The Great Xia Dynasty's Longevity Begins with Connecting to the Swallowed Starry Sky

Chapter 43 Becoming an Apprentice of Nan Hua
The next moment, Qin Hao started it up.

He flew like a gust of wind, swaying and drifting towards the location of the big Chinese toon tree.

Along the way, many aquatic monsters, and even some manta rays, flew out of the sea, trying to attack him.

But Qin Hao ignored them all.

He was like the wind; all his attacks were slippery and couldn't even touch the edge.

Gradually, a special charm began to emanate from him.

This is momentum.

It started with water, and then fire.

Qin Hao comprehended the third kind of power: the power of the wind.

This allowed him to blend even more seamlessly into the wind, more than doubling his speed.

Even so, this was under the condition that he left himself some room for maneuver.

Soon, the big ailanthus tree came into view in the distance.

Three hours later, Qin Hao was already standing on the island.

Although it's called a small island, it's actually extremely large.

Just look at that giant Chinese toon tree; it soars into the clouds, and its trunk is enormous.

It must be thousands of feet thick.

It truly is a great Chinese toon tree, destined for a long life.

Ordinary trees are ultimately limited by their lifespan and will eventually wither away.

If someone wants to plant an ordinary tree and wait for it to grow for millions of years to become a spirit tree, the probability is even smaller than if they directly obtain a spirit tree.

Even for the Pure Spirit Fruit Tree, surviving the initial hundred-year tribulation was extremely difficult.

There are also the calamities that come after a thousand years and ten thousand years.

too difficult.

Qin Hao composed himself and stepped forward.

This time, he did not use the Free and Easy Wandering technique, but instead walked step by step toward the large ailanthus tree in the center of the island.

Since there are doubts, we should naturally take the most serious approach.

He walked step by step toward the center, and even when he encountered monsters along the way, they all passed away peacefully.

It seemed that these demonic beasts had been soothed by the Daoist aura and had become docile.

It took Qin Hao three days to reach the center.

A figure sat cross-legged under the large Chinese toon tree.

Just seeing it made Qin Hao feel that it was the embodiment of the Dao.

This is certainly not the Dao Ancestor from the novel, but that legendary figure.

"Meet the Master."

Qin Hao walked over and bowed deeply.

The Taoist priest did not open his eyes, and seemed not to have heard his voice.

Qin Hao didn't look up, he just kept bowing and waiting for the other party.

Since you want to become an apprentice, you must be sincere.

He would be willing to kneel here forever, even if there were more severe and terrifying trials.

Half a day later, the Taoist opened his eyes and laughed, "Alright, I just went to the North Sea. I only found you when I came back. So you really want to become my disciple?"

Qin Hao did not know whether the Taoist had left or not.

But upon hearing this, he bowed again: "Please accept this, Master."

The Taoist thought for a moment and said, "Very well, since you have the destiny to enter my Dream Butterfly Secret Realm and have passed the trial, I might as well accept you as a disciple in name only."

You are granted the right to freely enter the Dream Butterfly Secret Realm.

I bestow upon you the martial art "Free and Easy Wandering".

From now on, you have the right to ask a question here once a year.

For the rest, you can ask the spirit of the formation.

Go for it. "

With those words spoken, Qin Hao vanished from his spot.

In the blink of an eye, he was already a thousand miles away from the giant Chinese toon tree, and appeared in a valley.

Qin Hao skillfully connected with the array spirit and inquired about his rights and obligations.

A mechanical voice rang out.

"As a newly initiated disciple of Xiaoyao Cave, you have the right to connect with the array spirit and check your contribution level."

"You have the right to access the library's scriptures and view free scrolls."

"You have the right to contribute spiritual herbs and minerals in exchange for contribution points." "You have the right to use contribution points in the sect's warehouse to exchange for collectibles."

……

A series of explanations clarified the rights and obligations.

In reality, he had very few obligations, and with his abilities, he couldn't help the sect much.

It is simply an obligation to protect the interests of the sect when it is in danger.

But honestly, what can a cultivator at the first level do to help?
The disciples of Xiaoyao Cave are extremely few; apart from the sect leader Xiaoyaozi, there are only a handful left.

Apart from Qin Hao, the others were all at least at the third realm of cultivation.

Communication thus becomes empty talk.

Would you communicate with an ant?

However, asking for help is acceptable. As a major sect of Chunyang, it is only natural for them to help other disciples.

Qin Hao has also obtained some information from Qin Zhenyuan these past few days.

I have some understanding of these major schools of Pure Yang.

Of all the major sects of Chunyang, Xiaoyao Cave has the fewest members, second only to Xuandu Cave.

Xuandu Cave belongs to the lineage of the legendary Taoist Xuandu.

Xiaoyao Cave belongs to the lineage of the Nanhua Daoist.

The spirit of the Xiaoyao Cave directly told Qin Hao that the person he had previously apprenticed to was a dream incarnation of Daoist Nanhua.

The saying "Zhuang Zhou dreamed of being a butterfly" is also "the butterfly dreamed of being Zhuang Zhou."

This is what the Dream Butterfly Secret Realm is like.

Even in a state of illusion, one can transform the illusory into the real.

The method was extremely sophisticated, and Qin Hao couldn't comprehend it at the moment.

However, the spirit of the formation also reminded that all the dream figures are Nan Hua, but Nan Hua is not these dream figures.

It is equivalent to the id and the other self.

Moreover, it is someone else without a true spirit presiding over them.

However, compared to Qin Hao's "other self," these dream selves are more proactive and creative.

Before it was taken back, it was equivalent to a normal Taoist practitioner.

In fact, all these explanations are just explaining one thing.

Nan Hua is very powerful, but don't assume that just because you've become his disciple, you're a disciple of that Nan Hua Daoist.

He is my disciple, but not my disciple.

It's that simple.

But Qin Hao was still extremely excited.

Just like those saints in other worlds who, without awakening, could still create great works.

Their wisdom is extraordinary.

Of course, every one of them in the dream was called the Taoist Master Nanhua.

He is merely a Taoist, not a Taoist master.

Qin Hao gets one chance to ask a question every year, and if that's made public, countless people will be envious and jealous.

Moreover, the warehouse in Xiaoyao Cave is filled with countless treasures.

However, to Qin Hao's dismay, there was basically nothing of low quality inside.

The number of people in Xiaoyao Cave is small, and he is probably the only cultivator at the first level.

The things that others want to donate are unlikely to be things used by these low-level cultivators.

Besides the "Free and Easy Wandering" martial arts technique, Qin Hao also has another right.

That was the seedling of that big Chinese toon tree.

When you first join, you can get one plant for free.

If you want to continue doing so, you'll need to make an extremely significant contribution.

Qin Hao doesn't have a place to plant them yet, so he's not in a hurry to collect them.

"It seems that the next functional building must be the Herb Garden."

The Chinese toon tree itself is a kind of spiritual root. The place where it is planted can gather spiritual energy and transform the primal forces of the universe, including the power of stars, into spiritual energy.

In addition, the leaves, branches, even the sap and fruit of the Chinese toon tree are extremely rare and precious materials.

Its ability to extend lifespan alone is enough to make countless people envious.

"What a great find!"
