Taoist Master Xuanhuang

"What black lotus? Where did the saint come from? This black lotus is clearly evil..." Before Lin Fan could finish his words, Xiao Cao quickly covered his mouth, so he couldn't say the last word.
"Wuwuwu, take your hands away." Lin Fan struggled.

"Calm down. The Black Lotus is a spiritual root and treasure cultivated by the Taoist master himself. It is similar to Lord Jianmu." Jin Ning said hurriedly.

“What’s similar to…” Lin Fan suddenly stopped and asked fiercely: “Well, what, an existence similar to Lord Jianmu, the spiritual root and spiritual treasure newly cultivated by the Taoist master?”

After I reacted, the anger in my heart suddenly disappeared.

It turned out to be the spiritual root and spiritual treasure newly cultivated by the Taoist master, which he had not mentioned earlier.

"Ahem, I just said that Xiaocao has become more beautiful. It turns out that Lord Black Lotus has recognized her as a saint. Haha..."

Lin Fan smiled awkwardly.

"..." Jin Ning was a little speechless, and said: "The thirty-six lotus seeds are the spiritual roots newly cultivated by the Taoist master. Due to the third-level limit, they were moved to the Qingyun Mountain Holy Land and scattered around the entire Qingyun Mountain... Lord Tunxing Teng is close to the water and the moon is first. With Lord Tunxing's introduction, Xiaocao... You are not here, how can we not be optimistic about your sister, you conscienceless thing..."

After Jin Ning's introduction, the reason was made clear.

When Xuan Huang was about to break through to the fourth level, thirty-six lotus seeds were placed around Qingyun Mountain, which happened to be neighbors with the Star-Swallowing Vine.

Because of its simplicity and honesty, the Star-Swallowing Vine was very close to Xiaocao when Xiaocao was a child.

Xiaocao's Star-Swallowing Vine spirit seed is the best. Xiaocao doesn't even need to cultivate it herself. It is Star-Swallowing Vine that helps her cultivate it.

Currently, the Star-Swallowing Spirit Seeds are scattered throughout the world of cultivators, but so far no spirit seed has been cultivated to the third-order Dongxuan level. After all, it is very difficult and requires a lot of resources. The Star-Swallowing Vine has only entered the third level for a few years.

The original mother plant has not even entered the third stage, so how could its seed enter so quickly?

However, there are already powerful forces that have cultivated the Star-Swallowing Vine's spirit seeds to the middle and late second stage.

Xiaocao's Star-Swallowing Vine has already reached the third level. Even though Xiaocao is only at the second level, she has a third-level boss by her side.

Lin Fan only saw his sister's cultivation level, but didn't expect that he had a big boss by his side. If a fight really broke out, even though he was the founder of a sect, he would not be able to defeat Xiaocao who had the third-level Star-Swallowing Vine.

Moreover, to put it bluntly, even without the help of the Star-Swallowing Vine, Lin Fan might not be able to defeat Xiaocao in a pure competition of combat power.

The Black Lotus Saint is still presentable.

When it comes to the gestation of lotus seeds, Xuan Huang had no rules at the beginning and gave them all the good things without using any of them.

From the various gray, black, white and red fragments at the beginning, all kinds of weird origins, etc., as well as the feedback brought by Xuan Huang's each advancement, etc.

At the beginning, there was no specific idea for cultivating the thirty-six lotus seeds.

But anyway, life has its own way out.

Slowly, the thirty-six lotus seeds found their own direction.

Specifically, there are nine categories in groups of four, corresponding to the nine days.

The beginning of human practice is to learn from the heaven and earth. Similarly, all things in the world are the same. It is also a process of learning from the heaven and earth.

The most magical existence in the entire universe is the Nine Heavens, which is the dark side of a complete world. The thirty-six lotus seeds evolved in this direction.

The red lotus of the sea of ​​blood, the black lotus of the abyss, the purple lotus of the realm of karma, the yellow lotus of the underworld, the white lotus of the sea of ​​spiritual suffering, the colorful lotus of the dream world, the blue lotus of the heaven, the glazed lotus of Guixu, and the golden lotus of the wild sky, the last day of the nine days.

The Black Lotus of the Abyss, as can be seen from Xiaocao's charming temperament and temptation, is extremely similar to the abyss. It is not a simple seduction, but a fatality that makes people fall into the abyss.

Mainly the soul type, among the nine lotuses, the reason why Black Lotus chose Xiaocao was because of his innate soul talent.

After all, her brother was a body cultivator, but her teachers had always been Zhu Zishan and many Confucian masters of spiritual cultivation.

Of course, this was only at the beginning. Later, with the help of Tunxing, the Gate of Time and Dream, Madam White Bone, and even Star Mother Yuanjun, all gave Xiaocao special care and guidance.

Although Xiaocao does not have a clear teacher, she has teachers everywhere in Qingyun Mountain, and there are countless masters.

Needless to say, now that Black Lotus exists, Xiaocao has met a lifelong mentor.

As for the so-called Holy Maiden, she was actually developed by the Thirty-Six Lotus Seeds based on the performance of Liu Wenhe and Palace Master Sun Tong.

This was achieved under the guidance of Jianmu.

Liu Wenhe is bound to the Qingyun Boat, which can improve his qualifications and origins, and the Qingyun Boat has gained intelligence that is difficult to obtain through the Creation Method, as mentioned earlier.

The same is true for the thirty-six lotus seeds, except that they are slightly different from the Qingyun Boat.

The thirty-six lotus seeds also have a similar binding resonance. They use the good fortune to enhance the qualifications and origin of the Saint Maiden and the Saint Son, and in turn use the wisdom of the Saint Son and the Saint Maiden.

They share wisdom, origin and creation, and complement each other.

Without Xuan Huang's personal nurturing, the thirty-six lotus seeds also need to work hard on their own. Master Xuan Huang has many treasures, and they are all working so hard. If they don't fight, they will be eliminated.

Once we have a sense of crisis, we will encounter what happened to Xiaocao.

The difference is that the thirty-six lotus seeds are not bound by themselves, but like the Star-Swallowing Vine, they give birth to a lotus seed, let the lotus seed bind to the Saint Maiden and the Son, and then pass it back to them.

This is the difference between him and Liu Wenhe. Liu Wenhe was appointed by Xuanhuang himself. Although Liu Wenhe respects Qingyunzhou very much, their identities are actually the same.

It's the kind that really complements each other.

The little grass is a little bit lacking. It is not qualified to fuse and resonate with the thirty-six original lotus seeds. It can only fuse with the spirit seeds bred by the thirty-six original lotus seeds.

The Black Lotus will take the lead, and as long as this method works, the other eight groups of lotus seeds will do the same, selecting some saint sons and saint daughters to form a subordinate force of theirs.

Let’s count the beginning of the Xuanhuang Dharma transmission, the original four super sects were Buddhism, Taoism, Confucianism, and the Martial Arts Alliance.

The later eight major ones were: Yuanzhen Sect, Diting Tower, Warriors Alliance, Baicao Pavilion, Spirit Beast Sect, University Alliance, Small World Alliance, and Equipment Refining Alliance.

This is the initial factional context.

Later, true independent cultivators appeared, real independent cultivators outside the 30,000 cultivators in Qingyun Mountain.

There is also the Wandao Alliance developed by Yan Hui, and various people who use skills to enter the Dao.

In addition, there are small sects and forces, small family forces, medium-sized sects and forces, and medium-sized family forces scattered around the place.

There are ghost cultivators who emerged due to the opening up of the underworld, god cultivators who emerged due to faith, and the spiritual beast forces led by the Tushan Holy Mother who emerged due to the spiritual beasts.

Many forces have developed.

Not to mention the killer alliance created by Xuanying, the sword cultivators founded by Void Blade, the world-destroying army led by Star Mother Yuanjun, and the Zerg.

Scarecrow hopes his brother will develop an army of spiritual plant masters.

A lineage of fate-based monks founded by the Wanling Palace.

In addition, there are not many to mention the various talisman practitioners developed from the "Talisman Dao Jing", and there are countless forces such as alchemy, refining, and the hundred arts.

Even Wu Tong's "Poison Method" has developed into a series of sects and forces, including raising Gu and using poison.

Moreover, Xuanhuang's treasures are planning to recruit subordinate monks, which will mean the rise of another force. The Thirty-Six Lotus Seeds are also following the trend and plan to use the method of the Holy Son and the Holy Daughter to develop subordinate monks of their own.

There are numerous forces, and there are no less than a thousand that are well-known and somewhat famous, and there are even more forces that are not well-known and are on the verge of collapse.

No matter what, since Xuan Huang began to spread his teachings throughout the world, several decades have passed and a prosperous era of spiritual practice has been created.

What is lacking is time. Although there are numerous forces at present, they are not strong enough. At least every force must have reached the level of the fourth-order true king to be considered a major force that can be passed down for ten thousand years.

But the foundation is there, all that is lacking is time.

Lin Fan returned to the Holy Land with the intention of integrating his own lineage of "Alchemy of All Qis". He would follow the path of Wang Zihao, the doctor and others.

He would not form a force on his own. Even if Wang Zihao formed a force on his own, it would be Baicao Pavilion, not a cultivation force like "Inner Scene Spiritual Root Method".

Lin Fan intends to follow in the footsteps of his predecessors and spread the knowledge, but he will not form his own exclusive force.

Just be a nominal golden-bodied master, and your disciples will be all over the world.

There are many benefits to doing this, the most important of which is that it reduces cause and effect. You owe me cause and effect by learning my Dharma, but you are not my subordinates, so the trouble you cause is none of my business.

All I need is the luck that I have gathered. The rest depends on personal luck. I will not use the name of righteousness to control anyone. It has nothing to do with me.

This is the best way.

This will also spread more widely.

If everyone who learns his Golden Body Technique has to join the force he has formed, then many people will hesitate and will not learn the Golden Body Technique.

This will reduce the efficiency of communication and the cost will outweigh the benefits.

……

Back to Xiaocao, Xiaocao looked at her brother with a smile and felt that she had changed.

I used to be very dependent on my brother, and I still love him very much now, but that sense of dependence is much less and I can live independently now.

And she also had a great mission, which she knew the moment she became a saint.

Lord Black Lotus chose me as an experiment. As long as I succeed, the thirty-six Lords of Lotus will develop into a subordinate force in the future.

And I am the pioneer, a 'test subject', but the kind with quotation marks.

There's nothing wrong with being a test subject. This is Qingyun Mountain, and we all started out as Master Xuan's test subjects.

Even the four supers and eight majors, and various methods also started with experiments.

Because exploration and experimentation are popular here, no one is averse to experimentation.

Just like the real boss Sweeping Monk. Speaking of the Sweeping Monk, the dream monks led by him are also one of the thousands of forces and should not be underestimated.

The Sweeping Monk started out by conducting experiments on himself.

There are also more extreme examples like Doctor, Wild Taoist, etc., who also use themselves as experimental subjects, and thus have achieved their current achievements.

Including Sect Master Yuan Tianchun of Yuanzhen Sect, Pavilion Master Wang Zihao of Baicao Pavilion, Pavilion Master Bai Xiaosheng of Diting Tower and so on, all of them started by using themselves as experiments.

It's actually pretty nice to be a 'guinea pig'.

Some people are quite like guinea pigs and are not even qualified yet.

Xiaocao is no longer the weak grass she used to be. She is now a saint and the first saint of the thirty-six lotus flowers. With her identity comes the responsibilities she must bear.

She believed that responsibility made her strong.

My brother became strong because of me, and at that time I became his responsibility to protect him and raise him.

And at this moment, she has to "raise" the identity of the saint.

"Brother, I am no weaker than you now, don't worry too much about me. Tomorrow, the monks of the Golden Body Technique will gather in South City, you should go and prepare early. Anyway, you are back, and we have plenty of time."

Small grass path.

"Huh?" Lin Fan was still not used to it.

"By the way, brother, my name is Lin Heicao now. How about that, right?" Xiaocao said.

"This? This?" Lin Fan staggered and almost fell, looking at Jin Ning hesitantly.

"Don't look at me like that. It's none of my business. I advised Xiaocao that she could change her name, but she didn't listen and insisted on calling herself Lin Heicao. I'm also very depressed about this." Jin Ning waved his hands quickly.

He tried to persuade Lin Fan not to look at him that way, but he refused to listen.

"Master Jin Ning, brother, don't be like this. It's just a name. There's nothing wrong with it. There's nothing wrong with Xiaocao. It represents my tenacious life. Black is the essence of Master Black Lotus, and Lin is my surname given by my parents. I can't give up any of them. I am the Black Lotus Saint, or the Black Grass Saint. There's nothing wrong with that."

Xiao Cao spoke with her own opinion, not giving Lin Fan a chance to persuade her.

"You, as long as you are happy, I don't care."

Lin Fan looked at his sister's eyes, which had never been firmer than before, and decided not to persuade her. Let Lin Heicao be Lin Heicao.

As my sister said, we can't give up on any of that, and from now on everyone will only call her the Saint. No one will care about her real name. It doesn't matter whether it's important or not.

It is very important to the grass, but not important at all to outsiders.

"Well, I'll go first then." Lin Fan said.

"You should thank Lord Tunxing." Jin Ning reminded.

"Yes, yes, thank you Lord Tunxing for taking care of Xiaocao. Thank you for your advice to Xiaocao. Thank you Lord Tunxing." Lin Fan finally reacted.

Without Star Tunxing's introduction, there would be no Black Lotus Saint today.

This is our great benefactor. He has always taken good care of Xiaocao before and is even more so now. I don’t know how to repay him.

“……” Tunxing waved the vines, as if to say that he understood.

"Hehehe..." Only Xiaocao couldn't help laughing.

"Ahem, what did Lord Tunxing say?" Lin Fan asked.

I always feel that my sister's laughter is strange.

"Lord Tunxing said he knew, but didn't say anything." Xiaocao replied.

Lin Fan knew that this was definitely not true, but he didn't dare to ask.

He bowed to the Star-Swallowing Vine again and again before following Jin Ning away.

"Hmph, Stinky Swallow Star, don't say that about my brother. I'm angry."

Watching his brother and Lord Jin Ning walking away, Xiaocao began to blame the Star-Swallowing Vine.

In front of others, she calls Tunxing "Lord Tunxing", but when there is no one around, she can call him whatever she wants.

As playmates growing up, they never get angry no matter how they call each other. Xiaocao has always regarded Tunxing as his childhood friend and buddy.

The same is true for the simple Star-Swallowing Vine.
