Before class, the Grand Historian first explained to Pan Long why he didn't teach him the Taishang lineage's mental method.

"The mental method of my lineage is ultimately the word "inaction". Although "inaction" does not mean passive retreat, it does not mean being a turtle that does nothing, but it still needs to do what it should do, but it is not stubborn to be done and done well, but... this kind of non-stubbornness does mean giving in, or in other words, in the process of doing so, it is inevitable to give in."

The Supreme Master looked at Pan Long and said with a smile: "You can actually force your spiritual light to find out, which shows that you are an extremely stubborn person. It is not only difficult to make you 'not stubborn', but also destroy your nature. In that case, your path will not go far."

Pan Long nodded slightly to express his understanding.

"Then the ancestor, is the other skill you want to teach me exactly the type of 'stubbornness'?"

"That's right." Grandpa Master laughed, "This skill comes from a friend who is stubborn and unreasonable. He always yells, 'The biggest thing in the world is the truth'. No matter what matters, no matter who you are with, he stubbornly wants to explain the truth."

"It's not easy for him to survive."

"It's not easy, but since he survived, he is very strong." The Supreme Patriarch sighed, "There are many immortals, but there are very few immortals who are stronger than him, and they can even count without a single hand. If I fight him seriously, I will be beaten to pieces by him in a few breaths."

Pan Long's eyes lit up.

Although immortality is the most important thing. Only by living longer can you see more scenery and get hope in adversity. But if you can live forever, of course he wants to become stronger!

"The friend later said that he was going to go to the depths of the distant starry sea to explore the endless world. He went away and never came back. I don't know if he is still alive, but before he left, he taught me his most proud skills and asked me to help him find a suitable successor."

The Supreme Master looked at Pan Long: "That man needs to have strong will, extraordinary talent, and stubborn enough. Even if he fails a thousand times, he will stand up one thousand times... Pan Long, can you do it?"

Pan Long thought carefully for a while and replied: "I will do my best."

"This is enough." The Supreme Master smiled, "If it were him, he would definitely not be satisfied with your answer. But I am not him, I am very satisfied with your answer."

"Before learning this technique, I would like to remind you first: Although the technique was created by us, you are the ones who practiced it. Therefore, when it comes to the issue of practice, you should focus on yourself, work hard and believe in yourself. Don't rely on others, and don't blindly believe in others. Even we immortal old men are just going further than you on our own path - we don't necessarily understand your own path better than you."

Pan Long nodded seriously and said that he had written it down.

Then, the Supreme Master taught him a skill.

This skill is very simple, it is to take turns to absorb the evil energy underground and the qi from the sky, and use the turbid and clear energy to temper itself in turn, so that one can continue to be strong, thus producing transformation and moving towards a higher and stronger direction.

And its core key lies in the various details of absorption, tempering and dissolving.

The Earth Demons are heavy and the Heavenly Gang is fierce. If there is no appropriate method, absorbing them is equivalent to seeking death - in fact, many experts from the Immortal Sect will pick the Earth Demons or Heavenly Gang and refine them into various magical instruments, and even many disposable thunder beads.

These things will naturally cause great harm when absorbed into the body. How to transform this harm into tempering oneself? This is the first difficulty of this technique.

No matter how hard it is refined and transformed, the Earth Demons and Tiangang cannot be fully utilized. How to deal with the remaining energy of the "residue" after tempering to avoid remaining in the body and becoming a hidden injury is the second level of difficulty in this technique.

As for the last difficulty, it is perseverance.

This technique is very painful and dangerous to practice. How can it be persisted to? It is a big problem. Moreover, as the tempering deepens, the evil energy and qi required are becoming stronger and stronger. Can you find the right evil energy and qi? It is also a big problem.

In general, this technique is not too fancy, it is more about working hard and patient.

Pan Long listened to it, repeated it, and asked the Supreme Master to explain it again, and then remembered this technique.

Finally, he asked the name of the technique.

"It has no name." said the Grand Patriarch, "My friend has no disciples, and this is the first time I have found a successor in this technique. I didn't need any name before - so, just give it a name yourself."

Pan Long was stunned for a moment and couldn't help asking: "I'll name it myself?"

"That's right. Since you are practicing, of course you should name it. Can you still name it, a bad old man who hasn't practiced this technique?"

Pan Long laughed silently, thought for a long time, and finally hesitated: "This technique is centered on tempering itself, just like refining an alchemy in a furnace. I heard that the alchemy people use the 'how many turns of the fire' to describe the heat of the elixir in the furnace, so I will borrow this statement."

"Dan Ding Gong?" The Grand Master asked curiously, "I always feel like I have heard of this name somewhere..."

Pan Long shook his head: "The Earth Demon Heavenly Gang once tempers, it can be called "fire turn". The number of times this technique is refined is endless, so I will describe it as "nine"... So, I named it "Nine Turns Mysterious Art."

"Nine Turns of Mysterious Art..." The Supreme Master whispered twice, thinking, "This name is really good, good! From now on, it will be called 'Nine Turns of Mysterious Art'!"

"So, what should I call the ancestor, the master who created this technique?"

"He, he is as stubborn as a stone, so everyone calls him "stubborn stone". Because he is tough and dares to act, he also calls him "stone dares to do it". It's just that you choose one of these two names."

Pan Long nodded and kept these two names in his heart.

If he opens the mountain to accept disciples in the future, the ancestor hall will inevitably enshrine the tablets of "Shi Gan Be the ancestor" or "Shi Gan Be the ancestor".

"So... does he have a portrait left?"

"Of course, there is, but my incarnation is not able to be able to pass it into your heart. If you have achieved success in your cultivation in the future, before you start a sect, you can come to Kunlun Yujing to find me to take a portrait of the ancestor."

Back in the quiet room underground, Pan Long thought for a while, closed his eyes, and began to practice the Nine Turns Mysterious Art.

This mysterious skill is much simpler to practice than the Taishang Forgetful Love Chapter. Strictly speaking, it does not look like an immortal sect skill, but rather a martial arts skill.

The first step to get started is to temper and strengthen its true qi, and strive to achieve "slim threads and sharpness".

Whether it is the Earth Demon or Tiangang, they are all extremely powerful forces. The true energy itself is not strong enough, so there is no way to use them to temper oneself.

If the Earth Demon Heavenly Gang enters the body and the true energy is defeated and cannot be controlled or guided, then it is not cultivation, but seeking death.

This step can be said to be a water grinding process. If you only practice in a quiet room, it may take several months or even years to complete the first step of getting started.

Fortunately, Pan Long can also practice in the world of nothingness in the fragments of the Shanhai Sutra.

What's even better is that when practicing the exercises, his spirit is in a wonderful state of concentration and relaxation. In this state, the impact of loneliness on him is greatly reduced.

The ancestors of the Pan family also used fragments of the Shanhai Sutra to cultivate internal skills, but the internal martial arts focus on refining essence into qi. In the fragments of the Shanhai Sutra, their essence will not be converted into true qi. No matter how much they practice, they can only make their skills more skillful and quicker, but they cannot increase their skills.

Of course, Pan Long can't do it either, but what he wants is not to increase his skills, but to adjust his true energy.

This step can be completed in the fragments of Shanhai Jing.

Of course, Pan Long would not just be in the fragments of the Mountain and Sea Sutra. Every time he practiced for a period of time, he would return to reality and continue to practice. The practice in reality is subtle and the practice in the world of nothingness. He could not concentrate as much as he did in it, but it would allow people to grasp their own state more clearly and make appropriate fine adjustments.

He felt that both were very important and should not be biased.

The years of practice are unknown. In the peaceful practice, time passes unknowingly.

One day, my grandfather came to find him and told him it was time to go out.

"Go out? I think it's good to practice here." Pan Long replied subconsciously.

Grandpa sighed: "I know that your cultivation is very good now. If possible, I would like to let you practice for only a few years, and maybe you will enter the innate realm directly."

"But, it's not OK if you don't go out!"

"Why?"

"Today is August 14th, and tomorrow is Mid-Autumn Festival." Grandpa said, "On Mid-Autumn Festival, the fairy peaches in Suita Mountain will mature. You must go out now and arrive at Suita Mountain early tomorrow morning."

Pan Long suddenly realized and was shocked.

"I've been practicing for more than a month now?"

"What do you think?"

He smiled, shook his head, and couldn't help but sigh.

No wonder those seniors often practice in seclusion, and they only practice for one or two years. This feeling of silent cultivation and growth is really great.

Every time you use true qi, you can feel a little growth. Either the true qi has grown a little, or your grasp of true qi has been strengthened, or some useful adjustments have been made to the operation process.

Little by little, wisp, continuous and accumulation.

That feeling really makes people indulge in it and can't extricate themselves.

He followed his grandfather out of the quiet room. When the evening sunset fell on him, he suddenly felt a very wonderful feeling when he looked at the long-lost sunshine.

It was like... a long time ago, when he was a college student, he occasionally went to the Internet cafe with his friends on weekends to play overnight. In the early morning, several people took a bland pace, bathed in the bright sunshine of Sunday, and walked on the way back to the dormitory.

In an instant, he felt as if he had traveled back again, traveling to the age of his prime, and moving towards a future with infinite possibilities. But he clearly understood where he was, where he was coming from, and where he was going.

In the dark, something suddenly became clear.

Pan Long couldn't help but open his mouth and let out a long whistle.
Chapter completed!
