Xuanjian Xianzu

Chapter 1079 Seeking Gold
Li Ximing knew very little about the matter of seeking gold, but after all, he had been in Zifu for many years, and Jiangnan was the focus of the world's pursuit of gold, so he knew a little about it. When he saw Diyan's appearance, how could he not be shocked!

"It is said that one must have all five methods to pray for gold, but there are four 'Xiqi' and one 'Mingyang', so how can it not be five methods..."

The first name that came to his mind was:
'Master Yuan Xiu!'

The magical powers of Zifu are not incompatible, but the difficulty is extremely high - Shengyang is full of magical powers, and practicing the magical powers of this path is already as difficult as ascending to heaven, let alone accommodating irrelevant and alien magical powers?
It's just that there are relatives and relatives among the Taoist traditions. Now that Li Ximing has achieved supernatural powers, it is not impossible for him to cultivate the Dao of Fire, but if he does so, the Taoist tradition will be severed... Li Ximing once regarded it as a dead path, but later when he talked with Sima Yuanli about the ancient Taoist Yuan Xiu, he learned that this Taoist actually proved the Tao with four "positive woods" and one "collected wood"!
Sima Yuanli was feeling lost at the time and said to him:

"I have consulted a senior about my master's affairs. He once went to the place where my master passed away and sighed, "Heavy trees weigh down branches." He said that my master "maintained integrity but sought difference, sought equality but was not equal." He used leap years. "

He then realized that Master Yuan Xiu's pursuit of the truth during the leap year refers to the leap year of "Ji Mu".

'In the eyes of the Great Immortal, the last step of cultivating other ways is not a dead end, but a method of leaping beyond the fruition position. Now that this Diyan Immortal is seeking the way, is he seeking the leap of Mingyang?'

He looked shocked.

'In the current situation where Luoxia is suppressing Mingyang and wants Li Qianyuan to die as soon as possible... What kind of role does Mingyang Runwei play! '

But he was shaken in his heart. The great master in front of him became more and more silent, and looked particularly evil in the dim light. The dark golden light was reflected in his eyes - he seemed to be hesitating about what to say.

Li Ximing's shock gradually subsided, and he began to feel doubtful. He thought to himself:

"How is that possible... How can he tolerate conflicting doctrines..."

He paused, and finally stopped being silent and asked:

"But Mingyang leap year?"

Di Yan took a closer look at him, then smiled and said:

"Your Highness, since you know the dangers of Xiqi, and that Xiqi is incompatible with Mingyang, you used to use Xiqi to seek Mingyang without any harm, but now you are trying to catch fish in a tree, isn't that just courting death?"

This question struck Li Ximing right in the heart, almost forcing out all his doubts:
'That's right... 'Xiqi' seeking 'Mingyang' is indeed seeking death. I think that adding a 'Huangyuan Pass' to the magical power of 'Xiqi' is already a death that cannot be further dead!'

Li Ximing was silent for a long time and asked:

"That's right. Mingyang and Xiqi are incompatible. How can the Great Immortal stand in the 'Huangyuan Pass' in the rolling Xiqi?"

Diyan with his hands behind his back:

"Your Highness's guess is correct. It is impossible to prove it. If someone else were to do it, they wouldn't even be able to cultivate my first few magical powers. It's just that I borrowed the legacy of my ancestors."

Di Yan slightly turned sideways, causing all the white colors in the hall to fade and turn, like real swords, deflecting their blades and shining to the side.

"My ancestor Yin Ni was originally a young man from Guanlong. He practiced Taoism in a temple, but could not get any inspiration for ten years. He joined the army in anger and made many extraordinary achievements. In the Immortal Palace, he obtained the [36 Books of Xuankun] from his predecessors and became a supernatural power. He once raised his practice to the peak of the Purple Palace. When he was named King Zhaoming, he was rampant in Mobei. So he rewrote the [36 Books of Xuankun] and combined it with the method of seeking gold given by the Emperor to cultivate the [Kunhuang Mingfu Daojuan]."

"After finishing this scroll, the lord went to seek the real gold, using the first great barrier of the North [Shen Fu] as a furnace, and his magical powers, soul and spirit as medicine, to seek the elixir. After refining it for nine days, the emperor personally helped him achieve enlightenment!"

He looked melancholy, sighed deeply, and said:
"It's a pity that the master borrowed a lot from him when he became a Taoist, and the gods strangled him to death. He couldn't find it in the nine days, and he fell from the sky."

Li Ximing listened with a solemn expression and asked:

"Borrow more of his Xuan, and hang him to death?"

Di Yan closed his eyes slightly, looking somewhat depressed:
"The so-called [Other Mysteries], the Land of Buddhism is one, the Heavenly Dynasty is another. Using one's own body to borrow the Mysteries of others, without cultivating one's own nature and destiny, is called [borrowing many other Mysteries]. There are so many in the world! Even if we leave aside the Land of Buddhism and the Heavenly Dynasty, the so-called Eastern Heyun, Jianshan Tianjiao, and the West Sea... are also borrowing other Mysteries. They can borrow the Dao, but they cannot seek the Dao."

Li Ximing had long experienced that the cultivators of the Wei Kingdom relied on their official positions to gain supernatural powers. Diyan also mentioned that Yin Ni Temple had practiced Taoism for ten years without any energy. This person must have also relied on the Heavenly Dynasty for most of his practice. However, Li Ximing only understood a little bit of this and said hesitantly:
"But...Dharma..."

Di Yan said calmly:

"In today's world, is there any Dharma image that can achieve enlightenment?"

"Did the Lianmin and Maha among the Buddhists cultivate themselves? Most of them waited for a position to become vacant, and then they found an opportunity to climb up. There are also differences in the Dharma images. The earliest ones were great and powerful, and they were wise and aware of heaven and earth. Later, they were reincarnated for nine lifetimes, changed their nature, and became Dharma images after attaining enlightenment. The later ones... waited for nine lifetimes, and succeeded others' positions, and they were just the superficial Dharma images."

His expression faltered, as if he had concerns, and he said:
"In short, borrowing too much from him will greatly harm the attainment of Taoism. The six founding kings, Xuanji, Zhaoming, Baiyang, Yongqin, Shouyi, and Luanfu, all died in succession and were unable to achieve Taoism."

"Later, the Wei Kingdom was destroyed and my ancestors were lost in the sea, but the [Kunhuang Mingfu Daojuan] and [Zhaoming Wang Daozang] were passed down. They are rich in spiritual energy and spiritual resources. They were passed down by the royal family for three generations and were only used up when they came into my hands."

He smiled and said:
"You cannot bear to see others practicing Xiqi here, because this way is passed down from generation to generation, and only the king can practice it. I am not bad in talent. I was 136 years old when I reached the purple state. When I break through to the great immortal, I still have 300 years to live."

When Li Ximing heard this, he was shocked.

Back then, Jiang Boqing practiced the complicated "Upper Witchcraft". Besides practicing talismans and witchcraft, he built the foundation at the age of thirty and the purple mansion at the age of sixty. Building the foundation at the age of thirty was not difficult for a peerless genius. Li Zhouwei had even built the foundation in his early twenties, but it still took him forty years from building the foundation to the purple mansion.

But Diyan has no talismanic energy to assist his practice. Even if he can reach the Purple Palace at the age of sixty, he will need to refine his supernatural powers one by one and pass the Purple Palace easily before he can attain the four supernatural powers within two hundred years...Now, perhaps only Li Zhouwei, with such a fate as his, and with the whole world pushing him forward, has a hope of being faster than Diyan!
Di Yan saw the surprise in Li Ximing's eyes, smiled faintly, and replied:

"After the Purple Stage, I spent thirty years cultivating the Dao and refining my magical powers to secure my position as a great immortal. After that, I pondered over the choice of my last magical power for twenty years. The last one in the [Kunhuang Mingfu Daoist Scroll] is exactly 'Ming Yang'."

He paced forward and said softly:
"If I continue to follow the path of Xiqi, I will naturally have the aura of perfect supernatural powers. However, the Xiqi Daoism in me is the avenue modified by the Heavenly Dynasty, which is completely different from the current one. If I continue to follow the path of Xiqi, I will have supernatural powers, but I will have no hope of obtaining gold."

Li Ximing had some doubts and whispered:
"But the [Kunhuang Mingfu Daojuan] can achieve enlightenment - most of our predecessors borrowed from him and could not achieve enlightenment, but the Great Immortal is different, he cultivates his own nature, so there is great hope?"

Di Yan shook his head and smiled:
"Your Highness is wrong. This is not a promising prospect. It is just a way to your own death."

Di Yan's smile became even colder, and he replied:
"I will never be able to prove my wish for a leap year. Not only will I never be able to prove it, but if I take another step, I will be dead soon!"

Li Ximing stared at him blankly, but saw Di Yan walking up with a smile, and said in a faint voice:
"Your Highness guessed correctly that the Emperor has not really fallen, at least not now. The [Kunhuang Mingfu Daojuan] and the [Kunhuang Jinlianfa] he left behind are still effective in front of Mingyang. But Your Highness should have thought that Mingyang has not really changed, but Xiqi has changed! Although the old Taoist tradition can be practiced, it is no longer compatible with Mingyang!"

"Once the 'Huang Yuan Guan' is completed, the four 'Xi Qi' magical powers in my body will be overturned immediately, the colors will be inward, and the blue and white will blend into one. As time goes by, the darkness will soon give rise to the dark, and the broken will rise to the sun!"

Li Ximing's doubts were suddenly confirmed, and his heart was filled with light:
'This is in line with common sense! This is the result that should be achieved... Even if my cultivation level is low, I know how demanding it is to cultivate a magical power at the same time. How can I possibly cultivate a magical power that conflicts with the current Taoist traditions in the world! It would be a miracle if Mingyang could hold on for a year or two without dying!'

As expected, Di Yan fixed his gaze on the copper lamp beside him, flicked the wick slightly, and said softly:

"Use this [32nd Generation Night Mysterious Copper Treasure Lamp] to create a room, mix one male fire and one yang, and echo with the three yangs. With the help of the remaining master-servant magic of the other two yangs, I can suppress the four yangs and one yang in my body."

Li Ximing once again looked around the vast hall with tung trees and raised his eyebrows and said:

"It turns out that the Great Immortal has been prepared for a long time."

"It's not something I prepared for."

Di Yan lowered his brows and turned his head, his expression calm, and said:
"When Mingyang fell, my ancestor Yin Guan had already passed the stage of Sanzi. At first, he was still doing better and could still wander overseas. Later, the actions of Emperor Qi became more and more cruel. He gradually had signs of his magical powers disintegrating. He suppressed them with the Three Yang Formation while conducting careful research."

"Before he died, he left behind a battle formation diagram, which was completed and built one by one by my grandfather and father, and combined with the many secret methods in the [Kunhuang Mingfu Daojuan], we have today's [Sanyang Yuxi Palace] and [32nd Generation Yexuan Copper Treasure Lamp]."

Li Ximing listened for a long time without saying anything, and realized that Qu Sishan had been planning this for not just one or two days, but hundreds or thousands of years, so he said in a deep voice:
"Great Immortal...why would you need the King of Wei?"

Di Yan suddenly opened his eyes, his expression solemn:
"I want the King of Wei to achieve success - I am the only one who really cares about the King of Wei's success."

His pupils showed circles of flame-like patterns due to his emotional fluctuations, showing broken black lines:

"When I said that I was the only person the King of Wei could trust, it was not an empty statement. Everyone in the world wanted to shake Mingyang, and some wanted to hold back Luoxia, but they didn't care whether the King of Wei could succeed. For them, it would be better if the King of Wei failed!"

"The Dragons must be very confident, but they are just following the trend, trying to win big with a small investment. Even if they fail, the Dragons will just lose a little bit of opportunity and chance!"

"Only me."

His tone was as hard as stone, his eyes were cold:

"Only when King Wei achieves success, the bright sun rises again, suppressing the Xiqi, my magical powers will naturally transform from a side path to a glorious and righteous path, and then I can walk out of this place calmly and freely, step down to the sixteenth level of the Xuan Stage, seek gold and truth, and give it a try!"

"Otherwise, you will just be a pile of dried bones in a grave, waiting to die!"

Li Ximing looked him straight in the eye, the last bit of suspicion in his heart surfaced. Seeing Di Yan's sincere feelings and unwillingness to act, he finally stopped being silent and said in a deep voice:

"The Great Immortal is extremely talented, and is one of the best in the entire sea. Even if he is practicing 'Xiqi' normally, how can it be bad!"

His eyes were bright and seemed to be filled with sorrow. He said:
"How does the current King of Wei compare to Li Xunquan? How does he compare to Li Xuan? How does he compare to Donghuo? Li Xunquan raised an army of righteousness and nearly destroyed the Great Qi. Cui Mu of Donghuo once pretended to be the True Lord and intimidated the Northern Cultivators. Even Li Xuan - he has the land of Longwei as his supreme ruler, so he doesn't have to be inferior to others!"

"Now the Northern Buddhism is rampant and it is easy to come and go. The Song Dynasty is glorious. Mingyang has been captured. Luoxia Muxian will be exiled to the emperor. If the King of Wei fails, all the efforts of Qu Si for several lifetimes will be in vain. Why should the Immortal take such a risky move? Why should the possibility of seeking gold be handed over to others? Isn't it better to cultivate Xiqi? Isn't it better to practice reincarnation!"

His tone was crisp and clear, piercing Diyan directly:
"How could a great master who has mastered all five methods tie himself up in knots?"

Di Yan in front of him just laughed, without any time to think, and blurted out in a low and steady voice:

"Because I'm seeking the Golden Law."

Li Ximing had made all kinds of preparations, but he didn't expect the other party to say these words, staring at him:
"Seeking the Golden Law?"

"The most important thing is the method of seeking gold."

Di Yan's bronze eyes blinked, his expression was solemn and dignified to the point of sacredness, his lips and teeth moved, and his voice was low:

"The Emperor specially bestowed the [Kunhuang Gold Gathering Method], so there was the Four Sunshine Qi to lift up the 'Huangyuan Pass' to ascend to the immortal path. It is a method of seeking gold, the secret of true gold, and the immortal book of the great way. With the [Kunhuang Gold Gathering Method], seeking a leap year of the sun has truly become a possible thing!"

As Di Yan's mood fluctuated, the candlelight in the entire hall began to sway, and the Xi Qi and Ma Huo, which were almost condensed into substance, flowed like a flood, trying to break free from the restraints, causing three rays of light to emerge in the sky and suppress this place.

Di Yan didn't care at all. He took a step forward, stared at him, and said calmly:

“Your Highness, do you think that the [Three Yang Yuxi Palace] and the [32nd Generation Night Mysterious Copper Treasure Lamp] are so easy to build? Without the [Kunhuang Gold Collection Method], Qu Si will not be able to build such a large formation even if he spends another thousand years. Without the [Kunhuang Gold Collection Method], even if I stay here, my magical powers will suddenly disintegrate!”

“But as long as I have this method of seeking gold, I have now taken the great medicine of the Three Yangs in One to suppress my magical powers. I can take a step forward and seek gold even if I risk damaging my rising yang. This is still more likely to succeed than if I use the Five Suns magical powers alone to seek the fruition!”

His expression was gloomy, and the violent fluctuations of magical power coming from his body made the entire hall like hell on earth. After an unknown amount of time, Di Yan slightly opened his lips with a solemn expression:

"I have no choice, and neither does the King of Wei or His Highness."
