Chapter 81 Treasure Selection

The two doors in front of them are vermilion red and appear to be made of an unknown hard wood. They are three to four feet high, which makes Zheng Fa standing in front of the door feel a little small.

He took two steps closer, and the door opened without any wind and without any sound.

There are no traces of artificial decoration inside the door, but a stalactite cave with jagged and jagged rocks. Walking in the cave feels like you are in a somewhat magical rain forest.

Dozens of rocks that look like mountain bamboo shoots rise from the ground, with various colors of light floating at the tips of the bamboo shoots. They are obviously the treasures left behind by the previous Nine Mountains Ancestor.

There are not many treasures, and compared to the exaggeratedly large two doors, they seem a bit shabby.

Nine Mountains Ancestor also followed the door and looked at the streamers and sighed, "I haven't seen these old things left by the old man for a long time."

Zheng Fa sounded a little confused and couldn't help but ask, "Founder, can't you come in yourself?"

"Me?" Nine Mountains Patriarch pointed at himself. "I am not him. I am Spirit Vein, I am Nine Mountains, but not him. All I have is all his memories..."

Zheng Fa It suddenly dawned on me.

He thought it was strange when he saw this Nine Mountains Patriarch before.

He is obviously the founder of Founder, but his character is like that of a child.

"If you really want to say who I am," Nine Mountains Patriarch smiled weirdly, "I'm just a stand-in who can't live without Nine Mountains Sect. I even look like the Law Treasure he created."

"He wanted to fuse this True Form Talisman, but couldn't let go of the Nine Mountains Sect, so he created me..." Nine Mountains Patriarch had a complicated expression when talking about the original Founder: "Sometimes, I don't know whether to regard him as the father who gave birth to me, or the owner who put the dog leash around my neck."

"Let's not talk about this anymore." Nine Mountains Patriarch seemed to sigh and said to Zheng Fa, "You have such a talent. According to what the old man left for me, you can get two treasures from here."

"How to get it?"

Zheng Fa tried to see clearly the treasures in the flowing light, but the light obscured the shapes of the treasures.

"It depends on fate!"

"Ah?" Zheng Fa was stunned, isn't this a bit hasty?

"Or maybe it's luck." Nine Mountains Patriarch rolled his eyes. "The old man doesn't have any clever ideas. He doesn't know who will come, let alone what you need. His treasures may not be suitable for you... but the treasures have their own senses. If you go around, if there is something that makes you feel special, it may be useful to you."

Zheng Fa heard this and walked towards the cave, trying to find the special feeling Nine Mountains Patriarch said.

But most of the treasures were very cold. When he walked in front of these flowing lights, he felt nothing but dazzling eyes.

It was like this throughout most of the cave. Zheng Fa even had some doubts about whether Nine Mountains Patriarch was tricking him.

Until he came to a treasure with lapis lazuli light.

The energy belonging to Spirit Crane Body in his body suddenly became excited and ran wildly inside his body, seeming to be venting an instinctive desire.

The phantom of a spiritual crane appeared behind him, its wings spread out, as if it wanted to plunge into the green-gold flowing light.

"Huh?" Nine Mountains Patriarch immediately understood what was going on. "Have you ever practiced <Spirit Crane Body>?"

"Yes."

"Wood fire Dual-Spirit Root, Spirit Crane Body... No wonder this Azure Yang Energy makes you feel something." Nine Mountains Patriarch pointed his finger, and the green gold light gradually dissipated, leaving only a group of cyan air with a little golden flame, flowing slowly in front of Zheng Fa.

"Azure Yang Energy?"

"Well, back then, the old man transformed into the Nine Mountains, and the trees in the mountains burst into life. He interacted with the great sun Spiritual Qi, and gave birth to this Azure Yang Energy, which he collected as a treasure." Nine Mountains Patriarch explained, "I didn't expect to meet you, but you are quite suitable."

"Suitable?"

"You are Fire-Wood Dual-Spirit Root, Azure Yang Energy was born from the interaction between the sun and the vegetation, which corresponds to your Spirit Root talent. What's more, you have also practiced Spirit Crane Body."

Zheng Fa somewhat understands why Azure Yang Energy corresponds to his own Spirit Root, but Spirit Crane Body?

He looked at Nine Mountains Patriarch in confusion.

"All things in heaven and earth correspond to Spiritual Opportunity. The crane is white in color and extremely pure and yang. Some monks call it the yang bird and regard it as a symbol of longevity. Spirit Crane Body was created based on the pure yang Dao Body."

Nine Mountains Patriarch moved his fingers, and Azure Yang Energy fell in front of Zheng Fa: "This Azure Yang Energy is extremely rare, otherwise the old man would not keep it in his hand until his death. If you were Foundation Establishment Realm was able to practice a Pure Yang Body-Refinement Art before. By integrating this Azure Yang Energy, I am afraid that Postcelestial Realm can become Azure Yang Dao Body, which will be of great benefit to you in the future."

Zheng Fa stretched out his hand, and the Azure Yang Energy flew into Zheng Fa's palm like a baby swallow falling into the forest, and entered his Dantian along the meridians.

This Azure Yang Energy is extremely domineering. After entering Dantian, he seems to regard this place as his own home. The Spirit Crane Body energy that was originally trained by Zheng Fa is squeezed out and has no place to stay. He can only cling to the edge of Dantian aggrievedly.

But Zheng Fa also had a vague feeling that the energy in his body seemed to be slowly penetrated by this Azure Yang Energy, and there were some different changes, as if he was a little more lively.

After getting Azure Yang Energy, Zheng Fa no longer has such good luck.

The other treasures ignored him, and his body didn't react at all. There was an awkward tacit understanding that they didn't like each other.

"Well..." Nine Mountains Patriarch frowned and said, "These treasures are not destined for you, so you can only look at the Cultivation Method left by this old man."

He waved his hand, and a bunch of Jade Slip appeared in front of Zheng Fa.

"Take your pick."

"?"

Zheng Fa was confused for a moment, no, this is more mysterious than the one just now, how should I choose?

"Actually, Cultivation Method will be less helpful to you than the treasures - that old man is a different kind of enlightenment, and not many people can practice Cultivation Method. This is why I let you pick the treasures first."

Nine Mountains Patriarch explained.

Zheng Fa nodded. There are many treasures that can be used immediately, but Cultivation Method picks people.

Especially with Nine Mountains Patriarch's outrageous background, his cultivation path is definitely different from that of normal people.

"But there are some formations here, or Talisman Arts might be suitable for you." Nine Mountains Patriarch pointed at the pile of Jade Slip and said, "The female disciple before was quite clever. She picked an unperfected Foundation Establishment method, which might be suitable for her practice."

"Not perfect?" Zheng Fa was refreshed and understood what Senior Sister Zhang was thinking - since it can't be practiced, why don't I just get a semi-finished product and make some changes?

He is determined to continue learning Senior Sister Zhang.

"Don't think about it, that old man doesn't have so much leisure - that Foundation Establishment method was created casually by the old man when he was enlightening True Form Talisman." Nine Mountains Patriarch seemed to have remembered something. "Speaking of which, I was actually created at that time."

"?"

"The old man also created a Spirit Mountain Method at that time. He originally changed from Spirit Vein to Dao Assimilation and made Dao Body. Later, he reversed his own cultivation process and created Spirit Mountain Method, the purpose of Spirit Mountain Method is that Dao Body is the spiritual mountain, the meridians are Spirit Vein, and the human body is used to replace the heaven and earth to provide for the Nine Mountains Sect's cultivation, and that's how I came to be."

"This Spirit Mountain Method is of no use to you. This is a method of making wedding dresses for others. You..."

"This disciple wants this Spirit Mountain Method."

Zheng Fa said suddenly.

Nine Mountains Patriarch looked at him with complicated eyes. "I misjudged you..."

"?"

Zheng Fa I don't understand why the other party said that.

"I thought you were a complicated person and secretly corrupt. I, Nine Mountains Sect, am already impetuous enough. If you join Nine Mountains Sect again, then I, Nine Mountains Sect, will..."

... You have scolded a lot of people.

"But I was wrong. When the old man created this Spirit Mountain Method, he said that this is a Cultivation Method that only people with selfless hearts and great virtues will choose to practice. There may even be no one in the world who would choose this Cultivation Method practices..." Nine Mountains Patriarch looked at Zheng Fa with admiration in his eyes. "I feel now that I, Nine Mountains Sect, am not worthy of you!"

Zheng Fa thinks there are some beautiful misunderstandings here.

For him, there is only one reason to choose Spirit Mountain Method:

This Cultivation Method solved a big problem for him - how to create Spiritual Qi in Modern World safely and controllably.
