The Proof of the Heavens Begins with The Legend of the Condor Heroes

Chapter 370: Gradual Dharma and Three Vehicles
Because the company has to deal with a variety of situations, it has no shortage of professional lock-picking talents.

What's more, the lock on the box was not a rare thing. After the professionals tested it, the metal box was opened soon.

Inside the box, there was a tree root-like object quietly placed there. It was dark gold in color and had a halo of light flowing around it from time to time, just like... a living thing!
"Could this be..." Dou Le said thoughtfully.

"As you can see, this is the root of the sacred tree." Elijah said, "Can I take the things back now?"

"Of course." Dou Le said.

Although Jizhen on the side appeared calm on the surface, there were raging waves in his heart. The "golden elixir" in his body became restless instinctively, constantly reminding him of one thing: this thing is destined to be with me!

What does "fate" mean?
This means that the sacred tree on Nasen Island is most likely the object of his enlightenment!
As mentioned before, Jizhen always felt that the "golden elixir" he cultivated was not the real golden elixir, and there was a basis for that.

According to the records in the "Three Vehicles of Gradual Method" of the Southern School of Alchemy, the process of inner alchemy practice must be gradual and is divided into three stages.

"For the inferior, the body and mind are the cauldron, the essence is the medicine, the heart and kidney are water and fire, the five internal organs are the five elements, the liver and lungs are the dragon and tiger, the essence is the true seed, the year, month, day and hour are used to adjust the temperature, swallowing saliva is used to irrigate the body, the mouth, ears and eyes are the three important things, the front of the kidney and the back of the navel are the gate, and the five elements are mixed to form the elixir."

This is the state Jizhen believes he is in now. The lower level of alchemy can prove immortality. It can only prolong life and form a body without leakage, but life span will eventually end.

But for the Qi practitioners in the world of Under One Person, being able to cultivate the Great Pill of Human Yuan and attain the status of Human Immortal is already a very remarkable achievement.

Looking at the entire Taoist community today, I'm afraid no one can do it except Zhang Zhiwei, the Heavenly Master of Longhu Mountain.

That is why his master, Taoist Master Chaoyang, repeatedly emphasized to him that what he had cultivated was the real "Golden Elixir".

However, according to the records in "The Three Vehicles of Gradual Method", above the lower-level alchemy method, there are also the middle-level alchemy method and the higher-level alchemy method.

"For the middle level, Qiankun is the cauldron, Kanli is water and fire, Wutu is medicine, spirit, soul and mind are the five elements, body and mind are dragon and tiger, Qi is the true seed, the cold and heat of the year are the fire, irrigation with Dharma water is bathing, not leaving the inner realm and not entering the outer realm is solidification, Taiyuan, Jianggong and Jingfang are the three essentials, Niwan is the mysterious gate, and the mixing of spirit and mind is the elixir. This is the method of nourishing life in the middle level."

When the alchemy method is practiced to the intermediate level, it can form the Earth Yuan Lingdan, and can prove the status of Earth Immortal. At this stage, the Qigong practitioner can already achieve fasting and fetal breathing, and live a long and healthy life.

Previously, Jizhen had always believed that in a world under one person, it was impossible to achieve the status of a Taoist earthly immortal because the world level was not high enough, let alone the status of a celestial immortal above the earthly immortal. It was simply a foolish dream to want to achieve it.

If you don’t believe it, take a look at what the “Three Vehicles of Gradual Dharma” says.

“The superior ones take the heaven and earth as the cauldron, the sun and the moon as water and fire, yin and yang as the mechanism, lead, mercury, silver, sand and earth as the five elements, temperament as the dragon and the tiger, thoughts as the true seed, refine thoughts with the heart as the fire, calm thoughts as the fire, contain light as the solidification, subdue the inner demon as the field battle, body, mind and intention as the three essentials, the heart of heaven as the mysterious gate, return of emotions to nature as the elixir, and the fumigation of harmonious energy as the bath. If one is consistent from beginning to end, one can achieve immortality.”

Listen! What is "the heaven and earth are the cauldron, the sun and the moon are water and fire"? With the spiritual energy level of the world under one person, it is impossible to do it!
Therefore, Jizhen has always regarded this journey through the world of Under One Person as a leisure vacation.

The appearance of this section of the sacred tree root reminded Jizhen that there seemed to be some unimaginable magical objects in this world that could help him go further!
"Nasen Island, the sacred tree? I've made a note of it." Jizhen withdrew his inquiring gaze.

Soon, under the joint witness of the heads of the company's East China and Southeast regions and Nathan Wei Elijah, the holy relics were put back into a metal box and brought back to Nathan Island.

Sakurai and others who committed major crimes in China will be subject to sanctions from the company and the law.

The matter came to an end, Ji Zhen also said goodbye to Dou Le and left. He had been there from morning till dark, so it was time for him to return to Zixiao Temple early.

Before leaving, Dou Le personally sent him to the door and extended an invitation, hoping that professional talents like Jizhen could join the company and contribute to the construction of China.

Dou Le didn't take Jizhen's offer lightly, saying that he needed to discuss the matter with his master. He didn't expect Jizhen to agree so quickly. He just wanted to establish a good relationship with Jizhen first.

After all, more friends mean more paths. In peacetime, the interactions between different people are not just about fighting and killing, but more about human relationships and worldly wisdom.

Watching Jizhen get on the company's special car and leave, Dou Le said to Xiao Zizai beside him: "Old Xiao, what do you think of this kid?" "Very strong, he seems to have an aura that can calm people down."

Xiao Zizai said in a deep voice: "When I shook hands with him before, I even felt that my murderous intent had subsided a lot."

"Is this true?" Dou Le asked with interest.

As the person in charge of the company's East China region, Dou Le believed that he knew Xiao Zizai very well.

Xiao Zizai's ability to become a temporary worker in the company is unquestionable. He is proficient in Shaolin skills and is very efficient in killing people.

He has a bloodthirsty nature, which is almost innate.

Back then, his master, Master Jie Kong, one of the "Ten Masters", unfortunately had all his meridians destroyed in his attempt to suppress Xiao Zizai's bloodthirsty inner demon.

Not many people know about this, but Xiao Zizai's strength can be seen from it.

……

After leaving the company's East China branch, Jizhen returned to Zixiao Temple under the escort of a special car.

It was already late at night, and Jizhen was about to go back to rest, but was noticed by the Taoist master Chaoyang, who said, "You little bastard, you still remember to come back? Get out of here!"

Jizhen had no choice but to go and pay his respects to his master first.

Under the dim light, Taoist Chaoyang looked at Jizhen and said seriously, "Do you know what you did wrong today?"

"I was a little too greedy and aggressive." Jizhen scratched his head.

"So you know that you are being reckless. What? Do you think you are invincible just because you have cultivated the 'Golden Elixir'? Let me tell you, cultivating both sex and life is a lifelong endeavor. If you are so arrogant, sooner or later you will capsize in the ditch!" Taoist Chaoyang said a lot.

Jizhen listened attentively, but in fact his mind was wandering.

Finally, Taoist Chao Yang said, "I see that you have been too idle recently. Don't you want to practice thunder magic? I have already arranged a way for you."

Hearing this, Ji Zhen was shocked and asked, "Are you in touch with Longhu Mountain?"

The Southern School of Alchemy inherited by Zixiao Temple certainly has its unique features, but when it comes to fighting, it only has two methods, "Escape Light" and "Lingxu Finger", which is indeed a bit weak.

Thunder method is different. Among the many Taoist methods, when it comes to killing and wounding, thunder method deserves to be ranked first!

Taoist Chao Yang rolled his eyes and said, "I, your master, don't have the face to make the old Heavenly Master agree to teach you the Thunder Method. The way I found for you is the Shenxiao Sect."

"The Shenxiao sect among the three talisman sects?" Jizhen asked.

Taoist Chaoyang nodded and said, "Our lineage has Zhang Boduan from Ziyang Mountain as its first ancestor, but the one who really promoted the Southern School of Alchemy was the fifth ancestor, Bai Yuchan, the Immortal Purple Purity. In his time, the Immortal Purple Purity also practiced the Divine Thunder Method. So, we have some relationship with the Divine Thunder Sect."

"So?" Jizhen's eyes lit up.

"So, after the new year, you can roll down the mountain and go to the Shenxiao Sect to learn thunder magic!" said Taoist Chaoyang.
