After the Skyfall

Chapter 571 Incense and Practice
After Li Yi entered the Wuji Palace, he used the Heaven and Earth Qi Gathering Method to gather the spiritual energy of heaven and earth within a radius of hundreds of miles. While inhaling and exhaling, he used the twelve energies of heart fire to refine the golden energy in it and took it into the lungs.

It was just that with the help of the power of incense and faith, the magic he cast was incredibly powerful. Moreover, after becoming the imperial teacher, even though he was in the palace and was suppressed by the emperor's aura, it did not have a big impact on his practice.

Just for a moment.

The palace he was in was like a huge furnace, with red clouds filling the air all around. Although no flames were visible, being in it felt like being in a sea of ​​fire.

Neither the Jinyiwei nor the Jintongwei had any way to get close to this palace.

If it were an ordinary person, as soon as he got close, his body would be melted by the heart fire and turned into ashes.

Under such a grand vision, the acupoints in Li Yi's body were quickly filled up, and his strength was increasing rapidly. Moreover, as time passed, the scope of this spell was getting bigger, because his name as the national teacher was intentionally spread by the Shenwu Emperor Li Jiye.

Although Li Jiye verbally wanted to deal with the ministers, he had actually planned everything long ago, so he only needed to give an order and the Jinyiwei would move out in groups to spread the name of Taiyi Zhenren throughout the world.

So in the past few days, the power of incense and faith that Li Yi obtained continued to increase.

"What an incredible way of cultivation. This fairy lady is extremely gifted and has unparalleled Taoism. Even so, it took me nearly two hundred years to cultivate to the Three Flowers Realm. But according to Taiyi's way of cultivation, he will be able to achieve the Five Qis and nourish the Three Flowers in at most one year."

At this moment, thanks to the aroma of incense, the soul flower of Xiang Xiangzi, one of the Seven Fairies, became more condensed.

Her soul is also constantly recovering at this moment. It was originally just like a baby, but now it has grown into a child with clear facial features and a solid body. If it continues like this, her soul will be completely recovered within ten days.

Although she knew that all this was fake and that she would immediately return to her original form once she left the scent of incense, this change visible to the naked eye was truly fascinating.

Two hundred years of spiritual power is not as good as a few days here.

This kind of contrast made this fairy lady, who was once at the level of Three Flowers, gasp in amazement.

No wonder Taiyi likes cross-border.

Practicing multiple methods at the same time is simply abnormal. The countless years of evolution and accumulation of a world are seized in one day, turned into one's own use, and complement each other. It is simply too happy.

"It's too easy. Unfortunately, your foundation is too strong. After opening the twelve heart fire acupoints, you also opened the twelve lung gold acupoints. Otherwise, you would have been able to cross the Five Qi Realm in one day."

Xiang Xiangzi added, "However, a strong foundation will bring endless benefits. In the future, when your five qi converge and the three flowers gather at the top of your head, you will become a dragon-tiger fairy with boundless magical power. In this case, I will lend you a helping hand and help you comprehend the two great methods of Big and Small Ruyi and Overturning Rivers and Seas, and I will teach them all to you. In addition, I also learned some of the bald man's rain-calling method in the cultivation world, and I will pass it on to you this time."

Her spirit had revived at the moment, and since she had nothing to do, she immediately went to learn the other two top Taoist techniques for Li Yi.

"Okay, then I'll trouble you, Fairy." Li Yi took out the picture album containing the two Taoist techniques.

The techniques of Big and Small Ruyi and Turning Rivers and Seas Upside Down were used to seize Tianyi Sect in the world of cultivation in the Dharma Ending Age. He has not had the time to learn and comprehend them until now. It is the best thing that Xiang Xiangzi is willing to help him now.

"Use the power of incense and faith to comprehend magic and use it for your own benefit. This is the right way."

After Xiang Xiangzi finished speaking, she formed a seal with her hands, and her soul sat cross-legged on the soul flower. The scent of incense surrounded her, and she tried to fully understand the two spells.

Even for a top-notch Taoist master like her, it would take a decade of hard practice to completely learn a top-notch spell, master it skillfully, and integrate it into her.

Therefore, most of the masters of Taoism will not focus their energy on the study of Taoist techniques, but will focus more on nurturing the three flowers and striving to achieve enlightenment as soon as possible.

Fortunately, among the Seven Fairies there was a master like Xiang Xiangzi who was good at fighting, otherwise the three major Taoist methods of the Tiandao Sect might be faced with being lost in the Dharma Ending Age.

However, Xiang Xiangzi's soul on the soul flower suddenly became much larger, but then shrank again. Occasionally, her head became bigger, but her hands and feet did not change. She was constantly changing big and small. She was studying the art of Ruyi, which was the most miraculous magic of Tianyi Sect and was more powerful than her art of subduing dragons and tigers.

However, this magic is easy to learn but difficult to master, and only a few people can practice it to perfection.

However, in Xiang Xiangzi's opinion, the three-flower realm masters of Tianyi Sect were too useless. If she came to practice, this problem would definitely not exist.

And when Xiang Xiangzi was practicing magic.

Li Yi, however, has been refining golden energy during this period of time, and now it has filled the three major acupoints, and the speed is still accelerating, because the scent of incense around him is becoming thicker and thicker, which causes the range in which he can absorb the energy of heaven and earth to become wider and wider. The twelve strands of heart fire energy are constantly running, refining the golden energy from the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

Only half a day had passed.

Li Yi's six major acupoints were filled with golden energy, and with only six acupoints left, he would be able to successfully break through to the second level of the Five Qi Realm.

"Taiyi, you are already very skilled in absorbing gold energy. Why don't you do two things at once and continue to open up new acupoints."

Suddenly, Xiang Xiangzi saw that Li Yi was so skilled in his practice, and the energy from the incense was beneficial and harmless, and so easy to control, so he made this suggestion.

"Heart is fire, lungs are metal, fire overcomes metal, metal overcomes wood, and wood can produce fire, so the next point I should open is the Liver Wood Acupoint?" Li Yi asked.

"That's right, Taiyi, you have already gained a lot of insights into cultivation. You have to open up the Liver Wood Acupoint at the third level of the Five Qi Realm." Xiang Xiangzi praised.

"Let me try." Li Yi started to try it immediately. He tried to do two things at once, trying to make a qualitative transformation of his strength in the shortest possible time. So when he was still in the second level of the Five Qi Realm, he was already thinking about the third level of the Five Qi Realm.

However, having used the energy of incense before, he already had experience this time.

The aroma of the incense is absorbed into the body, transforming into an invisible force that rushes into the body. This force does not harm the body, but can bring all kinds of incredible abilities, just like making a wish, and making your wishes come true.

soon.

The seed of an acupoint was quietly formed.

As qi and blood flowed in, the acupoints were successfully opened up.

However, as soon as this acupoint was opened, a breath of energy from the surrounding heaven and earth rushed into the acupoint intentionally or unintentionally.

However, this change instantly caused the twelve heart fire energies to riot, waking Li Yi up directly.

"Taiyi, don't be anxious. You don't have enough metal energy and cannot balance the five elements. The Liver Wood acupoints can only be opened up but not used to absorb energy. Otherwise, the Heart Fire Energy will use the liver wood energy to get into trouble." Xiang Xiangzi felt the change in the breath and explained immediately.

Li Yi nodded in agreement, determined to take this as a warning and not let something like this happen again.

But just when he was practicing.

The court meeting had ended long ago.

Apart from the fact that Taiyi was appointed as the national teacher, Prince Xin was rather unlucky. Although he did not die because he entered the capital without an imperial edict, he lost his status as a prince and became an ordinary prince again. Moreover, he was not allowed to leave the capital from now on. It was not clear whether this was good or bad for him.

At the same time, after the court meeting ended, there was turmoil in the capital.

The gods of incense and worship from all sides gradually received the news that Master Taiyi was named the National Master.

This shocked many incense gods, because this was the first major event in several dynasties.

How could a hermit from the mountains who did not belong to the royal family rise to the top overnight, become the imperial teacher, and enjoy the worship of the whole world?

Is it possible that the current emperor is a tyrant, and must give part of his huge wealth to outsiders?
The hidden officials immediately informed the Yin emperors of the matter to see what the late emperor thought of it.

But it is not difficult to see from these behaviors.

No one wants a national master to appear and divide up the world's incense offerings. After all, the incense offerings have been fully distributed. When someone is canonized as a god, someone else is dismissed. The appearance of Li Yi is equivalent to snatching away a part of the incense offerings from everyone. The more incense offerings a god has, the greater the loss will be, and naturally it is easy to incur public anger.

But Li Yi and Li Jiye had already thought of this result.

After all, compared to this, replacing the crown prince would cause more noise, take longer, and be more troublesome.

at the same time.

There is a palace not far from Wuji Palace.

This is the Prince’s Eastern Palace.

At this moment, Crown Prince Zhao Jing was standing at the gate of the palace, gazing at the magnificent Wuji Palace not far away. Although he was an ordinary man, he could feel some changes taking place in the Wuji Palace. Even at such a long distance, he could still feel a burst of heat blowing in his face, making his mouth dry and his whole body hot.

"Are you sure you didn't see it wrong? Does the Taoist Taiyi really have the aura of a dragon and a tiger?" Zhao Jing frowned, his expression very solemn.

“Prince, there is absolutely no mistake. That Master Taiyi does have the aura of a dragon and a tiger. Not only did I see it, but other officials who have practiced cultivation also saw it. Moreover, the aura of a dragon and a tiger of Master Taiyi is extremely strong and is definitely not ordinary.” An official whispered at this moment.

Crown Prince Zhao Jing did not doubt that what the official said was false.

Indeed, there are many people who can read people's temperament. This matter is of great importance, so there is no need to lie and get into trouble.

"Since ancient times, only the emperor has the spirit of dragon and tiger. Even this prince only has the spirit of a young dragon. Why does a mountain Taoist have the spirit of dragon and tiger? Moreover, my father thinks highly of this person and made him the national teacher against all odds. He also gave him the Wuji Palace, Jinyiwei, and Jintongwei. Before this, my father lived in seclusion and had never met any Taoists."

"Unless, this Taoist already knew my father before he ascended the throne."

Crown Prince Zhao Jing began to think at this moment.

These behaviors of the emperor were very abnormal and inconsistent with his previous ones. Others might just think that this was the emperor's willfulness or a test of the world, but Zhao Jing did not think so.

He is the crown prince, and what he cares most about are the people and things around the emperor.
