From a Zhengyi Taoist Child to a Master of All Laws

Chapter 69 Fifth Level Ordination
Baiyun Temple is a small Taoist temple, and Baiyun Mountain is only middle-class among the many famous Taoist mountains. Although it belongs to Zhengyi, this small lineage generally has little connection with the Zhengyi ancestral temple.

In the Zhengyi sect, the rank of Taoist priests is strictly divided into five levels according to the level of ordination.

The first time the ordination was granted: the "Tai Shang San Wu Du Gong Jing Lu", abbreviated as "Du Gong Lu", was granted as a sixth or seventh grade title.

The second granting of the certificate: He was promoted to be awarded the "Tai Shang Zheng Yi Meng Wei Jing Lu", abbreviated as "Meng Wei Lu", which is a fourth or fifth grade title.

The third time of granting the certificate: the "Shangqing Three Caves and Five Thunders Sutra Certificate", abbreviated as "Five Thunders Certificate", is a third-grade title.

There is no need to think about the fourth and fifth times, as they will generally only be awarded to the top-level Heavenly Masters of Longhu Mountain (Zhengyi Sect), Maoshan (Shangqing Sect), and Gezhao Mountain (Lingbao Sect).

The various sutras and oracles that are bestowed may sound mysterious, but they are actually like graduation certificates for primary school, middle school, and university, and are symbols. The process of oracles is the same as an exam, with exams for primary school, middle school, and high school, and then for university and graduate students, and there are invigilators (oracles supervisors) and interviewers (oracles transmitters).

Previously, when Li Yang was communicating with Zheng Zhaoyuan about the lineage of his sect, the reason why he called himself a disciple of Baiyun Mountain was because he did not have enough qualifications in the Zhengyi Dao and was only a Taoist priest. Therefore, in terms of status, he could not take over as the abbot of Baiyun Temple. Only after he properly participated in and passed the ordination examination of the Longhu Mountain Zhengyi Dao could he be registered with the Taoist Association and take over as the abbot of Baiyun Temple.

But no matter how weak it is, Baiyun Temple is still one of the branches of Zhengyi. It is reasonable and proper for it to be invited to major Taoist ceremonies such as Luotian Dajiao.

Li Yang thought about it and understood the official calculations.

"The ordination is all empty talk. With my current strength and my equal status with the official, I will not be content to follow Zhengyi and be governed by the official. On the contrary, if Zhengyi comes to get close to me and make Baiyun Mountain bigger, the official's position will be very awkward..."

"If I'm not mistaken, the next step for the authorities is to separate Baiyun Mountain from Zhengyi and quickly collect the Taoist scriptures and inheritances of the world's Dharma veins to train masters under their control."

After knowing the official calculations, Li Yang was not annoyed. He had no intention of having too much involvement with Zhengyi. Perhaps after his reincarnation, he still had some thoughts about power and money, but once he arrived at the Xiantian realm, Li Yang understood that those were just passing clouds.

"I now have the exclusive control of Baiyun Mountain. As long as I remain the first person to overcome the gap in cultivation when the spiritual energy is revived, the official will always have an equal cooperation relationship with me."

After figuring out the situation, Li Yang replied to Zheng Zhaoyuan calmly, "Don't worry, just treat it as a normal ritual. It won't do any harm to the old Taoist priest."

Li Yang did not explain, put down his phone and continued to meditate.

As for whether or not to go to Qingcheng Mountain to witness this so-called Luotian Grand Ceremony? Of course I would not go.

In terms of cultivation methods, I have two articles on the method of eating qi roots; in terms of Taoist magic, I have the Golden Light Sword Mantra; in terms of resources, I basically have all the resources currently discovered for cultivation in my hands, so why bother getting involved in the official mess?

Time passed quickly, and Chi Yanhong had been in seclusion for a week. Li Yang felt the fluctuations of the aura in the wooden house while meditating every day, and made sure there was no problem without disturbing him.

With Chi Yanhong's food Qi cultivation, he doesn't need to eat even if he sits in the Xuanguan.

In the past seven days, after Yang Feng delivered 3kg of raw jade, he went up the mountain less frequently.

Li Yang speculated that either the official progress in developing the famous mountain was hindered, or the official had its own set of identification methods.

No matter which one it is, the way of making a profit by being a middleman is no longer so popular, and the plan to develop the Taoist resources of Baiyun Mountain is imminent.

A week later, the spiritual rice that Gao Miao had carefully cared for also reached the heading stage.

Normally, it takes at least three months for rice to reach the heading stage, but with the nourishment of spiritual energy, this process is rapidly compressed.

When Li Yang went down to the fields to check, he saw that each rice ear was more than half a meter tall and was growing very well.

Li Yang checked the twelve kinds of rice ears one by one and found that the rice grains that were growing were still ordinary rice ears, without any supernatural phenomena. Disappointed, Li Yang and Gao Miao pulled up all eleven kinds of rice ears, leaving only the last one.

This kind of rice grows slowly. Other types of rice have already formed ears, but this one has just reached a height of 30 centimeters. Although the growth rate is slow, Li Yang is very happy.

Don't be afraid of it being strange, just be afraid of it not being strange.

Break off a rice seedling and pinch it with your hands. Unlike other rice ears, this rice seedling looks green and tender, but it is very tough. Smear the juice from the broken end of the rice seedling on your hands. It tastes very fresh and natural.

What excited Li Yang the most was that he felt strands of active spiritual energy in the juice of the rice seedlings.

After several days of experiments, the results were finally achieved. Li Yang was very excited and looked up information about this type of rice.

This is a rice variety that had just been bred by an academician of agronomy and had not yet been circulated in society. Li Yang did not want to alert the enemy, so he turned around and contacted Yang Yingying.

The Yang family is engaged in the food-related industry, so purchasing rice seeds should not be a problem after knowing the source.

With his mind relieved, Li Yang told Gao Miao to take good care of the remaining rice ears and threw him two five-yuan life-saving talismans.

Gao Miao's progress was very fast. It was not known whether it was the effect of the Five Yuan Life-Preserving Talisman, but when Li Yang checked his physical condition, he found that one-tenth to one-twelfth of the Yin energy in his body had been dispelled, and the cold aura on his body had also faded a little.

Although Gao Miao's physique was disliked by Li Yang and Chi Yanhong, they didn't think about how amazing these two were. They were both capable of practicing the Qi-eating Root Method.

In ancient times, Gao Miao's aptitude and foundation would make him a disciple that many sects would fight for. Otherwise, he would not have had the chance to inherit the Sanskrit phantom from Qishan Temple.

"Thank you, Master Li!" Gao Miao was overjoyed. He accepted the talisman and almost burst into tears.

Damn it, ever since that bastard squirrel discovered that there was a target who could be bullied in Baiyun Mountain, he has been blocking him in the temple every few days. He is simply a bully, making him scared every time he goes out.

After all, I, Gao Miao, am an outstanding recruit in the company. How come I was teased by a fat squirrel and turned into a little shrew?
"Just wait, you bastard squirrel! Once I master the breathing technique, I will be the first one to find you to avenge my past humiliation!"

Gao Miao looked puzzled and gnashed his teeth. After Li Yang finished his instructions, it was already evening. The dark moon in the sky shone brightly. Li Yang walked to the back mountain with his hands behind his back to practice the Gan Yuchan Shiqi method.

After many days of hard work, the experience bar of Yuchan's Qi-eating method has approached the 1000 mark.
