Su Ru didn't care at the time, but now she understands what it means.
There was a fragmented body-refining method, and a stack of books as tall as a person, each book containing thousands of pages, with countless knowledge about moonlight cultivation and the pathways of the human body's meridians.
She was shocked when she saw it. Even she only half understood it and is still studying "The Secret of Sun and Moon Shining Together - The Essence of Moonlight". There are also about ten other books to come, such as "The Secret of Sun and Moon Shining Together - The Theory of Meridians" and "The Secret of Sun and Moon Shining Together - The Theory of the Human Body".
Moreover, all of these books are reasonable and summarize countless knowledge about spiritual practice.
But it is precisely this that makes these classic texts extremely obscure.
However, Su Ru was too embarrassed to ask Li Qing'an for advice, after all, as the teacher's wife, she also needed to maintain her dignity.
Li Qing'an was unaware of Su Ru's thoughts. He had researched and developed the body-refining method after consulting countless books and classic texts.
It's not so easy to cultivate!
That stack of books was a bit heavy, but the repair was quite impressive and very powerful.
Even Lu Xueqi was able to quickly get started with cultivation a few years ago because he didn't have time at the time and used a Taoist method to teach her.
However, this method has extremely limited limitations to achieve such an effect, so it doesn't matter to Lu Xueqi.
As for the others...
.........
Time flies, and another year has passed.
The Seven Sects Martial Arts Tournament is imminent
Dazhu Peak, Taiji Cave
Li Qing'an sat cross-legged, and the palm-sized Xuanhuo Mirror Jade Ring in front of him continuously produced flames under his activation, nourishing the circular bronze array plate within the flames.
"Om."
The array plate trembled and hummed in the fire, clearly indicating that it was nearing completion.
Seeing this, Li Qing'an slowly withdrew the flames, and finally put the array plate back into his hand, inputting some vital energy to activate it.
Five-colored runes emanated from the array plate, and then spread throughout the entire Taiji Cave in an instant.
"Not bad, the idea of forming an array in an instant is finally showing some promise. Let's call you the Luoshu Array Plate."
Throughout the year, he continued to study the runes on the underwater stone pillars and finally found a way to instantly form an array, although he still needed the assistance of an array plate.
Even so, with the help of this Luoshu array plate, he no longer needed to prepare the array plate in advance. With a thought, he could use all the arrays he had mastered at will, which greatly improved his strength.
Furthermore, the Lesser Five Elements Formation was strengthened and renamed the Five Elements Formation.
Name: Li Qing'an
Location: Central Plains, Qingyun Gate
[Realm]: Second level of the Upper Clarity Realm of the Taiji Profound Clarity Path
[Taoist Techniques]: Five Elements Runes; Illusion Runes; Five Elements Arrays (including Illusion Arrays and Sword Arrays); Rune Techniques; The Complete Treatise on the Harmony of Sun and Moon; The True Technique of Divine Sword Controlling Thunder; The True Technique of Slaying Ghosts and Gods; The Technique of Yin and Yang Harmony; The Five Elements Sword Intent; Qingyun Sect Taoist Techniques
[Work-Rest Balance]: When you maintain a proper balance between work and rest, the longer your rest time, the stronger the effects of your practice. Current rest time: 30 days and 4 hours.
Based on his Five Elements Sword Intent and Five Elements Formation combination, Li Qing'an developed a new formation – the Five Elements Sword Formation.
Most of his formation techniques are based on the Five Elements.
Once the formation is activated, the Five Elements Sword Intent transforms into various Five Elements objects. If one is not careful while in the formation, one will be injured. Furthermore, the sword intent is based on the principle of mutual generation of the Five Elements, ensuring that the sword intent is inexhaustible.
This can be considered Li Qing'an's biggest gain during this period, apart from the Luoshu Formation Plate.
Besides that, it was only during this year that he remembered to learn the Divine Sword Thunder Control Technique.
This adds another skill to our repertoire.
"dong dong dong"
Just then, a soft knocking sound came from the cave entrance.
Then another unruly shout came from outside the door.
"Junior brother, Master has told us to assemble and prepare for the Seven Sects Martial Arts Tournament."
Li Qing'an immediately recognized him as Du Bishu, who had gone down the mountain to search for magical treasures and had returned while he was refining the formation.
Li Qing'an stood up, retrieved the Xuanhuo Mirror and the Luoshu Array Plate, and then walked out of the cave.
"Crack!"
The stone door at the cave entrance slowly opened, and Du Bishu stood outside, grinning at Li Qing'an.
"Why are you back?"
Li Qingan looked at Du Bishu, whom he hadn't seen for almost five years, and asked.
Du Bishu stared wide-eyed, with a look that said, "What are you talking about?"
"The Seven Sects Martial Arts Tournament is tomorrow, and you're asking me why I came back?"
Du Bishu was displeased and looked at Li Qingan.
Li Qingan stretched and walked out of the cave towards Shoujing Hall, teasingly looking at the dice magic weapon in his hand.
"If you don't put in a little more effort this time, your master will be furious with your magic weapon."
Du Bishu didn't care at all. Instead, he said happily, "Junior brother, isn't that what we need? Just get first place in the martial arts competition for Master. He'll be grinning from ear to ear."
"They won't have time to care about me then!"
"..."
Chapter 58 Spirit Pearl, Seven Sects Martial Arts Tournament Begins
The two arrived at Shoujing Hall in a short while. Tian Buyi saw that everyone had arrived and began to give them his final encouragement before the martial arts competition.
Unlike the previous year, Tian Buyi was all smiles this time, looking quite pleased with himself!
Li Qing'an reached the Upper Qing Realm a year ago, so wouldn't he be even stronger now!
Moreover, he had already inquired and found out that the highest level of the disciples in this Seven Peaks Martial Arts Tournament had only reached the ninth level of the Jade Purity Realm.
Based on his analysis of Li Qingan's abilities, it can be summed up in one word!
powerful! Invincible!
The first place in the martial arts competition was already a sure thing for Dazhu Peak, so how could he not be happy?
Bringing glory to our ancestors! Bringing glory to our ancestors!
Tian Buyi was so happy he slapped his thigh!
Seeing Tian Buyi's smile, Song Daren and the others below breathed a sigh of relief.
"Since Master is so happy, I hope I won't be punished if my grades aren't good!"
Tian Ling'er was unaware of their thoughts. She turned her head slightly to look at Li Qing'an, her slender fingers constantly stroking the beads on her snow-white neck. She was full of fighting spirit and planned to show off her skills at the Seven Veins Martial Arts Tournament!
We also need to let Li Qingan see how she has grown.
This bead is the enhanced version of the Cooling Bead that Li Qingan promised before.
It is beautifully named - Lingze Pearl.
When Li Qing'an was refining it, he used beauty-enhancing materials such as pearls from the East China Sea and materials that could cleanse the mind, so that it could beautify the skin and remove distracting thoughts!
When Li Qing'an was refining, he made a total of four. He gave one to Tian Ling'er, and as a grown man, he naturally didn't need the remaining three, so he gave them to Lu Xueqi, Su Ru, and Shui Yue!
However, this Spirit Pearl was originally promised to be refined for Tian Ling'er, but now it has been given to Lu Xueqi instead, which makes her very resentful!
I plan to thoroughly learn from Lu Xueqi's skills at the Seven Peaks Martial Arts Tournament!
.......
Xiaozhu Peak, Moon-Viewing Terrace
Ever since Lu Xueqi and Li Qingan met here twice, this place has become her training ground.
At this moment, Lu Xueqi held Tianya in her hand and danced gracefully on the stage. Her long sword thrust and parried, her white clothes fluttered, and her appearance was like that of a fairy. Her indifferent expression made her seem more like a fairy from the Moon Palace descending to earth.
As she danced, the beads tied with a red string on her fair wrist were faintly visible.
Outside the Moon Gazing Terrace, Shuiyue watched Lu Xueqi's swordsmanship with a smile on her face, clearly very satisfied!
There may only be a handful of opponents in this year's Seven Veins Tournament!
One is Qi Hao, and the other is naturally Li Qing'an.
Given Li Qing'an's extraordinary talent, even if Shuiyue didn't want to agree, the chances of winning first place in the Seven Peaks Martial Arts Tournament were already half in his hands!
With this thought in mind, Shuiyue touched a cool bead in her sleeve. Such a bead that could beautify the skin was naturally something that any woman would desire.
Therefore, she did not refuse when Li Qing'an gave her the beads before!
"So, I owe you something?" Shuiyue thought of the lightning bolt from a year ago, and her heart couldn't help but ripple.
"Shh!"
At this moment, Lu Xueqi brought down her sword, unleashing the sword energy she had been gathering for so long. Then she sheathed her sword, stood up, and looked at Shuiyue beside her.
"Indeed, you should be able to bring fame to my Little Bamboo Peak in this Seven Peaks Martial Arts Tournament."
"Yes, Master!" Lu Xueqi arrived gracefully, stood before Shuiyue, and bowed to her.
“I know you are stubborn. If you encounter your brother during the martial arts competition, you must not force your way through.”
Shuiyue thought for a moment and then said, "I don't want to end up hurting myself instead of winning!"
Lu Xueqi remained silent. She naturally knew that Li Qing'an had broken through to the Shangqing Realm, far beyond what she could currently compare to. However, she was determined to fulfill the promise made at Wangyue Terrace five years ago.
She needs to know how much worse she is than him so that she can strive to catch up.
She didn't want to stand behind Li Qing'an for the rest of her life, watching him fight in front of her.
"Hey!"
Seeing this, Shuiyue sighed and said no more.
The two siblings, one running wildly ahead, and the other chasing after them.
One person is running wildly toward their goal, afraid they can't keep up; the other is afraid they can't keep up!
