Chapter 601 Only the True Self Has Cultivation
Li Yundong was worried about the Medicine King tripod. Kris suddenly said to him in a low voice, "Ma... Li Yundong, I still have some money. If you need it, I can give it to you first."
He turned his head and looked at his honorary disciple with golden-hair and green eyes. He shook his head with a smile before saying, "Thank you for your kindness. I'm afraid that you wouldn't have enough. You saw so many cultivators fighting for a powerful magical weapon in Tiandu Peak a while ago. That kind of miserable situation was really shocking. You can imagine how important the Medicine King Tripod is. Only the rich can afford it. People from small sects like us..."
Speaking of this, Li Yundong shook his head with a wry smile and said finally, "Just forget it!"
The rest of the people of the Fox Zen School shouted in surprise, "Leader, will we give up on the Medicine King Tripod like that?"
Li Yundong smiled and said, "We have already got three Diyuan Jindan. As for the batch of four pills, it is already very profitable for us to have attained three... A person should not be consumed by greed! If we get the Medicine King Tripod, I'm afraid that God would not be able to bear it any longer. Besides, we have also used the 1,000-year-old snow lotus. How could it be so easy for us to find another one as a guiding drug? Even if we got the Medicine King Tripod, the other cultivation sects could only refine Renyuan Jindan at most, but Diyuan Jindan would be absolutely impossible."
The little foxes of the Fox Zen School suddenly understood and said, "The leader is right. We don't want this King Medicine Tripod, lest we get jealous again!"
However, Ling Yue muttered in a low voice, "Sounds like sour grapes to me."
Li Yundong feigned anger and glared at Ling Yue. "Would you die if you don't groan about me?"
The whole Fox Zen School burst out laughing for a while.
Li Yundong smiled. He turned to Ao Wushuang and said, "Senior Ao Wushuang, I have something to ask you privately."
"If you have something to say, just say it. You don't have to be so polite."
Li Yundong pointed to his room and said warmly, "Let's talk in my room."
Ao Wushuang was kind of confused. After following Li Yundong into the room, she asked in surprise, "Why are you being so mysterious?"
Li Yundong told her about his fight with Zhang Kongyun on Mount Longhu. "Senior Ao Wushuang, is there any difference among jinshen masters? Why did Zhang Kongyun say that he would show me what a real one is like? Is he acting mysterious, or is it true?"
Ao Wushuang listened to Li Yundong's words with a smile at first, but when he mentioned Zhang Kongyun, the smile on her face suddenly fell. It seemed that there was a layer of frost on her features and she said coldly, "Zhang Kongyun... Hey, Zhang Kongyun!"
Li Yundong saw that Ao Wushuang was gnashing her teeth. He couldn't help but think of Zhang Kongyun's words before, so he asked curiously, "Senior Ao Wushuang, do you... know Zhang Kongyun?"
Ao Wushuang sneered before saying, "Of course I know him! It was him and the head of the Zhengyi School who caught Wang Yuanshan. Of course, I know him! Humph, I'd know him even if he turned to ashes!"
Li Yundong saw that the bad blood between the two was related to Wang Yuanshan, a cultivator from the last generation. Ao Wushuang'ss eyes were full of anger as if she wanted to tear Zhang Kongyun to pieces immediately. Li Yundong didn't want to dredge up painful memories, so he changed the subject and said, "Senior Ao Wushuang, have you seen a fight between Jinshen Masters?"
Ao Wushuang sneered. "Of course! Wang Yuanshan, Zhang Kongyun, and Celestial Master Zhang of the Zhengyi Sect were all jinshen masters back then! Moreover, Wang Yuanshan was at the top level, and so was Celestial Master Zhang. Even Zhang Kongyun was at the middle level! That battle... Ah, how could I forget it?"
Ao Wushuang looked into the distance as she spoke. It was as if she had suddenly flashed back to ten years ago. She muttered in a low voice, "I made up my mind to cultivate hard after experiencing that battle!"
Li Yundong asked with concern, "Senior Ao Wushuang, could you tell me what the difference between a Jinshen Battle and a Yang Spirit Battle is?"
Ao Wushuang'ss eyes were closed as if she was recalling memories of the past. After a long while, she opened her eyes and said, "The difference? Come with me to the sky. I'll show you."
Li Yundong had been using a Yang Spirit body. When he saw that Ao Wushuang had disappeared from the room in a flash, he immediately chased after her and flew into the air.
It was already night. As there were a lot of dense clouds in the sky, no trace of the two flying in the air could be seen at all.
Ao Wushuang stopped in mid-air and said to Li Yundong, "You've reached the Jinshen Phase, yet your level is still at the Yang Spirit Phase. Most importantly, having not seen a real Jinshen Battle, you can't imagine what it will be like. So you're very worried that you'll lose in a battle against an expert of the Jinshen Phase, right?"
Li Yundong nodded. "That's right."
Ao Wushuang smiled and said with a faint smile, "Jinshen masters have different fighting methods. Although I am not one of them, I have seen fights between Jinshen masters. I can imitate the scene as a reference for you."
Li Yundong's face lit up with joy. "Then I'll have to trouble you, Senior Ao Wushuang."
Ao Wushuang smiled slightly before saying, "You don't have to call me senior. Don't you think it's a bit much in light of my age?" Suddenly, a bolt of lightning flew out from her side and rushed to Li Yundong in the blink of an eye.
Admittedly, this attack was similar to a sneak attack, Li Yundong was an expert of the Jinshen Phase, after all. Moreover, his cultivation was higher than Ao Wushuang's. Under the flow of the Zhenqi all over his body, the body-protection Jinshen suddenly blocked the sneak attack.
With a noisy "clang", a one-meter-long Qingfeng Sword suddenly appeared in front of Li Yundong. The sharp blade kept rotating and cutting at a fast speed, as a saw chain, cutting recklessly at Li Yundong's body.
This sword was none other than the Bahuang Sword. As soon as it was blocked, it turned into a rolling iron lotus flower, crushing toward him like an iron-blood meat grinder.
He felt like a terrible force was constantly pressing down on his jinshen, shaking his whole body with Qi. His jinshen seemed to be about to be shaken out of his body.
His expression became serious and he immediately wanted to take out the Fan of Seven Treasures to use against his enemy. But no sooner did the thought occur than he saw that Ao Wushuang's five elements spell had almost hit his face. Besides, her subordinates had also appeared behind him in an instant. With a sharp shout, her five fingers became like knives, stabbing at the Lingtai acupoint on his back.
This series of attacks was really like a storm, as fast as lightning. If Li Yundong had not been in the jinshen phase, he might have been defeated instantly.
However, thanks to his jinshen, he was able to withstand even the most powerful attack of the Bahuang Sword. Soon, he recovered his strength and used the Acalanatha Print in front of him, destroying Ao Wushuang's spell promptly. Even Ao Wushuang's subordinates were sent flying more than a dozen meters away by the powerful Buddhist power.
Ao Wushuang didn't stop until she had flown far away. With a wave of her hand, the Bahuang Sword returned to its original form and returned to her back right away. She flew back to Li Yundong and asked, "How did it go? What did you feel?"
Li Yundong fell into deep thought for a moment before replying, "Senior Ao Wushuang, I simply feel that the speed of your moves are much faster than those of ordinary Yang Spirit masters. You launched a few moves almost at the same time, but other than that, I don't think there was anything special about it."
She smiled slightly before replying, "Because I'm not a master of jinshen, I can only barely imitate their characteristics. I can't truly attack you with several doppelgangers simultaneously."
Ao Wushuang then flew in front of Li Yundong and stretched out her hand. With two fingers standing as straight as a sword and slowly pointing at his chest, she said, "If this is my Bahuang Sword, I will use my Jinshen body to make an avatar and activate the power of jinshen to strike at your chest. For all your unbreaking jinshen's ability to block with magic treasures, it can't resist the power of my jinshen. What are you going to do?"
Li Yundong immediately replied without thinking, "I'm going to make the most of the Seven Treasures Psychic Fan, which also has the power of jinshen, to resist it!"
Ao Wushuang smiled slightly and stretched out another finger noncommittally to point at Li Yundong's shoulder, saying, "If I use the power of jinshen to attack your wings, what will you do?"
Li Yundong said without hesitation, "Shut the Mahamudra out by virtue of the power of jinshen!"
Ao Wushuang chuckled and instantly split into two figures. One appeared behind Li Yundong, pointing at his back and saying, "And if I use another powerful magical treasure to attack your back?"
With a puzzled frown, Li Yundong thought for a moment before saying, "I'll resort to Wisdom King's superman powers."
Ao Wushuang smiled and suddenly appeared above Li Yundong's head. She pointed at the top of Li Yundong's head with her hand, saying, "If I attack you with a magic treasure from a high position at this time?"
Li Yundong was stunned. "How could you possess so many powerful magic treasures?"
Ao Wushuang laughed aloud. "How many powerful magical weapons do you possess? You own so many of them, why can't anyone else have them? Besides, a Jinshen Master is a top cultivator. Without four or five weapons, a cultivator at such a phase would be embarrassed to meet others!"
Li Yundong hesitated for a moment. He thought about possible countermeasures for a while before saying, "In that case, I have to fight against the enemy with the Liuhe."
Ao Wushuang snorted and said with a faint smile, "Having engaged in idle theorizing for such a long time, you might as well give it a try and show me what you just described. Imagine that someone is attacking you from all directions at the same time, can you handle it?"
Li Yundong thought for a while and tried to mobilize his Zhenqi to control several magic treasure weapons simultaneously, making a big handprint to divide the power of jinshen into more parts and focusing more on it. However, as soon as he tried, he felt that his Zhenqi was in disarray, and the magic treasures seemed to have no chance to react, which did not match what he'd seen in his imagination at all!
He looked awkward suddenly. "What's going on? It doesn't make sense that the Zhenqi in my body would be in chaos... After all, I have to divide the power of jinshen into several doppelgangers to defend, resulting in inevitable problems. But why is the powerful magic treasure not sensitive?"
The powerful magic treasure could once have been launched by Li Yundong in an instant, controlled with just a thought. He could defeat the enemy and retreat to ensure that he could escape unscathed. But now, there were slow delays one after another!
Less than a second, even if it was only 0.1 second, could be enough to determine the winner and the loser's life and death!
Ao Wushuang grinned and said, "Do you know how powerful jinshen is? Although your strength has reached the Jinshen Phase, your level of fighting has not yet caught up with it. You can't make several Jinshen avatars attack from all directions, and you can't control several powerful magic treasures to attack! Because your inner cultivation hasn't caught up yet, you can't multitask!"
Li Yundong couldn't help but ask, "Then how should I improve my cultivation in this respect?"
Ao Wushuang shook her head, "I'm afraid I am not in a position to help you, but I remember that I also asked Wang Yuanshan a similar question. He told me something at that time."
Li Yundong quickly asked, "What was it?"
Ao Wushuang looked quite solemn, saying in an extremely serious tone, "That only the true self has cultivation."
