From a Zhengyi Taoist Child to a Master of All Laws

Chapter 18: The Vision Appears [Please Collect and Comment]

Li Yang has always had a question in mind, why Zi Ping's fortune-telling, the Golden Light Curse, and the Jade Toad's Qi-eating method would appear on his body.

At first, he attributed all of this to the system, but as he interacted with Chi Yanhong, he realized that these things were just superficial, and the root of everything was just four words:
Spiritual energy revived!

All of Li Yang's Taoist methods rely on spiritual energy. Without spiritual energy, the Golden Light Mantra and the Jade Toad Qi Eating Method are just a piece of text and a formula.

What is spiritual energy? The "Yunji Qiqian" says: "Often immortals and hermits rest on it, and a strange atmosphere and spiritual energy cover the top of the mountain."

In the Jin Dynasty, Guo Pu's "Shan Hai Jing Tu Zan Shen Lu Wu" noted: "Men Ming is right, the gate of Si Di, breathing in spiritual energy, Xiong Hun Hun."

Aura is an ethereal energy that cannot be observed but can be sensed.

Hearing Li Yang say that he had just met Xing Jianjun, Chi Yanhong nodded slightly:

"Official people? You are right. At this stage, we can only make excuses. They have noticed the changes in the world. The Taoist Association has begun to have official intervention, but in the end, no one has truly mastered those alchemy methods and magical powers, so the official authorities are not paying enough attention."

"You can take the initiative and get the root method first. This is the advantage."

Li Yang nodded. The emergence of any new thing has a huge impact on the world. In the past century of modern human history, the use and control of energy is not only directly related to the outcome of a war, but also affects the fate of a country.

As spiritual energy revives and Taoism emerges, people with ultimate personal power will appear one after another, and the original order of the country and the world will be challenged.

There will definitely be chaos, there will be a class reshuffle, and there will be social changes of the times. Li Yang is not sure where these changes will begin. What he has to do is to seize the initiative and make himself as strong as possible when the fact of the revival of spiritual energy is completely exposed to the society.

Now that they had talked about it, the two no longer concealed anything. In addition to the existence of the system, the two exchanged information with each other, and Li Yang had a preliminary understanding of the ins and outs of the revival of spiritual energy.

Afterwards, the two discussed for a long time and decided on the first three levels of cultivation.

Draw in the Qi, awaken the spirit, and be innate.

Chi Yanhong said that according to the lineage she had traveled around, at this stage only a handful of old practitioners in seclusion had reached the realm of drawing in qi, and only an old Taoist priest who rang a bell in Qingcheng Mountain was suspected to have the ability to awaken the spirit.

Drawing in Qi is the first stage of spiritual practice. This Qi is not the spiritual Qi, but the essential Qi. By feeling the essence of the body and moving it to open up the orifices, you can prevent diseases and keep your body light and healthy.

Qi Ling, the second stage of cultivation, the meridians and acupoints all over the body are opened up, the blood and qi are full, and one can release qi outwards, a bit like the martial arts masters in novels.

Innate, the third realm of cultivation, is also Li Yang’s current realm. He can feel the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, circulate the Qi in the body to refine his mind, and only at this stage can he truly acquire the means to cultivate immortality.

The two did not dare to infer the remaining realms. After all, there were no examples, the spiritual energy had been extinguished for too long, and most of the information they found was far-fetched by later generations and could only be used as a reference.

However, Li Yang was a little special. When he awakened the Golden Light Mantra, he had already felt the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. He was directly half a step into the innate realm and had not experienced the process of drawing in energy and awakening the spirit at all.

Looking at the arguments I had written, I felt a sense of satisfaction. It is impossible to trace the ancestors, and this discussion between the two of us laid a foundation for future practice and paved the way for our future practice.

At this moment, Li Yang suddenly thought of something and looked up at Chi Yanhong.
"But how did you know about the revival of spiritual energy?"

"You were able to obtain the root method because of my own fate. Now is not the time to explain it to you." Chi Yanhong glanced at Li Yang and said, "You are lucky. The Jade Toad Qi-eating Method, a supreme root method, can be passed down to you."

Chi Yanhong didn't know about the existence of the system. He only thought that Li Yang inherited the legacy from the old abbot and used the red fruit to break through when he fell off the cliff, thus reaching the innate realm.

Li Yang didn't answer. He sat down next to Chi Yanhong and tucked the quilt for her.

After a long discussion, Chi Yanhong, who had just woken up, felt a little tired.

After a while, seeing that Li Yang still had a smug look on his face and had no intention of leaving, Chi Yanhong reluctantly reminded him, "Daoyou, I need to rest."

Li Yang nodded, moved a chair and sat next to Chi Yanhong, with no intention of moving away.

"Then why are you still here?"

"You are wrong, my friend. You just woke up and you are still a little weak. Let me use the Great Golden Light Mantra to warm you up." "Thank you, no need. I can rest by myself. You should go out and continue to read your palm for your nurse sister."

Li Yang looked embarrassed. He thought he had gotten away with it.

Seeing that Chi Yanhong was about to pick up the sword and chop someone again, Li Yang returned to his ward.

Seeing that the lazy Li Yang finally left, Chi Yanhong smiled relievedly. She stretched out her hand and raised the jade pendant left by Li Yang.

The jade pendant is crystal clear and shiny, with a faint golden hue.

Jin Guanghui, she naturally knew this thing.

Moreover, Jin Guanghui could only stabilize her vitality. The reason why she recovered so quickly was probably because someone had been using spiritual energy to comb her body meridians.

"Thanks."

Another week passed before Chi Yanhong was discharged from the hospital.

Sitting cross-legged on the hospital bed, Li Yang opened his eyes and slowly spit out a white mist.

[Yuchan Qi-eating Method +1]

Li Yang's expression changed, and several system data came into view.

-

[Divination: Level 1 (89/1000), unlocked: Zi Ping fortune telling]

[Taoist Health Preservation Technique: Level 1 (196/1000), Unlocked: Golden Light Curse]

[Jade Toad Qi-Eating Method: Level 1 (85/1000), Unlocked Status: Control Objects]

-

After eating three red fruits, the remaining red fruits would not help him much. With Chi Yanhong's physical condition, he certainly could not digest the overbearing spiritual energy of the red fruits, so Li Yang put the three red fruits away.

The practice of Yuchan's Qi-eating method mainly focuses on gathering Qi and circulating it throughout the body.

The spiritual energy starts from the lower Dantian, goes up along the Governor Vessel, goes down along the Ren Vessel, passes through the three gates of the coccyx, the Jiaji, and the Yuzhen, passes through the Mingmen Dazhui, passes through the Chonglou Queqiao, and then falls back to the lower Dantian for one cycle. One cycle takes about two hours.

According to Chi Yanhong, Yuchan's Qi eating is the Yin extreme root method, and practicing it at night under the bright moon will have miraculous effects. However, since they are in the hospital, Li Yang should not be too ostentatious.

That’s right, this guy had a smug face and insisted that he had not recovered yet. He also stayed in the ward for another week and even upgraded himself to a VIP ward.

Of course, this is because a certain nun is paying for all the medical expenses...

On the way back to Baiyun Mountain, as soon as they reached the foot of the mountain, they saw that the foot of Baiyun Mountain, which had been deserted before, was now crowded with tourists for the first time in history.

He found the store and discovered that Aunt Li had several blisters on the corners of her mouth. She ran in and out, and water could be squeezed out of her clothes in the hot weather.

When Li Yang asked about this, Aunt Li cursed: "Li Yang, you don't know, it rained half a month ago, and there was a hole in the clouds on the mountain. Those reporters took some random photos and published them in the county newspaper, and all of a sudden, so many bastards showed up."

"Today is still a small amount, but there were more in the past few days. I have worked in the convenience store for more than ten years, and I have always been free to come and go as I please. In the past half month, I almost didn't have enough goods to move!"

Hearing Aunt Li cursing, Li Yang burst out laughing. In Shiyang Village, there is only Aunt Li's small shop and pub. If she is not busy, who will be busy?
However, when Li Yang and Chi Yanhong saw the photos taken by Aunt Li's mobile phone, they looked at each other.

Sure enough, the world is changing.
