Chapter 92: How to ascend to heaven in one step (6K chapter, three in one)
The Valley of Truth.
The moonlight is like water, splashing into the valley.
Qiu Zhen sat cross-legged in front of the living room, his eyes looking back, and the golden light of his soul and body increased greatly.
After a few breaths, the thirteen little demons transformed from evil thoughts turned into pure spiritual energy essence one by one.
Qiu Zhen kept his promise. As soon as he thought about it, he reached out and grabbed it.
A ball of "spiritual essence" glowing with spiritual light appeared in his hand.
"Little jujube, I'll give you a reward."
"Thank you, sir!"
Xiao Zaozi held the "Essence of Spiritual Energy" and happily ran to Bai Zhu:
"Boss, eat quickly and become a great demon soon."
"Little Zaozi, I have not raised you in vain!"
Bai Shu glanced at Qiu Zhen, and seeing that the young master had no objection, he happily took the "Spiritual Essence", and his little hands turned into claws, dividing it into five parts:
"Here, this half is for you."
"Thank you, boss!"
Bai Shu rolled his eyes:
"You stupid fool, you're still thanking me"
"Boss Baishu, the essence of spiritual energy is really fragrant."
"Haha~"
When Qiu Zhen saw the conversation between the two little guys, the loneliness in his heart was suddenly alleviated a lot.
He still had twelve spiritual essences, but he did not give them to Bai Zhu, not because he was stingy.
If Bai Zhu made great gains in treasure hunting or made great contributions, he would naturally find an opportunity to reward him.
Even if the reason is lame, you have to find a reason. You can't give rewards for no reason. Rules are very important.
Qiu Zhen no longer paid attention to the two little guys, and started to refine the "essence of spiritual energy" and practice the "Dragon-Tiger Copulation Method" in the "Qingwei Dan Jue".
The "innate" realm of the innate martial artist originates from spiritual practice, which are different paths but the same destination.
The Taoists who practice the Xiaguan Immortal Art of "refining essence into Qi" harmonize the acquired Kan and Li water and fire, cook and refine them, and at the beginning of receiving Qi, that bit of nothingness and innate Qi is born from the "Xuanpin Gate".
It is difficult for an acquired realm to break through the innate realm, or for a cultivator to build a foundation in a hundred days. The bottleneck is that they cannot open the "mysterious gate" and find it difficult to break through the realm.
The "Xuanguan Yiqiao" is so mysterious that even a martial arts master, a martial arts saint, or an old eccentric cultivator cannot instruct it with words. One can only rely on one's own experience.
How many people are stuck at this step.
Qiu Zhen did not have any bottlenecks. He visualized the image of a dragon and a tiger mating, and refined the "essence of spiritual energy" into a great elixir for his practice.
The white-faced man rides a white tiger, and the woman in green rides a green dragon.
The dragon calls to the tiger, and the tiger absorbs the dragon's essence.
Capture Kan and fill Li, and reconcile water and fire.
The interaction of the dragon and tiger energies is like the union of the essence of heaven and earth, the interaction of the sun and the moon, circling in the dantian, cooking and refining, giving birth to the innate qi.
The next day.
"One night of hard training is worth eight months of hard training on weekdays."
Qiu Zhen looked inwardly and felt quite emotional.
[Night Wandering God] needs to practice hard for six years, and his practice progress is greatly improved all of a sudden.
He finally understood why the Dao of Alchemy, the Buddha's Heart Seal, and the saints' unique skills were called the method of reaching heaven in one step.
Presumably, in the early ancient times, the saints practiced this method, and the demons did not know how powerful it was, and came to kill them in droves. In the process of the saints, immortals and Buddhas slaying the demons with their swords, their magical powers became stronger and stronger, and they achieved the Tao in the process of slaying the demons, and ascended to heaven in one step.
His cultivation level has skyrocketed right now, but compared to the ancient sages, it is still low.
Xiaozaozi and Baizhu, who were tending to the herbs in the medicine field, rushed over when they saw him come out of isolation.
"Sir, are you still going to the Demon Suppression Division to exorcise evil spirits today?"
"go."
Qiu Zhen nodded. He had originally planned to go to exorcise the evil spirits for the Demon Suppression Master yesterday. Regardless of whether the Demon Suppression Division had any chance to do so today, he would go.
"Bai Shu, the Qingmu area has been in turmoil recently, so you shouldn't follow them today. Stay in Qiujia Village."
Bai Zhu also wanted to follow, but when he heard that the young master had entrusted him with the important task of protecting the tribe, he nodded obediently:
"Sir, don't worry, I will definitely protect the house."
"it is good!"
Qiu Zhen touched Baizhu’s furry little head and went out of the valley with Xiaozaozi.
After morning exercises and breakfast, Qiu Zhen rode his horse at full speed towards Qingmu County.
Today, he did not go to the An Mansion, but went straight to the Demon Suppression Division to see what the situation was.
I already had an idea in my mind before I even arrived at the Demon Suppression Division.
The reason was simple. Early in the morning, on the street in front of the Demon Suppression Division's government office, ox carts and carts were dragging gloomy-looking people towards the Demon Suppression Division. It was a spectacular scene.
In the crowd, when Wu Chuanfeng, the demon-suppressing lieutenant, saw Qiu Zhen, his eyes suddenly lit up and his face showed joy:
"Dr. Qiu, I just sent someone to Qiu Village to look for you."
Qiu Zhen looked at the patients around him with a serious expression:
"Captain Wu, was there another demon causing trouble last night?"
"Yes, this demon case is very strange. A demonic disaster broke out inexplicably, and the entire village was wiped out and infected with evil spirits."
Wu Chuanfeng frowned and said:
"I'm afraid there is a demon who deliberately spreads the demonic disaster. I don't know what his intention is."
As he spoke, Wu Chuanfeng sighed and said:
"In addition, there have been many cases of people disappearing for no apparent reason in Qingmu. The world is becoming increasingly chaotic."
Qiu Zhen nodded slightly.
The appearance of immortals in the world would be a great joy in the ancient world of immortal cultivation. However, in today's world, it is a mixture of sorrow and joy. There must be a demonic disaster behind the immortals, and it will also attract a group of monsters and demons.
The current chaos in Aoki is expected.
The imperial court gathered the people in Aoki County not simply because they had no way to deal with the beast tide, but because they were worried about the demonic disaster behind it.
Of course, Qiu Zhen didn't need to worry about the cases of demons and evil spirits. After a brief exchange with Captain Wu, he began to exorcise evil spirits for the villagers again.
The situation is similar to yesterday.
Among the people infected with the "evil spirit", a high proportion of them have "evil thoughts".
Throughout the whole day, he received ten more evil thoughts.
Next, for several days, Qiu Zhen traveled back and forth between Qiujia Village and Qingmu Town Mosi every day to exorcise evil spirits and cure diseases.
In the process, with the help of Xiao Zaozi, he took advantage of the opportunity to steal the evil thoughts.
That night, I went to the Valley of Truth.
"[Night Walker] is expected to be completed in three years and one month."
After Qiu Zhen finished exorcising evil spirits at the Demon Suppression Division, he hurried back to Qiujia Village. After regulating his breathing and recovering, he looked inward at himself, his heart filled with emotion.
In the past few days, his cultivation has improved so fast that even he himself is a little surprised.
He refined these evil thoughts and used the "essence of spiritual energy" as a great elixir for cultivation. After a few days of hard work, he was able to successfully practice the [Dragon-Tiger Copulation Method]. His cultivation level improved by leaps and bounds, his innate energy condensed, and he achieved a small success in the [Night Wandering God] realm.
It takes six years to complete the realm of [Night Wandering God], and now the cultivation progress is almost halfway.
Not to mention, I received nine more "evil thoughts" today.
He now realized more and more clearly the "instant success" of the Dandaodun method.
Take Ankang, the chief steward of An Mansion, whom he was most familiar with, for example.
The innate martial artists are divided into "True Qi Realm", "True Gang Realm" and "Inner Scene Realm", which correspond to the "Night Wandering God", "Day Wandering God" and "Controlling Qi Wandering God" of those who practice Taoism.
Ankang's current realm is the perfection of the [True Qi Realm], which corresponds to the "Night Wandering God" realm. It took him more than ten years from the beginning of his career as an innate martial artist to the perfection of the [True Qi Realm].
In just a few days, he completed the hard training that would take a top genius three years or an ordinary cultivator ten years.
Not to mention, cultivating immortals is much more difficult than current martial arts.
"So this is the legendary method of reaching heaven in one step."
Qiu Zhen felt deeply moved. For him, the primordial spirit and Dharma body were the greatest fate to become an immortal. No other fate could compare to this.
Perhaps, with his current level of cultivation, he is not as good as the legendary immortals and Buddhas. He has attained enlightenment by slaying demons with his sword of wisdom, but his character is still a little lacking, his cultivation level has improved too quickly, and his level of cultivation is a little superficial.
Later on, I will probably need to hone my character and do some inner training before my cultivation can be completely consolidated.
However, this is not a problem.
The current cultivation speed is already extremely astonishing.
In the practice of Taoism, there is a way to relax and be tense.
Qiu Zhen felt that his cultivation was a little superficial, so he did not force himself to improve it. Instead, his eyes fell on the Atractylodes macrocephala and the small jujubes who were busy in the medicine field.
"Come here you two."
Upon hearing this, Baizhu and Xiaozaozi rushed over.
"Sir, what's wrong?"
"Of course there is something good."
Qiu Zhen smiled slightly and said to Bai Shu:
"Bai Shu, you have been guarding the house and protecting the people these days. I will reward you with a ball of [Spiritual Essence]."
Bai Zhu was stunned when he heard this, then he was overjoyed and immediately plopped down.
"Dong Dong Dong~"
"Thank you for your generous reward, my humble servant Bai Shu. I am willing to go through fire and water for you, to capture wolves in front and tigers behind, and to serve you until I die."
"Boom boom boom!"
Qiu Zhen smiled, handed over a ball of "spiritual essence", and said to Xiao Zaozi:
"Xiao Zaozi, you have been following me to exorcise evil spirits these past few days. It's been very hard work. I will also reward you with a spiritual essence."
"I have it too!"
Little Zaozi was very surprised. He had just received a reward a few days ago, and now he got another reward. He was so surprised that he also learned to kowtow like Baizhu.
"Boom boom boom!"
"Thank you for your generous reward, young master. I am willing to..."
Xiao Zaozi was not good at speaking, and he couldn't even imitate the cat and the tiger, so he was speechless for a long time:
"Sir, I am the same."
"Dong Dong Dong~"
"You idiot!"
Qiu Zhen shook his head and passed a ball of "spiritual essence" over.
The two demon pets under his command are both at the "demon general" level and have great potential for training.
Needless to say, the little jujube tree, which was struck by lightning and came back to life in spring, has a sincere nature, excellent roots and great potential.
Bai Zhu's initial talent was average, and it was only after he was enlightened that he acquired the talent of "Wind-Thunder Fox".
However, Baizhu excels in intelligence and hard work. In the past year, he has learned the techniques of growing herbs and preparing them very well, catching up with most of the apprentices in Qingmu Pharmacy. Currently, he has begun to dabble in the art of alchemy.
A true "holy body of an immortal Taoist child".
From now on, as long as Qiu can truly become an immortal, Bai Zhu will be a legitimate Taoist child of the immortal family.
After Qiu Zhen bestowed the "Essence of Spiritual Energy", the remaining seven balls of essence of spiritual energy were sealed in the sea of consciousness. He did not absorb and refine them for the time being. Instead, he entered into a state of tranquility and concentration, cultivating himself internally and consolidating his cultivation.
As the night fell, the moon disappeared and the stars were dim, and everything was pitch black. Two figures were running along the country road as fast as the wind.
"Damn it, we don't get any good things, we have to do all the hard work of running errands. There are more and more martial artists patrolling the mountains, and the work is getting harder and harder."
"Alright, this is a matter of great importance to the Sect Master. If we rise together, we all rise together. If we fail together, we all suffer together. If the Sect Master can be promoted to the [Qi Refining and Spirit Transformation] realm, we can also benefit from it and have a bright future. If we fail, we will be like rats crossing the street for the rest of our lives and will never be able to turn things around."
An old monster who has reached the realm of [Refining Qi into Spirit] is at the same level as a martial arts master, but his methods are more mysterious and amazing.
Under normal circumstances, the old monster who has reached the state of transformation can easily suppress the martial arts master.
If the martial arts master planned and cast the spell in advance, it would be difficult for him to gain any benefit.
Before becoming a "God-Transforming Monster", immortal cultivators are rats that everyone shouts and beats. But once they become a God-Transforming Monster, the balance of the situation will be reversed. Without the certainty of annihilating them in one fell swoop, the imperial court would not dare to provoke them easily, forming a delicate balance.
"It is said that it is most important for the Sect Master to achieve the realm of [Refining Qi into Spirit]."
Among them, a middle-aged man with a scar on his head sighed, his face full of emotion:
"Who told me to be called Mugu and you to be called Muchang? As the direct descendants of the Sect Master, we have no choice but to do this."
The tall and thin man named "Mu Chang" shook his head and sneered:
"We have to blame Mu Sheng for this. He was asked to collect boys and girls, but he couldn't do such a small thing. If he hadn't made a mistake, causing the court and the Demon Suppression Bureau to be on guard, and taking the opportunity to destroy the thieves and robbers in Changle Prefecture, we would have already collected boys and girls and set up a large formation to resolve the demon disaster, forcing the sect leader to change his plan, and we brothers wouldn't have to take the risk of attracting demons everywhere."
"That bastard Mu Sheng deserves to die. He is obsessed with sex and his death is inevitable."
The two men cursed and swore, but kept walking as they galloped along the country road.
I don’t know how much time passed.
The two of them were in the wilderness and saw a light burning in the distance at the foot of a small hill.
"Brother Muchang, there is a village ahead. Why don't we choose this one? It won't be far."
Scarface "Mugu" looked at the village at the foot of the mountain, where torches were lit, and was eager to give it a try.
Mu Chang nodded slightly. Walking another ten miles ahead would bring them to the suburbs of Qingmu, which would become increasingly dangerous.
"Junior brother, let's follow the previous plan and have our Yin Spirit leave our body to scout the place. Tonight, will you go or should I go?"
"Brother Muchang, let me go. You were the one who scouted the place the past few days."
Immediately, the two did not continue on their journey, but found a hidden hill in the wilderness and sat down.
Mu Gu sat cross-legged and meditated into a state of tranquility.
Not long after, a gust of cold wind blew, and a blood-red figure flew out from above Mu Gu's head, light and fluttering.
At first, the figure could still be seen, but as the cold wind blew, Mu Gu's figure became illusory and could not be seen by the naked eye.
This is exactly when Mu Gu has achieved success in Qi training and his Yin Spirit has entered the realm of [Night Wandering Spirit], where the Yin Spirit is between reality and illusion.
It can appear in person to drive away things, or appear as illusory as a ghost, coming and going without a trace, making it the most suitable for scouting locations.
If there are martial artists from the Demon Suppression Bureau or martial arts masters lying in ambush in the village, the Yin Spirit can usually predict it in advance to avoid an ambush.
This is the advantage of being an "immortal cultivator".
His methods are much more sophisticated than those of crude warriors.
"Hey~"
About half an hour later.
A cold wind blew over the ridge of the field.
Mu Chang stood by his junior fellow apprentice Mu Gu, and his spiritual sense was extended everywhere. He felt the cold wind coming, and his nervous expression relaxed a little. He frowned and said to the "cold wind" that was coming:
"Junior brother, what happened? Why did you take so long? I thought you were ambushed by the Demon Suppression Division!"
"Huhuhu~"
The wind was howling, and a blood-red shadow of a Yin God flashed and leaped into his own body.
Soon, Mu Gu, who was sitting cross-legged in meditation, opened his eyes with a bit of excitement on his face:
"Brother, this is not an ambush, this is an opportunity. There is an opportunity in this village!"
"What chance?"
Mu Chang was a little surprised. How could there be any opportunity in such a small village in the wilderness?
"Tell me in detail what happened."
Mu Gu calmed down, looked delighted, and explained:
"Brother, this is what happened. I just sneaked into this village with my Yin Spirit to search for the innate masters hiding there. I was very careful and happened to come across a large natural illusion array."
Mu Gu paused, looking excited:
"Based on my experience, the illusion array doesn't seem to be artificially arranged. Instead, it looks like a natural illusion formed by magical herbs, precious medicines, and auspicious feng shui sites."
Having said that, Mu Gu didn't say anything else.
Anyone who practices Taoism or martial arts knows what kind of opportunity this is.
If you come across a mature and blessed land, you can make a fortune.
Practice the four great magic weapons: Dharma, companions, earth and wealth.
"Money" has always been the top priority.
"This"
When Mu Chang heard about this happy event, he didn't show much joy on his face, but frowned slightly:
"Junior brother, this precious land may belong to someone. If we barge in here recklessly, will we offend some powerful fellow Taoists? Will we cause trouble for no reason?"
"Senior brother, you are worrying too much."
Mu Gu shook his head:
"Originally, I was also worried about this. Once I came into contact with the illusion array, I immediately retreated and did not dare to go deeper. However, I went back to lurk in the village and quietly heard the villagers' gossip, and found something strange."
Mu Chang became interested:
"What's weird?"
"I learned from the villagers' gossip that they moved here when the beast tide broke out a year ago. It was an outstanding young man in the village who chose this place, saying that it was a good place for feng shui and strongly recommended that the villagers settle here."
Mu Chang still felt it was unreliable and had no idea:
"What's wrong with that?"
"That's totally inappropriate."
Mu Gu's face was full of excitement:
"I just discovered that the young men in the village actually took pills made from precious spiritual herbs to improve their skills. Do you know who gave them these pills?"
"Who gave it to me?"
"He is a hero in their village. According to the villagers' gossip, this boy seems to have a destiny. In the past two years, his martial arts skills have improved very rapidly, and he has emerged as a rising star."
As Mu Gu spoke, he became more and more excited:
"Brother, after hearing this, you must be able to imagine that this young man in the village was very lucky and accidentally discovered this treasure land. He immediately got countless spiritual herbs and precious medicines, turned his life around, changed his fate, and made great progress in martial arts. Later, he used his clan members as a cover to completely occupy this treasure land."
"Brother, that boy has not yet reached the Xiantian stage. To us, he is just a child carrying a gold ingot on the street. If we don't take it, we will be punished by heaven and earth!"
Mu Gu talked incessantly, his eyes were a little red, and he was completely excited and crazy.
"This"
On the other side, Mu Chang showed no joy on his face after hearing what Mu Gu said.
On the contrary, a look of worry appeared on his face, and he couldn't help asking:
"Junior brother, don't you think the deeds of this village hero sound familiar?"
Mu Gu was stunned: "What sounds familiar?"
"Is there a villager named Qiu living in this village?"
Mu Gu was a little surprised. He paid attention and realized that his senior brother was a prophet:
"Senior brother, how do you know?"
"It really is Qiujiacun. It's really him. Something bad has happened."
"A year ago, that old guy Yuan Hua disappeared. It was said that he went to find a country boy with great medical skills to suppress the evil spirit for him, but he never came back."
Mu Chang took a deep breath, a look of horror on his face:
"I thought that old fellow Yuan Hua was just unlucky, and met a powerful master on the road, and died inexplicably at his hands. But now I hear you talking about the young man in the village and the precious land."
Mu Gu's mind was full of "opportunities" just now. He was immersed in it and didn't think much about it. But when he heard his senior brother mention this, he was stunned:
"Brother, you mean that the young doctor Qiu came from this village?"
Because of the mysterious disappearance of "Yuan Hua", they all secretly investigated this "Little Divine Doctor Qiu".
However, due to pressure from the imperial court and the Demon Suppression Division, they only inquired about the matter of "Little Divine Doctor Qiu" in general, without conducting any specific investigation. No one really cared about the matter, and all their attention was focused on the sect leader's efforts to achieve "Qi Refining and Spirit Transformation".
At this moment, the rumored news of the "fate genius" was confirmed by the strange encounter in the mountains. A light bulb went off in their minds and they guessed something at once.
This "Little Miraculous Doctor Qiu" is definitely not a simple person.
He is not just a "fate genius". Apart from Master An in the city, there must be other masters supporting him.
Otherwise, how could a country boy have the ability to occupy a precious land and rise so quickly.
Thinking of this, Mu Gu, who was inexplicably excited just now, also looked a little ugly:
"So, Yuan Hua might die at the hands of this kid."
"Not bad!"
Mu Chang nodded, a trace of anxiety flashed through his mind, and he quickly asked:
"Junior brother, you sneaked in just now. Did you attract anyone's attention? Did you see that young man?"
Mu Gu shook his head:
"No, I saw the illusion with my spiritual sense and withdrew immediately. It didn't cause any commotion."
"That's good!"
Mu Chang breathed a sigh of relief, and after a moment of silence, he said:
"Junior brother, although Yuan Hua is injured, his skills are not weak. Only a congenital martial artist or a Yin Shen master or above can take him down. His background is unknown, so let's forget about this opportunity and don't cause trouble."
Mu Gu was a little hesitant when he heard this, and looked reluctant:
"Brother, are you just going to give up such an opportunity? If we join forces, we are quite powerful."
"No need to take risks!"
Mu Chang shook his head:
"The situation is tense right now. Even if we can win the fight, it would be extremely dangerous if we are left behind. The Sect Master's business is more important!"
"This"
Mu Gu sighed, and after some consideration, he nodded slightly:
"That's right. The sect master's matter is of great importance. When the sect master becomes a [Qi Refiner and Spirit Transformer] in the future, this place will definitely belong to our Mukui Sect."
"Great!"
Seeing that his junior brother listened to his advice, Mu Chang secretly breathed a sigh of relief and immediately planned to ask his junior brother to leave.
"Junior brother, let's go to another village."
"Huhuhu~"
Just as the two of them were about to leave Qiujia Village, they keenly noticed something.
The spiritual sense swept over.
At some point, as they were leaving, a delicate and pretty child approached them stealthily.
"Where did the child come from?"
Mu Gu cursed loudly, but when he used his spiritual sense to check, he saw the child's true form, and his expression changed slightly.
This is not a human child at all, but a real demon general who is comparable to a congenital martial artist or a master of Yin Shen.
What was even more surprising was that a sudden strong wind and rising clouds and fog appeared in the wilderness.
Thunder flashed in the strong wind.
A small tree stump appeared before them.
The faces of the brothers Mu Gu and Mu Chang changed slightly.
"Another demon general-level wood spirit!"
