the beginning, but the power of the subsequent martial arts he deduced was rather mediocre and completely incomparable to the original martial arts, which always made him somewhat dissatisfied.

Thinking about this technique, even a Divine Transformation cultivator like Taoist Lingxu found it difficult to deduce it. If he tried to use normal thinking, he would definitely not be able to beat them. After thinking hard for a long time in the cave, an idea that made him feel a little excited suddenly popped up in Song Qingming's mind.

Since he couldn't deduce a subsequent technique that could match the "Yuxuan Sutra" based on the original technique, he might as well find another way and deduce a new technique to give it a try.

As a result, after this round of attempts, Song Qingming was able to confidently deduce a completely new technique based on the general principles of the "Yuxuan Sutra" technique.

After hearing Song Qingming's explanation, Taoist Lingxu turned his eyes slightly, lowered his head and fell into deep thought.

Seeing this, Song Qingming didn't dare to disturb the other party anymore. He could only stand aside and wait patiently.

Li Xuanyi, who had been standing beside Song Qingming, was a little surprised when he heard Song Qingming say that the green light in his hand was a new deduction of a new martial art. He took the initiative to step forward and take a look at it out of curiosity.

At that time, Li Xuanyi entered the "Taixu Palace" cave to comprehend the Taixu Stele. He was the only one among the people who came here to practice the "Yuxuan Sutra" who could deduce a set of early Nascent Soul exercises from it.

It was precisely because of this extraordinary talent that Li Xuanyi was deeply loved by Taoist Lingxu, who made an exception and kept her in the mountains all year round to personally guide her in her practice.

Li Xuanyi looked around Song Qingming and carefully observed the light green ball of light in his hand. Then he nodded with a little appreciation and asked:
"Junior Brother Song, although your technique has only been deduced to the middle stage of the Golden Core, it is indeed somewhat miraculous. It feels more powerful than the techniques we deduced before.

It seems that your method of finding a new way has really backfired. You have deduced a set of skills that are more suitable for fighting, which is indeed very useful.

Senior sister just gave you a gift, you should also show some appreciation, I think you should just copy a copy of your new set of skills for me as a return gift."

Hearing that Li Xuanyi had set his sights on his new set of skills, Song Qingming smiled helplessly and nodded, saying, "I'll ask Senior Lingxu first. As long as he agrees, I can copy a copy for Senior Sister Li."

"Well! Don't worry, Master will definitely agree." Seeing that Song Qingming was willing to copy the skills for him, Li Xuanyi's face was very satisfied and he immediately showed a smile.

She has been in the Taixu Sect for so many years and is deeply loved by Taoist Lingxu. Naturally, she is confident that she can get her master's consent for this matter.

Just as Song Qingming and Li Xuanyi were talking, Taoist Lingxu came back to his senses from his thoughts and came to Song Qingming with a smile on his face.

"This set of skills you have comprehended is quite interesting. I would like to trouble you to stay here and copy a copy of this skill so that I can study it carefully. Is that okay?"

"But I will follow your instructions, senior. I will do my best to cooperate!"

Seeing that Song Qingming agreed immediately, Taoist Lingxu nodded slightly, turned around and instructed Li Xuanyi beside him: "Xuanyi, take him to Tianyun Pavilion to settle him down first, and bring him back to me immediately after the skills are copied."

"Master, rest assured, I know what's going on!"

After hearing Taoist Lingxu's instructions, Li Xuanyi nodded hurriedly, then took Song Qingming out, and the two of them came to a more secluded attic on the top of the mountain.

This attic, located on the top of a mountain, offers a view of several beautiful sights on "Yuxuan Mountain" at a glance. It is obvious that it is a place used by the sect to entertain distinguished guests.

After Li Xuanyi brought Song Qingming here, he helped him find a quieter room and provided him with the spiritual objects he needed.

Afterwards, Song Qingming began to engrave all the skills he had developed over the past few years onto bamboo slips and gave them to Li Xuanyi.

After Li Xuanyi delivered the bamboo slips to Taoist Lingxu, no one came to look for Song Qingming for more than half a month.

Fortunately, the scenery in "Tianyun Pavilion" is nice, and the spiritual energy on Yuxuan Mountain is also very abundant. Song Qingming is in a good mood living here. In addition to practicing all day, he continues to deduce the new skills he has just passed on.

When Song Qingming was engraving the martial arts method for Taoist Lingxu, he also gave this new martial arts method a name, "Qingyu Refining Treasure Technique".

Although this new technique still follows the path of the "Yuxuan Sutra", the power of the technique is now mainly focused on enhancing magic weapons, and it has indeed taken a different path of its own.

Although Song Qingming no longer uses the "Taixu Stele" to deduce the martial arts, this "Qingyu Refining Treasure Technique" was, after all, established by him. Even without the help of the stele, Song Qingming can deduce the martial arts at any time when he is outside.

However, the effect is definitely much weaker than in the "Taixu Palace", which is also beyond doubt.

Song Qingming originally thought that he could live in the "Tianyun Pavilion" forever, waiting to be summoned by Taoist Lingxu. However, he had only lived here for less than a month when Li Xuanyi and Liu Yang came to him and invited him to go to the village at the foot of the mountain to experience the life of an "ordinary person".

Disciples of Taixu Sect have to practice in the secular world every once in a while. This is an old rule of the sect, and basically all disciples have to follow it.

Originally, Song Qingming had already experienced life at the foot of the mountain for more than half a year and didn't need to go down the mountain anymore. However, unable to resist the enthusiastic invitation of Li Xuanyi and Liu Yang, Song Qingming had no choice but to follow them down the mountain.

This time, after the three of them went down the mountain, they went to three different mortal villages respectively. They experienced life at the foot of the mountain for more than half a year before Song Qingming was summoned back to the mountain by Taoist Lingxu.

More than half a year had passed since the last time Song Qingming saw Taoist Lingxu. When he saw him this time, he was somewhat surprised to find that his entire dress and appearance had suddenly changed a lot.

The first two times I met Taoist Lingxu, he was only wearing coarse cloth clothes, dressed very casually like an ordinary country Taoist.

The Taoist Lingxu who was standing in front of Song Qingming was wearing a very exquisite black Taoist robe with a faint golden glow. The hairpin on his head was also shining brightly, making him look like an immortal.

If Song Qingming had not seen that Taoist Lingxu's face was exactly the same as before, he would have almost mistaken him for someone else when he first entered the cave.

Seeing a hint of doubt on Song Qingming's face, Taoist Lingxu in black robes quickly said:

"Haha! Don't misunderstand me. I am his incarnation, not the real owner. He happened to be out for something today, so he asked me to come out and receive you."

"Incarnation, I see. I am honored to meet you, Senior!"

When Song Qingming came in just now, he clearly felt the aura of "Taoist Lingxu", which had changed significantly compared to the past, and gave people the feeling that he was not as mysterious and profound as before.

After hearing the explanation from Taoist Lingxu's incarnation, he suddenly understood and hurriedly nodded and bowed.

During this time, Song Qingming became somewhat familiar with Li Xuanyi and the others at the foot of the mountain. Only then did he learn about some things on the mountain from them. He also heard that Taoist Lingxu had an incarnation.

This external incarnation of Taoist Lingxu was something he had refined in his early years, and his cultivation had long since been elevated to the level of a spirit being.

It's just that his incarnation has been sitting on the mountain for many years, guarding the ancient formation that sealed the true demon from the upper realm, and rarely comes out to see people. Even Li Xuanyi, the beloved disciple of "Master Lingxu", has only seen him once.

The external incarnation is different from the "corpse puppet". It is controlled by the cultivator using the second Nascent Soul differentiated from his own Nascent Soul. It requires a cultivation level of at least the Nascent Soul stage to be able to refine it.

Because there is an independent Nascent Soul in the body, the incarnation outside the body also has an independent self-awareness and can act independently. Even if the original body is in seclusion or away from this place, the incarnation outside the body can accept his orders and help the original body complete some tasks.

Moreover, because the incarnation has an independent Nascent Soul in its body, its cultivation speed is not much different from that of ordinary cultivators, and is much faster than "corpse puppets" and "corpse refiners" that have no self-awareness. There are no other restrictions except that its cultivation cannot exceed that of the original body. However, the high-level materials needed to cultivate the incarnation are also very precious and rare. Ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators simply cannot get them. Song Qingming has been practicing Taoism for so many years, and this is the first time he has seen a real incarnation.

Seeing Song Qingming being so polite, the incarnation of Taoist Lingxu nodded in satisfaction. He waved his hand and a golden book appeared in his hand. He continued to speak to Song Qingming seriously:
“Since you have already received the inheritance of my Taixu Sect, and successfully deduced a set of skills similar to the “Yuxuan Sutra” through the Taixu Stele, you are now considered to have entered my Taixu Sect’s school.

If you are willing, you can leave a drop of blood in the door so that I can contact you if there is anything in the future."

"Senior, I'm not sure about some things. Can I ask for clarification before making a decision?"

"It's okay, just ask directly if you have anything to say. I have already explained it. As long as it does not involve some secret matters in our sect, I can answer you." "Taoist Lingxu" replied calmly.

Seeing this, Song Qingming bowed slightly and slowly said, "I can have the cultivation level I have today because I was fortunate enough to receive the inheritance from my predecessors. Otherwise, I would not have been able to cross thousands of mountains and rivers to find this place.

I hope that Senior Meng and many of my fellow disciples do not despise me, and I should become your disciple and stay here to serve the sect.

However, my family is weak now and I cannot leave. In my early years, I did not know about this matter and I joined another sect as a guest elder. I am afraid that I cannot stay in the mountain forever. I hope you can understand this matter."

"Yes! I have already known about this matter. Don't worry. You have just entered the sect and are only an outer disciple. You can stay in the mountain to practice, but the sect will not require you to stay.

It's not just you, the situation is similar for other outer disciples of the sect. They seldom come to Yuxuan Mountain on weekdays. If necessary, I will have someone send a message to you in advance.

The sect doesn't actually have too many requirements for outer disciples. It doesn't matter if you have already joined another sect. You just need to return to the island every thirty years or so to complete your worldly training.

Since you are far away, there will be no mandatory requirements in this regard. You can arrange your own time to come back and practice in the future.

However, our Taixu Sect has a sect rule that you must strictly abide by, whether you are an outer or inner disciple.

That is, once you are outside, no matter what happens, you must not take the initiative to reveal the identity of our sect to outsiders, otherwise the sect will directly erase your identity as a disciple of Taixu Sect.

As long as you can do this, nothing else should be a problem.”

"Taoist Lingxu" introduced matters concerning outer sect disciples in a very relaxed and casual tone. Only when he mentioned the last point of sect rules that needed attention did his expression become a little serious.

"Yes! Thank you for your guidance, Master. I understand!"

After hearing the reply from "Taoist Lingxu", Song Qingming smiled and nodded, then quickly cast a spell to force out a trace of blood from his body, which fell onto the golden book in his hand.

Ever since he came to the island and learned about the "Taixu Sect", Song Qingming had long thought about the day when he would join the sect.

Over the past six months, Song Qingming and Li Xuanyi have inquired about many things in this regard, and they already know some of the things they need to pay attention to as outer disciples of the sect.

The reason why he asked one more question here was to be on the safe side, in case there was something he was unclear about and he violated the rules of the sect without knowing it. This was a cautious habit he had developed over the years.

After all, although the Taixu Sect acts low-key, it is also a sect that has cultivators who have reached the level of Divine Transformation. If one accidentally violates the sect's rules, the consequences will be something Song Qingming cannot bear.

Fortunately, "Taoist Lingxu" had already taken Song Qingming's actual situation into consideration and did not make too many demands on him. The only important thing was that he asked them not to reveal their identities outside.

Song Qingming had already known this in his mind. After all, the fact that the "Taixu Sect" had been able to remain secluded from the world for so many years without being known to outsiders was definitely not something that could be achieved by just talking about it.

He only needs to go back to the sect every few decades to practice in the secular world. Although this is a little troublesome for Song Qingming due to the long distance, it is still not difficult to do.

After all, his cultivation is almost approaching the late stage of the Golden Core, so it won't be too difficult for him to come to the "Donghuang Kingdom" to cultivate immortals alone in the future.

Seeing that Song Qingming had taken the initiative to change the way he addressed himself, "Taoist Lingxu" responded to him with a satisfied look on his face, then added his name to the golden album before putting it away.

Next, "Taoist Lingxu" took the initiative to pass on to Song Qingming the mantra of entering and exiting the Yuxuan Mountain protective formation, and also gave him a third-level top-grade talisman to protect his life. Song Qingming was so happy that he quickly bowed to express his gratitude.

After completing Song Qingming's initiation ceremony, "Lingxu Taoist" spoke to him again: "I studied the skills you recorded before for a long time and found that there are indeed some feasible points that can help me deduce the subsequent skills.

The bad thing is that your set of Qingyu Treasure Refining Technique has only been deduced to the middle stage of Jindan, so it is of limited help to me.

I would like to ask you to go to Taixu Palace again and try to continue to deduce the exercises to see if you can deduce this set of Qingyu Refining Treasures directly to the Nascent Soul stage."

"Deduced to the Nascent Soul stage? With my talent, it may be difficult to deduce this technique to the Nascent Soul stage in a short period of time."

When Song Qingming heard that "Taoist Lingxu" wanted him to deduce the "Green Jade Treasure Refining Art" to the Nascent Soul stage, he thought about it and shook his head slightly.

The reason why Song Qingming gave up on continuing to deduce the skills and chose to leave the "Taixu Palace" was because he encountered a huge bottleneck. After trying for a long time, he still found it difficult to overcome it. He had no choice but to leave the "Taixu Palace".

It would be easier for a cultivator to deduce a technique within the range of his own cultivation level. Once it exceeds his own cultivation level, the difficulty would increase accordingly.

Someone like Li Xuanyi, whose cultivation is still at the fourth level of the Golden Core, but who can use the "Taixu Stele" to deduce a set of subsequent Nascent Soul exercises, can indeed be called a genius in this area.

Although Song Qingming's talent in deducing martial arts techniques is not too bad, there is still a big gap compared to Li Xuanyi. Song Qingming is somewhat self-aware of this.

Even if "Taoist Lingxu" is willing to let Song Qingming go in and deduce it once more, he can probably only deduce the "Qingyu Treasure Refining Art" to the late Jindan stage at best. It is unlikely that he will be so lucky to deduce it directly to the Yuanying stage.

Seeing that Song Qingming did not have much confidence in being able to deduce the "Green Jade Treasure Refining Technique" to the Nascent Soul stage, "Lingxu Taoist" did not show any surprise on his face, and continued to say to Song Qingming with a smile:

“I’m not letting you go in alone this time. I’ll also bring a magic treasure with me to help you. I should be able to have a 50% to 60% chance of being able to deduce the technique to the Nascent Soul stage.

I have two sets of subsequent exercises here that have been deduced to the Nascent Soul stage by us. You can take them back and study them first. They should be helpful to you in deducing the subsequent exercises.

Three days later, I will take you to Taixu Palace. Regardless of whether you can successfully deduce the technique to the Nascent Soul stage this time, I will not blame you for it. You don’t need to worry about this, just prepare well. "

"Don't worry, senior. I will do my best in this matter!"

Seeing that "Taoist Lingxu" said that he wanted to go in and help, the pressure on Song Qingming was immediately relieved, and he quickly nodded and agreed to the matter.

Deducing the subsequent exercises of the "Green Jade Treasure Refining Technique" is a very important matter for him. Song Qingming naturally wanted more help since "Taoist Lingxu" was willing to help.

Regardless of whether the final result can successfully deduce the technique to the Nascent Soul stage, as long as there is some progress and it can be deduced to the late Golden Core stage, it will be of great benefit to Song Qingming's future practice.

After receiving the two sets of skills given to him by "Taoist Lingxu", Song Qingming immediately returned to "Tianyun Pavilion" and took the time to begin studying the two sets of skills.

These two sets of Nascent Soul Stage exercises are the subsequent exercises of the "Yuxuan Sutra" deduced by other disciples in the sect through the "Taixu Stele".

Some of the understandings of the original "Yuxuan Sutra" in it also made Song Qingming admire it, and he couldn't help but feel more respect for the person who deduced the practice.

For three consecutive days, Song Qingming could not help but immerse himself in these two exercises. Sometimes he would ponder the unique insights he saw in the exercises, and sometimes he would close his eyes and try to continue to deduce the "Qingyu Refining Treasure Technique" that he created.

It was not until his fourth senior brother Zheng Xingyun came to him that Song Qingming put away his skills and followed him to the outside of the "Taixu Palace".

When the two arrived here, "Taoist Lingxu" was already waiting there.

"When I'm away, you go and take over for me for a while. I should be back in a month or two at most!"

After seeing Song Qingming and the other, "Taoist Lingxu" first gave instructions to Zheng Xingyun calmly, and then asked Song Qingming to follow him into the "Taixu Palace".

After a familiar spell, the "Taixu Stele" reappeared in front of Song Qingming. Then "Lingxu Taoist" waved his hand, and a black token with a somewhat ancient look suddenly appeared out of thin air in his hand.
