The Desire to Be Eternal
Chapter 37: Seriousness-Light-Light
Ten stone inscriptions, first ten places!
The three peaks on the southern edge of the Spirit Stream Sect were completely shaken.
Outside of the 10,000 Medicinal Pavilion, a buzz of conversation could be heard. People were speeding up from all over to catch a glimpse of the small turtle in the first position with ten stone inscriptions. Breath sounded.
“Ten places place 1! Little turtles really do it! ”
“The last time someone in the Spirit Stream Sect ever took the first ten places in a stone inscription was a thousand years ago! How could I imagine that I would see something like this in my life !? ”
Everyone screamed in shock, and although many people predicted that this would happen, it was still a shocking event. That was especially true considering the three months before, where one stone inscription after another fell into the hands of the little turtle. When people think about it, they can't stay calm.
"Just who exactly is that little turtle …? In less than half a year, he started from the third stone inscription and then swept away all his competition in the rest of them. This guy is really famous! "
"His expertise with plants and herbs completely exceeded that of Zhou Xinqi. Perhaps in the future, there would even be a master apothecary other than Zhou Xinqi! "
At the same time that the little turtle secured the first place in all ten stone inscriptions, the inscription began to tremble, releasing a fused rumbling sound, and then joined the sound of the clang cauldron coming from far up the mountain.
It was as if someone had crashed into a medicinal cauldron with a large wooden block. The muffled boom spread throughout Fragrant Cloud Peak, and then resounded to fill the entire southern edge of the Spirit Stream Sect. It was accompanied by a medicinal scent that filled the area, and caused the fog that covered the Fragrant Cloud Peak to grow thicker.
At the peak of Fragrant Cloud Peak was an immortal cave where Elder Zhou was in the midst of feeding some cherished five-colored spirit birds. When he heard the cauldron sound, his eyes lit up in shock.
"Fragrant Cloud Qualities?" He sent out a divine sense and instantly detected what was happening among the ten stone inscriptions outside the 10,000 Medicine pavilion. His expression immediately flickered, and he stepped into the air.
Next, Elder Sun appeared, along with the other Foundation Establishment cultivators. They had all heard the voice of the cauldron, and were now walking towards the 10,000 Medicinal Pavilion, excited expressions on their faces.
The last one to appear was Li Qinghou, who was in the middle of meditation. When he heard the cauldron sound, his face flickered, and he looked outside. Then, he transformed into a colorful streak of light that shot into the 10,000 Medicinal Pavilion.
As the voice of the cauldron sounded, the crowd grew even more excited. The two Outer Sect disciples and Inner Sects of Fragrant Cloud Peak were completely shaken, and many began to rush towards the 10,000 Medicinal Pavilion.
"That .. the voice of the precious treasure of Fragrant Cloud Peak, the Fragrant Cloud Cauldron!"
“Someone took the first ten places in the 10,000 Medicines Pavilion! That hasn't happened in a thousand years! This is unheard of! ”
Excitement even appeared on Green Crest Peak and Violet Cauldron Peak. Big Fatty Zhang hung his head as a beautiful and alluring woman berate him. The woman was none other than the old rat that Big Fatty Zhang had complained to Bai Xiaochun. As soon as he heard the cauldron sound, his expression flickered, and he looked into the distance. Big Fatty Zhang's face fell in shock as he did the same.
“The Fragrant Cloud Cauldron Voice. Could it be that some of the disciples in Fragrant Cloud Peak actually obtained perfect results in all the tests? "
A similar scene played out on Green Crest Peak, causing the elders and peak lords there to look astonished.
More and more people filled the area of around the 10,000 Medicinal Pavilion.
Bai Xiaochun was there in the middle of the crowd, and when he heard the commotion, he stared up at the ten stone inscriptions. Although he did not join the shout, his heart was filled with an indescribable feeling. He stood there, a smile growing on his face; not a complacent smile, nor a tall smile, a smile of pure happiness.
It took him over a year to work this miracle. He started from the first stone inscription, then occupied the first position out of ten. However, having many first places didn't mean much to him in the end. The most important thing was that he had obtained complete mastery over plants and herbs, as well as spirit beasts, something that an apprentice apothecary needed to possess.
He had created an unprecedented deep foundation. As he thought back over the long days and endless nights he spent obsessively studying plants and herbs, and then spirit beasts, Bai Xiaochun sighed emotionally.
In the entire Spirit Stream Sect, not even Inner Sect disciples had a solid foundation in their skills with plants and herbs. Right now, Bai Xiaochun was feeling very satisfied.
Immediately, many rays of visible light flew through the air, all of them emitting fluctuations of a powerful cultivation base. Among them were Elder Zhou, Elder Sun .. and of course Li Qinghou.
They looked at the ten stone inscriptions, and the little turtle in the first place, and their eyes began to shine brightly. That was especially true for Li Qinghou. The design of the little turtle made him start to be startled, then start laughing loudly, a strange expression on his face. He looked at the crowd, and looked at Bai Xiaochun, after which a glint of praise appeared in his eyes that no one could detect.
After a long time had passed, he flicked his sleeve and left, quite happy after guessing that the little turtle was none other than Bai Xiaochun.
"Any Outer Sect disciple who could do this must have been chosen …."
"Hmphs. We are day-worker pharmacists, so all we care about are spirit medicines. An incredible skill with plants and herbs is meaningless if you are unable to concoct spirit medicines! "
Some Inner Sect disciples clearly admired the little turtle, and others underestimated him. However, regardless of their feelings, a deep impression had been made, and in fact, most of them were actually rather scared.
None of them knew how skilled this fellow was at concocting medicines, but with such a strong foundation, once that fellow became a day-worker apothecary, it was all right, the road will be much smoother.
The commotion continued until Zhou Xinqi finally appeared. He stood there on his flying blue silk, examining the little turtle. Slowly, the crowd calmed down, and all eyes looked towards him.
Looking at the little turtle in the first place on all the stone inscriptions caused an unyielding ray to appear in his eyes. In the past, this was the kind of complicated expression he caused to appear in the eyes of others, but now, the opposite had happened.
"Who are you …?" he muttered through gritted teeth. Although he could not bear to admit it, he had gone to great lengths on numerous occasions to match the mysterious little turtle in terms of skill with plants and herbs, but his abilities were too profound. At this moment, he did not have any confidence to be able to surpass himself. Now, the little turtle was completely and completely stamped in his heart.
“You may be stronger than me with plants and herbs, but just wait until you become a day-worker pharmacist.I refuse to believe that you will surpass me in terms of concocting medicines! " He took a deep breath and calmed down. He had already taken the test and was promoted to a day-worker apothecary, so after giving the stone inscription one last time, he spun around and disappeared into the distance.
After giving ten stone inscriptions one last time, Bai Xiaochun turned around and left. "This is just the first stop on my path to becoming a grandmaster apothecary!"
The matter of the ten stone inscriptions caused a commotion that lasted for months. People were talking about it nonstop, especially when they went to the 10,000 Medicine Pavilion and actually saw the little turtle on the stone inscription.
Meanwhile, Zhou Xinqi's fans combed through the sect, using all possible tactics to try to figure out who the little turtle was. That was especially true for the young man surnamed Qian, who was furious about the matter.
The entire southern bank of the Spirit Stream Sect was affected. While people were constantly discussing the little turtle, Bai Xiaochun was in his courtyard, his eyes red as he controlled the tree leaves that floated in front of him.
He was now studying the stage of Sainthood in Light. In fact, he had been repeatedly trying to do so for the past half a year, but it was not until now that he could do anything with it.
Due to how everything had ended up in the 10,000 Medicines Pavilion, Zhou Xinqi fans were constantly looking for him. The sensation of crisis slowly piled up within him, so he decided to overcome various things in his residence while he was working on Heaviness-in-Lightness.
“Lightness-in-Heaviness is about speed. Heaviness-in-Lightness .. is about control methods! " A thoughtful expression appeared in Bai Xiaochun's eyes as he pondered over everything he had understood recently.
"Or maybe you can say that such control is actually an eruption of one's internal spiritual energy!" Bai Xiaochun's eyes glittered. He was now at the sixth level of Qi Condensation, and his internal spiritual energy was like a great river. When it came to Lightness-in-Heaviness, he could maintain it indefinitely, and unleash a shocking speed.
He had long understood that the so-called Pleasure in Light stage was simply a way of harnessing one's internal spiritual energy. That's like how flat leaves can be used to pull small branches into the air, but rolled leaves can lift small stones. Likewise, if you cut the leaves into pieces and then weave them into a piece of rope, it will be able to lift heavier objects.
Many materials are like that; in the end, different weights can be lifted depending on how one combines the various elements.
Heaviness-in-Lightness is just such a technique, and by mastering it, you can reach a new stage.
Bai Xiaochun thought about the matter a little longer, then waved his hand, causing another leaf to fly, which he started to try. Sometimes the leaves move quickly, at other times it moves slowly as if a mountain was pounding it. However, he did not get the results he wanted.
After one unsuccessful experiment, he tried ten times. After ten unsuccessful attempts, he tried hundreds of times. After a hundred unsuccessful attempts ..he tried thousands of times.
He finally lost track of how many times he tried. Soon, his courtyard was filled with shards of leaves that had been crushed, and he even had to go in search of new leaves. Finally, almost all of the spirit plants on Fragrant Cloud Peak were leafless, until, one day, Bai Xiaochun's eyes flickered, and he performed a spell motion and showed. The leaf in front of him floated there gently, but when it fell to the ground it sounded like a rock.
A huge explosion rang out, and the entire courtyard residence shook. It was as if one leaf was weighing hundreds of kilograms.
"It worked!" Bai Xiaochun's eyes shot out with blood, but his expression was extremely excited. He suddenly waved his hand, sending his little wooden sword flying out. It turned into a black line that shot through the air with incredible speed. It was now even more incredible than before, and it let out a shrill whistling sound as it pierced through the air.
Then, explosions rang out as the huge rock shattered into pieces.
Such incredible strength was no longer equivalent to the sixth level of Qi Condensation. Even someone at the seventh level of Qi Condensation would be extremely shocked by what had just happened.
