Chapter 24: The Secret

It turned out that the refining method of this Five Element Spiritual Fixation Ring was technically not Liu Yan's original creation in the beginning, and it was not even the original creation of the Tai Ling Mountain Sect.

After the young Liu Yan joined Tai Ling Mountain, he quickly cultivated to the foundation stage due to his outstanding qualifications, and successfully worshipped under a JieDan stage cultivator.

This JieDan level cultivator was called Yun Li, and he was the former Cloudling Peak Master, but he later dedicated himself to cultivation and no longer held the position of Peak Master.

Once upon a time, Yunling Peak did not have the rule of only accepting female disciples, and Liu Yan and another Foundation Establishment Stage male cultivator entered Yun Li's door together.

This Foundation Establishment Stage male cultivator, who was now also a JieDan Stage existence, was none other than Heavenly Sword Peak's Peak Master Feng Yang!

Back then, Yun Li was known as the number one weapon refining master in Zhao State, and even many YuanYing stage cultivators would befriend him, and Liu Yan's weapon refining skills were learned from Yun Li.

Later, not long after Liu Yan and Feng Yang joined Yun Li's sect, Yun Li went on a trip and happened to come across an ancient cultivator's cave, from which he learned part of the method of refining spiritual weapons.

After returning to the sect, Yun Li relied on the harvest from the cave and managed to refine two magical artefacts, the Qing Ning and Qing Ling Two Mirrors!

Yun Li knew that the weapon refining method she received from the Ancient Cultivator's Cave was just a drop in the ocean, but she was able to refine such magical weapons, which immediately increased her interest.However, with her cultivation at the late stage of JieDan at that time, it was still very difficult for her to break through the layers of prohibitions in the cave to obtain the final treasure!

With no other choice, Yun Li could only temporarily shelve the plan to explore the ancient cultivator's cave and cultivate her two disciples.

More than a hundred years later, Yun Li's cultivation had reached the realm of the False Infant, but could not advance an inch.

Because the refinement of weapons delayed a lot of cultivation time, Yun Li knows that in order to break through to the Yuanying stage is no longer possible, the rest of the ancient cultivation cave in the refinement of weapons, became her last knot in the heart.

Coincidentally, Liu Yan and Feng Yang both broke through to the JieDan stage, so Yun Li decided to take a shot at it, bringing her two disciples with her, but also inviting three or five friends, and together they went to the ancient cultivation cave to explore.

Who knows, Yun Li was not able to return to the clan on that trip.

Feng Yang was too adventurous and unleashed a powerful restriction within the cave, which eventually led to the near destruction of the group.At the last moment, Yun Li blew up her own cultivation and sent Feng Yang and Liu Yan out of the cave, while also sending out the newly acquired weapon refining method in the form of a jade slip.

Although Feng Yang and Liu Yan survived the cave, a grudge was formed.

Liu Yan believes that it was Feng Yang's mistake that triggered the forbidden system in the cave, causing his master's death.

Feng Yang, on the other hand, blamed Liu Yan for the fact that he clearly had the opportunity to forcefully escape with his master at that time, but chose to take the jade slip first and missed the chance to save his master.

More than ten years ago, Liu Yan advanced to the middle stage of JieDan, and with the help of a Formation Master, he re-explored the ancient cultivator's cave and gained something again.

When he returned to the sect, he combined the jade slip that Yun Li had sent out back then with the new refining method he had obtained, and finally came up with the idea of the Five Element Spiritual Fixation Ring.

When Liu Yan said this, he couldn't help but cry and sighed, "The only thing that Master Yun Li was attached to back then was the method of refining the treasures in this cave, if I can't make it come true, then it would be a wasted life!Xu Mu listened on the sidelines and couldn't help but sigh for a while, he hadn't expected that this Five Element Spirit Fixing Ring actually hid so many secrets.

He now realm is still low, still do not know what is called towards the Dao can die, Yun Li master ancestor even if he sacrifices himself, even want to send this refining method, really let him can't understand.

As for the past events of this year is not all like what Liu Yan said, Xu Mu is not clear, but he thought that if he is Feng Yang, is not qualified to blame other people.

Liu Yan, on the other hand, spoke slowly once again, "After my master realised the refining method of the Five Element Spiritual Fixation Ring, I wanted to let your five senior brothers use this treasure together to attend the last Spirit Trial Assembly."

"Spirit Trial Assembly?"Xu Mu froze at his words, he seemed to have seen this name in some tome.

"Not bad!"Liu Yan nodded and said, "This Spirit Trial Assembly is an event organised by the righteous sects of Zhao, where all the master refiners of Zhao will gather to face each other with their most impressive magic treasures.""Of course, due to the different cultivation levels of the refiners, the participants can only be divided into two parts: the foundation-establishing stage and the qi-practicing stage.

"If you are able to use the Five Elements Spiritual Fixation Ring at that time, you will definitely be able to shine at the Spirit Trial Gathering, making the Five Elements Spiritual Fixation Ring famous throughout the world, and it will also be considered as fulfilling one of your master ancestor's wishes."

Only then did Xu Mu realise that Liu Yan was planning to let him participate in the next Spirit Trial Assembly.

Xu Mu thought for a moment and asked curiously, "Senior, could it be that JieDan level cultivators are not allowed to attend this Spirit Trial Gathering?"

"Of course not!" Liu Yan shook his head and explained, "The power of a magical treasure is actually largely determined by the cultivation time, and the skill of the refiner and the materials used have little to do with it, the Spirit Trial Assembly is about the skill of the refiners, not who's cultivation is higher and has been cultivated for a longer period of time."

"I see." Xu Mu nodded in deep thought.Now that everything is clear, Xu Mu's cultivation finally has a clear goal, which is to break through all five elements of the working method to the fourth level of qi cultivation before the next Spirit Trial Conference, so that he can use the five elements of the Spirit Ring.

As for longevity, Taoism, and whatnot, these things were too far away for Xu Mu to grasp at this time.

Liu Yan said such a big talk, but also did not look half tired, Xu Mu's cultivation progress is very fast, obviously made him very happy, pulling Xu Mu chat for a long time.

Xu Mu wanted to open his mouth several times to ask if he could go home to visit, but in the end, he couldn't open his mouth.

Liu Yan was a human spirit who had lived for hundreds of years, how could he not see Xu Mu's thoughts, and immediately laughed and said, "Xu Mu, if you can complete my master's requirements ahead of time, my master will let you go down the mountain and go home, what do you think?"

"Really?" Xu Mu asked, suddenly surprised by his words.

"Of course! When has Master ever cheated you?" Liu Yan said, feigning anger.

"Thank you, Master! The disciple will definitely cultivate seriously!"Xu Mu suppressed the joy in his heart and respectfully rushed towards Liu Yan with a salute.Liu Yan smiled slightly at the sight, "Oh, all right, you go down first! Remember to come and find me in the hall early tomorrow morning!"

"Yes! Disciple, farewell," Xu Mu said and respectfully retreated.

Liu Yan looked at Xu Mu's back as he left and smiled helplessly, "This brat is still childish! But after the small competition, he should also realise where his disadvantages lie, and he actually didn't look half dishevelled, that's a commendable spirit!"

Speaking of which, his complexion suddenly turned despondent and he whispered: "Naihe, Five Spirit Root is only Five Spirit Root, Heaven is unfair, Heaven is unfair ah!"
