Walking by the Abyss on Thin Ice

Chapter 114 – Pay homage to the master, water mirror

Bai Yuelou was delighted to see that Su Yun was finally willing to spar with him. He hurriedly searched his body and found three Qinghong coins and dozens of Wuzhu coins.

Su Yun took the coins and returned the Wuzhu coins to him: "I have something to do today and cannot compete with you. Choose an auspicious day, and we will determine the winner."

Bai Yuelou was overjoyed and bowed deeply: "We will treat this duel with utmost caution."

Su Yun returned to Qiu Shuijing with the three Qinghong coins. Qiu Shuijing accepted the money and said, "That's enough. Read 100 books on each of the seven floors of the Wen Yuan Ge in the Tian Dao Yuan, and your problem will be easily solved."

Su Yun was surprised: "Is it that simple?"

"It sounds simple, but it's actually difficult."

Qiu Shuijing looked at the fish swimming in the pond and said, "The same thing can be viewed differently by different people with different levels of cultivation and different mindsets. The more you learn, the more you comprehend, and the more you can view things from different perspectives. Your Great Unity technique is not perfect because your focus is not on the object, but on yourself. You are the cup that holds the water, and your capacity determines how much water you can hold."

Su Yun was stunned: "So this is what 'qi yun' means?"

He finally understood what 'qi yun' meant in the realm of 'yun ling'!

The 'qi' in 'qi yun' actually referred to the spiritualist himself, his mindset, his accumulation, and his foundation!

The 'qi yun' can be gradually strengthened and grown, allowing oneself to contain more!

On the night Su Yun killed Tong Xuan, Tong Xuan also mentioned 'qi yun', but Qiu Shuijing explained it so simply!

"I took so many Qinghong coins from you and only said a few simple words. You must think I'm asking for too much."

Qiu Shuijing smiled and said, "You can display your Great Unity technique, and I will teach you how to cultivate the 'yun ling' realm."

Su Yun was excited and immediately activated the Honglu Shanchan, causing the elemental qi of heaven and earth to surge towards him and forming twelve divine and indistinct shadows behind him!

.

Qiu Shuijing looked at the twelve divine shadows and his smile grew wider. Suddenly, he burst out laughing.

His voice was loud but not deafening, deep and mellow. One could hear the infinite joy in his heart from his laughter.

It was the joy of seeking the Tao, hoping for the Tao, and finally realizing the Tao!

After a long time, his laughter gradually subsided.

"Did you meet a sickly young man in the Tian Dao Yuan?" Qiu Shuijing asked.

Without thinking, Su Yun blurted out, "Di Ping!"

"That's right, it's Di Ping. He lured you to see the Chaotianque technique because he knew I was also in Shuofang."

Qiu Shuijing smiled faintly. "He has always been dissatisfied. He wants to live forever and wants to drain my wisdom to help him live forever! But he is extremely tired of me and doesn't want to see me again. Therefore, he used you to let me perfect the Great Unity technique for him! So, he lured you to see the Chaotianque technique!"

Su Yun knew nothing about the grievances between them and could only listen quietly.

Qiu Shuijing sneered, "He is the most monstrous disciple I have ever taught, and also the most arrogant. He is so arrogant that he thinks he is invincible! Su Yun, I can teach you the true Honglu Shanchan, but I want you to do one thing for me!"

"The true Honglu Shanchan?"

Su Yun's heart skipped a beat. Was he not cultivating the true Honglu Shanchan now?

He calmed down and said, "Please tell me, Master."

"Defeat Di Ping!"Qiu Shuijing said word by word: "Step on his pride under my feet, and twist it until it shatters! Can you do it?"

Su Yun thought for a moment and asked tentatively, "So if I come to seek advice from you in the future, will you still charge me?"

Qiu Shuijing's eyes flickered, "If you agree, you will be my direct disciple like Di Ping, and I won't charge you."

"It's a deal."

Su Yun felt calm and peaceful in his heart. "Teacher, leave it to me. I am an expert at dealing with my senior martial brothers."

Qiu Shuijing turned to look at him. "Aren't you afraid of Di Ping?"

Su Yun met Qiu Shuijing's gaze. "Why should I be afraid?"

Qiu Shuijing saw the wildness hidden in his eyes, the untamable wildness that even the Great Emperor himself couldn't subdue!

"Yun, do you remember when I taught you the transformation of the Honglu furnace?"

Qiu Shuijing took off his shoes and put his feet in the pool, saying, "The transformation of the Honglu furnace uses one's own body as the universe, and with the Honglu furnace inside, it stimulates the potential of creation, refining yin and yang into carbon fire, and refining all things in the universe into copper."

He looked down at the fish in the pool, nibbling on his feet, and said leisurely, "Have you ever thought that the spirit world is also a universe, and can also be transformed into a Honglu furnace?"

Su Yun also took off his shoes and put his feet in the pool. His mind was shaken by Qiu Shuijing's words.

The spirit world as a universe, evolving into a Honglu furnace?

"The spirit world is a wonderful universe, and of course, it can also be transformed into a Honglu furnace. That's what Yulin is all about. It nurtures and strengthens your spiritual energy and spiritual abilities in the Honglu furnace of the spirit world to complete the transformation."

Qiu Shuijing looked at the fish in the pool, his eyes flickering. "Your spiritual energy is also a whole. Is there a universe inside your spiritual energy? Can it also be used as a Honglu furnace to cultivate the transformation of the Honglu furnace?"

Su Yun suddenly realized, "So cultivating the universe inside one's spiritual energy is the realm of Yuandong?"

Qiu Shuijing said, "Ling Shi cultivates from the outside to the inside. When you reach the realm of Yuandong, your elemental energy will transform into Dan Yuan. Cultivating the universe inside your spiritual energy is the transformation of the Honglu furnace. You are still far from this realm."

Su Yun felt a fish nibbling on his foot, so he moved his toes and scared the fish away, thinking, "Teacher mentioned before that different realms have different techniques. Why can the transformation of the Honglu furnace be used in other realms?"

Qiu Shuijing's gaze was deep, and he glanced at Bai Yuelou. "The Sage of Shuofang wanted to create a unified technique that could make him a Saint. His technique is both technique and skill. But I want to go against the grain and create a unified technique that can be used in various realms. It doesn't require any technique, and all techniques can be used."

Su Yun heard the implication of the competition in his words. Obviously, Qiu Shuijing was quite dissatisfied with the Sage of Shuofang, and there must be some grudges between them.

But what Qiu Shuijing said about the transformation of the Honglu furnace not requiring any technique and being able to use other techniques confirmed what "Di Ping" had said.

"Di Ping once said that after Mr. Shuijing created the transformation of the Honglu furnace, many Tian Dao Academy students died because of this unified technique. He stopped the experiment and chose the crocodile dragon song as the accompanying martial art for the transformation of the Honglu furnace." Su Yun thought to himself.

"So my transformation of the Honglu furnace can directly use the crocodile dragon song, the techniques of the Chao Tian Que, and even the Sun and Moon Overlapping Wall of the Sage of Shuofang." Qiu Shuijing said.He was extremely confident, just like the "Di Ping" in Su Yun's memory, and said, "The Honglu Shifting Technique is not a complete unified technique. A complete unified technique requires the Chaotian Que technique. The first step requires twelve kinds of Chaotian Que techniques. But this step alone has stumped everyone, until you appeared."

He looked at Su Yun with hopeful eyes, "Seven years ago, someone took away the Eight-Faced Chaotian Que, but that person did not have my Honglu Shifting Technique. But you are different. Not only do you have the mark of the Eight-Faced Chaotian Que, but you can also learn my Honglu Shifting Technique!"

He sealed the surroundings with his Yuan Qi and explained the Honglu Shifting Technique of the Yuanshen realm. To others, he was just talking, but Su Yun could hear him clearly.

Qiu Shuijing explained the Yuanshen realm of the Honglu Shifting Technique in great detail. Compared to the foundation realm, the changes were not significant, but the way of drawing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth had changed. It needed to be pulled into the spiritual realm and refined.

"The Honglu Shifting Technique of the Yuanshen realm is divided into the inner furnace and the outer furnace. The outer furnace is your body, and the inner furnace is your spiritual realm. The key to refining the inner furnace and the outer furnace is to plant the fire."

Qiu Shuijing explained the realm of the Yuanshen realm in detail, "It is crucial to use the outer furnace to refine the fire seed. To refine the fire seed, you need twelve divine objects, which you have already cultivated. You just need to consolidate it, and then you can refine the fire seed. When you refine the fire seed and turn the spiritual realm into a Honglu, I will teach you the next step of cultivation."

Su Yun agreed and said, "Teacher, I have one more thing to ask."

He took out the ancient book that Hua Hu had found in the Dragon Tomb from his pocket and handed it to Qiu Shuijing. Qiu Shuijing sat down and read a few pages, his expression gradually becoming serious.

Su Yun waited until he finished reading before starting from the snow disaster 150 years ago and talking about the "Sixteen Chapters of the True Dragon," the origins of the seven major families of Lin, Zhou, Lu, Wen, Tian, Wu, and Tong, and the cases he was investigating.

Qiu Shuijing listened quietly without saying a word.

Su Yun shook the water off his feet and said, "During the entrance exam, I met the demon Wutong. She told me that she was also plotting and waiting for the leader to appear and expose his identity. However, she did not wait for the leader to appear."

Qiu Shuijing said, "Left Songyan and I were also waiting for the mastermind to appear, but we only waited for Wu Shentong."

Su Yun stood up and asked tentatively, "So, teacher, is it possible that the entrance exam was just a trap?"

Qiu Shuijing raised his eyebrows and said, "Go on."

Su Yun continued, "During the entrance exam, the demon caused chaos, which caused a great commotion. However, Wutong did not make a move at all. It is impossible for her to cause such a big commotion just by eating with the whole village. I suspect that someone is secretly fanning the flames, and the purpose of this person is to lure out you, Left Prefect, the Marquis of Shuofang, and even the saint of Shuofang."

Qiu Shuijing stood up with a frown on his face.Su Yun stated his deduction: "The ones behind all of this are the seven major clans led by Tong Qingyun. They are luring the snake out of its hole, wanting to see who their enemy really is."

Qiu Shuijing sighed and asked, "Have you really investigated this deeply?"

Su Yun smiled and replied, "Please enlighten me, Master."

Qiu Shuijing looked at him with a complex expression and said, "Yun, you're not a real imperial envoy. What's the use of investigating so much?"

Su Yun was stunned.

"Can you tell the emperor? Can you eradicate the seven major clans? Can you stop them from exploiting the people or bring them to justice? Or can you act on behalf of the heavens?"

Qiu Shuijing shook his head and said, "You're putting too much effort into this, but you can't do anything about it."

"But Master, you know the imperial envoy!"

Su Yun said in confusion, "You can ask the imperial envoy to tell the emperor..."

"You and Zuo Songyan are both naive and innocent!"

Qiu Shuijing became a little angry and reprimanded, "The emperor is never worried about corruption or killing innocents. The emperor is worried about rebellion! He sent the imperial envoy not to investigate the seven major clans or the demonic cultivators, but to investigate Zuo Songyan, the Sage of Shaofang, me, and the Eight Directions Palace!"

Su Yun was stunned on the spot.

Qiu Shuijing laughed heartily while shaking his head, "This is why I don't want to meet my old friend Zuo Songyan after returning to Shaofang! Hehe, this is the power of the emperor..."

Su Yun remained silent for a long time and said, "Master, I promised Left Minister that I would not let down the people of Shaofang."

Qiu Shuijing also fell silent and said slowly, "Defeat Di Ping, and I will make you the imperial envoy who can become the emperor."

He said word by word, "Beat him up hard and make him taste defeat and humiliation!"
