From a Zhengyi Taoist Child to a Master of All Laws

Chapter 280 Chi Yanhong comes out of confinement (asking for monthly ticket~~)

The third day of the eighth lunar month, which is the ninth month of the new calendar, is about half a year away.

The authorities were very cautious in handling the revival of spiritual energy and public opinion. Even though Li Yang felt that everything was ready and all the early hints and preparations in society had been done, he still chose to play it safe and give the cultivation community another half year to adjust.

There is no way. China’s population base is too large, and any inadequate handling of details will cause huge public opinion backlash.

Especially for something like the revival of spiritual energy which has had a serious impact on modern physical science, how to maintain stability at the national and social levels in the future, and how to make a smooth transition from a physical society to a society of cultivating immortals, there is no historical reference at all and we can only slowly explore it ourselves.

The revival of spiritual energy has been completely exposed to the public, and the impact on Baiyun Mountain will be enormous.

Li Yang could foresee that after the Luotian Dajiao, the government would quickly start recruiting students for Taoist temples in various provinces for the sake of social stability. Baiyun Taoist Temple was included in this list. It was the so-called national Taoist practice, so that everyone would have the opportunity to practice Taoism and seek immortality.

When the Taoist Alliance and Baiyun Mountain were exposed to the public, a craze for cultivating immortals swept the people. This was a rare development opportunity for Baiyun Mountain and the Taoist Alliance.

As for Baiyun Temple's enrollment, Xiao Zhuling did not feel any sense of crisis. She was a formal disciple. Even if Baiyun Taoist Academy recruited students in the future, those would only be ordinary disciples and would not be able to enter the back mountain.

Looking at Zhu Ling's flushed face, Li Yang asked with a smile: "How is your recent progress in cultivation? How many acupoints in your body have been opened?"

"62 acupoints have been opened, about 1/2. It should be completed by the end of next year." Zhu Ling nodded and looked serious.

This speed is not slow. It only took Zhu Ling one year to break through the spiritual awakening stage. In one year, he can open 62 major orifices. This speed is also among the best in the Taoist Alliance.

Li Yang quickly understood the meaning of his disciple's words: "Oh, you want to open 108 major acupoints in one breath and challenge the first-class innate level of our sect?"

Zhu Ling nodded, her face full of determination: "Since I am a disciple of Baiyun Mountain, I naturally cannot be inferior to others, and I cannot embarrass you, Master, when I go out."

The so-called first-class innate and second-class innate are determined by Baiyun Mountain itself.

Li Yang and Chi Yanhong classified the Qi-eating Root Method as the first-class innate method; the Sword Immortal Method and the Inner Alchemy Method as the second-class innate method; and the other side doors and miscellaneous streams as the third-class innate method.

The acupoints in the body are divided into 72 main acupoints and 36 hidden acupoints. To impact the innate does not necessarily require opening up all 108 major acupoints in the body. For the inner alchemy and sword immortal methods, as long as the 72 main acupoints in the body are opened up, one can start to retreat and comprehend the so-called inspiration and build the foundation in a hundred days.

"Your ambition is quite big..."

Li Yang hesitated to speak, unable to bear the blow.

If one wants to advance to the innate realm through the Qi-eating root method, one must either do as he and Chi Yanhong did, and directly fly into the sky in one step, skipping the hard work of drawing in Qi, opening the meridians, and awakening the spirit to open the orifices, and directly enter the innate realm.

The second one was deduced by Li Yang and Chi Yanhong. It was to open up all the meridians and acupoints in the body, to achieve the ultimate of spiritual mortals, and then to endure and break through the death barrier.

To put it simply, the method of eating Qi roots consumes talent. It consumes a lot of talent. For ordinary people, it is like an insurmountable chasm and is extremely unfriendly.

That is why the ancient Qi-eating lineage at the foot of Mount Emei took great pains to create the Jade Leaf Golden Tablet, leaving behind the method of fetal breathing induction;
That's why Chi Yanhong wanted to make the Seven Auxiliary Brew, hoping to improve the talent of his disciple Wang Xin;
Therefore, even though Ke He drank the Seven Auxiliary Brews and her talent in inner alchemy was already top-notch, Li Yang had no intention of teaching her the Qi-eating method.

Seeing the complicated look in the master's eyes, Zhu Ling quickly understood what Li Yang was worried about, and smiled and comforted him: "Master, I am grateful to you for leading me to the path of cultivation. I can walk the rest of the way on my own."

"And I have my senior brother Wang Xin traveling with me. He has now opened up all 72 main acupoints and is refining the hidden acupoints. My talents and resources are no worse than his. I can't fall behind him, right?" Li Yang felt relieved as he looked at Zhu Ling, who had gradually matured.

Disciples have to walk their own paths, and all I can do as a master is to provide a safety net and answer their questions.

"That's good. You two should give it a try. Even if it doesn't work, it will be of great benefit to your body's meridians and acupoints. This will make it easier for you to practice Sword Immortal Method and Inner Alchemy Method later."

"Even if the sky falls, your master will always hold it up."

Zhu Ling smiled and said, "Yes, Master!"

Li Yang nodded in satisfaction, and walked towards the Jade Toad Hall with his hands behind his back, stepping on the melting thin ice.

When either Zhu Ling or Wang Xin breaks through to the innate realm, his Baiyun Mountain lineage will truly have the presence of a sect, with many talented people within the sect, and no longer be plagued by a lack of successors.

March 12, the sixth day of the second lunar month, is the Waking of Insects.

All the ice and snow on the Baiyun Mountain melted, and the weather was the coldest when the ice and snow melted. Li Yang didn't feel anything, but Zhu Ling and Wang Xin still added a few thick clothes.

During this period, basically nothing major happened internationally. The cultivation communities in most countries were relatively restrained, and even if frictions occurred, they were only minor.

It can only be said that there are no eternal enemies, only eternal friends. The Sakura Country and the Sam Country, which had fought to the death and cursed at each other at the Vatican Conference, have now put aside their past grudges and have become more frequent and friendly in their economic and cultural exchanges.

The Sam Country no longer strongly condemned Shimaki Ling and demanded the recovery of Lederman's body. China now even has a second S-level master. The strong sense of oppression forced the Sam Country to choose to make peace and form an alliance with the Sakura Country.

However, Li Yang was also happy to see this. Putting a little pressure on China was always a good thing for the future development of China's cultivation community.

On March 15th, a not-so-small event occurred internationally. Suzuki Mina, an A-level master from the Sakura Country, fled to Great Britain and sought refuge from the Magic League.

This matter was very secretive. When Li Yang found out about it, the matter had already been settled. It was said that Shimoki Ling hovered over the headquarters of the Magic League for an afternoon and finally left in anger.

Li Yang felt that the root of this matter was also on himself. Suzuki Mina jumped up and stabbed Shimaki Ling and reported the news to China, but he ended up releasing the real culprit Shimaki Ling. Now Suzuki Mina's identity in Sakura Country became awkward, and she didn't trust China anymore, so she made up her mind and ran to the Magic League.

However, Li Yang did not expect that the Magic Alliance could actually make Shimaki Ling feel fearful. This cultivation alliance composed of the cultivation circles of dozens of countries in Europe did have something special.

The Magic League withstood the pressure from the S-class masters and successfully sheltered Suzuki Mina, which allowed the Magic League to successfully stand out in the international arena and could be considered a successful political adventure.

During this period, a certain red-haired elder from Britain submitted letters to the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs many times. However, the letters were sent to Baiyun Mountain but never reached the bottom of the sea…

March 20th, the 21st day of the second lunar month, the Spring Equinox.

Chi Yanhong, who had been sitting cross-legged for 49 consecutive days, stood up from under the lotus and announced his exit.
