Wet viviparity

Chapter 587 Three Fires, Guangyuan Prefecture
Ji Ming didn't say anything final about the Kui beast.

The Longxiao Palace guarded by the Kui beast could cause disputes within the two divisions of the Thunder Department. There must be some reason behind it. The Kui beast might be able to give him a surprise, but even if not, there would be no loss.

On Diaoyutai, Ji Ming often sat under the Wuxun Divine Willow, feeling the subtle changes of the earth and wood elements in it. After sitting in meditation for about half a year, he realized the earth and wood escapes from the Divine Willow.

The key point is the Earth Escape Technique. As for the Wood Escape Technique, one has already gained some understanding through years of exposure to the strong winds and can master it with just a little practice.

Now, for him, he has mastered the most difficult earth escape method, and the remaining gold, water and fire escape methods are just a matter of time and effort.

During the past six months, Zao Ling'er from the Thousand-foot Pond had often visited him, with a humble attitude, always asking him about the mysteries of the changes in the Five Elements Escape Technique, and she wanted to make close friends with him.

Unfortunately, Ji Ming had no intention of making friends.

The best age for a cultivator to make good friends is in his twenties or thirties. When he first entered the path of cultivation, Ji Ming was already in the middle stage of the Golden Elixir, his unruly mind had long been subdued, and the time for them to be of like mind had passed.

Nowadays, it is difficult to make friends unless it is by chance.

Zao Ling'er often came to visit, which reminded Ji Ming of his two or three good friends.

So he recorded a few letters and sent them to Jiheng Mountain, Taiping Mountain, Liuyan Island in the South China Sea and other places, informing them of where he was currently practicing, and asking them to inform him if they encountered any difficulties outside.

On this day, Ji Ming was hiding in the wind and sand, flying left and right among the white-scaled rocks, when Zao Ling'er actually came in person to deliver a letter to him.

Ji Mingyuan's spirit glanced through the letter, his eyes showing a strange look.

The person named in the letter is Ding Minjun. The reason why the letter was sent here is that it is the 666th year since the Guangyuan Water Palace in Cangjiang, Chixian Prefecture was born. At that time, all the old masters of Huangting Palace will gather in Jinsha Village to join in the celebration and plan to hide the treasure of the Water Palace.

For this grand event, Huangting Palace followed the old rules and each of the immortals was given a spot, and they could invite friends and fellow practitioners to explore the water palace together.

Ding Minjun has now attained the fourth level of the Golden Core Realm, and she just happens to have a spot in her hand. She feels that it is difficult for her to gain much from this grand exploration of the mansion with her cultivation level at the early stage of the Golden Core Realm, so she thought of inviting Ji Ming to go and see it for herself, as a way of repaying Ji Ming for taking care of Ding Ruyi.

"Guangyuan Water Palace!"

Ji Ming knew that this water palace was said to have been built by the first Xidu River God in the upper reaches of the Cangjiang River. This River God was closely related to the Prince of the Dragon Palace of the East China Sea [Gunlong] during the Yuanhuang period when the world was ruled by heaven.

Ding Minjun didn't say much in the letter, and probably didn't think that Ji Ming could get any treasure in Guangyuan Water Palace. This was understandable, as Ding Minjun didn't know that Ji Ming's Taoism had greatly improved and his magical powers had become great.

In order to gain a deeper understanding of Guangyuan Water Palace, Ji Ming went to Qianzhangtan for the first time.

Zao Ling'er at the bottom of the pond was very surprised at Ji Ming's arrival. Although he was a bit reckless, it did not mean he was stupid. He knew that Lingxuzi had no special feelings towards him, even though he was also studying Taoism in this immortal temple.

After these days of contact, Zao Ling'er has long called Lingxuzi "Brother Daoist". She deeply admires Lingxuzi's methods and insights, and regards him as a master on the path of spiritual practice.

Ji Ming came to the bottom of the pool and saw Zao Ling'er dancing with three spiritual fires, trying her best to burn the bluestone below the pool. However, the water in the pool was a thousand feet deep, and that little spiritual fire was just a drop in the bucket.

Seeing this, Ji Ming couldn't help but say, "To burn the bluestone under the Qianzhang Lake, in addition to using ingenuity, you also need to cultivate the essence of fire. Although your spiritual fire is refined by the right method, it is still right but not pure."

Zao Ling'er said subconsciously, "This is the magical power of Tonghua Palace, the art of fire under the one true fire, the righteous law of fire."

After finishing speaking, Zao Ling'er slowed down her tone and said, "It's not that I doubt you, Brother Dao. Since I mastered the art of fire essence, I have rarely encountered rivals among my peers. Even in the Yellow Dragon Temple and White Tiger Hall in the palace, there are few rivals."

Ji Ming looked up and down at Zao Ling'er in surprise and said, "In that case, you are from the Zhenxian Temple under the Huangting Palace." Zao Ling'er couldn't help but reveal a hint of pride and nodded reservedly.

He knew in his heart that even a Taoist as brilliant as Lingxuzi would look up to him upon hearing the name of Zhenxian Temple.

The Huangting Palace has dominated the Middle-earth for a long time. Through the changes of dynasties, it has always suppressed the demons in the world.

Precisely because it had been powerful and prosperous for too long, the Huangting Palace had to internalize the three major Taoist veins of the temple, the temple, and the hall. It was called a sect externally, and the Three Taoist Alliance internally.

Zhenxian Temple is a branch of the Cangtian Sect Leader and enjoys a special status among the three Taoist alliances of Huangting Palace. There is even a book of immortals in the temple. As long as one's name is listed in it, even a chicken or a dog will become an immortal in the future.

"Then do you know Senior Xuanxuan?"

Jiming asked.

The mysterious general of Yanshou Palace was actually an elder in Huangting Palace in the lower world, a cultivator of the fifth realm of fetal spirit.

When Zao Ling'er heard Ji Ming call out this name, her eyes narrowed.

He said, "Xuanxuan Heweng is an old man in the White Tiger Hall of Huangting Palace. It is said in the sect that he is in the fifth realm and is about to break through the void and ascend to heaven. Brother, do you know Xuanxuan Heweng?"

"Haha, he's my immediate superior, how could I not recognize him?"

Zao Ling'er suddenly realized, "I never thought that Brother Dao is an immortal from the Yanshou Palace."

Ji Ming shook his head and said, "What immortal family? He is just a clerk in the immortal class, who is just delivering talismans between heaven and earth."

"This is a noble position in heaven, and it can also accumulate external merits and hidden virtues, which is beneficial to Taoism."

As Zao Ling'er was speaking, she thought of Lingxuzi's magical power, and something dawned on her mind, so she changed the subject and said, "With Brother Dao's talent, if Xuanxuanhe Weng knew everything, he would definitely not stick to one method and promote him as appropriate."

"Ha ha!"

Ji Ming restrained his laughter a few times, and felt that Zao Ling'er was quite interesting, not as naive as he had imagined.

Ji Ming did not expect Zao Ling'er to help him introduce General Xuanxuan. For such matters, he still had to find an acquaintance whom he trusted enough to get things done, such as Ding Minjun's master, Master Yuan Ren.

"Speaking of which, under the magical power of One Qi True Fire, there are three fire arts: "Essence Fire", "Qi Fire" and "Spirit Fire". Each of them can be refined into the One Qi magical power. Why did you choose to refine the Essence Fire?"

His question was already quite private, and even slightly offended the voyeur, but Zao Ling'er replied without a second thought: "Among the three fire techniques of essence, energy and spirit, the essence fire is the fire for refining the devil, which is the most effective in controlling lust and lust, and is beneficial to cultivation.

Therefore, most of the cultivators who practice this "Three Flowers of Essence, Qi and Spirit" like to refine this art of essence and fire."

Ji Ming continued to ask: "What is the story behind the divine fire?"

Zao Ling'er felt a little puzzled, not because Lingxuzi kept asking him questions about magic, but also because why he asked about the divine fire instead of another qi and fire technique.
