Chapter 4 "Turtle's Breath"
In a daze, the young Taoist priest suddenly saw a Taoist standing outside the door, wearing a gossip Taoist robe, with a dark face and a miserable expression.
Where did this Taoist come from? Why have I never seen it before? The young Taoist priest was confused and waved to him and said, "This Taoist fellow is polite. I don't know what is the price to do when visiting late at night?"
The black-faced Taoist looked at the young Taoist priest with a bitter face, but what he said was shocking, "Don't you recognize me? Just now, your master wanted to use my inner elixir to set up a formation, refine the magic crystals in my body into pills, and treat you!"
This black-faced Taoist was actually transformed from that jade turtle!
The Taoist priest couldn't hide his shock and almost jumped up from the chair. There were many records in the book about the transformation of monsters, but when all this appeared in front of him, he was still deeply shocked.
"You are really the jade turtle outside the door? You have only experienced the tribulation twice, how could you transform now?"
"I know a lot!" The black-faced Taoist priest walked into the room, laughed twice, and said, "Don't forget, I have magical powers. Although I have all lost all my magical powers, my magical powers will not be affected. You are also a person with magical powers, and you should be able to understand what I mean."
The young Taoist priest thought for a moment and realized that what the other party was talking about was his ear magic power. Once this ear magic power was cultivated, it would be more like a kind of ability and could be used without magic power.
But what kind of magical power does this jade turtle use? Logically speaking, it is far from the level of transformation and cannot appear in human form... The young Taoist priest suddenly had a lit up his eyes and said in surprise: "Soul-catching, you are using Soul-catching! In other words, you are in my dream now!"
"You guy is so good at seeing! Not bad, it's the soul-catching." Seeing that the young Taoist priest was calm, Yugui nodded secretly, and sighed and said, "I have paid a considerable price to use this magical power..."
The sudden appearance of Jade Turtle did shock the Taoist priest, but he wandered between life and death for many years and quickly recovered his calmness. He said without a doubt: "Fellow Taoist Yu Turtle, you have worked hard to enter my dream. What kind of advice do you have?"
"Call me Yu Zhenzi," said the black-faced Taoist priest walking to the recliner in the corner, laying down comfortably, with an ugly smile on his face, and said, "What do you call me little brother?"
"My name is Yan Jie," the young Taoist priest sighed and said, "I guess you know too. I have to undergo two heavenly tribulations every month, so my name is Yan Jie."
"I checked it when I came in. There are indeed alien souls in your body, so it attracted thunder tribulation. But I am very curious, how could you survive under the thunder for more than ten years? Logically speaking, this is impossible!" Yu Zhenzi's doubts make sense. It has survived two thunder tribulations, and each time it is a life-threatening death. The young man in front of him has persisted for more than ten years under the thunder tribulation, and he has never heard of it.
"It's just the power of the formation, what's the point!" Yan Jie's method of passing through the tribulation is a secret, how could it be easily revealed? He responded casually, then changed the topic and said, "You must have something to come to me, just say it. However, I can't let you go, after all, this is related to my wealth and life. Although you have soul-catching, at most it's just to scare me in a dream. As long as I'm not surprised, you can't hurt a single hair! I've been making a life between life and death since I was a child. I think it's not easy to scare me. I advise you not to ask for trouble..."
Yu Zhenzi was shocked. Unexpectedly, Yan Jie was so familiar with the soul-catching magical power, which completely failed its previous plan.
Yu Zhenzi squinted her eyes and looked at Yan Jie. Her eyes rolled, and her face looked gloomy and gloomy. She was indecisive for a moment. Yan Jie sat leisurely on the chair, looking very relaxed, but in fact she was ready.
After a long time, Yumako sighed and said, ""Man is the pedestal, I am the fish." Now I have become a prisoner at the bottom of the ranks. Life and death are related to your thoughts. This is just to save your life!"
"To save your life? Then let's talk about it..." Yan Jie felt relieved. Yu Zhenzi should know the reason why his master arrested him. He said this, is there a way to deal with alien souls?
I heard Yu Zhenzi say, "You also know that I have the soul-catching magical power. After I restore my cultivation, I will use this magical power with all my strength, and I can merge the alien soul for you in a stick of incense. At that time, not only will you not have to be troubled by the heavenly tribulation, but you will also get great benefits from it. What do you think?"
"Your proposal is insincere, only a fool will agree. You are a divine beast, Jade turtle, with powerful magical powers. Once you recover, once you turn against me, I am afraid that my master and I will die here! Besides, even if you trust and fulfill the contract, it is difficult to guarantee that you will not retaliate in the future. Instead of doing so, it is better to use your crystal to refine elixirs. Not only is the risk much smaller, you don't have to worry about changing in the future..." Yan Jie shook his head in disappointment and rejected Yu Zhenzi's proposal.
If Yu Zhenzi's bottom line is to use magical powers to cure his injuries, then there is no need for Yan Jie to continue talking to him. Cultivators who have always been killed when encountering divine turtles. On the one hand, it is because the divine turtles are full of treasures, and if they are used well, they can greatly increase the strength of the cultivator; on the other hand, it is also because the eight divine turtles are vindictive and are definitely not good. Yu Zhenzi's capture of the tribulation can be regarded as a great shame for him. If he lets him go rashly, it is like letting him return to the mountain, with endless troubles.
"You kid are honest. If you have something to say, you are much better than the hypocrites in the world." Yu Zhenzi was not angry, but instead laughed. Although the young Taoist priest in front of him rejected his proposal, he did not say anything. This means that there is still a turning point.
The Taoist priest smiled and said, "Although I am not a gentleman, I keep my word. However, my time is precious, and I will study the way to crack the earth veins. If you don't have any constructive suggestions, I will not accompany you."
This kid is really difficult to deal with! He doesn’t get in, and he really underestimated him just now!
Yu Zhenzi hurriedly stood up from the recliner and said, "Why are you anxious, little brother? I came with a generous gift, and I am also considered a VIP. This is not a way to entertain guests."
This jade turtle really treats himself as a human being, and he speaks with a polite word. However, when it comes to talking, Yan Jie has never been afraid of anyone, so he immediately retorted: "Fellow Taoists disturb people's dreams for no reason, and they can only be considered uninvited guests. How can they be considered as distinguished guests?"
Yu Zhenzi was stunned and was almost unable to speak. He smiled bitterly and said, "I heard the conversation between your master and those villagers during the day. As long as my little brother can spare my life, I will lose my energy and immediately merge the alien soul for you. As for the method of setting up a formation, I can also solve it for you."
Yan Jie would not agree to let the jade turtle cast spells on his soul, but when it comes to setting up the formation, the Taoist priest's eyes lit up: "You can set up the formation? The Qingyang Mountain veins are disordered, and ordinary Feng Shui formations cannot be used!"
There is a door! Seeing that the Taoist was curious about the formation, Yu Zhenzi felt aroused and quickly explained: "After experiencing this thunder tribulation, I began to awaken some memories, including a set of 'Xuanwu Lianshan Formation'! This formation originated from the demon world and is very different from your human formation. It can be free from the influence of the earth veins, and it is both offensive and defensive, and it is extremely magical. As long as you learn this formation, everything is no problem!"
Yan Jie frowned and said, "Is the 'Xuanwu Lianshan Formation' a mountain protection formation of the Seven Stars Sect? How did it become the memory inheritance of your Jade Turtle Clan? It is recorded in the book "Seven Stars Sect Origins": This formation communicates with the power of Xuanwu and the power of the stars. It is indeed not affected by the earth veins. However, this formation can only be set up by the disciples of the Seven Stars Sect who practice star power, and only they can drive it. I don't understand star power at all, so I naturally cannot communicate with Xuanwu, let alone set up the formation... Are you coaxing me when you say this?"
"Don't be anxious, please listen to me in detail..." Seeing Yan Jie showing a suspicious look, Yu Zhenzi hurriedly explained: "The Seven Star Sect does have the Xuanwu Lianshan Formation, but it is not the same as me! I don't know that this Xuanwu Lianshan Formation was originally a secret magic array in the demon world. After the Yu Turtle clan mastered the floating talent, he could communicate the power of stars, so he could drive this formation. However, in the battle between the two tribes seven thousand years ago, a human cultivator secretly learned this magic array from the demon clan and created a method to communicate star power, so that the human race could also set up this formation. This person later founded the sect and became the ancestor of the Seven Star Sect, so that the Xuanwu Lianshan Formation became the mountain protection formation of the Seven Star Sect. This matter is absolutely true, and there is no false statement!"
So that's it. Yan Jie secretly praised in his heart that this Seven-Star Sect ancestor was able to change the formation of the demon world into a human race formation and also created a brand new cultivation method. He was really amazing!
"Does Fellow Yu Zhenzi want the seniors who are studying the Seven Star Sect to transform the formations of the nobles and create their own methods to communicate the power of Xuanwu?!" Yan Jie asked himself that he was not as good as the ancestors, so this Xuanwu Lianshan formation was useless to him.
Yu Zhenzi never thought that the little Taoist priest in this poor mountain valley was well versed in the formation, and even knew the secret "Xuanwu Lianshan Formation" of the Seven Star Sect. He wanted to take the opportunity of teaching the formation to delay time, but the other party saw it out on the spot.
Seeing that Yan Jie's eyes were becoming more and more suspicious, Yu Zhenzi was anxious and immediately gritted her teeth and said, "Well, since I am going through the tribulation, how can I escape unstoppable every time! God is so will, I will do my best! Brother Yan Jie, let's not go around, I will tell the bottom line. If you don't accept it, then we will slap it apart! At worst, I will give up this body of skin and turn it into spiritual cultivation. Anyway, I have realized the floating magical power, and you can't stop your soul from leaving!"
"It should have been like this long ago!" Yan Jie said, but his heart became more and more alert. The jade turtle is good at calculating and will be obsessed with its way if it is not paid attention. It must be handled with caution.
Yu Zhenzi sighed and said, "First of all, you are worried that the Divine Turtle clan will revenge. I don't deny this. However, I can burn a wisp of my soul to swear, and I will never take revenge in the future. The Vow of the Spirit cannot be violated, otherwise I will be punished by God. You should know this!"
The Taoist priest nodded. The Soul Oath is an extremely heavy oath. Once it is violated, there will be danger of soul scattering. Yu Zhenzi can take the initiative to raise the Soul Oath, which does reflect sincerity. Yan Jie thought about it and said, "The Soul Oath is indeed a necessary condition, and I agree. However, I will not agree to you cast spells on my soul, and you must understand this."
Yu Zhenzi didn't think it was strange to what the Taoist said. The boy in front of him was a difficult person. He didn't have enough temptation conditions and could not touch the other party at all. Yu Zhenzi nodded and said, "If you don't want me to cast spells, that's okay. I have another way to help you relieve your troubles. This method will be of great benefit to you. I believe you won't refuse!"
"Oh? What's the solution?" the Taoist priest asked calmly.
"The Jade Turtle is born to practice, because our clan has a bloodline inheritance. Once the clan members have spiritual wisdom, a "Turt Breath True Sutra" will appear in their minds, which is the basis of our clan's cultivation. However, this sutra is extremely mysterious and cannot be understood by not my clan. Only the Jade Turtle Clan can awaken the memory in the bloodline by passing the tribulation to understand the mystery of the sutra. At present, I have comprehended the first two chapters of the "Turt Breath True Sutra", and the first chapter contains the content of refining the spirit. Although you and I are alien races, the soul is the same. This "Turt Breath True Sutra" does not involve physical body, and you can also practice. If you promise to let me go, I will teach it to you. After you practice, you can merge your soul and benefit endlessly!" Yu Zhenzi stared at Yan Jie's eyes, hoping to see Yan Jie's thoughts from it. At this time, Yan Jie's decision is not only related to its life, but also closely related to its future destiny.
Yan Jie was indeed moved. He understood the principle of giving people fishing, and even knew that the preciousness of this "Turt Breath True Sutra" was emerging in the world of cultivation, but the skills that inherit the talents of the demon clan, such as the "Turt Breath True Sutra", are definitely rare.
Without waiting for Yan Jie to respond, Yu Zhenzi then made a more harsh promise: "As for the formation problem that Yan Jie is worried about, I can also solve it together! I can promise to teach you the "Xuanwu Lianshan Formation" of the demon clan to you and help you successfully set it up."
Yan Jieqi said: "Can you have a way to let me communicate with Xingli?"
Yu Zhenzi shook her head and said, "I am not the ancestor of the Seven Star Sect, how could I come up with such a despicable method at the moment? However, if I sealed me into the formation when I set up the formation and I act as a medium for communicating the star power, it is naturally no problem to complete the magic array!"
Yan Jie was shocked. He never expected Yu Zhenzi to make such a suggestion. You should know that entering the array eye means being imprisoned, which is no different from being slaughtered. Seeing that Yu Zhenzi's face was full of firmness, Yan Jie himself was a little confused, "Fellow Daoist is willing to make such a big sacrifice?"
"Why, my little brother doesn't believe it?" Seeing Yan Jie calling him a "Daoist Fellow", Yu Zhenzi breathed a sigh of relief, and finally moved the boy! He said slowly: "However, I am willing to do this, and there are conditions!"
Yan Jie nodded and said, "Fellow Taoist please tell me."
Yu Zhenzi smiled bitterly and said, "My little brother should know that our Jade Turtle clan has to overcome the thunder tribulation every five hundred years, and every tribulation is a life-and-death life. I have limited qualifications, and even if I try hard to practice, I will almost fall under this thunder tribulation. The next heavenly tribulation will come, I am afraid it will be even more difficult to overcome. My little brother is gifted and can withstand the thunder tribulation for ten years with his qi cultivation. It is simply terrifying! If my little brother can teach me the method of thunder tribulation, or help me when I pass the tribulation, I will immediately fulfill those three promises and never break my promise!"
Yan Jie sighed in his heart that Yu Zhenzi is worthy of being an old turtle that has lived for a thousand years, and has a profound plan! If he helps it through the tribulation, let alone staying in the formation for three hundred years, it will make a profit for five hundred years!
"The Legend of Foreign Objects" records that after the jade turtle survives three thunder tribulations, it can master a new magical power - "distinguishing evil". This magical power is very unhealthy and has all the responses to every thought. With its strength at that time, it no longer has to be afraid of thunder tribulations.
Yan Jie frowned and said, "I can agree to your conditions, but it will be fulfilled in three hundred years. If I unfortunately die there, my master will teach you the method of passing the tribulation. However, how fast is the practice of the "Turt Breath True Sutra"? If it takes too long and you will die in the thunder tribulation before you can merge, it will be useless."
Yu Zhenzi quickly explained: "Don't worry about this little brother! The "Shen Refining Chapter" refines the soul and the consciousness, and the difficulty lies in comprehending. Once you understand the cultivation method, you will enter the state very quickly. With me to give you guidance, you will save time for comprehending and you can practice it by hand. You can merge the alien souls in your body in less than a month!"
Yan Jie nodded. If you can merge the alien souls after practicing for one month, it is completely acceptable. As long as you can withstand the next thunder tribulation, you can completely relieve your worries. This risk is worth taking.
"Okay, I promise you!"
