Chapter 010 - Yellow Crane Tower
Li Yunsheng stayed in the back of the mountain for more than a month, and the Guan Li gave him two pounds and eight taels of immortal rice, three stones of miscellaneous grains, and some fruits and vegetables.
If you want to say what is the difference between this Immortal Mansion and his home, for Li Yunsheng should be sleeping well and eating more. Although it is also the age of growing body, but Li Yunsheng's meal volume recently large incredible, the view of a few brothers is very care of him, immortal food is a fixed amount they can not give more, but delicious rice, fresh fruits and vegetables and poultry, every once in a while will send a lot of.
And to say sleep well this point, not because Li Yunsheng before sleep is not good, but now sleep too well, the original was a day twenty water tired to numb the body can always be in a sleep after waking up to recover as before, even Li Yunsheng feel better, as if someone in his sleep to help him massage the muscles and bones of the general.
Li Yunsheng of course did not think too much, only think it is the cause of the immortal mansion heaven and earth aura abundance.
No one would have thought that in just one month, Li Yunsheng had transformed from the dark and thin child of the past into a young man with a straight posture and eyes of God.
Li Ran was also surprised to see Li Yunsheng again, he carefully looked at Li Yunsheng, and then pondered with his cheeks, "Why does this Baiyun Guan's rice food especially feed you? It only took one month to get through the bone-changing stage."
"Bone-changing period?" Li Yunsheng looked at Li Ran with some confusion.
"It's cold, when we go to the Yellow Crane Tower later, you can just find a random Dao collection to read by yourself and understand."
The weather had gradually turned cooler, especially at the top of the mountain, a single coat could not protect against the cold, Li Ran shrank his shoulders shivering and said.
Li Yunsheng nodded.
A few days ago after receiving this month's immortal food, Li Ran asked Li Yunsheng to go to the Yellow Crane Tower together, because the Yellow Crane Tower is more than twenty miles away from the White Cloud Temple, the White Cloud Temple disciples go to the very few, the third senior brother, Li Changgeng, heard that Li Yunsheng was going to go to Li Yunsheng also asked Li Yunsheng and Li Ran to help him to borrow a copy of the "Chopping Demons Biography" written by White Deer Scattering, Li Ran refused to do so, but also ridiculed him to always read books, Li Changgeng laughed at his going to the Yellow Crane Tower is only in order to see the inside of the Chu Chu girl, the two almost came close to each other for this reason. The two almost quarreled over this.
Originally, Li Yunsheng was afraid that he would have to walk for a day, but through the exercise in January, it only took two hours for Li Yunsheng and Li Ran to arrive at the Yellow Crane Tower.
The same as the other buildings of the Autumn Water Gate, the Yellow Crane Tower is also hidden in the mountains, from the outside can only see a few exposed eaves, so when Li Yunsheng followed Li Ran through the dense forest and walked to the main door of the Yellow Crane Tower, quite a sense of piercing through the clouds and fog. The Yellow Crane Tower in front of Li Yunsheng's eyes is not as mysterious or majestic as Li Yunsheng imagined, it is more like a broken building full of moss and leaves piled up on the roof tiles.
There weren't really many people reading books.
Blessed places like the Hundred Herb Hall and the Vermilion Bird Pavilion of this level would have had their own book collections, with all the techniques and skills of gongfa and cultivation tips, or free of charge, so this kind of place where there was still a charge for reading books was only occasionally patronized by disciples of blessed places like the White Cloud Guan, which didn't have a book collection.
"Chu Chu ...... why do you always not answer my letters?"
Only as soon as he entered the door, he only saw Li Ran using a voice with a hint of sorrow to ask the clear woman at the door who was burying her head in her accounts.
Hearing his voice, the woman ruffled her hair in front of her forehead behind her ears, and then raised her head without looking at Li Ran to look at Li Yunsheng, "Little brother came to see the book?"
The woman's face is fair and clean, her features are delicate and beautiful, just like those bookish young ladies that Li Yunsheng occasionally sees in the secular world.
"Uh-huh!" Li Yunsheng nodded heavily, the shallow smile on this senior sister's face made him feel warm.
"This is our White Cloud Guan's newly accepted little senior brother, doesn't he look very spirited? Little Senior Brother quickly call Senior Sister Chu Chu ......"
The woman acted as if there was no such person as Li Ran in front of her eyes at all, only to see her skillfully pick up a pen to register and ask, "Name?"
"Li Yunsheng."
"Borrowing or reading a book?"
"Reading books first."
"Ten merit coins a day for reading books on the first floor, one hundred a day on the second floor, one thousand on the third floor, ten thousand on the fourth floor, and to go up to the fifth floor, you need a book recommendation from the Sect Leader with the Blessed Land Observatory Masters and Pavilion Masters."
"What's the difference between each floor?"
"The first floor is some of the Immortal Mansion's astronomy and geography, cultivation primers, and some travelogues and novels. And on the second floor and further up, are the various cultivation techniques and know-how, which are also not loaned out and can only be read inside."
"First floor."
Li Yunsheng thought for a moment and said, he is now in dire need of some general knowledge of the Immortal Mansion, cultivating Immortals and asking questions is still far away for him, then he took out ten merit coins and handed them to the woman in front of him, this is what he exchanged with a catty of Immortal grain, a catty of Immortal grain can be exchanged for a hundred merit coins.
The two of them ignored Li Ran the entire time, infuriating Li Ran and making him glare.
"Second senior brother, I'm going to read over there."
Li Yunsheng was a bit impatient, he was not interested in Li Ran's matter with the woman in front of him.
Li Ran's visit to the Yellow Crane Tower was originally a drunkard's intention, and he waved his hand in a nonchalant manner, "Go go go."
Although this Yellow Crane Building is shabby on the outside, it is clean and tidy on the inside, whether it is the bookshelves or the floor is very clean and tidy, especially the rows and rows of bookshelves that you can't see the end of the rows of bookshelves, even if it is a person who doesn't know anything about the industry like Li Yunsheng, you can see that the wood used to make these bookshelves is definitely not an extraordinary product.
The Yellow Crane Tower also has a feature that is large, because half of its area is set in the mountain, so from the outside does not feel, but once inside it feels simply can not see the head. Daylight can only illuminate a small half of the area, all the bookshelves are lit with long-lasting lamps, goose-yellow light, this plate of bookshelves exudes a leisurely ancient meaning.
"Where to look good from?" Li Yunsheng rubbed his hands together with some excitement.
But when he picked up the first book, his expression immediately calmed down.
The knowledge that these Immortal Mansion disciples had long been familiar with was exceptionally interesting to him as he read it.
In a tome called the Immortal Capital Records, Li Yunsheng saw the origin of the ten states in the mouths of his senior brothers. According to the legend, among the four giant seas, there were the Ancestral Continent, Yingzhou, Xuanzhou, Yanzhou, Changzhou, Yuanzhou, Liuzhou, Shengzhou, Fenglinzhou, and Gathering Cave Continent, and Yingzhou was where the Green Lotus Immortal Mansion was located, and it was also the only place where humans and gods had been mixed since the human-gods were separated by tens of thousands of years.
Unlike the Yingzhou, the other nine continents are rare places, where the immortal mansions, demon grottoes demon residence is countless, immortal and demon perennial disputes endlessly, compared to the Yingzhou at this time is really peaceful.
However, this tranquility is also the Yingzhou experienced a long time after the scourge of chaos, when the Yingzhou not only on earth demons rampant, even the Immortal House is not peaceful, countless large and small Immortal House in order to compete for the blessed land of the Spirit Mountain fought, and finally because of the emergence of a great son of the world "Green Lotus", a person with a sword to level the Yingzhou Immortal House, which has nowadays Green Lotus Immortal House. Today's Green Lotus Immortal Mansion.
It is said that the Green Lotus dweller after a thousand years, and finally a sword split open the door of the sky to ride the dragon and go immortal, the Green Lotus Immortal Mansion's reputation in the states, but also the Yingzhou these thousands of years of peace time.
Also because of the thousands of years of peace, the Green Lotus Immortal Mansion cultivation sects, such as Qiushuimen such a behemoth like sects actually can only be squeezed into the end of the top three! Currently, the three largest sects in the Green Lotus Immortal Mansion are the Autumn Water Sect, the Purple Violet Palace, and the Cang Yun Sect.
Through the Autumn Water Sect's canonical books, it can be seen that they categorize the seekers into five grades - superior man, spirit man, true man, innate true man, and saint.
The first grade is Shangren, which means human being, and this grade must practice essence and transform qi, and shed the bones to become a human being. Where the first grade of the upper man, all for the strength of a thousand pounds, copper skin and iron bones of the generation, even if the ten days without food is also as bright and energetic.
In the morning, Li Ran said in the mouth of the "bone replacement period", is the realm of the upper man split, bone replacement refers to the cultivator to gas through the body meridians, warming the muscles and bones so that the human body as if reborn once. In addition to the bone-changing stage, to become a superman, you must also complete the "rebirth stage". The so-called rebirth, that is, in the body to make the five qi toward the yuan, convergence of the heart of the dan to generate the dan tire.
Only when the shedding of bones is completed, can the basic work of practicing essence and transforming qi be considered finished.
For the seeker, it was easy to change the bones, but difficult to shed the fetus.
And it was obvious that Li Yunsheng had already completed the bone replacement stage, but it was really hard to complete the deflowering stage, and the further down he looked, the harder it became, not because he didn't have any gongfu, but because of his immortal vein.
In almost all Dao collections, there was a prerequisite for completing the shedding stage - "The seeker is not a rootless Immortal Vein." The reasoning was that if the immortal vein was rootless, then there was no place for the five qi to return to, and it was as if you were a lost dog or a lonely soul, and even if your immortal vein level was high, there was no hope of shedding your body.
For this reason, Li Yunsheng was despondent in his heart for a long time.
But soon his curiosity will be these melancholy swept clean, only because he saw a Qinglian Immortal House cultivator rankings, this ranking is also known as the "ask the list", the list of the top ten in the name of the Hundred Grass Dweller in the list, he could not help but be a little surprised, did not think that this old man actually has the strength to rank amongst the list of the top ten.
Li Yunsheng's speed of reading was as fast as ever, even faster than before, in the eyes of the onlookers Li Yunsheng just casually picked up a book and flipped through a few pages, then put it back to the bookshelf, it was almost like he wasn't reading a book but looking for a book.
Unconsciously the time had reached noon, the woman registering at the entrance of the first floor had already changed, Li Ran didn't know where he had gone, at this time there was a white haired old man walking down from the upper floors, he looked as if he was going out but his eyes inadvertently swept over to Li Yunsheng not far away under the bookshelf.
When he saw Li Yunsheng casually pick up a book and then quickly put it down his brows furrowed and his face became very ugly.
