Chapter 228: Chapter 200 Zi Ling Proves Immortal_2
“Although it has not yet fully become the Immortal Grass, it already possesses a trace of immortal aura… Could this grass have developed some kind of life?”
Nan Feng was also muttering to herself. She was even more familiar with immortality, so she could distinctly feel that the grass was silently approaching immortality…
A single leaf could almost kill a Daluo Golden Immortal!
Everyone in the entire courtyard was shocked.
“What realm will this pot of grass grow into in the future…”
Gong Ya felt her heart race with fear.
Such a thing was unheard of!
But today, it had really happened!
“The grass nurtured with the ashes of the Immortal King of the First Heavenly Realm, its future growth is probably immeasurable…”
Even Xinning’s big eyes were rolling around in excitement!
“Damn it, I’m still exploring how to enter the Immortal Realm, and this fellow, your grass has reached the same realm as me??”
Dugu Yuqing looked at Lu Rang with indignation!
“Cough cough, this is genius, this is real genius!”
Lu Rang was smug.
In fact, his true Cultivation Level had only just broken through to the Great Luo Golden Immortal Realm.
In the entire courtyard, he was only slightly stronger than the latecomers, Wu Dade and Jiang Li.
Even Xiao Bai the kitten was stronger than him…
Li Fan also smiled and said:
“It’s quite good. The grass’s veins are like blood, proving that all beings have spirits. Being able to grow such grass is enough to prove that you’ve made a big breakthrough in your way of planting and nurturing.”
Hearing this, Lu Rang was even more overjoyed and asked:
“Master, what should I do next?”
Li Fan thought for a moment and said, “If you’re not afraid of pain, why not try dripping a few drops of your blood into it every day?”
The planting and nurturing methods provided by the System indeed included such a technique.
It said that the grass grown this way could communicate with one’s heart and mind.
Upon hearing this, Lu Rang, as if he had been injected with chicken blood, turned around, picked up the chopper, and cut his wrist to let blood flow!
Li Fan was shocked by this sight… his disciple’s executability was off the charts!
He shook his head and did not intervene further, saying, “Xinning, Zi Ling, it’s time to learn poetry.”
Xinning and Zi Ling immediately brought over their small stools and sat down properly.
“The poem I’ll teach you today is called ‘Painting’!”
Li Fan began, giving Zi Ling a glance.
In an instant, a bright sparkle appeared in Zi Ling’s big eyes, understanding that her Master was about to give her guidance!
“Looking from afar, the mountains are colorful, listening close by, the water is silent.”
“Spring leaves but the flowers remain, people are near yet birds are not startled.”
Li Fan wrote down each word, reciting as he went!
In a flash, a profound contemplation appeared in Zi Ling’s big eyes.
Enclosed within, were the principles of motion and stillness, reality and illusion…
This was her…
Bottleneck!
She began to ponder, and couldn’t help taking out her drawing board to start painting!
A painting was quickly completed.
“What a beautiful painting, containing the aura of immortality!”
Everyone was amazed!
But Zi Ling remained calm as still water, without the slightest pause, she immediately started another painting!
With the new painting, the aura of immortality was even stronger!
Everyone was even more astonished, and in that moment, they all stopped what they were doing to watch Zi Ling!
Zi Ling painted one after another!
More than ten paintings in succession!
In each painting, the aura of immortality doubled and the principles approached perfection!
“Senior Sister Zi Ling is breaking through?!”
“Is she about to enter the Immortal Realm?!”
“Yes, the principles of immortality are being used with ease under her brush, the poetry and painting are united, taking her one step closer to that threshold…”
In a flash, everyone was extremely shocked!
Meanwhile, Zi Ling was lost in a state of self-forgetfulness!
“Looking from afar, the mountains are colorful, listening close by, the water is silent… Every stroke reflects the distant and the near, the magnificent and the delicate, the tranquility and the sound… all must be present!”
She murmured!
The brush moved, mountains undulated, the Spiritual Spring tinkled!
“Spring leaves but the flowers remain, people are near yet birds are not startled… The departing spring with remaining flowers signifies eternity, people’s presence without startling birds represents harmony; only through harmony can there be eternity, only through integration can there be invincibility…”
Ink was spilled, painting the beauty of spring and the fruitfulness of autumn, in a circle of eternal harmony!
In a flash, she stopped painting!
Her breath had suddenly changed!
A stream of qi, intertwined with the essence of heaven and earth, was emanating from her!
That was… Hunyuan Immortal Qi!
As a Daluo Golden Immortal, one blends the qi of the great Dao and certifies as a Hunyuan Golden Immortal. A Hunyuan Golden Immortal is then known as Immortal!
Zi Ling… had entered the Immortal Realm!
At this moment, everyone in the small courtyard was somewhat dazed, utterly astounded!
Through painting, she certified the path!
In the small courtyard, Li Fan’s many disciples were all somewhat stupefied.
“Senior Sister Zi Ling has stepped into the Immortal Realm, she can now be called an Immortal Monarch…”
Long Zixuan murmured.
“Truly terrifying, isn’t Senior Sister Zi Ling only in her twenties? Immortals of her age, I’m afraid, can only be found in the most ancient of primal eras…”
Qing Chen was also astounded.
“This is fantastic, absolutely fantastic!”
Nan Feng was overjoyed.
And Xinning, at this moment, also opened her eyes amid her bewilderment.
Her gaze was as clear as ever, now imbued with an extra hint of spiritual grace.
“I… have become Immortal??”
She was somewhat shocked herself.
“Xinning, how did you achieve this?”
Nan Feng stepped forward, smiling as he asked.
“I, I was just drawing a painting based on the poem Master just recited…”
Zi Ling was completely baffled; how did she certify her path to Immortality??
Is this the true Immortality or a false one? Could it really be so easy??
She began to doubt herself.
Upon hearing this, the others had even more complex feelings.
“Master is too strong. Immortality? In his eyes, it’s nothing more than child’s play…”
“A mere poem, and it leads one to comprehend the path to Immortality…”
“Master is too terrifying.”
Their feelings of awe grew stronger.
“Right,”
At this time, Lin Jiu Zheng, however, expressed doubt:
“Why, when Xinning had her breakthrough, did all the heavens respond, nearly depleting the entire Heavenly Realm’s Immortal Spiritual Qi, while Zi Ling’s certification in the Realm of Immortality was so simple? It didn’t even cause any disturbance?”
Upon hearing this, Xinning spoke with a touch of complexity:
“The Dao of the outside world lacks too much, hence it requires the Immortal Spiritual Qi of the entire world to suffice…”
“But here, the Dao rhyme and Spiritual Qi needed by an Immortal are but a drop in the ocean compared to the entire small courtyard… so of course, it wouldn’t cause any fluctuations.”
Once she explained this, everyone instantly understood.
At the same time, they were even more shaken, knowing that this small courtyard was nothing ordinary, yet they had not envisioned it to be extraordinary to such a degree!
Even the certification of Immortals couldn’t disturb it??
But, given that the Immortal Grass planted by Lu Rang could grow to nearly Immortal status without any signs, everyone felt at ease once more.
It was acceptable!
But, at that moment, Li Fan also nodded in agreement, appreciating Zi Ling’s innate talent for painting.
He had deliberately recited the poem “Painting” by the great Tang dynasty poet Wang Wei, because Wang’s poetry, celebrated for having paintings within poems and poems within paintings, indeed provided insight, as Xinning had realized.
He smiled, looked at Zi Ling, and said:
“Not bad, you’ve made another breakthrough.”
Hearing Master say so, Zi Ling finally believed she had truly entered the Immortal Realm!
“Thank you, Master! Thank you, Master!”
She spoke with joy, bursting with happiness, her pretty face all aglow with excitement!
“Haha, for this occasion alone, it’s worth having a drink tonight.”
Li Fan said with a laugh:
“Lu Rang, go dig out a jar of wine!”
Upon hearing this, all the disciples were even more delighted as this meant they would once again partake in a great opportunity.
That was wine brewed by Li Fan himself, and with each sip, their potential and aptitude would rise to a higher level.
It could be said that eating Holy Medicine and drinking from the Divine Spring every day, the constitution of the group of disciples…
Was utterly beyond imagination!
“Is Senior Li here?”
At this time, voices from outside, Fire Spirit and others, came through!
