Modern Volume Chapter 5 Empty Has 'Treasured Mountain'

  After sorting out the information about the purple-robed woman that remained in her mind, Zuo Xiaoyao not only learned how to enter and exit the space where time was out of sync with the outside world, but also discovered that this space was actually the small mirror that had suddenly appeared in her mind earlier - Zi Yuan Jing Kong, one of the three treasures of the Purple Venerable. The other two treasures were a hairpin called Chuan Jie Shu and a hair clip called Po Jin Ding.

  The three treasures seem to be no different from the usual hairdressing items used by ancient women, but their functions are quite against the sky. Of course, this is for cultivators, and for ordinary people, they are still ordinary objects.

  Cultivator, this is the term that Zuo Xiaoyao learned from the various information in her mind. The cultivation realm of a Cultivator is divided into six stages: Gathering Qi, Fusing Liquid, Building Foundation, Condensing Dan, Transforming Embryo, and Achieving True Self. Each stage is further divided into four layers: Early Period, Middle Period, Late Period, and Completion Period.

  The purple-robed woman not only left a set of unnamed exercises for Zuo Xiaoyao to diligently practice, but also gave her a strand of divine power from the Grasswood Spirit. Once she reached the Foundation Stage, she could use this power to control the life and death, prosperity and decline of all grasses and woods in the world, with an authority rivaling that of the Three Treasures of the Purple Venerable!

  It's unclear whether this counts as a windfall from the heavens, but Zuo Xiao Yao is currently reeling from this sufficiently mystical experience. Although she felt that her time spent with the purple-robed woman in the Purple Boundary Realm was long enough, when she came to after her dizziness, it was only early morning of the next day in reality.

  Now that Zuo Xiaoyao has a good understanding of the Purple Boundary Realm, she knows that with her new master still being an ordinary person, the ratio of time in the Purple Boundary Realm to real time is 1:10. Once she officially breaks through to the Fusion Liquid Stage, it can reach 1:20, and basically every time she advances a stage, the ratio will increase by ten, until it reaches its upper limit. As for what the upper limit is, it's like Zuo Xiaoyao currently only knows the four-stage mantra of the Nascent Soul Stage, but doesn't know the uses of the Transmission Needle and the Breaking Seal Cone, just as the Purple-robed woman said, she will naturally find out when the time comes!

  After pacing back and forth in her room for a while, Zuo Xiao Yao was at a loss as to how to express the shock and excitement that was surging through her. In this era where science is revered, she had inadvertently stumbled upon another layer of mystery, which completely overturned everything she had learned over the past twenty years. Even if the woman in purple didn't explicitly warn her, Zuo Xiao Yao knew that she couldn't tell anyone about the woman's appearance, the existence of the Purple Venerable Three Treasures, the divine power of plants and trees, or the cultivation method - not even if there were other cultivators like herself in the real world. Of course, if her grandmother were still alive, it would be a different story... but unfortunately...

  Thinking of her grandmother, Zuo Xiao Yao suddenly felt a pang of sadness, and the excitement from before also dissipated by more than half. If grandma were still around, both of them could cultivate their true selves. Even if grandma was already old and it would be difficult to achieve anything, at least she could use this to benefit her health and live longer, not leaving herself so soon!

  After a moment of silence, she gathered her thoughts and remembered that she had an appointment with Wang Xizhi tomorrow. There was still one day and night in between, but in the Purple Yuan boundary, it was equivalent to ten days and nights. She thought it would be better to try practicing this technique first. Just as she was about to take action, a discordant voice suddenly came from the quiet house. Subconsciously, Zuo Xiaoyao looked around and only then realized that she hadn't eaten for two nights and one day. No wonder her stomach was growling with hunger, her belly almost sticking to her back.

  After quickly finishing the instant noodles and cleaning up, Zuo Xiao Yao focused her attention on the Purple Horizon Realm, holding a clock. She, along with the clock, smoothly entered the Purple Horizon Realm.

  She reappeared outside the courtyard of that bamboo house, and she was already very familiar with everything here. The entire Ziyuan boundary was not too big, except for the front yard planted with flowers and trees, it was said that there was a spiritual field in the backyard, which was much larger than the front yard, but the spiritual medicine and spiritual wood planted in those spiritual fields were of too high a grade, for Zuo Xiaoyao, in the very long time to come, those things would only let her have the privilege of looking at them, without having the qualification to use them, and she couldn't take them out either. This was also the entrustment of the purple-robed woman before she left.

  Even if Zuo Xiao Yao still doesn't know the severity of the situation, from the fact that precious items like the Purple Venerable Three Treasures were abandoned by the purple-robed woman due to emotional reasons, it can be seen that her identity is not simple. If it weren't for his own nostalgia and the resonance with the strand of divine consciousness she left in the Purple Boundary Empty Sky, and their relatively harmonious exchange later on, it's uncertain whether he could have obtained the Purple Venerable Three Treasures. Even if the treasures acknowledged him as their master due to a fortuitous encounter, without cultivating the truth, he would forever be unaware of the mysteries within, listening to her is naturally not wrong!

  Familiarly entering the courtyard, I came to the front of the bamboo building and first opened the room on the first floor. The main hall was directly opposite the large gate, and the two rooms on the left were indeed the Dan chamber and the alchemy room. The array in the alchemy room was complete, but Zuo Xiaoyao already knew that even if she broke through to the Realization stage, she wouldn't have the ability to use these things, and could only stare blankly. Fortunately, the purple-robed woman who was skilled in alchemy had left her notes on alchemy, and the part that Zuo Xiaoyao could currently see started from the method of refining Dan medicine that could be used from the Nascent stage.

  Next to the alchemy room, there were still some jade bottles and empty bottles in the medicine room, with labels on them. The words on the labels were the same as the information left by the purple-robed woman in her mind, similar to the oracle bones of ancient China. Before, Zuo Xiaoyao didn't recognize any of them, but now she could read and understand them effortlessly. This was a great blessing for her, who had always been bad at learning languages other than Chinese. Thinking of this, her gratitude towards the purple-robed woman deepened even more.

  On the right side was a quiet room specially used for cultivation, but although she had the ability to control the adjustable spiritual energy density restriction spell in the quiet room, as a novice who had not yet entered the door, Xue Xiao Yao was unable to activate the spell before reaching the fusion stage.

  Although she has a 'treasure mountain' that cannot be used, due to her life experiences over the past twenty years, she has always been a very down-to-earth person who can quickly accept reality and is also very easy to feel grateful and content. For her, having hope and direction is the greatest happiness!

  Arriving on the second floor, she saw that only a blank painting remained on the wall behind the dresser. Left Xiaoyao felt a surge of gratitude and regret in her heart, sat cross-legged on the purple bamboo bed, and silently recited the Naqi Gongfa mantra that seemed to be carved into her own heart and couldn't forget even if she wanted to. After finishing, she still felt that something was off.

  Nothing is easy in this matter, although there are meritorious methods and oral secrets... the nose connects to the six fu organs, what comes out is light and clear qi, belonging to yang, connecting with heaven, this is the heavenly root... giving birth to yang within yin; the two trigrams of shock and joy mutually interact as spirit and soul, giving birth to yin within yang... the power of yin and yang transformation penetrates through the hands and feet.

  For Zuo Xiaoyao, who was new to this path, it was obviously still a bit too difficult. As a pure rookie, she didn't understand what meridians, dantian, yin and yang, and acupoints were, so she also didn't know how to follow the oral formula to guide the breath into her body and run the exercises. The purple-robed woman who had transmitted the exercises to her had already left, and without an experienced master's guidance, it was impossible for this little white to grasp the key points.

  Helpless, I originally planned to leave the Purple Yuan Boundary first and search for relevant content on my computer. However, I inadvertently saw those two bookshelves, which had some three-inch-long jade plaques placed on them, as well as some things similar to books. Although I didn't know what material these objects used to record content were made of, it was clear that they weren't paper. As I stood up and randomly picked up a "book" to flip through, Zuo Xiao Yao thought to herself.
