Chapter 10 The Yellow Crane Tower

Li Yunsheng stayed in the back mountain for more than a month, and the temple gave him two kilograms of 8 taels of immortal rice, three stone grains and some fruits and vegetables.

If you want to tell the difference between this immortal palace and his family, Li Yunsheng should have good sleep and eaten too much. Although he is still growing, Li Yunsheng's appetite has become very large recently. Several senior brothers in the temple take good care of him. They can't give him more immortal grains, but the delicious fragrant rice, fresh fruits and poultry meat will be delivered every once in a while.

The reason why I sleep well is not because Li Yunsheng didn't sleep well before, but now I'm sleeping so well. My body, which was originally tired of twenty loads of water a day, can always recover as before after waking up. Li Yunsheng even felt better, just like someone helped him massage and clear his muscles and bones while he was sleeping.

Of course, Li Yunsheng didn't think much about it, just thought it was because of the abundant spiritual energy of the fairy palace.

No one could have thought that in just one month, Li Yunsheng had gone from the thin black child in the past to the young man with a tall figure and a bright eyes now.

Li Lan was also surprised to see Li Yunsheng again. He looked at Li Yunsheng carefully, then put his chin on his cheek and thought, "Why do the rice and grain in Baiyun Temple support you in special care? It took only one month to pass the bone change period."

"Bone change stage?" Li Yunsheng looked at Li Lan in confusion.

"I'm so cold. When you go to Huanghe Tower later, you can find a Taoist essay to read it yourself and you will understand."

The weather was getting colder, especially on the top of the mountain. A single dress could not keep the cold. Li Lan shrank his shoulders and said tremblingly.

Li Yunsheng nodded.

After receiving the fairy food for the month a few days ago, Li Lan made an appointment with Li Yunsheng to go to the Yellow Crane Tower together. Because the Yellow Crane Tower is more than twenty miles away from Baiyun Temple, there are very few disciples from Baiyun Temple. The third senior brother Li Changgeng heard that Li Yunsheng was going to go and asked Li Yunsheng and Li Lan to help him borrow a book called "The Legend of Demon Slaying" written by Bailu Sanren. Li Lan refused and ridiculed him for always reading some idle books. Li Changgeng laughed at him for going to the Yellow Crane Tower just to see the Chuchu girl inside, and the two almost started arguing about this.

Originally, Li Yunsheng was afraid that he would have to walk for one day in these twenty miles, but after the training this month, it took only two hours for Li Yunsheng and Li Lan to arrive at the Huanghe Tower.

Like other buildings in Qiushuimen, the Yellow Crane Tower is also hidden in the mountains. From the outside, you can only see a few exposed eaves. Therefore, when Li Yunsheng followed Li Lan through the dense forest to the main entrance of the Yellow Crane Tower, he felt a sense of breaking through the clouds and mist. The Yellow Crane Tower that appeared in front of Li Yunsheng was not as mysterious or majestic as Li Yunsheng imagined. It was more like a broken building covered with moss and covered with fallen leaves on the roof.

There are actually not many people reading books.

Blessed lands of the level of Baicaotang and Zhuque Pavilion have their own library, skills, and experience in practicing Taoism, and are free. Therefore, this kind of place where you have to charge for money for reading books, only disciples who do not have library like Baiyunguan will occasionally come to visit.

"Chuchu...why don't you always reply to my letter?"

As soon as he entered the door, Li Lan asked the beautiful woman who was burying her head at the door with a hint of sad voice.

Hearing his voice, the woman lifted her hair on her forehead and behind her ears, then looked up and looked at Li Lan and looked at Li Yunsheng quietly and said, "My junior brother is reading a book?"

The woman has a fair and clean face, delicate facial features, just like the young ladies from scholarly families that Li Yunsheng occasionally saw in the secular world.

"Yes!" Li Yunsheng nodded heavily. The faint smile on the senior sister's face made him feel very warm.

"This is our newly acquired junior brother from Baiyunguan. Doesn't he look very energetic? I'll call Senior Sister Chuchu..."

The woman seemed to be like Li Lan in front of her, and she skillfully picked up the pen to register and asked, "Name?"

"Li Yunsheng."

"Borrow books or read books?"

"Read the book first."

"The first floor reads books for 10 merit coins a day, the second floor reads books for 100 yuan a day, the third floor reads for 100 yuan a day, and the fourth floor reads for 100 yuan a day, and the fourth floor reads for 100 yuan. Going to the fifth floor, you need to recommend books from the head, the Fudi Temple Master, and the Pavilion Master."

“What is the difference between each floor?”

"The first floor is the astronomy and geography of some immortal palaces, and the beginning of cultivation, as well as some travel notes and novels of random cultivators. The second floor and the ones up are the tips of various practice techniques, and these are all available only in it."

“First floor.”

Li Yunsheng thought for a while and said that he urgently needed some common sense in the Immortal Palace. The cultivation of immortals was still far away for him. Then he took out ten merit coins and handed them to the woman in front of him. This was what he exchanged for one pound of immortal grain, and one pound of immortal grain could be exchanged for one hundred merit coins.

The two ignored Li Lan throughout the whole process, making Li Lan stare in anger.

"Second Brother, I'm going there to read a book."

Li Yunsheng couldn't wait. He was not interested in Li Lan and the woman in front of him.

Li Lan came to Huanghe Tower because the drunkard was not drunk. He waved his hand angrily: "Go and go."

Although the appearance of this Yellow Crane Tower is worn, the interior is clean and tidy, both the bookshelf and the floor are very clean and tidy, especially the rows of endless bookshelfs. Even people like Li Yunsheng who are not aware of their careers can see that the wood used to make these bookshelfs is extraordinary.

Another feature of this Yellow Crane Tower is its size. Since half of its area is embedded in the mountain, it doesn’t feel like it from the outside, but when it reaches the inside, it feels like it can’t see at all. Sunlight can only illuminate a small half of the area, and all bookshelfs are lit with eternal lights. Under the goose yellow light, these bookshelfs exude a leisurely ancient meaning.

"Where should I look at it?" Li Yunsheng rubbed his hands excitedly.

But when he picked up the first book, his expression immediately calmed down.

These knowledge that the disciples of the Immortal Palace have long been familiar with, but they are particularly interesting to read.

In a classic called "Xiandu Zhi", Li Yunsheng saw the origin of the ten states mentioned by his senior brothers. According to legend, among the huge seas in all directions, there are Zuzhou, Yingzhou, Xuanzhou, Yanzhou, Changzhou, Yuanzhou, Liuzhou, Shengzhou, Fenglinzhou, and Jukukuzhou. Yingzhou is the location of the Qinglian Immortal Palace, and it is also the only place where humans and gods live in the past ten thousand years.

Unlike Yingzhou, the other nine continents are rarely visited, with many immortal palaces, countless demon caves and demon residences. The disputes between immortals and demons are endless all year round. Compared with Yingzhou at this time, it is really comfortable.

However, this tranquility was obtained after a long period of chaos in Yingzhou. At that time, Yingzhou not only had monsters rampant on earth, but even the Immortal Palace was not at peace. Countless immortal palaces fought for the blessing land of Lingshan. In the end, it was because of the appearance of a giant "Qinglian Layman", who defeated the major immortal palaces in Yingzhou with one sword, which led to the current Qinglian Immortal Palace.

It is said that after a thousand years, this Qinglian layman finally split the Tianmen with a sword and rode a dragon to become an immortal. The reputation of the Qinglian Immortal Palace has become popular in various states, and the peace of mind in Yingzhou has also been revealed for thousands of years.

Because of the past thousand years of peace, there are many sects of cultivation in the Qinglian Immortal Palace, and sects like Qiushui Sect can only squeeze into the last of the top three! Currently, the three largest sects in the Qinglian Immortal Palace are Qiushui Sect, Ziwei Palace, and Cangyun Sect.

Through these classics of Qiu Shuimen, they divided the seekers into six grades - the Supreme Man, the Spirit Man, the Real Man, the Feitian Zhen Man, and the Supreme Zhen Man.

The first grade is the best, which means the best. This grade must be cultivated to transform essence into qi and be reborn. All the best grades are those with a strong force of thirteen thousand pounds, copper and iron bones, even if they don’t eat for ten days, they will still be full of energy.

In the morning, the "bone change period" in Li Lan's mouth separates the state of the superior. Bone change refers to the practitioner using qi to penetrate the meridians throughout the body, warming up muscles and bones, making people's body feel like they are reborn. In addition to the bone change period, to become a superior, there is also the "birth period". The so-called rebirth is to make the five qi in the body, gather the heart of the elixir to form a elixir.

Only when the transformation is completed can the basic work of practicing essence and qi come to an end.

For those who seek the Tao, it is easy to change their bones, but difficult to be reborn.

It is obvious that Li Yunsheng has completed the bone change stage, but it is really difficult to complete the birth stage. The more he looks down, the more difficult it feels, not because he has no skills, but his immortal vein.

In almost all Taoist sects, there is a prerequisite for completing the period of rebirth - "Those who seek the Tao are not rootless immortal veins." The reason is that the immortal vein has no roots, and the five qi have no place to return, just like a wild dog in the family and a lonely ghost. No matter how high your immortal vein is, there is no hope of rebirth.

For this reason, Li Yunsheng felt sad for a long time.

However, his curiosity quickly wiped out all these melancholy because he saw a ranking of cultivators of the Qinglian Immortal Palace, which is also called the "Ask the Way List". The names of the Baicao lay Buddhists among the top ten are listed. He couldn't help but feel a little surprised. He didn't expect that this old man had the ability to enter the top ten of the list.

Li Yunsheng reads books as fast as ever, even faster than before. In the eyes of others, Li Yunsheng just picked up a book casually and flipped through a few pages, then put it back on the bookshelf. It was not like reading a book but looking for a book.

Before he knew it, it was noon. The woman who registered at the door of the first floor had changed, and Li Lan didn't know where he went. At this time, a white-haired old man walked down from the building. He seemed to be going out, but his eyes inadvertently swept to Li Yunsheng under the bookshelf not far away.
