Mysterious mirror hanging high

After Yuan Ji left, Jing Yu stood up and walked around the entire Fugui Island several times.

This place will be where he will practice for many years in the future, so naturally he has to understand it in detail and have a clear idea of ​​it.

Jing Yu used the detection spell of the [Mysterious Mirror] to illuminate the entire [Fugui Mountain], and suddenly let out a light exclamation:

"Ok?"

When he used the detection spell just now, he discovered that there was an inconspicuous cave in the main peak of Fugui Island.

He aroused the [Kudu Xuan Guang] all over his body, used the earth escape technique to escape into the mountain, and soon arrived at this small cave.

call--

Jing Yu swept his mind and immediately understood:

"So that's how it is... The outer shell of this cave dug out in the center of the mountain is made of a material that blocks divine thoughts. It can even block the divine thoughts of a Nascent Soul cultivator."

"Plus, there are no formations set up here, and no spiritual energy fluctuations, so it actually deceived Yun Xuance's detection."

If it weren't for the extremely high level of the Xuanjing's detection technique and my habit of using it from time to time, I'm afraid I wouldn't have discovered this secret place!

Jing Yu collected his thoughts, calmed himself down, looked around, and found that there was nothing else in this small cave except a dried corpse.

He walked closer and took a look. The mummy was wearing a dark blue Taoist robe and sleeping on its side. It looked like a man. There was a storage bag woven with gold thread tied around its waist, which was covered with a thick layer of dust.

Jing Yu squatted down, but did not rush to take the storage bag. Instead, he scanned the mummy with his mind for a long time to confirm that there was no remaining soul trying to take over the body. Then he pinched the almost shriveled skin and flesh on the mummy, his eyes showing a pensive look.

"Nascent Soul Dharmakaya, but no physical training... This cultivator must have been a Nascent Soul True Lord in his lifetime."

Jing Yu thought to himself, "Judging from the degree of decay of this corpse, it must have been dead for between two and three thousand years."

He then tore off a piece of Taoist robe cloth from the sleeve of the mummy and examined it carefully, which further confirmed his guess:

"Indeed, this robe was once a magical weapon. After losing its magical power, it gradually lost its spiritual power and became a mortal object... Judging by the remaining spiritual power, it must have lost its magical power around 2,500 years ago."

"This storage bag is of extremely high rank. Even though it has lost its nourishment, it has remained strong until now... Otherwise, if the storage bag was damaged, the items inside would have exploded to the ground long ago."

Jing Yu picked up the storage bag woven with gold thread and probed his spiritual sense into it. After a moment, he took out a few jade slips from the storage bag. After reading them roughly, his doubts became even stronger.

"Strange thing..."

Among these jade slips, one records the life experience of the monk in front of him.

This cultivator was called "Master Linggui" and was actually a Yuanying Zhenjun. Unfortunately, his aptitude was poor and he only formed a three-orifice Yuanying. He barely cultivated to the middle stage of Yuanying and made no further progress. He was unable to become a god in his entire life and died here in depression.

What puzzled Jing Yu was that the jade slips recorded that this Master Linggui was actually a person from the same era as [Penglai Tianjun] Xiao Buyi!

This is undoubtedly impossible.

After all, Penglai Tianjun was a figure who lived more than 20,000 years ago. According to Jing Yu's previous judgment, this [Spirit Turtle Master] should have died of old age more than 2,000 years ago. If so, could he have lived for 17,000 or 18,000 years?

The lifespan of a Nascent Soul cultivator is no more than two thousand years. Even if this person reaches the late stage of Spirit Transformation, his lifespan is only ten thousand years. It is impossible for him to live that long in any case.

Jing Yu guessed that this person was very likely to have a destiny of longevity, but even if he possessed the purple spiritual item of [Eternal Life] destiny, he could only unconditionally increase his lifespan by ten thousand years at most, which still did not match the date of death.

He looked at the remaining jade slips again, and then he suddenly realized that there was only a jade slip technique called [The Turtle Breathing Method to Avoid Disasters] left in his hand.

This [Magic Turtle Breathing Method to Avoid Disasters] is a water-based Qi training method. Although it is a Yuanying-level method, it seems very ordinary to Jing Yu.

The mana cultivated by this technique is extremely low in intensity, and can almost be considered the lowest among all the Nascent Soul techniques that Jing Yu has studied so far.

Whether it is the magic power and true essence cultivated by this method that is used to wield spells or supernatural powers, the power and magic are suddenly weakened by three points.

I don't know if it's because this technique contains the word "turtle", but the speed of transferring magic power, breathing spiritual energy, and circulating the meridians is much slower than other techniques of the same level, which can be said to be a slow practice.

This technique is slow to practice, and is not good for fighting or protecting oneself. It is basically the worst technique template Jing Yu has ever seen. It is also difficult for anyone to cultivate it to the Nascent Soul level. It is really incomprehensible.

The only noteworthy thing is that this [Turtle Breathing Method to Avoid Disasters] is extremely simple to get started with, easy to learn and easy to master, with almost no threshold, and any water-based cultivator with any qualifications can easily get started.

There is also a secret technique of tortoise breathing, which can enable practitioners to actively enter the state of [tortoise breathing hibernation], with the acupoints all over the body closed, the soul falling asleep, and entering into deep fetal breathing.

In the state of [Turtle Breath Hibernation], the cultivator can greatly slow down the rate of his lifespan decline, reducing the consumption of lifespan to one tenth of the original or even lower.

It should be noted that the life span of a cultivator is determined by heaven, which is called [natural life span]. The natural life span of a Nascent Soul cultivator is no more and no less than two thousand years, which is the limit of his normal life span.

If a cultivator suffers some hidden injuries, or uses secret methods to damage the foundation of his immortal path, all these actions will actually reduce his [natural lifespan]. Therefore, it is difficult for most Yuanying Zhenjun to live to be two thousand years old.

Some so-called life-extending treasures in the lower realms cannot extend the cultivator's natural lifespan. In fact, they can only make up for the part of the cultivator's lifespan that is lost after birth.

As for whether the natural treasures that could increase the upper limit of [Heavenly Lifespan] existed in the upper realms, Jing Yu didn't know. At least he had never seen such treasures in the Immortal Continent Realm, nor had he even heard of them.

The [Turtle Breathing Method to Avoid Disasters] in front of him could achieve an alternative effect of prolonging life, but in Jing Yu's opinion, it was just [pseudo-longevity].

Because in the state of [Turtle Breath Hibernation], cultivators can neither practice nor venture into secret realms to look for opportunities. Even if the consumption of lifespan is reduced to one tenth of the original, it is just a waste of time.

The only application scenario Jing Yu could think of for [Turtle Breath Hibernation] was a secret cave realm like [Xuanyuan Yuhuatian] that opened once every two hundred years. The cultivator didn't want to wait for two hundred years, so he simply used the [Turtle Breath Hibernation] technique to remain in sleep, waiting for this opportunity to open again at the cost of twenty years of his life.

Jing Yu held the jade slip in his hand, looking at the useless technique before him, when suddenly an idea flashed in his mind:

"Wait... Although this technique is a bit useless to ordinary people..."

"But it's of some use to me!"
