From a Zhengyi Taoist Child to a Master of All Laws

Chapter 132 Zhengyi Foundation [Please subscribe! ]

By the fourth day, the two had surplus materials of ice and fire attributes, but the metal of spiritual attributes needed for Zhao Ziyao's translucent sword pill was a little hard to find, so they didn't exchange much.

On the seventh day, a kind of true fire was also obtained. Xie Yu sent information that there seemed to be traces of true fire in a certain volcano crater. Li Yang flew to the volcano on his sword. He patrolled the crater for a day and a night with the Sun Essence Wheel and the Golden Light Mantra. Finally, he obtained a light blue true fire and collected it with the Sun Essence Wheel.

When he returned to Qingcheng Mountain on his sword, Chi Yanhong was already waiting for him. Li Yang pressed the sword light and heard Chi Yanhong's slightly delighted voice:
"The matter of the alchemy furnace has been settled!"

When we arrived at the yard, we saw a Taoist priest who seemed to have been waiting for a long time.

Seeing Li Yang coming, the old Taoist hurriedly stood up to greet him.
"Master Li, I sent a message back to Mount Longhu. After the disciples on the mountain searched hard, we finally found a complete furnace. Do you think it meets the requirements?"

This person is Zhang Miaofa from the Zhengyi School of Mount Longhu.

Li Yang's face lit up with joy as he took the photo handed to him by Zhang Miaofa.

The photo shows an ancient stove that has just been unearthed. The stove has three legs and is engraved with the Eight Trigrams and cloud patterns. It looks very simple and solid.

Li Yang immediately confirmed that this should be the real thing!
The Longhu Mountain family is large and powerful, and is the leader of the Zhengyi Sect. Only such a prominent lineage would have the alchemy furnace left behind.

Zhang Miaofa observed Li Yang's expression and immediately realized that he had dug up the real thing, and his face lit up with joy.

Since the revival of spiritual energy, the status of Longhushan Zhengyi Temple has been very embarrassing.
During the reign of Emperor He of the Han Dynasty, Zhang Daoling and his disciple Wang Chang traveled through the Huai River to Poyang, then followed the Xin River to come here, built a thatched cottage, and initially founded Taoism, becoming the ancestor of Taoism in China. The fourth generation Heavenly Master Zhang Sheng returned from Shu to the Zhengyi Yuantan of Longhu Mountain, and in accordance with his father's order to "permanently spread the ancestral teachings and pass them on to the world", he established a temple to worship his ancestors.

Longhu Mountain has been the leader of Taoism since Zhang Daoling, the founder of the Taoist Temple, for 65 generations. Although the government no longer issues individual ordination certificates to the Taoist Temple after the founding of the People's Republic of China, it has always given the descendants of the Taoist Temple a high political status.

However, since the revival of spiritual energy, first Qi Qiansu from the Quanzhen Qingcheng Mountain was the first to break through to the innate level, then Wu Peng from the Tianpeng School, and now Chen Xiyan and Zheng Zhaoyuan have emerged.

However, Longhu Mountain, which has always been the big brother in history, still has only a few big cats and small cats. Apart from Zhang Miaofa, there are only two masters of Qi Ling. It can be said that it is in serious decline.

Zhang Miaofa's own cultivation level is not high. As a Zhang, he was destined to be the successor of Longhu Mountain since birth, and his status is high.

With a high status and various professional titles, it is inevitable that he will start to be interested in other things, so his cultivation level is only average among the spiritual awakening people in Qingcheng Mountain at this stage.

Originally, he did not think there was anything wrong with it, but until the Dao League was established and the president of the Dao League fell into the hands of Qi Qiansu, he himself in Longhu Mountain did not even get a vice president position and only had the title of chairman of the board.

Zhang Miaofa knew that something bad had happened.

Only then did he change his mind. After the revival of spiritual energy, Taoism no longer judged by seniority, veins, or bloodlines, but instead respected naked strength!

What political status? Now in the Dao League, only strength can bring political status!

After realizing this, Zhang Miaofa immediately contacted the other two Qi Lings of Mount Longhu and practiced hard in seclusion every day. He didn't want his position as the leader of the Taoist sect of Mount Longhu to fall in his hands.

But the three of them had been attending meetings and drinking tea everywhere before, and their resilience in hard practice was naturally not as strong as Zheng Zhaoyuan and others, so they had never seen any innate opportunity.

It was not until he saw Li Yang performing miracles in Laojun Pavilion that Zhang Miaofa realized that it was an extremely precious opportunity in his life to gain insight into the innate!
"I also looked through the internal books and found that the 28th generation Heavenly Master Zhang Dun left behind an alchemy furnace when he rebuilt the 'Yanfa Temple'. I sent people back to look for it, but I didn't expect to actually find anything."

Li Yang nodded: "According to the photos, it does meet my requirements. I wonder when the furnace can be delivered to Qingcheng Mountain?"

"We'll be there this evening."

"That's great. As for the price, I wonder if your sect is renting or exchanging directly?" Zhang Miaofa hesitated for a moment and said, "I wonder what the rent price is from Master Li?"

"I rented it for about two months, and the rent was five red fruits, plus 5 jars of Baiyun Li and 10 kilograms of Yueling rice."

The alchemy furnace is precious. Only one such furnace has been dug out in the entire Taoist Alliance. The price is understandable.

"What if it's an exchange?"

"You can refer to the practice of Mr. Zheng in Yuqing Temple." Li Yang said lightly.

Zhang Miaofa's face froze. According to Li Yang's meaning, he would promise to help protect the path and break through to a congenital level.

Zhang Miaofa had also heard about this a long time ago. The reason why Li Yang helped Zheng Zhaoyuan so much was that the three treasures of Yuqing Temple were all on Baiyun Mountain, and Li Yang wanted to use this opportunity to repay his karma.

Now that we have moved to Longhu Mountain, the same is naturally true.

However, faced with Li Yang's price, Zhang Miaofa suddenly hesitated.

"Master Li, can you give me some time? I need to go back and discuss this with my fellow disciples at Mount Longhu."

"Naturally."

Li Yang looked at Zhang Miaofa's receding back and suddenly thought of those old politicians in the officialdom who were shrewd and cunning.

To be honest, Li Yang doesn't like this style very much.

Chi Yanhong sat aside, listening quietly to their conversation, and sighed as he watched Zhang Miaofa leave.

"This descendant of the Heavenly Master will probably not go far on the path of seeking the truth."

"Oh? Why?" Li Yang became interested when he heard Chi Yanhong's comment.

"His desire to seek the truth is far inferior to Zheng Zhaoyuan's, and his actions and conversations are more like those of a politician or businessman. Without the perseverance and decisiveness of a seeker of truth, it would be difficult for him to gain enlightenment on his own."

"Who knows? As the old era changes, there will always be some people from the old era who can't catch up with the new era."

Li Yang did not comment either, nor did he say that he would not be able to break through to the innate realm if he left Longhu Mountain. With the foundation of this Dharma lineage, he was able to dig out an alchemy furnace. Who knows what the heavenly masters of all dynasties have buried for their descendants.

In the evening, the furnace arrived. Li Yang examined it for a long time and made sure it could meet his sword-making requirements.

Zhang Miaofa finally chose to rent instead of directly exchange.
He and his two fellow disciples weighed the pros and cons for a long time and felt that the alchemy furnace was too precious. There might only be one in the entire Taoist Alliance. If they did not exchange it, keeping it would bring them benefits in the future.

In addition, the three of them were much younger than Zheng Zhaoyuan and had good physiques. They were confident that they could break through to their innate realm on their own with the red fruit and Baiyun Liyue Lingmi, so they refused the direct exchange.

Li Yang respected their choice and went back to Baiyun Mountain to bring back the materials and red fruit and white cloud liquor. After the delivery, he began to prepare for the refining of the sword pills.
