Tao and Heaven

Chapter 118: The Thirty-Six Methods of Immortality: The Golden Elixir Method

Gu Wen raised his hand and pierced Jun Yan with a sword. The aura of the true swordsmanship immediately weakened when it touched the demonic energy, just like a flame being extinguished instantly when it meets water.

As the condensed immortal sword was pulled away, Jun Yan let out a low groan.

"Ah, thank you."

Then he lay on the ground, motionless, without breath or even a pulse.

"Dead?" Gu Wen was shocked and rushed forward to check. Jun Yan's heartbeat and pulse had completely disappeared, and even his spiritual breath seemed extremely weak.

"Don't worry, this is another effect of the Heavenly Magic, fake death. Jun Yan can come back to life even if his head is chopped off, but if a second head grows, it may not be him anymore."

Xiao Yunyi, whose arm had just been reattached, came over. Regenerating a broken arm requires the assistance of special elixirs, but if it has just been broken off and then reattached, it can be done with any healing technique.

Gu Wen asked, "Do we really not need to care about him?"

Under the current circumstances, the most uncontrollable person is Jun Yan. Akabane's illness is just a way of making himself feel uncomfortable, Yujianfo's illness can only make him autistic, and Jun Yan is the one who might really stab you in the back.

They were not close friends, and Gu Wen's first impression of him was not very good, so he was cautious and wanted to take some measures.

But Xiao Yunyi had to ask, not because he was afraid of the other party, but just a basic social etiquette. He and Jun Yan were good friends, and taking action himself might cause a conflict. Gu Wen never took action when he could solve the problem with his mouth.

"Fellow Daoist Xiao, I think."

Before he could finish his words, Xiao Yunyi raised his hand and the sword energy turned into a needle that pierced into Jun Yan's dantian. This action was similar to piercing a person's collarbone.

Once a cultivator's Dantian is pinned, it is equivalent to having his neck strangled. Even if he has all kinds of Taoist magic, he will be unable to use it. This can be a mortal enemy for the cultivator.

Gu Wen was stunned and asked, "What are you doing?"

Xiao Yunyi replied: "If it's not Jun Yan who wakes up later, we will kill him once."

Very good and reliable.

Gu Wen curled the corners of his mouth. He had many questions, but it seemed that there was no need to ask.

Perhaps this is the way Xiao Yunyi and Jun Yan get along. They cannot look at things with common sense. Facing a mentally ill patient who may go crazy at any time, they would have to wear explosion-proof equipment in their previous lives, but now it should be no problem with some Dantian sword energy.

Otherwise, Xiao Yunyi would not have asked him to kill Jun Yan some time ago.

Gu Wen looked at Jun Yan, who was lying on the ground like a dead man, and suddenly thought of something. The true meaning of swordsmanship seemed to have a certain inhibitory effect on the magic of heaven.

Although it doesn't have a crushing special attack against swordsmanship, it can at least put out fire with water and cure disease with sword.

Hearing a slight inhalation sound, Gu Wen turned his head to look at the next patient.

In the sword pool a few dozen steps away, Yu Hua threw Chi Yuzi into the sword pool to soak, and the water began to emit a slight steam. The two were talking about something, and Gu Wen gradually heard it clearly as he approached.

"Wine! I need wine. It hurts so much. It hurts so much."

"Bear with it, alcohol can't actually relieve your pain. Your body is comparable to that of a nine-transformation golden elixir. I'm afraid you'll need immortal wine to get you drunk."

"But I don't feel bad when I drink."

"Because you drank alcohol to relieve pain when you were a child, and now you have just become dependent on it. You can tolerate it."

"No, no, give me some wine."

Akabane looked up and saw Gu Wen approaching. His eyes lit up and he asked, "Gu Wen, do you have any wine?"

"Have."

Gu Wen took out the five remaining jars of Tongmai wine without hesitation. Each jar was the size of two palms, and the Qiankun bag could still hold them.

There are only benefits and no harm in satisfying Akabane, a drunkard. Drinking is just a habit for her and it has no harm to her body. It's like a child eating candy, at most it will just cause a cavity, and Gu Wen is just a "good Taoist friend".

"Thanks."

Akabane began to drink Tongmai wine, and in an instant he felt relaxed. After a long sigh, his face was full of intoxication, and he began to slide into the sword pool little by little.

Bubbles will start to appear after a while, so you shouldn't drown.

Yu Hua looked helpless, but did not stop him. He said, "Give me the scabbard."

Gu Wen handed over the scabbard. He knew there was a root of the immortality medicine inside, but for some reason he couldn't pull it out. And he didn't dare to use too much force, for fear of breaking the root.

Yu Hua took the scabbard, lightly touched the sword with his fingertips, and a ray of golden light flew into his palm.

It is the size of a hair and the length of an index finger, emitting a dazzling golden light, like a golden thread.

However, Gu Wen could not detect anything magical about it. He could sense the spirituality of ordinary spiritual herbs as long as he got close to them, and this was especially true for higher-grade herbs.

The elixir might be different and not something they could sense. If they could sense it, the various forces might not have kept such a close eye on them.

"It's just a strand, not even a root, and most of the medicinal power has been absorbed by the scabbard."

Yu Hua sighed slightly and said, "If I had come a few months earlier, perhaps the immortality medicine would still be there, or at least it wouldn't have lost so much of its potency."

Gu Wen asked, "Is this trip in vain?"

"Not really. If this thing can be sent back to Dao Sect and refined into a pill, it can save a dying Tianzun. Taking it directly can also extend one's life by a hundred years."

"Does Dao Sect have other Heavenly Lords?"

Gu Wen seemed to remember only two, one was Yun Miao, the Heavenly Master of Taiqing Sect, and the other was Hua Yang, the Heavenly Master of Shangqing Sect.

"My direct descendant master, Tianzun of the Jade Purity Sect, is already in a semi-sitting state."

This is the first time Yu Hua has revealed his background: his direct master’s master is also his master’s master.

"But now you can't send it out. There's no need to send it out or it will attract countless people to fight for it. You have to hide yourself when you go out later."

"I understand." Gu Wen nodded seriously and said, "I am not inferior to others in hiding."

"."

Yu Hua was silent for a while, then she couldn't help but chuckle twice. She had long been accustomed to Gu Wen's fickleness.

He had just obtained the Immortal Sword and surpassed the swordsmanship geniuses present. He should have been at his most energetic. But when faced with an irresistible problem, Gu Wen never lost his temper.

"I'll go explore the surroundings first to look for the scent of the elixir of immortality. You stay here and keep an eye on these people."

After saying that, Yu Hua turned and left. No one could help her with what she was about to do.

"Grumpy"

Akabane floated up from the water, stuck out half of her head, and said, "It can be seen that she is very special to you."

The Taoist goddess was not familiar with her, but she was very familiar with her. Yu Hua's invincible and transcendent attitude was what people like Chi Yuzi admired the most. She had never seen Yu Hua treat people so gently, and he laughed non-stop while talking.

"I am her protector."

"Bullshit, who doesn't have a protector? I beat all my protectors away. To put it bluntly, protectors are just mediocre people who huddle together for warmth. A true genius doesn't even need a protector."

Akabane raised his chin, looking as arrogant as ever.

"Akabane, you must know that there are always people who are better than you and there are always higher things that are better than you."

Suddenly, a snow-white sword was placed against her head. Although it was not aggressive at all, the aura of the true swordsmanship it exuded made Akabane's heart beat faster.

Gu Wen's expression changed, and he said in a senior manner: "Don't be arrogant, otherwise you will suffer a great loss sooner or later."

He didn't even call them senior or fellow Taoist.

"You guy."

Akabane was so angry that her teeth ached, and her cheeks felt even hotter when she thought of the comforting words she had said to the other person while clinging to his shoulders.

Today, Gu Wen’s strength is still inferior to theirs, but it is only a matter of time before he surpasses them as he has mastered the magic sword. Moreover, if he does not have an opportunity of the same level, it is impossible for him to surpass them again.

But an opportunity comparable to that of the Immortal Sword cannot be found again.

Gu Wen put away the sword and asked, "What do you want the sword for?"

"Didn't you hear it?" Akabane rolled his eyes and said:
"Now I only have one soul and one spirit. The elders of the sect have found many great masters to treat me. The incompleteness of heaven and earth is not a disease, and no medicine can cure it. The only solution is the immortal body."

"What is the immortal body?"

"Above the Vajra Indestructible, everything is indestructible. It's very complicated to explain in detail. You just need to know that I can use the Nine Revolutions Golden Pill to temper my body, and this requires many spiritual treasures and Taoist tools."

Gu Wen understood and continued, "So you have to swallow the immortal sword to cultivate the immortal body?"

If this is the case, their interests are in conflict, and if it is not a win-win situation, Gu Wen will only choose to win himself.

"You can say that, but if I can eat the magic sword, why should I worry about my soul?"

Akabane asked back, she didn't come here for the magic sword in the first place.

"I need the Immortal Sword. With the help of the Immortal Sword's Dao rhythm, I can refine my Dao body, refine my spirit into my flesh and blood, and achieve the true unity of man and god."

“I think we can both win.”

Gu Wen said tentatively, and Chi Yuzi fell silent, his eyes lowered in thought, and after a long while he asked:

"How can we have a win-win situation? Do you still dare to give me the sword? Or the scabbard will do."

"I can borrow it."

"Borrow? Aren't you afraid that I won't return it?"

Akabane couldn't help laughing, but at the same time he was a little curious about what Gu Wen was planning, because he was not a stupid person.

Don't be stupid enough to lend the magic sword to others. Even your own parents can't give such a thing to others.

"I can lend you the scabbard, and you can teach me the Golden Elixir Method."

Gu Wen's true intentions were exposed, but this did not count as taking advantage of someone's misfortune.

Comparing the method to become an immortal and the scabbard of the immortal sword, the latter is more valuable.

"." Akabane fell silent again, which was somewhat out of her plan.

Originally, Chiyuzi didn't know about the magic sword, and almost all the sects did not anticipate the changes in Tianquan Mountain.

Her plan was to beat up Xiao Yunyi, and if he woke up Zhejianshan, she would be rewarded with a Taoist weapon. If he failed to wake him up, she could go to the sword pool. After that, she would continue to go to the several opportunities given by the sect, and use them to slowly nurture the Taoist body.

But these opportunities are actually not enough to cultivate an immortal Taoist body, and it is estimated that they are not even half enough.

The magic sword could make her ascend to heaven, but the scabbard was also enough to save her life, but now it is not hers.

The golden elixir method is not a problem. The problem is that Chiyuzi may have to follow Gu Wen forever and be completely involved in the fight for the elixir of immortality.

A whole stick of incense passed and Chiyuzi remained silent. Gu Wen was not in a hurry. He squatted beside him and put his feet into the sword pool.

Endless sword energy surged in, and without sufficient sword skills, it would vanish in an instant.

The fate pattern vibrated slightly, and the imperial juice began to increase slowly.

【One Year of Imperial Juice】

hiss!
Can you get the Emperor's juice just by soaking your feet?

Gu Wen's attention was immediately diverted to the Emperor's Cream. In the past, in his opinion, the Emperor's Cream was not as good as the Heavenly Marrow, but now, the Emperor's Cream was on par with the Heavenly Marrow.

The essence of heaven lies in understanding, and the essence of emperor lies in intention.

The Emperor's juice can breed Dharma and supernatural powers, and these two are the things that the True Lord and the Heavenly Lord compete with each other. Gu Wen also witnessed the power of supernatural powers through Chi Yuzi's Golden Light Curse, which is truly powerful and can penetrate the heavens and the earth.

He was actually able to forcibly pull up the scabbard of the immortal sword and resist the repulsion of the true sword technique and walk up fifty steps.

If the Dharma-phase allows a cultivator to have the ability to move mountains and fill the sea, then the supernatural power allows a cultivator to have the power to defy heaven.

Moreover, if Gu Wen wants to find the real immortal sword, he also needs to rely on the Emperor's juice.

Gu Wen's eyes sparkled as he looked at such a large pool of water. If Akabane hadn't been soaking next to him, he would have buried his head in the water to drink.

At this time, Akabane, who had been silent for a long time, spoke:

"Let me confirm once again. I will teach you the Golden Elixir Method, and you will lend me your scabbard?"

Gu Wen nodded and said sincerely, "That's right. If you are afraid of being involved in the fight for the immortality elixir, you can declare to the public that you have nothing to do with me."

"If you really want to be beaten to death, I will definitely help you. Don't play these empty words with me." Akabane rolled her eyes, clenched her fist and stretched out her hand, saying bluntly: "Please take care of me in the future."

"Please take care of me."

boom.

The two fists touched lightly and separated at the first touch.

You will get the Golden Elixir Method and a teammate with a 66-level foundation and unparalleled combat skills.
