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

Chapter 23 Theater
Li Yan refined the fifty-seventh life energy.

The black and red life energy contains vigorous vitality.

When his corpse dog soul integrated with fifty life energies, he had already reached his limit of cultivation.

Therefore, the six newly cultivated life energies were all used to light up the second soul.

Before he lit up his second soul.

In the dark space inside the body, the dark red light emitted by the corpse dog soul only shines within a distance of thirty feet.

The six black shadows representing other life souls were covered by the dark red light area.

As for the three active little figures representing the three souls, they are in deeper darkness.

Cultivation is to nourish life.

The first soul is the corpse dog soul that wards off evil. After it is lit up, it will not invade from external evils and will be hard to get sick.

The second soul, Fu Shi soul, strengthens the body. After it is lit up, the body will be strong and healthy, and can walk as fast as the wind.

The functions of the five spirits are actually closely related to the human body.

In other words, the seven souls are the internal manifestations of the human body, and lighting up the seven souls is a process of strengthening the body.

That is why, only after practicing for a certain period of time, one can prolong one’s life and enjoy immortality.

The seven spirits influence each other.

After Li Yan lit up the second soul a few days ago, the dark red flame emitted by the second soul intertwined with the light of the first soul, as if a chemical reaction had occurred. The light became brighter and spread rapidly in the dark space.

The dark area that originally covered thirty feet suddenly expanded to sixty feet.

At that time, Li Yan felt that his muscles became tighter, his skin became tougher, and his strength increased a lot.

Now that his second soul had merged into the seventh life energy, he felt that his physical body had become much stronger.

It seems to have reached the first transformation node.

Li Yan came to the mirror and pinched his arm.

Although he looked the same in the mirror, the muscles in his arms now felt like blocks of iron.

He could clearly feel that his body's strength had increased a lot, more than double that when he had just lit up his second soul.

"Is every seven life energies a transformation?"

Li Yan seemed to be thinking about something. He had the same feeling when he had his first soul.

However, the outward manifestation of the corpse dog soul's power to ward off evil spirits is difficult to see.

So he wasn't sure.

However, Fu Shipo directly strengthened his body, and Li Yan could clearly feel every change.

What’s more, there are such big changes nowadays.

"Cuckoo-"

Li Yan's stomach suddenly growled at an inopportune moment.

A strong feeling of hunger came over him, and he devoured all the desserts and fruits on the table in the room like a whirlwind.

But she still felt a little hungry, so she opened the door and told the maid to go to the kitchen to prepare some more food.

……

The Palace God Celebration arrived as scheduled.

On this day, the city was decorated with lights and colorful lanterns.

There were lion and dragon dances, jugglers, magicians, shadow puppets, and people from all walks of life showed up.

It is said that there will be lantern festivals, iron flowers, fireworks, etc. at night, which will be very lively.

Even people from Wu'an Prefecture near Hengjiang Prefecture came to join in the fun.

Wu'an Prefecture is about two or three hundred miles away from Hengjiang Prefecture. Even if you drive a horse-drawn carriage, it will take almost a day to get there. These people had already received the news and rushed here yesterday.

Of course, they dared to come here only because the Hengjiang Prefecture’s divine domain had been restored.

The two divine realms intersect, and as long as they don't go to remote areas and follow the official road, they don't have to worry about encountering monsters or ghosts.

Many merchant families only do business in areas protected by the domain of the God of Palace.

For example, the Li family has a lot of businesses in Wu'an Prefecture. But this also leads to their lack of knowledge and fear of demons and ghosts.

Before encountering the Black Sun disaster, no one in Hengjiang Prefecture had ever thought that they were so close to the demons.

……

Li Yan was sitting in a carriage at this time, heading towards the largest theater in the city.

Today he changed into a set of white clothes, with his long hair tied up with a jade hairpin. His face was fair, and he looked like a handsome young man.

Especially when he started practicing, there was an ethereal aura around him, as if he was a banished immortal, which made him particularly eye-catching.

Even the little maid who often met Li Yan blushed and dared not look at him when she saw his appearance today.

Li Yan opened the car curtain and looked toward the street. The whole city was filled with a cheerful atmosphere.

He looked at the scene in front of him, and seemed to be infected by the atmosphere in the city, with a smile on his face.

The carriage passed slowly along the street.

Not long after, they arrived at a huge theater.

Li Yan got off the carriage and looked at the four large characters "Spring and Autumn Theater" written in a flamboyant style on the theater with a calm expression. He followed a servant into the gate.

The coachman followed the waiter's instructions and drove the carriage to a special parking area nearby.

Li Yan walked through the main entrance of the theater, and a huge courtyard appeared before him.

There are flowers, plants and trees planted everywhere in the yard. There is a pavilion and stone bridge on one side. You can hear the sound of flowing water and a faint fragrance fills the yard.

In the center of the courtyard is the theater.

Before Li Yan stepped into the theater, he heard the sound of babbling coming from the theater.

"Third Master, please follow me."

A maid, with lowered eyebrows, took Li Yan into the theater.

The hall on the first floor was almost full of guests, who were watching the opera on the stage with excitement, and cheers could be heard from time to time.

As soon as Li Yan stepped into the theater, he saw a black cat lying in a girl's arms next to a separate table on the second floor. Its originally bored eyes suddenly brightened up.

"Xiaotang, look at that young man in white."

The black cat leaned close to the girl's ear and spoke in a soft voice, just like the voice of a seven or eight-year-old girl.

"what happened?"

Upon hearing this, the girl hurriedly followed Black Cat's instructions and soon found Li Yan being taken up to the second floor by a maid.

There was a look of doubt on her face.

Although Li Yan looked extraordinary in both appearance and temperament, she did not notice anything else unusual.

How to get a black cat's attention?

"This is a cultivator, and it seems that he has already entered the perfection of the second soul, and is about to light up the third soul, or may have even already lit up the third soul."

Although the black cat couldn't tell how many years of Taoism Li Yan had practiced, it was still able to judge that he was a practitioner based on some of his characteristics.

For example, based on the way Li Yan walked, it could tell that Li Yan had obviously never learned martial arts.

But the tremendous vitality in his body is almost comparable to those powerful warriors, and this can only be achieved by a cultivator who has reached the second soul.

"A practitioner who lights up the three souls?"

Cui Xiaotang showed surprise on her face. Under the guidance of the black cat, she had already sensed the three souls and seven spirits and started to practice life energy.

She also heard some knowledge about spiritual practice from the black cat.

Therefore, the importance of lighting up the three souls mentioned by the black cat is very clear.

It takes at least twenty-two years of practice to light up the third soul.

This young man looks like he is less than 20 years old. Even if he has been practicing since his mother's womb, it shouldn't be so fast, right?

"That's right, with such talent, he can almost be compared to those geniuses who have come out of the big sects to gain experience."

The black cat was a little confused. Today, Hengjiang Prefecture was protected by the divine domain, and the demons and ghosts had disappeared.

Why would a cultivator who has cultivated to this level appear here?
