There were many green pines and clouds in the mountains with spirit energy. After a thousand or a hundred years, rare and strange grasses could be born.
The ancient mountains were full of treasures, and the dangerous mountains were full of wonders — these words were not false.
At noon, the sun was high up in the sky.
Feng Feiyun sat in a meditative pose on a white boulder protruding from the cliff. In his hand was a dark green bamboo scroll made from iron bamboo. The bamboo scroll was simple and unadorned. Even the iron bamboo had been corroded by the passage of time with many holes on it.
Moreover, each scroll was engraved with a miniature ancient formation to resist the corrosive power of time. Even so, after such a long time, this scroll still had some flaws.
"The Eight Arts Volume is truly profound. Just one of its arts is enough for people to study for dozens or even hundreds of years."
The Eight Arts Volume was recorded on this simple and unadorned Iron Bamboo bamboo scroll.
This was given to Feng Feiyun by Ji Xinnu. This was the supreme divine volume for Treasure Seeking Masters. Even though there were only eight heaven-defying arts, it was all-encompassing. Not to mention the eight arts, just being able to cultivate one of them to the extreme was already enough to be considered a contemporary genius.
Feng Feiyun had been sitting on this boulder for nine days now. Every day, he was immersed in studying the Eight Arts Volume, but he couldn't truly understand even a strand of it.
"Grand Change Art fifty times, forty-nine uses; Minor Change Art forty times, thirty-seven uses!"
Feng Feiyun picked out the simplest of the eight arts to study, the Grand and Minor Change Art.
The Grand Change and Minor Change were originally a method of recording time by the ancient humans.
Heaven One, Earth Two, Heaven Three, Earth Four, Heaven Five, Earth Six, Heaven Seven, Earth Eight, Heaven Nine, Earth Ten.
The Heaven counted five, the Earth counted five, the five positions were compatible with each other.
Later on, a great sage among Treasure Seeking Masters used the Grand Change and Minor Change Art as a reference. He combined the arrangement of the stars in the sky and the spirit veins underground to create the Minor Change Art.
The Minor Change Art could not only calculate the treasures in the abyss, but it could also borrow the power of the five elements to obtain many unimaginable methods.
Later on, a wise person came into being and found that the Minor Change Art was flawed. After several generations of research and improvement, it finally became the Grand Change Art that was passed down to the present day.
The Grand Change Art was even more exquisite than the Minor Change Art with more variations. It could borrow the power of the stars in the sky, and its profundity was enough for a wise man to study for a lifetime.
"The Five Elements Creation Art is called the Minor Change Art.
The five elements were water, fire, wood, metal, and earth.
One, three, and five are the Yang numbers. The sum of them is nine, so nine is the number of the Yang pole.
Two and four are Yin numbers, and the sum of them is six. Therefore, six is the extreme number of Yin.
The combination of Yin and Yang forms fifteen numbers. Therefore, the vertical and horizontal numbers are fifteen, which is the number of the five elements of Yin and Yang. "
Feng Feiyun put down the bamboo block with a serious expression. The Grand Change Art was an extension of the Minor Change Art. In order to cultivate the Grand Change Art, one must first cultivate the Minor Change Art.
"Use the five elements to extend the Minor Change Art.
In other words, one must learn all of the five elements and master them to reach the threshold of the Minor Change Art. "
He channeled the God Base in his dantian and a faint light appeared on his finger. In just a moment, the surrounding water vapor was mobilized as layers of faint mist rose from the ground. Even the white mist drifting in the mountains not far away slowly flew towards Feng Feiyun.
"Bam!"
Suddenly, the light on Feng Feiyun's finger became chaotic and the technique collapsed. The water vapor that was being mobilized immediately scattered in all directions!
Feng Feiyun opened his eyes and looked at the bamboo block again. He then murmured to himself: "No wonder why I felt that the technique became harder and harder to control and eventually collapsed. So it turns out that I only wanted to mobilize the water vapor and didn't truly understand the mysteries of the water vapor. I didn't want to merge my consciousness into the water spirit energy."
In the end, the Dark Water Art was only one-fifth of the Minor Change Art. The Minor Change Art was created by Treasure Seeking Masters. Its main purpose was for cultivators to merge their spirit and will into the water vapor. Then, based on their perception of the water vapor, they would be able to sense the treasures hidden underground, underwater, or inside the rocks, trees … or even the treasures of the human body.
As long as there was a trace of water, then the treasures would absolutely not be able to escape the detection of the Dark Water Art. However, the accuracy would depend on the level of the Treasure Seeking Master's technique.
"It is indeed worthy of being a technique from the Grave Palace Treasure Seeking Record. Even a small technique is so brilliant!
If news of this were to spread, many Treasure Seeking Masters would go crazy. "
Feng Feiyun was not discouraged and began to cultivate the Dark Water Art again and again. In the beginning, he mobilized the water vapor. Then, he merged his spirit and will into the water vapor to sense the grass, trees, mountains, and rivers around him …
Gradually, everything became clear. It was as if he could see through an entire mountain with just one glance. There were tiny iron ores, golden sand, strange grasses, and ancient moss growing in the cracks of the rocks.
Feng Feiyun felt that he had become a tiny creature walking inside the mountain, among the rocks, the trees, and the grasses.
Of course, the Dark Water Art was not easy to cultivate. Even a ninth rank treasure seeking apprentice with decent talents would need at least ten years to reach his current level.
The reason why Feng Feiyun was able to learn so quickly was because he had a soul power that surpassed ordinary people. The soul of a phoenix caused his spirit, energy, and spirit to become especially powerful. He could easily control the monstrous soul power required for the Dark Water Art.
The stronger the soul power, the wider the range of the Dark Water Art could be extended.
"Not simple, ah!
Not simple!
Only ten short days of cultivation, yet he is already close to reaching the "Clear Treasure Heart" realm. Is this because of the Grave Palace Treasure Seeking Record's mystical properties, or is his talents really this frightening? "
Zuo Qianshou could be considered a grandmaster among Treasure Seeking Masters. His master had praised his talents more than once in the art of Treasure Seeking, but it still took him almost three years to reach the "Bright Treasure Heart" realm.
"Haha, of course it is because of his talents.
Although the Grave Palace Treasure Seeking Record is said to be miraculous, there aren't many who are able to successfully cultivate it. From this, one can see how difficult it is to cultivate. An ordinary person would not be able to cultivate it in ten days. "
Third Boss stared at Feng Feiyun from afar and paused for a moment before continuing: "Only a person with such great talents could do it."
The higher the level of a heavenly law, the harder it was to cultivate. Zuo Qianshou naturally understood this truth.
Zuo Qianshou said: "Hehe, what is the relationship between you and this brat? Don't tell me he is not your disciple?"
"He really is not my disciple!" Third Boss said.
"Then why do you care so much about his matter?" Zuo Qianshou understood his old friend better than anyone else.
Staying aloof when it was none of their business — this was their style of doing things.
The Third Head's withered fingers pinched the beard on his chin. His pair of old eyes carried a trace of spirit as he slowly said, "If I were to tell you that he is the grandson of my grandson, would you believe me?"
"You actually have a descendant from the younger generation?" Zuo Qianshou naturally believed him.
"That year, you were tricked by Ji Lingxuan and imprisoned in the godly capital's prison. In order to save you, I cut off all relations with the Feng Clan and completely separated myself from the clan.
However, my descendant is still staying in the Feng Clan! "
Third Boss recalled the events of one hundred and eighty years ago. At that time, he was the most brilliant character of the Feng Clan and was named the next clan master. However, after hearing about Zuo Qianshou's misfortune, he still risked his life to enter the godly capital.
Entering the godly capital and breaking into the prison was a crime worthy of clan extermination, so before this, he had already betrayed the Feng Clan and cut off all relations with it in order to not implicate the clan.
After more than ten years of planning by Feng Dugu, Zuo Qianshou was finally able to escape from the godly capital's prison.
Without Feng Dugu's help, even if Zuo Qianshou could break the ten grand formations in the prison, he still wouldn't have been able to escape from the number one prison in the world.
The two old men were silent!
Zuo Qianshou was very grateful towards Third Boss. He could have become the clan master of a great clan with prestige that could shake the world, but now, he had become a bandit in the wilderness. He had to conceal his identity and live his days in a muddle-headed manner that was neither a human nor a ghost.
This was the true meaning of being supremely righteous and having a bosom friend.
This was why even though Zuo Qianshou had sworn to never help anyone else, he still broke his vow for this old friend and saved Ji Xiaonu.
"Sha Hangyun went to find me." After a long time, Zuo Qianshou finally said this.
"I also fought against him. His cultivation is much higher than before. I'm afraid he is already a top overlord in the Yang World." Feng Dugu said.
"This person's ambition is too great. I still can't guess what he is planning, but his target seems to be the Ji Clan." Zuo Qianshou said.
"The Ji Clan?" Feng Dugu asked.
Zuo Qianshou nodded his head and said: "He invited me to the Ji Clan to help him."
Feng Dugu's eyes narrowed while Zuo Qianshou suddenly thought of something. The two old men glanced at each other and said at the same time: "The Yang Soul Supreme Trigram!"
"No, the Yang Soul Supreme Trigram has been sealed for more than one thousand years. Only the blood of the Yang Soul Soul Twin Variant would be able to activate it. Could it be that the Yang Soul Soul Twin Variant has come into being?"
Zuo Qianshou felt a strong sense of uneasiness. It seemed that an even more terrifying variable had appeared in these troubled times.
