302. Joined the Emperor's Pavilion, Codenamed Red Bird

I want to break through to the middle stage of Nascent Soul.

Without resorting to secret techniques or level-breaking elixirs to stimulate her potential, she would need to spend at least sixty or seventy years of hard work just by polishing it over time.

Of course, for the Nascent Soul cultivator, this amount of time is only a blink of an eye, not a long time.

"Different realms mean that Emperor Zi Pavilion's evaluation of you and me will be different..."

Xu Xing frowned.

Level-breaking elixirs in the Nascent Soul realm are hard to find and are more valuable than healing elixirs.

Even the Danding Sect’s own family probably doesn’t have much, let alone selling it.

Although he has the True Spirit Pill given to him by the Nanhua Sect, this pill can only be used to increase his magic power and shorten his training time, and cannot be used to break ranks.

"There are still three years left. Maybe by then... I will be able to break through to the middle stage of Nascent Soul if I have more understanding of the cultivation techniques..."

Yan Luanqing explained to herself.

Right now, she still has a way to break through to the middle stage of Nascent Soul, which is to practice double cultivation with Xu Xing.

It's just that Xu Xing has already rejected the engagement with her, so it's very difficult for her to talk about it again.

"Is Fellow Daoist Xu worried about the woman next to him?"

At this time, the scroll hidden in Xu Xing's right sleeve trembled slightly, and Ao Yuniang's clear voice came from inside.

"I don't have the level-breaking elixir to break through the middle stage of Nascent Soul, but I do know some of the secret techniques to break through this realm."

She spoke to Xu Xing's spiritual consciousness.

More than ten years ago, during the battle between Xu Xing and Chi Yuan, although she did not face Chi Yuan's attack directly, she was also harmed by Chi Yu. Her soul was slightly injured and she hid in the scroll made of soul-nurturing wood and fell asleep.

In recent years, it has slowly awakened.

"What is the secret technique of breaking ranks?"

Xu Xing was curious.

The level-breaking elixir for breaking through to the middle stage of Nascent Soul is hard to find, but that doesn't mean that the level-breaking secret technique is easy to find. The difficulty of the latter is several times that of the former, and it is a secret that is not taught.

After all, the Level Breaking Pill can only be used on one person.

However, the secret technique of breaking ranks can benefit a force.

Strictly speaking, Yan Luanqing and the "Yin and Yang Synergy", a dual cultivation technique in his hands, can be regarded as one of the secret techniques that can break through the realm.

It's just that this secret technique is too restrictive.

"The Five Elements Immortal Sect has a secret technique called Spirit-Slaying and Infant-Raising Technique... It cultivates spiritual beings of the same level as yourself, captures their spirituality with the secret technique, and then pours it into your own Nascent Soul, using this method to break through the realm. …”

"This kind of secret technique not only has no future troubles, but will also give the Yuanying more potential to prepare for the attack on the Yuanshen."

"The Soul-Slaying and Infant-raising Technique is also one of the necessary secret techniques for the direct descendants of the Five Elements Immortal Sect to break through to the Yuanshen Realm."

Ao Yuniang said.

"It's just... If you want to practice this secret technique, you have to find a spiritual creature with the same level of attributes..."

"This is also the only limitation of this secret technique."

she added.

"Senior Sister Yan practices metallic techniques, and it is not easy to find metallic fourth-level spiritual objects..."

After listening to what Ao Yuniang said, Xu Xing's expectations were suddenly dashed.

"That's right, there is no way to achieve success overnight in cultivation. Since the secret technique of breaking ranks can become a secret technique, there must be a threshold..."

Xu Xing shook his head and sighed secretly.

"In addition to the spirit-killing and infant-nurturing technique, there is also a secret technique that may be useful..."

"This secret technique does not have a high threshold, nor does it require too precious external objects."

Seeing that Xu Xing rejected this technique, Ao Yuniang became anxious and made another suggestion.

She has been relying on Xu Xing for more than ten years. Over the years, she has not made any achievements, so she cannot help but not be anxious.

"What secret technique is it?"

Xu Xing asked again.

"Rongxia Gong."

Ao Yuniang hesitated for a moment, then told the name of this secret technique, and explained: "This secret technique comes from Xianxia Sect. The disciples of Xianxia Sect not only refine Yunxia in the foundation-building realm, but also refine Yunxia in the realm of Jindan and Yuan. In subsequent realms such as the Infant Realm, Yunxia will be refined into the body again and the foundation will be changed..."

"The Xianxia Sect's body is like a cloud of clouds, and their escape skills are far superior to those of the same realm."

"Strictly speaking, I came up with this secret technique to take advantage of the shortcomings of Rongxia Gong to allow Yan Luanqing to break through."

"After practicing Rongxia Gong, it is equivalent to damaging a certain amount of Yuanying's foundation and making the foundation weak. At this time, it will be much easier to overcome the realm bottleneck with the accumulation of one's own body."

"The same goes for the back."

"The only drawback is that when you break through to the Yuanshen realm, because your foundation is damaged, your chances of success will be much lower than others."

she said.

"Destroying the foundation in exchange for the breakthrough realm at this moment is indeed an excellent level-breaking secret technique..."

After hearing the shortcomings of Rongxia Gong, Xu Xing sighed secretly and sighed.

The Yuanshen realm is not that easy for ordinary monks to reach.

Sacrificing the foundation in exchange for the opportunity to quickly break through to the late Nascent Soul stage is very worthwhile for many Nascent Soul Dao Lords.

For example, Patriarch Ze Sheng could only reach the middle stage of Yuanying when he was about to die, and there was no hope of breaking through to the late stage of Yuanying.

If there was a level-breaking secret technique called Rongxia Gong, Patriarch Ze Sheng would definitely start practicing it, choosing to become powerful for a moment and ruining the path to immortality that he could not even see.

"Yan Luanqing is over a thousand years old now. If she wants to break through to the late Nascent Soul stage, her lifespan will be at least 2,500 years..."

"And at that time, it will take hundreds of years to accumulate mana in the later stages of the Nascent Soul and hone it to the perfection of the Nascent Soul."

"It is also difficult for her to find the resources and techniques to break through to the Yuanshen realm."

"If there is no hope for her to advance to the Yuanshen realm before she is three thousand years old, there will be no hope for her in this life."

Ao Yuniang said again.

Although she did not reach the Yuanshen realm during her lifetime, her father, the Dragon King of the Abyss Sea, was one of the Yuanshen masters in ancient times. She knew a lot about the secrets of the Yuanshen realm.

"After three thousand years, the chance of breaking through the Yuanshen realm will drop sharply?"

Xu Xing caught the message revealed in Ao Yu Niang's words.

"Yes, Fellow Daoist Xu didn't know about this?" Ao Yu Niang's tone was a little surprised, "There is a saying in the world of cultivating immortals that one can break through the realm at half the age. Once the age exceeds half the age of the realm, it will become extremely difficult to break through the realm in the future."

"The best age to break through the realm is before the age of 200 in the foundation building realm, and before the age of 1,500 in the Jindan realm..."

"The Yuanying realm is 2,500 years old. After 3,000 years old, the difficulty of breaking through the realm will double."

……

……

After discussing with Ao Yu Niang, Xu Xing gathered his mind and recorded the consciousness of Rongxia's function on the jade slip one by one.

Then, he cast his eyes on Yan Luanqing.

If he used this secret technique to break through the realm, it would delay his own path.

But for Yan Luanqing, it might not be the case.

"Rongxia Gong damages one's own foundation, so as to break through the realm by tricks..."

"This secret technique to break through the realm, I hope Sister Yan will practice it carefully!"

Xu Xing hesitated for a while, and made up his mind to give the choice of practicing "Rongxia Gong" to Yan Luanqing, together with the "Zhanling Yangying Jue".

As for the origin of these two secret techniques to break through the realm, he lied casually, saying that they were obtained by chance when he killed his enemies before.

"Rongxia Gong, Zhanling Yangying Jue, these two secret techniques..."

After Yan Luanqing finished reading the content of the techniques in the jade slip, her face suddenly became complicated.

Deciding whether to practice "Rongxia Gong" is indeed a very difficult test for her Dao heart.

The pros and cons of practicing this secret technique to break through the realm are clearly written on the jade slip.

The best path for her to practice is to practice Rongxia Gong first, and then find other ways to break through the Yuanshen realm after reaching the late Yuanying realm, so as to increase the success rate of breaking through the realm.

However, this kind of thing is often the most difficult to choose.

If her life span is approaching, she will definitely choose to practice Rongxia Gong, but her life span is still two thousand years away from the "half-age" period of three thousand years.

During this period, if her path changes and she gets the opportunity, she can easily reach the late Yuanying realm...

"Junior Brother Chang, why... are you so good to me..."

Yan Luanqing put away the jade slip, suppressed the reverie in her heart, and regained her previous lonely and cold temperament like an orchid in the valley, looking at Xu Xing with a scrutinizing look.

"Sister Yan, more than ten years ago, when the ancestor Zesheng handed over the "Seven Methods of Chan Palace" to my junior brother, he never asked for any reward..."

"You and I are from the same school, so we should support each other. Besides, this secret technique of breaking through the ranks is just a technique, not a resource. Sister Yan has learned it, but it does not mean that my junior brother will not be able to practice it in the future..."

Xu Xing sighed secretly, looked into Yan Luanqing's eyes, and said.

With his knowledge, he naturally saw the affection that Yan Luanqing had for him during this period of time, but he knew that Yan Luanqing's character would never tolerate his other confidantes.

In this case, he did not want to find an excuse to deceive Yan Luanqing.

It would be enough to be a senior sister and brother with a good relationship.

In addition, Yan Luanqing was not like Dai Ji, who had excellent talent.

Although he could improve Yan Luanqing's cultivation by practicing with her, the benefits he obtained were definitely far less than Dai Ji.

Of course, if Yan Luanqing came to her senses one day and was willing to be a couple with him, he would naturally not refuse.

Marriage contract...

He would never dare to promise it easily.

"Junior Brother Chang is right!"

Yan Luanqing nodded slightly.

Under her gaze, Xu Xing's eyes were clear, and his temperament was as calm as an ancient cypress, not like he had any feelings for a man or a woman.

"It seems that Junior Brother Chang is really free and dedicated to his work. I thought too much..."

She thought to herself.

"But why did Junior Brother Chang ask me for the Yin-Yang Santong Qi again..."

Yan Luanqing still couldn't figure it out.

"The immortal path is long, and with Junior Brother Chang accompanying me, this path won't seem lonely."

Yan Luanqing smiled.

She had made it clear at this moment that if she couldn't be a couple with Xu Xing, it would be fine to be a "Daoist couple".

Daoist couples are not only couples, but also friends on the immortal path.

"Good."

Xu Xing nodded slightly.

...

...

Very quickly.

Three years passed in a flash.

Xu Xing, who was meditating in the Wuliang Sect's blessed land, sensed that his jade token trembled in the bag.

He opened his eyes and looked into the sky, only to see that there were several more cold breaths in the blessed land.

"Finally arrived, the Emperor's Pavilion of the Chiming Dynasty..."

Xu Xing stood up from the jade couch, waved his sleeves, and instantly appeared above the clouds, confronting the Emperor's Pavilion monks.

These Emperor's Pavilion monks wore black iron masks on their faces, and their breath was cold, and it was impossible to tell what kind of skills they belonged to.

After a while, Yan Luanqing also came out and stood beside Xu Xing to resist him.

Both sides showed their pressure and pressed towards each other.

The entire blessed land was instantly in a mess, destroyed by the pressure.

"It's still the pressure of the early stage of the Nascent Soul, not the middle stage of the Nascent Soul. It seems that Senior Sister Yan has not made up her mind to practice Rongxia Gong."

At this time, Xu Xing also sensed Yan Luanqing's breath and thought to himself.

He shook his head and sighed, revealing more of his pressure to help Yan Luanqing block the attack from the opposite side.

Time passed slowly.

A quarter of an hour.

Two quarters of an hour.

…

Both sides kept testing.

Finally, half a day later, Xu Xing and Yan Luanqing could not withstand the pressure of the monks from the Dizi Pavilion and took a few steps back.

"Yes, just two early Yuanying monks can withstand my pressure..."

The leader of the Dizi Pavilion monk, an old man in gray robe, broke the silence of everyone, stroked his beard and said with a smile.

"Ten years ago, your sect said it would recruit Chang and Senior Sister Yan. What did you mean?"

Xu Xing took half a step forward, bowed his hands to the old man in gray robe, and asked.

"Chang Kun, a monk from the Wuliang Sect, was suspected of possessing the Golden Crow Immortal Body. He fought with Yinhuanzhai and killed two Taoist Lords. At the Ningying Ceremony, he almost killed Master Jiuling..."

The old man in gray robe did not answer Xu Xing's question. After pondering for a while, he read out Xu Xing's achievements in Nanyan Continent.

After finishing speaking, he smiled and said: "With the strength and qualifications of fellow Taoist Chang, you will have a bright future if you join our Emperor's Pavilion."

"The Wuliang Sect is just a small sect, and its foundation and skills cannot cultivate a Yuanshen monk, but the Emperor's Pavilion can!"

This time, Yan Luanqing was just incidental to the recruitment of members by Emperor Zi Pavilion. What they really wanted was Xu Xing, the Golden Crow Immortal from a small sect.

The words fell.

The atmosphere was quiet for a while.

Xu Xing and Yan Luanqing looked at each other, nodded, and bowed at the same time: "Thank you to Dizi Pavilion and senior for your appreciation. The two juniors are willing to join Dizi Pavilion."

Nowadays, everyone is a swordsman, and I am a fish. With the strength of him and Yan Luanqing, they are simply unable to resist the behemoth of Dizi Pavilion.

The only thing you can do is join in.

The previous confrontation was a way for him and Yan Luanqing to show their value to Dizi Pavilion, rather than sincerely wanting to confront it.

"This is an oath. After you swear this oath, you can join my cabinet."

The old man in gray robe smiled slightly, as if this scene had been expected by him.

Then, he took out two jade slips from his sleeves and threw them to Xu Xing and Yan Luanqing respectively.

"Junior Chang Kun is willing to join the Emperor's Pavilion. If... he violates his oath, he will have no hope in this life..."

After receiving the jade slip, Xu Xing did not rush to swear. Instead, he carefully read the contents of the oath in the jade slip. After seeing that there were no too harsh oaths, he put down his worries and swore.

Otherwise, with his strength, it would not be difficult to escape from the Wuliang Sect.

At worst, I'll go back to Donghuangzhou.

Seeing Xu Xing swear an oath, Yan Luanqing no longer hesitated, swore an oath with Xu Xing, and joined the Emperor's Pavilion.

At this point, she is not allowed to retreat.

"From now on, your code names in the pavilion are Xuan She and Red Bird."

The old man in gray robe took out two black iron masks, carved the two seal characters "Xuan Snake" and "Red Bird" on them respectively, and handed them to Xu Xing and Yan Luanqing.
