Tao and Heaven

Chapter 85 Breakthrough of the Fourth Dao Foundation
Back in the room, Gu Wen sat cross-legged in meditation and counted Ao Tang's small treasury, a total of thirty-one high-quality elixirs of various types.

Originally, there were some inferior pills included, but Ao Tang basically looked down on inferior products, so he sold all the pills he made.

He grabbed a handful of pills and stuffed them directly into his mouth. The celestial marrow poured down like rain, and the medicinal properties swept through his meridians like a torrent. Fortunately, Gu Wen was no longer at the second level of his previous foundation, so he would not be unable to bear the pills containing dozens of years of celestial marrow.

But unlike taking elixirs directly, the medicinal power provided by these high-quality elixirs is actually slowly advancing the realm of Tao foundation.

'No wonder it has to be refined into a pill.'

Gu Wen just had a thought, and the powerful medicinal power rushed towards Suzaku, one of the five spiritual forms, like a flood. The Suzaku spirit began to move closer to the unfinished soul, and Huanglong, who had already returned to his position, was also pulling Suzaku.

One percent, two percent, three percent
At the same time, the celestial marrow needed for Zhuque to integrate into the primordial spirit is constantly decreasing.

'Others can speed up their cultivation by taking pills, so there's no reason why I can't. And if my Dao foundation realm advances, it will in turn have an effect on my Tiansui, reducing the amount of energy required for a certain spiritual aspect.'

When Gu Wen thought of this, he suddenly felt enlightened and wanted to bury his head in the bag.

Master, let me eat, eat, eat!

Soon all the high-quality pills were consumed, and the medicinal power in Gu Wen's body surged, and the advancement speed of the Vermillion Bird Spirit increased again, from less than 10% to 20%.

But it hurts!
The power of the medicine will open up the meridians. Although it is not dangerous, pain is inevitable.

"hiss!"

Gu Wen's skin began to turn red, and then he suddenly felt a coolness on his forehead. A familiar force soothed the restless effects of the medicine.

"You, how come you ate it all in one breath?"

Yu Hua's helpless voice reached her ears. She looked at Gu Wen, whose face was flushed and he was trying hard to refine the medicinal power, and her smile became softer.

Although he is only at the third level of Taoism, he still tries his best to help and is quite stubborn.

"I'll help you clear it up. Don't be too hasty when taking the pills next time."

Gu Wen was in a trance and couldn't answer. With Yu Hua's help, his speed in refining the medicinal power increased to a higher level.

Nothing happened that night. When Gu Wen opened his eyes again, it was already daybreak. Yu Hua was nowhere to be seen in the room, and the noise of the early morning market could be heard outside.

The Vermillion Bird spirit is eighty percent integrated into the primordial spirit, and it will take ten years for the Heavenly Marrow to be integrated into the soul.

Looking inwardly at the essence of one’s destiny, one finds it to be fuller than ever before.

[Seventy-two Years of Tiansui]

Gu Wen poured it into the fourth level of Taoism without hesitation!

The fifth level of Jade Purity Sword Art requires forty years of Heavenly Marrow, which greatly improves the Heart Sword, but the offensive means already have the Zhaolie Spear, so it does not improve Gu Wen's combat power much. At least there is no qualitative leap, it just makes him more diverse.

However, the fourth level of Dao foundation only needs fifty years of heavenly marrow, and the strength can rise to another level. The fourth level of Dao foundation is perfected at the third level, which is the seventh level of strength. If you meet a fake Zhenjun who has not even perfected the first level, you can definitely compete with him.

Gu Wen believed that geniuses were always a minority, and those who could practice the Perfect Method were even fewer.

The Heavenly Marrow is like fire. After consuming fifty years of Heavenly Marrow, the fourth level of the Dao Foundation was achieved in an instant.

With each breath, as if it was a natural process, Gu Wen's breath changed slightly, and there was a different look in his eyes.

The spirit and soul grow stronger, and the primordial spirit will be formed. The fourth level of the Tao foundation is the improvement of the spirit and soul, but due to the pressure of heaven, it can only be trapped in the physical body.

Therefore, Gu Wen was more concerned about the Hunyuan Zhenling Yuanshen, which was the fourth level of Yuqing Daoji. It was described that it was not afraid of Yang when it traveled during the day and was not afraid of Yin when it traveled at night, just like a living person.

Is it possible to leave the body in the immortal land? Even the golden shadow of the Daojun Emperor, which was similar to a clone, was it also a spirit leaving the body?
Gu Wen gathered his thoughts, closed his eyes to stabilize his state of mind, and used the remaining medicinal power to integrate the Vermillion Bird spirit into his soul without wasting any of his celestial marrow.

As your cultivation level increases, the speed of practicing the Perfection Method also increases, just like a snowball. Perhaps it is not that it becomes more difficult as you progress, but that the stronger you are, the more resources you will gain.

For example, now Gu Wen already has the capital to spy on the thousand-jin spiritual objects of the five major families in Luoshui. Assuming that the three True Lords are counterfeits, then this is Taoist's Luoshui.

He did not come out of meditation until noon the next day.

Looking inward again, he found that he had achieved perfection in the third level of the fourth level of the Dao foundation. The spirits of the Yellow Dragon and Vermillion Bird had merged into his soul, but the remaining three spirits had not returned.

Because of the fourth level of Taoism, the fourth level of perfection only requires one hundred years of heavenly marrow. At the same time, Gu Wen discovered that if he directly ascended to the fifth level of Taoism, he only needed one hundred years of heavenly marrow, but according to the records of the perfection method, it was the most difficult to complete the Taoism.

It’s just like laying the foundation. It’s easy to lay the first layer and then reinforce it, but it’s difficult to reinforce it after the second layer has been built.

【Twenty-seven Years of Tiansui】

Boom boom boom!
There was a knock on the door and the waiter's voice was heard.

"Sir, someone is looking for you downstairs. He has been waiting for you for a day and a night."
-
Gu Wen walked down the inn and saw a man and a woman.

The man had fair features, a standard white robe, and his hair was tied up high with a jade crown, a very common elegant jade gentleman style among cultivators. Gu Wen felt that he was not as good as Xiao Yunyi, at least he had some characteristics, as cold as a sword, and you could tell at a glance that he was a wooden man.

There are many who have become handsome through practicing body shaping, and even more who dress up to look like a gentle and elegant man.

Even a rough guy like Gu Wen who never takes care of himself has his appearance improving. Although he can't be described as handsome, at least his facial features are 70% regular.

The man stood up and bowed, saying, "I am He Qing, number nine on the Human Ranking."

"Gu Wen." Gu Wen responded with a bow, then turned to look at another person.

Women are not as good as Yu Hua.

Gu Wen simply passed the other person and just glanced at him. Maybe he looked good, but he was just a rosy skeleton.

The smile on Lu Chan's face froze.

"Brother Dao, long time no see."

"you are?"

"Lu Chan."

"Sister?"

Gu Wen responded to the other person's words and looked him up and down. He was about 1.5 meters tall, but for a moment he was unable to connect the other person's figure with the charming image in his memory.

No matter how you look at it, he looks like a little kid. Could it be that the old monster has improved his skills and regained his youth?

The sound seems to be fine.

He looked enlightened and said, "So it's Brother Lu. Has your cultivation level increased significantly recently and you've regained your youth?"

Lu Chan's veins popped up. She suppressed her anger and said with a fake smile, "I came here today to discuss something with you. I wonder if you have heard that the Luoshui River has a thousand-jin elixir?"

"I've heard a little bit." Gu Wen nodded.

"I wonder if you are interested, brother? Among the five major families in Luoshui, the Wang family is supported by my Qianfeng Sect. Now that they have grown wings, they are a little disobedient."

Lu Chan's voice was slightly cold, and there was a hint of murderous intent in her beautiful eyes.

He Qing said, "I am here for this matter as well. The Rong family is supported by our clan and they are also disobedient."

Gu Wen looked thoughtful and asked, "Don't you have any means of suppression in your big sect?"

Isn’t this a local rebellion against the imperial court?
"The sects are different, and the factions behind us are different from the supporters behind them. We could have gotten along peacefully. But this time, they don't plan to give out a single cent of the thousand kilograms of spiritual medicine. So we plan to join forces. I heard that Brother Dao and Xiao Yunyi are tied, so I came to invite you to share the thousand kilograms of spiritual medicine."

He Qing answered and stated the purpose.

Gu Wen immediately understood that no matter how many reasons and causes there were, they all came down to one word: profit.

"So you are planning to unite with an outsider like me. Will the sect behind you agree?"

“If the sect agrees, a True Lord will come down to solve it for us.” Lu Chan sneered, “It is precisely because they disagree that we do it ourselves.”

He Qing also said: "The sect promised to give me half, but I have helped the Rong family many times before and half is obviously not enough. If the sect doesn't give it to me, I will go and get it myself."

The style of the demonic monks is undisguised, casual and self-centered, and power is paramount.

"Fellow Daoist, if you help me, I will give you 30% of the elixir."

Lu Chan slammed the table and said in a cold voice: "Don't let the dog bite the man. Brother, help me wipe out the entire Wang family, and I will give you 80%. These old guys dared to use a bunch of chickens and dogs to suppress me, trying to interrupt my practice. If I kill the dog today, I will kill them tomorrow."

hiss.
Gu Wen was filled with awe and instantly began to like the two men more.

Is this the demon monk? I like it!
Gu Wen sat down and drank a sip of tea. In their puzzled eyes, he smiled and said calmly: "Why not kill all the five major families in Luoshui and wipe them out completely?"

He might not be able to do it alone, but if he joins forces with two geniuses of the magic path and calls on He Huan and Murong, he might be able to succeed.

upstairs.

Sensing what was happening below, Ao Tang curled his lips, raised his head and asked Yu Hua: "Is this really okay?"

Yu Hua asked in confusion, "The chance to become an immortal is a matter of chance, and the one with the most power will get it. What's the problem with that?"

Ao Tang said speechlessly: "No, this kid's behavior is even more devilish than the devil."
