The Ji Family's Pride

Chapter 103 Daozang
"Uncle Xuanyang!"

Outside the Taoist Canon Hall, Ji Xiaoshan saw the burly man in armor still drinking and guarding in front of the Taoist Canon Hall, and immediately saluted.

"Oh! It's Qingping! I haven't seen you for more than ten years!" The armored man paused while picking up the wine glass, and looked up. It was a young man in a green Taoist robe who was looking at him. "Good boy! I heard from Minghong that you went out to explore the world, and when you came back, you caused a big stir. Now you are here to collect the ten-year quota of your third-generation disciples?"

Taoist Xuanyang, as the second-generation disciple on duty at the Daozang Hall, could not leave before the end of his term, but he was extremely well-informed. It was a rare event in hundreds of years for a cultivator with the realm of perfection of all things to directly kill one with the realm of perfection of the soul, so he had naturally heard about it.

"Receive the ten-year share of the third-generation disciples?" Ji Xiaoshan was stunned. If Taoist Xuanyang hadn't mentioned this, he would have almost forgotten it. After all, the ten-year share of the third-generation disciples was only one hundred kilograms of Yuan Liquid. He practiced the Pure Yang Qi training method, and the Yuan Qi of heaven and earth that his second Yuan Soul exhaled every day was probably more than one hundred kilograms of Yuan Liquid.

"Uncle Master, I am not here for this matter, but to exchange for magical powers and secret techniques." Ji Xiaoshan said as he looked at Taoist Xuanyang. His mind moved, and several mysterious auras of Taoism spread around him. "Uncle Master, how many black and white pills do you think I can get in exchange for my state of enlightenment?"

"The realm of your Taoism..." Outside the Taoist Temple, Taoist Xuanyang looked at several Taoism ideas that had reached the realm of Taoism, entwined with each other. The most powerful of them was the sword meaning that was extremely sharp and majestic.

"So many Daos?" Taoist Xuanyang opened his mouth wide, "Your understanding of Dao... Are you a reincarnated immortal? Have the memories of your past life awakened?"

Taoist Xuanyang is a Yuanshen Taoist who has been practicing for a long time. He has seen many geniuses in the academy, but he has also seen many people who have comprehended many paths at a young age. It took him only one day to slowly practice to the Yuanshen Taoist level. If it was an ordinary path, he would naturally not be so surprised.

But if he had not perceived this great way of sword incorrectly, it must have reached the level of the great way realm. Among them, there was the perfect and completely understood way of flowing water, the way of fire and the way of sword music had also reached the level of the way realm. Even the weakest way of breeze seemed to have been completely assimilated into the way of sword by Ji Xiaoshan, giving him the feeling of a small black and white picture that had just taken shape.

No, it is somewhat different from the black and white picture. If I have to describe it, it is that one sword creates all things!

"Hmm. Your comprehension of the Dao... When the Dao of Sword reaches the Dao realm, you will be rewarded with four thousand black and white pills. When the Dao of Fiery Fire reaches the Dao realm, you will be rewarded with one thousand black and white pills. When the Dao of Flowing Water reaches the Dao realm, you will be rewarded with one thousand black and white pills. When you fully comprehend the Dao of Flowing Water, you will be rewarded with two thousand black and white pills. A total of eight thousand black and white pills!" Taoist Xuanyang sensed the true meaning of the Dao in the air one by one, and then said slowly.

"Okay." Ji Xiaoshan nodded gently. He looked at Taoist Xuanyang and said softly, "Uncle Xuanyang, my soul has also reached the level of spiritual consciousness."

"Has spiritual consciousness been born?" Taoist Xuan Yang paused and then said, "When the soul reaches the spiritual consciousness level, you will be rewarded with 2,000 black and white pills. Release your spiritual consciousness so I can see it."

Ji Xiaoshan released his spiritual sense as instructed.

Taoist Xuan Yang sensed the strength of Ji Xiaoshan's consciousness, and then nodded and said, "Yes, it has indeed reached the level of soul. Add these two thousand black and white pills, and the total is 10,000 black and white pills.

Ji Xiaoshan thought to himself that the three soul secret arts required 10,000 black and white pills for the Destroying God Art, 3,000 black and white pills for the Bewitching God Art and 2,000 black and white pills for the Shocking God Art, so 15,000 black and white pills were exactly needed. "10,000 black and white pills? That's not enough!"

Ji Xiaoshan looked at Taoist Xuanyang and waved his hand, and four thick golden books appeared. "Uncle Xuanyang, I got some immortal-level skills during my adventures this time. My clan kept a copy, so I copied it with the watermark technique and left it in the academy."

"Immortal-level methods? Four books?" Taoist Xuanyang widened his eyes, staring blankly at the four golden books in front of him. The entire Black and White Academy had accumulated countless years, but there were only twenty-eight books. Ji Xiaoshan took out four of them this time.

"Are you sure you want to present these immortal-level techniques to the academy?"

Ji Xiaoshan's behavior is rare. Some disciples are more willing to give powerful Taoist scriptures to their tribes, and it is rare for them to give so much to their own sects.

"It's for the academy, and it's just in time to exchange some black and white pills for me. I want to learn some magical skills in the academy." Ji Xiaoshan smiled. He had already considered taking out the cultivation methods that were not available in the Taoist Canon Hall of the academy. What's more, a backup copy has been left in the clan, and there is no point in keeping it in his hands forever.

"Yes." Taoist Xuanyang nodded, "These methods are all immortal-level methods, and are extremely precious. With these methods, the foundation of my academy has been enriched a lot. However, I can't make the decision to exchange the methods for the black and white pills. I need to inform the immortals in the academy about this matter before I can give you a reply."

……

"Well. The little fellow Xuanyang is not in the Taoist Temple guarding the Taoist scriptures, but I don't know why he is looking for me?" In a spacious hall of a mansion, a young child emitting endless coldness suddenly opened his eyes and asked in confusion.

"Hmm, is it about that little fellow Qingping? I just happen to have something to find him for." Immortal Jackdaw was stunned when he heard Taoist Xuanyang's voice transmission, "He went out to adventure and took four immortal-level manuals to the academy, and exchanged them for some black and white pills at the Taoist Canon Hall to exchange for magical skills?"

"His second soul has reached perfection, and he has made some contributions to the academy. According to the rules..." Immortal Jackdaw thought, "Well. Let's send a message to Wu Feng and the others to discuss it."...

"Jackrabbit, has your disciple's second soul been perfected?" As soon as the Five Crazy Immortal got the news, he came to the Jackrabbit Immortal's residence. He later learned that Ji Xiaoshan had the Xuanpin Pearl, a treasure bestowed by the academy, which carried the second soul. Upon learning that this treasure was given to a talented disciple in the sect and was also the Longxu Immortal's own treasure, he naturally had no objection.

"Qingping has only been practicing for more than ten years! He has already achieved the perfection of his soul? This is extremely unexpected!" The tall man wrapped in chains, Hengfu Immortal, was amazed as he entered the hall. He practiced a pure Yang Qi training method. If he only absorbed Yuanye to practice, the demand for Yuanye would be quite high. However, he achieved the perfection of his soul in one breath.

At this moment, all the immortals from the Black and White Academy entered the main hall of the Jackdaw Immortal's mansion.

"Well. If your soul is perfect and you can offer a fairy-level method that is not available in the four academies... then I will agree." The Five Crazy Immortal glanced at the Jackdaw Immortal and nodded slightly.

"I agree too!" said the Immortal Hengfu.

"It takes only a few decades of practice to comprehend the realm of the Great Dao. I agree!" The old man with a long beard and wearing a crown robe spoke softly after thinking for a while.

"In that case, let's follow the rules!" The Crow Immortal looked around and saw that several immortals all agreed, so he nodded slightly.

……

a long time.

"Qingping, I have already informed the immortals in the academy of this matter, and they all agree that you can learn the secret techniques in this Taoist temple as long as you need them!" Taoist Xuanyang was silent for a moment before he spoke slowly.

"As long as you need it, just learn it." Ji Xiaoshan was stunned. Did the immortals agree unanimously? He understood in an instant, and thought to himself, "I guess Master took this opportunity to tell the immortals about my second soul. It's not bad."

Taoist Xuanyang looked at Ji Xiaoshan and then smiled, "Qingping, don't be in a daze. Uncle Jackdaw asked me to tell you that you are a disciple of my Black and White Academy, and you should practice these secret techniques. The so-called exchange of black and white pills for secret techniques is actually just to make you practice well. I can't let you get it too easily, as if it's pie in the sky."

"Okay." Ji Xiaoshan also showed a smile on his face, "Then Uncle Xuanyang, please thank all the ancestors for me!"

"Go ahead." Taoist Xuan Yang smiled and said, "Remember to bring me the simplified version and I will exchange it for the real version."

Ji Xiaoshan bowed respectfully, turned around and walked into the Taoist Temple.

……

"Although I can choose the methods in the Daozang Hall at will now, I must have a clear idea in my mind which ones I can choose. Some of them are of great help to me, while others require me to practice them hard for a long time, but in the end they are time-consuming and laborious. I have to make some choices... Just choose the methods as I thought when I came here. After all, there is only more than ten years. Even if I know every method, it will not be as effective in improving my strength as mastering one in depth." Ji Xiaoshan's eyes swept across the huge bookshelves, scanning the large number of books on the bookshelves, and then went to the area where the magical powers and secret techniques were recorded as soon as possible.

……

“Just a few?” Taoist Xuanyang took the few manuals of the secret arts handed over by Ji Xiaoshan and looked at Ji Xiaoshan with some sarcasm. “The way you came to my Taoist Temple just now, I thought you were going to empty out the whole Taoist Temple!”

Ji Xiaoshan smiled, "Uncle Xuanyang, you are joking. Although I have obtained the consent of all the immortals in the academy, I still have some choices in my mind about which book to learn and which one not to learn. I have never forgotten the principle of biting off more than you can chew."

"Hmm. Not bad!" Taoist Xuanyang looked at Ji Xiaoshan with satisfaction, and then said with a smile, "Wait a minute, I'll get these books of magical skills for you."
