Chapter 14 Half a Year
The chakras of most cultivators in this world are barren and silent, either dark green or as black as night.
There is only one person in ten thousand who possesses the Wheel Sea Vision, and Zhang Ziling is no exception.
With the help of Li Ying, it took him ten days to sense the sea of suffering and the wheel of life, and he successfully embarked on the path of cultivation.
According to the old man, his speed was already extremely fast, as most people would need several months or even a year and a half to complete the process.
And even more people will never be able to feel the sea of suffering in their entire lives.
Zhang Ziling's speed is worthy of the title of "Immortal Seedling".
However, compared to Chai Xin, who instantly sensed the Sea of Bitterness and the Wheel of Life and even could naturally run the opening chapter of the Tao Te Ching, his speed seems unsurprising.
Li Ying did not feel disappointed. She was content to meet a disciple who possessed the strange vision of the wheel sea and a disciple who was worthy of being called an immortal seedling when her deadline was approaching.
There is no time in cultivation, and half a year has passed quietly.
The past six months have been very peaceful. Chai Xin and Zhang Ziling have never even left the wooden house and bamboo forest, always practicing with great concentration. Li Ying is a competent master, and for the future of the two successors, she has spared no effort.
Ordinary disciples of Jinxia Dongtian only have five or six bottles of "Qionghua Lu" every year to assist in their cultivation.
Not only did she secure immortal seedling spots for her two disciples, allowing each of them to receive ten bottles of Qionghua Lu every month, but she also provided them with all her collections over the years without reservation.
In addition, she did not even report the matter of Chai Xin's strange phenomenon in the sea of wheels to the higher-ups of the sect, but kept it hidden to prevent any malicious people from harming her.
In this way, Chai Xin not only had sufficient resources to practice, but also avoided the danger of being in the spotlight. If the news of his amazing first practice spread, it would surely cause a stir and attract the attention of many parties.
Li Ying also repeatedly warned and supervised them not to advance rashly, but to proceed steadily and lay a solid foundation.
After living together for half a year, Chai Xin and his friend could fully feel the old man's love and care, and they were very obedient.
If it were based on Chai Xin's own cultivation speed, coupled with the resource supply from Jinxia Dongtian and Li Ying, he would have been able to dig out the life long ago, and even begin to condense the "divine pattern" in the sea of suffering.
But he repeatedly suppressed his training speed in order to lay a solid foundation.
Being familiar with the original work, he understands the importance of foundation better than anyone else. Even in the same realm, the difference between a genius and an ordinary cultivator is as different as heaven and earth!
Especially after he discovered the strange phenomenon of his wheel sea, he became even more unwilling to fall behind others.
There is no need to elaborate on the power of Ye Fan's Golden Sea of Bitterness in the original novel.
He didn't expect to be able to achieve success in one go and compete with the Ancient Saint Body right now. But he didn't want to act rashly and delay himself for nothing.
Therefore, over the past six months, I have been following the mysterious method recorded in the opening chapter of the Tao Te Ching to continuously polish the sea of suffering and stimulate the wheel of life.
With the help of the remaining medicinal power in his body, Chai Xin actually achieved quite a lot of results!
Originally, the space occupied by the sea of suffering below the navel was only the size of a mung bean, but now it has expanded to the size of an egg.
The Wheel of Life, which was initially just a hidden purple color, has now become filled with purple air and clouds, turning the entire sea of suffering into purple!
The price he paid was the two Yuanling Pills remaining in Chai Xin's sea of consciousness, as well as the relatively insignificant Qixue Pill.
Fortunately, with the help of the wonderful method in the opening chapter of the Tao Te Ching, he did not age again and turn into a child.
Although the cost is high, the rewards are equally amazing.
Chai Xin has undergone several transformations in the sea of suffering and the wheel of life, and his physique and blood have become incredibly strong.
Two months ago, he had a sparring match with Zhang Ziling, who had surpassed him in realm and had already carved out a spring of life in the sea of suffering. However, the other party couldn't even withstand a single one of his moves!
This made Zhang Ziling, who had been holding back for a long time and felt that he could finally defeat his "senior brother", very depressed and shocked at the same time.
In fact, it was not just him. Even Li Ying, who witnessed the sparring process, felt incredible at the time and became more and more determined to send Chai Xin to the holy land attached to Jinxia Cave Heaven. "I wonder how strong Ye Fan is now. Can my transformed physique fight him?"
In the early morning, Chai Xin sat cross-legged on the roof, restraining the strange phenomena in the sea of wheels caused by the operation of the mysterious method, and muttered to himself while looking at the rising sun.
"Yes, it's been half a year. I don't know how Ye Fan, Pang Bo and other classmates are doing."
Zhang Ziling, who was on the roof of another room, had just finished his practice and looked emotional when he heard this.
Although half a year is not a long time, the two felt as if they were in a different world. Everything on Earth was still vivid in their minds, but it seemed extremely far away.
At this moment, a divine rainbow fell from the sky and landed on the open space in front of the two of them. It was Li Ying who had returned from the Sect Leader.
"You two should pack up and report to Elder Zhou at the mountain gate."
Li Ying spoke in a gentle tone and looked at the two of them with approval.
These two boys are not only extremely talented, but also able to endure loneliness and listen to the teachings sincerely. They have been practicing for half a year without stopping, never leaving the bamboo forest, and have no complaints at all.
"Master, are you finally going to let us out?"
Chai Xin raised his eyebrows slightly, a little surprised.
They knew that Jinxia Cave Heaven would arrange for disciples to go out for training every month. But Li Ying never let them go out, and they never thought that she would take the initiative to ask for it today.
"Where are we going and what kind of assessment is this?" Zhang Ziling asked directly.
The content of each training is different. The accompanying elders will score their performance, and at the end of the year, the status of everyone will be determined based on the overall evaluation of the year.
The higher the evaluation, the higher the status, and naturally one will be able to obtain more cultivation resources.
"Go ask Elder Zhou for details. How can I have the time to ask you about this?"
Li Ying rolled her eyes at the two of them, then began to give them some instructions.
"This is your first time training, and you are inexperienced. You must be careful with your words and actions. Since it is a training, there must be risks. Even if there are elders by your side, they may not be able to protect you all the time."
"Master, rest assured, we will proceed with caution."
Faced with such caring words, Chai Xin and Zhang Ziling were not ungrateful and quickly responded seriously.
Afterwards, the two of them packed up briefly, said goodbye to Li Ying, and headed towards the mountain gate.
There are many disciples participating in the training today, more than thirty people, and they are all lined up in front of the mountain gate in an orderly manner.
"Xin'er, Ziling, we're waiting for you two!"
On the south side of the square, a middle-aged Taoist priest wearing a green robe and with a thin face stood with a sword in his hand. When he saw Chai Xin and the other man, a smile broke out on his serious face.
"This is the first time you two have experienced each other. Don't ask for merit, but just avoid mistakes. Do you understand?"
Actually, this Elder Zhou is Li Ying's junior. The latter had once given him guidance, so he spoke out his advice at this time.
