"This Narcissus Cave Abode can be considered a good place for retreat and practice. Unfortunately, this place itself is a secret space, not a real world. Otherwise, I could have set up a magic altar here, refined <Eight Lives Eight Deaths Demonic Secret Art> and then left..."

To break through the Daoist realm and become a Daoist master, you must go through the "Celestial Person induction" level, and this level is very difficult. Ninety percent of Daoist masters will be stuck at the Celestial Person induction level and will never be able to break through the Daoist realm.

What is Celestial Person induction?

If this world is compared to a person, if a monk can sense the person's pulse and heartbeat, this is Celestial Person induction. It is undoubtedly extremely difficult to achieve Celestial Person induction.

In some Daoist scriptures, the Celestial Person induction in the Daoist realm is also called the "Xuan Pass of Life and Death", which means that this pass is equivalent to passing through the calamity of life and death.

Many advanced Daoist masters went into retreat, intending to break the Celestial Person barrier, but due to failure, they became Qi Deviation and never recovered.

However, this situation is relatively good. Qi Deviation can still save his life, but it is more because he fails to break through the Tao realm. He is dying, and the Tao of life and death disappears. What is even more terrifying is that if the practice is not the correct method, or there are serious mistakes in the practice, unimaginable "ominous" will happen...

"After all, the small world of the secret realm is not the big world outside. The Principle of this secret realm is completely different from the big world. Naturally, you cannot get promoted here."

He Ping sighed slightly and continued to study the booklet in his hand, studying the living puppet sacrificial techniques recorded on it.

"Judging from this article about Secret Method refining the 'living puppet', Immortal Puppet Sect's later method of improving Daoism is not only to make others into puppets, but also to turn himself into a puppet, because many powerful Law Technique can only be performed with the help of a puppet body!"

For example, "Body-Shifting Curse", in addition to being able to move objects into shadows, in the advanced stages of practice, it can also transform itself into shadows, perform the flying Shadow Escape technique, and use shadows to hide and escape, which is very wonderful.

However, "Body-Shifting Curse" can only remove dead objects, but cannot move living objects in, so it can only refine itself into a "living puppet" before it can use this Law Technique to perform the flying Shadow Escape method, thus becoming invisible and invisible.

He Ping stayed in Narcissus Cave Abode for half a month, studied the Narcissus Cave Abode carefully, and then left cautiously.

Narcissus Cave Abode is located in a secret world, and its entrance is the stone well in the village "Wanan Village". Wanan Village itself is located in a hidden mountain and has not been exposed for eight hundred years. In addition, this village has set up a mystery, so no one will notice the secret here.

As for the control hub of Narcissus Cave Abode, it is the ancient seal and talisman. As long as you master these two treasures, you can enter and exit at will.

As for cave abode itself, under his control, it was flooded with water from the underground river. After cave abode was submerged, even if outsiders sneaked into this secret realm through the stone well, they would not be able to escape underwater.

Nine-Orifice Immortal Fetus was also taken away by him and hid in his shadow. This fairy fetus was a treasure, and he was not at ease if it was left in cave abode, because the owner of Narcissus Cave Abode seemed to be planning to come back after his reincarnation, and use the hatched and mature Nine-Orifice Immortal Fetus to be promoted to the rank of earthly immortal.

On the other hand, He Ping has no nostalgia for this cave abode, because this cave abode was originally arranged by the master of cave abode, and the method of arranging the formation belongs to the secret technique of Lower Origin Cave Yin Lineage.

Lower Origin Cave Yin Lineage has been missing for hundreds of years, and there is very little information related to it. After careful consideration, he decided to seal it up and try not to have too much contact with Narcissus Cave Abode.

"Exploring the ruins of the Sanyuan Devil Palace, in addition to my senior brother, Qi Soul Sect's Granny Miaohua and Purple Armor Hall's also died Wumeizi, Ghost Cry Sect's Old Kiln Ghost... These people should be considered strong masters in the sect. I hope they won't cause me any more trouble after they die!"

After finishing the aftermath, he drove the paper puppet, got on Paper Sedan, left Western Wasteland Province, and prepared to return to Jinhe Prefecture Longhe County.

Longhe County.

In the mansion that He Family moved into, He Ping was sitting on the Taishi chair, sipping tea brewed on a small red clay stove while admiring the falling snow outside the courtyard.

He Family has always been luxurious. The porcelain used is precious Jun kiln porcelain, and the drink is covered with stone flowers. Even the tea drinking is extremely elegant: first, the tea cakes must be roasted, then put into a tea grinder and ground into powder. Then take the clear spring water from the mountain and put it into the tea cauldron, put it on the stove and boil it until "the water bubbles like fish eyes", then add the tea powder - only the tea brewed in this way is fragrant and has an excellent taste, making it the best of the best.

"Cooking snow to enjoy tea, and red stove to warm wine" are the enjoyments that only wealthy people can enjoy. The cold air blowing from Northern Pass Circuit's Floating Cloud Mountain Range went all the way south and rolled down. There was also heavy snow in the Guanzhong area. The entire Longhe County city was already covered with snow, and even the river water was completely frozen.

"Guan Nei is a place with unique customs and a pleasant climate. I didn't expect that this heavy snowfall would even freeze the river water. I'm afraid the cold inside Northern Pass Circuit will be even more severe and life may not be easy."

The housekeeper He Fusheng also changed into a thick leather jacket. He looked at the heavy snow and couldn't help but shook his head.

He is the butler of the He Family, so he can afford to wear this fur coat made of bearskin. Instead, those ordinary people can only use hemp paper and mulberry paper to make paper clothes and paper coats to survive the winter.

This is for families with good conditions. Those who are even poorer are not even willing to change into a new piece of clothing on weekdays. I am afraid that they cannot even change into paper clothes and jackets, so this winter will be more difficult.

"Yes, the snow is so heavy and the rivers are frozen. It may be difficult to travel on the roads, and it will also be difficult to do business during this period..."

He Ping put down the tea cup, closed the bone china lid, and turned to look to the other side.

"Qi Baiyi, are you here?"

"Yes."

Qi Baiyi hurriedly walked in from the side door of the inner hall, and was also surprised.

"Sir, when did you know I was coming?"

He did not come in through the main entrance, but secretly used Qing Kung Fu to fly in. His movements were very dexterous. Who would have expected that before he reached the inner hall, he would hear the voice of He Ping calling him outside, so he was surprised.

"You were still outside the mansion when I heard some noise."

He Ping smiled.

"I have recently practiced a new magical skill, which has miraculous effects on people's ears and eyes. After practicing it, you can hear subtle sounds from all directions and see thousands of subtle lights. Your internal skills and light skills are very good, and you can't even say that 'the wild goose passes without leaving a trace, and the wind passes without a shadow'. However, when you passed through the ridge of the house, the sound of falling snowflakes falling on your shoulders was difficult to conceal."

Qi Baiyi was also shocked when he heard this. He was more confident in his Qinggong than Swordsmanship. If he restrained his voice when performing Qinggong, he could even eliminate the sound of clothes breaking through the air, but he did not expect that the sound of falling snow would reveal his movements.

"Daoism is really terrifying. It is said that monks with advanced skills can summon wind and rain, move mountains and fill seas, and fly into the dark world... But I have never seen any of these, but these kinds of hearing and vision abilities are beyond the reach of martial arts."

Qi Baiyi I heard that in the ancient times, there were examples of people who became immortals through martial arts. That was different from Daoist masters who practiced Daoism. It was a different path. However, today, those are just ridiculous rumors, almost myths.

"However, if a person's ears and eyes are too good, it will not be a good thing." He Ping sighed slightly.

"My 'Four Limbs and Five Senses' and Body Cultivation Furnace haven't yet mastered it. I can release or retract the ear and eye senses. It's still a little difficult to perfectly control the puppet ears and eyes."

He Ping stayed in Narcissus Cave Abode for half a month, and by the way, his eyes and ears were modified. His eyes were taken out and replaced by "Puppet Eye Spirit Orb". The spirit ball puppet was originally a puppet specially designed to replace the eyes. After being moved, his eyes became more acute and had various strange effects.

In addition, his ears have also been modified. After removing his ears, he replaced them with a pair of "Sound-Listening Immortal Ears". Through these modified pairs of puppet ears, his ear power has been greatly increased. Within a radius of two or three miles, even the sound of dust falling on the ground can be recognized.

However, the hearing power is so good, it also brings a trouble, that is, he cannot control it perfectly. Now, he is always troubled by the excessive hearing power. Almost every minute and every second, countless small sounds penetrate into his ears clearly...

Not to mention the movement of people, even the sounds of frozen insects in the soil and mice hiding in their holes will be reflected in the mind.

"We also need to speed up the practice of 'Four Limbs and Five Senses'. As long as we master this internal kung fu, we will not be so troublesome and can control 'Sound-Listening Immortal Ears' well."

He took a long breath and asked Qi Baiyi again.

"I heard that you are cooperating with that He Zhongheng to attack Thirteen Hengyun Strongholds. Now you have conquered several villages. How come you have time to come here to find me? What happened?"

"Young Master is wise."

Qi Baiyi lowered his head and said, "During these days, I joined forces with He Zhongheng to kill Head Constable Liu while secretly controlling in the county. Three Gangs and Nine Societies, while attacking Mingfeng Mountain, we have eliminated several copycats. However, we encountered a tough one recently, which made He Zhongheng and I disgraced, and also lost some manpower."

"Oh, with your strength, attacking those copycat villages, did something go wrong?"

He Ping took a look at Qi Baiyi. He knew Qi Zheyi's level, plus they also had internal contacts among the bandits, so how could they suffer a big loss.

"The most powerful village in Thirteen Hengyun Strongholds is Back Horse Mountain in Aozili in Mingfeng Mountain. Back Horse Mountain's Flying Feather Stronghold has many people. The village leader Chao Qing is not weak in skills. He also has a stranger under him who can use powerful Daoist techniques. When we sent people to attack Back Horse Mountain, many brothers were injured in the hands of that man."
