The Weird Way of Immortality: My Taoism Progress in One Day a Year

Chapter 188 Meeting
"Please rest assured, Emperor Xia. I have brought all the spiritual objects. They will surely help the Ninth Prince to continue his martial arts and allow him to practice martial arts again."

In the magnificent hall.

Taoist Qingyun smiled and bowed to Emperor Xia, whose gaze was as deep as the sea.

In his eyes, although Emperor Xia was a fourth-rank warrior, the oppressive feeling he brought was completely different from that of ordinary warriors.

It seemed as if there was a five-clawed golden dragon above his head, roaring towards the sky, and this was the dragon energy surging in his body.

This breath caused the golden elixir in his body to tremble slightly and brought some pressure to his mind.

This is a flaw of the sorcerer, and when facing the oppression of dragon energy, it will be greatly affected.

Dragon energy is the energy of humanity, and is the condensed will of all people.

During the hundreds of years since Great Xia came to power, every emperor of Xia was determined to innovate and expand the territory.

Therefore, the dragon energy of the Great Xia Dynasty is purer and of a higher rank than the magic power condensed by a sorcerer.

Unless one reaches the upper third level and transforms one's magical power, one can be free from the influence of the dragon energy.

Otherwise, under the dragon energy, the power of the magic spells cast by the sorcerer will be greatly reduced.

However, martial arts are different from sorcery, and the suppression of dragon energy on martial arts is extremely weak.

This is also the reason why when Emperor Xia was assassinated two years ago, a fourth-rank martial arts expert was sent first to break the dragon energy that protected Emperor Xia, and then the sorcerers who were lying in ambush took action.

"Then I'll have to trouble Taoist Qingyun."

Emperor Xia's eyes were calm.

Taoist Qingyun bowed and replied: "It is my honor to be able to share the worries of Emperor Xia."

Emperor Xia nodded slightly to Taoist Qingyun, then stretched out his hand and called over an eunuch, ordering him, "Go and take Taoist Qingyun to see the Ninth Prince."

"Yes."

The eunuch received the order, lowered his head, walked up to Taoist Qingyun and showed him the way.

"Thank you, father-in-law."

Taoist Qingyun smiled slightly, and under the guidance of the eunuch, he left the hall and walked to where Li Yan lived.

At this moment, Li Yan was sitting cross-legged in the small pavilion by the lake in the backyard.

After he entered the Qi Hai realm, the Qi Hai in his body was continuously absorbing the spiritual energy between heaven and earth.

Not only is the scope constantly expanding, but it is also flushing out the turbid air in his body.

Although spiritual consciousness has not yet been born, the five senses have been greatly enhanced under the influence of spiritual energy.

"Ninth Prince, Taoist Qingyun is here to visit."

The eunuch brought Taoist Qingyun to the courtyard and shouted to Li Yan in the pavilion.

"You all stand down."

Li Yan opened his eyes and asked the two palace maids waiting in the pavilion to leave.

The eunuch was also waiting outside the courtyard.

Only Li Yan and Taoist Qingyun were left in the courtyard.

Taoist Qingyun had a complicated look in his eyes.

As a fourth-grade golden elixir sorcerer, he had discovered the strange aura of Li Yan as soon as he entered the courtyard.

It is completely different from the martial arts atmosphere.

It turned out that he had already entered the eighth level of sorcerer, the Qi Sea realm.

Taoist Qingyun came here to help Li Yan continue his martial arts and rebuild his martial arts.

But I never thought that Li Yan had already entered the eighth level of sorcerer.

Once the Qi Sea is formed, even if he continues Li Yan's martial veins, it will be difficult for him to use the martial veins to refine his body and embark on the path of martial arts.

A martial arts practitioner cannot have both.

Once Li Yan's Qi Sea was condensed, he was destined to become a sorcerer.

"Ninth Prince, you know that if you use the ancient method to refine your Qi, you will probably only be able to become a sixth-grade sorcerer in the future."

"And now that your Qi Sea is complete, you have entered the eighth level of sorcerer. Otherwise, I can also help you switch to martial arts."

"Now even I can't do anything about it."

Taoist Qingyun shook his head repeatedly, feeling extremely regretful.

He knew that Li Yan had learned the ancient Qi Refining Method from his disciple three days ago, and he also saw that Li Yan had only condensed his Qi Sea today. If he could have come a day earlier, Li Yan's Qi Sea had not yet condensed, and he could have let Li Yan switch to martial arts at that time.

But now Li Yan's Qi Sea has been condensed. If his Qi Sea is destroyed, Li Yan will be seriously injured or even die.

And if he doesn't solve the problem of Qi Hai, Li Yan won't be able to rely on his martial meridians to refine his body and practice martial arts.

Li Yan stepped into the eighth level of sorcerer and condensed his Qi sea, but he was powerless to change the result.

Moreover, after three days of practicing Taoism, he opened up his Qi sea using ancient methods.

No matter how talented the sorcerer Li Yan is, he is destined to find it difficult to become a high-level sorcerer.

And most importantly, after entering the path of sorcerer, Li Yan could no longer bear the dragon energy.

This means that Li Yan is destined to not be able to serve as the next Emperor Xia, and this is the most critical issue in his eyes.

"It doesn't matter. I have no intention of practicing martial arts anymore."

"As for stopping at the sixth-grade warlock, that's not necessarily the case."

"Tai Qingzi, the founder of the sorcerer sect, was the one who opened up the Qi Sea with ancient methods, and finally practiced alone and entered the realm of the fourth-grade golden elixir."

"Now that I have become a warlock, the road ahead is smooth. What do I have to fear?"

Li Yan smiled slightly. Now only he knew how terrifying the Qi sea he opened up was.

Naturally, he would not take Taoist Qingyun's words seriously.

"It is naturally excellent that the Ninth Prince has the ambition to be compared with my Grandmaster Taiqing."

"It's not easy to practice as a sorcerer, not to mention that you are a prince and you are also protected by dragon energy."

"Dragon energy suppresses magical powers. If the Ninth Prince casts a spell in the future, the power will be weaker than that of others due to the dragon energy in his body."

Taoist Qingyun sighed.

This is also the truth behind why the entire royal family of Daxia practiced martial arts.

"Oh, is that so?"

There was a hint of surprise in Li Yan's eyes.

He didn't know that as a prince, practicing sorcery would have such negative effects.

But he didn't take it to heart.

There is always a way out when you reach the mountain. Even if this is true, there may be a solution.

So he didn't care and said to Taoist Qingyun: "Thank you Taoist Qingyun for telling me, but I don't think it's a big deal. It's just that the power of the magic is a little weaker."

"When I become a high-level sorcerer, even if my spells are less powerful, what does it matter? I can still suppress them with my grade."

"I have not yet mastered the magic. Taoist Qingyun is a true Taoist from Taiqing Palace. I wonder if he can give me some pointers?"

Taoist Qingyun shook his head with disappointment and said, "As the prince of Great Xia, if the Ninth Prince really wants to practice magic, he must first consult the Emperor of Xia."

"If Emperor Xia agrees, I will naturally give my full support."

Li Yan raised his eyebrows.

He didn't want to have too much contact with Emperor Xia, his original biological father.

However, as a prince, he had to get the approval of Emperor Xia before he could practice sorcery.

"In that case, I will ask my father to let me follow the Taoist priest to the Star Observation Pavilion to practice magic."

Since returning to the palace these few days, he has never asked to see his previous life's biological father, the current Emperor Xia.

Firstly, he was worried that his flaws would be discovered, and secondly, he was truly concentrating on practicing Taoism.

And Emperor Xia did not come to Ningxin Palace to see him.

Originally, he had no intention of meeting Emperor Xia.

But now he had to take the initiative to meet Emperor Xia.

Otherwise, I don’t know when I will be able to get in touch with a warlock again.

After all, the Great Xia Palace has only the Taiqing lineage of the Stargazing Pavilion.

There is no other place more suitable to teach him how to practice sorcery.

Moreover, as a member of the Xiangzhu Society, Taoist Qingyun was obviously disappointed with his cultivation as a sorcerer.

But if he really decided to practice the way of sorcery, his other identity also meant that Taoist Qingyun was destined to do his best to teach him.
