From a Zhengyi Taoist Child to a Master of All Laws

Chapter 71 Planting the Way
Night, Baiyun Mountain.

The Moon Essence Wheel spun in the air, absorbing the moonlight from the sky.

Li Yang sat cross-legged on the bluestone, frowning and thinking hard, looking at the experience bar records on the system panel.

If it happens two more times, the Jade Toad Qi Eating Method will be upgraded to a higher level.

Li Yang closed his eyes and looked inward. The moon Qi cultivated by Yuchan's Qi-eating method and the sun Qi cultivated by Yangwu's Qi-eating method were one clear and one white. They were clearly separated in Dantian, and each was occupied on one side.

However, the Jade Toad Qi Eating Method's Qi purification cultivation is more profound, occupying most of the Dantian.

The moonlight was clear. Half an hour later, another cycle ended. The sky and the earth were cool. Li Yang suddenly had an indescribable feeling.

[Yuchan Qi-eating Method +1]

Li Yang discovered that with this practice of Yuchan eating Qi, something seemed to appear out of thin air in his Dantian, like a dot, or a seed.

Perhaps it did not appear out of thin air, but was sensed by Li Yang at this delicate moment.

He practiced the Jade Toad Qi Eating Method again, but this time the movement was beyond Li Yang's imagination.

As soon as he started to practice his skills, spiritual energy and moonlight from all directions poured in.

The point formed by the pure Qi absorbed all the moonlight and grew rapidly. Then it rushed straight up, passing through the Jade Pillow Tower, and its target was directly between the eyebrows.
Li Yang felt an extremely itchy sensation between his eyebrows, his aura was sometimes faint and sometimes deep, and his whole body was filled with clear light.

When the light between his eyebrows was about to condense, the faint sound of immortals suddenly came into Li Yang's ears, and the entire mountain top was illuminated by moonlight.

Li Yang suddenly understood what the next realm after the innate realm was, which was to condense the Qi seed and plant it in the small space between the eyebrows of the ancestral orifice to connect the Qi throughout the body.

Although the methods of cultivation of the Qi-Eating Root Method and the Inner Alchemy Method are quite different, the Inner Alchemy Method is not a castle in the air that suddenly appeared out of nowhere. Its appearance must have borrowed some things from the Qi-Eating Root Method.

However, when Li Yang was looking through ancient books for records of ancient Qi-eating alchemists, he discovered that external alchemy was actually the more mainstream method in the pre-Qin period.

External alchemy, refining external elixirs, through various secret methods, collecting rare objects to refine elixirs for consumption, or directly taking certain herbs to improve physical fitness, or even achieve enlightenment overnight.

Li Yang speculated that by the pre-Qin period, there were not many people who could truly master the method of eating Qi. The alchemists at that time collected spiritual objects and rare treasures according to the idea of ​​eating Qi, refined them into external elixirs, and then fed them back to themselves.

Later, the spiritual energy was extinguished, and the spiritual objects and treasures gradually disappeared. It then evolved into the inner alchemy technique, which regarded the human body as a cauldron, and the essence, energy and spirit as medicine, which condensed into elixir inside the body.

But no matter whether it is external elixir or internal elixir, the word "elixir" is important.

Dan means single, and one means single. Only the Tao has no opposite, so it is called Dan. The sky is clear with one, the earth is peaceful with one, the valley is full with one, and people live long with one.

Now it seems that the origin of this "Dan" and the method of eating Qi that has been passed down all the way is this Qi seed.

Many thoughts flashed through his mind in a flash, but at the critical moment, Li Yang suddenly discovered that with the continuous rise of the cathode Qi seed, the daily Qi cultivated from the Yangwu Shiqi method in his Dantian was constantly compressed and was even about to be expelled from the body.

Looking through the system, I found that the text in the column of Yangwu's Qi-eating Method was indeed garbled and became unclear.

Li Yang had a feeling that once the Qi seed of the ancestral acupoint was planted, it could never be changed. This laid the foundation for future longevity and was the most important turning point on the road of cultivation. Once the Qi seed was planted, it would quickly control the body's Qi and exclude other alien spiritual energy.

In other words, once the Yin-polar Qi seed is planted, the Yangwu Qi-eating method can no longer be successfully practiced.

Li Yang frowned slightly.

Just when the last circulation of Qi was about to be completed, Li Yang made up his mind to abruptly stop the circulation of Qi. The Yin-polar Qi seed fell back into Dantian, and all the strange phenomena disappeared instantly.

Li Yang's body was filled with energy and it took him a long time to recover.

"No, if I break through like this, I will definitely miss a lot of things!"

“Although I don’t know if there were people in ancient times who practiced both root methods at the same time, since I have such an opportunity, I will definitely not cut off my own arm and abandon the Yangji root method.”

Li Yang was panting, his expression very determined. He wanted to advance both root methods at the same time, and plant both Yin and Yang Qi seeds at the same time. This was the path he wanted to take!

The Yuchan Qi-eating method was stuck at the experience bar of 999, and Li Yang didn't dare to move it anymore. He would never advance until the Yangwu Qi-eating method was cultivated into a Qi seed.

Although the advancement was not successful, Li Yang has already had a preliminary understanding of the scenery of the next realm.

He named it: Seeding Dao.

Li Yang's current realm can be regarded as half a step into the Tao, and the Yin-polar pure Qi in his dantian seems to have undergone some changes during the advancement process just now.

Li Yang looked through the system interface and called up the experience bar of Yangwu's Qi-eating method.

[Yangwu Qi-eating Technique: Level 1 (430/1000)]

"I still need 570 points. Now I have stopped practicing the Jade Toad Qi-Eating Method. With the help of the Spirit Stone, I should be able to practice the Yang Crow Qi-Eating Method to the advanced level in a month."

The mystery of the sun and the moon passed by in the blink of an eye.

Ten days passed in a blink of an eye. Yang Feng went up the mountain twice. After finding the five-yuan life-saving talisman from Gao Miao, he wanted to buy it from Li Yang, but Li Yang extorted some good things from him.

At this time, perhaps because the other eleven types of rice seedlings had been pulled out, the spiritual rice that Gao Miao had been taking care of finally produced rice ears and entered the filling and maturity stage.

Not many of this batch of spiritual rice were planted, and the yield was extremely low. Li Yang and Gao Miao only harvested about 1 kilogram of rice.

Under normal circumstances, the yield of hybrid rice per mu can reach about 1000-1200 catties, while that of conventional rice is 800-1000 catties. According to Li Yang's calculations, the spiritual rice he cultivated using spiritual stones and formations can only yield about 100 catties per mu, which is less than one-tenth of hybrid rice.

Fortunately, this was not for eating, but for cultivation. Li Yang scooped out a cup of finely husked and milled rice with pain and asked Gao Miao to use it for cooking. The remaining rice was left for the next sowing.

Gao Miao did not dare to be negligent. He had never seen such magical rice before. The ordinary rice that took several months to mature became different here every day. Moreover, the refined rice milled by Li Yang had a special fragrance even from a long distance.

Although Gao Miao is young, he has learned relevant skills in the kitchen when he was in the army. Gao Miao slowly boiled a cup of rice into a pot of crystal millet porridge. The fragrance of the rice porridge filled the entire dining hall, and even the squirrels and golden toads that wandered around in the mountains every day were attracted.

The rice porridge was neither too thin nor too thick, just the right consistency. The squirrel jumped onto the table with a snap and looked at Li Yang eagerly.

Although the golden toad was not as spineless as the squirrel, it kept glancing at the porridge on the table.

Li Yang took a sip, nodded with satisfaction, and looked up to see the man and two beasts whose pitiful eyes seemed to be about to fall into the bowl.
